The princess's face changed slightly: "What do you mean!"
At this time, Zu An said: "She didn't lie. Things happened suddenly that day, and there was something I didn't have time to tell you."
"At that time in that house, you and I were in such a... situation, and everyone was a little scared and at a loss. At this time, I heard a woman's voice reminding us to run quickly. In addition, she also helped us stop those who came to arrest the rapists...
...Ahem, hold on to that person for a moment, otherwise we will have been defeated on the spot by the mastermind behind the scenes."
"The situation was so urgent that I didn't hear clearly who the woman was. Just now, I heard the woman's voice again," he said, looking at Concubine Bai. "It turned out to be Concubine Bai."
The Crown Princess's pupils shrank, and she looked at Concubine Bai suddenly: "You have such a high level of cultivation, what are your intentions in approaching the Crown Prince?"
Concubine Bai said calmly: "Prince Concubine, please don't forget that I was sent to the Prince by the Emperor. I am close to the Prince, firstly to serve him, and secondly, of course to protect him."
Zu An secretly cried out that it was a pity, how could that fat guy He De be served by such a charming and beautiful woman?
But his heart suddenly skipped a beat. Wait, this woman was sent by the emperor. Doesn’t that mean that the emperor also knows about the matter between me and the crown princess?
The princess's face suddenly turned pale, and it was obvious that the two of them wanted to go together.
Concubine Bai noticed the expressions of the two of them and couldn't help but smile: "You two really hit it off, even the way of thinking is so similar. Don't worry, I didn't report your affairs to the emperor, otherwise you wouldn't be able to get here safely.
"
The Crown Princess' face turned cold: "Are you blackmailing me?"
Concubine Bai shook her head: "It's not a threat, it's just that we are grasshoppers on the same rope. Now the King of Qi is using endless methods against the prince, and the prince's big test will soon come. What's the point of us sisters fighting here?
?The top priority is to stabilize the crown prince’s position and figure out how to deal with this big exam.”
The Crown Princess stared at her closely, and just when Zu An thought she would explode, her solemn face suddenly turned into a warm spring breeze: "I didn't expect that Sister Bai Fei would do so much for me. Before, I was too strong.
As for my sister who is offended sometimes, I hope she will not take it personally. From now on, we sisters will work together to help the prince ascend to the throne."
Concubine Bai also returned to her usual timid and shy smile: "In the future, I will have to trouble my sister more for guidance. I will always follow my sister's lead."
Although strictly speaking, Concubine Bai is older than the Crown Princess, but the Crown Princess is the official palace after all, so her calling her sister is not unfair.
Zu An on the side was dumbfounded. The two women who were at odds a second ago were now like sisters. This change was too big.
This moment made him a little suspicious of life. Judging from this situation, my confidante will not be trustworthy in the future, no matter how close they appear to each other. After a while, Zu An felt that the two of them were still acting like sisters.
Unable to bear it anymore, he coughed slightly and interrupted the show of acting skills of the two movie queens: "White Concubine, Xinrui must have gone back to her parents' home, right?"
Concubine Bai also put away her formulaic smile: "Yes, after that day, Xin Rui disappeared without a trace. I suspect that she is not missing, but has been silenced by the mastermind behind the scenes."
The Crown Princess opened her mouth, but there was a hint of hesitation on her face, and she finally refrained from speaking.
Zu An guessed her thoughts and asked helpfully: "Xinrui is the empress's personal maid after all, why was she bribed by others?"
The Crown Princess glanced at him approvingly, this guy actually understands me.
For some reason, the scene of the two kissing appeared in her mind again, and her face suddenly turned red. She quickly gathered her mind and expelled those messy images from her mind.
Concubine Bai sighed faintly: "This is also something that I can't understand. Logically speaking, Xinrui's temperament has always been a bit weak. I still can't believe that she would do such a thing."
"After thinking about it, it seems that I have been living in seclusion these years and ignored the thoughts of my subordinates, which led to her being seduced by some people with ulterior motives."
"Could it be Shi Jun?" Zu An asked.
One of the people who came to arrest him and the Crown Princess was Shi Jun. As a minister of Huangmen, he could usually come in and out of the palace at will, so it was very possible for him to hook up with Xin Rui.
Concubine Bai shook her head: "I don't know about this."
Zu An and the Crown Princess looked at each other and it seemed necessary to investigate this clue.
The Crown Princess finally spoke: "That day... when did you come here that day? I... I..."
For a moment she was embarrassed to continue speaking.
Concubine Bai smiled understandingly: "Sister, don't worry, this matter is a catastrophe for the Nine Clans, and Xinrui doesn't dare to do it to others. She was the one who took care of these things that day. I also realized her abnormality, and followed her
When I came over to take a look, I happened to stop Shi Jun's group, so my sister's appearance was not seen by others..."
She suddenly paused as she spoke, her eyes resting on Zu An, her expression half-smiling.
The meaning is also very obvious, except him, you have not been seen by other men.
But the matter was too sensitive, and it was hard for her to speak out and touch the other person's nerves.
The shy look on the Crown Princess's face flashed away, and she soon returned to her usual aloofness: "By the way, Mr. Zu was almost silenced in the sky prison. Does Concubine Bai have any clues?"
Concubine Bai shook her head: "I usually don't care about world affairs, so how can I know these things."
The princess had no choice but to ask again: "What kind of family does that maid of yours have?"
Obviously she planned to start the investigation from this angle. Concubine Bai thought for a while and replied with some uncertainty: "Her father seems to have died young, and she has been dependent on her mother since she was a child. By the way, she seems to have a younger brother. I don't know the rest.
Yes, we have to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to check the specific information."
The Crown Princess asked some more questions, but Concubine Bai didn't know most of them. She did look like a silly Baitian who lived in the palace all year round. But after what happened this time, who would dare to really regard her as a silly Baitian?
sweet.
After leaving the Palace of Flowers, the Crown Princess motioned to those under her command to stay away while she and Zu An walked in front to talk alone.
A hint of resentment flashed in Rong Mo's eyes, this male vixen was getting better and better at competing for favor.
Pu Duandiao and Jiao Siguan looked at each other, and both saw a trace of worry in each other's eyes. Brother Zu and the Crown Princess were too close. Didn't they both know how to avoid suspicion because of the rumors that just happened?
They pricked up their ears at the same time, wanting to hear what the two of them were talking about.
As the two chief guards of the East Palace, they also shoulder the responsibility of surveillance. If the foreign minister really hooks up with the female family members of the East Palace, they will also be implicated.
They thought that if the two of them were really ambiguous, they must remind Brother Zu as soon as possible not to make mistakes. Although the Crown Princess is beautiful, you can't help it.
But they soon breathed a sigh of relief, because the two of them were chatting about normal topics, just like the Crown Princess chatting with other East Palace ministers.
At this time, the two people walking in front were casually chatting about some high-sounding topics while quietly transmitting their voice: "Princess, let's start with Xinrui's family background and see if we can find out anything."
The Crown Princess replied: "Most of it has been dealt with long ago, and nothing can be found through the investigation. But you can give it a try. Your mind is always sharp. See if you can find anything."
Zu An nodded: "By the way, what do you think of Concubine Bai?"
"White Concubine?" The Crown Princess sneered, "Look for an opportunity and deal with her quietly."
Zu An: "???"
One moment you two were loving each other as sisters, but the next second you were murderous.
He couldn't help but said: "Isn't it time to be consistent with the outside world now? People have also expressed goodwill to you. Isn't it inappropriate to do so?"
"It seems that you were really confused by the charming and pitiful look of that foxy girl," the Crown Princess glared at her, "This is just a delaying tactic by that woman. She has such a big handle on us. As long as the Crown Prince takes this big exam,
As soon as the incident comes to light, she will expose us and replace me as the new crown princess. How can I let her do so!"
