Looking at Tai'an from the full moon

When Xiao Zuochen arrived at the Fourth Princess's Ning'an Palace, he saw Xiao Jinhuan holding a bowl in one hand and scooping a spoonful of soup with the other hand, and feeding it to Chu Yao's mouth diligently. Chu Yao was being pressed on a stool by a palace servant at this time, with his hands tied tightly behind his back. Looking at the Fourth Princess's hand, he wanted to hide but couldn't, and finally the mouthful of porridge was stuffed into his mouth. There were circles of guards standing in the Ning'an Palace on three floors, as if they were afraid that Chu Yao would run away. Xiao Zuochen saw this scene and clenched his fists in anger.

"stop!"

Xiao Zuochen couldn't help but yell when he saw Xiao Jinhuan force-feeding him. He was on guard against this and that every day, but he didn't expect Xiao Jinhuan to get involved.

Xiao Jinhuan was startled by the sudden appearance of Xiao Zuochen. When he turned around and looked at him, his face was filled with anger at being disturbed.

"You scared me!"

Xiao Zuochen rushed forward and started to untie the ropes on Chu Yao, but was stopped by Xiao Jinhuan.

"Don't untie him, he'll run away!"

Xiao Zuochen paused for a moment and looked at Xiao Jinhuan in disbelief, as if he was looking at a fool.

"Don't you know he's mine?"

Chu Yao is his brother, how could he not untie him?

But when Xiao Jinhuan heard this, it had another meaning. She also looked at Xiao Zuochen with disbelief and even asked him again.

"You said he was your man?"

Xiao Zuochen didn't understand the meaning of Xiao Jinhuan's words, and nodded firmly. Chu Yao beside him also nodded wildly in agreement.

Xiao Jinhuan opened her mouth and moved, but she didn't know what to say for a moment. After a second or two of silence, she immediately put the spoon and bowl back on the table, and then helped Xiao Zuochen untie Chu Yao. She stammered.

"I'm sorry, sister, sister doesn't know your relationship, otherwise I wouldn't have snatched it from you!"

When Xiao Zuochen and Chu Yao heard her words, one of them stopped what he was doing and the other stopped struggling. They both stared at Xiao Jinhuan with wide eyes, as if asking her "Are you okay?"

But they only watched for two seconds, one person quickened his movements, and the other struggled even more violently.

Xiao Jinhuan looked at the two people's reactions, confused like a monk, not understanding what he had said that irritated them.

After Xiao Zuochen untied Chu Yao, he pulled him up and planned to leave, not wanting to say anything more to Xiao Jinhuan. But Xiao Jinhuan had something to say to them.

"Hey! Does Father know about this?"

Xiao Zuochen was stunned for a moment. Xiao Jinhuan was such a big trouble, and just now in order to let her let Chu Yao go, the superiors pretended to agree with her idea. But she wouldn't spread it everywhere, would she?

"Are you going to tell Father?"

Xiao Jinhuan shook his head.

"Am I such a bad person, your sister? But the emperor dotes on you, and that position will be yours sooner or later..."

"Royal sister! Don't talk nonsense."

Xiao Zuochen interrupted her quickly. Xiao Jinhuan was such a big mouth, sooner or later he would be killed by her.

"...No, I mainly want to say that you have to consider the issue of continuing the family line! After all, he..."

As Xiao Jinhuan spoke, she turned her head and looked at Chu Yao again, but the difference was that this time she looked at him with disdain.

Xiao Zuochen was speechless again, while Chu Yao beside him looked like a bystander. Xiao Zuochen glared at him. Did this silly kid forget that she misunderstood us?

Indeed, Chu Yao’s mind couldn’t handle so many twists and turns. Even if the topic was still discussing him the previous second, he would forget it the next second.

"Let's go quickly!"

Xiao Zuochen shook his head and pushed Chu Yao out.

"I'm not done yet!"

Xiao Jinhuan shouted from behind. Chu Yao looked back curiously, but his head was forcibly turned back by Xiao Zuochen.

"stop looking."

Just like that, Chu Yao was taken away by Xiao Zuochen. It seemed that the matter was easily resolved, but only Xiao Zuochen knew that he had sacrificed a lot.

As the two were walking out of the palace gate, Xiao Zuochen suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body was about to slide down. This sudden situation frightened Chu Yao, and he hurriedly held Xiao Zuochen back from falling.

"Xiao Zuochen! What's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"

Chu Yao shook him, but Xiao Zuochen was like a puppet and did not react at all.

"this..."

Chu Yao looked around and saw no one around to help him, so he had to pick up Xiao Zuochen and fly directly out of the palace gate. The guards outside the gate only saw a figure flying by, and couldn't see who it was. One of the guards thought there was an assassin in the palace, and was about to shout, but was stopped by another person.

"There is no news of assassins in the palace yet, so let's not make it public. If nothing happens in the palace and we make it public, we might be charged with deceiving the emperor or neglecting our duty. After all, we have no evidence to prove that an assassin came out of the palace."

The guard who was originally planning to shout nodded after hearing what he said. He thought it made sense, so he quietly returned to his post and stood there as if nothing had happened.

After Xiao Zuochen was sent back home by Chu Yao, a group of people surrounded his bed again.

"I told you he needed to rest! Look, look, he's only been out for less than half a day and he's already like this! If he keeps going on like this, even the gods can't save his broken body!"

"What's going on with him? Is he injured outside? How are you protecting him?"

Chu Yao questioned Yun Wei and the others, and they dared not say a word. As guards, if they failed to protect their master, it meant that they were not capable enough.

"Alright, alright, stop talking about them. Fortunately, this kid can still be cured~"

The old man stroked his beard and shook his head slightly, looking very confident.

"Really? There won't be any sequelae?"

"Humph! Of course, if I take action, I can defeat an army of thousands!"

Chu Yao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. This guy was bragging too much.

"Don't disbelieve me. I'll write you a prescription. As long as you can gather all the herbs, I guarantee that this kid will be full of energy right after taking it!"

The old man then picked up a pen and quickly wrote down the names of several medicinal herbs on the yellowed paper.

Chu Yao looked at the words above and frowned even deeper.

"What the hell are you writing about?"

It wasn't that Chu Yao didn't know these herbs, but he couldn't understand what the old man wrote. The people beside him couldn't understand what he wrote either.

"You know what I call personality? If I could just let you mortals understand the prescriptions I wrote, wouldn't we have lost our magic weapon to protect ourselves?"

"..."

"If you don't tell us what the herb is, how can we find it for you?"

"Ahem~ I'll tell you the two most important herbs, listen carefully! One is called dragon whale bone, and the other is called Luobu Ma. Luobu Ma is easier to find, although it is not produced in large quantities, it is still easy to find in Miaojiang. But this dragon whale bone...sigh~"

"What's wrong with the dragon whale bone? Is it hard to find?"

"Of course, as far as I know, only two dragon whale bones have been found on the continent. One belongs to the Musi Kingdom in the west, and the other should be in the hands of the Shenyin Pavilion. But you know that the Shenyin Pavilion disappeared many years ago, alas~"

The old man sighed, while Yun Wei and the others looked at Chu Yao. His identity as a member of Shenyin Pavilion was no secret to them.

Chu Yao scratched his head. He had never heard of such a thing in the pavilion.

"What does that thing look like?"

"It's a dark grey solid with many holes the size of bubbles on it. It has no fixed shape, but it emits a faint fragrance."

Chu Yao thought hard, he always felt that this description was somewhat familiar. Sure enough, under the expectant gazes of others, he finally remembered it.

"I know where it is! You go find Luobu Ma, and I will bring back the dragon whale bone!"

"Hmm? Are you sure you can find it?"

"Yeah! It must be right!"

So after discussing it, Chu Yao went to look for dragon whale bones, Yun Wei and Yun Feng went to look for Luobu Ma, and Yun You and the old man were responsible for taking care of Xiao Zuochen in the mansion.

"Everyone, you must get back within half a month. This kid's body can't hold out for too long!"
