Looking at Tai'an from the full moon

"This 'Zhu Lian'er' is actually... the master..."

These words shocked the three women standing by.

"Xiao Zuochen also dressed up as a bride?"

Yun Feng nodded awkwardly.

"Originally, the master wanted you to disguise yourself as the bride and sneak out, and he would use Qinggong to fly out. But these days, perhaps because of General Bai's wedding, the dog emperor is afraid of any trouble, so the whole city is under martial law. As long as there is any problem in the palace, the city gates will be blocked!"

"Isn't the problem very serious now?"

"That's right! If Xiao Zuoming finds out that Zhu Lian'er is the master in disguise, he will definitely order the city to be sealed off! And even if he doesn't find out, when those brides you impersonated wake up, there will be chaos in the palace! Or, Xiao Zuoming goes to Fengqi Palace and finds that you are not in the palace at all. No matter which situation happens, as long as it happens, we can't get out!"

Yun Feng explained all the possible situations, which caused the three of them to remain silent for a long time. After a long time, Concubine Yun spoke.

"There are only two options now. One, we find a way to go back to the palace, and everyone goes back to their own place, so we won't be discovered. But the problem is, maybe when we go back, Xiao Zuochen will try to find a way out, and in the end he will be the only one not in the palace, but the whole city will still be under martial law. Two, trust Xiao Zuochen, he will find a way out, and we go first."

"I disagree!"

Yun Feng interrupted directly.

"You abandoned the master last time, this time I will wait for the master to leave together no matter what!"

After hearing his words, Concubine Yun sneered and mocked.

"Stupid! Even if you just wait here, it won't help him at all. It's better to deal with other things and save him some trouble."

"It's all because of you troublemakers."

Yun Feng muttered softly.

"What!?"

Concubine Yun glared at her. It was the first time someone said she was trouble!

Yun Feng curled his lips. Although he did not agree with Concubine Yun’s idea, he had to admit that this was indeed the best choice at the moment.

"All right, all right! The master is with General Bai now, so he is safe. Let's go quickly and wait for one night in the Fairy Temple outside the city."

In this way, Yun Feng and others left the city first with Concubine Yun and others.

And on the other side-

General Bai and his wife returned home. The whole house was decorated with lights and colors, and the whole place was red to welcome the arrival of the general's wife.

Today, only a simple wedding ceremony was held in the palace, and no banquet was held in the palace. So after everyone came back, the maids in the Bai Mansion helped the new wife to the bridal chamber to rest, while General Bai and his parents stayed in the front hall to host a banquet for other ministers, drinking one cup after another.

General Bai finally waited until the evening, sent all the guests away, and staggered into the bridal chamber. At this time, the bride was sitting upright on the bed in the room, motionless, with her veil not lifted.

General Bai walked over slowly and was about to reach out to lift the bride's veil, but the bride seemed to have sensed his action and dodged to the side, avoiding General Bai's outstretched hand.

The bride's behavior instantly aroused General Bai's desire to conquer her. He immediately became more energetic. He continued to reach out to the bride's veil, but the bride dodged his "claws" again. This went on and on, and the two chased each other in the house until General Bai was so dizzy that he knocked over the drinks on the table.

"You, you can do Qinggong?"

General Bai was a little surprised. Through the previous chases, he noticed that the bride's steps were light and orderly, not like those of an ordinary woman.

But the bride did not respond to him. She just stood at a distance from him, as if looking at him through the veil on her head.

General Bai stopped arguing with her and sat back on the bed.

"I don't know whether you entered the palace to participate in the selection voluntarily or your family forced you to, but I don't like this kind of blind marriage. Although I was the one who proposed the selection of a wife this time, it was just because I was too excited that I mentioned it to the emperor. In fact, I don't want to get married, especially since you and I haven't even met.

But no matter what, you have already entered the general's mansion. From now on, we are husband and wife. We will rise and fall together. So no matter whether you are willing to marry me or not, please obey the duties of the general's wife. If you don't want to do something, I will naturally not force you, but you must not do things that you shouldn't do. From now on, you and I are each tied with a pair of shackles, and we will live like this~"

After General Bai finished speaking, he let out a long sigh. At this time, a deep male voice was heard.

"I don't want to live my whole life with you like this~"

"who!?"

General Bai was startled. Just as he was about to lie down on the bed, he immediately jumped up again.

The bride's veil was pulled back, revealing a thin but handsome face - it was Xiao Zuochen!

General Bai was so surprised that he couldn't finish his words.

"You! You, how could you..."

General Bai's expression was one of surprise at first, but then when he saw the phoenix crown on Xiao Zuochen's head, it turned into gloating.

Xiao Zuochen's face darkened and he spoke in a questioning tone.

"You ask me? I want to ask you, what is the situation of the daughter of the Gu family assassinating the emperor? Why would she assassinate Xiao Zuoming?"

As Xiao Zuochen asked, he took off the phoenix crown on his head, took a step forward and sat on the stool, then poured himself a cup of tea.

General Bai sat up straight.

"Haven't you investigated the background of the girl from the Gu family? She suddenly tried to assassinate Xiao Zuoming in the main hall, but was eventually killed by Mu Dai. But judging from her posture when she was doing it, she doesn't know any martial arts at all."

Xiao Zuochen pondered for a while and said.

"We have checked her background very clearly. She is a concubine of the Gu family. She has never left the house and has always been bullied at home. Xiao Zuoming has never been to the Gu family, so it is impossible for them to know each other. Moreover, Gu Yingning has never contacted anyone, so there is no reason for her to suddenly assassinate the emperor. Moreover, even if someone deliberately contacted her, how would the murderer know that Gu Yingning would definitely be chosen? Unless the murderer knows our plan!"

As Xiao Zuochen thought about this, he couldn't help but think of someone. And General Bai's words further confirmed his thoughts.

"I have a clue, but I don't know if it can be considered a clue. I remember that when she was facing me, her eyes were black, without whites. But when she died, I went to check and they had returned to normal. I thought I had seen it wrong, but I don't think I had seen it wrong!"

When Xiao Zuochen heard this, he was certain.

"You read it right. It was Yu who did it. She cast a spell on Gu Yingning."

"What? Doesn't she want to leave the palace? Why would she do such a thing at this time!?"

"It's not that she doesn't want to leave the palace, she just hates Xiao Zuoming, or to be more precise, Emperor Mingren. She wanted to kill Emperor Mingren when she left the palace, but she didn't expect that by coincidence, she would call the brides back."
