I became the tyrant's only belief.

Chapter 147 Without Breathing
"woke up."

A crisp voice rang in his ears. Chu Liuzheng looked at the cute and pretty face above him and blinked slowly.

Chen Xing reached out and helped her up. Chu Liuzheng felt weak all over, and her throat felt like it was blocked by a ball of cotton, making it difficult for her to swallow.

"What's wrong with me?" She leaned on Chen Xing's shoulder, her voice as hoarse as the quacking of a duckling.

Moxiang came in with medicine and said, "Your cold got worse and you fainted in the carriage."

[I still can’t make it. ]

Chu Liuzheng sighed inwardly, tilted his head, and asked, "How did I get back?"

"I brought my sister back." The voice came from my ear, crisp and tender. It was Chen Xing.

Chu Liuzheng was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at her: "Hug?"

"Like this." Chen Xing put one arm around her shoulders and the other hand over her knees, picked up Chu Liuzheng along with the quilt, and shook her, with a relaxed look on his face.

Moxiang shook her head and laughed. Chen Xing was really lively.

Chu Liuzheng made Chen Xing dizzy, and hurriedly said, "Put me down, I'm dizzy."

Chen Xing did as he was told, and laid her down on the bed, stuffing two pillows behind her back for easy leaning. At the end, he said, "Sister Liu Zheng is so light. I carried her back without even breathing hard."

[Girl, those who can't breathe are corpses, they breathe heavily, thank you! ]

Chu Liuzheng secretly complained in his heart, but he smiled and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you. Thank you very much."

Chen Xing waved his hand: "You're welcome, I like you, sister, and I'm happy to do anything for you."

This little mouth sounded as if covered with honey, but Chu Liuzheng found it uncomfortable. If someone didn't know better, he would think that this girl wanted to do something lesbian with him.

She didn't know how to respond, so she just laughed dryly and praised, "You look petite, but you have a lot of strength. Have you practiced specially?"

Chen Xing nodded: "My father is a martial arts master of the escort agency. He taught me and my sister martial arts since we were young, so my sister and I are stronger than ordinary women. Splitting a stone is no problem."

While feeding Chu Liuzheng medicine, Moxiang asked curiously, "The monthly salary of a martial artist in the escort agency should be quite high, more than enough to support a family. Why did you and Miyue come to the palace?"

"My father was killed by bandits while escorting a caravan. My mother ran away, leaving my sister and me behind. My uncle wanted to sell me and my sister to a brothel, but we didn't want to, so we knocked him out and ran away. On the way, we saved an old eunuch who had just left the palace. He used his connections to help us enter the palace and serve Concubine Gong."

Chen Xing pouted, and a look of sadness appeared on his face, which was always smiling.

Moxiang knew there must be something hidden, but she didn't expect it to involve the destruction of the family. After all, Chenxing's temperament is really lively, and Mitsuki is also straightforward. Neither of them is the kind of person who would bear such things.

She hurriedly said, "I'm sorry for reminding you of sad things."

"It's okay, it's all over." Chen Xing shook his head, raised the corners of his lips, and revealed a sweet dimple.

Chu Liuzheng looked at it in amazement.

[He tells lies without hesitation. Look at his natural acting skills. He even fooled Sister Moxiang.]

Noticing Chu Liuzheng's scrutiny, Chen Xing propped up his chin with both hands, stared at Chu Liuzheng with his big eyes flickering, and said with a smile: "Sister, do you think I'm pretty when you look at me like this?"

This is true, Chu Liuzheng nodded.

Chen Xing smiled so hard that his eyes curved, and he kept saying nice things to her: "I think you're pretty, too. Sister, can I move in with you?"

Chu Liuzheng was slightly stunned: "Ah?"

No, why did the topic suddenly turn to this?
"I like my sister and want to see her every day when I open my eyes. Doesn't my sister like me?" Chen Xing pouted, threw herself on the quilt, raised her head and looked at Chu Liuzheng. Chu Liuzheng: "..."

[No, what on earth does this girl want to do? I'm not planning on betraying the tyrant, why is she targeting me? ]

She declined politely, "There are only two beds in the room." There's really no place for you to stay!
"I sleep with my sister." Chen Xing didn't give up and gestured with his hand, "I only take up a little space."

Chu Liuzheng looked at the tiny distance between her fingertips, then looked at her. Are the two things related?
Moxiang was actually amused by what she saw. It was rare to see Liu Zheng being entangled to such an extent that he had no way out. This Chen Xing was indeed a wonderful person.

"Okay, I was just joking with my sister. If I really move in, she'll be jealous." Chen Xing stuck out his tongue and got up from the quilt. "Since my sister is awake, I'll go report to His Majesty and come back to see her in the evening."

Chu Liuzheng didn't care what she said. When he heard that she was leaving, he nodded hurriedly, fearing that this unreserved girl would really move in and sleep in the same bed with her. She didn't even have enough sleep.

Moxiang opened the cupboard and grabbed a handful of eight-treasure candies for Chenxing, asking her to take them to Wenhua Hall to share with Siyue and Yuzhui.

Chen Xing happily accepted it and wrinkled his nose: "Sister Moxiang is treating me like a child."

"You're so ungrateful." Moxiang loved her lively personality and pointed at her, "If you don't want to eat it, give it back to me, I..."

"Eat!" Without waiting for her to finish, Chen Xing ran away with the candy in his hand, not giving Moxiang any chance to take the candy back.

"This girl." Moxiang shook her head helplessly, walked over to close the door, and returned to sit down beside the bed.

She reached out and touched Chu Liuzheng's forehead. It was a little warm, but not hot.

"After all this trouble, your cold has gotten worse." Looking at Chu Liuzheng's pointed chin, she sighed softly, with some heartache for her sister in her eyes.

Seeing this, Chu Liuzheng curled his eyes at her, his voice still hoarse: "It's okay, it will be fine after two days of rest."

"Oh, I just hope nothing goes wrong again." Moxiang fed her a candy, "The medicine is bitter, put one in your mouth to make it sweet."

The sugar was very sweet, but Chu Liuzheng felt inexplicably sour in his nose and even his eyes were red.

"Why are you crying again?" Moxiang was a little surprised and reached out to gently wipe away the tears from the corners of Chu Liuzheng's eyes.

Chu Liuzheng bit the candy and shook his head.

Seeing that she didn't want to talk, Moxiang stopped talking considerately, reached out to help her lie down, touched the hot water bottle under the quilt, and found that it was no longer hot, so she took it out and said, "You lie down for a while, I'll fill the hot water bottle again."

Chu Liuzheng had a sore throat and didn't want to talk, so he just nodded and watched her leave.

She sniffed until she could no longer see anyone, and tried hard to suppress the emotions that were surging up in her head.

[Chu Liuzheng, be happy. Why are you crying just because you are sick? It's only eight years. It will pass in the blink of an eye. You can leave the palace in the blink of an eye. It's not like we will never see each other again. Why are you crying?]

After some self-comfort, the inexplicably surging feeling of longing gradually subsided and turned into a trickle flowing back into my heart.

Chu Liuzheng puffed up his cheeks to cheer himself up and turned on the system.

[Eat melon, eat melon. I had only eaten half of it before I fainted. I must finish eating this melon today.]

[I think I saw Prince Xiao or something, where is he...ah, here! Wen Shangshu has been secretly exchanging letters with Prince Xiao for nearly two years. Emperor Shunguang accidentally learned about it and sent Jinyiwei to investigate.]

[Tsk tsk, the tyrant is indeed suspicious of Minister Wen. No wonder he treats Concubine Yun like that. Concubine Yun will not be able to leave until this matter is thoroughly investigated.]

[It's strange. The Ministry of Revenue is the emperor's money bag. Wen has become the minister and holds great power. Why is he flirting with a disabled prince like Prince Xiao? What is he thinking...]

Chu Liuzheng paused while searching, stared at the words for a long while, and exclaimed: [Huh? ? !]
