Seeing that the queen had calmed down, the originally aggressive Eunuch Lu retreated back, and soon he was hidden in the darkness, as if he didn't exist from the beginning to the end.
Because he had previously speculated about his relationship with the queen, Zu An couldn't help but take another look, and happened to see him secretly looking at the queen behind the bead curtain. His eyes were no longer as cruel as before, but full of tenderness.
It's a pity that the queen didn't take a second look at him.
Zu An wished he could escape and eat it. These two things were really problematic, but at the moment, it seemed that it was Eunuch Lu who did it unilaterally?
Speaking of which, this guy is really stupid. Even if he likes someone, he doesn't know how to sacrifice his own Jill, right?
Even if a woman loves you again, if you don't even have Jill, what's the point of loving her deeply? No wonder the queen doesn't even look at him.
Eunuch Lu looked away and found Zu An staring at him. He couldn't help but feel a little confused. Why was this guy's eyes full of sympathy?
At this time, the queen smiled and asked again: "I heard that something happened in the East Palace today?"
"Yes, another prince, Shi Kun, accidentally injured his vitals while playing games. As a result, the hospital failed to save him and unfortunately died young." Zu An said with a look of regret. He admired himself more and more. Now, he is just like those old foxes in politics, always telling lies.
"Placing the responsibility on the Imperial Hospital is a smart idea." The Queen chuckled lightly, "I guess it was the Crown Princess who taught you to say this, right?"
"This is indeed a fact. No one needs to teach her." Zu An was a little confused about her attitude and did not dare to tell the truth for a while.
The queen glanced at him in surprise: "I thought you were a slippery guy, but I didn't expect you have a bit of character."
"Thank you for the compliment, Queen." Zu An looked depressed. Why did his words sound like a curse? Forget it, you have a big butt... Uh, no, you have a big official. You have a reason.
"You and the prince have met more than once. What do you think of the prince?" the queen asked softly.
Zu An was not surprised as to why she knew that she had met the prince several times. As a queen, it would be a failure if she didn't know this little thing that happened in the palace: "The prince is simple and has the style of ancient times."
The queen snorted: "You are using your answer to the emperor to deal with me again? Tell the truth."
Zu An: "..."
To tell the truth, the prince is a big idiot and a mentally retarded imbecile, but can you accept it?
Even if you don't blame me after saying this, how can I still hang out in the palace in the future?
However, he had to answer the question in front of him. Suddenly something moved in his heart and he said hurriedly: "Although the prince's qualifications are average, with the help of a wise wife like the prince, there must be no big problem."
It is said that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are natural enemies. Just now you specifically mentioned the crown princess. I guess their relationship will not be much better.
As expected, when hearing the Crown Princess, the Queen frowned subconsciously: "Linglong's abilities are excellent, but unfortunately she is too strong. The Crown Prince may become a puppet in her hands in the future."
Zu An blinked, "Queen, you and I have just met, wouldn't it be bad to have such a casual conversation?" Or maybe your resentment towards your daughter-in-law has become so strong that you can't bear it anymore.
"Why am I telling you all this?" the queen laughed at herself, "you won't tell the princess after you go back, right?"
Zu An immediately said: "Did the queen say something? Why didn't I hear it at all?"
Queen: "..."
Eunuch Lu on the side couldn't help but look sideways, there was such a shameless person in the world.
"You are a smart man," the Queen sighed, "It doesn't matter whether you say this or not, she already knows it anyway."
Zu An fell into deep thought. On the surface, the King of Qi and the Crown Prince were competing for the throne. The Queen and the Crown Princess should be in the same camp. However, because the Queen was not the Crown Prince's biological mother, even if the Crown Prince ascended to the throne of God as he wished in the future, her situation would be a bit embarrassing.
The princess represents the interests of the Bi family, and the queen represents the interests of the Liu family. There will probably be some conflict between the two groups.
It would be fine if the Crown Princess was also a gentle person, but if the Crown Princess has a strong personality, then as the Queen Mother, she might be on pins and needles.
Now she is telling me this specifically to win over me? After all, I now belong to the people around the prince.
"Don't think too much," the queen looked at him deeply, "you just need to do your job well, protect the prince well, and urge the prince to study. Don't act like you did today."
Zu An bowed: "Yes."
"By the way, does the Phoenix Nirvana Sutra really lead to immortality?" the queen suddenly asked.
Zu An felt a shiver in his heart. He must have been talking here and there to deceive her. This was the purpose of her coming to him: "The emperor has announced to the world that there is no immortality in the world."
The queen smiled half-heartedly: "You and I both know that the emperor said that deliberately in order to calm the people of the world, so I asked you personally."
Zu An replied: "I have dedicated the "Phoenix Nirvana Sutra" to the emperor. If the queen is curious, why not ask the emperor to take a look?"
After hearing his words, the queen looked a little dazed. In fact, it was not that she had never asked the emperor. Unfortunately, he told him that the scriptures were stored in the form of spiritual thoughts and could only be read three times. Eunuch Mi read them once and Zu An read them again. The emperor read it once, but the scriptures had completely disappeared and could not be shown to her.
She just assumed that the other party was deliberately making excuses and stopped asking. Unfortunately, she didn't know that Zu An's "forgiveness hat" was a disposable item. After use, it turned into an ordinary hat with the god engraved on it. The thought also dissipated. In order to explain this, Zu An came up with three restrictions, but the emperor was able to deal with it. Unexpectedly, he also deceived the queen this time.
Seeing that she was distracted, Eunuch Lu on the side shouted on her behalf: "When the queen asks you, just answer. I'm going to push back and forth here. Is it you who asks the queen or the queen who asks you?"
Zu An secretly curled his lips, licking dogs is really awesome, but it’s a pity that you can’t get them no matter how much you lick them: “Practice "Phoenix"
"The Phoenix Nirvana Sutra" cannot make people live forever, otherwise the emperor would never let me go. "
The queen nodded slightly. In fact, this was what she guessed: "Well, I won't ask you this anymore. I'll ask another question, where did Wei Wei go?"
Zu An's head jumped and he said hurriedly: "I don't know what your Majesty means? Who is this Wei Tuo and why do you ask me?"
The queen said calmly: "Eunuch Wei served in Kunning Palace for several years in his early years and took great care of me. Later he was transferred to the emperor. The emperor does not miss his old relationship, but I can't do that. I have to ask for it after all."
"In the past, Eunuch Mi defected with the "Phoenix Nirvana Sutra" and there was no news until we got information a few days ago that he seemed to be in Mingyue City. Then the emperor sent Wei Wei to capture Eunuch Mi and get back the "Phoenix Nirvana Sutra" at the same time. , now Eunuch Mi and Wei Wei are both missing, and then the "Phoenix Nirvana Sutra" is in your possession, who else to ask if not you?"
Zu An smiled bitterly and said, "Does the Queen think that I killed him? Although I have not been in the capital for a long time, I have already heard many people mention that Eunuch Wei is a great master and a great master. How could I possibly kill him?"
"Don't you deny knowing him now?" The queen snorted, "Although your cultivation level is not as good as Wei Wei's, you can definitely take advantage of the situation when both he and Eunuch Mi are harmed to plot against him, and then kill people to seize the treasure."
Zu An said: "The queen overestimates me. Both of them are masters. No matter how weak they are, they are definitely not something I can deal with. The reason why I have the "Phoenix Nirvana Sutra" is because Eunuch Mi gave it to her before he died. mine."
Eunuch Lu on the side let out a sigh, obviously a little surprised.
The queen couldn't help but ask: "From what you said, it seems that Old Man Mi killed Wei Wei? But how is this possible? Wei Wei's cultivation level is higher than that of Old Man Mi."
Zu An said: "Could it be that the Queen has forgotten the "Phoenix Nirvana Sutra" that Old Man Mi has been practicing for decades? He is no longer what he used to be. It's just that Wei Wei's cultivation level is really high. Although he killed Wei Wei, he was defeated by the opponent. The counterattack before his death caused the death of both of us, because Old Man Mi and I had spent some time together in the Chu family, and to a certain extent we could be considered old friends, and he only passed the things to me before he died."
What he said was 90% true and false. In fact, he was not afraid that they would know what happened that day. Anyway, everyone knew that he knew the "Phoenix Nirvana Sutra". As long as the secret of old man Mi's attempt to seize him but his failure was not exposed, that would be fine.
But whatever you are afraid of comes, Eunuch Lu snorted coldly: "Nonsense, Mi Lianying is sinister and cunning by nature. Even when she is dying, she will only take the "Phoenix Nirvana Sutra" into the coffin so that no one can get it. How can it help others?"
Zu An couldn't help but sigh, it turns out that only the eunuch knows the eunuch best. This guy can be regarded as old man Mi's confidant, and he understands that the other person cannot be so great.
He was thinking about how to explain when suddenly an alarm sounded outside: "There is an assassin!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several rays of black light penetrated directly through the door and window and shot toward the queen inside.
