Looking at Tai'an from the full moon

The next morning, Mu Dai dressed up with the help of the maid, and was ready to open the door with a happy face. At the same time, he did not forget to ask the maid to continue to serve him tonight. The maid trembled and whispered, and Mu Dai opened the door with satisfaction.

But before he could take a step forward, he saw the full moon at first sight, which frightened Mu Dai so much that he shuddered.

"Ouch! You scared me!"

Yueying immediately caught a glimpse of the little palace maid kneeling with her head lowered in the room. Having been in the palace for a long time, she naturally knew what had happened in the room last night, but she didn't want to get involved in this trivial matter.

"Master Mu, the emperor has ordered that we were attacked by mountain bandits when we passed the border between Wangyan City and Tai'an City on our way back to the palace. Fortunately, the bandits were finally defeated and fled in all directions. Now I have specially ordered you to take fifty elite soldiers to search for and eliminate the bandits. You must wipe them out completely and not a single one should be spared!"

Mu Dai was stunned for a moment and did not respond immediately.

"Manager Mu, why don't you obey orders?"

Yueying spoke, and Mu Dai frowned and asked in a flattering manner.

"Yue Ying, in the past, the emperor always told us his will directly. Why did he order you to deliver the message today?"

Yueying said without changing her expression or heartbeat.

"Of course it's because I have saved the emperor from danger many times during this period, and with Yue Wu's identity, how could the emperor not believe me? The reason why I didn't wait until Butler Mu was on duty to tell him was because the emperor couldn't wait any longer. You don't know how crazy those bandits are! The emperor didn't even sleep well in the past two days. I wanted to tell Butler Mu early this morning, but Butler Mu seemed to have had too much fun last night and didn't go to serve the emperor earlier today~"

Yueying glanced behind Mudai, and Mudai immediately understood what she meant and said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Oh, this isn't..."

Mu Dai wanted to make some excuses, but was stopped by Yue Ying.

"What's the big deal? Eunuchs and palace maids are allowed to have sex in the palace. I can't possibly interfere in such a private matter, right?"

Yueying patted Mu Dai's shoulder and told him not to be nervous about this matter.

"The most important thing right now is to suppress the bandits. The leaders of those bandits are already dead, and the rest are just some scumbags running around. Plus, the emperor has allocated you an elite force, so this mission is a piece of cake for you."

After hearing Yueying say this, Mu Dai felt a little less guarded.

"Then did the emperor say that after completing this mission, he plans to..."

Mu Dai raised his eyebrows in a hint, and Yue Ying looked as if she suddenly realized something.

"Ah, of course. Think about it, the emperor could have just sent a soldier to do such a simple task, but he chose to let you go. He must want you to take the credit so that you can get a promotion."

"Really? But I have been blessed by the Emperor and I am already the chief steward. Where else can I be promoted~"

There was a gleam in Mu Dai's eyes, and Yue Ying also echoed his nonsense.

"Don't worry, there will definitely be a way to get promoted. Besides, even if you can't get promoted, there are still plenty of rewards. Just focus on fighting bandits."

Mu Dai thought about it and felt that this matter did sound to have advantages and no disadvantages, so he agreed.

"Did the Emperor say when we would set off?"

"Leave now!"

As soon as Mu Dai was sent out by Yue Ying, Xiao Zuoming took people to search his room.

The palace was so busy, and the outside was also busy. Xiao Zuochen ordered the servants to clean up early in the morning, and even hired temporary workers from outside to help with the work. Just as he started, a maid came to the door.

"Your Highness Prince Yun, there is someone claiming to be the maid of Princess Qing standing outside the door and asking to see you."

A servant came running to report.

"Princess Qing's maid? What is she doing here?"

"She didn't say anything, she just said she wanted to see His Royal Highness Prince Yun."

"There's no place for her to stay here, let's talk outside the door~"

Xiao Zuochen walked to the gate, and the little maid outside the door was like grabbing a life-saving straw when she saw Prince Yun. God knows she didn't want to come to Prince Yun's mansion at all. Prince Yun, he is a man with a sharp mind. Asking her to find out information from Prince Yun is like asking for her life! But her master seemed to be possessed, and she suspected that Prince Qing had someone outside.

"Your Highness Prince Yun!"

The little maid bowed politely to Xiao Zuochen.

"Did Princess Qing send you here for something?"

"Princess, I heard that His Royal Highness Prince Yun and the Emperor have returned, but His Royal Highness Prince Qing is missing, so I sent this servant to ask~"

The little maid lowered her head and said this while rubbing her hands nervously. Princess Qing did not allow her to say this because it would make her seem too concerned about the prince. But the little maid felt that there was nothing wrong with this. After all, the husband is the head of the wife, so what's wrong with the princess paying attention to her husband?

Xiao Zuochen looked at the nervous maid and knew that things were not as simple as he said. The Princess Qing must have other ideas.

"Because the emperor and I came back together this time, and there are still some military affairs to be handled in Wangyan City, so I asked my eldest brother to stay. Nianqing is also a little adult, so he can handle military affairs with my eldest brother and learn from experience in advance."

Xiao Zuochen was just talking nonsense. The news that Xiao Zuoqing was imprisoned should not be known to anyone, so this was the most reasonable thing to say.

When the little maid heard this, she bowed.

"I will tell the princess as His Royal Highness Prince Yun said."

"Good~"

Xiao Zuochen thought everything was fine and was about to turn around to go back, but was stopped by the maid again.

"Hey~ Your Highness Prince Yun!"

Xiao Zuochen turned around.

"Is there anything else?"

The little maid scratched her face in embarrassment, but still asked with courage.

"Your Highness Prince Yun, I dare to ask, where is Miss Yunyou?"

These words made Xiao Zuochen stunned, and he spoke after two seconds.

"She is not at home. She is out on a mission."

"But was he with His Royal Highness Prince Qing?"

Xiao Zuochen now understood what Princess Qing had sent him to do, and he said no more.

"If there is nothing else, I will return home first."

Seeing that Prince Yun was going to return to the palace, and that she had asked all the questions she wanted to ask, the little maid hurriedly bowed again and waited respectfully for Prince Yun to enter the palace. As soon as Xiao Zuochen left her sight, she immediately turned around and ran towards Prince Qing's palace.

"If anyone from the Qing Palace comes again in the future, there is no need to notify me. I will just send them away."

Xiao Zuochen said to the servant beside him.

"Yes!"

As for Mu Dai, it was already dark when he arrived at the location designated by Xiao Zuoming.

"Manager Mu, it's getting dark. Let's take a rest tonight and search for those bandits tomorrow."

A soldier kindly reminded them that it was late at night and the bandits could not just hang around outside and wait to be caught.

But Mushiro doesn't think so.

"No! The longer we wait, the easier it will be for these bandits to escape. The emperor's order is to root them out. We'll start searching tonight and don't leave any corner untouched!"

"Yes!"
