He was tricked once before in Baihua Palace, and now he is really bitten by a snake once, and has been afraid of straw ropes for ten years.
So he hurriedly used the jade cong to control the small animals around him. Nowadays, there were the most cats around at night. He used the eyes of these cats to monitor the surrounding disturbances.
After confirming that there seemed to be no ambush in the palace, he sneaked in quietly.
Suddenly his heart skipped a beat, he stopped hurriedly, and hid behind a big tree.
Because through the cat's eyes, he saw a group of people walking this way, and the bright yellow figure in the center was clearly Emperor Zhao Hao!
The hair on Zu An's whole body was shaking. What did the queen mean? She invited him here, and then the emperor came again. Did she want to kill him?
He didn't dare to make a loud sound, and at the same time, he used the mirror to make his breath become lighter and lighter.
The emperor and his party passed by nearby, and there was nothing unusual about the others. The emperor suddenly stopped.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Eunuch Wen stepped forward and asked.
The emperor turned his head and looked at Zu An's hiding place with extremely sharp eyes: "How dare you break into the deep palace at night!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the big tree in front of Zu An fell into pieces. He subconsciously wanted to hide, but found that the air around him became extremely thick, as if there was an invisible force imprisoning him.
Something moved in his heart. Last time he was so immobilized that he seemed unable to move, but now it doesn't seem that exaggerated...
However, he did not dodge, but stood on the spot and said: "I have met the emperor!"
Only then did the guards around the emperor react. They drew their swords from their sheaths and quickly surrounded Zu An, but they were a little hesitant when they saw the embroidered messenger attire he was wearing.
The emperor frowned: "Is it you?"
Although Zu An now wears a mask, his cultivation level is as high as that of the emperor, and he no longer needs to rely on his eyes to recognize people.
"Why are you here?" His eyes were still sharp.
Zu An hurriedly replied: "The emperor sent me to investigate the case before, so I came here to look for some clues."
The emperor snorted: "Have you found the queen? Do you doubt her?"
"I don't dare," Zu An replied. "It's precisely because I don't dare to doubt the Queen, that I came here secretly to avoid being misunderstood that the Queen is related to this case."
"There are no rules." The emperor looked at Eunuch Wen next to him. "What should I do if the servant breaks into the concubine's palace at night?"
"Beheaded according to law!" Eunuch Wen glanced at Zu An and wondered if the embroidered messenger was out of his mind. He even risked his life in order to investigate the case.
Zu An's head jumped: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I am new to the palace and don't understand the rules of the palace. In addition, the deadline for solving the case is approaching, so I became anxious..."
In fact, he knew that the emperor still relied on him to handle many things, and he would never kill him just because of this. However, in front of other people, he still had to behave appropriately and at least give him a step down.
As expected, the emperor nodded: "Well, because you have extenuating circumstances, I will spare your life this time. However, if you are punished with death, you will not be able to escape. If you are punished with death, you will not be able to escape. Come, drag him down and beat him with fifty big boards, as a warning to others."
Zu An was shocked and angry, this guy was serious.
Damn it, ever since I entered Beijing, I have been forced by the emperor to do all kinds of things. Even the donkeys in the production team dare not use them like this.
The key is to give an empty-headed gold medalist the title, and then there will be no other carrots, and the rest will be sticks.
He originally wanted to say something, but the emperor had already turned around and entered Kunning Palace, giving him no chance to defend himself.
Zu An: "..."
Immediately afterwards, Eunuch Wen came to him with a group of fierce guards: "My lord, I have been offended."
He has always been kind and kind, and even in this situation, he didn't want to offend anyone casually. After all, even the emperor who broke into the palace at night could spare his life, which proved that this guy must be extraordinary.
However, extraordinary things must be done, and the things entrusted by the emperor must be done.
Several guards pushed Zu An to the ground, and then used the scabbard as a board to whip him.
Zu An's face was calm, but there was an evil fire in his heart.
In fact, this beating did not harm him at all, but could actually increase his strength.
But this feeling of suffocation is really fucking bad. After coming to the capital, he has been living a life where his life and death are in the hands of others.
Although he is open-minded and careless all day long, negative emotions still accumulate in his heart.
Today's incident became the straw that broke the camel's back.
The emperor clearly needed his help for a few important things, and he obviously would not kill him, but he still pretended to spare his life with a charitable look, and then gave him a slap in the face.
After all, he was still too weak. In the eyes of the emperor, he was probably just a slave who could be called around at will, or even just a dog, or a dog that was not so obedient.
That's why I often used various methods to beat him during these days. In fact, this is a normal emperor's mentality. If it were another person in this world, he would have been frightened and felt that the power of the emperor was unpredictable. From then on, he would work hard to serve the emperor.
But as a time traveler, Zu An has accepted the concept of equality of all people since he was a child, and was educated by princes and generals like Xiang Ning. In addition, he himself was an emperor in the secret realm, so how could he endure such a thing.
I want to be stronger!
This idea is clearer and stronger than at any other time.
At this time, in Kunning Palace, the queen was bringing Eunuch Lu to greet her: "I have met the emperor!"
The emperor looked at her with some surprise: "We haven't seen you for a while, Ning'er is getting more and more beautiful."
Today the queen seemed to have been dressed up deliberately, with delicately plucked eyebrows, red lips, and the clothes she wore were also very close-fitting, which vividly outlined her plump and plump curves.
Even though the emperor had seen all the beauties, he still felt a sense of amazement at this moment.
The Queen's cheeks were dizzy: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Eunuch Lu secretly glanced at the emperor and wondered if he was going to stay overnight in Kunning Palace today?
Tsk tsk tsk, I haven’t been here for many years, but I chose today. Is it really God’s will?
Seeing her autumn-filled eyes, the emperor did not answer, but glanced left and right: "Hey, why are there so few people in Kunning Palace today, and how come they are so busy in the dark?"
Eunuch Lu's heart skipped a beat and he looked at the queen with some worry.
On the contrary, the Queen was very calm and replied with a normal expression: "Some time ago, something happened to the Crown Princess. Everyone in Kunning Palace was busy investigating various things. Everyone was tired. Now that the matter has settled, we will give them a holiday to let them rest.
.”
The emperor smiled slightly: "The queen cares so much about her subordinates. She is really a model in the harem. Come and reward everyone in Kunning Palace with half a year's salary."
The queen hurriedly bowed: "I thanked the emperor for them. By the way, I wonder why the emperor thought of Kunning Palace today?"
The emperor replied: "I just had a whim today and stopped by to take a look when I was passing by. By the way, your injury still hasn't improved?"
The queen lowered her head with a sad look on her face: "I have accepted my fate."
The emperor said: "I will search for elixirs all over the world, and I will definitely cure your internal injuries from the past."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The Queen saluted with surprise and thanked her, but she was secretly sneering in her heart. She might have believed this a few years ago, but after so many years, she always used ordinary things to deal with her. She already understood.
, the emperor probably did it out of the need to check and balance his relatives, and did not want her to recover at all.
In this case, you can only find a solution yourself.
"By the way, I just heard the noise outside. I wonder what happened?" The queen was worried that he would notice something strange, so she hurriedly changed the subject.
"The blind embroidered messenger has been dealt with." The emperor seemed to be talking about a trivial matter.
The Queen was shocked. She immediately thought that she had also given Zu An a set of embroidered messenger clothes. Could it be him at this time?
Isn't this too unlucky?
All my plans came to nothing!
Although she was anxious, she did not show it at all, nor did she ask for any relevant information. After all, it would be strange for a queen like her to care so much about an embroidered messenger, and the guy in front of her was notoriously suspicious.
Then the two chatted for a while, and the emperor stood up and said, "Queen, please take good care of yourself. I will go back first."
The queen looked resentful: "Won't the emperor stay overnight?"
The emperor's eyebrows furrowed imperceptibly, and then he shook his head and said: "A lot of things have happened in the court recently, and there are still a lot of official affairs waiting for me to handle."
The queen looked as if she was like this, but of course she still looked respectful: "State affairs are of paramount importance, and I send you to the emperor respectfully!"
"Queen, stay!" The emperor hummed, then turned and left Kunning Palace.
Outside the palace, I happened to meet Zu An who had been punished. Eunuch Wen brought someone to report back.
The emperor hummed, and then looked at Zu An: "Be more careful in the future. The palace is no better than the outside. If there are some opportunities again, I can't protect you."
This guy comes from a humble background, but his temper is too wild, so he needs to be beaten from time to time.
Zu An is knocking your mother all the time!
How could he, who was so familiar with the emperor's mind, not see through his methods? It was obvious that he wanted to embarrass me, but in the end he acted like a huge kindness.
Of course, I felt MMP in my heart, but my face couldn't express it at all: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."
Seeing his weak look, the emperor left with satisfaction. It seemed that the effect of the beating was quite good.
Zu An stayed where he was and meditated, adjusting his breath and running the Hongmeng Yuanshi Jing. Injuries from previous life-and-death battles could be healed quickly. This kind of skin trauma was nothing. Soon the skin and flesh on the wound would heal.
, only some hard scabs on the surface remain.
But after recovering from his injuries, the anger in his heart did not subside at all. His face was as dark as water, and all kinds of thoughts that others seemed to be rebellious filled his mind.
He wants to become stronger and can no longer let his life and death be controlled by other people's thoughts.
At this moment, a wisp of refreshing fragrance hit me. When I looked up, I saw the beautiful and plump queen already standing in front of me: "Are you okay?"
