Lin Mo had only heard a rough idea of the series of procedures for entering the palace and being sealed. But even if you can't remember it, it's not a big deal, there is a courtesy officer in charge, and Cheng Yan, Lin Mo and the others just need to do as they say.
After a complete canonization ceremony, even if Lin Mo had used the spiritual spring water in advance, it would be too much for him at the moment.
Not only the heavy wedding dress, but also the accessories on Lin Mo's body.
Lin Mo was led down the white jade steps by Cheng Yan. Just as he walked down the last step, he vaguely heard a strange sound in the distance.
The sound of weapons colliding
Lin Mo turned his head to look at Cheng Yan who was beside him, and asked silently.
"It's time to go to the main hall to see Brother Huang." Cheng Yan said in a low voice.
Today is a happy day for him and Momo, no matter who it is, they can't make trouble.
"Okay." Lin Mo nodded. Since Cheng Yan didn't care, he didn't need to ask more.
And the Royal Shadow Guard who had been hiding in the dark, his eyes froze when he heard the slight noise.
In the next second, the black shadow passed by. Not long after, the originally noisy voice gradually disappeared.
After cleaning up the people, some shadow guards picked up the few people who were still breathing slightly and left, and the rest of the shadow guards cleared the traces of the scene, and then retreated to the dark place to wait for the next wave.
On the outskirts of the imperial city, Fu Yunchang, dressed in strong attire, waited quietly with a long gun in his hand. Not long after, a group of soldiers came out of the woods.
"General, King Qi was taken away. We only caught a woman next to him, who claimed to be the prime minister's daughter." A certain soldier who rushed over stopped and said respectfully.
"Prime Minister's daughter?" Fu Yunchang raised his eyes and glanced at the gagged and struggling woman, his eyes were a bit cold.
"This subordinate sees that she has a close relationship with King Qi, so he arbitrarily..." A certain general noticed the general's eyes and explained.
However, this wasn't the reason why he tied her up and gagged her mouth without authorization, it was because this woman was too noisy.
"Take it down and keep it under strict supervision."
The cousin asked him to catch this woman. Although he didn't know the reason, but considering the relationship between this woman and King Qi, even if the prime minister didn't subdue him this time, this woman would not be able to escape.
"Yes, General."
Following Cheng Yan to the main hall, Lin Mo only saw four people. Emperor An Chenglin and their grandfather, General Zhen Guo, stood in the middle, with An Jinyuan and Ling Yi standing on both sides.
Lin Mo, who was still a little nervous, breathed a sigh of relief. Brother Huang, A Yuan and Ling Yi, he and the three have been together for a long time.
As for the old general of Zhenguo, Lin Mo was often brought to visit by An Jinyuan during this time.
Lin Mo stood next to Cheng Yan, with a slight smile on his lips, trying to show his cute side in front of Cheng Yan's family.
As the emperor, An Chenglin said a few words according to the situation, and then handed over the right to speak to his grandfather.
Old General Fu didn't say much, just said a few words, and then handed over the red sandalwood box that he had been holding in his hand to Cheng Yan.
"Grandfather, what is this?" Cheng Yan took it with doubts in his eyes.
"When you were young, Luan'er went to the National Temple to ask for blessings for the three of you. Abbot Ji Yuan specially gave this to you, saying that you are destined for this thing."
When General Fu talked about this, his eyes were full of nostalgia, his little daughter...
Lin Mo turned his head to glance at the red sandalwood box in Cheng Yan's hand, and frowned slightly. For some reason, he always felt a little uneasy in his heart, and his heartbeat was out of order without warning.
When General Fu took out the thing, Zero One's attention was attracted by it.
Ling Yi vaguely sensed that the things in the box had a kind of energy, which was of the same origin as the things on Lin Mo.
Old General Fu seemed to know what Cheng Yan wanted to ask, and before he could speak, he spoke again, "Abbot Ji Yuan said, you have killed too much in your life, and if you can't find someone to protect you in your life, you don't need to give up this jade pendant." Give it back to you."
"If you find it, you will hand over this jade pendant to your guardian for safekeeping. You only need to drip a drop of blood on the jade pendant." Old General Fu urged.
"this… "
"The rest of the old men don't know, you just do what Abbot Ji Yuan said." Old General Fu waved his hand and said nothing.
"Cheng Yan..." Lin Mo's uneasiness grew stronger and he couldn't help but speak.
Cheng Yan could hear the slight tremor in his voice, although he didn't understand what Momo was afraid of, but he still reached out and held the cold hand under his sleeve.
"Then let's go back to the palace first, it's almost time."
Cheng Yan led Lin Mo out of the main hall, and did not see Lin Mo speak until he walked out of the palace.
Cheng Yan held his hand tightly, "Momo, what's wrong?"
After walking for a while, the inexplicable uneasiness in his heart still persisted, but Lin Mo still braced himself.
Today is his and Cheng Yan's big wedding, so those inexplicable emotions should not be disturbed.
"It's okay." Lin Mo shook his head.
Hearing this, Cheng Yan pursed his lips and did not speak again.
One day, he will let Momo speak out what is in his heart without reservation.
Now is not the time, his knot needs time.
Cheng Yan kept repeating those words in his heart until he suppressed the gloomy emotions in his heart.
After the prince and husband came out and sat in the sedan chair, the welcoming team waiting on the side lifted the sedan chair, beat gongs and drums, and walked towards Cheng Wang's mansion.
The buildings on both sides of the road are hung with red cloth and red lanterns, and the whole street presents a festive atmosphere.
Red silk strips and red lanterns were also hung in front of the doors of every house in the imperial city to add joy to their wedding.
When the welcoming team returned, the old general Zhen Guo and the emperor were already waiting in the lobby of the palace.
In addition to the officials of the imperial court, there were also representatives of the aristocratic families who had been close friends with the Lin family before their defeat.
Even Lin Lan, the third sister of the Lin family, was present. Lin Lan and Yan Ningxi stood beside Lin's father and Lin's mother with a child in their arms.
All the people present were watching the two people who walked in through the gate, holding red cloths in their hands.
Fu Yun, who had just rushed over after changing his clothes and had already settled the prime minister's affairs, stood aside.
Looking at his cousin who had always had a cold face, Fu Yunchang's tense face relaxed a little with his extraordinarily soft eyes at this moment.
Now that we are married, my aunt should feel relieved if she knows.
From entering the palace to completing the last step of worship, Lin Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief after being brought back to the bedroom by Cheng Yan.
Lin Mo sat on the edge of the bed, his straight back also bent down.
"I asked my servant to prepare some food, remember to eat, I will be back soon." Cheng Yan squeezed his palm and said.
"Okay." Lin Mo sat up straight and raised his head in response.
"... If you feel that the jewelry on your head is heavy, take it off." Cheng Yan raised his hand and fiddled with the gold tassel on Lin Mo's head, and said in a low voice.
Cheng Yan knew that Lin Mo didn't like to dress himself up, so he usually tied a ponytail or tied his hair with a simple hosta just like him.
It was the first time Cheng Yan saw this appearance today.
The usual well-behaved and coldness were a little less, Cheng Yan was going to the Lin Mansion to greet his relatives, and he was amazed at the first sight when he saw Lin Mo.
Especially at the moment when his eyes glanced at him, Cheng Yan's mind went blank for a few seconds.
To be honest, Cheng Yan felt that he couldn't get enough of Momo who looked like this now.
"I know. Well, people who don't go out should talk about it." Lin Mo stretched out his hand and pushed him.
Although they had done more intimate things, the way Cheng Yan looked at him at this time still made Lin Mo's ears feel hot.
Said to go and return quickly, but Cheng Yan still delayed for some time. Even if you can turn down the wine toasted by other people, you still have to drink the wine from your father-in-law and a few brothers-in-law.
Fortunately, when Cheng Yan was at the border, he often drank strong wine with the soldiers to warm up. When he finally got rid of those people and went back to the bedroom, his face was only a little red, and his steps were still very steady.
Cheng Yan raised his hand to touch the red sandalwood box inside the skirt of his clothes. Cheng Yan still had some impression of the jade pendant inside.
Cheng Yan wore that jade pendant close to his body since he was a child until he was seven years old, and then because that man was stingy with giving his mother and concubine superficial favors, his jade pendant was put away.
At that time Cheng Yan didn't know the reason, but now, Cheng Yan probably knows it too.
Because the jade pendant is a dragon-shaped jade pendant with the word "Emperor" on it.
If that man knew the existence of this jade pendant, I am afraid that both the concubine mother and the grandfather would be held accountable, not to mention that their father had already wanted to take back the military power from his grandfather.
However, now this jade pendant is for Momo.
I just don't know why blood was dripped on the jade pendant.
Walking to the door of the bedroom, Cheng Yan suppressed the thoughts in his head, pushed the door and walked in.
After the two drank the wine, Cheng Yan stood behind Lin Mo, untied and combed his hair, and tied it with a red headband behind him.
After changing their clothes, Cheng Yan and Lin Mo sat on the bed.
Lin Mo watched Cheng Yan take out the red sandalwood box that made him feel uneasy, his eyelids twitched for no reason.
"this… "
"The jade pendant inside, I wore it for a few years when I was a child. At that time, my concubine told me not to take it off at any time." Cheng Yan rubbed his fingers against the runes on the side of the box, with nostalgia in his eyes.
Abbot Ji Yuan in the National Temple is an enigmatic monk, no one knows when he appeared there, and no one knows when he disappeared.
Anyway, by the time others reacted, he had already appeared or disappeared.
But Cheng Yan still believed Abbot Ji Yuan's words.
When he was six years old, something happened that almost killed him.
Cheng Yan no longer remembered that incident, but he knew clearly that when he woke up, the dragon-shaped jade pendant on his neck changed from white jade color to light red.
Hearing this, Lin Mo could only suppress the uneasiness in his heart and listen to his story about Yupei.
However, after Cheng Yan opened the red sandalwood box, Lin Mo finally knew the reason for his uneasiness.
When Lin Mo saw the jade pendant for the first time, his heart trembled suddenly, and the thin blood on his face faded away.
Lin Mo's face was pale, and the hands on his lap trembled uncontrollably.
That jade pendant... is the same type as the medium jade pendant in his Lingquan space.
"What's wrong?!" Cheng Yan was taken aback by Lin Mo's violent reaction, and quickly hugged him in his arms.
"This... this jade pendant..." Lin Mo's voice became extremely hoarse.
"Is there something wrong with this jade pendant?" Seeing that Lin Mo's emotions were a little out of control, Cheng Yan was extremely anxious.
Lin Mo has too many secrets, and Cheng Yan also knows that he has been trying to forget them. However, after Lin Mo recovered a little, someone or something kept stimulating him.
As if there was a thorn, when the wound had just healed, it picked up the scab without warning until the blood and flesh became blurred again.
In Daling Village, when Lin Xiuxiu Mu came back, it was the beginning of Lin Mo's loss of control.
Then, on their way back to the imperial city, they fell into a coma for nearly a month. Then to the time when I was alone with Ling Yi, and finally, now, I saw this jade pendant.
Sensing the fear of the person in his arms, Cheng Yan only felt that his heart had been stabbed.
Lin Mo was held in Cheng Yan's arms, and the fingers holding his clothes were so strong that his nails turned white.
Lin Mo only felt that his mind was in a trance for a while, and the shadow brought by the space jade pendant had not disappeared.
Even though it was just an ordinary jade pendant, Lin Mo would still be terrified when he saw it for the first time. Not to mention that when this jade pendant appeared, it aroused the resonance of the spiritual spring in the space.
Lin Mo was extremely panicked at this moment. Will the appearance of this jade pendant destroy everything he has now
Just like in the past and the end of the world, using the Lingquan space as an introduction, the people around him began to encounter accidents one after another
Cheng Yan closed the box and put it aside, stroking the back of the person in his arms to comfort him silently until the restless aura around him gradually dissipated.
Lin Mo suppressed the emotions in his heart, as if thinking of something, he suddenly got up from Cheng Yan's arms, and hurriedly asked, "Has this jade pendant touched your blood?"
"Should have touched it. This jade pendant was originally white jade." Moreover, when Cheng Yan woke up that time, his forehead had a big gash, and it took a long time to recover.
Cheng Yan saw that he looked absent-minded again after listening, and also understood that this jade pendant had a great influence on Lin Mo.
"Since you don't like it, put it away."
"Cheng Yan, is Abbot Ji Yuan still in the National Temple?" Lin Mo asked suddenly.
He specially ordered to drip the blood on the jade pendant.
Ordinary people would not have such thoughts at all. Lin Mo didn't know what the Abbot Ji Yuan in Cheng Yan's mouth knew, whether he knew the extraordinaryness of this dragon-shaped jade pendant.
"He is gone, and no one knows his whereabouts." No one knows whether Abbot Ji Yuan is still in this world.
"Is it necessary to bleed?" Lin Mo's eyes fell on the red sandalwood box, and the dim light of the candle cast on his pale side face, Cheng Yan's heart froze.
"Momo..."
"How about the prime minister and Prince Jing?"
"They originally wanted to take advantage of today to rebel, but my brother and I ordered people to ambush around, and they are now in prison."
Although King Qi was rescued, the peace they had maintained with Qi for many years was also torn apart. Whether Yu and Qi will go to war depends on the choice of the emperor of Qi.
"... Where is Su Qingran?"
"Also in prison."
"Bring the jade pendant here." Lin Mo thought for a long time, and finally said.
The biggest culprit that could threaten the Lin family has been brought to justice, and Lin Mo estimated that the prime minister would not be able to stand up.
Since the abbot Ji Yuan clearly asked Cheng Yan's guardian to keep the jade pendant and drip blood on it.
When Cheng Yan was young, it was foreshadowed that his life would be too heavy to kill.
Abbot Ji Yuan must know something.
