Liu Ning looked worried: "Do you think something might have really happened to the Regent?"
Eunuch Lü bowed and said, "Your Majesty is overly concerned. The Regent's divine skills are unparalleled. Even if all the experts of the demon race are dead, the Regent will surely return safely."
Hearing his answer, Liu Ning visibly breathed a sigh of relief: "I hope so."
...
Meanwhile, after the two left the palace, Liu Yao couldn't help but say to Liu Guang, "Brother, Ning'er seems to trust that guy surnamed Zu a lot. Could it be that she has fallen for him?"
Liu Guang snorted: "That Zu fellow is handsome and promising at a young age. Ning'er is lonely in the deep palace, so it's normal for her to fall for him. However, as the Empress Dowager, she should know that she can't do anything wrong."
It's no wonder he felt somewhat dissatisfied. Ever since that kid Zu'an gained power, he had never paid him a special visit, clearly showing his contempt for the Liu family. They were not on the same side, so why should he share the blame with him this time?
“That’s true. Ning’er has been sensible since she was little and can definitely tell what’s important,” Liu Yao said with a smile.
"By the way, Ning'er's concerns are not without merit. Keep a close eye on things these days. I don't think the Bi family or that brat Wu Wang are people who are content with a simple life," Liu Guang reminded them before they parted.
"I understand, brother." Liu Yao readily agreed, thinking he would just send his men to keep an eye on the matter.
As for himself, of course he couldn't possibly keep an eye on things. There are so many fun things to do in the glamorous world of the capital. He finally managed to get to his current position. If he were to do everything himself now, wouldn't all his hard work back then have been for nothing?

Bai Yujing and Yan Xuehen were meditating in their room. Although they had been rescued by Zu An today, they still needed to take care of their health.
She channeled her inner energy into refining what she had gained that day, secretly lamenting how shameful it was that Zuan had saved her in such a humiliating way.
The images from that time flashed through her mind, and her internal energy immediately became disordered, frightening her into regaining her composure.
Just then, a knock came at the door, and Zu An's voice rang out from outside: "Xuehen..."
Yan Xuehen's cheeks immediately burned, and she hurriedly said, "I will keep my promise to you, but not today. I... I can't take it anymore."
Zuan outside the door: "..."
"I've only come to say goodbye."
"Huh?" Yan Xuehen was so embarrassed that she almost dug a three-bedroom apartment out of the floor.
