"I gave Xiao Xi so many life-saving elixirs, and she is smart, so she should be fine." Ji Dengtu said to himself, but the wine in front of him suddenly lost its flavor no matter how hard he drank.
In the end, he couldn't sit down anymore, so he hurried out of the city gate in a flash.
After a while, a splendid old madam twisted her fat waist and said, "Brother, I heard that you don't like young people, do you want me to..."
She froze in mid-sentence, looking at the table of peanut shells and tilted wine glasses, and there was not even half a human figure anywhere.
Soon a shrill cry rang out in the house, "Damn it, you're having sex for nothing!"
A boy next to him said weakly, "It seems that he hasn't ordered a girl yet, so it doesn't count... doesn't count as prostitution, right?"
"Don't you know, I want you to talk too much! If you enter the door of our Hongxiuzhao, drinking will not count as money?"
…
Let's talk about the back of the academy. After seeing off the queen, Zu An couldn't help but sigh with emotion. He used to envy those stallion protagonists, but now he understands that it's not easy for them. There are so many women around him, especially those who come in front and back, which is a waste of money...
Fortunately, he practiced the Hongmeng Yuanshi Jing and his body was tempered to be extremely strong. I don't know how ordinary people can do it.
Shaking his head and dispelling these messy thoughts, he decided to go to the prison. Bi Linglong and Liu Ning both told him the same thing. It would be better to resolve this matter as soon as possible, especially since Zhao Xiaodie still knew about him.
The relationship with Yun Jianyue and Yan Xuehen.
It didn't take long to arrive near the Tianlao. After all, Zhao Xiaodie was the princess of Prince Qi's Mansion. Now that she was not convicted and was imprisoned in the Tianlao, the impact was too bad, so she was temporarily placed under house arrest in a house next to the Tianlao.
These places are specially used to accommodate those noble women. After all, in a dirty place like Tianlao, if the jailer inside does something bad, it will not look good on everyone.
Sensing that someone was coming, a guard quickly came forward to stop the "miscellaneous people waiting..."
Halfway through, I finally saw Zu An's appearance clearly. I couldn't help being startled, and my voice started to tremble a little, "See the regent, I'm blind..."
Zu An was startled, "Do you know me?"
He had just arrived in a hurry, and he didn't bring his entourage or wear official uniforms, and he was worried that there would be some trouble.
"Your Majesty, you are joking. Who doesn't know you now?" The guards said with a smile, "The most popular thing sold on the street is your portrait."
If there were many official figures in the capital who did not know him before, even if he was already a marquis and a popular figure in the East Palace, after all, there were too many people with good backgrounds in the capital, and no one would be interested in a newcomer.
The young man fell in love with him.
But after the battle with the Meng family, who doesn't know him?
"My portrait?" Zu An originally just asked casually, but he couldn't help but stop when he heard this.
Those guards had fawning smiles on their faces. "Ordinary people bought it and said it can ward off evil spirits and avoid being bullied by dignitaries."
"The dignitaries buy them back..."
"Why buy it back?" Zu An asked curiously.
"Let them remember the regent's appearance, teach their nephews a lesson, and warn them that it doesn't matter how dandy they are on weekdays, but if they meet you, they must not rush into you." The guards finally explained clearly.
Zu An "..."
Damn it, they sold my portrait and they didn’t even mention sharing my portrait fees.
And if everyone knows me in the future, how can I pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger?
The more I thought about it, the more something was wrong, so I decided to order the embroidered clothes messenger to seal up the relevant transactions after I went back.
He entered Zhao Xiaodie's room with a dark face. The girl in colorful clothes was sitting by the window in a daze. She was startled by the sudden entry. After seeing clearly that it was him, she patted her chest and said, "It turns out to be Brother Zu.
Scared me."
Although she forced a smile on her face, her beautiful face still showed haggard and tiredness.
Zu An motioned for her to sit down, "Come here and see if anyone bullies you along the way?"
"My identity is here, who dares? Besides, with Brother Zu protecting me, no one dares to touch me." Zhao Xiaodie smiled, "Brother Zu is here today. How will the imperial court deal with our Qi Prince's Mansion?
Have you reached a conclusion?"
Zu An nodded, "Yes, the things you were worried about before will not happen. Now the court has decided to deal with this matter coldly. It will even restore your father's reputation and handle it as if they were in trouble together in the secret realm."
After all, he didn't follow the methods of Bi Linglong and Liu Ningjiao and take credit for these things, which always seemed a bit despicable.
Zhao Xiaodie was originally very worried, but when she heard this, she burst into tears of joy, "Brother Zu, wasn't I dreaming?"
"Of course it's true." Seeing her jumping up and down, Zu An couldn't help but smile, "Of course, your Prince Qi Mansion will no longer have the power it once had."
Zhao Xiaodie had fun for a while, and finally calmed down a little, and bowed respectfully to Zu An directly, "Brother Zu, thank you, my father has committed such a heinous crime, and our Prince Qi Mansion is still fine, it must be because of you.
I have done a great job in the court. This little girl has no repayment for my kindness and virtue. If Brother Zu doesn’t dislike it, I am willing to sacrifice myself..."
"Ahem, that's not necessary." Zu An interrupted her hastily.
"Brother Zu, what they said is true." Zhao Xiaodie muttered, and she was indeed filled with gratitude.
I originally thought that after what happened in Zishan, even if the Prince of Qi's mansion was not confiscated and his family was exterminated, he would definitely be imprisoned or even secretly executed.
As a result, the current result is just to reduce some glory and wealth. How could it be possible if no one helps!
You must know that the Crown Princess has been fighting with Prince Qi's Mansion for so many years, so she will definitely not let go of such a good opportunity to add insult to injury.
And the queen was also a powerful figure in her early years, and her relationship with her father was not very good.
I don’t know what kind of price Brother Zu paid to help me.
Thinking of this, her eyes suddenly flashed with tears.
"As long as you don't threaten me with random things in the future." Zu An said with a smile.
Zhao Xiaodie blushed, knowing that he was referring to the time when she took Yan Xuehen and Yun Jianyue threatened him. "Brother Zu, I was in a desperate situation and had no other way to do such a stupid thing. I won't do it again in the future."
.Actually, I have figured it out these days. If I really met a cruel person, he would have secretly silenced me long ago. That means Brother Zu really helped me. You are so kind to me. This little girl has nothing to repay.
able……"
"Stop, stop, stop!" Zu An was sweating. What the hell is this woman doing? She has to promise her body as soon as she comes. After all, she is also a dignified princess. "I have other important things to deal with. You have to grievance here first."
In two days, I should be able to regain my freedom soon."
Looking at him escaping, Zhao Xiaodie stroked her face with a look of fascination, "You are so handsome even when you run away. Oh my, it seems like I was slapped hard by him again..."
Thinking of the time she was slapped by him, Zhao Xiaodie couldn't help but twist her legs, and her face had already turned red to make up for it.
…
In the sky prison, Guan Chouhai saw Zu An and couldn't help but sigh, "Did Mr. Zu come to take my life?"
Zu An sat down in front of him, "Why is Sect Master Guan so discouraged?"
"We were very high-spirited on the Purple Mountain, but unfortunately too many things happened later." Guan Chou Hai's heart surged like a tidal wave.
At first, so many masters besieged Zhao Hao, but in the end he was easily crushed by the opponent.
Later, he went to that magical secret realm and saw more powerful beings. Xuan Bajing and other sect leaders, who were usually brothers, were not easily harvested like dogs, but now they were behind bars with an uncertain future. He couldn't help but feel discouraged.
.
"Master Ancestor, I am involved in the Zishan incident alone and have nothing to do with the sect. I hope that Master Ancestor will remember the old friendship and help take care of it."
"It's like laying out the funeral arrangements." Zu An smiled, "Don't worry, this matter is over, and you will be fine. Of course, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living penalty cannot be escaped. The court should also impose corresponding punishments in the future.
, of course it should
It will be within what you can bear."
"Really?" Guan Chouhai was dumbfounded. You must know that assassinating the emperor was a major crime of treason in any dynasty. Now that the outcome is like this, even if there is some punishment, it is nothing.
"Of course it's true." Zu An smiled.
Guan Chouhai hurriedly bowed respectfully to Zu An, "Master Zu, you are so kind and virtuous. Guan and Lihen will be unforgettable in the world!"
Zu An helped him up weakly, "Sect Master Guan does not need to perform this grand ceremony. Stability is the most important thing for the imperial court now. We have lost several top masters in the past few days and can no longer withstand the turmoil."
Guan Chouhai sighed with emotion, "Master Zu shows kindness without repaying it. He is really noble and upright. Guan is really convinced by this kind of magnanimity."
Zu An had a question mark, why do their master and disciples like to speculate so much?
At this time, Guan Chouhai continued, "There were jailers talking quietly next to me before. They thought I couldn't hear them, but they didn't know that I am a grand master after all. Even if I have some restrictions, how can I be like ordinary people?"
"They were talking about how the imperial court would deal with us. They said that the Crown Princess was very angry with us for assassinating the emperor, and wanted to kill me to thank the world. At the same time, they would vigorously rectify the Taoist sect, and Lihentian would probably no longer exist in the world."
"In addition, there was a group of people later. They mentioned how much the queen and the emperor loved each other, and we killed her husband. At this time, she was also extremely angry. She told the court that our lives would be worse than death, and she took this opportunity to completely eradicate the Taoist sect.
"
After finishing speaking, he glanced at Zu An with lingering fear, "Now the Queen and Crown Princess are the most powerful in the capital, and only Mr. Zu can persuade them. How can I not thank you for such a great favor?"
Zu An "..."
Judging from his tone, it should be that Bi Linglong and Liu Ning each sent a group of people to talk to them, creating the illusion that their salvation was entirely dependent on me.
These two women are really considerate of me, but it's just too easy to smear each other...
At this time, Guan Chouhai took off a ring from his finger: "This storage ring contains the treasures I have accumulated over the years. I hope you will accept it, otherwise I will feel uneasy. When Guan returns to Queen Lihen, she will surely
Thank you very much.”
The atmosphere has been enhanced by this. If you don't accept it, you will let down the two women's intentions and arrangements.
…
After Zu An came out of the prison and returned to the academy, he walked to Jiang Luofu's yard with a thought.
He also prepared a copy of the marrow-cleansing pill he had refined for her and Ji Xiaoxi, and he happened to be free to give it to them today.
By the way, Ji Dengtu said last time that Xiao Xi went to collect medicine. Why hasn't she come back after being gone for so long? I will ask Jiang Luofu, my aunt, later.
