"Um, um..." Nan Xing took a step back and cautiously met Xiao Ye's suspicious eyes. "The master is looking for you, should we go quickly?"

Xiao Ye frowned, feeling a little uneasy in her heart, "Well, let's go."

"Sister Xiaohe, if you're okay, please take a rest first." Xiao Ye nodded to Xiaohe, and walked towards the main hall where Su Minglang was.

Xiao He wanted to follow to see what was going on, but after hearing what Xiao Ye said, she had no choice but to give up, "Okay, Miss Xiao Ye, I'll go back first."

Xiaoye nodded, walked past Nanxing and went straight to the main hall. Nanxing followed her awkwardly, "Um, um, Sister Xiaoye! The master, she, she..."

"Don't stutter, what on earth happened to the master!" Xiao Ye suddenly stopped and looked at Nan Xing seriously. Nan Xing was stunned by her look and became even more nervous.

"It's, it's, she, she..."

"Oh! Forget it!" Xiao Ye curled his lips helplessly, turned around and left without paying any attention to her.

Nanxing looked at Xiaoye's hurried back and felt that he must have gotten into big trouble.

"Master?" As soon as Xiao Ye entered the room, he saw Su Minglang lying on the table, his life or death uncertain, "Master! Master!"

Xiao Ye approached anxiously, cautiously stretched out his hand to test her, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was still breathing, "Hoo! Master, wake up, wake up!"

Xiao Ye gently pushed her, but saw that Su Minglang's face was flushed unnaturally. When she was disturbed in her deep sleep, she waved her hand and muttered to herself: "Don't move, don't move! Come on, another cup."

There was a sleeping person, a cup in front of him, and an opened jar on one side with a faint aroma of wine. Xiao Ye calmed down and took a look, and instantly understood what had happened.

"South Star!"

As soon as Nan Xing entered the room, she heard Xiao Ye's angry shout. She paused and wanted to retract her foot without thinking, but she received a warning look from Xiao Ye, so she could only walk in obediently, "Hey, um, Sister Xiao Ye..."

Nan Xing knew that he had done something wrong, and looked at her timidly: "Should we go find the imperial physician to take a look?"

"Look? What are you looking at?" Xiao Ye asked angrily, "Come and see if Su Zhaoyi is drunk alone in the palace? Is she unconscious?"

"No, no..." Nan Xing lowered his head instantly and dared not say a word.

"What are you standing there for! Come over here and give me a hand!" Xiao Ye reached out to lift up one of Su Minglang's arms, and seeing Nan Xing still standing there in a daze, he scolded him.

"Hey, hey! Okay!" Nanxing nodded quickly in response and ran to help Xiaoye lift up Su Minglang. The two of them took great pains to put a sleeping person on the bed.

"Huh! You don't know how much you weigh, and you're still drinking!" Xiao Ye muttered in a low voice, turned around and glared at Nan Xing fiercely: "It's none of your business, get off."

"Um, Sister Xiaoye, is the master okay?"

"It's okay." Xiao Ye looked at the sleeping Su Minglang and relaxed his expression, "You go back and rest. When the master gets drunk, he will sleep until dawn."

"Oh, okay." Xiao Ye nodded, looked at Su Minglang worriedly, and then left after seeing that she was indeed sleeping peacefully.

"You haven't had a good time these past few days, have you?" Xiao Ye took out a wet towel and gently wiped Su Minglang's body. "Forget it, it won't happen again just this once!"

"Don't forget, you promised me before entering the palace that I would never drink again."

"Are you exhausted, Master?"

"Get some rest."

Nanxing hid outside the door and peeked inside. She saw Xiaoye muttering a few words as if complaining, and then smoothing her frown with pity.

An indescribable feeling surged into her heart. It was a strange feeling that Nanxing had never felt before. She only felt a slight sourness in her heart but not sad.

Looking at the peaceful life in the house, Nanxing closed his eyes, gently closed the door, and turned back.

After the rain, the bright moon was faintly twinkling in the sky. The girl's back looked particularly lonely against the backdrop of the autumn moon. The shadows of the trees in the yard were dim. Nanxing stretched out her hand and gently touched a branch. Under the imprint of the moonlight, it seemed as if she was hugging someone.

The remaining rain on the branches soaked her coat. She leaned against the branches unsatisfied and said, "It's so cold."

"It's so cold..."

"Hmm?" Su Minglang felt a cold wetness on his face. He struggled to open his heavy eyes. Xiao Ye's face suddenly appeared in his eyes. "Ye, Ye Zi?"

"Ye Zi, I..."

Xiao Ye shook her head and interrupted Su Minglang's explanation, "I know that the master has been very tired these days, and it is normal for her to want to take a chance to rest."

"But Master, you shouldn't have kept it from me!" Xiao Ye stared at her stubbornly, "Master, don't you know how much you can drink? If someone sees you, you'll inevitably be criticized."

"Got it." Su Minglang looked at her apologetically, "By the way, where's Nanxing? Did you make things difficult for her?"

"I asked her to help me move you to bed yesterday, and then I told her to go to bed. She was busy until late yesterday, maybe she got up too late?"

Xiao Ye was also a little confused. In the past, Nan Xing had always been very active. Sometimes, she would be waiting by his side even before he got up. It was indeed a little confusing to hear that she hadn't gotten up yet at this hour.

"Would you like me to go and take a look?"

"No need," Su Minglang shook his head indifferently, straightened up and leaned against the bed, "Let her rest a little longer. I dragged her out to drink just when her injuries were healed a little."

"Nanxing is not as drunk as you are." Xiaoye hit him mercilessly: "When Nanxing came to see me last night, he was still sober!"

"Okay, okay!" Su Minglang compromised and comforted: "I understand, there won't be a next time, okay?"

"I'm not forbidding you to drink, but you should tell me if you want to drink!" Xiao Ye said dissatisfiedly, "You can't see what you look like when you're drunk. You're simply letting others bully you!"

"I'm hungry, Xiaoye, I'm hungry!" Su Minglang acted coquettishly to Xiaoye without any burden. Xiaoye couldn't stand her like this and quickly pulled away, "I'll go to the kitchen to ask, I'll go now!"

Looking at Xiao Ye's back as he left in a hurry, Su Minglang smiled triumphantly.

"Fight with me?"

But Xiaoye had been gone for a very long time, so long that Su Minglang felt like he was starving to death. "Why hasn't he come back yet?"

"I'm so hungry, so hungry!" As if she had not yet sobered up from the drunkenness, Su Minglang was no longer as dignified as before. She sat in the house with her eyes staring towards the door, hoping that Xiaoye would come back soon.

"Master, Master! Something's happened, Master!" Xiao Qing staggered in, breathlessly saying, "Go and have a look! Nanxing, she's in trouble!"
