Chapter 13: Faithfulness in Troubled Times
Xingchen glanced at Feng Mian with great interest, still with the same face as usual, because of the illness, it was even paler, but her eyes were like a deep pool, dark and quiet, she couldn't understand it, but she understood that this person was not a person who was willing to stay at the bottom of her princess's mansion for a long time.
So she waved her hand.
"It's not for you, it's for myself, you saved me, if I don't pay it back, I will be guilty for the rest of my life."
After saying that, he got up to leave.
"Princess, wait."
Fengmian's voice came, and she turned around.
"How do you go about getting the antidote?" His expression had returned to normal, and his tone was as calm and soothing as before.
Xingchen pondered for a moment. "How else can I take it, go and ask the mother for it."
Feng Mian smiled.
"Princess, be careful."
Xingchen nodded.
"It's my mother, not a tiger, what you say is a big rebellion."
Feng Mian lowered his eyes. "I'm a great rebel, and it's not worth the princess's trouble."
Xingchen gave him a blank look.
"I like it, can you handle it?"
Feng Mian was silent, but he did not give up persuasion, and kept supporting the bed board with his hands, as if he was about to stand up at any time. However, Zhutong, who had been watching from the sidelines, hurriedly stepped forward and stopped him on the bed.
"Why bother, Childe, it's so difficult to even get up now."
Feng Mian glanced at him, and the look in his eyes ...... Zhutong's heart suddenly cooled, and his face was overwhelmed for a moment.
"Okay, he also cares about you, I'm leaving, your own affairs, solve it yourself."
After speaking, he walked with his feet up, without looking at the two people beside the bed.
If she had seen it, she would have been astonished.
There were two people next to the bed, one of them had a solemn face and didn't know what to think.
The other person, whose face was in a trance, did not know what to say.
Half-ringing, Zhutong spoke: "Childe...... I ......"
Before he finished his words, he saw Feng Mian glance at him, although it was as usual, it made his heart beat like a drum. He has been working with Childe for more than 4 years, and he understands that Childe is deep-minded, and it is difficult for ordinary people to guess his likes and dislikes, but at this moment, no matter how stupid he is, he can also intuitively feel that Childe's glance should be disgust.
Did he do it wrong?
He doesn't understand.
The truth he said to the little princess, if he didn't take the antidote, the son's martial arts that amazed the people of the world would be ruined. So...... He couldn't figure it out.
"Can't figure it out?"
Feng Mian didn't look at him again, just asked softly.
Zhutong bowed his head: "I didn't respect the will of the son, and voluntarily accepted the punishment, just to ask for an understanding." ”
Feng Mian sighed.
"Some are smart, but they are not virtuous."
Zhutong looked at him suspiciously, not knowing why.
Feng Mian shook his head slowly.
"What do you want, what do you plan?"
Zhutong said in a deep voice: "Subvert the chaotic government, and return the world to a clear river and mountain." ”
Feng Mian glanced at him and continued: "So, what is chaos? ”
Zhutong glanced out the window, pondered for a moment, and replied: "The father is not the father, the son is not the son, the king is not the king, the minister is not the minister, the righteousness is not righteous, the loyalty is not modest, the filial piety is not the way, and the etiquette is not excessive." ”
The words are sonorous, and they are the condensation of his life's ambition.
Feng Mian nodded and couldn't help coughing.
When he looked at the young man, with a mocking smile on his face, he asked, "Is it righteous to save your life?" Should the grace of appreciation be faithful? ”
Zhutong was stunned for a moment, and shook his head violently.
"No, she's the empress's daughter, and they're ......" He paused suddenly, his originally clear thoughts became chaotic at this moment, but he still stubbornly finished speaking. The empress levied taxes excessively, caused chaos in the court, bullied the people, and burned all the holy books, which is not worthy of respect. ”
When Feng Mian saw his expression, he already understood, and only said lightly: "You already understand in your heart, so I won't say more." ”
Zhutong shook his head, but he was speechless.
"Go and receive the punishment, as for right and wrong, I am not obliged to teach you. If you go the wrong way one day, I will not be merciful. ”
The young man looked up and glanced at Feng Mian on the sickbed, his face was gentle, unwavering, and even the tone of his voice was not unusual. However, the bearing around him was so profound and lofty that he was impressed by it more than once, and he hesitated and did not dare to speak.
If he believed in him and respected him in the past, he was impressed by his wisdom and his bearing that did not reveal joy or sorrow. Then the wind sleep he saw today was a brand new appearance that he had never recognized.
Oh, maybe he shouldn't use the word new, for Fengmian, he never dared to say that he was a confidant. There are so many things in his eyes that are as deep as the sea that he cannot reach or know.
Even if he has been by Fengmian's side for nearly 5 years.
Even though, he was once called an unborn genius by the countrymen.
In front of this person, he felt that he was ...... It's really stupid and shallow.
"Alright, let's go."
Feng Mian said a word, and coughed for a long time before it subsided.
His body is indeed not having a good time every day.
Tsukido nodded and slowly exited the house.
When he came out of the house, he caught a glimpse of a group of juniors, walking towards the inner courtyard. He stepped forward to ask suspiciously, and the person who came said to him with a smile on his face: "The princess has ordered, the flowers and plants in this yard are all the favorite things of the Fengmian Prince, and we must take care of them." ”
He frowned, remembering that he had just mentioned it to the tenth princess, and he really asked someone to take care of it.
This is too different from the legendary ten princesses, so he ...... It's hard to accept for a while.
