I picked up a ghost and took it home

In July, the weather turns cold.

Even the lotus flowers connected to the lotus leaves on the Taiye Pond also showed signs of decay.

Li Xuan was sitting in the hall writing the score, and Xiaoshi limped in and knelt aside to grind.Seeing him, Li Xuan scolded, "Why are you here? Didn't I let you rest indoors?"

Little Shitou smiled, "I'm fine." He took a peek at Li Xuan's thin face, and said in a low voice, "I sent someone to inquire. The general is fine, but he's still recuperating at Ye's family and hasn't returned to the Shence Camp. .”

Li Xuan's hand holding the pen stopped, and the ink dripped down, spreading a large piece on the fine rice paper.

"Your Highness, why don't you go and visit?" Xiao Shitou suggested.

Li Xuan lowered his eyes and remained silent.Little Shitou said again: "The General is His Highness's life-saver, and His Highness should visit him out of emotion and reason. Everyone in Chang'an City is discussing that His Highness is ignorant and doesn't even look at the General. The general used to be His Highness's teacher."

"My hall doesn't care what they say." Li Xuan put down his pen, rolled up the paper in front of him, and threw it out casually.

Xiao Shitou said: "Your Highness doesn't care, but Your Majesty does."

After more than two months, I stepped into Ye Mansion again. The weeds that grew wildly in the yard have been harvested, the walls and roof tiles have been repaired, and a lot of maids and servants have been added. It is the same as the desolate yard I saw for the first time. It's completely different and has gained a lot of popularity.

Xiao Shitou explained from the side: "The general has meritorious service in escorting him. His Majesty rewarded him and sent people to repair the yard."

"Really?" Li Xuan said calmly, walking towards Ye Fan's yard.Seeing that it was His Royal Highness Lu Wang, the servants naturally did not dare to stop him.

Ye Fan put on a coat and was sitting on the bed reading military books, when he suddenly felt a person standing at the door, he couldn't help but turn his eyes - when he saw Li Xuan, he was stunned, and dropped the book in his hand.

With a smile on Li Xuan's face, he walked in slowly, stood beside the bed, and asked softly, "Is the general feeling better?"

Ye Fan stared blankly at the person standing by the bed, then suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself hard.

Li Xuan was stunned: "What is the general doing?"

Seeing that Li Xuan was still standing beside the bed after slapping his hands, Ye Fan also laughed, "I thought it was just another hallucination."

Li Xuan's smile faltered.

Xiao Shitou moved the stool for Li Xuan and put it beside the bed, and said with a smile, "Please sit down, Your Highness, and talk to the general slowly. The slave will wait outside." He retreated deftly outside the hall and closed the door.

Li Xuan's eyes fell on Ye Fan's shoulders covered in layers, and he asked in a daze, "How long will it take?"

"Hurry up, it's too exaggerated, but it's not serious." Ye Fan smiled, looked at Li Xuan's thin face, and asked worriedly, "Your Highness has lost a lot, but did you encounter any trouble? Or is it unwell? "

Li Xuan came back to his senses and smiled slightly at Ye Fan, "My Highness is the younger brother of the current emperor, who would dare to cause trouble? Instead of worrying about me, the general should take care of himself."

Ye Fan smiled: "That's right, Mr. Chen likes to think wildly."

The two looked at each other, as if they had nothing to say for a while, their eyes gradually became melancholy.Li Xuan said: "Is the date of marriage fixed?"

Ye Fan's expression darkened, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Not yet, when the date is fixed, I will play His Majesty at the meeting."

"His Royal Highness wants to personally prepare the gift, what does the General want?"

"...Your Highness don't need to worry about it, I don't need anything."

"Oh." Li Xuan responded and turned to go out, "The general rests, and my highness is leaving."

Ye Fan grabbed Li Xuan's wrist, and with more strength, the wound oozes blood again, staining his shoulder red.He looked up at Li Xuan, almost pleading: "It's rare for His Highness to come, please sit down for a while."

Li Xuan's eyes burned, and his body couldn't help shaking slightly. He turned his head, looked at Ye Fan, and almost begged, "Let go."

Seeing Li Xuan's expression, Ye Fan felt a great pain in his heart. With his hands, he pulled Li Xuan's thin body into his arms and hugged her tightly.He rubbed Li Xuan's cold body in his arms vigorously, and said in a trembling voice, "Don't let go."

Li Xuan couldn't break free, and buried her face on Ye Fan's shoulder feebly, tears soaked into Ye Fan's thin clothes, scalding like a brand.

"What should I do?" Li Xuan murmured.

"I don't know." Ye Fan said painfully, "I don't want to let Your Highness go. I miss His Highness all the time. If I want to let you go, I have to die."

In August of the same year, Wei Bo Jiedu envoy Tian Yue raised troops to rebel, and ordered General You Shence to lead troops north to quell the rebellion.

Ye Fan had just recovered from his serious injuries, so he rushed back to the Shence camp overnight to rectify the troops.

Chang'an City is singing and dancing as in the past.Li Xuan was in a trance in front of the case, when a melodious singing suddenly came from the yard outside:

"Advise you not to cherish golden thread clothes, and advise you to cherish your youth. The flowers can be broken when they bloom, and the branches will not be broken when there are no flowers."

The little stone was grinding the ink aside, and the ink had accumulated in a pile, almost overflowing the inkstone, he whispered: "Your Highness, the general has experienced many battles, and he will return safely, don't worry, just write and relax. "

Li Xuan came back to his senses suddenly, picked up the pen, and wrote a line of poems sparsely: "The flowers bloom and the branches are broken, don't wait for no flowers to break the branches."

Little Shitou was dazed for a while, Li Xuan straightened up and ran out of the hall.

Linyou Town, Shence Camp.

It was already afternoon when soldiers and horses from other towns were mobilized, and Ye Fan had been busy all day without touching his feet, and it was already evening when he returned to the courtyard where he lived.

In the main hall, Li Xuan's things were still lying there. Knowing that Li Xuan would not come back, Ye Fan didn't let anyone clean it up, so he still went over occasionally to take a look.

But just now, Ye Fan was stunned when he entered the yard, the lights in the main hall were on.He ran forward in two or three steps, and found that Xiaoshi was sitting at the entrance of the hall. He was pleasantly surprised, and hurried into the hall, but the hall was empty.

Ye Fan walked out in frustration, and looked at Xiao Shitou: "Your Highness... isn't there?"

Xiao Shitou stood up, patted the ashes off his buttocks, raised his head and asked, "General, when are you leaving?"

Ye Fan lost his mind and said, "Tomorrow morning."

Xiao Shitou said: "There is time." He then looked at Ye Fan again: "His Royal Highness is here, in the palace."

In the north of Linyou Town, there is a royal palace, but the war has been unstable in recent years, and few royal families have come here to escape the summer, so they are free.Ye Fan followed the little stone, rode the horse in the starry night, and galloped outside the palace.

Xiaoshi led the way, pushed open the heavy palace door, and said softly: "General, Your Highness is waiting inside. All the people in this palace have been kicked out by His Highness tonight, only you and His Highness."

Ye Fan wanted to see Li Xuan all his heart, so why did he listen to Xiao Shitou's words?He couldn't wait to step through the palace gate, looked over the wide square, and saw Li Xuan standing in the distance.

The palace is majestic, and there are tall white marble steps in front of the hall. Li Xuan was dressed in white and stood at the top of the steps. He was looking up at the plaque in front of the hall. Ye Fan in the square.

Ye Fan took three steps at a time, ran up the high stone steps quickly, and hugged Li Xuan in his arms. He hugged him tightly, and then laughed happily, and felt a little uneasy. Pushing Li Xuan away, looking down at Li Xuan's face carefully, he murmured, "Your Highness, are you dreaming?"

Li Xuan's hand was a little cold from the night wind, he raised his hand and touched Ye Fan's face.

Ye Fan was terrified by the ice, burst out laughing instantly, and hugged Li Xuan into her arms again, happily not knowing what to say.Li Xuan let Ye Fan hold her tightly, with a smile on his face.

After a while, Li Xuan said softly, "I also feel like I'm dreaming."

Only then did Ye Fan let go of Li Xuan, seeing that although Li Xuan was dressed in brocade clothes, but the clothes were thin, he couldn't help frowning: "Why is Your Highness here? It's cold, you should wear thicker clothes when you go out." He said, taking off his cloak, Fasten it for Li Xuan.Li Xuan waited for Ye Fan to finish his work, then took Ye Fan's hand and walked towards the palace.

Passing through the palaces one after another, I didn't see a single person, and the palace was cleaned up, as if no one took care of it, Ye Fan was surprised: "Where are the people in this palace?"

"I drove him away." Li Xuan said.

"Why?" Seeing Li Xuan dragging him down the last palace, through the courtyard, out of the palace gate, and down the forest road, Ye Fan was even more puzzled: "Your Highness, where are we going?" place?"

Li Xuan didn't answer.

Although Ye Fan was confused, he didn't ask any more questions, and just stared at Li Xuan for a moment, as if he couldn't get enough of it.Until the surrounding fog gradually thickened, and then, the sound of gurgling water was heard.Then when the mountain road turns, you will see a hot spring, which exudes warmth in the cool autumn night.

"Hot spring?" Ye Fan seemed to understand, but didn't quite understand.

"Three steps of misty soup." Li Xuan stopped and smiled at Ye Fan, "I came to play when I was young, and got the name."

"Good name." Ye Fan asked, "Did Your Highness specially bring the minister to the hot spring?"

"Yeah." Li Xuan let go of Ye Fan's hand, took three steps forward, and disappeared from Ye Fan's sight. He stood silently for a moment, untied the cloak on his shoulders, took off his coat, and walked to in the water.

Hearing the rustling of clothes, Ye Fan froze on the side of the mist.Li Xuan's voice came through the mist: "The water is very warm, won't the general take a dip?"

"Your Highness, Your Highness..." Ye Fan hesitated, breathing heavily involuntarily.Li Xuan smiled softly: "Do you want His Highness to help the general take off his clothes?"

Ye Fan woke up with a jolt. Hearing the quiet sound of water around him, his fingers trembled slightly. He took off his coat with a tense body, walked slowly into the water, and slowly sat down by the pool.The water was indeed warm.There was a fog in front of my eyes, it was hard to see clearly, I could only hear a soft questioning voice from beside me: "How long will it take for the general to go out this time?"

"Your Highness... how do you know there is such a good hot spring here?" Ye Fan answered irrelevantly, he didn't know what to do, and he completely understood what Li Xuan wanted to do.But can they... can they do this?

With the sound of splashing water, Li Xuan walked over through the fog and stepped on the water.

In just three steps, Ye Fan listened to the sound of water, but his whole body was stiff.

The white clothes on Li Xuan's body were soaked and stuck to her body, making her look slender and thin. Her long hair was scattered and wet, sticking to her body in a mess, but her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were both nervous and firm. Ye Fan After only one glance, he turned his face away with difficulty, and said in a trembling voice, "Your Highness..."

Li Xuan stared at Ye Fan closely, making it impossible for Ye Fan to escape. He asked persistently, "How long will it take for the general to go out this time?"

"Two years, three years, or five years." Ye Fan could only answer.

"Really?" Li Xuan raised his hand, and lightly touched Ye Fan's face in front of him.Both of them were trembling and breathing heavily.Ye Fan tightly grasped the front of his shirt with both hands, barely resisting the impulse in his body, and dodged, "Your Highness..."

However, Li Xuan turned Ye Fan's face to his eyes regardless, bowed his head and kissed her.All Ye Fan's patience, all his rationality, collapsed in an instant. Almost as soon as Li Xuan leaned over, he rubbed Li Xuan tightly into his arms with his backhand, kissing frantically, greedily, thinking day by day. Ye Nian, what he can't wish for, this deep-rooted desire has already made him go crazy, if he can't touch the person in his arms thoroughly, if he can't kiss the person in his arms thoroughly, if he can't completely occupy the person in his arms This person, he would rather die than live.

Li Xuan felt the raging Ye Fan on his body, and looked at the night sky in a daze, the fog had cleared up at some point, revealing the bright stars of the day, he sighed softly, and hugged Ye Fan tightly.
