my demon

Xiao Yan didn't know that Lich's "cure" turned out to be such a cure.He returned to the dormitory safely, and asked the servants to come in and put water on for a bath. All the personal servants who had just taken office breathed a sigh of relief.Everyone came in quietly and waited for the emperor to change his clothes, ignoring the blades of grass and fresh wet soil still on the emperor's boots.

After Xiao Yan changed his clothes, he touched the soul box on his chest. He fell asleep first, but he couldn't fall asleep.

He tossed and turned, thinking about something else, until he fell asleep dimly.

Waking up the next day, Xiao Yan went to touch the cold soul box first, and the Lich laughed: "I'm back, don't worry, it's cured."

Xiao Yan couldn't help but pursed the corners of his mouth that wanted to laugh: "Thank you."

He got up and changed his clothes, and asked him, "Is everything going well? Did Uncle Huang say anything?"

The Lich said: "It's going well, because there are many people who are treated at one time, so they are all asleep, so I will come back first, and when he returns to Beijing, he should come to thank you."

Xiao Yan thanked again: "Did you waste a lot of mana in this way?"

The Lich said: "No, it will be of great benefit to me."

Xiao Yan was satisfied now: "That's really great." He had breakfast under the service of the inner servant, and then went to the inner study hall, listening to lectures as usual.

It was almost noon, and someone came to report that Prince Duan had returned to Beijing, and asked to see the emperor, and handed over a thank-you note. Because the queen mother was ill, the prince told her not to disturb the queen mother, but to greet the emperor.

Xiao Yan met Xiao Ji in the Nuan Pavilion of the side hall of the Wenhua Hall, and seeing that his complexion was rosy and he was not sick, he was very pleased: "The emperor has worked tirelessly this time, patrolling the river, calming the epidemic area, and treating the victims. As far as I know, the court has discussed it specifically for the emperor's uncle's son before, and now the local plague has basically subsided, and the dredging of the river along the way is quite smooth, the people praise it, the ministers praise it, the emperor's uncle has worked hard all the way."

Wearing royal clothes, Xiao Ji took a deep look at the little emperor: "The minister is in the south of the Yangtze River. I heard that the emperor has made great progress. I just asked Ji Xiang. The emperor has already begun to personally approve the memorials. He has just mastered political affairs and is very good at spells." Talented, the wedding is imminent, and the government can be expected, the minister is very pleased with the emperor."

Xiao Yan showed a smile, Xiao Ji took so long to really look at this little emperor who seemed to be standing quietly beside the Empress Dowager Sun in the past, and found that although he was still as serious as before, this smile showed Some self-confidence that is different from before comes out.

This is a relaxed, unrestrained smile, Gu Pan's eyes are like two pills of black mercury, very agile and a little childish and shy, which is normal at his age, but Xiao Ji finally noticed that this It was the smile of a spoiled child, but not the smile of the little emperor who had been strictly controlled in his words and deeds.

Xiao Ji said again: "The minister handed over the Xie En Zhezi. The emperor is kind and loving, and he was blessed by the emperor's heaven. He sent a good doctor to dispel the plague and recovered his health. The minister is grateful and ashamed. From then on, he can only serve the country loyally and die. Already. It’s just that I misunderstood the doctor last night and was rude to the doctor who treated the disease. I wonder if I can let me see the witch doctor again and thank you in person?”

Xiao Yan was stunned: "Huh? You have conflicts?" He couldn't help but want to press the soul box on his chest, but he restrained himself.

The lich was silent.

However, Xiao Ji already knew from Xiao Yan's expression that the mysterious witch doctor must have not reported to the emperor, and said softly: "That witch doctor, I think it was recommended by An Guogong? Or the eldest princess? Can you let me see him again? "

Xiao Yan didn't speak, why didn't the lich tell himself that he had a conflict with Uncle Duanhuang?

Xiao Ji saw the indifferent and calm expression on the little emperor's face again, and knew that he had returned to the state of defense and vigilance.He sighed slightly: "The witch doctor suddenly appeared in the courtyard, and his whereabouts were strange and erratic. Although he held the emperor's edict, his actions and words were unpredictable, and his treatment methods were even more unimaginable. Coupled with some rumors from the previous court, it was rumored that An Guo The Duke and Consort Ouyang seem to be working for the Emperor, but the minister misunderstood him as a general under the Duke of An, and Xingye suddenly appeared with ulterior motives, so he said something to deceive the Lord, please forgive me."

Xiao Yan thought about it several times: "Mr. Wu... is a very good person, as long as the emperor's body recovers, don't worry about other things. I believe in the emperor's uncle, as always."

Xiao Ji said, "Your Majesty is young, and I am afraid that you will be too lenient than your subordinates. The king's way is turbulent, impartial and party-free, and the methods of witch doctors are unpredictable. Please be careful, Your Majesty."

Xiao Yan raised his eyes to see Xiao Ji's worried face, and said in a low voice, "I know."

Xiao Ji sighed, waved his hand and suddenly ordered everyone to go down, Xiao Yan looked at him puzzled, Xiao Ji saw that everyone had gone down, and then stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, I really hope that the Emperor really ordered people to surround and kill me last night. "

Xiao Yan didn't know what expression was on Xiao Yan's face, Xiao Ji said in a low voice: "The emperor kept a low profile and forbeared for many years. Last night was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The emperor will get rid of me, the assistant emperor's uncle, and unite with An Guogong and Ouyang's son-in-law. To stabilize the court situation, Prime Minister Ji and the Empress Dowager will only be able to help you. This is the thunderous method of the king, and Dayan will have successors."

"The emperor has kindness in his heart, and he really chose to save his minister."

Xiao Ji looked at Xiao Yan's young face: "On the contrary, this makes the ministers feel worried. I'm afraid that the emperor is young and soft, too lenient, and easy to be used by the powerful ministers. Now he uses witches to drive ghosts. All ghosts, human nature is gone. Ambiguous, temperamental, uncontrollable, if you are not careful, you will be backlashed. Therefore, in the past dynasties of your ancestors, nightmares and witchcraft were strictly forbidden, lest they bewitch people's hearts. Your Majesty, the lessons from the previous dynasties are vivid in my eyes. The emperor's taboo."

Xiao Yan was quiet for a while: "Uncle Huang, Mr. Wu is a good person."

Xiao Jidao: "Before the emperor moved slightly, the empress dowager was furious, but she couldn't find out who assisted the emperor to leave the palace. Last night, the imperial doctor Xiaojiang met the emperor and the witch in the wild, and the minister went back to the palace to inquire. No one came in or out, so it was the sorcerer who helped you out of the palace, right? And that cat, the servant of the forbidden palace was attacked by a cat before, is it the sorcerer cat?"

Xiao Yan was still silent, Xiao Ji stepped back and suddenly knelt down, prostrating and said: "If the emperor trusts the minister, the minister will repay it with death, and he will do his best to be loyal to the emperor. It's just that the witch doctor is at the king's side, and the minister is worried. Can you transfer that Mr. Wu to the subordinate first, and let the minister find out the details first for the emperor?"

The Lich suddenly chuckled: "Promise him, I'll be a guest at Duan Wang's mansion, and find out his details for you."

Xiao Yan's indifferent and calm expression suddenly had a flaw, his brows and eyes flashed as if a shock had broken through the ice, he stood up abruptly, his wide sleeves drooped down to cover his tightly clenched hands, he looked straight at Duan Wang , said coldly: "Uncle Emperor, that's my man, you've overstepped."

Xiao Ji was a little stunned, looked at him, but Xiao Yan had already turned around and walked away from the back hall door with his sleeves swung.

The day in June has already started to heat up. In the royal garden, the willow leaves are green, the willows are soft, and the flowers are in full bloom under the sun. The Lich smiled and talked to him: "The soul box is still with you, I can come back anytime."

Xiao Yan walked with a blank expression, closed his eyes, and whispered: "Don't go to him."

It was an unprecedented sense of threat, he could save him, but he had no way to give in on Jiuyao, absolutely not.

He didn't even look at the road, and strode forward directly, but bumped into the arms of a tall man. The soft and special texture of the robe made him react quickly.

The Lich supported his waist and arrived behind the rockery in a blink of an eye, holding his wrist with one hand and said with a smile: "Okay, if you don't go, you won't go."

Xiao Yancai recovered from the dizziness in the teleportation, supported the Lich's chest to stand firm, and looked around with a little nervousness.

The Lich said: "Don't worry, there is no one."

With the melodious sound of birds and the rippling fragrance of flowers, Xiao Yan slowly calmed down. A tall and awe-inspiring lich stood in front of him. He was not wearing a hood. His long golden hair shone like gold in the sun, and his face was handsome like a god. His eyes focused on himself, but there was no shadow of anyone reflected in his pupils like the pupils of ordinary people.

Xiao Yan looked at him, recalled what the emperor said just now, and thought, if the emperor saw Jiu Yao's appearance like this, how could he still say that his humanity is gone and his temperament is unstable? I want to keep such a person by my side for a long time.

He didn't know that Lich was such a person, if he knew...but he would never let go, the dragon aura on Uncle Emperor's body was probably stronger than his own. The body also recovers faster, right?

He stared at the Lich in a daze, and the Lich reached out and shook his hand: "What's the matter? Are you still angry? Because I promised to be a guest of Duan Wang?"

Xiao Yan was speechless, at this moment he was ashamed of his selfishness, but even so, he must not let go.

Xiao Ji can't be given any chance.

Must not let go.Somewhat angry, he held the Lich's bone hand instead. Under the sun, the bone hand was as cold as ice and as white as jade, and he held it tightly.

The Lich looked down and saw the young man's fingers tightly holding onto his bone hand. Because he was pampered and never worked hard, only a few fingers had light calluses, and the rest of his fingers were soft and fair. His skin was faintly reddened by the ice when he held it too tightly. .I don't know how many years, no one can get so close to his soul body, no one will hold his soul body so intimately and tightly.

Xiao Ji is indeed a character, and after meeting him, he can see through that he is an inhuman necromancer.

Only this young man is still reluctant to part with him, so attached to him, others avoid him, hate, loathe, guard, this is how all normal people feel when they see him.

The Lich didn't say anything on this topic, but touched Xiao Yan's soft, jet-black hair like satin. The young emperor hadn't reached the crown yet, and he didn't go to court today. Although he wore a jade crown, the ends of his hair were still loose on the shoulders.

Xiao Yan said in a low voice with guilt: "I will be stronger than the emperor." After finishing speaking, he felt a little wronged.

The lich said gently: "Of course, I will help you. Of course you are the strongest human king, the holy master who will last forever."

Xiao Yan couldn't help laughing, his ears turned red with shame from the big words he had said, but his heart strangely calmed down.

Empress Dowager Sun heard that Prince Duan had returned to the capital, so she hung up the bead curtain with force, and met Xiao Ji in the harem. Her legs were still not recovering. , I can't bear the pain, and the face that used to be like a bodhisattva has become a little haggard.

She wept and said to King Duan: "If King Duan doesn't come back again, the emperor has no one to restrain him, and there are villains obstructing our relationship between mother and child. These days will become more and more unbearable."

Duan Wang sighed slightly: "Sister-in-law, my ministers have advised you many times before that the emperor is still young and should focus on caring, and now the eldest princess can be regarded as the emperor's serious aunt. With Ouyang's son-in-law scheming behind him, taking advantage of the emptiness, and only making the emperor happy, he naturally turned his heart to that side. If you want the emperor to change his mind, you have to exchange your sincerity for your sincerity. Fortunately, I think the emperor is lenient Soft and kind, standing upright, he can no longer be disciplined harshly at this time, he can only be softened slowly. Even smart people like Prime Minister Ji have changed their methods, we can see that the emperor is smart, not a thing in the pool, and his head is showing off. If you want to dive into the water, you must soar into the sky."

Empress Dowager Sun saw that King Duan had always been reticent, but now she suddenly said such a thing, although she was still dissatisfied in her heart, she could only forcefully say: "The Ai family doesn't know, but why didn't they treat the emperor before?" Sincerely. Sincerely. The emperor was fine before, but now he is suddenly so rebellious, and the rheumatism on Aijia's leg is also weird and evil. I thought, maybe the palace is not clean, and I was thinking about spreading the news tomorrow. Jue Guoshi came in, and then performed a dharma deed to exorcise evil spirits."

Xiao Ji thought of the witch doctor's ghostly tricks that night, so he said, "Sister-in-law Huang is fine. When I'm free, I'll also ask Master Pujue for some teachings about ghosts and ghosts."

Empress Dowager Sun saw that Xiao Ji didn't believe in these gods and Buddhas at all before, but she also said so now, and agreed: "That's right, Master Pujue really has some skills. Every time he comes to perform rituals, I can do it too." Sleep better."

After finishing speaking, Empress Dowager Sun saw that Xiao Ji had never mentioned the matter of punishing Qin Huaigang, and she was a little stunned: "Then Commander Qin contradicted Aijia..."

Xiao Jidan said: "Commander Qin contradicted the emperor's wife, and his younger brother beat him eighty times with the army stick, and punished him to suspend his post for self-reflection, but the emperor is now grown up, so it's not a big deal to let him go out of the palace, it's better to be honest. Guangming took him out of the palace, so naturally he wouldn't sneak away. The younger brother is holding a hunting game these days and taking the emperor out for a walk."

Empress Dowager Sun: "The emperor's health is not good, and a thousand gold is precious, in case something goes wrong..."

Xiao Ji said: "Your brother is here, don't worry, I think the emperor's radiant face is very good, go out for a walk more, learn some riding and shooting, it's good for your health."

Empress Dowager Sun could only reluctantly say: "King Lao Duan will take care of the emperor."
