Unfortunately, she couldn't show it at all. On the contrary, she could only say with a smile: "thank you for your concern. I don't have much problem with my body. I can recover with more cultivation."

The maid Rong Mo was puzzled: "eh, princess, you have more white hair. If Lord Zu can cure it, let him cure it quickly..."

Before she finished, she was stared at by Bi Linglong: "shut up!"

Rong Mo looked depressed, but he didn't dare to say that the crown princess was not right. He could only pout, stare at zu'an and mutter, "it's all this guy's fault. He can only say something beautiful, which made me misunderstand and and lose face."

"How's the prince's body?" Zu asked. After all, in front of so many people, he only cares about what the princess seems to have.

"Thanks to Lord Zu's hard guard, the prince suffered some injuries, but his life was not affected. He was frightened in the secret place. Now he has nightmares and nonsense in the middle of the night from time to time. The imperial doctor has prescribed some drugs to calm his nerves, and he should be able to recover after recuperation for a period of time." Bi Linglong responded formulaically, and took the opportunity to praise zu'an's credit, Sure enough, when others heard this, they looked at zu'an with envious eyes. At this time, she was also quite comfortable.

"It's all right." naturally, zu'an didn't really care about the prince. He thought of what he saw when he entered the palace, and then asked, "I heard that the demon clan invaded?"

"Yes," said Bi Linglong, with a dignified look. "The news just came back to Beijing last night, the demon clan broke through the northern defense line and even slaughtered the important border town Mobei city."

"Slaughtering the city?" zu'an's face was a little ugly. He had just seen such words in history books before. I didn't expect to experience them close one day.

"Yes, there are no chickens and dogs left. The demon people are really hateful!" the light of hatred flashed in Bi Linglong's eyes.

"What is the imperial court going to do?" asked zu'an.

Bilinglong replied: "In the early days, those people fought fiercely, but they were basically the main battle. Since the founding of Zhou Dynasty, we have never suffered such a big loss. It is not our character to swallow our anger. Even the students of the national college went to the gate of the palace to petition, and they were willing to go to the front line to kill the demon. However, the imperial court certainly disagreed. The blood stains of the national college are the building of the country's future Liang Zhicai, how can we let them sacrifice in the front line in advance. "

"I heard that the candidate for this expedition is likely to be Duke Cheng?" zu'an asked for confirmation.

Bi Linglong's face changed slightly and waved to let others go, but she also wanted to leave a maid Rong Mo around to show her innocence: "yes, not surprisingly, it should be Cheng Guogong. There is no more suitable candidate for the whole court in terms of fame and qualifications."

Zu'an asked tentatively, "Duke Cheng is also a good thing for the east palace."

Bi Linglong shook her head and gave him a deep look: "it may have been a good thing before, but now it may not be."

Zu'an was stunned and immediately responded that they had experienced hostility to the emperor in the secret territory, so now the emperor and the king of Qi are in the best interest of checking and balancing each other.

Rong Mo on one side looked at zu'an and Bi Linglong for a while, thinking that their words were playing riddles. Why can't I understand them.

The three had their own thoughts, and the room fell into a strange tranquility.

After a while, a maid came to report: "tell the crown princess, the Royal study sent someone to send news, and the emperor summoned Lord Zu."

Rong Mo could not help but say sadly, "Lord Zu is really deeply loved by the holy family. The emperor will summon you every three or five times."

She entered the palace and served the Crown Princess conscientiously for so many years that the Emperor didn't summon her alone.

Zuan replied, "there's no way. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility."

Rong Mo: "

I felt as if I had been offended.

Bi Linglong looked worried. Only she knew that this did not necessarily mean grace. She whispered, "be careful."

Zu'an smiled at her: "don't worry, I have to heal and recover for you. How can I be willing to have an accident in advance."

Bi Linglong spat, hooligan!

On one side, Rong Mo's face was strange. She also saw zu'an's inexplicable smile. Of course, she wouldn't think zu'an dared to flirt with the crown princess so boldly. Subconsciously, she thought it was teasing herself. She thought, did this guy covet my girl's beauty?

Hum, toad wants swan meat.

Zu'an went all the way to the imperial study. When he met father-in-law Wen, he nodded. Father-in-law Wen also smiled. However, when the other party entered the house, he quietly shook his head.

Even Zhu Xie could feel the change of the emperor's preference. As the emperor's confidant, how could he not notice the change of the emperor's attitude towards zu'an?

"I've seen the emperor!" after entering the imperial study, zu'an noticed that the emperor's face was covered with a layer of cold ice. It was obvious that he was in a bad mood.

"Sit down!" said the emperor, pointing to the stool beside him.

When Zu settled down, he was "flattered". It was the first time to be given a seat when he entered the imperial study so many times?

But he woke up immediately. If something went wrong, it was a demon.

He also served as an emperor for many years in the secret place of Yin Ruins. He immediately realized that this is a common means of emperors. Obviously, he has killed you, but instead, he has treated you with all kinds of kindness to make you careless.

Zu'an was a little puzzled. Was it the secret place that was exposed?

No, if those things were exposed, the emperor would definitely tear him up on the spot instead of playing with these empty heads.

It should be that he was in the emperor's instinct, worried about the exposure of soul division, and didn't want the survivors who passed through the secret place to survive.

And now he needs me, so he is so hypocritical.

"Are you well?" asked the emperor kindly.

Zu'an replied, "thanks to the care of all the doctors, although he has not fully recovered, he can barely move freely."

The other party is so kind that he is very cautious and flustered. On the contrary, it is more reassuring to threaten me before... Eh, this idea seems a little cheap.

"That's good," the emperor nodded. "Just now there's a task for you to do."

Zu'an thought to be sure, but the mood in his heart did not show: "I don't know what task."

The emperor said, "a few days ago, there was an incident in Prince Qi's residence. The side imperial concubine of Prince Qi drowned in the pond in the middle of the night. There are many strange things about this. Go and investigate it and give him justice."

Zu'an looks strange. He's fucking fair to the king of Qi. When have you two been so respectful to each other?

Even if it wasn't an accident to die in king Qi's residence, it must have something to do with the king of Qi. Now go to investigate this case and make it clear that it was against the king of Qi.

He said in some embarrassment, "this kind of thing should be asked by the right side. The side imperial concubine of the king of Qi has a noble status. It's not very convenient for our embroidered clothes envoys to ask."

He wanted the emperor and the king of Qi to check and balance each other, so he didn't want to run between them.

The emperor shook his head: "this time you don't use the identity of gold medal 11 to investigate the case, but use your original identity to investigate."

Zuan:

Are you kidding? Just after going through the secret place, others don't know. The king of Qi must have lost all the experts sent by Qingming, and the only survivor zu'an is the biggest suspect. Maybe he will be eliminated soon after seeing him. At this time, he went to the king's residence to investigate the case. It's the old longevity who eats arsenic - it's too long.

The emperor said faintly, "I asked you to give the fake Phoenix Nirvana Sutra to the king of Qi. How's it going?"

Zuan had a headache and said, "at present, we haven't found any suitable opportunity to give him the fake secret script."

The emperor looked at him and said, "so I'll give you this opportunity now. You will have many opportunities to contact the king of Qi when you go to the king's house to investigate the case. At that time, you must give him the fake secret script as soon as possible and reasonably."

Zu'an fell into silence. He understood why the other party was so anxious. The emperor was not so anxious in the past because he was strong enough to perfectly suppress the king of Qi, but he lost a soul in the secret realm. Although he didn't know the specific degree, it would obviously hurt his real strength. Maybe now he is not fully sure to suppress the king of Qi, That's why we need help with fake scripts.

No wonder he didn't announce the actions of Prince Qi's residence in the secret land before. It turns out that the most fundamental reason is here.

Seeing that he had been silent, the emperor's eyebrows picked: "why, is there a problem?"

Zuan looked up with a smile on his face: "no problem, I will do my best!"

It's good to be close to the king of Qi. If you want to balance the two sides, you obviously don't have enough chips on the king of Qi. Maybe you can take the opportunity to improve your relationship with the king of Qi this time.

When the emperor frowned, he always felt that the other party's smile was strange. For the first time, he had an unpredictable feeling.

He shook his head. I think it should be an illusion. The little gangster's life and death control is between my thoughts. It's not so profound: "OK, you step down and act as soon as possible."
