Why is this playboy so easy to provoke women?

Seeing a series of small anger points in the background, Zu An hurriedly changed the subject: "Haha, other people have given me so many gifts, sister, why don't you express your gratitude?"

"Doesn't it count as a gift if my sister comes to see you?" Jiang Luofu said with a smile, "Besides, the gifts they gave are already comprehensive. I really can't think of anything good, so I'll just owe it to you."

Zu An snorted: "What you said makes sense, but I'm speechless."

Jiang Luofu stood up and said: "Okay, I've looked at it, and I've brought the greetings for others, so I won't delay your rest."

Zu An said: "Actually, it would be great to stay and chat with me for a while."

He is now under house arrest in the palace. It's not like he really needs to recuperate from his injuries. He is almost bored out of his mind.

Jiang Luofu couldn't help but laugh: "You have a special status now. Logically speaking, you are not allowed to see outsiders. I have also taken advantage of the Crown Princess, so I can't make it difficult for her. We will get together again when you recover from your injury."

.”

After saying that, he waved to him and walked out gracefully with his long legs.

"Teacher Jiang, I'll see you off." Bi Linglong followed suit without even looking at Zu An.

Zu An was a little depressed. Although he knew that he couldn't be too intimate in front of other people, you might have gone too far.

Let's say that when he was bored alone in the room, the emperor was sitting on the couch in the royal study on the other side, playing chess with his left and right hands. Zhu Xie stood there silently without making a sound, for fear of disturbing the other party.

He secretly admired him. The emperor was obviously a little distracted in the past few days, but recently he has completely calmed down and regained his former composure.

After a while, the emperor finally spoke: "Who has Zu An come in contact with in the past two days?"

Zhu Xie answered with all his heart: "He had been to the East Palace before. Later, when he returned to the guard room, Pu Duandiao and Jiao Sigu looked for him, and then the queen went to see him."

"Queen?" The emperor frowned slightly, and the chess piece he was about to put down suddenly froze in mid-air.

Zhu Xie explained with all his heart: "The queen not only looked at him, but also looked at several other guards, gave them some medicinal materials, and also encouraged them."

The emperor nodded. These people saved the prince. As the prince's natal family, it was reasonable for her to express her gratitude.

In the final analysis, he never thought about it in other directions. After all, the relationship between the Queen and Zu An was seemingly incompatible.

Zhu Xie continued with his heart: "This morning Jiang Luofu from the National College went to the palace to visit the Crown Princess, and then the Crown Princess took her to see Zu An."

"Jiang Luofu? The Jiang family can be considered semi-neutral, and there is a background of offering wine. It's not a big deal for her to enter the palace." The emperor seemed to have thought of something interesting, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, "I remember that Linglong and her used to have a relationship.

She couldn't deal with it, because the first choice for the crown princess was Jiang Luofu, but she was chosen after Jiang Luofu ran away. She has always been a little bit resentful about this matter, but this time the two actually came together.

"

Zhu Xie said sincerely: "After all, these are old things. The Crown Princess knows the general situation, how can she always keep such things in mind."

As the emperor's confidant, he knew that the emperor was very satisfied with his daughter-in-law, so he naturally wanted to say good things to him.

The emperor smiled and nodded: "Yes, Linglong is becoming more and more like the mother of a nation. Her performance in the secret realm this time was also very good."

Zhu Xie's heart shivered, the other person's evaluation was quite high, and he hurriedly followed the other person's words and complimented him.

After a while, the emperor suddenly asked: "By the way, after Jiang Luofu saw Zu An, did he ask about what happened in the secret realm?"

Zhu Xie replied sincerely: "No, it's just greetings from some friends. In addition, I also helped Chu Youzhao, Murong Qinghe, and Xie Daoyun bring some gifts to him."

There were so many people accompanying him at that time, so naturally there were his informants among them.

The emperor was startled: "Zu An is such a popular guy. He has friends with various forces. What on earth does he want to do?"

When he finished speaking, his voice became extremely cold.

Seeing this, Zhu Xie Chixin made a knife-cutting gesture: "May I take this opportunity... Anyway, he was seriously injured. We can claim to the outside world that his injury has recurred, and no one will doubt anything."

Although the two had a close friendship, as a close confidant of the emperor, he had sensed the emperor's murderous intention against Zu An several times during this period, so he naturally wanted to distance himself from the other party to avoid getting burned.

"No need for the moment," the emperor raised his hand to stop, "this guy has other uses."

"Yes!" Zhu Xie lowered his head sincerely. He knew the emperor too well. What the other party said meant that Zu An would be destroyed as soon as it was no longer useful.

"Okay, stand down." The emperor waved his hand and stared at the densely packed chess pieces on the table, lost in thought.

After Zhu Xie left with all his heart, Luo Zi's voice sounded in the room after a long time: "I would rather teach me to betray the world than teach the world to betray me!"

A few days passed like this, and Zu An was almost sick even if he wasn't sick.

During this period, the Queen never came again. I don't know if she was completely satisfied that time or if she was worried that Xingzang would be exposed.

Zu An tried to go to the East Palace to talk to Bi Linglong, but every time the secret passage mechanism was locked tightly, it was obviously locked from the inside.

In desperation, he could only play Pai Gow with Pu Duandiao and Jiao Siguang for fun.

Until the news came that day that he could leave the palace freely.

"But you must keep in mind that what happened in the secret realm must not be leaked to the outside world, especially the affairs of the masters in Prince Qi's Mansion." Zhu Xie personally instructed several people.

"Why?" Pu Duandiao couldn't help but ask. You must know that out of the guards at that time, they were the only two who survived, and the others all died at the hands of the dead men of Prince Qi's palace. Naturally, they also wanted to avenge their former friends.

"You don't need to know why, just obey the order, and the reward you deserve will be no less, but!" Zhu Xie said coldly, "If I hear any gossip outside, not only will you die,

Your family members will also be buried with you. The reason why you are spared alive is because of your merits in protecting the crown prince and crown princess. Don’t be ungrateful."

Pu Duandiao and Jiao Siguan looked at each other, obviously feeling guilty.

Zu An couldn't help but ask: "But what if we didn't leak it, but someone else learned about it from other channels?"

Zhu Xie said calmly: "You are also going to die." After saying that, he left directly.

Everyone in Zuan: "..."

Soon everyone understood why Zhu Xie had given such instructions, and news of various rewards and punishments had spread inside and outside the palace.

Because of his outstanding service in protecting the crown prince and princess, Zu An was promoted from baron to viscount, with an additional 300 households in the city. He continued to retain the crown prince's bastard son and concurrently served as the general of the Yulin. He was rewarded with a thousand taels of gold and twenty boxes of silk and satin.

Pu Duandiao and Jiao Siguan were each promoted to three levels, directly promoted to the head of the East Palace Guards, and were rewarded with a thousand taels of silver and some silk and silk.

Gao Ying, Pei You and others all received corresponding rewards, and even Zhao Xi, Liu Xian, Meng Pan and others who died in battle were awarded posthumously.

The names of the other sons of each family who died in the battle and the guards of the East Palace were recorded in the book and monuments were erected to commemorate them.

Shi Tong of the Shi family sneaked into the secret realm team and murdered the prince. The head of the Shi family, Shi Miao, did not report the news because he was resentful and treasonous. The gold medal for immunity from death that had been issued in the past was withdrawn, the family was confiscated and exterminated, and the side clan was exiled.

The Gu family, Gu Heng, and the Gu Xing brothers sold their goods to seek glory and plotted to kill the prince. The Gu family killed nine clansmen.

…

But what surprised everyone was that from beginning to end, the official did not mention King Qi and those dead soldiers, as if so many masters in the secret realm had never appeared.
