As time passed by, no one knew what Mo Yuming was thinking, and no one dared to look at the sharp eyes that seemed to be able to see everything. What kind of decision will the emperor who has lost his son make!

Ling Xueman's knees really became sore and weak, she straightened her waist instinctively, turned her stiff neck, and inadvertently looked up, but Mo Yuming's sharp eyes suddenly shot over, scared her to blurt out, "Sovereign !"

"Ok?"

Mo Yuming raised a single tone, with questions and cold snorts.

Ling Xueman really wanted to slap her own mouth, so why didn't she calm down? His eyelashes flickered a few times, and he had an idea, bit his lower lip, and said with tears: "The emperor, can Xueman ask to take a look at my grandfather? Hmm, I want to paint the face of my husband and treasure it forever. If you miss him, take it out and have a look, and serve him three sticks of incense every morning and evening to send grief!"

Mo Qiyan narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Ling Xueman thoughtfully, and tightened his thin lips.

Mo Qilin opened his eyes unexpectedly, then cast his gaze on Mo Yuming, waiting for the sacred judge.

Mo Yuming's eyes flashed, and his eyes moved lightly. He faintly glanced at the queen who had never said a word, and whispered: "Queen, what do you mean?"

The queen was soaked in tears with the veil in her hand, and after looking at Ling Xueman seriously, she said slowly: "The concubine wants Han'er to go safely. Since he doesn't want the four princesses to be buried with him, then she allowed him. Right! Although this girl is reckless, she is also sensible, she is always separated from the world when she gets married, and she feels uncomfortable in her heart, just let her go!

"it is good."

Mo Yuming always respected his married wife, and had two sons begging for mercy. In addition to Ling Xueman's last words, he finally nodded and said: "Zhao, Mo Lixuan, the second son of the second prince Mo Qiyan After the four princes, inherit the title, and guard the spirit for the father! The quasi-four princesses visit the four princes together, and then guard the spirit for the husband for three days and three nights. After the four princes are buried, the four princes will be kept in the residence and the salary will be paid as usual!

"Long live the emperor!" everyone in the hall kowtowed and shouted.

Ling Xueman waited for the shouting to stop, and then suddenly realized that her little fortune was saved, and her excited eyes with tears also knocked three heads, "Xie Huang and Empress Empress!"

"Get off!"

Grandpa Li shouted and helped Mo Yuming up, while the two court ladies helped up the queen and walked out of the hall one after another. The kneeling civil and military officials hurriedly got up and followed out.

Ling Xueman let out a long sigh of relief, staggeringly stood up from the ground, and followed at the back.

Mo Qiyan walked in front and left the hall indifferently. Mo Qilin took a few steps forward and then paused. When Ling Xueman, who was walking softly, walked up to him, he frowned and whispered: "If you don't want to die, don't do it again. Come on, the father is in a bad mood, and his mood is abnormal."

After the words fell, Mo Qilin took a big step and walked to the front of Baiguan, without looking back at Ling Xueman.

Ling Xueman's figure was shocked, looking at the backs of Mo Qilin and Mo Qiyan, his heart was filled with warmth.

If these four princes were not dead, what kind of man would he be? Is it cold or sunny? Is it indifferent or a man with a gentle smile

Ling Xueman guessed, unknowingly, he followed the brigade to a very large courtyard in the back hall. Two laurel trees in front of the courtyard, the flowers were blooming beautifully at the moment, and the fragrance was overflowing, making the whole air fresh.

Three gilded large handwritten plaques are hung on the courtyard gate: Shushui Garden.

Some people say that the fragrance is timeless and beautiful, and Vipshop can know it, which means that the fragrance leaves the water.

Ling Xueman raised her eyes and looked at the three words "Shuiyuan" intently, with a smile overflowing from the corner of her mouth.

Presumably, the four princes, Mo Qihan, are also elegant people! unfortunately…

Ling Xueman shook his head lightly, no matter what kind of man he was, he was gone, and had no real relationship with her anymore!

When she came back to her senses, she was the last one, and now she was farther away from the brigade. She was so frightened that she hurriedly lifted the skirt and trot to follow.

Turning around two corridors and passing through three gates, hundreds of civil and military officials all knelt outside the door. Mo Yuming, the queen, Mo Qiyan, Mo Qilin, and a few princes and princes who had never made their heads stepped into Mo Qihan. Bedroom.

Ling Xueman was stumbling at the door, poking her head in from time to time. She really didn’t know when she should go in. In fact, she was unwilling to let her see a strange and dead person, just for the sake of She said that before she saved her life. Thinking about it, she was unlucky enough. She would marry as soon as she traversed, and she would become a widow as soon as she traversed. It didn’t matter that she should be buried with a living person. What a bad habit? !

With thousands of thoughts, there was a figure in front of him, Ling Xueman instinctively raised his eyes, it was the second prince Mo Qiyan!

Mo Qiyan glanced at Ling Xueman faintly, with a moderate voice, and said without a trace of emotion: "Four princesses, my father is calling you in!"

"Ah? Oh, okay, I'll go." Ling Xue responded in a dazed manner, raising his heel to enter.

A young man lay upright on the wide bed, with a handsome face, closed eyes, long thick eyelashes hanging down, a handsome face without any blemishes, pale almost transparent, nose high, and moderately thick lips closed together. , The whole person looks lifeless.

Gorgeous brocade clothes, prince’s clothes, neatly arranged, if he didn’t know that the man in front of him was dead, Ling Xueman would think that he was just asleep and would wake up soon, his eyes closed slightly, imagining if he What kind of style should it be to stand in front of her alive

"Four princesses, this is your husband, have you noted his appearance?" Mo Yuming's choked voice sounded sadly, and Ling Xueman nodded in a daze, "Go back to the emperor, take it down."

"Yeah. Go down, I and the queen will accompany Han'er again!"

"Yes!"

The tree on the Zhizhi kept screaming, the weather in July was hot and windless, and he kneeled in the courtyard, full of sadness. It made Ling Xueman feel very depressed, as if he was about to suffocate, and feel uncomfortable.

Half an hour later, Xitang was replaced by a mourning hall. The red silk was removed and replaced with a black and white account. Ling Xueman solemnly made Ling Xueman want to escape, but couldn't take a step and couldn't say a word.

The bright red wedding dress on her body was removed, and Ling Xueman, who was dressed in linen clothes, was again arranged to kneel in front of the mourning hall.

And Mo Qihan's corpse has also been buried in a black sandalwood coffin.

A group of people came forward to worship, Ling Xueman kept kowtow in return like a puppet, grumbled with hunger, but she didn't dare to mention it, so she had to endure it until night fell and the emperor and queen returned to the palace. Baiguan left, leaving Mo Qiyan and other five brothers and Mo Lixuan.

Ling Xueman kept kneeling without dripping water for a day. At this moment, he was already dizzy. Although these five brothers were all top-notch men, how could she bother to appreciate it

Ling Xueman asked pitifully, "Is there anything to eat and drink?"

"Get up and sit for a while, I'll ask someone to prepare food for you." Mo Qiyan's indifferent tone couldn't hear any emotions. After speaking, he turned and walked out of the mourning hall.

With just this sentence, Ling Xueman was so touched, her nose was sore, she almost shed tears, hurriedly wiped her eyes with her hand, and tried to stand up, only to find that her legs and feet were numb!

Upon seeing this, Mo Qilin subconsciously stretched out his hand to pull Ling Xueman up, stretched out into the air, but felt wrong, retracted his hand to the maid on both sides and said coldly: "Don't you wink? Don't you help the princess?"

The two maids were very frightened, and hurriedly said, "Yes, Fifth Prince!"

Ling Xueman was finally supported and sat on the soft chair, rubbing his soft legs and feet. The original grief was pretended, but now it is really endless grief!

Looking at the half-elder child who was still kneeling on the ground straight, Ling Xue was extremely unbearable. Mo Lixuan's appearance was eighth similar to Mo Qiyan. At only nine years old, he was already an extremely beautiful boy. At this moment, he looked solemnly at Mo Qihan's coffin without saying a word.

"Little brother, sit down for a while and then kneel." Ling Xueman waited for the soreness on her legs to ease, got up and walked to the side of Mo Lixuan and squatted down, and said kindly.

Unexpectedly, Mo Lixuan looked at her in astonishment, his eyes widened, her shadow reflected in the bright black pupils.

Ling Xueman was confused. She couldn't react when her brain was short-circuited. She looked at the four brothers standing there in a daze, and stuttered: "This little, he is the little brother, is he dumb?"

Ling Xueman asked this because she hadn't heard him say a word since she saw Mo Lixuan kneeling here.

But what she said caused the four brothers to look even more shocked. Among them, the youngest Seventh Prince Mo Qiyu could stuff two eggs with his mouth open. The other three were fairly calm. After being shocked, they shook their heads slightly.

But after Mo Qiyu was surprised, he jumped out, "Fifth brother, is her brain abnormal?"

"Seventh brother!"

After Mo Qilin let out a low rebuke, he hurriedly turned his eyes to look at Ling Xueman. As expected, his face was so dark that he wanted to eat people. He almost stared at Mo Qiyu with gnashing teeth and said: "You are not normal!"

"Hey, even if you are the survivor of my fourth brother now, you can't be so rude, right?" Mo Qiyu is 18 years old this year, at the age of impulsiveness, so he glared back and said unceremoniously.

"Seventh brother!" Mo Qilin said slightly, "The fourth brother's bones are not cold, and the fourth sister-in-law just got married. Naturally, he doesn't understand the rules, so let's say a few words!"

A flash of pride flashed in Ling Xueman's eyes, but she was not stupid, and she knew how to accept as soon as she saw the steps, so she pulled the corner of her lower lip lightly and said politely, "Thank you, Lord Fifth, for your understanding!"

Mo Qilin nodded slightly, and faintly reminded: "Sister-in-law, Li Xuannai is the son of the second elder brother. Now that you have adopted the name of the fourth elder brother, you should have been her fourth aunt, and now you are his mother. , Not a little brother!"

"Yes, this generation can't be confused!" Sixth Prince Mo Qichen, who had not spoken, also followed.

mother

Ling Xueman's eyes twitched, she has a son? Hmm, a son who is still such an age! Okay, she agreed, so Ling Xueman stretched out her hands in front of Mo Lixuan helplessly and awkwardly, and said gently: "Lixuan, get up and rest, and kneel after dinner!"

"Thank you, mother!" Mo Lixuan's strong little face was touched, and he stood up with Ling Xueman's hand.

Mo Qiyu turned his face angrily, humming constantly with his nose, just not looking at Ling Xueman again.

Ling Xueman took Mo Lixuan to sit down, and then he had time to admire the handsome guy. Looking at them one by one, the man standing in the front had never said a word. The cold Zhang Jun's face was expressionless, and his eyes flashed in a trance. After a trace of irritation and disdain, Ling Xueman was startled, and instinctively told her that this man did not have much sincere sorrow for the death of the Fourth Prince!

After Ling Xueman was taken aback, he moved his gaze away without a trace, and fell on the three people behind.

The fifth prince, Mo Qilin, has a touch of rigidity and coldness in his beauty, and a bit of arrogance. The sixth prince Mo Qichen is gentle and elegant, and he is modest, uh, this seventh prince...

Ling Xueman actually wanted to laugh, but due to this occasion, he had to endure desperately, but he was just a young boy in the season. Although the sun was handsome, he didn't need such a small belly, right? She is not angry anymore, this certain man is still filled with righteous indignation!

When she lost her laughter, she shook her right hand and coughed lightly on her lips, holding back for a while to prevent herself from laughing. However, when she was sitting pretending to be upright, her eyes turned steadily, and she accidentally turned to Mo Qi. When Lin was on his face, he was shocked!

Mo Qilin was staring at Ling Xueman for an instant, and the playful expression was in full view. There was a trace of playfulness and exploration in his dark brown eyes, his eyes were too focused, even he himself did not notice.

Seeing Ling Xueman's frightened expression, Mo Qilin's absent mind returned to the basket. He turned his face away in embarrassment, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

Ling Xueman didn't dare to look around, but his heart jumped non-stop, a little like a deer bumping into it.

Finally, Mo Qiyan returned, followed by four maids, carrying a delicious dinner to the small dining room at the back of the mourning hall.

"Four princesses, you go to dinner, our brothers are watching here."

Ling Xueman smiled sincerely, "Thank you!"

Mo Qiyan was stunned for a moment, and shook his head, "The Fourth Princess is serious, go now."

"Oh, then, can I take Lixuan with me? He is still a child..."

"can."

"it is good."

At the dinner table, Ling Xueman devoured and ate, but Mo Lixuan's elegant and gentle manner did not even make a sound. He occasionally looked up at Ling Xueman, showing an expression of astonishment, but he didn't say a word.

But Ling Xueman blushed a little, and said in a slanderous voice, "I'm too hungry. If I'm hungry at night, I won't have to eat, so I eat more at a time."

"Mother, when you are hungry, you can order the dining room to prepare meals. Well, if your mother is newly married into the mansion, people probably don't pay much attention to it. So, if Li Xuan is hereditary as his father, that's it. The new master of the Four Princes’ Mansion, is it okay to let Lixuan take care of his mother in the future?" Mo Lixuan said earnestly, his tone of expression was not like a nine-year-old child at all, but like a mature man. Speaking to Ling Xueman with thoughtful words of protection.

Ling Xueman was startled, and said dumbly: "Li Xuan, you, are you true?"

"It's true." Mo Lixuan nodded, eyes bright.

His biological mother died young and he was a concubine. Although he was taken care of by his father Mo Qiyan in the palace, his father was often absent after all, so it is common for him to be bullied by the royal family. Now the royal grandfather has adopted him to the fourth. Uncle, although he is young, he is also a prince. He didn't feel much about Ling Xueman at first, but her kind care for him just now made him feel the long-lost maternal love, so he must take the responsibility of protecting and taking care of her!

Ling Xueman's wing-like eyelashes were stained with thick water mist, and her pupils became turbulent, and she stretched out her hand tremblingly, stroked Mo Lixuan's face, choked out, "Lixuan, we will take care of each other and care for each other in the future."

She has lived for 22 years in her previous life. No one has vowed to take care of her like this. In her rebirth, a nine-year-old child is so kind to her, making her like a leaf of duckweed in this strange time and space. Lived the spiritual pillar.

Mo Lixuan grinned his lips and smiled slightly, "Okay."

"By the way, Li Xuan, who is the prince with the colder face? I haven't heard him say anything." Ling Xueman lowered his voice and whispered softly.

Mo Lixuan thought for a while and said, "Mother, are you talking about the third uncle?"

"Three princes? Well, it seems to be him."

"The third uncle is very serious and indifferent. I hardly get close to him. I heard from my father that the third uncle is not the son of Grandpa Emperor, but the only son of Grandpa's brother Ling Wang. After the death of Ling Wang, Grandpa Emperor He adopted the third uncle and ranked third in terms of age."

"Oh, it turned out to be like this. Then why didn't you see the Great Lord?"

"Mother, don’t just mention your uncle casually. Grandpa Huang doesn’t like others’ mentions, because the uncle was originally a prince, but he suddenly died of illness three years ago. The fourth uncle has passed away again, and the emperor's grandfather... both the uncle and the fourth uncle were born to the emperor's grandmother, and the emperor's grandmother has only these two sons, and now there is no one..."

When Mo Lixuan said this, he sobbed softly, Ling Xueman sorted out the relationship, and couldn't help feeling sad. The queen looked gentle and virtuous, but two sons died in succession. No one could bear this. Pain!

The two were sad for a while, and then went out to keep guarding.

However, half an hour later, the eunuch in the palace hurriedly came here, looking anxious and panicked, "Minions see the five princes!"

"Father-in-law, please! Father-in-law is here, but something is going on?" Mo Qiyan asked lightly.

"The emperor's excessive grief caused fainting, and he called an imperial doctor to see him. He is now sober, and the emperor can't let go of the four princes. Now he announces that the five princes have come to the Taimiao to pray for the four princes in front of their ancestors!"

"The guard tonight..."

"The emperor can just order the little prince and the four queens to guard the spirits!"

"Okay, I'll go right away when I wait!"

After Mo Qiyan confessed in detail, he left with the other four people.

In the mourning hall of Nuo Da's Shushui Garden, only a group of people from the Four Palaces were left kneeling behind, with Ling Xueman and Mo Lixuan kneeling in front of them.

At night, like a large black net, swallowing all the light, under the night of the Four Palaces, there are white lanterns hanging everywhere, quiet and strange.

The weather suddenly became gloomy, the wind was blowing, and the rustling of branches was blowing, which added a terrible look to this deathly breath of Shushui Garden.

"boom--"

A thunder broke through the air, and the trembling Ling Xueman shivered a few times. He sat down on the soft cushion, her small face pale, and she subconsciously glanced at the black coffin before making a loud "Ah!" Yelled, and then kept shaking.

"Mother!"

Mo Lixuan called, lightly held Ling Xueman's arm, and comforted: "Mother, don't be afraid, today is the Chinese Valentine's Day, thunder and rain are normal, don't call, lest you disturb the father!"

"I...I, Li Xuan, I'm afraid, it's late at night, staying in this place where the dead are parked, and there is wind and thunder, I..."

Ling Xueman's mouth was blocked by Mo Lixuan eagerly reaching out, and lowered her voice and said, "Mother, be careful! This is not in the homes of ordinary people, this is a royal family. If you say something wrong, you will Catastrophe is imminent!"

After a burst of lightning and thunder, a patter of light rain finally started.

In the rain and fog, the Fragrant Altar House located at the southeast corner of the Four Kings Mansion was as quiet and terribly quiet as before.

Here is the forbidden area of the Four Kings Mansion.

No one dares to step into the three-meter radius of the incense altar, and offenders will die without a place to be buried.

It is said that after seeing the Fengshui of the Four Kings' Mansion three years ago, a master of profound knowledge built this incense altar for the four princes in the southeast corner to enshrine the ancestors of the Mo family in order to renew the life of the sick and frail four princes.

At this moment, the Fragrant Altar House was standing in the rain, and its mysterious darkness was like a big hand full of magic, pinching the necks of all the guards, making them feel suffocated and scared.

The original life was renewed, but now the four princes have passed away. What does this mean

However, no one dared to take a step privately, because there were countless hidden weapons in the surrounding area, and anyone who wanted to enter would definitely die.
