“We are the ones who have wronged them,” Yu Yanluo added, “so we need you to stay at the Duke’s mansion for a while as a duke, until the situation stabilizes.”
Zu An frowned and said, "It is my duty to help them clean up the mess, but I am, after all, an imperial envoy, and I will eventually have to return to the capital. I cannot stay here for too long."
He has his own identity and his own life. He can't stay here as a county lord forever. He only did that because he had no other choice but to solve the case.
Yu Yanluo explained, "Don't worry, it won't be long. Once the situation stabilizes a bit, you can announce that you're going into seclusion to recuperate from your injuries. That way, you won't have to see people for long periods. After some time, once the key personnel are replaced with our trusted confidants and the situation is under control, you can also announce that the Duke's injuries have relapsed and he has passed away. By then, everything will have settled down and there won't be any impact."
"This period of time is also enough to make proper arrangements for Liu Ji and the others."
“Okay, I’ll do my best,” Zuan nodded.
He was also thinking about something else. He had offended the emperor, and sooner or later he would have to break with him. At that time, Yunzhong County might be able to give him a base and resources, so it wouldn't hurt to make some arrangements in advance.
"That's good... um..." Yu Yanluo's murmur was truly soft and tender. As soon as the voice came out, her skin felt like it was on fire, and she jumped up from his arms.
Perhaps due to his severe injuries and weakness, he swayed and almost fell over.
Zuan was startled and hurriedly went to help her.
Yu Yanluo quickly took a step back, stopping him at the same time, saying, "Don't come any closer!"
Zu'an looked puzzled: "Madam, what's wrong?"
"How dare you say that!" Yu Yanlu glared at him, embarrassed and annoyed. "Fine, I don't need your treatment anymore. Your vital energy is just too strange."
“But your injuries haven’t healed yet,” Zuan said worriedly.
"Your treatment just now has helped me recover somewhat. I'll take care of myself when I get back." Yu Yanluo was still a little shaken and clearly didn't dare let her relieve her again.
"Alright." Hearing him say that, Zu'an couldn't insist any further, otherwise it would seem like he had ulterior motives and wanted to take advantage of her.
Yu Yanluo breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that he didn't continue.
Just then, an extremely rich spiritual energy suddenly wafted through the entire ice cave. Taking a breath of it was incredibly sweet, as if every pore on my body was cheering.
Zuan and Yu Yanluo exchanged a glance: "Purple Frost Divine Milk!"
