Looking at Tai'an from the full moon

"What's going on? Was he injured by Mu Dai?"

After Xiao Zuoming was taken away, Xiao Zuochen quickly asked about their injuries and asked another guard to call a military doctor.

"Master, that eunuch's martial arts skills are far superior to ours. It took the combined efforts of Eleven and I to barely hold off his attack. It's all my fault that I didn't learn the skills well enough to lose to a eunuch!"

Xiao Zuochen frowned. It's not that he hadn't thought that Mu Dai's martial arts skills would be very high, but to be able to injure two of his guards at the same time in such a short time, his strength must be quite good, maybe even higher than Yun Wei. If this is the case...

Although the current situation is not optimistic, it has not led to a bad ending. Xiao Zuochen patted them on the shoulders and comforted them.

"Yunlou, Eleven, you have done your best. Muyi is much older than you two, so it is normal that his martial arts skills are higher than yours. No matter how powerful he is, he is alone, and our advantage lies in the strength of all of us. We are not afraid of Concubine Yun, so why should we worry about Mudai?"

Xiao Zuochen gave them a few more instructions and then let them go back to heal their wounds.

After everyone left, the originally "lively" room suddenly became quiet. Xiao Zuochen took off his coat, blew out the candle, and just as he sat back on the bed, he couldn't help but sigh.

First, he lamented that Xiao Zuoming ignored the overall situation. He had gradually taken control of his body, but he refused to give up for the throne. Second, he lamented that he had done his best for the people around him, but there were still traitors. Third, he lamented that he had no intention of the throne, but he had to work hard to deal with the current situation.

"A sin!"

Xiao Zuochen shook his head, feeling that it was unfair for him. He fell flat on the bed, crossed his hands on his abdomen, stared at the roof with his eyes open in the dark, wondering what he was thinking.

Perhaps because it was almost dawn, a few birds could be faintly heard outside.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp~ chirp, chirp, chirp~"

Xiao Zuochen, who was about to fall asleep, was awakened by these noises. He turned over and prepared to fall asleep again.

"Choo Choo Choo--"

Soon, the bird calls seemed to be closer, and Xiao Zuochen had to cover his head with the quilt. Even gods need to sleep, not to mention him as a mortal. He really wanted to sleep now.

"Choo Choo Choo!"

Although he was covered with a quilt, the bird's cry seemed to be right next to his ears. Xiao Zuochen was so angry that he opened the quilt and was about to sit up.

"boom--"

"what!"

"Ah~"

Before Xiao Zuochen could get up, he heard a dull crash and two screams.

"What are you doing!"

"Who!?"

Two voices sounded at the same time, and the two of them covered their foreheads with their teeth bared and looked at each other. Taking advantage of the slightly bright sky and the other party's voice, Xiao Zuochen was startled.

"Chu Yao?"

Yes, the only one who dared to play tricks on Xiao Zuochen so early in the morning before dawn was Chu Yao.

Chu Yao was holding his forehead at this time. He never expected that Xiao Zuochen would suddenly stand up in anger.

"You got up so hard, I felt like my skull was going to crack!"

Chu Yao sat down beside Xiao Zuochen's bed with a look of grievance, still holding his forehead with his hand. It seemed that he would need to relax for a while.

"I was just about to fall asleep and you were beside me, chirping like a bird, disturbing me. Of course I would get up in anger."

"Humph~ You weren't like this before. You even slept so late. It's obvious that you've been under a lot of pressure lately, and your temper has become worse!"

Xiao Zuochen smiled bitterly, not knowing what to explain, so he sat in the corner of the bed and looked at Chu Yao.

Chu Yao seemed to have recovered a little, and turned his head to look back at Xiao Zuochen, who was staring at him with his eyes open. However, his eyes were no longer as bright as before, but were instead filled with fatigue.

Chu Yaowei opened his mouth and was about to ask something, but he didn't say anything. They hadn't seen each other for a long time, so naturally he had a lot to ask, but they were together now, so there was no rush.

"Go to sleep first, I'll be by your side."

Xiao Zuochen smiled and nodded.

"You've been traveling all the way here, and you must not have slept at this hour. Let's sleep together. This bed is big enough."

"Okay, go to sleep!"

"Ah."

Perhaps because Chu Yao was by his side, Xiao Zuochen fell asleep exceptionally quickly, and soon his even breathing could be heard.

"Xiao Zuochen?"

As if wanting to confirm whether Xiao Zuochen was asleep or not, Chu Yao whispered something tentatively. The only sound in the room was the silence of the air and Xiao Zuochen's breathing.

Without getting a response from Xiao Zuochen, Chu Yao also closed his eyes. As soon as he finished dealing with the internal affairs of Shenyin Pavilion, he threw the remaining trivial matters to the elders, and he was anxious to see Xiao Zuochen.

I don't know how long it took, but it was already daybreak. However, because I slept too late the day before, the door of the room was still not opened until noon.

"Lord Wei, the master is still sleeping inside, you..."

Yun Feng was guarding the door. Originally, guarding the door was done by soldiers, and the guards would wander around in their spare time. But after knowing that there was a traitor in Wangyan City, Yun Feng no longer trusted the people on the side of City Lord Wei. And last night when he went back, Yun Qian said some strange things to him, which meant that from a woman's intuition, Wei Yang had other intentions towards Xiao Zuochen. But then Yun Feng didn't understand. If City Lord Wei was interested in his master, shouldn't he help him?

Wei Yang originally wanted to push the door open to see why Xiao Zuochen hadn't gotten up yet, but was suddenly stopped outside the door by Yun Feng. He couldn't help but feel a little funny.

"Yun Feng, what are you doing? I just want to see if Ah Chen is up. Isn't it being too polite of you to be on guard against me~"

Wei Yang was not angry at Yun Feng's behavior, and still had a smile on his face. But Yun Feng didn't buy it at all, and his face didn't show any emotion, instead he spoke righteously.

"Lord Wei, men and women should not touch each other. My master likes to undress before sleeping. I'm afraid it's not a good idea for you to rush in like this."

"what?"

Wei Yang was stunned by what Yun Feng said, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a moment.

"Ah Chen and I have known each other since childhood. I treat him as my own brother. Whenever he is in danger, I always come to his rescue. Now that we are husband and wife, why shouldn't I go into the house and see him sleeping?"

"So does City Lord Wei treat our master as his brother or his husband?!"

"..."

Wei Yang didn't expect Yun Feng to ask so bluntly. The hostility in his tone was obvious, and his voice was a little loud, so even the soldiers who were a little further away could hear it. Xiao Zuochen must have been woken up by them.

She had sounded out Xiao Zuochen's opinion, and he had no intention of having sex with her. But it didn't matter. He had no intention of the two concubines at the beginning, but he still married them. He didn't mind others hiding behind him, so she took the opportunity to let Xiao Zuochen marry her as well, to gain a formal status. However, Yun Feng asked this question so bluntly that she didn't know how to answer for a while. Xiao Zuochen hoped that he was talking about the relationship between brother and sister, but if he said that, he would block his future path!

Wei Yang crossed his hands in front of him and clenched them tightly. He tried his best to control the smile on his face. In his heart, he had already remembered Yun Feng.

"squeak--"

Xiao Zuochen's door was pushed open from the inside. He looked up and looked at them, looking very puzzled.

"Huh? Why are you all here so early in the morning?"
