Zuan could no longer hold back and pounced with a roar.
...
After leaving the courtyard, Bi Linglong and Rong Mo walked for a short while before she suddenly frowned and sat down on a rock to rest.
"Miss, what's wrong?" Rong Mo was startled and hurriedly circled around her to check on her.
"It's nothing, I just need to rest. My legs are probably a little numb from sitting for so long," Bi Linglong explained, blushing.
"You've been doing this for a long time?" Rong Mo's eyes widened. "Is Lord Zu really that fierce?"
Bi Linglong blushed deeply and pulled her ear to explain, "What nonsense! It means 'sit' on a stool! What kind of nonsense are you thinking about all day long!"
"Hey, you're the one doing it, can't I even think about it?" Rong Mo muttered, and seeing the other woman raise her eyebrows slightly, she quickly begged for mercy, and it took her a lot of effort to calm the young lady down.
"Miss, I was so worried just now, afraid that the Empress would see you..." Rong Mo stuck out her tongue halfway through her sentence.
Bi Linglong's face flushed: "What's there to be afraid of? My relationship with Lord Zu is upright and honorable..."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Rong Mo curled his lips, his expression as if to say, "I don't believe you for a second." "By the way, Miss, your legs were fine when you came out of the room just now, how come they suddenly feel weak now?"
"The Empress was watching just now, so even if I was soft, I had to hold on..." She finally realized halfway through her sentence that the other person was deliberately trying to get information out of her, and couldn't help but pinch her cheek. "Oh, Momo, when did you become so naughty?"
"Oh dear, Miss, I was just concerned about you." Rong Mo smiled and pleaded for forgiveness, but she felt a little gratified. Originally, the two of them had grown up together and were as close as sisters. However, after Miss entered the palace and became the Crown Princess, she was probably too young to be accepted by the public and had to maintain the dignity of the Crown Princess at all times, which made the two of them estranged.
As a result, after sharing that secret, their relationship seemed to return to what it was before.
After playing around for a while, Bi Linglong deliberately put on a stern face: "Let's go, let's continue down the mountain."
"Miss, are you really rested enough? Would you like to sit a little longer and relax?"
"..."
"Miss, Miss, you've been inside for over an hour. Is Lord Zu really that valiant? I've heard that men last very short."
"Who are you listening to... Pah, if you don't speak, no one will think you're mute."
"Miss, Miss, your delicate body can't bear this..."
"Say that again and I'll cut your tongue out!"
...
Meanwhile, Bi Zi'ang waited downstairs until the flowers withered, and finally saw his younger sister come out. He couldn't help but go up to her and exclaim, "Linglong!"
"Big brother? What are you doing here?"
“Father wants to see you, so he asked me to come and pick you up.” As Bi Ziang spoke, he glanced at her again and couldn’t help but be a little surprised. “Linglong’s complexion has become much rosier than before these days, and she has become even more beautiful.”
Rong Mo thought to herself, "After receiving more than an hour of love's nourishment, how could my complexion not be rosy?"
Bi Linglong clearly guessed what her maid was thinking, and secretly glared at her to warn her not to give anything away before replying, "Father can just send someone to let me know if anything is wrong..."
She suddenly froze halfway through her speech. Logically, her father should be visiting the Eastern Palace to see her now, not the Crown Princess.
My father has been involved in politics for many years and would not make such a mistake. Is there something he cannot say in the Crown Prince's Palace?
She remained calm and said, "Then let's go back to the Bi residence first."
Once inside the carriage, her expression turned serious: "What exactly is going on?"
"I don't know either. Father said it concerns the life and death of the Meng family, but I think Father is exaggerating too much." Bi Ziang was somewhat dismissive. Now that the Meng family is finished, the Bi family is in a great position. He couldn't imagine how they would lose.
Bi Linglong didn't laugh, because she knew her father was not the type to joke around.
They soon returned to the Bi family home, where Bi Qi led them to a secret room, where even their personal maid, Rong Mo, was not allowed to approach.
Seeing his large entourage, Bi Ziang panicked a little: "Father, what happened?"
Bi Linglong also looked at her father with a solemn expression.
Bi Qi sighed: "The Meng family's today will be the Bi family's tomorrow, no, it might be even worse."
"Father, what's wrong? Stop beating around the bush," Bi Linglong said anxiously.
"Have you heard the talk on the streets these days that Zu'an might be a grandson of the former emperor?" Biqi said.
Bi Linglong nodded: "I have heard about it. I have already sent people to deal with it. It should be some busybodies spreading rumors."
"What if it's true?" Biqi looked at her intently.
"Even if it's true, so what? The previous dynasty has been gone for so many years. Now that the emperor has passed away, no one will care anymore." Bi Linglong was dismissive. She thought it was something serious, just like that?
Whether he's a commoner or a prince, what does it matter if I like him as a person?
Moreover, she believed that given her relationship with Ah Zu, he wouldn't mind these things.
“You don’t understand,” Biqi hesitated for a long time, “Back then, when the Zhao family plotted against those princes and grandsons of the previous dynasty, Father was the one in charge!”
"What!" Bi Ziang, who was originally nonchalant, exclaimed in surprise upon hearing this.
What a joke! Zuan is now one of the Bi family's biggest assets, and now they're only finding out that the two sides have such a blood feud?
Thinking of the Meng family's fate, he couldn't help but shudder. No wonder his father said the Bi family's fate would be even worse.
Bi Linglong had just experienced something extremely joyful, feeling as if she were on cloud nine, but now she suddenly fell hard to the ground, completely stunned, as countless memories flooded her mind.
