I became the tyrant's only belief.

Chapter 133: Good Lip-service
[Frog fun! Tyrant, you moody dog, I didn't tell you that you have kidney deficiency to your face! ! You were punished to stand in the corner, is he the class teacher? If he can't control the concubine, he will take his anger out on the palace maids or something, hmm~ I am a poor little fish in the pond. ]

However, Chu Liuzheng only dared to mutter a few words in his heart, bowed, and stood obediently in the corner.

For some reason, when Xiao Jingfan saw her really standing in the corner, he felt even more upset, as if he had punched cotton.

If you have the guts, scold me to my face!
Come and curse each other!!
He frowned and said angrily: "Stand away!"

Chu Liuzheng blinked and silently moved closer to the corner, leaning against the wall.

He lowered his head, looked submissive and well-behaved, as if to say, is this far enough?
Xiao Jingfan: "..."

Even more of an eyesore!!
Chu Liuzheng's entire back was pressed against the wall, and soon he felt the icy temperature of the wall.

[Hiss——I’m not wearing enough clothes. I’m still cold leaning against the wall. My cold hasn’t healed yet. If it gets worse because of the cold, will it affect the recovery of the injury? Um… Doctor Li didn’t say anything. I’ll have to ask when I change the dressing tomorrow.]

Wind chill?

Xiao Jingfan frowned slightly when he heard this.

How come he didn't know that the woman had caught a cold? How did Chen Xing and Mi Yue become so bad at their jobs?
At the same time, perhaps stimulated by the coldness of the wall, Chu Liuzheng suddenly felt an itchy sensation in his throat and began to cough muffledly against the wall.

In order to hold back the sound of her cough, she bent over slightly and closed her mouth tightly, and her fair face turned red.

But once she started coughing, she couldn't stop. She coughed until her eyes were watery and some sounds leaked out from between her lips. If she could use her hands, she would have covered her mouth.

Moxiang, who was standing by the door, looked at her worriedly. She wanted to go over to accompany her, but she didn't dare to do so without the emperor's order.

It would be great if Eunuch Zhou were here.

Just as this thought flashed through her mind, she suddenly heard Emperor Shunguang say, "Come here."

The sound seemed to be squeezed out from between teeth, and there was complete unwillingness in the gnashing of teeth, as if someone was forcing it to be said.

However, the person speaking is the emperor. Who can force the emperor?

Moxiang felt strange, and Chu Liuzheng, who was being ordered, also felt strange.

She coughed with her mouth closed and looked up at Xiao Jingfan.

[Sometimes he lets me stand, sometimes he doesn't. It changes so quickly. Has the tyrant entered menopause early? ]

Although Xiao Jingfan didn't know what "menopause" meant, he felt that it was not a good word.

Seeing Chu Liuzheng coughing non-stop, he ordered again: "Come here."

Chu Liuzheng wanted to wait until the coughing stopped before moving, but after hearing this, he had no choice but to walk over.

Strangely enough, as he got closer, perhaps because he felt the warmth emanating from the charcoal basin, his unstoppable coughing gradually stopped.

[Well, I finally stopped coughing. I'm still warming up by the charcoal basin.]

Chu Liuzheng let out a long sigh and sniffed hard.

If she continued to cough, her nose would burst. Seeing that she had stopped coughing, Xiao Jingfan's frown slowly relaxed and he ordered someone to add two more pieces of charcoal to the charcoal basin.

The concubines' eyes flickered between Xiao Jingfan and Chu Liuzheng, thinking to themselves that the rumors were true, and His Majesty really did treat this palace maid differently!
Moxiang saw the unfriendly looks from several ladies and couldn't help but worry about Chu Liuzheng.

I'm afraid there will be no peace in the days ahead.

Chu Liuzheng herself didn't feel much because her nose was blocked and she was having trouble breathing.

[The people have been caught, why hasn't the tyrant tried them yet? With this progress, when can we go back to sleep? ]

She sniffed hard, trying hard to keep the snot from flowing out.

It's not that it's unsightly, but...ah, damn, she doesn't have hands to wipe it.

Just as Chu Liuzheng was struggling over whether to wipe his nose with the gauze in his hand, Xiao Jingfan looked at the tied up Zhu Qing and Xiao Pingzi who had regained his composure and asked, "What are your names?"

Xiao Pingzi bowed respectfully and said, "Your servant Xiao Pingzi greets Your Majesty. May Your Majesty be well and safe."

Zhu Qing lowered her head and said, "In reply to your Majesty, my name is Zhu Qing."

"Zhu Qing?" Xiao Jingfan glanced at Concubine Xiao who was staring at Zhu Qing, and ordered someone to cover Xiao Pingzi's mouth before saying, "I remember that you are from Feiyu Palace. You were not serving Concubine Xiao, so why did you go to the warehouse and attack Xiao Pingzi?"

Zhu Qing quickly glanced at Concubine Xiao before saying, "My master was worried about Concubine Yun, so he came here in a hurry and forgot to bring a hand warmer. I was ordered to go back and get one, and I happened to run into Eunuch Ping. Eunuch Ping said he found my handkerchief and put it in the storeroom, so he asked me to go with him to get it."

"That handkerchief was given to me by my master. I have always cherished it. I thought it would not delay anything, so I followed him."

"Unexpectedly, after we arrived at the storehouse, Eunuch Ping suddenly wanted to kill me. I was so anxious that I knocked him out. When I was about to go out and call for help, Manager Zhou suddenly came with his men. He didn't listen to my explanation and ordered them to tie me up."

[Oh my, the little girl is quite good at talking. She turned black into white and made the perpetrator the victim. She was just a little hasty in making it up. It sounds like that at first glance, but it doesn't stand up to scrutiny.]

Xiao Jingfan agreed with this. He stared at Zhu Qing and asked, "Why did Xiao Pingzi want to kill you?"

"I..." Zhu Qing gritted her teeth and said, "I used to be a concubine of Eunuch Chang. After Eunuch Ping knew about this, he kept threatening me with it and extorting money from me. I was afraid that he would tell others, so I gave him money a few times."

"I didn't expect that after he tasted the sweetness, his appetite grew bigger and bigger. I couldn't stand it anymore and didn't want to be threatened by him anymore, so I threatened him with the name of the noble concubine, and only then did he stop."

[Look, what is the highest realm of lies, three parts true and seven parts false, who the hell can tell the difference? ]

[Let me see, the food is real, the threat is fake, the money is real, the blackmail is fake, the name of Concubine Xiao is fake, and the order is real... Tsk tsk, with these words in front, even if Xiao Pingzi really gives Concubine Xiao out later, people will only suspect that Xiao Pingzi is taking revenge. If Zhu Qing takes the initiative to take the blame, won't Xiao Concubine be successfully removed? ]

Chu Liuzheng secretly admired him. It turned out that anyone who could be the top leader around the empresses had some real skills.

Xiao Jingfan ordered his men to cover Zhu Qing's mouth and began to interrogate Xiao Pingzi.

As soon as the cloth in his mouth was pulled out, Xiao Pingzi began to cry out for injustice: "Your Majesty, I am innocent! I never asked Zhuqing to go to the storehouse to get any handkerchiefs. She suddenly came to me and asked me to give her all the perfume powder that had been replaced in the storehouse."

"When I went into the storeroom to look for perfume powder, she followed me in. I thought she came in to help, but she knocked me out. When I woke up, I saw Manager Zhou and others. Only then did I realize that I almost lost my life at her hands."

Xiao Jingfan got to the point: "Did Zhu Qing ask you to change the perfume powder?"
