"You should have heard it just now," Ji Xiao stood up and picked up the dagger, which was extremely heavy and cold to the touch, and his eyes stopped on the knife. It’s not clean, and he turns a blind eye to the immortals in the sky, but he doesn’t allow us to stay in the world, do you know why?”

Lu Chao looked at his profile: "Why?"

Ji Xiao smiled sarcastically: "Because he himself is nostalgic, he also has worldly desires that cannot be broken, but he is ruthless enough, as long as the woman whose marriage is not broken with him reincarnates once, he will kill her once."

Lu Chao was slightly taken aback, he couldn't understand such heartlessness.

"Since he is already the Emperor of Heaven, why can't King Hades erase her name from the book of life and death?"

"Because the Emperor of Heaven wants to fulfill his selflessness," Ji Xiao leaned over and kissed Lu Chao's chin, "to fulfill his renunciation of love and desire."

He kissed carefully, and then pressed the dagger into Lu Chao's palm.

Lu Chao looked down at him: "Aren't you going to kill me?"

Ji Xiao looked up at him, those deep purple pupils were filled with the golden light of candle flames and the explicit nostalgia and lingering affection, as well as a kind of sweetness that was about to die.

He seemed to never have thought that he would really stay here with him.

Ji Xiao felt a sudden prick in her heart, and for a moment she just wanted to hug him tightly, pamper him, and love him.

"I won't kill you," Ji Xiao knelt on both sides of his waist, raised her hand to touch his eyelashes, "I will never leave again."

He chuckled lightly, and his voice was very pleasant: "I will stay with you in this world, we have a long time to prepare for the funeral, until you are tired of it, and then we can die together."

Lu Chao's tense face suddenly relaxed, and he finally smiled, and he agreed, "Okay."

Ji Xiao went on to say: "So I will hand over this dagger to you, and you can find a place to hide it yourself."

He paused, then half-jokingly said: "Don't let me find you."

It was an early morning, and it was rare for Lu Chao to come for no reason. Early in the morning, when the servants brought breakfast, they only heard that Lu Chao had contracted the wind and cold, and some unknown fire had arisen, so he didn't want to see anyone.

Such an inexplicable situation has not happened before, so the palace people are not surprised.

However, the emperor, who was sick in bed, actually dragged Ji Xiao out of the palace early on. All the way out of the palace was restrained by a magic circle set up by him himself.

The small stalls in the streets and alleys are scattered and orderly, and the restaurants and teahouses with storefronts are also very prosperous. The two of them dressed as ordinary young masters and blended in the crowd, feeling as if they had passed away.

The two farmers outside the city squeezed behind and carried rice noodles on their shoulders, chatting with each other with a smile.

"Yesterday, the emperor decreed that this year's harvest is not good, and it is now close to the end of the year. I am sympathetic to the hard work of our people in the past year, and the agricultural tax and commercial tax have been reduced. Otherwise, I really don't know how to live this year."

Lu Chao glanced at Ji Xiao, with some unconcealable satisfaction on his face.

Unexpectedly, the two of them said again: "My boy only attended the private school last year. I don't know where he heard the rumors, saying that our emperor has lived for too long, like a monster."

"Your kid is really brave."

"Isn't this a child's speech? But when I think about it carefully, this emperor has been in power since my grandfather's generation. From that calculation, it is true that he has lived too long."

"If you want me to say, don't care if it's a monster or not, it's strange or not, your grandfather was still suffering from famine, how many people would starve to death in a village? Now everyone in our village can eat rice noodles, I can't wait for him Live longer!"

"It's true," the farmer continued, "I just heard that the emperor likes men, and he hasn't given birth to a son and a half daughter for so many years. Almost all the three thousand beauties in the harem have been dismissed."

"Tsk tsk tsk," the man teased, "you think it's because there's something wrong there, that's why you pretend you don't like women?"

"Why does anyone dare to say nasty words?" Another person laughed and slapped him on the back, "Be careful of your head."

Lu Chao was quite annoyed when he heard it, and couldn't help but look back at the two of them and mocked, "Foolish people."

The first two people were stunned for a while, and then one of them reacted a little faster, and immediately pointed at the tip of Lu Chao's nose and cursed, "What are you doing? Why are you swearing? We said it in front of you? It's really a dye workshop Selling Cloth in Li — Mind your own business!"

Lu Chao was not to be outdone: "Where do you have the guts to be so outspoken...I'm talking? Come with me to the yamen, it seems that you're just an uneducated thug, I'll give you ten boards."

The man became even angrier, and he grabbed Lu Chao's collar when he came up, "You want to reward people casually, do you think you are the emperor? You cursed people for no reason, and you even called for a thief to send you to the yamen. Is that still possible?" Wang Fa?"

The other person was calmer. Seeing that Lu Chao and Ji Xiao were dressed in extraordinary clothes, they looked like young masters from rich families. If they had an official position, it would be easier to trouble them in the future.

He hurriedly pulled the cursing man in front: "Let's not quarrel with them, hurry back to the village, my sister-in-law is still in a hurry to make hand-rolled noodles for us and the four boys."

Lu Chao pulled the man's hand away, and at the same time, Ji Xiao grabbed his fingers, and patted his back comfortingly: "Okay, how old are you, why are you so anxious with them?"

Lu Chao's face softened a bit, but he still wanted to question the man: "If you have the guts, leave your name."

The man was furious and glared at Lu Chao: "I, Li Chuesong, a native of Linxi Village, come to me if you have enough seeds, I'm not afraid of you!"

"Sorry, he's quite angry." After he said this, he quickly grabbed him and pushed him to the side of the road.

This was just a small dispute on the road, Ji Xiao didn't take it to heart, and pulled Lu Chao to walk for a while.

The two soon saw a man selling candied haws with straw pillars on his shoulders. Ji Xiaonian liked Lu Chao, so he asked Lu Chao, "Do you want it?"

"No."

"Where's the maltose?"

"no appetite."

Ji Xiao finally found something wrong with Lu Chao: "Still angry?"

"Not angry."

Seeing his grievance, Ji Xiao couldn't help laughing for a while, he coaxed a child and said, "Why are you angry with them? Well, if it's something big, just eat something and forget about it."

Lu Chao had a dissatisfied face: "You are pulling aside."

Ji Xiao: "..."

"You say I'm still arguing with them when I'm an adult," Lu Chaodao, "You just think I'm no longer precious when I'm old."

"I'm sorry," Ji Xiao looked back at the figures of the two farmers who were submerged in the crowd, and pretended to be angry, "These foolish people should be arrested in the yamen and beat them to the top ten...not enough, it's better to beat them. A twenty board."

After speaking, he looked at Lu Chao again, his tone softened a lot.

"When I brought you here before, I didn't see so many vendors, and it wasn't so lively." Ji Xiao gave him a gratified smile, and suddenly added, "Alai, your emperor has done a good job. "

Lu Chao's ears were visibly red.

"Are you still angry?" Ji Xiao asked again.

Lu Chao shook his head first, then nodded, and said in a muffled voice, "There is still a little."

"Candied haws?"

"alright."

Ji Xiao laughed at him: "If you get a cheap price, you're still a good boy."

For a moment, he really wanted all the civil and military officials in the court to see how pampered and shameless their ordinary, cold-blooded and inhuman emperor, who was arbitrary in the court, was in private.

This is the A Lai in his memory. It was he who broke his heart in the past and made him develop such a corrupt shell to protect himself.

It was a whole day for the two of them to stroll outside.

In fact, there are not many places to visit in the capital, but the two of them still enjoy it while strolling from one end to the other, and from the other end to this end.

When the street vendors were about to close their stalls, Ji Xiao suddenly saw the street gadget vendor taking out a few exquisitely crafted cotton dolls from his cloth bag.

He went up and called the peddler: "How do you sell this?"

The peddler hid it and refused to give it, but he reported a large sum: "One five taels of silver!"

"Then I want it all." Ji Xiao said.

The peddler obviously didn't expect this man to be so generous, 15 taels of silver was enough to buy him a cart of things, and he was willing to use it to buy these rag dolls.

"This is made by my wife from the rags left over from the children's New Year's clothes. They are all small animals. The children like them, but she asked me to bring them to sell and subsidize the family." The peddler smiled happily. He took the silver from Ji Xiao calmly, and said, "I just wanted to pick it up and put it on display at the end, and pretend it wasn't sold when I got back, so I could give it to the children."

Ji Xiao smiled gently: "It seems that I took the love."

The peddler smiled, with a look of joy at being taken advantage of: "I can't say that, it's our family's good fortune to meet you, and this year should be a good year."

On the way back to the palace.

Lu Chao glanced at the puppet in his arms from time to time, pretending to be nonchalant and asked: "I remember you didn't like these things before, such an ugly thing, who did you buy it for?"

Ji Xiao said: "Chuyu talked to me before, saying that his mother made one for him before, but he was very regretful that he couldn't bring it into the palace."

"I'll give Chuyu the light blue rabbit," Ji Xiao looked into his arms, as if thinking for a while, and said, "I'll give Haitang the pink lamb."

Lu Chao waited and found that Ji Xiao seemed to have nothing to say, and immediately felt wronged again.

"What about me?" Lu Chao said reluctantly, "They have both servants, but I don't."

Ji Xiao was amused by him, so he picked out a purple Nian beast from his bosom and gave it to him: "I'll keep the most beautiful one for you."

Lu Chao had a disliked expression on his face, but he quickly took Nian Beast's hand. He squeezed the little thing, and it seemed to be more delicate than the other two, although it was better than the palace's craftsmanship. It's still a long way off, but Lu Chao has realized his specialness to Ji Xiao from this gadget, and the more he looks at this Nian beast, the more pleasing it is to his eyes.

Ji Xiao was very happy to see him so obviously happy, but insisted on holding his breath, his gaze stayed on Lu Chao for a long time, then he swayed, and caught a glimpse of the dagger handle protruding from the leather belt on his right side.

That's exactly what he taught him yesterday.

"Why do you still carry it with you?" Ji Xiao suddenly asked.

With a casual attitude, as if he had just remembered, Lu Chao raised his hand to touch the handle of the knife, and said half-jokingly: "I haven't thought about hiding it yet. I'm afraid you will regret it. It's safest to put it on your body first."
