Three poisons

The temperature dropped day by day, and soon it was the day of the winter solstice.

All the flowers are withering, the birds are all gone, and winter is approaching again. The mansions have already prepared for the winter. It is more like Ji Lianyue, who is afraid of the cold, and the charcoal pots have been burned in the house early. Otherwise you won't be able to sleep at night.

At this time, he began to miss General Huo's good life. He didn't feel much about being single in the past ten years, and he couldn't let go of the warmth after sleeping with a human stove next to him for a year.

It is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

Woke up shivering at night with no warmth in the quilt... I vaguely heard the slight sound of the eaves outside. Her Royal Highness got up and opened the window. A gust of cold wind blew in, mixed with the smell of water vapor and mud.

Accompanied by traces of cold particles falling on the neck and melting... Ji Lianyue thought dully: Oh, it's snowing.

I just remembered that this day is the winter solstice, and the first snow fell early this year. It must be a good year for the auspicious snow to usher in a good year.

A lot of good things happened this year.

Rubbing his hands together, Ji Lianyue was about to close the window when suddenly a black shadow fell from the roof and landed in front of the window—he was so frightened that he almost cried out. At this moment, he stretched out a big hand to cover it Shut his mouth, the familiar breath enveloped him.

"it's me."

The man's voice was low and panting, who else could it be if it wasn't Huo Xian?

Ji Lianyue was so frightened that her heart trembled wildly. When she came back to her senses, she pulled Huo Xianxian's hand away. He took Ji Lianyue's hand: "Why is it so cold?"

Ji Lianyue shook off him, and said angrily, "You're scared."

He drew back a little, and lit the oil lamp.

The little servant who was watching the night outside was awakened by the noise, and asked Ji Lianyue in a daze what he wanted. Her Highness the Princess turned her head and glanced at Huo Xian who was standing in the shadows looking at her with a half-smile, and turned her gaze back to the servant and said calmly, "No problem." , the neuropathy next door has fallen ill again."

The little servant touched the tip of his nose, thinking: Oh, this is General Huo climbing the wall again to take advantage of it.

When the outside became quiet, Ji Lianyue leaned against the charcoal basin, stretched out her hands to warm the fire, and looked up at Huo Xian who was standing there motionless——

The man didn't know how long he had been outside. When he came down just now, his shoulders were covered with snow. Now that he was inside the house, the snow had melted. There were water marks on his shoulders and hair.

He stretched out his hand and flicked the water beads nonchalantly. The man's rude gesture made Ji Lianyue think of wild dogs.

He was wearing night clothes, and he was a fucking wild dog.

"It's so late at night," Ji Lianyue looked at him coldly, "Where did you go to be a thief?"

Huo Xian didn't speak, and paused for a moment while lowering his head to pat his clothes. After a while, he raised his head and gave Ji Lianyue a meaningful look.

Ji Lianyue was puzzled.

"A few days ago, the emperor found a fragment of a damaged firearm design drawing in the imperial study," the man said slowly, "after the certification of the iron caster of Shenjiying, the fragment was exactly what was lost at the beginning. The one that was sold to the Maotan tribe by collaborating with the enemy and treason."

"..."

She moved in surprise, and Ji Lianyue's first reaction was: Lu Feng really found that thing?

After thinking about it again, he immediately thought of something else: Lu Feng is back too?

Huo Xian annoyed Ji Lianyue when he thought of the appearance of the former commander of Jinyiwei, he couldn't help but let out a cold snort before slowly saying: "The fragments appear one by one for several days in succession, the emperor understands that this is probably not to be exchanged for the design of the firearm. What... Now that Lu Guohua's family has been imprisoned, and the firearms map has been retrieved, that kid from the Lu family probably wants to exchange the firearms map for his family's survival."

And Emperor Guanyue never liked people bargaining with him——

Emperor, Long Yan Dayue, I can give you anything, and it is not impossible for the official to return to his original post.

But it has always been, I give it to you because I am willing, but if you take the initiative to ask me for it, it is ignorant of flattery.

What's more, want to bargain?

That Lu Feng went back to the capital unknowingly, but returned the firearm diagram improperly. He must also think that this matter is not as simple as he really retrieved the design diagram...

Having been the leader of the Eagle Dog for a few years, no one in the court understands those intrigues better than him.

He didn't dare to hand over the last chip in his hand to Emperor Guanyue, he didn't trust him.

For several days in a row, only the fragments of the design drawings were handed back, and they came and went freely in the Imperial Study Room, which was protected by layers of protection like a railroad, like a ghost...

Thinking about it, his lightness skill has improved a lot this year, and his courage has also become fatter. Now he has learned to despise the imperial power.

Naturally, Emperor Guanyue couldn't bear it.

However, based on the belief that there will be no more reliable mouth-closing than dead people in the world, the old blacksmiths who designed the firearms killed them when they finished the design... After putting together the received pieces, it was a coincidence. A few pieces of key parts that cannot be restored by Shenjiying are missing, the anger of Emperor Guanyue——

Huo Xian was ordered to stay in the imperial study for the next few days, waiting for the rabbit.

Coincidentally, Huo Xian was really caught today.

The two went through a few tricks, one wanted to catch him alive, the other desperately wanted to escape, naturally Lu Feng had the upper hand.

"Your friend is back," Huo Xian said in a flat voice, "and then told him to run away."

He raised his hand and rubbed Ji Lianyue's earlobe.

"The emperor wants a complete and living person," he said lightly, "otherwise I would have chopped off his legs tonight."

Ji Lianyue: "If someone ran away, don't say harsh words after the incident. It's not embarrassing."

He patted his hand away, he didn't care about anything else, he was very happy to know that Lu Feng had returned safely... and knowing that not only did he return safely, but he also slapped Huo Xian in the face, Ji Lianyue was overjoyed.

However, Huo Xian didn't care about his elation, and raised his hand to pinch his chin, making him raise his head and look into his calm eyes: "Happy?"

Ji Lianyue: "Lu Feng was my childhood playmate. He was in trouble for a while. Now that he has returned safely, he is about to clean up his grievances. I can't think of any reason to be unhappy."

Things are not as simple as you think.

Huo Xian didn't say much, and said "Oh" expressionlessly, turned around and sat down on Ji Lianyue's bed, and began to take off his shoes.

Ji Lianyue: "???????"

Ji Lianyue: "General Huo, what are you doing?"

"Sleep," Huo Xian kicked off his night boots, wiped Ji Lianyue's face with the handkerchief that wiped his face, and then wiped his feet, "Who doesn't know that Commander Lu has a very special relationship with the princess, in case he can't figure it out Looking for an old lover to reminisce about the old days... Huo is just waiting in another place, this is an office job, please cooperate with the princess."

As he spoke, he threw the handkerchief he had wiped his feet into the basin of water.

"That's my wiping face... Ahhh Huo Xian!" Ji Lianyue broke down, "You're running a public job, get out of here!!"

Huo Xian didn't even twitch his eyebrows, and moved the charcoal basin by the window with his own hands. Even if the window is open for ventilation, this thing is still not good for the body. I heard that there are people who inhale too much carbon powder and become fools——

The little princess is not smart in the first place, what can she do if she becomes stupid again?

It's just because I'm afraid of the cold, why would I be cold with him around?

Huo Xian patted the pillow: "Come and sleep, tomorrow morning will be over."

Ji Lianyue stared at him silently.

Seeing that he hadn't moved for a long time, Huo Xian sighed, stood up, walked to Ji Lianyue in two or three steps, hugged him horizontally, and threw him on the couch——

Without waiting for the latter to get up, he also turned over and lay down on it, directly sleeping outside.

Pressing down with a big hand, I don't know where I touched it, Ji Lianyue's waist softened, and she couldn't even get up.

Huo Xian yawned, and grabbed Ji Lianyue into his arms——

Ji Lianyue could only feel the strong chest warmed by a stove on her back... I heard that the Yuxu sect has a unique martial art which belongs to yang. It is also not affected by severe cold.

Right now, there is such a person lying in the blanket, and the blanket that was cold just now became warm all of a sudden.

"Why are your feet so cold?" Huo Xian lowered his head and asked the person in his arms.

Ji Lianyue didn't speak.

Lifting his foot, he stepped on Huo Xian unceremoniously.

Through the clothes, Huo Xian could only feel the cold thing sticking to him, and gradually being warmed by his body temperature... He was actually very satisfied, and he murmured "uh", raised his hand and patted the back of the person in his arms : "Go to sleep."

Ji Lianyue yawned.

He was really sleepy, and he finally warmed up, so he didn't bother to chase people away.

Anyway, he didn't suffer.

……

In the evening, there is a winter solstice family banquet in the palace.

Only a few important ministers were invited to the banquet.

Ji Lianyue listened to these people singing the praises of Ruixue Zhaofeng all night, and he was a little bored. Fortunately, the dumplings tasted good, so he even ordered some more for the sake of saving face.

From time to time, he raised his eyes to look at the next seat, Huo Xian was surrounded by officials all the time, his shameless uncle kept saying "Nephew Huo Xian", and he didn't know where his seniority came from. Son-in-law, I can't wait for Huo Xian to call him father--

Ji Lianyue couldn't see it well, so she simply didn't look at it.

Tilting his head, he saw that Emperor Guanyue had also drunk a little bit, he called a eunuch who was serving him with a smile, packed a lot of dumplings and walked out of the palace.

Ji Lianyue felt it was strange, so she arrested someone to ask, the person said with a smile, the gift from the Holy One, remembering the sinner, is sending someone to deliver dumplings to Lu's residence to show the greatness of the Holy Grace.

Ji Lianyue frowned upon hearing this, thinking that no matter how poor they are, they wouldn't miss your meal of dumplings, and they don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd...

Just as he was muttering, at this time, he was attracted by a certain minister from Huo Xian's side, "the little girl is twenty-eight years old". She drank too much, so she didn't think about it.

……

After drinking too much at night, Huo Xian dragged him onto the horse and went back to the palace together.

As the saying goes, "Once born, second time familiar", she shamelessly got on his couch again, pressing him down like a wild dog and gnawing on him...

In the middle of the night, Ji Lianyue was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, and he let Huo Xian fiddle with himself, he was drowsy... Huo Xian saw that he was being beaten and ignored, and he was working hard, so he woke up "Hiss With a sound, he raised his hand to hit him, but the man grabbed his wrist with a sneer, pulled it to his lips and kissed his fingertips.

The two were pushing and pulling, when suddenly there was a commotion outside.

Huo Xian did half of a hip-lifting movement, when someone knocked on the outside door, his boss was reluctant, and asked in a rough voice, "What are you doing?"

The servant outside was taken aback by his full of hostility.

Ji Lianyue slapped the man directly on the forehead, you are the fucking guest, what a fart you are here!

Standing up and pushing the person on him away, he gathered his clothes and asked outside: "Yinxi, what's the matter?"

"Lu... Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Lu of Duke Lu's mansion died this morning. I heard that they hanged themselves. Right now, there is a commotion outside—"

Ji Lianyue shivered, and woke up after a doze.
