I became the tyrant's only belief.

Chapter 167 Sincerity leads to spiritual success
"Your Majesty, thank you for your arrival."

Xiao Jingfan raised his eyes: "Xuan."

Xie Hui walked into the hall quickly, lifted his robe and knelt down: "Your Majesty, may you be well."

"Get up." Xiao Jingfan put down the book, "Sit down."

Xie Hui stood up and sat down on a chair beside him.

Xiao Jingfan asked: "After one night, has he admitted it?"

Xie Hui shook his head: "The prince has been crying out for injustice, saying that the ministers deliberately framed him, and he refused to admit that he had sent assassins to kill Fan Chen."

"You won't cry until you see the coffin." Xiao Jingfan's eyes darkened and a hint of murderous intent flashed across his eyes.

Xie Hui took out a letter from his bosom and placed it on the desk: "Your Majesty, please take a look."

Xiao Jingfan picked up the letter, but after reading two lines, his brows furrowed and he tilted his head to look at Xie Hui: "Secret letter?"

Xie Hui nodded: "Yes, the prince said that he and King Cheng used secret letters to communicate. I found a letter on him that was also written in the same encrypted way."

"This is the decrypted content." Xie Hui took out another piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Xiao Jingfan with both hands.

The content of the letter roughly stated that some court officials suspected that Prince Cheng was planning a rebellion and advocated sending troops to encircle and suppress Prince Cheng. However, the emperor did not believe that Prince Cheng would rebel, so he specially sent people to his fiefdom to summon Prince Cheng to the capital to question him in person.

In the letter, Prince Cheng assured that the Emperor was on Prince Cheng's side and that the investigation was just a formality. As long as Prince Cheng was willing to come to Beijing, he would be cleared of suspicion and would also receive a reward.

The words used are so sincere, completely portraying the image of a good son who cares about his old father.

Xiao Jingfan shook the paper in his hand: "Written by Xiao Dunyi himself?"

Xie Hui nodded.

Xiao Jingfan read the secret letter again. If you look at the secret letter alone, it is just an ordinary letter to inform family that they are safe.

He put the secret letter aside and asked, "Xiao Dunyi was taken away by the Jinyiwei. How did Wei Mingliang react?"

Xie Hui: "There is no movement at the posthouse for now."

"No movement..." Xiao Jingfan narrowed his narrow eyes, stared at the secret letter and thought for a moment, then ordered, "Keep watching, and report any unusual movement in time. If any letter is transmitted, do your best to intercept it."

Xie Hui accepted the order and asked, "Your Majesty, are you worried that he will break into the prison?"

"I hope he is as stupid as that brainless guy Xiao Dunyan." Xiao Jingfan glanced at him and sighed, "What a pity..."

After understanding the unfinished meaning, Xie Hui also sighed. He almost stopped Wei Mingliang last night. What a pity.

He bowed and asked, "Your Majesty, should we send the secret letter immediately?"

"No hurry." Xiao Jingfan waved his hand, "I'll take a look."

The big boss said he wanted to take a look, so Xie Hui naturally had no objection.

Xiao Jingfan did not pick up the secret letter, but changed the subject. "This morning, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory reported that there was a five-star alignment in the southwest, which was an auspicious sign. An auspicious beast should have appeared. Send two teams of Jinyiwei to search for it and make sure to bring the auspicious beast back to me."

Xie Hui looked up in surprise. Doesn’t Your Majesty never believe in auspicious signs? Why did he specially send people to look for it?

Xiao Jingfan picked up the red brush and drew a strange creature on the rice paper, then handed it to Xie Hui: "Look for it according to this pattern. If you can't find it, you don't have to be the commander of the Jinyiwei anymore."

Xie Hui was startled. Is it so serious?

He immediately lowered his head to look at the weird creature on the paper. The moment he saw it clearly, the corners of his eyes couldn't help twitching and his face wrinkled like a bitter gourd.

How could this thing that looks like a pig, a cow, a horse, and a donkey be a lucky animal? Your Majesty is teasing him!

He asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, has the Imperial Observatory mentioned where the auspicious beast might appear?"

Xiao Jingfan looked up at the sky as if reminiscing, and after a while he said, "It is said that auspicious beasts often appear in high mountains and dense forests. I remember there is a white mountain or valley over there..."

"Bai Sha Valley." Xie Hui reminded. "Yes, that's Bai Sha Valley." Xiao Jingfan looked like he finally remembered, "The auspicious beast doesn't eat human food, and that place is rarely visited by people. You can go there and look for it, maybe you can find traces of the auspicious beast."

Baisha Valley?
Xie Hui's eyes moved slightly.

It is true that Baisha Valley is sparsely populated, but the place is also shrouded in poisonous miasma all year round. If it is a auspicious beast, how could it go to such an ominous place?

Does Your Majesty have any other intention behind this order?
His mind raced, he glanced at Xiao Jingfan secretly, and said, "I accept your order."

Xiao Jingfan waved his hand to signal him to leave, picked up the book and read it for a while, then lowered his head to look at the secret letter.

Xiao Dunyi is not as stupid as Xiao Dunyan. Is there really no problem with this secret letter?

Half an hour later, Chen Xing skipped into Nong Yunyuan and went straight to the room where Chu Liuzheng and Moxiang lived.

Chu Liuzheng was just about to go to the imperial kitchen to look for Eunuch Chen when he saw Chen Xing coming over at this time, and his heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

[Are you going to ask me to work overtime at Wenhua Hall again? I have very little sick leave left, please let me go! ]

"Sister Moxiang, Sister Liuzheng." Chen Xing greeted the two with a smile, and moved very skillfully to Chu Liuzheng, looking her up and down with his big eyes, "Sister, are you going out?"

Chu Liuzheng nodded: "Go to the imperial kitchen, why are you here now?"

[Please! Please don’t work overtime! ! ]

"I'm here to talk to my sister." Chen Xing supported her with a smile, "There's nothing to do in the tea room right now, so I came out for a walk."

Chu Liuzheng: “…”

[Only a secret guard would have the guts to run out and take a walk while on duty. Anyone else would be taught a lesson by Chief Supervisor Zhou in no time.]

Moxiang didn't know Chen Xing's background, she just thought she was young and playful, so she taught her softly: "If you want to talk, you can come back after your shift. It doesn't matter if you wait a few hours."

"You are sneaking out now. Once or twice is fine. Yuzhui and Siyue are here, so nothing serious will happen. But if you do it too many times, they will be willing to help you, but others will complain. Words from the palace can kill people, so don't let your temper take its course."

"I understand. Thanks for teaching me, sister." Chen Xing nodded obediently, but he was thinking in his heart that he would use a different reason next time.

Seeing that she was learning, Moxiang smiled and reached out to touch her head.

Chu Liuzheng sighed.

[Sister Moxiang looks at Chenxing with eyes that are as loving as if she were her daughter.]

She said to them, "You guys chat first, I'll be back soon."

"Wait." Chen Xing hugged her arm, "The road is slippery, I will accompany my sister to the imperial kitchen."

Without waiting for Chu Liuzheng to refuse, Moxiang nodded beside him: "I feel relieved to have you by my side."

Chu Liuzheng: “…”

[I need someone to accompany me to the imperial kitchen. In Sister Moxiang's eyes, I am only three years old when I am injured, right? ]

"Let's go." Chen Xing helped Chu Liuzheng walk away without giving him any chance to refuse. When they crossed the threshold, he kindly reminded her, "Be careful with the threshold."

Chu Liuzheng: “…”

The two of them left Nongyun Garden, and Chen Xing helped her walk towards the Moon Pond, saying as they walked, "The Ministry of Internal Affairs released two ice carps on the Moon Pond this morning. They looked just like the real ones, and their tails could still move. Sister must have never seen them."

Chu Liuzheng became interested, and since he could go to the imperial kitchen from the Moon Pond, he followed her.

But she soon regretted it.

[Fuck! Shouldn't the tyrant be reviewing documents in the Wenhua Hall now? Why is he admiring the ice carp here? ]

[Remember to check the system next time you go out! ]

Chu Liuzheng was extremely upset. While paying respect to the emperor with Chen Xing, he prayed that he would not be forced to work overtime.
