Born of Worry

Mo Wen changed Li Xian to a comfortable position and lay down, tucked in the corners of the quilt, and unconsciously raised his brows, but he couldn't relax them no matter what.

He had indeed cast a sound-proof spell, but just because Li Xian couldn't hear him didn't mean he couldn't hear either. The quarrel between the two had fallen into his ears verbatim.He looked at Li Xian for a while, then suddenly got up and walked out the door.

The two people outside were shocked when they saw him come out. Mo Wen glanced at them and said, "The forbidden area of ​​the palace is not a place for you to argue. I don't care if you have any disputes, but please change to another place so as not to disturb His Majesty's rest." .”

"..."

Mo Wen didn't pay any attention to them, and walked straight between the two of them, without transforming into a dragon or using lightness skills, he just strode towards the distance.

How long is a human life...?

How long is the life of the dragon...?

Mo asked, have you really thought about it?

Although he is still young, one day he will grow up and grow old. When he is old or gone, you... what are you going to do?

In a long life, I fell in love for the first time, what exactly... how will it end...

"Hey, I said the surname is Mo, I finally found you!" Li Ye climbed up to the top of the Dragon Palace and sat down, "Damn, I'm exhausted, this place is really fucking high ah."

Mo Wen ignored him, and his eyes fell on the front, and he didn't know what he was looking at.

"You still drink? What kind of wine, give me a taste?" Li Ye snatched the wine gourd in his hand, took a sip, and was immediately sprayed out by the heat, "What do I rely on?! Is this wine?" ? This can drink to death!"

Mo Wen took back the wine gourd and drank a few sips, "Sometimes...it's painful not being able to get drunk."

"I quarreled with my second brother, you heard it. I'm really sorry, we shouldn't..."

"Xiao Xian didn't hear it, so there's nothing worth apologizing for."

"Then why do you want to drink alone here?"

"No reason." Mo Wen took a deep breath, "Sometimes I often think, why am I a dragon? If I am not a dragon, can I grow old with him? But if I am not a dragon... so what? Will I meet him?" He spun the wine gourd and smiled wryly, "Is that what the so-called can't have it both ways?"

Li Ye was a little embarrassed, and didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only say, "You...don't have to be so pessimistic, right? After all, the days are still long, maybe..."

"Maybe? Xiao Xian had planned to abdicate a long time ago, and by then, I might...not be able to guard him anymore."

Li Ye was taken aback, and hurriedly made a "stop" gesture: "Wait, wait, what are you talking about? Xiao Xian is going to abdicate?! He has only been in office for two years! Besides, he is talented, why is he about to abdicate? !"

"The throne doesn't suit him, and he doesn't like it either."

"... Then why do you say that you can't guard him after he abdicates? What does it matter?"

Mo Wen sighed silently, and his eyes dimmed a little, "My duty is to protect the emperor within the allowed range. If he doesn't become emperor, then I should go."

"What if I stay?"

"This is an agreement between the dragon clan and human beings. It has not been changed for thousands of years. If you insist on staying, you will be punished by heaven."

The two of them didn't talk for a while, and it seemed that this topic could not go any further. Li Ye looked down, only to see the majestic palace blocking all the hustle and bustle outside.

Here... It's really too far away from Hangzhou...

Mo Wen frowned suddenly and let out a "tsk".

"how?"

"Little Xian is awake." After Mo Wen finished speaking, he turned into a black mist and headed towards the Dragon Palace.

"Hey! Don't go!" Li Ye yelled, "If you really want to drink, go to Ruyuexuan to drink 'Watching the Moon'!...Damn it, come back! How can I go down!"

"Mo asked..."

"Well, I'm here."

"Hmph..." Li Xian didn't know what he was talking about in a daze, but felt warm and comfortable all over... Of course, it was on the premise of not moving.

It took him a long time to finally wake up, and when he saw Mo Wen sitting by the bed, he blushed a little, "Well... no one is looking for me, right?"

"No."

"Oh...that's good. By the way, does the second brother know? I remember he was there..."

"So what if you know? You can hide it from the first day of the junior high school, but you can't hide it from the fifteenth day. Sooner or later, you have to know."

"It seems... that's right... Ouch, my waist... hurts so much!"

Mo Wen held him down, "Don't move around, I'll rub it for you."

"Oh... well, don't mess around!"

Mo Wen smiled helplessly, "I won't mess around, you lie on your stomach."

"it is good……"

Li Xian turned himself over with great difficulty, Mo Wen massaged his waist, and after a while he suddenly said: "Xiao Xian... I'm sorry."

"Eh? Why are you apologizing?"

"Last night... I shouldn't have been so..." Mo Wen sighed, "It's my fault, I won't be like this in the future."

Li Xian's eyes widened in surprise, "You actually apologized to me for this? I asked for it first yesterday, and I like it. What can you feel guilty about?"

"Xiao Xian, you really scared me to death when you fainted today, do you know that?"

He suddenly lost his confidence: "I...my...I was scared by my second brother..."

Mo Wen rubbed his head, "It's all my fault, I took you out without adding more clothes. You have to feel sorry for yourself, the weather is already very cold, so it's not the time to mess around."

Li Xian blushed a little at what he said, "Oh... got it! Mo asked why you are so long-winded today..."

"The long-windedness is also for your own good. You are so squeamish and don't know how to cherish yourself."

"I'm not squeamish..."

The so-called one autumn rain and one cold, several rains in succession, the weather in Weiyang suddenly became cold, people added clothes and lit braziers to prepare for the coming cold winter.

"call……"

Sitting in the long corridor outside the Dragon Palace, Li Xian breathed out a breath of white air. The air after the rain was still exceptionally fresh. There were a few scattered clouds in the sky, blown slowly by the autumn wind, and he didn't know where he was going.

"Get up," Mo Wen suddenly appeared in front of him, frowning, "Do you dare to sit if you're wet or not?"

"It's not wet, I've touched it and it's all dry."

"That's not okay, if it's rained and the cold stays inside, how can you bear it?"

Li Xian pursed his lips: "...I'm not that delicate, okay?"

Mo Wen stopped reasoning with him, and directly picked him up and put him on the ground. Li Xian looked at him helplessly, touched his nose, and said nothing.

"Little Xian."

"Ok?"

"This...you put it away." Mo Wen took out something and handed it to him as if conjuring, Li Xian was very surprised: "Hey, what is this?"

"Dragon scale. There is my mana infused on it. It will be warmer in winter and cooler in summer."

"So miraculous?"

Li Xian took over the black dragon scale, which had been carefully made into a pendant, which was threaded with a black string.

Mo Wen put the dragon scale on his neck, "You wear it, if you encounter any danger, I can sense it immediately."

Li Xian touched the slightly warm dragon scales, stuffed them into his clothes, and said with a smile: "What danger can I have, will someone come to assassinate me?"

Mo Wen became serious, "This kind of joke is not allowed. It's cold outside, go back."

"Yeah." Li Xian said as he walked, "By the way, don't you think...it's raining a little bit lately?"

"what happened?"

He looked up at the clouds in the sky, "I remember that there was not so much rain in autumn in previous years. I was wondering... the Huai River is dry, and the Wei River here... will it..."

"Don't think blindly."

Li Xian stopped suddenly and looked up at him seriously: "I'm not just thinking, Mo asked, isn't everything in this world balanced? If there is no rain in a place for several months, then it should have fallen in Will the rain there fall in other places? So that the total rainfall can be balanced with previous years?"

Mo Wen was a little surprised, "Who taught you that?"

"No one taught me... that's all I think. Aren't you dragons in charge of making wind and rain? It should be very clear..."

Mo Wen pondered for a moment, and said: "What you said is not unreasonable, but not all dragons are in charge of making wind and rain, such as me, my duty is to protect you, if I go to make wind and rain, it is beyond the scope, and There are strict regulations on things like rainfall, and they are not changed at will."

"That's it..." Li Xian murmured to himself, "I hope that...the drought won't continue..."

"Little Xian, I know that you really want to be a good emperor, but there are some things... that can't be achieved by 'thinking'. The so-called heaven fails to fulfill people's wishes, and we should stop forcing things that are beyond our power."

Li Xian took a deep breath, "I understand what you said, I know, I can't do it if I want everyone in the world to be better, but even if I know it can't be done, I still have to try to make them better, even if it's a drop in the bucket , is better than nothing."

"You have already done what you should do, and the rest... don't force yourself."

Li Xian pursed his lips and jumped off the topic, "... let's not talk about that. The second brother's wedding is still ten days away... Well, I promised my elder brother to ask for a name for his son... Oh my god..."

"Can't you just send someone there?"

"No, it's sincere to go in person, and this is the first child of the next generation of our Li family, so we can't be so hasty." He stroked his chin and thought about it seriously, "That day...that morning I I seem to be free, Mo asked, will you accompany me when the time comes?"

"Okay. But where are you going to ask?"

"Don't ask about this, just follow me."
