Daji: "..."
After washing up, Zu An went to the palace. His first purpose was to inquire with the Imperial Hospital about Wu Yangyu and Qinghuo Flower, and his second purpose was to meet with Bi Linglong and exchange feelings.
However, upon arriving at the palace, he noticed a somber atmosphere pervading the place.
He hurriedly inquired with the palace guards, who, knowing he was now a favorite, didn't hide anything and began to explain in a flurry:
"Last night, an urgent military report arrived in the capital from eight hundred li away. I heard that a major event has occurred in the north. The demon race, which has been dormant for many years, has suddenly raised an army and marched south, breaking through the defense line of the Great Wall. They have been burning, killing, and looting along the way, and have even massacred a city."
"Damn demons! As expected, those who are not of our kind are sure to have different hearts. If I had known, His Majesty should have exterminated those demons back then."
"It's not that easy. The demon race is also very powerful. After their defeat, they hid in the far north, and there was nothing we could do about it."
Will the Emperor personally lead the expedition this time?
"How could that be? I think it's most likely that the Duke of Cheng is leading the army."
“Indeed, given the Duke of Cheng’s reputation in the army, he is probably the only one who can be chosen.”
...
Hearing their discussion, Zu An had a sudden thought. The Duke of Cheng was Qin Zheng, Chu Youzhao's maternal grandfather. Sang Qian had just mentioned that the first family the emperor would target was the Qin family. Now, Qin Zheng was to be transferred to the border. Was this intentional or just a coincidence?
He arrived at the Imperial Hospital, but unfortunately, none of the imperial physicians he asked had ever heard of Wu Yangyu or Qinghuo Flower.
However, one of the imperial physicians suggested, "I'm not sure about the Qinghuo flower, but there is someone who might know about Wu Yangyu. The Yu family runs a jade business all over the world, and Madam Yu Yanluo is the helmsman of the jade business. If there is anyone in the world who knows about Wu Yangyu, it will definitely be her."
Zu An's heart stirred, and a stunningly beautiful figure appeared in his mind. He couldn't help but smile, thinking, "This woman is indeed destined for me."
With progress made, Zuan felt much more relaxed and made his way to the East Palace.
Upon seeing him, Bi Linglong's eyes lit up at first, but she quickly calmed down and said in a light tone, "Lord Zu suffered such serious injuries, he should take good care of himself. Why did you come to the East Palace so soon?"
Zu An laughed and said, "I'm thick-skinned and this injury is nothing. On the contrary, I can't sleep at night and I'm always thinking about how to heal the Crown Princess because I didn't protect her properly."
Two faint blushes appeared on Bi Linglong's pretty face. Of course she knew what method to use to treat her illness. This bastard flirted with her in front of so many people.
