East Palace.
Mo Qihan was sound asleep, and Wuji stood by the bed and whispered: "Master? Master, see you!"
"Huh?" Mo Qihan opened his haggard eyes, rubbed his eyebrows, and asked lazily, "Who wants to see this palace?"
"Back to the master, it's the second prince!" Wuji repeated again, and then whispered: "The slave looked at the second prince and seemed to be anxious, so he didn't dare to delay, and first come to the master!"
"Please wait for the second prince in the interior hall and serve tea!"
"Yes, master!"
Mo Qihan sat up, slowed down, got out of bed and stretched out his arms, Wuhen busy waiting to change and freshen up, put on an off-white silk brocade shirt, a bunch of jade belts of the same color around his waist, and a long body in copper. After standing in front of the mirror, he just stepped out of the bedroom and walked to the inner hall.
"Second brother!"
With a clear voice with a little joy, Mo Qiyan put down the tea bowl in his hand, got up to meet the person, smiled faintly, and said, "I have seen your Royal Highness!"
"Second brother!" Mo Qihan stepped closer, clasped Mo Qiyan's hand, and said displeasedly: "Second brother, this is the brother of Zhesha, so it's fine to call me fourth brother in private."
Mo Qiyan was stunned, seeing that Mo Qihan didn't seem to be joking, and curled his eyebrows slightly, "Fourth brother!"
"Hehe, okay, second brother, please sit down! These few days have been busy, so I didn't even bother to go to the second brother's mansion to see a few little nephews. I must go there again when I am free." Mo Qihan smiled joyfully. Tao.
"Where, if the fourth brother wants to see a few dogs, I can bring them into the palace to visit him. The fourth brother has only come into contact with the government soon, so he must pay attention to his body and don't get tired." Mo Qiyan stretched his face and took a look. Mo Qihan said concerned.
Mo Qihan nodded, "Thank you brother for remembering, my body is much stronger now than before, it doesn't matter." He pointed to the pear chair, "Second brother, please sit down!"
"it is good!"
"Second brother, I have temporarily banned Xuan'er in the Fourth Prince's Mansion. If Second Brother thinks about Xuan'er, can he bear it for a while?" Mo Qihan said with a raised eyebrow.
Mo Qiyan froze before frowning and said, "Fourth brother, I haven't seen Xuan'er in the palace these few days, it's you..."
"Yes, I confess that Xuan'er stayed with Manman in the palace. The two of them have a good relationship. As long as Xuan'er does not leave the mansion, Manman will not make trouble to go out." Mo Qihan simply explained, smart as he is. Naturally, I know what Mo Qiyan came to see him, so--
Hearing this, Mo Qiyan was naturally startled again, and looked at Mo Qihan thoughtfully, "Fourth brother, you said Manman...you mean, you didn’t plan to deal with Manman, no, it’s his younger brother and sister and... Brother?"
"Second brother, what do you think?" Mo Qihan asked with a smile.
"Fourth brother..." Mo Qiyan wrinkled his brows tightly, fixedly watching Mo Qihan for a long time, and said softly, "Fourth brother, second brother asks you, do you like Manman? Concubine, where are you going to put her? About me and her, do you believe it?"
"Second brother, those are things between me and Manman. I have my own plans. I believe part of the rumors, but I didn’t want to question my second brother. My second brother came to see me today, and it’s not myself, but Are you worried about what I will do with the Long Man?" Mo Qihan gradually put away his smile and said with a serious face.
Mo Qiyan's eyes tightened, and he looked directly at Mo Qihan and said, "Yes, I want to ask you, what do you want to do with Manman? Does she know that you are resurrected and will succeed? She knows you want to succeed. Abandon her and make another queen?"
"I don't know, she doesn't know anything." Mo Qihan lowered her eyes slightly, stared at the tea bowl in her hand, paused for a while, suddenly raised her eyes to look at Mo Qiyan, and asked straightforwardly: "Second brother likes Manman. Huh?"
"Is the fourth brother asking because of rumors?" Mo Qiyan pulled his lips slightly and asked with a smile, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes.
"No, I asked because of my own question." Mo Qihan shook his head.
Mo Qiyan pressed his lips tightly and looked at Mo Qihan for a while. After a long time, he said with certainty: "Since the fourth brother asks, I will tell you frankly, I like Manman, and I like it very much. It is the throne and the supreme right. It is unnecessary for you to talk about it. With the rumor that is full of the city, the second brother begs you for one thing. Please give her to me. You can take all the crimes. By holding on to my head, you can deprive me of the title, or you can demote me as a commoner, but please don't punish her. What kind of person the second brother is, the fourth brother should be clear about him, and he is passionate about Manman. It's only a gift."
"Second brother!"
Mo Qihan tangled his eyebrows, got up, with his hands folded, he took two steps forward and paced back, holding back his emotions, and said in a low voice: "Second brother, I will not pursue you, but I will never Promise to let Manman to you!"
"Why? She is your concubine, but you have never seen her since you returned to Beijing. You are the crown prince, and you will soon be the emperor. There are three thousand beauties in the harem. The wife is excluded, you don’t have her in your heart, why do you want to take her? Do you have to leave her a seat in the harem? Is it a small promise or always? Isn’t she your savior? It’s up to her to save her. For the sake of your life, do you have the heart to treat her like this?"
Facing Mo Qiyan's excited voice, Mo Qihan shifted his eyes and cast his eyes outside the window linden. The afternoon sun shone a little golden light, refracting the incoming light beam, and slightly pierced his eyes.
There was silence. For a long time, he didn't answer a word, and Mo Qiyan didn't say a word again.
Behind him, there was a sudden voice, Mo Qihan blinked his eyes, turned his body slightly, but was surprised, "Second brother, what are you doing?"
Mo Qiyan knelt on his knees, eyes burning red, looking at Mo Qihan, and pleadingly said: "Fourth brother, if you still recognize me as your second brother, just tell me frankly, how do you want to treat Manman? Nothing is wrong. It is all my fault. I shouldn’t like my younger siblings. It’s me who makes you faceless. You don’t have to be impeded by brotherhood. Brother’s righteousness will not be held on me. I am willing to accept you and my father. Whatever the emperor does, I only beg you, please let go of Manman! She is innocent!"
"Second brother, get up first!"
"No! Unless you promise me the fourth brother!" Mo Qiyan insisted.
Mo Qihan tightened his ten fingers, took a deep breath, stared at Mo Qiyan, every word hit Mo Qiyan's heart like a heavy bomb, "Second brother, I know you and the beginning and end of Manman. Because I have always been by Manman's side! I put Manman in the position of the lord of the harem, my queen is the only one who can do it, and it can only be her! Because I love her, she is my woman long ago, and she loves me too , I promised her to be monogamous for her life, so I am paving the road and bridge for this day step by step. What you heard today is true, but it is also false. I will not hurt her, nor will I If you are willing to hurt her, brother, thank you brother for everything you have done for Manman!"
Kneeling heavily, the two brothers looked at each other, Mo Qihan's eyebrows were deep furrowed, and his eyes were burning. Mo Qiyan stared at his eyes dumbfoundedly. It took him a long time to recover before he was shocked to see Mo Qihan kneeling. In front of him, he blurted out quickly: "Fourth brother, you are the prince, how can you kneel on me?"
The two stood facing each other. Mo Qiyan slowly digested what he had just heard. His eyes were filled with shock and injury, and his lips trembled a few times before he made a sound, "Fourth brother, what are you saying is true?" Manman... Manman her, she has made up with you? She rejected me because the man she loves is you?"
"Yes!" Mo Qihan nodded heavily. Although he couldn't bear to tell the truth to Mo Qiyan, how could he hide it from him
Mo Qiyan staggered back, his state of mind at the moment was hard to say! It was late. It turned out to be late at the beginning. Even if he promised her in Taolin, there will be no results... But at least, there will be a process... It was him, and he ruined her ignorant love for him...
"Did you really allow her to live forever?" Mo Qiyan closed his eyes deeply, desperately holding back the water vapor that was about to glow in his eyes, and turned his body sideways.
"Yes, she wants the purest love, I will give it to her." Mo Qihan was also very sad, why should their brothers fall in love with the same woman
"You are better than me, she...should love you...should love you, you are still her righteous husband..." Mo Qiyan grinned his lips, but couldn't help but blur his vision with tears, then turned around and quickly lifted up She wiped her eyes indiscriminately and forced a smile, "Fourth brother, since Longman chose you, I have nothing to be unwilling to do. In this way, you won't hurt her, and I'm relieved."
Mo Qihan shook his head, "No, second brother, Manman didn't know that I was her husband!"
"what?"
Mo Qiyan shook, turned around abruptly, eyes blushing, and asked urgently: "What do you mean? By the way, you said Manman would be your queen, why did you say that this morning..."
"Second brother, this is a long story. Brother Rong will tell you carefully." Mo Qihan looked stern and pointed to the chair and said, "Second brother, let's sit down and say."
"it is good."
Four palaces.
Ling Xueman fell asleep for a day without eating or drinking. Chuntang Qiuyue was worried. Mo Lixuan stood silently in front of the bed. It was not until sunset in the afternoon when Ling Xueman woke up, but he glanced at a few people and said nothing.
Today, she stole into the secret passage of the Fourth Prince’s study, and actually led to Xiangtanju. She actually saw a portrait of a beauty in a bedroom, and then was discovered. She ran away and ran to the gate, only to find it again. There were a lot of big guards at the gate forbidding her to go out. There was a disturbance, and the second princess happened to be here, only to realize that the emperor had put her under house arrest in the Fourth Prince's Mansion, and Mo Qiyan might be punished because of her!
She doesn't understand, she doesn't understand anything, she doesn't know why she should be shut down, why her concubine didn't come to see her, what on earth is up to, can be more important than her!
"Mother, can you have some porridge? Xuan'er feed you!" Mo Lixuan took a spoonful and put it to Ling Xueman's mouth. The eleven-year-old was a little taller, and his face gradually became childish. At this moment, with red eyes, looking at Ling Xueman with begging eyes.
Ling Xue was even more saddened in her heart, her nose sour, tears fell, she opened her mouth gently, and drank the spoonful of porridge.
Chuntang Qiuyue breathed a sigh of relief and smiled happily.
Mo Lixuan was also very happy, and was busy feeding Ling Xueman spoon by spoon. Finally, a bowl of lotus leaf porridge came to the bottom. Mother made a few refreshing side dishes, can you get up and taste it?"
"Xuan'er, I don't want to eat anymore." Ling Xueman frowned, lying on the bed, not wanting to move.
"Mother!" Mo Lixuan pursed his lips, took Jinpa from Qiuyue's hand and gently wiped the soup stains on Ling Xueman's mouth, and softly persuaded: "Mother, eat a little bit, otherwise Xuan'er will be anxious. Don't you want a son anymore?"
"Xuan'er, I...I didn't want you, just..." Ling Xueman was speechless. If she left with her concubine, what would happen to Li Xuan? She promised to live with him forever...
"Manman girl!"
With a soft call, Granny Meihua came in and said with a smile: "Little prince, you all go out, I'll persuade Manman girl to eat."
"Mother-in-law?" Mo Lixuan was stunned, and immediately understood, and nodded hurriedly, "Yes, I'm annoying Granny!"
The door was closed, and Granny Meihua sat down in front of the bed and said with a smile: "Girl, get up and eat, you are full, a man who has the strength to see you!"
"Mother-in-law, don't mention him, I don't want to see you anymore." Ling Xue answered with a choked voice, turning her face away.
"Hehe, he didn't come last night, it is really impossible to come, think about it, now that the Ouchi guards sent by the emperor are staring so tightly, how can he get in? Isn't that a chance?" Mei Hua The mother-in-law said with a chuckle.
Ling Xueman narrowed her mouth, "Isn't he claiming that he has great magical powers? Didn't he say that there is no place in the world that he dared not go to?"
"Uh, this is true, but he is not a god, before he talks to the emperor about you, he can't be caught by the emperor to have a private meeting with you, so that the emperor will lose face, right?" His face twitched upwards, thinking and saying.
"Is he really talking to the emperor? What will happen then?" Ling Xueman was anxious all of a sudden, sat up and took Granny Mei's hand, "Mother-in-law, will the emperor kill him in a fit of anger?"
"No, the relationship between the emperor and your concubine is unusual, and he won't kill him. You can rest assured, your concubine has come to talk a little bit, saying that he must find a way to come tonight, he wants to see you healthy and healthy. Kang, look alive and kicking, otherwise he will be angry." Granny Meihua shook her head and frowned again.
Upon hearing this, Ling Xueman was immediately pleasantly surprised, "Really? Does my concubine say he must come tonight?"
"Really, so you hurried down to eat, your small body needs to be fat and fat, otherwise how can you give birth to your concubine?" Granny Meihua laughed and teased, and looked up and down Ling Xueman's body.
Ling Xueman's embarrassed face blushed, "Mother-in-law, what are you talking about? Who is giving birth to that bastard?"
"Uh, bastard? Cough cough..." Granny Meihua was choked, and then burst into laughter, "Well, don't give birth to that bastard, let that bastard find another woman to have a baby!"
"Huh? He dare!" Ling Xueman's eyes widened, aggressively.
Granny Meihua was ashamed and swallowed, "Okay, Manman, you are great, so you have the ability to cure that bastard."
"I'm so good, he comes as he wants, he just leaves if he wants to, don't allow me, don't allow me, oh--" Ling Xueman sighed, lifted the quilt off the bed, and shouted outside: "Chuntang Qiuyue Let’s have dinner!"
A round of Qingyue hung up in the night sky, Ling Xueman looked at the sky, and after asking Chuntang the time, she was secretly excited, took a petal bath, changed into her nightgown, and then sat on the bed and continued to wait.
Finally, the candlestick suddenly went out!
"mistress!"
Ling Xue was overjoyed. As soon as she got out of bed with her bare feet, she fell into a warm and familiar embrace, and Mo Qihan's joking voice sounded above her head, "Why, I really haven't seen this son for a day, like three autumns?"
"I hate it!" Ling Xueman snorted, pouting her small mouth, "Okay, you can laugh at me, I'm not promising. When I have a future, I'm afraid you will cry!"
"Hehe, then don't worry about it, that's it, I like it." Mo Qi smiled like a petting dog, and kissed Ling Xueman's forehead gently, "How fragrant, did you take a shower with petals?"
"Well, if you can stay with me like this all the time." Ling Xueman squashed her small mouth, looking at Mo Qihan with resentment, and moonlight hit him on the face so that she could see him a little bit more clearly. He couldn't help but raise his hand to stroke his face, complaining: "When will I be able to see your appearance completely?"
"Alright, I'll see it soon..." Mo Qihan sighed helplessly, hugged Ling Xueman tightly, distressed, "Manman, I'm sorry, I know you waited for me all night last night, but I really can't come. I can’t sleep, I’ve been thinking about you, I’m thinking about it...
"Concubine, I'm not making trouble. I know you have troubles, but I am so anxious. The emperor is shutting me up now. I don't know if I want to marry me to that cold-faced general. If it is true, what should I do? What? Concubine, let's really elope!" Ling Xueman started to be impatient again when she said it.
Mo Qihan frowned, "Manman, why did you think of this place? We don't need to elope, the emperor, he won't let you marry someone else, and now he won't let you out of the palace because I and the emperor are negotiating. As long as the talk is complete, he will give you to me."
"Really?" Ling Xueman asked with a smile.
"Really." Mo Qihan nodded.
"Well, then I'll wait with peace of mind." Ling Xueman poured the corners of his mouth happily, looking at Mo Qihan, but suddenly remembered another thing, and hurriedly asked: "Gotou, you and the fourth prince are good friends, then Do you know that he has a beautiful picture?"
"Beauty picture?" Mo Qihan frowned, "Is that the picture of the beauty you peeked in the bedroom of the Fourth Prince in Xiangtanju?"
"Yeah, do you know who that beauty is? It's not Liu Wutong, so which woman does he treasure? How do I look like it is..."
Ling Xueman paused and thought slowly, but Mo Qihan's eyes tightened, "Manman, do you know that woman?"
"I don't know, I just feel a bit like a person, not a specific appearance, just the feeling of the five senses..."
"Like who?"
Mo Qihan interrupted anxiously, staring at Ling Xueman, "Manman, who do you think that woman looks like?"
"Uh...like the third prince you don't like!" Ling Xueman stuck out his tongue, "this is my nonsense, don’t tell me, this is because I accidentally discovered that the fourth prince’s study has a secret way, but I didn’t expect it to lead to I live in the altar of incense, and I never expected to see that picture of beauty."
"Three princes!" Mo Qihan opened his eyes in astonishment, his brain turned quickly, why didn't he see it? Is it because he is too familiar with Mo Qiming? Or did you never expect that? What is the relationship between a woman who resembles Mo Qiming's appearance and Mo Qiming
"Yes...Yes." Ling Xueman was so horrified at Mo Qihan's overwhelming reaction, she couldn't help but lower her voice, "Hey, I, I haven't seen the Third Prince for a long time, don't be angry..."
Mo Qihan's messy thoughts were pulled back, and he smiled softly, "Manman, I'm not angry, I'm just a little surprised."
"Oh." Ling Xueman put her heart down, raised her small face and smiled radiantly, but then frowned slightly, wondering: "Concubine, why do you say that my husband hides the portraits of other women? Doesn't he like phoenix trees? Why isn’t that portrait of a Chinese phoenix tree?"
"Well, maybe that portrait is useful to the Four Princes." Mo Qihan thought about it and said perfunctorily, and couldn't help filing and reversing the case for himself. "Manman, the Four Princes definitely don't like phoenix trees, so stop talking nonsense. ."
"It's his business whether he likes it or not, I don't worry about it! Hehe, I only worry about you, you are not allowed to mess with me, if I find out, you just wait to get out of here!" Ling Xueman He curled his lips, smiled at the corners of his mouth, and rubbed Mo Qihan's lips with his slender fingers, "Hawk, honestly confess, did you steal fishy behind me?"
"Stupid girl, you are really worrying about it! What's the matter? You have a baby bump on your concubine, I can't bear to hurt you, and besides, hehe, I can't look down on any other women except you!" Mo Qihan chuckled lightly. Then, Jun eyebrows gradually narrowed, "Long, I may not be able to come for these three or four days. I am planning to get you around so that we can get closer. When I see you, I can control it freely, but maybe I'm wronged, you think about it, will you continue to wait for me in the Four Kings Mansion, or stay with me?"
Upon hearing this, Ling Xue opened her eyes sharply, "姘头, what did you say? Take me to your side? How to accept it? What wrongdoing?"
"As long as I want to, I can do it. If you agree, you will not be the fourth princess. There is no maid waiting, and you will be overwhelmed with this kind of life, so let's forget it." Mo Qihan decidedly. Denied his idea, she was born as a daughter-in-law, and worked as a servant girl, how could she do it
