"You really don't know this famous saying?"
Bai Yu, who had laughed enough, reached out and hugged the other person, looking over with his dark phoenix eyes. When the person next to him was stunned, he also leaned over and kissed him.
"What are you thinking about?"
"Hmm...I wonder if I've ever heard this before."
Chu Zehuai looked at Zhi next to him, his eyebrows curved.
"And I think you look better now."
Ming Baiyu is obviously no different from before, even his hair and eye color haven't changed, but he just thinks his boyfriend is good-looking no matter how he looks at him.
"I remembered another sentence."
"Or is this a meme you saw in a palace fighting drama?"
"No, no, I learned it from a history book. It mentioned in an ancient text that my wife said I was pretty because she had an affair with me."
...
...
".....Does this mean there is a private relationship?"
Chu Zehuai, who hadn't touched a history book for a long time, was confused for a while, and then he immediately realized that something was wrong.
"What did you just call me?"
"Well, nothing, I just translated it."
A plant and a person were chatting casually on the swaying swing, teasing and playing with each other from time to time. The midsummer breeze blew through the leaves of the vines, and the years were peaceful and quiet.
But as the saying goes, if someone is enjoying a peaceful life on one side, there must be someone else struggling with the heavy burden on the other side.
The group of people in the harem haven't figured out the rules yet, and don't dare to act as recklessly as the two on the swing. They are still following the prompts in their minds, fearing that the collapse of their character will lead to dangerous consequences.
Inside the palace, Chu Yunrou, who was sitting on a high seat, looked at the large group of captains dressed in various concubines' costumes below and felt like her head was about to explode.
According to the plot, today is the day when all the concubines come to pay their respects to the Queen Mother. She expected a bunch of subordinates to gather together to talk, but she didn't expect them to be so talkative.
They were all calm, taciturn and capable when they were in the Investigation Bureau, but now they are like a group of parrots.
It doesn't feel like following a plot, but more like letting go of myself.
In this noisy scene, a hand was raised high, and a voice stood out with a very representative timbre, attracting everyone's attention:
"Your Highness, I have something to say."
Chu Yunrou raised her eyes and said, "Is it Concubine Li? What do you need to report to me?"
Li Song raised her hand and turned to Yue Feng beside her: "I want to report Concubine Yue for having an affair and defiling the harem. This crime is unforgivable!"
Yue Feng's eyes widened suddenly: "How good you are, Concubine Li, slandering others' innocence out of thin air."
"Heh, don't you know whether what I said is true or not?"
"You obviously just want to slander me and ruin my reputation."
With a "bang", a cup was placed heavily on the table. Chu Yunrou looked at the scene that suddenly became quiet, breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned to look at Li Song:
"The palace rules are strict, Concubine Li cannot make false statements. Since you said Concubine Yue had an affair, who was the adulterer?"
Li Song puffed out his chest proudly: "The adulterer is me!"
Everyone present:.........
After being stunned for a few seconds, Yue Feng no longer cared about maintaining the plot and directly started tearing Li Song apart, his face blurred with anger: "When did I have an affair with you? I will kill you!!!"
"Oh, you are angry out of shame. Concubine Yue, you are anxious."
"Calm down! Calm down!"
The situation, which had finally stabilized, fell into chaos again.
Chu Yunrou looked at the concubines who were becoming more and more involved... no, it was the captain who was involved, and her brows were furrowed into a "川" shape.
Not only the captain, but also some team members were dragged in.
"Yuan Xue, smash his mouth for me!"
"Yes, madam."
"Fei Yu, hurry up and protect the queen!"
Chu Yunrou: .....My head hurts.
The one who finally ended the chaotic scene was Eunuch Lin who rushed to the harem.
"Stop fighting! In fact, don't worry about the plot and characters in your mind. The level of pollutants here is not as high as that of the 'Happy Opera House'. There is no way to forcibly control or punish us."
Lin Mo said breathlessly, his dark eyes looking at everyone who was frozen in place because of his words.
When he saw Team Li and Team Yue arguing from afar, he felt something was wrong and ran over quickly.
Fortunately, when Captain Yue’s metal nails were about to scratch Captain Li’s face, he stopped him.
Lin Mo wiped his sweat and looked at his mother who was sitting high up in the seat with a complicated expression. He was a little confused at first, but then he suddenly realized after thinking about his own clothes.
Any mother would have complicated feelings if she saw her child become a eunuch.
So Lin Mo showed Chu Yunrou a bright smile: "Don't worry, I'm just wearing this dress, I still have what I need."
Chu Yunrou:.......She is not worried about this.
The main thing is that his son doesn't seem to have any discomfort with this identity.
Was it because she was too busy? She didn't realize that Xiao Mo had this habit.
After Lin Mo's words spread, the captains who were fighting just now immediately returned to their previous reserved and steady appearance.
Except for Li Song and Yue Feng in the middle.
"If I had known that I didn't have to follow the plot, I wouldn't have said anything just now."
Li Song took out a fan from somewhere and fanned himself with his eyes narrowed.
"I always feel that you did it on purpose." Deliberately slandering my innocence in the name of the plot.
Yue Feng looked at Li Song with gritted teeth.
"Oh my, the rules in the Investigation Bureau are very strict. Captain Yue can't just lie."
Li Song continued to fan himself. No one knew what was hidden under his smiling face. After a moment, his dark eyes turned.
"What's more, Captain Yue, you look particularly delicate in pink today. How can I bear to - ah -"
Yue Feng punched Li Song in the face.
The two started fighting again.
"Separate the two of them."
Chu Yunrou rubbed her temples and looked at her eunuch son.
"Where is Xiao Huai?"
"Uh, my brother...he is on the swing with Xiao Bai."
"Logically, this level of contamination shouldn't be able to hold him back."
Chu Yunrou nodded her chin, thinking.
"He didn't break through the contamination right away. I guess he discovered something. After all, this contamination is very strange. I haven't seen an enemy who dares to break in directly in many years."
Whether as the current head of the Chu family or as the director of the Qinghe City Investigation Bureau, Chu Yunrou has 100% confidence in her nephew.
Since Chu Zehuai did not take action, he must have his considerations.
And coincidentally, the person sitting on the swing thought the same thing.
"My aunt can break this level of contamination with one hand, not to mention that Li Song is still beside her."
Chu Zehuai leaned on Bai Yu's shoulder and swayed on the swing.
"So they are still sitting still in the harem. Maybe they have discovered something."
Bai Yu nodded and agreed.
After all, they are now in the script of a palace drama, and 90% of the plot takes place in the harem. The main body of the "palace" may even be in the harem.
So for the next few days, Bai Yu and Chu Zehuai spent their time playing on the swings, doing handicrafts together, taking walks on the gravel road, climbing trees and chatting, quietly waiting for the people in the harem to make a move.
Dozens of people in the harem have begun to enjoy the life of a concubine. Although they know it is fake, the leisurely life here is much better than the life of a captain of the investigation team who works hard.
While they were lamenting about this rare "vacation", they were waiting for Chu Zehuai to make a move.
Time passed quickly, and Yue Feng was almost used to calling himself "this palace". Finally, someone couldn't hold back any longer and overturned the table.
It’s not Chu Zehuai, it’s Lin Mo.
As the connecting point between the two groups, Lin Mo has been running between the two under the scorching sun these past few days, and from time to time he has to receive subtle glances from the NPCs asking him "So you're a eunuch."
Looking at other leisurely colleagues, Lin Mo's imbalance accumulated little by little.
Why is he always the one with the lowest status?
The last time before it was food, the time before it was a groom and a servant, and this time it was a eunuch.
After being asked countless times by a stupid NPC maid whether he wanted to go to the toilet together, the Dark Night Crow completely exploded and waved the long white-haired authority in his hand representing the eunuch: "Why can't I have a more noble status?"
“Boom—”
Dense dark clouds covered the top of the palace. After Lin Mo finished speaking, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck down, and Lin Mo disappeared in an instant.
A trace of mysterious rule-based power flows in the air.
“I think I found the main body of it.”
Chu Zehuai jumped off the swing, his eyes fixed on the void. With his powerful mental perception, he directly locked onto the location of the "palace".
"Compared to this, I want to know where the Dark Night Crow went."
Seeing Eunuch Lin disappear in the distance, Bai Yu couldn't help but frown. The "palace" was not an important pollutant, but Lin Mo was a very important person.
Amid the constant thunder and the completely gloomy environment, a series of hurried footsteps were heard, and a group of NPC eunuchs and palace maids with blurred faces came running over holding a huge swaddling cloth. Inside was the naked, bewildered Lin Mo.
"Your Majesty, the little prince can speak today. The Queen Mother ordered us to bring him to you and the Queen!"
They struggled to present the swaddling clothes to the person and the animal. An old lady came over and lovingly put a bib around Lin Mo's neck.
"Look, these eyebrows and eyes are so similar to the Queen and His Majesty!"
