Chapter 456 Farewell
"That's not true." It's just a groggy darkness, without any color, everything seems to be still, and he doesn't seem to feel the passage of time, "But if you can see Shuo when you wake up, let's say Had a nice dream."
"Wouldn't that mean that every one of them is a good dream?" Yuan Manshuo's eyebrows and eyes were curved, he never mentioned what happened, he didn't even show his own mood, "Do you want to eat something?"
"No need." Except for the pain, Yuan Manzhong could hardly perceive the signals from his body, and all other desires seemed to become weak.He turned his head, even if it was just such a slight movement, it seemed like someone was tearing his nerves, but on his face, it was just a slight trembling of eyelashes, "Did I miss something?"
"Nothing." Yuan Manshuo said, "His Majesty has failed completely, and Emperor Qihe is clearing up the remaining forces. Everything is developing as expected..."
Yuan Manzhong listened to Yuan Manshuo's voice, but he was a little distracted. He could feel that he was like an hourglass, and the mantra flowed down through the gap with his life. It might only take a few days. Over time, everything will settle at the bottom, and what will be left here will only be an empty body. He suddenly said, "Sorry, Shuo."
Yuan Manshuo's voice stopped abruptly, he seemed a little caught off guard, and his steady tone showed a little helplessness and confusion: "Brother? Why..."
"Because it seems that there are still many things that have been promised to Shuo that have not been completed." Yuan Manzhong counted them one by one. The newly made snacks have not been tasted, and the kites that have been made a long time ago have not been flown. Oh, yes, They also found a few seeds they hadn't seen before, and they planned to plant them in the spring to see what they were. They should be beautiful flowers, right?But the most important thing is... "I wanted to wait until the day you crowned yourself, so that I could personally crown you, but it seems that now..."
Yuan Manzhong had been looking forward to it for a long time, and also prepared for a long time. Once, Yuan Manshuo ran into him accidentally, which immediately made him doubt his own age: What's going on?Isn't there still a few years left?Why do you start looking for someone to make clothes now?How many styles are there?Brother, I will still grow taller, is it too early now?
Later, he let it go, and it didn't affect anything after all, but for Yuan Manzhong, he thought about what kind of grand scene it would be countless times, and since then, it means that Shuo has truly grown up and can go on stage yes, but now...
"There's nothing to be sorry for, brother." Yuan Manshuo held Yuan Manzhong's hand. Even though there was a charcoal fire outside and a thick curtain covering him, he still couldn't feel any warmth. The center of his body seemed to be leaking. Like a big hole, the cold wind blew through it, and whined, but he just lowered his eyebrows and said calmly and gently, "Come and crown now, right now."
"sunflower."
"Yes, Master Shuo." Kui lowered her head and couldn't see the expression on her face clearly. The jewelry on her head shook slightly, and she hurried out, only when Yuan Manshuo took the tiara from her hand. Only when she opened the box, could she see her crumpled and untied sleeves as if after being washed.
Yuan Manshuo pursed his lips and didn't say anything. He just turned around and walked back to Yuan Manzhong's side. He opened the padlock on the box with his fingers, opened the silk and satin inside layer by layer, and then gently lifted the crown. Putting it in Yuan Manzhong's hand, he said with a smile: "Although it is definitely not as grand as my brother thought, but there is my brother, as well as Laiguang, Uncle Mu Yan and Aoi..."
He paused for a moment, as if he was thinking about how to express it, but finally he laughed and whispered to himself: "Enough is enough."
"Brother." Yuan Manshuo knelt down slowly, put his hands on his lap, looked at the flickering shadow of the candle on the ground, and then lowered his head deeply, "Please crown me."
Yuan Manzhong's eyes could only see blurred light and shadow, and his body was too weak, but he still clenched his fists and put his arms firmly on the bed. He refused Aoi's support and insisted on moving slowly sit up.
Sweat dripped down his forehead, his breathing was slightly heavy, every movement made his body ache, but Yuan Manzhong stretched out his hand as if nothing had happened, and cleaned himself carefully in the basin he brought hands, and wipe them dry, finger by finger.
He stretched out his hand to pick up the tiara, and rubbed it with his fingertips a little, then his eyes slowly fell, but he could only see the outline that was not very clear in the light.
Yuan Manzhong's hand fell to the top of Yuan Manshuo's head, moved his fingers, and stroked it twice.Yuan Manshuo's hand on his lap suddenly tightened, and in silence, he slowly raised his arm, his fingers touched the back of Yuan Manzhong's hand that was on top of his head, and then gently covered it.
If only I could see it.Yuan Manzhong thought regretfully, he never thought it would be so early, it was too early for him to prepare, maybe he had thousands of reasons to excuse himself, but the fact is: he had to leave them behind.
To leave everything behind and go to the end of another world that will come long, long after them.
But if it's Shuo...
Yuan Manzhong thought quietly, with absolute pride and pride, he could tell everyone that Shuo was unique in his mind, and no one could match him.
and so…
He pulled Yuan Manshuo's hair, held up the tiara, and put it on the top of Yuan Manshuo's hair. After a pause, he slowly withdrew his hand, his eyes seemed to be carefully describing the appearance of Yuan Manshuo after wearing the tiara: "Suo."
"I'm here, brother." Yuan Manshuo raised his head and looked at Yuan Manzhong, his eyes seemed like a peaceful lake, but there was a thick layer of rain clouds on it. Lili raindrops fell.
"The Gen family still has Laiguang... I'll leave it to you."
"Isn't this a matter of course?" Yuan Manshuo blinked quickly, and said with a chuckle, "Otherwise, who else do you plan to entrust to?"
"Because Shuo actually doesn't like these things, right?" Yuan Manzhong's eyes were full of exhaustion, he looked at Yuan Manshuo in a daze, then bent down, and gently touched Yuan Manshuo's cheek with his hands And eyes, "I used to think that when Shuo grows up, he will not be bound by everything here, and he can go around and do whatever he likes..."
Yuan Manshuo's originally well-disguised expression changed little by little, as if a painting was soaked in water, the paint on it was smudged, and the colors painted a rainbow in the water, which became blurred in an instant.
"But now I find that things like fate are impermanent after all." Yuan Manzhong's eyes bent, as if he was in a normal day, relaxed and casually asked, "No one will know you better than me But that's all. Shuo, if you're really tired, stop and rest for a while."
"This kind of thing..." Yuan Manshuo realized that his voice was hoarse as soon as he opened his mouth. He stopped and took a deep breath, and continued, seemingly without any abnormality, "I'm obviously talking about brother, brother should also rest Come on, stop talking so much."
"Heh." Yuan Manzhong seemed to laugh, he turned his head slightly to look at the figure standing in the corner, and he knew who was standing there without using his eyes, "Mu Yan, if at the end, you just..."
"No, Master Patriarch." Yuan Muyan only interrupted Yuan Manzhong this time, because he knew that if Yuan Manzhong was asked to say something, it would be difficult for him to refuse, but... he calmly and firmly said Shaking his head, "This is something that has been decided long ago, and..."
After deliberating for a while, he whispered, "This is my honor."
Yuan Manzhong was stunned for a moment, then laughed dumbly, and then he didn't know where it was affected, he bowed down, covered his mouth with his hand and coughed in a low voice, Aoi stroked his back in a panic, and then saw him wave his hand, Intermittently said: "Really... then do whatever you want."
"Shuo, you should have other things to do, right?" Yuan Manzhong finally stopped coughing, he swallowed the fishy sweetness rising from his throat panting, and said to Yuan Manshuo, "Don't be here with me. Stayed here too long."
"...I see." Yuan Manshuo stood up, took two steps back, watched Yuan Manzhong's figure was blocked by the lowered curtain, and then opened the door and backed out.
He leaned against the door and covered his face with his sleeves. He touched his cheek with his fingers, and it was dry. His fingertips were not stained with any water. He just stood there calmly for a long time. Looking at the picture in front of him, he didn't think about anything.
After a while, he exhaled slowly, as if he wanted to throw out all the things that were weighing on his heart, silently lowered his arms, looked back, and walked towards the end of the corridor.
"Master Shuo." Yuan Jiangxiu stepped forward to follow Yuan Manshuo, bowed his head respectfully and said, "His Majesty the Emperor sent a reward."
"Let's put it in the warehouse for now, I don't have time to deal with these things now." Yuan Manshuo said lightly, his face had already faded from the expression when he was facing Yuan Manzhong, there was no trace of a smile on his face, he looked at Yuan Manzhong Jiang Xiu seemed hesitant to speak, and suddenly rubbed the center of her brows with her hands wearily, "What else?"
"Chanyuan Sheyi...has been waiting for a long time."
"Chanyuan Sheyi?" Yuan Manshuo's hands stopped, he raised his eyes to look at Yuan Jiangxiu, his black eyes were cold, "Let him go."
"Yes!" Yuan Jiangxiu responded, turned around and wanted to "invite" Zou Chanyuan Sheyi, but the next second, he was stopped by Yuan Manshuo, "Wait."
Yuan Manshuo closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the inside was already calm, he looked up at the dark sky, and said without any emotion in his voice: "Forget it, let me see what he wants What to do."
