Pathological Trapping - Chap 25
Improve the efficiency of the search. Mu Jian agreed, walked around the garden, and heard the faint meow of a cat.
He followed the sound and saw Little Pudding trapped by a branch by the pond.
Thin and small.
The blue eyes look as beautiful as gems in the moonlight.
There were fish swimming in the pond next to them, and I guess they were trying to catch them, but they were trapped by the branches.
Mu Jian squatted in front of Little Pudding.
Little Pudding sniffed him, probably confirming that it was someone he knew, and meowed at him in a soft voice.
Mu Jian looked indifferent. He pinched the little pudding to free it from the branch, and then pushed it into the water with great force. The cat, who couldn’t swim, fluttered around in the water, splashing cold water.
The cat’s desperate cry is like a crying ghost in the long night.
After a while,
The cat became silent.
Mu Jian pressed the cat for a while longer, making sure it was completely dead before he picked it up.
Under the moonlight, his deep and beautiful eyes were without any warmth.
”No one can snatch Zhuang Zhuang from me, not even my prince brother, and not even you.”
When Li Dezhuang saw Mu Jian coming back with the wet little pudding in his arms, he was completely stunned.
He looked up in surprise and looked at Mu Jian.
Mu Jian lowered his head and spoke softly, “Guard Li, I’m sorry… It was already like this when I saw it in the pool… It must have been trying to catch the fish in the pool, so it slipped in…”
Li Dezhuang was stunned for a long time before he reached out and took little pudding from Mu Jian’s arms.
He lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Not crying either.
But it looks like it’s about to happen.
Mu Jian looked at him and felt that it was a good thing that he killed the cat, otherwise, Li Dezhuang would have to spend a lot of time and effort on this broken cat in the future!
Li Dezhuang touched the wet little pudding, just as he had touched it countless times before.
”Little Pudding likes the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the garden the most. Let’s bury it there.”
Mu Jian nodded, “Okay.”
Chapter 20 I can’t be brave, I need your kiss to give me courage
After Little Pudding died, Li Dezhuang was depressed for several days and couldn’t get himself motivated to do anything. Even the landscapes he painted seemed to be wrong.
Today is the seventh day since the birth of little pudding.
Li Dezhuang thought of going to the place where it drowned and cooking some food for it.
Before meeting him, the poor little thing had never eaten well. Even if it went to the underworld, it still wouldn’t be able to get anything delicious.
He went out with a lantern, and after walking a few steps he heard voices talking.
It’s Mu Jian…
He is talking to someone.
Li Dezhuang couldn’t hear clearly what the man said. He only heard that Mu Jian’s voice was very cold, very cold, like icicles under the eaves in winter.
”You didn’t want me at the beginning, but now you want to acknowledge me?”
Li Dezhuang was shocked.
The night wind blew, bringing Mu Jian’s next words, “Let me think about it.”
Li Dezhuang was cold all over.
Here we come!
The plot is coming!
He should have thought of it!
The crown prince died, and the position of the Eastern Palace remained vacant.
The other princes will definitely do everything they can to compete for the position of the Eastern Palace. Mu Jian’s biological mother will definitely take this opportunity to drag her biological son and adopted son into the game to increase her chances of becoming the queen mother.
In the eyes of this imperial concubine, there are no blood relatives, only the position of empress dowager.
If Mu Jian didn’t have the aura of the protagonist, he would have died long ago.
Even corpses can stink.
Li Dezhuang discovered the secret and felt a little panicked.
This was a big secret that was only revealed later in the original novel, but he caught it red-handed.
How can he not panic?!
He was so scared!
He was afraid that he would be murdered to silence him.
He quickly returned to his room, blew out the lantern in his hand, and sat on the edge of the bed.
He sat for a while, thinking about it and pretending not to know.
But when he got up and prepared to blow out the candle and go to sleep, he saw Mu Jian standing in the corridor, half of his body bathed in moonlight, motionless, like a statue.
Just by looking at him, you can feel the loneliness and exhaustion coming from him.
It seemed as if he was the only one left in this vast world, walking alone, with no one willing to accompany him.
Li Dezhuang couldn’t just sit back and watch.
He is afraid that he will turn evil!
If he was a time traveler with a system, he would probably be able to see the blackening progress bar on Mu Jian’s forehead reaching the maximum by now!
He pushed the door open and went out, “Your Highness.”
Mu Jian suddenly came back to his senses. A few tears accumulated in his deep eyes, which used to be clear and innocent. The moment he turned his head, the tears flowed out of his eyes, leaving long tear marks, reflecting the bright moonlight, and then gathered on his chin and quickly fell down.
Li Dezhuang was shocked.
“Your Highness…”
Mu Jian approached him.
For the first time, Li Dezhuang faced the chill in his body and saw a sense of brokenness in his eyes. At this moment, Li Dezhuang was filled with a heartache that made him want to touch him.
”Guard Li, the mother I have always thought of is not my mother. Today someone told me that the Imperial Concubine is my mother.”
Li Dezhuang widened his eyes.
Lived in Bengbu.
His surprise was not fake.
So true!
So real!
Oh shit!
You told me this secret that could lead to your being silenced! ?
Mu Jian lowered his head, the moonlight shining on his right cheek, illuminating that half of his face clearly, while the other half was hidden in the darkness, making it seem as if this person had two faces. It was a visual effect that could be called artistic.
but!
Li Dezhuang will not be tempted by male beauty.
”Your Highness, is it okay if you just tell me this?”
”I regard Guard Li as my closest relative, so it’s naturally okay.”
