At this moment, Zhao Xiaodie had already pulled her head back, but her ears were perked up, as if she wanted to hear what the two of them were talking about.
"Lord Zu, where are you now?" Bi Linglong's calm yet authoritative voice came through.
Judging from her formulaic tone, Zu An immediately knew that there were other people around her.
"Lord Bi, General Zhao, and I, along with relevant personnel, left Zishan and are currently on our way back, still within the territory of Yi County."
Bi Linglong glanced at him, a hint of joy flickering in her eyes, but she quickly concealed it: "I heard you were trapped in that secret realm before. Now that you've come out, why didn't you report to me immediately?"
"I've been quite busy these past few days..." Zu An could naturally hear the dissatisfaction in her tone, and he couldn't help but feel a little guilty. He had been with Chu Yan, Man Man, and Hong Lei these past few days and had forgotten to contact her for a while.
"Oh, are you with that Miss Chu? Pick up the video camera and turn it around so I can see your surroundings," Bi Linglong suddenly said.
Left with no other choice, Zu'an turned the video camera around to let her see Zhao Xiaodie, lest any private conversations come up later.
When Bi Linglong saw Zhao Xiaodie, she was stunned: "It's you?"
"Greetings, Crown Princess." Zhao Xiaodie casually cupped her hands in greeting. Over the years, the Crown Prince and Prince Qi had been locked in a fierce struggle, so their relationship was naturally quite strained.
Bi Linglong's smile also had a hint of coldness: "Xiao Die, when you get to the capital, have a good chat with your aunt."
“It’s my sister-in-law!” Zhao Xiaodie snorted. Her mother, Princess Qi, was Bi Linglong’s half-sister. By that logic, the other party was indeed her aunt.
However, her father and the emperor were brothers, and the crown prince was her cousin, so in terms of this relationship, the other party was also her cousin's wife.
The two are close in age and naturally don't want to be considered a generation younger than each other.
At this moment, Zu'an's voice rang out: "I am asking the princess for some information about the secret realm."
Let me explain in advance, so that Bi Linglong doesn't misunderstand anything.
"Did you find anything?" Bi Linglong looked at him, her initial gentleness gone, replaced by a frosty expression.
“I did find some things,” Zuan replied.
At this moment, Bi Linglong's voice came: "It's not clear in the video mirror. You should return to the capital as soon as possible and report to me in person."
"Yes, you don't need to go with the main group, it's too slow."
Zuan was taken aback, but still nodded and said, "Okay!"
She has learned about most of the things she needs to know here. Now that the Liu and Meng families in the capital have joined forces, the situation is very turbulent. She must be very anxious and in dire need of someone to rely on.
Seeing that he agreed without hesitation, Bi Linglong's expression softened slightly: "I am waiting for Lord Zu to return soon."
The video call ended quickly, and the video player fell silent.
At this moment, Zhao Xiaodie leaned over and asked, "Brother Zu, why does it feel like the Crown Princess is treating you a little differently? Could it be that you two are having an affair?"
Zu An looked at her coldly: "Princess, your imagination is a bit too wild. Just a friendly reminder, be careful what you say in the future, or you might accidentally cause a disaster that leads to the confiscation of your family's property and the extermination of your clan."
Zhao Xiaodie pursed her lips: "No one would believe this if I told them, but ever since I found out about your relationship with Yan Xuehen and Yun Jianyue, I feel like there's no woman in this world you can't handle. Not to mention the Crown Princess, even the current Empress, or even my mother, I wouldn't be surprised at all if you said you had affairs with them."
Zuan: "..."
