"Ji Xiao," the Heavenly Emperor said condescendingly with half-opened and half-closed eyes, "Are you guilty?"

Ji Xiao raised his eyes to look at the face of the Emperor of Heaven, with a smile that was not a smile.

The immortals of the two paths also look at Ji Xiao.

Either nervous or contemptuous.

The voice of the Emperor of Heaven was still solemn: "Why don't you kneel?"

"Neglect of duty is an offense," Ji Xiao asked unhurriedly, "Dare to ask the emperor, what is Ji Xiao's crime?"

"Since you have entered the fairy world, you have to abandon the past, and you will no longer be trapped by emotions, anger, anger, and ignorance. You have not broken your roots and are stubborn by nature. You shouldn't be in the fairy class," the Heavenly Emperor said slowly, "Although you were born with a spirit body , Cultivation is twice the result with half the effort, but the mind is not mature, can't be cracked, can't let it go, this is shameless in the fairy world, it is a crime."

Ji Xiao's brows and eyes were frowned, his face was smiling, but there was frost in his eyes.

He leaned slightly and made a bow: "What the emperor said is very true, Ji Xiao has never been able to detect it, and it is still the heart of a mortal."

"But I don't know happiness in the immortal world, so what is suffering in Huangquan? Immortals live forever, but they may not be as happy, angry, sad, and happy as ordinary people."

"Okay," the Heavenly Emperor closed his eyes, half sighing, half annoyed, "Okay..."

Xingjun Yinghuo came out resolutely, and cupped his hands to persuade him: "Please think twice, the emperor, Ji Xiao is just standing there when he ascends, and you are just inexperienced fools in this world, and you have never descended to the world for thousands of years. Why don't you allow him to descend to the mortal world?" After traveling around for a while, let him taste the sufferings of the world, and then he will learn to behave."

The Emperor of Heaven was noncommittal, as if thinking.

Dozens of immortals came out here, all speaking similar rhetoric to Yinghuo.

Seeing that the Emperor of Heaven did not reply for a long time, Shaohao, the second son of the Emperor of Heaven, suddenly appeared out of the crowd, and before he could speak, the Yinghuo Xingjun gave a thump in his heart, and hurriedly spoke to dissuade him: "Young Master!"

"Your Majesty, let me ask you, if this fairy world is really interesting, why did the old Yue Lao take a thousand-year leave to travel around the world? And why did he ask Ji Xiao to fill the vacancy?"

The Emperor of Heaven narrowed his eyes slightly: "Are you questioning the deity?"

"Yes." Only Shaohao continued to speak loudly: "If your lord wants to get rid of his immortal status and bones, then don't keep me either."

"absurd!"

"Eunuch Wei, this little Wang has had a high fever since last night. He has been given this medicine and wiped off his body, but this, I'm afraid..." A small eunuch followed Wei Zhongning, step by step. .

Wei Zhongning gave him a cold look.

The little eunuch immediately fell silent.

Then Wei Zhongning kicked open the door of a small room on the west side of the prison yard. The room was dark and gloomy, and there was a decaying musty smell in the air.

Taking advantage of the weak light, Wei Zhongning stepped to the front of the bed in two or three steps, grabbed Ji Xiao's collar, and slapped him hard.

"This damned little bastard, do you still think you are the young master of the general's mansion?" Wei Zhongning had a grim face, "This is the palace, your life is given to you by the Holy Majesty, without the Holy Majesty's will, how dare you die?"

Seeing that Wei Zhongning was about to slap him down again, the little eunuch next to him was so frightened that he was covered in cold sweat: "Eunuch Wei..."

Today's sage is moody, if he knows that the people he wants to keep are going to be killed by Wei Zhongning's slaps, I'm afraid all of them will end badly.

Fortunately, before the slap fell, Wang Jixiao finally opened his eyes. He was still young, only fifteen years old, and his stature was frail. I can't help touching Yan.

With tears in his half-opened eyes, he looked fragilely at the greasy Wei Zhongning in front of him.

"Eunuch Wei..." He said angrily, "Don't be angry..."

Wei Zhongning was like this, the hair all over his body was smoothed out, so he was not willing to yell at the little beauty in front of him, he let go of his hand for a while, and the little eunuch stepped forward to support Wang Jixiao's back.

"There is a decree from the Holy Spirit," Wei Zhongning raised his hand to shake the floating dust, and said in a thin voice, "I promise you three days to recover from illness, and after three days you will go to work with Concubine Qi—won't you thank the decree soon? Concubine Qi is a It's a good place, no matter how many people are waiting, they can't climb it, and now the most favored person by His Majesty's side is him, His Majesty wants you to go there, because he values ​​you, understand?"

Ji Xiao coughed twice, but her voice was still weak: "Slave, thank you Lord for your kindness."

After Wei Zhongning finished speaking, he turned around, and when he walked to the door, he seemed to think of something again, paused slightly, and said again: "By the way, the Holy One doesn't like your name, are you twenty-eight now?"

"Not yet."

"That's okay. Fifteen of the little eunuchs who have entered the palace in the past ten years have violated the taboo name, and you are No. 16—you will be called Wei Shiliu from now on," he said here, and then After a pause, he lowered his voice and reminded, "If you want to survive, don't mention that last name and that name again."

After Wei Zhongning left, the little eunuch breathed a sigh of relief, went to the table and poured a glass of water, seeing that it was still warm, he handed it to Ji Xiao: "Moisten your throat first, it's not time for dinner yet, Presumably the porridge is not available, so let me decoct the medicine for you first."

Ji Xiao took the teacup, took a sip of the tea that he couldn't drink this time, unhurriedly, the tail of his eyebrows slightly twitched, but his expression remained unchanged, and he thanked him gently.

"You're welcome," the little eunuch scratched his head embarrassingly, "My name is Chu Yu, you can call me by my name if you need anything, I'm in the yard outside."

Ji Xiao nodded, and handed back the untouched tea to Chu Yu: "I'm sorry."

After Chu Yu also left the room, Ji Xiao lifted off the hard quilt, got up staggeringly, and then sat on the side of the tea table, using the bean-like light to see her own eyes reflected in the teacup, blurred , but with a subtle sense of familiarity.

He remembered all the memories of this body, unwillingness, anger and grief.

Ji Xiao turned her head to look at the frail black figure standing in the corner of the room, and smiled creepily: "Don't worry, I will live well for you."

"Thank you for your body. Although it is a bit incomplete, I am very satisfied."

The black shadow stood still for a while, then turned into a few wisps of smoke and disappeared in the darkness.

Ji Xiao stood on the bed without changing his face. This □ mortal fetus was abnormally heavy, and the pain was tormenting him all the time.But he was like a ghost resurrected from the dead, grateful for the hard-earned pain.

This is what it feels like to be... alive, he thought.

a day later.

Ji Xiao cultivated in this room for a day, although he was not well, but his spirit was much better. Not only did he get acquainted with the child named Chu Yu, but he also got a complete set of his family background.

He tossed and turned on the bed for a long time, and found that he couldn't fall asleep again under the iron-like blanket, so he got up and planned to go to the courtyard to chat with Chu Yu to relieve his fatigue.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the door was opened, Chu Yu cautiously greeted a group of people from outside the courtyard.

"I'm impolite, I didn't know that Concubine Qi is here." Chu Yu knelt down and wanted to kneel.

"You don't need to be too polite," Concubine Qi stretched out her hand to help him, and said in a warm voice, "I just happened to pass by here, thinking that His Majesty gave me a young eunuch a few days ago, and I heard that he was still recuperating, so I thought about it." come and see."

Chu Yu subconsciously turned her head to look, and saw a tall man standing at the door of the West House. He was dressed in white, and every part of his body was white. tissue.

"Why did you come out? Beware of cold again," Chu Yu yelled over there, then lowered her eyebrows at Concubine Qi and said, "That's it, the fever has subsided today, and people look better .”

Concubine Qi put her hand on the hand of the eunuch beside her, and walked slowly towards Ji Xiao, his eyes looked up and down Ji Xiao, and the smile on his face became wider: "What's your name?"

"The servant greets the empress." Ji Xiao forced herself to salute Concubine Qi.

It wasn't until his knees fell to the ground that Concubine Qi spoke up to dissuade him: "You are still sick now, so there is no need to be polite."

"Returning to the master, the name of the slave is Wei Shiliu." Ji Xiao got up after thanking her, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "Madam, if the master is willing to see the slave, please pass a word, and the slave will go to the mother to say hello, You don't have to step into this wretched place yourself."

The smile in Concubine Qi's eyes was even stronger: "You are a thoughtful child, raise your head and let me take a look."

Ji Xiao then raised her head, Concubine Qi's face was downplayed, but her heart hurt like a needle prick.

This person was really the same as himself, with a face similar to the portrait the emperor hung in his study... No, he looked even more like himself.

so similar.

"Are you still used to living here? After all, the Prison Court is no better than the General's Mansion. If there is anything you need, just tell the manager here, and he will take care of it for you," Concubine Qi caressed affectionately. Scratching his half-length nails on his cheeks made Ji Xiao feel painful. He sighed and said softly, "Poor child..."

"Thank you for your compassion." Ji Xiao was still neither humble nor overbearing, "The servant lives here very well, and there is no need to buy anything."

"That's good." Concubine Qi looked behind him and asked, "Is this the room you live in? Let me take a look."

Ji Xiao took two steps back, Concubine Qi stepped forward to probe inside, then unconsciously raised her sleeves to cover her mouth and nose, the room seemed to have a musty smell that had been stagnant for years, and there was a faint fragrance of corruption, which was unpleasant. At the same time, it also makes people sweat a little down the spine.

He didn't want to take a few more steps, so he retreated half a step calmly, patted Ji Xiao's shoulder reluctantly, and smiled slightly: "You are so healthy and will be raised. It’s not too late to go to the Palace in a few days.”

Ji Xiao saluted and thanked him.

Concubine Qi left after speaking.

Chu Yu went to close the courtyard door in person, and then stepped into Ji Xiao's room, before she dared to speak in a low voice: "I only heard from the palace people that this Concubine Qi is a man, but I have never seen it with my own eyes. , that face is indeed better than those girls, but his behavior is so feminine, but I don't know why His Majesty thinks he is new?"

"You are very courageous. You didn't even dare to lift your head when Concubine Qi was there. Now that she is gone, you dare to talk about the right and wrong of the Holy Majesty." Ji Xiao finished teasing him, feeling a little tired, and sat at the table wooden chair to sit down.

Chu Yu smiled and said: "No matter how powerful the nobles are, their ears didn't grow into the slaves' rooms. This palace is very stuffy. If you don't let me make up a few sentences, I will die."

When he said this, he suddenly changed the topic, staring at Ji Xiao's face and looking again: "Hey, why do I think you look very similar to that Concubine Qi, especially the eyes and mouth."

"Like it?" Ji Xiao's eyes drifted empty into the void in front of him.

"It's really like that," Chu Yu half-jokingly said, "But I see that you look better than that Concubine Qi, maybe the Holy Majesty wants to take a fancy to you in the future, and I will give you a... Well, Concubine Wei should be the best. "
