Born of Worry

Facts have proved that what Li Xian said is correct.

Li Ye has been looking for Ye Wan, but he has not found Mo Wen.

Li Xian, on the other hand, waited until the evening, and did not wait for Mo Wen to come back.

Weiyang is still very cold in winter, especially at night.Li Xian was wearing a sable fur and stood at the entrance of the Dragon Palace, looking at the already dark sky. There were stars hanging high in the sky, but their brilliance was also covered by the New Year's fireworks.

I don't know where Mo Wen... went.

Only now did he realize that the palace without the dragon was so... silent.

"Your Majesty, it's too cold outside, go back earlier." The eunuch followed behind, persuading.

"No, I want to stay for a while longer, it's also good to blow the cold wind. You just go back, you don't have to follow me."

"If your majesty doesn't go back, how dare the slave go back? The slave should accompany your majesty."

Li Xian was slightly annoyed, "If you are told to go back, go back, there is so much nonsense. Hurry up, don't let me chase you away."

"……Yes."

He drove away the eunuch, and continued to stand at the entrance of the hall to blow the cold wind.He didn't know when Mo Wen would come back, wouldn't he never come back? ...Probably not, didn't he say that his duty is to protect him... The duty is, he can't run away halfway... Besides, they have all drank the wine...

My mind is in a mess and I don't know what I'm thinking about, so I've become so dependent on him unconsciously.

Li Xian stood for a long time, his legs were a little sore, but he was still unwilling to leave. What if the dragon flew down from the night sky in a second?He thought, couldn't help but raised his head again.

There is nothing but the sparse stars in the dark night.

——Sure enough, it’s just self-deception.

He sighed, and was about to turn around to leave, but suddenly... He heard something.

It seems that... the glazed tiles on the roof of the hall made a slight noise when touched by someone.

Even Li Xian heard the movement, the guards of the palace couldn't have heard it, the few nearby had already held their spears and shouted: "Who!" "Who!"

"Your Majesty, this place is dangerous, please hurry back to the palace!"

Li Xian didn't have any intention of leaving. Of course he didn't believe that someone had assassinated him, and he didn't think it was a wild cat that ran across the roof of the temple. For some reason, he suddenly had a little hope in his heart, hoping that it was...

"Be careful, Your Majesty!" Two guards suddenly protected him behind him. Li Xian took a step back and vaguely saw a black object fall from above and hit the ground. The impact was quite heavy. Li Xian was in pain because of it. .The thing seemed to be in pain too. It let out a low growl, struggled twice, and then fell silent.

It's just... how does this sound sound like...

"Your Majesty..." The guard seemed a little embarrassed, and put down the gun he had raised, "Your Majesty, would you like...to take a look at...this..."

Li Xian pushed him away, but saw a black one lying on the ground, with a lin, horns, claws and a tail, it was clearly... a dragon.

"..."

He hurriedly squatted down to check if a certain dragon was broken. After all, the ceiling of the hall is still very high. Then he found that he was not broken, but he was fast asleep, his chest heaving and falling. snoring.

"Your Majesty... he seems to be drunk."

"Well, I smelled it."

Not only was he drunk, but he was not lightly drunk.Even the wind at night couldn't blow away the smell of alcohol on his body, and he didn't wake up after falling from such a high place, it must be how much alcohol he drank.

Li Xian squeezed the center of his eyebrows, but his heart sank back into his stomach, "You all back down."

"Yes."

"No, wait, carry him back to me first, and then you all back down."

"……Yes."

It was already very late when Li Ye returned to the palace. When he found Li Xian in the bedroom, he collapsed on the chair out of breath, "Little Xian, I, I really, really can't find him. I already... What's the smell? Why is there such a strong smell of wine? Have you been drinking?"

"I didn't drink. You don't have to go to him, he has come back by himself."

Only then did Li Ye see that a certain black dragon was occupying the wide dragon bed, and that black dragon was sleeping soundly without any image, and the smell of alcohol that filled the room was also emanating from him.

A basin of hot water was placed beside it, and Li Xian was using a wet towel to wipe Heilong's body.Heilong put his head on Li Xian's lap, breathing a little heavily, but still soundly asleep.

"He...how did he come back?"

"I don't know either. He was drunk and fell off the roof of the temple."

"Fall from... the top of the hall?" Li Ye opened his mouth, feeling incredible, "Then how long has he been there?"

"I don't know either. It may have been there for a long time, but no one has found out."

Li Ye curled his lips, thinking that he had sent someone to search for him for so long but hadn't found it, and that this guy was lying on the roof of his house, wouldn't it be a waste of time for him to search for it all afternoon and all night.But he thought so in his heart, but he didn't say it out of his mouth, he just said: "It's good to come back. The roof of this temple is so high, didn't he break it?"

"He's fine. He's just too drunk to wake up for a while."

"Well...then you take good care of him, don't let him run away again." She pondered again in her heart: what kind of wine could make Mo Wen so drunk?This wine is really strong... "It's getting late, I'll go back first, and you should go to bed earlier."

"Okay, then be careful, I won't send it away."

"It's only a few steps to Crouching Phoenix Palace, what else is there to give. Then I'm leaving."

"Ah."

Li Xian watched him leave, looked at the drunken dragon on his dragon bed, sighed, and took a lot of effort to move his dragon head away, pushing the dragon body to one side of the bed, while he was on the other side. Lie down on your side.

He was also very tired and had a headache from the smell of alcohol in the room. He pressed his temple and said, "How much wine did you drink..."

Of course it was impossible for a drunken dragon to respond to him, so he turned sideways. Although it was not the first time he had seen Mo Wen like this, he was still a little unaccustomed to it.Although Mo Wen's original form is also good-looking, it is not human after all, and it would be creepy for the timid.Although Li Xian didn't have any intention of fear, he still felt weird. When he thought about the appearance of the person he was with day and night, he felt a little... weird.

Li Xian looked at the black dragon's beard being blown by his own breath, and found it very funny. The uneasiness in his heart was not particularly obvious. He felt that the drunk Mo Wen seemed to be more fun than usual, at least he couldn't usually He revealed his original body and let him fiddle with it at will.

Perhaps the black dragon had some kind of dream, and suddenly leaned the dragon's head towards Li Xian. Li Xian disliked his alcoholic breath, frowned, but couldn't bear to avoid it. He stared at him for a long time, feeling that the position between his brows A piece of dragon scale seems a bit strange. This piece of dragon scale is slightly lighter in color than the others, smaller in size, and has no luster. In short, it is very out of gregarious, as if it grew out later.

Li Xian suddenly remembered something, pulled out the dragon scale pendant from his collar, compared it, and it really matched very well.

He felt very uncomfortable immediately. Although he didn't know what the meaning of this dragon scale was, it must be very painful to pull it off from the position between the eyebrows.He thought it was his shed scales, but he didn't expect it to be...

He couldn't help stretching out his hand to caress the new scale between Mo Wen's eyebrows, but Mo Wen didn't seem to want to be touched there. Even in his sleep, he let out a low growl, turned his head to one side, and pressed the dragon's claws at the same time. Li Xian's hand was caught.

"..."

Soon Mo Wen was silent again, Li Xian held his paw instead, squeezed it, only to find that the nails that were supposed to be sharp had been trimmed very smooth by him.He touched his dragon's spine again, although it was hard, it had no edges or corners.

Is he... fearing that the original shape would hurt him, so he smoothed out all the sharp things on his body?

Li Xian felt very uncomfortable, seemed to be more sad than before, put his head on top of Mo Wen's head—his black jade-like dragon horns had also been worn off at the tip—closed his eyes, pulled the quilt over his Wrapped up with myself.

Why are you so stupid...

You stupid dragon... so stupid you can...

Early the next morning, Li Ye received a notice unexpectedly.

"Miss Ruyue? Why does she want to see me?"

With [-]% doubts, he saw Ruyue in a tea shed not far from the palace, Ruyue poured him a cup of tea, and said: "It's really troublesome to His Royal Highness Yu Wang, who came all the way to see Ruyue, Ruyue is really flattered .”

"It's not far, it's not far. It just so happens that I'm going to Jian Wang's Mansion, drop by. What's the matter with Miss Ruyue? You came to see me so early."

"Of course there is something to do." She took out a three-inch high celadon bottle, "Yesterday that one really drank too much wine, 'Watching the Moon' is easy to get drunk and difficult to wake up, Ruyue is afraid that he won't wake up for too long, will Hurt the body. This is a hangover medicine specially prepared for 'Mochizuki', which can make him wake up sooner."

Li Ye was confused, "Huh?"

"It seems that His Royal Highness Prince Yu put in a lot of effort to listen to Ruyue's qin music, but Ruyue was convinced. His Highness found that person, and he really had an amazing drinking capacity. Ruyue has lived for 20 years, and this is the first time he has seen him. "

Li Ye was completely dumbfounded, he wanted to find someone to go to Ruyuexuan, but he didn't look for it at all!Why did Kisaragi already say she lost...wait, drunk?Also drank a lot?Could it be... Mo Wen?

That is to say, after Mo Wen quarreled with Li Xian yesterday, he went to Ru Yue Xuan to drink?

"His Royal Highness King Yu?"

"Ah? Haha..." Li Ye scratched his head, "This...it's true...how much did he drink?"

"Three altars," Ruyue said with a little admiration in her tone, "the purest Mochizuki without any blending."

Three, three altars...

"With his drinking capacity, it is not an exaggeration to say that he can drink a thousand cups."

Li Ye rolled his eyes silently in his heart, and Mo asked who he was, he lived to be more than 1000 years old, of course it cannot be measured by the drinking capacity of a normal person.But...he still doesn't understand, how did Mo Wen know that only in the hands of Ruyue can he get the pure "Watching the Moon"... Besides, it's too late for him to go, right?Although the person I wanted to find was him...

"Your Highness, Ruyue will leave first. Whenever Your Highness wants to listen to Ruyue's piano music, you can come to Ruyuexuan. Please... bring the young master from last time. After all, Ruyue has already promised him. Your Highness must go back. Take this anti-alcohol medicine for that person... By the way, Your Highness, he came yesterday and left without saying his name, could Ruyue take the liberty to ask, what is his last name?"

"He...his name is Mo Wen, the ink of pen and ink."

"Mo Wen... Mo Wen, it's a good name."

Seeing that Ruyue was about to leave, Li Ye suddenly came back to his senses, and hurriedly stopped her: "Hey wait!"

"What else is there, Your Highness?"

Li Ye hesitated, but still said: "This medicine...can you deliver it yourself?"

Kisaragi was slightly surprised, "Me? But Ruyue doesn't know where he is now, how do I send him?"

"He's in the palace."

"...Imperial Palace? But the people in His Highness's house?"

"No, he belongs to the emperor."

"... Your Majesty? Your Highness is really embarrassing for Ruyue. With such an identity as Ruyue, how can she enter the palace to face the saint?"

"Why not?" Li Ye took off a jade pendant from his waist, "You take my token, go in and tell me, and they will let you in."

Ruyue looked at the jade pendant, but didn't pick it up, she raised her head and said, "Why does Your Highness have to go to Ruyue?"

Li Ye stuffed the celadon vase and jade pendant into her hands, and said, "Aren't you willing to solve other people's problems? Now that His Majesty has something to worry about, why don't you go and help him?"

"But my identity..."

"What's wrong with your identity? When did we, Dayin, care about these things? You go, no one will say anything."

Ruyue sighed softly, thought for a long time, and then said: "Forget it, since His Highness is so persistent, Ruyue will try it, but... if it doesn't work..."

"I won't blame you."

"……it is good."

"Then I'll leave first. I'll go and deliver something to my elder brother. You can enter the palace sometime."

"Slow down, Your Highness."

Ruyue waited for him to leave, put away the celadon vase, took out another jade pendant from her sleeve, and put it together with the one given by Li Ye.

White jade of the same texture, same style, also engraved with a "Li" character.

He really is...

Kisaragi lowered her eyes, and the last bit of hope in her heart finally disappeared.

So... whatever.
