The tyrant has a white moonlight

"Your Majesty, this..." Wei Zhongning, the deputy head of the eunuch, lowered his eyebrows. Behind him was the corpse of the old eunuch who was carried in by the palace people.

Lu Chao closed his eyes silently and sat quietly for a moment.

His only old friend in this world also left him, without even having time to say goodbye to him.

But thinking about it carefully, the words he just said before leaving already contained a metaphor of parting.

Lu Chao finally got up and walked slowly towards the pale corpse, then he squatted down and reached out his hands to close the gray eyes of the corpse.

"Choose an auspicious day for burial," he said in a deep voice. "The funeral will be held according to the specifications of the marquis, and the epitaph will be drafted by you. Don't treat him harshly."

Wei Zhongning bowed his head, and said carefully: "Your Majesty...Your Majesty, the marquis is a super-rank. According to the laws and regulations of this dynasty, no one can be named a marquis unless he has military merits. Although he has worked hard and made great achievements, such and such... is still the same. Inappropriate."

Lu Chao turned his head and glanced at him, with murderous intent in his eyes: "I don't think there is anything wrong with it, but if Eunuch Wei really thinks it's wrong to confer the title of Marquis, I will die in Ling'an today, you two Let’s honor this Hou Zhirong together.”

"I don't dare," Wei Zhongning immediately knelt down hastily, slapped his face fiercely, and said as he slapped, "It's the slave who talks too much, and the slave realizes his mistake."

When Wei Zhongning's cheeks were swollen, Lu Chao gently raised his hand, and called out lightly: "Where did he go before he died?"

According to Lu Chao's understanding of Ling'an, if he knew that he would die today, he would definitely change his clothes, lie down on the bed, and walk decently.

Wei Zhongning kowtowed and said: "I originally ordered the palace people to go to the secret prison to deliver food, but the restriction in the secret prison is difficult to break, and my father-in-law was worried about making mistakes, so he went there himself..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Chao got up, stepped out the door, and went to the side hall.

Lu Chao broke into the courtyard of the side hall all the way, followed by a large group of palace people who followed carefully, alarming Haitang and others in the side hall.

Haitang put on her coat, opened the door and saw that it was Lu Chao, without thinking about it, she went forward and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, after all, my young master is not very old, and your lord has a lot of people, so I will spare him that thought." lose, let him out."

Lu Chao didn't even look at her, but said coldly, "Get out."

"Your Majesty," Chu Yu forgot to put on his coat and knelt heavily on the icy snow, his voice trembling with cold, "it was bitterly cold in the prison, and the master was dressed so thin when he left. My god, I'm afraid even the gods won't be able to endure it, if you don't want to let him out, at least allow the servants to send him something to keep out the cold..."

Lu Chao didn't listen to him at all, and just walked past him.

At the same time, in the dark prison.

Ji Xiao drank most of the bowl of ginger tea, and stuffed two more white flour steamed buns into his stomach. His stomach finally warmed up a bit. Under the warmth of the heavy bedding, his hands and feet finally warmed up.

He huddled under the quilt, his eyelids were unconsciously covered, and within a moment, he fell into a coma.

Not long after, Tu Jin, who was still awake, suddenly heard footsteps from far to near. He moved his body, and the heavy iron chains on his body clattered.

Ji Xiao opened half of his eyes half asleep and half awake, and asked vaguely, "What's wrong?"

"Wang Jixiao." Lu Chao's deep and cold voice was particularly cold in this small dark room.

As he gradually approached, he overturned the half-bowl of ginger tea on the ground and sprinkled it on the muddy floor, wafting a damp smell with a hint of ginger.

Before Ji Xiao could fully wake up, Lu Chao pulled him out of the warm quilt, half lifted him up, and suddenly let go, causing him to fall heavily to the ground.

Ji Xiao finally woke up and looked up at Lu Chao.

"I ask you, did Ling'an come here just now? Did you say anything to him? What did you do?" Lu Chao looked down at him condescendingly, his eyes were as cold as snow that didn't melt at sunrise.

Before Ji Xiao could reply, Tu Jin by the wall smiled sarcastically: "Your Majesty's hands are stretched a bit too far, you even care about what other people say and do, you human emperors are like this Are you at leisure?"

Tu Jin was only concerned with finding Lu Chao's unhappiness, but Ji Xiao noticed Lu Chao's unusual tone, his heart sank, as if he had guessed something, he asked, "What's wrong with him?"

Lu Chao was silent for a while, and then said: "He is dead."

Ji Xiao's eyes turned cold, and a moment of astonishment flashed in his eyes, he subconsciously shook his head.

He didn't know what to say, the only thing that was worthwhile in the words he said to Ling'an just now was... a little secret that only Ling'an could understand.

"What did you say to him? Why didn't you speak?"

After waiting for a while, Ji Xiao was still in a daze, like a gourd with its mouth sawn off. Lu Chao's meager patience ran out, and he turned his head to look at Tu Jin who was on the side again: "Come on."

Tu Jin obediently recounted what the two of them had just said, only omitting Ling An's reaction, and omitting the secret that only Ji Xiao and Ling An knew.

At the end, he added another sentence: "Does Your Majesty believe what I say?"

Lu Chao naturally didn't believe it, he bent down, pinched Ji Xiao's face, and forced him to look at him: "Is what he said true?"

He paused, then asked again: "Are you Ji Xiao?"

Ji Xiao could feel his fingertips trembling, and for a moment, he suddenly felt that the emperor in front of him was actually very pitiful.

He felt no need to lie, so he answered honestly, "Yes."

Lu Chao's hands trembled even more, and the next sentence was almost squeezed out between his teeth: "Don't lie to me, or... I will kill you."

He has nothing left, and he wants to grab something too much.

Ji Xiao calmly did not avoid it, and met his gaze directly.

"Do you still remember..." The corners of Lu Chao's eyes were slightly red, and he spoke incoherently. He put his hand on Jixiao's chin and put it on Jixiao's shoulder again, and then gradually tightened it, "About me, you say... ..."

Whether it was the first time he had self-awareness, or Jixiao took him down the mountain for the first time, Jixiao would secretly give his natal sword to celebrate his birthday every year, or since it became conscious, Jixiao has never seen it again. Killed any creature with it...

As long as it is about him, no one else knows, just say anything, and he will believe it.

He will believe it.

"..." Ji Xiao searched and searched, but couldn't find any secrets that only he and Lu Chao knew, "I don't remember..."

He couldn't remember.

Before Lu Chao could react, Tu Jin, who was leaning against the wall, suddenly straightened up and laughed loudly: "Your Majesty has grown up for so many years, why is he still so naive? How can there be such a good thing in this world?" What happened? I told him those words, I told him that as long as he cheated you, he would have a chance to go out, maybe he would have a chance to kill you—do you really think Ji Xiao will come back?"

Lu Chao let go of the hand tightly grasped on Ji Xiao's shoulder, and looked at Ji Xiao as if looking at a dead person: "You are lying to me..."

"Your Majesty also believes in such a crude scam. Have you been fooled all these years?" Tu Jin showed a sarcasm smile, and he paused every word, "He won't come back, you are still doing it what dream?"

"Shut up," Lu Chao said angrily, "Shut up!"

At the same time, the iron chain hanging on Tu Jin's body suddenly tightened, and the iron chain that pierced through his lute bone twitched suddenly, turning over the already healed flesh and blood, and blood came out again.

The smile on Tu Jin's face became more ferocious, and the words that were almost insane jumped out of her mouth word by word: "You are not worthy of Ji Xiao... Ha... You will only be able to match fakes for the rest of your life!"

Lu Chao clenched his knuckles, raised his palm and swung it towards his face. Tu Jin was pierced to the side by this force, and the iron chains on his body were tightened and tightened, and it was involved in the lute bone again. Words came out.

"Why did you lie to me?" Lu Chao turned around, grabbed Ji Xiao's throat roughly, and asked almost screaming, "You also lied to him, didn't you? Do you know your ignorant lies... ...will kill him?"

Ji Xiao couldn't struggle, and was forced to lean against the hard and cold wall, feeling bitter in his mouth.

He suppressed the feeling of suffocation on the verge of death, every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth: "I didn't... lie to him, and I didn't lie to... you."

"You're still lying," Lu Chao stared at him, his eyes were red, he looked like a madman, "How dare you lie!"

"Wang Jixiao, you can live to this day only because of the glory of this face--you are just a faux pas, what do you think you are?"

He said viciously: "You are not even as good as half a hair of his hair."

Seven or eight feet behind Lu Chao, the last light in the shadow guard's hand was wiped out by a wind blowing from nowhere, and Ji Xiao's eyes became darker and darker. He was like a drowning man on the verge of death. He tightly grasped Lu Chao's sleeve.

Tu Jin, who had witnessed all this, curled her lips, but tears kept overflowing from her eyes.

kill him.

kill him!

After living for more than a hundred years, he has never felt as happy as he is now. The joy of revenge almost made the numb blood in his whole body alive.

He really wanted to see what it would be like for a paranoid monster like Lu Chao to personally kill the person he couldn't forget.

Lu Chao deprived him of his freedom for half of his life. For a hundred years, he saw this dark prison every day when he opened his eyes. How could he not hate it?

He hates it so much.

He hated Lu Chao, and also hated Ji Xiao who had completely forgotten about him.The bewilderedness and indifference of the man when he heard his name at the reunion made his suffering for so many years seem like a big joke.
