"Master, the Nine Emperor Princesses are asking to see you outside." Mama walked in softly and whispered to the Imperial Concubine who had already laid down to rest.

"Nine Emperor Princesses, what's the matter with her coming to the palace so late?" Concubine Huangxian asked puzzled through the curtain, and soon she sat up from the bed, thinking in her heart if Baoqing went back to Murong Xuanji to cry, so now she came to fight for Baoqing, and after thinking about it, Concubine Huangxian still ordered someone to invite Murong Xuanji in.

"Xuanji greets Concubine Huangxian, please forgive me for disturbing your rest so late." Murong Xuanji respectfully greeted her, while looking in the room of the Imperial Concubine, and finally fell on the Imperial Concubine, watching her come to see her with a coat, it seemed that she should have rested.

"It's out of the way." The Imperial Concubine also noticed Murong Xuanji's gaze, and she was even more puzzled in her heart, and asked puzzledly: "Is there something wrong with the Nine Emperor Princesses coming to the palace so late?" ”

Murong Xuanji hesitated for a moment, thinking of Baoqing and still asked: "At noon today, the imperial concubine invited Baoqing into the palace, but until now Baoqing has not returned to the house, so Xuanji will boldly ask." ”

"Hasn't she gone back yet?" Concubine Huangxian asked in surprise, "This palace came to her and asked her to go back after a few words, she didn't stay in the palace room for even half an hour, it stands to reason that she should have gone back a long time ago, could it be that she went to other places and didn't tell you?" ”

"No, it won't. Baoqing is an orphan, she has nowhere to go except the Nine Emperors' Mansion, and Baoqing is not the kind of person who disappears without any explanation. Murong Xuanji didn't want to explain to Baoqing, but looking at the appearance of Concubine Huangxian, it didn't seem like she was lying, and she was even more suspicious in her heart. If Baoqing is not in the palace of the imperial concubine, then where is she now?

"Did the Nine Emperor Princesses say that they suspect that this palace has hidden people?" The Imperial Concubine looked at Murong Xuanji unhappily and said, "This palace only came to her today to say some words, there is no need to leave people behind, if the Nine Emperor Princesses don't believe it, then you can search the palace of the palace to see if she is still here in the palace." ”

"Xuanji didn't dare, but Baoqing hasn't been back to the house since he entered the palace, and now it's so late, I'm a little worried, so I came to Huangxian Concubine to ask, and there is no other meaning. If she offended the imperial concubine, Xuanji voluntarily accepted the punishment. Murong Xuanji said humbly.

Seeing that Murong Xuanji took the initiative to admit her mistake, Concubine Huangxian was not too aggressive, calmed down and said, "The Nine Emperor Princesses are in the wrong place, although the palace did call your maid over at noon, but she just wanted to ask about the matter between her and the Eighth Prince, and she also told her clearly that the palace would not agree to her being with the Eighth Prince." After that, Hongu let her go. Could it be because of this that she was sad that she hid and didn't want to see anyone? ”

Murong Xuanji didn't expect that Concubine Huangxian would say this to Baoqing, which was indeed a big blow to Baoqing, but Murong Xuanji still felt that Baoqing would not go to the palace because of such a thing, even if he wanted to stay alone for a while, he would not stay in the palace, so Murong Xuanji was even more sure that Baoqing had an accident.

"It's not a secret, in fact, I had already asked people to inquire before I entered the palace, and the guards guarding the palace gate said that Baoqing had never left at all, which means that Baoqing is still in this palace, so Xuanyuan will come to Huangxian Concubine to ask about the situation." Murong Xuanji's worry was beyond words, and her mood couldn't help but become nervous, "Now that I heard you say this, Baoqing is not in your palace, so where else will it be?" Baoqing has martial arts, and ordinary people can't trap her, unless she is in a very dangerous situation now. ”

Although the Imperial Concubine has a clear conscience, after all, the person was called into the palace by herself, and now that the person is missing in the palace, how can the Imperial Concubine also have some responsibility, so her expression also eased a little, not as sharp as just now, and took the initiative to say: "Since you found out that Baoqing is still in the palace, do you want this palace to let people look for it in the palace?" ”

"No!" Murong Xuanji refused the kindness of the imperial concubine without thinking about it, and said: "If Baoqing is really arrested, those slaves in the palace will not be able to find it at all, but they will startle the snake, I have to think about what to do in this matter, how to rescue Baoqing." ”

Hearing Murong Xuanji say this, Concubine Huangxian didn't reluctantly let her agree, nodded and said: "Okay, if there is a place where you need help from this palace, you might as well say it directly, although I didn't arrest the person, but after all, I also have a responsibility that I can't shirk, and I also want to find her as soon as possible, so that I can avoid suspicion and give you an explanation to the Nine Emperors." ”

"The Imperial Concubine is serious. Then Xuanji didn't disturb the imperial concubine to rest, and went back first. Murong Xuanji knew that it would be useless to continue to stay, and just as he was about to leave, he saw Xuanyuan Jue rushing in angrily, and before he could say hello to him, he saw him directly past him and rushed in front of the Imperial Concubine.

"Where did you hide the treasure? What are you doing to her? Xuanyuan Jue even forgot to ask for peace, and angrily stood in front of Concubine Huangxian and questioned her, "I said that it was my own decision to go to the south, why did you call her into the palace, where is she now?" ”

The anger that had subsided was made Concubine Huangxian angry because of Xuanyuan Jue's aggressive questioning, and she slapped him without hesitation and asked angrily: "You are too unreasonable!" Is that the attitude you have when you speak to me? Don't say that I didn't give people anything today, even if it is, you can't treat me with such an attitude. ”

Seeing that the relationship between Xuanyuan Jue and Huangxian Concubine was about to erupt, Murong Xuanji on the side immediately pulled Xuanyuan Jue away, at this time, you must not offend Huangxian Concubine, if you offend Huangxian Concubine, then Huangxian Concubine will definitely count this incident on Baoqing's head in the future, and it will be even more difficult for Xuanyuan Jue to be with Baoqing in the future.

"Eighth prince, don't say it, I believe in the words of the imperial concubine, Baoqing is indeed not here." Murong Xuanji opened his mouth to persuade Xuanyuan Jue, "Let's go back and think of a way first." ”

But at this time, Xuanyuan Jue, who was a little out of her mind because she was worried about Baoqing, couldn't hear Murong Xuanji's persuasion at all, pushed Murong Xuanji away, and still angrily questioned the Imperial Concubine, "Even if Baoqing is not here, but if you hadn't called people into the palace, she wouldn't have disappeared now." ”

"So you're blaming me now, aren't you?" Concubine Huangxian looked at Xuanyuan Jue in disbelief, seeing that he was screaming for a woman who treated him like this, she was angry, but more disappointed and cold, she looked at him indifferently and said, "Is it wrong for me to invite a maid to ask a concubine to ask?" ”

"Imperial Concubine, I think the Eighth Prince said something he shouldn't say because he was worried about Baoqing, so don't be like him. Let's take our leave. Before Xuanyuan Jue could say more words that he would regret, Murong Xuanji immediately spoke to stop him. vigorously distanced him from the imperial concubine.

"Stop!" Concubine Huangxian prevented the two from leaving, although she was angry and disappointed, but she had not lost the ability to think, if she couldn't find Baoqing, or if something happened to Baoqing, then she would not only offend the Nine Emperors' Mansion, but she might also lose her only son, so the top priority now is to find Baoqing.

"What else do you want to say?" Xuanyuan Jue looked at his mother concubine dissatisfied, and blurted out: "If Baoqing has any three strengths and two shortcomings, I will never forgive you for the rest of my life." ”

Concubine Huangxian's body shook a little because of Xuanyuan Jue's radical words, and her steps staggered, but fortunately, Murong Xuanji's eyes were quick even if she helped her, looking at her pale face, she looked like she had been hit hard, and she felt a little pity in her heart, although she knew that Xuanyuan Jue was for Baoqing, but it was still a bit too much to say such a thing.

"Concubine Huangxian, you sit down first!" Murong Xuanji immediately poured a glass of water for the Imperial Concubine to calm down, walked to Xuanyuan Jue's side and whispered, "Eighth Prince, don't say any more." Baoqing is indeed not here with Huangxian Concubine, and the most important thing now is not to be angry with Huangxian Concubine, but to think about how to find Baoqing. ”

"How do you know Baoqing isn't here? If it weren't for my mother to hide people, then who would blatantly arrest people in the palace? Besides, Baoqing has martial arts, and the martial arts of those who can catch her are not low! Xuanyuan Jue had already decided that it was the Imperial Concubine who hid the person, no matter how Murong Xuanji explained to the Imperial Concubine, he didn't believe it.

Xuanyuan Jue's words made Murong Xuanji fall into deep thought, and for a moment she couldn't guess who was going to arrest Baoqing and what the purpose was. Just when everyone was in the middle of thinking, Xuanyuan Hao suddenly appeared.

"Why are you here?" Murong Xuanji blurted out a question.

"I see that you haven't gone back a little uneasy, and since Baoqing hasn't left the palace, then people should still be in this palace now, I think we should focus on the sleeping palace of the imperial concubine, but look around." Xuanyuan Hao calmly took out a map of the palace and spread it on the table.

Murong Xuanji and Xuanyuan Jue glanced at each other, walked over and looked at the map seriously. Although Concubine Huangxian, who gradually calmed down, was still angry with Xuanyuan Jue, she also knew that things were prioritized, and she knew that everyone was actively looking for Baoqing at this time, so she didn't say anything more, and looked at the map with everyone.

"Husband, did you think of something?" Seeing Xuanyuan Hao's calm appearance, Murong Xuanji guessed that he should have an idea, so he asked, "Have you guessed who captured Baoqing?" ”

Xuanyuan Hao shook his head and said calmly: "There are too many people in the palace, anyone is possible, but Baoqing has martial arts, and ordinary people are not her opponents, if someone wants to use martial arts to catch Baoqing, it is not an easy task, and it is impossible not to attract the attention of others, so the person who captured Baoqing must have used some disgraceful means to make Baoqing have no ability to fight back." ”

Xuanyuan Hao's words made everyone suddenly realize, and Murong Xuanji said with admiration: "Because I'm worried about Baoqing, I forgot to ignore these small details, you're right, the person who caught Baoqing must have used dishonorable means." ”
