I have a few words I'd like to say, but I don't know if I should.
At this moment, Zu'an felt as if a thousand alpacas were galloping through his mind. "I'm so stupid, so incredibly stupid. I've been in contact with the emperor for so long, and I still don't understand how low his morals are."
If the keyboard system could receive his anger level, it would probably be a series of 1024s by now.
Seeing Zu'an's expression, the emperor felt a surge of pleasure. With his status and cultivation, how long had it been since he had felt this good?
He coughed lightly and continued, "But you don't need to worry. This restriction won't activate for a while. As long as you do your job well for me, I will remove it for you afterwards."
Zu An cursed inwardly, "I don't believe you! That old bastard is wicked!" He knew that even if he did the job well, the emperor wouldn't easily lift the ban. He would definitely use it to blackmail him into doing other things until he was no longer of any use...
But his face still appropriately showed tears of gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The emperor nodded in satisfaction; he enjoyed the feeling of controlling life and death. "Step down!"
"Yes!" Zu An left the Imperial Study respectfully, but with a belly full of complaints.
As he passed the main gate, Eunuch Wen smiled and nodded at him, but in Zu An's eyes, that kind smile was extremely sinister and terrifying.
Sigh, I wonder what role this Eunuch Wen is playing.
After leaving the Imperial Study, he did not return to the East Palace, but instead walked towards the courtyard of the Eleventh Golden Medal.
After walking for a while, he frowned again, and the feeling of being followed and monitored surged up again.
He subtly controlled the nearby birds to observe, but did not see any suspicious persons.
Am I overthinking it?
Zuan scratched his head. He'd been under too much pressure lately and was starting to have some paranoia.
However, he still dared not be careless. He circled the palace several times, using different animals to monitor him from time to time, but still did not find anyone following or monitoring him.
He breathed a sigh of relief and headed towards the Eleventh Courtyard of the Golden Medal. He wanted to inform Yun Jianyue about Sun Luzhen's group and try to get her out of the palace.
Although he was very reluctant to see such a beautiful woman, as radiant as the moon in the clouds, leave, the emperor was too cunning. If he were to discover her, he would be doomed. After what had just happened in the imperial study, he dared not take any more risks.
Looking at the courtyard hidden in the grove in the distance, Zu An felt a sense of home, especially the thought of a woman waiting for him to return every day; that feeling was truly wonderful.
However, remembering the strange palpitation he had felt earlier, he decided to be on the safe side and didn't go in directly. Instead, he pretended to walk past.
After walking a short distance and finding nothing amiss, he was about to turn back when he heard Yun Jianyue's voice transmitted through his spiritual energy: "Don't turn around, someone is following you."
Zuan: "???"
It seems someone really is following us. After all, Yun Jianyue is a Grandmaster, and his injuries have healed somewhat, so his spiritual senses are much more sensitive than his.
"Do you know who it is? Is it a chubby, fair-skinned old man?" Zu An asked telepathically.
“That person is extremely skilled in concealment. My injuries haven’t fully healed yet, so I can’t pinpoint his location or see him, but I know he’s there.” Yun Jianyue’s voice was cool yet carried a hint of alluring mature woman charm, making it a truly pleasant auditory experience.
But at this moment, Zuan had no intention of enjoying himself at all; instead, the hairs on his body stood on end.
Keep in mind that he tried various methods to detect the pursuers behind him along the way, but still couldn't find a trace of them, which shows how skilled they were.
He has too many secrets. It's terrifying to think that such a terrifying guy is secretly watching him.
"Why don't we lure him out and take him down together?" Zu An rejected the suggestion as soon as he finished speaking. Now that the emperor was in the palace, it would be difficult to hide anything from him. Once Yun Jianyue made a move, his aura would be too obvious.
"I have a way, wait a moment." After Yun Jianyue finished speaking, she fell silent. Not long after, the courtyard gate creaked open.
Zuan's eyes widened immediately. What was going on?
He turned around and saw a masked, gold-plated embroidered messenger walk out from inside.
"Did another gold-medal envoy come into my room to investigate?" Zu An was startled, but he immediately realized that these were his clothes, so it was obvious who this person was. No wonder Yun Jianyue had specifically asked him for a set of clothes before.
Yun Jianyue was tall and slender, and her embroidered robes served to conceal her identity, so when she impersonated Gold Medal Eleven, it was almost impossible to detect any flaws.
Zuan's gaze lingered on her, wondering where her hip-length hair was hidden. As for her figure—actually, her clothes covered her up completely, so it wasn't very clear what her figure was, but that didn't stop Zuan from imagining her graceful curves.
The uniform of the Gold Medal Embroidered Envoy is already very handsome. It used to be worn by men, but now that women wear it, it has a unique charm.
Is it about uniform fetish, like the female investigator series?
A string of words popped into Zuan's mind, but he immediately shook his head, realizing that now was not the time to think about these things.
At this moment, Zu An's eyes darted around, and he went straight up to him: "So it's Lord Eleven. The Crown Prince and Crown Princess were saved by you last time, and we are so grateful."
Yun Jianyue tilted her head and looked at him, thinking to herself that this guy was really a drama queen. She lowered her voice and gave an impatient "hmm".
With her experience in the martial arts world, as long as she doesn't speak at length, it won't be easy for people to tell whether she's male or female.
Zu An cupped his hands in greeting: "It seems you have important matters to attend to, sir. I will not disturb you any longer. Please make yourself at home."
