Xuanyuan Hao originally wanted to take another look at Murong Xuanji before leaving, but he was afraid that he would be even more reluctant to leave after seeing it, so in the end, he left without looking at her.

He sighed deeply and told himself that everything would be fine.

Murong Xuanji returned to the room and did not rest, but kept standing by the window and looking out, although no one came in to spread the word, but she knew that Xuanyuan Hao had left, Murong Xuanji's hand couldn't help but cover her lower abdomen and said: "Child, you must be safe in your mother's belly, we have to wait for your father to come back and take us home." ”

In the capital, except for some people in the General's Mansion who knew that Murong Xuanji was still in the capital, everyone thought that Xuanyuan Hao and Murong Xuanji, and Xuanyuan Mo was also intensively planning how to rescue the imperial concubine.

"Father, this is a letter written by Chu Yuze, the lord of the Western Qi Kingdom, to his father, and the Emperor of Chu hopes that I can marry the seventh princess of the Chu Kingdom as soon as possible." On the top of the main hall, Xuanyuan Mo took out the letter that Chu Wanwan handed over to him and handed it to the emperor.

The emperor just nodded calmly, and glanced at the slave beside him, and the servant immediately went to take the letter to the emperor, and the emperor still had a calm expression on his face after reading the letter, so that people couldn't guess what he was thinking.

"Father, Erchen also hopes to marry the Seventh Princess of Chu as soon as possible, he has lived in Erchen's mansion for so long, and has been nameless, Erchen hopes to give her a name as soon as possible, so that she can stay by Erchen's side openly." Xuanyuan Mo took the initiative to ask the emperor.

"This matter is free to claim." The emperor handed the letter to the servant on the side and said, "These days are the birthday of Concubine Huang Li, let's wait until after Concubine Huang Li's birthday, I am not in the mood to think about this now." ”

"But the father-" Xuanyuan Mo just wanted to open his mouth to continue the request, but when he saw the emperor's displeased look, he immediately stopped, and said with another reason: "Father, yesterday the son went to visit the mother in prison, and saw that the mother was very sick, and the son asked the father to let the son take the place of the mother, and asked the father to bypass the mother and let her out." ”

"Father, the country has national laws, the family has family rules, since the imperial concubine is at fault first, she should be punished, and she will be easily forgiven if she bypasses it, so how can she convince others in the future." Xuanyuan Jue immediately stood up and spoke.

"Father, the law of the country is nothing more than human affection, the son did not let the father release the mother concubine, the son is willing to be punished for the mother concubine and be imprisoned for her." Xuanyuan Mo had already guessed that someone would stop him, so he was ready to persuade the emperor.

"Father-" Xuanyuan Jue was just about to open his mouth to stop it, but the emperor immediately stopped the two of them loudly.

"Enough, isn't it annoying enough? From the harem to the top of the main hall, can't you give me a quiet? Retreat! The emperor angrily stood up and left the hall.

Xuanyuan Mo and Xuanyuan Jue glared at each other, and left the hall in a hurry, Xuanyuan Jue was about to go to the Nine Emperors' Mansion to see Baoqing, but before he could get out of the palace gate, he was stopped and invited to the palace by the imperial concubine.

"What's the matter with my mother?" Xuanyuan Jue asked a little coldly, deliberately turning around not to look at the Imperial Concubine, thinking of Baoqing's injury, he still had some resentment towards the Imperial Concubine in his heart.

"I heard that you had a dispute with the third prince above the main hall today and almost quarreled, which angered the emperor, right?" Seeing Xuanyuan Jue's cold attitude towards herself, Concubine Huangxian felt uncomfortable, but she still pretended to be casual and said: "The emperor has not been in a very good mood recently, you should be more careful, don't always have disputes with the third prince." ”

"I'm not arguing with him, I'm just telling the truth." Xuanyuan Jue said righteously. "I know that he wants to save his mother, but the imperial concubine made a mistake first, how can she be easily forgiven, then this is very unfair to the people who were hurt by her."

"If the person the imperial concubine hurt was not Baoqing, you wouldn't be so persistent?" Concubine Huangxian asked Xuanyuan Jue a little angrily, "Are you really unaccustomed to seeing such a thing happen when you are so obsessed with this matter, or are you asking for an explanation for Baoqing?" ”

"What's the difference?" Xuanyuan Jue looked at the imperial concubine in puzzlement, "The two things you said are one thing at all, whether it is for the national law or for Baoqing, the imperial concubine cannot be forgiven so easily." ”

"Whether the imperial concubine will be forgiven or not is not up to you. I'll tell you the truth, the emperor wants to let go of the imperial concubine, but recently because of the death of the imperial concubine, he has no intention of dealing with this matter, so don't be too persistent, so as not to anger the emperor. "Concubine Huangxian was kind to persuade her, but Xuanyuan Jue couldn't hear what she said at this time.

"I believe that my father will not be so mediocre and do something to cover up." Xuanyuan Jue retorted loudly to the Imperial Concubine, and the angry Imperial Concubine turned white.

"He is the emperor, how many people can guess his mind, you are still dead to Baoqing's heart, let me tell you, no matter if you don't stop me, you and Baoqing can't be together, I have asked the emperor tentatively, even if the emperor gives you permission, he will not agree that you will go to a maid to be your princess." Concubine Huangxian looked at Xuanyuan Jue with a serious face and said.

"Impossible, I don't believe my father will go back on his word." Xuanyuan Jue looked at Concubine Huangxian in surprise, and didn't believe her words at all, "My father promised me to marry the woman I liked, and I believe that my father has no jokes." ”

"Do you believe your father and not me?" Concubine Huangxian looked at Xuanyuan Hao sadly and disappointedly and said, "Whether you believe me or not, that's all I have to say." Concubine Huangli's birthday is coming, and your father's mood will be very bad at this time, I hope you can think twice and don't anger your father. After saying the last advice, Concubine Huangxian turned around and walked towards the inner room, and her attitude of not wanting to see Xuanyuan Jue again was obvious.

Xuanyuan Jue looked at the back of the Emperor Xian Concubine leaving, his mood was also very heavy, he didn't mean to contradict the Huang Xian Concubine, but every time he saw the Huang Xian Concubine, he would think of the innocent Baoqing, the guilt in his heart tortured him deeply, he took a deep breath, he also turned around and left the palace of the Huang Xian Concubine.

As soon as Xuanyuan and Murong Xuanji left, the entire Nine Emperor Prince's Mansion felt empty, Baoqing stepped out of bed and hesitated, and slowly approached the mirror. Baoqing hasn't looked for a mirror since she was injured, but even if she doesn't look at it, she knows that she not only has scars left by whipping on her body but also on her face, she didn't feel how important her appearance is before, but now she is suddenly scared, afraid that she will become an ugly monster.

The mirror was in front of her eyes, and as long as she sat down, she could see her face clearly at this time, but Baoqing was timid and looked at the mirror hesitantly, as if she was looking at a monster. After struggling for a long time, Baoqing slowly sat down in front of the mirror, and when she looked at herself in the mirror, her face showed a frightened expression, as if she saw a ghost in the mirror.

"Ahh Baoqing screamed uncontrollably, covering his face tightly with his hands, and ran away from the mirror, hiding far away, his eyes full of fear and fear.

As soon as Xuanyuan Jue walked into the backyard of the Nine Emperors' Mansion, he heard Baoqing's frightened screams, and immediately rushed into Baoqing's house with Baoyue and the secret words, seeing Baoqing's frightened appearance, following her frightened gaze to see the mirror turned over to the countertop, and seeing the scars on her skin peeking out from her fingers, knowing why she was like this.

"Put the mirror away." Xuanyuan Jue explained to Baoyue, and then rushed over and hugged Baoqing tightly and comforted, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm here, it's okay." ”

Hearing Xuanyuan Jue's voice, Baoqing, who had lost his soul, slowly woke up, looked at Xuanyuan Jue who was holding him, suddenly pushed her away forcefully, turned around and covered his face tightly with his hands, and shouted excitedly: "You go, you go, you go quickly." ”

"Baoqing, what's wrong with you? You don't want to look like this, you don't scare me! Baoyue looked at the abnormal Baoqing and choked in distress, ran over and hugged Baoqing and said, "It's okay, the injury on your face is only temporary, it will get better, and you will be as beautiful as before." ”

"No, no. I've become a monster, a disgusting monster, don't look at me, I'll scare you. Baoqing said sadly.

"No, you're not a monster, you're just hurt, you're going to get better." Baoyue comforted her sadly, "You're not disgusting at all, you're not scary at all, don't think about it yourself." Your injuries will be healed, the best Jinchuang medicine in the whole capital in our house, your injuries will definitely get better. ”

"No, it won't be good!" Baoqing broke away from Baoyue's embrace, rushed to the bed and covered his face with the quilt and said loudly: "You all go out, I don't want to see you, and you don't lie to me anymore, I'm a monster." ”

Baoyue also wanted to step forward to comfort her, but she was stopped by the secret words, who shook her head at her, made a gesture to go out, and the three of them left Baoqing's house.

"Why don't you let me continue to comfort her." Baoyue looked into the house worriedly, and asked in a puzzled way, "I've never seen Baoqing like this, she must be very sad now, and Miss is not in the house, I really don't know what to do." ”

"Baoqing just can't accept her injured face for a while, so she will be hit out of control, compared to the pale and powerless comfort you give her, what she needs most at this time is to stay alone and let her emotions calm down slowly." The code whispered calmly.

"That's right, let's let her be alone for a while."
