Chapter 25 Ripples in the Darkness

It is worthy of being the only female residence of the flower demon royal family. The taste of the Qianyan Palace full of flowers is different from other brothers. In addition to the colorful flowers engraved with the essence of the country, there are also mandarin ducks playing in the water, swans crossing their necks, etc. Flying wings and other animal patterns implying a happy marriage──uh, could it be said that this princess who resembles Hua Moyi actually hates marriage just like her brother...?

As if reading Lu Xiaonian's secret complaints, Hua Qianqiu pointed to the jade wind chime with dragon and phoenix as the main pattern hanging under the porch: "This wind chime with dragon and phoenix was originally sent for the big brother's wedding day. It was a congratulatory gift, but it was a pity that the eldest brother returned it. All the decorations of Qianyan Palace were originally specially designed by me for Bi Ran—not from my own personal taste."

Lu Xiaonian snorted: "It sounds like the Fifth Princess has a close relationship with the First Crown Princess."

Hua Qianqiu glanced at him keenly, held back what she wanted to say, and curled her lips: "...that's natural. Back then, Bi Ran passed out beside the border, and it was my brother and I who discovered him at the same time. After ten years of friendship, even if we don't He is an outsider, and his feelings are as deep as brothers."

Lu Xiaonian smiled slightly, but what he was thinking in his heart was that you treat the other party with all your heart, wondering if the other party treats you with the same feeling?The detailed topographical map of the Flower Demon Country on Bi Ran's body, if it is not corrected, it is a harbinger of a bloody storm.

Hua Moyi took the younger sister's words and echoed: "That's right, the Qianyan Palace was originally decorated by us brothers with great painstaking efforts, and was intended to be given to elder brother as a wedding hall, but brother Ran resolutely declined, so elder brother had no choice but to give it to elder brother. Following his wishes, the two of them will continue to live in the Yundu Palace." Having said that, the Second Highness could not help complaining, "Qianyan Palace is a place where everyone agrees, it is much better than the old-fashioned and uncharacteristic Yundu Palace. Where did you go? Brother Ran is the same, he has to say that he won't get rewarded for nothing, he just can't let go of his figure, and thinks that two big men are in harmony, it's always awkward--according to me, if they are sincere to each other, What does gender or race matter when two people are in love?"

She is the one who can say what she thinks outright, and when the last sentence came out, before she realized what it was, she looked at Lu Xiaonian with a smile that was not a smile, what did you see in the slightly teasing eyes? How meaningful.

Hua Moyi blushed suddenly, "You, why are you looking at me, what did I say wrong?"

"No, I appreciate your conclusion just now." Lu Xiaonian chuckled.

Hua Qianqiu looked at Lu Xiaonian, then at Hua Moyi, the hand that was already holding his brother's arm became more firm and firm.

Entering the front hall, you can see several large boxes of silk and satin in front of you, which are colorful, but all the colors you can imagine are filled in, and the fabrics that cannot fit are overflowing to the ground.

"I don't know whether Bi Ran is pregnant with a nephew or a niece, so I searched all the silks and satins that can be found in the palace, and make one for each color, and there should be no mismatch." Hua Hua Qianqiu picked up a piece of pink satin, compared it to her body, and asked Hua Moyi, "Bi Ran is always dressed in white, and looks deserted. His baby should be more happy, and be with his father." Differentiate them. Peach red is quite gorgeous, do you think this color is good for the second brother?"

Hua Moyi looked at her and smiled: "Did you open a dyeing workshop here by yourself? I think you picked out all the colors in the world. But you didn't ask Brother Ran for his opinion beforehand, so be careful not to be happy." On the field, he was the same as last time, firmly resigning."

Hua Qianqiu curled her lips: "No, he dare not refuse to accept it this time. Bi Ran is a treasure in his belly." He picked up a very small baby bellyband that was placed on the small table beside him, and put it on Hua Qianqiu. Mo Yi showed off in front of her: "I embroidered this all night last night, isn't the workmanship not bad?"

The baby's bellyband was only a little bigger than Hua Moyi's palm, and the Second Highness took it in confusion, looked left and right, and looked over and over again: "... so small, can the child fit it?"

Lu Xiaonian said: "A newborn baby is probably this big, why can't it fit?" He was very sure about the firstborn, because when Lu Zishu gave birth, he was with him the whole time, and the two newborns He hugged his younger brother one in each hand, and the touch is vivid and unforgettable to this day.

Hua Moyi rolled his eyes at him: "Children from the Flower Demon Country can crawl all over the ground when they are born. If they are only this size." As big as it is, a gust of wind can blow people away!"

"...you were born able to crawl all over the ground?" Looking at the monster's eyes.

Hua Moyi was immediately unconvinced: "I don't know that you are a foreigner. People in the Flower Demon Country are all conceived by the evil spirit of their parents first, and then use the flower branch as the pregnant body to produce flower buds. The buds bloom and fall, and land on the ground. Then turned into a human form. The moment I was born in 270 six years ago, I was already able to walk around the palace holding the hem of my elder brother's clothes!"

Lu Xiaonian suddenly realized, Hua Qianqiu coughed lightly: "Second Brother, that is the birth method of flower demons in our country, but Bi Ran is a human being, and human beings are viviparous..."

Hua Moyi was taken aback, as if she hadn't turned the corner for a while, Lu Xiaonian suppressed her smile, and continued: "So that's it, I forgot that your original shape is a flower... In the traditional sense, it's pollination. Bear flower buds, and then give birth to fruit..." He continued to ask him solemnly, "But I am a little puzzled, if the flower demon and humans conceived offspring, would they obey human's reproductive nature and change to viviparous? Could it be that before Is there no precedent for marriage with human beings?"

He was just joking, deliberately trying to bully the second prince who was ignorant of love affairs.Poor Hua Moyi was confused by his questioning, so he had no choice but to look for help to his well-informed younger sister.Hua Qianqiu snorted: "Bi Ran is the first human being married to our Flower Demon since the founding of the Flower Demon Kingdom. It's normal for the second brother not to know his birth method. Even I just read it in ancient books── "Under Lu Xiaonian's slightly narrowed eyes, her words stopped abruptly.

Hua Moyi wondered: "Ancient books? Is there any book in Huajing Pavilion that collects such books?"

Hua Qianqiu took back the baby bellyband in his hand, and changed the subject with a smile: "Second brother, there are still some ready-made baby clothes in Qianqiu's room, let's go in and have a look~~~"

*********

Yundu Palace.Today, there was a lot of spring rain, and the pattering rain hit the eaves, playing a pleasing and brisk melody.The scent of calamus flowers is more vivid and elegant in the fresh rainwater.

However, the cheerful and light sound of raindrops came into the house from the corner of the eaves, which aroused the restlessness of the pregnant woman.Bi Ran covered the casement, shutting out the disturbing sound of rain, and turned around slowly while clutching her stomach.

On the ground in front of him, there was a man in black kneeling with water dripping from his body. The wet rain fell from his body onto the glazed white ground, creating a halo of blurred water color.The man in black had a gleaming dagger stuck in his waist, and his arm seemed to be wounded, hanging motionless by his side.

Bi Ran didn't speak, and the man in black didn't move, kneeling straight.

After a long while, the man in black finally swayed and was about to fall to the ground.Bi Ran stretched out his hand and helped him in time.

The man in black took advantage of the situation and grabbed his sleeve, and said hoarsely: "Young master, after ten years, this subordinate finally found you."

"...I am not your young master."

"Even if the tribe is dead and the tribe is gone, the young master will always be the young master in our hearts and is irreplaceable!" Fierce emotions touched the wounded arm, and red blood seeped from the black cuff, mixed with rainwater, making it wet It dripped bright red.Bi Ran looked at the man in black weakly grasping him with an unchanged expression, but remained unmoved, and put his hands back into his cuffs instead.

The man in black with nowhere to draw his arms drooped again, still looking up eagerly at Bi Ran.

"Young master, my subordinates have always believed that the young master did not die. The young master was only missing in that battle. Maybe he was taken away by those evildoers, or maybe he was wandering elsewhere. The young master is definitely still alive, and he will definitely lead Our vengeance has been avenged... The only surviving clansmen are able to survive because of such expectations! Emperor Tian pays off, this subordinate has finally found the entrance to the Flower Demon Country! Please leave this filthy place with your subordinates! Dirty place!"

The smell of rain on his body, the faint smell of blood, mixed with the sound of the rain that was originally locked outside, and the strong scent of calamus flowers, rushed into Bi Ran's nose, and an indescribable strange feeling rushed out mind.Bi Ran raised his sleeve to cover his lips, the acid water in his stomach suddenly made him sick, but he didn't want to show his pale face in front of anyone.

Resisting the desire to retch, he closed his eyes, trying to separate the feelings outside his body from the abnormalities in his body, but what he saw when he closed his eyes was the flames soaring into the sky, the deafening shouts of killing, the blood Rivers of corpses, and his parents who died at the bottom of his feet.

He strangled his throat with his hands desperately, but there was still a fishy acid rushing to his throat involuntarily.

Bi Ran suddenly pushed away the man in black in front of him, staggered to the side of the dirty bucket, and retched violently: "Ugh...evil..."

"Young master? Young master?" The uninvited guest panicked and got up to check on him.

Bi Ran shook his head, his eyes glistening with morning sickness were still cold, and he gave him a hard look.

"Kneeling! Uh..." He continued intermittently, "If you don't want to be noticed... just be honest and don't make any noise..."

"But young master, your body..."

"I-...it's okay."

Bi Ran's coercion made the man in black dare not move any more, he knelt on the ground obediently, watching him anxiously crouching beside the dirty bucket, retching, but he couldn't vomit anything.After going on like this for a stick of incense, Bi Ran's face softened a little, and he sat back on the chair exhausted.

The man in black didn't dare to make a sound, and after a while, Bi Ran asked him: "You are the only one in the clan to enter the Flower Demon Kingdom?"

"Returning to the young master, a group of six people under my command scattered all over the valley to find the entrance of the old forest. My subordinate accidentally ran into the border and broke through the border... I have been lurking in the territory of the Flower Demon Kingdom for three days, but no one else came to meet me. Only one of the subordinates can successfully enter."

"You come here alone, and you dare to assassinate the royal family of the flower demon?" Qing Mou narrowed her eyes threateningly.

The man in black was immediately overwhelmed with excitement: "As long as you can avenge your blood, what's the point of assassinating their royal family? Your subordinates will not hesitate to kill those brutal demons to pieces—"

"Stupid!" Bi Ran scolded, "You're hitting a rock with an egg!"

"Subordinates──"

"Do you understand what it means to act after a plan? Break into the palace recklessly, and when you meet a member of the royal family, you will kill without thinking. If you are caught, you will confess to others, including me. Or should we let them know that our clan did not die back then, so that they have vigilance and precautions in advance? Will I be buried in your stupidity for the ten years I endured humiliation and lived in the Flower Demon Kingdom?"

The man in black stared blankly at Bi Ran's pale and handsome face, but he couldn't answer when he opened his mouth.

His young master's eyes were fierce, as if thinking of some unbearable humiliation, even his cheeks were stained with sullen blush.The palms hidden under the cuffs are always covering the lower abdomen. I don't know if they want to press down hard or maintain a protective posture.

Bi Ran said coldly: "You assassinated Hua Moyi, which has already aroused the vigilance of those around him. Until I find a way to settle this matter, you are hiding in Yundu Palace and are not allowed to go anywhere. "

The man in black lowered his head, and replied in trepidation, "Subordinate...Understood."

Taking a peek at the young master who has been away for ten years, he still has an unforgettable handsome face, and still has a cold and alienated temperament.It's just that something always feels different.
