Looking at Tai'an from the full moon

The next day, after practicing in the early morning, Chu Yao seemed to have mustered up a lot of courage and asked a question.

"Why can't we sneak into the princess's mansion at night instead of going in during the day? Isn't it safer at night? We can go together."

When Xiao Zuochen heard Chu Yao ask this, he was stunned for a moment. In Chu Yao's eyes, Xiao Zuochen was stunned for a moment because he didn't expect there was such a solution. But in Xiao Zuochen's view, he didn't expect Chu Yao to react.

According to Xiao Zuochen's usual style, he would definitely want to go at night. However, the reason why Chu Yao went during the day was partly because he would get lost in places he had never been to. Another major reason was that he wanted to "do something bad." So he made up a random excuse.

"Because I need to sleep at night."

Ok?

Chu Yao frowned in confusion. This reason seemed to make sense, but it also seemed...

"But I can stay awake. Then I can go by myself?"

Chu Yao scratched his head, feeling that something was wrong.

"If you go there alone at night and are discovered by the princess, you won't be able to explain yourself. I suggest you go during the day so that your explanation will make sense."

Chu Yao nodded as if he understood, but after a while, he seemed to figure something out.

"Since it's for safety, it would be safer for you to go to the Princess's Mansion! And it's more reliable."

"Yeah, indeed."

Xiao Zuochen nodded, and a smile gradually appeared on Chu Yao's face. He thought Xiao Zuochen agreed to exchange tasks with him.

"But I just want to interrogate that big guy."

Xiao Zuochen crossed his arms, raised the corners of his mouth and looked at Chu Yao.

"Okay, okay, whatever you want."

Chu Yao felt that he couldn't persuade him no matter what he said, so he just gave up.

"Then when shall I go?"

"You can do it anytime you want."

"Then when are you going to interrogate that big man?"

"nighttime then."

"Why so late? Hasn't he been arrested?"

Xiao Zuochen had an expression that said, "This is what you don't understand."

"It's because we've already caught him, and now we're leaving him alone. Just think about it, he's in the hands of the enemy, but no one has interrogated him all day. Do you think he's having a very torturous day?"

Chu Yao stared and nodded, as if he had suddenly realized something.

"Are you planning to torture his mind first and then his body?"

Xiao Zuochen didn't reply. He wiped his slightly sweaty face with a towel, then put the towel on the plate held by Yan Luo. As he walked into the house, he turned his back to Chu Yao and waved.

Chu Yao grinned at his back and prepared to get up and go back to his room. Although Xiao Zuochen didn't care about him, he could find help!

So, during lunch, Xiao Zuochen waited for Chu Yao for a long time, but no one showed up, so he asked Yan Luo who was standing beside him.

"Isn't he usually very active in eating? Why hasn't he come today?"

Yan Luo shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either. Xiao Zuochen raised his eyebrows.

"Yun Wei."

Xiao Zuochen called out, and Yun Wei appeared immediately. Seeing Yun Wei appear, Xiao Zuochen felt a little relieved. Fortunately, he didn't kidnap his people.

Just when Xiao Zuochen was about to ask him if Chu Yao had gone to the princess's mansion, Uncle Mo walked in with a note in his hand:

Lend me Yunyou!

Xiao Zuochen finally realized that he was worried that Chu Yao would take Yun Wei away, but he never expected that Chu Yao would actually take Yun You away! Although Yun You was also smart, Yun Wei made him feel at ease. In addition, he went with Chu Yao, an unreliable person, so he felt that this matter might be even more unreliable.

Xiao Zuochen quickly stood up and took Yun Wei with him to the princess's mansion.

Inside the Princess's Mansion——

It was lunch time, and there was only the eldest princess at the table, with her maids standing around her to serve her.

"Where's the consort?"

The princess asked the people around her, but the maids just shook their heads. It seemed that they knew that these servants would report his whereabouts to the princess, and the prince consort would usually avoid them, so none of them knew where the prince consort was.

Although the servants didn't know, the princess knew that he must be with that woman in the old house. But after what happened yesterday, she didn't know if that woman was trying to commit suicide, and she didn't know if her parents would suspect her.

When the princess thought of this, she became so upset that she couldn't eat.

"Where's Jiashan? Why didn't she come for lunch?"

The eldest princess then asked about the whereabouts of Princess Jiashan.

"I don't know. I'll go check it out right now."

The servant beside him bowed and went out to look for Princess Jiashan.

At this moment, in a corner of the princess's mansion, Chu Yao pulled Yun You in.

"Why can't we come at night? It's broad daylight. What if we bump into someone? If we get discovered, I don't know how I'm going to explain to my master!"

Yunyou flipped down the wall and landed steadily on the ground, but she couldn't stop complaining.

"Don't say that. I actually wanted to come at night. But your master insisted on tricking me into coming during the day!"

"How is that possible? If our master did this, he would definitely come at night!"

"That's just to say..."

The two men were arguing when a servant poked his head over.

"Who is there?"

The servant seemed to have heard a conversation here, so he picked up a wooden stick beside the courtyard to defend himself, and then tiptoed towards the two people.

Chu Yao and Yun You hurriedly hid in the corner. When they were about to be discovered, Yun You cleverly imitated a cat's meow and threw a stone out of the wall.

The servant didn't think much about it and stopped, thinking that the sound was made by a wild cat on the wall. He muttered a few words and left.

Seeing that the crisis was over, the two began to push and shove each other and complain as they walked. Unknowingly, they came to a yard. There were lush flowers and plants around the yard, but there were no servants guarding it. Not knowing whose yard it was, the two rushed in.

As soon as I entered, I was stunned by the scene inside the house.

The room was meticulously decorated, from the embroidered screens to the sandalwood carved tables and chairs; from the sable carpets to the potted plants by the wall; from the embroidered mattresses to the scent of sandalwood. It was clearly the boudoir of a young girl who had been meticulously raised.

"Is this the princess' room?"

Yunyou seemed to have noticed that every item in the room was of great value, but the bed was a single bed, so it should not be the eldest princess' room. And the only person in the mansion who was qualified to use these items was Princess Jiashan.

"Ah, he looks quite rich."

Chu Yao spoke in a straight man's way, causing Yun You to roll her eyes at him. Just as the two of them were visiting the princess's room in a grand manner, footsteps suddenly came from outside, followed by the sound of a door being pushed open.

The princess is back.
