Chapter 652: The Courtyard Reunites
Although it was not for this reason, since Zhou Xiaolan had such a misunderstanding, Murong Xuanji did not explain, nodded and admitted: "Yes, since we got married, we have rarely been separated for so long, I was supposed to go to the imperial mausoleum with him, but because of my body, he had to go to the imperial mausoleum alone, I felt a little sorry, so I wanted to go to the other courtyard and wait for him to come back." ”
"I can't do this matter, and you will discuss it with your father when he comes back." Zhou Xiaolan neither agreed nor refused, thinking of Murong Xuanji's sorrowful brows in the past few days, she said with some distress: "What if you let you go to live in another courtyard alone and no one takes care of you?" ”
"Erniang, I'm in good health, and I haven't been sick much, so you don't have to worry about me so much. Daddy, when are they coming back? At this time, Murong Xuanji's heart was already yearning to be with Xuanyuan Hao, so he anxiously asked about Murong He's whereabouts.
"It should be soon, I'll go to the front hall first, you can go to the study after you eat these, I'll talk to your father about it, but you still have to tell your aunt about this matter first, she must have a way to convince your father." Zhou Xiaolan felt sorry for Murong Xuanji and didn't want to see her disappointed.
"Thank you, Erniang." Zhou Xiaolan's words made Murong Xuanji's heart relax slightly, and she nodded vigorously, after seeing Zhou Xiaolan leave, Murong Xuanji's mood couldn't settle down, thinking that she should quickly persuade Murong He to go to the other courtyard to find Xuanyuan Hao earlier.
After breakfast, Murong Xuanji came to the study, and saw that Murong He had returned, looking at his expression, Zhou Xiaolan should have conveyed what she wanted to say to him.
"Dad, are you back, have you had breakfast? Would you like to prepare one for you? Murong Xuanji deliberately asked from side to side, seeing Murong He's thoughtful expression, he asked with concern, "Dad, is there something wrong with you?" Did something happen in the early dynasty? Could it be that the emperor didn't go to court again? ”
"No, it's not." Murong He waved his hand and denied it, "The emperor has been in court early today, and he has also decreed that the Nine Emperor Princes will come back early, so you can bear with it a little longer, and when the Nine Emperor Princes come back, you can go back to the mansion to live, so isn't it good to stay in the mansion for a few more days?" ”
"Dad, I want to go to the other courtyard for a few days." Murong Xuanji said his thoughts very seriously, "Last night, I went into the palace to find the emperor, and I also negotiated the conditions with the emperor. ”
Murong He looked at Murong Xuanji in shock at first, but quickly calmed down and asked, "So the emperor will go to court today, will he agree to let the Nine Emperor Princes come back early, are these all because of the conditions between you and the emperor?" You are so reckless, such a rash action. Although Murong He blamed him, he looked at it with a smile in his eyes, "When the emperor appeared in the main hall today, it really scared a lot of people, and everyone thought that the emperor would continue to stay in the palace of the imperial concubine." ”
Murong Xuanji shrugged indifferently, and said indifferently: "Everything the emperor does has his reasons, the emperor is not as simple as we imagined, as long as he agrees with his husband to come back early, I don't care about the rest." ”
"So you really want to go to another hospital?" Murong He looked at Murong Xuanji and nodded firmly, seeing Murong Xuanji like this, Murong He also knew that she had made up her mind, and he couldn't control her decision, but he said with some anxiety: "But your body-"
"Dad, I'm in good health." Murong Xuan Xuanji eagerly interrupted Murong He's worries, and said reassuringly: "I will let Secret Whisper and Baoqing go to the other courtyard to take care of me, I want to wait for my husband to return to the house together." ”
"Okay, I'll have someone send you there tomorrow." Murong He nodded helplessly in agreement.
"I'll go tonight." Murong Xuanji said: "I'm worried that leaving during the day will be too conspicuous, and I will be found out and cause trouble, so I will leave here quietly at night." ”
Murong Xuanji had already planned everything, and Murong He had no excuse to stop it, so he had to nod and agree. I don't know if it's because I can meet Xuanyuan Hao soon, Murong Xuanji has been in a good mood all day, her spirit is much better, she has eaten a lot of things, and even the phenomenon of vomiting has disappeared.
In the evening, Murong Xuanji quietly left the General's Mansion under everyone's reluctant gaze, and hurried to the Beijing suburb courtyard on horseback, and saw someone standing there at the door of the courtyard from a distance, and gradually got closer to find that it was Xuanyuan Hao waiting for him, Murong Xuanji kicked the horse's belly a few times, so that the horse moved closer to Xuanyuan Hao, and when he was about to get close to Xuanyuan Hao, Murong Xuanji couldn't wait, jumped off the horse and ran towards Xuanyuan Hao quickly, Plunged into his arms.
"Be careful." Xuanyuan Hao caught Murong Xuanji steadily, smiled and reproached, "Have you forgotten that you are pregnant now?" How can you do such drastic things, and what if you hurt your child? ”
"I forgot because I wanted to come to you so quickly." Murong Xuanji smiled, touched her stomach and said apologetically: "Child, I'm sorry, my mother didn't hurt you, my mother just missed your father too much." ”
"Let's go in, Baoyue and Baoqing have already prepared dinner." Xuanyuan Hao let go of Murong Xuanji and walked in taking her hand, dinner was already on the table, "These are your favorite dishes, they are all specially prepared by me for Baoqing and Baoyue, are you hungry?" Hurry up and sit down. ”
"Baoyue is also here, what about them?" Murong Xuanji glanced around and saw Baoqing and Baoyue walking in with something, and Baoqing was wearing a veil on his face, and his forehead was covered with hair, almost covering his entire face, Murong Xuanji was slightly surprised, but he quickly calmed down, smiled and asked, "Are your injuries healed?" ”
"Miss Xie cares, my injuries are all healed." Bao Qing said coldly, although his face was covered, he could still make people feel a cold sense of distance.
"There are no outsiders here, let's all sit down and eat together. Whisper, you can sit down and eat together. Murong Xuanji opened his mouth to speak, but the three of them stood there motionless, looking at Xuanyuan Hao with some embarrassment.
"Since the Nine Emperor Princesses asked you all to sit down and eat together, you can all sit down, anyway, there are no outsiders here." Xuanyuan Hao said with a smile, and sat down with Murong Xuanji first, and then let everyone sit down together.
"I'm sorry, master, miss, I don't have much appetite, I'll go down first." After Baoqing finished speaking, he turned around and left the hall.
"Miss, don't be angry with Baoqing, she didn't mean it." Seeing Murong Xuanji's silent appearance, Baoyue was worried that she would get angry again, and eagerly explained to Baoqing, "Since the injury, Baoqing has become a lot colder, Miss, you go and persuade her." ”
"I see." Murong Xuanji looked at Baoqing's back as he left worriedly.
"What is the situation in the palace now, is the Eighth Prince still unable to move freely?" While eating dinner, Xuanyuan Hao asked in code, "Doesn't the emperor say anything from there?" Is the emperor still ignoring this matter? ”
"Yes!" The secret whisper put down his chopsticks and replied very seriously: "Although I don't know if the emperor knows about this matter, but the queen knows about it, and there is no reaction, it seems that she acquiesced to the imperial concubine to do this." Moreover, he also found out that the queen had met Concubine Huangxian and Miss Yan Qing together in the Imperial Garden, and the queen also took the initiative to match the eighth prince and Miss Yan Qing together. ”
"Is there such a thing?" Murong Xuanji was surprised, glanced at Xuanyuan Hao and asked a little puzzled: "Doesn't the queen know about the Eighth Prince and Baoqing, what is the purpose of her sudden matchmaking between Yan Qing and the Eighth Prince?" ”
"Although I don't know what the queen's purpose is, with my understanding of the queen, it is impossible for her not to know about Baoqing and the eighth prince being together, she knew that she didn't tell the emperor, but instead matched the marriage between the eighth prince and others, and the purpose was definitely not pure." Xuanyuan Hao said calmly, "But now is not the time to care about what the queen has for any purpose, we have to find a way to get the eighth prince out of the palace and unravel the matter between him and the imperial concubine." ”
"I think when the emperor's decree arrives, you will go into the palace to meet the imperial concubine, maybe you can convince her?" Murong Xuanji said with a hint of luck: "You said that the Imperial Concubine treats you and the Eighth Prince equally, maybe she can listen to your persuasion?" ”
Xuanyuan Hao shook his head, not as optimistic as Murong Xuanji, "Concubine Huangxian is not such a ruthless person, if it is not necessary, she will not do fatal and ruthless things, there must be something that stimulated her and made her have to do this." The eighth prince doesn't like anyone else, but likes the people in my house, and my position has become very embarrassing, so I'm worried that the imperial concubine will misunderstand what I mean, and instead let the villain take advantage of the loophole to stir up trouble. ”
"Imperial Concubine." Murong Xuanji blurted out, thinking that the imperial concubine had done this before, she couldn't help but look at Xuanyuan Hao and asked, "Then what should I do?" If, according to what you say, if you want the imperial concubine to release the eighth prince, there are only two possibilities, for a while we will bring people into the palace to rescue the eighth prince, but let the eighth prince die for Baoqing and never get along with each other again, then the imperial concubine will naturally let him go. ”
Xuanyuan Hao shook his head, there was no better way for a while, he just shook his head helplessly and said, "Let it be." Even if we have thought about it so much, have you ever thought about Baoqing's current thoughts. ”
Murong Xuanji didn't react to the meaning of Xuanyuan Hao's words for a while, looked at the secret words and Baoyue's expressions suspiciously, and found that there was something wrong with the expressions of the two, and suddenly thought of the fact that he had seen the expression covering his face just now, his body was shocked, and he looked at Xuanyuan Hao in shock and said, "Could it be that Baoqing's face-"
Although Murong Xuanji didn't finish her words, but the other three all understood what she was going to say later, Xuanyuan Hao and Secret Words were silent and didn't speak, Baoyue suddenly said with red eyes and choked: "Miss, the injury on Baoqing's face can't be eliminated, although the scars have faded a lot, but you can still see the marks one after another, the scars on her face make Baoqing even more indifferent and detached, and she locked up her heart." ”
"Isn't there any other way? Has the doctor seen it? What about some good medicine? Murong Xuanji knew how important appearance was to a woman, a woman disfigured was equivalent to losing half of her life, thinking of those scars on Baoqing's face, Murong Xuanji felt a burst of anger in her heart, and she didn't kill the imperial concubine with her own hands.
"I asked the doctor to come and take a look, and I also opened a house and took medicine, but it didn't work at all, and the doctor was helpless." Baoyue said sadly: "Those precious Jinchuang medicines in the house have also been used, but they are useless. Baoqing seems to have given up, so he has been locking himself in the house and refusing to see anyone, let alone the Eighth Prince. I don't think Baoqing will be with the Eighth Prince. ”
Murong Xuanji sighed secretly, and said helplessly: "I know, I will persuade her well." Murong Xuanji was in a depressed mood and ate dinner, after dinner, Xuanyuan Hao taught the secret words to the study to explain things, and she went to find Baoqing alone.
When I pushed open the door and walked into Baoqing's house, I happened to see Baoqing take off his veil and touch the scars on his face in the mirror, and when he heard someone come in, Baoqing took up the veil in a panic, and the sadness and pain in his eyes had not completely subsided.
Murong Xuanji endured the sadness in her heart, pretended to be calm, walked over and sat down, pointed to the chair next to her and said, "Sit down, talk to me." ”
