Zu An was stunned: "I didn't say that?"
Bi Linglong took a deep look at him, and then sighed faintly: "Brother Zu, you just mentioned those things, but you avoided discussing with me the issue of the person behind the scenes. I can tell it now."
"After all, you are following my order to return to Beijing on this trip. Only I know your itinerary best and can I set up an ambush at that inn so accurately. It's normal for you to have doubts."
"I would feel better if you directly said that you doubted me, because then I would still have a chance to explain to you, and it would also prove that you still believe me in your heart, but this time you didn't say anything and kept it in your heart."
Bi Linglong felt a sense of grievance welling up as she spoke, and her crystal tears kept falling down.
Zu An sighed and stretched out his hand to gently wipe away the tears on her face: "Linglong, you misunderstood. The reason why I didn't say it was because I believed it would never be you, because you didn't have any motive. You are now in a weak position in the capital.
How can you destroy the Great Wall when you continue to help me, given your status?"
"More importantly, because of our relationship, it's even less possible for you to deal with me."
Hearing what he said, Bi Linglong felt a little better, but her mouth was still curled up: "The royal family is the most ruthless. Even if the two of us are... that kind of relationship, we will not be soft when we should be ruthless. You talk
Even though I said this, I definitely still have doubts in my heart.”
Seeing her getting a little emotional, Zu An couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, actually there is one thing I didn't say. The client who gave those killers this mission is a eunuch."
"Eunuch?" Bi Linglong was shocked, and finally understood why Zu An hesitated to speak before
Stopping, she immediately said, "It must be the queen. She knows that you are the right-hand person behind me. As long as I kill you, I will completely lose my right-hand man, and she will be able to sit back and relax."
"It shouldn't be her." Zu An shook his head subconsciously.
"Why not her? Do you have a close friendship with her?" Bi Linglong stared at him suspiciously.
"When there was assassination in the palace, I saved her once. No matter what, I saved her life." Of course, Zu An did not dare to tell the real reason, so he could only explain it this way.
"Just because of this, you believe that she won't do anything bad to you?" Bi Linglong frowned, a little unbelievable.
Zu An sneered twice, there was really no way to explain this.
Bi Linglong continued: "In the royal family, when it comes to power, let alone life-saving grace, even husband and wife, and even father and son will not be able to tolerate each other. You must not act emotionally."
In order to live forever, Zhao Hao even used a ray of soul to seize the body of his biological son.
Zu An nodded: "Yes, what Linglong said is true, I understand."
In fact, comparing the two, he prefers Bi Linglong's side. After all, the two of them lived and died together in the secret realm and passed the test of blood and fire.
On the contrary, for Liu Ning, the relationship between the two parties is really difficult to accurately describe.
At first, Liu Ning only used him as healing medicine, and the relationship between the two was more based on desire. Although as time went by, everyone had more or less feelings for each other.
Therefore, he was also unwilling to believe that he was the killer of Liu Ning faction.
But she is a mature woman after all, and she has enough sense to make judgments about the things she cares about.
, not very emotional.
So he wasn't so sure either.
"By the way, how is the Qin family now?" Zu An didn't want to think about this troublesome topic.
"I remember that the Qin family has never been friendly to you. Wouldn't it be better if they were unlucky?" Bi Linglong suddenly felt resentful, "Is it because of Miss Chu that you care about the Qin family?"
Zu An sighed: "The two princes of the Qin family are the pillars of the country. From the perspective of the court, Linglong, you should also hope that they will survive this disaster safely."
"What's the use of being a pillar if you don't use it for me," Bi Linglong looked coldly, "The most indispensable thing in this world is talents. Without them, others will soon take over. Even if I am in the Liu family, I will
They made the same decision. They are the only ones to blame, and this outcome can be regarded as their own fault."
Zu An fell into silence. He actually did not agree with the other party's views. Whether it was the Chu family in the past or the Qin family today, it was precisely because they cared about the country and were unwilling to become a knife between the two camps that they harmed each other.
national interests.
But such a pure idea cannot achieve a good ending in reality.
Because he was once a member of King Qi's lineage, both the Liu family and the Bi family naturally wanted to take this opportunity to completely cleanse the Qin family of power and replace them with their own henchmen.
The remaining families in King Qi's previous camp are all in trouble at this time, and even if they have spare power, they probably won't help the Qin family.
Over the years, most people have complained that the Qin family did not do their best to help King Qi, which led to King Qi's current defeat. Maybe the people over there will hate him even more.
At this time, Bi Linglong's voice softened: "Now that the court is controlled by the Liu family, Qin
The life and death of my family is not decided by me, and even if I want to save them, I am powerless."
Zu An expressed his understanding. Now that she is on the defensive, she really does not have the energy to do this.
"I should be at the National Academy for the next period of time. I won't have time to participate in the court disputes in a short period of time." Zu An didn't want to participate in this matter from the bottom of his heart. After seeing the wider world, his eyes were very clear.
It is difficult to stop at mere court battles.
To use a saying from his previous life, his goal is the stars and the sea.
What's more, both sides in this fight have flesh on their palms and backs, so it's not good for either side.
Of course, Bi Linglong must be more affectionate, and it is impossible to just sit back and watch something happen to her.
Bi Linglong did not understand the meaning of his words, but nodded and said: "Yes, your first priority is to subdue the academy, so that the identity of the wine sacrificer can truly become your bargaining chip."
She knows best that all the teachers in the college are disciples of Lao Jijiu, and only one of them is Lao Jijiu.
All of these people are arrogant and do not take the experts in the imperial court seriously, let alone a young man like Zu An.
"The next response of the East Palace needs to be modified because of your appearance. Your wine sacrifice, regent, and even your previous status in the court have great uses. I have to think carefully about how to maximize your effect." Bi.
The more Linglong talked, the more excited she became.
Zu An hesitated to speak. Seeing her high spirits, it was hard to throw cold water on her.
No matter what, please help if you can.
At this time, Bi Linglong had re-applied her makeup and stood up and said: "We have to go out. After all, people's words are scary. Staying in the room together for too long can easily make the emperor angry."
Then we will find a reason to criticize."
The skin on her face is white and rosy, and there is no need to apply rouge at all.
Zu An also knew that there were many people in the East Palace and was worried about other things, so he didn't insist anymore.
Bi Linglong kissed him reluctantly and sent him away personally.
When the door opened, Zhao Ruizhi was squatting in the yard watching the little palace maid playing with the pair of white rabbits.
She seemed to be dissatisfied with the little palace maid's actions that were not rough enough, and shouted that she wanted to do it herself.
Seeing this scene, Bi Linglong raised her eyebrows: "Prince!"
Zhao Ruizhi looked back and saw not only Bi Linglong but also the evil star Zu An. He was so frightened that he said, "It's not me. It has nothing to do with me. I don't know."
While talking, he used his hands and feet and ran away in a hurry.
Bi Linglong was so angry that her chest kept rising and falling, and most of her original good mood was gone. It was not that she cared about the prince, but that she felt sorry for herself and her miserable fate.
Zu An comforted her with a few words and left the East Palace.
Not long after leaving the East Palace, a figure turned over from the rockery: "Master Zu, long time no see."
"After a few months of separation, Eunuch Lu's complexion seems to have improved a lot." Zu An also recognized the other party. Eunuch Lu actually looks pretty good, but he can't stand the gloomy temperament about him. He looks like a villain no matter what.
"It's incomparable to Mr. Zu. Every time I see Mr. Zu, he looks like a tree in the wind, so handsome that his eyes dazzle." Eunuch Lu joked with a smile.
"Eunuch Lu is in a really good mood." Zu An said with a smile.
"My Majesty is in a good mood recently, and I am naturally in a good mood as a slave." Eunuch Lu saluted, "Master Zu, my Majesty learned that you have returned to the palace, so she specially sent me to invite you.
You go over and talk about it."
"Thank you, father-in-law, please lead the way." Zu An smiled, he indeed had something to talk to Liu Ning about.
The two of them soon arrived at Kunning Palace. The entire palace was much livelier than before. It seems that it was during this period that the Liu family began to take power and the queen regained her cultivation, so many people in the palace began to show their courtesy.
Two little eunuchs, one fat and one thin, were receiving those people. They looked arrogant and indifferent, but the eunuchs and maids from each palace were still flattering to please them.
Zu An recognized the two of them. The thin one was Xiao Guizi and the fat one was Xiao Zhuozi. He didn't expect that they were now acting like dogs.
At this time, the two of them saw Zu An, and their eyes suddenly lit up. They left those people behind and came over to salute: "Greetings to Master Zu!"
That flattering look seemed to be the same as before. They knew a lot of secrets. They knew that he was a popular person that the queen valued. In addition, he had saved the lives of two people, so naturally they treated him differently.
Others around him were whispering, speculating on Zu An's identity. After all, he had not been in the palace for a long time, and many people had never seen him.
"Who is this man? Even Eunuch Gui and Eunuch Zhuo please him so much."
"Tch, I don't know. This is Shen Hou, the prince's concubine. Didn't you notice that the person leading the way is Grand Eunuch Lu?"
"It turns out it's him. I heard he's also the regent of the demon clan. I didn't expect him to be so young and handsome."
"Monster Regent? Please tell me in detail!"
…
After greeting Xiao Guizi and Xiao Zhuozi, Zu An was led by Eunuch Lu to the entrance of the queen's palace.
Eunuch Lu stopped and said, "Master Zu, my wife is waiting for you inside, so I won't go in."
"Am I alone? This
It's not appropriate, after all, so many people outside saw me coming in." Zu An was a little surprised. When he came here before, he usually chose when there was no one around, so now it would be too public.
"Don't worry, they can't see what's going on here, not to mention no one dares to say anything now." Eunuch Lu's tone was arrogant.
Zu Anxin thought that with Zhao Hao's death, all the careerists would stop pretending.
"Master Zu, are you here? Come in quickly." At this time, the queen's call sounded in the palace, and she was really charming and charming.
