"Brother, I finally found you."

Dongling Yi looked at his brother who was close at hand, and recalled that when he first saw Mo Yan in the palace, his face was like a jade and his eyebrows were like ink paintings, just like those plump and handsome immortals he had seen on the wall of the art gallery. And later, the fire in the cold palace made Mo Yan's face a little strange at this moment, but those eyes, how could there be a mistake.

Mo Yan looked at Donglin Yi in his arms, and also felt a little strange, the child who was once childish was no longer as pure and splendid as he was at the beginning, and he must have worked hard all these years.

"Why, why is it you, Xiao Yi......"

At this time, several silver lightning flashed in the sky, and the dark clouds almost pressed overhead, followed by a thunderclap, making Mo Yan feel as if he had returned to a night in the palace many years ago......

On the night of the thunderstorm, the little prince Dongling Yi woke up in a nightmare, but the queen mother asked him from the time he was sensible that as a quasi-prince and future king, there must be no moment of fear and timidity, so he had to hold his legs alone in the loud thunder and tremble in the curtain, biting his lip and not making a sound.

Until a figure came in, pulled open the veil and gently patted Donglinyi's back, "Don't be afraid, brother is here." ”

The moment he heard Mo Yan's voice in the dark, he settled down and nodded vigorously to himself: "Well, as long as my brother is here, Yi'er is not afraid of anything!" ”

However, the year that was once together was more than a rainy night that depended on each other?

Mo Yan clearly remembered that he was found by Queen Yeyang and scolded by the head cane, Dongling Yi cried and threw himself on his brother's body, trying to block the board for him, but was pulled away by the palace people, and could only watch his brother's beaten buttocks festering and dying.

The next day, after Dongling Yi came to see Mo Yan, he disappeared for several days, and it was not until Mo Yanneng got out of bed eight or nine days later that he saw Donglin Yi in the back garden of the East Palace, and he was practicing martial arts with Sikong Shaoyang.

In the evening, Mo Yan asked Dongling Yi: "You have always been good at writing and not good at martial arts, and you are always lazy when you can dodge and hide in martial arts, why did you suddenly start to practice martial arts so diligently?" ”

Dongling Yi looked at his brother, his big eyes flashed with words: "Yi'er will become very powerful in the future, so that you can protect your brother!" ”

…....

When the emperor had not yet added Mo Yan to the Dongling Imperial Family, Dongling Yi quietly slipped into the Taimiao and put a jade plate with Mo Yan's name written on it into the genealogy, and Mo Yan insisted on letting him retrieve it after knowing it, but he said that he would not say anything, Mo Yan pretended to be angry and ventured into the Taimiao to steal it, but he did not tell his younger brother that the jade plate carved by his younger brother had been kept under his pillow.

……

At the beginning, his mother was imprisoned in Kunyi Palace, and the former favorite concubine once became a prisoner, and everyone in the palace said that she was a traitorous demon girl, but Dongling Yi said to Mo Yan when he was most helpless: "Brother, put on the clothes of this little eunuch, let's go to see the lady at night." ”

……

When even the most humble eunuch and palace maid in the palace spit on Mo Yan, she protected him with a small body and told him: "Brother, you still have me." ”

……

A hint of danger woke Mo Yan from his memories, and just as he instinctively turned around to block it, he found a familiar figure behind him, already solving the deadly threat from the enemy.

"Mu Yunyi, who asked you to come?" First the person behind the mask became Dongling Yi, and then Mu Yunyi suddenly appeared, everything that happened today was really beyond his plan, I have to admit that Mo Yan, who has always been calm and strategic, had a clear sense of panic in his heart for the first time at this moment.

"Where is the main palace going, do you still have to report to someone?" Mu Yunyi raised her eyebrows, still uninhibited when facing him.

But looking at Dongling Yi in Mo Yan's arms, Mu Yunyi immediately became serious and said decisively: "You take the prince to go first, and I will solve it here." ”

Mo Yan refused without thinking about it: "No! ”

"Ahem...... cough cough ......" At this time, a mouthful of black blood coughed up from Donglin Yi's mouth.

Seeing that his younger brother was no longer able to open his eyes and speak, while blood kept pouring out, Mo Yan hesitated.

"If you don't go, do you think I'm going to carry him? And this ......" Mu Yunyi said, took out the Yingluo from his arms and threw it to Mo Yan, "Don't worry, dozens of minions are not in the eyes of this palace, not to mention that you and your subordinates are not idle." ”

Mo Yan looked at the white jade Yingluo that he had been looking for, and then looked at the dying Donglin Yi, no longer entangled, and picked up Dongling Yi to take advantage of the chaos and left.

Mo Yan ran and ran with his younger brother on his back, and when he saw a farmer from a distance, he wanted to avoid them, but if his brother's wound was not treated at this time, I am afraid it would not be good. After observing behind him and around, he made sure that the people from the Ye Yang family did not follow him again, and he walked towards the farmer.

After getting closer, Mo Yan saw a little boy in his teens in the courtyard shooting a slingshot at the jujube tree in the yard through the fence.

He stood outside the courtyard gate with Donglin Yi on his back, and at this time, the little boy also saw the man covered in blood outside the door, and the person behind him who didn't know whether he was dead or alive.

"You, you ......"

"Someone is going to kill us, can you let us take a break from it."

"......" The little boy didn't speak, only looked at Mo Yan vigilantly, but that look was obviously refusing.

There was movement in the yard, no one else had come out of the house, it seemed that only this child was home alone, although Mo Yan could make no effort to let this child refuse at the moment, but he still tried to persuade him through the low wooden door.

"Please, if my brother's injuries are not treated, he will die."

"Is this your brother?" The little boy pointed to Donglin Yi behind Mo Yan, "Will he die?" ”

"Yes, my own brother, he's badly injured."

The little boy's originally guarded expression began to become complicated and solemn, and then he pushed open the wooden door, "Come in." ”

"Thank you." Mo Yan exhaled and hurriedly entered the door with Dongling Yi on his back.

The boy took the two into the back room, Mo Yan carefully placed Donglin Yi on the collapse, turned around to look for the boy's figure, but found that the little boy was rummaging in the cabinet.

"Whoa." The little boy held a small jar and stretched it out to Mo Yan, "Every time my father is injured while hunting, my mother will apply this ointment to him, I think you can use it later." ”

Unexpectedly, this boy was very clever and delicate, and before Mo Yan could speak, he had already found the ointment, and even they didn't know each other's names.

"Thank you."

"It's okay, I watched my brother die in front of me two years ago, and I don't want you to be like this." With that, the boy turned and walked away, "I'll go boil some hot water." ”

Mo Yan held the small medicine jar and understood why the little boy suddenly changed his attitude and let him and Xiao Yi go into the house to hide, it turned out that the boy thought of the past experience, and didn't want Mo Yan to see his younger brother die, even if for the little boy, Mo Yan was just a stranger he had never met.
