Looking at Tai'an from the full moon

Chapter 236 Wanting the Throne

Three days later, Xiao Zuochen invited his two royal brothers to drink again, but the difference was that this time they drank in a brothel.

"Third brother, three days have passed. I'm sure you have already made a decision in your heart."

The woman in charge of serving poured wine for the three of them. Xiao Zuoming glanced at the woman, then looked at Xiao Zuochen and winked, as if to say, "There are outsiders here~"

Xiao Zuochen picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all in one gulp. Xiao Zuoqing beside him also drank a glass.

"It's okay. All the people in this brothel are mine. It's okay for them to listen to it."

Seeing Xiao Zuochen's calm look, Xiao Zuoming hesitated for a few seconds and suddenly spoke in his lowest voice.

“&*%+~!@”

"what?"

Xiao Zuochen only saw his mouth moving, and didn't hear what he said at all. Xiao Zuoming leaned forward, rested his elbows on the table, and put his hands to his mouth.

"I said I agree with your proposal!"

The voice was still very low, but this time Xiao Zuochen understood it by following his mouth shape. Xiao Zuochen knew why he said that, but Xiao Zuoqing was completely puzzled.

What is he doing? Why does he feel a little bit "stealing"?

Xiao Zuoming looked at Xiao Zuochen's calmness and Xiao Zuoqing's confusion, pointed outside the door to Xiao Zuoqing, then put his hand to his ear and made a listening gesture.

"What do you mean?"

Xiao Zuoqing didn't understand at all. Xiao Zuochen explained.

"He means 'the walls have ears'."

Xiao Zuoming's eyes lit up and he gave Xiao Zuochen a thumbs up. Xiao Zuoqing frowned, still puzzled by his behavior. Xiao Zuochen continued.

"Don't worry, this is a brothel, and there are people patrolling each floor. Moreover, this is my territory. If my men can't even find someone eavesdropping on my conversation, then they don't have to receive this salary~"

Xiao Zuoming nodded with relief. He always believed in Xiao Zuochen's words.

Then Xiao Zuochen explained to Xiao Zuoqing.

"Yue Ying, the Miao maid beside him, would not allow him to abdicate, so she keeps an eye on him every day. She was going to follow him today, but was stopped by my people."

Xiao Zuoqing was surprised when he heard this.

"How can a mere maid interfere with your decision to abdicate?"

Having said this, Xiao Zuoming couldn't help but reveal a desperate expression. He knelt on one knee and stretched out his hand towards the two of them.

"Big Brother, Sixth Brother, you two must help me with this matter!"

"What's going on here?"

Xiao Zuochen's people had been keeping an eye on Xiao Zuoming, so he knew everything that had happened in the past few days. But Xiao Zuoqing had no idea what had happened to Xiao Zuoming. He only knew that he had stayed indoors for the past few days, and thought that he was having fun with the maid.

"You don't know, this Miao woman is Emperor Mingren's person, she thought I was Emperor Mingren, so she risked her life to save me. But on the first night she found out that I was not, and tortured me, and finally I had to tell her what happened between Emperor Mingren and me~

Then, in the past two days, I have lived with her under the same roof, and she is simply like an ancestor! I have to serve her food every day, and give her my bed to sleep in at night. If I do something that is not to her liking, she will beat me up. This is a great humiliation for me!

Look, here is the evidence!"

Xiao Zuoming said, pulling up his sleeves. Xiao Zuochen covered his mouth and laughed secretly, but Xiao Zuoqing came closer curiously. Upon closer inspection, there were only two light red marks on Xiao Zuoming's arm, probably from being slapped twice, and there was not even a blue spot on the skin.

"That's it?"

Xiao Zuoqing raised his eyebrows. What was there to say? This intensity was not as strong as when he flirted with the princess. Thinking of this, he didn't know how his princess was doing in Tai'an City.

"That's all? Didn't you see that both of them are red? That shows how hard she hit you~"

Xiao Zuoqing ignored him, and Xiao Zuochen poured wine and tasted it. Seeing that the two of them didn't want to pay attention to him, Xiao Zuoming hugged himself and looked angry.

After a while, Xiao Zuoming looked at Xiao Zuochen and suddenly became curious.

"Why... did you start drinking? I remember you almost never drank before."

Xiao Zuochen paused for a moment and smiled.

"Maybe it's because my health has improved."

"You really have the blessing of the Bodhisattva. All those precious herbs didn't heal your body before, but now it's healed~"

"If you have time to be curious about me, you might as well take care of yourself. Yueying is Emperor Mingren's person, and she will definitely tell Mu Dai about your situation when you return."

Xiao Zuoming didn't know the seriousness of the matter at this time, and shrugged his shoulders indifferently.

"So what? They won't depose me as the emperor, will they? The imperial edict clearly stated that I would succeed to the throne, and the others didn't know that it was Emperor Mingren who was behind this.

Besides, Mu Dai is a eunuch, so what difference does it make who is his master? Why should he care about this~"

Xiao Zuochen curled his lips and smiled, as if mocking Xiao Zuoming for still not understanding anything.

"Mu Dai is Xiao Zuoming's man, because Mu Dai was Mu Yi back then."

Xiao Zuoming was stunned and didn't know whether to put down or raise the wine glass in his hand.

"You mean he also..."

"Of course, with Emperor Mingren's temperament, he would not risk his own life. He would definitely send someone to try the forbidden technique in advance to see if there are any side effects. Mu Yi is already old, and he is Emperor Mingren's man, so it is most appropriate for him to experiment. If it succeeds, Mu Yi will have a new young body and can always protect Emperor Mingren. Emperor Mingren will also dare to experiment personally, which is a win-win situation. If it fails, Mu Yi will just live a few years less, and Emperor Mingren will at most feel regretful."

Xiao Zuoming's eyes widened.

"I'm afraid this world is going crazy!"

"And Mu Dai knows martial arts, did you know that?"

"Ah? I haven't seen him... Well, I didn't notice..."

What can Xiao Zuoming say? It can only be his own problem.

Xiao Zuoqing seemed to understand why Xiao Zuochen brought up this matter.

"So what you mean is that if Mu Dai knew that Xiao Zuoming was no longer Emperor Ming Ren, he might do something else?"

Xiao Zuochen nodded.

"You know, he has already tasted the sweetness of forbidden techniques. If he has contact with people from Miaojiang, what do you think will happen to him?"

"I will change into a normal male body, then find a job, marry and have children."

Xiao Zuochen shook his head.

"As a favorite of the emperor, he already has a lot of power. When he has had good things, he will only want better things."

Only then did Xiao Zuoming react.

"You mean...he wants the throne!"
