It must be said that the Prime Minister is meticulous in his work. Even though Mu Zhuochen knows that he was the one who did it, he has been unable to find an opportunity to act. Now, if he reveals even the slightest mistake, he will surely die.
"How is His Majesty doing?"
The guard obediently replied, "His Majesty seems to have retired quite early."
Mu Zhuochen smiled. Little liar, you promised to prepare a surprise for me. You better be right, or I won't let you off the hook.
…
…
"Your Highness, it's time to get up and go to court."
The sound outside the door made Mu Zhuochen sit up abruptly, wiping the sweat from his forehead, his mind filled with the scenes from his dream.
What should I do? I used to think I was too much of a beast and not human, but now I'm becoming more and more unrestrained in my dreams.
Mu Zhuochen's cheeks were flushed, his breathing was more rapid than usual, and his heart seemed about to jump out of his chest.

Xiao Haizi smiled, had a chair brought over, and ordered tea to be made for Mu Zhuochen.
Only after the incense had completely burned out did Xiao Haizi speak, saying, "His Majesty said that only the Prince is allowed to enter, and the surprise is reserved for the Prince alone."
Mu Zhuochen's subordinate still glanced at him. Normally, this would probably be an ambush, but he felt that the young emperor wouldn't do such a thing, and the prince was no ordinary person either.
So the subordinate eventually silently withdrew his gaze and stood aside like the others.
