Chapter 087: Kindness Returns
"Murong Yixuan, don't you look at the current hour, your father has already fallen asleep, do you dare to wake up your father at this hour!" The fourth prince shot back viciously, "Besides, tonight is His Royal Highness's duty, and His Royal Highness has the right to dispose of it temporarily!" ”
"The matter of the fourth emperor brother and the ninth brother, you should know how much your father cares about it!" Murong Yixuan clearly saw at this moment that if he wasn't in front of the emperor, Xiao Chengxi wouldn't be able to say anything, but what the four princes said was not unreasonable, waking up his father at this hour, whether it was a blessing or a curse, no one could tell!
"Oh? What does the seventh brother think about the change? The fourth prince said with a smile on his face, because he felt that Murong Yixuan was gradually walking into his trap.
Murong Yixuan was about to say something, but Xiao Chengxi gently pulled his sleeve and turned his head sideways, Xiao Chengxi hurriedly shook his head at him, she knew the stakes best, presumably if Murong Yixuan stepped in, it would be difficult to get out, because she had already sorted it out, it seemed that these things were coming at her!
Just shaking her head so lightly, Murong Yixuan understood Xiao Chengxi's intentions, and her heart fluttered, she was still protecting herself with all her heart!
Murong Yixuan only held Xiao Chengxi's hand and increased his strength, showing his determination: "Fourth Emperor Brother, let's go and report to my father, the crime you gave Chengxi is too big, I can't help but alarm my father!" ”
The fourth prince couldn't imagine that Murong Yixuan actually took on the suspicion of disturbing his father's rest, but he hadn't cleared it up yet!
When he was speechless, another lantern came towards this side, and before the person arrived, the voice floated over first: "Chuan'er, who is there?" Who was shouting just now, why does this palace sound like the Nine Emperors?! ”
With a series of questions, a noble woman came to him, Xiao Chengxi saw that it was the mother of the fourth prince, Concubine Xue, and saw that the high bun was decorated with countless precious jewelry, with a proud face.
At this moment, the fourth prince seemed to have found the backbone of the main heart, and hurriedly gave a salute to Concubine Xue: "Queen Mother! ”
When Murong Yixuan saw Concubine Xue, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and together with Xiao Chengxi, he had to bow down and salute: "I've seen Concubine Xue!" ”
Seeing Murong Yixuan holding Xiao Chengxi like that, the corners of Concubine Xue's mouth couldn't help but show a sinister smile: "Flat." Can any of you tell me what just happened? ”
The fourth prince hurriedly recounted what had just happened, and did not give Xiao Chengxi and Murong Yixuan room to speak.
After listening to this, Concubine Xue frowned, and first checked the injuries of the Nine Emperor Princes, and the imperial doctors next to her knew in their hearts that the emperor had given more love to this Nine Emperor Princes, and none of them dared to say anything about the injuries of the Nine Emperor Princes, each frowning and complementing each other, and actually said that the injuries of the Nine Emperor Princes were serious injuries.
Concubine Xue didn't give Xiao Chengxi a chance to defend herself, so she said coldly: "Come on, bring this Linyue princess to my Ling'an Palace!" ”
"Snow Princess." Murong Yixuan hurriedly spoke, if Xiao Chengxi was taken away by Concubine Xue, he would be very tricky, "The Fourth Emperor Brother came here, but he just saw the last moment, judging from the injuries of the two people, Princess Chengxi's words seem to be more credible!" The last words, Murong Yixuan said a little heavily, as soon as the words came out, he himself noticed it, and in a hurry, he had no choice but to make amends, "The fourth emperor brother is worried about the ninth brother, but don't ignore the injuries of the two people!" ”
"Presumptuous!" Concubine Xue didn't allow a prince to disobey her, and immediately scolded, "According to the meaning of His Royal Highness the Seventh, this palace has framed this princess!" ”
Murong Yixuan still had to argue, Xiao Chengxi couldn't help but quietly pull his sleeve, this hesitation made Concubine Xue steal the conversation again: "Your Highness the Seventh, don't forget, this princess has not stopped since she entered our Qingxiao!" Could it be that the disaster of Tongcheng, the Seventh Highness forgot it, the two years of military exploits of the Seventh Highness, almost ruined, just entered the palace, and approached the Nine Emperors with bad intentions, is it possible that the palace is in charge of the harem, let her do whatever she wants! ”
A few words made Murong Yixuan's face change a few times, only he understood how difficult Xiao Chengxi was burdened with these so-called crimes, in fact, it was all for him!
"Did she have any requests, but the Nine Emperor Princes didn't agree, so she ruthlessly assassinated the Nine Emperor Princes?!" Concubine Xue's series of judgments have almost convicted Xiao Chengxi!
"Concubine Xue, let's meet my father and make plans again!" In the end, Murong Yixuan could only make such a request, "After all, Xiao Chengxi is the princess of Linyue Kingdom, and the stakes are complicated, so please ask your father to decide!" ”
If this stake is given to the emperor, it will work, but this Xue Concubine doesn't pay much attention to it: "It's just a princess of a vassal country, she doesn't even have a title, and there are many bad deeds, Your Highness the Seventh, even if Linyue wants to take care of it, are they embarrassed to speak!" ”
Murong Yixuan's original intention was to use Xiao Chengxi's identity to seek some hope for her, but instead, he provoked another ridicule from Concubine Xue, making his anger about to explode!
Fortunately, Xiao Chengxi keenly felt his changes, and hurriedly reached out and grabbed Murong Yixuan's urge to take a step forward, the wound was pulled, and the blood was suddenly stained red with the entangled gauze, she couldn't help frowning, and just when Murong Yixuan looked back, she gave up the impulsive thought.
To everyone's surprise, Xiao Chengxi spoke: "Concubine Xue, no matter what others think of me, I, Xiao Chengxi, am bright and fair, with a clear conscience!" She suddenly left the protection of the Seven Emperors and took two steps directly towards the Nine Emperors, and this sudden change provoked the guards beside the Nine Emperors to suddenly pull out their sabers.
This also made Concubine Xue a little dumbfounded, and she didn't understand what this Xiao Chengxi was going to do.
Xiao Chengxi stood calmly and calmly, his voice was like speaking normally, and he said to the Nine Emperor Princes: "Your Highness the Nine, what happened just now, you must know best, it is related to Chengxi's life and death, and please ask His Royal Highness the Ninth to explain it to Concubine Xue!" ”
She didn't believe it, this Nine Emperor Princes really didn't have any memory at all, although the Nine Emperors' words might not be adopted by Concubine Xue, but if the Nine Emperors could say something beneficial to themselves, there would definitely be a chance to turn over!
Murong Yixuan immediately understood what Xiao Chengxi meant, but he only felt that this hope was extremely slim, and the words of the Nine Emperor Princes could be ignored at will!
Seeing Xiao Chengxi talking to him, the Nine Emperor Princes just stared at Xiao Chengxi in a daze, Xiao Chengxi was extremely lost, could it be that in the palace, human nature must be annihilated!
Just when she was extremely disappointed, Concubine Xue waved her hand: "Come on, bring Xiao Chengxi to my Ling'an Palace!" ”
Murong Yixuan stepped forward very impulsively, wanting to protect Xiao Chengxi, the four princes seemed to be very satisfied with the impulse of the seventh prince, and just as the two sides were about to make a move, the nine princes suddenly came from a cry: "Father! I want to see my father! ”
A shout from the Nine Emperor Princes made both sides stop suddenly, and Murong Yixuan's eyes suddenly lit up, unexpectedly, at a critical moment, the Nine Emperor Princes unintentionally resolved a crisis!
Concubine Xue frowned and looked at the Nine Emperor Princes, for the Nine Emperor Princes, she couldn't speak coldly, spreading it would definitely damage her reputation, so she could only speak softly: "Your Highness the Nine, now is not the time to make trouble, this palace will send someone to send His Royal Highness the Nine Back." ”
But the Nine Emperors didn't agree to anything, and clamored to see their father, saying that they wanted their father to see his injuries in person! No matter who advises, it won't work!
Although the four princes set up a bureau so that Xiao Chengxi had no way out, and Emperor Xiaoxi was originally disdainful of Xiao Chengxi, even if Emperor Xiaohuang saw through this trap at a glance, he would not speak to Xiao Chengxi, they were naturally not afraid, and this made them fearless, but Concubine Xue didn't want to see Emperor Xiao, what she was afraid of was Emperor Xiaohuang's shrewdness, and she was afraid that her favor would be discounted.
Just when Concubine Xue wanted to use it quietly, Concubine Chang, the mother of the Nine Emperor Princes, arrived, and before anyone arrived, she heard a shout: "Who made my Nine Emperor Princes cry!" ”
Hearing Concubine Chang's shout, even Concubine Xue didn't say anything more, after all, the identity of this Concubine Chang was an extremely special existence in the Qingxiao Palace.
The Nine Emperor Princes are very close to their mothers, and as soon as Concubine Chang appeared, the Nine Emperors ran to their queen mothers with brisk steps, sobbing while running.
Concubine Chang was very distressed when she saw her son with white gauze wrapped around his arm: "Emperor, what's wrong with you, who made you look like this!" ”
Concubine Xue hurriedly turned around and greeted Concubine Chang: "Sister Concubine Chang, are you here too?" ”
Concubine Chang glanced at Concubine Xue and said coldly: "If I don't come, will my emperor be bullied by someone!?" ”
"How is that possible! With this palace here, he will never let His Highness Nine be bullied! Concubine Xue pointed at Xiao Chengxi and said, "It was that foreign princess who wanted to assassinate His Royal Highness the Nine, but was discovered and stopped by my emperor Haochuan in time, so that His Royal Highness the Ninth Highness was saved from being more seriously injured!" ”
Listening to the words of Concubine Xue and the others, Concubine Chang's sharp eyes suddenly locked on Xiao Chengxi, Murong Yixuan couldn't help but feel a tightness in his heart, if Concubine Chang wanted to hand over Xiao Chengxi to Concubine Xue, then he was really powerless, so he hurriedly spoke: "Concubine Chang, Yixuan has something to say!" In her tone, she was obviously much more cautious than when she talked to Concubine Xue just now, which made Xiao Chengxi a little unexpected, and she had to pay attention to Concubine Chang in her heart!
Concubine Chang turned her gaze to the Seventh Prince: "Your Highness the Seventh? What do you have to say? Concubine Chang was naturally aware of the tense relationship between Murong Yixuan and this Princess Chengxi, so she was surprised that the Seventh Prince wanted to speak for Xiao Chengxi.
"Concubine Chang, Yixuan is just talking about things, no matter what Xiao Chengxi did before, but this time the facts should be different from what the Four Emperor Brothers said!" Murong Yixuan raised his head and said very firmly.
