I became the tyrant's only belief.

Chapter 134: Morally Corrupted Thing
Xiao Pingzi knew he couldn't fool her, so he nodded and said, "Yes, Zhu Qing promised that as long as I help Madam Xiao Guipin with all my heart, Madam Xiao Guipin will find a way to transfer me to Feiyu Palace and use me."

In this palace, almost everyone wants to climb up, and Xiaopingzi is no exception.

But ever since Concubine Yun regained her favor, there were too many palace servants trying to please her, and every one of them was in their own position. How difficult would it be for him to win Concubine Yun's favor?
A few days ago, he finally found an opportunity to show his face in front of Concubine Yun, but was immediately targeted by other eunuchs, which scared him so much that he never dared to show up again.

But he was unwilling to be a warehouse keeper forever, so he wanted to save the country in a roundabout way. Zhu Qing happened to find him, and for the sake of his own future, he agreed without much thought.

Unexpectedly, this was a complete disaster and I almost lost my life.

Thinking of this, Xiao Pingzi couldn't help but glared at Zhu Qing with resentment, "I took the soothing incense powder you gave me because I remembered that Concubine Xiao and Concubine Yun were close and often visited each other. I didn't expect you to lie to me. The incense powder was not soothing at all, and you added those harmful things to it! If I had known this, I shouldn't have agreed to you."

[Tsk tsk, a fence-sitter! He betrayed his master, and now that the truth has been revealed he is just trying to make excuses. Don’t you think it’s a little too late?]

[What good can come from doing something sneaky? He just said this to deceive himself. He said they have a good relationship, ha! Is it the kind of relationship where they want to kill each other?]

"This servant is talking nonsense and slandering me. Your Majesty, please do not believe him." Concubine Xiao could not just stand by and watch, so she quickly opened her mouth to refute him.

Xiao Jingfan looked at her and stroked the bodhi beads on his wrist, "You really don't know?"

"I don't know." Concubine Xiao said as she turned her head to look at Zhu Qing, her face mixed with disappointment and anger.

"I was so careless that I didn't realize that Zhu Qing was so bold that she secretly formed a relationship with Xiao Changzi. She was threatened and blackmailed because of this. She used my name to bully others and made those false promises to this servant."

She cleared herself of the charge with a few words and put the blame on Zhuqing for everything.

"I have always respected Sister Yunfei, and there is no shortage of people in the palace. Why would I ask Sister Yunfei for a servant, or a useless eunuch? I am wronged, Your Majesty, please understand."

Hearing this, Xiao Jingfan did not comment, but motioned Xiao Anzi to pull the cloth out of Zhu Qing's mouth and asked, "Did you really do this on your own initiative?"

Zhu Qing just opened his mouth and before he could utter a word, he heard Xiao Jingfan say, "If you dare to tell even a single lie, I will exterminate all your clans."

The tone was not harsh, but the cold voice was full of murderous intent.

Zhu Qing was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat. The word "yes" was stuck in her throat and she couldn't utter it for a long time.

Concubine Xiao was anxious, worried that Zhu Qing would really change her story and give her away, so she couldn't help but wink at her secretly.

"Sister Xiao, is your eye cramping?" Shenpin beside her suddenly looked at her with concern, "I think you don't look well. How about calling the imperial physician to take a look at you?"

As soon as she said this, everyone turned to look at her with meaningful looks.

Concubine Xiao: "..."

She wants to tear the bitch Shen's mouth apart!!

[Uh, how could the Piranha Plant not be able to tell the difference between cramping and winking? Does she have a grudge against Concubine Xiao? Why is she chasing after Concubine Xiao tonight? ]

Chu Liuzheng felt puzzled, and Xiao Guipin was also puzzled. She believed that she had no grudges against Shenpin, so why did he target her again and again?
However, the current situation did not allow her to think too much, as the emperor was still staring at her.

She could only smile awkwardly and said to Shenpin: "Thank you for your concern, sister. It's just that a gust of wind blew just now and some dust flew into my eyes. It's fine now."

"That's good." Shenpin smiled softly, "Sister, you have to be careful. If your eyes are uncomfortable, it's better to find an imperial physician as soon as possible."

Concubine Xiao nodded, and with a fake smile, she managed to say, "Okay." By this time, Zhu Qing had also thought it through. She kowtowed to the emperor and said, "Every word I say is true. I dare not deceive Your Majesty."

[Oh my, even the extermination of the entire clan is not enough to scare her, she is so loyal... uh, wait a minute! This, this, this... Zhu Qing is actually Xiao Guipin's half-sister! ]

Looking at the gossip he had casually flipped through, Chu Liuzheng widened his eyes in surprise.

[Fuck! ! Concubine Xiao's father is actually a good wife. He not only raped Zhu Qing's mother, but also had more than 40 victims! Fuck! What kind of top-notch Lao Deng is this? ! How can such a person with corrupt personal ethics be a general? Is this military achievement exaggerated? ]

Chu Liuzheng just had a suspicion and flipped through it casually.

[Fuck! There is something fishy about this! This old Deng actually brought his cronies to massacre the village, using the villagers' heads as military merits, and he did it several times! That adds up to hundreds of lives, ugh! Scum!!]

Massacre of the whole village?!
Xiao Jingfan's pupils constricted.

[Fuck! Does the tyrant have presbyopia or cataracts? How can such a scum with no moral integrity be reused? How can those soldiers who have truly fought the enemy with swords and guns think of this? No wonder the army has complaints about this. How can they not blame...]

Chu Liuzheng was complaining in her heart when she suddenly heard a 'pop' sound and the black-glazed porcelain cup exploded at her feet. The broken pieces of porcelain flew past the corner of her eyes and she closed her eyes in fear.

[Frog fun! Why did the tyrant suddenly smash the cup? My face was almost disfigured! ]

She instinctively turned her head to look at the seated emperor.

The young man in black was seen with his head lowered. His skin was as white as jade and his thick eyelashes drooped, casting a fan-shaped shadow on his eyelids, making it impossible to see the expression in his eyes.

He was wiping his hands slowly with a handkerchief, with no expression on his handsome face, as if he were a frozen ice sculpture.

Although he was not angry, Chu Liuzheng swallowed his saliva and slowly held his breath.

[It’s over, it’s over. The tyrant wants to kill people! Oh~ Am I going to die here today? ]

Xiao Jingfan raised his eyelids, and his stern gaze swept across Chu Liuzheng's face and fell at her feet. He found that the light-colored hem of her skirt was splashed with tea and had a small spot wet.

With his brows knitted together, he said, "Take two steps back."

Chu Liuzheng's mind was extremely tense. Upon hearing this, he quickly took two steps back and stood in a clean place.

A young palace maid came forward to clean up the mess on the ground, and the broken porcelain pieces hit the floor, making a small sound.

The sound was very small, but it was infinitely amplified in the quiet hall and fell into everyone's ears.

No one knew why Emperor Shunguang suddenly smashed the cup and why he acted as if nothing had happened, but everyone remained silent, except for... Chu Liuzheng's inner voice.

[The tyrant is scary when he breathes fire, but even scarier when he doesn't. Who provokes him? ]

[Damn it, I almost screamed out just now, I was just one step away from being beaten to death! ]

Chu Liuzheng felt a surge of fear and anxiety, and instinctively wanted to eat a melon to calm his nerves.

So she picked up the melon that was just half opened.

[Just now I saw…]
