Murong Xuanji hesitated at the door of the study for a long time, she had been immersed in her own thoughts, she didn't notice that the door of the study was opened, Murong Xilang walked out of it, and was very surprised to see Murong Xuanji standing outside the door.

"Xuanji, why are you here? Did you come to me? Murong Xilang asked suspiciously, interrupting Murong Xuanji's contemplation.

Murong Xuanji nodded and said softly, "Let's go in and talk." Murong Xuanji bypassed Murong Xilang, walked into the study from in front of him, and sat down on a chair.

"What's the matter?" Seeing Murong Xuanji's solemn expression, Murong Xilang closed the door and walked in, sat down on the chair opposite her, and his expression became serious, "I heard that you went out this morning, where did you go?" ”

"I'm going to the palace." Murong Xuanji raised her head and looked at Murong Xilang, her expression was vague, making it impossible to guess her thoughts. "The person who sent the killer is not the queen, but the grandmother next to the queen. And the queen shouldn't know about this yet. ”

"How do you know?" A hint of surprise flashed in Murong Xilang's eyes, but he quickly asked Murong Xuanji calmly, "Mama is the person next to the queen, if there is no order from the queen, why should she be unfavorable to the Nine Emperors?" It doesn't do her any good. Unless the person who instructed her was someone else? Murong Xilang looked at Murong Xuanji's calm expression and guessed that she was thinking the same way.

Murong Xuanji nodded calmly, stood up and walked to the edge of the desk, looking at the pure white letter paper on the table, his fingers lightly swiped over the letter, his eyes exuded a fierce gaze, and after a long while, he turned to look at Murong Xilang and said, "Big brother, we ignored one person." ”

"Who?" Murong Xilang looked at Murong Xuanji in confusion, and quickly thought about those suspicious people in her mind, but she still couldn't guess who the suspicious person in her mouth was.

"The Fourth Prince, Xuanyuan Qi." Murong Xuanji spit out these five words lightly, seeing the surprise and half-belief on Murong Xilang's face, knowing that without evidence, it was difficult for him to believe that Xuanyuan Qi, who had always been gentle and kind, and had no quarrel with the world, would have such a ruthless heart.

"Is that him? How can it be? Murong Xilang really looked at Murong Xuanji suspiciously, "Is this possible?" Not to mention the days when the fourth prince was exiled, even when he was in the capital before, he just stayed in his own mansion to raise some flowers and plants, and did not contact outsiders, no matter how you look at it, he is not like the kind of person you say. ”

"I just suspect it, there is no evidence, now that the secret word has followed the eighth prince to the field, it is inconvenient for Baoqing to leave me, so I hope the eldest brother can help me investigate, since the fourth prince returned to Beijing, I think he has become different from before, unpredictable." Murong Xuanji sincerely asked Murong Xilang.

"I will." Although there are some people who don't believe that Xuanyuan Qi will be a man with a deep heart in Murong Xuan's mouth, it is indispensable to guard against people, and it is understandable that he can feel at ease after investigating. "Do you want to tell my dad about this?"

"Not yet." Murong Xuanji blurted out, seeing Murong Xilang's puzzled gaze, he opened his mouth to explain: "I was originally going to tell my father, but my father is not at home, after you told my eldest brother, I don't think there is any need for too many people to know about this matter, and whether the fourth prince sent someone to hunt down and kill her husband, I just suspect it, there is no evidence, I want to wait until the matter is confirmed before telling my father." ”

Murong Xilang nodded, didn't ask too much, and saw that Murong Xuanji was thinking about things in a daze, and was a little curious in his heart, but he still didn't say anything.

At dinner in the evening, Murong Xuanji did not come out to dine with everyone, which made Murong He a little worried, so he came to visit her before eating, but saw her alone in the courtyard, looking at her lonely figure, Murong He's heart was a little reluctant.

"Dad, why are you here?" Murong Xuanji found Murong He behind him after realizing it, and smiled lightly, but there was a faint sadness in Murong He's eyes.

"What's wrong? Are you thinking about the Nine Emperors? There are the Eighth Princes and your third brother, they are all looking for the Nine Princes, and they will definitely find people. Murong He opened his mouth to comfort her.

"If it weren't for the fetus in my womb, I really wanted to go to my husband immediately." Murong Xuanji touched her stomach and said lonely: "I really don't know if this child is coming, is it time?" ”

"Silly boy, how can you say such a thing, although he is still in your belly, but you can still hear us talking, if you hear you say such a thing, he will be very sad, don't say such things in the future." Murong He said seriously: "You can stay in the mansion with peace of mind, and once there is news of the Nine Emperor Princes, someone will notify us immediately." ”

"Every day in the house is like a torment, every time I close it, I dream that something happened to my husband, I'm really scared, in front of people, I have to pretend to be nothing, but I'm really not as strong as you seem." Murong Xuanji said with a little choked up.

This kind of Murong Xuanji made Murong He even more distressed, and any words of comfort seemed so pale and powerless, so he had to take her into his arms in distress.

"Childe, drink the medicine." A delicate girl lifted the curtain and walked in, put the medicine in front of Xuanyuan Hao, reached out and stroked his forehead, and said happily: "Great, you finally don't have a fever, just drink these medicines quickly." ”

"I don't want to drink." Xuanyuan Hao glanced at the black medicine in the bowl, and said with disgust: "Qin'er, what are you giving me to drink all day, how do I feel groggy all day long, and my body has no strength at all." ”

"It's the medicine prescribed by the doctor, the doctor said that you have been floating in the river for too long, and your body is very tired, so you will feel poor in energy and groggy all day." Qin'er explained with a smile, pushed the medicine in the bowl in front of Xuanyuan Hao and said, "Hurry up and drink the medicine, so that you can recover soon." ”

"Do you really want to drink?" The disgust in Xuanyuan Hao's eyes was so clearly visible, seeing Qin'er nodding firmly, he finally reluctantly drank the medicine in one gulp, then wiped his mouth vigorously, frowned and said, "I don't want to drink such a bad medicine anymore, don't get it again tomorrow." ”

"Ah Shui, this is also for your own good, last time you had an accident, you were thrown into the river, and you almost died, fortunately I rescued you in time, but you have amnesia, the doctor said that you have to continue to drink these medicines to recover." Qin'er patiently coaxed Xuanyuan Hao, "You are resting for a while, I am going to the mountains to collect some medicine and come back." ”

"I've rested enough, I'll go with you." Xuanyuan Hao immediately got out of bed and wanted to go out with Qin'er.

"No, no." Qin'er blurted out a refusal, and when she saw Xuanyuan Hao's surprised and puzzled gaze, she immediately refused with a far-fetched smile, "It's too tiring to go up the mountain, your body hasn't completely healed, you just stay at home and watch the house, and I'll be back soon." ”

"But I-" Xuanyuan Hao was about to say something more, but was interrupted by Qin'er.

"Don't you listen to me? How about you rest at home today, and when you get better in a few days, I'll take you up the mountain with you? Qin'er said softly and hardly, and finally made Xuanyuan Hao reluctantly nod in agreement.

Qin'er left the house with a bamboo basket on her back smiling and waving her hand to Xuanyuan Hao, and as soon as she walked to the foot of the mountain, she saw a group of strangers looking for someone, Qin'er chuckled in her heart, lowered her head and wanted to walk over slowly.

"Sorry excuse me, have you seen this person?" Xuanyuan Jue was dressed very civilian, and stopped Qin'er with Xuanyuan Hao's portrait and asked.

"No, no. I haven't met this person. Qin'er kept her head down and said, "I'm sorry, I still have something." Qin'er bypassed Xuanyuan Jue and strode towards the mountain.

Xuanyuan Jue looked at Qin'er in a hurry, and had some doubts in her heart, when she showed her the portrait just now, she didn't even look at it and said that she hadn't seen the person in the portrait, which was too suspicious.

"Come here." Xuanyuan Jue called his entourage and explained in a low voice: "You go and follow that woman, investigate the details of that woman, where the family lives, and who else is in the family, you have to find out one by one." ”

"Yes!" The attendant nodded, and quietly followed Qin'er towards the mountain, while Xuanyuan Jue looked at Qin'er meaningfully, and then continued to look for people one by one with the portraits.

When Qin'er went down the mountain and was about to go home, she always felt that someone was following her, but many times when she looked back, there was no one behind her, which made Qin'er a little uneasy, thinking that it was her suspicion, so she quickened her pace and wanted to go home quickly.

"Qin'er!" Suddenly a sound startled Qin'er, Xuanyuan Hao walked out of the darkness, saw the frightened Qin'er, and said apologetically: "Did I scare you?" I'm sorry, I just saw that you haven't come back after dark, and I thought about coming out to find you with some anxiety, but I didn't expect to scare you. ”

"It's okay, it's okay!" Qin'er slowly calmed down, shook her head with a smile and said, "I'm fine, I didn't expect you to come out to find me, thank you, and let's go back quickly." Although she has never found the person who is following her, Qin'er's heart has always felt uneasy, worried that Xuanyuan Hao will be found and taken away, and she is anxious to take him back quickly.

"Now that we're out, let's take a walk." Xuanyuan Hao didn't notice the complicated emotions in Qin'er's heart, and smiled and wanted to take Qin'er for a walk.

"Don't!" Qin'er blurted out the rejection of Xuanyuan Hao, and broke free of Xuanyuan Hao's hand without thinking, seeing Xuanyuan Hao's surprised gaze, she immediately smiled awkwardly and said: "I'm just a little tired from going up the mountain to collect medicine, I want to go back to rest early, let's go back, okay?" ”

"Okay, you can carry the basket for me." Xuanyuan Hao smiled gently, took down the back basket on Qin'er's body, pulled the back basket with one hand, and walked towards home with Qin'er's hand with the other.

"Ah Shui, the day I rescued you from the river, you knew that I was a fatherless and motherless child, and I only have you as a relative in this world, so you must not leave me." When she returned home, Qin'er was always panicked, and said to Xuanyuan Hao seriously.

"Don't worry, when I get better, I will definitely marry you and be my wife." Xuanyuan Hao took Qin'er's hand and reassured him repeatedly. "I won't let you suffer anymore, I will definitely make you happy."

"Good!" With Xuanyuan Hao's assurance, Qin'er's uneasiness slowly dissipated a little, but thinking of those people during the day, her heart began to be anxious again, and she didn't know how to hide Xuanyuan Hao from those people.

"By the way, when I went out today, I heard people in the village say that it seems that people from outside are looking for people here, and I don't know what kind of people to look for." Xuanyuan Hao poured a glass of water for Qin'er, but seeing her pale face, he asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?" You okay? ”

"No, it's fine!" Qin'er shook her head, picked up the cup with both hands and slowly put it to her lips, suddenly took off the quilt and asked excitedly, "Have you seen those people?" ”

"Nope. When I came out, they were gone. Do you know who they're looking for? Xuanyuan Hao asked curiously, and Qin'er panicked because of Xuanyuan Hao's question, her hand shook, and all the water in the cup spilled.
