Three poisons

When Ji Lianyue returned to the palace, the housekeeper stood at the door to pick him up, hesitant to speak, he just pretended he didn't see it, and went about his own business.

All the way into the house, he took off his cloak, wiped his face with a handkerchief, and waited for the servant to serve a hot breakfast, then he turned around and asked the butler unhurriedly: "How is the one next door? Is there any movement?"

"I came back last night, the general seems to have suffered some crimes, coming and going in and out of the yard..." The housekeeper hesitated to speak.

Ji Lianyue raised her eyebrows, she simply stopped asking, and asked the housekeeper to bring the cloak again, and then went to the next door with it on.

At this time, the sky was not yet fully lit, the snow fell on the eaves and made a broken sound, the general's mansion was carrying a lantern, but the surroundings were quiet, and there was a woman standing at the door of Huo Xian's house.

In Ji Lianyue's memory, this was probably the first time he saw Xie Sanlang in women's clothing, disarmed and put on rouge. It turns out that this is also a charming girl with a variety of charms——

The cold air made her face a little pale, the spy's chin was hidden in the fur collar of the cloak, her hands were tightly twisted together, and her eyes were a little confused and empty.

Ji Lianyue saw her as if she didn't see her, her steps hesitated a little at first, and she went straight forward to pass her by.

It's just that the closer he gets, the more he can see her shaking.

When the two were shoulder to shoulder, she seemed to have finally gathered all her courage and finally spoke.

"He had a high fever and no one took care of him in the middle of the night..."

Ji Lianyue paused, raised her eyebrows slightly, turned around and looked at her indifferently.

"The butler is looking for me," she took a deep breath, her voice was soft and delicate, almost being swallowed up in the wind and snow, "My lord, the general's mansion needs someone to take care of the general after all, today it's not me, it will be someone else—"

Her voice was interrupted when Ji Lianyue smiled.

She came from the countryside and didn't know too many fine words to describe a person's beauty, but she was also dazed at this moment.

"What's your name?"

she heard the man ask.

So she blushed, her birth name was "Xie Hongliu", she never felt that there was anything wrong with this name, but now in front of such a person, she felt a little unspeakable, so she hesitated a little, she just blessed her body, Said carefully: "The servant girl is called Xie Sanlang, and she is only called Xie Sanlang."

Ji Lianyue smiled, didn't say anything, just looked away, stretched out her hand on the door and was about to push it away, when she heard her hurriedly say: "General Huo always needs an heir."

"What did he say?"

"..."

Xie Sanlang didn't dare to lie, so she kept silent, but she didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said. The huge general's mansion needs a mistress and an heir... Since someone must come, it's better to be a passerby who killed halfway , why can't it be her?

Ji Lianyue knew what she meant, but just pretended not to understand, and lowered his eyes to the back of his hand on the doorknob, he smiled to himself.

Nothing else, but I accidentally thought that in a dream that day, when a man should be in full bloom, he resigned from his official position and retired from the world——

Power, status, gold and silver are like dust to him, and no one knows what he wants.

Huo Xian in the dream is also Huo Xian, they are one person.

"He was originally alone and walked alone. Now he is a general, and tomorrow he may be a farmer in the countryside." Ji Lianyue opened the door in front of him, her voice became a little deeper, "Miss Xie, please go back, A word of advice to you, don't put your heart on people who can't belong to you... You can't get anything in exchange for it except futile injury."

……

There is a charcoal pot burning in the house, which is very warm.

The man lying on the bed closed his eyes, and he didn't know whether he was asleep or passed out, but his complexion was really not very good, as pale as paper, and there was an abnormal blush on his cheeks...

There are bruises and newborn stubble under his eyes, and he looks haggard like never before, without the majesty of a general of gold and iron horse.

That's right, when this person was normal, he never needed a brazier.

Ji Lianyue sat down and kindly changed a veil on his forehead for him. As soon as the new veil was put on, the man opened his eyes.

Glancing at Ji Lianyue, he turned his head indifferently again.

Ji Lianyue: "?"

At the same time, Huo Xian had hallucinations again, and now he was a little annoyed that he didn't live up to it - this person bought and sold him to marry him, but then reconciled with him without any discussion, and was with others under his nose Talking and laughing, private meeting with old lover...

Let go of the old lover with the crime of decapitation, did he ever blink his eyes?

People like him...

Such a willful person.

He still thinks about him.

Huo Xian couldn't even explain what was wrong with him, he just turned away his face and closed his eyes for a while, then turned his head and found that his hallucinations were still there——

And this time there are some vivid expressions, looking annoyed, looking at himself as if looking at something that doesn't know how to praise...

She really looks a bit like Ji Lianyue herself.

Huo Xian laughed.

Ji Lianyue felt that this person was giving people a face, and he was laughing again after a while, it really seemed that his brain was burnt out.

After a while, I felt the man sitting up a little bit, beckoning to him, and said of course: "Come here."

Ji Lianyue raised his eyebrows in such an arrogant tone as if he was barking a puppy. He told himself that he couldn't argue with the patient, but he also forgot that his head was also wrapped in layers of gauze. A "patient", the whole person leaned over slowly——

Then a big hand clasped her wrist, the rough hand was extremely hot, Ji Lianyue was pulled to the man before she recovered, and fell into his arms.

The man's hand went all the way up his wrist, untied his cloak, pinched his slender chin and kneaded it for a while, chuckled lightly, and said in a hoarse voice, "Why is it so cold?"

After saying that, he went to touch his lips, the tip of his nose, his cheek...

Finally, the hand moved to the back of his head, clasping his head and pressing it towards him, with fingertips inserted into his dark hair, his scorching breath approached all of a sudden, and sprayed on the tip of Ji Lianyue's nose.

The hairs all over his body stood up all of a sudden, Ji Lianyue was forced to retreat by him, and said in a hoarse voice: "When I came! Xie Sanlang is outside the house."

"The housekeeper asked her to come, and I let her go out, but I didn't expect to leave." He forced him to approach him, the veil on his forehead fell off, and fell on the quilt with a moist temperature, his forehead was pressed against Ji Lian Yue rubbed it cautiously, "Does your head still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt."

"Ah."

The man let go of him, seeing him staring at him in a daze, as if he was a little silly... Smiling indifferently, he scratched the tip of his nose with his hand: "It would be great if you always obey me so well."

From the beginning to the end, he thought that this was just a dream born from a fever, that person should still be in the palace, and the old lover left, so he should stay there and solve the subsequent impact for him.

So the hand holding the "Phantom" in front of him was gradually loosened. After all, Huo Xian was still sick, his eyelids were heavy, and he couldn't hold it for a long time before he fell back on the bed... The wound on his shoulder may have been cracked, and there was a trace of it. The bloody sweetness spread around.

Ji Lianyue sat on the head of the bed, staring at Huo Xian with a strange expression on his face.

After thinking for a long time, he finally couldn't help asking: "Huo Xian, don't you like me?"

There was no response for a long time.

The hanging heart still fell heavily to the ground, Ji Lianyue looked at the man lying there with his eyes closed, bitterness filled his heart, and thought, forget it, how could this person understand——

"You say yes."

Ji Lianyue's pupils narrowed slightly, and she suddenly looked at the tired man lying there, he seemed to be talking to himself.

"If for a moment I feel that it is acceptable to spend my whole life with you in such a muddle without remembering your fame and ignoring the rivers and lakes... If this is 'like', then you like it."

"..."

"Ah Yue, forget about Lu Feng." His voice was so hoarse that it was almost torn, "I like you."

After he finished speaking, he seemed to be completely confused by the burning, and there was no more sound.

Ji Lianyue sat on the side of the couch and waited for a while, when his breathing really stabilized, then picked up the veil that fell on the quilt just now, soaked it in cold water again, wrung it dry, and put it on his forehead.

The carbon fire made a crackling sound in the charcoal basin.

The snow outside the window seemed to have stopped.
