Bi Linglong felt a little guilty, thinking that this was why he was like this. He must have been in great pain last night, and I was still angry because of him...
Thinking of this, Bi Linglong blushed and looked at Zu An apologetically.
Zuan was somewhat bewildered, wondering why her attitude had changed so drastically. A young girl's mind is truly like the weather in June—anger can come suddenly, and so can calm down just as quickly.
At this moment, Jiang Luofu's voice rang out again: "Although you don't look well, you are much better than we expected. At least you are not in any danger. You have no idea how worried that Chu family boy was."
“Youzhao?” Zuan was taken aback. “How did she get involved with you?”
You should know that the two of them didn't get along very well before.
Jiang Luofu smiled and said, "He was worried about your safety, but he couldn't come to the palace to visit you, so he could only find out about the situation through me. By the way, this is a gift he asked me to bring for you."
As he spoke, he took out a talisman from his pocket and handed it to her: "This is a longevity talisman that he specially went to the temple to get for you, to protect you and keep you safe and sound. Speaking of which, this young man from the Chu family is really thoughtful, just like a girl."
Zu An's heart skipped a beat. He thought he should find an opportunity to remind his sister-in-law that although she had a magical artifact to disguise her appearance, many of her behaviors still had flaws.
He took the amulet, feeling a warm glow inside, but said, "Why didn't you send something nice to eat? What's the use of this thing?"
Jiang Luofu rolled her eyes: "You're really wasting his good intentions. Young Master Chu gave you more than just this talisman. He also prepared a whole bunch of tonics and medicines. Unfortunately, it's inconvenient for me to bring them into the palace, so I only took this thousand-year-old ginseng. It should be helpful for your recovery."
Then she took out another pill: "This is a Lesser Rejuvenation Pill that Murong Qinghe entrusted me to bring you. It is a fine medicine for healing injuries."
At this moment, Bi Linglong also spoke up: "When did Lord Zu become so close to the young lady of the Murong family? She even gave away such precious pills."
Although she was smiling, there was a hint of coldness in her tone.
Zu An, with his strong survival instinct, immediately said, "That little girl's heart is entirely devoted to Chu Youzhao. This time, she's just trying to please her brother Chu because she loves him."
Upon hearing this, Bi Linglong's expression immediately softened: "Really, she gave you such an expensive gift and you still say such things about her."
Zuan: "..."
You're the one who got angry, and now you're blaming me?
Sigh, being a man is really tough.
Wait, why am I feeling guilty in front of her?
Jiang Luofu also glanced at the two of them with a strange look in her eyes. She felt that their relationship was a bit odd, but no matter how vivid her imagination was, she would never have imagined that the Crown Princess would have anything to do with Zu An.
She then took out another sachet: "Oh, by the way, this is a gift from Daoyun."
Upon seeing the obvious woman's sachet, Bi Linglong's expression turned cold again.
Anger from Bi Linglong: +33 +33 +33...
Zuan took the sachet. It had a faint, elegant fragrance. Each of these women had their own unique scent, which complemented their personalities.
“What are you staring at like that for?” Jiang Luofu waved her hand in front of him. “The gift Daoyun gave you is inside.”
Zuan was taken aback. After opening the sachet, he found another talisman inside. This talisman was different from the one Chu Youzhao had asked for at the temple. It was written by a real talisman master.
Just holding it in your hand, you can feel a cool sensation.
Jiang Luofu explained, "This is a calming talisman personally written by Xie Daoyun. Carrying it with you will make your mind more peaceful and focused, whether you are healing or cultivating. This will indirectly improve the speed of your healing and cultivation. She was worried that it would be inconvenient for you to carry this talisman with you every day, so she put it in this sachet to prevent it from being damaged."
"Then I'll trouble Principal Sister to thank her for me." Zu An put the sachet into his pocket. Unfortunately, he wasn't injured, and his cultivation was different from others, so the talisman was almost useless to him. However, the other party's intention was very good, so he naturally had to put it away carefully.
Seeing him put the sachet into his pocket, Bi Linglong turned her face away. She didn't really understand why she was angry. Logically speaking, there was no future between the two of them, but she always had an uncomfortable feeling, as if her toy had been touched by someone else.
Jiang Luofu smiled and said, "You can express your gratitude to her when you are able to leave the palace yourself. I suppose she doesn't want me to thank her."
Bi Linglong immediately perked up her ears. Judging from what she was saying, it seemed that there really was something between the two of them.
This womanizer, how come he attracts women so easily?
Seeing the string of angry messages in the background, Zu'an quickly changed the subject: "Haha, so many other people have given me so many gifts, aren't you going to reciprocate?"
"Doesn't my sister's visit count as a gift?" Jiang Luofu said with a smile. "Besides, the gifts they sent have already covered everything. I really can't think of anything good, so I'll just owe them for now."
Zuan let out a sound of surprise: "What you said makes so much sense, I'm speechless."
Jiang Luofu stood up and said, "Alright, I've seen it all and conveyed the greetings on behalf of others, so I won't keep you from resting any longer."
Zuan said, "Actually, it would be great if you could stay a little longer and chat with me."
He's currently under house arrest in the palace, not really to recover from his injuries, and he's getting so bored he's practically starving.
Jiang Luofu chuckled and said, "Your current status is special, and you shouldn't be receiving guests. I'm only doing this because of the Crown Princess, so I can't make things difficult for her. We can get together again when you've recovered."
