Then the two of them stopped talking, and they just hugged each other tightly, using their hands and feet to entangle each other, leaving no space between them.

"Master!"
Gao Zhiqi came up with a tray full of food and called softly outside the door. In fact, he had come once in the afternoon. He stood outside the door with the tray in his hand, listening blankly to the earth-shaking noise inside. His jaw almost dropped. Naturally, he did not dare to disturb them, so he quietly left. It was not easy for the room to quiet down. He then hurried downstairs to order food and brought it up.
After a long time, footsteps were heard in the room. The one who opened the door was Liao Chongwu. He was only wearing an outer coat, and his hair was messy. At this time, facing Gao Zhiqi outside, he couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable. He reached out and took the tray from Gao Zhiqi. At the same time, he said to Gao Zhiqi in a deep voice: "Xiao Gao, you should go back and rest. We have to travel tomorrow."
Zhong Minge was leaving the capital secretly this time, so he couldn't stay long. He had to leave after tonight.
"Okay," Gao Zhiqi nodded. In fact, he was more embarrassed than Liao Chongwu. "Brother Liao, you and... me should also go to bed early."
As soon as these words came out, both of them were startled. Liao Chongwu coughed, then said "hmm", and was about to go in with the tray. Then Gao Zhiqi called Liao Chongwu softly: "Brother Liao."
"Is there anything else?" Liao Chongwu stopped and looked at Gao Zhiqi.
"Don't worry, I will take good care of and protect me." Gao Zhiqi said sincerely.
It was not until today that he came to his senses. Why Zhong Ming'e sent Liao Chongwu to the imperial mausoleum and why Liao Chongwu suddenly wanted to get married was all because of love. Gao Zhiqi was very grateful to Liao Chongwu for promoting him to be Zhong Ming'e's personal bodyguard before he left Beijing and for repeatedly telling him to take good care of Zhong Ming'e. He knew that Liao Chongwu trusted him.
He couldn't understand the relationship between Liao Chongwu and Zhong Minge, nor could he make any comment on it. However, he knew that although both of them were men, their love was not necessarily any less profound than the talented men and beautiful women in the operas. He respected their choices and admired their feelings.
"Thanks, brother." Liao Chongwu smiled with relief at Gao Zhiqi, then nodded and closed the door.

September 20th, the 33rd year of Jiasheng.
Ningguta.
Nanshan Villa.
"Master! A letter has arrived! A letter has arrived!" Pang Yi ran into the backyard early in the morning, ran happily into the study, took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Zhong Mingwei, "Master, please take a look, whose handwriting is this?"
"It's... from Chongyuan," Zhong Mingwei's eyes lit up immediately when he saw the familiar handwriting on the envelope. He had always been worried about Chi Chongyuan and Cheng Xiangyang. Just by looking at Chi Chongyuan's handwriting, his heart was relieved. He hurriedly opened the envelope and unfolded the letter inside. The more he read, the more excited he became. "Chongyuan and Xiangyang are both fine. That's great, really great!"
"Master, how are Chongyuan and the others doing now?" Pang Yi asked hurriedly, "Why haven't you sent any news for so long?"
"There really is trouble in Southern Xinjiang," Zhong Mingwei finished reading the letter, then put it down and said to Pang Yi, "Xu Chengjin embezzled the fruits of war and tried to rebel. Chongyuan and Xiangyang noticed Xu Chengjin's plot. After discussing it, they sent a letter to the Queen Mother, wondering if they could take this opportunity to uproot the Xu family. The one who sent the letter to the capital was Chongyuan's confidant, who deliberately leaked his whereabouts in the capital. Sure enough, everything turned out as Chongyuan and Xiangyang expected. The Queen Mother was restless after hearing the news, and hurriedly issued orders to Southern Xinjiang. On the other hand, the Emperor also realized that something was wrong, and sent people to Southern Xinjiang to investigate, which led to the Northwest Army entering Southern Xinjiang, capturing Xu Chengjin and other rebels alive and taking them back to the capital."
"Really? These two guys are so capable?!" Pang Yi was also very surprised. He stomped his feet on the ground twice and then said, "They used this trick of sneaking into Chencang really beautifully!"
"It's not just a sneak attack, I'm afraid there's also a self-torture trick," Zhong Mingwei took a sip of tea and sighed, "I think as soon as Xu Chengjin received the Queen Mother's letter, he immediately knew that it was Chongyuan and Xiangyang who leaked the information. According to Xu Chengjin's personality, it is impossible for him to let them off easily. It's not easy for these two guys to survive. They really suffered."
