Looking at Tai'an from the full moon

"It's only the hour now, how come they've already gone to bed? There's not even anyone guarding it."

Although Zuo Xin was weak, it was only physically weak. Her mind was still working. Xiao Zuoming had been watching her closely these days, and there were more guards than ever before. She had secretly gone out to check several times a day, so she noticed something strange around her as soon as she was rescued.

"It's a long story, but to put it simply, there's a traitor in the city!"

"cough!"

Yun Bai coughed heavily, as if to remind Yun Feng not to talk nonsense. Zuo Xin seemed to have noticed something was wrong, and she also kept silent and did not ask any more questions. Besides, now was not the time to ask about this matter.

"Where's Long Eyebrow?"

Just as Zuo Xin was asking about Wei Changmei's whereabouts, she saw two figures running towards her from the other side of the path. To be exact, there were three figures, and one of the guards was carrying Wei Changmei on his back.

Unlike Zuo Xin, Wei Changmei was not given medicine, so she looked much better than Zuo Xin. However, she was tormented by the maid in the past two days, and her mental state was not very good.

"Long Eyebrow, are you okay?"

When he saw Zuo Xin, Wei Changmei finally reacted.

"Zuo Xin...are we...escaping?"

"Ok!"

Zuo Xin nodded weakly, but from her frown it was clear that she had already used up all her strength.

After getting Zuo Xin's affirmative answer, Wei Changmei suddenly sniffed and then started crying.

"..."

The guard who was carrying her almost tripped over his shoulder. He had never met anyone who could cry on his back.

"Hey~ You... stop crying, stop crying! Don't attract the enemy again~"

Zuo Xin wanted to comfort Wei Changmei, but she didn't know how to say it, so she could only "threaten" her with this reason.

Wei Changmei actually listened to it and immediately closed her mouth. Less than a second after she closed her mouth, Yun Feng beside her opened his mouth rudely.

"It's okay~ We are already some distance away from the enemy camp, they can't hear you crying~"

Then, Wei Changmei started crying again as if he had been "permitted". Unfortunately, Yun Feng couldn't see it, because Zuo Xin on his back was looking at him with a pout and a look of disdain.

Behind them, flames were already rising to the sky. It was Yunqiao and his men who had set fire to the enemy's granary. In the originally quiet night, they could hear the enemy's noise from a distance.

Zuo Xin and Wei Changmei were also attracted by the voice and turned to look.

"Did Xiao Zuochen plan all this?"

Zuo Xin asked curiously.

"No, that was the stupid emperor's own plan!"

Four guards escorted the two concubines back to Wangyan City smoothly. The moment she saw Xiao Zuochen again, Wei Changmei subconsciously hid behind Zuo Xin. Although this action was inconspicuous, it was seen by Xiao Zuochen. Zuo Xin also noticed that Wei Changmei was hiding behind her. She just thought that Wei Changmei was frightened these days and was a little nervous. She pulled her out with one hand and patted her back with the other hand to comfort her.

"It's okay, we are safe~ Don't worry~"

However, with Zuo Xin's comfort, Wei Changmei still just stared at Xiao Zuochen cautiously, as if he was afraid that he would blame him.

Seeing this, Xiao Zuochen asked Yun Feng and the others to retreat and guard outside first. There were only him, Wei Changmei and Zuo Xin in the room. This way, she would be able to speak more easily if she had anything to say.

"what happened to you?"

Xiao Zuochen tried to slow down his tone as much as possible to avoid scaring Wei Changmei. He was not sure whether Wei Changmei had experienced anything.

"sorry..."

Wei Changmei squeezed out these words from the crack of his throat, but it sounded as if nothing had been heard.

"what?"

Xiao Zuochen didn't hear it clearly at all. Even Zuo Xin, who was closest to Wei Changmei, didn't hear it clearly. She stared at Wei Changmei with wide eyes and curiosity.

"I say!..."

Wei Changmei took a deep breath.

"...sorry!"

The apology made Zuo Xin and Xiao Zuochen freeze in their places. Zuo Xin didn't move, but she turned her eyes to the left to look at Wei Changmei, and to the right to look at Xiao Zuochen, and a big drama had already been made up in her mind.

No way? Are they doing something behind my back? Otherwise, why would they apologize? Hmm~ And Xiao Zuochen's voice was too gentle tonight, it was really strange!

Zuo Xin was describing the direction of the drama in her mind when Xiao Zuochen also spoke.

"Why apologize?"

This is also what Zuo Xin wanted to know. Her big eyes moved to the left again and looked at Wei Changmei.

Wei Changmei did not continue to be shy and spoke directly.

"I wrote the letter asking for help. Mu Dai threatened me with the life of a maid, so I had no choice but to write that letter..."

Xiao Zuochen didn't expect that she wanted to apologize for this matter. He was about to say that it didn't matter. After all, whether she wrote the letter or not, it would not affect his pace of saving people.

But Zuo Xin, who was standing by, felt a little angry after hearing this.

"You actually wrote a letter asking for help? Which maid are you talking about?"

"It's the one who brings me food every day..."

Zuo Xin heard this and shook her head.

"You are confused, Changmei. Fortunately, Xiao Zuochen is not stupid. Otherwise, if your letter for help affected his emotions and made him make a mistake in judgment, it would not just be a maid who would be in trouble. It is possible that the entire Wangyan City would be destroyed by this letter!"

"Zuo Xin, it's okay now."

Seeing Zuo Xin was a little agitated, Xiao Zuochen spoke to comfort her. He didn't want Wei Changmei to feel guilty about this matter, and he didn't want there to be any estrangement between them.

But reality seemed to give Xiao Zuochen a slap in the face. Zuo Xin reached out to stop Xiao Zuochen from speaking, and looked at Wei Changmei with a serious face.

"That maid is from the enemy army. Although she may be innocent, we must not let an entire city be destroyed because of one person. Do you hear me?"

Contrary to Xiao Zuochen's expectations, there was no reluctance on Wei Changmei's face. Instead, he nodded towards Zuo Xin obediently.

"Next time you do something, you must think it through. You are too soft-hearted. Xiao Zuoming saw this and used your maid to provoke you. Why didn't he provoke me?"

"I know, I know~"

Wei Changmei directly took Zuo Xin's arm and shook it coquettishly, as if "begging" her to stop talking.

Zuo Xin sighed and calmed herself down.

"Okay, okay, this won't happen again~"

Seeing the two of them calm down like this, Xiao Zuochen's eyes almost popped out.

"What? Are you still busy?"

Zuo Xin met Xiao Zuochen's gaze and asked.

"No, no."

Xiao Zuochen now realized that Zuo Xin had a much worse temper than him when she got angry.

"Then let's go back home first, it's too late."

Xiao Zuochen nodded. Although he still had questions to ask them, it was indeed too late now. He would rather talk about it tomorrow.

He called Yun Feng and others in and escorted the two back to the Shadow Mansion.
