This tomb was built very early. Even if he came to worship every year, he would do so on the ground instead of going down into the tomb.

Huo Wenxian, who didn't know he was dreaming, kept walking down the corridor and found the stone room where the coffin was placed.

Then he saw a scene that surprised him. There was a fox lying on the red coffin. The fox was bright red and had five fox tails.

The bright red fox tail seemed to be dancing, up and down, sometimes up, sometimes down, and slowly swaying. Even Huo Wenxian, who had already hardened his heart, couldn't help but feel a little curious when he saw this scene.

This tomb was built by the most famous and best craftsmen of the previous dynasty. Moreover, every year the Huo family would send people to repair the cracks in the tomb. There was no way this fox could sneak in!

Even the place where he fell was really weird. The place where he fell looked more like it was suddenly smashed out or... dug out!

Just as Huo Wenxian was about to step forward to check, he saw the fox lying on the coffin, which should have been asleep, suddenly opened its eyes.

These fox eyes were pure and bright, looking at him bright and clean, as if he had a thousand words to say, and he seemed to be seeing a stranger, so he was overly excited!

Huo Wenxian subconsciously drew his sword. This was a habit he had developed over the years. The commander of the Jin Yiwei did not do anything aboveboard.

What he does has always been between black and white, because he only obeys the emperor's orders, and he has to do whatever the person on the dragon throne says, just like a sword in the opponent's hand.

The blood on your hands cannot be washed away even if you soak it in a pool.

However, he made a handsome move to draw the sword, but he did not draw the sword. This made him look down and saw that not only was he not wearing official uniform and sword, but he was actually wearing pajamas?

"What on earth are you?" Huo Wenxian was just surprised for a moment and did not answer the question again. In his opinion, no matter how weird the five-tailed fox appeared, it was still just a fox after all.

He doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, he doesn't believe in heaven, he only believes in himself.

The fox's tail suddenly stretched out and flew in front of him, tapping his shoulder with its tail.

Huo Wenxian's body subconsciously formed a bow shape. He has experienced a lot in the past few years, and his guard against people's hearts has become so deep that few people can gain his full trust.

Even among the few remaining people in the Huo family, there are only two or three who can gain his trust, and all of them can only give five points of trust.

The fox's posture was a bit sluggish, lying on the coffin, as if he didn't even bother to move, and just wrapped his tail around him.

Huo Wenxian frowned. He didn't like other people's touch. No matter how good-looking the fox was, he didn't like it.

The fox's touch made him subconsciously want to fight back, but when he saw the fox's face that seemed to understand, he quickly retracted his tail and looked at him with a somewhat aggrieved look.

It seems to be saying, if someone's tail is so beautiful, why are you willing to be so cruel?

Huo Wenxian saw that the fox was a little weird. He thought about it and said, "This is my grandfather's tomb. It's not appropriate for you to lie down here. Find another place."

Although he is the emperor's sword, it is used against courtiers, not these animals, just a fox, even if the other party really... dug his grandfather's grave and slept in his grandfather's coffin.

He wouldn't want to kill it either.

The fox shook his head without thinking.

Just kidding, this is a geomantic treasure. If he runs away, where can he find Huo Wenxian?

After entering the fox's body, he did not inherit the other person's memory. He only vaguely remembered that he failed to cross the heavenly tribulation, and his meridians were damaged, and he needed to be nourished for ten days and a half.

It was a coincidence that Huo Wenxian fell asleep suddenly. He was not a fool to leave at this time!

Huo Wenxian wanted to say more, but there was a sudden sound in his ears, and his thoughts were flying rapidly. Everything in front of him became blurred, and he could only vaguely remember the little fox's eyes staring at him.

"It's getting late, sir. It's time to go to court." A follower knocked on the door to remind him.

"Going to court?" Huo Wenxian was confused for a rare moment. He stood up and pressed his eyebrows, "Are you just dreaming?"

But what kind of dream was it? It could be so real. He could still remember the appearance of the five-tailed fox. It was as real as if he actually went to the cemetery and saw the fox!

This matter troubled Huo Wenxian for a long time, and until he went to court, he was still thinking about that dream.

It was always the same thing in the early dynasties. Those officials impeached Huo Wenxian as usual. They were just impeaching him with cruel methods and suspected that he had evil intentions to use public affairs for personal gain.

Every time the emperor treated Huo Wenxian, he always reprimanded him and fined him a fake salary of three or two months, and then lost the rest.

Handle it with care, and over time, everyone knows that the emperor will not hold Huo Wenxian accountable, and Huo Wenxian's position as the most popular person in the emperor's heart is so stable!

Only Huo Wenxian called the emperor to the Ganlu Hall after he came to court, where he criticized and comforted him.

What he said was that this matter still needed to be handled. He suspected that the courtiers who were arrested this time were related to the son of the former prince when the late emperor was in power.

Before the emperor became emperor, he was the third son, and his abilities were considered outstanding, but they were nothing compared to the prince at that time.

The prince at that time was both virtuous and well-known, talented and capable of governing the country.

It's a pity that the prince died of illness a year before Huo's father died in the battle. It was said that he was suffering from a sudden illness, and some said that he had a sudden stroke. All kinds of rumors were spread, which seemed more like an attempt to cover up the truth.

In the same year that the prince died of illness, the princess suffered massive hemorrhage during childbirth, gave birth to a stillborn fetus, and died herself.

Only then will it be the turn of the then third prince, now His Majesty, to proclaim himself emperor and ascend the throne.

It has been 12 years since His Majesty became emperor. If the baby had not died, he would have been 15 years old this year.

Huo Wenxian knelt on the ground, with an almost invisible sarcasm flashing in his eyes. The emperor was always so hypocritical.

Nothing has changed after so many years. Jin Yiwei is the sharpest sword in his hand, and everything he does is ordered by him.

On the surface, he is kind, but in private, he would not even let go of a baby from back then...

Huo Wenxian's eyes deepened. How could such a suspicious king tolerate the Huo family?

"Your Majesty, the Concubine Xian wants to see you." The personal eunuch announced loudly from outside.

Huo Wenxian's eyes darkened, and a cold look quickly flashed in his eyes.

The emperor asked Huo Wenxian to get up, while he looked at Concubine Xian who came over with a smile.

"I have met Your Majesty." Concubine Xian was dressed in a concubine's skirt. Behind her was a palace maid, who was holding a plate with snacks on it.

The emperor seemed not to notice Concubine Xian's secret glance at Huo Wenxian. He spoke to Concubine Xian with a smile.

As for Huo Wenxian, he resigned knowingly.

But the emperor suddenly said, "My dear, stay here and try my concubine's craftsmanship with me."

There was a coldness in Huo Wenxian's brows for a moment, but he quickly covered up the coldness.

"The minister obeys the order."
