Liu Ning blushed upon hearing this. She had wanted to tell him to stop several times, but she couldn't bear to, and now her whole body was still numb.
With eyes like water, she watched the other person's departing figure. This guy was amazing. Her life was originally bleak and hopeless, but he brought her a rainbow.
Yes, we must snatch him away from that little bastard.
After Zu'an left the room, he happened to run into the smiling Eunuch Lü.
"You've worked hard, Lord Zu."
"It's not hard work."
He answered instinctively, but Zu'an felt something was off.
"Is Lord Zu leaving so soon? Why not stay a little longer?" Eunuch Lü seemed somewhat regretful.
"There are still some matters that need to be dealt with outside the palace." Zu An wondered what was wrong with his look, as if he was still somewhat unsatisfied.
"Oh, then we won't keep you any longer, Lord Zu. Please come to Kunning Palace often in the future. Her Majesty likes you very much." Eunuch Lü bowed and gestured for him to enter.
Zuan nodded, but felt a little strange. Why did it feel like you wanted me to come here even more than the Empress did?
Soon, Eunuch Lü led him to the front hall of Kunning Palace. The eunuchs, maids, and even some lesser-known concubines outside couldn't help but whisper among themselves upon seeing this:
"Lord Zu is truly favored by the Empress, as he has been able to stay in the palace for so long."
"Don't you even know who Lord Zu is? The regent of the demon race naturally needs to be treated with utmost respect."
"By the way, I remember he was the Crown Princess's most trusted minister. Now that he's come to the Empress's side, does he represent the Crown Princess or himself?"
"Shut up. Do you think you can find out these things?"
...
Although these people kept their voices down, they could not escape the notice of Zu'an's eyes and ears at this moment.
He couldn't help but frown. This matter would most likely reach Bi Linglong's side. What would she think of him?
The key issue is that he didn't know how to choose; in fact, his heart was slightly inclined towards Bi Linglong.
But after what had just happened, he realized that Liu Ning was too good to him, so good that he couldn't bear to help Bi Linglong deal with her.
This is truly an unsolvable situation.
And then there are the hidden forces in the capital that Liu Ning just mentioned. It seems the waters in the capital are deeper than we imagined.
In the end, he realized that he had been in the court for too short a time, so short that he didn't understand the background and influence of these families.
No wonder the Taoist, Buddhist, and witchcraft sects, despite having so many grandmasters and experts, were still suppressed by the imperial court.
Although Liu Ning mostly underestimated his strength, he was not afraid of any Eight Immortals or hidden masters. However, if he went crazy and recklessly in the capital and became the public enemy in the eyes of those old monsters, and was secretly dealt with by them, it would still be quite troublesome.
After some thought, he decided to investigate the hidden forces in the capital first, lest he become a target without knowing why.
Although our strength has increased, we still need to be more cautious to go far. The path of cultivation is fraught with danger, and we cannot afford to be careless in the slightest.
Even someone as powerful as Zhao Hao is not truly invincible in the world; there are many beings far stronger than him.
In the end, he was also killed by someone who was weaker than him. It would be ridiculous if he became arrogant and accidentally repeated his mistakes.
If you want to investigate these hidden powerhouses in the capital, what could be more convenient than the Embroidered-Robe Envoy?
He looked up at the sky and realized that half a day had already passed.
Grandmasters are not so easy to deal with; their durability is incomparable to that of ordinary women. Fortunately, he was riding a white horse with a silver spear and, like Zhao Zilong, played a trick on Changbanpo before finally winning.
After hesitating for a moment, he decided to head in the direction of the embroidery tower, and wait for Xiao Jianren to investigate the relevant intelligence before leaving the palace to go to the Qin family.
After changing the shape of a rockery to resemble the Gold Medal Eleven, we entered the embroidered pavilion area.
As soon as he entered, several embroidered-robed messengers quickly surrounded him. They were taken aback when they saw his attire: "Eleventh Lord?"
Zuan asked curiously, "Why are the defenses so much stronger now than before?"
"Something terrible has happened at Zishan. The Grand Commander has also gone missing. The entire Embroidery Tower is now on high alert," one of them replied.
Zu An thought to himself, "No wonder. Without a leader, the embroidered tower must be in complete chaos right now: Who's in charge here?"
"Lord Bu Liangcai, the silver-plated embroidered-robed official," the embroidered-robed messengers replied.
Zu An nodded secretly. The other gold-medal embroiderers in the embroidered building were stationed in various regions. The affairs in the capital were directly managed by Zhu Xie Chixin. Originally, there were no gold medals, until this unexpected person arrived.
However, he rarely interfered in the affairs of the Embroidered-Robed Envoys on a regular basis; it was basically Zhu Xie Chixin who managed them.
Of course, Zhu Xie Chixin was extremely busy and couldn't possibly handle all the complicated matters himself. He basically relied on his four trusted subordinates to handle everything.
Bu Liangcai is one of them, and is widely recognized as Zhu Xiechixin's right-hand man.
In the battle of Zishan, Zhu Xiechixin took most of his confidants with him, leaving one of his right-hand men, Bu Liangcai, to guard the capital.
Who would have thought they would all be wiped out on the Golden Summit and disappear without a trace? Now, the Embroidery Tower is naturally under Bu Liangcai's control. Firstly, he is a senior silver medalist, and secondly, he is Zhu Xiechixin's confidant.
"Where is Lord Xiao Jianren?" Zu An asked again, finding it easier to rely on acquaintances.
At this moment, the embroidered-robed messengers exchanged glances and stammered, "Reporting to Eleventh Lord, Lord Xiao has been imprisoned."
"What's going on?" Zu An frowned.
Those people opened their mouths, but none of them said anything.
Zu An snorted coldly, too lazy to waste any more words, and headed straight for the Embroidery Building.
The guards at the gate were also startled when they saw him and hurriedly reached out to stop him: "Eleventh Lord, you cannot enter here."
