I became the tyrant's only belief.

Chapter 132 Kidney Deficiency at a Young Age

[Niu Fei was really a smart man, and he was willing to take risks. He received the news that Zhou Yuande personally led people to search Huaqing Palace and that Concubine Rong was demoted to a noble lady. He didn't see the Huayin Palace end for a long time, so he had a bad feeling. He left a letter of confession and simply ended his life with a white silk.]

[It seems like there is a choice, but in fact there is no choice. If Niu Fei chooses to betray Gaopin, not only will he be severely punished and lose his position as manager, but his nephew and niece will also have to die. But if he takes the blame and saves Gaopin with his life, the Gao family will treat his nephew and niece well. ]

[Tsk, Niu Fei used his own life to exchange for the lives of his nephew and niece. Gaopin did this secretly. Except for Gaopin's confidants, no one else knew about Niu Fei's suicide. Gaopin is considered safe.]

Thinking of this, Chu Liuzheng looked towards Gaopin's position again.

[Look how calm and confident he is. He must have known what Niu Fei would choose. He is not afraid at all.]

Gaopin did guess it, but she wasn't completely sure.

So she was only calm on the surface, but in fact her heartbeat had long been out of order and her palms were full of sweat.

It was not until the eunuch who had run to deliver the message came back to report the news of Niu Fei's death that Concubine Gao's heart finally settled down.

She calmly clenched the handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat from her palms.

"Hanging himself?" Xiao Jingfan pretended to be surprised even though he knew the result.

The young eunuch respectfully presented a letter written in blood, "This is a confession found in Eunuch Niu's residence. Please have a look, Your Majesty."

It was called a confession, but in fact it was just a piece of white cloth, as if it had been torn from a shirt, with blood words written all over it.

Zhou Yuande stepped forward to take it, and confirmed that there was no problem with the blood letter before passing it to Xiao Jingfan to read.

The bloodstains on the cloth had dried, but if you got close you could still smell a faint smell of rust.

Xiao Jingfan frowned slightly, and after reading the blood letter, he slammed it heavily on the table.

Chu Liuzheng was standing close by and was caught off guard and his ears were jolted.

[Frog fun! The tyrant still has time to slam the table. If you don't send people to the warehouse of Huayin Temple to catch Xiao Pingzi, Xiao Pingzi will die. ]

[Tsk tsk, I never knew Zhu Qing knew some martial arts skills. He's on his way to kill Xiao Pingzi right now, and he's planning to make him commit suicide too.]

Xiao Jingfan:!

He made a prompt decision and said, "Niu Fei only admitted to the crime of replacing the candles and murdering Concubine Yun, but he did not say a word about the incense powder. Bring all the people guarding the storehouse here. I want to interrogate them personally!"

"Yes!" Zhou Yuande immediately took people to the warehouse to get the person.

Concubine Xiao was so nervous that she clenched her fists and looked towards the door.

Zhuqing must succeed!
[Hey, the tyrant finally reacted, hurry up! Eunuch Zhou, run faster! Zhu Qing is here! ]

Chu Liuzheng was nervous and worried about Xiao Pingzi's life.

Xiao Pingzi was an important witness in convicting Concubine Xiao. If he died, this clue would be lost!

【Ahhh! I see it! I see it!】

【Eunuch Zhou rushed over! 】

[Wow! This is like a mountain falling on top of you, Eunuch Zhou is really awesome... Uh, why did he sprain his waist? Tsk tsk, I can't stand the praise, but Xiao Anzi is really agile and captured the man. ]

【Wuhu~All arrested!!】

Chu Liuzheng was no longer sleepy, his eyes were bright and energetic, all he needed was a plate of peanuts and sunflower seeds.

Xiao Jingfan: "..."

After a while, Eunuch Zhou asked Xiao Anzi to help him back.

[Tsk, Eunuch Zhou really should lose some weight. How come he looks like a teapot when he holds his waist? Or a teapot with a very large capacity.]

Hearing this, Xiao Jingfan subconsciously glanced at the teapot on the table, and then looked at his eunuch, and... they really looked alike.

The corners of his lips raised for a moment, then quickly straightened, and asked solemnly, "What happened?" "To answer your Majesty, when I led people to the storehouse, I saw this palace maid preparing to commit a crime, and I rushed over in a hurry." Zhou Yuande was a little embarrassed, "I lost control of my footing and accidentally sprained my waist."

Xiao Jingfan: “…Puff!”

He just laughed once, then stopped immediately, as if nothing had happened just now.

Everyone: "..."

We are not deaf!

[Tsk tsk, the tyrant actually gloats over other people's misfortunes! ]

Chu Liuzheng glanced at Xiao Jingfan in surprise, feeling that the word "emperor" seemed to have some popularity.

Zhou Yuande, the person being "gloated over" was quite happy, and felt that his fall was worth it if it could make His Majesty smile.

Xiao Jingfan still had some humanity in him. After laughing, he waved to his chief eunuch and said, "Go find the imperial physician. Xiao Anzi, just leave your reply."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace." Zhou Yuande was moved and felt more and more that his injury was worth it.

A young eunuch came forward to help him find the imperial physician to treat his injuries.

At this moment, Xiaopingzi and Zhuqing had been taken into the hall.

Xiao Pingzi was obviously still a little frightened and didn't dare to get too close to Zhu Qing. Zhu Qing's hands were tied with hemp ropes, and there was a sturdy nanny standing next to her, staring at her intently.

"Zhu Qing, what's going on?" Concubine Xiao looked at Zhu Qing in surprise, "What did you do?"

Zhu Qing pursed her lips. Although she had prepared herself mentally, she still felt a little uncomfortable when she was abandoned without hesitation.

She lowered her head and did not respond to Concubine Xiao.

Seeing this, Concubine Xiao's heart skipped a beat, thinking that Zhu Qing had changed his mind. She was about to say something else, but she heard the person next to her laugh softly, "Your Majesty hasn't even said a word yet, why are you so anxious, Sister Xiao? Someone who doesn't know would think that Sister Xiao has done something wrong and is feeling guilty."

These words were spoken in a joking tone, as if they were said casually, but they hit Concubine Xiao's sore spot.

"What are you talking about?" Concubine Xiao glared at Concubine Shen, "Have I ever done anything wrong?"

Shenpin seemed to be frightened by Xiao Guipin's harsh words and said hesitantly, "I just wanted to make a joke with you, sister. Why are you so angry?"

Xiao Guipin glared at her and said, "This is about the heir to the throne, how can you joke about it?"

"Sister Xiao, you are right. I was the one who spoke out of turn. Please don't blame me, Sister Xiao." Concubine Shen slowly stood up and bowed to Concubine Xiao, with her brows drooping, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

[Ah~ The smell of tea is coming to me. ]

Xiao Jingfan:?

Where was the smell of tea? Why didn't he smell it?
Concubine Xiao also felt that the smell of tea was pungent and she wanted to slap the pretty face in front of her.

She snorted coldly: "If you really feel that you have made a mistake, be careful in your words and actions in the future and don't make the same mistake again."

"My sister will follow my sister's teachings." Concubine Shen naturally did not miss the unfriendly look in Concubine Xiao's eyes, but she didn't care. She just wanted to take this opportunity to let His Majesty see her value so that she could ascend to the throne again.

Thinking of this, she pursed her lips slightly, and as she sat down, she raised her eyelids and glanced at Xiao Jingfan. Her eyes were as gentle as water, and extremely beautiful.

Unfortunately, Xiao Jingfan was throwing his seductive eyes to a blind man. He put his elbows on the armrest of the chair, thinking intently about what the tea tasted like. He didn't notice it, but Chu Liuzheng, who was standing very close to him, noticed it.

[Wow, this affectionate and aggrieved look, not to mention men, even women can't stand it! How come the tyrant has no reaction at all? ]

Xiao Jingfan, who was called back to his senses by his inner voice:?
[Tsk, could it be that the tyrant has been staying up too late and is in poor health? He is so young and has kidney deficiency. Oh, this is too cruel.]

Xiao Jingfan: "..."

He gritted his teeth, trying to hold it in but couldn't help it. He pointed at Chu Liuzheng and said, "Stand in the corner."

Chu Liuzheng: ???
