Chapter 14: Intercession in the Rain
Xiao Luo smiled:
"It's okay." was punched in the chest, Mu Changfeng frowned, grabbed his shoulders tightly with both hands, and said in a deep voice:
"Don't try to lie to me. I couldn't see you well before, but now I will never be so stupid as you are kept in the dark...... What did my dad tell you? Xiao Luo swallowed his saliva, turned his head, and said softly:
"Amu, let's do it."
When Mu Changfeng heard this, his pupils shrank, and he pushed him to the wall behind him. There was a sudden burst of storm in those blue eyes that Xiao Luo had never seen before, Mu Changfeng gritted his back molars, restrained his thoughts of beating people, and said slowly:
"Xiao Luo, don't you think about it. In this life, I, Mu Changfeng, have identified you. As soon as the words fell, the kiss fell like dense raindrops, and the hot and heartwarming temperature made Xiao Luo's eyes moist and hot. He had already made up his mind to let go, but he didn't expect that as soon as he saw him, all his rational plans would collapse.
He reached out and clasped the waist of the man in his arms, and his breath trembled in response.
"Amu ......"
"Shhh
"I know what you're going to say. The Phantom King can't be without an heir, but the queen is not a tool for succession. Are you willing to see me marry someone I don't love, get married, have children, pretend to be affectionate, and see you every day, but you can only look at each other without saying a word? β
"I'm not reconciled," Xiao Luo heard the scene described by Mu Changfeng, and he was already so angry in his heart just thinking about it. He answered quickly, anger and trembling in his voice,
"It's better to kill me with a knife."
Wood long wind hook lips:
"You don't have to worry about that. Wait for me and I'll take care of everything. Xiao Luo looked at Mu Changfeng, complicated emotions flashed in his eyes, and nodded slightly. When Mu Changfeng heard this, he put down his heart and said:
"It's getting late, you go back to sleep first."
β¦β¦
Mousse glanced at the sky outside the window and was about to return to the dormitory, but heard a long-lost voice from outside the door:
"Dad, it's me." Mousse raised his eyebrows in surprise: since the two of them reconciled, this little cub seemed to have forgotten his father and stayed with Xiao Luo every day.
"What? You busy man, you finally have time to visit me today? He teased.
Mu Changfeng pursed his lips, Mousse walked up to him, and snorted coldly with his hands behind his back:
"You're not so kind, you must have something to ask me for, right?" Mu Changfeng looked at Mousse without saying a word, and after a while, he knelt down with a "plop".
Mu Si's face changed, and he stretched out his hand to help, when he heard Mu Changfeng bow his head and say:
"Dad, I like Xiao Luo." Mousse's eyes widened, and the whole person froze:
"What do you say???" Mu Changfeng paused, raised his head and said seriously:
"Father, son is not filial, knowing that he will inherit the throne in the future, he still likes him hopelessly. Over the years, Xiao Luo has done countless things for everyone behind his back, and what you know is just the tip of the iceberg. On that day, he fell into a dream and crossed the catastrophe, without saying a word, and sacrificed himself to save his son's lover in his previous life. If you just repay the kindness of nurturing, why do you need to do this field? Mousse's eyes widened, and surprise flashed: Xiao Luo didn't let him tell Feng'er about it, was it because he ......
"Erchen doesn't know where his feelings came from, but his choice is to let me be a person who is kept in the dark. If it weren't for Erchen begging my sister to recover the memory in my dream, I probably would never have known that there was another person who treated me so sincerely. Hearing this, Mousse frowned and let out a long sigh.
"It was Erchen who provoked him first, and he came at me if he wanted to beat or scold, and it had nothing to do with him. Whether you want to deprive me of the right to be this king, or whatever, the sons have no complaints. But Erchen came today to show his heart: If you still let Erchen be the king of the Phantom Clan, he must be the queen. In the future, let my nephew inherit the throne of my sons. β
"You rebel...... Mousse didn't expect him to be so stubborn, and the angry raised slap swung to his face, and slowly retracted. He gritted his teeth, sighed, and paced back and forth in front of him with his hands behind his back.
It seems that a century has passed, and Mousse said lightly:
"What Xiao Luo has done for the Phantom Clan, Lone has found a way to repay it. You must inherit this throne, and the queen can never be Xiao Luo! If you want to kneel, go and kneel outside the door, when you are awake, when you will get up again! He lifted his feet and left.
With a faint pain in his knees, he frowned slightly, supported the wooden chair with his hands, slowly stood up, moved out of the door step by step, and knelt on the bluestone slab outside the main hall. The tenacity in the blue eyes is particularly clear and bright in the vast dark night.
The cool breeze blows, the clothes are blown, and the hunting is sounded. In the delicate ancient building behind him, the orange lights went out one after another, and the entire Phantom Clan suddenly fell silent, only the occasional call of a gnast sounded in the grass.
On the second day, when Dina set off to practice martial arts, she saw a man kneeling outside the palace from a distance, and a few girls gathered not far behind him, pointing at him and whispering. She raised her eyebrows, walked over to the group of girls, and asked with a smile:
"Who is this that upsets our king?"
One girl said:
"When I came, I saw His Highness kneeling at the door, and I don't know how long I knelt for long......"
"On weekdays, His Royal Highness is greedy for fun, and the king only beats and scolds a few times, but this time I'm afraid it's serious."
"Is this kneeling Mu Changfeng? Ha, who should I be. Why didn't Xiao Luo come to plead with the king? Dinah rolled her eyes and said in a weird voice.
"What do you say...... What do you mean? β
Dinah snorted:
"It's not interesting, don't you think that as a master and apprentice, the relationship between the monarch and the minister in the future, they are a little too good? Sticking together every day, they can't be separated. β
"It's a bit ...... when you say that. Xiao Luo is humble and polite to everyone, but to His Royal Highness, he is as meticulous as an old mother. These two things can't be related, right? β
"If that's the case, then it's no wonder that the king isn't angry! It's miserable, I just saw Xiao Luo out of the Phantom Clan yesterday, and I don't know when I'll come back...... His Royal Highness and the king have such a stubborn temper, and they don't know how long they will be tough. Dinah frowned and asked:
"What do you say? Xiao Luo is out of the Phantom Clan? Where did he go? β
"I don't know, looking at the back is strangely lonely, tsk." Hearing this, Dina twisted her fists, left the people who were sighing, and walked towards Mu Changfeng, who was kneeling on the stone steps.
He knelt all night, and the sharp pain in his knee was gradually overwhelmed by sleepiness. At this time, a crisp female voice faintly sounded in my ears:
"Why do you bother? How many girls are there for you to choose from, and you want to go against your king? Mu Changfeng raised his head weakly, chuckled, and said in a dumb voice:
"What about you? There are also a lot of guys from the Phantom Clan, why do you want to love a Xiao Luo who doesn't like you? β
"You ......" Dina was choked and speechless, and snorted coldly:
"How good are you and Xiao Luo? Didn't he leave you behind to go to the Shenzhou Continent? He has exonerated you every time you have been punished in the past, and I see how you will do this time! She put down a cruel word and walked away angrily.
Mu Changfeng's pupils shrank: Xiao Luo...... What are you doing in the Shenzhou Continent? Mousse's words suddenly sounded in his ears:
"What Xiao Luo has done for the Phantom Clan, Lone has found a way to repay him." His blue eyes trembled, and that little uncertainty suddenly magnified infinitely in his heart: Is the reward that Dad said to be to let him leave the Phantom Clan...... Impossible, impossible. He took a deep breath, suppressed the thoughts that were floating in his head, stiffened his back stubbornly, and stared straight at the closed door of the main hall.
This kneeling is another morning.
The Phantom Clan, which has not been moistened by a drizzle for a long time, ushered in the first rain of the month. The cold and dense raindrops crackled on the papier-mΓ’chΓ© window, containing rain flowers, blurring the thin but tough back in the rain. Mu Changfeng knelt in the rain soaking wet, and the raindrops unceremoniously soaked his coat and burrowed into Shang Nuan's placket, causing a shiver. He gritted his teeth and endured hunger, pain, and coldness, his lips bloodless, as weak as a fluttering piece of rice paper, and the next moment it would be blown away by the wind.
"Almost, he's been on his knees for so long, it's enough! Feng'er plays with a child's temper, you are an adult, what do you want to be angry with him? Now that the war is about to break out, Feng'er is the commander of the army, what if he is sick! Claire frowned, her blue eyes overflowing with distress.
Mu Si frowned: "I'm thinking about the future of the Phantom Clan!" He is a prince, and his words and deeds are watched by thousands of people, one wrong step, one wrong step! If he really made Xiao Luo the princess, not only me, but the entire Phantom Clan, would lose face among the four clans! β
"Then let him kneel like this? Do you think it's so easy to compromise on what he decides? Although men are unheard of, but if you look at Xiao Luo, from appearance and ability, to inner cultivation, which one is not one in a hundred? Are you going to the Phantom Clan and then choosing a second daughter-in-law who is so good to come out and take a look? Originally, I was a little worried about who Feng'er chose to be the queen. Now Xiao Luo's prestige in the clan is higher than Feng'er, isn't it better to have him to assist Feng'er? Claire asked.
"Xiao Luo is good at everything! But he's not a daughter after all! Where are the descendants without a queen? β
"You really don't know what's going on! The invasion of black magic between the four clans and the Shenzhou Continent inevitably led to a fierce battle, even more intense than a few decades ago. It's hard to say whether the Phantom Race can survive from the center, what face do you care about? Isn't it bad enough for you and me to hurt you and me? You say! Claire seemed to remember something, and became more and more excited, and her eyes were red and she roared. Mousse was startled, and in a panic he wanted to wipe the water from the corner of his wife's eyes, and lowered his voice:
"Good and decent, why do you mention the events of the year again...... Claire dodged his hand, took a deep breath and said:
"Since you haven't forgotten, you should know how rare it is to have someone to protect you in such troubled times! Feng'er broke the secular etiquette, it is not easy to say those words to you, as a father, shouldn't you support him and protect him? β
Hearing this, Mousse twisted the fist on his side, was silent for a long time, and then said slowly:
"It's me...... It's narrow-minded. You're right, his happiness is the most important thing, and it is unknown what the future holds. β
