Zhong Ao Shuang raised his head and looked straight at Tuoba Fei. However, Tuoba Fei's sharp gaze forced him to lower his eyelids.

"Your highness, I dare not speak my heart out to you. This official is a person of great health, an official of great health. I will never do anything that would betray someone of great virtue. If there comes a day when the prince wishes to send troops to the Grand Kang to invade the Central Plains and seize the Grand Kang, I ask that the prince sacrifice his banner. "

"Pa, pa, pa …"

Tuoba Fei lightly clapped. "Well said. Since that's the case, why bother being loyal to this king?"

"This subject is loyal to Your Highness and will do his best to not slack in the slightest. Even if I were to secretly communicate with the royal family, everything will be done with Your Highness' permission. This official will also fight for the benefit of Big Moon, just like how Big Moon was given military supplies and food by his master. Everything is based on the friendship between the King and the Great Concord Alliance. This subject is loyal to the King, loyal to the Princess, purging the traitorous officials, so that the Emperor does not have evil villains by his side.

Zhong Ao Shuang's gaze fell onto Tuoba Fei's snow-white fox fur coat. Even until now, Tuoba Fei was still unwilling to wear it. He only wore it, because mink fur was even more precious and belonged solely to him.

In fact, there were no rules. Many of the court officials, even some wealthy merchants, would wear mink coats.

However, Tuoba Fei would never wear mink fur, allowing his clothing to surpass Dan Yu's. Even if the current Dan Yu was no longer a pear blossom, he was still the same.

Tuoba Fei lazily leaned back in his chair, a faint smile floating from the corner of his mouth. He no longer had that somber and sharp look from before, but instead, had become even more reverent.

Zhong Ao Shuang's heart sank when he saw the indifferent and mocking smile on Tuoba Fei's face, as well as his calm and emotionless expression.

Today, he was already prepared to die. He had never thought that he would be lucky enough to escape the atmosphere and return to the Grand Kang. His left shoulder was hit by a blade. This blade was the only way for him to escape after injuring the opponent's leg. However, if it wasn't for the fact that Yue Chan Juan's army recognized him, how could he leave the army camp?

It was hard to avoid exposing his identity, but he did not want to alarm Yue Chanjuan and let her know that he was eavesdropping. Therefore, he risked his life to escape from the hands of Tuoba Fei's subordinates.

Tuoba Fei's subordinates knew full well that Zhong Ao Shuang was very well-received by Tuoba Fei, so after discovering Zhong Ao Shuang's identity, they didn't kill her. Instead, they followed behind Zhong Ao Shuang and reported to him.

Today, he had come. Even if he didn't come, he would have at least arrived. Regardless of whether Tuoba Fei wanted to kill him or not, he could only allow him to do as he pleased.

He was not afraid of death, but he did not want to die. He still wanted to be able to silently stand by Yue Chanjuan's side and protect her for a long time.

Zhong Ao Shuang smiled bitterly. He knew too much and had too many secrets. Now that he was willing to submit to Tuoba Fei, was it not too late?

The room was completely silent. Tuoba Fei didn't speak, and Zhong Ao Shuang didn't dare to speak either. He knelt in front of Tuoba Fei, waiting respectfully. After a long while, Tuoba Fei only looked at Zhong Ao Shuang indifferently without saying anything.

"Prince, Zhong Ao Shuang doesn't dare to trouble you. I'll take my leave now. Today, I'll definitely give you an explanation."

"Your Highness, this subject shall hand it over to Your Highness. Please treat Your Highness well. This subject has five inscriptions, and I am here to thank Your Highness for his kindness."

Zhong Ao Shuang slowly bowed his head and bowed again, raising his head up, his face didn't look sad nor dispirited. He was already long dead, both in the Xumi Temple and in the Canine Temple. Today, he had been begging for death.

He did not need Prince Xian of the Left to worry. He could decide for himself. He could only request for a day's time from the Prince of the Left to prepare for the future.

"Halt."

Zhong Ao Shuang stopped his steps, bowed his head in respect, and waited quietly for Tuoba Fei's orders.

Tuoba Fei stood up and walked to the front of Zhong Ao Shuang. Staring at her, he said, "Ben Wang will give you a chance. There's only one chance. You should understand that you shouldn't disappoint Ben Wang."

"This official does not dare, but according to Your Highness' orders, this official will not refuse even if it means death."

Zhong Ao Shuang once again took off her clothes and knelt down, bowing deeply. He already had no other requests for her to stay alive and protect her.

"Get up. This King has something for you."

"Please instruct me, Your Highness."

"Great Qin and King Lou have secretly spread the news. Do you know about this?"

"This subject knows a little bit about it."

Tuoba Fei laughed lightly. It seemed that this Grand Scholar was not someone to be trifled with.

"What other things do you have to hide from This King?"

"In the Moon Branch, what can I hide from the prince? This subject knows less than the prince. If it is a matter of great karma, perhaps this subject will know in more detail. "

"Chan Juan is about to give birth and no longer has the energy to do many things. Go accompany her and protect her. Take over the communication with King Lou Lan and keep an eye on him."

"Yes, this subject obeys."

"In the future, continue calling me the same in front of This King."

"Yes, when there's someone else, this official will pay attention."

"How are your injuries?"

"It's just a superficial injury, thank you for asking."

"Since you want to protect Chan Juan, This King will also give you the chance to be the most trustworthy and reliable person by her side."

"Yes, this is this subject's wish."

"Today, you and I are just having tea together."

"Yes, this official understands. This official will take his leave."

zhong Ao Shuang bowed and left. Tuoba Fei was a little tired, he had stayed in Yue Chan Juan's army camp last night and had only returned to the prince's mansion early in the morning. He had taken care of a lot of matters and hadn't had a good rest up till now.

"What happened last night?"

Yue Chanjuan summoned her personal attendants. With these people standing to the left and right of her, as well as the ferocious white dogs, even the soldiers of the red-made up army would not be able to get close to her room.

Last night, she had heard some faint sounds, but she hadn't paid too much attention to them. She had her maidservants, the Redmakeup Army, and even Tuoba Fei's bodyguards. It shouldn't be a big deal.

"Someone is eavesdropping."

"Who was it that dared to act so boldly? And now, this person is here?"

"It's the Marquis."

Yue Chanjuan was stunned for a moment. She didn't know how many times Zhong Ao Shuang had seen it or eavesdropped on it.

"Where is Mr Zhong now?"

"I was injured by Prince's subordinate last night, and I've already escaped back to my residence. I haven't come out again."

"Go, invite Mr Zhong over."

"Yes."

Jade Book walked out and sent someone to ask for Zhong Ao Shuang, but after a moment, Zhong Ao Shuang entered the army camp and asked for an audience.

"Reporting to Da Qin, Mr Zhong requests an audience."

Yue Chanjuan pondered for a moment. The people she sent shouldn't have arrived at Zhong Ao Shuang's mansion yet. If that's the case, Zhong Ao Shuang must have specially come here to seek an audience.

"Please come in Mr Zhong. Yushu and Brilliant Painting, the two of you are waiting at the entrance to the courtyard."

"Yes."

Zhong Ao Shuang walked into the room, took off her clothes and kneeled down: "Greetings, Da Qin."

"Please stand, Mr Zhong."

Yue Chanjuan sat on the chair with her protruding belly and reached out her hand to support Zhong Ao Shuang. She was currently having difficulty moving, so she didn't get up.

"This subject has come to beg for forgiveness. Please grant me the punishment."

Zhong Ao Shuang did not stand up, but deeply bowed down. There was no way to conceal last night's matter.
