When Yun Xiao woke up again, it was already noon the next day. The temperature in the Imperial City was rising rapidly every day. The sun was shining brightly and there was no wind at all. She opened her eyes in a daze and subconsciously scratched her head in the sweltering heat.

Then she heard a strange buzzing sound in her brain, as if there was some strange blank that blocked her memory. Yun Xiao turned her head blankly and glanced at the slightly open window. Before she could recover, the room

The door creaked open and Di Zhong stood at the door with a smile and said hello.

"You..." A chill ran down her back. She hugged the blanket tighter and swallowed nervously. Di Zhong walked in and opened all the windows to let some air in. He looked at the involuntary panic on her face.

, just pretending that nothing happened and asked calmly, "Have you sobered up? I told you a long time ago that those profiteers' words should not be taken lightly. The fruit wine you drank last night has more stamina than strong wine, and you still have to be brave."

I drank several glasses of wine and fell unconscious without even putting down the glass. Fortunately for you, I still gave her some tea to celebrate my birthday, and I was the first to lie down and sleep until noon."

Yun Xiao listened with wide eyes, and saw him coming over and pressing his head hard twice as usual, shaking it twice, and then laughed: "What is this expression? Are you having a nightmare?"

"No, no." She immediately lowered her head, her breathing became inexplicably rapid, and she secretly glanced at her clothes. There were some scattered pieces flashing in front of her eyes, but she could never put them together.

Di Zhong sat down with a smile, looked at her with interest in a leisurely manner, and asked in a calm tone: "It's not a nightmare, why are you blushing? Could it be...a spring dream?"

"No!" Yun Xiao denied with her cheeks flushed, as if she was a little worried about the person sitting in front of her, and immediately put on an indifferent and indifferent expression. She carefully touched her body under the quilt, and there was no such thing.

Could this feeling of powerlessness after a spasm really be...a dream?

Di Zhong raised his eyebrows, and was not surprised to see the awkward expression on the other side's mouth slightly twitching. She is of the blood of the Imperial Bird. Apart from the more domineering two-life technique, it is not easy to directly erase a memory of hers.

Her perception and sensitivity were much higher than normal people, so last night he quietly put the Bai Jue Yuhuan stained with the power of the Queen Mother of the West into her body, so that she could barely remember it.

All he has to do now is to find some high-sounding excuses to cover up the past. After all, this is a girl who is very easy to deceive.

Yun Xiao hugged the blanket, her face was so hot that she was sweating profusely, and she didn't dare to let go. She stared at him strangely for a while, and then asked in a low voice for a long time: "How did you become like him?"

?”

Having already guessed that she would ask this question, Di Zhong calmly took her hand and put it directly on his chest. She shivered in shock, and when she tried to pull it back, she heard a heavy sigh in her ears. Di Zhong

He held on tightly without letting go, with a hint of tiredness on his brows, and explained in a low voice: "He is injured. You have been quarreling in the past few days, so you haven't noticed anything unusual about him, right?"

Yun Xiao was stunned for a moment, her hand was forcibly pulled into her arms, and her face immediately changed with shock. Instead, she took the initiative to go over and check it carefully, and said anxiously: "What's going on? He, his whole body

Why are all the bones falling apart?”

"His opponent is Xin Mo." Di Zhong smiled bitterly. Her reaction suddenly made him feel a little unhappy. He avoided her eyes and continued lightly, "If it were someone else who met Xin Mo,

, then even the bones must be completely crushed into pieces. Not only that, his internal organs have been slightly displaced. They are currently relying on the divine power of the heavens as a lead to slowly repair. If he is in such a bad state, he cannot rest well, and he has to resort to it.

As if he had nothing to do, he would go to the spring election venue every day and keep an eye on him. Even if a few newly recruited soldiers wanted to spar with each other, he wouldn't refuse. As a result, he couldn't stand it at all once the fight started..."

"What's wrong with him?" Yun Xiao was anxious. She had been filled with anger in her heart these past few days and she didn't even look at him. Even if he took the initiative to say hello when he left early and came home late every day, she deliberately pretended not to care and ignored him.

, when he suddenly heard such a thing, all disguises could no longer be hidden, and his eyes were red with tears, but Di Zhong seemed to be stung by such earnest eyes, and he lowered his head in an instant,

He said calmly, "After all, he is still the master of the pavilion, and he was taught by me. It would be too embarrassing if he collapsed at the spring election venue, so I can only... temporarily replace him."

Yun Xiao listened with half-understanding, and as he expected, he was not suspicious at all. After a while, he asked blankly: "What do you mean?"

He was suddenly amused, raised his hand and subconsciously touched her face, and answered with a crooked eyebrow: "It's just the literal meaning, isn't it difficult to understand?"

"Then...how is he doing now?"

"Let him have a good rest for a while." Di Zhong was confused casually, and wanted to say something, but in the end he just comforted him lightly, "There is nothing serious about him, but he will always refuse to have a good rest without something tough.

I have to go to the spring election again, and I have to distract myself from the Paradise Pearl, so I don’t feel at ease at all.”

"Is this his job?" Yun Xiao pouted and muttered in a low voice. Di Zhong stood in front of the couch and stared at her quietly for a long time, then suddenly asked curiously, "He is so busy every day and has no time to spend with you.

Aren't you bored?"

Yun Xiao dragged her chin and scratched her head, and after a while she answered seriously: "There's nothing wrong with it. He has his ideals and ambitions, and I hope I can help him realize these dreams. It's better than doing nothing, right?"

"

When he heard this congratulatory message, the muscles on his face seemed to be stiff, and it took a long time to force out a smile - nothing to do? As Feng Ming said last night, the heavens are free and loose, except for aimless activities.

Apart from taking thousands of floating islands as their own, they have almost no so-called ideals, ambitions and responsibilities. He may have had those things, but they have been worn away over a long period of time.

Di Zhong's eyes flashed with sharpness, and he gave a short laugh: "Then do you want to live an ordinary life at home, caring for your husband and raising children?"

Yun Xiao was stunned for a moment, fell silent, and suddenly put on a sweet smile: "When I get better, I can go out and find a job!"

Many complicated emotions flashed across his face in an instant, and he changed his tone and asked sternly: "You bear the fire of the Emperor Bird. You are more powerful than all the women in Feiyuan, but you just want to be his caged bird.

Is God’s gift of fire really going to be wasted like this?”

Yun Xiao wrung her hands, but stared at him with a stoic gaze: "I cannot decide my birth, and I am not worthy of the fire given by God. But if God gives me another chance to choose, I want to be an ordinary person."

woman."

Di Zhong looked at her for a long time, feeling the pain of being cut apart, but the moment he saw her clear eyes, his heart was like a bright mirror, shining through, and then he smiled... Ordinary life? Once upon a time, this was what he expected.

life.

Humans are really insatiable creatures. People with power long for the ordinary, while ordinary and weak people long for the powerful.

His thoughts were a little confused for a moment. Di Zhong shook his head, brought a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "I can't bear the loneliness, and I long for a simple life. Isn't it good to be a noble wife at home? With his current status,

, if you go out to find a job, you might be targeted by someone who is interested, and you will be hard to guard against all kinds of overt and covert attacks. With your scheming skills, you will be plotted by others sooner or later. "

"I'll go to Qinlou and serve tea and water to the guests together with Xiaocha, so I won't be spotted, right?" She stubbornly found an excuse, heard a dismissive snort, and cursed, "Are you kidding me?

, can you pursue something? No matter what, you have to ask him to arrange an errand for you in the military pavilion. Although your skills are a bit lacking, it should be more than enough to guide the new recruits..."

"Really?" Yun Xiao couldn't wait to interrupt him, her eyes gleaming as she geared up, "That makes sense. I can also participate in their spring and autumn elections. If I am selected, wouldn't I be able to become a female general?"

?”

Di Zhong's face was slightly moved, and there was a trace of surprise and appreciation in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Before that, I have to help him act for a few days. If he neglects his duties and is dismissed, there is no way to open the back door for him.

You become a female general, don't worry. Although I don't like the rigid laws and rules of human beings, it won't cause her to lose her hat. I will go to the military pavilion later and I have to act like a little bit."

"Are you going? Well... you will definitely be exposed, right?" Yun Xiao imagined that scene and couldn't help but giggle.

He snorted disdainfully, pulled the blanket in her arms to throw it away, and said coldly: "It's time for you to get up. Isn't it warm from holding the blanket at noon? Go take a shower and change clothes."

At the moment when their eyes met, Yun Xiao's thinking suddenly paused, and her blood solidified in an instant. Something creepy in her subconscious caused her whole body to convulse violently for a moment. She pulled the blanket and hugged her into her arms. Di Zhong's heart

He was startled, but his calm eyes remained unchanged. He saw her twisting her wrist stiffly, showing an extremely confused look, and muttered: "Is it the effect of the fruit juice? I can't exert any effort at all."

Then he suddenly remembered that the golden thread technique that bound her last night had not yet been lifted. Di Zhong held her down without any trace, then quickly raised his hand and touched her heart: "And you, your injury has not healed yet.

Stop running around willfully, I have to deal with the matter of the Paradise Bead these days, so you should stay at home and don't go out wandering around."

While he was talking, he pulled out a golden thread and wrapped it around Yun Xiao's skin, stabbing a faint coldness in the same way. In an instant, there was another wave of softness coming from the inside out, as if it was firmly held by something invisible.

She was restrained and couldn't use any strength in her body. She looked at this scene in surprise, and a familiar scene suddenly appeared in her mind. Di Zhong stood up calmly and said: "Don't rely on yourself to learn a little bit about the three-legged cat."

My kung fu knows no bounds. I tied a magic spell to you for your own good. Listen to the instructions and raise mice at home these days. When the matter of the Paradise Bead is resolved, you can go and live in the Silent Valley. His safe, Huangyan

Can't get in."

"Then you don't need to use magic to tie me up, right?" Yun Xiao complained and shook his hands, saying unhappily, "I can't run far to begin with, please untie me quickly."
