Xiao Yi was puzzled. "The head of the hospital? The Head of Hospital Xu you met before? He's naturally continuing to practice medicine and save lives in his small town. What else could he be doing?"

Yun Qinglu shook her head. "I felt that the atmosphere between Mo Beichen and the Dean was a bit subtle. Later, I sent people to protect Dean Xu and also to investigate their relationship. Strange, it's been so long, why haven't we heard anything yet?"

"Feng Wu," Yun Qingluo called softly to the air.

A person emerged from the shadows, startling Xiao Yi.

This Phoenix Guard is indeed powerful; even it couldn't detect anyone nearby.

Tsk tsk tsk, thank goodness they're on our side.

"Feng Wu greets Your Majesty." Feng Wu knelt on one knee to pay his respects, his back straight.

Yun Qingluo looked at him calmly, "I want you to investigate the matter of Dean Xu. Logically speaking, the Dragon Guard and Phoenix Guard are born for the sake of all living beings, but only when things are properly handled on the Sumeru Continent can Achen and I go to the Xuan Cang Continent with peace of mind. So I can only ask you for help."

Feng Wu hesitated for a moment, but still agreed.

Yun Qingluo called out to Feng Wu, who was turning to leave, and said calmly, "What questions do you have?"

Feng Wei hesitated for a moment, then knelt down again and asked, "Does Your Majesty mean you won't take Feng Wei to the Xuan Cang Continent?"

He knew that as a Phoenix Guard, he shouldn't question any of his lord's decisions, but that was, after all, the First Continent, the one that had suppressed the Sumeru Continent in the past. If his lord went there, perhaps...

Yun Qingluo glanced at Feng Wei, stood up, walked forward, and personally helped Feng Wei up. She said in a gentle tone, "Dragon Guards and Phoenix Guards are gods who protect the Sumeru Continent. You cannot leave. Moreover, the Sumeru Continent has now been exposed to the sight of other continents and is in danger. Right now, this place needs someone to guard it."

Feng Wei was somewhat worried and finally couldn't help but speak his mind, "But, my lord, although you are highly skilled in martial arts, it would be too dangerous for you to go to the Xuan Cang Continent alone."

Yun Qinglu shook her head. "Let's talk about it later. There's also A-Chen. I believe he can make proper arrangements. I also have the Divine Guards under my command. For now, you should help me get this matter done."

"Yes, my lord." Upon hearing this, Feng Wu said no more, bowed his head, and withdrew.

After reviewing the memorials that evening, Mo Beichen stood up, stretched, paused for a moment, looked at Ze Yan who was already fast asleep beside him, and curled the corners of his lips into a smile.

In the evening, Zeyan woke up and, knowing that his mother was resting, came directly to him to help him review the memorials.

I guess I was too tired today. I lay there reading a few memorials and then drifted off to sleep.

In that little hand, she was still clutching a corner of the memorial to the throne.

Mo Beichen carefully took the memorial from Zeyan's little hands, placed it aside, and then picked up the little guy.

Perhaps the movement was a bit too big, startling the little one. The little one opened his bewildered eyes, and when he saw that it was his father, he became a bit more alert.

Before he could speak, Mo Beichen said, "Go to sleep, Father will carry you back. You've had a tiring day, so get some rest tonight. You can accompany Father to court tomorrow."

Hearing his father's concern for him, the little one smiled sweetly, nodded, closed his eyes, and found a comfortable position in Mo Beichen's arms to fall asleep.

Mo Beichen sent Zeyan back and then went to see Qianyue.

The palace maid, who was standing guard beside Qian Yue, heard the noise, opened her eyes and saw Mo Beichen. She hurriedly tried to bow, but Mo Beichen stopped her, worried that she would wake Qian Yue.

Seeing that Qian Yue was sleeping soundly, Mo Beichen covered her with the blanket and turned to leave.

When Mo Beichen returned to Yun Qingluo's bedroom, Yun Qingluo was busy with something.

"Luo Luo, hmm, it smells really good. Did you cook for yourself?" Mo Beichen walked to the table and saw Yun Qingluo wearing something transparent on her hands, busy peeling shrimp.

Yun Qingluo glanced up at Mo Beichen briefly, then looked down and picked at the crayfish in her hand.

"You've come at the perfect time! Come and try this. It's my specialty. Oh, and by the way, there's also this ice-cold beer. The ice was just dug out of the ice cellar. A bite of spicy crayfish, a slice of refreshing cucumber salad, and a big gulp of ice-cold beer—it's absolutely delicious. There are also garlic and thirteen-spice flavors on the side. Try them all."

"Oh? Judging from Luo Luo's expression, it does look good. I'll have a taste." Mo Beichen sat down next to Yun Qingluo and reached out to grab the lobster.

Yun Qingluo quickly stopped her, "Hey, wait a minute, wait a minute, put these on. These are called disposable gloves, but they're not ordinary ones that break easily. I specially ordered them from a manufacturer. The system searched for a long time before finding a few. Oh well, just put on the gloves now, or your hands will get greasy, which is terrible."

Under Yun Qingluo's guidance, Mo Beichen put on gloves and watched as Yun Qingluo skillfully peeled a whole shrimp before following suit and peeling a shrimp himself.

Yun Qingluo took a satisfied sip of beer, comfortably closed her eyes, and as soon as she opened them, she saw a peeled shrimp meat being handed to her.

Yun Qingluo looked up at Mo Beichen, who frowned slightly and explained, "Although it's not peeled very well, never mind, I'll peel another one for you."

As she was about to withdraw her hand, Yun Qingluo quickly opened her mouth and bit the shrimp meat.

After finishing the shrimp in her mouth, Yun Qingluo smiled mischievously, "It's so delicious."

Her momentary daze was simply because she remembered how rude she had been in her past life, yet Mo Beichen had always treated her well. Sometimes she would even wonder if he was a masochist.

"What are you thinking about, Luo Luo?" In the blink of an eye, Mo Beichen peeled another shrimp and handed it to Yun Qingluo.

Yun Qinglu shook her head, opened her mouth and ate the shrimp that Mo Beichen handed her, then peeled a shrimp and fed it to Mo Beichen herself.

Mo Beichen was slightly taken aback, his expression softened, and he opened his mouth to eat the shrimp meat.

After the two finished their late-night snack, Yun Qingluo felt a bit bloated, so she went out and walked around the Imperial Garden a few times before she had digested her food.

“I already told you not to come with me. You have to attend court early tomorrow, and it’s already very late.” Yun Qingluo pulled Mo Beichen’s hand and quickly walked back.

Mo Beichen looked at Yun Qingluo with a doting expression, "It's never too late to spend time with Luoluo. I only regret that there isn't enough time."

Mo Beichen felt regretful, lamenting that he couldn't be by Luo Luo's side every moment.

That damned emperor, he was right to throw him to his good brother in the first place.

It's a pity, it would be so much better if he were well-behaved.

This is really troublesome.

Seeing that Mo Beichen was somewhat annoyed, Yun Qingluo assumed that he was worried about her condition, so she comforted him, "Achen, Master and Junior Uncle have sent word that they are all ready. We can go over there and discuss it together. Don't worry, I will definitely be fine."

Mo Beichen nodded upon hearing Yun Qingluo's words and said earnestly, "Yes, my Luoluo will live to be a hundred years old."

Yun Qingluo smiled knowingly upon hearing this.
