Chapter 52: The Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell

After teasing the two Moon Sect Dark Butterflies, Lin Mo left the palace in a carriage with a gloomy expression, sitting in the car, quietly thinking about the matter of the Moon Sect Master.

For the Sect Master of the Moon Sect, who was one of the three peak sects with him, Lin Mo didn't have much useful information and information with the night people under him, and he only knew that the Moon Sect was a beautiful woman who was good at disguise techniques.

However, due to her disguise technique, which was especially superior to Yan Baiyu, Lin Mo had never mastered the true face of the Moon Sect Master, and according to the two Moon Sect Dark Butterflies in the palace, they had never seen the true face of the Moon Sect Master.

"It's really bad to say that you, a woman, are also ruthless, and take a group of women to do these shady things. ”

Lin Mo lightly complained about the sect master of the Yue Sect, wasting the good youth of other women, the age of Qiushui and Qiuning Flowers, it is the best time to fall in love, but in the dark palace, do the work of secret agents.

However, think about it, women are the most suitable for spies, and what about the night people who lurk in all corners of Zhongzhou in their own Mo Sect, women alone account for half of the number of night people.

Although he didn't know what the Moon Sect Sect Master looked like, and he hadn't received any news from the Night One, Lin Mo always had an intuition in his heart that the Moon Sect Sect Master had already entered the imperial capital and was secretly watching his every move.

Just thinking in his heart, the carriage had stopped in front of the Lin Mansion.

After getting out of the carriage, Lin Mo marched into the mansion, walked to the front yard, and when he saw the rocking chair in the pavilion, Lin Mo couldn't help but think of Liu Ruoshui in his mind: "I haven't seen you for three days, and I don't know what happened to this chick?"

In the past, it was just Liu Ruoshui as a tool to deal with King Rong, but since the heart-to-heart conversation outside the Tai Chi Holy Gate, after Liu Ruoshui's acting that made him get goosebumps.

In addition, he hadn't seen her for three days now, and Lin Mo found that he remembered her.

Shaking his head, he threw Liu Ruoshui aside from his mind for the time being, walked to the inner courtyard, and found a group of maidservants busy working, as if they were cleaning up and decorating the house.

Turning his head to see Yan Baiyu walking out of the main house, Lin Mo walked to the porch and said curiously: "Baiyu, what are you busy doing?

Yan Baiyu shook her head, and said with a smile: "Isn't this the Shu Ya sister in the palace coming soon?

Seeing that Yan Baiyu's anger on the street had subsided, Lin Mo hurriedly hugged her into his arms: "Thank you for your hard work, but this time Shu Ya will have to return to Pingzhou after staying for a few days." ”

For Lin Mo's embrace, Yan Baiyu would never refuse: "The concubine knows, but Sister Shu Ya will live here for a long time one day, right?" ”

Yan Baiyu accepted Xiao Shuya, which made Lin Mo very relieved and satisfied, and suddenly remembered something, so he asked, "Baiyu, has our Yan country's mission returned to Yunhuai City?"

Yunhuai City, the capital of Yan Kingdom.

Yan Baiyu nodded: "Now there are also the Chu State Mission, the Liang State Mission and the Yu State Mission, the return date of the Chu State Mission is unknown, and the Liang State Mission and the Yu State Mission will be after the New Year because they want to take Zhilan and Allure to return to the country." Our Yan country's mission, Yuan Kuo had already led this delegation to set off yesterday, what's the matter? Could it be that the husband has something to tell Yuan Kuo?"

Lin Mo shook his head, his expression was a little solemn: "It's okay, it's just that the cold wind has risen, and it is about to enter an eventful autumn, if our Yan country's mission hasn't gone back, I want to go and tell them to leave quickly." ”

"What's wrong, husband?" Seeing that Lin Mo became a little dignified, Yan Baiyu was slightly startled.

Lin Mo sighed, his brows furrowed: "I always feel that the Moon Sect Sect Master has entered the imperial capital, and he may be secretly peeking at me, just waiting for me to reveal his flaws and wait for the opportunity to move." ”

The good ones don't come, the ones who come are not good, the sect master of the Moon Sect may have entered the imperial capital, Yan Baiyu also became a little anxious: "But the night people who are monitoring the Moon Sect have not sent any news back?"

Lin Mo smiled bitterly: "Although our Night Sect is strong, how can we keep an eye on the mysterious Moon Sect Sect Master who has never shown his true face?"

Lin Mo didn't want Yan Baiyu to worry about this matter, so he wanted to change the topic to divert Yan Baiyu's attention, but at this moment, he heard three distant and empty death knell sounds from the direction of the palace.

Listening to the sound of the death knell, a faint smile appeared on Lin Mo's lips: "This Emperor Daqian is quite righteous, and he also set a precedent for Shu Ya and struck the death knell three times. ”

Ring the death knell, in the Daqian Empire, only the emperor, the empress, and the queen mother are dead, and they are qualified to ring the death knell, although Xiao Shuya is a virtuous concubine, she also does not have that qualification, and the reason why she rang is estimated to be to sell Lin Mo a favor.

The sound of the death knell came, and immediately after, Lin Mo heard a chaotic footsteps in the house behind him, and Baili Allure took the lead in rushing out of the house, threw himself into Lin Mo's arms, and looked around: "Who is dead, husband, who is dead?"

Let go of Yan Baiyu, let Baili Allure's legs wrap around his waist, Lin Mo held it up: "The one in my palace is the one you have been yelling to see Sister Shuya?"

As soon as Lin Mo hugged the hundred miles of the city, Bai Zhilan and the eldest grandson Yuyin walked out together, Bai Zhilan glanced at the direction of the palace, and asked lightly: "Husband, the plan of the golden cicada to get out of its shell has succeeded?"

"Yes, it is estimated that Shu Ya's coffin will arrive in our Lin Mansion later. Lin Mo said calmly while hugging the beautiful and soft body in his arms.

"Husband, do we have to prepare for anything?" Hearing the news that Xiao Shuya was about to enter the Lin Mansion, the eldest grandson was a little happy in his heart.

The first is that when the eldest grandson Yuyin was a third-grade Jieyu in the palace, he was familiar with Xiao Shuya, and the two could chat, and the second was that from now on, he was no longer the oldest among Lin Mo's women.

Xiao Shuya is Chinese New Year's Eve years old today, and her eldest grandson is 26 years old.

The eldest grandson Youyin knew that her husband never minded these age gaps, but in her own heart, she still minded a little, after all, she was three years older than Lin Mo.

Seeing that the eldest grandson was thinking with his head down, Lin Mo gestured to the Baili Allure City wrapped in his arms, and the Baili Allure City was also very caring and sensible, and jumped out of Lin Mo's arms.

Embracing the long-term grandson who was bowing his head and contemplating, Lin Mo touched her head and said softly: "Fool, do you still mind the matter of age? ”

"But...... , Woo-" The eldest grandson was about to say something, but his mouth had been blocked by Lin Mo's mouth, and he couldn't say anything at all, so he could only make a whining sound.

After a long time, the eldest grandson saw that Yan Baiyu and the girls were looking at him with a smile, and a trace of red rhyme suddenly appeared on his face and skin, and then buried his head in Lin Mo's arms

Yan Baiyu and the girls glanced at each other, and they all let out a coquettish laugh.

Just when the inner courtyard of the Lin Mansion was full of smiles, in the Ansheng Palace.

The graceful and dignified Empress Dowager Xuanshu stood upright at the entrance of the hall, looking at the sky, looking at the palace eunuchs wearing plain clothes, and showed a satisfied smile: "Brother, this thing is good." ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother, for the compliment. Xuanyuan, who was quite rich, bowed respectfully: "Now that we have helped Xiao Shuya out of the palace, Lin Ziyong's heavy gift should be delivered." ”

Empress Dowager Xuanshu nodded: "Lin Ziyong personally prepared a gift, a gift worth 200,000 gold leaves, and the mourning family is really looking forward to it." ”

Looking at the clouds in the sky again, Empress Dowager Xuanshu suddenly felt that the clouds had become what she wanted, and slowly stretched out her hand, feeling as if she was holding the clouds in the sky.

At the same time, inside the Qingzong Palace.

After hearing the death knell, Xiao Shuya's master, Mrs. Jinghui, stopped chanting the sutra and stood in front of the Buddhist hall.

After a while, Mrs. Jinghui heard the sound of crying, and then gradually faded away, revealing a knowing smile: "Great, I am the only one in this world, child, go and chase your own happiness." ”

As she spoke, Mrs. Jinghui took out an extremely precious Pisces jade pendant from her arms and held it in her hand: "Your Majesty, Fanghua can finally accompany you without worry." ”

After speaking, a tear rolled out of the corner of Mrs. Jinghui's eyes, which seemed extremely clear in the warm winter sun of China, and suddenly Mrs. Jinghui gritted her teeth, walked to the dry well in the courtyard, and planted herself headlong.

"Bang-" There was a muffled sound from the dry well.

Jinghui Shi Taiyin Fanghua, the concubine of Ji Fang, the former emperor of Daqian, favored the inner palace and enjoyed Ronghua's first-class concubine, so she fell into a dry well, no one noticed, and left quietly.

But the Pisces jade pendant in his hand was still held in his hand by Yin Fanghua with a smile on his face, and in the dim dry well, the Pisces jade pendant exuded a faint green brilliance, which was very warm.

This Pisces jade pendant is a promise given by Ji Fang to Yin Fanghua, and those two fish are the two of them.

The news of Xiao Shuya's "death" was quickly spread by Xu Qiuniang to King Rong, to Xiang Yuan and the white-clothed maidservant, and also to every corner of the imperial capital Qiantian City.

That night, at around 3:45 p.m., several black-clothed men with mysterious whereabouts carried a coffin and cautiously entered the back door of the Lin Mansion.

Putting the coffin on the hall, a leading man in black took off the masked black cloth, it was an old man, who was the henchman of Emperor Daqian, the chief eunuch and the head of the hidden guard, Gao Yue.

Gao Yue took off the black cloth, and ordered his subordinates to open the coffin, and saluted Lin Mo, who was already waiting here: "Lin Shangqing, let you wait, Mrs. Shu Ya's body has been brought to you." ”

"Thank you, Grandpa Gao. Lin Mo returned the salute, took out a piece of flying money worth thousands of gold leaves from his sleeve and stuffed it into Gao Yue's hand, Gao Yue hurriedly refused.

Lin Mo forcibly stuffed it into Gao Yue's hand, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law Gao, it is more profound, you are still working hard for the affairs of the younger generation at such an age, and the younger generation really doesn't want to go, so you can take it, buy some supplements, and take your brothers to drink tea." ”

This time, Gao Yue no longer shirked, and received the flying money in his sleeve: "Then the old slave will thank Lin Shangqing, okay, don't bother you, the old slave has to go back to the palace to resume his life." ”

"Rest the wind and revenge, hurry up and send Grandpa Gao for me. Lin Mo didn't keep it.

Gao Yue re-covered it, took his subordinates, Xifeng and Qiu Yun to take them away, Lin Mo came to the coffin, looked at the beautiful woman lying inside, and said with a smile: "What, fell asleep inside?"

Seeing that Xiao Shuya didn't speak, the corners of Lin Mo's mouth flashed with an evil smile, and he reached out to untie the ribbon around her waist: "Xiao Da Beauty, if you sleep again, I'm welcome." ”

"Smack-"

Xiao Shuya suddenly opened her eyes and slapped Lin Mo's hand that wanted to untie her ribbon, revealing a coquettish white eye: "Go, before you marry me and enter the door, you have to untie my dress, don't even think about it." ”

As she spoke, Xiao Shuya stretched out another hand: "Pull me up, I've been in it for too long, I'm really starving, have you prepared dinner for me?"

"Knowing that you didn't even have lunch, I would have prepared it for you. Lin Mo didn't take her hand, but directly lowered her body and hugged her out: "I'll carry you away." ”

In this regard, Xiao Shuya naturally would not refuse, and Lin Mo still held herself in her arms, a pair of jade hands weakly wrapped around Lin Mo's neck, and a pair of beautiful eyes were in the scenery along the road.

"Is this my future home? Well, it's pretty stylish, it's elegant. ”

Lin Mo shook his head and said softly: "This is not our home, it's just a temporary residence, our home is in Yan Kingdom, on Moyun Mountain, when my business is over, I will take you home and go back to have children." ”

Listening to "Our Home", listening to "Giving Birth to Children", listening to the gentle words of men, and feeling the warm embrace of men, at this moment, Xiao Shuya felt that her heart was very warm and down-to-earth.

Walking into the inner courtyard, pushing open the door, a chorus of cheers came: "Sister Shuya, hello!" It was the girls, under the leadership of Yan Baiyu, standing indoors to greet them.

Xiao Shuya was frightened by this sudden enthusiasm and warmth, and after relieving herself, a drop of eye hung in the corner of her eye, holding back her tears, and jokingly: "Hello sisters, Ziyong said, I will always be his last concubine, I should call you sister." ”

"But in our hearts, you are our sister. Baili Allure said with a smile, but the sincerity in the words was full of sincerity, and anyone could hear it.

The other three women also nodded in unison.

Xiao Shuya hadn't felt this sincerity for a long time, and she was even more moved in her heart, but she still said jokingly on her face: "Okay, sisters, sister, I'm hungry, where is dinner?"

"Inside, everyone hasn't eaten, just waiting for Sister Shu Ya. ”

After several people sat around the dinner table, Lin Mo still held Xiao Shuya in his arms, and fed her with his own hands, and the girls introduced each other without the slightest concealment, including the fact that Yan Baiyu was the lord of Yan Country.

After introducing each other, Baili Allure opened his curious eyes, and suddenly asked a sentence that made Xiao Shuya and a few girls blush: "Sister Shuya, your posture is so good, can you tell Allure, how did you grow so good?"

What he said was true, Lin Mo had already secretly compared it, this Xiao Shuya was the most charming among the girls, and only the eldest grandson could compare with it.

Xiao Shuya snuggled in Lin Mo's arms, blushed and said: "Silly Allure, you are only twenty-one years old, when you grow up to the age of my sister and me, you will become as good as me, maybe better." ”

"Really? That's great. As soon as the city was overjoyed, he ate it happily, and suddenly asked: "Sister Keshuya, why am I better than you?"

Xiao Shuya ate the fish meat that Lin Mo fed and picked out the thorns, and said with a smile: "Because you married Ziyong at the age of twenty, and your appetite is like this, it will definitely be." ”

"But this is for ......" Baili Allure was very curious, and wanted to continue to ask why, Yan Baiyu hurriedly interrupted her: "Sister Shuya, the room is ready for you, you and your husband will rest together tonight?"

Xiao Shuya shook her head, and nodded Lin Mo's head with her fingers: "I haven't done the matter in Pingzhou yet, and Ziyong hasn't officially married me yet, although I have already been taken advantage of by him, but he doesn't want to sleep with me and take off my dress." ”

Listening to Xiao Shuya's words, Lin Mo, who was feeding her, felt very aggrieved: It is clear that it is not good for you to take the initiative, especially in the Qingzong Hall and in the inner room of Jinsu Palace in the morning.

"Then Sister Shuya, when do you plan to leave for Pingzhou?" Bai Zhilan put down the dishes and chopsticks, wiped her lips and asked.

Xiao Shuya thought for a while and replied: "Early tomorrow morning, if I stay in the house for a long time, I'm afraid I won't be willing to leave, so I'll leave after a night's rest tonight, and marry Ziyong as soon as possible." ”

From Xiao Shuya's words, Lin Mo heard the urgency, and suddenly said: "Actually, Shuya, we can also get married, and you will go to Pingzhou in a few months, anyway, Pingzhou's affairs are not in a hurry." ”

Lin Mo's words made Xiao Shuya throb a little, but she quickly calmed down, and kissed him on the cheek: "No, Ziyong, I have received your wishes, but the matter of Pingzhou, I know that the sooner the dust settles, the better." ”

Bai Zhilan couldn't help but have a trace of admiration for Xiao Shuya in her heart, but she said calmly on her face: "Now that Xiao Shuya of the Xiao family in Pingzhou is dead, has Sister Shu Ya thought about what identity to use to go back?"

Xiao Shuya nodded: "I have already thought about it, my father has an illegitimate daughter outside, named Xiao Yumei, it is a coincidence, she looks seven or eight points like me, only my father knows her news in the Xiao family, this time I will use Xiao Yumei's identity to go back on the grounds of recognizing my ancestors and returning to my ancestors, I ......"

In Xiao Shuya's narration and the atmosphere of joy and joy, there was one more person in this meal, but the warm and very warm dinner was coming to an end.

After Lin Mo had the best food, Xiao Shuya, who was still in Lin Mo's arms, said to the eldest grandson: "Sorrow, sister go to your room tonight to sleep, we sisters haven't seen each other for a few days, the room that your sister prepared for me, after my sister and I get married to Ziyong, I will live in it." ”

"Okay!" "The eldest grandson naturally agreed.

After chatting for a while, they dispersed, and Bai Zhilan stayed in the main house.

At night, at the beginning of the third watch (23:00).

In the warm tent, Bai Zhilan, who was dressed in a translucent blue gauze nightgown, lay on Lin Mo's chest, stretched out her snow-like snow arm under the blue gauze to wrap around Lin Mo's neck, and said in a low voice: "Husband, it seems that this Sister Shuya is not simple." ”

The hand under the warm quilt wrapped around Bai Zhilan's graceful waist, and Lin Mo smiled: "I can be a virtuous concubine in the palace, and I have been in office for so many years, how can I be a simple person." ”

Listening to Lin Mo's words, Bai Zhilan was silent for a while, and then suddenly said: "Does the husband really like her?

"I really like it, and I also fell in love with her appearance and the Xiao family in Pingzhou. Saying that, Lin Mo suddenly turned over and pressed Bai Zhilan under him, and said evilly: "Baby Zhilan, it's all three watches, it's a beautiful day at this moment, you really want your husband to talk about other women." ”

"Husband-" Bai Zhilan suddenly let out a coquettish voice with infinite temptation, and a pair of snow arms covered by translucent blue gauze wrapped around Lin Mo's neck again, and a pair of beautiful eyes were even more watery.

Lin Mo smiled evilly, put down the warm tent, and covered the warm quilt on the two of them, and after a blushing kissing sound, the close-fitting dresses fell on the ground and on the bed.

At the same time, the eldest grandson was in the boudoir, on the soft couch in the warm tent.

Xiao Shuya and the eldest grandson Youyin under the warm quilt were dressed in translucent light gauze nightgowns and lay side by side on the bed.

Xiao Shuya suddenly got up on her side, supported her head with one hand, looked at the eldest grandson Youyin, and said with a smile: "Since Sister Youyin and Ziyong got married, it has really become more and more cute, it seems that Ziyong is very good to you." ”

The eldest grandson replied with a red face: "After Sister Shu Ya and her husband get married, your husband will definitely be very good to you, and he will definitely hold you in his hand and love you." ”

"Well, I believe this!" Xiao Shuya covered her mouth and smiled, and suddenly sighed again: "It's really a fact, I think of my sister, you went back to the palace with Ziyong to visit the queen mother that day, sister, I am still envious, I envy my sister for finding a good man, and now I have found it, but what I didn't expect is that our man is the same again." ”

Saying that, Xiao Shuya suddenly looked down at her translucent light gauze nightgown: "This robe is really beautiful, it is really beautiful and tempting to wear on us, I have never seen it in the palace." ”

The eldest grandson blushed and said: "This is made for us by the husband himself, this is called a nightgown, which is specially worn close to the body when sleeping, and the husband likes it very much." ”

"Well, I can see that I can't imagine that the bad guy will really hurt people, and I'm looking forward to it even more, sister. Seeing that the eldest grandson was talking with a light in his eyes, Xiao Shuya smiled happily.
