Chapter 41: Your Promise

Imperial Garden, Lin Xueqi has only seen it on TV, there are beautiful mountains and rivers, it is indeed a good place.

But she didn't have the leisure to look at the scenery, she still had the death of her parents on her shoulders, and she had to avenge her parents and find out the murderer.

Lin Xueqi saw Concubine Jin from afar, she was drinking tea leisurely there, very calm. But her eyes kept on the emperor who was slowly coming.

"Concubine Jin, see the emperor." Concubine Jin knelt on the ground, bowed her head, and looked very respectful.

Lin Xueqi pretended to be surprised, her eyes widened, and then she smiled: "Xueqi didn't expect Concubine Jin to also enjoy the scenery here." Uncle, why don't you accompany Concubine Jin to chat first, Xue Qi and Xi Chen will avoid it first. ”

The emperor waved his sleeves and sat down, and didn't look at Concubine Jin who was kneeling on the ground, "Since you're here, don't go." Xue Qi came over and chatted with me. Concubine Jin, let's get up first. ”

When Lin Xueqi heard the emperor say this, his brain immediately thought about countermeasures. It is impossible for her to stay here any longer, she can only help Concubine Jin this step, and the next thing is to depend on her own creation.

Now her task is to leave here and go to the emperor's study to inspect again, looking for any clues that have been missed.

But the emperor seems to be deliberately not letting her leave, but if she doesn't leave, how will she go?

She bit her lip secretly, her brain spinning rapidly, thinking of the most appropriate way to prevaricate the past so that she could carry out the plan she had already made next.

"Your Majesty, it's rare for you to come out once, so let the concubines come and chat with you. Since the prince and the princess are leaving, let them go, they are already husband and wife, and they are estimated to have some ulterior secrets when they go back. As she spoke, Concubine Jin covered her mouth and chuckled.

Lin Xueqi's face turned red, and he quickly lowered his head, hiding behind Mo Xichen, and his hands tightly grasped Mo Xichen's sleeves.

In the emperor's opinion, this picture is a daughter's shyness, but fortunately he didn't care, waved his hand, and allowed, "That's it, you guys go back." ”

Mo Xichen took Lin Xueqi with his big hand and said, "Farewell." Then he turned around and went back the way he had come.

When Lin Xueqi felt that it was almost over, she breathed a sigh of relief, but the flush on her cheeks still didn't disappear: "It's really thanks to Concubine Jin, otherwise I really don't know what to say."

Mo Xichen grabbed Lin Xueqi's big hand and tightened it, his voice was a little hoarse, "Are you going to the emperor's study now?" This king sends you. ”

Lin Xueqi glanced at him, "Naturally, you have to accompany me, otherwise I will have to wait for the end of being imprisoned." "With her martial arts, it is a difficult problem whether she can get in smoothly.

"With this king here, no one dares to put you in prison." Saying this, a trace of murderous intent flashed in Mo Xichen's eyes. She is his princess, he doesn't dare to beat and scold, how can he tolerate others trampling on his head?

Lin Xueqi was stunned on her face, and her heart was warm. "Yes, with Lord Mo here, I won't be fine." For the first time, she felt that it wasn't necessarily a bad thing to have someone to help.

Suddenly, Mo Xichen in front of him turned around, Lin Xueqi was defenseless, and directly hit his chest. She rubbed her nose, looked up, and blamed, "Why did you stop while walking?" Did you know that my nose is fragile? Lin Xueqi joked.

Mo Xichen smiled, and then held her in his arms, but the force was very light, for fear of hurting her, "You say, if this king is not there in the future, who will protect you?" ”

He was a soldier, and although he was the son of the emperor, he also had a lot of heavy responsibilities on his shoulders. He also sometimes went on expeditions to protect the peace of the country and the well-being of the people.

But now that he has such a burden, it is inevitable that he will not worry about her when he is outside, and he will be worried about her who is still waiting for him to come home at home.

Her martial arts skills are not high, but her medical skills are good, although she has some cleverness, he is still worried. After all, he knew that the palace was sinister, and the people in the dark were eyeing him.

After all, the emperor is Lin Xueqi's uncle, and many people want to use her to take the throne at this level of kinship. He knew that it was impossible for others, but he would still be used by her, but this palace was like an abyss, and sometimes he didn't know what strange things would pop up.

When Lin Xueqi heard his words, her body stiffened a little, her hand was hesitantly raised, and finally put it on his back, and said softly: "Don't you hate women?" I'm not as happy as you, and you don't have to worry about that. I'm a burden to you, a bad woman with bad intentions. ”

She laughed self-deprecatingly. The day after she came to this world, he said that she had other plans, saying that she spied into the treasures of his house and entered his house by despicable means to be his princess.

At that time, she felt wronged for herself. She was forced to marry and was wronged like that. She just came with her soul, and she didn't know what the Nine Kings Mansion had, even if it was a peerless treasure, she was not rare, she had only a soft spot for herbs since she was a child.

Although after getting along in the past few days, Lin Xueqi has indeed made a great difference in Mo Xichen, but every time she thinks of the scene when he asked her in the car in a cold voice, she still feels heartbroken.

"You still remember." Mo Xichen smiled bitterly, "That time it was the recklessness of this king, thinking that you were the same as those women." ”

These days, Mo Xichen has seen Lin Xueqi's personality clearly. She is a skilled doctor, and it is not uncommon to get that thing; She is very smart, but her martial arts are not very good, but she has the ability to protect herself.

With two things, it is impossible for her to steal, and she has no chance to steal. The secret guards in his mansion are strong in martial arts, and they can capture Lin Xueqi alive in three clicks and two clicks, and she has been dealing with others, and she can't spare herself to steal his family's ancestral things.

Lin Xueqi was silent for a while, then sighed and gently pushed him away, "I was originally a bad woman, you see, my heart has been covered by hatred now, and I am no longer the innocent and ignorant girl I used to be." ”

"That's because of your background." Mo Xichen hugged her again and buried her head deep in her neck, Lin Xueqi wanted to struggle, but she couldn't, and only heard Mo Xichen say faintly: "As long as this king is alive for a day, no one can hurt you."

This sentence is like a peach blossom petal, gently and slowly drifting into Lin Xueqi's heart, falling on her calm heart river, causing ripples.

Lin Xueqi's long eyelashes trembled slightly, she closed her eyes slightly, the corners of her mouth hooked up a shallow smile, her voice was soft, like the weak cry of a newborn kitten, "Okay." She said lightly.

"In broad daylight, is it really good for you to abuse the prince like this!" A loud voice interrupted the rare warmth between Lin Xueqi and Mo Xichen.

Lin Xueqi was shocked in her heart, but she didn't turn her head, she could recognize who it was just by this voice, "Let's go, ignore him." "She's almost forgotten that she still has business to do.

Lin Xueqi pulled Mo Xichen past that person, ignored him, and walked towards Songxi Garden. As long as he didn't follow, she could take a detour to the study, and if she did, she would be sent away.

Gu Youqi's eyes flashed with loneliness, and then he followed, with a smile on his face, "I said, if you want to show it, go back to show it, don't show affection in a crowded place." Do you know? Prince Ben was about to be tortured to death along the way. ”

Seeing that he was about to come to Lin Xueqi, Mo Xichen reached out and took Lin Xueqi in his arms, silently indicating that she was his belongings.

"How did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come out under this scorching sun? Not with your lovely sister? This princess has an urgent matter and takes her leave. As soon as Lin Xueqi finished speaking, Mo Xichen directly performed light skills, a little on tiptoe, and ran in the direction of Songxi Garden, until he couldn't see Gu Youqi, he immediately changed his route.

"Don't contact him in the future." Mo Xichen's thin lips opened lightly, and he gave the order to die.

"Okay." Lin Xueqi nodded, and after thinking about it, she said, "What if I have something to ask him for help in the future?"

Since Gu Youqi has been living in the palace recently, why didn't she use his identity to help her? Maybe that's good too.

"Nope." Mo Xichen refused coldly, he didn't know why he couldn't see him approaching other men, this feeling made him unhappy.

"Here we are."

Mo Xichen let go of Lin Xueqi's waist, Lin Xueqi entered through the door of the study, and when Mo Xichen came in, she closed it gently and went to check the window.

She was relieved to find that the window could be opened. Glancing around the study, walking to the table, looking at the emperor's messy desk, she looked at the things, and between the lines she thought was important in her mind, she was stunned when she saw a blank piece of paper.

It was a painting, probably painted by the emperor when he was a child, the lines were very childish, and there were two figures on it, one was him, and the other was probably his imperial sister, her mother.

On the painting, they smiled very happily, and in the lower right corner of the paper, there was a line of small letters, which read: "Sister Huang, your daughter has grown up and has become more and more like you, just like you back then."

Lin Xueqi looked at this painting and was a little distracted, and then she pressed the painting down to the bottom of those books and began to look at the treasures on the shelves.

When she saw a golden toad holding a copper coin, she was puzzled. This golden toad really can't see its drawbacks if you don't look closely, and the mechanism is actually in its eyes.

Lin Xueqi straightened Jin Toad's eyes, and with a crisp 'click' sound, the shelves parted from the middle, revealing a dark secret room.

Mo Xichen wasn't much surprised, he walked up to Lin Xueqi and took her little hand, "Follow me." With that, he took her in, lit the oil lamp on the wall, and the secret room lit up instantly, and Lin Xueqi's eyes also saw the layout clearly.

"It's quite profound." Lin Xueqi smiled softly. She had to admire the fact that the secret room could be invented in ancient times.

As Lin Xueqi and Mo Xichen went deeper and deeper, the space of the secret room became larger and larger, and Lin Xueqi noticed that there was no trap in this secret room.

Did the emperor himself not realize it, or did he just want others to find out? Soon, though, she threw the second thought out of her mind.

If others knew his secret, then he would have to give up his position as emperor, and I am afraid that even he would not want to do this.

"Look what it is." Mo Xichen pointed to a wooden box not far away and turned his head to look at Lin Xueqi.

Lin Xueqi broke free of his hand, walked quickly to the stone table, picked up the wooden box to check, and found that it was locked, and she was quite distressed.

Keys, where is she going to get them? Is she going to go home empty-handed again?
