Looking at Tai'an from the full moon

Xiao Zuochen brought his son-in-law to Yun Mansion. The son-in-law had never been to Yun Mansion before, and Yun Mansion and the son-in-law's old house were both in the western suburbs, and the two mansions were only two streets apart. However, because it was in the suburbs, the streets here were wider and longer.

"right here?"

The prince consort was a little surprised that Yun Mansion was so close to his old house. He looked up and saw the plaque on the door of Yun Mansion. It was indeed bestowed by the emperor himself. The golden words "Yun Mansion" were an honor that even the eldest princess did not have. However, the prince consort had never been here because Yun Mansion had never held any banquets.

"I seldom go back to the Yun Mansion. Please, uncle."

Xiao Zuochen accompanied the Prince Consort in. After entering the mansion, before the Prince Consort could be surprised that there were no people in the Yun Mansion, Xiao Zuochen told the Prince Consort about what he had seen the day before and the information he had obtained yesterday.

"You mean, Jinxiu, she was..."

The prince consort was shocked, and his hands were shaking even when he spoke. He did not expect the princess to do such a thing. Even if the person who was hurt was not Jinxiu, no matter who it was, this incident showed that the princess had a vicious side in her heart.

Xiao Zuochen didn't say much, after all, he hadn't seen the person yet, so everything was still uncertain. They took many turns and came to the woodshed in the backyard. There was a tunnel in the corner of the woodshed. They followed the tunnel and came to the basement. At this time, a strong-looking man was locked up in the basement. When the man saw Xiao Zuochen, he immediately showed a flattering expression.

"Your Majesty, I have answered all the questions you asked. When will you let me go?"

Xiao Zuochen glanced at him and snorted coldly.

This man looked tall and strong. After he was captured, he was only threatened a few times and even the torture instruments were not shown. Then he started to confess. He was a complete coward.

"I asked you some questions yesterday, and you did perform well. But if I let you go, your performance is still a little bit poor."

"Ah... Then, then how does the prince need me to behave?"

"What was the name of the woman you met the day before yesterday?"

The prince consort couldn't wait for them to finish talking, so he stood in front of the man and asked.

"Who, who is this gentleman...?"

The big man hadn't realized the seriousness of the problem yet. Xiao Zuochen reminded him from the side.

"Just tell me what I ask you!"

"Yes, yes, yes! I really don't know the woman's name, but the princess has been calling her a bitch. And from what she said, it seems that the woman seduced the prince consort, so the princess asked us to help her with this matter."

"'We'? There's more than one of you!?"

When the prince consort heard this, his expression was even more shocked, and his face even changed suddenly.

"Ah, I have an accomplice... Hey! It's not what you think. I have an accomplice who is an old woman. She was responsible for luring that woman over and knocking her out, and then handing her over to me."

"Who is that old woman?"

"That old woman's surname is Wang. She doesn't have any proper work, but she always manages to find some work and then find people like us to do it."

"Where does she live!?"

"Live in the south of the city. It's the first house under the stone bridge."

"Your Highness Prince Yun!"

The prince consort looked at Xiao Zuochen, as if he couldn't wait to rush over.

Xiao Zuochen nodded, signaling his son-in-law not to be anxious, then turned and spoke to the man.

"What are the characteristics of that old lady Wang? Let's not find the wrong person again."

"That woman has a mole at the end of her left eyebrow, which is slightly larger than ordinary moles. Most people rarely have moles there, so it is easy to identify!"

"Okay, if we find her, we can let you go tomorrow. But if we can't find her, you should know the consequences of lying to me!"

"Don't worry, I definitely didn't lie to you two! But I don't know if she ran away in advance."

"Run away early? What do you mean? She ran away?"

The prince consort stepped forward and grabbed the big man by the collar, and the big man suddenly cried out.

"Ah~ I don't know either! I just saw her sneaking around after she went out that day, and then I was caught! I have no idea what happened to that old lady Wang!... Master! Master! Let's talk it over, don't use force~"

Xiao Zuochen grabbed the inappropriate prince consort and no longer paid attention to what the man said.

"Don't worry, she can't get far even if she runs!"

After comforting the prince consort for a few words, he left with him and Yun Wei. The three of them followed the tunnel back to the woodshed. As soon as they stepped on it, they heard a furtive sound coming from outside the woodshed, and a figure was reflected at the door.

"who!?"

Xiao Zuochen shouted to the outside. The person outside the door seemed to be startled by the sound coming from inside the house, and his figure paused. Then he felt that the figure was getting closer and closer to the door of the woodshed, and finally the door of the demolition room was slowly opened a little.

The three people in the room seemed to be frozen, staring at the crack in the door. When Xiao Zuochen saw the part of the face exposed in the crack, he was speechless.

Chu Yao, he followed secretly.

The four people stared at each other through the crack in the door. Chu Yao neither opened the door nor closed it, as if he was also frozen.

Xiao Zuochen helplessly reached out and patted half of his face.

"Hey, open the door~"

Chu Yao opened the door and stood at the entrance.

"Why are you sighing? Where did you go just now? I didn't see you when I entered the demolition room. Why are you suddenly here again?"

It turned out that Chu Yao had followed Xiao Zuochen as soon as he left. But after Xiao Zuochen and his friends entered the woodshed, Chu Yao was just a little late and couldn't find them, so he searched every corner.

The son-in-law had some impression of Chu Yao. He seemed to be sitting next to Xiao Zuochen the day before yesterday.

“You are…?”

"We are good brothers!"

Chu Yao answered first. The prince consort looked at Xiao Zuochen again, seeking the correct answer. Xiao Zuochen nodded, without denying it, but he added another sentence.

"But what I told my aunt was that he was my sparring partner."

The prince consort nodded, indicating that he understood. But he seemed to have thought of something and turned to look at Chu Yao.

"Since you have shown your face in front of the princess, you should be more careful in the future."

Chu Yao didn't understand what the prince consort meant, but Xiao Zuochen echoed him.

"I'll keep an eye on him."

Even Yun Wei was standing by with his sword wrapped around his chest, looking as if "no one can touch him as long as I'm here."

But the three of them didn't explain to Chu Yao what this meant. Chu Yao asked one by one, but the three of them hesitated and avoided the question. No one explained to him what was going on.

So Chu Yao went with them in confusion to the next place which he didn't know where it was.
