"Him?" Zu An was stunned. Someone even offered love to him? It was not even clear whether the other party was talking about a boy or a girl. Could it be Chu Chuyan, but she probably didn't have such a big face to come into contact with the emperor.
The emperor's expression suddenly became a little melancholy. He walked to the window and looked at the sky in the distance. His sharp eyes now had a hint of tenderness: "I owed her a favor back then..."
His voice was barely audible when he spoke, and his face was full of nostalgia. I don't know whether he missed the past or the person he spoke of.
Seeing his expression, Zu An immediately understood. Judging from the situation, it was obviously an old lover or something. And why did the emperor's expression look so like a licking dog?
There are still women in the world that he can't get?
Zu An's gossip soul was burning, and he was very curious about the identity of this woman. What was even more strange was that such a woman would intercede on his behalf?
When did I know such a person?
He counted the women he knew, but after much deliberation, he couldn't figure out who they were.
At this time, the emperor had turned around: "By the way, how are you doing Wanru recently?"
"Wanru?" Zu An looked confused. It took him a while to realize who he was talking about, "My mother-in-law has not been doing well recently. She has been extremely busy dealing with various crises in the Chu family in the past few days."
At the same time, there was a lot of gossip in my heart. Is Qin Wanru related to the emperor? Why do I suddenly feel that my father-in-law’s head is green?
Could it be that she was the one interceding for me?
That's wrong, she can't even protect the Chu family, how can she possibly protect me?
"Are you trying to help her fight against injustice?" The emperor snorted, "Who told her to choose to marry that guy Chu Zhongtian back then? Otherwise, if she were now a royal concubine, she wouldn't have all those messy worries."
Zu An: "..."
He was really shocked. Although he guessed that the two might have some connection, he didn't expect that Qin Wanru almost became the imperial concubine back then.
My father-in-law was really a jerk back then, and he actually succeeded in snatching a woman from the emperor. No wonder the Chu family has been so miserable in recent years.
"It's not what you think," the emperor snorted coldly, as if he had read his thoughts, "I am not the kind of person who is jealous over a woman. The main reason why I deal with the Chu family is that the Chu family is a noble of the previous dynasty. , is the leader of a large number of old nobles, and their fiefdoms and wealth are not under the control of the imperial court. They are like a country within a country, how can I tolerate it?"
"I understand." Zu An's expression was a little strange, thinking that even so, you definitely have the intention of retaliating against your love rival. Otherwise, why would you specifically target the Chu family if there were so many nobles of the same level who didn't choose? The emperor frowned, obviously not wanting to continue discussing this topic with him: "Although I promised that person to spare your life, the premise is that you must hand over the "Phoenix Nirvana Sutra", otherwise don't blame me for not remembering the friendship between old friends. "
Zu An: "..."
"Didn't you say you don't like that kind of illusory immortality?"
"For other emperors, it is illusory, but now that the "Phoenix Nirvana Sutra" is before my eyes, how can it be regarded as illusory?" the emperor sneered.
Zu An was speechless for a while. He was pretending to be open-minded just now, which made me admire him in vain.
He pretended to be hesitant: "But that's my only trump card. Who knew that handing it over wouldn't lead to death?"
The emperor said calmly: "You are not joking. I promised my old friend to spare your life and I will spare your life. Don't challenge my patience."
Zu An gritted his teeth, took out the forgiveness hat from his arms and handed it over: "The "Phoenix Nirvana Sutra" is stored in this hat in the form of spiritual thoughts. After wearing it, you can sense the specific scriptures."
He was betting that the emperor had never seen the true form of the "Phoenix Nirvana Sutra". After all, Old Man Mi silenced everyone who was with him back then, and it was even more impossible for him to report the news of the "Phoenix Nirvana Sutra" to the palace.
The great eunuch Wei Tuo sent later did not see the "Phoenix Nirvana Sutra", so the emperor could not know what the real sutra was written on.
Of course, he naturally does not have the ability to leave a mark of his soul on the forgiveness hat. Those are all Mi Li's handiwork, and only her cultivation and knowledge can create that kind of fake feeling.
After taking the forgiveness hat, he saw the green color in his eyes. The emperor frowned subconsciously and did not put it on directly.
"I heard that you also gave a green hat to Mr. Sang at the wedding of the Sang family in Mingyue City?" The emperor's expression was a little dangerous.
Zu An's head jumped. He didn't expect that the emperor even knew such details. He had to answer honestly: "It is true, but that hat is different from this hat. It is just an ordinary cuckold, but this hat records "Phoenix Nirvana Sutra".
The emperor frowned: "I still can't figure out why you gave Sang Qian a cuckold, and it also has the same shape as your most precious "Phoenix Nirvana Sutra". According to the intelligence, you and Sang Qian don't seem to have a harmonious relationship. .”
Zu An broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't expect that a joke in the past would now turn out to be a flaw: "I didn't think of anything else at the time. I just didn't want to give him any expensive gifts, so I just picked a cheap hat. It was a coincidence. It was purely a coincidence."
"Really?" The emperor sneered, "I thought cuckolding someone meant seducing the other person's wife or daughter."
Obviously with his powerful intelligence network, it is not difficult to guess the relationship between Zu An and Zheng Dan.
Zu An: "..."
How dare he admit this, otherwise the emperor would think you meant that, and even a few lives would not be enough to kill you.
You must know that the emperor's most taboo thing, besides threats to the throne, is for women in the harem to have sex with other men.
You must know that there are three thousand beauties in the harem, but there is only one emperor, and he does not have that much energy to take care of her. If you are not careful, some of the concubines will hook up with men outside because of their loneliness. Therefore, all the men serving in the harem in the past dynasties were castrated and became eunuchs.
He hurriedly explained: "That's not the intention at all. If nothing else, I can't make this hat fake."
The emperor nodded: "Humph, if I hadn't felt the mysterious Tao Yun contained in this hat, even I would be a little bit elusive. I would kill you as soon as I saw such a cuckold."
Zu An smiled apologetically and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
He secretly lamented that the things produced by the Keyboard Man system were really weird, and often had the characteristics of ignoring the level. This was the case with the "Rich Woman Happy Ball" in the past. There was such a big gap between his and Mi Li's cultivation at that time, but he was suddenly in " With the help of "Rich Woman Happy Ball", the counterattack was completed.
The same is true for the forgiveness hat now. Mi Li can still vaguely detect some mysterious rune formations on it. That's because she read a lot of books back then and had deep attainments in this area.
Although the emperor was strong, his knowledge in this aspect may not be as good as Mi Li's, so he could only feel the mysterious Tao Yun revealed in the hat, but could not see the essence.
But he knew that the material of this hat was extraordinary. Even he, let alone Zu An, could not make such a thing, so he believed it.
But how could he have expected that this guy was a jerk?
The emperor took the hat and sat back on the dragon chair. He hesitated for a while and put it on his head. With his cultivation level, he was not worried about what the other party did in the hat. The reason for hesitation was that he was worried that he would be shaken after he really knew that he would live forever. It’s just a lot of beliefs that I pursue in this life.
But the temptation of immortality was still too great. The battle with the demon clan that year had damaged his roots, so that his life span was much shorter than that of his peers. He already felt that he had only a few years left to live, but There are still a lot of things that I can’t bear to worry about.
Looking at the green hat on the emperor's head, Zu An breathed a sigh of relief. Although there were some twists and turns, everything went smoothly.
His mentality suddenly became relaxed. He was the first person in history who openly allowed the emperor to be a cuckold, right?
