"Nine Emperor Princesses." Concubine Huangxian sighed, slowly stood up and said to Murong Xuanji: "You can stay here and take care of Baoqing with peace of mind, although this palace doesn't want her to be my daughter-in-law, except for this, this palace does not have any prejudice against him, before in the Nine Emperors' Mansion, she would rather offend the imperial concubine than forget the things that the Nine Emperors explained to her, it can be seen that she is a loyal person." Although my palace is not as good as the queen's palace, if you need anything, I will tell the servants in the palace that I will not kill Beren, but Beren will die because of me. I never thought of hurting Baoqing, I didn't expect her to be beaten like that by the imperial concubine because of me, and I can't get rid of the responsibility, so let me make up for it. ”

"Concubine Huangxian's words are serious, and the imperial doctor also said that as long as you recuperate well, Baoqing is fine, please let Huangxian Concubine relax and stop blaming herself, as for the eighth prince, I will let the nine princes persuade and persuade him." Murong Xuanji said reasonably.

Concubine Huangxian nodded and said with relief: "That's good, you have to worry more." Hongu didn't go in to see her, so as not to make her feel uncomfortable. Concubine Huangxian slowly walked out of the house with the support of the maid, and after seeing Concubine Huangxian leave, Murong Xuanji walked into the inner room.

"The Eighth Prince and the Imperial Concubine are gone, did you hear what we said outside just now?" Murong Xuanji looked at Baoqing who was staring blankly with his eyes open, and asked helplessly: "The Eighth Prince is very worried about you, why don't you want to see him?" Is it because of the Imperial Concubine? What did the Imperial Concubine tell you yesterday? Someone saw you come out of her palace in despair, if you hadn't been hit and lost your vigilance at that time, you wouldn't have been caught secretly, and you wouldn't have been treated so cruelly. ”

"Miss, I'm tired, I really don't want to talk about yesterday anymore." Baoqing looked at Murong Xuanji weakly and said: "The Eighth Prince is very good, the previous Eighth Prince was very filial, but because of me, he contradicted the Imperial Concubine several times, angered the Imperial Concubine, and even wanted to leave everything in the capital to go to the south for me, I don't want the Eighth Prince to become disloyal and unfilial because of me." ”

"So you intend to sacrifice your affection for his filial piety?" Murong Xuanji looked at Baoqing disapprovingly, but Baoqing avoided her gaze and turned her head to the side.

Looking at Baoqing who was evading, Murong Xuanji looked at her again and again, and all the words that wanted to persuade were left in the bottom of her heart, now Baoqing's appearance is not the time to have the strength to have a long talk with herself, Murong Xuanji plans to wait until she is better and then enlighten her well.

From dawn to when it was all dark, Xuanyuan Mo stood outside the emperor's door for a whole day, not eating or drinking, but the emperor never agreed with him, and seemed to have made up his mind to punish the imperial concubine well.

"Third prince, you better go back." Concubine Huangxian came to Xuanyuan Mo's side at some point, and said softly: "The emperor is still angry, even if you keep standing, the emperor will not see you." You go back first, and when the emperor's anger subsides, you can intercede for your mother. ”

"No, I'll wait until my father is angry and willing to see me!" Xuanyuan Mo didn't look at the imperial concubine, and said sneeringly: "At the beginning, my mother concubine let you be grounded in the palace, and blamed you and humiliated you in front of many concubines, but now that my mother is in trouble, are you secretly happy in your heart, don't pretend to be a good person here, I don't need your sympathy." ”

"I don't sympathize with you, you will also cause trouble to the emperor like this." Concubine Huangxian was not angry because of Xuanyuan Mo's words, and said calmly: "Don't you know your father's character? The more you beg him here, the more it makes him feel that you are forcing him, which makes him more unhappy and angry, you must understand that the person in this room is not only your father, he is also an emperor! ”

"My mother is still in prison, and I can't do nothing." Xuanyuan Mo knew that what the Imperial Concubine said was not wrong, but when he thought that his mother concubine was now in the prison, he was extremely worried.

"Instead of staying here and continuing to anger your father, it's better for you to go to the prison and take care of it, at least let your mother and concubine not be bullied inside." Concubine Huangxian looked at Xuanyuan Mo calmly, and couldn't help but be a little generous in her heart, thinking that if something happened to her today, would Xuanyuan Jue be as worried about herself as Xuanyuan Mo was?

Concubine Huangxian's words finally made Xuanyuan Mo turn his head to look at her, and looked at her with disbelief in his eyes and asked, "What do you mean by this?" Do you know about my mother? ”

"I don't know about your mother's situation, but you can imagine what kind of place the prison is like even if you don't have to look at it. Haven't you been there too? You should know better than I know the environment inside, your mother is delicate and expensive, and that kind of place is more painful than hell for her. Concubine Huangxian said lightly. Seeing that Xuanyuan Mo was a little shaken, he continued: "Go, look at the weather, maybe there will be rain in the middle of the night, send some cold clothes to your mother, don't get sick." You don't have to worry about the emperor here, although the emperor is angry, he hasn't lost his mind, and he thinks about some things more clearly than you and me. ”

Xuanyuan Mo looked at the imperial concubine for a while, and then looked at the door of the house closed by the emperor, and was entangled in his heart for a long time, before watching the imperial concubine slowly turn around and leave, and soon walked faster and faster, and it didn't take long for him to run up and run towards the palace gate.

The imperial concubine sighed slightly, and then walked into the emperor's room, and saw that the emperor was looking at her intently, so she smiled lightly, and asked the emperor to say goodbye: "The concubine let the third prince go back first." ”

The emperor nodded and said, "I know, I heard everything you said to the third prince. What do you think I should do to have both? It not only gave the Nine Emperors' Mansion an explanation, but also made the Three Princes feel at ease. ”

"Let the three princes feel at ease?" Concubine Huangxian smiled and said, "Doesn't the emperor already have a plan in his heart?" You can't forgive the behavior of the imperial concubine, you want to let the imperial concubine go because for the sake of the three princes, in this case, as long as it is not a capital crime, will it be both soon? Besides, although the maid of the Nine Emperors' Mansion was injured, the imperial doctor also said that as long as he recuperated more, the wound could be healed, so what else did the emperor have to worry about? ”

"Concubine Xian, you sit down and talk to me." The emperor was in a slightly better mood because of the imperial concubine, so he called her to his side and asked, "Concubine Xian, what do you say I should do with the imperial concubine?" ”

"Your Majesty, the concubine can't give you advice on this matter." Concubine Huangxian refused the emperor without hesitation, "How can the concubine decide the future of the imperial concubine, besides, there is still the queen, the concubine just wants to live the rest of her life in peace in this harem." ”

The emperor nodded, did not continue to force her, changed the topic and asked, "Do you have something to tell me when you come to me so late?" Is it about the Eighth Prince? You don't want the Eighth Prince to leave the capital and go to the south, I can understand it, he is my son, and I don't want him to leave me, but if he insists on leaving, I can't force him. ”

"Your Majesty, the concubine heard that you once gave the Eighth Prince a promise that he could marry the woman he liked in the future, right?" Concubine Huangxian suddenly thought of what Xuanyuan Jue had said before, so she asked.

"Yes, I did promise him." The emperor nodded, thought about it calmly, and asked with some surprise: "Could it be that the eighth prince has someone he likes?" Who is it? Is it the daughter of the minister's family? ”

"What if it's not a daughter, but an ordinary person? No, it's even one rank lower than ordinary girls? Will the emperor agree? Concubine Huangxian asked the emperor tentatively, looking at the emperor's increasingly serious expression, an inexplicable uneasiness rose in her heart.

"It's a lower status than ordinary girls, is it a slave who serves people? Or the woman in the green building? The emperor looked at Concubine Huangxian unhappily and asked, seeing her bow her head and silent, he had a bad idea in his heart: "Could it be that the eighth prince is going to the south to be with this woman?" Who exactly is it? Although I promised him that he could marry the woman he liked, if this woman was of a lowly status, or some adulterer, I would never agree. ”

"Your Majesty, don't get excited. Don't say you won't agree, and the concubines won't agree either. The concubine just asked casually. Concubine Huangxian appeased the emperor, and her heart was even more uneasy. knew that the emperor would not easily agree that Xuanyuan Jue and Baoqing would be together. Worried that when Xuanyuan Jue loses his mind and angers the emperor, the consequences will be even more unbearable.

The emperor looked at the imperial concubine suspiciously and said: "If you know anything, tell me, don't try to hide it for him, a loving mother is a failure, the eldest prince is an example of escape, I still like the eighth prince, you must not let him become like the eldest prince, don't let me down." ”

"Yes, the concubines follow the emperor's reminder. will discipline the Eighth Emperor well. "The imperial concubine should accept it, but her heart is even heavier, if the emperor knows that the person Xuanyuan Jue likes is Baoqing, then the two will definitely have a fierce dispute.

"I still have some folds to see, so you can step down." After the emperor waved his hand to let the imperial concubine leave, his mood became troubled again, so he took out the portrait of the imperial concubine and looked at it, and said to himself to the portrait: "Aifei, it will be your death soon, and it will be your death day in a blink of an eye, I didn't promise the Nine Emperors to go to the Eastern Tang Kingdom to mourn you, you won't blame me." Sometimes I really feel jealous of his relationship with your brother, and I feel closer than I have with my father. Do you laugh at me? However, I have agreed to let him go to the Imperial Tomb to accompany you for a few days, so that you will not blame me. ”

The emperor talked to the imperial concubine in the picture for a long time, and then silently closed the portrait, picked up a book on the table and read it carefully.

Although Concubine Huangxian did not come to disturb Baoqing again, Baoqing still insisted on going back to the mansion to recuperate, Murong Xuanji did not refuse, and found someone to bring Baoqing back to the mansion, and Xuanyuan Jue also followed from the palace to the Nine Emperors' Mansion.

"Baoqing still refuses to see me?" Xuanyuan Jue asked Xuanyuan Hao tiredly, "He's blaming me for causing her trouble, so he doesn't want to see me?" ”

"Brother Eight Emperors, why do you think so? Although she didn't say it, Xuanji and I both know her, and she doesn't mean to blame you, so don't think nonsense. Xuanyuan Hao opened his mouth to persuade him.

"I understand, then I'll go home first." Xuanyuan Jue nodded, and turned away lonely. Not long after he left, Murong Xuanji walked out from behind the barrier.

"The Eighth Prince is gone?" Seeing that there was only Xuanyuan Hao alone in the huge hall, Murong Xuanji opened his mouth and asked, looking at his thoughtful appearance, he asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?" What's bothering you? ”

"My father has promised me to go to the Imperial Mausoleum, and we will leave for the Imperial Mausoleum in three days, and we will stay in the Imperial Mausoleum for a month before returning." Xuanyuan Hao sighed, looked at Murong Xuanji and said, "Although the matter of going to the imperial tomb was decided before, but at this juncture, my father urged us to leave, which still made me a little disappointed. ”
