"Are you sure you won't do something stupid out of impulse?" Liu Ning couldn't help but ask again.
"Don't worry, I'm not stupid. Do I want to become the public enemy of the entire capital?" Zu An comforted her for a few words before getting up to take his leave.
As he was about to leave the palace, Bi Linglong changed into casual clothes and came to find him: "Grandfather, I'm very sorry about what happened in court just now. Meng Yi, that old fox, is too cunning. But you must not do anything foolish. If I'm not mistaken, the other party did all this to provoke you into making a move, so that they can get rid of you in a legitimate way."
Having weakened the Eastern Palace's power, their next move will be to deal with me and the Crown Prince.
"Don't worry, I won't let them have their way," Zuan said calmly.
Bi Linglong rolled her eyes at him: "You killed Prince Jin directly before, how can I feel at ease?"
“I’ll be more rational this time.” Zuan smiled and patted her hand. “People always grow, you know. Now I’ll win people over with virtue.”
"real?"
"real."
Bi Linglong's identity made it difficult for her to spend too much time with him in private. When eunuchs and palace maids approached from afar, although she still had some doubts in her heart, she could only hurriedly leave.
Just as Zu An was about to head to the Prince of Dai's residence, a thought suddenly struck him. He took out the Embroidered Robe Envoy's waist token from his bosom and sensed the fluctuations of energy on it. Someone was looking for me.
So he changed into the clothes of the Grand Commander and went to the embroidered tower.
They spotted a delicate figure dressed in plain clothes pacing anxiously inside. She had arched eyebrows and a small mouth, and her whole appearance was exceptionally pretty and pitiful.
"Why did the Princess Consort of Jin come here?" Zu An asked curiously.
"Ah, the Grand Commander." Upon seeing that tall and imposing figure, Princess Jin's pretty face involuntarily flushed red. These days, fragments of her dreams kept popping into her mind, and now that she had met the person in person, she naturally felt a little flustered.
"Is something the matter?"
Princess Jin then remembered her purpose and hurriedly grabbed his hands: "Commander, please save my father and the others."
What happened to them?
"Last time, because I testified for you and identified Prince Dai and Meng Yi, they sent people to retaliate against the He family, saying that my father was corrupt, seized fertile land, and oppressed the people. They imprisoned him, and many members of the He family were arrested. Many women were also said to be sold into the Jiaofangsi (a government-run entertainment institution)."
“The Prince of Dai sent someone to tell me that this was just a small lesson for me, and what I do next is up to me. He told me to go to his residence today to apologize.”
"Please, President, help me! I really have no other choice."
Zuan narrowed his eyes. This Prince Dai was truly audacious and lecherous. He hadn't let go of that idea yet, and was really going further and further down the path of courting death.
He helped Princess Jin up: "Princess, you can rest assured. I will send someone to rescue your father immediately. Besides, Prince Dai will soon be no threat to you."
Princess Jin was taken aback, completely failing to understand what the other party meant. After all, he was a powerful prince, unlike her husband who was in poor health and thus received only superficial respect but was not taken seriously. How could he not be a threat to her?
Zu An didn't say much to her. He found several embroidered-robed messengers to escort her back to her residence. He then changed out of the messengers' clothes and went straight to the Prince of Dai's residence after leaving the palace.
Looking at the vermilion gate in front of him, he walked straight up and kicked both doors away: "Zhao Ping, get out here and see me!"
Soon, a thunderous roar resounded throughout the entire Prince Dai's mansion.
Since the methods used by Qin Zheng and Jiang Luofu didn't work, it's my turn to use my own methods to win people over with virtue.
