Looking at Tai'an from the full moon

It was two days later that Xiao Zuochen and his companions returned to Tai'an City. Not long after Yun Wei met Yun Feng, Yan Luo also arrived. After Yan Luo treated the wounds of King Yun and Yun Wei, the four of them set off to return to Tai'an City.

On the way, Yan Luo confessed his mistake to Xiao Zuochen and explained the cause and effect of the matter.

At first, she was playful and deceived Yun Feng, which made him mistakenly believe that his master ordered him to re-enter Shura Road, so he really went in. Yan Luo also realized the seriousness of the problem, and in order to find him back, she also broke into Shura Road. Because Yan Luo's light work was not as good as the guards, when she caught up with Shura Road, Yun Feng had been in there for a few days. But with Yan Luo's ability, he could not last a few days in there. In order to save her, Yun Feng lost another arm, which made her blame herself even more. However, fortune and misfortune are interdependent. Although Yun Feng lost his right hand, after his debut, Mr. Ying began to let him learn left-hand swordsmanship. Unexpectedly, Yun Feng's left hand was extremely talented. In just half a month, his left-hand swordsmanship had surpassed his right hand before.

When they returned to Prince Yun's Mansion, they found it surprisingly quiet.

"Master! You are finally back~ Master Chu is in trouble!"

When Yun You heard that her master had returned, she immediately ran over to report. When she saw Yun Feng and Yan Luo, she was stunned.

Xiao Zuochen couldn't help but frown after hearing Yunyou's words. No wonder he felt the mansion was so quiet when he first entered it, it turned out that Chu Yao was in trouble.

"Tell me slowly what's going on."

"Master Chu is being entangled by the Fourth Princess!"

"What!?"

Xiao Jinhuan? That's really troublesome.

Xiao Zuochen was a little surprised, but he felt a pain in his chest, followed by a mouthful of blood gushing up, which spurted out with a "puff". Then his body went limp and he fell to the ground.

"master!"

"master!"

Several people were startled, and hurriedly supported Xiao Zuochen and helped him into the house to lie down. It turned out that the two palms that Xiao Zuochen received at that time were fatal. Xiao Zuochen himself had no internal strength and could not withstand these two palms. He was holding on and didn't tell others along the way. Now that he returned to the mansion, he finally couldn't hold on any more.

When Xiao Zuochen woke up again, two days had passed.

The doctor from the mansion came to see him again.

"Hmm~ You've recovered well. Although King Yun's body is not very resistant to blows, his recovery ability is still very strong."

"..."

Xiao Zuochen's face darkened when he heard this. This old man was a homeless man he rescued by chance. He kept the old man because he knew medicine, but later he discovered that the old man had superb medical skills.

The guards who were surrounding him and watching him couldn't help but laugh.

Only then did Xiao Zuochen realize that Chu Yao was not there.

"Where's Chu Yao?"

Xiao Zuochen asked.

"Master, have you forgotten? Before you fainted, I told you that Master Chu was in trouble."

"What trouble?"

Xiao Zuochen frowned. His head felt a little dizzy from all the sleep he had done the past two days. He couldn't remember what Yun You said to him at that time. Could it be that the eldest princess was looking for trouble with him?

"The fourth princess asked the emperor for permission to marry Master Chu!"

"What!?"

Xiao Zuochen was stunned when he heard this. When did Xiao Jinhuan meet Chu Yao? Was it... at Jiashan's birthday party? Only then could Xiao Jinhuan have met Chu Yao.

"When did it happen?"

"Today is the fourth day since the decree was issued, and Master Chu has been in the palace for four days."

"Has the decree been issued? Is he in the palace?"

No wonder he didn't come to see me, but I can't let him stay in the palace alone! The emperor's attitude towards him is not clear, and with Chu Yao's temper, he will definitely get into trouble in the palace!

Xiao Zuochen was about to get up from the bed but was stopped by Yun Feng.

"Master, you need to rest. The decree has not been issued. I just came to the mansion and said it secretly. I don't know why."

"No, I have to get him out of the palace!"

"But..."

"Why, you guys don't listen to me?"

"no..."

The few of them had no choice but to wait for their master to wash up and accompany him into the palace.

In the hall, the emperor had just finished his morning court session, and the civil and military officials had not yet completely dispersed when they saw the Sixth Prince rushing in from outside the hall. Everyone saluted the Sixth Prince. Xiao Zuochen just nodded at them and hurried past. Everyone was a little confused. Why was the usually calm Sixth Prince so anxious today?

Xiao Zuochen walked to the imperial court. The emperor was discussing with a minister how to prevent floods in Linjiang City. When he saw his beloved son coming, he smiled and nodded at him, then continued discussing with the minister.

Not knowing whether the emperor knew the purpose of Xiao Zuochen's visit today and wanted to avoid the topic, he talked with the minister for a long time. Even the minister felt that it was not a good idea to leave the Sixth Prince aside and wanted to find an excuse to leave, but the emperor still had no intention of letting him leave.

It was not until Eunuch Mu Yi reminded the emperor that it was time for lunch that the emperor let the minister go.

"Sixth brother, why do you look so bad?"

In fact, Xiao Zuochen's face was already pale due to his illness, and he had been standing in the hall for an hour or two, so his face became even paler, and even his forehead was covered with sweat.

The emperor seemed to have just noticed his expression and was a little frightened by him.

"It's fine with your son. I heard that your father wants to grant a marriage between your sister and Chu Yao?"

When the emperor heard Xiao Zuochen mention this, he sighed and leaned back on the dragon throne.

"Alas, because of this, I and the fourth brother have been arguing for a long time. On Jiashan's birthday, she came to me to talk about this as soon as she returned to the palace. Naturally, I did not agree. According to seniority, the fourth brother should call Chu Yao uncle."

"Has the emperor issued an order?"

"Of course not. But the fourth brother came to torture me every day, so I had to write a letter to her first to pretend. Sixth brother, Chu Yao is your friend, what do you think about this matter?"

Xiao Zuochen took a step forward.

"I think that my sister and Chu Yao are not suitable for each other."

The emperor nodded and motioned Xiao Zuochen to continue.

"First of all, in terms of age, the emperor sister is three years older than Chu Yao, and mentally more mature than Chu Yao. There will definitely be differences between the two when they communicate. Secondly, the emperor sister grew up in the palace, while Chu Yao grew up outside the palace. He is not even the son of a minister and has never learned etiquette. The two have very different lifestyles, and it is inevitable that there will be many conflicts in their future lives. In addition, as you said just now, according to seniority, they should not be together."

The emperor looked at Xiao Zuochen and couldn't help but curl his lips.

"I don't know whether it's suitable or not. But I can see how much you don't want them to be together."

"..."

Xiao Zuochen was speechless for a moment, and then he realized that he had said too much.

"Forget it, forget it. I didn't agree with this marriage in the first place. How can a clumsy boy like him marry my precious daughter?"

"Then the emperor agrees to let Chu Yao leave the palace?"

Xiao Zuochen took the opportunity to ask further questions, but the emperor's face changed when he heard this question.

"You should discuss this matter with your sister. I dare not directly issue an order to let him go. He should be pestered by your sister now."

"..."

Xiao Zuochen understood and bowed to leave. He ignored his discomfort and hurried to Xiao Jinhuan's residence.
