I became the tyrant's only belief.

Chapter 183: Did a Pig Eat Your Brain?

"morning."

After waking up from a sleep, Chu Liuzheng, feeling refreshed, greeted Moxiang and Yuzhu who were washing up in the room.

Yuzhui was washing her face and replied vaguely, "Morning."

Moxiang combed her hair and turned to look at her: "I heard you spent half the night baking pancakes, and I was thinking about today's breakfast, why did you fall asleep before the pancakes were baked?"

"Sister, you are always mischievous." Chu Liuzheng raised his hand and stretched lazily. "If sister wanted to eat cakes, she shouldn't have tried so hard to persuade me yesterday. Now that she has persuaded me and made me think clearly, how can I eat the hot cakes today?"

"Listen to what she says." Moxiang turned to look at Yuzhui, "She even said I can be naughty, but when she is naughty, she is much better than me."

"Don't involve me in your quarrel." Yuzhui put the towel on the shelf and walked out, saying, "I'm in a hurry to eat some cakes!"

She ran out of the door and heard laughter coming from inside the house. She leaned her head out through the door frame and saw two people in the house laughing face to face.

She curved her eyebrows and smiled, "I'll tease you two for once. You wait in the room, I'll bring back breakfast."

"Okay." Moxiang agreed with a smile, "I just happened to be helping Liu Zheng wash up, thank you for making this trip."

"Why are you being so polite to me?" Yuzhui waved his hand and went to get breakfast.

Chu Liuzheng yawned as he sat on the bed, cooperating mindlessly with Moxiang while flipping through the system gossip to wake himself up.

[The tea-serving maid Chen Xing assisted the Imperial Guards in capturing several arsonists, and all of them were brought to justice. Tsk tsk, another night of bloodshed. With the rate of death in the palace, there was no need to paint the walls red, the blood would be enough.]

[Shock! Emperor Shunguang moved around three times in the harem last night, and the reason was actually this! ]

[It? What is that? Let me take a look... Well, Tyrant was very busy last night, so he turned over Lady Zhu's sign and went to Qiushuizhai to have dinner with Lady Zhu. He only ate two bites of food and left... Wait! This process is wrong, why did he leave? Didn't the food at Qiushuizhai suit his taste? ]

She reached down curiously.

[Oh, I don't like the jasmine powder that Lady Zhu used. Lady Zhu dressed up specially to make the tyrant feel refreshed, but the tyrant was so unromantic that he was sulking all night and ran to Changchun Palace to pay respects to the queen before dawn.]

[Fortunately, I was smart and didn't use the imperial jasmine powder when I was on duty. Otherwise, if the tyrant smelled it, I would have ended up like Cai Baolin, washing myself in the Moon Pond. In this cold winter, wouldn't I have lost my life? ]

[Hmm... After the tyrant left Qiushuizhai, he went to Maohua Palace. He should be going to see Consort Chun, right? ]

[Guessed it right! As expected, Concubine Chun is special in the heart of the tyrant. The daughter of a mentor and a talented disciple, it's a template for many romance novels. ]

[If he went to three places, he shouldn't have stayed in Maohua Palace. It's strange. He left Lady Zhu behind and went there on purpose. Why did he leave? ]

[Uh, because Consort Chun's earrings look like jasmine buds...Frog fun! Jasmine again, does the tyrant hate jasmine so much? I haven't heard of it before, why do you suddenly hate it?]

[Isn't there anything with jasmine in my remaining jewelry? ]

Chu Liuzheng was thinking as she tilted her head back and let Moxiang apply facial cream on her. Suddenly, she smelled a faint and elegant scent of jasmine. She was immediately startled and asked hurriedly, "Is the facial cream you applied to me made with jasmine oil?"

Moxiang nodded, and while spreading the liquid evenly for her, she said, "You gave it to me when you were first transferred to serve tea in front of the emperor. It was hot at the time and I couldn't use it, so I kept it. When autumn came, I wanted to find it and use it, but I forgot where I put it. I thought I had lost it, but I found it yesterday in the sleeve pocket of my half-burned clothes. Fortunately, the box was not damaged, so it can still be used."

Hearing this, Chu Liuzheng lowered his eyes to look at the box containing the facial cream. It was a square peach wood box, and it was indeed a meeting gift from her to Moxiang.

At that time, she was suddenly transferred to serve tea in front of the emperor. She was very nervous. Although she heard that Moxiang was easy to get along with, had a very good temper, and was willing to give advice, she still gave Moxiang the best thing she had on hand, adhering to the principle that more courtesy is better.

"Since I didn't see you using it, I thought you didn't like it." Chu Liuzheng smiled and sighed, "It's only been a few months since I was transferred to the imperial court, but it feels like several years have passed."

"You picked it with great care, how could I not like it?" Moxiang took the sandalwood comb and gently combed Chu Liuzheng's messy hair, saying softly, "It's no wonder you feel that life is long. Serving in front of the emperor always requires extra care and consideration of everything. It's inevitable that it's hard to bear with too much thinking, and life will naturally be long."

Chu Liuzheng nodded in agreement: "I just hope that the days will go by faster, and it would be best if a year would pass in the blink of an eye." In this way, eight years would be just a matter of eight blinks of an eye.

Moxiang smiled and shook her head, "It's really as you said. It's fast, but it's too boring. It's better to have a moderate speed."

"Sister, what you said makes sense." Chu Liuzheng agreed and turned sideways to make it easier for Moxiang to braid her hair.

Her hair was thick and long, and Moxiang wanted to make it more delicate, so it would take more time to braid it.

Feeling bored with just waiting, Chu Liuzheng reopened the system and continued to browse the gossip.

[I just saw the second one. Is this the third one... Changchun Palace? No, the tyrant only stopped the imperial sedan at the gate for a moment. He didn't even see the queen. The third one should be the Yangxin Palace.]

[Tsk tsk, no wonder the tyrant came so quickly after hearing about the fire in Nongyun Garden. It turned out that it was because Eunuch Zhou was almost punished and had no time to persuade the tyrant. If it was the usual Eunuch Zhou, he would have delayed until the fire was completely extinguished. ]

[Eh? The next one is still about a tyrant. Emperor Shunguang drank strong tea and stayed up for half the night. The reason is unknown.]

[Tsk tsk, the system doesn't know sometimes. The tyrant hasn't been sleeping well for a few days. He's been trying to stay up half the night. I guess he's thinking about some national affairs again.]

Chu Liuzheng quickly scanned this gossip and looked at the next one.

[The Imperial Astronomical Observatory observed the strange phenomenon of five stars in a row in the southwest, and reported to Emperor Shunguang that a lucky beast had descended. Tsk tsk, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory was really stubborn. How could the tyrant believe that there were such things as lucky beasts in the world...Frog! The tyrant actually believed it! ]

[No, wait! Did the tyrant have his brain chewed by a pig? Rather than believing that there are auspicious beasts in the poisonous miasma of Baisha Valley, it is better to believe that there are gods in heaven! In a place where even plants eat people, auspicious beasts will become poisonous beasts if they enter, and they may even raise a Gu King.]

[The tyrant even specifically ordered the Jinyiwei to go to Baisha Valley to search for the auspicious beast. If the auspicious beast is not found, Lord Xie will not even be able to serve as the commander. Uh... dismissing a trusted minister because of a fictitious auspicious beast, isn't this wrong in every way? ]

Chu Liuzheng suspected that she had seen a fake melon, so she hurriedly looked for relevant information and confirmed it from a few pieces of gossip.

[Will the tyrant become the kind of emperor who ignores state affairs and devotes himself to seeking immortality, thus ruining the foundation of his ancestors? ]

Chu Liuzheng couldn't help but worry about the future of Dasheng.

If her elder brother passed the imperial examination and became an official in the future, and met an emperor who only wanted to seek immortality and enlightenment, there would be no future for him no matter how you think about it!
