I became the tyrant's only belief.

Chapter 143 There is a shadow

[According to the system, this is the treasure left by Wang Wanshu, the richest man in the Zhou Dynasty, for his descendants. The white jade ring is the key to unlock the treasure. If the Wang family encounters a major change, they can find the treasure and make a comeback. Unfortunately, Wang Wanshu was stabbed in the back by his confidant and died before he could leave an explanation to his family. The family members had no idea that this treasure existed.]

[Some clan members felt that Wang Wanshu left too little inheritance, so they secretly searched for it. Unfortunately, Wang Wanshu did a very good job of keeping it a secret, and left no clues except the white jade ring. The Wang family members were suspicious of each other, and many scandals occurred during the internal strife, which led to the disintegration of the family. Such a large family just broke up.]

[The confidant fled and wanted to use the white jade ring to find the treasure, but Wang Wanshu was still on guard against him and told him that the location of the treasure map was fake. The confidant was unwilling to give up and searched for the treasure all over the world, but when he was staying at the inn, a thief stole the white jade ring and resold it. The confidant was so angry about the loss of the treasure that he died of anger. ]

Chu Liuzheng took out the gossip he had read before and read it again.

[Tsk tsk, this confidant planned so hard that he even betrayed his master who was so kind to him. He ran around for several years hiding his identity just to find the treasure, but in the end he came up empty-handed. If it were me, I would be so angry that I would die. ]

[Prince Li was lucky. He found this white jade ring in an antique shop. He thought it was very comfortable to wear, so he kept wearing it.]

[There are a lot of gold, silver and jewelry in the treasure, as well as many antiques, calligraphy and paintings, rare and unique books, etc., the value of which is inestimable. But there are too many traps. If you don't crack the treasure map correctly and turn off the traps, you will easily die without a complete body if you rush in. ]

[Tsk tsk, these traps are too cruel. Sixty years ago, a tomb robber accidentally broke into the treasure house. He was crushed into a pulp by a huge rock as soon as he saw a little golden light. He didn't even have time to be happy before his whole army was wiped out.]

[Let me take a look. One hundred and thirty years ago, one hundred and eighty-five years ago, two hundred and twelve years ago, two hundred and thirty-six years ago... Tsk tsk, there are so many corpses. This is not a treasure at all. It is simply the burial place of tomb robbers.]

Chu Liuzheng sighed as he watched, but Xiao Jingfan's eyes sparkled, the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise, and a look of determination flashed in his eyes.

He glanced at Prince Li, his eyes so eager as if he was looking at a walking mountain of gold.

Prince Li felt a chill on the back of his neck and sneezed three times in a row, even with snot coming out of his nose.

Seeing this, Prince Cheng, who was standing next to him, moved aside with disgust.

Prince Li wiped his nose with a handkerchief and glared at him with sidelong eyes.

The two of them didn't get along well to begin with, and seeing this, Prince Cheng poked at his weak spot: "How does it feel to be turned away?"

Prince Li gritted his teeth and said, "You are the best of me, how can you be better than me?"

"People are different." The corner of Prince Cheng's lip curled up and said sarcastically, "I can't do such a thing as putting my warm face in front of someone who doesn't like me."

Prince Li was so angry that he threw a handkerchief soaked with snot at his face. Prince Cheng, who was a bit of a germaphobe, was so scared that he stepped back and stepped on the shoe of Shangbao Siqing behind him.

The kick was not light. Shang Bao Siqing's face was distorted with pain, but he endured it again and again and didn't cry out.

Unfortunately, the person who stepped on him was the Prince of Cheng, and he couldn't get angry.

Prince Cheng was a well-behaved man. He was the one who had stepped on someone, and when he saw that Shangbao Siqing had a bad look on his face, he quickly apologized.

Shang Bao Si Qing: "..."

It doesn’t matter whether you apologize or not, just move your feet away first!
The small commotion here attracted the attention of others.

Chu Liuzheng also looked over curiously.

[Wow! Why is Prince Cheng in the arms of Shangbao Siqing? They are looking at each other, full of gay love, are they a couple?] Xiao Jingfan, who was ready to hear something serious: ?

He glanced suspiciously at Prince Cheng and Shang Bao Siqing. Are they really a couple?

As the saying goes, a lesbian can easily identify a gay person. The more Chu Liuzheng looked at them, the more he felt that there was something fishy going on between them.

[If it was all innocent, why did Prince Cheng suddenly jump away in panic? Hey, the Shangbao Siqing's face turned red. Did he suddenly realize that he was embarrassed in public? ]

Xiao Jingfan, who was eavesdropping, followed her train of thought and instantly felt that something was wrong between Prince Cheng and Shang Bao Siqing. He wondered why he hadn't noticed it before.
Chu Liuzheng here was still making bold guesses.

[If these two are a couple, then the reason why Shangbao Siqing stole the blank imperial edict with the seal for King Cheng was because King Cheng wanted him to prove his sincerity to the Crown Prince of Cheng. In order to please his future father-in-law, he did it despite the pressure of exterminating his entire clan, right? ]

[Tsk tsk, even the nine clans are involved, this is definitely true love! ]

Xiao Jingfan:!!!

The person who stole the imperial edict was the Minister of Shangbao? !
Chu Liuzheng, who was completely unaware that someone was eavesdropping, frowned and found a loophole in his inference.

[That's not right. The Minister of Shangbao was still a junior minister at that time. He stole two imperial edicts in total. He couldn't have fallen in love with the Fifth Prince, right? Hmm... two true loves? But the Fifth Prince already had a son at that time! ]

Xiao Jingfan felt it was more and more outrageous the more he listened: "..."

He really believed this woman's lies!

Chu Liuzheng frowned and glanced at Prince Cheng and Shang Bao Siqing a few more times. He still felt that there was something fishy between the two and decided to verify it in the system.

She began to search.

[Tsk! It's a disaster. These two are not related... Wait! They are still somewhat related. ]

Chu Liuzheng glanced at Shang Bao Siqing with sympathy.

[One of them was planning to kill, the other was planning to be the victim. They love each other... Bah! Killing to silence someone, one of the tasks of Prince Cheng's visit to the capital is to get rid of the Minister of the Imperial Treasures, so that the tyrant will not find out about the blank imperial edict. This way, he can use the blank imperial edict to catch the tyrant off guard.]

[Tsk tsk, being so close to the person who wants to kill you, doesn't Shang Bao Si Qing feel a chill down his spine? ]

Shangbao Siqing didn't notice it. Not only that, he even started chatting with Prince Cheng after he moved his feet away.

Chu Liuzheng watched coldly, the two of them were chatting quite happily.

[This matter is ultimately the fault of the late emperor. How could someone steal something as important as the imperial edict? Look at how much trouble it has left for your son Jing Fan. If he had left a genuine will or appointed a crown prince, there wouldn't be so many problems... Oh, I almost forgot that the late emperor's opposition to the crown prince had a shadow.]

[The previous emperor had appointed two crown princes. One was the eldest prince, who died of an epidemic after serving as crown prince for only three months. The other was the third prince, who broke his leg when he fell off his horse on the day he was appointed crown prince. He completed the ceremony with a determined mind, but when he was offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, a hurricane blew him down from the high platform, leaving him with only one breath left.]

【Seeing that he was about to die, the late emperor suddenly had a sudden inspiration and abolished the third prince's position as crown prince on the spot, and he was able to stay alive. Although he is now unable to walk, he is still alive. After the tyrant ascended the throne, he named the third prince the King of Filial Piety. The King of Filial Piety was the first prince to take the initiative to go to his fiefdom. Now he has lived in his fiefdom for a long time and is considered the most peaceful among all the princes.】

Chu Liuzheng felt that this King Xiao was a bit pitiful. Looking at the gossip turned up by the system, he felt that all the children of the late emperor had a hard time.
