Chapter 241 The mysterious gift

"Princess Pingxi, do you know what you are talking about! This painting was painted by the Holy Master himself. How could there be any spell on it? You..."

The imperial concubine didn't wait for Su Shixia to finish what she said before she was eager to refute.

Su Shixia didn't pay much attention to her at all. She touched the back of the painting with her fingertips and tore off a piece of the backing paper used to mount the painting.

The imperial concubine's brows jumped heavily, and she immediately turned her head to look at the pilgrimage.

However, the Holy Emperor just stared at Su Shixia's actions quietly, without speaking or intending to stop it.

Su Shixia seemed to be confident, and the movements of her hands looked very forceful, but in fact they were very measured.

The piece of backing paper that was torn off was also very particular. Looking inside through the torn hole, you can clearly see that there are indeed dark yellow traces of spells on the back of the portrait.

"Your Majesty, please take a look."

Su Shixia uncovered the two places that she felt were strange, allowing the contents inside to be fully exposed, and then walked up to the Holy Master holding the portrait.

"When this portrait was being framed, someone embedded a charm on the back of the portrait."

Su Shixia said: "The two talismans correspond exactly to the position where the backs of the two figures are facing the hearts."

"In order to ensure that the portrait itself is not damaged, I cannot directly take out the talisman inside, but just by looking at the talisman, I can see that the talisman written on it should be the birth dates of the two people."

"Well, so what?"

The expression on the Holy Master's face was calm.

"I painted this portrait to commemorate Concubine Shu and the second prince. I also sealed their horoscopes in the painting to remember their birthdays. What's wrong with this?"

Su Shixia's hand holding the portrait froze slightly, and she suddenly raised her head to look at Emperor Dongling.

"Your Majesty, you mean that you personally ordered these two talismans to be sealed in this portrait?"

Emperor Dongling nodded calmly.

"good."

Su Shixia's eyes flashed, and this time she didn't say a word, she just knelt down holding the painting.

"I don't know the importance of this. I thought I discovered something strange in the painting and damaged the painting. I misunderstood Your Majesty's good intentions towards Concubine Shu and the Second Prince. Please punish me!"

"Oh, you are really interesting. You are quick with your actions and just as quick with admitting your mistakes."

The Holy Sage laughed, and seemed not to be angry at all. He just said calmly: "Get up. Since you don't know what's going on, and your intentions are good, I won't argue with you this time."

Su Shixia thanked him and as soon as he stood up, the Holy Master turned around and glared at Mr. Mo who was standing aside.

"You guard is so ignorant! What are you doing standing here? Why don't you hang up the portrait again? The time of worship is coming soon, so don't delay the business."

Su Shixia glanced at Mr. Mo silently, without saying much, and cooperatively handed the painting back to Mr. Mo's hand.

The imperial concubine seemed to vaguely hear that there was something wrong in the tone of the conversation between the Holy Lord and Mr. Mo. She stared at Mr. Mo with a somewhat probing look for a while, but in the end she didn't see anything interesting.

Seeing Mr. Mo hang the portrait back up again, the Holy Spirit really had no intention of pursuing the matter any further, so she looked away angrily.

Everything went smoothly after that. The Holy Emperor and Su Shixia worshiped Concubine Shu and the second prince together. While waiting for the paper money in the brazier to burn out, he also told Su Shixia a lot about his relationship with Concubine Shu back then.

Old things.

"My Ling'er was about the same age as your son is now."

The Holy Emperor lowered his eyes and looked at Xiao Qin Zhan, caressing Xiao Qin Zhan's little head with his generous hand, his eyes were a little vacant, as if he was looking at the shadow of the second prince through Xiao Qin Zhan.

"The last time I met him was also on the eve of my birthday. That night, he sat in my arms, put his arms around my neck, and told me mysteriously that he had promised me a very powerful gift.

, he will give me a surprise when he personally presents it to me on my birthday tomorrow."

"It's a pity that I didn't get that surprise after all. To this day, I still don't know what the gift he wanted to give me was."

The more the Holy Father spoke, the more serious his tone became.

The imperial concubine turned her head and gently wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, looking like she couldn't bear to listen carefully.

Su Shixia and Mr. Mo all lowered their heads and looked at their noses and hearts, and no one was talking nonsense.

On the contrary, Xiao Qin Zhan, after all, is young and easily gets emotional.

After hearing what the Holy One said, he burst into tears, took the Holy One's hand and whispered: "Your Majesty, I don't know what birthday gift the second prince wants to give you, but I know that if he is still alive, he will give it to you on your birthday.

On the 2nd, he will definitely say happy birthday to you. He will definitely hope that you can be happy all the time and doesn’t want to make you sad.”

"Does he... really hope that I can always be happy?"

Emperor Dongling's voice was slightly hoarse.

Xiao Qin Zhan nodded vigorously, "Of course! You are his father! Just like every parent wants their children to be safe and healthy, we children also hope that our parents can be happy every day!"

Xiao Qin Zhan said this sincerely.

But after he finished speaking, he couldn't help but get entangled.

He really hopes that his mother can be happy every day, but his father...

Well, forget it, don't think too much, his father and the second prince's father are different, so we can't generalize. Under normal circumstances, children should like their fathers!

Xiao Qin Zhan didn't show any expression on his face, but his heart was already turning over and over again.

The Holy Emperor smiled and stroked his little head, and sighed in a low voice, "If he really had such thoughts back then, then I only hope... if he has a spirit in heaven, he can still think like this now.

."

Xiao Qin Zhan nodded cooperatively, but there was a vague feeling in his heart that His Majesty's words sounded a little strange.

The Holy One did not explain any more, nor did he stay any longer. Seeing that the time was almost up, he left with the imperial concubine.

Before leaving, the imperial concubine specially pulled Su Shixia aside and explained to her in a low voice, saying that she had also said before that His Majesty had been in a bad mood recently, and she was afraid that His Majesty would blame Su Shixia, so she deliberately

He blamed Mr. Mo for everything.

"In the end, he is just a guard! When it's time to push him out, you have to push him out to block you. Remember, in this palace, self-preservation must be the first priority at all times!

"

He sounded considerate and well-intentioned for Su Shixia, as if she was not the one who deliberately provoked him in front of the Holy Master just now.

Su Shixia knew that the imperial concubine did not want to quarrel with her head-on, so she smiled and said that she understood, and then politely sent the imperial concubine and the emperor out of Zhaoyun Palace.

When Zhaoyun Palace became quiet again, Su Shixia took Xiao Qin Zhan directly back to the guest room to rest.

The door is closed and the candle is extinguished.

Xiao Qin Zhan had fallen asleep on the bed, but Su Shixia was still sitting quietly at the table, as if waiting for someone.

After a while, the window swung and a figure flashed into the house.

Mr. Mo walked slowly to her side, "I got the things for you."
