"Are you sure it's the way?"

The group walked at the foot of the snow-capped mountain, and Li Xunduan kept confirming it with an old man who followed him, looking nervous.

"Back to the fourth prince, it's this road, the villain has been here a few times, and every time he can see the mother and daughter. It must be right!"

The old man seemed to be very confident, after all, this was what he had seen with his own eyes, he had carefully confirmed the portrait, and that woman was the person the emperor was looking for. That beauty has not changed in the slightest even after twelve years.

Hearing him say this, Li Xunduan unconsciously quickened his pace, the location here was extremely remote, and he couldn't even find this location on the map. If it weren't for this old man's informant, his desire to be favored by regaining his father's favorite for many years would not have come true.

He is already so old, but the favored concubines around him are all similar to the woman back then, this is no coincidence, maybe he can seize this opportunity, he can make his father appreciate him.

No longer because of his humble background, he will not even give himself a chance to ascend to the throne, and then he will not be able to lose!

The snow under his feet had reached the knee level, and there was still no sign of anyone living in front of him, so he couldn't help but become more and more impatient. Almost carrying the old man to walk, the old man only needed to point out the direction, and he didn't even need to walk the road, it was obvious that Li Xunduan thought he was too slow.

Gradually, halfway up the snow-capped mountains in the distance, a cave appeared. Li Xunduan was the first to discover this cave, and immediately brought up the old man for him to identify.

"I looked, looked, found it! yes, this is it, and that's where their mother and daughter live. The old man was very happy, as if he saw the one hundred taels of gold he was about to get in his hand, and he was going to marry a daughter-in-law to his son who was missing his leg, and in a blink of an eye his son was almost thirty years old, how could he not marry a daughter-in-law.

Xiaocui was sold to someone's house, and he had to redeem her. After all, it's his own daughter, and when his father is rich, how can he let his child suffer anymore?

The four princes will send the mother and daughter to the palace to enjoy happiness, how can it be better than this cold snow-capped mountain......!

No!

In fact, as the old man thought, Li Xunduan wanted to send that Xue Yuan to the emperor. But the woman still has a child, and the child will have to disappear!

While they were making calculations, they had gradually approached the residence of Xuefu's mother and daughter, and the cave did not even have a door, just a large piece of bark hanging at the entrance of the cave to resist the wind and cold. It's a shabby place, but under the severe cold and frost all year round, can a weak woman with a child really survive?

Li Xunduan took the lead in lifting the bark and walked in.

The only furniture inside was nothing more than a wooden bed and a dilapidated wooden cabinet. Nothing else. It looks neat, but it is extremely shabby.

Oddly enough, there was no one inside.

"Where are they? You said they live here!" Li Xun asked fiercely as he pulled the old man over the old man.

His expression was terrifying, and he didn't have his usual elegant and handsome appearance at all. Dressed in black, he looks a little aggressive, and the jade hair ornament on his forehead is firmly tied behind his head, showing an extremely brave and heroic spirit.

How much is he hiding?

"The villain, the villain doesn't know! They may have gone out. But they never go down. Fourth Highnesses, they must be around here. ...... nearby"

The old man did not dare to answer head-on, but he put on a positive look. Li Xunduan knew that he couldn't kill him now, he had to find someone first, his eyes narrowed secretly, and he put down the old man.

"Get out and look for me, go quickly! Don't let go of a corner!" the order was given, and several guards with him immediately scattered to look for it.

Li Xunduan and the old man walked all the way out of the cave to look for it. There was no snow today, and their footprints should still be there, and the old man carefully distinguished the footprints on the snow, and soon made a discovery.

"Fourth Prince, come and see!" said the old man, pointing to a footprint in the snow.

"What's wrong? What did you find?"

Li Xun looked at the snow that the old man was pointing to, it was a child's footprint, very small. But it was very deep, and she seemed to be dragging some heavy objects, and there was a long drag mark behind the small footprints.

"Fourth Prince, come and see, these are the footprints of that little girl. Maybe it's dragging something, follow her, maybe her mother is there. ”

"Okay!

After speaking, Li Xunduan quickly followed the footprints of another person, and the guards immediately carried the old man to follow.

After walking for a while, Li Xunduan saw that at the end of this line of footprints was to walk under a huge tree, all the way they walked, there was a vast area of snow, there were almost no trees, let alone such a huge tree, it should be a hundred years old, and from a distance it seemed that it was almost thirty or forty feet (about fifteen meters) high. There are no branches, but the trunk is huge.

Getting closer and closer, and gradually being able to see the whole tree clearly, Li Xunduan couldn't help but speed up his pace.

The closer you go, the more you see a small figure under the tree. When they got closer, the people under the tree could finally see clearly.

She had her back to them, and she was dressed in a pure white cloth. There was no embroidery, long black hair hung down to the waist, and the body was thin.

"Bring the old man here!"

Li Xunduan stood up, and the group stopped at a distance from under the tree.

A guard brought the old man over, and Li Xunduan immediately pointed to the snow coat and asked.

"Is that the woman's child?"

The old man couldn't see it clearly, but he said flatteringly

"Yes, yes. She was the woman's child. "Anyway, there won't be anyone else in this place, although I can't see it clearly, but the woman's child is really only so small.

Li Xunduan, who got the exact news, immediately brought a silver-white shirt from the guards and put it on top of his black clothes.

After tidying up, I slowly walked towards the snow coat.

"Little girl, why are you here alone? What about your mother?" Li Xun said indifferently, standing still behind Xue Jiao.

Is it finally here? It's still here after all! It's still a refreshing voice, but because of his young age, he doesn't have the arrogance of his voice after he ascended the throne......

Slowly turning around, the expression on his face was sad and pitiful.

He was just like the first time I saw him, wearing a white shirt, revealing an elegant feeling that made people defenseless......

He is so young, he should only be twenty years old at this time, when he strangled himself, he was already twenty-seven years old, revealing a mature and steady temperament, but cold-blooded and ruthless, now it seems that under his elegant appearance, the blood is getting cold a little bit, right?

For some reason, a wry smile appeared on her face. She didn't know it herself, but Li Xunduan, who was face to face with her, saw it in her eyes.

She doesn't know if she is ten years old, her skin is extremely fair, but it is a bloodless white, her body obviously shows no signs of starting to develop, and the whole person presents a petite and delicate morbid beauty. He was a small man with long black hair and no hairstyle.

The most attractive thing is her light blue eyes, how far away from the purity of the world can raise such a clean and pure pair of watery eyes. On the small face, these eyes are too ridiculously beautiful. I have to say that I was amazed by a little hairy child.

He forgot to speak for a long time, but her sudden wry smile made him feel a little uncomfortable, and it seemed to be a bitter smile that only the kind of people who have suffered so much should have. How can it appear on the face of a small child?

Sensing his puzzled expression, Xue Cao suddenly asked.

"Who are you?"

It's my enemy!

He said secretly in his heart, with a hint of displeasure on his face.

Li Xunduan looked even more stunned, but answered the moment he heard her question

"I am the fourth prince of the Yuan Ming Kingdom, Li Xunduan. ”

Maybe this is an inconspicuous sentence, but Xue Yu thinks this is the sentence he says the most.

In his previous life, he had said this countless times. So ordinary, but he hugged her one night and said fiercely

"Only the weak need to introduce themselves again and again, and the person who is really powerful is the one who will remember his name as soon as he sees it, and bow his head to him. He's going to take it, to be the one who doesn't have to say his name to anyone!"

It's a pity that he was saying this again at this time, and she no longer wiped his tears for him.

"Li Xunduan, what are you doing here?"

"I'm here to pick up your mother and daughter home. What about your mother?" finally cut to the chase, and Li Xunduan couldn't wait to bring them back.

Although he didn't know why he added this girl, he did say mother and daughter.

"My mother'......"

Speaking of her mother, the girl suddenly walked towards Li Xunduan, and the sword in Li Xunduan's hand was silently clenched. When she approached, if she tried to harm him, she would live to the end.

Xuefu walked towards Li Xunduan and had already arrived in front of him. She didn't go up to his chest and looked up. The soft ones seem to fall.

Li Xun looked down at her, and the sick little face was seen very clearly, and her brows were furrowed, as if it was impossible to soothe. The faint opening of his mouth revealed the most unacceptable facts.

"My mother, she's dead. Just last night"

"What? can't be? why!"

Li Xun grabbed the snow robe tightly with both hands, and his strength was so great that he seemed to crush her.

Xue's robe was in pain, but she saw Li Xunduan's angry face, and saw a trace of hideousness hidden under his elegant face. It was painful, but she felt a little happy. When Li Xun returned to normal, she said something lazily.

"You're pinching me. ”

Li Xunduan hurriedly let go of her, and then asked, "Where is your mother buried?"

"I don't know what's wrong with my mother, but I woke up this morning, but she didn't wake up, she didn't breathe. Maybe it's because I'm sick, my mother said I'm sick," Xue Yu replied obediently.

"Sick, what's sick?" Li Xunduan still refused to believe this fact, but this girl didn't look like she was lying.

"I don't know, my mother is dead"

Xue Cao really didn't know, all the expressions were so innocent and full of doubts.

Li Xunduan didn't know what else to say, he had traveled for eight days and eight nights to get here, and now there was only one dead person here. Worthless!

Waving his hand to signal the guards in the distance to come over, his face was very bad. Standing aside, at a loss.

Xue Cao stood aside, looking at him.

After a while, the guards came, taking the old man with them. As soon as the old man came, he ran to the side of the snow coat and made a careful identification.

Ecstatically shouted at Li Xunduan, "I'm not wrong! This is the woman's daughter! It's her!" Li Xunduan didn't speak, but his face became darker and darker.

The old man didn't notice Li Xunduan's face, and said to Xue Jiao, "Girl, where is your mother?"

"My mother, she's dead. It's buried over there. ”

"What, what, dead?" said the old man, and suddenly he fell down on the snow, and his face was about to cry.

The four princes on the side seemed to be discussing how to deal with him, what should we do? This highness is not easy to mess with, what should I do? How can this old life be saved? Oh?

Sure enough, Li Xunduan motioned for him to come over.

He reluctantly got to his feet, but his movements were extremely slow.

What to do!

As he was moving extremely slowly, Li Xunduan walked directly in front of him.

In a voice that only the two of them could hear, he said, "I have found nothing, so you have found nothing." But how can you stay old? It can't be ......."

"Don't, don't, Fourth Highness, don't kill me, don't kill me! ”

The old man seemed to have an idea in his heart, and when he heard the threat, he immediately wanted to speak out and live.

"What way? Won't it be another eight days of travel and another snow-capped mountain?" Li Xunduan's tone was very cold, and the old man could hardly stand.

"Your Highness, look at her!" the old man pointed to the snow coat and said to Li Xunduan:

"She is more beautiful than her mother, and she has a seven-point resemblance. Looking at the portrait, within a few years, that girl can be more beautiful than her mother. ”

"What, she's still a child!" Li Xunduan was a little surprised, but he still carefully took out the portrait in his arms.

It's very similar, or maybe it's okay.

I've been planning for so long, I can't ruin it like this. It's just a few more years, and he is more willing to wait for her than the hope of losing it directly......
