I have flowers, do you have pots?

Mo Zhi has grown in the north since the seedlings, and this is the first time he has seen bamboo forests in the south of the Yangtze River. As soon as he settled down, he ran out excitedly to touch around.It wasn't until Mu Xianyu had sorted out her mother's belongings that the little flower demon ran in from the door panting, her eyes still shining brightly: "Little brother, there are many swallows in the forest——I didn't know about them." Autumn is coming here!"

"As the geese from the north return to the south, so do the swallows."

Mu Xianyu smiled and nodded, stood up and opened his arms towards him, and the little guy automatically ran over.Obediently, Mu Xianyu took off his coat for him, took the handkerchief and wiped his face, and then couldn't help but wonder: "Northern geese return to the south, which means that the geese will return to the south in winter...then the south is where they are." home?"

"That's not necessarily the case, it's probably just that the first person who coined this word was in the south."

Mu Xianyu was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help laughing, shook his head lightly, and sat on the side of the couch with the little guy together: "Or——people say that migratory birds return to the south, but it's because it's comfortable and warm here, and the food is abundant. Birds live much more comfortably here than in the north..."

"Then why do they go back north again?"

There was some doubt in Mo Zhi's eyes, he frowned slightly and raised his head, and said softly, "If the south is more comfortable, then just stay here—why go back to the north again? ?”

Unexpectedly, Mo Zhi would ask such a question without hesitation, Mu Xianyu couldn't help but pause for breath, and after a moment of silence, he smiled lightly and gently rubbed the little guy's head: "Because they Their nests, their descendants, are still in the north. They have to go back, because there is still a constant connection there—just like people. When you know that there is someone waiting for you in a place, you Whatever you say, you must return to that place, no matter how long it takes or how much energy you spend... Mo Zhi, do you want to hear a story?"

The little flower demon has been alone in this world since she was born, and even her husband disappeared halfway through planting, and has never had any other contact except her little brother.But as long as he thought of the feeling that he didn't want to be separated from his little brother, he nodded vigorously, moved to the edge of the couch, and pulled Mu Xianyu's sleeve to ask him to sit down together.

Mu Xianyu followed his strength and sat on the side of the couch, hugged the boy's still thin body, and gently pressed his shoulder: "My mother——when she gave birth to me, the month was actually wrong... ...Do you know that people should conceive in October? But after the mother was diagnosed with the pregnancy, according to the previous months, the father should not have been in Beijing at that time."

Mo Zhi has been in the human world for some time, and now he can understand such a slightly complicated logic, he frowned slightly and nodded slightly: "I understand, this is the explanation - it means that the little brother's mother may not be with you. The emperor has a child..."

"Yes, the only explanation is that my mother had an affair with someone else."

Mu Xianyu smiled wryly, held his arm slightly tighter, and said quietly after a moment of silence: "In the royal family, this is a great shame and shame, and it is also a great treason. The father and the mother have a deep relationship, and I can't bear to imprison the mother. The cold palace just wants the mother to give birth to this unidentified fetus. But the mother refuses to agree no matter what, even at the cost of death, she must keep the child... The father was furious, but after all, he couldn't let go of his old love, So he imprisoned the queen mother in the cold palace, and the next day, the royal driver personally marched and left the capital far away."

Mo Zhi's throat tightened when he heard this, and he subconsciously grabbed his little brother's hand, pursed his lips and looked up at him.Mu Xianyu seemed to be extremely calm, but there seemed to be some kind of intense emotion flickering in the depths of those eyes that were accustomed to gentle smiles, and he paused for a moment before softly saying: "Although the father left Beijing with anger, after all I was still worried about my mother. I thought I would be able to come back in time after the victory, but unexpectedly, my mother was exhausted in the deep palace for seven months, and her vitality and blood were exhausted. She gave birth to a baby boy and finally passed away. ...The strange thing is that the father hurried back all the way, and after a blood drop to recognize his relatives, he discovered that the baby and the father's blood could completely fuse."

"Doesn't that mean—"

Mo Zhi couldn't help but exclaimed, feeling that this story really made people feel a chill down their backs.Sensing the little guy's faint trembling, Mu Xianyu took him into his arms again, and gently ran down his back comfortingly: "Father was shocked to the extreme. After searching all the way, I found out that someone secretly laid down the mother's hand." The medicine that can cover up the fetal breath caused the imperial doctor to calculate the wrong month. After learning the truth, the father was distraught, and in a rage, he executed the imperial physician who had diagnosed the pulse at the beginning, but he could no longer save the queen mother's life..."

His voice has become a little hoarse, but his expression is still indifferent, as if he has accepted such a fate that is almost a joke: "This is the truth about the dystocia at the time. Even the second brother was too young to be born at that time. I know, if I hadn’t overheard the conversation between Father Huang and Shang Wang once, I would never have figured it out—why Father Huang Dudu was so unwilling to see me, why my grandfather would want to get me out of this world Just obliterate it, why since I was born, it seems that everyone is looking forward to disappearing as soon as possible..."

"It's not like that—little brother, no..."

Mo Zhi suddenly hugged him tightly, shook his head vigorously, and tears could not stop streaming down his cheeks: "There is also brother Ming, and uncle... the little brother's brother is always there , and—and I..."

"Okay, okay, don't cry... Mister hasn't cried yet, why are you crying first?"

Mu Xianyu smiled helplessly, wiped away the tears of the little guy in his arms with his sleeve, and rubbed his forehead comfortingly: "This is just a story, after the story is finished, the days have to go Exactly. As you said, I still have Jiming, my uncle, my second brother, and you by my side—if it wasn’t like this, why would I have to travel all the way to Jiangnan? Wait until I figure out what I want to know After the matter is cleared up and everything that needs to be dealt with is finished, I still have to go back to the capital. I still have constant contact there, even if it's for nothing else, I should always give my mother a clear explanation."

"I will go wherever my little brother goes, and I will always be by my side!"

Mo Zhi raised his head solemnly and opened his mouth as if to swear, but the eyes were still full of tears.A soft and gentle smile filled Mu Xianyu's eyes, leaned over slightly and kissed his forehead lightly, nodded and said seriously: "Okay, we will always be together, no matter where we go, we will never be apart."

Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something again.He patted the little guy on the shoulder to signal him to sit still, and he quickly went to get a delicate little box and came back, holding it in his hand with a smile and shaking it: "My mother left it for me, and told me to marry a wife." For—guess what?"

"what……"

The little flower demon has somewhat understood the meaning of marrying a daughter-in-law, her face couldn't help turning red, fiddling with her sleeves awkwardly, although she didn't answer right away, her eyes were full of anticipation and curiosity.After all, Mu Xianyu was still worried that the little guy would bloom again and again, so he didn't dare to tease him too much, so he sat back on the side of the couch and opened the box to show him: "Actually, I just found out that it was left by my mother for me to marry a wife. I was also worried that it might be hairpins and red makeup that can only be used by women, but I didn't think—mother thought very carefully..."

Although Mo Zhi was shy, he couldn't help being curious no matter what.Quietly peeking into the box, her eyes lit up: "I recognize this one, this one is called Yupei—the one that my little brother brought with a picture of a sika deer is also a jade pendant!"

"It's called Crane and Deer Tongchun, not Sika Deer—it's a piece of yin and yang concentric, and it's specially worn by two people. We have one piece for each of us, okay?"

Mu Xianyu couldn't help laughing, rubbed the little guy's head, and asked warmly.Mo Zhi hurriedly nodded vigorously, his clear eyes were filled with a clear and bright smile, and Mu Xianyu's eyes couldn't help soaking in a little warm color. He took apart the pair of jade pendants in the shape of yin and yang fish, and revealed the bright white jade pendant. The piece is tied around the neck for the little guy.

"The letter left by my mother said that she will always be with these two pieces of jade pendant, guarding the two of us... Mo Zhi, before I met you, I didn't believe in ghosts and gods. After I met you, I suddenly felt that the gods The Buddha, in fact, is all merciful."

Mo Zhi's delicate face couldn't stop being flushed with blood, and his eyebrows and eyes curved into a joyful and gentle arc.Carefully picked up another piece of light blue jade pendant, knelt up straight and imitated my little brother and tied it carefully for him, put the two jade pendants together in the palm of my hand, clasped my palms together and closed my eyes softly Said: "Mother, I will stay with my little brother well - I will go to you in advance in the next life, and I will make sure that you are all well, and I will not let the bad guys secretly harm you..."

His expression was extremely serious, obviously not just talking.Mu Xianyu didn't expect the little guy to have thought of this step, his eyes couldn't help being a little surprised, and gradually turned into an extremely gentle color of water, and he pulled the young man's still thin body into his arms with all his strength: " Mo Zhi - don't look up..."

He never wanted to shed tears in front of Mo Zhi, and he always wanted that clear and touching smile to remain between the young man's clean eyebrows.But there will always be times when the tears come out disobediently, no matter what, it is hard to control myself, and I just want to completely put aside the lumps that have been suppressed in my chest for too many years and those too heavy past events, and cry happily field.

"If only we could have met sooner."

As if he also understood Mu Xianyu's mind, Mo Zhi remained obedient and motionless, docilely fell in that familiar embrace, and lightly rubbed against his chest: "If I could meet him sooner, I would definitely I have been with my little brother all the time. Beat off those who bully my little brother, and make the pots in their house leak, and no flowers can grow..."
