"Stay here and don't go anywhere."

——The topic of that night finally stopped at this sentence.The next day, Chen Mao moved all the papers to the dormitory for processing, and Zhou Zhou saw Chen Mao's serious look when he opened his eyes.

"Is the morning court over?" Zhou Zhou asked.

"Did not go……"

Chen Mao didn't raise his head, his voice was still cold, and Zhou Zhou could hear that he was still angry.

After sleeping again last night, Zhou Zhou's spirit has improved a lot, so Eunuch Kang took the medicine and leaned on the bedside to meditate.

He only woke up last night, and was flustered by Chen Mao's anger. Now that he calmed down, Zhou Zhou carefully analyzed the situation in front of him in his heart.

As for the Heavenly Fate Stone, no one knows the power of the Divine Stone better than him, and perhaps no one can pull away from the divine sense and listen to the universe except him. Came here years ago.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhou turned his head and glanced at Chen Mao. Chen Mao kept a posture with his back straight and a memorial in his hand.

Zhou Zhou didn't know where he would go after the Tianji Stone broke, but he couldn't just wait passively.

He appeared out of thin air five years ago, and he has already left traces in history in five years. It would be unreasonable if he still disappeared out of thin air.

From the beginning of the war, Zhou Zhou thinks about the situation in the imperial court. No matter what he thinks, the only thing that can cause the greatest harm is the exposure of his relationship with Chen Mao.

What kind of commotion will be caused by the taboo of the national teacher and the emperor?

Zhou Zhou felt a little funny when he imagined that he was accused of being a disaster.

Chen Mao on the side has been secretly watching Zhou Zhou's movements.Seeing Zhou Zhou's sudden smile, he was very depressed.

Zhou Zhou is very clingy. Every time he was angry in the past, Zhou Zhou didn't hold him and say all kinds of good things to coax him. He lost his temper last night, and Zhou Zhou just asked if he should be left in the morning. On the side?Chen Mao's face was getting darker and darker, but Zhou Zhou still seemed unaware.

It's the hands that hurt, not the legs!Chen Mao murmured in his heart, he began to write more heavily, and slid a long red ink mark on the paper. Throwing down the memorial with a "snap", Chen Mao stood up unhappily.

Zhou Zhou called out to him, Chen Mao didn't look back, and continued to walk forward, but Zhou Zhou suddenly snorted: "Hiss—the wound seems to be cracked—call me the imperial doctor..."

Chen Mao couldn't hold it back anymore, his face was even worse than before, his lips were tightly pressed, and he walked quickly to Zhou Zhou's side.As soon as he got to the bed, Zhou Zhou jumped up, unlike a patient at all, hugged Chen Mao and dragged him to the bed.

"Isn't your hand hurting?" Chen Mao let him move, and asked deliberately in a blunt tone.

"If you don't hug you again, you're going to explode in anger." Zhou Zhou laughed, making it clear that Cai had been deliberately trying to get over it just now.

Chen Mao was about to get angry again when he heard the words, and Zhou Zhou's low laughter could be heard in his ears when Zhou Zhou covered it with a kiss.Instead, Chen Mao calmed down, nestled in Zhou Zhou's arms, and found a comfortable position, the two of them were speechless for a while.

The days in mid-July are extremely hot, and the plants in the garden look listless under the heat wave.In the shaded corner, the cicadas were also lying quietly, occasionally making a series of noises.

Zhou Zhou raised his hand suddenly, and Chen Mao saw that the gauze in the palm was stained with blood, and the bright red color was still getting bigger little by little.

"You!" Chen Mao sat up suddenly, held Zhou Zhou's hand, and called out Mr. Kang, but Zhou Zhou stopped him and motioned Chen Mao to help him untie the gauze.

After the gauze was removed, Zhou Zhou's palm was exposed, but it was no longer that bloody and bloody, but recovered as before, only a red mark was cracked on the palm, and blood was gurgling out, which stopped after a while up.

Chen Mao stared at Zhou Zhou's hand, speechless.Three days ago when Zhou Zhou came out of the Tianqi Building, both palms seemed to be torn off. Even when the dressing was changed last night, the injuries were still serious, but now, the wounds disappeared?

Chen Mao almost blurted out and asked Zhou Zhou: Did you secretly switch hands?Immediately afterwards, Chen Mao closed his eyes, suspecting that it was his hallucination.

"How is this going?"

Zhou Zhou also stared at his palm and thought about it, but he couldn't understand it.

"Take medicine to stop the bleeding first." Chen Mao called Eunuch Kang, but no one answered, "Eunuch Kang?"

There was only a little eunuch outside the door, who came in with a medicine box, saying that Eunuch Kang had just been called away in a hurry by the people from Tianqi Building.

Zhou Zhou looked at Chen Mao, but Chen Mao shook his head, saying that he did not order to intercept the news from Tianqi Tower, and the little eunuch also said, "The one you are looking for over there is Eunuch Kang."

Zhou Zhou had no choice but to say, "Wait for Eunuch Kang to come back."

Not long after the words were finished, Eunuch Kang came back, sweat dripping from his forehead, and a thin child followed behind him, but he looked refreshed and didn't sweat at all.

"Little boy?" Zhou Zhou was a little surprised.This child was picked up by Zhou Zhou, and he was named Xiaotong because he was a little boy after following the national teacher.

Apart from Tianji Stone, there is only this seven-year-old child in Tianqi Building.In the past five years, Xiaotong has never stepped out of the Tianqi Building, and he stays in the building with the stone every day, monitoring the movement of the Tianji Stone. It is impossible for others to imagine the days without the light of day.

When the little boy saw Zhou Zhou, he immediately showed a smiling face, his big eyes turned into two crooked lines, he jumped over Mr. Kang, ignored Chen Mao, and ran straight to Zhou Zhou: "Master, you are sick this time. It's been a long time."

The child's voice is very innocent, and the tone is elongated in some places, making it sound like a baby.

Zhou Zhou pinched the little boy's cheek, "Is that why you ran out of the building because you were worried about me?"

It is normal for Zhou Zhou to be surprised.Xiaotong has never left the Tianqi Building, and the Tianji Stone has also had an impact on Xiaotong. When he picked up Xiaotong, the child was four years old, but five years later, he was only three years older.Zhou Zhou also asked Xiaotong why he didn't go out to play, but Xiaotong just shook his head with a smile and didn't answer.

At this time, the little boy also shook his head with a smile, and stretched out his palm. There were two blood lines on the palm that were exactly the same as Zhou Zhou's palm.

Zhou Zhou frowned, and the little boy said crisply: "The fish in the stone can't swim anymore, and the star grains all fell and died. A few days ago, there were a few cracks on the sacred stone. I saw the mutation and the decline of divine power. , Apocalypse Building was probably useless, so I came out."

Xiaotong's bold words made people surprised. Zhou Zhou looked at Xiaotong's hand and smelled the faint smell of fire on his body, "You also wrote talisman paper?"

"Hmm." Xiao Tong nodded, "I'm afraid I only came out when the Tianqi Tower couldn't hold down the sacred stone and sealed it with a talisman, and the fish inside completely turned white."

The little boy blinked his eyes after speaking, and looked at Zhou Zhou expectantly, like a child waiting for praise, Zhou Zhou patted his head appreciatively: "You did it right, very good."

Chen Mao couldn't get in the conversation all the time, He and Eunuch Kang listened silently, when suddenly the little boy looked at him.

The little boy's eyes were very clear, as bright as colored glaze. Chen Mao stared blankly at the child, feeling strange in his heart. Suddenly, the little boy reached out and touched Chen Mao's face. Eunuch Kang turned pale with fright, but Chen Mao I was just taken aback in my heart, maintaining a calm face and allowing the boy to move.

The child's hands are small, with fat fingers, but the fingertips are cold and feel like jade.

The little boy touched Chen Mao's nose, mouth, and eyes one by one. Chen Mao felt a little strange. He looked at Zhou Zhou, and Zhou Zhou nodded imperceptibly—the little boy couldn't see it.

Chen Mao patiently waited for the little boy to finish touching, and when the little boy retracted his hand, he saw him happily rolled his eyes and said, "Brother, you are so pretty."

"You're pretty too."

"Really?" The little boy jumped for joy, not at all the gloom and shyness of being trapped in the building all year round and never interacting with others.

"Really." Chen Mao said seriously.It wasn't until Xiaotong was taken down by Eunuch Kang that Chen Mao looked at Zhou Zhou and asked him to explain.

Zhou Zhou pondered for a while.Five years ago, he suddenly appeared outside the capital city. After a few days of groping, he realized that he might be reborn, but the time and space dynasties around him were obviously hundreds of years later.

Wandering around the suburbs for several days, Zhou Zhou found a little boy in a ruined temple. There was a small Tianji stone on the boy's body.

A few days later, he met Emperor Xuanwu. The two exchanged briefly, which in Zhou Zhou's view was nothing more than a conversation, but Emperor Xuanwu regarded him as a national teacher. After that, it was another long story.

Zhou Zhou deliberately concealed his background, only saying that Xiaotong was picked up when he first came to the capital. Apart from the Tianji Stone, there is only Xiaotong in Tianqi Building, and he confessed that Xiaotong is an unusual and ordinary child.

Chen Mao was also thoughtful.Xiaotong's sudden visit was beyond their expectation, but it also brought vitality to the huge Hall of Harmony.

No matter how hot the weather was, the little boy was always refreshed. He searched the Hall of Supreme Harmony with curiosity, and often asked all kinds of weird questions. Chen Mao asked Zhou Zhou in private if he needed to hire a teacher for the little boy.

Zhou Zhou glanced at the little boy who was poking his head into the half-person-high vase, and whispered, "I'm afraid I won't be able to sit still."

Chen Mao has no experience in dealing with children, and he thought of the sixth imperial brother, Chen Du, who was about to be crowned king, and government affairs kept him busy.

Zhou Zhou's hand healed on the same day, and Chen Mao also resumed his early court. The two sat facing each other to review memorials every day, but it seemed that they couldn't finish the government affairs.

July 22 was a great heat, at night Chen Mao and Zhou Zhou were too hot to sleep, lying face to face talking about the court affairs.

"Those alien races have been raising soldiers for a long time, and the Ministry of Rites has not gone well several times. I think I should make plans as soon as possible..."

"Well. Da Chen has a strong army and a strong horse, but it is a matter of food and grass. The harvest has not been good in the past two years."

"Doesn't that blue and white club have a lot of food and grass?"

"Guan Hanzhong has already made a move. I think there will be good news in a few days..."

"My lord! Big brother!" The boy's voice suddenly came from outside the door, startling the two of them. Eunuch Kang's voice sounded immediately, urging the boy to go back to sleep, but the boy knocked on the door anxiously. Zhou Zhou and Chen Mao looked at each other and raised his voice to let Xiao Tong in.

The boy was only wearing a thin coat and no shoes, as if he had woken up from a dream. Eunuch Kang thought that the boy might have had a nightmare.

But before he opened his mouth to comfort him, Xiao Tong hastily spread out his palm, and there was a red line flowing in the palm.

"Someone entered the building and opened the seal!"

The little boy felt the talisman he had made. Outsiders were never allowed to enter the Apocalypse Building. Whenever there was a strange movement, he would wake up. He didn't even have time to put on his shoes, so he ran over from the side hall.

"Send someone to take a look." Chen Mao said immediately.

Eunuch Kang led the people to the Tianqi Tower in a hurry. On the way, he met the guards guarding the Tianqi Tower and hurried to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.Seeing the other party's expression, Eunuch Kang's heart skipped a beat, thinking that something really happened.

When he arrived at the Tianqi Tower, Eunuch Kang couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body.

The far door of Tianqi Courtyard was wide open, and when entering the courtyard, the door of Tianqi Building was open. There was a wriggling blood man at the door, and there was a thick smell of blood in the air.

The guards carefully surrounded the bloody man, not daring to go forward. The captain of the guard stood a few steps away, not daring to look into the Tianqi Building, his stomach was churning, and seeing Eunuch Kang coming, he seemed to see a savior.

"Eunuch Kang!" The captain of the guard shouted excitedly: "This seems to be Eunuch Ren!"
