Not long after, Zu An patted Bi Linglong on the shoulder: "That's enough, I'm leaving first to avoid being discovered."
"They..." Bi Linglong looked at the two old ladies and hesitated.
"Why, you don't want me to leave." Zu An leaned close to her cheek and said with a smile.
"Bah, come on, come on!" She said with a blushing face and pushed him into the secret passage under the bed. After closing the mechanism, she looked at the lock above. She stretched out her hand to pick it up, then let go, and then picked it up again. …
Obviously he was very troubled inside.
At this time, the queen's confused voice came from outside: "Hasn't the inspection been completed after so long?"
Bi Linglong was startled, hurriedly spread the bedding again, and then replied: "It's ready."
At this time, the two old ladies came to their senses and ran over to open the door.
After the queen came in, she saw that Bi Linglong had just put on her clothes, and then looked at the two old ladies inquiringly.
The old nanny quietly nodded to her and said in a low voice: "You are still in perfect condition."
Bi Linglong, who had been eavesdropping with her ears pricked up, breathed a sigh of relief. She was really scared to death just now. That guy Zu An can always make the impossible possible.
Seeing that the task had been completed, the queen did not want to stay here any longer. She casually exchanged a few words with Bi Linglong and left with the two nuns. She wanted to go back and report the results of the investigation to the emperor.
On the other hand, Zu An came out of the secret passage and returned to the guard yard where the emperor placed him - although he had a small white sand courtyard in the palace, it was the residence of Gold Medal Eleven. As his identity could not be exposed, he was naturally placed in the guard yard. The room is most suitable.
From a distance, he saw two guards wrapped like rice dumplings knocking on his door:
"Hey, why has no one responded after knocking on the door for so long?"
"Isn't he asleep?"
Judging from the voices, they were obviously Pu Duandiao and Jiao Sigu.
"What's going on?" Another voice came. Zhu Xie Chixin happened to be passing by and couldn't help but ask after seeing their situation.
"Nothing?" Pu Duandiao replied subconsciously, then took the burnt stick and left.
"Let's go out and stretch our muscles." Jiao Siguang also replied tacitly.
"You are seriously injured. Why don't you take a good rest and wander around when you have time?" Zhu Xie snorted and was about to leave when he suddenly stopped and turned to look at the door, "Is Master Zu not inside?"
Pu Duandiao replied: "He must have fallen asleep. I just heard the young eunuchs mention that Mr. Zu was seriously injured and was already in a very bad state of mind when he was sent back."
"Really?" Zhu Xie Chixin hesitated for a moment, then knocked on the door, "Brother Zu, brother Zu, are you there?"
"It's better to go in and take a look, lest no one notices what happened to him." He said as he opened the door with his palm.
I saw Zu An lying on the bed inside, and he opened his confused acting skills: "General... Commander?"
As he was about to get up, Zhu Xie said hurriedly: "No need to be polite. I just called you outside and didn't respond. I was afraid that something might happen to you alone, so I could call the doctor over in time."
"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief, for your concern." Zu An secretly sneered. It was obvious that he was suspicious. If he hadn't come back in time, he might have been exposed at this time.
It turns out that I had a good relationship with him before. How could we be called fair-weather friends? Why is he targeting me so much now?
He thought that the other party was the emperor's most trusted subordinate, and his attitude probably reflected the emperor's attitude. It seemed that although the emperor believed my words, he still didn't like me in his heart. A man like Zhu Xie Chixin must be the first. Time to draw a clear line, lest the emperor doubt his loyalty.
Zhu Xie observed the surroundings of the room without revealing any trace, and when he saw nothing unusual, he stood up and left: "Since Brother Zu is fine, let's have a good rest. I won't disturb you."
After saying that, he stood up and left.
Pu Duandiao and Jiao Siguang stood up to see each other off. After he left, they closed the door again. Pu Duandiao came to Zu An and complained: "The commander-in-chief just did it on purpose."
Zu An smiled and said nothing.
Pu Duandiao seemed to have opened up his chatterbox and kept complaining: "We worked hard to protect the crown prince and crown princess in the secret realm, and almost lost our lives. But when we came back, what greeted us was not awards, but various interrogations. Really It’s a little chilling.”
Zu An felt a shiver in his heart. It seemed that the emperor had interrogated all relevant personnel when he came back this time, and he should also have learned from others about the battle between me and those masters.
The emperor must have thought that he was completely aware of my hidden strength at this time. Well, this was just right, making him think that everything was under control.
Jiao Siguan said coldly: "If you speak louder, it will be a big disaster if someone hears you."
"You're using a hammer. Brother Zu is not an outsider. I'm just here to talk in private." Pu Duandiao complained.
Zu An comforted: "Such a big thing happened this time, so many people died. It's time for the palace to investigate more. Speaking of which, it's great to see you again."
Pu Duandiao and Jiao Siguang also choked with sobs: "If it weren't for the ancestor brothers, our lives would have been sealed in the secret realm."
Zu An patted the two of them on the shoulders: "Based on our relationship, saying this is a big deal. If I were in danger, wouldn't you save me?"
The two of them answered in unison: "Of course I will save him!"
But he soon became discouraged: "But with your cultivation level, Brother Zu, how can it be our turn to rescue you?"
"That's not necessarily the case." Zu An couldn't help but feel particularly warm in his heart when he thought about how the two of them had subconsciously covered up their actions when they faced Zhu Xie Chixin.
At this time, Pu Duandiao hesitated to speak. He wanted to advise Zu An and the Crown Princess.
At first, in the secret realm, I clearly felt that the two of them were a little too close, but after thinking about it, I still didn't say anything. It was better to keep this kind of thing in my stomach.
Then a few people chatted casually, recalling the scene of fighting side by side, and at the same time exchanging the joy of surviving the disaster.
Suddenly, a young eunuch's shrill voice came from outside: "The Queen is here!"
Then a beautiful woman in luxurious clothes walked in gracefully.
Pu Duandiao and Jiao Siguang were startled and hurriedly stood up to salute, almost falling down.
Only Zu An continued to lie on the bed.
"You are all warriors who have made great achievements this time, so there is no need to be polite." The queen made a flat posture with a smile, but kept staring at Zu An with her beautiful eyes.
"Thank you, empress!" Pu Duandiao and Jiao Siguan were a little excited. After all, they were praised personally by the aloof empress. For a moment, they felt that the grievances they had suffered were worth it.
The queen nodded to the two of them: "I have brought some medicinal materials and supplements this time. You can take them and share them with others."
Jiao Sigun thought that the only two of the guards who participated in this operation were still alive, so who should be divided among them.
Fortunately, Pu Duandiao on the side reacted quickly and hurriedly pulled him out: "Thank you, empress. Thank you, empress."
After the two of them left the room, Jiao Siguan was dissatisfied: "Why are you pulling me out in such a hurry? I still have a lot to say to Brother Zu."
"Are you stupid? The Queen obviously wants to talk to Brother Zu, why are you still standing there?" Pu Duandiao laughed.
"I see. I didn't expect that besides the Crown Princess, even the Queen would value Brother Zu so much." Jiao Siguan looked envious.
"Shh, don't talk nonsense!"
…
While the two were gossiping, the queen on the other side asked Eunuch Lu to guard the door, while she sat beside Zu An's bed and gently touched the bandaged wound on his body with her fingers: "It was inconvenient to ask at Linglong's place before, does it hurt?"
Smelling the fragrance of a mature woman on her body, Zu An smiled and said, "It hurt at first, but after being touched by the queen a few times, it doesn't hurt anymore."
"As expected, you are still so glib." The Queen scolded with a smile, "I have brought you a lot of healing and nourishing medicine. You must take it on time to avoid any sequelae."
Zu An laughed: "Don't worry, Madam, even if there are sequelae in other places, the key places will definitely be fine."
The queen's face turned red and she secretly spat: "You guy, you're still trying to show off your strength even though your complexion is so bad. If you have the guts, come to Kunning Palace at night."

"Queen" and "come in" are normal words, but they don't work together...
