Chapter 68
Extra Story
In the ninth year of Emperor Wu, he went to the study
The learned old lady Fu's old voice spoke intermittently and clearly about the way of being a king.
"Teacher~" A lazy voice suddenly interrupted his words.
The old matriarch quickly put down the book, and said respectfully, "What do you want to order, Second Highness?"
"The third brother's outstanding talent has been rumored for a year. I think that within three years, the father will definitely make him the crown prince, and then I will have nothing to do. Taifu, you will not give me any troubles in the future." , talk about the way of being a king!" Ji Yueliu blinked her beautiful eyes and said with an evil smile.
The old matriarch was unmoved, and was upright, "The extra courses outside the regular class are ordered by the emperor. Without the emperor's permission, the veterans cannot change it without authorization; besides, it is really not for me and other ministers to discuss the matter of appointing the crown prince." Yes, Your Highness, please speak carefully."
"Tsk tsk, it's really boring." Ji Yueliu curled her lips, bored.
"The old minister sees that His Highness is also tired. Let's rest earlier today, and please pay attention to your review after class." The Taifu just bowed his head and said a word, and Ji Yueliu had already run out of the hall without turning his head. I went back and left.
The old matriarch shook his head with a sigh, packed up the books, got up and left the upper study room, and went straight to the imperial study room.
Imperial study room
"Why did Tai Tuo end get out of class so early today? Did my second boy make Tai Tuo angry again?" Emperor Wu sat behind the table and scolded with a smile.
"Where, the second highness seems to be reckless, but in fact, his intelligence is transparent, and his talent is not inferior to the third highness, but overall, compared with the crown prince, the second highness is more suitable as an auxiliary minister." The Tai Tuo said respectfully.
"Oh? In the past, I never heard the Taifu praise him. What happened today? Did he say something?" Emperor Wu looked at this old and reliable old courtier with interest.
"To tell you the truth, I was in the study just now..." The Taifu faithfully relayed what he said just now to the emperor.
"Hahaha~ that brat!" Emperor Wu laughed and scolded.
After a long while, the laughter faded away, Emperor Wu let the Tai Tuo back down, and said with emotion to Eunuch Hai beside him, "The second child is also a thorough Ji family, so it seems that if there are no changes in three years, I am afraid that the third child will really be registered. gone."
"The sage is wise, and the princes are naturally excellent. No matter who they are, they must be able to carry the foundation of the Great Zhou." Eunuch Hai comforted.
"You know, I have never worried about their abilities. The only thing I worry about is their character as Ji's family members. The second child is no longer a person who can be a lonely monarch in the palace with peace of mind. Now I only hope that the third child can mature Some, content with identity and responsibility."
Eunuch Hai was silent.
After leaving the upper study room, Ji Yueliu avoided the guards and palace people all the way, wandering among the various palaces.
"Hey, have you heard? In the past few days, the Leng Palace seems to be haunted by ghosts!" Seeing that there was no one around, a maid said mysteriously in a low voice.
"How could it be?" Another court lady opened her eyes wide and almost cried out.
"Why not? In the past few days, people have often passed by there, or saw black shadows, or heard gunshots. The guards even went in to check, but there was no one at all."
"That's not scary!"
"No, you know, there must be some unjust souls of concubines who died in the past in Lenggong, who may be waiting for an opportunity to take revenge!"
"Scary! In the past few days, I have never said anything near that side, even if I took a detour."
"Okay, someone will come later, let's go."
As soon as the two maids left, Ji Yueliu came out from the bushes, with a thoughtful expression on her face and bright eyes, "Zhengchou has nothing to do, so I won't be bored now!"
Ji Yueliu walked towards the cold palace unhurriedly.
The location of Lenggong is originally a cold place, plus few people come, even in the daytime, especially, the harem of Ji's royal family is much more peaceful than other dynasties, so it will be a few days if it is deserted. Ten years later, it seems more dilapidated.
Ji Yueliu's small body shuttled between the grass and the corridors of the palace wall, quite familiar with the road.
That's right, it's a familiarity with the road!
You know, sometimes in order to hide, he often comes here, and of course he also knows that this place is just desolate and gloomy, not as scary as they said.
"Huh?!" When he passed a hidden corner, he suddenly stopped, squatted down, and carefully looked at the pool of strange marks.
There is a little dark red in the black, and it looks like it has only been two or three days.
The beach stretched in a certain direction, and a few drops of similar traces appeared every certain distance.
Ji Yueliu covered those traces with soil as he walked, until he came to the door of a side hall.
He swayed outside the door twice.
The door lock is intact, but one window has been opened by someone, and it has not been closed tightly.
He pretended to be old-fashioned and touched his chin.
From the looks of it, he was seriously injured!
"Come out, someone!" Ji Yueliu called out into the air.
A man in black appeared, "What orders does Your Highness have?"
"Open the door for my prince, so there will be less noise." He walked a few steps away and pointed to the door.
"Yes." The dark guard responded, walked to the door, and fiddled with the door lock, and soon heard a "click", and the door lock opened.
Then he opened the door carefully and bowed to invite him in.
Ji Yueliu looked at the visible dust flying in the air with disgust, and suddenly didn't want to go in.
Less movement, still so much dust, really bad!The dust inside must be heavier, or if someone cleans up the surrounding area, he will go in again?
Ji Yueliu hesitated for a moment in conflict, and finally gritted his teeth and walked in.
Of course, the hidden guard sensed that there were people in the room, and he felt that it was still very dangerous, so he didn't back down and followed in together.
Ji Yueliu was not wrong, the dust smell in the house was indeed very strong, but even stronger than that was the strong smell of blood.
This side hall is not very big, there is a set of tables and chairs inside, and the inner room is separated by a screen to the right.
Apparently, that person was in the inner room.
Ji Yueliu didn't intend to spend another half a minute in this foul-smelling room, so she walked quickly behind the screen, and just as she was about to go around the screen, a cold light flashed in front of her eyes.
"Be careful, Your Highness!"
Ji Yueliu felt herself being jerked, and a strand of hair on her temples broke when her ears got cold.
He didn't react for a while, and was stunned.
The hidden guard thought he was frightened and asked him if he was injured.
Only then did Ji Yueliu come back to her senses, and calmly waved her hand.
The dark guard saw that his expression was calm, not like the person who was almost injured just now, so he was a little relieved.
Ji Yueliu turned her head and saw the long sword nailed to the window frame.
The hilt is very ordinary, especially the blade of the sword.
The blade is not wide, just normal size, but both sides of the blade are patterned with snowflakes.
"Give me that sword."
The dark guard pulled out the sword and gave him both hands.
Ji Yueliu held the hilt of the sword and shook it under the light, the snow patterns on the blade flickered, just like the wind blowing snow under the sun in winter, crystal clear and beautiful.
"Snow Ren?" He suddenly remembered the news from Jianghu that he had heard when he sneaked out of the palace to play a few days ago.
Such a sword can only belong to one person.
He stepped decisively around the screen.
The hidden guard didn't notice for a while, and was about to pull him back, but found that there was no danger, so he hurriedly followed.
And Ji Yueliu was already standing in front of the couch in the inner room.
A young man with bruises all over his face, whose face could not be seen clearly, was leaning against the bed, breathing weakly, already unconscious.
It seems that when he noticed someone coming in just now, he was ready to strike with all his strength, but who knew that the person who came was not repelled, so he fainted from exhaustion.
"Let me just say, what kind of ghost is there? It's clearly a wounded beast!" Ji Yueliu smiled lightly.
He stretched out his hand and pinched the man's chin, teasingly said, "It looks good, but it's too dirty!"
The dark guard watched his teasing movements, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Ji Yueliu seemed to have noticed something, and glanced at him, and the dark guard quickly lowered his head.
"Take him back to Liuyue Palace, temporarily place him in the side hall, let him wash it up, and ask the little eunuch to find an imperial doctor, so as not to alarm too many people."
"Yes."
The dark guard stepped forward to support the man, and went back to Liuyue Palace first, followed by Ji Yueliu, who rushed back.
He really couldn't stand the dirty environment anymore, and when he got back to his palace, he immediately asked someone to prepare hot water and wash it thoroughly.
When he finished cleaning, changed into new clothes, and went to the side hall, the imperial physician had already arrived.
"Second Highness."
Ji Yueliu waved her sleeves to avoid the ceremony, and asked, "How is he?"
"Returning to Your Highness, this young master has more than thirty sword wounds and sword wounds all over his body. Some of them are new wounds that have not healed. Not only did he lose a lot of blood, but he also festered due to improper handling; It was a serious internal injury, but fortunately he had strong internal strength and a strong body, so he didn't hurt the root. Later, the old minister would goug out the festering part, apply medicine, and combine it with decoction, and he would be able to fully recover after three months of bed rest."
"Okay, let's do it!" After finishing speaking, Ji Yueliu walked out without looking back.
He was not afraid of seeing such a bloody scene, but there was no need to stain his eyes for a person who was neither relative nor relative.
An hour later, the imperial physician wrote a prescription and left.
The palace people all withdrew.
Ji Yueliu sat on the edge of the bed and looked at him carefully again.
It looks like it hasn't reached the crown yet, with slender and straight eyebrows like a sword, a high nose, and thin lips. It's really good, but I don't know what the eyes look like, and the expression is too cold, it doesn't look too pleasing happiness.
Well!I've wanted to get a follower for a long time, the number one killer in the world should be of some use!
Ji Yueliu thought so.
After a day and night, he woke up.
When Ji Yueliu heard the sound, she saw the palace people standing around in the outer room of the side hall.
"What are you doing here? Is there nothing else to do!" Although the voice was a little childish, it couldn't be more terrifying to the people in the palace.
The palace people pleaded guilty and left in a hurry.
When Ji Yueliu walked into the inner room, she saw that the man was full of vigilance and vigilance, and the cold air was overwhelming.
A hidden guard suddenly appeared in front of Ji Yueliu, "Be careful, Your Highness!"
"It's okay, you can step back." Ji Yueliu calmly walked around him and walked in front of the man.
The big light-colored eyes looked at the pair of slightly long and narrow phoenix eyes without blinking.
It was as dark as ink, and there was no wave in the ancient well, as if nothing in this world could catch his eyes, including human life.
Those were indeed killer eyes.
Ji Yueliu nodded in satisfaction, "Well, it didn't disappoint me. Those eyes look pretty good too, although they're not as pretty as mine!"
Even after hearing these words, the man's expression remained unchanged.
"Then, let's talk about the business!" Ji Yueliu was not afraid of the coldness on his body, and sat down beside him casually, "I am the second prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Ji Yueliu. From today on, you will be Xiao'an, As for your original identity, I don't care about it. After all, I saved you, and everything about you belongs to me, and I have the final say, including your life. I just need a follower now, and you will follow me in the future. By my side, don't leave without my order."
"..." The man stared at this beautiful, lovely and noble boy, wondering what he was thinking.
"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent." Ji Yueliu blinked, then changed the topic suddenly, "Of course, even if you don't agree, I won't agree, and you can't leave here."
The man didn't care, but felt that this little boy was really not simple.
But, yes, children who grew up in the palace would never be easy!
In silence, he relaxed his body and lay back, closing his eyes slightly.
Since there is no danger, let's stay here for a while, with his martial arts, if he wants to leave in the future, who can trap him!
"Oh, by the way, your sword looks quite beautiful to me, so I won't return it to you in the future. As compensation, I will give you another sword. After all, it is the number one servant by my side. You can’t even have a handy weapon.”
He opened his eyes and turned his head to the side, looked at him indifferently, then turned around and closed his eyes.
"Fushun!" Ji Yueliu got up and walked to the side, sitting on the low couch against the wall in the inner room, calling.
"The servant is here." A handsome young eunuch bowed and bowed his head in response.
"Go and get those scripts, the prince won't be leaving the palace for a few days."
"Yes."
Ji Yueliu lazily rested her elbows on the table, under her face, looked at the person on the bed with her light brown peach blossom eyes, and did not move.
Xiao An naturally noticed his gaze.
It's nothing more than being looked at a few times, but he can't die, Xiaoan is still the same.
Naturally, Emperor Wu had to be notified of this matter.
When Emperor Wu heard about this, he didn't care, "He's just a Jianghu man, as long as he doesn't hurt him, he can arrange it however he wants."
Therefore, Xue Ren, the number one killer who was once famous in the world, stayed in the palace as the servant of the second prince of the current dynasty.
For more than a month after that, Ji Yueliu spent most of her time in the side hall of Liuyue Palace, except for attending classes in the study room and paying respects to her father and concubine mother.
Fortunately, there are enough words and books collected on weekdays, so it is not boring.
However, she usually sneaked out of the palace at least once a week, but also stopped because of his relationship.
Of course, Ji Yueliu was almost at her limit.
After all, since he was sensible, he has rarely stayed in the palace for so long.
So, when Xiaoan was able to get out of bed for the first time in more than a month without help, Ji Yueliu almost jumped up happily.
But used to seeing him look like a little grown-up, Xiaoan raised his eyebrows rare at his happy childish look.
After all, he was just a child.
"Hey, did you raise your eyebrows just now?" Ji Yueliu suddenly grabbed his clothes, pulled him down, leaned in front of him, and said solemnly.
Xiaoan raised his eyebrows again: so what?
Ji Yueliu understood his meaning from his eyes, "What? So you are not facial paralyzed!" He said happily, "However, I have never heard that the number one killer is dumb. Tell me something. I listen."
Xiaoan directly looked away, ignoring it.
Ji Yueliu's light-colored eyes flickered, "Tsk tsk, it's not embarrassing for such a big man to act like a child!" His words were disgusting.
Hearing this, Xiao An turned his gaze back, but Ji Yueliu had already let go of his clothes and walked out on his own.
After walking a few steps, he suddenly turned around and said coldly, "Can't you walk? What are you doing there, waiting for my prince to help you?"
Xiaoan looked at his small back and shook her head silently.
When you can't get what you want like this, you are a child if you deliberately mock people!
Inexplicably, Xiaoan felt that this smart and unbelievably beautiful child was very cute.
As if understanding that he was just recovering from a serious illness, Ji Yueliu didn't go too far, but just walked around the Liuyue Palace.
"Since your illness is cured, from tomorrow on, you will follow me wherever I go. When I go out tomorrow morning, I want to see you, you hear me?"
Ji Yueliu didn't care whether he answered or not, and then said, "His illness is cured, he can no longer live in this side hall, Fushun, let someone clean up this place, and he will live in the palace master Liuyue from now on." in the ear chamber of the temple."
"Yes."
The ear room of the main hall of Liuyue Palace was specially reserved for the servants who kept watch at night, but Ji Yueliu never liked anyone sleeping so close to him, so it was always empty.
Until now, Xiaoan has lived in it.
From that day on, everyone in the palace knew that the second prince, Ji Yueliu, had recruited a new servant, whose status was even higher than that of the personal eunuch Fushun.
Everyone else thinks that Xiao An is a servant, but Fushun grew up watching Ji Yueliu, so he naturally knows that the Second Prince not only regards Xiao An as a follower, but let him say that the Second Prince regards Xiao An as a servant. Whoever it was, he couldn't tell why.
After all, the second prince really didn't treat Xiaoan very well.
"I want to drink water." The immature voice dictated.
Xiaoan poured him a glass of water.
"It's too cold."
Xiaoan changed a cup.
"too hot."
Xiaoan poured some cold water.
"I don't want to drink anymore."
Xiaoan put the water back on the table.
"That little bird looks interesting to me, go and catch it for me."
Xiaoan's figure flashed, disappeared for a moment, and when he landed back beside him, he held a confused little bird in his hand.
"I don't like this little bird anymore, show me a sword dance." Ji Yueliu continued without looking at the bird in his hand.
Xiaoan raised his hand, and the bird flew away.
Because there was no sword yet, Xiaoan broke off a branch and danced on the spot.
Ji Yueliu read it once, but lost interest.
……
Then there are endless orders, demands and difficulties.
Xiaoan followed his request, said what to do, and completed everything extremely well, but he didn't say a word, and he didn't even change his expression.
Ji Yueliu's idea of changing his expression naturally failed.
After making things difficult for a few days, Ji Yueliu lost interest. Of course, he won't give up so easily. It's just that the future will be long. If you want him to change his expression or say something, there will always be a chance. After all, he can't live forever. Don't speak, keep a blank face for the rest of your life.
Accustomed to living a wandering life, it's rare to be stable. Now, looking at this noble boy, it's interesting, so Xiaoan decided to stay.
Watching him absent-mindedly attend lectures, recite the Four Books and Five Classics when he is happy, and doze off when he is unhappy; watch him tease court ladies, tease eunuchs, and wander around the palace; ...
Intentionally or not, keeping his eyes on him made Xiaoan's boring life a lot more fun.
However, this calm did not last long.
Although Xiao An's sword was put away by Ji Yueliu and replaced with another sword, someone had seen his appearance and knew his appearance after all.
If he doesn't leave the palace, it's no big deal to stay in the palace. After the turmoil is over, naturally no one from the Jianghu will look for him.
However, Ji Yueliu forgot this, and before the turmoil passed, she couldn't bear the loneliness and took Xiaoan to sneak out of the palace to play.
The Jianghu people who flocked to the Imperial Capital would naturally notice him.
When Ji Yueliu took Xiaoan out of the palace for the fourth time, they were blocked in an alley.
Ji Yueliu looked at the group of people surrounding them with wide eyes, not seeing a trace of tension and uneasiness, and sighed: "It turns out that people in the Jianghu all look like this, I didn't expect that I picked a good one." Yes," said and glanced at Xiaoan beside him in admiration.
"Xue Ren, I didn't expect such a serious injury to kill you. Today we are determined not to let you leave alive again. Hurry up and die!"
"Hey! You fools, haven't you heard that it is up to the owner to beat a dog? I saved his life, and he must live if I let him live. If you want him to die, you have to ask Ask me if I agree or not!" Ji Yueliu's voice was immature, and at first he didn't seem to be able to attract their attention, but the unflappable aura in his tone really made them dare not underestimate him, after all, his identity was there.
A middle-aged man who seemed to be more measured stepped forward, "We have no intention of offending His Highness the Second Prince, but the one next to His Highness is the number one killer of the Black Gate, Xue Ren, who killed many of our brothers in the past, due to the strength of the Black Gate , we can’t touch him; now that he has betrayed the Black Gate and has no one to protect him, we will naturally seek revenge on him. Please also give us face, Your Highness, and hand him over to us.”
"Tch~" Ji Yueliu sneered disdainfully, "What are your identities, you dare to ask me for face, you take yourself too seriously!" After finishing speaking, she rolled her eyes and didn't even want to look at it again. They glance.
"Second Highness, it is only right and proper to kill people to pay for their lives. Does Your Highness want to cover up the murderer and cause the entire martial arts crusade?" Seeing his disapproval, the middle-aged man suppressed his annoyance, seemingly respectful, but actually moved out of the entire martial arts world, The intention was to put pressure on him. After all, in his eyes, no matter how smart Ji Yueliu was, he was still just a child, and he would never dare to be an enemy of the entire martial arts world.
"Presumptuous!" Ji Yueliu shouted coldly, "Who gave you the courage to threaten the second prince of the dynasty? You are just a bunch of mobs who still want to provoke the royal family of the dynasty? Besides, what qualifications do you have to represent the entire martial arts world to me? Putting pressure on you, even if you really want to kill someone, you should hand it over to the yamen and follow the rules, who gave you the power to despise the court and seek revenge in private!"
His high-sounding words made the other party unable to say a word for a long time, and he could only hold back his breath and bluff, "You... don't toast or eat fine wine, you are just two people, we are a group of people, no matter what , we will not let him leave here safely, even if something really happens to you today, the emperor can't kill all the people in the Jianghu for you."
"Heh~ Joke, who said there are only two of us!" Ji Yueliu just finished speaking, and more than 20 hidden guards appeared in the alley, surrounding Ji Yueliu and Xiao'an in the middle, protecting them.
"Now, even if there is a real conflict, I can say that you guys attacked me first, and I killed you out of self-protection. Even if I sue my father, do you think my father believes you or not?" Me?" Ji Yueliu mocked.
They had no choice but to give up on what they had planned in the first place. Their goal was to seek revenge from Xue Ren, but if they had an enmity with the royal family because of this, the loss would not be worth the gain.
And it's fine if there are only two people, after all, they are outnumbered, but now that the royal guards are here, if they really want to fight head-on, they won't get any benefit.
"Your Highness, Second Prince, we are reckless in today's matter, please don't blame your Highness! Let me leave now." After finishing speaking, the middle-aged man bowed his hands respectfully and said goodbye.
"Brother, don't you want to take revenge?" The young man beside him asked unwillingly.
"At least I know where he is hiding today. As long as he leaves the palace in the future, we will always have a chance to take revenge. We have waited for so long, and it will not be a few days away. Don't worry, he will not hide in the palace forever, or Always by the side of the Second Prince."
The young man turned his head and glared at Xue Ren full of resentment, and left with the crowd reluctantly.
The crisis was resolved, and the dark guards disappeared as before.
"I thought you wouldn't let them go easily."
"Do I look like a person who doesn't know anything and has no sense of proportion? These bullying people, just scare them..." Ji Yueliu said proudly, and suddenly realized who said those words just now Yes, she couldn't help turning her head suddenly, staring blankly at the person who spoke for the first time since seeing him.
Xiao An lowered his head slightly, looking back at him with a calm expression.
Ji Yueliu put away her surprised expression, blinked her eyes, and her lips curled into a sinister arc.
Although he was young, he was very romantic.
Ji Yueliu didn't specifically confirm anything, and reached out to hold his big hand, "Let's go!"
Xiaoan felt the soft and tender touch on his hands, which was a bit stiff and unaccustomed to him, but seeing the small figure in front of him, his body couldn't help relaxing, and unknown ripples appeared in his heart, spreading round and round...
That night, when they wandered outside to the gate, they looked at all the places in the capital that they had seen and hadn't seen, but no matter where they went, Ji Yueliu never let go of his hand.
For the next ten years, Ji Yueliu never stepped out of the palace gate.
In the 19th year of Emperor Wudi, Ji Yueliu had just turned 15 years old.
Liu Yue Dian
On the low couch by the window, a tall, cool and handsome man was sitting upright. Compared with ten years ago, his expressionless face had hardly changed, and he still ignored everything.
On his thighs, the black hair is messy, and there is a faintly romantic face, the baby fat has faded away, the face is thin, the eyebrows are long and narrow, male and female are indistinguishable, almost exactly the same as his mother and concubine when she was young; the pair of light-colored eyes It was tightly closed, obviously falling asleep for a long time.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew past the window, messing up his loose hair, as if awakened by the gust of wind, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and his misty peach blossom eyes quietly opened.
He blinked, and his eyes became clearer.
"Xiao'an, what time is it?" His voice was hoarse.
Xiaoan lowered his head, raised his hand and gently brushed the hair on his cheeks, "It's half past time." The simple answer, the clear and shallow voice seemed to have no emotion, but after careful identification, it would make people feel a little different emotion.
"Want to get up?"
Ji Yueliu didn't answer, but turned over and rubbed between his waist and abdomen affectionately, as if she really didn't want to wake up.
This is his habitual action when he has been lying in bed all these years.
Because he couldn't go out of the palace, he didn't get up early in the morning, and he had to stay in bed for a long time every day before he woke up reluctantly.
Xiaoan patted him on the back, "It's obvious that you don't want to stay in bed, why do you have to act like this?"
"Because I'm bored." Ji Yueliu suddenly raised her head and stared at him.
"Since you want to leave the palace, go out. I'm not weak enough to need your protection."
"I'm not doing it for you, I'm just afraid of trouble. When I think of having to be wary of this and that every time I leave the palace, I'm not interested in going out." He nestled in Xiao'an's arms and said in a muffled voice.
Xiao An didn't expose his lame lie, a smile flashed across his eyes.
Ji Yueliu got up from him, but did not leave, but leaned on his shoulder, "Fortunately, my father agreed to build a mansion outside the palace a few years ago, so I can leave the palace tomorrow, otherwise I don't know how to wait How long, when I think that I will be relieved tomorrow, it is no big deal to be bored in the palace for the past ten years."
Thinking of the future arrangements, Ji Yueliu evoked a sly smile in a place that Xiaoan couldn't notice.
If you hide him in that place, you don't have to worry about someone coming to your door anymore.
A month later, Fangcao Pavilion opened.
Ji Yueliu and Xiaoan came to the top floor of Jincao Pavilion, leaning on the railing, watching the bustling scene downstairs.
"This should be the first brothel in the Great Zhou Dynasty that has both a brothel and a brothel!" Ji Yueliu said proudly, then turned to look at Xiao'an.
"From now on, you will live on the top floor of Jincao Pavilion and manage the business of Fangcao Pavilion. Your identity will be the number one name in Jincao Pavilion." Ji Yueliu casually assigned Xiaoan's identity with a smile.
Xiaoan wasn't too surprised, after all, since he bought this place secretly, and then brought him here openly and with malicious intentions, he guessed that nothing good would happen, so he just raised his eyebrows lightly, "You want me to pick you up?"
"That's not necessary, of course you don't need to show your face, it's just in name."
"Aren't you afraid that I will run away by myself?" He asked again.
Ji Yueliu laughed loudly when she heard the words, as if she had heard something interesting, she stopped after a long time, raised her head close to his face, and said softly, "Would you?"
Looking at his pale peach eyes that were slightly red and moist because of laughing, Xiaoan denied it in his heart, but didn't answer, just turned his eyes away, and replied ambiguously, "Who knows!"
When Ji Yueliu heard the words, her eyelashes trembled, she seemed a little annoyed, she pursed her thin lips, and said coldly, "If you want to get out, get out quickly, so as not to be an eyesore; if you don't get out now, you won't have a chance to regret it later."
After speaking, he turned his head and left.
When Xiaoan turned her head, she only saw his back.
This was their test of each other, and the result...it's not clear.
In the first month of Fangcao Pavilion's opening, Ji Yueliu uncharacteristically never took a single step out of the second prince's mansion, let alone went to see Xiaoan.
This is the first time in ten years that she has been separated from him for such a long time.
Of course, people came to report Xiaoan's situation to him every day.
Ji Yueliu specially instructed his servants: If Xiao An is here, come and report his situation; if he is gone one day, then there is no need to come.
For a whole month, that servant came over every day.
And this month, some rumors spread in the imperial capital.
In the newly opened Fangcao Pavilion, the head of Jincao Pavilion, Xiao An, never shows up. Although he bears the name of the head, he never receives customers and lives in seclusion, so no one knows his appearance. The ones who are charming to the bone, the ones who say they are cold and aloof... There are all kinds of rumors, the only thing in common is that everyone agrees that the headliner is the person behind the scenes of Fangcao Pavilion.
Of course, at the beginning, some people speculated that the top card was the boss.
But there is no boss who would name himself as the number one, but he has become the number one and still doesn't pick up customers!Instead of doing this, it is better to set up another top card from the beginning, which will make it easier to make money.
In addition, the nanny in the pavilion soon confirmed that the boss was someone else.
Then came the rumors.
What is the boss who met the top card for the first time and fell in love at first sight, so he is forbidden to pick up customers; there is also the top card who is arrogant and does not want to be supported by the boss, so he can only give a name; or the top card made a mistake and was sent here by the boss, but he does not want outsiders to touch him , so she put him on the shelf... Wait, there are various versions of the story of the love story of broken sleeves.
The literati who wrote novels in the bookstore also made a lot of money because of this.
Of course Ji Yueliu knew about these things.
After finally enduring it for a month, finally on the first day of the second month, Ji Yueliu came to Fangcao Pavilion for the second time.
Ji Yueliu rushed to the top floor of Jincao Pavilion impatiently, and was about to open the door when she suddenly stopped, panting for breath, and then pretended to be calm and pushed the door in.
As a result, as soon as he stepped into the room, he saw someone looking at him with interest.
Only then did Ji Yueliu recall that the other party's martial arts were superb. I'm afraid the other party would have known it just as soon as he climbed up to this floor, and he had deliberately calmed down outside the door just now, pretending to be calm, as stupid as he could be, and instantly His face flushed, and he said furiously, "What are you looking at? What is there to see? I came here today, but I want to ask you why you want people to spread such rumors...!"
Before he could finish his question, he was hugged into a familiar embrace.
"I miss you." The slightly trembling ending in the flat voice revealed his restless mood.
"Hey, I haven't finished my words..." Ji Yueliu tried to push him away with some awkwardness.
Xiaoan didn't hold him tightly either. He loosened his arms and let him go, "You said back then that I belong to you, my life is yours, and everything about me is yours. Don't you want to Admit it?"
Ji Yueliu choked, unable to utter a word of reproach, so she could only look away and said in a muffled voice, "This is the first time I've heard you say so many things at once!"
"It should have been influenced by you in the past ten years."
Ji Yueliu snorted coldly and glared at him.
Seeing his cute appearance, Xiao An moved freely, bowed her head and kissed his lips lightly.
Ji Yueliu was stunned for a moment, then boldly grabbed his skirt, and arrogantly said, "Kiss if you want to, don't be careful!" After speaking, she boldly kissed him.
Xiaoan saw his fiery red earlobes and trembling eyelashes, felt his jerky and immature kissing skills, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he took the initiative to take the leading position.
This kiss was the first time for both of them, but only Ji Yueliu was breathless and dizzy after being kissed. When he realized it, he was furious and pushed him down on the soft couch in the room, viciously Said, "tell me clearly, who exactly did you touch, I killed her!"
He has been by his side for ten years, so he naturally knows that he has no women, and now that he is so good at kissing, even though he knows it was before they met, he still feels very uncomfortable.
Xiaoan smiled and said, "What are you thinking! When I was a killer, I never touched anyone. I don't know when I would be in danger of my life. How could I let myself fall into such madness and confusion? What about chaos?"
Ji Yueliu asked suspiciously, "Really?"
Xiaoan sat up halfway, and hugged him, "What did I lie to you for?"
"Then why did you..."
"Of course it's because I've seen it a lot, and I've learned it without a teacher. Besides, I don't know how many times I've done it just in my dreams these years. How could I be unfamiliar?"
When Ji Yueliu heard this, she smiled wickedly, and said teasingly, "He looks like an indifferent person, but in fact it's the opposite... Hey, you didn't miss me ten years ago, did you?"
"That's not true. At first, you were just a smart and arrogant brat in my eyes."
"So when did you start?"
Xiaoan smiled mysteriously and leaned into his ear
In the ninth year of Emperor Wu, he went to the study
The learned old lady Fu's old voice spoke intermittently and clearly about the way of being a king.
"Teacher~" A lazy voice suddenly interrupted his words.
The old matriarch quickly put down the book, and said respectfully, "What do you want to order, Second Highness?"
"The third brother's outstanding talent has been rumored for a year. I think that within three years, the father will definitely make him the crown prince, and then I will have nothing to do. Taifu, you will not give me any troubles in the future." , talk about the way of being a king!" Ji Yueliu blinked her beautiful eyes and said with an evil smile.
The old matriarch was unmoved, and was upright, "The extra courses outside the regular class are ordered by the emperor. Without the emperor's permission, the veterans cannot change it without authorization; besides, it is really not for me and other ministers to discuss the matter of appointing the crown prince." Yes, Your Highness, please speak carefully."
"Tsk tsk, it's really boring." Ji Yueliu curled her lips, bored.
"The old minister sees that His Highness is also tired. Let's rest earlier today, and please pay attention to your review after class." The Taifu just bowed his head and said a word, and Ji Yueliu had already run out of the hall without turning his head. I went back and left.
The old matriarch shook his head with a sigh, packed up the books, got up and left the upper study room, and went straight to the imperial study room.
Imperial study room
"Why did Tai Tuo end get out of class so early today? Did my second boy make Tai Tuo angry again?" Emperor Wu sat behind the table and scolded with a smile.
"Where, the second highness seems to be reckless, but in fact, his intelligence is transparent, and his talent is not inferior to the third highness, but overall, compared with the crown prince, the second highness is more suitable as an auxiliary minister." The Tai Tuo said respectfully.
"Oh? In the past, I never heard the Taifu praise him. What happened today? Did he say something?" Emperor Wu looked at this old and reliable old courtier with interest.
"To tell you the truth, I was in the study just now..." The Taifu faithfully relayed what he said just now to the emperor.
"Hahaha~ that brat!" Emperor Wu laughed and scolded.
After a long while, the laughter faded away, Emperor Wu let the Tai Tuo back down, and said with emotion to Eunuch Hai beside him, "The second child is also a thorough Ji family, so it seems that if there are no changes in three years, I am afraid that the third child will really be registered. gone."
"The sage is wise, and the princes are naturally excellent. No matter who they are, they must be able to carry the foundation of the Great Zhou." Eunuch Hai comforted.
"You know, I have never worried about their abilities. The only thing I worry about is their character as Ji's family members. The second child is no longer a person who can be a lonely monarch in the palace with peace of mind. Now I only hope that the third child can mature Some, content with identity and responsibility."
Eunuch Hai was silent.
After leaving the upper study room, Ji Yueliu avoided the guards and palace people all the way, wandering among the various palaces.
"Hey, have you heard? In the past few days, the Leng Palace seems to be haunted by ghosts!" Seeing that there was no one around, a maid said mysteriously in a low voice.
"How could it be?" Another court lady opened her eyes wide and almost cried out.
"Why not? In the past few days, people have often passed by there, or saw black shadows, or heard gunshots. The guards even went in to check, but there was no one at all."
"That's not scary!"
"No, you know, there must be some unjust souls of concubines who died in the past in Lenggong, who may be waiting for an opportunity to take revenge!"
"Scary! In the past few days, I have never said anything near that side, even if I took a detour."
"Okay, someone will come later, let's go."
As soon as the two maids left, Ji Yueliu came out from the bushes, with a thoughtful expression on her face and bright eyes, "Zhengchou has nothing to do, so I won't be bored now!"
Ji Yueliu walked towards the cold palace unhurriedly.
The location of Lenggong is originally a cold place, plus few people come, even in the daytime, especially, the harem of Ji's royal family is much more peaceful than other dynasties, so it will be a few days if it is deserted. Ten years later, it seems more dilapidated.
Ji Yueliu's small body shuttled between the grass and the corridors of the palace wall, quite familiar with the road.
That's right, it's a familiarity with the road!
You know, sometimes in order to hide, he often comes here, and of course he also knows that this place is just desolate and gloomy, not as scary as they said.
"Huh?!" When he passed a hidden corner, he suddenly stopped, squatted down, and carefully looked at the pool of strange marks.
There is a little dark red in the black, and it looks like it has only been two or three days.
The beach stretched in a certain direction, and a few drops of similar traces appeared every certain distance.
Ji Yueliu covered those traces with soil as he walked, until he came to the door of a side hall.
He swayed outside the door twice.
The door lock is intact, but one window has been opened by someone, and it has not been closed tightly.
He pretended to be old-fashioned and touched his chin.
From the looks of it, he was seriously injured!
"Come out, someone!" Ji Yueliu called out into the air.
A man in black appeared, "What orders does Your Highness have?"
"Open the door for my prince, so there will be less noise." He walked a few steps away and pointed to the door.
"Yes." The dark guard responded, walked to the door, and fiddled with the door lock, and soon heard a "click", and the door lock opened.
Then he opened the door carefully and bowed to invite him in.
Ji Yueliu looked at the visible dust flying in the air with disgust, and suddenly didn't want to go in.
Less movement, still so much dust, really bad!The dust inside must be heavier, or if someone cleans up the surrounding area, he will go in again?
Ji Yueliu hesitated for a moment in conflict, and finally gritted his teeth and walked in.
Of course, the hidden guard sensed that there were people in the room, and he felt that it was still very dangerous, so he didn't back down and followed in together.
Ji Yueliu was not wrong, the dust smell in the house was indeed very strong, but even stronger than that was the strong smell of blood.
This side hall is not very big, there is a set of tables and chairs inside, and the inner room is separated by a screen to the right.
Apparently, that person was in the inner room.
Ji Yueliu didn't intend to spend another half a minute in this foul-smelling room, so she walked quickly behind the screen, and just as she was about to go around the screen, a cold light flashed in front of her eyes.
"Be careful, Your Highness!"
Ji Yueliu felt herself being jerked, and a strand of hair on her temples broke when her ears got cold.
He didn't react for a while, and was stunned.
The hidden guard thought he was frightened and asked him if he was injured.
Only then did Ji Yueliu come back to her senses, and calmly waved her hand.
The dark guard saw that his expression was calm, not like the person who was almost injured just now, so he was a little relieved.
Ji Yueliu turned her head and saw the long sword nailed to the window frame.
The hilt is very ordinary, especially the blade of the sword.
The blade is not wide, just normal size, but both sides of the blade are patterned with snowflakes.
"Give me that sword."
The dark guard pulled out the sword and gave him both hands.
Ji Yueliu held the hilt of the sword and shook it under the light, the snow patterns on the blade flickered, just like the wind blowing snow under the sun in winter, crystal clear and beautiful.
"Snow Ren?" He suddenly remembered the news from Jianghu that he had heard when he sneaked out of the palace to play a few days ago.
Such a sword can only belong to one person.
He stepped decisively around the screen.
The hidden guard didn't notice for a while, and was about to pull him back, but found that there was no danger, so he hurriedly followed.
And Ji Yueliu was already standing in front of the couch in the inner room.
A young man with bruises all over his face, whose face could not be seen clearly, was leaning against the bed, breathing weakly, already unconscious.
It seems that when he noticed someone coming in just now, he was ready to strike with all his strength, but who knew that the person who came was not repelled, so he fainted from exhaustion.
"Let me just say, what kind of ghost is there? It's clearly a wounded beast!" Ji Yueliu smiled lightly.
He stretched out his hand and pinched the man's chin, teasingly said, "It looks good, but it's too dirty!"
The dark guard watched his teasing movements, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Ji Yueliu seemed to have noticed something, and glanced at him, and the dark guard quickly lowered his head.
"Take him back to Liuyue Palace, temporarily place him in the side hall, let him wash it up, and ask the little eunuch to find an imperial doctor, so as not to alarm too many people."
"Yes."
The dark guard stepped forward to support the man, and went back to Liuyue Palace first, followed by Ji Yueliu, who rushed back.
He really couldn't stand the dirty environment anymore, and when he got back to his palace, he immediately asked someone to prepare hot water and wash it thoroughly.
When he finished cleaning, changed into new clothes, and went to the side hall, the imperial physician had already arrived.
"Second Highness."
Ji Yueliu waved her sleeves to avoid the ceremony, and asked, "How is he?"
"Returning to Your Highness, this young master has more than thirty sword wounds and sword wounds all over his body. Some of them are new wounds that have not healed. Not only did he lose a lot of blood, but he also festered due to improper handling; It was a serious internal injury, but fortunately he had strong internal strength and a strong body, so he didn't hurt the root. Later, the old minister would goug out the festering part, apply medicine, and combine it with decoction, and he would be able to fully recover after three months of bed rest."
"Okay, let's do it!" After finishing speaking, Ji Yueliu walked out without looking back.
He was not afraid of seeing such a bloody scene, but there was no need to stain his eyes for a person who was neither relative nor relative.
An hour later, the imperial physician wrote a prescription and left.
The palace people all withdrew.
Ji Yueliu sat on the edge of the bed and looked at him carefully again.
It looks like it hasn't reached the crown yet, with slender and straight eyebrows like a sword, a high nose, and thin lips. It's really good, but I don't know what the eyes look like, and the expression is too cold, it doesn't look too pleasing happiness.
Well!I've wanted to get a follower for a long time, the number one killer in the world should be of some use!
Ji Yueliu thought so.
After a day and night, he woke up.
When Ji Yueliu heard the sound, she saw the palace people standing around in the outer room of the side hall.
"What are you doing here? Is there nothing else to do!" Although the voice was a little childish, it couldn't be more terrifying to the people in the palace.
The palace people pleaded guilty and left in a hurry.
When Ji Yueliu walked into the inner room, she saw that the man was full of vigilance and vigilance, and the cold air was overwhelming.
A hidden guard suddenly appeared in front of Ji Yueliu, "Be careful, Your Highness!"
"It's okay, you can step back." Ji Yueliu calmly walked around him and walked in front of the man.
The big light-colored eyes looked at the pair of slightly long and narrow phoenix eyes without blinking.
It was as dark as ink, and there was no wave in the ancient well, as if nothing in this world could catch his eyes, including human life.
Those were indeed killer eyes.
Ji Yueliu nodded in satisfaction, "Well, it didn't disappoint me. Those eyes look pretty good too, although they're not as pretty as mine!"
Even after hearing these words, the man's expression remained unchanged.
"Then, let's talk about the business!" Ji Yueliu was not afraid of the coldness on his body, and sat down beside him casually, "I am the second prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Ji Yueliu. From today on, you will be Xiao'an, As for your original identity, I don't care about it. After all, I saved you, and everything about you belongs to me, and I have the final say, including your life. I just need a follower now, and you will follow me in the future. By my side, don't leave without my order."
"..." The man stared at this beautiful, lovely and noble boy, wondering what he was thinking.
"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent." Ji Yueliu blinked, then changed the topic suddenly, "Of course, even if you don't agree, I won't agree, and you can't leave here."
The man didn't care, but felt that this little boy was really not simple.
But, yes, children who grew up in the palace would never be easy!
In silence, he relaxed his body and lay back, closing his eyes slightly.
Since there is no danger, let's stay here for a while, with his martial arts, if he wants to leave in the future, who can trap him!
"Oh, by the way, your sword looks quite beautiful to me, so I won't return it to you in the future. As compensation, I will give you another sword. After all, it is the number one servant by my side. You can’t even have a handy weapon.”
He opened his eyes and turned his head to the side, looked at him indifferently, then turned around and closed his eyes.
"Fushun!" Ji Yueliu got up and walked to the side, sitting on the low couch against the wall in the inner room, calling.
"The servant is here." A handsome young eunuch bowed and bowed his head in response.
"Go and get those scripts, the prince won't be leaving the palace for a few days."
"Yes."
Ji Yueliu lazily rested her elbows on the table, under her face, looked at the person on the bed with her light brown peach blossom eyes, and did not move.
Xiao An naturally noticed his gaze.
It's nothing more than being looked at a few times, but he can't die, Xiaoan is still the same.
Naturally, Emperor Wu had to be notified of this matter.
When Emperor Wu heard about this, he didn't care, "He's just a Jianghu man, as long as he doesn't hurt him, he can arrange it however he wants."
Therefore, Xue Ren, the number one killer who was once famous in the world, stayed in the palace as the servant of the second prince of the current dynasty.
For more than a month after that, Ji Yueliu spent most of her time in the side hall of Liuyue Palace, except for attending classes in the study room and paying respects to her father and concubine mother.
Fortunately, there are enough words and books collected on weekdays, so it is not boring.
However, she usually sneaked out of the palace at least once a week, but also stopped because of his relationship.
Of course, Ji Yueliu was almost at her limit.
After all, since he was sensible, he has rarely stayed in the palace for so long.
So, when Xiaoan was able to get out of bed for the first time in more than a month without help, Ji Yueliu almost jumped up happily.
But used to seeing him look like a little grown-up, Xiaoan raised his eyebrows rare at his happy childish look.
After all, he was just a child.
"Hey, did you raise your eyebrows just now?" Ji Yueliu suddenly grabbed his clothes, pulled him down, leaned in front of him, and said solemnly.
Xiaoan raised his eyebrows again: so what?
Ji Yueliu understood his meaning from his eyes, "What? So you are not facial paralyzed!" He said happily, "However, I have never heard that the number one killer is dumb. Tell me something. I listen."
Xiaoan directly looked away, ignoring it.
Ji Yueliu's light-colored eyes flickered, "Tsk tsk, it's not embarrassing for such a big man to act like a child!" His words were disgusting.
Hearing this, Xiao An turned his gaze back, but Ji Yueliu had already let go of his clothes and walked out on his own.
After walking a few steps, he suddenly turned around and said coldly, "Can't you walk? What are you doing there, waiting for my prince to help you?"
Xiaoan looked at his small back and shook her head silently.
When you can't get what you want like this, you are a child if you deliberately mock people!
Inexplicably, Xiaoan felt that this smart and unbelievably beautiful child was very cute.
As if understanding that he was just recovering from a serious illness, Ji Yueliu didn't go too far, but just walked around the Liuyue Palace.
"Since your illness is cured, from tomorrow on, you will follow me wherever I go. When I go out tomorrow morning, I want to see you, you hear me?"
Ji Yueliu didn't care whether he answered or not, and then said, "His illness is cured, he can no longer live in this side hall, Fushun, let someone clean up this place, and he will live in the palace master Liuyue from now on." in the ear chamber of the temple."
"Yes."
The ear room of the main hall of Liuyue Palace was specially reserved for the servants who kept watch at night, but Ji Yueliu never liked anyone sleeping so close to him, so it was always empty.
Until now, Xiaoan has lived in it.
From that day on, everyone in the palace knew that the second prince, Ji Yueliu, had recruited a new servant, whose status was even higher than that of the personal eunuch Fushun.
Everyone else thinks that Xiao An is a servant, but Fushun grew up watching Ji Yueliu, so he naturally knows that the Second Prince not only regards Xiao An as a follower, but let him say that the Second Prince regards Xiao An as a servant. Whoever it was, he couldn't tell why.
After all, the second prince really didn't treat Xiaoan very well.
"I want to drink water." The immature voice dictated.
Xiaoan poured him a glass of water.
"It's too cold."
Xiaoan changed a cup.
"too hot."
Xiaoan poured some cold water.
"I don't want to drink anymore."
Xiaoan put the water back on the table.
"That little bird looks interesting to me, go and catch it for me."
Xiaoan's figure flashed, disappeared for a moment, and when he landed back beside him, he held a confused little bird in his hand.
"I don't like this little bird anymore, show me a sword dance." Ji Yueliu continued without looking at the bird in his hand.
Xiaoan raised his hand, and the bird flew away.
Because there was no sword yet, Xiaoan broke off a branch and danced on the spot.
Ji Yueliu read it once, but lost interest.
……
Then there are endless orders, demands and difficulties.
Xiaoan followed his request, said what to do, and completed everything extremely well, but he didn't say a word, and he didn't even change his expression.
Ji Yueliu's idea of changing his expression naturally failed.
After making things difficult for a few days, Ji Yueliu lost interest. Of course, he won't give up so easily. It's just that the future will be long. If you want him to change his expression or say something, there will always be a chance. After all, he can't live forever. Don't speak, keep a blank face for the rest of your life.
Accustomed to living a wandering life, it's rare to be stable. Now, looking at this noble boy, it's interesting, so Xiaoan decided to stay.
Watching him absent-mindedly attend lectures, recite the Four Books and Five Classics when he is happy, and doze off when he is unhappy; watch him tease court ladies, tease eunuchs, and wander around the palace; ...
Intentionally or not, keeping his eyes on him made Xiaoan's boring life a lot more fun.
However, this calm did not last long.
Although Xiao An's sword was put away by Ji Yueliu and replaced with another sword, someone had seen his appearance and knew his appearance after all.
If he doesn't leave the palace, it's no big deal to stay in the palace. After the turmoil is over, naturally no one from the Jianghu will look for him.
However, Ji Yueliu forgot this, and before the turmoil passed, she couldn't bear the loneliness and took Xiaoan to sneak out of the palace to play.
The Jianghu people who flocked to the Imperial Capital would naturally notice him.
When Ji Yueliu took Xiaoan out of the palace for the fourth time, they were blocked in an alley.
Ji Yueliu looked at the group of people surrounding them with wide eyes, not seeing a trace of tension and uneasiness, and sighed: "It turns out that people in the Jianghu all look like this, I didn't expect that I picked a good one." Yes," said and glanced at Xiaoan beside him in admiration.
"Xue Ren, I didn't expect such a serious injury to kill you. Today we are determined not to let you leave alive again. Hurry up and die!"
"Hey! You fools, haven't you heard that it is up to the owner to beat a dog? I saved his life, and he must live if I let him live. If you want him to die, you have to ask Ask me if I agree or not!" Ji Yueliu's voice was immature, and at first he didn't seem to be able to attract their attention, but the unflappable aura in his tone really made them dare not underestimate him, after all, his identity was there.
A middle-aged man who seemed to be more measured stepped forward, "We have no intention of offending His Highness the Second Prince, but the one next to His Highness is the number one killer of the Black Gate, Xue Ren, who killed many of our brothers in the past, due to the strength of the Black Gate , we can’t touch him; now that he has betrayed the Black Gate and has no one to protect him, we will naturally seek revenge on him. Please also give us face, Your Highness, and hand him over to us.”
"Tch~" Ji Yueliu sneered disdainfully, "What are your identities, you dare to ask me for face, you take yourself too seriously!" After finishing speaking, she rolled her eyes and didn't even want to look at it again. They glance.
"Second Highness, it is only right and proper to kill people to pay for their lives. Does Your Highness want to cover up the murderer and cause the entire martial arts crusade?" Seeing his disapproval, the middle-aged man suppressed his annoyance, seemingly respectful, but actually moved out of the entire martial arts world, The intention was to put pressure on him. After all, in his eyes, no matter how smart Ji Yueliu was, he was still just a child, and he would never dare to be an enemy of the entire martial arts world.
"Presumptuous!" Ji Yueliu shouted coldly, "Who gave you the courage to threaten the second prince of the dynasty? You are just a bunch of mobs who still want to provoke the royal family of the dynasty? Besides, what qualifications do you have to represent the entire martial arts world to me? Putting pressure on you, even if you really want to kill someone, you should hand it over to the yamen and follow the rules, who gave you the power to despise the court and seek revenge in private!"
His high-sounding words made the other party unable to say a word for a long time, and he could only hold back his breath and bluff, "You... don't toast or eat fine wine, you are just two people, we are a group of people, no matter what , we will not let him leave here safely, even if something really happens to you today, the emperor can't kill all the people in the Jianghu for you."
"Heh~ Joke, who said there are only two of us!" Ji Yueliu just finished speaking, and more than 20 hidden guards appeared in the alley, surrounding Ji Yueliu and Xiao'an in the middle, protecting them.
"Now, even if there is a real conflict, I can say that you guys attacked me first, and I killed you out of self-protection. Even if I sue my father, do you think my father believes you or not?" Me?" Ji Yueliu mocked.
They had no choice but to give up on what they had planned in the first place. Their goal was to seek revenge from Xue Ren, but if they had an enmity with the royal family because of this, the loss would not be worth the gain.
And it's fine if there are only two people, after all, they are outnumbered, but now that the royal guards are here, if they really want to fight head-on, they won't get any benefit.
"Your Highness, Second Prince, we are reckless in today's matter, please don't blame your Highness! Let me leave now." After finishing speaking, the middle-aged man bowed his hands respectfully and said goodbye.
"Brother, don't you want to take revenge?" The young man beside him asked unwillingly.
"At least I know where he is hiding today. As long as he leaves the palace in the future, we will always have a chance to take revenge. We have waited for so long, and it will not be a few days away. Don't worry, he will not hide in the palace forever, or Always by the side of the Second Prince."
The young man turned his head and glared at Xue Ren full of resentment, and left with the crowd reluctantly.
The crisis was resolved, and the dark guards disappeared as before.
"I thought you wouldn't let them go easily."
"Do I look like a person who doesn't know anything and has no sense of proportion? These bullying people, just scare them..." Ji Yueliu said proudly, and suddenly realized who said those words just now Yes, she couldn't help turning her head suddenly, staring blankly at the person who spoke for the first time since seeing him.
Xiao An lowered his head slightly, looking back at him with a calm expression.
Ji Yueliu put away her surprised expression, blinked her eyes, and her lips curled into a sinister arc.
Although he was young, he was very romantic.
Ji Yueliu didn't specifically confirm anything, and reached out to hold his big hand, "Let's go!"
Xiaoan felt the soft and tender touch on his hands, which was a bit stiff and unaccustomed to him, but seeing the small figure in front of him, his body couldn't help relaxing, and unknown ripples appeared in his heart, spreading round and round...
That night, when they wandered outside to the gate, they looked at all the places in the capital that they had seen and hadn't seen, but no matter where they went, Ji Yueliu never let go of his hand.
For the next ten years, Ji Yueliu never stepped out of the palace gate.
In the 19th year of Emperor Wudi, Ji Yueliu had just turned 15 years old.
Liu Yue Dian
On the low couch by the window, a tall, cool and handsome man was sitting upright. Compared with ten years ago, his expressionless face had hardly changed, and he still ignored everything.
On his thighs, the black hair is messy, and there is a faintly romantic face, the baby fat has faded away, the face is thin, the eyebrows are long and narrow, male and female are indistinguishable, almost exactly the same as his mother and concubine when she was young; the pair of light-colored eyes It was tightly closed, obviously falling asleep for a long time.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew past the window, messing up his loose hair, as if awakened by the gust of wind, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and his misty peach blossom eyes quietly opened.
He blinked, and his eyes became clearer.
"Xiao'an, what time is it?" His voice was hoarse.
Xiaoan lowered his head, raised his hand and gently brushed the hair on his cheeks, "It's half past time." The simple answer, the clear and shallow voice seemed to have no emotion, but after careful identification, it would make people feel a little different emotion.
"Want to get up?"
Ji Yueliu didn't answer, but turned over and rubbed between his waist and abdomen affectionately, as if she really didn't want to wake up.
This is his habitual action when he has been lying in bed all these years.
Because he couldn't go out of the palace, he didn't get up early in the morning, and he had to stay in bed for a long time every day before he woke up reluctantly.
Xiaoan patted him on the back, "It's obvious that you don't want to stay in bed, why do you have to act like this?"
"Because I'm bored." Ji Yueliu suddenly raised her head and stared at him.
"Since you want to leave the palace, go out. I'm not weak enough to need your protection."
"I'm not doing it for you, I'm just afraid of trouble. When I think of having to be wary of this and that every time I leave the palace, I'm not interested in going out." He nestled in Xiao'an's arms and said in a muffled voice.
Xiao An didn't expose his lame lie, a smile flashed across his eyes.
Ji Yueliu got up from him, but did not leave, but leaned on his shoulder, "Fortunately, my father agreed to build a mansion outside the palace a few years ago, so I can leave the palace tomorrow, otherwise I don't know how to wait How long, when I think that I will be relieved tomorrow, it is no big deal to be bored in the palace for the past ten years."
Thinking of the future arrangements, Ji Yueliu evoked a sly smile in a place that Xiaoan couldn't notice.
If you hide him in that place, you don't have to worry about someone coming to your door anymore.
A month later, Fangcao Pavilion opened.
Ji Yueliu and Xiaoan came to the top floor of Jincao Pavilion, leaning on the railing, watching the bustling scene downstairs.
"This should be the first brothel in the Great Zhou Dynasty that has both a brothel and a brothel!" Ji Yueliu said proudly, then turned to look at Xiao'an.
"From now on, you will live on the top floor of Jincao Pavilion and manage the business of Fangcao Pavilion. Your identity will be the number one name in Jincao Pavilion." Ji Yueliu casually assigned Xiaoan's identity with a smile.
Xiaoan wasn't too surprised, after all, since he bought this place secretly, and then brought him here openly and with malicious intentions, he guessed that nothing good would happen, so he just raised his eyebrows lightly, "You want me to pick you up?"
"That's not necessary, of course you don't need to show your face, it's just in name."
"Aren't you afraid that I will run away by myself?" He asked again.
Ji Yueliu laughed loudly when she heard the words, as if she had heard something interesting, she stopped after a long time, raised her head close to his face, and said softly, "Would you?"
Looking at his pale peach eyes that were slightly red and moist because of laughing, Xiaoan denied it in his heart, but didn't answer, just turned his eyes away, and replied ambiguously, "Who knows!"
When Ji Yueliu heard the words, her eyelashes trembled, she seemed a little annoyed, she pursed her thin lips, and said coldly, "If you want to get out, get out quickly, so as not to be an eyesore; if you don't get out now, you won't have a chance to regret it later."
After speaking, he turned his head and left.
When Xiaoan turned her head, she only saw his back.
This was their test of each other, and the result...it's not clear.
In the first month of Fangcao Pavilion's opening, Ji Yueliu uncharacteristically never took a single step out of the second prince's mansion, let alone went to see Xiaoan.
This is the first time in ten years that she has been separated from him for such a long time.
Of course, people came to report Xiaoan's situation to him every day.
Ji Yueliu specially instructed his servants: If Xiao An is here, come and report his situation; if he is gone one day, then there is no need to come.
For a whole month, that servant came over every day.
And this month, some rumors spread in the imperial capital.
In the newly opened Fangcao Pavilion, the head of Jincao Pavilion, Xiao An, never shows up. Although he bears the name of the head, he never receives customers and lives in seclusion, so no one knows his appearance. The ones who are charming to the bone, the ones who say they are cold and aloof... There are all kinds of rumors, the only thing in common is that everyone agrees that the headliner is the person behind the scenes of Fangcao Pavilion.
Of course, at the beginning, some people speculated that the top card was the boss.
But there is no boss who would name himself as the number one, but he has become the number one and still doesn't pick up customers!Instead of doing this, it is better to set up another top card from the beginning, which will make it easier to make money.
In addition, the nanny in the pavilion soon confirmed that the boss was someone else.
Then came the rumors.
What is the boss who met the top card for the first time and fell in love at first sight, so he is forbidden to pick up customers; there is also the top card who is arrogant and does not want to be supported by the boss, so he can only give a name; or the top card made a mistake and was sent here by the boss, but he does not want outsiders to touch him , so she put him on the shelf... Wait, there are various versions of the story of the love story of broken sleeves.
The literati who wrote novels in the bookstore also made a lot of money because of this.
Of course Ji Yueliu knew about these things.
After finally enduring it for a month, finally on the first day of the second month, Ji Yueliu came to Fangcao Pavilion for the second time.
Ji Yueliu rushed to the top floor of Jincao Pavilion impatiently, and was about to open the door when she suddenly stopped, panting for breath, and then pretended to be calm and pushed the door in.
As a result, as soon as he stepped into the room, he saw someone looking at him with interest.
Only then did Ji Yueliu recall that the other party's martial arts were superb. I'm afraid the other party would have known it just as soon as he climbed up to this floor, and he had deliberately calmed down outside the door just now, pretending to be calm, as stupid as he could be, and instantly His face flushed, and he said furiously, "What are you looking at? What is there to see? I came here today, but I want to ask you why you want people to spread such rumors...!"
Before he could finish his question, he was hugged into a familiar embrace.
"I miss you." The slightly trembling ending in the flat voice revealed his restless mood.
"Hey, I haven't finished my words..." Ji Yueliu tried to push him away with some awkwardness.
Xiaoan didn't hold him tightly either. He loosened his arms and let him go, "You said back then that I belong to you, my life is yours, and everything about me is yours. Don't you want to Admit it?"
Ji Yueliu choked, unable to utter a word of reproach, so she could only look away and said in a muffled voice, "This is the first time I've heard you say so many things at once!"
"It should have been influenced by you in the past ten years."
Ji Yueliu snorted coldly and glared at him.
Seeing his cute appearance, Xiao An moved freely, bowed her head and kissed his lips lightly.
Ji Yueliu was stunned for a moment, then boldly grabbed his skirt, and arrogantly said, "Kiss if you want to, don't be careful!" After speaking, she boldly kissed him.
Xiaoan saw his fiery red earlobes and trembling eyelashes, felt his jerky and immature kissing skills, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he took the initiative to take the leading position.
This kiss was the first time for both of them, but only Ji Yueliu was breathless and dizzy after being kissed. When he realized it, he was furious and pushed him down on the soft couch in the room, viciously Said, "tell me clearly, who exactly did you touch, I killed her!"
He has been by his side for ten years, so he naturally knows that he has no women, and now that he is so good at kissing, even though he knows it was before they met, he still feels very uncomfortable.
Xiaoan smiled and said, "What are you thinking! When I was a killer, I never touched anyone. I don't know when I would be in danger of my life. How could I let myself fall into such madness and confusion? What about chaos?"
Ji Yueliu asked suspiciously, "Really?"
Xiaoan sat up halfway, and hugged him, "What did I lie to you for?"
"Then why did you..."
"Of course it's because I've seen it a lot, and I've learned it without a teacher. Besides, I don't know how many times I've done it just in my dreams these years. How could I be unfamiliar?"
When Ji Yueliu heard this, she smiled wickedly, and said teasingly, "He looks like an indifferent person, but in fact it's the opposite... Hey, you didn't miss me ten years ago, did you?"
"That's not true. At first, you were just a smart and arrogant brat in my eyes."
"So when did you start?"
Xiaoan smiled mysteriously and leaned into his ear
