Zu An was so frightened that he was covered in white hair and sweat: "Why do you ask like that?"
The other women were fine, but Yan Xuehen was her master. If she found out now, she might really fall out.
We can only slowly think of ways for them to gradually accept this relationship...
As soon as this thought came out, Zu An himself smiled bitterly. To be honest, he had no hope at all for this.
"Because you are all so kind to me," Chu Chuyan looked a little confused, "Especially my master, who used to be a cold and cold person and was very strict with me. I was still a little afraid of her, but this time she suddenly changed... She has become much gentler and caring towards me.”
Zu An: "..."
Sister Yan's mentality is really not good enough, and she still claims to be too ungrateful.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and said immediately: "We are all your closest people. Is it weird to treat you well? It's weird to treat you badly, right?"
"But Master's transformation is too..." Chu Chuyan was still a little hesitant.
Zu An then explained: "It seems that we have seen too many powerful beings in unknown places before, and we narrowly escaped death several times. It seems that this experience had a great impact on her and caused some changes in her mentality. "
Chu Chuyan nodded slightly: "That's what I think. This time Master came back, I obviously felt that her strength seemed to have improved a bit, and she quickly went into seclusion. According to those in the monastery, she should be able to Take it to the next level.”
Seeing that she believed this statement, Zu An was completely relieved.
The two of them walked around the capital like this. The capital is the most prosperous city in the world. Except for a few areas, many urban areas have no curfew. This is what countless people in other places yearn for.
The two of them ate and shopped together, and Zu An felt like he had gone back to his previous life and visited the night market.
Chu Chuyan's family had been very strict since she was a child, and she was burdened with the safety of the Chu family. She had never felt so relaxed.
The cold face also turned into a smile, and he hugged Zu An's arm, his face filled with the light of happiness.
There was nothing molested by local gangsters along the way. First of all, the public security in the capital was not much better than in other places, especially what happened today. There were patrolling soldiers everywhere. Secondly, the respectable dandies in the capital were basically the same. Everyone knows Zu An and knows that this is a big evil star. Who dares to bring trouble?
In this way, the two of them went shopping until late at night before returning home with unfulfilled interests.
After returning to the Duke's Palace, the two of them sat side by side on the window sill of the room. Chu Chuyan leaned in Zu An's arms. While admiring the moonlight in the sky, the two of them talked about what happened to each other during the separation period and their feelings for each other. thoughts between.
There is endless talk between lovers, and before they knew it, in the second half of the night, the two of them fell asleep without knowing when, so they cuddled up on the window sill all night.
It wasn't until the maid got up the next day and found out that they woke up. It was also thanks to their cultivation that they were immune to the cold and heat. Otherwise, it would be strange not to get seriously ill after sitting here all night in this winter.
The clear and melodious sound of bells came from the palace, informing the officials that they were going to court today.
Zu An was not surprised by this. Something like that happened yesterday, so it would be strange not to go to court early today.
His current status also required him to go to court, so he asked Chu Chuyan to sleep for a while, after all, it was still early.
Chu Chuyan smiled and shook her head. She washed herself casually and then returned to her room to meditate.
Zu An was filled with admiration when he saw it, thinking that Chu Chuyan's cultivation talent was top-notch, but his cultivation efforts also exceeded that of most practitioners in the world.
"I will come back as soon as possible after retiring from the imperial court and accompany you to the National College." We learned during the chat last night that Chu Chuyan was entrusted by his teacher to visit To offer sacrifices to Master Jiu and give some gifts at the same time, he thought that he had not had time to meet his friends in the academy after returning to Beijing.
"I'm waiting for you." Chu Chuyan's voice was a little gentler than the usual coldness.
…
After arriving at the palace, as expected, officials in the court soon came out and proposed a thorough investigation into yesterday's attack.
In addition, some people said that they wanted to investigate the matter in Yunzhong County, because Sang Hong brought back new evidence. Of course, the killing of Sang Hong's mission also needed to be thoroughly investigated.
…
Although no one said anything about King Qi, everyone knew that the target was King Qi.
Because it was indeed wrong in the first place, it was not possible for officials from King Qi's faction to come out to refute.
After a while, an official suddenly came out and pointed out that according to the rules of the past dynasties, the vassal king had to return to his fiefdom and return to his country when he came of age. There was no reason to stay in the capital.
At the same time, he also cited the few examples in history of vassal kings staying in the capital to illustrate that this was not a blessing for the country.
Finally, it was suggested that King Qi should be allowed to return to his fiefdom, and the whole court was in an uproar.
Who doesn't know what King Qi has been fighting for all these years? Wouldn't it cost his life to let him return to his fiefdom like this?
Some uninformed middle- and lower-level officials from King Qi's faction began to criticize and argue, but as they were arguing, they suddenly came to their senses. Why didn't any of the top bosses from King Qi's faction say anything?
Everyone who can stand in the court is a smart person. It's just because of some missing information that led to errors in analysis. Now that I see this battle and connect it with what happened yesterday, everyone is gradually coming back to their senses.
The morale of the entire King Qi faction suddenly dropped, and they were almost retreating steadily.
In the end, the matter was basically settled like this. Zu An was a little surprised by this because he found that King Qi seemed to be too calm. He never organized a counterattack from the beginning to the end. Did he just accept his fate like this?
Of course, Zhao Hao's methods are also clever. None of the treacherous things he did just now were directed at King Qi. It seems that he planned to use this as a deal. If I don't pursue you for these things, you can go back to the fiefdom.
After retiring from the imperial court, Zu An went to the East Palace to perform the ritual as usual. He found an opportunity to ask Bi Linglong: "Did King Qi really accept his fate and return to the feudal country?"
"It's not that easy," said Bi Linglong, who had a delicate face and seemed to have been specially dressed today. "It's just that the situation is not good for him now. He is just dormant for the time being. I think it won't be long before he starts to fight back."
Zu An asked her what King Qi might have to counterattack, and Bi Linglong shook her head: "King Qi is far-sighted and far-sighted, which we and other juniors cannot speculate on. Master Zu, do you have anything else to report? If not, just step aside. .”
Feeling her cold tone, Zu An was startled, wondering what medicine she had taken wrong.
It seems that what happened at the Queen's place yesterday was not exposed.
He had no choice but to continue: "I have something going on at home recently, and I would like to take a few days off..."
"No." Before he could finish speaking, Bi Linglong interrupted him directly.
Zu An was also a little annoyed and stood up suddenly: "Why?"
Bi Linglong raised her head and looked at him, her expression neither sad nor happy: "The East Palace is full of things to do. As the crown prince's concubine, you went on an envoy some time ago and were away from the East Palace for a long time. You have already accumulated countless official documents. It's not easy for you to come back. So you have to take leave again?"
"I'm really busy these days. After these few days, I promise to come back and work overtime to deal with it." Zu An was a little confused. In fact, although he, the bastard, has a high position in the East Palace, the specific affairs are basically handled by the people below. , if you want to make up your mind, there is a Crown Princess on top, so why do you need him to handle the official documents personally?
"What else do you have to do, other than to accompany that woman from the Chu family," Bi Linglong said coldly, "As far as I know, you have already divorced. Now she is not your family member, so why do you need to accompany her?"
Zu An suddenly realized it and couldn't help but look at her and said with a smile: "So you are jealous."
"You bastard, how could I...how could I be jealous of you, the noble princess of the palace?" Bi Linglong looked unnatural, "Come here, bring the official documents that have been accumulated during this period to Mr. Zu."
After speaking, she stood up and left directly without giving the other party a chance to refute.
Soon Rong Mo brought a large pile of official documents and piled them in front of him, looking at him with gloating.
Zu An was also dumbfounded. He couldn't finish so much in three days and three nights, let alone one day. Chu Yan was still waiting for me at home.
