The tyrant has a white moonlight

That night.

It snowed all day during the day, but it stopped falling at night.But it was even colder in the palace, the pear blossoms in the side hall were covered with frost, and the cold wind knocked down the white petals all over the ground.

It is not known that the earth dragon was burned in the hall, not only was it not cold, but it was almost as warm as early summer.

Lu Chao tossed and turned on the dragon couch. When he closed his eyes, it was Wang Jixiao standing in front of the bed with sharp scissors last night. His cold eyes; Yes, the unfeeling without remembrance.

Just thinking about it makes me feel heartbroken.

In his whole life, it seems that he has never been "required by you" by anyone, and he has never been the only one. Even if he sits on this supreme dragon chair in the world, he is still alone.

Lu Chao pushed the door open, and the cold wind came in. He didn't feel cold, he didn't even put on his outer robe, and walked towards the study against the cold wind.

When the little eunuch who was watching at night saw it, he immediately went to find a fox fur, and followed closely to put it on for the emperor.

The candles in the study were still on, and two unidentified red candles were lit. Seeing Lu Chao moving away, the palace servants immediately leaned in and lit the candles in the room. After a while, the study was lit up.

"Your Majesty, do you want your servants to prepare some warming ginger tea?"

Lu Chao waved his hand lightly: "No, let's all back down."

The palace people retreated immediately, leaving only one old eunuch standing by Lu Chao's side like a straight piece of dead wood.

Lu Chao looked at the painting on the wall. After so many years, the person in the painting still stood quietly in the painting, lowering his eyes slightly, ignoring him and the world indifferently.

He involuntarily raised his hand to touch the gauze wrapped around his neck, and before he knew it, he suddenly felt something was different.

"Ling'an," he said, "Bring the mirror."

The old eunuch leaned over and backed away.

After a while, he brought a square mirror. This square mirror is not like an ordinary bronze mirror, which can reflect the appearance of a person, but the whole body is pitch black, and it cannot refract even a little bit of light.

The old eunuch bit his index finger and drew a blood-red symbol on the mirror.

In a short while, the picture in the dark prison was reflected in the dark mirror.

There is no light source in the dark prison, but it is strange that in such a dark environment, there is a faint red light floating around Ji Xiao's body, which can barely illuminate his outline.

Thinking it was too cold in the dark cell, he wrapped his unlined clothes tightly and huddled in a corner, his eyelashes seemed to have a thin layer of frost, and he looked fragile and pitiful.

"Ling'an..." Lu Chao closed his eyes.

The old eunuch bowed his head with the mirror in his arms, waiting for Lu Chao's instructions.

"Send someone to bring him some quilts, don't let him freeze to death," Lu Chao said, "As for the food, we will send it every two days, and let him have a hard time so that he can remember."

"Yes," the old eunuch leaned forward and took a step back, halfway through the movement, but suddenly stopped, "Ji Xiao's intention to assassinate His Majesty is a capital crime, why does His Majesty not want his life?"

Lu Chao sneered: "It's just a lowly life of a concubine without roots, it's not worth a lot of money, I don't want it. Besides, his face is born like that, it's his fate, it's called the widow If you don’t want to give up, just let him live.”

The old eunuch paused for a moment, then said again: "Your Majesty is not calm, if it was Concubine Qi who assassinated last night, Your Majesty will definitely implicate him in the nine clans."

"You're presumptuous." Lu Chao's face sank, he picked up an inkstone from the table and smashed it at his feet, "it's not your turn to say these words to the widow."

The old eunuch did not evade, and asked under coercion: "Your Majesty, if the Immortal Lord does not come back from now on, what will you do?"

Lu Chao sullenly said, "He will come back."

Although the words came out of my mouth, the voice was almost inaudible.

"Your Majesty should be very clear-headed. If you can't fool yourself with some words, then of course you won't be able to convince others," the old eunuch sighed. "This time being obsessed with one person is not only torturing others, but also torturing yourself. Your Majesty is not an ordinary person. Why do you do this?" photograph?"

Lu Chao closed his eyes and didn't answer.

His life is too long, and waiting has almost become an obsession engraved in his bones.And every beat of his pulse, every drop of blood flowing through his veins was engraved with Ji Xiao's name, if he uprooted him all at once, he would die.

He has never been able to find out, nor can he let go.

The two remained silent for a long time, until the red candle in the house was overflowing with oil, the wick was short, and the candle light dimmed a little.

Only then did the old eunuch speak again.

"The old slave has been living in the world for so many years, but it is just to wait for someone, and to be obsessed," the old eunuch suddenly knelt down, and bowed deeply to Lu Chao, "but time has passed, I don't think Xianjun will come back again , this old slave can't stand it any longer, don't use that evil method to continue your life, now this old slave's lifespan is coming to an end, when this body dies, it will be the day when this old slave will leave."

Lu Chao's eyelashes trembled slightly, and his knuckles pressed on the table turned white: "Even you have to go."

The old eunuch was silent for a moment, then got up, and bowed again: "This old slave has made up his mind, and I hope His Majesty will make it happen."

The two were silent for a long while, and the table under Lu Chao creaked. Finally, Lu Chao let out a breath and said in a deep voice, "Okay."

"it is good……"

On the fourth watch, in the dark prison.

The temperature is getting lower and lower, and the dark cell is an almost airtight space. After all, it is underground. It is not as cold as outside, but it is also not as cold as a dormitory that burns charcoal.

Ji Xiao was only wearing an unlined garment, and even curled up in a corner, her tongue trembled from the cold.

The fox demon Tujin's spiritual power was sealed, and he felt powerless about it, not to mention that the iron chain directly passed through his lute bone, and the slightest movement would hurt his heart. The exciting action last night had already consumed a lot of his strength. Now he can only lean against the wall, unable to move.

"Don't sit there all the time, get up and walk around," Tu Jin said hoarsely, "You are now a mortal body, if you sleep like this for one night, you will freeze to death."

Ji Xiao walked over barefoot last night. Although he was curled up in his robe, the single clothes were thin after all. His feet were so cold that he had lost all feeling and could not stand up at all.

"I can't go anymore," he said, "I'm a little sleepy."

From last night to now, he has not closed his eyes for a day and a night.

"Don't sleep," Tu Jin said, "Don't sleep..."

Ji Xiao tucked her hands into her robe, warming her hands with the warmth of the life stone.

Now his whole body, only the life stone on his neck is still slightly hot, other places are cold.

Then Ji Xiao heard slight footsteps, he turned his head and saw two people, the one at the head was holding a dim lamp in his hand, and they were walking towards here one after the other.

"Young Master Wei," the old eunuch stood still beside Ji Xiao, bent over and put the quilt and thick cloak on the ground beside him, "The prison is bitterly cold, these can be used to keep out the cold."

Then the shadow guard who followed behind him stepped forward, put down a bowl of ginger tea and white flour steamed buns beside his clothes, and then backed away.

The old eunuch continued: "Little master, you can eat some food to fill your stomach. The people in the harem will only come to deliver food once every two days. As long as the sage does not let go, you must be hungry in the future."

After he finished speaking, he looked at the fox leaning against the wall. After a hundred years of not being able to see the sun and not being free, the former handsome fox had long since disappeared, replaced by a haggard and desperate walking corpse.

Tu Jin also looked up at the old eunuch, and then mocked: "You are so old."

"I'm born with deficiencies, my spiritual roots are deficient, and I have no destiny in this world," the old eunuch said indifferently, "It's just that my parents passed away at that time, and when I was about to enter the wolf's mouth, I was lucky enough to be rescued by Immortal Ji Xiao. With nowhere to go, he took me in as a Taoist boy and led me into the body, but unfortunately after all these years, I still can't cultivate anything, at most I can live longer than ordinary people."

"Now that you're old, you should."

Tu Jin smiled inexplicably: "At that time you were always looking towards Ah Lai, but now you are still working for him, are you stupid? What can you gain by spending so much time with him?"

The old eunuch's gaze remained indifferent: "No reason, I'm just waiting for a word from Xianjun. My life was given by him. Without his order, naturally I can't die easily. As for Alai... probably because..."

He is Alai's only old friend in this world.

Ji Xiao in the corner put on a fox fur coat, coughed lightly twice, then looked at the strange old man, and called out, "Ling'an."

The old eunuch was startled, feeling like his heart was about to freeze.

"It's enough," Ji Xiao said with deep eyes, "Your life has always been your own, and I didn't deserve you to take it so seriously."

"You...you are..." The old eunuch's cloudy eyeballs moved slightly, and hot moisture suddenly filled the entire eye socket.

There were fox furs on his feet to warm him up, and finally he recovered a little bit of temperature. Ji Xiao stood up while leaning on the wall, and walked slowly to the old eunuch step by step.

These days, this body has grown a little taller, and it can be compared with the old eunuch.

"I seem to have forgotten a lot of things," Ji Xiao stretched out his hand to touch the old eunuch's gray forehead, "but I dreamed about your name, and I remember that you seem to like sweet-scented osmanthus candy, and you always dip it in honey."

The tears in the old eunuch's eyes finally fell, and he suddenly felt that all these years of waiting were worth it.

He originally thought that no one would know this little secret. He always hid it and ate it secretly, so Ji Xiao took it to heart.

"All these years," the old eunuch choked up, "Is Xianjun doing well in the sky?"

After finishing speaking, he added: "Look at my stupid mouth, how can the fairy world be bad."

Immediately afterwards, he paused again, and then asked suspiciously: "If that place is really a land of bliss, why is Xianjun here now?"

Ji Xiao smiled at him indifferently: "The sky is indeed a place of bliss, but I'm tired of staying here. This time, I came down here to experience the calamity of love, and... to find something that I lost for a long time."

The old eunuch wanted to ask too many things in his heart, but when the words came to his lips, he felt that asking anything seemed superfluous at this time.His whole life's obsession was just to see Ji Xiao again, but now that the obsession is over and the dust has settled, he has nothing else to worry about.

The two chatted for a while, but what they said was just gossip, so many years of parting, in fact, it is impossible to talk about it in detail.

When the old eunuch left the dark prison, he felt that his whole body was light and his hands and feet were soft. He suddenly didn't know what he was going to do now.

As he walked and thought, he suddenly remembered Lu Chao.

Yes, I have to tell Lu Chao.

Believe it or not, let him know...

As he was walking, he suddenly started trotting again, passed through the long corridor of the side hall, and ran to the courtyard in front of the main hall.

At the same time, his eyes suddenly went blank, and he fell to the ground suddenly.

It was always that unfulfilled wish that supported him to live, but now his heart was suddenly empty, and he had reached the end of his life.

He looked at the gradually blurred, purple-black sky, his consciousness gradually faded, and there were tears in the corners of his eyes.

He hasn't had time yet...

I haven't had time to tell Alai.
