Zu An didn't panic at all, he just looked at the other party with a smile.
Soon a group of wolf-like guards broke in to arrest him. King Qi frowned, but finally waved his hand to signal them to leave: "You don't seem afraid?"
Zu An smiled: "Why should you be afraid? I have been ordered to investigate the case. If the prince kills me, I am afraid that I am not going to openly rebel. In that case, even the ministers in the court who support the prince will have no choice but to distance themselves from you."
King Qi snorted: "If I want to kill you, why should I do it myself? I will pass on what you just said to the emperor, saying that if you instigate feelings between our brothers, the emperor will kill you."
Zu An sighed: "I won't recognize what I just said outside this room. When the time comes, I will tell the emperor that you deliberately framed me because I found out the truth about the drowning case of the concubine. Guess
Who will the emperor trust? Is the relationship between you brothers reliable?"
King Qi was startled at first, and then laughed: "Haha, you are indeed shameless. I appreciate this in you."
Zu An also breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was very sure that the other party would not fall out, who knows if he would make any stupid move on impulse: "Your Majesty is a smart man, I won't beat around the bush, I don't want to
Following Sanghong's footsteps, that's why we came to form an alliance with the prince, so that we can exchange our needs and gain benefits for both parties."
“If you really want to form an alliance, why do you have to go to the emperor to report the case later?” King Qi sneered.
Zu An sighed: "The prince should know how suspicious our emperor is, and he gave me a death order before. If the truth is not found out, he will be sent into exile. I have no choice but to inform the prince in advance.
, with the prince’s methods, I think he can resolve it freely.”
“You are indeed a smart man, no wonder you can live for so long.” King Qi sighed, “It’s okay, I, the king, approve of you as an ally!”
Zu An smiled slightly: "I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation in the future!"
"Happy cooperation!" King Qi's eyes flashed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
After Zu An left, Princess Qi walked out of a secret room behind the bookshelf: "My lord, did you believe him so easily?"
The smile on King Qi’s face just now has long since disappeared: “Believe it? It’s not that easy.”
"Could it be that the emperor sent him to get close to us on purpose?" Princess Qi frowned and said, "Why don't we secretly find someone to give the emperor a sneak peek and see what the reaction is?"
“No,” King Qi shook his head. “If the other party really tries to exploit the enemy, I will inform the emperor and end up losing a useful chess piece.”
“But what if he has ulterior motives?” Princess Qi asked worriedly.
King Qi smiled: "If he wants to win my trust, he can't just rely on words. I will find an opportunity for him to surrender his name. Once he starts, he will fall into it step by step, and in the end he will never be able to do it again."
Thief...ahem, you can never get off the boat again."
Princess Qi breathed a sigh of relief: "But I don't like this person. I feel very uncomfortable when I think that he may become your minister in the future. Zhi'er's leg was broken by him last time and he hasn't even done it yet."
full recovery!"
King Qi said coldly: "Don't worry, I am just using him. When he is no longer useful, I will let him know the price of being arrogant against Zhi'er."
Princess Qi then smiled and said: "Your Majesty is indeed far-sighted."
…
Zu An came all the way to the palace. He was in a particularly good mood today. The case was solved. He spent a wonderful night with Zheng Dan last night. He officially got in touch with King Qi this morning. The future is bright.
As for whether King Qi betrayed the emperor and told the emperor, he was not worried at all. Anyway, he shouldered the emperor's task of giving the fake secret book to King Qi. When the time came, he said that he was doing this purely to deceive King Qi's trust. How could the emperor say anything.
As for King Qi himself, he did not choose to believe that everyone was just using each other, and that the emperor's fake secret book was the final gift he had prepared for him.
After entering the palace, the emperor had already gone to court. Naturally, Zu An would not be stupid enough to wait outside the imperial study room, but went directly to the East Palace.
First he ran to pay homage to the crown prince. When the fat man saw Zu An, he pulled him into playing various games. Finally, he sent him away to come and pay his respects to the crown princess.
"It turns out it's Master Zu. It's the first time he's come to the East Palace in so many days. It seems that after being promoted to Viscount, the noble man is very busy." Bi Linglong was sitting at the table, holding her sleeves with one hand and writing something on the desk with the other hand.
It looked like he was drawing, and he didn't even raise his eyes when he spoke.
The maid Rong Mo on the side looked at her in surprise. You must know that the Crown Princess has always been generous and decent in her daily life, and she is even more kind and powerful to her subordinates. She has never shown her face to anyone like she did today.
Hmph, it’s true that this guy Zu An is so annoying.
Feeling the deep resentment in her tone, Zu An wondered if she was blaming me for not coming to see her these days?
However, in front of so many people, he couldn't ask questions, so he had to explain: "During this period, the emperor ordered me to investigate the matter of the king's concubine falling into the water..."
Bi Linglong interrupted her directly: "Oh, I almost forgot, Mr. Zu is now the popular person in front of the emperor."
Rong Mo also stared at Zu An with wide eyes. This guy actually used the emperor to suppress the princess. What a nuisance.
Zu An was speechless for a while, thinking that if others don't know, you don't know, how could I be with the emperor?
He coughed slightly and said: "The main reason is that I thought I could vent my anger on the Crown Princess, so I forgot about food and sleep, and didn't dare to delay. In the end, I found something."
Bi Linglong finally raised her head, with a hint of curiosity in her beautiful big eyes: "What did you find out?"
Zu An hesitated to speak and looked around: "It has something to do with King Qi. This matter is confidential..."
The implication is very clear, the Dharma is not transmitted to the six ears.
Bi Linglong waved her hand: "Momo, you go down first."
On normal days, it would be really inconvenient for her to be with Zu An in private, but now she has a good reason, and it won't matter even if it reaches the ears of the emperor.
Rong Mo puffed out his cheeks and went out with a depressed look on his face. He thought to himself that the Crown Princess had really changed and that my personal maid could not listen to her words. She felt that she was closer to Zu An.
Thinking of this, she was horrified: That flatterer actually came to compete with me for favor?
She did not doubt anything else. After all, it was too unbelievable for the Crown Princess to have a romantic relationship with someone else.
After the door was closed, Bi Linglong asked: "What on earth...ah..."
With a snapping sound, her face turned red, she hurriedly suppressed her exclamation, and turned back to glare at the other party angrily: "What are you doing!"
Zu An retracted his hand: "Who asked you to deliberately make things difficult for me? You know that I can't be with the emperor..."
After all, in the palace now, there is still no need to say many things too clearly.
Bi Linglong had a serious face: "As I said before, after we come out of the secret realm, we will return to the past. Don't be rude to me..."
Before she could finish speaking, Zu An hugged her into his arms, and her red lips were blocked.
Bi Linglong didn't expect him to be so bold. She was shy and afraid, and subconsciously wanted to push him away. Unfortunately, the other person's hand was like an iron hoop. She tried several times and couldn't push him away, so she had no choice but to give up.
This guy is too strong!
She had always followed the rules and observed all kinds of palace etiquette, but now she had an unprecedented novel experience.
She thought about the two people in the secret realm, and her heart filled with sweetness. She slowly closed her eyes and began to respond to each other tenderly.
Suddenly she sniffed, opened her eyes in an instant, and pushed him away fiercely, with a thin layer of frost covering her pretty face: "Master Zu just came out of someone else's gentle country and came to entertain me. When
Who am I!"
The anger value from Bi Linglong is +444+444+444……
