It's important to know that Jiang Luofu knew him back in Mingyue City, and now that she's working under him at the National Academy, it's extremely dangerous for her.
The King of Wu's expression was also quite interesting. In fact, Zu'an had always been a thorn in his side, especially when he thought about how he had personally sent his wife to Zu'an's room in order to find out the secret of the Phoenix Nirvana Sutra. At the time, he thought Zu'an was just a nobody and that he could just kill him afterward.
Who knew he would grow to this extent afterward!
During the ambush in the capital last time, Yuqing even turned against him to save him, which clearly shows that she has fallen in love with that guy.
Just once, just once, is it possible for him to make his usually loving wife completely devoted to him?
King Wu was consumed by jealousy and regret whenever he thought about this, but unfortunately, the man surnamed Zu was too powerful, and he had no ability to retaliate.
Until last night, he finally saw a glimmer of hope.
But now he was even happier, because even the empress had been defiled by him. If even the emperor had to suffer such humiliation, then he was no longer alone.
What exactly is that guy's ability that makes women so fascinated?
The most frustrated people in the main hall were probably the Qin family. Zu An was officially the son-in-law of the Chu family. Although the two had divorced, everyone knew that it was just a temporary measure. Over the years, the Regent, Chu Chuyan, and the Qin family members had all had a good relationship.
The Qin family, being Chu Chuyan's maternal family, had their son-in-law cheating on them, and even cheating on them with the Empress...
Sigh, it's just attending court, why does it feel like I'm being cuckolded?
At this moment, Bi Linglong coughed lightly, finally calming down a bit: "Indeed, there were some rumors in the past that there was something between me and the Regent, but the Grand Master personally testified for us, and the late Emperor also supervised, which shows that we are innocent. I suppose the Emperor heard some slander from somewhere, and my beloved ministers must not take it seriously. I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly."
Upon hearing this, the Prince of Yi's expression changed slightly. He thought to himself that his two little brats, who were already in their forties, still couldn't distinguish between what was important and what was not. This was going to be a disaster.
The others chimed in, "Yes, Your Majesty!"
However, everyone became increasingly gossipy, as the Empress's explanation was reasonable and impeccable from any perspective.
But that's how it is with many things; the more you explain, the more guilty people will think you are.
Originally, when the chief priest came out to testify, everyone thought there was nothing wrong with it. But now, thinking about the context, the old chief priest passed the position to Zu'an before he died. It seems that the relationship between the two was extraordinary. Given the old chief priest's style of doing things back then, he probably had already designated him as his successor.
So after those rumors came out, what's wrong with him lying once in order to protect Zuan?
Besides, even if nothing happened between them back then, what happened later?
After the late emperor's death, the empress and the regent held all the power in the palace, and the regent, who frequently entered and exited the palace, had far too many opportunities.
Looking back, when he was still the Crown Prince's son, the Regent Prince often visited the Crown Princess's palace and had many interactions with her.
Compared to Zhao Ruizhi, that silly fat guy, the Regent is handsome and dashing, and more importantly, his cultivation is unparalleled. Which young girl could resist his charm?
Previously, it was only Bi Linglong's identity and her exceptionally mature and rational political skills that made everyone subconsciously overlook the fact that she was still a young girl.
Now, after being enlightened by Zhao Ruizhi, I finally have a sense of sudden realization.
These two are such a perfect match!
Seeing the strange looks and expressions on the faces of the ministers below the stage, Bi Linglong could roughly guess what they were thinking, and she almost fainted from anger.
These old foxes with unhealthy ideas are truly despicable!
But the fact that she and Zuan had something to do with each other was true, making her feel guilty even when she wanted to refute it.
Left with no other choice, he could only snort with a straight face:
"Not a single word of what happened today is to be leaked. If I hear any rumors, I will punish them severely!"
"Court adjourned!"
She didn't want to stay in that hall for even a second longer!
As Bi Linglong fled with a frosty expression, the ministers in the hall all had a hint of a smile in their eyes.
She panicked, she panicked!
She's still just a young girl.
Bi Linglong returned to her palace with a stern face. None of the palace maids around her dared to say a word, and even Rong Mo didn't dare to try to persuade her.
"Summon Lord Bi to see me!"
After giving an order, he locked himself in the room and forbade anyone from entering.
Then he buried himself under the covers, covered his head, and rolled around on the bed, leaving only his legs kicking wildly outside:
"Ugh, this is so embarrassing!"
