After I got married to Xian Man, my life didn't seem to have any special changes, except that the two-point one-stop journey from the library to the sweet-scented osmanthus tree became the three-point one-stop journey from the library to my home and then to the sweet-scented osmanthus tree.

When you have a wife, you naturally need a wedding house. We still live in the big yard. We haven’t moved far, but we have our own house. Once we enter the yard, it’s not big, but even though it’s small, it has all the internal organs.

I planted an osmanthus tree according to my preference, and placed stone tables and chairs under the tree for people to rest.

Because Qian Man is from the Zhao family, and most of the children of the Zhao family will work in the Seven Stars when they reach adulthood, and Qian Man is a good girl with both ability and political integrity, she naturally successfully entered the position of "Yao Baigu" in the "Seven Stars"

, I used to call that place the Alchemy Division. Although it is called that, there are no elixirs produced there, but a lot of strange medicinal prescriptions are produced there. They are all secretly passed down by the Zhao family and are only circulated internally and never outside.

Good stuff to vent.

Thanks to the help of Yan Man, her knowledge and connections after working in the Danding Division greatly helped me study the topic at hand, which is also my only topic as a doctor. After so long research,

I have been trying to improve and prepare a prescription that can help Li Muchue.

Yes, I didn't stop going to the courtyard to look for Li Muyue just because I got married.

She is my patient. I have praised Haikou before to save her, so I will be responsible to the end. Qian Man also knows that I have such a patient in my hands, and she is trying her best to help me. I am very grateful to her for this.

She would support me in whatever I wanted to do, because that's what a good wife should do. I was very touched.

During the period after the wedding, Li Muyue was still waiting for my visit under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree. We drank Longjing tea, ate Daohua Village snacks and chatted as before.

The only difference is that the content of our chat has changed a bit compared to before. After meeting, we spent most of the time talking about Li Muyue's condition. I spoke very seriously, took a bunch of medical books as reference, and took a bunch of

Using the case as a reference, I analyzed the possible direction of her condition bit by bit, as well as the treatment methods I planned to provide for her.

Unlike before, when she couldn't say a few words about her condition, she would habitually make jokes and divert the topic. After that, she was very quiet and listened. When I spoke seriously, she listened carefully. I asked her to take whatever medicine I prescribed.

She quit smoking and drinking, and I never smelled the smell of cigarettes or alcohol on her after that.

Other than that, we have no topic.

If it were in the past, we would always talk all over the place, and then we couldn't help but turn to gossip. After I got married, I don't know if it was because marriage made my world smaller, or if I thought gossiping with other women was not good for me.

It's not that suitable for a married man. There's no quarreling and there's no gossip. It seems like there's nothing else to talk about between us all of a sudden.

Often, I would come to her door to tell her about the progress of my research on the disease.

She said, OK, I'll wait for your good news.

Then there was silence.

During this period, I might have wanted to say something to break the silence, but I realized that the words I spoke after a long silence might not have been spoken in the first place, so I gave up.

After drinking a pot of Longjing tea and finishing the snacks on the table, which were endless, she asked me to pack them up and take them back, saying that I was already married and should not be like a child who only cares about myself. I just took them with a smile.

Leave.

Oh, there is one exception.

That time, after we finished talking about the illness, it was time for silence again. After a long silence, she suddenly asked me, "You and Yan Man have been married for so long, aren't you planning to have a child?"

I don't know why she asked me this question. My answer was, "I haven't thought about having children. It's still too early for me, right? It's too early for her, too."

When I left that day, I felt that she was watching me leave from a distance under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, until my figure disappeared among the weeds and trees in the inner courtyard.

In fact, everything should end like this, without any disturbances in the ancient well. There was no talk of robbing the bride or hijacking the wedding sedan, and there was no joke about causing trouble in the bridal chamber or kidnapping the groom.

Everything is over like this, which seems to be a good ending. Library, home, under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, a three-point and one-line life, until I get old, or she gets old.

Until one day, my uncle walked into the library and saw me dozing on the Taishi chair that originally belonged to him, and woke me up. After I woke up, he greeted me and said a few words as usual, and he looked at me helplessly.

He smiled and lectured me, saying that even though I am such an old man, why do I still look drunk all day long? Don’t drink too much.

I explained that I just didn't have enough sleep and had stayed up all night to check medical books. I also wanted to ask my uncle some medical questions, but my uncle waved his hand and said it was not the time and asked me to go home quickly.

I subconsciously asked what was wrong with Zian Man, but my uncle slowly said that it was not Zian Man, but your brother Li Mu. He had an accident during a mission near Lang Juxu, and his condition is not good now.

Before my uncle could finish speaking, the imperial chair had fallen to the ground. I rushed out of the library and ran back to the courtyard where I grew up.

My uncle didn't lie to me. Something really happened to my brother. When I went back, the house was full of people. Except for my parents and other close relatives, there was no trace at all even on the day of ancestor worship at home.

All the Taizu elders who had appeared there showed up. Some of them were praying in the ancestral hall, and some were whispering around a few familiar elders of the Zhao family.

I asked my dad how my brother was doing now. My dad had no expression on his face and just said he was not very optimistic. I didn’t understand why my dad had that expression. At that time, I just wanted to see my brother and make sure he was suffering.

He was injured to some extent, but before he even walked in, he heard violent sounds of things being smashed in the inner room and my brother yelling at the visitors to get out.

My mother's eyes were red and she said that my brother was very grumpy now and didn't want to see anyone. I said that my brother was not such a person and that he had always been very sensible. My mother explained that he was injured too seriously during the mission.

As a result, I have become severely disabled, so now my personality has suddenly changed and no one recognizes me. Now my only hope is on me. He has loved me since childhood and hopes that I can go in and have a good talk with him and tell him that there is still life.

hope.

I thought it was ridiculous for a moment. The situation was so bad that I needed to reassure my brother that there was still hope in life? I was a little numb at the time and forgot how I walked into my brother's room. I just thought that I

When I came back to my senses, I was already standing there, and there were only my brother and me on the bed in the room.

It's exactly what my mother said. My brother was seriously injured. He lost an arm and his legs were completely hung up. There were X-rays on the table next to him. He had a comminuted fracture. Even if he recovered, could

Whether he can walk normally is also a problem. In addition, the size of the injuries to his ribs and internal organs is within the scope of a table, and the medical records are completely endless. If it weren't for the fact that he was a mixed race, he would have died.

When I saw that scene, my mind went blank and I even forgot to breathe.

When I was a child, I was the king of children, the person who loved me the most and the brother I respected the most. With his appearance now, I don’t know whether I should cry immediately or angrily ask my brother who did all this. I just stood there.

There, he looked at my brother blankly, like a stupid donkey.

The person who woke me up was none other than my brother. His first words were not an angry curse or a curse word, but a rather calm call. He said, "Xingchu, come here."

I walked over mechanically and sat down on the chair next to him, ignoring the water marks on it from the overturned vase.

My brother looked at me sideways and said, "Don't look like the sky is falling, I'm not dead yet."

I came to my senses and asked him what was going on.

"It's your own fault." My brother said, "It's also a matter of seeking kindness and getting kindness."

I didn't understand. After he was silent for a moment, he told me that these injuries were the result of his insisting on getting stuck in a pile of deadpools alone in the last mission, regardless of the obstruction of his superiors and teammates. It was entirely his fault.

You can't blame anyone for your own mistakes.

I asked him why he did this, are you crazy?

He said he was not crazy, on the contrary, he knew clearly that he had to do this.

Then he told me a big secret.

"If I don't do this, the next 'Yue' will be me soon."

I admit that my brain was short-circuited for a while and I couldn't understand the meaning of this sentence at all, and my brother also told me his motives and intentions softly.

He told me that as the most outstanding eldest son of the Li family, he did not have the talent to become a leader, so naturally becoming "Yue" was the most suitable candidate. Since my brother was born, he has been trained in the direction of becoming "Yue".

So he has been the child king in the yard since he was a child. No one can beat him. He has always been the best among his peers, a role model and a spiritual leader. All this is for him to inherit when the time is right.

The name "Moon".

I calmly analyzed it at that time, and then rejected this statement, saying it was impossible. You are 23 or 24 years old like me, and you are already an old person. People eat young people, so how could you be selected?

Become the heir of "Moon"?

He smiled lightly and said, it seems that Li Muyue did tell me something, but he didn't tell me too much, which is a good thing.

"Yue" does not only live to be twenty or thirty-four years old, but as a "moon", your own heart can only bear the "holy will" for four to five years. Once the time is up, the "holy will" will

The load will exceed the upper limit of your own heart, and your heart will gradually fail and then die. At that time, the "Holy Will" will assimilate you and make you a vessel for its resurrection, and the clan will naturally take it away from your body.

I said blankly, what happens after the clan takes away the heart?

I asked a stupid question and my brother just looked at me quietly.

I asked again, why will the next generation of "Yue" be you?

My brother said that because he is good enough and strong enough, he is the eldest son of Li Yuande. Even if he is over 20 years old, once he becomes "Moon", even if he only has less than one or two years left in his life, he can bring great benefits to the clan.

The huge benefits can make overseas enemies fearful and make those beasts showing their fangs consider the gains and losses of offending the clan.

I gradually understood that the real core of "Moon" has always been the "Holy Will", the heart of the noble ancient dragon. The "Moon" as a carrier is just a substitute. If you live for four to five years, you still have to live for one.

It doesn't matter if it takes two years, or even half a year or a few months. As long as their mission is completed and the clan has a better next successor, "Yue" will be active in the foreground at any time.

One of the biggest secrets of orthodoxy was told to me by my brother. Because my brother was chosen as the next successor, he knew these secrets, so——

I stared at my brother, my throat was a little dry, "What are you doing for-"

My brother waved his right hand to tell me to stop talking. After a moment of silence, he told me that Mu Yue could not last much longer. The next successor had not yet been decided. He was originally supposed to be the temporary successor, but as long as he was unable to hold the position

Mu Yue must hold on to this responsibility.

The longer you hold on, the longer you live, maybe things will turn around.

I didn't question all this, because in a series of studies on Li Muyue's body, I had gradually discovered many clues. Maybe I would be able to discover the truth on my own one day when all the lines are connected, but before that

, the truth was suddenly revealed in front of me, leaving me speechless and choked with a lump in my throat.

"Remember your birthday before and I asked you to help me?" Li Mu said, "I have always seen what you have done over the years. You have done well, but it is not enough. You can do it

Even better, I know that you have always been smarter and more capable than me, and even your bloodline may be better than mine, but you have been hiding your clumsiness. I know I am very selfish, but I want to ask you for one thing, Xing

Chu, save Li Muyue, you are the only one in the orthodoxy who can save her. She won't live long, the 'holy will' is about to crush her, save her before the clan finds a suitable next successor.

.I don’t want her to die.”
