Looking at Tai'an from the full moon

That night, the sound of the wind outside the tent made people feel cold, and there was no light inside the tent. But through the campfire outside the tent, one could still roughly see the layout of the tent.

Wei Changmei was curled up on the couch alone at this time, shivering slightly.

"Is everything done?"

Suddenly, a man's voice came from outside the tent. It was Xiao Zuoming's. At this time, the shadows of two people were also projected onto the tent where Wei Changmei was, stretching out very long.

"Don't worry, the emperor has taken care of it~"

Mu Dai lowered his voice and spoke softly.

The sound outside paused, then came again.

"How is she?"

Mu Dai seemed to look in the direction of the tent.

"It's still the same, but don't worry, Your Majesty, I will keep an eye on her and won't let anything happen to her~"

"Ah."

Xiao Zuoming nodded, then whispered something to Mu Dai and left.

When Wei Changmei heard the voices of Xiao Zuoming and Mu Dai, he reflexively covered his ears with both hands and huddled his body even tighter.

After Xiao Zuoming left, Mu Dai walked into the tent where Wei Changmei was alone, and looked at the corner of the couch with the help of the faint firelight. After seeing Wei Changmei's huddled figure, he stretched out the whisk in his hand and swept her with a look of disgust.

"Eh?"

Mu Dai made a sound, as if to remind her of his arrival. Wei Changmei also felt someone beside him, and his whole body trembled. Instead, he shrank his body tighter, not looking in Mu Dai's direction at all.

Seeing her like this, Mu Dai also felt very bored. He had known for a long time that the eldest daughter of the Wei family had been weak and timid since childhood, but he did not expect that after following Xiao Zuochen for so many years, she still looked like she could not stand the world.

Mu Dai put away the whisk and spoke with an impatient look on his face.

"The Emperor said that if we capture a few capable guards around Prince Yun tonight, the credit will be given to you! After he puts down the rebellion, maybe he can even make you a noble concubine~"

After hearing what Mu Dai said, Wei Changmei immediately sat up and questioned.

"Have you already delivered the letter for help to Xiao Zuochen!?"

Wei Changmei seemed a little bit unbelievable. She didn't want to write that letter at first. During the days when she and Zuo Xin were captured, Xiao Zuoming arranged a maid to deliver meals to them every day. The maid would also secretly give them some news about Xiao Zuochen to reassure them. Originally, they were expecting Xiao Zuochen to defeat Xiao Zuoming so that they could leave this dire situation as soon as possible. But it seemed that because Xiao Zuoming had been unable to get the upper hand from Xiao Zuochen, he planned to use himself and Zuo Xin to force Xiao Zuochen.

But despite this, Xiao Zuochen still did not compromise, which led Xiao Zuoming to want to take his anger out on them. However, because their families were officials in the court, Xiao Zuoming did not want to cause any trouble in the court, so he took away the maid who had been taking care of them for the past few days and tortured her severely, in order to force them.

It was also because Xiao Zuoming brought Wei Changmei to the torture room, allowing her to see with her own eyes the maid being tortured beyond recognition and hear her desperate screams with her own ears, that this was why she wrote the letter for help - only if she wrote it, would Xiao Zuoming give her relief.

But now, the maid's tragic screams still lingered in her ears, and it seemed that the sound would follow her forever.

The maid did nothing wrong, it was all because of me. Wei Changmei blamed himself deeply.

"Of course~"

Kido seemed quite pleased with his answer.

"That was a letter for help you wrote yourself. I'm sure His Royal Highness Prince Yun will not leave you alone!"

Mu Dai just said this and made a move to leave. But as soon as he turned around, he seemed to have thought of something and turned back to Wei Changmei.

"Oh, right. When Wei Taibao heard the news about you in Tai'an City, he collapsed due to anger. If you ask me, you should just listen to the emperor and help him solve the current war as soon as possible. Then you can return to Wei Taibao's side. You should also know that due to Wei Taibao's health, he can no longer serve the country. But the emperor appreciates his past contributions, so he has always kept him in the position of Taibao. But how long he can stay in this position depends on the performance of your Wei family!"

Mu Dai warned Wei Changmei, and when he was sure she understood, he left. Wei Changmei was left alone in the dim environment. She murmured something in a trance.

"Zuo Xin, what should we do..."

On the other side of the enemy camp, far away from Wei Changmei's tent, there was a small tent surrounded by a large iron cage. The reason why the tent was called small was that it seemed that there was no room for anything else except a bed.

Mu Dai came to the iron cage and knocked on the cage door. After a while, a pale-faced woman who looked like she was about to fall down stuck her head out from inside, holding the tent and the iron cage. That person was Zuo Xin.

It wasn't that Zuo Xin had been tortured inhumanely, but because Xiao Zuo knew that she was good at martial arts, so he put muscle softening powder in her food every day. She and Wei Changmei were captured not because the people sent by the other party were so powerful, but because they were poisoned by the muscle softening powder that night!

She still remembered that the night before the enemy attacked Wangyan City, she and Wei Changmei brought wine and meat to Wei Yang, originally wanting them to join the ranks of military doctors to help share the burden, and Wei Yang readily agreed. But for some reason, after drinking and eating, the three of them suddenly became drowsy and fell asleep. When they woke up, she and Wei Changmei were already in the enemy camp. And Wei Yang, I heard that her leg was also injured.

During the days in the enemy camp, Zuo Xin also discovered that they had been putting drugs in her food. She had refused to eat the first few meals, but Mu Dai threatened her that if she didn't eat, Wei Changmei would end up like the maid. Now that she was in the enemy camp, all she could do for Wei Changmei was to be obedient.

When Mu Dai saw Zuo Xin’s murderous look, he couldn’t help but sigh.

"Look at you, the daughter of the prime minister, why did you insist on learning martial arts? Now you have made yourself look like this."

While shaking her head, Mu Dai motioned to the soldier beside her to hand her the bowl of soup.

"what is this?"

The soup was brought to her mouth and Zuo Xin asked subconsciously.

"What do you care what it is? Can you not drink it?"

Mu Dai's threatening tone made Zuo Xin very unhappy, but she really had no power to refuse. She stared at the bowl of soup for a while, but that made Mu Dai impatient again.

"Hurry up, we have to go back to bed!"

At Mu Dai's urging, the soldier beside him directly picked up the bowl of soup with one hand and pinched her chin with the other hand to pour it directly into her mouth. Zuo Xin choked and started coughing, and the soup spilled all over the floor while she struggled.

Zuo Xin raised her weak arm to wipe the corner of her mouth, and looked at Mu Dai with hatred in her eyes.

Although most of the soup spilled, Zuo Xin still drank a lot of it. Seeing her swallow the soup, Mu Dai showed a satisfied look on his face and waved to the little soldier beside him to take the bowl away.

"Look, whether you listen or not, the end result will be the same. But as long as you listen, no one will suffer. Let's go!"

After saying this, Mu Dai left with his soldiers.
