While Chen Xi was recuperating at home, he didn't know that the entire capital of Chen State was shaken by what happened last night, and the king Chen Muzhe was even furious in the palace in front of all the civil and military officials.

The breakfast shop was closed today, but the tea stall was still set up as usual because it was still early and no one came to drink tea.

Yao Jun came out of the shop and walked straight to a square table and sat down. Someone immediately brought him tea and cakes.

Grandpa Chen slept very late last night and did not fall asleep until Chen Xi drank the medicine. The people busy in the tea stall were all Yao Jun's people, also to prevent any accidents.

Yao Jun had just taken a sip of tea when a man of equally tall stature, wearing a linen cloak, with two weapons, one long and one short, on his waist and a crossbow as long as his arm, walked up to Yao Jun and saluted respectfully, "Master!"

"Sit down." Yao Jun nodded.

The man sat down opposite Yao Jun in an orderly manner. The waiter working in the tea stall hurriedly brought him tea. This man had a bad temper and no one could control him except Jun Jun and Sister Taozi.

All the neighbors knew what happened here last night. They thought that something had happened to the grandfather and grandson, but when they saw the tea stall set up, they began to have doubts.

There were still some black and brown residues on the ground in front of the store, indicating what happened here last night.

After drinking a bowl of tea, Yao Jun was the first to speak, his voice still as hoarse as a duck, "What's going on in the city now?"

Batian put down his tea bowl, sat upright, and reported in a low voice: "All four city gates are blocked. No one is allowed to enter or leave. The beast that was hung on the city wall last night was also taken down and taken away."

"I heard that the person in the palace got angry and wanted to find out who started it."

Batian hesitated for a moment, then said in a tangled tone: "Master, we acted too hastily last night. I'm afraid..."

Yao Jun looked at him with an unchanged expression and said, "With me here, what are you afraid of?"

Hearing this, Batian was so excited that he almost knocked over the tea bowl on the table, "Do you want to take action?"

Ever since the master was ambushed in the north a few years ago and nearly died, he has rarely taken action. Who would have thought that he would take action this time just for a little girl!

Ordinary people may not know this, and even the princes have probably only heard of their master's reputation.

But only the soldiers fighting on the front line against the Northern Barbarians and those who follow their master understand how terrifying their master's power is!

Xuan Zeng has the divine general Ying Yu, and they Jun Ye have a master!

Will you take action?

Yao Jun was not sure, but he certainly could not watch his fellow villager die for this. If someone discovered his whereabouts, they might start a massacre!

Who says they are fellow villagers? If I don’t protect them, who will?

Yao Jun chuckled and said, "There's no need to worry too much. We still have the Second Prince."

Thinking of the ambitious second prince, Batian asked worriedly, "Can he be trusted?"

"Whether he can be relied upon depends on whether he is strong enough." Yao Jun said lightly while holding the hilt of the sword.

Then he added: "Send a message to Xiao Tao, and tell her to hurry up with the team. Things here have taken up a lot of time, and it's time to finish it."

"Yes!" Batian replied, then stood up and strode away.

After Batian left, Yao Jun sat for a while until Grandpa Chen came out, then he got up and left, strolling around the city again and bringing back some food for his fellow villager.

"He's so skinny and small, and you can tell from one glance that he's malnourished. He needs to gain some weight."

“Why does it feel like I’m raising a pet?”

Walking down the street, Yao Jun laughed subconsciously. His beautiful voice sounded like the celestial music coming from heaven, attracting countless people's attention.

Probably because he had eaten something, when Chen Xi woke up from his coma again, his limbs had some strength, his mind was no longer dizzy, and he felt much more awake.

After being served by Xiao Luo and putting on her usual coarse linen clothes, Chen Xi discovered a problem. Compared with Xiao Luo, she looked like a maid.

Although he felt a little uncomfortable, Chen Xi did not show it. He sat on the bed and drank some of the hot porridge brought by Xiao Luo, then stood up and sat down on the stool.

Chen Xi asked: "Xiao Luo, where are my grandfather and Mr. Bai?"

"Mr. Bai, I don't know. Grandpa Chen was also busy all night. He didn't go to bed until you drank the medicine. He was taking care of the tea stall business." Xiao Luo said.

Chen Xi: "What time is it now?"

"It's almost noon. What do you want to eat? I'll make it." Xiao Luo decided to make the best of it. After all, being a maid means serving others wherever you go.

Now his body is weak and he has some strength, but not much. Chen Xi would like to drink some soup, which is easy to absorb and digest.

But her body didn't allow her to do it now. After thinking for a while, she said, "Let's cook some vegetable porridge. Do you have any mutton left over from yesterday? I can chop it up and put it in the porridge."

Xiao Luo made the vegetable porridge in the morning. It tasted okay, but there were too many vegetables and they were not cut finely enough. Chen Xi explained all this to her and let Xiao Luo go to cook.

When there was only one person left in the room, Chen Xi had time to think carefully about what he had experienced from yesterday to now.

The so-called seven emotions causing illness, that is, diseases caused by sudden and excessive fluctuations in emotions. Chen Xi knew a little about this, mainly because he had seen many doctors and had seen many patients when he was a child.

Chen Xi held his chin up and looked outside the house with dazed eyes. The sun was shining brightly now, but it was difficult for it to shine into his heart. Moreover, he was in ancient times and his family was not around. He felt lonely and helpless.

Sick people like to think too much, especially when they are alone.

"Mr. Bai is very kind to me. He saved me twice yesterday, invited a doctor to treat me, and also asked Xiao Luo to take care of me."

In Chen Xi's eyes, Yao Jun is not only good-looking, but also seems to be of a noble status. Not to mention her, even someone as noble as a princess would probably be unable to move her legs when she sees him.

What's more, her concern was not whether the group of people last night should be killed, but Yao Jun's calm eyes, as if he was not killing people, but just pinching a few ants to death while passing by, which scared her.

Thinking of Yao Jun's kindness in the past few days and his coldness last night, it was really hard for Chen Xi to accept. It was also the root cause of her inner and mental confusion.

Now that he had calmed down, Chen Xi had figured things out. "Mr. Bai's identity might be more complicated than I thought!"

Although reason told Chen Xi that he had to keep his distance from him, reality did not allow it and he was somewhat resistant to the idea in his heart.

Chen Xi smiled bitterly: "It's all the fault of the beauty addict!"

Having said that, Chen Xi was still grateful to Yao Jun. After all, what happened last night was caused by her.

"When I feel better, I'll make more delicious food for him."

After his eyes regained clarity, Chen Xi leaned back in his chair, looked at the sunlight outside, and sighed, "Power is such a good thing."

"You want rights?"

The sunlight was blocked by a tall figure, making the room dark. He walked into the room without stopping, and Chen Xi could see who it was clearly.

"Mr. Bai, didn't you... go to rest?" Chen Xi held onto the table and tried to stand up.

Yao Jun looked at her coldly and asked again: "Do you want power?"

Chen Xi lowered her head and didn't dare to look at him. She said softly, "It's just a thought."

Yao Jun stared at her for a while before nodding, putting the food on the table, turning around and leaving the room.

Chen Xi looked at his departing back, feeling empty inside.
