After hearing this, Ji Xiao's face remained unchanged, but he obediently picked up the dagger that fell on the ground.

"Grand Master Ji," Ji Xiao said in a low voice while holding the dagger, his eyelashes drooping slightly, "You just have to bear it."

Ji Yu turned to look at him, only Ji Xiao's indifferent face and the sharp dagger remained in his pupils for a moment, and the next moment, the dagger stabbed towards him fiercely.

He couldn't move, he only felt a tightness in his chest, and the dagger had already sunk into his body.

Lu Chao got up, his face calmed down, he put his hand on Ji Xiao's shoulders, and said with a low laugh: "Sure enough, beauties are all snake-hearted, but the knife was inserted by a coincidence, I can barely avoid the vital point place."

Ji Xiao gathered his robes and followed him out: "The knife was indeed stabbed in the heart. This servant has never killed anyone before, so he is naturally not skilled. If His Majesty is not satisfied, this servant will go back and make up the knife again."

"No need," the scent of plum blossoms pressed by snow outside the house replaced the bloody smell lingering on the tip of his nose just now, Lu Chao's mood improved, and his gloomy smile faded, "I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep in this house, go tonight That's the widow."

Lu Chao didn't live in the side-by-side huts, but monopolized a large courtyard. Instead of plum blossoms, there were pear trees all over the courtyard.

Right now is not the season for pear blossoms, there are only empty branches of pear trees in the yard, and it feels a bit desolate and desolate.

"Your Majesty likes pear blossoms?" Ji Xiao asked casually.

Lu Chao tilted his head and glanced at him, and Ji Xiao said again: "I guessed it, I don't know if there are in the palace, and there are also here. Although His Majesty is not here in season, I think love pears is better than love plums."

"That's right," Lu Chao admitted frankly, "It's like Aiwujiwu—what about you, what's your relationship with Ji Yu?"

Relying on Wang Jixiao's memory, Jixiao said calmly: "When my father was still there, I saw him come to the house a few times for business. It can be regarded as a relationship with him. I can be regarded as a gentleman's friend with my slave father. Today, I met him by chance. Therefore, Come to ask about the slave's recent situation."

"How do you remember that when your father was imprisoned, he tried his best to distance himself from the Wang family." Lu Chao raised his eyebrows lightly.

"If it weren't for this, he would probably have become a bandit of thieves, beheaded or exiled together. Conspiracy is a serious crime, and those who know the current affairs are heroes. These people are seeking to protect themselves. There is nothing wrong with doing this, and they don't owe the Wang family anything .”

Lu Chao said indifferently: "You see clearly, so calm, it seems that you are not from the Wang family, and General Wang is not your real father."

"He who understands the current affairs is a hero." Ji Xiao grabbed his wrist and smiled lightly, "Nowadays, the wealth and life of slaves are in His Majesty's hands. If the enmity is overwhelming, it will not refute His Majesty's kindness to keep slaves in this world." .”

Lu Chao bent the corner of his mouth in an unclear manner, and clasped his fingers instead: "Most sweet-mouthed beauties like you have dark hearts."

Ji Xiao said unhurriedly, "Then Your Majesty has to be careful."

Lu Chao took his seat first in the front hall, followed by Yan An, the commander of the guards, and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I have searched the assassin's body, and found nothing to prove his identity."

Lu Chao raised his hand lightly: "Even if we can find it, it's likely to be a frame-up. Which idiot would openly send someone to assassinate the widow, unless he has deep grievances with his own clan."

"The humble job will be handled as before?"

Before Lu Chao could answer, Ji Xiao first asked, "In the past? Did this kind of thing happen from time to time?"

"There are always troubles in a year. The courtiers who shouted 'Long live' when bowing up are just polite. Who really wants to see the emperor have a long life? The widow lived too long, but like It's a monster."

Yan An, who was lowering his head, trembled invisibly: "Your Majesty's real dragon body is naturally long live..."

Lu Chao: "You step back first."

"Yes."

Ji Xiao lowered her head and took a sip of hot tea: "Your Majesty won't sleep?"

Lu Chao snatched the hot tea in his hand, took a few sips very bluntly, and said, "You are not afraid at all."

"What is the servant afraid of?"

"The assassins in the past rarely came alone. Even if there were, they saw that nothing could be done, or committed suicide or ran away. Why did they run to your residence and assassinate you before they died of poison? If the target is widows, then the poison It's probably too late."

Ji Xiao raised his eyes and looked at Lu Chao's face: "Your Majesty means that the assassin's purpose is probably not His Majesty, but a slave?"

Lu Chao was noncommittal.

"The slave is lonely and has never had any grudges with anyone. Who would go to such lengths to send someone to take the slave's life?" Ji Xiao casually brushed back the broken hair in his ears, and said with a smile, "Besides, the emperor is by the slave's side." , the slave is not afraid."

Early in the morning.

After a group of people had their fast meal, they headed back to the palace.Lu Chao didn't want to stay in the streets and alleys, and the others naturally didn't dare to get out of the car, so they could only stay in the car and go straight to the palace.

When Ji Xiao and Lu Chao arrived at the Unknown Hall, Chu Yu and Shao Yao ran out to greet them.

When Lu Chao went to the main hall, Chu Yu secretly asked Haitang: "Is it fun outside? Did you eat anything delicious?"

Then he complained: "Sister Haitang is so cunning, she made an appointment with the little master a few days ago, and I want to go too."

"Don't complain, I'll give it to you next year," Haitang smiled and handed him and Shaoyao two wintersweets, "This was broken at Hanshan Temple, and I wanted to buy something on the way, but His Majesty won't stop, so I just Bring this plum blossom back."

Chu Yu and Shao Yao took the plum blossoms, they were both young boys after all, they didn't seriously complain about Hai Tang, they smiled while holding the flowers, "It's so fragrant."

Ji Xiao stood next to them for a while, and then said: "I'm a little sleepy, I'm going back to my room first, Hai Tang, call me again when I have lunch."

Haitang agreed.

Ji Xiao went straight back to the house, followed by Ying Huo who was next to him and walked in together.

As soon as the door was closed, Yinghuo sighed with twists and turns, and then said: "You and Shaohao are really troublesome."

"How is Shaohao?" Ji Xiao asked.

"What's more," Yinghuo said, "I was having a drink with him at Siming, but halfway through the meal Siming suddenly said that he saw Shaohao's reincarnated body was in danger, and sent me down to help—you said this You stayed in the monastery well, how could someone stab you? Ask him, but he won’t tell.”

Ji Xiao leaned back on the couch: "I stabbed it."

Yinghuo: "...are you crazy?"

"Lu Chao has become suspicious of me, and it happened that he provoked Lu Chao. Yesterday he either died or he died. If I attack him, he still has a way to live. Besides, he is only a spirit possessed. Once the mortal fetus dies, he will die. It's a good thing to go to the immortals naturally, if this is the case, it saves some trouble." Ji Xiao said indifferently.

"Shaohao is really crazy, and you are really ruthless." Yinghuo was not surprised by his indifference, but she didn't react much, "It's just that if the mortal fetus really died last night, Shaohao will definitely go to find another one." Body, don't underestimate his infatuation with you."

Ji Xiao chuckled and shook his head slightly: "What's wrong with him? Is there a serious problem?"

Yingzhuo patted him on the shoulder: "Your knife is impartial, just a little bit away from the heart. He was rescued. I fed him half a grain of elixir, and he has to cultivate for ten and a half months, or let mortals see it." He clearly went in with white knives and came out with red knives, and he was alive and well the next day, how scary."

"It's fine."

"Speaking of which, do you have any idea how you plan to solve that love disaster?" Yinghuo asked.

Ji Xiao shook his head slightly: "I don't know either, I just have some vague guesses. Thousands of years ago, I forgot my past and left the secular world, and I can't remember many things, but now it seems that I have forgotten someone, and maybe I have lost it again." who."

"As for the clues... I have given up the secular world thousands of years ago, and I don't want to be entangled any more. If the love disaster continues, I will try to kill him."

Yinghuo was stunned: "Kill who?"

"Lu Chao."

at dusk.

Lu Chao moved from the main hall to the side hall and had dinner with Ji Xiao. After dinner, he sent the old eunuch to carry the remaining memorials to the side hall.

"The widow is only absent for a day, and the memorials will be piled high." Lu Chao rubbed the center of his brows, and the vermilion placard in his hand only moved, and he didn't even give a polite answer. All the local officials wanted to come to the capital to pay New Year's greetings to the widow."

The old eunuch flattered him: "Your Majesty, I don't know how many people want to see the emperor's face, so naturally they are eager to come."

Lu Chao didn't even raise his head: "The most indispensable thing in Kyoto is the New Year's goods. Wild pigs and domestic pigs are no different to me."

Sitting by the stove, Ji Xiao warmed his hands while reading a script on his lap. The content of the script was really evocative. It was about a young monk who had become an elite fox and seduced a young monk who was born to die. , as cold as a bottle Buddha, and then gradually broke the precepts, and lingered with the little fox to death.

Ji Xiao has read a lot of such stories. When he was in the sky, Shaohao and Yinghuo knew that he liked them, so they would collect some interesting ones for him.

But the more I look at it, the more I feel like it's out of the ordinary.

Lu Chao closed a memorial, turned his head and saw Ji Xiao leaning on the chair dozing, he put down his pen, got up and walked in front of Ji Xiao.

It took a long while to reach out and pinch his face: "The widow is still awake, how dare you be lazy."

"..." Ji Xiao was woken up by him, looked up at him with a hazy look, and said in a muffled voice, "I fell asleep before I knew it, Your Majesty can't be blamed."

"What were you looking at just now?" Lu Chao picked up the script on his lap and read it with his eyes slightly squinted, "At first the little monk refused to read with his eyes closed, lying on the couch like a stone, how could he beat that fox As soon as the outer clothes were withdrawn, the snow-white skin shamelessly slipped into the monk's thin quilt and cassock from bottom to top, the little monk's face turned red, that monster actually..."

Ji Xiao interrupted him: "Stop reading, Your Majesty."

With a smile in his eyes, Lu Chao said teasingly, "You are not ashamed, you dare to read these things in front of the emperor - these words are not fragrant enough, and they are not as good as experiencing it yourself."

"But everything written in black and white is a sleeping thing in the eyes of the slaves. This book is better than the poems and books." Ji Xiao got up, half-struck and half-taken the book in his hand, "If your majesty thinks it's dirty?" , and burn it."

As he said that, he was about to throw the book into the charcoal basin.

Lu Chao reached out and grabbed his wrist, and said generously: "Since they are all books, there is no distinction between high and low, so keep them."

After speaking, he put away the script and threw it on the table.

He returned to the table, sat down on the cushion, and waved to Jixiao: "Come here."

Ji Xiao walked slowly and sat down in front of him. Lu Chao put his arm around his waist, and put the ink pen into his hand with the other hand: "I'm exhausted, you can approve the rest for me, be safe." Make a circle for those who pay New Year’s greetings, mark a cross for those who beg to enter Beijing, and read it out for everyone to hear if they are neither.”

"Slave is stupid," Ji Xiao took the vermilion pen and opened another note, "If there are any mistakes or omissions, Your Majesty will take care of it."

Lu Chao responded, then wrapped his hands around Ji Xiao's waist, put his chin on his shoulder, and finally turned his head to look at his face from a distance.

Just looked at him like this for a long time.

The warm breath brushed Ji Xiao's cheek like a feather, only to hear Lu Chao muffled: "There is an old friend."

Ji Xiao paused with the vermilion pen in his hand: "Huh?"

"You are so similar to him, you obviously only resemble him by five or six points, but you have a frown and a smile..." Lu Chao was silent for a while, and then murmured, "But he has become a fairy, otherwise the widow would really think you are him reincarnation."

Lu Chao was so soft, Ji Xiao turned his head and met his gaze: "What's that man's name?"

Lu Chao didn't answer.

"It's called Ji Xiao," Ji Xiao smiled, "isn't it?"

"Who told you?" Lu Chao's eyes turned cold, and the softness that seemed to have been released inadvertently just now was swept away.

"The servant dared to guess. When he first entered the palace, Eunuch Wei said that the name of the servant was a taboo, and he asked the servant to change his name to Wei Shiliu. In addition, when Grand Master Ji mentioned the word 'Jixiao' last night, you were furious— —Dare to ask Your Majesty, since you are an old friend, why don't you dare to hear his name?"

Before he finished speaking, Lu Chao interrupted him: "Shut up."

Ji Xiao opened his mouth to speak again, but was held back by Lu Chao, as if deliberately retaliating, that kiss was very deep, as if he wanted to be with him forever.

But just before Ji Xiao felt that he was about to pass out like this, Lu Chao suddenly let go and tore off the hairband on his head with his hands.

With a head of black hair like a waterfall falling down, Ji Xiao lowered her head and gasped for breath. She was stunned for a while, but when she woke up, she found that her hands had been tied behind her back by Lu Chao with the ribbon.

Lu Chao pushed him onto the desk, and Ji Xiao lost his balance, and pressed face down on the paper that he had just approved. The ink on the paper was not yet dry, but it was printed on the corner of his lips, staining a small blur of vermilion.

"You just found an opportunity, so you want to put your nose on your face," Lu Chao leaned into his ear, and said slowly, "Wang Jixiao, don't forget what you are. It's just a sycophant who can't turn around. Who will give it to you?" Do you have the guts to question the widow like this?"

Ji Xiao knew that she probably guessed right. The more people like Lu Chao dare not face them directly, the more they don't want to talk about them, the more they will arouse his anger. Only then did they truly touch the deepest desire that he couldn't ask for. .

How ridiculous, to be regarded as a fake from the previous life.

"Because he became a fairy, so all the people like him are guilty from now on?" Ji Xiao chuckled, then stood up again, turned her head to look at Lu Chao, and then said word by word, "Your Majesty, You are the real idiot."

When he spoke, his eyelashes were not drooping, and there was a smile in his eyes, which seemed to be compassionate.

Lu Chao hated this look very much.

Ji Xiao's action angered him instantly, and the next moment Lu Chao hastily tore off Ji Xiao's lower garment, and then exerted a ruthless force on his back.

.........

Immediately, he turned Ji Xiao's face away, and seeing the tearing expression on his face due to pain, Lu Chao let out a breath slowly.

It doesn't matter if it's painful or angry, just don't look at him like that...

Just fine.
