"Master, there is faith!" The secret whisper walked in from outside, and the letter that he had just gotten handed to Xuanyuan Hao, "It's a letter from the capital." ”

Xuanyuan Hao nodded, opened the letter immediately after taking it, and only folded the letter again and put it in the envelope after a long time, the expression on his face did not change at all, so that people could not guess his mood at this time, and they could not guess what the letter said.

"Whose letter is it? What does the letter say? Murong Xuanji and Secret Words glanced at each other and asked with some curiosity.

"It's a letter from the General's Palace. said in his heart that the eldest prince was put in prison for plotting against him, and the queen was also under house arrest in the palace, and the third prince is now ready to move, entering the palace every day, sometimes to greet the imperial concubine, and sometimes to care about his father. Xuanyuan Hao handed the letter to Murong Xuanji.

After reading the letter, Murong Xuanji asked, "Then what are you going to do now?" In the letter, the third brother asked when we would go back. ”

"It's not the time yet." Xuanyuan Hao didn't think about it and said: "Although the eldest prince is now in prison and the queen is under house arrest, but after all, the father has not issued an order to punish them, regardless of whether the eldest prince will not lose everything so willingly, and the queen will not watch her decades of hard work go to waste." ”

"Are you saying that the queen and the eldest prince still have a chance to turn over?" Murong Xuanji asked with some surprise: "Since my father said that the eldest prince and the queen were plotting against each other and intended to murder the emperor, how could my father still give them a chance to turn over, I think my father did not punish him for the time being, because his father was also watching the situation, after all, the queen has been in the harem for decades, and it is impossible for her to have no power of her own, even if the father has hatred and murderous intent towards them in his heart, he has to worry about the power behind the queen." ”

"Although the current situation is favorable to the three princes, as you said, why don't the queen and the eldest prince have no power at all." Xuanyuan Hao said with a sneer: "They won't be so willing to do nothing, waiting for their father's punishment for them." ”

"Are you going to keep waiting?" Murong Xuanji asked Xuanyuan Hao calmly, "What kind of time is the most appropriate time?" ”

"I won't show up until one of the eldest prince and the third prince is truly defeated." Xuanyuan Hao looked at Murong Xuanji, and there was an indescribable light in his eyes, "The snipe and the clam are fighting, and the fisherman is profitable, so I will be the fisherman and get real benefits." ”

Murong Xuanji thought about Xuanyuan Hao's words for a moment, and vaguely understood the meaning of his words, "Husband, I think I understand, no one knows what will happen until the last moment, you want to wait until everything settles before appearing." ”

Xuanyuan Hao smiled gently, reached out and grabbed Murong Xuanji's hand and said with a smile: "You are so smart, you can understand immediately as long as I click on what I say." ”

"Really? But I think you're the smartest. Murong Xuanji smiled mischievously.

"Why?" Xuanyuan Hao blurted out and asked. Even the code words on the side looked at Murong Xuanji with some incomprehension.

Murong Xuanji looked at the incomprehensible gazes of the two, and said kindly: "Doesn't it prove that you are the smartest if you marry someone as smart as me?" ”

"I see." Xuanyuan Hao looked at Murong Xuanji with a smile, and even the secret words couldn't help but smile with his head lowered on the side.

"Master, Nine Emperor Princesses, I'll go out first." After laughing, the code whisper was also interesting and no longer stayed to disturb Xuanyuan Hao and Murong Xuanji, and planned to go out first.

"Wait a minute." Xuanyuan Hao shouted the secret words, looked at him with a serious expression and ordered, "Secret words, you quietly go back to the Great General's Mansion, tell the Great General about my situation here, and by the way, also inquire about the movements of the Third Prince in the capital, as well as the forces on the side of the Great Prince and the Empress." ”

"I understand, I'll go and prepare first, and I'll leave in the evening." Whisper nodded, and left the room.

"Why let the code words go back? Doesn't keeping him with you protect you? Murong Xuanji's expression also became serious, and he looked at Xuanyuan Hao with some concern. Although Xuanyuan Hao's martial arts are very high, there are people by his side to protect him, at least Murong Xuanji can feel at ease.

Xuanyuan Hao knew that Murong Xuanji said this because he cared about herself, so in order not to worry her, he pretended to be relaxed and said, "Do you not believe in your husband's ability so much?" Even if I don't have the code words around, I can protect not only myself but you, so you don't have to worry. ”

"That's not what I meant." Murong Xuanji was worried that Xuanyuan Hao would misunderstand what he meant, and he was anxious to explain.

"Okay, don't worry, I'll walk you outside the house." In order to prevent Murong Xuanji from continuing to think nonsense, Xuanyuan Hao took the initiative to pull her out of the house.

"Ling'er!" As soon as Murong Xuanji and Xuanyuan Hao walked into the garden, they saw Lan Ling'er sitting alone in the pavilion in a daze, glanced at each other with Xuanyuan Hao, walked over and asked with concern, "Why are you here alone?" Now that the weather is getting a little cooler, why don't you add an extra piece of clothing and be careful of getting sick. ”

"I'm fine!" Lan Ling'er smiled shallowly, and when she saw Xuanyuan Hao behind Murong Xuanji, she smiled and said, "You don't have to accompany me, otherwise the Nine Emperor Princes will blame me for disturbing you." ”

"I'm not so stingy yet." Xuanyuan Hao stepped forward and said with a smile: "If Miss Lan hadn't stayed here to accompany Xuanji during this time, so that she wouldn't feel so bored, I would have been too late to thank Miss Lan, how could I blame you." ”

"Does the Nine Emperors really want to thank me?" Lan Ling'er blinked slyly, and said a little mischievously: "If you really want to thank me, you have to see your sincerity." ”

Xuanyuan Hao nodded with a smile, and asked with some curiosity: "Miss Lan said, how do you want me to thank you." As long as I do it, I will not refuse. ”

Lan Ling'er didn't expect Xuanyuan Hao to promise herself so readily, she was slightly stunned, and said a little innocently: "I haven't thought about how to thank you yet, but this favor is owed first, and when I think of how to make you thank me, I will ask you back." ”

"Good. Then I'll wait. Xuanyuan Hao nodded happily in agreement, looked at Murong Xuanji, and said with a smile: "I still have something to deal with, you guys talk about it yourself." ”

Murong Xuanji nodded, and only after watching Xuanyuan Hao leave did she turn to look at Lan Ling'er, and found that although she had a smile on her face, there was a trace of loneliness in her smile, which made people feel a little distressed. Murong Xuanji took the initiative to step forward and take Lan Ling'er's hand, and said with a smile: "Ling'er, if you have anything on your mind, you can talk to me about it, whether you are happy or unhappy, you can talk to me, just like before." ”

"I'm in no mood, I'm fine!" Lan Ling'er turned her head, avoided Murong Xuanji's gaze, and said recklessly: "I live here, I have food and drink without worrying, what else is there to be unhappy." Don't worry about me, care more about the Nine Emperor Princes. ”

"What about Leng Fengran?" Murong Xuanji observed Lan Ling'er's expression and asked cautiously, "What do you think, did you really give up?" ”

Hearing Leng Fengran's name, Lan Ling'er's whole body was shocked, although it was only fleeting, but it was still seen by Murong Xuanji, Murong Xuanji knew that she hadn't really completely let go of Leng Fengran, and felt sorry for her so painfully forcing herself.

Lan Ling'er adjusted her mood and nodded, pretending to look at Murong Xuanji as if nothing had happened, and said, "Why do you still ask this old question, didn't I already tell you that it is impossible for me and him before?" I also have self-esteem, and if he hates me so much, why should I bother him all the time. ”

"Ling'er, it's not like this, Leng Fengran doesn't hate you, even the Nine Emperors can see that he has feelings for you, he is just a fan of the authorities, and he can't see what he really thinks in his heart, if you give him some more time, one day he will understand his sincerity." Murong Xuanji persuaded Lan Ling'er bitterly.

"Xuanji, don't say anything." Lan Ling'er shook her head at Murong Xuanji calmly, and said disheartenedly, "What day is one day?" Is it so hard that I have to wait for him for the rest of my life? Xuanji, I'm tired, I finally made up my mind to give up, don't shake my determination anymore, okay, I'm really in pain. Lan Ling'er's pent-up sadness couldn't hold back anymore at this moment, and tears flowed out.

Seeing Lan Ling'er's pretended strength gradually disintegrate, looking at her tears, Murong Xuanji didn't know what to say to comfort her. I used to always see her innocent and carefree, and she always had a bright smile on her face, but now, she always has a touch of sadness on her face.

After a long time, seeing Murong Xuanji's distressed and worried gaze, Lan Ling'er wiped away her tears and pretended to be strong and said, "Don't worry about me, I'm not as fragile as you think, as long as I give me some time, I will definitely forget him completely." ”

Murong Xuanji looked at Lan Ling'er, who was pretending to be strong, and stopped talking, and finally didn't have time to say anything, after all, this matter was not something that could be solved by persuading Lan Ling'er not to give up, the key was still on Leng Fengran, Murong Xuanji hesitated whether to talk to Leng Fengran.

Murong Xuanji stayed with Lan Ling'er until the evening, originally Murong Xuanji planned to have dinner with Lan Ling'er and wanted to accompany her, but Lan Ling'er politely refused. Lan Ling'er was very grateful to Murong Xuanji for being with her for so long and saying so many words, which made her feel a lot better.

"Don't you really need me to accompany you?" Murong Xuanji asked Lan Ling'er a little uneasily, although she had cried and vented her emotions in her heart, but Murong Xuanji was still a little worried, after all, Lan Ling'er had lived a carefree life since she was a child, and there was not much harm, and this cold incident was a heavy blow to her, Murong Xuanji was really worried that Lan Ling'er would collapse because of this.
