The Spring Festival was approaching in a flash, and the palace began to get busy, cleaning, decorating, and preparing for the New Year.
However, these are all butlers and servants busy, and it has nothing to do with Ling Xueman, her task is to eat and sleep, sleep and eat, accompany the night at night, and have fun during the day.
The concubine was still the same bold, even though the two of them were almost exposed that night because of the footsteps, but the next night, her concubine who was not afraid of death came again, and even more courageously smuggled her out of the house and went to an unknown person. In the place, holding her happily soaked in the hot spring for the first time in her life.
The palace banquet of the Chinese New Year was always attended by the emperor’s relatives and relatives. During the banquet, Ling Xueman saw the second and third princesses again, but this time the two women unexpectedly did not say anything against each other, only treating her as a stranger. Like people, Ling Xueman was also happy, mixing with Concubine Ya, and the two of them ate and drank, chatting and laughing.
Once the Spring Festival is over, it will soon be the Lantern Festival on the 15th of the first lunar month.
According to the past practice, the palace will hold a lantern guessing activity in the Royal Garden.
Of course, such activities are all held at night. It is a great thing to use the moonlight to chant poems to make a difference, to make wine and talk, and to add a guess!
Tonight’s imperial garden is well-dressed, colored silk is hung around the garden, chrysanthemums, azaleas, camellias, Suxin waxberry, triangle flowers, bird of paradise, poinsettia and many other bright flowers blooming in full bloom. , Dotted the entire imperial garden, all kinds of floral scents mixed together, overflowing the air.
Every not far, there is a lantern hung on the colored silk. It is colorful and beautiful, and there is a riddle on the surface of the lantern. The answer is attached to the inside of the lantern for the families of high-ranking officials and above. The royal relatives guessed riddles and made fun.
Of course, not only the emperor Mo Yuming and the empress were present on such occasions, but also the concubines and other concubines were also present. There were countless emperors and grandchildren. The children ran and played in the garden, laughing, and full of excitement.
"Hey, Sister-in-law, quickly guess this, the emperor said, whoever guesses this will be rewarded!" Concubine Mo Ya waved to Ling Xueman who was running away and shouted.
Ling Xueman walked around the small flower bed, looked up at the lantern, and asked, "What kind of mystery? What reward does the emperor give?"
"Hehe, that depends on whether you can guess! Father said that the reward is great, and that if either of us guesses right, we will definitely be happy to hear the reward." Mo Yafei said excitedly.
"Oh? So mysterious?"
Ling Xueman's curiosity was aroused, and he hurriedly looked at the riddle: bones, skulls, eyes, bones, feet, hands and bones vest. "Ahem, what is this?"
"I still want to ask what you are? I can't guess." Mo Yafei shook her head and said depressed.
"Uh, who came up with this riddle? It's not interesting enough, there is no hint, it's specifically for embarrassing people!" Ling Xueman thought for a while and couldn't help complaining.
"Haha, how's it going? I'm just saying that Sister-in-law must not be able to guess it, right?"
A beating voice sounded behind him, Ling Xueman didn't need to turn his head, just listen to the footsteps and knew how many people had come, and who was talking about her!
Fists raised, shook three times, and turned around, smiling like a flower: "Little Seven Prince, guess what, because my head hit a pig's head, I can’t guess it because I’m stupid, what about you? Guess it for me!"
"Hahaha!"
Mo Qilin, Mo Qichen, and Mo Qiyan who followed one after another all laughed. Mo Qiyu blushed and said unconvinced: "Guess it!"
Looking forward, Mo Qiyu shook his head and said, "Bone skull, skull, eyes, bone, foot, hand and bone vest. Isn't this the white bone spirit?"
"Bone Spirit?"
Everyone was surprised, and Mo Qiyan twitched his lips and said, "Little Qi, isn't this a riddle from the emperor father? Does the emperor know the bone spirits in ghosts and spirits?"
"Uh..." Mo Qiyuyan said with a smack, "Father never read this kind of miscellaneous books."
"Hahaha!" Ling Xueman laughed wildly, out of breath, pointing to Mo Qiyu's nose with one hand, and pressing the painful stomach with one hand, and said: "Yuyu, you really have you, even the bones It can be made! It looks like this pig hit a tree, you hit a pig!"
"Ahem!" Concubine Mo Ya squatted on the ground with a smile, "Seven brothers really know how to guess!"
"Manman, you! You die girl, you will hurt me!" Mo Qiyu almost fainted.
Ling Xueman shook his head triumphantly, grimacing in succession, teasing: "Tell you to dare to look down on me again, haha, I'm your nemesis, God sent me specifically to piss you off!"
Mo Qilin groaned for a while, his eyes lit up, and he smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, I guessed it, do you want to know the answer? If you know the answer, you can tell the emperor, you guessed it, so that's interesting. Your reward is yours!"
"Uh, there are such good things?" Ling Xueman closed his grimace, stunned, and then made another wary expression, "Fifth Prince, would you tell me so kindly? You must have some purpose!"
"Haha, I have a purpose, and that is to write off the gambling account in front of us, how about it?" Mo Qilin said with a light smile.
"Huh? Then I have to think about it, and see if it's worthwhile!" Ling Xueman frowned, thinking about it.
However, Mo Qiyan also smiled suddenly: "Four Queens, I guessed it too, do you exchange terms with me?"
"Huh?" Ling Xueman was stunned again. Before she could ask carefully, Mo Qichen patted his thigh and shouted with bright eyes: "Sister-in-law, I also know the answer!"
"What? You all guessed it? Could it be that I, Yafei and Yuyu are fools?" Ling Xueman's face twitched!
"Then what, Sister-in-law, you can just call you an idiot, don't pick me up!" Concubine Mo Ya was depressed and said with a black face.
Mo Qiyu also protested, "That's it!"
"Cut, don't dare to admit it!" Ling Xueman despised the two of them, glanced at Mo Lixuan who was sitting at the wine table, and hurriedly waved with joy: "Lixuan! Xuan'er, come here!" "
Mo Lixuan heard the prestige, stood up and walked over with a smile, "Mother, what's the matter?"
"Come on, guess the riddle." Ling Xueman pointed to the lantern and said expectantly.
Mo Lixuan read it silently twice, then smiled softly, "Mother, spring is coming after the Chinese New Year, and summer is coming soon, when Xuan'er will take you to the lake to play."
"Huh?" Ling Xueman was confused, her mouth opened, the boss said, "Son, I will let you guess the riddle!"
"Mother, but Xuan'er thought of this." Mo Lixuan continued to laugh.
Mo Qiyan was angry and laughed, "Xuan'er, you are going to spoil your father's good deeds!"
At the same time, the Fragrant Altar of the Four Kings Palace was inside.
Lin Mengqing was ready to go, waiting for Mo Qihan's final order.
Wuji stepped in, arching his hands with joy: "Master, it's done. The Third Prince has left the Three Princes Mansion and entered the palace. The spy reported that watching the Three Princes walking, he seemed to have no serious illness. He only brought four. Guards, one of them is the Mo Qing who is disguised by Young Master Lin."
"Oh? Humph, that's fine." Mo Qi curled his lips in the cold and looked at Lin Mengqing in the appearance of the Third Prince's personal guard, changed his face with that perfect one, nodded, and said: "Meng Qing , Be careful, as soon as you get the letter from Mo Qiming, Bai Jingan, and He Zhixin who have communicated with each other, you will immediately retreat, and safety is the top priority."
"Well, I see, I cherish my life." Lin Mengqing smiled relaxedly.
"Well, Wuji, you go to meet Mengqing!"
"Yes, master!"
Two black shadows ran at a very fast speed in the deep night. At a distance of five feet from the Three Kings Palace, Wu Ji jumped away. From the back wall, avoiding the guards on patrol, they sneaked into the Three Kings Palace. Just a few ups and downs. He was on a roof, and this room was naturally Mo Qiming's study room that they had already explored.
Lin Mengqing entered through the gate of the Three Princes' Palace in an open manner, and then went to the study unimpeded all the way. From the entrance of the study, two guards asked, "Master Mo, didn't you go with the prince?"
"The master sent me back to fetch things, so you just stay outside." Lin Mengqing left a cold sentence in the usual manner of speaking in Mo Qing, and then went into the study.
So important things, with Mo Qiming's cunning, it is naturally impossible to hide them on the surface. There are mechanisms hidden in this study, but where will they be
Lin Mengqing's sharp eyes quickly scanned around, looking for something that might be a mechanism--
At this time, there was still laughter in the imperial garden.
"Xuan'er, your kid is really bad! Since you recognized this girl as a mother, you kicked all the emperors!" Mo Qilin followed Mo Qiyan's words with an angrily smile.
"No, the emperors are misunderstood. Xuan'er just wants to take her mother to play, there is no other meaning." Mo Lixuan smiled innocently, blinking his eyes lightly, with a look of no intention.
Ling Xueman's thumb and index finger pressed "eight" on his chin, watching the riddle on the lantern, listening to Mo Lixuan's unusual words, and then listening to Mo Qiyan and Mo Qilin's words, it seemed... Mo Lixuan was there. Hinting what her mystery is!
What will it be in the lake in summer? fish? Impossible, does not match those two sentences on the mystery, shrimp? It's impossible! crab
Ling Xueman was extremely excited, and her clear eyes were shining and dazzling. She glanced at Mo Qiyan and smiled extremely evilly, "How can we Xuan'er be bad? He is the cutest in the world. My son, haha! Slowly owe the gambling debts of the four of you, be careful, I will come to collect the bills one by one tomorrow!"
"Sister-in-law, look at your expression, do you know?" Mo Qiyu asked puzzledly.
"That is, how can my head compare with your head that was hit by a pig?" Ling Xueman still didn't forget to jokingly said when he was proud.
Mo Qiyu blushed again, his fists clenched tightly, and gritted his teeth and said, "You didn't know until Xuan'er reminded you?"
"That's better than you, you have heard Xuan'er's reminder, then guess!" Ling Xueman choked unconvinced.
Mo Qiyu was so angry that he had to refute, Mo Qiming's voice suddenly sounded from the sides of several people--
"Little Qi, what are you doing?"
After hearing the sound, Ling Xueman laughed first: "Yuyu is out of control now, three princes, don't you dare to provoke him!"
"Three brothers!"
"Second brother!"
"Uncle San!"
This brother, uncle and nephew had finished seeing the gift, Mo Qiyu stared at Ling Xueman with a cold eye, and roared, "You girl is crazy!"
Mo Qiming was a little puzzled, and chuckled, "What's the matter? I heard Xiao Qiqi stomping and screaming from afar."
"Hehe, three princes, go and ask Xiao Qi, I'm going to get the reward!" Ling Xueman blinked playfully before pulling Concubine Moya into a flash.
Mo Qiyan retracted the soft light that was staring at Ling Xueman, looked at Mo Qiming, and asked, "The third brother is not in good health, why did he enter the palace again?"
"It's okay, I feel better after taking the medicine, so I think about the excitement in the palace tonight. I stayed in the palace for a few days and worry about it. I came to the palace to relax, cough and cough..." Mo Qiming said lightly, but the voice fell off , Still couldn't help but coughed a few times.
"Third brother, although it's already in spring, it's still windy outside. Why don't you sit down and drink some hot tea to get warm." Mo Qichen said with concern.
"Well, I'll go sit there." Mo Qiming pulled his lower lip lightly, nodded, and was supported by the little eunuch who followed and walked towards the wine table.
Wherever he looked, Ling Xueman was talking to Mo Yuming with an open eyebrow and a smile, dancing with excitement, Mo Yuming also had a smile on his face, and that smile fell into his eyes, and a bit of coldness and hatred immediately appeared. Yi, the vacant fists turned into tight squeezes, so why can their father and son enjoy the family happiness? Why are they loving each other
For a moment of impulse, he almost wanted to step forward and question the man with a high smile on his face. Do you remember that there was a woman named Yuwei 30 years ago
"Lord!" The little eunuch who supported him felt the coldness of his whole body, calling out instinctively.
Mo Qiming's brain stagnated, and slowly closed his eyes, forcing himself to calm down, and when he opened his eyes again, his habitual indifference was restored in his eyes, as if the hatred just now was just an illusion.
Continue to walk forward slowly, Ling Xueman's silver bell-like laughter came into his ears, and a complex hesitant color flashed in Mo Qiming's eyes, thinking of tonight's plan, his heart suddenly choked, he really wanted to take her. ? If she knows everything in the future, will she, will she... hate him
But the man’s laughter floated over at the same time, and there was also the laughter of Empress Liang Qingcheng. This harshness made his steps stagnate again, and his eyes became cold again in an instant. No, he can’t be because of his children’s personal affection, because he’s right. She was a little moved and caring, so she gave up his plan!
He has been thinking about it for many years, how can he change because of a woman
Mo Yuming, Liang Qingcheng, I will not only allow you to bear the pain of losing your child, but also take you away, leaving you with nothing, and paying the price of blood for what you did back then!
Continue to step forward, when he was two feet away, Mo Qiming suddenly thought of something. He stopped busy and whispered to the little eunuch: "Get the king's guard Mo Qing, go quickly. !"
Three palaces.
In the study, Lin Mengqing tried all four walls without any abnormalities. He frowned and looked at the things on the desk again. They were all four common study treasures, manuscripts and the like, and the bookshelf was turned over by him again. Once again, there are too many books, it is really difficult to find useful things, and he believes that it will never be so simple to put it in a bright place, there must be a dark room!
Not in the wall, is it...under the ground
Lin Mengqing's eyes tightened, she looked at the ground, and when she scanned the corner of the table, she suddenly noticed a small raised button on the corner of the table!
Her eyes suddenly brightened, Lin Mengqing walked over in two steps, stretched out her hand and pressed it down, but unexpectedly, this button was actually a hidden weapon, and three black and poisonous short arrows were shot sharply on top, as fast as lightning. Lin Mengqing’s ear power was amazing, and when she heard something wrong, she dodged in a hurry, and jumped back two meters, causing the three poisonous arrows to hit the ground, and the arrows went straight to the center of the earth!
He breathed in secretly. This time Lin Mengqing didn't dare to be careless, walked back to the table lightly, squatted slightly, opened his eyes and looked carefully, only to find that there was a tiny bit hidden under the button just now. Black button!
Crossing his heart, Lin Mengqing stretched out his fingers and pressed it down without hesitation, only to hear a slight sound, a piece of marble had moved on the ground behind him! When they were all removed, the size was just right for one person to go down. Lin Mengqing looked into the entrance. Under a stone ladder, there was a corridor. I don’t know where it leads. On both sides of the stone wall, one meter high, each is embedded with a night pearl. Light up the whole aisle, and then go inside, he can't see clearly, unless he looks down!
Do not enter the tiger's den, how can you win!
Lin Mengqing's eyes sank, resolutely jumped in, and got off the stone ladder. Lin Mengqing did not rush forward. He looked carefree, but he looked at the stone walls on the left and right, looking for the switch to close the marble slab, and then searched carefully. Once again, there was nothing that looked like a switch, so I couldn’t help but focus on the two night pearls. I remember that Master once talked about his adventures in Nanzhao, saying that someone designed to use the night pearl as a darkroom mechanism. So, is it possible that these two night pearls
In the absence of a second possibility, Lin Mengqing reached out and touched the Ye Mingzhu on the stone wall on the left. However, the marble on the top remained unchanged, frowning, and Lin Mengqing touched the Ye Mingzhu on the right again, which moved the marble slab. , Slowly closed the underground entrance, Lin Mengqing was surprised and delighted, in order to avoid being locked inside and unable to get out, he was busy and touched the left wall again. Fortunately, the marble slab was moved away again. That is, one is on and the other is off.
Rest assured and closed again, Lin Mengqing hurried forward to find out where the secret path leads. Fortunately, there is no hidden weapon in this secret path. He went on without incident until there was no road in front of him. There was another stone wall, Lin Mengqing knew that this was another secret way. The mechanism here was obvious. Lin Mengqing pressed it down without hesitation. The stone door slowly opened, and a secret room suddenly appeared in front of him. He quickly stepped in and reflected. What you see is an altar table, and on the wall behind the altar table, there is a picture of a beautiful woman. The woman in the painting is dressed in a beautiful pink palace dress, leaning on the railing of the pavilion, with picturesque brows and a peach-like face. The posture of the country is extremely beautiful.
Lin Mengqing was dumbfounded, who is this woman? Can be hung in such a secret stone room by Mo Qiming, he must be someone who has something to do with him, do you want to steal this painting back and let the brother look at it
Thinking about it, he stretched out his hand to pick the painting, stretched it out into the air, and paused. After this picking, Mo Qiming found that someone had come. Isn't it a horror
Thinking of this, Lin Mengqing stared at the portrait, observing the face, expression, clothing, and background of the woman in the painting. With his unforgettable ability to change appearance, he engraved it in just a few minutes. In my mind, he pursed his lips and smiled triumphantly, then turned around, looking for another exit from this secret room, who knows--
Suddenly, a small footstep sounded outside the stone room. Listen to the source of the sound, not the secret way when he came, but just outside the stone room!
Lin Mengqing did not dare to hesitate any more, quickly exited the stone room, pressed the mechanism to close the stone door, and then quickly retreated to the road, rushed to the stone ladder, stretched out his hand to touch the night pearl on the left wall, but heard a rushing voice accompanied by it. Questioning, "You said you saw me come in for a while?"
Mo Qing turned back!
Lin Mengqing screamed uncomfortably. Before he could think of a way to get out, Mo Qing's voice sounded again, "Get people up and around! Now that he has come in, the culprit must still be there!"
"Yes!"
There was a messy sound, Lin Mengqing tightened her brows, pressed her body against the stone wall, leaned her right hand into her arms, and took out a handful of pear needles, waiting for Mo Qing to open the marble slab, and then--
"Someone!"
"There are assassins!"
Suddenly the guards outside the study screamed, Mo Qing squatted down, holding the sword and preparing to press the mechanism's hand for a while, he rushed out!
Listening to this change, Lin Mengqing felt happy, and it must have been Wuji's plan to adjust the tiger away from the mountain!
Without hesitation, I hurriedly touched the Ye Mingzhu on the left wall. The marble slab slowly opened, and Lin Mengqing jumped up, without making any sound of agile movements, and then closed the marble slab calmly and calmly. This was from the back window of the study. Jumping out, taking advantage of the vast night, disappeared outside the Three Princes' Mansion without knowing it...
Mo Qing didn't chase the person, so he realized that he had been fooled, so he cursed secretly, hurriedly turned back to the study, opened the organ, went in and checked, but there was no one!
But Lin Mengqing and Wuji returned to Xiangtanju one after another. As soon as they entered the door, they tilted their chairs angrily and shouted, "I'm so thirsty!" He picked up the teapot on the table and took a sip at the spout. Drink it down.
Mo Qihan's mouth twitched and frowned, "Meng Qing, you are too rude!"
