Chapter 622: Murong Xuanji went to the Eastern Tang Kingdom
"It's not that exaggerated." Xuanyuan Hao looked at Murong Xuanji in surprise, and after seeing her expression, the look on his face slowly became solemn.
"The queen has begun to contact the ministers of the court because the fourth prince has returned, and the third prince has shown that he does not care about the world, but I heard that now he will enter the palace almost every day to stay in the house with the imperial concubine to discuss things, before the third prince did anything for the throne, do you think he will give up so easily now? There is also the Imperial Concubine, even if you believe that the Eighth Emperor has no intention of seizing the throne, but what about the Imperial Concubine? What she thinks is anyone's guess. Murong Xuanji thought about it one by one, and Xuanyuan Hao analyzed the current situation in the DPRK and China.
"Compared to the other princes who have their mothers and concubines to help, your power is a little weaker, although you have a father to help you, but since you were released, your father's power has been slowly hollowed out, I am afraid that your departure this time has given them a chance." Murong Xuanji said earnestly.
Xuanyuan Hao pursed his lips and was silent, until the carriage came to the gate of the mansion, and after the two returned to the mansion, he did not speak again, but locked himself in the study as soon as he entered the mansion.
"Nine Emperor Princesses!" Seeing Xuanyuan Hao like this, he looked at Murong Xuanji who was standing outside the study with a secret expression.
"Don't go in and disturb him, just stand guard at the door." Murong Xuanji explained the secret words, looked at the closed study door again, and Murong Xuanji turned around and left.
Until the next day, Murong Xuanji, who had not slept in the house all night, heard the sound of the door being pushed open, as well as the slight footsteps, she opened her eyes and sat up while lying on the bed, her eyes just met Xuanyuan Hao's gaze, and for a while time seemed to be still, and neither of them spoke.
"Did you get the noise? If you sleep for a while, I'll change my clothes and go to the palace. Xuanyuan Hao broke the silence first and walked behind the screen to prepare to change clothes.
"Husband." Murong Xuanji lifted the quilt and walked out of bed, and said to him through the screen: "You stay in the capital, let me go in the Eastern Tang Kingdom." ”
After a long time, Xuanyuan Hao, who had changed his clothes, walked out from behind the screen, looked at Murong Xuanji with a serious face and said, "No, I don't worry about letting you go alone." I thought about what you said last night and I'll be thinking about it. ”
Seeing Xuanyuan Hao preparing to make the room, Murong Xuanji immediately grabbed him to stop him from leaving. "You want to hear me. I won't tell anyone about this trip, I'll let Xuanque accompany me, I'll go and come back quickly, and I'll tell your uncle what you explained. ”
Finally hearing the meaning of Murong Xuanji's words, Xuanyuan Hao frowned and looked at her disapprovingly, "You want to secretly leave the capital and go to the Eastern Tang Kingdom?" ”
Murong Xuanji nodded, "I also thought about it all night, if I hurry up, it will only take three days to go back and forth at the earliest, so that you don't have to leave the capital, and what you want can be completed, isn't it killing two birds with one stone?" ”
Although Murong Xuanji's method is the best way at present, Xuanyuan Hao still disagrees with it, worrying that Murong Xuanji will be hard and dangerous.
has been with Xuanyuan Hao for so long, Murong Xuanji can guess the meaning of his expression and look.
She smiled and took Xuanyuan Hao's hand and asked him to sit down, and explained carefully: "Do you have anything to worry about me?" Ordinary people can't get close to me at all, not to mention that there are Xuanque on my side to protect me. ”
"Aren't you going to take Baoqing with you?" Xuanyuan Hao asked with some relief, "With Baoqing with you, you can also have more safety." ”
Murong Xuanji shook his head, "Baoqing can't leave. Everyone knows that Baoqing is the maid by my side, if I don't show up in a few days, and Baoqing will definitely arouse the suspicion of others, I want Baoqing to stay in the mansion as a cover, the Nine Emperor Princesses are sick and don't see guests, I don't think anyone will suspect it. ”
"So you've thought it all out." Xuanyuan Hao looked at Murong Xuanji with a complicated mood, and when he saw the determined expression on her face, he didn't know what to say.
"Of course, I'm so smart, what else are you worried about?" Murong Xuanji deliberately boasted and said, finally teasing Xuanyuan Hao, and continued: "It's not too early, you go to the palace, come back early after the next dynasty, and then we will discuss the matter." ”
Xuanyuan Hao nodded, although he still wanted to spend more time with Murong Xuanji, but if he didn't go out to the court, it would be too late.
On the hall in the morning, there are two people who have been absent-minded, one is Xuanyuan Jue, who has been upset since he separated from Baoqing before, it is good that Baoqing will be jealous, but if it endangers the relationship between the two, it is not the result that Xuanyuan Jue wants. The other person is Xuanyuan Hao, what Murong Xuanji said in the morning has been wandering in his mind, he has been thinking about whether there is any other better way to avoid Murong Xuanji personally taking risks, but after thinking about it, there seems to be no progress.
"Eighth Prince, Ninth Prince, what do you think of the idea of the Fourth Prince?" The emperor suddenly opened his mouth and asked Xuanyuan Jue and Xuanyuan Hao, but both of them were immersed in their own thoughts, and no one heard the emperor's question, "Eight princes, nine princes!" The emperor shouted a few times, but the two never responded, and the emperor's expression had become very ugly.
"Father, it seems that the idea of the sons and daughters is not good enough, so the Eighth Emperor Brother and the Ninth Emperor Brother will not express their position." Xuanyuan Qi said self-deprecatingly, such words couldn't help but not exonerate Xuanyuan Jue and Xuanyuan Hao, but made the emperor even more angry.
"The Eighth Prince, the Ninth Emperor." The emperor shouted angrily, and finally relieved the two of them, looking at the two of them as if they had just woken up from a dream, and asked angrily: "What do you think about so engrossedly, you haven't even heard my words." Or do you think that the early dynasty makes you feel very boring, so you don't take it seriously at all. ”
"Erchen doesn't dare." Xuanyuan Jue and Xuanyuan Hao immediately knelt down to deny it, the two secretly exchanged a look, Xuanyuan Hao immediately thought of an excuse and said: "Erchen didn't deliberately despise the early dynasty, but he has been in a little depressed recently, and he can't help but lose his mind thinking about some things." ”
"What is the important thing that can make my prince distracted in the early dynasty? Speak up and let me and the ministers listen to it. The emperor asked with some sarcasm.
"Next month is the death anniversary of Erchen's mother, and Erchen will always involuntarily think of the bits and pieces of being with his mother when he was a child, and he really wants to go to the Eastern Tang Kingdom on the day of his mother's death, and go to the place where his mother grew up to mourn." Xuanyuan Hao said with a sad face.
The emperor, who was originally angry, heard Xuanyuan Hao mention Huang Lifei, and his whole body trembled, if it wasn't for Xuanyuan Hao mentioning it, he almost forgot Huang Lifei's death taboo, and he couldn't help but blame himself in his heart, and his mood suddenly became low.
"It's your mother's death so soon, and it's been so many years in the blink of an eye." The emperor sighed and said, "You can still think about your mother, I feel very relieved to have this filial piety, and I can understand the mood, but if you want to mourn, you don't have to go so far to the Eastern Tang Kingdom, just go to your mother's palace to have a look, although your mother has been dead for so many years, but I have always ordered someone to keep the dormitory where she lived, and also ordered someone to clean it, and the inside is exactly the same as when your mother was still there." ”
"Yes!" Xuanyuan Hao had long guessed that the emperor would not easily agree to go to the Eastern Tang Kingdom, so when he heard the emperor's words, he obediently agreed.
Because Xuanyuan Hao suddenly mentioned Huang Lifei, the emperor's mood has not been very high, and he hastily returned to the dormitory after the early dynasty, but later Xuanyuan Hao heard that the emperor went to the imperial concubine's bedroom, which made Xuanyuan Hao's mood complicated.
"Nine Emperor Brothers." Remembering Murong Xuanji's explanation, Xuanyuan Hao, who was about to go back directly to the house after the next dynasty, was stopped by Xuanyuan Jue.
"Brother Eight Emperors, what are you looking for me?" Seeing Xuanyuan Jue's sad face, Xuanyuan Hao suddenly remembered that Murong Xuanji had mentioned him and Baoqing to himself before, and looked at Xuanyuan Jue with a good understanding and asked, "Are you doing it for Baoqing?" ”
Xuanyuan Jue nodded a little embarrassed, but now he was at a loss, although he didn't want to lose face in front of Xuanyuan Hao, but for the sake of Baoqing, he still lowered his posture.
"Let's take a step to talk." Xuanyuan Hao looked at the people passing by, pulled Xuanyuan Jue to a clearing and said earnestly: "There are some things that I know I shouldn't interfere with, but Baoqing is a person from my mansion, so if I offend the Eighth Emperor Brother in anything, please forgive me." ”
"You say!" Xuanyuan Jue nodded, asking Xuanyuan Hao to say what he wanted to say without hesitation.
"Actually, at the beginning, I knew that the matter between you and Baoqing was very opposed, because I knew very well the responsibilities and some involuntary responsibilities behind our identities, what kind of obstacles you encountered together, but then it was Xuanji's words that dispelled my thoughts, she said that if two people have a firm heart together, they can overcome any difficulties and obstacles." Xuanyuan Hao said with a serious face, "Baoqing has no experience in emotional matters, it can be said that you are the first man she likes to love, so any of your actions may hurt her." ”
Xuanyuan Jue listened to Xuanyuan Hao's words quietly, and a strong sense of self-blame arose in his heart.
Xuanyuan Hao sighed and said: "Actually, when I saw you go to the palace of the Imperial Concubine yesterday, I guessed that she would not just ask you for lunch, and I believe that you also know her intentions, if your attitude is wavering, it will only hurt the two girls." ”
"I see what you mean." Xuanyuan Jue seemed to have figured out something, the gaze in his eyes became more determined, and he also made a decision in his heart.
"It's best if you figure it out, I'll go home first, Xuanji is a little unwell, I'm going back to accompany her." Xuanyuan Hao also decided something in his heart, and no longer continued to accompany Xuanyuan Jue, and left the palace first.
Looking at Xuanyuan Hao who came back, from his expression Murong Xuanji could see that his expression at this time was completely different from the expression before leaving, and guessed that he had already made a decision, so he quietly waited for him to make a good decision.
"After the next dynasty, I talked to the Eighth Prince for a few words, and I think he should have made a decision about him and Baoqing. Originally, I wanted to talk to him more, but then I told him that you were a little uncomfortable, so I came back to accompany you first. Xuanyuan Hao's words made Murong Xuanji's eyes light up, and he looked at him in disbelief.
"Husband, did you promise me?" Murong Xuanji asked Xuanyuan Hao with some excitement, and when he saw him nodding gently, the big stone in his heart finally let go.
"Actually, I was still hesitating, but in the early dynasty, I told my father that next month is the death anniversary of my mother's concubine, and I want to go to the Eastern Tang Kingdom to mourn my mother, so my father was a little sad when he heard that my mother concubine, but he still didn't promise me to go to the Eastern Tang Kingdom, and at that time I already understood that I couldn't persuade my father to agree for any reason, so I could only ask you for help this time." Xuanyuan Hao looked at Murong Xuanji a little depressed.
