Xiao Mo and Ling Xu walked out of the guest room and stood in front of the door looking at the scenery in the courtyard. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The chrysanthemums surround the house, giving this small yard a unique view, and the couple are hunched over the flowers and picking up flowers and plants together.

"I don't know what flowers Brother Xiao likes?" Ling Xu said curiously.

"Peach blossoms."

The old man turned around and said with a smile: "Most of the people who like peach blossoms are from their daughter's family, and it's the first time I've heard that men like them too." ”

"Once upon a time, there was a little girl who liked peach blossoms when she was a child, so her home was full of peach trees inside and out, and in spring, the peach blossoms in the house bloomed, and it was beautiful." The old woman said with a smile.

"The peach is dying, scorching its glory, I like this poem." Xiao Mo smiled.

"I prefer my son to return, and it is appropriate for him to live at home." Ling Xu continued.

Xiao Mo smiled, when the peach blossoms bloomed, the son who should have returned, but everything was turned upside down, the world was impermanent, he loved in his previous life, but he hated it in this life.

At night, no matter how hospitable the owner of the house was, there was only one room in this room, and Ling Xu and Xiao Mo stared at the only bed for a long time.

"This ......" Ling Xu hesitated.

There weren't many beds, but two sets of bedding were delivered.

Xiao Mo picked up the futon and stuffed it to Ling Xu: "I have wronged the world." After speaking, he turned around and made the bed, folded his clothes and lay down, with his back to Ling Xu, he couldn't help laughing, thinking that he Ling Xu was the prince of Yanwen, and now he was reduced to the point of sleeping on the ground in the territory of Yan Kingdom.

Ling Xu accepted it silently without the slightest complaint.

Had a good night's sleep, and when Xiao Mo woke up in the early morning, Ling Xu was gone, listening to the sound, Xiao Mo walked out, and when he saw the scene outside, he couldn't cry or laugh.

Ling Xu sat in the courtyard, holding an axe and chopping the firewood, the wood was torn apart, but those pieces of wood that were not like strips and did not form pieces of wood may not be used to make a fire. Seeing that he was still concentrating, Xiao Mo couldn't help but snicker, but it was no wonder that the relatives of the emperor who had been clothed and fed since he was a child would do such rough work.

The old man standing on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and went over to Ling Xu and smiled and said, "Ling Gongzi, let's come with me." ”

"Uncle just rest, let me help you chop these, just thank the second elder for letting me spend the night with Brother Xiao."

Xiao Mo hurriedly said, "Brother Ling, we have been disturbing the second elder for a long time, and it is time to hurry." ”

The old woman stayed: "Let's go, it doesn't hurt to stay for two more days." ”

"Thank you for the kindness of the aunt and uncle, we are still in a hurry to go to the Handu, so we will leave first." Xiao Mo smiled, and then glanced at the old woman again, her face was really familiar, but after thinking about it, this was in Yan Country instead of Qi Country, and it was in the deep mountains and old forests, how could he meet a familiar person, maybe he just looked like an old man.

After rushing to Handu non-stop, and after riding for a long time, Ling Xu couldn't help but ask, "Do you have to be in such a hurry?" ”

"You're not in a hurry, but I'm in a hurry." Xiao Mo said helplessly, I don't know how my aunt and Duan Yue are doing, but she is getting farther and farther away from Sui An, so how can she not be anxious.

"Wouldn't it be that as soon as you return to Handu, you will have to send someone to send you back to Qi again?"

Xiao Mo whispered, "The sooner the better." ”

"The lady said before that someone planted peach trees everywhere in the house, and since you like peach blossoms, I want to emulate it so that you can also see what kind of scenery it is like to be full of peach blossoms."

Xiao Mo smiled and said slowly, "I've seen it a long time ago." ”

The familiar face, coupled with the old woman's words, Xiao Mo suddenly remembered who the old woman was, smiled, and muttered to himself: "Aunt Li." ”

She was six years old......

"Queen Mother, this Qufu is full of peach blossoms, beautiful." Aunt Li helped Empress Feng into the Qu Mansion.

Empress Feng looked around and nodded with a smile: "I have long heard that I like peach blossoms, and General Qu loves his daughter, so he planted peach trees everywhere in the mansion. ”

Mother Xiao Shi took Qu Duhuan out to pick up the car: "The concubine sees the queen's mother, this is the little girl's joy." ”

"I've seen the queen mother." She owes it, her mother said that the queen is a high-ranking person, extremely noble, she still can't help but look up timidly and quietly look at the queen, but just meet the queen's gaze, peeping is disrespectful, she is a little scared, but Queen Feng not only did not blame, but also smiled, gentle and kind.

"You'er, come." Empress Feng turned around and beckoned.

A little boy of about three years old ran from behind, and pounced on the queen: "Queen Mother." ”

"You'er, this is Sister Duhuan."

Qin You shouted obediently: "Sister Huan." ”

Xiao Shi was embarrassed: "How can I afford to call the fourth prince a sister." ”

Empress Feng smiled and said: "Huanhuan is older, she should be called sister, General Qu has worked hard and made great achievements, he is the emperor's right-hand man, and this palace and Concubine Xiao are like sisters, so they also regard Mrs. Qu as their own sister, how can they afford to stand it." ”

Although it was twelve years ago, this approachable mother and son made her quite fond of her when she was young, and later she often accompanied the queen when she visited her aunt Xiao Guifei in the palace. The sky is unpredictable, the virtuous and gentle Empress Feng suddenly fell ill in the second year, and died soon after, leaving behind the lonely four princes, the originally clever four princes may have been deeply hit by the loss of their mother at a young age, and they actually suffered from stupidity.

Old memories left and right Xiao Mo, gradually slowed down the speed of moving forward, and secretly smiled bitterly, it turned out that the little girl Aunt Li just said was her.

Since the queen died of illness, she still often enters the palace, but she has never seen Aunt Li again, it stands to reason that Aunt Li is a female official next to the queen, and her status in the palace is not the same as that of an ordinary aunt, even if the queen is gone, Aunt Li should stay in the palace and hold important positions......

Thinking of this, Xiao Mo grabbed the reins, looked back at the mountains and forests in the distance, she had been away for a long time, she couldn't go back, not to mention that she was Xiao Mo now, what reason did she have to ask Aunt Li?

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, let's keep going." Xiao Mo said, spurring the horse on.

"When I go back to Qi Country in the future, remember to send some messages from time to time to let me know if you are okay."

Xiao Mo said lightly: "I'm a palace maid, what ability can I give a letter to the prince of Yan Kingdom?" ”

Ling Xu pretended to be mysterious and said, "There will be a way then." ”

Riding a horse and following Ling Xu forward, the trees in the forest became denser and denser, towering to the sky, and the road ahead was quiet and quiet.

Suddenly, a tree fell in the middle of the road not far away, blocking the way, and the two had to stop.

Xiao Mo dismounted to check, walked to the tree and looked at the broken trunk, frowning slightly: "This tree seems to have been chopped down by someone." ”

"Chop down trees to block the road, could it be that there are bandits in this Jinshan?" Ling Xu quipped.

Xiao Mo glanced back at him, and suddenly heard a "whoosh" sound, and before he could calm down, he watched the arrow pierce into his chest......

Ling Xu fell from his horse with an arrow, Xiao Mo was suddenly frightened, and ran to his side: "Ling Xu......" looked back again, and the killer who was hiding in the forest and releasing the arrow was gone.

"You really said it, the secret arrow is difficult to prevent." Ling Xu lay on the ground and said slowly, with a smile on his lips, and before he could do so, he closed his eyes.

"Ling Xu." Xiao Mo called a few times and nudged Ling Xu.

Ling Xu lay on the ground and did not react, the blood soaked the clothes on his chest, and it was red, shocking......
