Chapter 60 A luxurious flower blooming in the mud.
18 years ago
On the most remote tower of the palace, a handsome male insect with purple hair and purple eyes walked barefoot on the narrow stone wall.
He tilted his face upwards, facing the morning sunshine, with his arms outstretched, like a bird ready to fly away on the wind at any time.
"Sir, sir, please come down! Come down quickly!" A group of servants called out anxiously.
But they didn't dare to speak too loudly, for fear that they might accidentally scare the male insect and cause him to fall. Then not only would they lose their heads, but their families would also be killed.
"Have you found Chong to inform His Majesty?" a brown-haired attendant asked in a low voice.
"We went, but His Majesty was with Lady Martha, and our people couldn't get in at all!" another gray-haired attendant also said in a low voice.
"What should we do? Your Excellency is ill, and only Your Majesty can relieve him!" The brown-haired servant didn't know why he became like this.
How much His Majesty doted on you. He wanted to stop attending to official duties and stay with you every day!
At that time, Your Excellency was filled with a happy smile every day. In this cold palace, Your Majesty was all his joy.
But the emperor's favor comes and goes quickly. Last month, after His Majesty gave birth to the fifth prince and discovered that he was a low-level male insect, he has never come to see you again.
"What should we do?" The servants had no better idea. They were all like ants on a hot pan. What else could they do?
The man walking on the stone wall suddenly slipped and fell downstairs!
"Ah, sir!" the servants screamed and rushed forward.
No sooner said than done, a dark shadow surpassed all the servants, grabbed the falling gentleman, and pulled him up!
"Sir, sir, are you okay?" A group of servants rushed up to him, wanting to check if he was injured, but they did not dare to extend their hands.
"I brought you what you wanted. Don't die!" The person who saved you whispered in his ear.
The purple-haired male insect, whose expression had originally been dull, suddenly had his eyes flashing with surprising light. He looked eagerly at the person who came, as if he was looking for something.
The man patted his shoulder, indicating that the thing was behind him.
"Let's go." The purple-haired male insect pulled the person and ran downstairs quickly.
As soon as the two insects left, a blonde female insect stood out. She glanced at the servants with cold eyes. The servants who were originally whispering and making noises suddenly fell silent!
The purple-haired male insect pulled the person along and ran all the way into the room, then closed the door tightly with a snap.
"Hurry, hurry, let me see." The purple-haired male insect anxiously tried to pull the person away.
The person took off his black hooded robe, revealing a face that was too young. It was a young female insect with silver hair and silver eyes.
He took out a square box from behind him and handed it to the purple-haired male insect.
The purple-haired male insect snatched the box, ran to the bed in a few steps, placed the box gently on the bed, and knelt down in front of the bed.
He took a deep breath and then carefully opened the lid. Inside was an egg with light purple patterns all over it.
He stretched out his hand and gently placed it on the egg, quietly feeling the subtle movements coming from inside.
Warm and full of vitality!
"Child, my child." The purple-haired male insect whispered softly.
"For him, please live well!" The silver-haired boy stood behind the purple-haired male insect. He stretched out his hand, wanting to touch him, but slowly withdrew his hand.
"Please go out first. I want to be alone with him for a while." The purple-haired male insect turned his head and looked at the silver-haired boy pleadingly.
The silver-haired boy felt a tightness in his chest. He couldn't refuse his request, so he walked out of the room, looking back every step of the way.
A blonde female insect was already waiting at the door. Seeing the silver-haired boy coming out, she whispered, "Your Highness, His Excellency..."
"It's okay, he wants to be alone for a while." The silver-haired boy did not leave. He leaned against the door, his eyes looking at the tall tower made entirely of stone.
In this tower called the Moon Tower, which is actually a prison, there are purple-haired male insects imprisoned one after another.
And the next one will be his younger brother.
"Damn it, damn it!" the silver-haired boy cursed in a low voice.
In the room, the purple-haired male insect gently stroked the eggs in the box, humming an unknown song that was pleasant, melodious and ancient.
The patterns on the eggs emitted a faint light as the singing went on, flickering tirelessly.
The song wasn't long, just over a minute. The purple-haired male insect stopped singing and rested his forehead against the tip of the small egg. He murmured softly, "I'm sorry for bringing you into this dirty world."
"Your road ahead will be very difficult. Father Xiong is a coward and cannot accompany you to grow up."
The purple-haired male insect's tears fell on the egg, and the pattern on the egg lit up slightly, as if the life inside felt the sadness of the purple-haired male insect and deliberately lit up the light to comfort him.
"Child, my child." The purple-haired male insect was sad for a while, then raised his head. He knew that he didn't have much time left and couldn't waste any more.
He stretched out his right hand and hit his chest hard. His throat suddenly felt sweet and a rusty taste filled his mouth, but he did not stop. He hit his chest hard several more times until he felt the thing lingering in his chest coming towards his throat.
But after a few seconds, he covered his mouth and spat out a ball of light with blood. He held the ball of light and placed it on the small egg. As soon as the ball of light touched the egg, it quickly melted into the egg.
The blood dripping from his hands was used by him to draw patterns on the egg. The blood, like the ball of light, seeped into the egg as the male insect drew.
When the last drop of blood was used up, the originally eye-catching pattern on the egg became so faint that it seemed as if it could disappear at any time.
After finishing all this, the purple-haired male insect lowered his head and said to the small egg, "My child, your father will do one last thing for you. I hope you can break free from this cage and live freely."
The purple-haired male insect gently closed the box, picked it up carefully, then walked step by step to the door, opened the door, and handed the box to the silver-haired boy at the door.
"Is it okay?" The silver-haired boy looked at the purple-haired male insect worriedly, whose face suddenly turned pale.
"Okay, send him back. Thank you." The purple-haired male insect showed a bright smile to the silver-haired boy. "Send him back quickly. It would be bad if he was found missing."
"Okay." The silver-haired boy carried the egg on his back, put on a hooded robe, and walked out.
When he was almost at the door, he heard the purple-haired male insect behind him say, "Lemon, I'll leave him to you from now on."
The silver-haired boy turned around suddenly and saw the purple-haired male insect bowing deeply to him. He paused and wanted to go back and ask him if he still wanted to...
But he couldn't ask. What right did he have to stop him? What would it matter if he really stopped him?
Is he rotting in the abyss like that person?
The silver-haired boy turned around, tightened his backpack, lifted his heavy feet, and walked out.
Three days later
The palace is going to hold a grand ceremony, and all the insects know about this ceremony. After today, the canary raised by the royal family will appear in front of all the insects. As long as you have enough military merits, you will be able to gain his favor under the arrangement of the royal family.
The female insects who had been waiting for a long time could no longer hold back and resorted to various means to attend the ceremony and witness the man's elegance.
After a lengthy ceremony, the Excellency made his official appearance. He was carried by his attendants in an eight-person sedan chair and walked step by step towards the platform where a huge drum was placed.
The white curtain was lifted, and a bare foot as white as jade stretched out. On the slender ankle were several golden rings with bells hanging on them. It stepped lightly on the drum, making a slight sound. The ceremony venue, which was originally a little noisy, became quiet in an instant.
All the insects' attention was attracted by the foot. Looking up, they saw a fiery red dress and a slender beauty standing on the big drum.
Her long purple hair was tied up high, revealing her slender neck, and her body was wrapped in a fiery red dress. The next moment, the beauty moved, her feet tapped on the drum, her hands swayed gently, and the crisp sound of bells, accompanied by the sound of drums, resounded throughout the square.
Jumping, dancing, stretching, the snow-white skin occasionally appears from under the fiery red clothes, so white that it is dazzling and mesmerizing.
The bells began to ring more quickly, and the beat of drums became more and more audible.
The insects were attracted and bewitched.
From a distance, the person looked like a luxurious flower blooming in the mud.
It is beautiful to the extreme, but it seems to be withering in the next moment.
The person on the big drum began to spin, the sound of the bells became faster and faster, and the beat of the drum became more and more urgent.
Suddenly, all the sounds stopped, and the man stopped dancing. His fiery red clothes slipped onto the drum. He lifted his foot and stepped lightly over the fiery red clothes.
When the wind blew, the fiery red clothes were blown high into the sky like a fluttering butterfly.
He stood on the high drum surface, wearing only a thin white inner garment. He breathed softly and looked at the eyes below the stage that were either admiring or greedy.
The next moment, he smiled, his smile was more dazzling than the sunlight in the sky, and the insects were almost distracted by it, but a little bright red overflowed from the corner of his lips.
At first it was just a little, then it became more and more, more and more, soaking his white undergarment and staining the snow-white a bright red.
There was a panic under the platform, and the insects were clamoring in fear. In his eyes, it was like a funny pantomime. His head began to feel dizzy and his vision began to blur.
But he can't give up yet, he is waiting, he is gambling.
When he saw the tall female insect rushing towards him quickly, he knew he had won the bet.
His body fell limply, and was held firmly by the tall female insect. He said in a low, hoarse voice, "Why do you do this?"
He reached out and gently touched the female insect's resolute face. He spoke, blood still oozing from the corner of his mouth, "If that insect cub is a low-level male insect, let him grow up normally, okay?"
The female insect had red eyes and didn't say anything.
He sighed softly, "Promise me, okay...Brother!"
In his blurred vision, he saw the female insect as he wished and nodded heavily.
He slowly closed his eyes.
My child, strive to fly...
