Keyboard Immortal Chapter 904: New task

It's a pity that she couldn't show it at all. Instead, she could only say with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Zu, for your concern. There is no major problem with my body. I can recover with a lot of training."

Rong Mo, the maid on the side, was a little puzzled: "Hey, Crown Princess, you have more gray hair. If Master Zu can cure it, let him cure it as soon as possible..."

Before she finished speaking, Bi Linglong glared at her: "Shut up!"

Rong Mo looked depressed, but he didn't dare to say that the Crown Princess was wrong, so he could only stare at Zaan with a pouted mouth, and muttered, "It's all my fault, he only speaks pretty scenes and misunderstands me. Shame."

"How is the prince's body?" Zu Zhan asked pretentiously. After all, in front of so many people, he only cared about the prince's appearance.

"Thanks to Lord Zu's hard work, although the prince suffered some injuries, his life was not affected, but he was frightened in the secret realm. Now he would have nightmares and talk nonsense in the middle of the night from time to time. The imperial doctor has prescribed some calmness. After a period of recuperation, it should be able to recover." Bi Linglong responded formulaically, and at the same time took the opportunity to praise Zaan's credit, and sure enough, after hearing it, others looked at Zaan with envious eyes. At this time, she Heart is also quite comfortable.

"It's fine." Of course, Zaan didn't really care about the prince. Thinking of what he saw when he entered the palace, he asked, "I heard that the monsters have invaded?"

"Yes," Bi Linglong's expression was also a little dignified, "the news just came back to Beijing last night that the demon clan broke through the northern defense line and even slaughtered the important border town of Mobei City."

"Slaughtering the city?" Zaan's face was a little unsightly. He had only seen such a word in history books before, but he never expected to experience it up close one day.

"Yes, don't leave chickens and dogs, the demon clansmen are really hateful!" Bi Linglong's eyes flashed with hatred.

"What is the court going to do?" Zaan asked.

Bi Linglong replied: "In the early days, those people fought fiercely, but they were basically the main battles. I have never suffered such a big loss since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Even the students of the National Academy ran to the gate of the palace to petition, and they were willing to go to the front line to kill the monsters. But of course the court did not agree. The blood stains of the National Academy are the pillars of the future of the country, how can they be sacrificed on the front line in advance. "

"I heard that the candidate for this expedition is likely to be Duke Cheng?" Zaan asked.

Bi Linglong's face changed slightly, and she waved her hand to let the others go down, but she had to keep a maid Rong Mo by her side to show her innocence: "Yes, as expected, it should be Duke Cheng, the entire court, In terms of fame and seniority, there is no more suitable person than Duke Cheng.”

Zuan asked tentatively, "The Duke of Cheng is also a good thing for the East Palace."

Bi Linglong shook her head and gave him a deep look: "It may have been a good thing before, but now it may not be."

Zuan was stunned, and immediately reacted. In the secret realm, they experienced hostility to the emperor, so it is in their best interest now that the emperor and the king of Qi balance each other.

Rong Mo on the side looked at Zaan for a while and looked at Bi Linglong for a while, wondering if what they were saying was a hoax, why I don't quite understand it.

The three had their own thoughts, and the room fell into a strange silence.

After a while, a maid suddenly came to report: "Report to the Crown Princess, there is news from the imperial study, and the emperor has summoned Mr. Zu."

Rong Mo couldn't help but said sourly: "Master Zu is really deeply blessed, and the five emperors will summon you every three minutes."

She has served the crown princess conscientiously in the palace for so many years, but the emperor has never summoned her alone.

Zuan replied, "No way. With great power comes great responsibility."

Rongmo: "..."

Feeling as if offended.

Bi Linglong has a worried look on her face, only she knows that this does not necessarily mean favor, and she whispers with vitality: "Be careful."

Zuan smiled at her: "Don't worry, I have to heal and recover for you, why would you be willing to have an accident ahead of time?"

Bi Linglong spat secretly, rascal!

Rong Mo on the side had a strange expression. She also saw Zaan's inexplicable smile. Of course, she would not think that Zaan dared to molest the Crown Princess so boldly. Could it be that you have a coveted heart for this girl's beauty?

Well, the toad wants to eat swan meat.

Zuan went all the way to the imperial study. When he met Eunuch Wen, he nodded, and Eunuch Wen also smiled back, but when the other party entered the room, he quietly shook his head.

Even Zhu Xie could feel the change in the emperor's preferences. As the emperor's confidant, how could he not notice the change in the emperor's attitude towards Zu An?

"I've seen the emperor!" After entering the imperial study, Zaan noticed that the emperor's face was covered with ice, and he was obviously in a bad mood.

"Sit!" said the emperor, pointing to the stool beside him.

Zuan was a little "flattered" at the time. It was the first time he was given a seat after entering the imperial study so many times, right?

However, he woke up immediately, and when something unusual happened, he was a demon.

He had also been an emperor for many years in the Yin Ruins Secret Realm, and he immediately realized that this was a common method used by emperors. He clearly had murderous intentions against you, but instead he used all kinds of favors to show his favor and use it to make you careless.

Zuan is a little puzzled. Could it be that the secret realm has been exposed?

No, if those things are exposed, the emperor will definitely tear him to pieces on the spot, instead of playing with these idiots.

That should be his instinct as an emperor, worried about the exposure of the soul split, and didn't want the survivors who passed through the secret realm to survive.

And he needs me now, so that's why he's so vain and condescending.

"Is your injury well?" the emperor asked kindly.

Zuan replied: "Thanks to the care of the imperial physicians, although he has not fully recovered, he is barely able to move freely."

The other party was so amiable that it was quite discreet. On the contrary, it was more reassuring to be threatened and intimidated before... Hey, this idea seems a bit cheap.

"That's fine,"

The emperor nodded, "Just now there is a task for you to do."

Zu Anxin thought it was true, but the emotions in his heart did not show at all: "I don't know what task."

The emperor said: "There was an incident in Prince Qi's mansion a few days ago. King Qi's concubine drowned in the pond in the middle of the night. This matter is very strange. You can investigate it and give King Qi justice."

Zuan's expression is weird, and God is giving King Qi justice. When did you two become such brothers and sisters?

Death in Prince Qi's mansion, even if it's not an accident, it must have something to do with Prince Qi. Now to investigate this case, it's clear that it was for Prince Qi.

He said with some embarrassment: "Isn't this kind of thing Zongzheng's side to ask about? King Qi's side concubine has a distinguished status, and it is not very convenient for us embroidered messengers to ask about it."

He wanted the emperor and King Qi to check and balance each other, and he didn't want to run into the middle of the two to charge into battle.

The emperor shook his head: "This time, you are not using the identity of Gold 11 to investigate the case, but your original identity."

Zuan: "???"

What a joke, I just experienced the secret realm, others don't know about it, King Qi must have wiped out the masters of the clear faction, and the only survivor, Zuan, is the biggest suspect, saying Maybe he will get rid of it when he sees it, and at this time, he went to the Qiwang Mansion to investigate the case.

The emperor said lightly: "I asked you to hand over the fake "Phoenix Nirvana Sutra" to King Qi. How is the progress?"

Zuan said with a headache: "I haven't found any suitable opportunity to give him the fake secrets."

The emperor glanced at him: "So I give you this opportunity now. When you go to Prince Qi's mansion to investigate the case, you will have many opportunities to contact Prince Qi. You must give him the fake secret book as soon as possible and reasonably."

Zuan fell into silence. He understood why the other party was so anxious. The emperor was not so anxious before, because he was strong enough to suppress King Qi perfectly, but he lost a soul in the secret realm, although I don't know the exact extent, but it will obviously damage his strength. Maybe now he is not fully sure of suppressing King Qi, so he needs to use fake cheats to help.

It's no wonder that he didn't announce the actions of Prince Qi's mansion in the secret realm before. It turns out that the most fundamental reason is here.

Seeing that he has not spoken, the emperor's eyebrows are raised: "Why, is there a problem?"

Zuan looked up, a smile on his face: "No problem, I'll do my best!"

That's good, there is just a chance to get close to King Qi. If you want to check and balance the two sides, you obviously don't have enough chips on King Qi's side. Maybe this time, you can take the opportunity to improve your relationship with King Qi.

The emperor frowned. He always felt that the other party's smile was a little weird. For the first time, he felt unpredictable.

He shook his head, thinking it must be an illusion, this little gangster is controlled by my life and death, how can it be so profound: "Okay, you step back and act as soon as possible."
