Born of Worry

When the two came out of Ru Yuexuan, Li Xian asked: "Third brother, who is that Ru Yue?"

Li Ye directly slapped him on the head: "You brat, what were you talking about just now? She knows that I like men, and she also knows that I have Lin Ruxuan."

Li Xian covered his head and muttered dissatisfiedly, "So what if you know, it doesn't matter who you like, it doesn't prevent her from liking you...but she is 22 years old, the same age as you...maybe a little older than you. Isn't it too old?"

"...shut up, you!"

"What did I say wrong again..." Li Xian was very wronged, "You still haven't told me, who is she?"

Li Ye scolded him and said, "Do you still have the face to ask this? I want to ask you, how did you meet her? Why did she agree with you and insist on betting against you?"

"I don't know her... I just accidentally bumped into her when I was going out to relieve myself, and I apologized to her! Who knows why she is holding on to me..."

"Really, you troublemaker, you know how to cause trouble for me everywhere."

Li Xian was even more aggrieved, "Third brother, how can you blame me, you are the one who tricked me into this kind of place!"

"That's right, you're right."

"You haven't said who she is!"

Li Ye was so entangled by him that he couldn't help it, "Hey, I said you...are you the emperor, you live in the capital every day, and you don't even know about Ruyue?"

"I don't know... Her real name is Kisaragi?"

"Her surname is Xiao, Xiao Ruyue. Ruyuexuan Ruyuexuan, her name is Ruyue, don't you understand?"

"I understand this, but what's the difference between her and an ordinary girl?"

"Of course there is a difference. Although Miss Ruyue is in Ruyuexuan, she is famous for her artistic skills. Her qin, flute, Xiao, and Xun are all proficient. Among them, the qin is the most outstanding, but no one has heard of her. It is said that her piano sound is only for the person she likes to listen to. Occasionally, someone has heard her practice the piano, and they only know that the sound of the piano is full of clouds. Of course...these are all passed on by others. Know."

Li Ye paused, and continued: "She will come out to play or perform dances every once in a while, and every time at this time, the people in the capital will flock to Ruyuexuan one after another, and that scene is called a big... no Xiaoxian, I remember I took you to see it a few years ago, don't you have any impression?"

"I have no impression... How long have you known her?"

"It's been six or seven years. I've known her since the second or third year we came to Weiyang. No, don't change the subject. I really took you to see it. It seems more than once. You really Haven't the slightest impression of you?"

"No, no..."

Li Ye looked at him contemptuously, and said, "What kind of shitty memory do you have. Forget it, you only care about eating whatever I take you to see, so what can you remember?"

"..."

"Anyway, in recent years, she has had fewer activities like this, and she has faded out of people's sight a bit. She used to be afraid of being harassed, so she didn't live in Ruyuexuan, and she only moved back in the past few years. To meet her today, It's also fate."

"Oh……"

The two hired a carriage and went back to the palace. Li Ye went straight to Wofeng Palace, while Li Xian walked slowly back to Yulong Palace alone. Every step he took, his heart became heavier and his expression became gloomy, as if He was not the one who was joking with Li Ye just now.From a long distance away, he saw Mo Wen waiting for him in front of the hall, he frowned, paused a step before continuing to move forward.

Mo Wen walked down the steps to greet him: "Xiao Xian, where have you been? How did you come back?"

Li Xian ignored him and continued walking.

"What kind of smell do you have... Did you go..."

"Where I go is none of your business!" Li Xian's anger that had been suppressed for a long time finally broke out, and he looked up at him, "Mo Wen! Don't go too far!"

"...Xiao Xian?"

Mo Wen was dumbfounded.

He was fine when he went out in the morning, why did he...

"Is anyone bothering you?"

Li Xian ignored him, so he went forward and grabbed his wrist, but was thrown away forcefully, "You have to be ashamed!"

"...???" Mo Wen lost patience with his unreasonable anger, "What's the matter?!"

"You ask yourself!"

"How can I ask myself?!" Mo Wen grabbed his wrist forcefully, "If you have something to say, go back and tell me, don't be ashamed here!"

Li Xian was dragged all the way back to the palace by him, and finally got rid of him, angrily said: "Get lost!"

Mo Wen was also angry: "Why are you yelling at me! Tell me clearly!"

"Are you still pretending to be stupid?!"

"Li Xian!"

"Okay, you don't know, right? Let me remind you! Let me ask you, how do you know that I have practiced martial arts!"

"I said it was your third brother..."

"You're still lying!"

"..."

Li Xian's anger rose another three points, and he stared at him with his neck up. He stood on tiptoe unconsciously: "Do you really think I'm stupid! Is it true or not? I won't ask myself?! Or do you think I will believe you?" Don't you believe my third brother?!"

Mo Wen pursed his lips.

"Also, I found out that you came to my side for ten days. How did you know that I like to eat cherries! Why since I came to Weiyang, the growth of the cherry orchard here is getting better every year!"

Mo Wen was speechless: "I..."

Li Xian continued to ask, "How do you know I'm afraid of mice! Why haven't I seen a single mouse in Weiyang City all these years!"

"..."

"why……"

"Xiao Xian," Mo Wen interrupted him, closed his eyes, and his hot heart cooled down, and said, "Stop talking..."

"Stop talking, okay, then tell yourself, how many years have you been by my side? How many years have you been observing me secretly?!"

His tone was very slow and deep, almost saying every word: "I... have never done anything... that is not good for you..."

"That's right, you're right," Li Xian laughed angrily, "I climbed a tree and fell when I was five years old, and somehow fell onto the lawn three feet away without being injured; when I was six years old, I was punished by a private school teacher for not reciting books well. Inexplicably, the ruler broke; I went to steal a neighbor’s chicken with my third brother at the age of eight, but somehow he was discovered but I didn’t; at the age of 12, I was practicing martial arts with my elder brother, and I fell down accidentally when I was fighting with him, and almost got blinded. However, the tip of his sword was inexplicably off by an inch, and I was not injured at all... I thought it was God who blessed me, but it turned out that it was all because of you!"

"It's me...it's all me..." Mo Wen looked sad, "But, I helped you, so where did I go wrong?"

"Since you are willing to help me, why aren't you willing to help my mother! Why were you not around during the years when my mother fell ill and died!"

He was stunned for a moment, almost incredulous, "...Are you angry with me because of this?"

"More than that! I'm angry at you for lying! Angry at you for lying to me! Angry at you for sneaking into my life! Angry at you for refusing to tell me anything!"

"Really..." Mo Wen suddenly smiled, but there was no smile in his smile, "Okay, I admit my mistake, I admit that I lied to you, I admit that I am a pervert peeping at you, I admit everything you say." His lips were bitter, "So? Are you trying to let me go now?"

"I..." Li Xian suddenly lost his confidence, roared and most of his anger subsided, he hurriedly turned around and said, "I don't want to see you for now."

As he spoke, he walked towards the study room. He didn't dare to look back, but he vaguely heard Mo Wen's whisper: "Okay... I understand..."

"ink……"

Li Xian was startled, and turned around again, but Mo Wen was nowhere to be seen.

"Mo asked..."

Mo Wen left.

For the first time in three years, he left without explaining anything.

He drove him away with his own hands.

He didn't know why there was a space suddenly empty in his heart, and he was gripped tightly. He lost his strength and fell on the bench in the Imperial Study Room. The animal skin on the chair was still warm and soft.

Li Xian... what are you... doing?

When he looked up by chance, he saw that on the window sill facing his desk, there was an extra flower pot at some point, and there was a small seedling in it, which was blown by the wind and gently shook the young leaves.

"What did you say? Xiao Xian and Mo Wen... quarreled, quarreled?!"

"It's absolutely true. The servant heard it with his own eyes... with his own ears."

Li Ye's eyes were about to pop out, "This is impossible, it must be that you heard it wrong!"

"Oh, Your Highness!" The little eunuch was about to die of anxiety, "I dare not lie to anyone! If you don't believe me, go and have a look. Your Majesty is in the imperial study right now, throwing waste paper all over the floor, and holding a pot of soil. I don't know what I'm looking at. Go over and have a look!"

When Li Ye rushed to the imperial study, he saw balls of paper all over the floor, and a writing brush was dropped, and the ink was spilled all over the floor.And Li Xian was holding a small flower pot there, staring intently at the unknown plant inside.

Somehow, the whole flower pot was slightly warmed by Mo Wen.There was no brazier in the room, but the winter chill was cut off by an invisible force when it got three inches closer to the flower pot.

"Xiao Xian...what's the matter with you?"

Li Xian didn't seem to hear him, and said to himself: "This is Epiphyllum... I remember when I was a child, my mother planted a plant of Epiphyllum, and at that time, my greatest wish was to see Epiphyllum bloom, but...not even once. Can wait, always can't wait for it to bloom, and then fall asleep."

"Little Xian..."

Li Xian's eyes were blank, "It turns out that he disappeared all afternoon, just to get back this epiphyllum plant that has been cultivated for many days... Oh, but as for me, I actually... drove him away with my own hands." He sneered, "Sheng Mien, Dou Michou... Hehe, I didn't expect that I... am also this kind of person."

Li Ye sat next to him, "Xiao Xian, don't be like this, what's the matter with you, tell third brother, third brother will help you solve it... What's wrong with your face?" He suddenly saw Li Xian's right cheek. A five-finger mark, "Who hit you?! Was it Mo Wen?!"

"No, how could he be willing to hit me." Li Xian touched the leaves of the flower plant lightly, as if he was afraid of breaking them.

"Could it be that you did it yourself?!"

Li Xian didn't deny it, and Li Ye seemed to think he was unreasonable: "Why bother! It's a big Chinese New Year, what conflicts or misunderstandings do you have, just let it go? Why bother to torture yourself?!"

"I don't know." Li Xian put the flower pot in a corner of the desk, "Third brother, do you think I'm cheap?" Before he could answer, he said, "How can I be such a failure? An emperor can't control his subjects well; a son can't be filial to his mother; ..."

Li Ye looked at him very worriedly, "Xiao Xian, don't be like this, I'll go get him back, and I'll let him make it clear to you, you two will be fine if you talk about it, and you will be fine in the future. Listen Third brother, I will go find him now."

"Don't..."

"You wait here, I'll go get him right away!"

"Don't go..." Li Xian murmured, but Li Ye had already gone far away, "He won't let you find him..."
