Chu Zhao returned to the abandoned courtyard and saw that there was no light in the room, so he thought Aao had left.

When the guards carried her to the door and lit the fire certificate, she realized that Aao was wearing the bloody clothes, sitting on the threshold and falling asleep.

Hearing the movement, the young man raised his head and his eyes lit up instantly.

"Princess!" He ignored the pain and stood up to greet Chu Zhao, like a puppy finally waiting for its long-lost owner, unable to hide his joy.

Chu Zhao was also very happy, but said angrily: "You are more exposed, what are you doing sitting here?"

A'ao was so cold from the cold, but her heart was warm. She wanted to tell Chu Zhao that she was worried about her, but because there were guards present, she held back.

The guards sent Chu Zhao back to the room and left, and ordered Aao to leave with them and not to be alone in the room with the princess.

Aao looked at Chu Zhao in embarrassment, not trusting her, but also afraid that he would implicate her here and make the prince suspicious.

Chu Zhao winked at him and said, "It's okay. You go ahead and see me later."

A'ao was stunned for a moment, then understood what she meant, bowed in response, and followed the guards out.

After closing the door, Chu Zhao applied medicine to himself, changed into clean clothes, and leaned on the bedside to recuperate.

After a while, Aao knocked on the door outside and called her in a low voice: "Princess, I'm back."

"Come in!" Chu Zhao sat up, waited for others to enter the room, and waved to him, "I asked the prince for some gold wound medicine, come here and I will help you apply it."

"No need." Ao shook his head, "Princess, you can use it yourself. This slave is rough-skinned and thick-bodied, so it doesn't matter."

"I've already used it, these are the rest." Chu Zhao said, "Hurry up, don't act like a little girl."

Aao walked over obediently, not wanting the princess to think of him as a coy little girl, so he took off his clothes much faster than last time.

Chu Zhao found it interesting, so he held back his laughter and helped him apply the medicine, then casually pinched his tight waist.

"I've lost some weight, but my foundation is pretty good. I should be able to recover soon."

The boy's body stiffened, and the piece of waist she had pinched felt as hot as if it was on fire.

"Okay, go back and rest quickly!" Chu Zhao said, "Tomorrow I will ask the prince for more medicine and come back to heal your injuries."

"Yes." A'ao put on his clothes and left with a blushing face.

He closed the door but did not leave. He stood in the corridor and waited for a long time. It was not until Chu Zhao turned off the lights and went to sleep that he quietly picked up some hay and placed it outside the door, then lay down on the haystack.

The night is deep and the sky and the earth are silent.

After the third watch, a black shadow quietly crossed the high wall and entered the abandoned courtyard.

The black shadow looked around and tiptoed to the corridor. Just as he was about to go up the steps, a voice suddenly shouted at the door: "Who is it?"

The black shadow was startled, quickly retreated, and disappeared after a few ups and downs.

Aao sat up and listened to the movements in the room. He was afraid that the other party had accomplices, so he didn't dare to chase him.

He just needs to guard the princess, nothing else matters.

The black shadow left the Abandoned Courtyard and went to the Rose Courtyard by a familiar route.

"Tuk Tuk."

Su Nuanyu's window was lightly knocked, and she immediately opened her eyes, got up and went to the window in the dark.

"How's it going? Did you succeed?" she asked in a low voice.

"No, the man slave is guarding the door and I can't get in." The man outside replied.

"It's just a man slave, why don't we just kill him together?"

"No, that kid seems to have some skills. I don't dare to take the chance."

"Trash!" Su Nuanyu said angrily, "Get out of here, don't get discovered. We'll talk about it tomorrow if you have anything to do."

"Yes." The black shadow responded, then quietly disappeared into the darkness.

It was quiet again outside the window, and Su Nuanyu returned to bed bitterly.

Chu Zhao is an ugly guy. He married into the palace for half a year without cultivating a confidant. Now that he has just come back to life, he has taken in a loyal little slave. It seems that he is really different.

Fortunately, she had made two preparations. Even if the bitch escaped tonight, he would still die tomorrow.

Just wait and see, she will decide the position of Princess Jingnan!

In the abandoned courtyard, Ah Ao watched Chu Zhao with his eyes open all night. When it got dark, he removed the hay, cleaned up the yard, fetched a basin of water and put it outside the door, then returned to the stable to feed the horses.

There were two other people on duty on the same shift as him. When he saw him coming back, one of them said angrily: "Aren't you attracted by the princess and are going to be successful? Why are you coming back to feed the horses?"

"That's right." Another person also said with a smile, "Serving the princess is much easier than serving the horse. It's ugly, but it's not the same when the lights are turned off..."

Aao suddenly turned cold and glared at them.

The two of them were used to bullying A'ao, so they couldn't help but get angry when they saw his unconvinced look.

"What are you looking at? I can't tell you anything, right?"

"I really thought that I could fly to the branches after spending a night with my master. Oh, that woman is an abandoned woman to put it bluntly. If you want to sell yourself, you should find someone who loves you!"

Ah Ao clenched his fists, walked forward without saying a word, knocked one person over with his fist, kicked another person down with his feet, and used the wooden stick to stir the feed to attack the two of them.

Neither of them expected that the pony slave, who was usually submissive, would suddenly lose such a temper. He beat him so hard that he could no longer resist. He held his head and screamed for mercy.

Aao retracted his hand, pointing the wooden stick at the two of them, his eyes as fierce as a wolf with red eyes: "If you dare to speak rudely to the princess again, I will chop you into pieces and feed them to horses!"

"I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore." The two of them lay on the ground shivering with bruises and swollen faces.

Aao turned around and walked away with the wooden stick and continued to feed the horse.

The whip wound on his back split open again due to the violent movements just now, and the blood stained his clothes, but he didn't care and kept his waist straight.

The morning sun shone through the gray clouds, casting a layer of golden light on his blood-stained back. His thin figure instantly grew taller, like a young general returning from a bloody battlefield.

After feeding the horse, when it was time to put down the meal, Aao went to the kitchen to get his own meal and sent it to the abandoned courtyard for Chu Zhao to eat.

After Chu Zhao woke up, she felt that the pain in her body had eased. She opened the door and saw a basin of water outside. She didn't need to guess that it was Ao who had prepared it for her.

Thinking of the young man, Chu Zhao was in a good mood. After cleaning, he was about to go find him when he came over with food.

"A'ao." Chu Zhao asked him, "How is your injury?"

"Thank you, Princess, it's much better." Aao put the food on the dining table that was about to fall apart. "This is for the servants to eat. Princess, don't dislike it. Just take a bite first!"

He had tried his best to avoid Chu Zhao's sight. The moment he bent down, Chu Zhao still keenly noticed the blood on his back.

"You said it was much better. What happened to the blood?"

"It's okay. Maybe I accidentally touched it when I was feeding the horse." Aao replied to her calmly.

"You're still feeding the horse. How can you feed the horse when it's injured like this?" Chu Zhao frowned and said, "Stop feeding it. I'll talk to Manager Ma later and ask him to give you a few days off."

"His surname is not Ma." Ah Ao said lightly, "The rice is getting cold. Princess, please eat quickly!"

Chu Zhao looked at him, then at the bowl of vegetable porridge and two steamed buns with mixed noodles: "This is your breakfast. What do you eat after I eat it?"

"I've eaten it," A'ao said, "This is an extra serving."

Chu Zhao didn't believe it.

It would be nice if the servants' food was not deducted. How could he be asked to pay for an extra portion?

"Let's eat together!" Chu Zhao said, "I always have a bad appetite in the morning and can't eat so much."

Aao swallowed his saliva and was about to refuse when Chu Zhao had already brought a steamed bun and handed it to him.

"Eat it, it tastes better when two people eat it together."

Aao took the steamed bun hesitantly and said thank you.

"Idiot, it's my turn to thank you." Chu Zhao picked up another steamed bun and ate it. Thinking of the horse, he asked casually, "How is Zhui Feng?"

"Thank you, Princess. Chai Feng is feeling much better."

A'ao glanced at Chu Zhao hesitantly, wanting to ask her if she really regarded herself as Zhui Feng. She tried a few times, but she didn't have the courage to ask.

In the eyes of the masters, low-level slaves like them are worse than dogs. Treating him as a horse is already a compliment to him, and he should not expect more.

Just as he was thinking about it, heavy footsteps came from outside the door.

Aao keenly heard the footsteps of the prince, stood up, put down the steamed bun in his hand, and quickly stood in front of Chu Zhao.

The next moment, Murong Xiao burst in with a fierce murderous aura.
