Chapter 626: Murong Xuanji helps quell the chaos
Suddenly, she saw an old man walking in front of Murong Xuanji with fishing gear, and soon disappeared in front of her eyes, although it was only a moment, but Murong Xuanji was already very sure that the old man was the person he was looking for, so he immediately led his horse and ran over to look for it, and finally found the old man by the river.
Murong Xuanji looked behind the old man for a long time before asking, "May I ask if you are the general of the Zhenguo Kingdom?" ”
When the old man heard the voice, his hand holding the fishing rod shook, but unfortunately Murong Xuanji didn't see it.
"You recognized the wrong person, there is no general here." The old man didn't look back at Murong Xuanji, and still sat by the river and fished quietly.
Murong Xuanji, who was still a little uncertain, heard the old man's voice like a bell, smiled knowingly, walked to his side and sat down, looked at the rippling river and said with a smile: "I'm sorry to disturb the general's Yaxing, but now the situation in the capital is critical, and the emperor is in danger, and I hope that the general can temporarily leave the tranquility here and lead the troops into Beijing to rescue him." ”
Murong Xuanji's words finally made the old man no longer indifferent, and he turned his head to look at Murong Xuanji who was dressed as a man with a slight surprise, feeling that Murong Xuanji was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember when he had seen it, and asked defensively: "Who is the son?" ”
Murong Xuanji tore off the bun on his head, his black hair fell like a waterfall, and he looked at the general of Zhenguo with serious and firm eyes and said, "Doesn't the general know me?" I am Murong Xuanji, the princess of Xuanyuan Hao, the ninth prince of the Beiming Kingdom, and I was entertained by your monarch when I came to the Eastern Tang Kingdom with my husband before, and we met at the banquet at that time. ”
After Murong Xuanji said this, the general of Zhenguo finally remembered Murong Xuanji, but after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong, and still looked at her defensively and said, "Why are you in the Eastern Tang Kingdom, and you are still dressed like this?" ”
"To tell you the truth, my husband and I encountered some troubles, I secretly left Beiming Kingdom and came to the Eastern Tang Kingdom to find my uncle for help, and after coming to the capital, I found that something was wrong, so I learned that my uncle was under house arrest by the eldest prince in the dormitory after quietly entering the palace last night."
Seeing that he was still looking at himself with suspicion, he remembered the jade pendant that Wei Yushu gave him, so he immediately took out the jade pendant and showed it to General Zhenguo.
"This jade pendant-" General Zhenguo took the jade pendant with some excitement and looked at it carefully, and said with some emotion: "I didn't expect the emperor to keep this jade pendant, I thought he had smashed this jade pendant." ”
Although I don't know what kind of story this jade peri has between Wei Yushu and General Zhenguo, now is not the time to be curious.
"General, now is not the time to sigh, the emperor is still waiting for you to go back and save it." Murong Xuanji said anxiously, eager to take him back immediately.
"Wait a minute." The general of Zhenguo opened his mouth to stop it, although he was worried about Wei Yushu, but he still said calmly: "You tell me the situation in the capital first, I already knew that the big prince was not a good thing, and finally the fox showed its tail." ”
From the tone of the general of Zhenguo mentioning the eldest prince, it is the same as what Murong Xuanji knows, he hates the eldest prince very much. Murong Xuanji immediately briefly told Wei Yushu about the situation in the capital and the palace, and looked at him frowning and not speaking, although he was very anxious, he knew that he was thinking, and he didn't urge him anymore.
"Nine Emperor Princesses, you go back to Beijing first to ensure the emperor's safety. The old man is going to do something. After a long time, General Zhenguo spoke.
"Good!" Murong Xuanji didn't ask much, his expression made Murong Xuanji have no reason to believe him, nodded, and rode back to the capital first.
"Xuanque, what's the situation?" Murong Xuanji found Xuanque and immediately asked.
"It's still calm." Xuanque breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Murong Xuanji coming back safely, but quickly said with a solemn expression: "However, I heard that their eldest prince began to mobilize troops and horses, and was ready to lead troops into the palace to force the palace. ”
"It depends on whether the general can come back in time." Murong Xuan Xuanji said with some uncertainty. The two stayed outside the palace for a while, and when they saw patrolling soldiers approaching here, they immediately left.
Murong Xuanji and Xuanque, who returned to their temporary residence, had nothing to do for the time being, and they had been on the road for the past two days, and when they came to the Eastern Tang Kingdom, they didn't expect to encounter such a thing as forcing the palace, and their bodies had reached the limit after not resting for a long time, so they leaned on the side of the bed to rest.
In a daze, they suddenly heard a sound outside, and the two immediately woke up and looked at each other, and immediately rushed out, seeing that there were no people on the street, and the street was full of soldiers, and the originally dark night was illuminated by torches, as if it were day.
"Oh no, the eldest prince is on the move." Murong Xuanji reacted immediately, and ran towards the palace with Xuanque, and the person who came to the palace wall again, looking at the palace gate that was even more heavily guarded than before, the two of them jumped up and entered the palace without any hesitation.
"Xuanque, you are waiting for me here." When he came to Wei Yushu's bedroom, Murong Xuanji told Xuanque, "Don't show it until you have to, I'll go in to protect the emperor." ”
"Master, it's too dangerous, so you let me go." Xuanque asked Murong Xuanji again, but she refused.
"No, I can't. The emperor and the general don't know you, it's too much time to explain, I'll be fine. Not letting Xuanque have a chance to refuse, Murong Xuanji flew up the wall and soon came to the eaves above Wei Yushu's bedroom.
Uncovered the tiles and looked inside, it may be that everyone already knew that the danger was coming, this time there was no one waiting in Wei Yushu's palace, Murong Xuanji walked in quietly without much thought.
"Uncle!" Murong Xuanji shouted in a low voice, shouting a few times, only to see Wei Yushu come out of the inner room, "The eldest prince has already started to act, and the palace is full of soldiers. ”
"I know." Wei Yushu nodded very calmly, and asked calmly, "Have you found the Great Protector General?" ”
"Found it. I told him about the situation in the capital and the palace, but he asked me to come back first, and I don't know what the arrangements were. Murong Xuanji saw Wei Yushu's calm appearance, and the anxiety in his heart slowly calmed down.
Hearing Murong Xuanji say this, Wei Yushu not only didn't look worried at all, but calmly sat on the chair and said, "Xuanji, you leave quickly, this is not the place you should come to, you go back and tell Hao'er, I may not be able to help him finish what he asked me to do." ”
"I'm not leaving. Even if I have to leave, I will leave with you. "Murong Xuanji has already prepared for the worst, if the general of Zhenguo really didn't rush to the rescue, if the eldest prince really wants to lead his troops to attack Wei Yushu, then even if he fights for his own life, Murong Xuanji will take him away.
Wei Yushu smiled calmly and said with emotion: "Hao'er is really his blessing to be able to marry you. But no matter what the outcome, I'm not leaving. As the emperor of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, I can't leave the country and the people alone in times of crisis, even if I die, I will die in this palace. ”
"I'm not going to let you die." Murong Xuanji blurted out and sat down on the chair, I can't ignore this incident today.
Seeing that Murong Xuanji planned to stay and retreat with her, Wei Yushu looked at her a little helplessly, and wanted to persuade her to leave, but seeing that she seemed to have made up her mind not to leave, Wei Yushu moved her lips, and finally didn't say anything, and the two sat quietly in the room, waiting for the arrival of the eldest prince.
As the earth-shattering sound outside became clearer and clearer, and hurried footsteps came from outside the corridor, Murong Xuanji and Wei Yushu glanced at each other, and immediately stood up and said, "I'll hide first." As soon as the words fell, Murong Xuanji had already hidden behind the curtain in the inner room.
It was no one else who walked in, but Wei Yushu's queen, Murong Xuanji also knew her, and she was also warmly received by the queen before.
"Why is the queen here?" Wei Yushu saw the panicked look on the queen's face, and asked worriedly, "Is something wrong?" ”
The concubine heard the noise outside, and the prince's men and horses had already arrived at the palace gate. The concubine didn't know if she could enter the sun tomorrow, thinking that even if she was going to die, she would have to be with the emperor. After seeing Wei Yushu, the queen calmed down a lot.
Wei Yushu held the queen's hand and said, "You have been with me for decades, even if you die, I will accompany you, don't worry." Xuanji, come out. Wei Yushu called out Murong Xuanji, the queen is someone he believes in respecting, so before he dies, he doesn't want to hide anything from the queen.
Seeing Murong Xuanji coming out of the inner room, the queen didn't recognize her at once, and looked at the emperor with some doubts.
"Xuanji greets the queen." Murong Xuanji greeted the queen with a smile, and seeing that the queen still didn't recognize herself, Murong Xuanji took out the token that the queen gave her, and asked with a smile: "Does the queen remember me?" ”
"You, you are Xuanyuan Hao's wife, Murong Xuanji?" Seeing that the emperor nodded, the queen hadn't recovered from her surprise yet, and blurted out a question: "Why are you here, is Hao'er here too?" ”
"He didn't come, I quietly came to ask my uncle for help, but I didn't expect to meet the eldest prince forcing the palace." Murong Xuanji's smile faded, and he shook his head and said.
"I asked Xuanji to leave, but she wouldn't go." Wei Yushu explained to the empress, "No one knows about Xuanji's coming to the Eastern Tang Kingdom. ”
"The concubine knows, and the concubine won't tell anyone." The wise queen immediately understood the meaning of Wei Yushu's words. Although the situation is critical now, seeing Murong Xuanji and her reluctance to leave, the queen is very relieved, and took Murong Xuanji's hand and said gratefully: "Thank you for your willingness to stay, I don't know what to say to express my gratitude in my heart." ”
"You are my husband's relatives, that is, my relatives. When my family was in danger, my husband never gave up to help, and now I just do what I should do. Murong Xuanji said with a smile.
Suddenly hearing the shouts of everyone outside, the expressions of the three of them froze, Wei Yushu's expression became stern, and he said: "Xuanji, you take care of the queen here, I'll go out and have a look." ”
"Uncle, Your Majesty!" Murong Xuanji and the Empress shouted in unison, the worry on their faces obvious.
"I'll be fine." Wei Yushu nodded calmly at the two, and then strode out.
