There was another voice outside the door, but it was Yue Beishu.
"What are you doing here?"
Chen Zhuo was very dissatisfied with him. When he saw what he was holding, he frowned.
"I went to Huguo Temple to offer incense today and asked for a peace charm for you."
Yue Beishu's gaze lingered on Si Yiluo's face for a moment, as if unsure, and he looked at it twice more. Si Yiluo noticed his appraising look and raised his head to look into his eyes.
His face turned red and he said shyly, "My lord, today is different from the past few days. It is so radiant that I can't take my eyes away for a while."
Si Yiluo frowned.
A kid like Chen Zhuo couldn't figure it out, but someone like Yue Beishu, who came from a romantic place, could figure out what was going on at a glance.
Place the amulet on the table, bow and exit.
Yue Beishu stood at the door with his back turned and smiled in confusion. Who could Si Yiluo take a look at? Who is that person? Has he gained her trust?
He stood in the yard for a long time and did not leave. Xiang Yun appeared in front of him at some point. When he looked back at the light in the room, he suddenly saw a black shadow in the dark night. He was startled and at the same time he also wondered whether it would be possible.
Could it be him?
He secretly clenched his fists and returned to his residence.
The door of Gong Xiyun's room was tightly closed. Yu Mo and Yan Li were sitting in Wei Chen's room, enjoying the charcoal fire and having nothing to do. They were holding a shoe sole in their hands.
He accidentally saw the boy next to Wei Chen when he opened the curtain and came out to fetch water.
If this continues, my ambition will be worn away.
Yue Beishu returned to his room, turned off the lights, quietly changed into night clothes and left the house. He wanted to know whether there was any news after more than two months had passed since he asked the people below to check Gong Xiyun!
He thought that his movements were secret and no one knew about it, but he didn't know that Xiang Yun had already followed him not far away but with his arms folded. He had memorized his secret sentry in the capital. During this period of time, he followed him down and almost figured out his secret sentry.
The network can be closed at any time.
"Sir." Si Yiluo opened the door and Xiang Yun came in and said, "Yue Beishu is investigating Gong Xiyun's identity. Should we close the net?"
These meticulous works are sucking blood in Shengjing City. Now it is time to celebrate the New Year and the fattened sheep should be slaughtered.
Si Yiluo didn't like long nights and many dreams. Xiang Yun understood what she meant by moving his fingers.
There is no need to be polite when dealing with Beiliao Xizuo.
"I'm going to Prince Zhan's Mansion."
The sound of the night watch could be heard through the streets. There was already a curfew on the streets, and arrests would have to wait until tomorrow.
Si Yiluo jumped over the eaves and climbed over the wall, entering Prince Zhan's Mansion.
Shen Moran got up in the middle of the night and filled two hot water bottles for her. Zhou Zhan put on his clothes. This was the first time he saw a guest in such disheveled clothes.
If Si Yiluo were a man, he would be a bit forgetting to greet her, and it would be a good talk in the future.
But now, he just felt embarrassed and looked at his princess's expression to see if she was jealous or something.
"Aluo, why are you so cold? Put on my cloak first!"
Every time Si Yiluo came here it was at night. She didn't have time during the day. Even if she had time, she couldn't just go wherever she wanted with Emperor Yao's eyes on her.
"The man Jiu Er rescued was this year's candidate, named Zhou Yuan. The Jingzhao Yamen refused to take his case, and the Wucheng Military and Horse Department cooperated to expel him. Kong Peng is not so capable."
Zhou Zhan also felt sad when he mentioned this matter, but the government had become like this and there was nothing they could do.
"Father, do you mean to handle it with care?"
Si Yiluo remained silent. After a while, he said, "I met Li Wei in the palace today."
Zhou Zhan and Shen Moran are both smart people, so they naturally understand the deeper meaning.
"I mean, maybe Zhou Yuan can be reused, what do you think, His Highness..."
Shen Moran saved the person, so it would be better for her to claim this kindness.
After finalizing the next plan, Si Yiluo was about to leave. Shen Moran walked to the door and watched her climb up the courtyard wall before closing the door and coming back.
Zhou Zhan sat on the bedside and looked at her reluctantly, and said for no reason: "It's a good thing that Mr. Si is a woman, otherwise you wouldn't marry me..."
Shen Moran rolled her eyes at him and hummed: "Your Highness, just be aware of it. It's getting late. Go to sleep."
They were idle at home and had nothing to do. Someone disturbed their dreams in the middle of the night, so they happened to do something they should do in the middle of the night.
Shen Moran hooked his neck and put him on the bed, wrapping himself around him with a goblin.
"When His Highness has another woman by his side, I wonder if he will think of me as a concubine and will he become jealous..."
They had only been married for less than half a year, and it was the time when the honey was mixed with oil. Zhou Zhan had no experience at all before, so the matters between the couple were, well, almost always led by Shen Moran.
How could he resist this temptation? His coaxing words would just come out of his head.
"You are the only one in my life!"
Shen Moran refused to give up.
"Then you promise!"
Maybe it was because the charcoal fire in the room was too strong. Zhou Zhan felt his mouth was dry and he raised his palms to promise: "I promise you will be the only one in this life!"
Shen Moran regarded his promise as love words and just let it go. Who knows what tomorrow will bring...
The result of a night of indulgence was that the two of them slept until midnight the next day and didn't get up.
Although there is sun in the sky, it is really cold.
Housekeeper Zhou Fu led a young girl of fifteen or sixteen years old to wait outside the door all morning. The girl became impatient and asked for the umpteenth time.
"Is my cousin really okay? It's almost noon, why don't you go in to see what's going on?"
Zhou Fuwei said, "Perhaps it was last night that His Highness felt unwell again, and it was difficult to catch up on his sleep in the morning."
After he finished speaking, a lazy female voice was heard inside, instructing the servants to wash themselves.
Bi Tao stared at the girl at the door all morning. She sensed hostility in the girl's unkind eyes and rushed in immediately to tell Shen Moran the news.
The cousin I was talking about a few days ago is really here...
Shen Moran paused in putting on her earrings, chuckled, and glanced at Zhou Zhan's reaction in the bronze mirror.
His expression was nothing but confusion, what kind of cousin?
When the girl saw the door of the house opened, she was about to rush in, but was stopped by Chang Ying.
"Please respect yourself, cousin. Your Highness and the Princess have not gotten up yet. It is not appropriate for you to go in now."
The girl was a practitioner, and she stretched out her hand to brush away Chang Ying's obstruction, but Chang Ying did not give in. The girl was annoyed and exchanged a few moves with her.
Seeing that she could not break in, the girl shouted loudly into the room: "Cousin, cousin Zhanwang, I am Jinchan, Chan'er... Cousin, you don't remember me!"
What a golden toad, I have never seen such a beautiful lady!
He broke into his cousin and cousin-in-law's bedroom as soon as he got up. Did he not regard himself as an outsider or did he have an agenda against His Highness King Zhan?
Changying dutifully stopped her from entering.
Zhou Zhan thought for a long time when he heard the name, and finally remembered that there seemed to be such a cousin in his uncle's house.
He looked at Shen Moran, who was calmly dressing up, with a guilty conscience, and coughed lightly: "My uncle just sent me a letter a few days ago, and asked my cousin to come to the door. I'm not sure what's going on, so I'll go and take a look first."
Shen Moran chuckled lightly and said lazily: "Your Highness, please excuse me. At this point, I'd better save the breakfast to eat with the lunch. I just have an hour to catch up with my cousin."
