Upon hearing this voice, Bi Qi and Zhao Ruizhi both frowned, exchanged a glance, and both saw the worry in each other's eyes.

In contrast to them, Bi Linglong and the other two women's eyes lit up, and they looked in the direction of the sound with surprise and joy.

A person stood in the sky, looking down at the crowd, and walked down step by step, as if there were transparent stairs in the void.

There were many experts in the palace, and many people were shocked to see this scene. Masters and above can fly, but they all use the power of heaven and earth. They can go fast, but it is difficult to slow down, let alone walk so leisurely. It seems that the Regent's cultivation has improved a lot.

“Ah…” Bi Linglong was about to call out to him when she suddenly froze, because he was not alone. There was a stunningly beautiful woman beside him, and he was holding her hand as they came down together.

She recognized the woman; she was none other than the currently popular Princess Wu.

For a moment she was a little confused. How did this guy get involved with Princess Wu?

However, upon further reflection, he realized that if he could even seduce the Empress Dowager, it wouldn't be surprising if he could also seduce the young and beautiful Princess Wu.

Anger from Bi Linglong: +166 +166 +166...

Liu Ning's expression was somewhat strange. First it was Bi Linglong, and now it's Princess Wu. There are even rumors of Princess Jin and Princess Dai. All of Zhao Hao's wives have been taken away in one fell swoop. If he knew about this, he would probably be so angry that he would come back to life.

Anger from Liu Ning: +120 +120 +120...

Yun Jianyue was so calm just now because she sensed the aura that Zu An was exploding on the other side and knew that he would arrive soon.

However, her eyes held a dangerous glint as she stared at the two clasped hands. This guy had caused them, master and disciple, so much harm, and now he wasn't even sparing her sister.

You really like to finish everything off!

Anger from the moon in the clouds +250 +250 +250...

Yun Yuqing felt both shy and inexplicably happy. Falling from the sky hand in hand with Zuan in front of countless people was more effective than any official announcement.

Moreover, this gradual approach to the crowd, as if a wedding were being held, with everyone present serving as a witness, was truly remarkable.

However, I still felt a little ashamed looking at everyone's eyes.

Especially the way the Empress and my sister looked at me, it was as if they wanted to devour me.

Wait, isn't that the Empress Dowager who's been missing for days?

Why is she looking at me like that too?

Seeing the string of angry expressions from the women backstage, Zu'an pretended not to notice their emotions and instead looked at Zhao Ruizhi and Bi Qi: "I didn't expect the palace to be so lively."

At his glance, the soldiers who were about to rush towards Bi Linglong stopped in their tracks, swallowing hard and instinctively backing away.

Upon seeing him return, Wang Bolin and Zhang Zijiang almost wept with joy. During this time, they had truly risked the lives of their entire clan to support the Empress, and the pressure they had endured was unimaginable. Now that he was back, it was all worth it.

Jiao Sigun and Pu Duandiao wiped the fine sweat from their foreheads. Finally, we didn't have to face the emperor's wrath. We were too weak to bear such a heavy responsibility.

The Embroidered-Robed Envoys also showed knowing smiles, especially Zhang Zitong, whose eyes looked at Zu An with a hint of admiration.

Bi Qi cupped his hands in greeting: "So it's the Regent. His Majesty and I were extremely worried about you during your disappearance."

Zu An thought to himself, "What a cunning old fox," and laughed, "He's probably afraid I won't die."

Bi Qi's expression changed: "Regent, you must be joking!"

The many guards on the Empress's side had strange expressions. They thought to themselves that Bi Qi hadn't been so easy to talk to just now, and now that the Regent had spoken so sarcastically to their faces, they didn't dare to break off the relationship.

Bi Linglong knew that important matters were more important, so she temporarily suppressed her dissatisfaction and quickly reminded him, "He and the emperor have been replaced by demons."

Zuan looked at the two of them with some surprise. He hadn't expected that the Plague Lord and the Doomsday Wraith, whom he was worried about, would actually come to him on their own.

How thoughtful!

Zhao Ruizhi and Bi Qi looked extremely grim. They had just been smug, thinking that Zu'an would never find them by hiding in the palace.

Bi Qi glared at Zhao Ruizhi with annoyance. It was this guy who was influenced by human lust, causing all their previous efforts to go to waste.

Zhao Ruizhi glared back at him, thinking to himself, "Weren't you here just now? Why didn't you control Bi Linglong immediately? Now you're blaming me?"

"Ahem, Linglong, don't talk nonsense. How could your father and the Emperor be demons?" Biqi felt that there was still a chance to try to save them.

Zuan smiled faintly: "Whether it is or not, I'll know once I check."

"Don't come any closer!" Zhao Ruizhi suddenly shouted. "I don't want you to examine me. You bullied Linglong, and now you want to take this opportunity to harm me!"

The emperor's men nodded in agreement. The empress and the regent's relationship was ambiguous, and even if they weren't demons, the regent could easily frame them.

Just then, another guard rushed in, tripping and falling along the way: "Reporting, Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! The Regent..."

The man suddenly saw Zu'an halfway through his speech, and his voice abruptly stopped.

"What's wrong with me?" Zu'an smiled gently, but the man suddenly trembled and couldn't speak.

"Tell me, what exactly happened?" Bi Qi's lips curled up slightly, and she had a general idea in her mind. She thought that this person had come at the right time.

A warm current flowed into his body, and the man slowly recovered. He glanced at Zu An, took a few steps closer to Bi Qi and Zhao Ruizhi, and then said, "King Wu led his men to arrest the Jiang family for their rebellion. Everything was going smoothly until the Regent suddenly arrived, and then King Wu was... crippled."
