I became the tyrant's only belief.

Chapter 122 Deliberately Making Things Big

[Ah, Master Zhu is in such a pity that he was almost killed by his daughter. Now he dares not plead for her. In order to protect the family, he can only pretend that he never gave birth to this daughter.]

Chu Liuzheng was walking around the room while fiddling with the system.

[By the way, is this Ambassador Ainiwar of Gaochang State mentally ill? He actually believed in the existence of a Phoenix Girl and wanted to secretly bring her back to the country to help the Emperor of Gaochang unify the country. He even made a serious plan. When the Hercules Princess found out, she slapped him in the corner and he woke up.]

[Tsk tsk, this ambassador went behind the tyrant's back to communicate with the officials of Sheng State, trying to buy firearms from Han Ruoyu. He hasn't even scratched the lice off his head, and he's still thinking about catching Feng Nu to stir up trouble. Does he think that the tyrant can just confine him to the post house for a few days to buy firearms privately, and that's it? Haha, wait and see this ambassador cry because of the tyrant's trick~]

[By the way, isn't Han Dacongming going to Japan to be a spy? How's the progress? ]

Chu Liuzheng hadn't seen any news about this person for a long time. Now he suddenly remembered and immediately looked through the system.

[The Japanese envoys were very low-key. Apart from meeting the tyrant, they stayed in the post house and rarely went out, nor did they communicate with other envoys. This is in line with the image they have always portrayed to the outside world that we are poor and weak. 】

[Hmm...Han Ruoyu...got it! ]

[Holy crap! This guy actually managed to sneak in, and now he has the trust of the Japanese ambassador, who promised to take him back to Japan.]

[Hiss——Japan is so xenophobic, but Han Dacongming has gained the trust of all the envoys so quickly. He must be quite capable. Let me see how Han Dacongming got in?]

Chu Liuzheng flipped forward quickly, and several Bagua flashed before his eyes.

[Hehe, it’s good to have the system in my mind, my reading speed is increased N times! ]

【here!!】

Chu Liuzheng's consciousness suddenly stopped and fixed on the gossip in front of him. After scanning it in seconds, his mouth opened slightly in surprise.

[Frog fun! Han Ruoyu actually made several new firearms models by hand based on his memory. Is this how a smart person's brain is structured? ]

Looking at the system's text description, Chu Liuzheng felt as if he was watching a thrilling action movie.

[Han Daming pretended to escape from the prison of Shuntian Prefecture by a narrow escape, and then took advantage of the opportunity created by Xiao Da to get in front of the Japanese ambassador. He not only fooled the Japanese envoys with his eloquence, but also made them think that he had the formulas of Shengguo's fire/medicine, and thus treated him as a guest of honor.]

Chu Liuzheng took a long breath.

[Awesome! Look at his reaction. This rhetoric can only lead you to a conclusion but not to a conclusion. Anyway, you said it, he didn't say it. If you can't fool him anymore, you can just deny it completely.]

[With such a quick reaction to the conversation and such courage, the samurai sword was stabbed at his eyes, but he didn't even blink. Wow, he has a strong psychological quality, he is born to be a spy. ]

Chu Liuzheng began to look forward to the turbulent life that Han Ruoyu would lead after arriving in Japan. It would be best if he could turn Japan upside down!
Moxiang pushed the door open with a lunch box in her hand, and seeing Chu Liuzheng still walking around the room, she gently advised, "You've been walking for half an hour, sit down and rest for a while, be careful not to let your legs get sore."

"Okay." Chu Liuzheng smelled the aroma of chicken soup, turned around, walked over and sat down at the table.

Moxiang took out the soup bowl from the food box, opened the lid, got a bowl from the cupboard, poured out the chicken soup and fed it to Chu Liuzheng.

"I heard from the imperial kitchen that Concubine Yun has been suffering from severe morning sickness these past two days and can't eat anything."

[Isn't Yun Fei's pregnancy fake? Why is she suddenly so happy?] Chu Liuzheng spat the chicken bones on the table and looked at Moxiang in confusion.

Moxiang fed her a spoonful of soup and lowered her voice: "I heard that Concubine Yun once had a kind of sour apricot from Your Majesty, which was made by Concubine Rong herself. She missed the taste so much that if she couldn't have it, she couldn't eat anything else."

[This is interesting. The tyrant ordered that no one else could visit and no things could be sent in. Concubine Yun suddenly made such a fuss. Could it be that...she wanted Concubine Rong to be the culprit for her "miscarriage"? ]

Chu Liuzheng's eyes rolled slightly. "The imperial kitchen collects rare treasures from all over the world, and there are several chefs who are good at making snacks. How could they not be able to make the sour apricots that Concubine Yun wants to eat?"

Snacks like sour apricots don’t require complicated production processes.

"We did make a lot, but Concubine Yun ordered them to throw them all out, saying they didn't taste right." Moxiang fed her a piece of chicken. "I heard that Concubine Yun couldn't even drink the pregnancy-preserving medicine. The Imperial Hospital is extremely anxious. If they can't come up with a solution, they might report it to His Majesty."

[Hey, isn't this just a deliberate attempt to make things worse? ]

Chu Liuzheng felt strange: "Empress Yun was suffering from such severe morning sickness, but the Empress didn't ask about it?"

"The Empress was also pregnant, and perhaps she was not in good spirits. She only sent people to the Yaohua Palace to inquire and told the Imperial Kitchen to do its best, but she didn't have any other instructions. However, Concubine Shu ordered the small kitchen to imitate Concubine Rong's method of making sour apricots and send them over, but Concubine Yun still felt that the taste was not right."

"Chun Zhaoyi also sent some over. When Concubine Yun smelled the smell, she had them thrown out. I heard that Chun Zhaoyi looked unhappy."

[No one would be happy if their good intentions were thrown away like garbage. ]

Chu Liuzheng could understand Chun Zhaoyi's feelings very well.

"I heard from the Imperial Kitchen that His Majesty has invited several ministers to dine in the Yangxin Palace. According to convention, if the subordinates want to report this, they should do so after dinner."

Chu Liuzheng nodded and glanced at Moxiang.

[Sister Moxiang never talked to me about this before, and she told me to talk less and do more. Why does she always talk to me about this now? ]

Chu Liuzheng was puzzled, but seeing that Moxiang seemed to be just chatting casually, he didn't dare to ask specifically.

[Maybe I'm overthinking. Taking care of patients is so boring. Sister Moxiang doesn't have a system like me to eat melons, so she has to find a way to relieve her boredom. In this palace, there are only a few ways for palace maids to relieve boredom, and it is common for them to share gossip with their sisters.]

*
At the same time, Huaqing Palace.

Xiang Lu carried a small food box and walked out of the small kitchen door, entered the main hall, and whispered to the beauty leaning on the couch, "Madam, the sour apricots are ready."

Concubine Rong slowly opened her eyes, and with the help of the little palace maid, she lazily stood up, put on her cloak, took the hand warmer, and said lazily, "Let's go and send it to my sister, Concubine Yun, who is suffering from morning sickness."

Xianglu glanced out the window and advised softly, "Madam, it's getting late. It just snowed outside. You are so precious, how can you bear the cold? Let me go and take you there."

"My love for you is not in vain." Concubine Rong raised her hand and gently stroked Xianglu's delicate face with her nails dyed with red nail polish.

Xianglu's neck suddenly stiffened and her jaw tensed, and she only breathed a sigh of relief when the nails left.

"I will follow the Queen Mother's orders and do my best." Concubine Rong turned around holding the hand warmer, "Let's go, don't miss the time."
