you got on my tail

Under the moonlight, the bamboo shadows swayed and made rustling noises from time to time. Bai Xuehe pulled Xiao Wei aside, looked at the young master in front of him and said politely: "Thank you, Mr. Li Yue, the servant is rude and has caused trouble for the prince."

The person in front of him is called Li Yue, who is the secret guard of King Yan. Seeing that Xiao Wei was not sent by the twelve guards of the capital, Xiao Wei must have no chance to see King Yan at all, and Bai Xuehe also felt relieved.

"Miss Xiaowei wants to see the prince, but the prince is under house arrest, and the palace is surrounded by people from the emperor." Li Yue smiled, her slender eyebrows curved into a gentle arc, "I have no choice but to send the girl back."

"Of course I know that the prince is in a bad situation, and I will take strict care of my servants in the future." Bai Xuehe said a few words, and Xiao Wei's face was a little uneasy. She felt that she was righteous before, but now she began to feel that Bai Xuehe was not for She is cold-blooded and ruthless, and King Yan has been placed under house arrest. It is really unwise for her to ask King Yan to rescue Ruan Jianghe, and it will hurt King Yan, but Bai Xuehe doesn't want to take care of this matter, and she really doesn't know who to ask .

"I stopped Miss Xiaowei, and I also informed the lord." Li Yue didn't seem to know that Xiaowei went without authorization, and thought it was Bai Xuehe's instruction, "The lord told the adults not to worry, everyone has his own ambitions, he and Ruan My lord won't care, let me not be troubled by rumors, my lord knows it's not easy for me."

Bai Xuehe was slightly taken aback, as if he didn't expect King Yan to say such a thing, facing Li Yue's gentle and smiling face, he didn't know what to say, but Xiao Wei rushed to say: "I know the prince will not rebel, maybe the emperor If nothing can be found, the prince will be released!"

Li Yue did not answer her question, but continued: "By the way, Lord Bai, the emperor will go to Xiaoling to worship the ancestors in a few days. The emperor values ​​the guards, so the guards in the capital will naturally be transferred out. If there is a chance, my lord may be able to meet with the prince." Let's meet."

Hearing Liyue's words, Xiaowei couldn't hide the joy on her face. She regretted her impulsiveness and sarcastic remarks a few days ago, and she looked at Bai Xuehe expectantly.

Unexpectedly, Bai Xuehe only smiled slightly, and then replied, "It's all right, the plums in the melon field, it's arousing criticism."

Li Yue nodded, as if she had expected his answer, with a gentle smile still on her face, Xiao Wei froze in place, feeling her heart go cold for a moment, she silently looked at Bai Xue He, as if she saw a stranger.

Li Yue's figure disappeared into the night, Xiao Wei still stayed where he was, Bai Xuehe walked a few steps towards Heidan's guest room, turned around and said: "Xiao Hei is afraid alone, I will sleep with him, I see him eat more Litchi, let’s buy some more tomorrow.”

Xiaowei didn't agree, and said after a while: "Master, something happened in my family, I'm afraid I can't work in the capital."

She seemed to have thought about it for a long time, and the expression on her face was much calmer.

"Okay." Bai Xuehe's reaction seemed to have been known for a long time, "You are in charge of the money in the house, so you should pay for it yourself."

Xiao Wei stopped in place for a while, Bai Xuehe seemed to be unable to bear it, so he whispered: "I have no plans, I am just such a soft bone."

When Xiaowei heard this, he left without looking back.

As the night deepened, Bai Xuehe tiptoed back to Heidan's side. The boy in his loose clothes was sleeping all over the place. He didn't seem to be used to dressing and covering the quilt. The underpants were easy to take off, Bai Xuehe smiled and pulled them up for him, Heidan turned over and naturally leaned against Bai Xuehe.

A soft person is not a cold snake, Bai Xuehe paused a few times, and took advantage of the situation to wrap this guy in his arms, he had little sleep in the first place, and now he was no longer sleepy, so he simply hugged the child, trying to make him feel more comfortable.

Heidan rubbed against him, but murmured: "A Li, I want to go home."

In the early morning of the next day, Bai Xuehe was sitting at the table reading a book, and Heidan rushed over excitedly and lay down on the table: "Bai Xuehe, I dreamed about Ah Li! You know, every time I dream about Ah Li, the first See him in two days."

"Have you washed your face?" Bai Xuehe poked his forehead angrily, seeing Heidan nodded, he continued to ask: "Then have you eaten yet?"

"No." Heitan shook his head honestly, covered his stomach and whispered, "After eating lychees for so many days, I want to eat meat..."

Bai Xuehe was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that snakes would be like people, and it would be boring to eat without changing the way, but he walked around the mansion, but he couldn't find Bai Fu.

Bai Xuehe doesn't know how to cook, but being watched with expectation by those watery eyes behind his buttocks, he hurriedly took out a sausage that Bai Fu brought from home from the cupboard and cut it open, and started to wash the rice again, he thought After a while, pour these things into the cauldron all at once, and then take out the firewood to start a fire.

Bai Xuehe not only knows how to make a fire, but is also very satisfied with the way and speed he makes the fire. The flame burns evenly and steadily, and the smell of bacon comes from the pot. Heidan sat on the threshold and stared blankly, and asked One sentence, "Okay, isn't it!"

"This rice is fragrant rice from Nanyang. It is fragrant and white." Bai Xuehe couldn't help showing off, "The bacon is brought from the countryside. It is salty and sweet, very tender. Steam these two things together, and the rice is also delicious. It will seep into the grease..."

Before Bai Xuehe finished speaking, the two of them covered their mouths and noses together. An uncontrollable burning smell came from the cauldron, and black smoke came out of the cauldron. The two hurriedly ran out of the kitchen. on, but he was still splashed with black foam.

The little chubby snake stepped forward to lift the lid of the pot, and the rice had already been burnt black with the bacon, he said seriously: "Look, the meat has been burned to black charcoal, you are wasting food, Ah Li said that you can't waste food. "

Bai Xuehe had never raised a child, and the white satin clothes at this moment were covered with black foam, and he was unhappy at first, but when he heard Heidan mention Ah Li, he lost all patience, and couldn't help but said coldly: "I've been here for a long time. Having said that, you have no money, so why should you want this or that.”

After Bai Xuehe said this, he felt a little regretful in his heart, but Heidan didn't take it back, he didn't even swell his face, he immediately turned and left the kitchen, and when Bai Xuehe went out to chase, there was no one in the yard .

Bai Xuehe had no intention of eating, so he stepped back a few steps and came to the black egg room and pushed open the window. As expected, there was a bulge on the bed. It seemed that although the child was angry, he really had nowhere to go.

So he felt relieved, went to the bedroom to change his clothes, took another ingot of silver and put it in his purse, thinking about going out to buy some food, but just as he walked out of the study door, he heard a commotion outside the door.

Bai Fu's voice and a dog barking came from outside the door, Bai Xuehe frowned in the distance, and saw a carriage parked outside the door, and a huge black dog squatting at the door, this dog was different from usual, not only was it huge in size, but also His eyes were ferocious, and his fangs were dripping with saliva.

Dare to raise beasts in Yishanfang, probably only the domineering Xu family can do it.

Bai Xuehe took a step back subconsciously, then rushed up quickly, Bai Fu squeezed forward to protect him, Xu Lingxiao slowly stepped down from the carriage, took the rope from the entourage, then raised his head and smiled: "How long has Master Bai run?" Step, really fragrant and sweaty, I feel pity."

Xu Lingxiao is a relative of the Empress Dowager, and Xu Yan, the younger brother of the Empress Dowager, is also the Duke of the State and a general of the first rank Xuanwei, so it can be said that he is full of honor.Although Xu Lingxiao was grounded by the emperor last time, he was spoiled and spoiled since he was a child, and he didn't take this punishment seriously at all. Instead, he hated Bai Xuehe even more and wanted to teach him a lesson.

Moreover, although the emperor favored and trusted Bai Xuehe, he often punished Bai Xuehe with both kindness and majesty. In Xu Lingxiao's eyes, Bai Xuehe was a pet raised by the emperor.

Bai Xuehe didn't want to cause trouble, he knew that Xu Lingxiao was just looking for trouble, so he stretched out his hand to hold Bai Fu, and turned around to turn back.

"Don't go, Master Bai." Seeing that he was going back, Xu Lingxiao thought that Bai Xuehe was afraid, so he said deliberately: "I heard that Master Bai was injured and couldn't go to the yamen, so I specially asked someone to show Master Bai."

He waved his hand, and the guards rushed forward, and Bai Fu was also pulled away by those people. In the panic, Bai Xuehe was pushed by someone, and fell directly against the wall.

"Master!" Bai Fu yelled, and was directly held up by the Xu family's servants. Xu Lingxiao punched him in the face, and his nose was bloody all over his face instantly.

Xu Lingxiao wiped his hands in disgust, and said with a smile: "I'm just looking for someone to treat your master, so why should I be ashamed of you?"

Before Xu Lingxiao could finish his sentence, a group of big men surrounded him, and one of them was bolder and eager to claim credit, and hurriedly said: "Master Xu from the Duke's Mansion asked us to come and see Mr. Bai, why do I still need so many people to see a doctor? Thinking of being so delicate, she looks like a little lady."

Bai Xuehe was not annoyed either, he got up slowly, stretched out his hands to brush off the dust on his clothes, and then said slowly: "I am the official fifth-rank Dali Temple Minister, if you take a step forward, you will humiliate this official and the court, according to Dali Zhou Lv ordered him to be executed."

He was only wearing ordinary clothes, and his long hair was only tied with a wooden hairpin, and it was even a little disheveled.The commoner clothes are like snow, which further sets off his delicate face like porcelain. It seems that the sun is too bright, and the pair of slightly drooping peach blossom eyes are half closed and half opened.

The big man took a step back, and felt that although this man was petite and charming, there was an inexplicable hint of yin.

Xu Lingxiao saw that the servant was hesitant to move forward, his youthful face twisted into a ball, and he involuntarily let go of the rope in his hands. The big dog bared its fangs and growled, as if it was waiting for the master's order.

Xu Lingxiao didn't want to really hurt Bai Xuehe, so he didn't say anything, and let the Tibetan mastiff linger in place, Bai Fu's scalp felt numb.

At this moment, a small figure suddenly appeared from the alley, and he seemed to be still running in a hurry.

Hounds like to catch live animals the most. When they see people running from a distance, they rush out quickly.

Bai Xuehe took a closer look, and saw that the little chubby snake was standing blankly at the entrance of the alley, holding a bag in his hand.
