The sky was gloomy, without a trace of dawn. Tuoba Fei stood in the courtyard for a moment before he quickly walked towards the study.

"Order everyone to come and see This King."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Tuoba Fei entered the study. Some people served fragrant tea, while others had yet to finish their cup. The trusted general and the others had already arrived at the study to meet them.

Tuoba Fei issued a series of orders. This time, his expression was cold and solemn. Everyone held their breath and lowered their heads in silence, waiting for his orders.

After a long while, there were only a few people left in the room. Tuoba Fei waved his hand and said, "Do as I say. Zhong Ao Shuang will stay behind."

After everyone left, Tuoba Fei stared at Zhong Ao Shuang with his cold eyes for a long time without saying anything.

Zhong Ao Shuang bowed and stood to the side. Although he did not raise his head, the feeling of having his back secretly covered with cold sweat was like that of a mountain, causing cold sweat to quietly trickle down his neck.

"Zhong Ao Shuang, ever since you have worked for this king, you have also done your best. You should have reported about Xiao Shan to the Emperor, right? "

"Your subject does not dare, Your Highness. Your subject does not dare to do so. Please enlighten me, Your Highness."

"When you swore your loyalty to this king, it was not your intention. You were under the secret decree of the emperor and were sent to the capital by the emperor. You had a secret mission. With your talent and family background, there was no need to express your loyalty to this king."

"Your Highness, this subject's oath does not dare to have the slightest falsehood. If Your Highness discovers that your subject has done something unfaithful and unjust, your subject is willing to kill you."

"Zhong Ao Shuang, don't try to hide anything from This King. Chan Juan will believe you, This King won't."

"Your Highness, ever since this subject was appointed, this subject has been diligently and diligently, and does not dare to slack off in the slightest. Now that the Prince has taken such responsibility, this subject is extremely terrified. "

"Zhong Ao Shuang, are you going to confess or do you want This King to point it out to you?"

Zhong Ao Shuang's heart skipped a beat. She lifted her clothes and knelt down before Tuoba Fei: "Your highness, please feel free to ask. Your servant doesn't dare to hide anything from Your highness. I definitely don't dare to betray Your highness."

"The matter with Xiao Shan shouldn't be something you can do. The master behind your scenes should be the Emperor, right?"

"This official …"

Cold sweat kept on pouring out. Only then did ZhongAo Shuang discover that even though he had never looked down on Tuoba Fei and highly valued him, in the end, he was still a bit careless.

With Prince Xian of the Left's power in the Western Regions, he might not be able to hide some of the secrets from him.

"Your subject doesn't dare, Your Majesty is your subject's monarch, and Your Highness is also your subject's master. On that day, I did not hide anything from you. This subject shall wholeheartedly seek revenge for the Great Qin, and under the orders of His Highness, this subject shall not be negligent in the slightest. "

"This King will now use you to do one thing."

"Yes, please instruct me, Your Highness. This subject will do his best to serve Your Highness."

"Go and contact the general that sent troops from Jade Gate Pass to Xiao Shan Pass, and report back to this king."

"Yes, your subject obeys."

Zhong Ao Shuang carefully raised her eyes to look at Tuoba Fei: "If Your Highness doesn't have any other orders, this subject will take his leave and immediately contact General Kou."

"Who is the commander that led the troops to battle against Xiao Shan?"

Zhong Ao Shuang stared blankly at Tuoba Fei, "This subject has heard that General Kou is involved in this matter, but this subject is completely unaware of the inside information. I ask that Your Highness look into it clearly."

Suddenly, he came to his senses and revealed a surprised expression. Tuoba Fei would never say something useless or ask a boring question, so behind the question …

"This King wants to meet him. You can settle this matter."

"Yes, I wonder where Your Highness will meet the Northern Marquis."

Tuoba Fei bent down and approached Zhong Ao Shuang. After he said a few words in a low voice, Zhong Ao Shuang's body started to tremble slightly.

The first faint light of dawn seeped in through the window. Yue Chanjuan stretched out her arm in a blur, but the bed was completely empty. Only the lingering fragrance of the grass under the sun remained.

A faint aura drifted in the air. Yue Chanjuan could not help but blush. Tuoba Fei had left very early in the morning, just like before.

Emptiness filled her heart as she greedily breathed in Tuoba Fei's remaining breath. Yue Chan then sat up.

The beautiful curves in the morning light emitted a soft luster and a faint fragrance spread from his body.

Lowering her head to look at her body, even she herself was tempted by this curvaceous figure.

Every time Tuoba Fei arrived at night, he would leave very early in the morning. However, every time he did so, she would feel a deep sense of loss, as if there were only a few times that she would wake up in his arms.

Her disappointment today was even greater than before. Perhaps it was because of the urgent military events from last night, or perhaps it was because of the great moon that Tuoba Fei was going to suffer an endless amount of calamity.

She got up and put on her clothes. She lightly called out, and the servants walked in and kowtowed while waiting for her to change and wash.

"What's the matter with the prince?"

"The sky has yet to brighten and the prince has already left. He instructed the servant not to disturb the Great Qin family's rest."

"Where is the prince now?"

"This servant doesn't know. This servant will ask right away."

Yue Chanjuan looked at her beautiful and delicate face reflected in the mirror. The current her gave off a gentle and feminine air. She no longer gave off a cool air, and looked even more alluring.

"Reporting to the Great Qin, the prince has gone to inspect the pass."

"Has he ever eaten?"

"Not yet."

"Go prepare delicately nourished food and soup for the prince."

"Yes."

Yue Chanjuan felt a faint unease in her heart. This uneasiness caused her to be restless. In her memories, every time there was such unease, an extremely great danger and accident would occur.

"The Emperor should know the position of the Great Moon Sect in this chaos. If it is because of this, the alliance between the Great Moon Sect and Great Kang will be broken down. Does the Great Moon Sect have enough strength to defend against the elite soldiers of Great Kang and the Emperor's anger? "

She no longer dared to think about it. She also understood why Da Yue Qi had never openly offended Da Kang and had a falling out with him.

Tuoba Fei had been doing things in the dark the entire time, preferring to spend a lot of effort to avoid being dirty with Da Kang. This was all because the Da Kang branch was not completely stable yet, and only had evil intentions.

"If the Emperor was determined to purge the northern border and take back the Xiao Shan Pass, what would Tuoba Fei do?"

"No, he had already made the perfect plan last night. There won't be any mishaps. Tuoba Fei definitely won't let me down!"

The unease in his heart was not appeased by such comfort. Instead, it deepened.

"Servants, go and guard it. Report it immediately after the king returns."

"Yes."

It was almost noon when Yue Chan did not receive Tuoba Fei's return. She also did not eat and was not in the mood to eat. She put on the fox fur coat and walked out of the courtyard.

"Where is Earl Xian?"

"I heard that the prince sent me out to do something, and I've already left this place."
