She was startled by her thoughts. She quickly pulled off the red ribbon on the scroll and shook it off eagerly.
A picture of mother and child leaps into view.
She was startled and turned her head to look carefully.
The painting style is graceful and graceful, and it seems to be the work of a woman.
Come to think of it, Su Wen did it himself.
The woman in the painting has curved eyebrows and light eyebrows, and her eyes are downcast, looking at the baby in her arms with tenderness and love.
The woman is Su Wen.
The baby in her arms should be what she imagined the baby in her belly would look like. If she takes a closer look, her features and eyes are indeed somewhat similar to Brother Yi.
What a harmonious picture, but the people are gone.
Mo Shuang felt sad. She could even imagine the despair and sadness Su Wen must have felt when he painted this painting.
I just don’t know how Brother Yi would feel after seeing this painting.
Sighing softly, she rolled up the scroll bit by bit. Just as she was about to tie the red ribbon, her eyes suddenly narrowed and she thought of something.
It is very simple to take this painting out to Brother Yi, but you must not fall into other people's traps.
With this thought in mind, she unfolded the scroll again and examined it carefully.
The scroll is made of solid wood, so it is impossible to hide anything else, and the paper has no interlayer.
And looking at it, I can't see that such a simple picture has any other profound meaning.
Maybe she was overthinking it, and it was really just a painting for Brother Yi to remember.
She rolled up the painting again and began to pack it up. She had to leave while Leng Qisu was not around.
During this period of time, he stayed in her Youmei Garden. It was not easy for him to have this opportunity. More importantly, it was not easy for Su Wen to take advantage of this matter and make up his mind. She must leave as soon as possible!
She was afraid that the longer she delayed, the less she would want to leave and the more she would miss him.
In fact, there wasn't much to pack. She came here alone, and everything in this room belonged to Leng Qisu.
All she could take away was her and his child, which was also a thought in her future life.
Besides, it's not convenient to go to see Brother Yi with a lot of money. At least he can't let him see that he has left the palace. Otherwise, he will always find a way to contain her, such as the hidden arrow last time.
This is the tragedy of a chess piece, never having the right to leave the game on its own.
She took out her night jacket from under the bed and put it on over the existing brocade skirt. She stuffed Su Wen's scroll into her sleeves. She looked around at everything in the room with nostalgia again and took a deep breath, over and over again.
After a while, he pursed his lips, gently pushed open the window, tiptoed, and stepped out of the window, his body as light as a butterfly.

study
When Leng Qixi pushed the door open, it was pitch dark inside. He fumbled to light the candle on the desk, and it took him a long time to find the man sitting behind the desk with his face covered.
He was a little surprised, "Fourth brother?"
After a while, Leng Qisu raised his head from his palms. When he saw it was him, he tried his best to smile and said, "Why are the eleventh brothers in the study so late?"
Hearing this, Leng Qixi's face darkened and she sat down dejectedly, "Ruxue won't let me in."
"What did Wei Su ask?"
"Well" Leng Qixi sighed, a little frustrated, "She didn't listen to my explanation at all."
Leng Qisu curled his lips, "Su Wen's acting is so real, anyone would think too much about it, let alone Ruxue who cares about you so much, don't blame her."
"I don't blame her, I just feel sad. Is there no trust between me and her?" Leng Qixi squinted at the candlelight on the table, Guanyu's face showed a rare sullen look.
trust
Leng Qisu was shocked. There was something missing between him and a certain person.
After gathering his thoughts, he stood up and patted Leng Qixi's shoulder gently, "It's okay. The king will help you explain to Ruxue tomorrow. I'll make sure you and her see the light of day."
"Thank you, fourth brother, but she is so stubborn." Leng Qixi couldn't help but sigh before she could finish her words.
"Don't worry, in this world, as long as there is a misunderstanding, it will definitely be solved. I'm afraid." He closed his eyes, looked at the flickering candlelight, and sighed, "I'm afraid it's not a misunderstanding."
"Isn't it a misunderstanding?" Leng Qixi was startled, and her expression suddenly changed, "How could it be that it wasn't a misunderstanding? Could it be that the fourth brother also suspected that the woman Su Wen and I were really involved in that matter?"
"No! I'm not talking about you!" Seeing how anxious he was, Leng Qisu couldn't help laughing, "I just said that, I didn't refer to anyone or anything in particular."
In fact, he was talking about himself and another woman.
Although he didn't understand clearly, Leng Qixi was not in the mood to argue with him. Suddenly something occurred to him and he raised his eyes to look at him, "By the way, fourth brother, why are you in the study so late? You shouldn't be with me in Youmei Garden." Fourth sister-in-law? Are fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law also having conflicts? "
Conflict
Isn't it a good thing to have conflicts? They are afraid of conflicts, but they are both calm.
Leng Qisu smiled and said, "No, I just want to be alone for a while." He was about to continue saying something when he suddenly heard a small knock on the door.
"Your Majesty!"
It was the voice of the guards commanding Night Breeze.
*****************
Mo Shuang left the palace and headed south.
Before I knew it, it was already bright.
She found a hidden place to take off the night traveler, and then continued on her way without stopping.
It was only after listening to Su Wen last night that she learned that Tianlong Mountain in the southern suburbs of the capital was also a secret contact point for Brother Yi.
On the seventh day of every month, Brother Yi would go to the Tianlong Temple on the mountain to burn incense and pray for blessings.
Yesterday was the sixth day of June, and today is the seventh day of the lunar month.
Mo Shuang didn't dare to stop for a moment, fearing that if she missed it, she wouldn't know when she would have to wait.
The magpie used for communication was gone, and the Longmen Inn had to send a message to make an appointment first. She didn't want to wait too long, she wanted to make a quick decision and leave as soon as possible.
By the time we hurriedly and slowly arrived at Tianlong Mountain, it was almost dusk.
The afterglow of the setting sun dyes the clouds on the horizon red, like woven clouds and heaps of brocade.
On the lush mountains, a man and a horse stand facing the wind.
"Brother Yi!"
Mo Shuang looked at the man on the horse in surprise.
Shouldn't he be offering incense in the temple? Looking at him like this, he seemed to know that she was coming and was waiting for her.
"Shuang'er" Leng Qiyi curled his lips and smiled, as warm as the brilliance of the moonlight. He landed gracefully and walked towards her slowly. The fiery red sunset reflected him in white clothes and black hair, like a banished immortal.
He stretched out his hand towards her, and hugged her gently as he had done countless times before. His mellow voice sounded softly in her ears, "You are finally here!"
For some reason, she resisted his embrace. She frowned and struggled slightly, then asked, "Suwen is dead, does Brother Yi know?"
Leng Qiyi's body trembled, he let go of her, turned around and looked at the clouds in the sky, sighing, "I know, she asked Diao'er to bring me a message last night."
Mink
Mo Shuang was a little shocked. It turned out that Diao'er was still in contact between them. She couldn't help but secretly sigh in her heart. Su Wen had hidden her deeply. Some time ago, she was so close to her and he didn't even notice her.
Of course, these are no longer important. At this moment, what she wanted to know was this man's mood.
"Brother Yi, are you sad?"
He was startled, then turned around and looked at her, the complex look in his eyes changing again and again, "What did Shuang'er say?"
she says? How does she know
Staring closely at his pupils, she tried hard to find something she could understand inside.
No, not a single bit she could see clearly.
"Forget it." She lowered her eyes and smiled bitterly, "Everyone is dead, so what's the use of talking about it?"
What is she still hoping for? In extravagant hope, can Su Wen's death make this man feel touched and stop
He won't.
Taking a deep breath, she took out the picture scroll from her sleeve and looked at him coldly, "Since you have Diao'er communicating with you, Brother Yi must also know that Su Wen drew a picture and dragged me to it. Give it to Brother Yi?"
"Yeah" Leng Qiyi nodded, "Just because I know, I'm waiting for you here!"
Slowly narrowing his eyes, he put his arm around her shoulders again and said, "You don't have to go back. What Su Wen exchanged for with his life is enough to prevent the Fourth Prince Leng Qisu from ever being seen again in this world."
