His mood has just gotten better, but only a little better, I can still feel his suppressed anger."

Zu Anxin wondered if he could not be angry, but his soul was destroyed in a secret realm for no apparent reason, and his lifelong plan to live forever came to nothing.

"Other than that? Has anything else happened in the capital?" Zu An then asked.

"Your matter is the biggest thing." The queen was a little confused as to why he was entangled in this issue, but she still thought about it and replied, "Besides, our people in the back of the academy have had many conflicts with people from Prince Qi's mansion.

There was a conflict between people, and Zhu Xie's sincerity was absent, so many people were killed and injured. The young master of the Chu family was there all day long asking for his brother-in-law, acting like a woman. No wonder the Chu family was in decline, as a whole.

The yin is rising and the yang is declining; the former chief minister, Nong Sanghong, and his family have returned to Beijing. The emperor trusted him very much at the beginning, and has often consulted with him recently..."

She talked about several things that happened in the capital during this period, and each of them was indeed not worth mentioning compared to what happened in the secret realm.

But Zu An's heart moved: "Sang Hong is back."

A bright and pretty face suddenly appeared in his mind. Could it be that Zheng Dan has also returned to Beijing?

"I almost forgot that you two had a grudge in the past," the queen laughed, "Sang Hong did a lot of dirty things for the emperor in the past few years. I guess it was retribution, and he did so badly. But this is not necessarily a bad thing.

In the past, when he was a lonely minister, everyone wanted to get rid of him quickly, but now that he is gone, there is no threat. In addition, he has a beautiful daughter and a beautiful widowed daughter-in-law, so many people beat them.

idea."

"Sang Hong is the emperor's confidant after all. He seems to be making a comeback recently. How dare those people do this?" Zu An was a little confused.

The queen explained: "The Sang family, who came from a poor family, originally lacked a lot of background than other big families. The last time they failed to run an errand in Mingyue City, the Sang family suffered a devastating blow. And for some reason, the Sang family has been struggling for many years.

The warriors I raised seem to have disappeared overnight. Without these powers, how can the noble families in the capital be afraid of the Sang family?"

"Many people in the capital now believe that Sang Hong also acquiesced. They wish that their daughter would marry a wealthy family and restore the Sang family's former glory."

"It's a pity that those aristocratic families are not stupid. Sang Hong's daughter's family background is too poor. In addition, the Sang family has had too many enemies in the past. No one wants to marry the Sang family lady as their official wife. They just covet the other party's beauty. They are crazy about it.

It would be nice to have a concubine. The reason why many people are so interested in it is because they want to buy one and get one free. After all, the widowed daughter-in-law of the Sang family is an out-and-out beauty."

Zu An snorted coldly: "You don't have to say this to test me. The Sang family and I were both prisoners when we went to Beijing together. We also made some friendships on the way. Of course I will help if I can."

"Tch, I'm afraid you are also trying to be eclectic." The queen sneered. Men are not good things anyway.

"You're thinking too much. How could the Sang family let those little bastards succeed? It's even more impossible for a gentleman like me to have such thoughts." Zu An said sternly.

"Are you a gentleman?" The queen looked strange and had the urge to spray him in the face.

"Ahem," Zu An felt guilty and hurriedly changed the subject, "Did anything else happen?"

The Queen spoke slowly: "Yes, a strange thing happened in Prince Qi's Mansion..."

Zu An waited for a long time but she still had nothing to say, so he couldn't help but ask: "Where's the next one?"

The queen pursed her lips and smiled: "Let me tell you a story first."

Zu An was a little confused as to what story she was telling at this time, but he still listened patiently.

"Once upon a time, there was a male pigeon and a female pigeon on a branch, and a sheep was grazing below. Not long after, a big bad wolf came and ate the sheep. Guess what the female pigeon said to the male pigeon?"

The queen's eyes flickered, and her eyes were inexplicably charming.

Zu An vaguely remembered where he had heard this story, and answered uncertainly: "The sheep down there are dead?"

"Yes, down there...the sheep...is dead." The queen repeated, but her tone changed slightly. She lay on her side on the bed, stretched out her finger and hooked Zu An, her eyes almost oozing with water.

Zu An: "..."

He instinctively said Hong Shixian's famous line, and then he couldn't hold back and pounced directly.

Hearing the coquettish laughter coming from inside, Eunuch Lu at the door trembled, and then let out a long breath, as if he was satisfied.

He silently raised his aura and blocked the sounds in the room to prevent other guards from noticing anything unusual.

…

On the other side of the East Palace, Bi Linglong was lying on the bed, unable to sleep. Rong Mo, the personal maid outside, rubbed her sleepy eyes and ran in to check: "Princess, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing, I just have a little insomnia. You can go down and rest by yourself." Bi Linglong replied.

Rong Mo snorted, yawned and walked out.

Bi Linglong suddenly remembered something and hurriedly called out to her: "By the way, no matter what noise you hear later, you are not allowed to come in again."

"Why?" Rong Mo was a little confused. Isn't it his duty to serve the Crown Princess?

Bi Linglong's face was slightly red, and she pretended to be angry and said: "I already have some insomnia. If you come in and run out, it will make me unable to sleep even more!"

Seeing her getting angry, Rong Mo stuck out his tongue and said hurriedly: "Okay, okay, don't disturb the Crown Princess anymore."

Seeing her trotting out and deliberately closing the door, Bi Linglong breathed a sigh of relief. She lifted the quilt under her body, looked at the lock on it, hesitated for a long time, and closed it.

However, she lay on the bed for a while, and suddenly reached out and turned the mechanism back on.

…

Just like this, it was turned off and on for a while, and she gradually fell asleep during the long wait.

On the other side, the clouds are clearing and the rain is coming, the queen is sweating on her temples and her hair is slightly damp. A cheerful and sweet smile remains on her face, especially when she feels that the damaged meridians in her body have been nourished and recovered a little.

She was in a better mood.

"You guy, you don't know how to care about women. I feel like I have become a tool for you to vent." Although she was scolding like this, there was no hint of anger in her tone.

"Don't you like it?" Zu An also entered an ethereal state. He just thought of being chased by the emperor in the secret realm. The suffocating sense of oppression made people breathless, so he pressed harder and harder in his heart.

I vented all my depression.

"What a bad man." The Queen laughed foolishly, "But I like your rudeness."

Maybe little girls like gentleness and delicateness, but for a mature woman like her, she knows best what she needs.

"What happened in Prince Qi's Mansion?" Zu An didn't want to have too many emotional entanglements with her, so he directly changed the subject.

"You can't forget other things at this time," the queen was a little depressed, but she still said, "It doesn't matter, since you just made me happy, I will tell you and regard it as payment for your hard work."

Zu An had a strange look on his face. Looking at the other person's proud look, he thought he was almost done and took out a wad of bills and threw them on himself before going out.

"The concubine of King Qi suddenly lost her footing and fell into the pond a few days ago and drowned," the queen said.

"How is that possible?" Zu An was stunned, "Where are the maids and servants around her?"

Although she is a concubine, she is still the concubine of King Qi. I don’t know how many people are serving her. How could this happen?

"That's the strange thing. It is said that she secretly ran to the pond alone in the middle of the night, so she was not accompanied by a maid," the queen said with some gloating. "There are several theories circulating in the capital about her death. Some are

Some said that she indeed accidentally slipped, some speculated that she was caught stealing from someone, and some said that she saw some secret that she shouldn't have seen and was silenced... Which one do you think?"

"Having an affair?" Zu An asked tentatively. Running out alone in the middle of the night would always make people think about it.

"I thought so at first," the queen said with a smile, "but that guy Zhao Jing is very handsome and charming. It's really hard for me to understand that his woman would steal someone, and the entire Prince Qi's palace,

Who dares to have an affair with the princess? This matter is by no means simple."

Zu An suddenly looked strange: "Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, the usually graceful and luxurious queen is even less likely to do such a thing."
