Zhao An accompanied King Ning into the imperial study.
The empress was obviously surprised when she saw the two of them together, but she quickly returned to her usual calmness.
King Ning knelt down and paid homage.
The empress smiled and said, "Uncle, there is no need to be polite. It's a rare time for you to come here. You should have a good conversation with me."
Zhao An waved his hand to Huang Zhong, and fragrant tea was immediately delivered.
When the empress faced Prince Ning, she still maintained the majesty of an emperor. On the contrary, Prince Ning looked reserved, as if he didn't come here often. Zhao An felt embarrassed by the unfamiliarity.
As expected, when Prince Ning talked about the tiger coming down the mountain, he knelt down again and lowered his head to explain.
He has several beast parks, and every once in a while, a beast will die in a fight, and the body will be sent away by a designated person.
During this period of time, he did not investigate in detail. After this incident, he looked again and found that there were too many injuries. Most of them were servants with evil intentions. He was about to arrest them and torture them, but he didn't want them to die in fear of crime.
"Suicide?"
The empress shook the tea cup, her clear eyes filled with a cold light.
Zhao An also felt that it was too much of a coincidence. Unfortunately, there was no proof, and forcing blame would not help. Furthermore, the empress never held anyone accountable because she and Chen Guogong both got what they wanted, and the two sides let go of the matter in a tacit understanding.
"I know in my heart that I have made a big mistake, but I still ask your Majesty to punish me."
Prince Ning kowtowed and spoke sincerely.
The empress sighed; "This matter has passed. Your Majesty did not do it on purpose, but you must be careful when employing people in the future to avoid being caught."
"I thank your Majesty. I want to go to Tianshui Court to pay a visit to Mr. Cui and Mr. Zhou. I would also like to ask your Majesty to order Eunuch Zhao to send me there and introduce them to you."
King Ning borrowed the donkey from Poxia to make his request.
The empress got stuck on the spot.
She realized that something was wrong with Prince Ning and was about to refuse. Zhao An secretly shook his head and signaled her to agree.
For a long time, he has been using two identities, inside and outside the palace, and anyone who is interested will find the problem.
When Zhou Huang is there, Zhao An is not there; when Zhao An is there, Zhou Huang is not there.
If he shirks the blame, it will inevitably make Prince Ning suspicious.
The empress had no choice but to nod in agreement.
In this way, Zhao An accepted the order and accompanied King Ning out of the palace.
After leaving the palace, King Ning asked: "Eunuch Zhao, the mistakes I made have caused a lot of trouble for Your Majesty, right?"
"My lord, don't think too much. You are His Majesty's uncle. No matter what happens, Your Majesty will protect your Majesty." Zhao An helped the empress to favor him seriously. Prince Ning sighed: "It's all my fault for being careless and knowingly raising a tiger. If you insist on hurting others, I will deal with those beasts when I turn around."
What he said didn't sound right, it was a bit of an insinuation.
Tianshuiyuan is right in front of you.
It was the first time that Zhao An came here as a eunuch, and he was scratched all over. He didn't know what Xu Ruqing's reaction was when he saw the eunuch.
Prince Ning arrived, and everyone in the palace, except for the disciples who had gone to the Imperial Academy to teach, came out to greet him. Unfortunately, Cui Wengong and Chu Liuyun were not there, only Xu Ruqing and a few disciples.
Xu Ruqing is a guest, but because of her fame, when people mention Tianshuiyuan, the first thing they think of is Cui Wengong and her. Now that Cui Wengong and Chu Liuyun are not at home, she has almost become the hostess here.
"His Royal Highness Prince Ning is here, and he is welcome from afar."
Xu Ruqing is worthy of being the most talented woman. Faced with Prince Ning's visit, she behaves generously and looks like a fairy who doesn't eat the fireworks of the world.
"Miss Xu is just like the rumors, she is like a fairy coming to earth."
Prince Ning marveled in admiration, making no secret of his appreciation.
The two were exchanging business blows, but Zhao An'an was not interested. He subconsciously looked up while thinking, and saw Jiuyin standing behind Xu Ruqing, staring straight at him.
Her eyes were calm and calm, as if her sword could penetrate people's hearts.
Zhao An was startled and quickly avoided eye contact.
Xu Ruqing followed her gaze and looked over, surprised: "Eunuch Zhao is here too."
Last time, Zhao An accompanied the queen to visit Tianshuiyuan, and the two met once.
Zhao An forced a smile and made a gesture of invitation to Prince Ning.
Don't dare to talk nonsense now, because when you are walking outside as Zhou Huang, even though your voice is disguised, if you talk too much, it may not be exposed in the ears of a warrior.
Fortunately, Xu Ruqing focused all his attention on Prince Ning.
Many talented people and beauties have arrived today. Prince Ning can come and sit there.
Prince Ning whispered: "I want to have fun with the people. Please help Miss Xu not to reveal her identity. Just treat me as a disciple of the Holy Sect."
Xu Ruqing smiled sweetly and led him to the literary club.
It's hard for Zhao An to get over. After all, a eunuch appearing rashly will cause a commotion no matter what.
After watching the two of them enter, he planned to run away, but when he turned around, he saw Jiuyin holding his sword and coldly blocking the way.
"Ahem, is there something wrong with Miss Jiuyin?"
"Eunuch Zhao, I heard that you are a famous person around the emperor?"
"Your Majesty is just showing mercy."
"I also heard that the eunuchs in the palace are very powerful. They are the top masters in the world. Today, I finally bumped into a high eunuch in front of the emperor. I asked Eunuch Zhao to give me some advice."
Jiuyin let go of his hands and held the scabbard tightly.
Zhao An stood on his head with hair on his head.
This woman must be poisonous!
Who told her that the eunuchs in the palace were very powerful? Rumors can harm people!
"What? Eunuch Zhao looks down on us Jianghu people and doesn't bother to take action?"
"Girl, you misunderstood. Look at the Zajia's small arms and legs. They don't know martial arts. Girls, please don't make things difficult for the Zajia."
Zhao An wanted to run away around her.
Zheng!
The sharp sword was unsheathed for a foot, blocking his throat, and Zhao An almost hit him.
sky! Sarilang!
Who cares about this crazy bitch!
"Eunuch Zhao, if you refuse to teach me, I will only offend you."
Jiuyin Wuzhen, his body swayed like a nimble rock sparrow, landed under a big tree ten feet away, drew out his long sword, and dropped the scabbard.
The strong wind blew, and her long hair and clothes tumbled, making her look heroic, beautiful and sassy.
Zhao An felt annoyed, squeezed the whisk skin tightly and smiled, "As expected of the famous Murderous Fairy, she is so beautiful."
"Filthy words, watch your moves."
Jiuyin twisted Hao's wrist and attacked with his sword.
Zhao An felt his adrenaline surge and retreated quickly, completely unaware that his feet were not touching the ground, as fast as a dragonfly touching water.
Jiuyin was overjoyed, "It's really strong, but you can't escape!"
"Nima, crazy criticism!"
Zhao An felt numb and was forced to the backyard by her sword.
Queer, who was standing at the door basking in the sun in the distance, with gauze still hanging on his arm, was frightened when he saw this scene and quickly shouted to stop.
Hearing this, Jiuyin sheathed her sword and frowned, "Is your injury healed?"
Que'er stumbled over and saw that it was indeed Zhao An. He hurriedly blocked in front of him, raised his pretty face and said angrily: "Jiuyin, you want to rebel, this is the chief manager of the imperial palace, if he is under your majesty's command, If you complain in front of me, you will kill us all.”
Hey, if she didn't remind him of this, Zhao An almost forgot that he could still intimidate Jiuyin.
Look what's going on!
