Rebirth of Ghost Eye Shou Ye

At tea time, I heard the news from outside the hall that the emperor had arrived.Ji Xiamo stood up with Ji Ye, bowed and knelt to welcome the holy driver.

Having not seen the emperor for many years, he has aged a lot, his once fierce eyes are cloudy and blurry, his body is also plagued by illness and his gait is vain.

The emperor allowed all the officials to be flattened, and the eunuch Pu Gonggong recited the congratulatory speech at the palace banquet.

Ji Xiamo looked at the dreamlike drunkenness, and the noisy voice was blocked from hearing. Ji Xiamo sipped the hot wine, and the warm and mellow hot wine rolled down his throat, turning into a pungent and spicy taste.

Ji Xiamo looked at the emperor through the dim candlelight. The emperor looked pale and in a trance, his eyes were dark and tired, and the dragon aura shield was not evil. The emperor was probably really sick.

"The virtuous king is here!" The sound of communication outside the inner hall made the hall instantly quiet, and countless pairs of eyes looked at it, only to see the virtuous king's black wolf fur robe, arrogant and unscrupulous.

The virtuous king walked to the center of the inner hall, raised his black robe and bowed to his courtiers, "Your brother sees the emperor!"

"The virtuous king doesn't need to be too polite." The emperor raised his hand in vain.

King Xian got up and glanced across the inner hall, his eyes were sharp and cunning. "My younger brother occasionally got a rare jade a few years ago, and this time I brought it into the imperial city to present it to the emperor."

The virtuous king waved his hand to the attendants outside the hall as he spoke, and carried the pear wooden table half a person's height to the inner hall.The virtuous king bowed his hands to salute, turned around and removed the golden silk and satin.

The silk and satin were lifted to reveal a three-foot black jade on the pear wood case.

"King Xian!" King Zhongyi got up angrily and opened his eyes wide.

All the ministers in the inner hall buried their heads and held their breath, not daring to move. The emperor is the golden dragon reincarnated as the Ninth Five-Year King. The virtuous king presents the black jade dragon mascot. Doesn't it mean that he has the intention of cursing and plotting against him?

King Xian was in a stalemate with King Zhongyi, and the emperor's cold expression was obviously angry.The emperor's symptoms have become more and more serious in recent years, and he is especially sensitive to evil spirits and filth. The offering of the black jade dragon by the virtuous king has indeed touched the emperor's reverse scale.

The emperor can't touch the virtuous king, and the royal family can't lose face. If the stalemate in the inner palace is not resolved, I'm afraid some unlucky ghost will die in his place tonight.

Ji Xiamo stood up with a sigh, cupped his hands and said in a loud voice, "The black jade coiled dragon is rare and hard to see. The sage king got this rare object and presented it to the emperor. His loyalty is evident."

To signal Ji Ye to be relieved, Ji Xiamo walked to the center of the inner hall to salute. "Your Majesty, the offering of the Black Jade Panlong by the Worthy King may have other meanings. Please allow Xia Mo to take a closer look."

Ji Xiamo paved the steps, and the emperor was naturally willing to come down the slope. "allow."

Ji Xiamo thanked the emperor, turned around and cupped his hands to ask the sage king.King Xian looked at Ji Xiamo domineeringly, "You are that boy."

"Ji Xiamo, the son of the Prime Minister's Mansion of Cao Min." Ji Xiamo smiled indifferently, neither humble nor overbearing.

"Can you solve this king's offering of black jade and panlong?" The Xian Wang wanted to be provocative, and he looked down on Ji Xiamo, who looked like a weak scholar.

"Let's try our best." Ji Xiamo approached the Black Jade Panlong, paced around the pear wood case twice, turned and glanced at the inner hall. "I don't know who has a dagger with him."

Qin Yan walked to the inner hall, took out the dagger and handed it to Ji Xiamo, "I have it."

Ji Xiamo took the dagger, rubbed his fingers against the Black Jade Panlong, paused for a moment, and suddenly stabbed the unsheathed dagger at the top of the Black Jade Panlong.

All the officials in the inner hall were shocked by Ji Xiamo's actions. They saw the black jade panlong cracked into fine lines, and the black jade was peeled off layer by layer, revealing the black jade panlong's golden body.

Ji Xiamo carefully cut and peeled off the black jade, and asked Qin Yan to pour it with cold wine. The stream of light was lingering and lifelike, and the golden dragon lying coiled seemed to be about to open its eyes and soar into the sky.

Ji Xiamo turned around and cupped his hands to ask the emperor, "There is heaven and earth in the black jade hidden gold, which means that you can see the blue sky through the clouds and mist. May my emperor's dragon body recover and live in peace.

Good people and bad people were called Ji Xiamo, the virtuous king's face was gloomy and terrifying, the emperor's long face was joyful, and all the officials in the inner palace also greeted him loudly.

"The virtuous king's gift is very heart-warming, I take the emerald from my imperial study and give it to the virtuous king as I wish."

"My brother thanked the emperor." The virtuous king knelt down and thanked Shengen with anger.

The emperor's eyes fell on Ji Xiamo, with a gentle smile, "Xia Mo's health has been better recently."

"Thanks to the emperor's concern, the grassroots are no longer in serious trouble."

"The old illness still needs to be rested. The imperial physician in the palace has prepared some medicines for my health. You can take some back home."

"Thank you for the emperor's grace." Ji Xiamo knelt down and thanked the emperor.

The Black Jade Panlong turmoil passed, and the inner hall returned to harmony.Accompanied by delicious food, singing and dancing, Ji Xiamo drank the hot wine indifferently, turning a blind eye to the sinister eyes of the virtuous king.

The virtuous king presents a black jade panlong to challenge, and there will naturally be a remedy.When observing the Black Jade Panlong just now, Ji Xiamo discovered that there were traces of repairs on the top of the Black Jade Panlong. The golden body hidden in the Black Jade Panlong should have been discovered by the sage king long ago, and he would present it to the emperor after looking for a skillful repair.

Ji Xiamo was able to discover that there was a universe in the black jade panlong, so naturally Lou Yin reminded him.Ji Xiamo looked up and saw Qin Yan's worry, nodded and smiled.

"Put down the wine." Lou Yin's cold voice rang in his ears.

Ji Xiamo paused when serving the wine, and then reluctantly put it back on the table.It's rare to be hungry today, yet Lou Yin still wants to disturb her.Ji Xiamo complained in his heart, but he also knew that Lou Yin was thinking of him.

The palace banquet in the inner palace means reunion, and the princes toasted the emperor one after another with congratulatory speeches.Talking about interesting things in daily life, discussing poetry, qin and painting, it looks like a happy family, but I don't know how sincere it is.

Ji Xiamo looked at the singing girl dancing gracefully in the inner hall, and inexplicably thought of Feng Yishuang in the imperial garden, whether he was sitting alone under the withered magnolia tree, with the wind and snow blowing the mournful flute sound all over his body.

"Xiaomo." Ji Ye interrupted Ji Xiamo's meditation with a push.

"Father." Ji Xiamo looked back at Ji Ye.

"The fireworks of the palace banquet are about to start. If you want to see it, put on your cloak." Ji Ye took the cloak and put it on carefully for Ji Xiamo.

Ji Xiamo looked towards the inner hall, and saw that the emperor's concubines were ready to move.Ji Xiamo smiled and nodded, "I know dad."

If you lose your horse, you know it's not a blessing. Although life is a bit more difficult, at least you can grow old safely.

[Text Episode 147 The Life and Death of Jin Wuji]

Ji Xiamo followed the emperor and left the inner hall. Looking at the top of the building, a feast of melons and fruits was prepared. The palace lanterns were lit, and the wintersweets in the garden became more and more beautiful. snow scene illustration.

The emperor admired the plum blossoms and drank wine, and the kings walked around their knees. On both sides were the queen and the concubine Shu. It seemed that his wife and children were in harmony, but in fact it was difficult to know the true heart.

Ji Xiamo was picky about the cakes on the plate, laughing to himself that Ji Ye is not affectionate, if Ji Ye's wives and concubines were full of children and grandchildren, he would probably have to plot schemes and stage a thrilling house fight.

The date pit hit Ji Xiamo's sleeve robe, and Ji Xiamo turned around to see Qin Yan waving.At this time, the fireworks are set off, and the colorful fireworks reflect the snowflakes in full bloom, attracting everyone's attention.

Ji Xiamo raised her brocade robe and got up, said something to Ji Ye, and then quietly withdrew from the table.Ji Xiamo followed Qin Yan out of the watchtower and walked to the deserted imperial garden.

"You're the commander of the internal guards, so you're sneaking away." Ji Xiamo shook off the snow on her shoulders, and leaned against the porch to tease Qin Yan.

"The commander of the inner guard talks about prestige, but he is actually a idle job." Qin Yan took out a food box from his sleeve and handed it to Ji Xiamo. "The imperial chef's special lotus seed cake is usually only for the emperor."

Ji Xiamo twirled the lotus seed cake and tasted it. It was soft and glutinous, and the lotus fragrance was sweet, and it was indeed much more delicious than the palace banquet. "You even dare to steal the emperor's food."

"Can you think of me?" Qin Yan rolled his eyes while holding the food box. "This was a reward from the emperor the day before yesterday, I am reluctant to eat what is left for you."

"Knowing that you treat me well, it's not in vain that I once protected you." Ji Xiamo smiled.

"You really think I'm stupid, you're the one who bullied me." Recalling the nonsense when he was young, Qin Yan couldn't hide his smile.

The lotus seed cake whetted Ji Xiamo's appetite, and Qin Yan put away the rest because he was afraid that Ji Xiamo would accumulate food. "You take the lotus seed cake back home, and if you want to eat it later, I'll send it to you."

"Didn't you say it's only for the emperor, don't really steal it." Ji Xiamo took out a handkerchief to wipe her hands.

"I can't steal the lotus seed cake, but I can still deal with the imperial chef who makes the lotus seed cake." Qin Yan glanced at the snowy night outside the corridor, took off the cloak and put it on Ji Xiamo.

When Ji Xiamo saw that Qin Yan was only wearing a black gold inner guard robe, he frowned and wanted to refuse. Qin Yan forced Ji Xiamo to wear it, "I am a martial arts practitioner, but I am more resistant to freezing than you."

Qin Yan adjusted his internal energy to show Ji Xiamo, and Ji Xiamo was moved by Qin Yan's kindness and did not refuse again. "I have a friend from Jianghu who is coming after the year, and I will introduce you to him then." Thinking of Chu Lingyou and Fang Linjun, Ji Xiamo said to Qin Yan.

"Where are the friends from the rivers and lakes?" Qin Yan asked.

"Chu Lingyou, the leader of the Jianghu alliance, Lin Jun, the master of the hidden dragon."

"Although I haven't traveled to the rivers and lakes, I have heard a little about the rivers and lakes. These two are masters in the rivers and lakes." Chu Lingyou's eyes flashed brightly. "I'm going to have to compete with them."

"Currently there is civil strife in the imperial city, and Chu Lingyou and Fang Linjun have complicated backgrounds, and they will have to conceal their identities."

"I understand these." Qin Yan assured, patted his chest.

Ji Xiamo chatted with Qin Yan, feeling that Ji Ye would be worried after leaving for a long time, Ji Xiamo was going to return to the watchtower.

Just as Ji Xiamo was about to go back, he suddenly heard screams coming from the imperial garden.Qin Yan resolutely drew his sword to protect Ji Xiamo. Ji Xiamo stared at it, and weeping sounded in the dark imperial garden.

Ji Xiamo walked towards the sobbing sound, and Qin Yan followed Ji Xiamo closely.Walking around the rockery pavilion, I saw the maid in palace costume lying on the ground, crying with her face covered.

The oil paper lantern flickered with dim candlelight, and through the candlelight, Ji Xiamo saw a female corpse frozen in ice and snow floating in the lotus pond.

Ji Xiamo's eyes sharpened sharply. The female corpse was also a maid in palace costume, her hair was covered with bruises, and there was a bloody bruise on her neck, as if she had been brutally severed by a sharp weapon.

Qin Yan dragged Ji Xiamo behind him, and said in a cold voice, "Come here!!"

The inner guards of the palace broke the ice and salvaged the female body, and candles were lit in the deserted imperial garden. The inner guards monitored and guarded the surroundings, and the momentum was tense and heavy.

The body of the female corpse was livid and stiff, her hair in the palace dress was covered with icicles, and her eyes were staring wide open.Qin Yan frowned and looked at the female corpse, and said in a suppressed voice, "This is the maid in the Queen's Palace."

Ji Xiamo approached the female corpse and squatted down to check the characteristics of the corpse. "The muscles are stiff and the joints are fixed. There are no corpse spots in the ice lake where the corpse was thrown. It is roughly estimated that the time of death is two hours."

"The fatal wound was cut with a sharp weapon on the neck. The wound was rough and uneven. The murderer was not a martial artist."

"The deceased had no other physical injuries other than the fatal neck injury. He was fatally shot by a single blow. The murderer was very strong. It was preliminarily determined that he was a man."

Ji Xiamo got up and took the handkerchief handed over by Qin Yan to wipe his hands, and paced around the lotus pond, "According to the wounds of the deceased, the murderer should have attacked from behind. This is where the crime occurred."

Ji Xiamo pushed aside the snow beside the lotus pond with her toes, her dark red blood had been frozen into ice.Qin Yan frowned and ordered the inner guard to "seal the imperial garden, store the corpse, and wait for the emperor to dispose of it."

"Yes!!"

"Commander Qin!" The inner guard ran into the imperial garden to salute. "Something happened to the emperor."

Qin Yan's pupils tightened, and Ji Xiamo hurried over, "Qin Yan!"

Qin Yan returned to his senses and hurriedly ordered the inner guards, "Leave four people to guard, and the rest of the inner guards will follow me."

"Yes! Commander Qin!"

When Ji Xiamo and Qin Yan rushed back to the inner hall, all the officials gathered and held their breaths in silence, only the emperor was absent in the inner hall.

Ji Xiamo walked up to Ji Ye and asked for details in a low voice, "Father, what happened."

Ji Ye dragged Ji Xiamo to an unoccupied corner, shook his head and sighed, "Just now the queen was watching the fireworks from the observatory, and the queen passed out for some reason."

"After waking up, she became mad and obsessed, yelling that there was a ghost. The emperor left in a rage, and the queen was forced to return to the harem."

Ji Xiamo frowned, the female corpse in the lotus pond in the imperial garden, the queen's bump into a 'ghost', these things seemed to be in time for the palace banquet tonight, it was too coincidental.

Ji Xiamo scanned the inner hall with his eyes, but he couldn't see Qin Yan on the left or right. Ji Xiamo was worried that Qin Yan would bump into the emperor. After thinking about it for a while, he turned around and quietly left the inner hall, and the inner guard asked in a low voice, "Hurry up and tell Qin Yan, tonight Be sure not to mention the case of the female corpse in the lotus pond in the imperial garden to the emperor."

The inner guard who followed Qin Yan had met Ji Xiamo, and after listening to Ji Xiamo's request, he nodded and said, "Yes, this subordinate will notify Commander Qin immediately."

Ji Xiamo followed Ji Yehou in the inner hall, and about half an hour later, the dandelion next to the emperor came to announce the decree, the palace banquet ended early, and the officials were sent back from the palace.

After all the officials knelt down to thank Shengen, they all left in a panic.When this incident happened in the palace, the emperor was furious. If someone got into trouble, it would be hard to save his head.

Before leaving the palace, Ji Xiamo and the Xian Wang met on a narrow road. The Xian Wang looked at Ji Xiamo with cold eyes and sneered coldly, "I heard that Mr. Ji is very clever and enlightened. I will let this king see it sometime."

"The virtuous king Miao praised." Ji Xiamo bowed her hands and humbled herself. "There are rumors and jokes that the grassroots dare not be."

"Whether it is rumored that this king will make his own decision." Xian Wang stared at Ji Xiamo for a while, then turned and left.

"The virtuous king is cruel and vicious, so you must not be careful." Ji Ye said worriedly.

"It's okay, dad." Ji Xiamo smiled while holding Ji Ye's arm. "go home."

"Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, let your mother make dumplings for you."

"Don't forget the New Year's money. The New Year's money can suppress the bad luck of the coming year. Dad can't be stingy."

"Money fan." Ji Ye shook his head and laughed.

After returning home, Ji Ye urged Ji Xiamo to go to bed. Ji Xiamo was exhausted after running around all day, and his body was also tired. After returning to Meiyuan, he asked Qingmu to light the stove, and lay down early.

The next day was New Year's Eve, Ji Xiamo missed Qin Yan in the palace, so he wrote a letter to the general's residence.Ask Qin Yan to suppress the case of the female corpse in the lotus pond in the imperial garden, and report it to the emperor after the Chinese New Year.

The prime minister's mansion hung red silk and satin lanterns, Ji Yikui dragged Ji Xiamo to stick to the door god, Ji Xiamo held the hand warmer and directed Ji Yikui, Ji Yikui held the door god on tiptoe, annoyed that she was not tall enough.

The sound of firecrackers continued, and the whole imperial city was shrouded in the atmosphere of the New Year.The maids and servants in the Prime Minister's Mansion put on new clothes, happily carrying the purchased New Year's goods, preparing for tonight's New Year's Eve dinner and ancestor worship.

Ji Xiamo looked at the mansion, lightly holding the ring on his neck with his fingers, thoughts and melancholy flashed in his eyes. ' Another year has passed. '

On the New Year's Eve reunion night, Ji Xiamo first followed Ji Ye to sacrifice to the ancestors of the Ji family, and then had a New Year's Eve dinner to celebrate the New Year.

After offering sacrifices to the ancestors, the New Year's Eve dinner started, and the servants who served the night watch set up another table and sat down. This was Su Jingyao's tolerance. If you can't have a reunion in the New Year, you always have to eat a hot meal.

While eating the steaming dumplings, Ji Xiamo kowtowed to Ji Yikui to celebrate the New Year, Ji Ye and Su Jingyao gave red envelopes with a smile, Ji Yikui cheered happily, and Ji Xiamo also showed a smile.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, Ji Xiamo was weak, so Ji Ye exempted him from keeping the New Year's Eve and asked him to go back to Meiyuan to rest.

After dismissing the serving servants, Ji Xiamo put on a cloak and sat down against the threshold, staring at the red plums in the snowy night, the longing and loneliness in his heart became more and more intense.

Lou Yin appeared next to Ji Xiamo, leaned against the red pillar in front of the porch with his sleeves rolled up, looked at Mei Lin and said, "It will be spring after the Chinese New Year, so your illness won't recur frequently."

Ji Xiamo lowered her eyelids, took out a red envelope and handed it to Lou Yin, "Lou Yin, Happy Chinese New Year."

Seeing the faint smile in Ji Xiamo's eyes unexpectedly, Lou Yin stretched out his hand and took the red envelope in embarrassment, "This is..."

"New year's money." Ji Xiamo smiled.

"It's useless for me to ask for money." Lou Yin said coldly, turned away from looking at Ji Xiamo, and said in a very soft voice, "Happy New Year."

"Lou Yin, thank you." Ji Xiamo looked at Lou Yin seriously and said, "Thank you for doing so much for me."

"You don't need to thank me." Lou Yin didn't look at Ji Xiamo, and his voice was indifferent. "You have kindness to me, not to mention you are my apprentice."

"You have helped me a lot. Without your company, maybe I wouldn't be able to survive at all."

"If you really want to thank me." Lou Yin turned his head to look at Ji Xiamo, and there seemed to be a lingering light in his deserted eyes. "Then live well."

"..." Ji Xiamo. "Lou Yin, tell me the truth, brother Jin...is he really alive?"

Ji Xiamo sat leaning against the threshold, looking at the snow under the steps in front of the porch with dim eyes.

"I don't know" Lou Yin didn't dare to say this sentence, the belief that can support Ji Xiamo's life is Jin Wuji, Lou Yin is very afraid that this last straw will disappear, and Ji Xiamo will feel ashamed.

After a long silence, Lou Yin turned and disappeared into the plum forest.

"He died and I will bring the body back to you." So before that, please live.

[Text Episode 148 Going Home]

Years later, Qin Yan came to the prime minister's mansion to pay New Year's greetings. After kneeling down to worship Ji Ye and receiving the New Year's money, Qin Yan dragged Ji Xiamo to Meiyuan to rest.

Ji Xiamo leaned on the soft bed by the stove, and ordered the Qingmu House to wait outside.Qin Yan untied his cloak and sat down at random, "Your room is warmer than the royal study in the palace."

"I'm weak and afraid of the cold." Ji Xiamo brewed hot tea and handed it to Qin Yan. "The tribute tea in the palace is usually difficult to drink."

"I'm a rough man who practices martial arts, and I don't know how to be arty in chess, painting, poetry, and tea." Qin Yan took a teacup, Xue Ji Xia Mo, and sipped it slightly.

Ji Xiamo shook his head with a faint smile, and quietly drank the tea in the cup. Ji Xiamo rubbed the fan pendant with his fingertips, and the smile on the corner of his mouth restrained. "Well, what's the problem?"

Qin Yan's movements stopped and his expression became slightly stiff. Ji Xiamo poured tea from the pot, and the hazy heat blurred Ji Xiamo's indifference. "When did I see you so eager to pay New Year's greetings in previous years? Could it be that the case of the female corpse in the lotus pond in the imperial garden was not covered?"

"I knew I couldn't hide it from you." Qin Yan put down his cup and sighed. "Today I'm here to pay New Year's greetings to Uncle Ji, with the emperor's oral order."

Ji Xiamo's pupils tightened, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "Is the oral order from the Prime Minister's Mansion or mine?"

"When the emperor visited the queen, he passed by the imperial garden. He heard the maid on duty talking about the case of the female corpse in the lotus pond in the imperial garden. After asking about the case, he became furious and ordered to find out the truth of the case."

Ji Xiamo frowned and noticed something strange. "The case of the female corpse in the lotus pond in the imperial garden was not only the court lady who discovered the corpse, but also the inner guard under your command was present at the time. After you blocked the news of the case, who revealed it."

"It's a coincidence that the emperor heard about this while passing through the Imperial Garden." Ji Xiamo recalled the incident during the palace banquet, the female corpse in the Imperial Garden, and the queen's encounter with a ghost.

Qin Yan frowned with a serious expression, "It's really weird to hear you say that, as if someone is secretly manipulating the whole thing."

"Where's the emperor's oral order?" Ji Xiamo asked about the point that Qin Yan had forgotten.

"The emperor announces that you will enter the palace to investigate the case." Ji Xiamo frowned, and Qin Yan had no choice but to explain. "The Ministry of Criminal Justice in the imperial palace has too many restrictions. You have a gold medal with the characters of nine dragons and phoenix bestowed by the emperor, and you can have no scruples when investigating cases."

"The emperor sees that I will not live long if I am sick, so I will be castrated and castrated when facing the concubines in the harem." Ji Xiamo sneered ironically.

"Don't say bad things during the Chinese New Year." Qin Yan got up and shouted angrily. "Take medicine when you are sick. Those imperial doctors in the palace can always find a way to heal you. I am still waiting to drink with you and race horses."

"It's the age to marry a wife and start a family, why are you still being self-willed like a child." Ji Xiamo rubbed his brows and said. "Can you still live forever if you take medicine? Even fairy medicine doesn't have this effect."

"If you continue to say such nonsense, I will never marry a wife and start a family in this life."

"What are you going to do if you don't marry a wife and start a family?" Ji Xiamo looked at Qin Yan teasingly.

Qin Yan's face was swollen, his eyes were wide open, and he sternly said, "I'll shave my hair and become a monk."

Ji Xiamo's laughter couldn't hide his joy, and Qin Yan said angrily, "I dare to do what I say. If you, Ji Xiamo, dare to belittle your life, I will shave your family. If you live, I will protect you in this life. If you die, I will take care of you." Go and pray for you."

Ji Xiamo looked at the furious Qin Yan in a daze, and the warm current passed through her heart, leaving her moved.Ji Xiamo lowered her eyes and smiled, "Thank you, Qin Yan."

"You, Ji Xiamo, are my Qin Yan's brother." Qin Yan's expression was serious.

"Did the emperor tell me when to enter the palace?" Ji Xiamo changed the subject.

"The day after tomorrow." Qin Yan comforted Ji Xiamo and said, "I will accompany you after entering the palace, and the palace guards are at your disposal."

"You are not allowed to say these words after entering the palace." Ji Xiamo told Qin Yan helplessly. "The inner guard is like a sword in the emperor's hand, which can only be held by the emperor."

Qin Yan had a headache when he mentioned matters involving the political power. He was convinced that Ji Xiamo would never harm him, so Qin Yan nodded without hesitation. "I listen to you."

Ji Xiamo looked out of the window, and murmured as if feeling emotional, "The imperial city must be lively in the New Year."

"The lantern and lion dance fireworks are the same every year..." Qin Yan choked on the words he blurted out. He remembered that Ji Xiamo hadn't seen outside for a long time.

Looking at Ji Xiamo's thin and pale face, Qin Yan hesitated to speak, and finally gritted his teeth in silence and said, "Xia Mo, let me take you out to play."

Ji Xiamo looked at Qin Yan unexpectedly, and then smiled expectantly. "Sneak out quietly?"

"Yeah." Seeing Ji Xiamo's smile, Qin Yan thought it was worth it. Ji Ye was very strict with Ji Xiamo, and they had to sneak away if they wanted to figure out the prime minister's residence.

Ji Xiamo put on a warm cloak, and then sent Aoki away on the pretext of wanting to eat peach cakes.Qin Yan took Ji Xiamo away from Meiyuan, sneaked away from the servants in the mansion, and sneaked away from the backyard of the mansion over the wall.

Fleeing from the Prime Minister's Mansion and walking to the street, recalling the guilty conscience of being thieves just now, Ji Xiamo and Qin Yan couldn't help laughing, it seemed a bit like going back to the nonsense when they were young.

The winter night came quickly, and the setting sun dyed half of the sky red. Ji Xiamo was walking in the busy street, looking at the street vendors shouting next to him, with a warm smile in his cold eyes.

"Xia Mo." Qin Yan handed the stinky tofu to Ji Xiamo. "Your favorite food ever."

Ji Xiamo smiled and rolled his eyes, pointed his finger at the people who were peeking around, and said, "Isn't it a joke for you to buy stinky tofu in the official uniform of the commander of the palace guard?"

"Can they go to the emperor and sue me?" Qin Yan laughed. "It's still hot just out of the pan, eat it quickly before it gets cold."

Ji Xiamo took the stinky tofu from Qin Yan's hand, and babbled helplessly to Qin Yan, "Now that you are an official of the imperial court, you must have official authority."

"Why are you like my father?" Qin Yan pouted to interrupt Ji Xiamo.

"Can I give birth to a son like you?" Ji Xiamo retorted.

"You..." Qin Yan stared at Ji Xiamo, and then both of them laughed.Qin Yan approached Ji Xiamo and led him away from the crowd. "Follow me closely, the people don't get separated at night."

"it is good."

Qin Yan took Ji Xiamo out of the crowded street and came to the stone arch bridge.All kinds of lanterns are floating in the lake, which at first glance look like scattered stars, warming the cold snowy night in the imperial city.

Ji Xiamo twirled the goldfish lantern in his hand, and Qin Yan followed beside him with a hand full of Ji Xiamo's shopping.Qin Yan didn't complain about the dignified commander of the inner guard of the palace reduced to a servant.Ji Xiamo was willing to order him around, and he was glad that his youthful relationship with Ji Xiamo remained unchanged.

"Xia Mo, do you want to buy a river lantern and put it in the lake to make a wish?" Qin Yan approached Ji Xiamo and asked.

Ji Xiamo glanced at the lake and refused coldly. "I don't believe that."

Once went to Li Jiumen Rivers and Lakes Ranking Tournament, and the lantern petitioned him and Jin Wuji to hold the hand of their son and grow old together. Life, death, illness and pain will not be separated from the king, but in the end they still parted.

Ji Xiamo handed the goldfish lantern to Qin Yan, walked to the mask stand by the lake bank, and showed Qin Yan a painting of a dramatic mask.Qin Yan decisively took out the money and "buy!"

"I didn't say I would." Ji Xiamo's eyes behind the face showed a sly light.

"I'm not short of money, don't worry about it, just treat it as something I bought for you." Qin Yan patted his pocket domineeringly with a 'trench' on his forehead.

"I bought these but it doesn't mean I like them." Ji Xiamo deliberately made things difficult for Qin Yan.

"Then I will take over this street, there will always be someone who can please you."

"You prodigal son, you have to keep a low profile when you're a corrupt official." Ji Xiamo teased with the mask still in Qin Yan's arms.

"I'll accept gifts from my colleagues. Anyway, I'm not asked to do anything. Who would make trouble with Yinzi?" Qin Yan opened his eyes and looked at Ji Xiamo innocently. "Isn't this what you taught me before?"

Ji Xiamo looked at Qin Yan silently for a while, reached out and patted Qin Yan's shoulder and said deeply, "Young children can be taught."

"Actually, it's just to be thick-skinned." Qin Yan said with a smile.

Wandering on the shore of the lake, Ji Xiamo chatted and laughed with Qin Yan, and sometimes stopped in front of the vendors, touching and admiring folk gadgets.

As long as there are lanterns, there are naturally lantern riddles. Qin Yan made a lot of jokes by making random guesses among the lantern riddles, causing the passing girls to cover their mouths and laugh.Ji Xiamo covered his face, feeling ashamed, and secretly helped Qin Yan guess the answer to the lantern riddle, so as not to embarrass him again.

Although Qin Yan is a martial artist, he is also the son of the general's mansion, the commander of the palace's internal guards, so Qin Yan's idiot can't be spread all over the imperial city tomorrow.

Qin Yan, who was addicted to vanity, followed Ji Xiamo and left with satisfaction. Seeing that the time was getting late, Qin Yan said to Ji Xiamo, "Sneaking out for so long, I think Uncle Ji is going crazy, let's go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. "

"You were the one who brought me out of the house, and you were the one who got beaten up." Ji Xiamo said that it had nothing to do with him.

"I'm not afraid of being beaten. I'm used to being beaten by my father. I just hope that Uncle Ji won't let me enter the prime minister's mansion again."

"I..." Ji Xiamo was about to say more, when suddenly there was a scream from the street around the corner. "Help, murder!"

The shrill screams made the street immediately chaotic. Qin Yan's expression turned sharp, and he pulled Ji Xiamo to the corner, and said in a deep voice, "Wait for me here, I'll be right back."

Ji Xiamo wanted to grab Qin Yan, but Qin Yan had already rushed towards the screams.Ji Xiamo lowered his eyes and clenched his hands in his sleeves.

Just after the new year, the crowds in the imperial city were surging, and there must be officers and soldiers patrolling the imperial city. How could there be thieves stupid enough to kill people in the street.Was Qin Yan deliberately lured away because of Qin Yan, or Ji Xiamo?

Ji Xiamo raised his dark eyes and glanced at the people who were running around in a panic. He suddenly saw a man in black in the crowd, his gloomy eyes were gleaming fiercely, and the cold light of sharp blades could be seen faintly in his sleeves.

Several men in black approached Ji Xiamo, and Ji Xiamo's eyes flashed with anger. 'Looks like someone wants his life. '

Ji Xiamo decisively turned around and squeezed into the crowd, trying to stay as far away from the men in black as possible.Crowded crowds are the most likely to commit crimes, and they cannot escape from the front and back, and there is no way to resist when a dagger is stabbed into the body, and the enemy cannot be found.

Qin Yan quickly rushed to the location of the screams, but there was nothing unusual in the crowded street. Qin Yan's mind was spinning, and suddenly his pupils dilated and his body was cold. He turned around and scrambled into the crowd. 'Ji Xiamo! ! '

Ji Xiamo squeezed out of the crowd and fled at a faster pace, followed by men in black who kept chasing after them, and the number increased.

Ji Xiamo was forced to go to an empty and deserted street, far away from the bustling and noisy main street of the imperial city, where it was as quiet as a dead tomb.

Ji Xiamo's body is already weak, and he was tired after messing around with Qin Yan for so long, and was chased by the men in black. Ji Xiamo now feels weak and exhausted, his chest is suffocating and painful, his head is dizzy and blurred, and he can't see the reality in front of him clearly. .

Ji Xiamo leaned against the wall and watched the men in black approaching. His sober mind allowed him to plan various countermeasures. When he came out, he was anxious that he didn't bring a talisman or weapon. If these men in black attacked by force, he could only use magic weapons.

Ji Xiamo only uses his weapon to subdue demons. If it is contaminated with mortal blood, it may cause karma, but Ji Xiamo doesn't care about other things in order to save his life.

The men in black surrounded Ji Xiamo from front to back. Ji Xiamo calmly looked at the black-clothed assassin in front of him, and said calmly without any fear, "Who are you and why did you assassinate me?"

"Ji Xiamo, don't make a mistake in front of the King of Hell's palace." The man in black shouted loudly, raised his sword and stabbed at Ji Xiamo.

Ji Xiamo staggered under his feet to dodge narrowly, and the raised cloak was cut by the sword of the man in black, and the fox fur on the neckline was scattered in front of the blade.

Ji Xiamo slammed his back against the wall, he groaned in pain, his face turned pale.Seeing the sword stabbing again, Ji Xiamo's palms were filled with golden light, ready to sacrifice the magic weapon at any time.

Just as the blade was about to pierce Ji Xiamo's throat, the sword energy suddenly cut across the neck of the man in black.

The surrounding men in black were vigilant, but the master hidden in the darkness didn't give them a chance to escape, and the sharp sword energy cut the lives of all the assassins.

The corpse fell to the ground, dark blood slowly flowed and gathered, and the smell of blood in the air gradually became stronger.Snowflakes fell again, melting in the blood that was getting colder.

The flying snow is getting heavier and heavier, as if it wants to cover this simple but bloody killing.

Ji Xiamo leaned against the cold wall, staring blankly at the man in blue who was gradually walking towards the wind and snow in the darkness.

The plain blue clothes and the pitch-black iron sword are as deep and resolute as his master.The harsh facial features are serious, and the cold black eyes linger in the darkness with a gloomy coolness.

After parting in life, and reuniting again, the lover in front of me still seems to have met for the first time.

Su Lan's figure stopped in front of Ji Xiamo, stroking Ji Xiamo's cheek with her cold palm, depicting his facial features that he thought about day and night.

"I lost weight." The deep and hoarse voice remained unchanged only the gentleness it once had when it came back from the dream.

The heavy snow whitened each other's long hair, and Ji Xiamo stretched out her trembling hands, trying to touch the man's face in front of her, but finally landed on his chest, tightly grabbing the man's neckline.

The pain of the old injury in the body is not worth the heartache, and the heartache is not as painful as the man in front of him brought him.The thin and trembling body was held in the arms of the man, all the pain left was suffocating sobs.

Countless days and nights of nightmares, tears and longings have turned into tears in this heavy snow.Ji Xiamo tugged at the man's collar tremblingly, and slowly buried her face in his chest, whimpering like a cub who had been away from home for several years.

"Why did you come back now?"

"Do you know how scared I am by myself?"

"Brother Jin..."

[Text Episode 149 The Warmth of Reunion]

Ji Xiamo sneaked out of the mansion and Ji Ye was in a hurry, so he sent the servants in the mansion to search all over the city, and almost alerted the patrolling guards of the imperial city.

Ji Xiamo and Qin Yan returned home late at night, and Ji Xiamo was naturally caught by Ji Ye to teach him a lesson. Ji Ye angrily scolded Ji Xiamo for his nonsense.Qin Yan shrank his head and didn't dare to make a sound, obediently asked Ji Ye to vent his anger.

Ji Xiamo explained that he and Qin Yan went to Lilefang to listen to an opera, and they lost track of the time when they were fascinated by the chat, and did not mention the danger of being assassinated at all.

If Ji Ye knew about the assassin, he would definitely let the Ministry of Criminal Justice intervene in the investigation. It is a secret to go to the palace to investigate the case, and if there is a disturbance, the emperor might be suspicious.

What's more, it was Qin Yan's instigation to leave the mansion. If Ji Ye vented his anger after this incident, Qin Yan estimated that it would be difficult to enter the prime minister's mansion to see him in the future.

Perhaps Qin Yan also thought of this, and buried his head in letting Ji Ye blame him, not daring to refute a word.

With a good attitude of admitting his mistakes, Ji Xiamo finally coaxed the furious Ji Ye away. After half a day of playing, another thrilling assassination, Ji Xiamo's body was sore and tired, and he rested on the soft pillow.

Qin Yan clenched his fists and blamed himself all over his face, "It's all my fault. It was my stupidity that was plotted by the traitor and put you in danger."

"Even if those assassins don't succeed today, they will always try again. It's nothing to do with you if I offended someone." The soup on the charcoal stove was steaming, and Ji Xiamo felt the pain in his chest eased a bit by smelling the fragrance of the medicine in the room.

"I will investigate the identity of those assassins, you don't have to worry." Qin Yan promised.

"Leave the matter of the assassin to the patrolling guards of the imperial city, and you are not allowed to interfere any more." Ji Xiamo interrupted what Qin Yan was about to say, and his dark pupils flashed fiercely. "Don't swim in this muddy water, you only need to think about the case of the female corpse in the lotus pond in the imperial garden."

Qin Yan protested silently with a sullen face, and Ji Xiamo threw the orange beside the pillow over, "Don't play tricks on me, it's late at night and hurry back to the house, and I want Uncle Qin to worry about you."

Qin Yan held the orange thrown by Ji Xiamo, his cold face softened a little, "Don't forget to take your medicine, I'll pick you up later."

Watching Qin Yan leave the house, Ji Xiamo's expression gradually faded, and he bent over and covered his mouth to suppress his cough.The pain in his body made him tremble, and his face was pale and terrifying.

A black shadow flashed to Ji Xiamo and squatted down in front of the window, hugged Ji Xiamo and helped him along his back, his dark and deep black eyes were filled with distress and pain.

"It's not a problem, it's just that I ran so fast that my body was invaded by the cold air." Ji Xiamo leaned weakly against Jin Wuji, with a pale smile on his lips.

Jin Wuji caressed Ji Xiamo's skinny cheeks. How could the skinny young man still look soft and delicate?The arrogant and proud eyebrows have been replaced by sickness and weakness, as if he could die at any time.

"How could you be so sick?" Jin Wuji's trembling voice was full of pain and self-blame.

Ji Xiamo wanted to comfort Jin Wuji, but the scarlet sweetness overflowing from his throat made him silent, pointing at the medicine jar, "Bring me the medicine."

Jin Wuji tucked Ji Xiamo's quilt tightly, as if he couldn't feel the heat, he quickly went to the medicine jar and poured the medicine into the bowl.Holding Ji Xiamo in his arms, he used his internal energy to dissipate the heat of the soup and then fed it to Ji Xiamo.

After drinking the decoction, the pain eased, and Ji Xiamo leaned in Jin Wuji's arms, quietly watching the burning candles in the room.
