Looking at Tai'an from the full moon

"Sir, how is your pulse today?"

Xiao Zuochen sat at the table and asked the white-bearded old man who was checking the pulse of the person on the bed. The old man stroked his beard and nodded slightly.

"The pulse is stable, and there is nothing serious."

"Then when will my mother wake up? She has been in a coma for seven days."

The one who spoke was Zuo Xin.

"It will only take a day or two, don't worry. Just feed him some salty porridge after he wakes up."

After the old man finished speaking, he stood up and left.

"Thank you sir."

Zuo Xin bowed towards his back, and the old man continued to walk forward, waving his hand casually.

It turned out that seven days ago, when Zuo Xin thought that her life was about to be lost to the cloaked man, a man holding a broad-backed thick sword appeared and saved them. This man was Yun Chi, the strongest of the twelve guards.

Originally, Yun Chi's martial arts skills were slightly inferior to Yun Feng's, but because he was blinded by poison in the last mission and lost his vision, after Mr. Ying's patient teaching and another retreat, his hearing has reached its peak. Even without visual assistance, he can easily avoid passers-by while walking on the road.

Yue Wu had already drawn his sword and was about to stab Zuo Xin. Yun Chi swung out the sword ruler in his hand and pushed Yue Wu back a few steps, but the sword energy still scratched Zuo Xin's cheek.

Later, Yunbai, Yunqiao and several Yanluo also arrived. The three guards fought with the three cloaked men and all of them had the upper hand. Sister Yanluo fought with Nianwu and directly knocked her away with a palm.

"This is the royal secret guard? Nothing more than that."

The elder sister mocked Nianwu. After hearing this, Shanwu rolled his eyes at Nianwu.

"This is a drag."

Yue Wu saw that they were no match for him and their momentum was weakened, so he simply asked them to retreat.

"But the Emperor ordered..."

"Go and explain to the Emperor yourself."

Yue Wu ignored her and the group retreated first.

......

Later, the bodies of Yunyou, Yanluo's third sister and sixth sister were also found.

After what she experienced over the past few days, Wei Changmei was frightened and fell ill. In addition, her health was not good to begin with and she was also injured at the time, so she has been recuperating over the past few days.

Only Zuo Xin recovered the fastest, which seemed to be related to her living environment since childhood. Zuo Xin grew up under the punishment of her father and the beatings and scoldings of her brothers, so she has a stronger ability to withstand pressure. In addition, she was not seriously injured, so she was able to walk quickly. But...

"My Lord, I have something to tell you."

After the white-bearded old man left, Xiao Zuochen was also planning to leave, but he didn't expect Zuo Xin to stop him.

"What's the matter? Tell me."

Seeing her serious face, Xiao Zuochen sat down again after standing up, poured two cups of tea, gave one to Zuo Xin, and picked up a cup to drink for himself.

"Your Majesty, please find someone to train me! I also want to learn the skills of those guards!"

"puff--"

Xiao Zuochen spat out a mouthful of tea.

"What are you...?"

Xiao Zuochen was a little puzzled. What was she upset about? Was such a delicate young lady going to suffer?

Zuo Xin shook her head.

"Your Majesty, you once said that there is more than one way to protect your loved ones. I chose to believe you then, and I still believe you now. But this journey is the most unforgettable one in my life. Danger followed me everywhere, and I could do nothing. When death really came to me, I realized that I was like an ant in front of the enemy. This time, I was saved by your guards, but what about next time? What should I do if one day I encounter danger again and no one saves me? What about my mother?"

Xiao Zuochen looked at Zuo Xin's serious expression and couldn't help but ask.

"are you serious?"

"Ok!"

Zuo Xin nodded vigorously, and Xiao Zuochen fell silent for a moment. It took him a long while before he spoke.

"In fact, it is not the case that the more powerful a person's martial arts are, the better he can protect himself. Like Yun Wei and Yun You, they are both very powerful in martial arts, but the more you know, the more trouble you will unconsciously find yourself in, and the greater the danger. I advise you to think clearly, this road may not be easy to walk."

After hearing this, Zuo Xin still nodded firmly.

"I have thought it through very clearly. These past few days I have been thinking, if I knew martial arts before, would I not be afraid of my brother bullying me? If I knew martial arts, would I be able to protect my mother in times of danger? If I knew martial arts, would I be able to live a more carefree life like Zhen Luo?

But for many things, I can’t see the future, nor can I change the past, so now I have this opportunity, I want to grab it, because if I don’t take this opportunity and don’t change myself, I will be like this in the future! ”

Xiao Zuochen remained silent until a long time later, when Zuo Xin asked him again if it was possible, he reluctantly agreed.

"I can ask Mr. Ying. He will have to make the final decision on this matter. You should stay with your mother for the next few days. She will wake up soon."

"Ah."

Zuo Xin's idea was soon known by her personal maid, who told Wei Changmei the news, hoping that Concubine Wei would come to stop her master. But Wei Changmei expressed her support after knowing it, and she thought it was great to have something she wanted to do. It was a pity that Wei Changmei's physical foundation was not good, otherwise she would also want to learn martial arts.

On the other side, Xiao Zuochen had just returned to the study, and Wei Yang was waiting for him there.

"Achen~"

When Xiao Zuochen saw his elder sister, a smile appeared on his face.

As early as when Xiao Zuochen communicated with City Lord Wei, saying that after receiving news from his mother, he planned to retreat to Wangyan City to confront the emperor, City Lord Wei said that Wei Yang was also in the city, but at that time Xiao Zuochen thought that his sister had returned to her parents' home.

After arriving in Wangyan City, I learned that my elder sister's husband died unexpectedly less than half a month after her marriage. Her husband's family thought she was unlucky, and City Lord Wei couldn't bear to see his daughter spend the rest of her life alone as a widow in another family, so he took her back.

“No one expected something like this to happen.”

City Lord Wei felt very distressed, not only for Wei Yang, but also for Xiao Zuochen.

"Everything will be fine. Everything depends on human effort. I will take care of you from now on."

"A letter sent by the Emperor."

Wei Yang handed a letter to Xiao Zuochen, who took it and saw "From the Sixth Brother" written on it.

"Old Six:

How are you these days? I believe you have already lived peacefully for a few days when you receive this letter. I am not in a hurry to urge you to come back. Don't forget that Chu Yao is still in my hands. I will give you one month. If you don't come back after one month, I will think that you have abandoned him, and his fate will be the same as that of his follower.

As for your mother, I advise you to be more careful. After all, your mother has not been with you for even half a year. How can there be any affection? Maybe she treats you worse than I do~

Finally, I hope my son will return soon.

Emperor Akihito."

After reading it, Xiao Zuochen angrily slammed the letter on the table. The content of this letter, apart from threatening him, was also trying to sow discord between him and his mother. He really didn't know how his father could be so shameless.

"What's wrong? Ah Chen."

Wei Yang, who was reading by the window, was startled. Xiao Zuochen adjusted his mood when he saw that his elder sister was disturbed by him.

"Nothing, just some things to take care of. Sister, read a book first. I'll be out for a while and will be back soon."

"it is good."

Seeing that he didn't want to talk, Wei Yang didn't ask any more questions.

Xiao Zuochen took the letter and left.
