Murong Xiao slept until early the next morning before waking up. When he woke up, his whole body was sore and weak, as if he was suffering from the aftereffects of a night of indulgence.

Could it be that he and Chu Zhao consummated their marriage last night?

But why does he have no impression at all?

He reached out and touched the bed next to him. The bed was cold and it didn't look like someone had slept on it. So did Chu Zhao sleep with him last night?

"Beiyuan, Beiyuan..." He raised his voice and called people outside.

Beiyuan heard the call and walked in immediately: "Thank God, Your Majesty, you are awake."

Murong Xiao raised his hand, motioning for him to help him up, and asked tentatively: "Where is the princess? Why is she missing so early in the morning?"

"..." Bei Yuanxin said, what do you mean she disappeared early in the morning? The princess didn't live here at all last night.

But before she left, the princess warned him that the prince wanted to save face. If he knew that the princess left him last night, he would definitely be angry again, so she asked him to help cover up, saying that the princess only left this morning.

Beiyuan didn't know if this was right. Because he was afraid that the prince would blame him for not keeping the princess, he followed Chu Zhao's instructions and said: "The princess left early in the morning and said that the prince has been working too hard recently. He asked his subordinates not to wake you up and wait for you." When she wakes up, she will go back to the palace to prepare for today’s meeting.”

Murong Xiao was happy but annoyed after hearing this.

He was happy that Chu Zhao actually stayed and slept with him all night, but he was upset that he actually fell asleep again and missed a great opportunity.

However, when did he feel so weak? Is he so exhausted after just traveling for a few days?

It seemed that he really needed to drink some wine to replenish his energy.

Murong Xiao got up with a complicated mood, washed himself under Beiyuan's service, had breakfast and then went to Beidi Palace again with the delegation.

Yesterday, he went back to his room as soon as he arrived at the post house, but he didn't see General Xiao and the others. They finally met each other early this morning.

Murong Xiao didn't have any special feelings for General Xiao, Wang Baobao and Tie Chui, but because Chu Huai was Chu Zhao's younger brother, Ai Wu and Wu Di talked to him a few more words with a very kind attitude.

Everyone walked to the palace together. On the way, they passed a stall selling oil tea and milk tofu. Chu Huai said, "Eldest sister likes the milk tofu here. I will buy one and bring it to her."

Murong Xiao speculated: "She left early in the morning, so she should have passed by here, and maybe she has already bought it."

"No, elder sister, yesterday..."

Chu Huai wanted to say that Chu Zhao was picked up by Ah Ao last night. When he was about to say it, Beiyuan poked his waist with his finger from behind.

Chu Huai looked back at Bei Yuan and asked him: "Bei Guard, why are you poking me?"

Beiyuan wanted to die.

He really couldn't figure out how someone as smart as the princess could have such a stupid brother?

Murong Xiao seemed to realize something was wrong, and turned to look at him, frowning and saying, "What the hell are you doing?"

"No, I want to ask the Fifth Young Master to give this opportunity to the prince." Beiyuan said in a hurry.

When Murong Xiao heard this, he thought it was a good idea. Since it was something Ah Zhao liked to eat, he would personally buy one for her as a reward for her sleeping with him last night!

Thinking like this, he got off his horse and bought a portion of oil tea and milk tofu in person, and carried them carefully all the way to the palace.

When he arrived at the palace, he saw Chu Zhao with a smile on his face and handed it to her like a treasure: "Ah Zhao, Ah Huai said you like this the most. I bought it for you specially. You can try it to see if it tastes good."

Chu Zhao was surprised. Just as he was about to say something, Beiyuan hurriedly came up and interrupted: "Yes, Princess. The prince said that you worked hard to accompany him last night, and he was afraid that you would leave early without eating, so he bought it for you."

After saying this, he was afraid that Chu Zhao wouldn't understand, so he blinked at Chu Zhao desperately.

"Oh." Chu Zhao groaned, understanding what he meant. He took what Murong Xiao handed over and showed a sweet smile: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is interested."

When Murong Xiao saw that she had accepted his kindness, his heart felt as sweet as drinking honey.

Beiyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and a layer of sweat broke out on his back.

It's so dangerous, I almost exposed my secrets.

It's really not a job done by humans.

When Chu Zhao, Murong Xiao and the envoys entered the hall, General Xiao put his arms around Beiyuan's neck and gave him a thumbs up: "Brother Beiyuan, congratulations, you have left the army!"

"Yes, yes, you are now a member of our camp." Wang Baobao said, "We have to celebrate tonight."

Beiyuan: "..."

What the hell?

He just helped the princess deceive the prince once, so why did he become a member of their camp?

It was a white lie on his part, right?

Amitabha, I hope the prince never knows this truth, otherwise he will be dead.

Throughout the next day, the Dayan delegation and Beidi officials, led by Chu Zhao and A Ao, held the first round of peaceful and friendly talks.

In the evening, Murong Xiao was planning to take Chu Zhao back to the post house, but Ah Ao ordered a banquet to be held in the palace, saying that he wanted to cleanse the delegation of their troubles and express their condolences for everyone's hard work this day.

Murong Xiao had no choice but to stay and have the banquet.

He was thinking about doing happy things with Chu Zhao, and reminded himself again and again not to be greedy.

Who would have thought that all the officials from Beidi came to toast him, and said that according to their rules, the more distinguished the guest, the bigger the bowl.

That bowl was almost as big as the soup basin in Prince Jingnan's Mansion.

Murong Xiao couldn't resist his kindness, so he drank one bowl after another. Until the end, he didn't even know how he got back to the inn.

When I woke up the next day, I asked Beiyuan. Beiyuan said that everyone drank too much last night, and the princess also drank too much, so she stayed in the palace and did not come back.

Murong Xiao was very sorry and asked Aao if he was drunk.

Beiyuan said that A'ao was so drunk that he was unconscious. He felt relieved and secretly made up his mind that he would not drink again tonight no matter what.

Unexpectedly, in the evening, after the day's talks, when they returned to the post house, A'ao also followed them, saying that last night was an official banquet, and they themselves wanted to have a good drink tonight, and they would not return until they were drunk.

Murong Xiao didn't want to drink, but everyone responded with enthusiasm. They dragged him to Xu Hui's room and drank until midnight.

Murong Xiao woke up the next day with a splitting headache and couldn't remember who brought him back.

He sat on the bed, rubbing his temples painfully, and suddenly realized something was wrong.

Aao, who had never dealt with him, became the King of Beidi this time. Instead of making things difficult for him, he was particularly enthusiastic towards him.

And Xu Hui, that man obviously has eyes on the top of his head and doesn't care about anyone except Chu Zhao. Why is he so enthusiastic about him this time, and is even willing to let everyone come to his room to drink and have a carnival?

Not right.

This is not right.

They were premeditated.

They were working together to plot against him.

They didn't want him to get close to Azhao, so they deliberately caused trouble.

Yes, definitely so.

Murong Xiao thought about this, and then thought, is it possible that they were responsible for him falling asleep in the bath the night before?

After all, this is the first time in my life that I fell asleep after taking a shower.

Murong Xiao was so angry that he wanted to stab those nasty guys with his sword.

I don’t know what evil I did in my previous life to end up with such a group of debt collectors.

Really enough!

However, do they think this will stop him from being intimate with Azhao?

I don't think about it!

Tonight, he said he would never be fooled by them again.

Azhao must be alone, completely, and truly his own tonight.

Just wait and see!
