When Lin Xueqi walked back to Songxi Garden, Duan Murphy had already taken her maid to sit on the stone table, and when she saw Lin Xueqi's arrival, she chuckled, "Xueqi is walking slower, I'll sit first, it's okay, right?" ”

Lin Xueqi looked at her, shook her head, took out the plum blossom jade pendant in her arms, put it on the table, and then sat down opposite Duan Murphy, her fingers lightly tapped on the table, and she raised her eyes to stare at her, "This jade pendant, I don't know where Miss Murphy got it?" ”

Plum blossom jade pendant, mother had before her death, she has also seen, every time my mother sees this jade pendant, her expression is very gentle, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, as if she is looking at the most cherished thing through this.

"The jade pendant was handed over to me by your mother back then." As soon as he said of this jade pendant, Duan Murphy's eyes quickly crossed the bottom of his eyes with a hint of loss and a trace of incomprehensible emotion.

"Impossible." Lin Xueqi quickly denied that, judging from how much her mother liked it, how could she give away her cherished things to others? Unless there is some compelling reason.

Duan Murphy's expression moved, she looked at Lin Xueqi, there was no lie in her eyes, "This is true, she came to me that day and handed me this jade pendant, saying that this jade pendant would play an important role in the future, but I never thought that that day would be the last time I saw her." ”

Lin Xueqi was stunned, if it was according to Duan Murphy's statement, then her mother had long expected that she would be killed? And this jade pendant is her last relic?

Thinking like this, Lin Xueqi looked at the jade pendant on the table with an uncertain expression, the plum blossom pattern on it was lifelike, just like the real thing, as if he could see the plum blossoms blooming.

"This jade pendant has been kept by me for many years, and today I will return it to its original owner." Duan Murphy pushed the jade pendant in front of Lin Xueqi, took one last look, and retracted his nostalgia.

Lin Xueqi bit her lip, she really didn't know why her mother kept this jade pendant, was it because this jade pendant would play an important role? However, how does she know where this jade pendant should be used?

Mo Xichen looked at Lin Xueqi, reached out and took the jade pendant, stroked it, his expression changed, he looked sideways at Lin Xueqi's depressed face, and his thin lips opened lightly, "This jade pendant is a little strange to build." ”

"What's this strange method?" Duan Murphy was very curious, she had studied this jade pendant for so long, and she didn't see anything famous, and Mo Xichen could know the mystery just by touching it?

Lin Xueqi also looked at Mo Xichen with a puzzled expression, silent, and sat and waited for Mo Xichen's answer.

"This jade pendant is indeed very delicate on the surface, but this king feels a slight change, this is said that you women will not understand, this king will say it concisely and clearly, this jade pendant is more like a key." Mo Xichen took the red thread on the top of the jade pendant, presented the jade pendant in front of them, and told what he had found.

"Keys?" Lin Xueqi stretched out her hand to take it, stroking it like Mo Xichen, the longer she touched it, the tighter her brows wrinkled, and finally shook her head, "I don't understand what you think." ”

Mo Xichen sighed, picked up the jade pendant, put it on the table, and pointed to the lines on it, "First, first look at the lines of the jade pendant, this jade pendant is mainly engraved with plum blossoms, once this king entered the eldest princess's house, and the room was full of things engraved with plum blossoms." ”

Hearing this, Lin Xueqi looked at him with a complicated expression, her red lips opened, and she said, "I really didn't expect that you used to like to enter people's houses casually."

"......" is also considered to be Mo Xichen's big belly, and he didn't bother with Lin Xueqi for the time being, he ignored Lin Xueqi's words, turned the jade pendant to the back, stroked the lines of the plum blossom with his fingertips, and pointed lazily at the back, "Here, there is a lot of article." The eldest princess really has ulterior motives. ”

Lin Xueqi stroked it, followed the lines all the way down, and finally his face changed, his face was pale, which could also be said to be happy, "There is an invisible word here." ”

Mo Xichen nodded and said approvingly: "The Ninth Princess is not particularly stupid. Yes, there is a word here, the eldest princess carved out the words using the pattern of plum blossoms. ”

Duan Murphy Qianqian took it in her hand, her soft fingertips rubbed, her expression was calm, but her eyes still revealed her excitement at this time, "Yes, there is a word." ”

She never thought that she had thought about so many mysteries, and she didn't even think of using the lines of plum blossoms to find this invisible handwriting.

After this incident, she also had a little appreciation for Mo Xichen's eyes, "If Xueqi's mother knew that her husband was also a person who was both civil and military, I don't know how happy she would be." ”

Lin Xueqi's eyes dimmed, she pulled the corners of her mouth, and smiled a little hard, "Mother, I'm afraid I'll be happy, right?" ”

Who doesn't want their children to start a family? But she died before she could see it.

"On this jade pendant, there is a word engraved, which is 'house'." Mo Xichen knew that Lin Xueqi was not in a particularly good mood now, she had been talking about the disadvantages of her relationship last time, which showed that she was disappointed in her relationship and panicked. He didn't want to see her upset, and he had to change the subject of Duan Murphy.

Duan Murphy really fell into Mo Xichen's trap, "Yes, it is estimated that it is her house, after all, Lord Mo, you also said that her house is full of plum blossom marks." ”

"Then let's go." Lin Xueqi proposed, she took the plum blossom jade pendant from Duan Murphy's hand, put it on her waist, and made sure that it would not fall off before she stood up and looked down at a person who didn't want to move, and Mo Xichen had already got up and stood beside her.

As soon as he heard that he was leaving, Duan Murphy's expression was a little embarrassed, "Xueqi, I'm tired from walking, you can go yourself, right?" After all, in her eyes, Lin Xueqi is not a three-year-old child anymore, and she can find her way there.

Lin Xueqi knew that Duan Murphy was also more than capable of doing so, she lived on the top of the snow peak all the year round, and she had long been accustomed to the natural environment over there, and it was normal for her to suddenly come to the plain, and she was not accustomed to the water and soil.

"Then Miss Murphy will rest here, and if the house is left, the third one on the left, I will send someone to clean it up." Lin Xueqi responded politely, after all, there are still courtesies, Duan Murphy is polite to her, and she also has to give her respect.

Duan Murphy thanked with a smile, she continued to sit on the chair, watching Lin Xueqi and Mo Xichen's backs go away, her expression changed subtly, the maidservant next to her opened her mouth, looked at Duan Murphy's side face, and said softly: "Next, should we rest or go to that person?"

"Of course, it's a break to have the strength to keep doing it, isn't it?" Duan Murphy slightly hooked his red lips, and his eyes shone with essence.

*

Lin Xueqi looked back at Songxi Garden, her expression was complicated, Mo Xichen in front of her helped her lead the way, after all, Mo Xichen had been there, but she had no impression at all.

The courtyard of the eldest princess stands in the best part of the palace, where the sun is the most abundant in winter and the coolest place in summer, but since the eldest princess got married, she has rarely come back, and with the incident of five years ago, that courtyard has been completely abandoned there.

I don't know how long it has been since I left, Lin Xueqi has no sense of time, but she also knows that the place where the eldest princess lives is probably far away from her residence.

Suddenly, Mo Xichen's feet stopped, Lin Xueqi didn't pay attention, and hit his back directly, she snorted, and then raised her head, "But it's here?" Saying this, she looked forward and saw a palace, and with the current appearance, it was not difficult to see the prosperity of the past.

Lin Xueqi pushed the door and walked in, seeing the gate full of spider silk, as well as the dead flowers and plants on both sides of the road, her brows couldn't help but tighten, she immediately quickened her pace, came to the place where the eldest princess lived, opened the door, and suddenly the dust came to her face, causing her to close her eyes and cough again and again.

"Are you alright?" Mo Xichen asked worriedly.

Lin Xueqi waved his hand, "It's not a big deal." "It's just dust, and she doesn't take it seriously.

She looked up, and sure enough, what she said was the same as Mo Xichen's description, most of this room had plum blossom imprints, and there were plum blossoms on the bed, desk, and dresser.

She walked around the spider silk hanging from the threshold to the dresser, looked at herself reflected in the bronze mirror, and finally noticed something strange.

Mo Xichen stepped over with his long legs, took three steps and made two steps to come to her, and with just one glance, he also found a hint of mystery, "There is a bumpy place here, try it in the sun." ”

Lin Xueqi listened to his words, put the bronze mirror on the windowsill, adjusted the position, the sunlight was refracted through the concave and convex point, and the aperture was projected on the wall, where there happened to be a not-so-obvious groove.

She reached out and took off the jade pendant on her waist, pressed it to it, and in the silent sound of the house, the sound of the mechanism opening sounded, and this direction ......

Lin Xueqi raised her eyes and took away some of the books on the desk, and after taking them away, she could see them more clearly.

There was a small crack on the desk, and with what she could reach, Lin Xueqi reached out and grabbed the spine of the book, patted the dust that had been deposited on the cover for a long time, and flipped through a few pages, and knew what it was.

The diary, which records the events of the eldest princess since she was a child, the latest one was written five years ago, a few weeks before the eldest princess died, and since then, she has not been recorded.

Lin Xueqi put away the diary, put the book back in its original position, and put the bronze mirror back in its original place, looking like it hadn't moved.

After everything is done, Lin Xueqi and Mo Xichen plan to go back, after all, it is not interesting to stay longer, and the chance of being exposed will be greater if they stay any longer.

"What's the catch?" Mo Xichen also asked knowingly, Lin Xueqi's excitement at this time was written on his face, how could he not have gained.

"Harvest? That's a lot. Lin Xueqi's red lips were slightly hooked, and she looked down at the diary in her hand.

I guess it won't be long before the truth of five years ago will surface, right? She can finally give an account to her dead parents.

Thinking of this, there was a rare trace of tenderness in her eyes, which added a unique flavor to her face.
