Chapter 634: Baoqing enters the palace
Xuanyuan Jue no longer said anything to the imperial concubine, turned around and left the racecourse.
After returning from the racecourse, Concubine Huangxian never felt at ease, and walked around the palace thinking about how to keep Xuanyuan Jue, and finally felt that the key person in the whole thing was Baoqing, so she immediately asked people to call Baoqing into the palace.
Murong Xuanji was talking to Baoqing when he heard the rumor from his subordinates that Concubine Huangxian wanted to see Baoqing, and the two of them glanced at each other in surprise.
"Why does the Imperial Concubine want to see the people in my mansion?" Murong Xuanji sternly looked at the messenger and asked.
"Back to the words of the Nine Emperor Princesses, the minions don't know, the minions are just acting on orders." The messenger was frightened by Murong Xuanji's stern expression, and said in fear.
"Miss, there must be something important for Concubine Huangxian to find me, you better let me go." Baoqing said softly.
"I'll go into the palace with you." Murong Xuanji guessed the purpose of Concubine Huangxian to let Baoqing enter the palace, and planned to accompany her, so that even if Concubine Huangxian was unhappy in her heart, at least she would not do anything to Baoqing for the sake of her thin face.
"No, miss." Baoqing opened his mouth and politely refused, "Since Concubine Huangxian is calling me to enter the palace alone, there must be something to explain, if you go with me, it will displease Concubine Huangxian." β
"Baoqing is right, you just let her enter the palace alone." Before Murong Xuanji could speak, I don't know when Xuanyuan Hao had already left the study and stood behind Murong Xuanji.
"But I'm worriedβ" Murong Xuanji looked at Xuanyuan Hao in embarrassment and wanted to explain.
"I know what you're worried about, I don't think the Imperial Concubine will do anything to Baoqing? After all, Baoqing is from my Nine Emperor Prince's Mansion, and she will also worry about three points. Xuanyuan Hao calmly said to Baoqing: "You go, don't let yourself be wronged too much, remember that there is still the Nine Emperor Princes' Mansion for you to bear." β
"Yes, I'll go into the palace." Baoqing nodded movingly, and entered the palace with the messenger.
Although this is not the first time Baoqing has stepped into the palace of the Imperial Concubine, nor is it the first time he has seen the Imperial Concubine, but it is the first time that he has been so nervous and uneasy.
"Slave Baoqing greets the imperial concubine." Baoqing respectfully knelt on the ground to greet the imperial concubine. But Concubine Huangxian never let her get up, she just kept her head down and knelt.
After a long time, Concubine Huangxian said coldly: "Raise your head and show this palace!" Seeing Baoqing raise her head, Concubine Huangxian looked at her without hesitation, looking at Baoqing, although her eyebrows were clear and beautiful, she was not very beautiful and moving, and Concubine Huangxian always felt that she was not as good-looking as Yan Qing.
Feeling a little uncomfortable being looked at by the Imperial Concubine, Baoqing mustered up the courage to ask: "I don't know what the Imperial Concubine has to call the slave maid into the palace today?" β
"This palace wants to know what is going on between you and the Eighth Prince? Did you use some dirty means to seduce the Eighth Prince, otherwise why did the Eighth Prince tell the palace that you would not marry? Concubine Huangxian asked Baoqing sternly.
"There is innocence between Baoqing and the Eighth Prince!" Baoqing panicked in his heart, but quickly calmed down and said sincerely, "Although Baoqing has a good impression of the Eighth Prince, he has never thought of Gao Pan, let alone other thoughts that should not be had, please ask the Imperial Concubine Mingjian." β
"Let this palace be clear?" Concubine Huangxian snorted coldly and said angrily: "Earlier, the Eighth Prince threatened the palace to go to the south if you don't agree to be together, and today morning, the Eighth Prince has asked the emperor to go to the south, do you think the palace should agree to you being together?" β
"The Eighth Prince is going to the south?" Baoqing looked at Concubine Huangxian in shock.
"Don't you pretend to be innocent to this palace?" Seeing Baoqing's shocked look, Concubine Huangxian not only didn't believe her, but hated her even more and said, "Do you think that if you threaten me like this, I will agree to be with you?" Don't be delusional, this palace will not accept a maid as the daughter-in-law of this palace. β
"Baoqing never dared to be delusional." Baoqing immediately opened her mouth to explain, and when she saw the sharp gaze of Concubine Huangxian, she couldn't help but lower her head.
Concubine Huangxian looked at Baoqing, who was so silent, kept taking a deep breath to slowly calm down her emotions, and said coldly: "It's best if you don't have such ambitions, and you'd better die with such a heart, no matter what kind of feelings you have between you and the Eighth Prince, I won't agree to you being together!" β
Seeing the resolute appearance of Concubine Huangxian, Baoqing felt as if the strength of his whole body had been drained, and he looked at Concubine Huangxian with lost eyes.
Seeing such Baoqing, Concubine Huangxian was also a little unbearable, but when she thought that this was for Xuanyuan Jue's good, the little pity in her heart immediately disappeared, and she still looked at her indifferently with a cold face.
"The slave and maid remembered the words of the imperial concubine, and the slave and maid knew what to do." Baoqing endured the pain in his heart and said helplessly.
"The people who don't owe to the Nine Emperors' Mansion are really sensible." Concubine Huangxian nodded with satisfaction and looked at Baoqing and said, "Since you have understood my words, then go back." I think the Nine Emperor Princesses are also waiting for you in the mansion. β
"Yes, the slave and maid are gone." Baoqing silently left the palace of the imperial concubine, and walked towards the palace gate in despair, and when passing by the imperial garden, he did not find the imperial concubine not far away.
"Why does that person look so familiar?" The imperial concubine pointed to Baoqing and asked the maid beside her, "It seems to be someone from the Nine Emperors' Mansion." β
Mama stretched out her head and looked at Baoqing, and quickly recognized Baoqing, "Master, isn't that girl the maid who blocked you from entering the house in the Nine Emperors' Mansion that day?" What does it seem to be called Baoqing? How did she end up in the palace? Mama asked curiously.
After being reminded by Mama, the imperial concubine also quickly remembered Baoqing, and displeasure immediately appeared on her face, remembering what happened in the Nine Emperors' Mansion that day, her unhappy expression slowly became angry, and her eyes looked at Baoqing again, and this time she found that she looked a little different from that day, as if she had no spirit.
The imperial concubine hooked her fingers at Mama and whispered a few words in Mama's ear, only to see Mama nodding her head and looking at Baoqing meaningfully.
After the explanation, the imperial concubine was not in the mood to continue to stay in the imperial garden, and turned around and returned to the palace. Leaving Mama looking at Baoqing with ill intentions.
The sky had gradually darkened, and Murong Xuanji's heart was becoming more and more uneasy, walking back and forth in the mansion, and even going out of the mansion to look, but Baoqing was never seen.
"Let's go back!" I don't know when Xuanyuan Hao also walked out, looked at Murong Xuanji's worried look, and opened his mouth to persuade.
"Nothing will happen to Baoqing, right?" Murong Xuanji looked at Xuanyuan Hao and said uneasily: "It's been so long since she entered the palace, no matter what she said, what should be said has already been said, why hasn't she come back, will she be the imperial concubineββ"
Murong Xuanji didn't say the latter words, but Xuanyuan Hao already understood what he meant, and immediately opened his mouth to deny it: "Impossible, Concubine Huangxian is not that kind of person." Although Concubine Huangxian doesn't like Baoqing, she won't do what you think. β
"Then why don't you say Baoqing has come back now?" Murong Xuanji asked Xuanyuan Hao, and seeing that he was also puzzled, he said anxiously: "Why don't I go to the palace and ask the Imperial Concubine." β
"That's not good. What does this make the imperial concubine think, I want you to be a dignified princess to go to her for a maid to find someone, and say what kind of system it will become. Xuanyuan Hao said with some disapproval.
"I can't care so much anymore, I'm just worried about Baoqing now." Murong Xuanji said with some excitement.
"I want people to come into the palace to inquire about the news, you are waiting patiently." Xuanyuan Hao returned to the mansion with Murong Xuanji in his arms, and immediately asked the secret word to investigate, and soon the secret word came back in a hurry.
"Master, I asked, and the people in the palace of the imperial concubine said that Baoqing left not long after entering the palace, but the guards guarding the palace gate all said that they didn't see Baoqing leave." The secret whisper told Xuanyuan Hao and Murong Xuanji the news they had inquired about.
"So Baoqing is still in the palace?" Xuanyuan Hao and Murong Xuanji glanced at each other, and then the two of them realized that something seemed to be wrong, if Baoqing really left the Imperial Concubine, he would not still stay in the palace, something must have happened.
"Whisper, prepare the horse, I will enter the palace immediately." Murong Xuanji's patience was all over, and he couldn't wait to run out, wanting to enter the palace immediately to find Baoqing.
Xuanyuan Hao knew that Murong Xuanji was already anxious at this time, and he didn't open his mouth to stop it, nodding towards the secret words, and asked him to prepare the horse according to Murong Xuanji's instructions.
After sending Murong Xuanji away, Xuanyuan Hao was still a little uneasy, but it was inconvenient for him to go to the harem, and after thinking about it for a while, Xuanyuan Hao also left the mansion.
"Brother Nine Emperors, what's the matter with you coming to me so late?" Xuanyuan Jue, who was not in a very good mood, heard the communication of his subordinates and saw Xuanyuan Hao, and looked at his serious expression, and asked with some curiosity.
"At noon today, Concubine Huangxian called Baoqing into the palace, and Baoqing has not returned to the house since then. I asked people to go to the palace to inquire, and they all said that Baoqing left soon, but the guards at the palace gate said that Baoqing had never left the palace. Xuanyuan Hao said solemnly.
"The mother concubine called Baoqing to enter the palace?" Xuanyuan Jue's heart sank, and without thinking much about it, he immediately went out.
"Brother Eight Emperors!" Xuanyuan Hao also ran out, and even grabbed him the moment Xuanyuan Jue got on the horse, "Xuanji has rushed to the palace, I know you are going to enter the palace now, but no matter what happens, you must hold back your temper, don't quarrel with the imperial concubine, if she doesn't burn, she will definitely hate Xuanji even more." β
"I see." Xuanyuan Jue couldn't hear Xuanyuan Hao's advice at this time, worried that his mother would embarrass Baoqing, so he jumped on the horse and rushed to the palace immediately, praying in his heart that Baoqing must be safe.
