Hearing that Murong Xuanji's family would be in danger, Leng Fengran also frowned with a serious face, and said with some uncertainty: "The general's prestige in the court is unrivaled, and he has also won the trust of the emperor, and the three sons in the palace also hold important positions in the court, it should not be so easy to deal with the general's mansion." ”

"I hope so." Xuanyuan Hao shook his head uncertainly, "I have already asked the Secret Whisper to send people to lurk back to the capital, once there is something in the Great General's Mansion, I can also get the news as soon as possible." ”

"If you need help with anything, just ask, although my ability can't reach the palace, I can still help." Leng Fengran said very righteously.

"I know." Xuanyuan Hao's serious expression suddenly smiled, and he said with some understanding: "I know that you have been entrusted by Murong Xijun to stay here and not leave, and he asked people to stay here to protect me and Xuanji before leaving, I will remember all this, and he will definitely repay it in the future." ”

"There's no need to repay it. Ling'er is the best reward you and Xuanji have given me. Although he was a little embarrassed, Leng Fengran still said calmly, and the happy smile on his face could not be hidden.

"Seeing that you and Miss Lan can have a good result, Xuanji and I are very happy, fortunately, it didn't take too long for you to understand your sincerity, and you didn't let Miss Lan wait too long, and now this happy ending is something that everyone is happy to see." Xuanyuan Hao smiled slightly, and said a little jokingly: "If you don't reconcile with Miss Lan, it should be me who has a headache, Xuanji is worried about your affairs, and now she can finally put her mind at ease." ”

Although he knew that Xuanyuan Hao was joking with himself, Leng Fengran became a little unnatural again when he heard such ridicule, and said with an embarrassed smile: "I worry about you." ”

"We are all good friends, and we are happy to see you happy." Xuanyuan Hao shook his head and said with a smile.

Xuanyuan Hao and Murong Xuanji lived in another courtyard, although they knew that Xuanyuan Mo began to move frequently in the capital, and Xuanyuan Hao was also worried that he would be unfavorable to the General's Mansion, but he didn't expect such a thing to come so quickly, so suddenly, it was a little unprepared.

"Is there anything unusual in the Great General's Mansion today?" Xuanyuan Mo, who had just returned from the palace, immediately asked his henchmen as soon as he walked into the study, "The general didn't go to court today, is he really sick?" ”

The henchman replied with a serious face: "I'm not sure yet, but the spies who monitored the General's Mansion reported that the General had been staying in the Mansion today, and several ministers in the court were also turned away when they came to see him, and the three sons in the palace also returned to the mansion immediately after leaving the court, and did not stay outside." ”

Xuanyuan Mo frowned a little unhappily, he was not very satisfied with his henchman's answer, but he did not reprimand, but sat on the chair and thought thoughtfully for a while before asking: "I asked you to send out to find the whereabouts of the bodies of the Nine Emperor Princes and the Nine Emperor Princesses, and now they can be found." ”

"The humble position has sent a team of elite soldiers out to search, and there is no clue to the whereabouts of the Nine Emperor Princes and the Nine Emperor Princesses, but the subordinates found that the people from the Great General's Mansion are also sending people to continue the search." Seeing that Xuanyuan Mo was a little displeased, the henchman replied more cautiously.

"It seems that the general is really old, and the pain of losing his son can make him sick, and he can't even go to the early court." Xuanyuan Mo said with some schadenfreude, even more convinced in his heart that Xuanyuan Hao and Murong Xuanji were really dead, and Qi Fangfei suspected that the two were still alive It was completely suspicious, but since she helped herself deal with Xuanyuan Che and the queen, even if she dealt with Qi Fangfei, Xuanyuan Mo still let people continue to look for it.

"Master, do you want to continue to visit the general?" Seeing that Xuanyuan Mo's mood had improved slightly, the henchman asked cautiously tentatively: "The eldest prince has been imprisoned, and the ministers who wavered before are now all optimistic that you are a candidate for the throne, and your voice among the princes is the highest, even if there is less support from the Great General's Mansion, it will not affect your seizure of the throne." ”

Xuanyuan Mo glanced at his henchman contemptuously, and was a little disdainful of his short-sightedness, "The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, even if the general is old, but his prestige in the court, his father's trust in him, and the military power in his hands are not to be underestimated, even if there are ten ministers in the court, my support for me is not as good as his few words in front of my father, and getting his support is the most favorable guarantee for getting the throne." ”

"But the general has repeatedly refused to meet the master, it seems that he really doesn't know what to do, what is the master going to do?" The henchman was a little curious about Xuanyuan Mo's next move, "Do you want to find some people to warn some of the Great General's Mansion?" ”

"Don't be impulsive just yet." Xuanyuan Mo didn't want to stop it, "Although the general has been closing the door to thank customers, but now is not the time to fight with him, just wait for a few days, if he still doesn't know what to do and refuses to help me, it will not be too late to deal with him then." ”

"Humble duty understood." The henchman nodded, seeing that Xuanyuan Mo did not have any explanation, so he withdrew from the study.

Xuanyuan Mo stayed quietly in the study alone and thought, although now Xuanyuan Che was put in prison and the queen was under house arrest, but he knew that as long as they did not disintegrate their forces for a day, one day Xuanyuan Che and the queen would definitely make a comeback, and it would be even more difficult to deal with them again.

Xuanyuan Mo really wanted to get the support and help of Murong He and the entire Great General's Mansion, but Murong He's repeated avoidance of meeting made Xuanyuan Mo gradually begin to lose patience, and when the day of patience with the chime, Xuanyuan Mo would definitely deal with the entire General's Mansion ruthlessly.

At noon, Xuanyuan Mo walked out of the study, planning to go back to the house to rest, but he didn't expect to be stopped by Chu Wanwan in the garden.

"What's the matter?" Xuanyuan Mo was a little unhappy when he saw Chu Wanwan who suddenly appeared, but when he thought that he couldn't offend her at this time, he endured the displeasure in his heart and asked, "At this time, you are no longer in the room to rest, is there anything wrong with coming to me?" ”

"Can't I come to you if it's okay?" Chu Wanwan's expression was also a little displeased, but seeing that Xuanyuan Mo was a little tired, and he had been vowing to get his heart before, he took a deep breath and held back his temper and said with a reluctant smile: "I overheard your subordinates say that you are still looking for the whereabouts of Xuanyuan Hao and Murong Xuanji, aren't they already dead?" Are you still looking for them? ”

"After all, the Nine Emperor Sons are my half-brother, his mother died early, and now my father is also sick, I think finding their corpses can put them in the ground, and they don't have to be lonely ghosts, and it is the last thing that my imperial brother can do for them." Xuanyuan Mo found a high-sounding reason to prevaricate Chu Wanwan, but he didn't expect Chu Wanwan to believe it like this.

"Have you found it now?" Chu Wanwan asked a little tentatively. When she hadn't heard about the death of Xuanyuan Hao and Murong Xuanji before, Chu Wanwan's heart had been uneasy, and she was worried that Murong Xuanji would come back one day to tell the truth, and then after hearing that they had all died in death, her heart gradually let go.

Later, when she heard that Xuanyuan Mo had sent people to look for them, Chu Wanwan became uneasy again, but now after listening to Xuanyuan Mo's explanation, she realized that she was a false alarm.

"If I find someone, I won't be in the palace now, but I will immediately enter the palace to show my father." Xuanyuan Mo said with some sarcasm, facing Chu Wanwan's series of questions, he was about to lose his patience.

Chu Wanwan is also a smart person, seeing Xuanyuan Mo's impatient appearance, he stopped pestering him with interest, and said with a gentle smile: "I know you've been busy lately, but don't forget to rest no matter how busy you are." I won't bother you, I'll go back to the house first. ”

Xuanyuan Mo just nodded, and only after seeing Qi Fangfei walking away did he turn around and walk towards his room.

"Dad, are you looking for us?" The three sons of the Murong family walked into the study and closed the door, standing side by side in front of Murong He.

"I just received a letter from the Nine Emperor Princes, and they are all right in the other courtyard." Murong He first said what everyone was very concerned about, and seeing that everyone couldn't help but relax a little, he continued to speak: "The Nine Emperor Princes expressed their concern about the frequent movements of the Third Prince. ”

"Worried about what?" Murong Xijun blurted out and asked, "Even if the third prince has the support of the entire government and the opposition, the emperor will not necessarily pass the throne to him. ”

"This is exactly what the Nine Emperor Princes are worried about." Murong He said with a solemn expression, "In his letter, he said that the third prince is insidious, and he wants to get my support, but he has been closed several times, worried that his loss of patience will be detrimental to us. ”

"Afraid of what? He's just a prince, so our Murong Mansion won't be afraid of him, right? Murong Xijun didn't take Xuanyuan Hao's reminder to heart at all, he thought that it was impossible for Xuanyuan Mo, a small prince, to deal with the entire General's Mansion.

"Hee-joon!" Seeing Murong Xijun's attitude of contemptuous of the enemy, Murong Xilang shouted at him with some displeasure, and said with a serious face: "The Nine Emperors' worries are not unreasonable. Once the third prince can't get the support of our General's Mansion, then what he can't get would rather be destroyed than allowed to be obtained by others, so it is not impossible for him to deal with the General's Mansion. ”

Murong Xijie nodded approvingly and said, "I have witnessed his ferocity with my own eyes. Many years ago, the imperial concubine gave him a horse on his birthday, but he didn't expect that the horse was not completely tamed, so many times the three princes fell off the horse, and then once I saw him fall off the horse, he did not ride the horse again, but ordered someone to tie the horse, and he took out a sharp dagger from his boots and slashed directly through the horse's neck, and stabbed into the horse's body again and again. In order to convince everyone of Xuanyuan Mo's ferocity, Murong Xijie talked about an incident many years ago, and this incident really made everyone fall into silence.

"But it's easy to dodge with open guns, but it's hard to defend against hidden arrows, and if the third prince really wants to deal with us, we can't defend against it." Murong Xijun said a little helplessly: "Besides, now my father has not been to the early dynasty for a long time, and our three brothers have also returned to the house after the next dynasty, so they are already much more low-key." ”

"This is just a guess by the Nine Emperors, as for what the Three Princes will do, none of us know." Murong He raised his hand and quieted everyone down before he continued: "In short, everyone be careful, especially you, Xijun, you have a hot temper and are easy to be impulsive, if the third prince wants to deal with us, the first one is you." ”

"Got it, Dad, I'll be careful." Murong Xijun was criticized by Murong He and didn't dare to refute it, but just nodded quietly and said.

"Xilang, you are working in the palace, there is no problem with the emperor." Murong He looked at Murong Xilang, "The Nine Emperor Princes said that it will take a while to appear, so it may make the Emperor sad for a while." ”

"The emperor's mood and health are already better than before, and he has already begun to deal with some political affairs today." Murong Xilang replied with a serious face, "But whether the emperor will appoint a crown prince or not, whether he doesn't know or turns a blind eye to the three princes' frequent contact with the ministers of the court and the central government, it's hard to say now." ”

"The activities of the three princes are so frequent, it is unlikely that the emperor does not know at all, the only thing that can be explained is that the emperor already has an idea in his heart, as for what the idea is, no one can guess." Murong He said clearly, "It's just a matter of time. ”

"Where are you going?" One morning when the weather was fine, Chu Wanwan came out for a walk, and saw that Xuanyuan Mo was preparing to leave the house, so he stepped forward and asked with concern: "Didn't you just go down to the court and return home?" Do you want to go out? ”

"I'm going to the General's Mansion." Xuanyuan Mo glanced at Chu Wanwan and walked straight out of the mansion.

Seeing Xuanyuan Mo's indifferent attitude, Chu Wanwan stomped her feet angrily, wanting to attack, but Xuanyuan Mo had already gone away, leaving the anger in her heart nowhere to go.

"Third prince, please go back!" Seeing Xuanyuan Mo visiting again, the guards at the gate of the General's Mansion had already become accustomed to it, and calmly persuaded him to leave.

"I want to see the General!" Xuanyuan Mo said expressionlessly, he has been rejected several times, he has gradually lost his patience, if he is rejected by the general again this time, then he will not come again, and then he will have other plans.

"But—" The guard tried to refuse, but was interrupted by Xuanyuan Mo.

"If you spread the word today, you will say that I, Xuanyuan Mo, want to see the general." The expression on Xuanyuan Mo's face was a little gloomy, so that the guards didn't dare to refuse, so they had to nod and run in to pass the word.

"This third prince, why is he so stubborn, he knows that the master is not a guest, but he still comes several times, and you go to refuse him, just say that the general is not a guest." Li Miaoxin said with some displeasure.

"Wait a minute." Murong He walked out of the back hall, thought about it on the chair for a while, and said to the guards at the door: "You take the third prince to the study, and I will arrive later." ”

The guards did not dare to delay, and immediately went to deliver the message. Li Miaoxin, who was left behind, looked at Murong He with some puzzlement, not understanding why he had been refusing to see the third prince before, why he would discuss him this time.

"You're trying to ask why I'm meeting the Third Prince, right?" Without waiting for Li Miaoxin to ask, Murong He looked at her with a smile, and kindly explained: "The third prince's stubborn personality is beyond my imagination, and my repeated rejection of him does not seem to dispel his persistence, but instead comes to visit again and again, since others are stubborn, then I will spread out the words directly today, I believe that he will not come to the General's Mansion next time." ”

"Do you know what he's coming to you for?" Li Miaoxin blurted out a question, and after asking, he found that his question was a bit excessive, so he stopped talking.

"The activities of the three princes in the capital are so frequent and the purpose is so obvious, how could I not know it." Murong He said indifferently, "But I have no intention of participating in the battle between him and the Great Prince, the Nine Emperor Princes are my son-in-law and the person I need help." ”

Li Miaoxin sighed slightly, and stopped talking a little, and only said after a long time: "Then you go, don't let the third prince wait." ”

Murong He nodded, got up and walked towards the study, and when he came to the study, Xuanyuan Mo was already waiting inside.

"General!" Seeing Murong He walk in, Xuanyuan Mo immediately put down the cup of tea and got up to greet him. His eyes couldn't help but look at Murong He's appearance, although his complexion was a little bad, but his spirit was not bad.

"The Third Prince, please take a seat." Murong He nodded, and after sitting down on the chair with Xuanyuan Mo, he deliberately pretended to be stupid and asked, "I don't know what happened to the third prince coming to my mansion today?" I heard from people before that the three princes had come many times, but the old man was in a heavy mood and was really unable to meet guests, so I hope the three princes will forgive me. Murong He's words explained the reason why he hadn't seen the guest before, making Xuanyuan Mo have no thorns to pick.

"The matter of the Nine Emperor Princes and the Nine Emperor Concubines is indeed sad, and I can understand the feelings of the general." Xuanyuan Mo said politely, but the conversation suddenly changed, and immediately brought the topic to the purpose of coming here today, "But I came to the general today because I want to ask the general for help." ”
