No wonder my grandfather suddenly asked me some very strange questions the other day, such as "If he and his father were in danger at the same time, who would you save first?" and "Would you be willing to give up everything and run away with him?"
At the time, she felt that the other party's questions were too naive, and she was also preoccupied with the struggle between the Meng family and the Empress, so she just gave a few casual replies and didn't take them to heart.
Looking back now, I think that Azu probably had a hidden meaning behind his question.
"It's over, it's over! So many experts from the Meng family, even a terrestrial immortal, have been killed. If he wants revenge, aren't we just waiting to die?" Bi Ziang became more and more frightened as he thought about it, and couldn't help but complain, "Father, why did you do such a thing? You've made such a powerful enemy out of nowhere."
Bi Qi was already irritable, and upon hearing this, his expression changed drastically: "Damn it, is this something I can control! Besides, who knew that such a monstrous genius could emerge from among those remnants?"
After being scolded by his father, Bi Ziang dared not argue back.
He knew his father was telling the truth. Under normal circumstances, it would be good enough if these descendants of the former royal family could keep their lives. Many even changed their names and surnames in order to survive, never wanting to have anything to do with the former dynasty again.
Who would have thought that such an oddball as Zu'an could appear? Without the protection of a family, without the guidance of a famous teacher from childhood, and without the resources of the entire clan, he has cultivated to such a level at such a young age. Could it be that the legendary "Phoenix Nirvana Scripture" really has such miraculous effects?
At this moment, Bi Linglong took a deep breath and calmed herself down before asking, "Father, what exactly did you do back then? If you had just followed orders, it might not have been impossible to resolve the enmity."
Bi Qi's face twitched, and he finally shook his head: "Back then, most of the princes and grandsons in the palace didn't live to adulthood, and many concubines were also secretly disposed of. Do you think this grudge can be resolved?"
Bi Linglong's heart turned completely cold. This was an irreconcilable feud; how could it possibly be resolved?
Bi Qi sighed: "Now we can only hope that Zu An is not a grandson of the previous dynasty. Linglong, it's convenient for you to contact the Embroidered Uniform Guards in the palace, so let them tell you the latest information when they investigate. Also, even if it is found that the other party is indeed a grandson of the previous dynasty, we cannot admit it. This should also be in the interests of the royal family now."
Such a powerful grandson of the former emperor is a formidable enemy to the Zhao family, and could even jeopardize their imperial power.
Bi Linglong gave a wry smile. Under normal circumstances, her father's method was indeed the safest and most comprehensive.
Unfortunately, this couldn't be kept secret any longer; the current commander of the Embroidered Robe Envoys is none other than Azu!
She opened her mouth, but ultimately didn't reveal Zuan's identity.
Bi Ziang's eyes lit up immediately: "That's right! Whether he is a grandson of the emperor or not is still in the hands of the court. They can say he is or they can say he isn't!"
The tension that had been building up completely dissipated, and I couldn't help but burst into laughter.
...
Rong Mo, who was waiting idly outside the courtyard, suddenly saw Bi Linglong come out and hurriedly went to greet her with a smile: "Miss...?"
She was completely stunned. Just a moment ago, the young lady was so happy. Why was her face so pale now, and her eyes seemed to have lost their sparkle?
Bi Linglong was somewhat distraught at this moment. Her father and brother seemed to still believe that Zu An was not a prince and did not know about these secrets from back then, but based on Zu An's unusual behavior earlier, he probably already knew.
In the end, she didn't tell her father and brothers about these things, because it would be pointless and would only make them live in fear and anxiety.
I'll take on all the pressure.
"Miss, Miss, don't scare me. What happened?" Seeing her like this, Rong Mo panicked.
“Let’s go to Jade Spring Mountain,” Bi Linglong said in a deep voice. She felt that there were some things she needed to clarify with her grandfather.
"Ah, going again? Miss has been there for almost two hours, which has already caused some controversy. And now you're going again..." Rong Mo was wondering if that Zu fellow was so good that Miss couldn't resist him, but before she could finish her sentence, the other party gave her a cold look.
In that instant, she felt a chill run down her spine and dared not joke around anymore: "Yes!"
Soon the Crown Princess's carriage headed towards Yuquan Mountain.
Halfway there, Bi Linglong's voice came from inside the carriage: "Let's not go anymore, let's go back to the palace."
Although Rong Mo was puzzled, he could see that the Crown Princess was preoccupied, so he dared not disturb her any further and silently ordered the convoy to turn around.
Meanwhile, in the Bi family, Bi Qi watched Bi Linglong's departing figure, his face dark and unreadable.
Bi Ziang was about to leave. He had been terribly frightened today and needed to find some friends to relax.
"Stop! You're just going to leave like that?" Bi Qi glared at him, somewhat annoyed by his son's lack of ambition. He had originally been quite satisfied with this son, as he was a first-rate figure among his peers in terms of both his interpersonal skills and his cultivation level.
But after Zuan suddenly appeared, he couldn't stand his son no matter what.
Zu'an is the same age as him, even younger, but Zi'ang probably will never be able to catch up with what he has achieved in his lifetime.
Compared to him, her son, whom she was usually so proud of, was nothing but a nobody.
"Wasn't the matter resolved?" Bi Ziang didn't understand why his father was so angry.
"It's not that simple," Biqi sneered. "Didn't you see what your sister did just now?"
"What's wrong?" Bi Ziang was taken aback. He had been in a state of highs and lows just now and hadn't had time to pay attention to her.
Seeing his reaction, Biqi felt a surge of anger rising in her stomach, which she barely managed to suppress: "Hmph, Linglong's reaction just now was a bit strange. She seemed about to say something several times but then stopped. Obviously, she was hiding something from us."
