80 Pride and Prejudice
"So, you're trapped inside and can't get out?"
He Mulan followed the two monks to the top of the tower, sat in a circle in the low attic at the top of the tower, and listened to the two monks talk about what happened to them.
The blue-white light emanating from the Night Pearl made the entire top of the tower look eerie, and the three people sitting around did not look like humans, but something like a yaksha or a demon. He Mulan looked at the two monks, one old and one young, their faces showing eerie and terrifying faces in the blue and white light, as if they were shriveled undead.
No wonder He Mulan thought so much, two monks who had not eaten anything for nearly a month, and only relied on digging up the roof of the floating slaughter to receive a little rainwater, living like the living dead.
"Don't hide it from the donor, we're already waiting for death." Foolish smiled dejectedly, "It must be the blessing of the Buddha, we can still see other people before we die, and explain our last words."
"Don't panic and confess your last words. I've opened the door to the first floor, and I'll send you out." He Mulan carried a grain bag with him at all times, and when he saw the miserable state of the two monks, he took out the Hu cake and asked them softly, "Do you have water?"
"And a small can." Wakaba ran to the edge and pulled out a small clay pot with a wooden lid on it. He lifted the wooden lid and handed the water to Mullin.
"Don't give it to me." He Mulan broke the bread, and she doubted that they would be able to break it." You have been hungry for a long time, and it was best to drink some porridge water, then eat gruel, and finally eat dry food. But at the moment, there is no such condition, soak the bread with water and eat it, you need the strength to escape."
Obsessive and Wakaba recited the Buddha's name, thanked He Mulan for his generosity, and then soaked the Hu cake in the cold rain and ate it.
It's just that the eating posture of these two people seems to be carrying out some kind of ritual, which makes He Mulan can't help but soften his nose, turn his head, and casually talk about evil topics to ease this atmosphere.
"I came this time because I was instructed by a young novice to put his master's relics in the tower. His uncle is a bitter master here, and his uncle was also ordained here, but he died in the guest land, and before he died, he hoped that his apprentice could go down the mountain to Bao'en Temple, and by the way, he stored his bones. Unexpectedly, when the little novice got off the mountain, he found that there were no monks under the mountain, and he was either a layman or a ...... arrested."
At this time, Ruoye just swallowed the Hu cake in his mouth, and his hungry stomach, which was already tight, finally felt a little full again, touched his stomach at the moment, took He Mulan's words and asked, "I don't know which master sent back the relics of Shi Bozu?" There are many monks in our Bao'en Temple, and maybe I know them."
Obsessed with having some bad premonitions in his heart when he heard He Mullan talk about "on the mountain" and "Uncle Shi", but he refused to admit that speculation at all, and only swallowed the soft food with the wheat fragrance in his mouth, as if this was the most important thing in the world.
"You call Uncle Shi, then you are the grandchild of Master Compassion? You must not know this uncle, he grew up in the mountains, and this is the first time he has come down the mountain, and his name is Ai Ran."
"That little monk really doesn't know ......"
Bang dang!
Hermulan and Wakaba were startled by the sound of the landing, and turned their heads to look at the infatuation. As soon as Wakaba saw the jar on the ground, he shouted distressedly:
"Master, why did you knock down the jar, and there is only so much water left!"
The obsessive body trembled like a traveler shivering in the cold wind, and the bread in his mouth was stuffed to the bridle, looking ridiculous and pitiful.
"This donor." He swallowed the cake in his mouth little by little, "The poor monk's name is obsessed, the little novice in your mouth ......"
"…… It's my junior brother."
Such a bizarre coincidence made He Mullan can't help but sigh at the arrangement of fate.
Love is resolute and willing to face unknown worldly dangers, and also send Master's bones into the Futu Tower. Later, he encountered the order to destroy the Buddha, knowing that he might die if he was discovered, but he still wanted to fulfill his master's last wish.
This is because Ai Dye is so "persistent" that He Mulan will be moved by him, and then enter the tower to send relics.
Obsessed with his apprentice Wakaba stayed in the tower for a long time, and finally waited for Hemulan's rescue.
If his brother had been a little more cowardly, or He Mulan had been a little more numb, the two monks would have starved to death in the tower.
"Let's go......," Hermulan said, standing up. If your junior brother sees you, I'm afraid he will cry again again."
"Ah," sighed the Idiot. That bag of tears."
He Mulan held the pearl of the night in front of him and led the two monks out of the floating temple. The wooden staircase made the sound of collapsing at any time due to the trampling of three people, but Obsessed and Wakaba were undaunted and chanted the scriptures.
"Revealing the Truth, Revealing the Truth, Revealing the Truth, Revealing the Truth of the Bodhisattva, Bodhisattva ......"
Once you leave this floating temple, I am afraid that the day of re-entry is far away.
For the first time, He Mulan walked in the darkness with Sanskrit chanting.
In the past, when she worked alone in front of the dissection table, she also had the question of "whether people are born with spirits". Could the human bodies whose integrity has been destroyed under the tip of her knife have any connection to their souls......
She knew that many of her colleagues would wear Buddhist beads, or wear mahogany talismans or the like, but she never pursued the power of religion. It's not because she's a party member or she's a materialist or whatever, but because she knows what she's doing, and even if she has hatred, she won't find out for them like this. [,! The Man of Truth.
But when you walk with Sanskrit chanting like this, you will indeed gain a kind of peace in your heart. He Mullin didn't know what Sanskrit was saying in their mouths, but she sincerely hoped that what they were reciting would come true.
Only religion that exhorts people to do good deeds can develop, is this because human nature is originally inclined to be good?
He Mulan's mind kept thinking about something mysterious and mysterious, until he reached the second floor.
The sticky touch under your feet seems to be washed in the dusty staircase, and the terrible smell seems to slowly disappear in the Sanskrit chanting.
But when they reached the entrance of the second floor, her nightmarish memories seemed to be awakened again.
She held the hand of the Night Pearl tightened, and her footsteps stopped.
Obsessed with being the first to notice that something was wrong with Hermulan, then Wakaba also stopped chanting, and when he found out where he was, he exclaimed, "Oh my God, Master, I don't want to go down a little. Can you carry me?"
"Mo Sajiao."
"It's not coquettishness. You ...... every time."
"Buddha Gate Pure Land, don't talk nonsense!" Obsession suddenly shouted a loud scold, interrupting Wakaba's words. Make people see jokes! "
Wakaba pursed her lips sadly and stopped talking.
"Dare to ask the obsessive master, what is the bad smell down here?" He Mulan shuddered, "Since it is a pure land of Buddhism, why does it smell so terrible?"
It's been so many days, isn't it scary?
Wakaba's eyebrows moved.
Now he's going downstairs upside down. Luckily it was night, and if it had been daytime, the benefactor would have left them alone.
"Ahem, it's a trap." Obsessively replied: "It is made in a unique way to prevent the wicked from disturbing the bones of the ancestors."
"Huh. That's pretty good."
He Mulan laughed dryly, tears streaming down his face.
The heads of Buddhist disciples are really different from ordinary people. If you make your own house stink, can you really stop other people's destruction?
"Don't worry, the poor monk will teach you how to get out. When you get downstairs, you close your eyes and listen to the poor monk. The password is gone."
"Huh? Doesn't it stink when you close your eyes and listen to the password?"
"Poof!" Wakaba couldn't help but laugh.
Foolish turned his head and glared at the apprentice, and Zhengrong shook his head. No, it's just that the little monk will only walk with his eyes closed, so he has to be wronged by the donor."
In case she sees the scene on the ground with the night pearl, she will definitely be in a bad mood for many days.
Isn't that his sin?
Well...... it's actually his sin.
Although He Mulan didn't know why the two monks were talking like this, he thought that there might be some secret at the bottom of the tower that they didn't want to say, so he expressed his understanding and closed his eyes and followed what he said.
"Go straight, three steps to the right."
"Two steps to the left, ah, donor, your steps are too big, quickly retract half a ......" was stunned, "No, ......"
Ruoyan couldn't help but cover her eyes and couldn't bear to look at it again.
This time he finally arrived at the gate of the tower, and He Mullan touched the frame of the low door, bent down and walked out.
Wakaba and Obsessed stood at the door for a while, wanting to kowtow a few times before leaving, but this "biochemical weapon" couldn't even stand it, so they had to recite a few verses and walk out of the tower.
Straight out of the floating temple, the master and apprentice breathed in the cold air outside, and suddenly woke up, and then looked at the empty and ruined temple, they couldn't help but shed tears.
They escaped from life, but there are many more who don't know whether they are alive or dead. If this is a calamity that must be experienced, then when will the time come to see the light of day again after the tribulation is successful?
Obsessed with the floating tower did not kowtow, but now he knelt on the ground reverently and began to kowtow.
A worship of the master and ancestors.
Give us a place to stay.
The second worship of the master is above.
Ordered the little brother to go down the mountain to rescue the two of them.
Three worships to the Buddha.
Let them be fearless through this dark day.
Four Byrins on top.
With great compassion he helped his brothers and rescued them
Hermulan's sanity told her that they should hurry up now instead of grinding at the door. But she also knew that there should be a lot of feelings when she escaped, so she didn't urge, just waited quietly.
When Obsessive bowed to her, her first instinct was to duck to the side to avoid this terrible move. But the obsessive action was too natural, as if he was not worshipping himself, but the Buddha of heaven and earth or whatever should be bowed down.
He Mullan felt that he might have overwritten, and in the midst of this hesitation, the infatuation had already stood up.
"Donor, let's go."
"Wait a minute." He Mulan looked at the floating house. I'm going to seal the door."
She picked up a stone and nailed the planks back one by one.
It is better to say that it is "nailed" than "smashed".
Each nail was neatly clicked and firmly entered the door frame, as if the stone door was made of paper or straw.
Wakaba rubbed his eyes, rubbed them again, and almost screamed in his heart.
It wasn't smashed according to the original pothole!
Could he be the reincarnation of the Buddha? .
[,! ]
"You are dressed in monk's robes, so you can't follow me into the inn."
He Mulan asked Obsessive and Wakaba to hide in the middle of nowhere, and one went to the inn to get Armandzhuo's clothes and hat.
Obsessed and Wakaba's hair has grown to more than an inch, but even so, you can tell at a glance that they are different from the others. In addition, they haven't taken a bath for a long time, they are smelly and dirty, and the two monk's robes have been so dirty that they can't see anything, and they won't let them in if they want to come to the store.
So He Mullan went back to the inn to get a few clothes that could hide people's eyes, and then went back to pick them up.
When Ai Ran saw Obsession, his expression was like seeing his master suddenly come back to life.
That ecstasy, that grateful, was enough to move anyone who saw him.
"Senior brother!"
"Hey."
"Senior brother!"
"Hey."
"Senior brother!"
"Hey."
"Senior brother, senior brother, senior brother!"
"Hey...... Hey, aren't you annoying! "Obsessed with slapping the little junior brother in the head.
Then the room burst into laughter.
Hermulan and Edan Zhuo thoughtfully left the room. The next time is the private time of the three brothers, master and apprentice.
He Mulan and Shan Zhuo stood on the verandah of this corner room, half guarding the door for the three of them, half calming their minds, and chatting with each other.
"Aunt Hua." Shan Zhuo rubbed his eyes. I'm so sad and happy. I've never had this sour feeling of falling in my heart. Come out...... It's so nice to come out to you! "
What does it matter if his patronus can no longer roam the battlefield?
What does it matter if his "father" becomes a woman?
She's such a good person, she's a person who's completely as good as he's imagined for the past eighteen years, no, even better than he's imagined for the past eighteen years.
That's enough.
Those remorse and shock, those confusion and sadness, all disappeared without a trace after seeing her and knowing what kind of person she was.
In this world, there is no one like Aunt Hua anymore.
"The so-called reading 10,000 books is better than traveling 10,000 miles, that's it." It was impossible for He Mulan to know what Shan Zhuo was thinking, so she simply regarded it as a kind of exclamation after a teenager's adventure, "When you walk more roads, you will feel more."
"No, not that kind ......," Shan Zhuo said incoherently. It's great that Ai Dye met you, I met you, and Master Obsessed met you. Our lives weren't supposed to be like this at all, but because we met you, we suddenly became no different from normal people."
"It's not that we're freed from what a bad environment we're because of you, it's that you make us feel like that's how we should live. It's not us that's wrong, it's something else."
Edan Zhuo stumbled and said, "He Guang...... No, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinks the same way, so even if he is spanked by you, he is not angry in his heart."
"You make us feel that you, me, and everyone else, are all the same, at least, what is behind this face, is the same. I don't know the Dharma, but I think that what Airan said, 'All beings are equal,' should be what I feel."
"How much benefit did your kid receive from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and you said good things for him."
He Mulan was a little embarrassed by Shan Zhuo's compliment, and was embarrassed to divert the topic. I punched him in the ass that day, and you accompanied him, didn't he say a word of anger?"
"No, he talked to me about a lot of things." Shan Zhuo scratched his head. Aunt Hua, although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has told me many things, although I am stupid, I still know it in my heart......."
"…… I'm afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't tell me, but because you were angry with him and wanted to tell you through my mouth."
"But, but I'm not at all mad at him for doing it." He stammered again because of nervousness: "That, that, I think you can listen to it. I, I think so."
He Mullan raised an eyebrow in interest.
"Oh? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually knows how to find you, a kid, to 'save the country by curves'? What did he say? Did he say that he wantonly exploited the sympathy of others?"
Even if there is suffering, it is nothing more than "for self-preservation" and "for the salvation of all the people in the world".
What other reasons can there be for such a child who has grown up as a prince since childhood?
"He didn't tell me about saving the country." Shan Zhuo blinked. He spoke of his mother and his wives and concubines."
"Huh? You two little children talk about these things after they were beaten? Hug each other and cry bitterly and talk about women?"
He Mullan leaned against the railing of the hallway, shrunk his neck, and laughed silently.
"Ah, he doesn't think he reminds me of his mother, does he?"
Is Mrs. He so fierce?
"It's not. The prince told me a lot about him."
Shan Zhuo also felt that the weather was too cold in this cold winter, so he leaned against the wall and began to tell the story of Tuoba Huang in fluent Xianbei language.
It is only when he speaks in his native language that he feels that he can express himself clearly.
"Although he was made a prince at the age of five, in the year he was born, his mother, Mrs. Horay, was given death by His Majesty."
When Ardan Zhuo said the words "give death", he shuddered.
Before the Xianbei people. [,! There is no such provision as "the death of the son and the mother", and after the establishment of the Great Wei, the power of the mother clan was too great, so there were such cruel rules. Although such rules have won the balance of the Great Wei harem, for many concubines, on the one hand, they want their sons to be favored, and on the other hand, they want their sons to become mediocre, which has become their eternal contradiction.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that he was the only boy who had lived for more than 100 days at that time, and His Majesty thought that this was a sign from God, so he had already regarded him as a candidate for the crown prince in his heart. The Horai clan is too powerful, and if His Majesty wants to raise the prince himself, he can only choose 'the death of the noble mother'."
He Mulan pursed his lips, feeling colder on his body.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's current favored mother of the eldest son is the princess Rouran who was brought back by Shenlu in the second year of the Great Break. Aunt Hua should be the Black Mountain camp that entered the big army?"
"Well, I just changed my name to join my father's army that year." He Mulan nodded.
"In order to appease the Rouran army, His Majesty gave this Rouran princess Lu to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as a concubine. Because of her embarrassing identity, those Rouran people urgently needed the recognition of Da Wei, so in the year when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was able to make personnel, the Empress Dowager Dou arranged for this princess to have sex with him. The following year, the princess gave birth to His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson of the emperor."
When Shan Zhuo talked about such a thing, he couldn't help but blush a little.
"Your Highness, he is very disgusted with the current 'death of the son and mother'. He grew up lonely in the palace and saw that all his brothers had mothers, but he didn't. Even though he is a daughter, he is less precious than any ordinary child in the world."
"He said that he will always bear the responsibility of 'killing his mother' and will not be able to forgive himself for a day. Whether it was a sacrifice or a person from his uncle's family, he never had the ability to straighten his spine and persuade himself that it had nothing to do with him......"
"Aunt Hua, I thought about it, if my father killed my mother because of my birth, I would probably do the same. No matter how powerful my father is, my mother can't be replaced."
Shan Zhuo lowered his head.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has lived a very hard life. He was made crown prince because all his older brothers died. But after he was made the crown prince, there were still many boys in the harem. He had to work harder than all his brothers to avoid being abandoned. He didn't have his mother to protect him in the palace, his majesty fought all the year round, and the courtiers were waiting to see his jokes, so he could only grasp the power that could help him, step by step."
Shan Zhuo looked at He Mulan and said very seriously:
"He said he had to ascend to the throne. Because if it weren't, his mother would have died in vain."
Hermulan's throat moved, and she felt a slight astringency in her throat.
"He said he couldn't die. Because if that happens, his favored son will soon be made the crown prince, and once his son becomes the crown prince, his childhood sweetheart and wife will soon die."
He didn't want any of his sons to become without a mother. He said that he hated the unreasonable rules of the Xianbei people, but now that he was weak, he had no ability to shake it."
"He wants to be emperor. Because only then can he make sure that his sons, his grandsons, his children and grandchildren, do not have to suffer without a mother."
Bursts of white gas erupted from Shan Zhuo's mouth because of the continuous speech. On this cold winter night, saying such a long sentence will definitely hurt my throat like a knife because of inhaling cold air, right?
But for the sake of such His Royal Highness the Prince, he is willing to have a sore throat so that he can't speak, and he has to make clear what he wants to say.
"I think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince shouldn't be afraid of death, so he doesn't want to die."
He paused.
"He shouldn't want to be this emperor for himself."
"Aunt Hua, he didn't come to Liang County to find a 'nanny' at all."
He Mulan's face burned as hot as if he had been cut by a knife. Shan Zhuo's simple eyes at this time actually made her have an urge to lower her head.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... He wanted to make Da Wei no longer have a 'nanny' from now on, so he came to you."
This evil has been pressing on Adanzhuo's heart for a long time, and he has long wanted to talk to Hemulan. But after all, he really admires this elder too much, so even if he is very uncomfortable in his heart, he doesn't want to risk losing the favor of Aunt Hua, who has won so hard, to talk about such a thing.
He knew in his heart that neither "General Hua" nor "Aunt Hua" liked those things in the court. So between just some new friends, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Aunt Hua, he shamefully chose the latter.
But he never forgot the feet that stretched out into his arms like iron rods in those cold nights; I can't forget the shy boy who blushed and begged him to find a pair because he didn't have a toilet chip.
His grandmother once said that only those who lack something in their bodies will have cold hands and feet all day long. A child who lacks nothing in his heart must be warm and dry.
In those nights, he often remembered his mother's words, but soon, he laughed at himself: No matter how you look at it, what is lacking should be this young master who is dressed in fine clothes and jade food at first glance and grew up in the palm of his hand, and what is missing should be his own person who has grown up with his mother since he was a child.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, no, He Guanghe, at least before revealing his identity, really treated himself as an ordinary person and made friends with him. Although there are occasional quarrels, though they do. [,! Competing for favor in front of Aunt Hua, although he would snatch his quilt at night, and stuff his cold hands and feet in his arms, so that he suddenly woke up from his dream, but he was still the only close friend he had contacted for so many years.
Later, he learned the identity of "He Guang" and understood how his actions offended the nobles, but he was only embarrassed in his heart, but he was not afraid.
He knew that this friend of his would not hurt him.
Aunt Hua was already an adult, so she didn't understand what they were thinking. Just as he struggled for more than a year after learning that "Mulan" was a woman, until he completely cut off her news, he mustered up the courage to find "his patron saint" in a panic, even if this is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, before coming to find Aunt Hua, he must have experienced countless struggles and thoughts.
What a shame it is to ask someone for help and tell your pain. Humble boys like them should have grown up "bleeding without tears".
Is it really a mistake to turn to someone for help because of the fear in your heart?
What's more, Aunt Hua is such a powerful person.
He had always believed that if she wanted to, she would find the best of both worlds.
Why didn't she want to think about it?
Because she's scared too?
Such a fact made Shan Zhuo feel unacceptable and a little ashamed.
In order to make a friend who has not been around for a long time, he would question the benefactor who has protected him for more than ten years and is like a father.
So when Aunt Hua punched His Royal Highness the Prince's buttocks, he stayed.
There was something empty in his heart.
He and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are actually essentially the same. They all want to get something from Aunt Hua. He wanted Aunt Hua's love and recognition, and he had been working hard for the love and recognition of "Mulan" for more than ten years, so he succeeded.
But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is different. For more than ten years, he has been working hard for His Majesty's love and recognition. Isn't it unfair that a man who had worked hard to become better for his father's sake suddenly one day would have to please a woman who was a complete stranger with the virtues that impressed his father?
For Shan Zhuo, he can get the recognition of Aunt Hua, in fact, he only gets the recognition of "his father". Because for a long time, he longed for "General Hana" as his father and his protector.
He succeeded, while His Royal Highness the Crown Prince failed.
No matter how noble His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's status is, when Aunt Hua feels that he has nothing that can impress her, she can still only regard him as "someone I know", not "someone I love."
When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince slowly confided his story with him in the room of the Taishou Mansion, there was no light in his eyes. He Guang is a person who "has light", because "He Guang" itself is a part of "Mrs. He".
He's using the name to remind himself of how he came into the world.
So even if Ah Danzhuo knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince might not be telling him, maybe he just wanted to tell Aunt Hua about it through his mouth, he also tried his best to use his clumsy head to keep these things firmly in his mind.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince needs Aunt Hua's affirmation so much, but even so, the "death does not bow his head" rooted in the blood of the Xianbei people cannot make him cry and tell about his misfortune like a woman.
If it makes him feel better, he's willing to listen to him.
If he wants Aunt Hua to know about these things, he will relay them when the time is right.
Even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to make him disappear because he feels ashamed to do such a thing when he was young, he will not regret it.
Because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince let him know how they, ordinary Xianbei soldiers, were protected by those princes and majesty.
It's the pain of losing a mother, it's the pain of losing a wife, and it's the nightmare of a lifetime that I got to that position.
Every majesty has to make their lives worthwhile and famous, because without that, their mother's efforts become meaningless.
It was these "birth mothers" who, with their own sacrifices, made their "Heavenly Khan" a leader who was enough to fight for and follow to the death.
What could be more sorrowful in this world than a sin that can never be repaid? .
He Mulan never thought that Ardan Zhuo had so many words hidden in his heart.
Although he politely refused Tuoba Huang's solicitation, and although he had been very restrained with the prince later, in this child's heart, he still couldn't worry about this friend who had been in bed with him for more than half a month.
Shan Zhuo is undoubtedly her favorite kind of child, she doesn't like children very much, she likes the kind of child who is honest and introverted, well-behaved and obedient, and upright.
She hates the unreasonableness of children, the self-righteous cleverness of children, and the cruelty and extreme self-centeredness that are taken for granted.
It's a pity that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, in a sense, can be said to have taken advantage of all these shortcomings.
"You...... Why is the reason why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said so much?"
He Mulan involuntarily sighed, blowing warm up his already numb fingertips.
Her hands and feet, even in thirty-nine days, would not be so cold.
Ah Danzhuo blushed slightly, and said what he thought in his heart a little upside down. He.[,!] ] is not very eloquent, and he is not good at summarizing, but He Mullan is still listening very carefully.
Shan Zhuo didn't say how long he worked hard to get the recognition of "Mulan", he just said that a son wanted to get his father's approval and couldn't ask for it, and finally had to expect to be recognized by outsiders, and the sadness of getting his father's approval was tortuous.
He talked about how the Xianbei boy grew up and what kind of education he had to undergo. He said that everyone will show a disguised side because they want others to like them, and not only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
He stumbled and said a lot, and finally said:
"I'm eighteen years old this year, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has just passed his fifteenth birthday. His wife and his children were not obtained by his will, and when he had truly accepted his wife and children, he would have them taken away by his most adored and dearest father......"
"Aunt Hua, I sometimes think that you are too cruel and harsh to His Majesty the Crown Prince. Even if you treat me so stupidly, and love to cry so timidly, you still maintain a gentle and kind tolerance. But when it comes to dealing with that old Highness, you are so harsh and unkind."
"He's only fifteen years old, and he can change it. Even if you don't want to help him, you can make him not feel so upset. Isn't it pitiful that he, who had been denied by his own father, should be denied again by the people he cared about, by the people who had come all the way to ask for help?"
Shan Zhuo's voice lowered slightly.
"I ...... I accuse you, isn't it too much?".
Hermulan's eyes never left Edan Zhuo. No one can tell how she feels, not even herself. In some of Shan Zhuo's incoherent descriptions, there were many inexplicable feelings that came to her heart at once.
She was so sure once again that Edan Zhuo was Edan Zhengqi's son. It's not just an imaginary look, but they all have the same thing:
-- Open-minded.
"You're like your father." He Mullan sighed and sighed at the miracle of heaven.
These two people who have hardly gotten along with each other have almost the same values and open-mindedness.
"…… I, I'm just an ordinary ...... like my father."
"No, how can it be ordinary?"
Hermulan's heart was beating violently, and an invisible force had pressed down little by little, until she could no longer bear it.
"I'm the ordinary, arrogant man."
Hermulan's tears flowed out of her eyes as her heart beats, as if it wasn't blood that spurted out of her heart, but tears of shame that were pouring out of her heart.
"Thank you for telling me how arrogant I am and how prejudiced I am......"
"Because of his own knowledge and knowledge, he is arrogant about the backward system of this world, and he is not arrogant because of his own strength and fame at all, and he is arrogant about standing on the shoulders of his predecessors, and even because of the arrogance of a young man who is still growing......"
"Because I have received too many descriptions from books and film and television dramas, I have prejudices against the 'sinful' court, prejudices against 'people who are in high positions must be selfish', prejudices against the word 'nanny', and even prejudices against how others should live......"
She was able to ensure her integrity, but she did not escape the pride and prejudice.
Hermulan's tears were very turbulent, and she really felt that she was very bad.
Her previous life, the initial confusion, and the long-term careful maintenance, all came back to her mind over and over again.
It is precisely because she wants to maintain Mulan's life and reputation so much that she has these complacent "ugliness", she is so superior to herself that she has a height beyond this era, but she forgets that when you look down, you can't see anything around you at all.
And now, with Shan Zhuo's words, while she was crying, a sobering light appeared, an extremely lovely light that could make her no longer detached from the world.
To wake herself up so easily, she should be grateful to this child
Ah Shan Zhuo looked at Aunt Hua who suddenly spoke out in pain, and her heart was also uneasy.
But she quickly collected her love, wiped away her tears, and hugged him into her arms.
"Edan Zhuo." She said to him. Thank you."
