I became the tyrant's only belief.

Chapter 174 Tell the truth and she loses
Wei Mingliang stared at the palace maid on the side of the road: "Raise your head."

Chu Liuzheng was stunned. Shouldn't he have just walked over? Why was he talking to her?
Just when she was stunned, a hand wearing a gold and emerald ring and with calluses on the palm of the hand reached out, pinched the tip of her chin, and lifted it up irresistibly.

Chu Liuzheng:!!!

A tall man with a slender waist, thick hair, deep eyebrows and a faint smile was reflected in the pupils that shrank due to surprise.

[Oh, these are the peach blossom eyes that make even dogs feel affectionate. They are full of electricity. No wonder the fake princess fell for them. ]

[No, whose chin are you pinching? Let go! ]

She stepped back, saved her chin, and knelt down, "Your Highness, all is well."

Wei Mingliang put his hand down, his tone containing just the right amount of surprise: "You recognize me?"

Chu Liuzheng maintained the posture of greeting, looking at the ground: "I had the honor of meeting Your Highness at the plum blossom viewing banquet hosted by Your Highness the Princess."

"No wonder I thought you looked familiar. Please stand up." Wei Mingliang looked at her. "You were wearing a scarlet yellow cloak that day, weren't you?"

"Yes." Chu Liuzheng stood up and turned his gaze from the ground to the hem of Wei Mingliang's cloak.

Wei Mingliang looked at the jewelry in her hair and found that it was just what ordinary palace maids used, nothing special about it.

He made an excuse: "I'm lost. Do you know how to get to the Imperial Garden?"

[Haha, even the maze of Xixia can't trap butterflies. Getting lost? Who are you kidding? ]

"I didn't know. Please forgive me, Your Highness." Chu Liuzheng bowed.

Wei Mingliang stared at her standard salute posture, turned the ring on his left middle finger, and said in a good-tempered manner: "Ignorance is not a crime. Since you work in the palace, you must be more familiar with the roads in the palace. Come with me to find the way."

After saying this, without giving Chu Liuzheng the chance to find an excuse to refuse, he raised his foot and walked forward.

What else can Chu Liuzheng, a little palace maid, do except follow them?
She deliberately lagged behind Wei Mingliang by two steps, but unexpectedly, Wei Mingliang took two steps back and stood shoulder to shoulder with her. He tilted his head to look at her and asked, "What's your name?"

Chu Liuzheng lowered his eyelashes and answered obediently: "My servant Cuihua."

[Who knows why Butterfly is crazy? Whoever reveals her real name is a fool. ]

The smile on Wei Mingliang's lips froze, as the name he found did not seem to be this one.

He looked at Chu Liuzheng's profile and continued to ask, "How old are you?"

Chu Liuzheng didn't even blink: "Twenty-four."

After hearing this, Wei Mingliang was sure that the maid beside him was talking nonsense, but he also continued the conversation: "It doesn't look like it."

"Oh, I look young." Chu Liuzheng smiled and flattered him, "Your Highness also looks young, not at all like a man in his thirties."

Wei Mingliang: "...I'm only twenty-three."

"Ah? Not at all..." Chu Liuzheng's eyes widened in surprise, and then she panicked and said, "What I meant is that Your Highness doesn't look like twenty-three at all, but more like eighteen."

【It depends on how you continue the conversation.】

Wei Mingliang: “…”

He decisively changed the subject: "Which palace do you work in?"

Chu Liuzheng replied: "The cold palace."

Wei Mingliang: "...Why are you here?"

Chu Liuzheng: "Wrong way."

Wei Mingliang patiently tried to find a topic to talk about: "How many years have you been in the palace?"

Chu Liuzheng: "I just entered the palace this year."

Wei Mingliang waited for her to continue, but Chu Liuzheng was very frugal with words, so he had no choice but to ask, "Do you have parents and brothers and sisters at home?"

Chu Liuzheng continued to make up a story: "No, I am a coffin child, a star of misfortune, whoever I catch will be defeated."...

The two of them walked along the way, asking each other questions and answering each other. Wei Mingliang tried hard to get information, but Chu Liuzheng insisted on replying randomly after reading the information, and if she told the truth, she would lose.

When he heard Chu Liuzheng start to make up a story about how she killed her fiancé before entering the palace, the veins on Wei Mingliang's forehead jumped twice. He paused, tilted his head, and narrowed his peach blossom eyes unkindly: "Why do I feel like you are lying to me?"

"I dare not." Chu Liuzheng shook his head innocently.

[Hey! You are the one who was deceived, you butterfly! ]

Wei Mingliang stared at her clear almond eyes for a long while, then suddenly leaned closer, startling Chu Liuzheng so much that she instinctively leaned back and almost fell down when a big hand suddenly reached her lower back, holding her and pulling her forward.

The slightly sweet scent of agarwood wafted over his face, and Chu Liuzheng threw himself into Wei Mingliang's arms: "..."

[Damn! What's this strange trend? ]

Wei Mingliang lowered his head and leaned closer, whispering in her ear: "Chu Liuzheng, you are very brave, do you think it is fun to deceive me?"

Chu Liuzheng: “…”

[Oh no, this is too much, Butterfly actually knows my real name. ]

Wei Mingliang looked at her round ears and said, "You were the little eunuch who followed Emperor Shunguang on the day of the firearms camp's drill, right?"

Chu Liuzheng: “…”

[Does his father have to be so sharp-eyed? ]

"I'm curious, how will your emperor react if I kill you here?" He said it in a joking tone, but the murderous intent in his eyes was real.

[What kind of reaction could that be? Is it difficult to change a palace maid? ]

"I am a timid servant, please don't joke with me, Your Highness. Aren't you going to the Imperial Garden? Just walk a little further." Chu Liuzheng, who was exposed, simply stopped pretending and tried to pry Wei Mingliang's fingers away, trying to get away.

Who would have thought that the hands behind the waist were like iron palms that could not be moved at all.

When she was struggling over whether to break her fingernails or step on them, Wei Mingliang said, "How about you tell me what the emperor wants you to do, and I will let you go?"

[Good question, I would like to know that too.]

Chu Liuzheng opened her mouth slightly, and was about to make up something credible, when she suddenly saw Wei Mingliang leaning down and tilting his head slightly to block her view.

???

Just when she was confused, an angry voice came, "What are you doing?"

Chu Liuzheng: “…”

Is there something wrong with this direction?

Xiao Jingfan strode over. From his perspective and that of the group of people behind him, the tall man took the woman in palace dress into his arms, their necks intertwined, in an affectionate posture, as if they were kissing.

Zhou Yuande glanced at the woman's hand wrapped in gauze and his eyelids twitched suddenly.

孽 孽!
How did Miss Liu Zheng get involved with the Second Prince of Western Xia?
Yin Taiyu looked at the scene in front of him in shock. This bastard Wei Mingliang asked him to delay Emperor Sunguang by playing chess just so he could come and tease the palace maids?

What kind of serious business is this?!
Chen Xing looked at the two people who were still hugging each other, then looked at the emperor whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He raised his hand to touch his chin and suddenly tasted something.

On the other side, Wei Mingliang, who heard the voice, stood up slowly, turned his head, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes at being interrupted.

The hand that was holding the back of the person in his arms was placed on his shoulders, and he held Chu Liuzheng in his arms and whispered to comfort him: "Don't be afraid."

Chu Liuzheng leaned obediently against his chest, with her head lowered and her cheeks flushed, looking like a shy little girl.

Seeing this, Xiao Jingfan pursed his lips and stared at her with a pair of deep eyes. His cold gaze fell on her like an ice cone and asked, "What are you doing?"

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he was asking Chu Liuzheng, but Chu Liuzheng still did not respond. Wei Mingliang raised the corner of his lips, and the hand on Chu Liuzheng's shoulder tightened: "As your majesty can see, Liuzheng and I love each other. I want to take her as my concubine. Please grant your majesty's approval."

Everyone:? ! !
