Chapter 563: Disappointed
Hearing Xuanyuan Hao's repeated disagreement with himself, the emperor had already dispelled the idea of lobbying him, and said with some disheart and firmness: "You are so smart, you don't know why I refused to let go of the Murong Mansion family, even if the person you like is Murong Xuanji, I will not open up because of you." ”
Hearing that the emperor was finally willing to tell the truth, Xuanyuan Hao was slightly angry in his heart, and asked the emperor angrily, "General Murong has never had two hearts for your father, and your contribution to the court should not be such a fate, and if your father is so treacherous, he will lose the hearts of all the people." ”
"I don't need you to hand it over to me what I do." The emperor was a little annoyed and angry by what Xuanyuan Hao said, and angrily grabbed a cup and threw it in front of Xuanyuan Hao, Xuanyuan Hao's instinctive reaction dodged the water cup, and saw the water cup broken in front of his eyes, a trace of warmth in his heart slowly cooled down, and he looked at the debris on the ground coldly.
After a long time, Xuanyuan Hao slowly raised his head, looked at him indifferently and said: "You are the emperor, above ten million people, you really don't need others to teach you how to do things, say more about having a father and having a son, the last thing a mother should do is to make me as stubborn as you, and no one can change what I decide." ”
After putting down his determination, Xuanyuan Hao left the emperor's bedroom without looking back, flew off the wall in the dark night, and soon left the palace, and saw the secret words waiting for him under a big tree in the distance.
"Master, are you alright?" The secret whisper saw that Xuanyuan Hao's expression was a little wrong, and the smart one didn't ask more.
"Let's go back to Murong Mansion now." Xuanyuan Hao said in a cold tone, jumped on the horse, and immediately galloped towards Murong Mansion.
Murong Xuanji got up again not long after lying down on the bed, and walked out of the house from time to time to take a look, thinking about Xuanyuan Hao in his heart, but except for a bright moon in the sky accompanying him, he never saw Xuanyuan Hao's figure.
"Miss, you go back to the house to rest first, it's windy at night." Baoqing picked up a cloak and put it on Murong Xuanji, "I will stay in the front hall and wait, and I will tell you as soon as the master returns." ”
"I can't sleep." Murong Xuanji shook his head and said. Her heart was very chaotic at this time, on the one hand, she was worried about Xuanyuan Hao, hoping that he could come back safely, and on the other hand, she was also worried about her relatives, after hearing Xuanyuan Hao and Leng Fengran's analysis when she was in the other courtyard before, Murong Xuanji was ready, the emperor would not let go of his family easily, and now she was also worried about her family who was suffering from prison in prison.
As he was talking, he saw someone walking towards him from a distance, because it was too dark, Murong Xuanji couldn't see the appearance of the person who came, but from the way he walked, he could see that he was not a bad person. It wasn't until the man approached that Murong Xuanji saw the person's appearance clearly, and immediately ran towards Xuanyuan Hao.
"You're finally back." Murong Xuanji hugged Xuanyuan Hao tightly, held back the excitement in his heart and said with a smile.
"I'm back." Xuanyuan Hao hugged Murong Xuanji, then let go of her, and saw that although she was wearing a cloak, the clothes inside were very thin, and said a little seriously: "Why don't you wear more clothes, what should I do if I get sick?" ”
"It's okay, I'm not cold." Although Xuanyuan Hao's expression was a little serious, Murong Xuanji still heard the concern in his tone, shook his head with a smile, and walked towards the house, while instructing Baoqing to say, "Take the things I asked you to prepare into the room." ”
"Yes!" Seeing Xuanyuan Hao come back safely, although Baoqing didn't show it on his face, he was very happy in his heart. Immediately nodded and walked briskly towards the kitchen, and soon walked into the room with hot porridge, put it on the table, and said uncharacteristically: "Master, these are all specially prepared for you by Miss Miss." ”
"Baoqing, mouthy!" Murong Xuanji scolded Baoqing a little shyly, "It's not too early, you and the code words should go back and rest." ”
"Yes!" Baoqing and Secret Whisper agreed in unison, and soon the two disappeared into the house.
"Eat some hot porridge to warm up." Murong Xuanji took the bowl out of the tray and put it in front of Xuanyuan Hao, although she wanted to ask him about entering the palace, but she still held back.
Xuanyuan Hao tasted a mouthful of porridge, raised his head and saw that Murong Xuanji had been looking at herself, although she didn't speak, but Xuanyuan Hao still saw all kinds of questions in her heart from her eyes, so he put down the spoon, looked at her seriously and said frankly: "I'm sorry, my father still refuses to let General Murong go." ”
Although she was already mentally prepared, hearing Xuanyuan Hao say this, Murong Xuanji's face couldn't help but be disappointed, and she silently lowered her head so that people couldn't see how she was feeling at this time.
"Don't worry, even if my father doesn't agree to release them, I will still come up with other ways to rescue your father and your brother." Xuanyuan Hao said apologetically to Murong Xuanji.
Although Murong Xuanji wanted to believe in Xuanyuan Hao as before, but this time it was the emperor who had the intention to target the Murong family, if Xuanyuan Hao was bound to oppose the emperor for the sake of his family, her heart was very entangled and contradictory at this time.
"What are you going to do?" Murong Xuanji looked at Xuanyuan Hao with a worried face and asked, "You have been in the palace for so long, hasn't the emperor said anything else?" ”
Xuanyuan Hao didn't expect Murong Xuanji to suddenly say this, his eyes couldn't help flashing, he felt that there was no need to let Murong Xuanji know about the emperor asking him to marry Qi Fangfei, now she was worried about her family, she didn't have to increase her troubles, and in this situation, if she told her about it, her self-esteem was so strong, and she and Qi Fangfei had always had an unbreakable knot, and she didn't know what she would do.
"What are you thinking?" Xuanyuan Hao's strange expression did not avoid Murong Xuanji's gaze, she always felt that Xuanyuan Hao was hiding something from her.
"It's okay, I was just thinking about how to save people." Xuanyuan Hao immediately calmed down and said an excuse that was not flawed, "The reason why my father refused to release people is similar to what we guessed before, it can't be that he is afraid of the power of Murong Mansion in the court, and he is worried about his high merits. ”
"But my father has never had a different heart, and he is really a companion like a tiger." Murong Xuanji said with some sarcasm, and a trace of fierce light flashed in his eyes.
Murong Xuanji's ridicule made Xuanyuan Hao speechless, even he himself couldn't accept the emperor's approach, how could he persuade others to understand.
Murong Xuanji sighed deeply, it was in vain to worry about the matter so far, it was better to find a way to rescue Murong He and them.
"What are you going to do next?" Murong Xuanji opened his mouth again and asked Xuanyuan Hao's next plan, "Since the emperor has the intention to embarrass them, it is not easy to rescue them. ”
Xuanyuan Hao thought silently for a while before he spoke: "Since I have entered the palace tonight and appeared in front of my father, I believe that it will not be long before the news that I am alive will spread in the capital, rather than letting others spread it, it is better to show it while Xuanyuan Mo does not know, let him know that we are still alive, but there is a period of time that can catch him off guard." ”
"Even if the third prince knows that we are still alive, at most it can make him restrain some arrogance, but it will not solve the key problem." Murong Xuanji thought about it a lot, and felt that things were not as simple as Xuanyuan Hao thought.
"That's enough." A glimmer of light flashed in Xuanyuan Hao's eyes, and he said with a sneer: "Father will put your family in prison this time, if he didn't see the right time, he wouldn't do it, and this opportunity is indeed caused by Xuanyuan Mo, once Xuanyuan Mo loses the ability to target General Murong, Father is like losing his right-hand man, and it will be much easier for them to rescue General Murong at that time." ”
Murong Xuanji calmly thought about Xuanyuan Hao's words, although it sounded a little reasonable, but she still felt that Xuanyuan Hao was thinking about the question too simply, but she didn't ask out loud, but had a plan in her heart.
Xuanyuan Hao could also see from Murong Xuanji's hesitant expression that he was skeptical of his thoughts, knowing that it was a little difficult to make her believe in himself now, he didn't say anything to guarantee anything, and decided to use practical actions to make her believe in himself.
The night slowly sank, and the sky became cooler after the night, but Murong Mansion didn't want to fall into calm like before, Xuanyuan Hao and Murong Xuanji got up early, and the two of them almost slept until dawn.
"I'll go meet the eldest lady and the second mother first, you can go to the practice room in the backyard to exercise, and I'll let someone inform you when the breakfast is ready." Murong Xuanji sighed slightly and walked out of the room.
Looking at Murong Xuanji, who was suddenly a little estranged from him, Xuanyuan Hao felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he couldn't blame Murong Xuanji, just a helpless grandmother walked to the practice room in the backyard and found that there were already people there.
"Nine Emperor Princes!" Hearing the sound of the door opening, Leng Fengran stopped his movements and turned to look, seeing Xuanyuan Hao's sad face, as if he had something on his mind, Leng Fengran didn't ask much, took a sword and threw a spear to Xuanyuan Hao, and then stabbed Xuanyuan Hao with a sword.
Xuanyuan Hao subconsciously held the spear, and before he could understand it, he saw Leng Fengran coming towards him with a sword, instinctively guarding against his attack, and seeing Leng Fengran attacking again, he immediately blocked it again. The two went back and forth, both immersed in the competition.
After a long time, the two of them were tired and lying on the ground panting, Xuanyuan Hao was in a much better mood because of exercise, sat up from the ground and looked at Leng Fengran on the side and said: "After I met my father last night, I am even more sure that it will become more difficult to rescue General Murong. ”
Leng Fengran also sat up from the ground, looked at Xuanyuan Hao with a serious face and said affirmatively: "Even if the emperor refuses to release people, you will insist on rescuing people, right?" No matter how difficult it is, as long as we are determined, we will be able to save people. ”
Xuanyuan Hao nodded, and said with some words, "Xuanji has always been worried about General Murong, so the pressure is relatively high, I am careful that it is not good for her to push herself too hard." ”
"So the most important thing for us now is to figure out how to get people out." Leng Fengran jumped up and stood up from the ground, stretched out his hand towards Xuanyuan Hao, pulled Xuanyuan Hao up from the ground, and said confidently: "You are the invincible Nine Emperor Princes, how could you be easily defeated because of such a small matter?" ”
Xuanyuan Hao smiled bitterly, and said with some self-deprecation: "In front of Xuanji, I, the invincible Nine Emperor Prince, also have times when I am helpless. ”
Seeing that Xuanyuan Hao, who had always been full of confidence, was also embarrassed, Leng Fengran sighed silently in his heart and said, "You don't have to worry too much, I'll ask Ling'er to accompany Xuanji more to distract her when I go back." ”
Xuanyuan Hao thought for a while, felt that this was not bad, nodded and said gratefully: "Okay, thank you." ”
Leng Fengran said with a smile: "There is no need to say thank you between us. Xuanji is also a friend of mine, and I hope she doesn't put too much pressure on herself. ”
The two had been chatting in the practice room, and really Murong Xuanji sent someone to find them and let them go to the dining room to eat, and the two of them left.
