my demon

Xiao Yan has brought He Changan and the servants leading the way all the way to the water pavilion at the back, which has already been tidied up. The water pavilion faces the water on three sides, and you can lean on the railing on the corridor to watch the lake view.Xiao Yan took off his outer robe and changed his clothes, lying on the couch sideways, took the jade bowl in He Changan's hand, drank the perilla and licorice soup in it, and leaned on the couch, He Changan said cautiously: "Your Majesty Why don't you rest for a while? The little ones are waiting outside the door, just say what you have."

Since having a lich, he likes to be alone, and He Changan obviously felt the change in himself, so he was considerate, Xiao Yan nodded.

He Changan led the servants back out, and carefully put down the bamboo and gauze curtains around the pavilion. The room was darkened, but the fragrance of flowers from all around was still blowing in with the wind. There are guests laughing everywhere, and the sound of Sheng Xiao seems to be absent, which makes the pavilion seem more leisurely and quiet.

Xiao Yan leaned on the soft couch with half-closed eyes, pulled a thin blanket, and spoke to the Lich in his heart with a smile: "The palace is busy today, but I rarely have time to spare. The Empress Dowager will definitely stay with Cheng Enhou's family later. I will have to be dragged away for dinner, if you have nothing to do, you can go shopping in the market."

The Lich said: "It's okay, I just have free time today, let me draw you a map of the neighborhood outside, didn't you want to see it before?"

Xiao Yan was stunned, remembering that it was the first time when the Lich took him out, he asked Xiaoer for a map, but at that time most of the common people were illiterate, so they couldn't buy it, but he didn't expect the Lich to remember it.Can't help but iron in my heart: "Can you draw pictures?"

A whirlwind turned on the flat ground, and the room suddenly became cold. Xiao Yan had drank some wine and felt hot and dry. Feeling the cool wind of snowflakes made him feel very comfortable.The phantom of the lich has appeared on the high table next to the window on the side of the soft couch, where there are pens, ink, paper and inkstones.

The Lich picked out a roll of thick peach blossom paper, but did not put it on the table. A gust of breeze picked it up and spread it on the wool blanket on the ground. This kind of paper is very thick, and it is specially provided by the palace. It is smooth and white, and it is not easy to smudge. Ink, a piece of paper is four feet square, very suitable for drawing large maps.

The Lich didn't take the writing brush on the table, but with a slight flick of his bone palm, a slender and white quill suddenly appeared on the paper, and began to draw automatically. The pen holder seemed to be made of silver, and of course it might be the so-called "magic" Mithril".

Xiao Yan opened his eyes wide: "What kind of pen is this?"

The Lich said: "The magic pen made of griffin feathers, many people use this to draw the magic circle, which can help improve the accuracy of the magic circle."

Xiao Yan looked at the clear and dark lines drawn by the quill pen on the white paper, and he drew the blueprint accurately and neatly. The whole blueprint was extremely detailed, and the shapes of the buildings were lifelike, corresponding to what he had seen one by one.

He held his breath: "It's really... amazing."

But in a short time, the fast-floating quill has already drawn a quarter of the map, and the marks on the map are also clear.

Xiao Yan squatted down beside the paper and looked at the entire map of the capital in fascination. He watched a cup of tea, and suddenly felt that the room was too stuffy, his body was hot, and his mouth was dry. When he got up, he felt dizzy and his body swayed. Lich stretched out his hand to support him, half-embracing him and pushed him onto the couch: "Is it still not enough exercise, lack of energy and blood?"

Xiao Yan felt the icy aura on Lich's body, and he only felt refreshed, but he also felt very attached to Lich's half-hugging, his skin was very sensitive to the cool wind, and he only wanted to be hugged by Lich for a while longer... Suddenly, his heart trembled, and he realized: "No! There is something in the tea!"

He gasped and gritted his teeth: "Zhuzi!" He Changan!His anger went straight to his forehead, and he felt that the medicine was churning more and more, and it went straight to his abdomen. His face was red, and his hands trembled slightly.

Lich was stunned, and waved his hand to put away the map on the ground first, while reaching out to touch Xiao Yan's forehead, Xiao Yan felt that ice jade-like bone hand covering his forehead, which refreshed his mind, he He stretched out his hand to hold the cold bone wrist to make himself more awake: "It's a forbidden drug to add to the fun, you have a solution——no, it's too late, first find a way to get me out of here."

Light footsteps have been heard from the front porch, rings jingling, obviously women's footsteps.

The Lich quickly reacted, picked Xiao Yan up, took out a Magic Gate magic talisman and pressed it against the wall, leading Xiao Yan through the Magic Gate to the back of the wall, and behind the wall was a wide and calm lake. But when the Lich suddenly appeared on the water with Xiao Yan in his arms, the water suddenly froze into ice.

The Lich crossed the lake step by step from the ice, walked to the opposite side, found a stone to sit on, let Xiao Yan lean on his lap, and asked him in a low voice: "Are you okay? Are you sane?"

Xiao Yan gritted his teeth and said, "Fortunately, I might need some ice water..." He couldn't speak, but felt extremely ashamed.

But the Lich took a crystal bottle and pushed the cork to his lips: "Take it."

Xiao Yan took the crystal medicine bottle and knew that this was not the time to be hypocritical. He opened his mouth, and as the sweet medicine flowed into the esophagus, a burst of coolness spread quickly, his whole body was refreshed, his mind was sober and focused, and his body The hotness was completely dispelled in an instant, and he was a little shocked: "What is this?"

The lich felt that the boy's body on his lap had calmed down, and reached out to touch Xiao Yan's forehead: "The holy will potion, refined by the church, can be immune to charm, fear, coma and other magic, it seems that here Also useful."

Xiao Yan was a little shocked and regretful: "Ah, it's a very precious potion, right?"

Seeing that his sanity, facial expression, body temperature and heartbeat have returned to normal, the Lich explained: "It's nothing, I used it when I was a human mage, and the dead soul body is useless. I used to have a good friend who was a pharmacist from the church. A lot of medicine—a lot of materials I collected for him.”

He could still recall the formula of the holy will potion. It was said to be holy, but the medicinal materials used in it were all the medicinal materials from the land of the dead, the dragon skin from the land of fire, the plague flower seeds, the hair of the succubus, the scales of the mermaid, the most important thing. It is the soul fire of the abyss bone dragon.

But Xiao Yan thought in his heart that he must be a very good friend, so even though it was useless to him, he still cherished these handmade gifts and stored them in his magic space. .

Xiao Yan didn't ask any more questions, just stood up slowly, straightened his robes: "I have to go to the banquet in front, otherwise they can force me to plant some rich lady, as long as I can't explain the disappearance Where is the time?"

The Lich nodded, his figure faded away, and he disappeared into the soul box.

Xiao Yan walked forward for a while, and met a small waiter in Tsing Yi who was holding a plate of Bingsu Mountain in his hand. As soon as his heart moved, he reached out and waved the waiter to stop. The waiter was the lowest-level errand waiter. It was the emperor, he knelt down in fright, Xiao Yan waved his hand and said: "No need, I'm very thirsty, you think I just came from the icehouse, and went back to bring me a pot of iced drink, I want iced ebony soup .”

The servant wanted to turn around, but Xiao Yan stretched out his hand to take the Bingsu Mountain from his hand: "Go and come back quickly, I am very thirsty."

The servant didn't dare to disobey, and hurriedly ran.

Xiao Yan watched him run away in a blink of an eye, and glanced at the Bingsu Mountain in his hand. It was made of cheese, ice and snowflake sugar, which were crushed and beaten into fine Bingsuzi, topped with honey, and dotted with cherry sour on the side. Cheese is a common snack in the palace, but he has always been "congenitally deficient", never touched ice, no matter how hot the weather is, he has never used ice.

He held the silver spoon on it with no expression on his face, and tasted it twice on the side of the road. Sure enough, it melted in the mouth, it was cold and sweet, and he dug a few more pieces and threw them into the lake beside him, not caring about wasting money.

After a while, the waiter ran over panting, seeing that more than half of the ice plate in Xiao Yan's hand was gone, he opened his eyes wide in surprise.

Xiao Yan passed the dish to the servant with a blank expression: "Let's go, follow me back to the table."

The waiter didn't dare to breathe, quickly took the plate, carried the pot of iced sour plum soup and followed him step by step, all the way back to the main banquet hall of Wanhui Garden, Xiao Yan sat back in his seat, he changed After taking off the clothes, the servants followed behind. Although the maid and the guests saw the emperor coming back, they only thought that the emperor had changed clothes and came back.

Xiao Yan signaled, and the little servant put the half-filled Cherry Bingsu Mountain in the crystal dish in front of the emperor, and quickly poured Xiao Yan a glass of iced sour plum soup.

Xiao Yan picked it up and drank it down, then signaled to the waiter to pour it down again, when the waiter was about to fall down, a voice sounded: "Your Majesty, although it is late spring, the weather is still cold, the emperor please take care of yourself, don't be greedy for cold."

Xiao Yan raised his head and glanced, but it was Gao Yuanling, the chief servant of the Sili Supervisor, who was staring at Xiao Yan: "Where did He Changan go? Why didn't he follow the emperor?"

Xiao Yan sneered in his heart, knowing that Gao Yuanling in front of him also had a part in today's scene, He Chang'an was originally Gao Yuanling's apprentice who was single-handedly picked up, how could he have the guts to put medicine in the food for the imperial court when he was obedient? Naturally, the ministers of the former court also bowed their hands and called out the chief envoy of "High Neixiang".

He just paused in his mouth, his eyes met Gao Yuanling for a moment and then moved away, his voice was a little low: "I am a little thirsty and hot today. He Dajian just waited for me to change clothes, and then I wanted to rest alone , so I didn’t ask him to wait on him, I thought he was on other errands.”

Gao Yuanling looked a little annoyed: "That kind of thing just happened in the palace. The empress dowager also ordered the emperor not to leave people around for a while, and wait for the servant to report to the empress dowager before going through the palace rules. It's just that you, the emperor, come from behind." Come back, why is there no one calling?"

He could tell at a glance that the maid in green was not the usual servant of Ziwei Palace, Xiao Yan only said: "Director Gao, please don't blame Superintendent He, I just fell asleep in a daze, and Supervisor He left me just thinking about it. Later, I was so thirsty Great, I just want to drink something iced when I got up, there is only hot tea in the pavilion, I remembered that there was an iced drink on the table, so I came back by myself, I thought it was just a few steps, it would be okay."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Gao Yuanling couldn't ask further questions. After all, the emperor is the master. As a slave, he didn't dare to interrogate the emperor in public. Not good, no matter how hot it is, don’t use ice, my servant ordered some cold melon to drink for the emperor, and I will ask the imperial doctor to show it to the emperor later.”

Xiao Yan said: "Emperor Jiang just invited Ping'an pulse yesterday, and he just said that it is good to take care of it quietly. I think it was warmed up after drinking a few glasses of wine today. It is much better now, but I am a little tired."

Gao Yuanling was full of doubts, so he could only stand back and stand, but at a glance, he saw He Chang'an walking from the lake with a lady from Huadao, his face was a little pale, and his eyes were flustered.That lady's face was like a silver plate, her lips were like vermilion spots, and she was wearing a crimson gauze, which made her skin white and plump, like suet jade.

Gao Yuanling was furious, stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Why didn't He Changshi follow the emperor? It made the emperor thirsty, looking for iced drinks everywhere by himself?"

He Chang'an's face turned pale, and he whispered a few words: "The emperor rested and fell asleep in the water pavilion just now, and the servant came out to pass on the clothes. When he saw this lady lost her way near the water pavilion, he frightened the holy car, and then Bring it here."

Gao Yuanling glared at the lady who was shivering like pear blossoms in the rain, secretly cursing in her heart that success was not enough but failure was more than failure, so she gave He Chang'an a hard look: "Why don't you hurry up and serve the emperor?"

He Chang'an knew that he had messed up his affairs, but he couldn't figure out how the emperor who drank the deer fetal wine came out of the water pavilion and returned to the banquet. Could it be that the medicine was taken lightly?That's right, the emperor was originally lacking in vitality, and he was still young, and he had to ensure that he would not hurt the dragon's body and add to the fun. This amount was really good... Also, the water pavilion faced water on three sides, and he brought four or five servants with him. Keeping at the door, will the emperor not be able to fly?
