Listening to Zhou Anyan, the empress's pupils shrank suddenly and she stared at Zhou An.

No blame or doubt. She just didn't understand the intention of what Zhou An said, let alone how could Zhou An dare to say such words in front of Kang Longji?

Let’s not talk about other consequences of telling Kanglongi’s health, but this is definitely not a good thing for Kanglongi!

As a great master of Tiangang Realm, Kang Longji is extremely powerful and is the current Dinghai Dingjian needle for the Donggan royal family and the Donggan country! He is too old and everyone understands that once Kang Longji has physical problems, he will be far from death.

If the outsider knew about this, then Kang Longji would be targeted. No one dared to do this before, and Wu Xukuan didn't dare because Kang Longji was too strong, but now Kang Longji is not good, so Wu Xukuan naturally dared to do it.

He even dared to send someone to assassinate Kanglongi, not to kill Kanglongi, but to just try how much Kanglongi's strength has declined, or to cause some damage to Kanglongi and speed up his death. It is also good.

The hall was silent.

The empress looked at Zhou An and pondered, but turned around and looked at Kang Longji.

Kanglongi's expression was indifferent and without any turmoil.

"Little Anzi!" The empress looked at Zhou An again and asked, "What is your purpose?"

"Report to the Master, I know that the Grand Duke is in good health and should have tried his best to hide it. Because the Grand Duke is a powerful weapon to control the country, if you don't, Wu Xukuan will definitely be even more rampant and will further force the Grand Duke... On the other hand, the Grand Duke is a restraint for Wu Xukuan. If the slave says something disrespectful, Wu Xukuan hopes that the Grand Duke will die!"

Zhou An said this and looked up at the empress's eyes: "If the grandfather's health is ill, if Wu Xukuan knew, he would be ecstatic. He would even change his original plan for this and wait for the grandfather to die! Wu Xukuan showed his rebellious intentions when Emperor Shendu was seriously ill. It has been four or five years now. He has been waiting for four or five years, so he definitely doesn't care about waiting for a few more months..."

"In other words, if the news spreads, it can achieve the effect of procrastination, which is enough to hold Wu Xukuan and slow down his plan. Wu Xukuan will definitely wait and wait for the death of the grandfather before acting. This is also the least dangerous and the best plan for him!"

"And, Wu Xukuan must be afraid. He is afraid that the grandfather will fight for him before his death, so he will become more cautious. It can even be said that he will become more tolerant! He will temporarily put away his fangs. Even if the emperor further erodes Wu Xukuan's power during this period, Wu Xukuan may endure it!"

"The reason why the slave suggests this is because of this." Zhou An said, his voice slowing down, and then he said, "And this is just one, and there are two!"

"It is revealed to the outside world that the grandfather is in good health, which can not only delay Wu Xukuan, but also create illusions and conceal the matter about breaking the elixir." Zhou An said again.

"At present, the success rate of slaves is not high. The slaves need to constantly refine and become more mature before they can refine large quantities of alchemy. The cost is extremely large. However, the various precious medicinal materials used to refine broken pills are not much stored in the inner palace, so they must be purchased from outside... and they are purchased in large quantities."

"So, the matter of slaves refining alchemy cannot be hidden. As long as you purchase a large amount of precious medicinal materials, you will definitely find something with Wu Xukuan's connections and eyeliners, but you must not let Wu Xukuan find out the inside story of Tiance Army and the Broken Pill... Therefore, it is necessary to transfer Wu Xukuan's investigation direction."

"If you reveal the affairs of the Grand Prince, you can achieve the purpose of diverting the direction of tracing the investigation and sending out the news. Wu Xukuan knew that the grand Prince's life was not long. When he knew about the slave's alchemy, he would definitely think that the slave's alchemy was to save the grand Prince! He wanted to prolong his life for the grand Prince, which would make everything reasonable. In this way, the matter of breaking the elixir can be completely concealed and not known."

Zhou An looked at the empress and finally said, "Your Majesty, you need time now. Even if the slave handed over the pill recipe to others and refined the pills with a group of alchemists, it would take a very long time to refine thousands of pills. It is not necessarily true whether you can even purchase enough precious medicinal materials in a short period of time... and releasing the news that the grandfather is in good health is also to gain enough time for the priest. This is the best strategy!"

Zhou An finished speaking.

He said nothing wrong!

This is indeed the best strategy.

However, this involves the safety of Konlongi.

The hall returned to silence again.

Zhou An lowered his head and waited for the empress to reply.

To be honest, Zhou An was able to say this today, not for himself, but for the sake of the Donggan Kingdom. If he had done his own thing, it would have been impossible for him to say such things that would make Kang Longji feel irritable.

If he doesn't say it, he won't make mistakes. This is the first time he took the initiative to "make mistakes" in front of the empress.

The Empress was speechless for a long time.

She didn't look back to see Kanglongi because she didn't want to force Kanglongi. Kanglongi devoted her whole life to the court. The empress was able to successfully ascend the throne because of Kanglongi's full support. Kanglongi protected the empress to this day. Kanglongi was not a slave to the empress, but a wise man, an elder, one could rely on, and a guardian god!

He is also a person who must not disappoint him.

Kanglongi has been teaching the empress not to act emotionally.

The empress has always been like this.

But people are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless?

This matter is related to the safety of Kanglongi, how could the empress be completely rational?

"Sage." Kang Longji, who was standing behind, suddenly spoke. He was very calm. "Old Nu thinks that Xiao Anzi is right..."

"Mr. Kang..." The empress suddenly turned around.

"It's decided." Kanglongi looked at the empress and said. He had never given orders on behalf of the empress in public. Although he would have decided on some major things for the empress before, it was the empress who nodded, and the final decision must be the empress.

This is the first, and probably the last time.

The empress pursed her lips and was speechless.

"It's all gone." Kanglongi said lightly again.

"I'll leave at the end!"

"The slave takes his leave!"

Zhou An, Gao Hong and others bowed to the order and all retreated out.

Soon everyone went out. Apart from some eunuchs and palace maids, only Kang Longji and the Empress were left in the hall.

...

Outside Qianyuan Hall, Zhou An looked at the railings, and the bitter cold wind hit his face, and his face was full of melancholy.

He didn't know if he was right to say these things today.

In terms of theory, he is not wrong.

But I always feel that I am a little sorry for Kang Longji. After today, Kang Longji, who is already in poor health, is at risk of being assassinated. Although the probability of this situation is very low, if Kang Longji really has something unexpected, Zhou An doesn't know how to atone for his sins.

Zhou An respected Kanglongi very much, and he was also grateful to Kanglongi for his support. He understood that without Kanglongi's approval, he would not have the power of today, and it would not have been possible to reach this position today.

And both openly and secretly, Kanglongi has regarded him as his successor.

so……

"Oh!" Zhou An sighed.

Bang!

He kept pressing his big hand on Zhou An's shoulder. Zhou An turned his head and saw that it was Gao Hong.

Gao Hong looked at Zhou An, pinched Zhou An's shoulder, patted him lightly twice, as if comforting him, but he didn't say anything, and turned around and left.

Zhou An was speechless and looked out the railing again.

After waiting for a cup of tea, the gate of Qianyuan Palace opened again.
Chapter completed!
