Chapter 9 Chaoyang helps Xiao Junze out of the siege
Xiao Junze frowned and looked at Prince Yu and Concubine Hua. Mu Huaichen was right. In order to get the throne, Concubine Hua and Prince Yu had formed an alliance.
A hint of coldness flashed across Xiao Junze's eyes, and the murderous intent all over Xiao Junze instantly became intense.
Before leaving the palace, Mu Huaichen deliberately warned that he must be patient when entering the palace today and try his best to walk into the trap of these people so that they can get carried away and relax their vigilance.
But Xiao Junze originally thought that the person Prince Yu wanted to take advantage of was Chaoyang, but he didn't expect that he would drag Murong Ling into the water.
"The emperor brother should know very well what will happen if he interferes with the concubine, right?" Prince Yu raised his lips and walked up to Xiao Junze in a triumphant manner. "The position of the prince has been abolished. I don't know if he persists in admonishment... Where will he be abolished this time? ?”
Xiao Junze clenched his hands hard and looked at Prince Yu patiently without speaking.
"Come here! The deposed prince Xiao Junze has made many mistakes and interfered with the concubine. The evidence is conclusive. He has been dragged into the clan's mansion and is waiting for his father to be punished when he wakes up." Seeing that Xiao Junze did not speak, Prince Yu thought he was afraid.
"Concubine Hua, Prince Yu, Prince Li and I are innocent, why do you have such lies!" Murong Ling spoke nervously, protecting Xiao Junze.
Xiao Junze felt sorry for Murong Ling and did not want her to continue to be implicated.
"Innocent? You have retreated from the palace. There is no one around. Can anyone prove that you are innocent?" Concubine Hua laughed domineeringly. Today, Xiao Junze must be completely eliminated as a hidden danger.
"Take it away!" Prince Yu didn't want to talk nonsense.
Xiao Junze's clenched hands were trembling a little. He shook his head at Murong Ling forbearingly and said in a low voice, "You must learn to protect yourself wisely. No matter what happens, don't blame me."
Murong Ling's eyes were a little red, and she looked at Xiao Junze in a panic. "No..."
"Be obedient." Xiao Junze looked at Murong Ling with doting eyes.
He won't die, he will just be deposed again and his skin will peel off in the clan's mansion.
This will also allow Prince Yu and Concubine Hua to relax their vigilance, at least in the short term they will not attack Murong Ling who has no heir threat.
"Your Majesty, the hairpin that I dropped has been found. Please come out and look for it for me."
Just as those people were about to take Xiao Junze away, a light voice came from the palace gate.
Prince Yu and Concubine Hua frowned, subconsciously focusing their attention on Chaoyang.
"I've seen Prince Yu, I've seen..." Chaoyang nervously greeted Concubine Hua, and took a closer look at Concubine Hua, and he understood in his heart. "I've seen Concubine Hua, the Empress."
The young and favored concubine in the palace was none other than Concubine Hua. She was about the same age as Murong Ling. Although she entered the palace late and had no heirs, she was favored by His Majesty and was known to be arrogant and domineering.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Grandmother is still waiting for us. Where are you going?" Chaoyang pretended to be puzzled and put the hairpin in Xiao Junze's hand. "This is what the prince gave to my concubine. I hope the prince will insert it back with his own hands."
Chaoyang smiled shyly and showed great affection to Xiao Junze in front of everyone.
Xiao Junze's hand holding the hairpin stiffened for a moment, then he smiled and rubbed Chaoyang's cheek with his hand, and responded lovingly. "Don't leave it behind next time, so that I can find it easily."
"Thank you very much, Concubine Rong, for sending the palace servants to look for this hairpin for me. Although it is not a valuable thing, it was given to me by the prince himself." Chaoyang turned around to greet Murong Ling, brushed his body, and smiled shyly.
Concubine Hua and Prince Yu glanced at each other, Xiao Junze’s concubine? She actually ruined their good deeds!
With so many palace people watching, as long as Murong Ling admits that he sent the palace people to look for the hairpin, then they will not be able to deal with Xiao Junze too openly!
"Your Highness Prince Li, the Queen Mother urges you to hurry up." Inside the palace gate, the old eunuch rushed to the rescue in time. He seemed to be relieved and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Fortunately, he came in time.
"Let's go, don't keep Grandma Huang waiting too long." Xiao Junze lovingly inserted the hairpin back into Chaoyang's hair, deliberately using too much force and scratching Chaoyang's scalp.
Chaoyang bit the corners of her lips forbearingly, knowing that Xiao Junze did it on purpose.
Murong Ling looked at Chaoyang with jealousy, wishing to have Xiao Junze all to herself and not wanting him to be so gentle to other women.
Concubine Hua and Prince Yu also looked at each other, thinking that Xiao Junze was lucky this time!
…
As soon as he walked into the palace gate, Xiao Junze pinched Chaoyang's wrist hard, dislocating the newly recovered joint again. "I told you, put away your cleverness!"
"Yeah." Chaoyang's eyes instantly turned red due to pain, and he almost fell to the ground as he trembled.
Xiao Junze pretended to be affectionate and hugged Chaoyang to prevent her from falling to the ground due to pain, and continued to threaten her. "Don't be so smart."
