That night, Zu An entered the palace, went directly to the East Palace to find the Crown Princess, and told her what he had found out.
Although Zuan should be under house arrest in the palace now, what does that have to do with the Embroidered Robe Envoy Grand Commander?
Moreover, with this attire, they could enter the palace without any hindrance. The Embroidered-Robed Envoys had a notorious reputation, and no one wanted to have anything to do with them.
Even when he went to the East Palace and met with Bi Linglong in private, no one in the East Palace raised any objections.
After all, the Embroidered-Robe Envoys were a secret intelligence agency, and what they exchanged was definitely confidential. Which eunuch or palace maid in the entire Eastern Palace would dare to listen in?
Gazing at the dark red robe and the hideous mask before her, Bi Linglong was somewhat lost in thought. After a long while, she sighed, "I still prefer the outfit worn by Gold Medal Eleven."
Back in the secret realm, the two of them joined forces to deal with Zhao Hao's split soul, sharing life and death together, and there were no more secrets between them.
After they came out, with Zhao Hao as their formidable enemy, the two exchanged information about their respective resources and capabilities during a secret rendezvous in order to better integrate intelligence.
Upon learning that the other party also held the title of Gold Medal Eleven, Bi Linglong was so happy she almost fainted.
You should know that when the Demonic Sect attempted to assassinate her, she almost lost her life on the spot. Fortunately, she was saved by the Golden Medal Eleven. The two had several more encounters afterward, and she unknowingly developed a slight liking for the mysterious Golden Medal Embroidered Robe.
However, in the secret realm, she accidentally gave herself to Zaun, and the two fought a bloody battle, during which she couldn't help but fall in love with him.
The feelings he had for her were far beyond what a gold-medal embroidered maid he had only met a few times could compare to.
But for some reason, when the night was quiet and she thought of that person, a faint sense of regret would rise in her heart.
The other person is like a ray of white moonlight encountered in one's youth; precisely because it is filled with regret, it is unforgettable for a lifetime.
However, after the incident with Zuan, she buried that shadow deep in her heart, keeping it a secret she would never utter.
She often felt guilty about this, always feeling that she was not a good woman to have fallen for two men at the same time.
—As for that silly fat guy Zhao Ruizhi, she never considered him a man.
Who knew that the two people I liked were actually the same person!
She still vividly remembers the immense happiness she felt at that moment. No wonder she felt a strange sense of familiarity between the two of them; they were the same person.
That night she was exceptionally moved, abandoning her usual shyness and actively pursuing him all night.
Zuan smiled and said, "From now on, I'll wear the Gold Medal Eleven outfit when I come to see you."
"Okay." Bi Linglong blushed and her heart beat faster.
After chatting for a while, Bi Linglong returned to her business. She knew this was a good opportunity to strike at the Prince of Dai, so she hurriedly ordered that ministers loyal to the Crown Prince be summoned to the palace that very night to discuss the matter.
The group discussed for several hours, and after Bi Linglong saw everyone off, they discovered that Zu An had already disappeared.
"Momo, where is he?" Bi Linglong asked.
"Which 'her'?" Rong Mo was taken aback.
"Of course it is... cough cough, it is the Grand Commander of the Embroidered Robe Envoy." Bi Linglong thought to herself that her maid seemed to be getting dumber and dumber.
"He's long gone."
When did you leave?
"It was probably when the Empress summoned those ministers."
Upon hearing this answer, Bi Linglong felt a pang of disappointment; she had left so early.
She couldn't help but feel a little resentful, wondering if it was just her imagination, but he seemed much more distant from her this time he came back.
Thinking of the strange questions he had asked her before, she frowned slightly. Could it be that something happened that I didn't know about?
...
The next morning, many ministers were discussing what had happened that day, that a morning court session had been held and all the ministers had been summoned.
You should know that when the emperor was alive, he didn't have to attend court every day. Since the Battle of Zishan, he hasn't attended court for a long time.
Many matters required consulting the Crown Princess at the Eastern Palace or the Empress at the Kunning Palace; there was no need to attend court.
After all the officials had taken their places in the Golden Palace, the Crown Prince finally arrived late. Judging from his puffed-up lips, he was clearly unwilling. In his mind, attending court was not as fun as cricket fighting.
However, everyone needed him, the nominal regent, to sit there, and they were also afraid of the crown princess, so they had no choice but to come.
Following this, the Crown Princess and Liu Ning, one on each side, held court behind a curtain. Since they were women, a beaded curtain was still needed to separate them from the court officials.
After the usual morning court proceedings were completed, the ministers from the Meng family and the Prince of Dai's faction took the lead in launching an attack, bringing up the old story of the Prince of Jin's murder and requesting the court to severely punish the murderer, Zu An.
All eyes turned to Zu'an, only to find him completely unfazed, as if he didn't care about the matter at all.
Many people frowned slightly, realizing that something was amiss.
As expected, an official from the Eastern Palace came forward to refute: "Her Majesty the Empress sent an embroidered-robed messenger to investigate this matter, and presumably there should be a result by now."
The Empress glanced at Zu An from afar and thought to herself, "This kid is really handsome. Just standing there makes people feel hot all over."
She smiled slightly: "Someone, have the Embroidered-Robed Envoy send someone to report back!"
Of course she knew that the Embroidered-Robed Envoy and Grand Commander were standing there, and she deliberately smoothed things over for him.
Soon, a silver-plated embroidered man arrived. Zu An looked at him and saw that it was Xiao Jianren. His injuries seemed to have healed quite a bit.
At this point, Xiao Jianren stated that the Prince of Jin died from a sudden attack of anger and had no external injuries, which immediately caused an uproar in the entire court.
"There's something fishy going on here!" The Prince of Dai couldn't help but shout first.
