"The Bi family is led by my elder brother's trusted retainers Gu Heng and Gu Xing. These two are from the Gu family, an affiliated family of the Bi family. They grew up and learned martial arts with us siblings since childhood, so we know them well. The two brothers are hardworking and have good aptitude. Now they have both broken through to the sixth rank."
Zuan looked at him strangely: "Huh, childhood sweethearts?"
Bi Linglong quickly explained, "Don't overthink it. I just see them as half an older brother and family."
She was stunned after she finished speaking. Why did I have to explain to him?
Worried that the other party might notice something amiss, she hurriedly said, "As for you, I've already added you to the list through my father's connections. Although your cultivation level exceeds the seventh rank, it's not by much, so it shouldn't be a big problem. Just rest and recuperate today, and we'll go to the secret realm together tomorrow."
Zu An chuckled to himself, thinking that this girl was still using the power of her family. She didn't know that the emperor had already arranged everything. However, he didn't say anything, but solemnly agreed.
The next morning, Bi Linglong got up early to dress. Thinking about how important today's events were, she tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep. Fortunately, as a cultivator, the night's events didn't have much of an impact.

Why was she doing this? Was it to see that person? Her heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly explained, "This matter concerns the Crown Prince's future, so naturally I have to appear in the best possible light, not only to declare war on the Qi Prince's faction, but also to boost the morale of our own people."
Rong Mo smiled and said, "Your Majesty is so beautiful, those stinky men will definitely try to show off in front of you."
Bi Linglong spat out: "How can you spout such nonsense?"
"Anyway, the Crown Prince isn't here," Rong Mo said dismissively. "Speaking of which, Her Majesty's mental state has improved a lot recently."
"Really?" Bi Linglong was taken aback; she herself hadn't paid attention to it.
“Yes,” Rong Mo chattered, “Your Majesty, before, every morning when you woke up, there was always a faint trace of sorrow between your brows, but now every day you can’t help but smile.”
"Nonsense, I haven't changed that much." Bi Linglong's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly scolded him. Then, looking at the beautiful woman in the mirror, she gently touched her face. Could it be because of... him?
