The tyrant has a white moonlight

Ji Xiao lowered her head and rubbed the top of A Zhu's hair, then said with some regret: "I can't accompany you today, you should go home first, don't go to the river easily without an adult to accompany you."

A Zhu tugged at his sleeve in frustration: "What about tomorrow?"

"A few more days." Ji Xiao said vaguely, then raised his eyes and saw Lu Chao who was not far away, but his feet froze, and he turned around and said to A Zhu, "Maybe I won't come back again, you don't have to wait I."

Hearing these words, Lu Chao suddenly raised his head and met Ji Xiao's eyes.

The person beside him said slowly: "I asked you that day, I have been away for so many years, did Alai ever fall in love with someone else, but you didn't answer."

"It must be this one who Alai concealed and refused to say."

Lu Chao grabbed the man's wrist, and then held his cold hand again: "Don't think about it."

Ji Xiao walked very slowly, but because the distance was not far, he still came to the two of them very quickly. His eyes stopped for a moment on Lu Chao's hand that was tightly held by that person, and then he seemed to be indifferent. As if concerned, he moved away lightly.

He smiled meaningfully: "I haven't seen you for a few days, and His Majesty has found a new love."

"Let me guess," Ji Xiao seemed to ponder for a moment, and then he said, "Is this old man who should be born more like His Majesty than me? Or...exactly the same—right? Your Majesty. "

In a few words, he hit the whole picture of the matter, but Lu Chao felt an unreasonable anger in his heart, and he said coldly: "Even so, what does it have to do with you? The widow hasn't settled the score with you yet for your feigned death and leaving the palace." , where did you get the guts... to get your yin and yang strange anger on this widow?"

"Fake death?" Ji Xiao stopped laughing, looking at Lu Chao with a bit of imperceptible disappointment, "Your Majesty, ask yourself, was there any way for the servant to survive at that time?"

The atmosphere in the room between the three was terribly deadlocked.

It wasn't until Wei Zhongning came with two carriages that the atmosphere here eased up a little.

Wei Zhongning saluted the emperor, then nodded in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the carriage is ready."

Lu Chao's eyes moved to him, a little puzzled: "I didn't ask you to arrange a carriage."

"I asked Eunuch Wei to prepare it," the person beside him said modestly and politely, "Since Ah Lai is here to pick up someone, it's not easy to let others go back with you, that would be rude."

The voice is impeccable and humble, but it only has the accent on the word "others".

After speaking, he smiled at Ji Xiao again, and said calmly: "I'll get in the car first, you two can chat slowly."

Then he turned around and got into the larger carriage.

"Go back with the widow," Lu Chao grabbed Ji Xiao's wrist, fixedly stared at him, and said, "The widow will forgive you for the assassination, and will not send you back to the dark prison."

"Why is this necessary, Your Majesty?" Ji Xiao's eyes darkened, "The servant has already apologized for the assassination with death, what else does your majesty want? Besides, since your majesty has found a more suitable substitute, keeping the servant by your side is also an eyesore."

Lu Chao avoided his gaze, still with that unreasonable look: "You don't have to be so aggressive, I just want to ask you something, here...it's not suitable to talk for a long time, go back to the palace first."

As soon as the words fell, he let go of his hands, and then turned around and boarded the carriage with a larger roof.

Wei Zhongning took two guards and semi-forced Ji Xiao into the last carriage. Although Wei Zhongning didn't understand the cause and effect of the three people, he now understood that in front of Lu Chao, as long as he talked less and did more , can avoid many unnecessary disasters.

"Please get in the car, little master."

On the way, the wheels rolled over the snow and made a creaking sound.

Lu Chao's mood became more and more irritable, he raised his hand and opened the car curtain, and then threw the hand warmer at hand to Wei Zhongning who was outside the car: "Give it to him."

Ji Xiao's assassination attempt failed, and he absconded in fear of crime. Lu Chao guessed that Wei Zhongning didn't dare to prepare such delicate things as hand stoves for him.Originally, he wanted to give him a cold shoulder, and told him to learn the rules, but his mind was full of his extremely cold hands, so his heart softened again.

Wei Zhongning took the stove carefully, turned around and started to walk back.

"Wait," Lu Chao suddenly stopped him again, "Don't say it's what I mean."

"Yes" Wei Zhongning replied.

The curtain at Lu Chao's hand was drawn down, but the person beside him rolled up the curtain of the car, his eyes were cast out of the window indifferently, and his tone seemed to be remorseful: "Alai, are you still blaming me?"

Lu Chao was slightly startled: "Why do you say that suddenly?"

The man didn't answer immediately, but was silent for a while, and then shook his head lightly: "I'm just a little sad, I've been away from you for so long, so I haven't been able to witness your growth with my own eyes."

"Alai...in the past, there was always only one person."

Lu Chao's heart seemed to be pricked by a needle, he clasped the hand of the person beside him with some distress, and softened his tone again, comforting him: "It's still the same now."

"He's just a concubine that I chatted with to amuse myself when you were away. I didn't have half the heart for him."

At the same time, Wei Zhongning knocked on the carriage that Ji Xiao was riding in, and when he opened the curtain, Wei Zhongning handed in the hand warmer.

"It's been a lot colder these days, the little master of the hand stove can use it to warm his hands."

Ji Xiao took over the hand stove in a good manner. Although Wei Zhongning didn't say anything, he could tell that the outside of the hand stove was covered with a soft purple satin like a child's skin, and there were two five-clawed golden dragons embroidered on it. , except for the emperor, no one dared to use such a specification.

But Ji Xiao only glanced at it, then put the hand stove aside.

Now he is lying to say that he doesn't feel sorry for Lu Chao, after all, it is A Lai who depends on him for life, only he can wait for him so foolishly and stubbornly for thousands of years.

But seeing him being played around by a liar who came from nowhere, it was impossible not to be disappointed.Lu Chao is not kind, knows no mistakes, and does not repent, which shatters his old clean and pure conception of Alai.

He is Alai, but he is not quite the same as Alai.

Ji Xiao's gaze landed on the hand stove erratically again, and he sighed slightly, feeling a little inexplicably disappointed.

But he didn't watch him grow up after all.

----

The carriage slowly stopped in front of the Palace of Auspiciousness, and Lu Chao took the man out of the carriage and walked in front side by side.

Haitang and the others got the news that Ji Xiao was coming back, so they waited in front of the hall early, and after paying their respects to Lu Chao, they greeted Ji Xiao's carriage.

As soon as Chu Yufu saw Ji Xiao coming down from the carriage, the tears in his eyes immediately fell, and he said in a sobbing voice: "Little master, woo... Eunuch Wei said that day... I thought you really didn't gone."

"Don't say such bad words," Haitang immediately interrupted him, "Isn't the little master back?"

Ji Xiao stepped forward, lightly clasped the back of Chu Yu's head, and patted Hai Tang's shoulder with the other hand as comfort: "Don't worry about me, how are you doing these days, has Lu Chao ever turned his anger on you?"

"I've never vented my anger..." Seeing Ji Xiao habitually going towards the side hall, Chu Yu glanced at him with some grievances, and complained in a low voice, "Master doesn't know yet, that person—"

He pointed to the white figure beside Lu Chao.

"Yesterday he came to the gate of the palace and said that he was the person His Majesty was looking for, so the palace people took him to the Unknown Palace. The servant and Sister Haitang secretly went to see him. Although he looked like you, he could tell it was not you at a glance. , but His Majesty let him stay, and even gave him the bedroom of the little master of the side hall... and sister Haitang and I, now serve him instead."

Ji Xiao felt a little bored and displeased in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face: "Then you are talking about old times with me here, isn't it against the rules?"

Chu Yu curled her lips: "Serving him is an embarrassment for the emperor. Sister Haitang and I don't want it in our hearts. Fortunately, that person doesn't like us, but Shao Yao's flattery is very useful to him."

"A good bird chooses a tree to live in," Ji Xiao said casually, "Instead of following me in fear, it's better to find another place to go. She is also blameless for doing so."

When they said this, Lu Chao and that person had already disappeared from their field of vision.

Ji Xiao looked away from them, and heard Chu Yu ask again: "Young master, why don't you go to the servant's room to rest first."

Haitang said: "Isn't your residence also in the side hall? Little master, why bother to go there to get angry, why don't you go to the warm pavilion in the west chamber, it used to be the bedroom of slaves and Shaoyao, your majesty doesn't go there often, it's warm in winter, It’s also farther away from the Dongpian Hall.”

"Let's go there."

At the same time, Lu Chao, who had just sent the man back to the side hall, looked back, but Ji Xiao was nowhere to be seen. He immediately called Wei Zhongning and asked, "Then why didn't Wang Jixiao follow?"

"Returning to the emperor," Wei Zhongning said, "this servant watched as Miss Haitang took the little master to the warm pavilion in the west chamber."

"It's probably the residence of the palace people...there is more than one yard in the side hall," Lu Chaoyuan thought about taking him directly to the main hall, but unexpectedly, he was careless at this moment, and he pinched his brows with a headache, "Forget it, if he If you like it, the widow can't force it."

"Order, the meals and dishes are still the same as before, he is still the master, don't let other people bully him."

Probably realizing that he seemed to be a little too concerned about Wang Jixiao, Lu Chao went back and made amends: "He even dared to poke widows, and others would not pay attention to him, so that people in the harem would follow him, don't Tell him to make trouble again."
