Looking at Tai'an from the full moon

It is said that the Fourth Princess, who had separated from Princess Jiashan, had originally intended to find the Sixth Prince to ask him why he cared about her affairs. However, Xiao Zuochen walked too fast, and the Fourth Princess did not see him again after leaving the inner courtyard. When she finally found him, he was leaving the Princess's Mansion in a hurry.

The fourth princess, dragging her long skirt behind her, gave up after just two steps because she could not catch up at all.

But who is the man with the Sixth Prince? He looks... not bad!

The fourth princess, who had no chance to talk to Xiao Zuochen, turned around and returned to the banquet. The eldest princess was no longer on the main seat, so she sat back on the stage. Soon, some daughters of officials came to chat with her, but they were not daughters of high-ranking officials.

The fourth princess rarely attended such occasions, because the queen would not go out of the palace to attend such banquets. At the banquets held in the palace, people did not dare to approach the fourth princess in front of the emperor. So she was very happy that so many people came to talk to her at this time. Everyone felt that the fourth princess did not have any princess airs, at least compared with the eldest princess.

......

At night, Chu Yao was lying on the bed with his legs crossed, his legs still shaking. He was frowning and thinking about something.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door - it was Xiao Zuochen.

Chu Yao immediately got out of bed and went to open the door.

"coming!?"

Chu Yao blinked his bright eyes and looked at Xiao Zuochen with excitement.

Seeing his happy look, Xiao Zuochen raised his eyebrows and smiled bitterly.

"It's really difficult for you to wait until now."

"I can't wait any longer and I'm going to find you!"

As Chu Yao spoke, he poked his head out and looked left and right.

"What are you looking for?"

Xiao Zuochen was puzzled.

"Is Yun Wei back?"

Yun Wei was sent by Xiao Zuochen to follow the big man at that time.

"Not yet. He will come back and tell us if he has any news."

"Ah."

Chu Yao stepped out of the room, turned around and closed the door, then walked out of Prince Yun's Mansion with Xiao Zuochen and slipped towards the mansion where the eldest princess had gone during the day.

When the two arrived outside the mansion, they did not go in through the back door. It was dark anyway, so they climbed over the wall next to the main door. However, after entering, they found that the mansion was very strange. Not only was there no light, but it also felt empty. There seemed to be nothing on display. When they walked, they felt that there were weeds all under their feet. The further they walked, the more they felt that they must have lost their way. In addition, there were no people living in the mansion, and it was basically dark.

"Where is this? I told you we should come in during the day. It's pitch dark here and we can't even tell the way!"

Chu Yao couldn't help but mutter, and as he walked he even moved closer to Xiao Zuochen, until finally he got close to him and pulled up his sleeves with both hands.

Being stuck to Chu Yao, Xiao Zuochen couldn't walk fast at all, and was even tripped by Chu Yao a few times. Then he angrily swung his arms, trying to throw Chu Yao, who was sticking to him, aside.

"How can you...! You are such a grown up, but you are still afraid of the dark?"

Xiao Zuochen looked disgusted.

"I was..."

Chu Yao was about to explain something when he heard a strange sound coming from not far away.

"Aww——"

It was a wolf howl! Xiao Zuochen, who originally disliked Chu Yao, suddenly hugged Chu Yao after hearing the wolf howl.

"What!?"

Xiao Zuochen widened his eyes and looked around vigilantly. Why is there a wolf howling?

Chu Yao stared at him with eyes wide open.

"Are you...afraid of wolves?"

When Xiao Zuochen heard this, he let go of his arms with a fake smile and looked like "Who wants to hug you".

"nonsense.

Just as Xiao Zuochen was about to retort, another wolf howl was heard not far away, and Xiao Zuochen subconsciously hugged Chu Yao again, who had just been released. This time, it was confirmed that he was afraid of wolves.

"Oh~ You are just afraid of wolves!"

Chu Yao seemed to have discovered some shocking secret. He looked at Xiao Zuochen excitedly and pointed at him.

Xiao Zuochen angrily reached out and slapped away the hand that was pointing at him.

“Is this the point!?”

“Hahaha, that’s kind of~”

Chu Yao was laughing while Xiao Zuochen was glaring at him. After a few seconds, Chu Yao felt that his laugh was a bit awkward and he had to restrain his expression. Then he asked under Xiao Zuochen's angry gaze.

"Why do you think there are wolves howling around here?"

Chu Yao clenched his right fist and smashed it into his left palm, with an expression of disbelief and anger on his face. That artificial expression made Xiao Zuochen roll his eyes.

"From the sound it seems to be not far away, how about I go and take a look?"

Chu Yao made a tentative suggestion.

"You dare to try one!"

Xiao Zuochen seemed to be gritting his teeth.

Chu Yao raised his eyebrows, not daring to move, and stood obediently beside Xiao Zuochen.

Just when the two didn't know which way to go or what to do, Yun Wei came. At that moment, the two felt like a god had descended from heaven.

"master."

"came back?"

Xiao Zuochen felt relieved when he saw Yun Wei, but he remained calm. Chu Yao, who was standing by, saw Yun Wei and immediately revealed his true nature, rushing over.

"Yun Wei~ This family can't live without you! We are lost in this small courtyard and hear wolves howling. Life is so difficult~"

Yun Wei frowned and asked seriously.

"So, Mr. Chu, are you crying like a ghost now?"

"what?"

Chu Yao didn't react.

Xiao Zuochen gave a very “thoughtful” explanation.

“Ghosts crying, wolves howling.”

When Chu Yao heard this, he thought that Yun Wei didn't believe it.

"Really, there really was a wolf howling. If you don't believe me, ask your master!"

Yun Wei turned his head and looked at his master. Xiao Zuochen also nodded at him.

"I called out twice just now, but now there is no sound."

Chu Yao also nodded like a chick pecking at rice and asked again.

"But how did you know to come here to find us?"

"My master asked me to follow that big man during the day. When I returned to the palace just now, there was no one in my master's room. I went to Mr. Chu's room again, but there was still no one there. So I guessed that my master and Mr. Chu should have come here. But I just walked around the outside and felt that there should be no one in the whole palace because I didn't see a single light."

"Not a single light?"

Xiao Zuochen thought, there is no light, which means that this mansion is usually uninhabited. It seems that this mansion is used for some hidden things. No wonder the princess did not get off the car when the driver stopped in front during the day, and went all the way to the back door. When she got off the car, she glared at the driver.

"The princess is really rich. She bought a mansion but doesn't live in it."

Chu Yao sighed on the side.

"In fact, we should confirm whether this mansion belongs to the eldest princess."

"The eldest princess can come and go freely, is there any need to confirm this?"

"That's true... But if this mansion really belongs to the princess, and she didn't tell anyone about it, and there's not even a plaque on the door, then there must be something wrong!"

Yun Wei also nodded, but Chu Yao didn't understand.

Although "What's going on?"

"That means she must be using this blessed land to do something bad!"

"Oh~ Then just tell me! In that case, why don't we..."

Chu Yao looked at Xiao Zuochen and raised his eyebrows again.

Chu Yao now found that although Xiao Zuochen always said that he was not smart and disliked that he was not careful and thorough in doing things, they were both curious about things they didn't know. Every time he did something "bad", he agreed.

Xiao Zuochen looked at his expression and smiled, then continued what he was saying.

"Then let's split up tomorrow. Yun Wei and I will go meet the big man and see if we can get anything out of him. You take Yixing to the Princess's mansion and see if we can find the title deed."

"Why don't I go to meet the big man, and you go to the princess's mansion to look for the title deed? If I'm discovered by the princess, I won't be able to get away!"

"How could that be? I tell you, you just have to..."

Xiao Zuochen leaned over to Chu Yao's ear and whispered something. Yun Wei was right beside him, and with his hearing ability, he could hear it clearly. His eyebrows first raised, then frowned, and then the corners of his mouth cracked, and he looked at Chu Yao with a hint of...sympathy.

"Huh? Isn't it?"

Chu Yao was also shocked when he heard what Xiao Zuochen said.

Xiao Zuochen nodded firmly.

"But I believe you won't go this far!"

"I still think it would be better for you to go to the Princess's Mansion..."

"Don't say any more. It's decided! You have a general understanding of the structure of the Princess's Mansion today. I will draw a detailed map for you tomorrow."

After saying that, he patted Yun Wei on the shoulder, signaling him to take the two lost people back home.

Only Chu Yao was left crying like a ghost in the back.

"No way~ big brother!"
