the emperor's man catches ghosts

Xiao Changli didn't speak any more, looking at the graceful and elegant characters on the paper, he didn't remind him that he had to copy according to Guangling's handwriting.

Under the candlelight, the room was warm, and the two sat facing each other, copying silently, occasionally raising their eyes to look at the person opposite them quietly, and then lowering their eyebrows to hide the serene smile on the corners of their eyes.

In a trance, not knowing how late the night was, Yun Yu finished copying a few pages and felt a little tired.A small insect flew over and circled by his ear for a while, he raised his hand to drive it away, splashing a little ink on his cheek.

The words in front of her eyes were full of shadows, and they were still a little shaking. Yun Yu closed her eyes, and after closing them, she couldn't open them.

Xiao Changli finished copying a page, and was about to remind him to go back to rest, when he saw him lying on the desk, and had already set up a chess game with Duke Zhou.On the exposed cheeks, a little ink is still eye-catching.

Xiao Changli stretched out his hand, wanting to wipe it off for him, but after a pause, he gently pushed on his shoulder: "Your Majesty..."

Yun Yu moved and looked at him with sleepy eyes: "What's the matter?"

"Go back and rest."

"Oh." Yun Yu nodded, stood up while rubbing her eyes, and rubbed away the ink stain on her cheek, making it a paste.

Xiao Changli also got up and took a cloak to put on him, but seeing someone yawning, he walked into the inner room in a daze, took off his shoes and lay down on it.

When Xiao Changli was in a daze, Yun Yu had already pulled up the quilt and covered her tightly, and fell into a deep sleep.

It took Xiao Changli a while to recover, and he put down his cloak again, not knowing whether to wake him up or let him fall asleep.

After this hesitation, it was already halfway through the cold night, so he simply sat down and continued to copy, in order to pass the long night and meditate.

The drowsiness came and went quickly, Yun Yu woke up after sleeping for more than half an hour, and was still dazed for a while after opening her eyes, only then remembered that she had occupied Xiao Changli's bed.

He hurriedly got up and went out, the candle was full of tears, the charcoal fire was already weak, and the figure under the lamp didn't seem to have moved at all.

Yun Yu blamed herself very much, and regretted that there was no cure for the problem of getting sleepy while reading, and she made him wait for such a long time in the cold night with his sick body.

Xiao Changli looked up, saw someone standing opposite him with a tangled face, smiled faintly, and said, "The emperor is awake?"

Seeing this smile, the self-blame in Yun Yu's heart suddenly became warm and itchy, floating in his body, making him a little confused.

He walked over and took Xiao Changli's pen, took his hand, and was so cold by the coldness of that hand, he dragged him away: "Stop copying, go to sleep."

Some were so arrogant that they pinned the person on the bed, Yun Yu said: "You don't have to copy it anymore, I'll talk to Liu Congwen."

Xiao Changli opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, and finally said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Seeing his wooden appearance, Yun Yu was really upset, so she stood by the bedside for a while, and said: "Then...you rest, I'm going back."

He didn't hear Xiao Changli squeak until he put on his cloak.

He gritted his teeth, annoyed that he didn't stay, and even more annoyed by the shameless thought that he wanted to stay and sleep with him.

But, it was so late, did he really not stay?

Oh, that's all...

He brushed the fluff on the cloak, feeling warmer, and pushed the door to leave, but Xiao Changli's voice came from behind him: "It's late at night, I should send the emperor back."

A hand walked away from him, opened the door, and the cold wind hit his face, but Yun Yu felt warm.

The imperial palace in the dark night faded away from the prosperity of the day, and it looked quiet and deep, and the palace lanterns could be seen shining close to the main hall.The two of them walked past the bright yellow lights and the shadows of the dark night one by one, as if they had walked together for many years.

Just listening to the footsteps of people walking behind her, Yun Yu could feel at ease, and she only hoped that this road could be further away.

"Your Majesty." Xiao Changli said suddenly, Yun Yu stopped and looked at him, waiting for him to speak.

Xiao Changli controlled the distance between the two of them, and said: "I feel that the grandson of Liu Taifu has the ability to exorcise evil spirits, and he may be a bit inferior to living in the Imperial Academy, so it is better for the emperor to give him the post of chastity and rectification. But Lord Anliu loves his son so much, the second is to let him show his strengths, and not make a fuss all day about going back to Tingyunguan."

Yun Yu thought about it, and felt that it was a good idea, and said: "Then what kind of official position do you think he should be given?"

Xiao Changli said: "Recently there have been frequent cases of conspiracy in the capital, fearing that evil spirits may cause trouble, the emperor might as well transfer him to Dali Temple to assist in handling the case."

Yun Yu smiled and said: "Excellent, this way, your former colleagues won't have to look for you anymore."

Xiao Changli smiled, he was not afraid of trouble when he made this proposal, because he is not from Dali Temple after all, and it is always unjustifiable to usurp his authority.Transferring Guangling to Dali Temple is justified. Those who come out of Tingyun Temple in a serious way are much more reliable than him who became a monk halfway.

As for Han Ziyu's grievances with him, that's another matter.

"I'll go make an order tomorrow, and you're not allowed to take care of anything that comes after you in the future." Yun Yu looked at Xiao Changli, like an order or a plea.Xiao Changli didn't look directly at his burning gaze, but nodded with lowered eyes.

Going forward is the other courtyard of the harem, seeing the waiting palace people holding palace lanterns to greet them, Xiao Changli stopped in his tracks: "The emperor rests earlier, and I will leave."

Seeing him turn around, Yun Yu moved her hands faster than she thought, and grabbed his wrist.

Xiao Changli stopped: "What is the emperor..."

Yun Yu exerted some strength, then let go, sighed, somewhat helplessly complaining: "Xiao Changli, in your eyes, am I just the emperor?"

Xiao Changli didn't speak, but there were ripples in his heart, which were hard to describe.

"If this status will only make you reject me thousands of miles away, then I'd rather not be some kind of emperor." Yun Yu looked at a sycamore tree beside her that was falling leaves with the wind, with her hands folded in her sleeves, her tone full of confusion, " When I was in Shiying, I asked you what exactly you want, and you said that it was only ideal. But what does your heart really want?"

Xiao Changli lowered his head, his expression was half bright and half dark, and his mind was half clear and half confused.

He couldn't answer this question, and if he answered it, he would be treasonous.

The heart is wandering between advance and retreat, and if you take a step, you will be lost forever.

Suddenly there was a burst of warmth on his face, Yun Yu held his face with his hands, and a faint breath approached, the appearance of the person in front of him became more blurred, but there was a strange and familiar temperature, touching his lips.

This feeling reminded him of an unbearable memory. At that time, he was crazy and rude, and committed a crime that could destroy the nine clans.But there was something completely different from that time, the man's breath was clearer, with a faint scent of sweet-scented osmanthus.

Xiao Changli was about half a head taller than Yun Yu, and he had to stand on tiptoes to touch him.His cheeks and lips were cold, and the coolness seemed to seep into Yun Yu's body, making him tremble a little.

This coolness made him tremble, and overwhelming joy and heartbeat swept over him, making him forget what night and what night.

The footsteps of the palace servants got closer, and Xiao Changli took a step back suddenly.The warmth left, his sanity returned and he stood on the spot.

Yun Yu's face was a little hot, but he knew very well what he had done. If the person in front of him didn't get enlightened, he might really rot into a wooden pile.

It was obvious that he dropped the bait in the pond first, and when the fish came to bite, he abandoned the hook and retreated completely. How could it be such a cheap thing?

"Xiao Changli, I don't know how to choose a concubine after standing up. If one day you fall from this position, remember to catch me, because..." Yun Yu approached and whispered in his ear, " This is all thanks to you."

People have gone far away, until the bright yellow palace lantern disappeared in front of his eyes, Xiao Changli's mind still echoed Yun Yu's smile before he left, a sly but determined smile.

And the light and charming ink stain on his face.

"Oh my lord, you are back!" Yun Yu's personal servant Xiao Anzi saw him as if he had met his own ancestor, and hurried over to welcome him, "If you don't come back, I will let the imperial army look for it. Your Majesty , where have you been in the middle of the night? Is it cold? I asked them to bring you a cup of hot soup... Hey, Your Majesty, what's wrong with your face?"

Xiao Anzi took a handkerchief to help him wipe the ink on his face, Yun Yu took it, and while wiping it, secretly blamed Xiao Changli for not reminding him.

To be so cautious, alas.

He sighed helplessly, he really didn't know what to do with him, he dreamed of being entangled with him in the lonely mountain forest, his heart was tormented like ice and fire, and he couldn't sleep.
