I became the tyrant's only belief.

Chapter 168 is somewhat similar
"Everyone, get up." Xiao Jingfan glanced at Chu Liuzheng and then shifted his gaze back to the ice and continued to admire the ice carp.

Chu Liuzheng wasn't sure whether he could leave.

Logically speaking, she didn't have to stand here since she wasn't on duty. However, she didn't dare to leave without the emperor's permission.

After thinking for a while, she cast a questioning look at Zhou Yuande and asked, "Can we go?"
Eunuch Zhou: "..."

Such a good opportunity, why bother? Just go for it!
Chu Liuzheng: ???

[What does this look from Eunuch Zhou mean? He wants me to leave quickly?]

She glanced at Zhou Yuande again and asked, "Am I really leaving?"
Zhou Yuande thought that the girl finally understood what he meant and nodded slightly.

Of course, come on!
Chu Liuzheng felt relieved.

[If Eunuch Zhou thinks it’s okay, then it’s definitely okay, woo woo woo! ]

She lowered her head and took small steps back, trying not to disturb the emperor's enjoyment of the ice carp.

Xiao Jingfan, who had been glancing at her from the corner of his eyes, said: "..."

He coughed lightly, turned his head, and uttered two words from his thin lips: "Come here."

Chu Liuzheng suddenly froze in place.

[Damn it! Isn't this "come here" calling me again? ]

She silently prayed that this 'come here' referred to Chenxing.

As the saying goes, if you are sincere, your prayer will come true. I have prayed so many times, and today it finally came true.

Chen Xing really came forward and asked with a smile: "What do you want, Your Majesty?"

Xiao Jingfan retracted his gaze and raised his hand to point at the ice surface: "I was reading a letter just now, and I didn't hold it firmly, so the wind blew it up. Go and get it back."

"Yes." Chen Xing took the order and walked onto the ice.

On the other side, Chu Liuzheng didn't bother to listen to what the two were saying and continued to retreat and slip away.

The movements were so sneaky that Manager Zhou's eyes twitched.

He had served His Majesty for so long, but he had never seen a maid like Chu Liuzheng. Such overwhelming wealth was right in front of him, and if Chu Liuzheng took the initiative, it would be possible.

He really couldn't understand what was going on in this girl's mind.

What is Chu Liuzheng thinking?

【Wuhu~No need to work overtime! 】

After retreating to a safe distance, she looked back.

I saw Chen Xing had already received the letter and was walking down to the ground, sliding two steps at a time.

She sighed in her heart.

[This is just Chen Xing after training. If it were me, I would have fallen countless times. Fortunately, the tyrant didn't let me pick up the letter. ]

[What kind of important letter could make the tyrant keep holding it while admiring the ice carp? ]

She walked towards the imperial kitchen while browsing the system.

Xiao Jingfan, who seemed to be admiring the ice carp but was actually eavesdropping, pricked up his ears silently.

【Wow, it’s a secret letter! 】

Chu Liuzheng's eyes sparkled. He knew there was something fishy going on when he heard about the secret letter.

She looked at the system's translation, but the more she looked, the more she felt something was wrong.

[What do you mean, Father, I was caught by the dog emperor, and the dog emperor forced me to write you a letter, asking you not to come to the capital? Did the tyrant read this letter and think he was in a good mood, so he deliberately wanted to make me angry? ]

Xiao Jingfan's face darkened. It was indeed a trick. [The tyrant shouldn't be so idle, right? What's the matter with this letter? ]

Chu Liuzheng, who hadn't read any gossip today, had no idea that Prince Cheng was captured by the Embroidered Uniform Guards. When he found the news in the system, he couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise.

[Fuck! Prince Cheng was arrested by the Royal Guards for visiting a brothel! Wasn't he going to Wanfang Tower to have a secret conversation with a butterfly? Why did he actually visit a brothel? ]

[I remember that he was a mysophobe. Although he pretended to be normal, he was extremely picky in private. How could he go to brothels like this? Does his mysophobia go away when he was having sex? ]

Chu Liuzheng flipped through it curiously, and couldn't help but gasp when he saw Hua Niang being killed.

[Hiss——stabbing through the heart, how inhumane! If you don’t like her, you can just not order the flower girl. But after ordering her, you think she’s dirty and kill her. You’re crazy! ! It’s a good thing that Mr. Xie intervened, otherwise the two flower girls ordered by Hua Hudie would not have escaped the murder. ]

[Tsk, the playboy is really quick to slip away. When she learned at the posthouse that Prince Cheng was taken away by the Royal Guards, she was stunned. She thought the tyrant had started arresting officials for sleeping with prostitutes.]

[Speaking of prostitution, there are quite a few officials who have contracted sex-related diseases because of visiting brothels.]

She glanced at the list and flipped through it.

[Ugh~ Just reading the description makes me feel sick and gives me goosebumps. 】

[The thing of Tao Shidu in the Hanlin Academy is rotten, but he is too proud to talk about it and has to endure it without treatment. It hurts so much every day but he has to pretend that everything is normal. I guess he has used up all his patience in this life. If he continues to put it off, he will really die. ]

Xiao Jingfan's pupils trembled.

Tao Shidu actually has that kind of disease!
He had just seen him the day before and helped him up with his own hands!
He suddenly felt like there were bugs crawling on his hands. He was so disgusted that he took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands frantically. He wished he could chop Tao Shidu to death!
On the other side, Chu Liuzheng was still sighing as he walked further and further away.

[Fortunately, this Tao Shidu is a single guy. After being infected by Hua Niang, he only harmed those colleagues who had the same hobby as him. Let me see, there are one, two, three, four people who have been infected. Oh, there are actually four people! ]

[If this continues to spread from person to person, from person to person...]

Chu Liuzheng shook his head in disgust, not daring to think any further.

[Sex is like a sword hanging over your head. This disease is really hard to prevent. Can't the tyrant issue an imperial decree to close the brothel and find a new way for the girls to make a living? There are many girls who were abducted and sold in Wanhualou alone. They were forced to engage in the flesh trade under the coercion and inducement of the madam...]

Chu Liuzheng kept muttering to himself as he walked further and further away, until he was out of the range where Xiao Jingfan could hear his thoughts.

His ears quieted down and he looked down at his hands which had been rubbed red by himself.

If it is true as that woman said, that more and more officials are suffering from hidden diseases, when he wants to help someone in the future, will he have to ask the Jinyiwei to investigate first to make sure that the person is not sick before he dares to lend a hand?

Frowning and thinking for a moment, he looked at Zhou Yuande and said, "Send a message to the Imperial Hospital, all the imperial doctors must be on standby at the Fengtian Hall during the court meeting tomorrow. No one is allowed to be absent."

Zhou Yuande took the order and took people to the Imperial Hospital to convey the order, but he was puzzled in his heart. Why did he call the imperial physician during the court meeting? He hadn't heard of any epidemic in any place.

Imperial Room.

"Miss, you came at an unfortunate time. Eunuch Chen has gone to the Imperial Hospital and he may not be back for sure." Xiao Yuzi ran out of the kitchen and said to Chu Liuzheng, "Why don't you come tomorrow? When Eunuch Chen comes back, I will tell him to wait for you."

"Then I'll come at this time tomorrow. Please tell him." Chu Liuzheng bowed to him and said, "I'll take my leave now."

"Hey, wait a minute, girl!" Xiao Yuzi called her and went back to the kitchen to bring out a food box. "Today's chicken soup is ready. Since you are here, why not take it back with you."

Chu Liuzheng nodded, stretched out her hand and let Xiao Yuzi put the lunch box on her arm, then said goodbye before leaving.

Xiao Yuzi watched her back disappear around the corner.

"What are you looking at? Who came here just now?" Chen Shouping, who had just returned from the toilet, walked over with his hands behind his back and raised his hand to pat Xiao Yuzi on the back of the head.

Xiao Yuzi raised her hand and touched it, then said with a smile, "It was Miss Moxiang from Nongyun Garden, who came to get the chicken soup. She asked me to tell you that Miss Liuzheng will be here at this time tomorrow."

Chen Shouping nodded: "Got it, don't be lazy, wash the vegetables in the basket."

"Hey!" Xiao Yuzi responded simply, rolled up her sleeves and went in to wash the vegetables.

Chen Shouping glanced around the corner.

He just came over and saw a figure from behind.

Why didn't he notice before that Miss Moxiang's figure was somewhat similar to Miss Liuzheng's?
