Born of Worry

Ruyue was left there by the emperor. She looked at the huanghuali bench covered with animal skins, but she didn't dare to sit on it. She looked around and found that this place is really strange. It's not that the layout is strange, but the defense here Very lax indeed.

Although the Imperial Study Room is in the Imperial Dragon Hall, the emperor's bedroom, there is no reason why even the guards can't see it outside, except that there are a few imperial guards guarding the entrance and the periphery of the main hall, and occasionally two teams of imperial guards patrolling pass by. There is no longer any defensive force, the hall is empty, and even the eunuchs can't see a few.

She had already observed it when she came, and the design of this palace is not impregnable, there are flaws almost everywhere, she just showed a piece of Yuwang's jade when she came in, and she went all the way without hindrance.Which emperor would make his palace look like a compound?

If it wasn't for the emperor's weak awareness of defense, it could only be...he has unknown means and power to protect his own safety, and he has great trust in this power.

Of course Mo Wen was one of them, but he was definitely not the only one, otherwise the emperor must be very anxious now that he was drunk, but judging by Li Xian's appearance, he was obviously not worried about this matter at all.

Although the emperor is young, I'm afraid...it's not easy.

Glancing around, she caught a glimpse of a pot of seedlings on the window sill. She walked over to take a closer look, and thought it looked like epiphyllum, but now is not a good season for planting epiphyllum. Why did she choose this time to plant it?And there is only this lonely pot...

Of course, she wouldn't be so stupid as to ask Li Xian directly, then wandered back to the original place, and when she heard some movement outside, she reckoned that he should also come back.Sure enough, after a while, Li Xian walked in.

She pretended to look at the books displayed on the bookshelf, and heard him say from behind: "Miss Ruyue, do you like it? If so... Maybe I can give you a few books."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your love. It's just Ruyue's lack of knowledge. I'm afraid I don't understand a few of the books on this shelf, so I won't waste these treasures."

"Really?" Li Xian smiled, picked up the wolf hairs on the ground and put them back on the pen holder, sat down in front of the desk, and took out a book from the drawer, "Then take a look, this one, maybe you can understand it? "

Ruyue looked over, only glanced at her face, and blushed involuntarily: "Your Majesty, this, this is too..."

"Is it too unsightly?" Li Xian flipped through it casually, then stuffed it back into the drawer, "This is a birthday present from King Yu."

It was only then that Ruyue realized that the emperor was actually joking with her, so she could only follow his words and said, "His Royal Highness King Yu... can indeed do such a thing..."

"Xiao Ruyue," Li Xian suddenly became serious, "Didn't you say before that if you win, you will relieve my worries?"

Ruyue didn't expect him to mention this suddenly, and replied: "Yes. But Ruyue lost."

"You obviously didn't lose, why did you admit that you lost?"

"Why did Your Majesty say Kisaragi didn't lose?"

"Mo Wen is not the person my third brother is looking for, is he? If so, your bet should not have taken effect yet. Why are you so eager to admit defeat?"

"..."

"What on earth do you have in mind? You say that your piano music is only played for your sweetheart, but you also say that King Yu is not your sweetheart, so who exactly do you want to play it for?"

"Why is your majesty so aggressive?"

Li Xian closed his eyes and said, "That's all. Let's make an exchange. I can let you do what you want. At the same time, I don't want your piano music, but you want to owe me a favor. What do you think?"

"Ruyue is a citizen of Dayin," she raised her eyes to look at him, "Although Ruyue's status is embarrassing, she also has a heart for the country. What does His Majesty want Ruyue to do? ?”

"No, I don't want to treat anyone as an emperor. This position is too high, and sitting is tiring. Since you are a friend of King Yu, you are also my friend of Li Xian. Today, you and I are equal. We ...Can I trust you?"

Ruyue looked into his eyes, there really wasn't any hint of a joke in that gaze, her heart suddenly turned cold, then turned hot again, and said: "Yes."

"Well, do you agree with what I said just now?"

"... Kisaragi agrees."

Li Xian smiled lightly, "You said you could solve my problems, so do you know what I'm thinking right now?"

"I don't know. But Kisaragi can meet each other, would you like to give it a try, Your Majesty?"

"Okay. What kind of physiognomy?"

"Your Majesty, just write down a word according to your heart, and Ruyue can deduce what your Majesty thinks from the words."

Li Xian spread out the paper, changed to a slightly thicker brush, absorbed the ink in the inkstone, and wrote a word almost without thinking.

ink.

Ruyue looked at the word, pondered for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty... I'm afraid Ruyue doesn't need to guess."

Li Xian didn't speak.

"Since your Majesty doesn't want to argue with him, why didn't you listen to his explanation? Maybe you just had some misunderstandings before."

"How did you know that I was arguing with him? It was King Yu who told you again?"

"No. If Your Majesty hadn't argued with him, how could he lose control of his emotions? How could he come to my Kisaragi Pavilion and get drunk? Since none of you want to do this, why don't you each take a step back and give each other a chance to explain? "

"Why don't I want to hear his explanation..." Li Xian sighed, "If he is willing to explain, how could this be the case. Besides...it's not his fault at all. I asked too much. He protected me for more than ten years. Not only was I ungrateful, but I also blamed him for not doing enough. Instead, I should apologize to him."

"Since your majesty is well aware, why do you need Ruyue to resolve it? When he wakes up, your majesty will go and explain clearly."

"I don't know either...Probably, I just want to talk to someone. My third brother's temperament...Of course he is not a suitable candidate."

"Your Majesty is willing to confide in Ruyue, Ruyue is really lucky."

Li Xian seemed to want to say something else, but suddenly there was a commotion outside, and he heard the eunuchs shouting in panic: "Lord Mo! Lord Mo!"

"Lord Mo" was what they called Mo Wen, because Mo Wen had a special status, Li Xian wanted to give him an official position but he refused to take it, so he had to use such a nondescript title in the end.When Li Xian heard them calling Mo Wen, he suddenly became nervous and stood up awkwardly, even thinking that there was something wrong with the medicine he had just given him.

As a result, the next moment, a certain dragon rushed in, accompanied by a group of eunuchs shouting: "Lord Mo, you can't go!"

"Uh……"

Li Xian stared at him for a while, but couldn't hold back a word.

Because... Mo Wen... is standing in front of him... naked...

It's really a thread | Naked... And the hair is messy, and there are two dragon horns sticking out...

Li Xian no longer dared to look at Kisaragi's expression...

Mo Wen just stood there looking at him, seemingly unaware that he was naked and there was a woman beside him.He frowned, as if he was thinking about something, before he said, "Relieve?"

"Uh... Jing, Jing's room is over there..."

Li Xian pointed him in a direction in embarrassment, and Mo Wen looked at him for a few more seconds before slowly turning around and leaving.

Only then did he dare to look at Ruyue, but saw that she had already turned her back, her shoulders shrugged, as if taking a deep breath, and said: "Your Majesty... Ruyue should take her leave first."

"..."

Li Xian looked at her fleeing back, sat down in front of the desk, and pressed his forehead again.

This medicine... really fucking works...

Let's say that after Li Ye bid farewell to Ruyue, he went to Jianwang's mansion to deliver the longevity lock in person, but in the mansion he saw Lin Ruxuan who was sparring with Jianwang.

He was so angry that he sat down at the stone table, grabbed a plate of melon seeds on the table and knocked them until they finished.

He gave the longevity lock to Li Kuang, and Li Kuang went into the house to look after the child.Li Ye gave Lin Ruxuan a gouged look, and said, "Why do you look for my elder brother every day? Are you kissing my elder brother or me?"

Lin Ruxuan didn't pick up his words, sat down opposite him, and said, "Why did you come out in such a cold day?"

"I won't come out when it's cold? Didn't I go out to find that dead dragon for Xiao Xian when it was so cold yesterday?"

"I told you not to look for it, but you refused to listen. I told you that he would go back by himself."

"What if not?"

"You don't need to worry about that." Lin Ruxuan poured two cups of hot tea, pushed one cup to Li Ye, and said, "Your Majesty will reach the weak crown next year. Although he has been crowned a long time ago, his heart is still immature. He won't be a child until next year, there are many things that he needs to solve by himself, and there will be fewer and fewer people who can help him."

"..."

"It's not that he knows nothing or doesn't understand anything. On the contrary, he has a lot of thoughts and is very cautious in handling things. It's just that he is quite irrational when it comes to Mo Wen. Mo Wen is his reverse scale, but there is always something One day...he will have to pull out this scale before he can become a qualified monarch."

"...?" Li Ye looked at him in surprise, "It's a pity that you don't want to be a civil servant. How about I recommend you, let Xiao Xian change your official position, and you guide him how to be a good emperor?" ?”

What Li Ye said was very sour, but Lin Ruxuan pretended not to hear it. He drank a sip of hot tea and said, "He will understand, and he must understand. You brothers, if someone really loves him, he won't let him He's going to be the emperor, isn't he?"

"...What do you mean? You say we treat Xiao Xian badly? Are we plotting against him?!"

"No, but you all chose to escape. Between Your Majesty and yourself, you chose yourself."

"..."

"Am I wrong? Your Majesty is different from you. When you all choose to avoid and evade, he chooses to accept it. 16 years old is not an age that doesn't know anything, although he really has no choice but to show it. But have you ever thought that there is actually a little bit of willingness in his heart?"

"Why do you want to?"

"Of course not because of fun. When the Queen Mother left, His Majesty was not by her side. Maybe he felt that he had not fulfilled his filial piety and wanted to make up for it. If it is not enough to make up for the Empress Dowager, he can only make up for you brothers."

"It's probably a way for him to take on what you don't want to take on for you. Of course he won't show it on the surface, because he doesn't want you to feel guilty. However," he changed his tone, "these It's just my guess, and I don't have any real evidence, if you don't believe me, then you have the right to treat me as nonsense."

Li Ye suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and heard Lin Ruxuan added: "If he really doesn't want to, why has he never thought of refusing?"

"Shut up!" Li Ye was a little annoyed, "You're the one who gets your face on the bridge of your nose. You'd better not meddle in our family affairs, and be careful that the trouble comes out of your mouth."

"...As I said, you can treat me as nonsense. If I wasn't close to you, would I tell you this kind of thing? You think I don't know that walls have ears? I'm just a general, so I don't need to hear anything outside the window. , Let me tell you, it’s also for you, okay? Since His Majesty has already sat on the dragon chair, he has to shoulder the due responsibilities, and you are protecting him like an old hen every day. Do you think it’s right? How is he?"

"You're a fucking old hen!" Li Ye shook his face, "It's alright, alright, I don't want to hear what you have to say, you have time to talk to me here, why not ...you might as well go and fight with my elder brother!"

"..."

Li Ye shook his sleeves and left, Lin Ruxuan silently rolled his eyes, picked up the teacup, and saw two leaves of melon seeds floating in the tea.

Li Xian was still there melancholy, and after a while, Mo Wen actually came back naked again, and he hurriedly pushed him back to his bedroom, thinking that this matter would definitely become a hot topic of discussion the next day.

Mo Wen didn't know if he didn't wake up completely from the wine or what, but he couldn't get up when he was pushed on the bed by Li Xian, he pressed his temple with one hand, frowned, and didn't speak.

"You... can you put on your clothes first?"

Mo Wen looked up at him for a few seconds before saying, "No clothes."

"...how do you get your usual clothes?"

"changing."

"Then you have transformed yourself!"

"No mana, can't change."

"... Where's your mana?"

"Drink too much, can't do it."

"..."

Li Xian was really angry, neither was he laughing nor not, so he simply threw the quilt over his body to cover the important parts, and said: "Then you change the dragon horns back first."

Mo Wen seemed to realize that his dragon horns were exposed outside, and even raised his hand to touch it, and then looked at Li Xian helplessly, "I have no mana, and I can't change back."

He took a deep breath, "Then when will your mana come back?"

"do not know."

With a toothache on his face, he took a few steps on the spot, and heard Mo ask: "Don't turn around, I have a headache."

"...Headache? You have a headache from drinking too much. What does it have to do with me?"

"Maybe……"

Li Xian sat down beside him and said, "Do you want me to rub it for you?"

"Ah."

This guy actually accepted it honestly and bluntly, Li Xian curled his lips, but actually went to massage his temples, he had a lot of questions in his heart that he wanted to ask, but he didn't know how to say them.

Mo Wen leaned in his arms, closed his eyes, but seemed to know what he was thinking, and said: "If you have anything to ask, just ask, I know everything without saying a word."

Li Xian lowered his eyes, feeling that what Ruyue said was correct, some things must be clarified, he no longer wanted to misunderstand Mo Wen and asked anything.But before that...

"Are you sure you...are sober?"

"woke up."

"You didn't wake up after sleeping for so long, and you woke up with a bowl of hangover medicine?"

"... What hangover medicine, what did you drink for me just now?"

"The antidote for the hangover."

Mo Wen sighed, "If I don't want to get drunk, nothing can get me drunk; if I don't want to wake up, nothing can wake me up. You gave me something to drink, and I knew you wanted me to wake up. So I woke up."

"Oh..." Li Xian felt awkward again, he didn't know how to answer, so he said, "Why did you go to Ru Yue Xuan to drink yesterday?"

"Because I'm in a bad mood."

"Why are you in a bad mood?"

"You are asking knowingly."

"...Didn't my third brother ask you to go?"

"What does it have to do with him?" Mo Wen frowned, and pulled his hand to prevent him from rubbing it. "I didn't see him at all yesterday."

Li Xian quickly explained: "Don't get me wrong... I didn't mean that, my third brother made a bet with Ruyue, betting on whether he could find someone who could drink 'Watching the Moon' without getting drunk, I thought you..."

"Even if you look for it, there's no point in looking for me, right? I'm not human."

"..."

"It's more than that, what else, you asked together."

"Mo asked..."

"Ah."

"sorry."

He turned around suddenly, covered Li Xian's mouth, with deep wrinkles between his brows, "No."

"...?"

Li Xian didn't understand why.

"I don't allow you to say sorry, and I don't need you to say sorry." He looked at him with deep eyes, "I'll tell you what you want to know. I allow you to lose your temper with me, but you don't You apologize to me."

Li Xian grabbed his hand, "...why?"

"No reason. I told you I'm sorry last time, didn't you refuse the same?"

"Uh..." Li Xian tried his best to think back, and suddenly his face became hot, "That, that time... I did it to myself..."

"Then it's my fault this time."

"..."

Mo Wen pursed his lips, thinking: "Xiao Xian, I didn't mean to hide it on purpose, I just think that if I tell you that I have been secretly by your side for more than ten years, it will make you feel embarrassed. After all... What I did was wrong."

"Actually, I'm not here every day, I just come to see you occasionally. Like me, every dragon will come to see this child as soon as possible after receiving its own mission, but most of them just come to see you. I walked away at a glance, maybe I..." He paused, "I seldom went out of Dragon Valley before, and the first time I had close contact with humans, it was still very novel, so I wanted to take a few more glances."

"After the dragon and the emperor established a connection, even if the emperor hadn't ascended the throne, the dragon could already vaguely feel his current state, but this feeling was very weak, and if he didn't sense it deliberately, he could hardly feel it."

"Then... have you been deliberately sensing?"

Mo Wen was a little at a loss, lowered his eyes, "Probably... probably because I'm too bored and have nothing to do, so I just have to feel this."

"So every time I'm in danger, can you sense it and come to save me?"

"It's about the same. But in fact, this kind of behavior of coming here to interfere with the emperor's life is against the family rules, so I... can't make it public."

"why?"

He shook his head and sighed silently, "I can't explain it. I seem to have heard the elders in the clan say that although the responsibility of the dragon is to protect the emperor, it cannot change his fate. It is just to ensure that he does not leave when he is supposed to. I made a mistake on the fate line of your life. And I have helped you avoid danger several times, in fact, I have forcibly changed your fate. Although they are all innocuous things, they may have subtly changed some things. "

"What will happen then?"

"I don't know. Do you still remember that you almost got your eyes scratched when you crossed the sword with your elder brother? Because of that incident, I was discovered and warned by the clan, and I was imprisoned for three years. When I came out You are about to succeed to the throne. So when your mother passed away, I was really not by your side, and I couldn't help you..."

Li Xian felt even more guilty when he heard him say this, "You, why didn't you say it earlier..."

"Did you look like you were giving me a chance to explain?"

"I……"

Mo Wen looked at him, but he was thinking about another thing. If the fate of a person is already doomed, is it true that even if the trajectory of fate is forcibly changed in the middle, it will eventually return to the future due to a certain opportunity in the future? Go on the original track?

If so...

If he hadn't made a move back then, Li Xian's eyes would have been scratched. Even if he didn't go blind, it would affect his eyesight to some extent.If his assumption just now is true, then he...

Mo Wen was suddenly a little scared.

"Mo asked?"

"……Um?"

Li Xian didn't know why he suddenly lost his mind, he just thought he was sober and had a headache, and said: "Well... I thought about it, whether you accept my apology or not, I still have to say sorry, yesterday was indeed my fault , I was... I didn't know what was wrong with me, so I suddenly wanted to get angry..."

"You are so angry. You feel that you have been watched by me for more than ten years, and you have been watched for all the stupid and bad things you have done. It is embarrassing."

Li Xian was punctured by him, and his face became even redder. He didn't dare to answer his words, and continued: "...you are not obliged to do so much for me. You helped me. Not only do I not thank you, but I feel that you I didn’t do enough, it’s because I’m too selfish. My mother’s matter...don’t take it to heart...it’s because I didn’t do well enough, and I have no position to blame you..."

"Little Xian," Mo Wen sighed, "I said before, you have done a good job, you don't need to blame yourself for these things, not every emperor has the self-consciousness of self-reflection for doing wrong things. In this regard, you have really done a good job."

Li Xian said awkwardly, "Really..."

"I just hope that you can treat me more than this, or that you don't have to treat me like this, but you must treat the world like this. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand. But the so-called 'one room is dead, how can the world be a country', if I can't do this to you, how can I treat the world like this?"

Mo didn't answer the question.

Li Xian seemed to feel that this topic was too heavy, and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this..."

"Little Xian," Mo Wen suddenly became serious, sat up straight, held up three fingers, and said, "I, Mo Wen, swear to God: If I deceive Li Xian again in the future, and I don't tell anything about it, I am willing to God to destroy my thousand years of morality and deeds." , as a warning."

"...?!"

Li Xian was taken aback by him, and he stuttered, "You, you can't do it?! Why do you want to make such a poisonous oath! Take it back quickly, take it back!"

"I can't take it back." Mo Wen's expression was very calm, "I will not hide anything from you in the future, and I will never lie to you. I will do what I say."

"...that's good." Li Xian also got up serious, imitating him and pointing up his fingers, "I, Li Xian, also feel sorry for the sky...huh?"

Mo Wen covered his mouth again, Li Xian was puzzled, but heard him say: "I don't want you to swear."

"why?!"

"I can't see anything wrong with you, even a little bit."

"But……"

"A gentleman's words are hard to follow. What you say is naturally an oath. There is no need for such things as an oath."

Li Xian was confused by him, and puffed up his cheeks: "You are talking too hard!... Well, then I promise you, I will tell you first when I do anything in the future."

"No matter what you do, I will support you. Even if you don't tell me, I won't ask, and I won't care about it."

"What about you! Can't you cooperate!"

Mo Wen hugged him tightly in his arms suddenly, "Xiao Xian, don't drive me away."

"I... I won't drive you away. Let's not quarrel anymore, okay?"

"When did I take the initiative to quarrel with you?"

"...Then I won't quarrel with you anymore."

"it is good."

"Then... shall we pull the hook?"

Li Xian raised his little finger at him, and Mo Wen naturally hooked his little finger around his, and at the same time put his thumbs against each other, pressing them tightly together.

"it is good."

The pull hook is raised, and it is not allowed to change for 100 years.
