(42) Lotus
The two walked outside the palace, and the atmosphere was still a little indescribably embarrassing.
Jinghua's voice was hoarse and tough, "You go back to the military department first, I don't need you to send it." ”
Qinglan looked at him, and Jinghua stood in front of him, with a cold figure and an indifferent expression.
They have quarreled and fought before, but they have never made Qinglan feel so far away as now.
Father's words rang in your ears at this time: Lan'er, he is now the Emperor of Heaven and His Majesty! Even though he still allows you to call him by his name and treat you as a brother, you must remember in your heart, respect him, fear him, and no longer be as disproportionate as before.
"Then I'll go, you be careful. Qinglan also said lightly, and turned to leave without looking back.
Changning left to clean up the overwhelming files, so that tomorrow would be early, and Jinghua would return to the palace alone.
As he passed by the lotus pond, he saw a small figure.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Today's moonlight is very good, but Ah Mo has never been the kind of girl who likes to look at the stars and the moon, and then chant a few poems, sad spring and autumn. For her, no matter how good the moonlight is, it is just that the light is better, let her light a few fewer candles and save some candle oil.
Naturally, at such a time, Ah Mo solemnly ran to the lotus pond, obviously not to see the moon and enjoy the lotus.
"Yiheng! Yiheng!" Ah Mo shouted into the pool, "Come out quickly, I have something to ask you." ”
After Yiheng went to the Nine Heavens, he had been pestering Jinghua, but Jinghua was too busy to take care of it, and Ah Mo also annoyed it, so he threw it into the lotus pond. It's okay, Yiheng has been lonely for tens of thousands of years, and now he has found so many playmates at once, and he can't think about it every day, Ah Mo almost forgot that there was still this guy.
"Yiheng, you won't fall asleep, will you, if you don't come out again, I'll come down and arrest you!" Ah Mo said in a low voice.
The water on the surface of the lake was slight, and a colorful glazed tail came out first, stirring up a burst of brilliant waves on the surface of the lake.
"Oh, Ah Mo girl, I haven't seen you for a long time, Mo Da!" Yi Heng surfaced and greeted coquettishly in the way he had recently learned.
Ah Mo was not in such a good mood, she was a little uneasy between her eyebrows, leaned over, and reached out to scoop Yiheng in front of her.
"Yiheng, I have something serious to ask you. ”
"What? Is it that you and your master are going to get married, so call Yiheng to drink the wedding wine? So soon, isn't there still three years?" Yiheng looked at the moon and began to count the days.
"No, Yiheng, don't make trouble. Ah Mo didn't have the heart to mess around with it, "Tell me quickly, when you followed your old master before, he ...... Did he always have a tattoo on his back?"
"Tattoos, what tattoos?" Yiheng was asked inexplicably.
"It's the pattern of the pair of Yinlong wings! When you incarnate into a real body, the Yinlong wings are the wings behind the dragon, but when you take the human form, isn't it the tattoo on the back? That color has always been very dark, or will it slowly become lighter?"
Yiheng looked confused.
Ah Mo was anxious, and the speed of speech was fast, and he had just woken up, and his brain really couldn't turn.
It wasn't until Ah Mo spoke for the third time that Yiheng knew what she meant, blinked his eyes and said, "When the old master turned into a real body, he naturally gave birth to wings from his back, and Yiheng has seen it! But it can be very majestic! It almost covers half of the sky! When you fan it, the mountains shake and the wind and clouds change color! That's called a ......."
Ah Mo interrupted it in a hurry, "I didn't ask you about your real body! When I asked you about your human form! When Yinlong Ancestor was in human form, did you have a tattoo of Yinlong wings on your back? Is the color deep?"
Yiheng pouted, seemed to be trying hard to recall, shook his head and said: "Yiheng doesn't know! When he was in human form, the old master was wearing clothes, and when he took a bath, Yiheng was embarrassed to peek. ”
Ah Mo's face turned a little pale, pursed her lips, and wanted to throw Yiheng back into the water!
Yiheng grabbed Ah Mo's skirt tightly, "Ah Mo girl, what's wrong with you, why do you suddenly ask Yiheng this?"
It also saw that Ah Mo was unusual, and didn't care about her rough attitude, and said with concern, "Is there a problem with the master's Yinlong Wing......?"
Ah Mo's eyes were a little red, and after a long time, he bit his lip and choked up: "It's the tattoo on Jinghua's back that suddenly became shallow, and I ...... I'm afraid it'......."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jinghua didn't show up, although he saw them all.
He saw the skinny girl sitting on the edge of the lotus pond, hugging her knees and crying.
She finally cried again. Like a frightened bird, at a loss.
She didn't believe the lies she had told her that day.
But she pretended to believe it, and hugged him like no one else.
She is also so good at acting, did she learn it from herself?
brought her from the West Sea to the Nine Heavens, and issued an edict saying that they would marry her, and the two went through many hardships, overcoming thorns and thorns, and surviving in death.
But when everyone thought that the prince and the princess were starting to live happily together, she ran to the lotus pond alone on such a cold night and cried secretly.
Is it because she hasn't given her enough love and warmth that she needs to disguise? Or has she told too many lies that she sensibly cooperates with herself, pretending to be happy and worry-free?
Momo, why do I always make you sad? Falling in love with me, does it really make you feel tired and hard?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yiheng has been surrounding Ah Mo, chattering endlessly.
"Ah Mo, you said, how did the master's tattoos become lighter? When did they start? Did they just become lighter? Are there any other abnormalities? such as coughing, fever, or small rashes on the body?"
"You don't understand, you make me cry for a while!" Ah Mo said in disgust.
"What's the use of crying? Ah Mo, don't you look down on crying people the most? You used to laugh at Yiheng and call Yiheng a crybaby. ”
"Anyway, there's no one now, I just want to cry!, I just want to cry, can you manage it!" Ah Mo deliberately kept a straight face to cover up his thick nasal voice, "I don't know if you Yinlong Ancestor has tattoos or not, how do you do other people's spiritual pets!"
"I don't know if I have a tattoo or not, but Yiheng also cares about the master!" Yiheng said aggrievedly, as if he suddenly remembered something, and suddenly realized, "Ah, that's right! Yiheng seems to have heard a saying before, a girl has a red dot on her arm, and then after she loses her body, the red dot will disappear together!"
Yiheng exclaimed excitedly: "Isn't it you and the master too...... Hey, hey, and then the owner's tattoo is lighter?"
"Get out!" Ah Mo roared, kicking Yiheng back into the lotus pond.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Although there was no wind in the Nine Heavens, it was blowing coldly on his face, especially because he was still stained with tears, so he still felt a little stinging.
Ah Mo pulled his sleeve and wiped it, deliberately picked a long way, and went around to Chen'an Palace.
Wait a little longer, wait until your eyes are no longer red and then go home, don't let Jinghua find out.
Even if he was discovered, it would be nothing, but it would be best if he didn't worry. He already has so many things to worry about, so naturally he can't trouble him anymore. Take care of yourself, eat and drink well, that is to "share your worries for Your Majesty".
She had already noticed that something was wrong with Jinghua, her hands began to get cold again, and her cough became more and more frequent.
The dishes she had learned to cook with Canaan were served to him every day with great interest, and in order to make himself happy, he would eat them, but always at a superficial level.
He seems to have too many things on his mind, hanging between his eyebrows, Yuanshan Jun's eyebrows are deeply frowned, hanging at the corners of his lips, and Xiuyi's thin lips are so heavy that he can't bend them.
So when she found that the tattoo on his back had become lighter, she only let him see her panic at the beginning, he said that it was the fusion of divine power and body, and she immediately pushed the boat down the river and accepted it as a matter of course, as if she really let go completely, without the slightest worry.
But the body can't deceive people, how could she, who has never been sick since she was a child, have a low-grade fever because she stepped on the ground twice with her bare feet?
She was scared.
There must be something wrong with his Yinlong Wing, and she was afraid that he would recur from his old illness like before, be weak, and then die.
She is no longer the Ah Mo who has a big heart enough to accommodate everything.
Her heart was filled with him, and it was full of him. His gentle smile, his low eyebrows and light cough, are all her Sumeru Heaven, her wonderful world, her Bodhi Shore, and her Pure Land of Bliss.
But Jinghua, why are you hiding it from me?
Do you think I'm too fragile to accept?
yes, I'm much more timid than I used to be. I don't dare to say the same thing about those little girls as I did when I first met you.
What is "you are just a passer-by in my life, and when you die, I will take care of myself and live well"; what is "it is good to gather and disperse, and live for a day"......
Hehe, how stupid and heartless a person I used to be to say such things!
But now, I'm grown.
Jinghua, I no longer have the audacity and ignorance of what I used to be, and I have almost forgotten those silly dreams of soaring for nine days, those things, now I think about it, like a little turtle at the bottom of a well shouting all day long to travel the world.
I became timid, vulnerable, and conformist, and I became like the mother-in-law and mother-in-law women who used to look down on men, who talked about men all day long, and felt that he was the most amazing in the whole world, and that every hair of his hair was fragrant.
Yes, I'm so unproductive right now.
But, Jinghua, I'm very happy.
I am by your side, I can sleep with you every night, and the first person I see when I open my eyes every morning is you. I feel so happy.
So, take good care of yourself, so that your Momo can be happy like this forever.
