I became the tyrant's only belief.

Chapter 211 Endurance

The Dali Temple Minister and Dong Yi were both stunned. How could the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery be involved?

Xie Hui said, "Do you know, my Lords, that the second daughter of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery is engaged to the youngest son of the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Works?"

Dong Yi and the other man shook their heads. Who has the time to care about the marriages of other people's children?

Xie Hui said: "The wedding date was originally scheduled for the 23rd of next month, but the second young lady suddenly fell ill. After discussion, the two governments decided to postpone the wedding. The specific date is yet to be determined."

The Dali Temple official did not understand and asked, "What does the marriage of this young couple have to do with the case?"

He doesn't have time to listen to these family gossips now!
"Don't worry, sir." Xie Hui signaled him to be patient, "I heard that the wedding date was postponed, and I sent someone to check."

Dong Yi and the other two looked at him. He even investigated such trivial matters. Are the Jinyiwei so idle?

Of course, Xie Hui couldn't tell them that the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery had always been the focus of surveillance by the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and any slight movement would have to be investigated.

He said, "The second young lady was not suffering from a serious illness, but she ran away from her marriage on the day when the prince died. As far as I know, the second young lady had a verbal engagement with the prince. If nothing had happened, the two of them would have been happily married by now."

The unexpected event was naturally the ascension of the new emperor to the throne, and Prince Li was driven away to his fiefdom.

The Dali Temple official frowned: "Master Xie, do you mean that this second young lady is related to the death of the Crown Prince?"

"I just think it's too much of a coincidence." Xie Hui shrugged. "The second young lady is usually quiet and polite. If she didn't have her own reasons, how could she do something as disgraceful as running away from her marriage?

Moreover, she injured three servants when she escaped. She was a delicate young lady who had never practiced martial arts and was weak and infirm. How could she have done it without help?"

The Dali Temple Minister thought about this and felt that although it was far-fetched, it did make some sense.

This incident was indeed a coincidence. There are no other clues now, so we can only try our best.

The lights in the Yangxin Palace were on brightly. After taking a bath, Xiao Jingfan sat on the couch with slightly wet hair, concentrating on reading a chess book.

The warm candlelight reflected on his face, with clear light and shadow and superior contours.

Just as I was watching intently, a dark shadow suddenly climbed in from the half-open window.

Xiao Wu knelt down and saluted: "Greetings, my lord."

"Get up." Xiao Jingfan put the chess record on the chessboard in front of him and tilted his head to look at him, "How is it going?"

"The master's orders have been fulfilled." Xiao Wu said, "But that person knows very little, do you want to keep him?"

"Kill him." Xiao Jingfan said coldly, "Let Ah Jiu change his appearance and wait in the prison. We will see how they act and act accordingly."

"Yes!" Xiao Wu accepted the order and said, "Sixteen sent a message that Princess Meizhen has gained Princess Yujin's trust and everything is going according to plan, but there is one thing..."

He raised his head and glanced at Xiao Jingfan. "The Second Prince intends to send Princess Yujin to the palace as soon as possible. If Princess Yujin enters the palace, the plan may need to be changed. Please give your instructions, Your Majesty."

Enter the palace as soon as possible? Do you want him to be blinded by lust?

Xiao Jingfan sneered, "No need to change, just follow the original plan."

Xiao Wu accepted the order: "Yes!"

Xiao Jingfan asked: "Where is Xiao Da?"

"We received a message from the leader yesterday, saying that he has arrived in Hejian Prefecture." Xiao Wu said, "If we hurry up, we will be able to reach the capital tomorrow."

Xiao Jingfan nodded, "When he comes back, let him come to the palace to see me immediately."

Xiao Wu bowed and accepted the order.

The next day, it drizzled.

The hazy rain curtain enveloped the entire palace like fog, making it dark and gloomy, making people feel melancholy.

Chu Liuzheng did not feel melancholy. He listened to the faint sound of rain and fell asleep on the pillow.

[Rainy days are really the best time to sleep.] She was the only one in the room. Yuzhui went to Yangxin Palace to take charge. Moxiang watched her drink the medicine and then go to the clothing bureau, and come back before lunch.

Now that Chu Liuzheng can take care of himself, she doesn't have to watch over him all the time and can do her own things.

"Ah~" Chu Liuzheng opened his mouth and yawned, then turned over in bed, wanting to take a nap.

Yesterday, the Ministry of Internal Affairs delivered the emperor's subsidy. The joy of regaining what she had lost made her a little excited. In her dreams, she was climbing golden mountains, one after another. After waking up from a sleep, she felt more tired than before.

Unfortunately, although I felt sleepy, I couldn’t fall asleep when I closed my eyes.

Chu Liuzheng is not the kind of person who would force himself to sleep even if he doesn't have time to sleep. If he can't sleep, he can just eat melons. At least he won't have two days of free time like this.

She opened the system and looked through it.

[The Queen sent people to Huaqing Palace to take good care of Concubine Dou. Oh, so Concubine Dou can't delay any longer? The Queen's move... eh? It was actually ordered by the tyrant.]

[Uh... Tyrant, you can't bring yourself to look at the beauty but you're thinking about her, so you gave this order? ]

Xiao Jingfan, who was practicing calligraphy in the study: "..."

He slowly wrote the word "忍" on the paper.

[But the tyrant is not a person who is indecisive. If he really cares about me, visiting the sick is a good excuse. There is no need to go through such a big detour, right? ]

Chu Liuzheng pondered for a while and felt that he could continue to wait and see and not take any action in a hurry.

She flicked aside the gossip and read the next one.

[Since the beginning of winter, the Tatars have repeatedly come to Gaochang to plunder. The people living on the border change color at the sound of horse hooves and live in panic all day long.]

[What a sin! They didn't even spare the children. If you want to rob something, just rob it, but why kill people? You should let Princess Gaochang go and teach these arrogant and inhumane guys a lesson. Beat them up and make them spit out everything they ate! ]

Chu Liuzheng looked upset and angry.

[The Emperor of Gaochang is really confused. Gaochang didn't have any outstanding generals to begin with, and now he's sending a daughter with natural supernatural powers. Can't he devote resources to training his own daughter? ]

[Anyway, Princess Gaochang is very interested in leading troops to fight. Maybe she can become a famous general. Isn't this better than marrying a princess? ]

[It is better to rely on yourself than on others! Why would you let yourself be deceived by a tyrant? Is it comfortable to double the compensation? 】

Xiao Jingfan frowned. Which side did this woman stand on? What did Gaochang Kingdom do to her?

He picked up the pen and slowly wrote the second word "忍" on the paper with a hint of murderous intent.

[This is terrible. I won’t read it anymore. Next one.]

Chu Liuzheng flipped down.

[The Second Prince of Xixia plans to send Princess Yujin to the palace in the near future, trying to get Princess Yujin to persuade Emperor Shunguang to agree to sign the alliance as soon as possible.]

[Tsk tsk, you want to stir up trouble again even though your injury has healed. The Butterfly has high hopes for the Silly and Sweet Princess. But don’t you think that the Silly and Sweet Princess’ personality is capable of coaxing a tyrant?]

[If a tyrant could really be so bewitched by a face, Concubine Dou would still be in the position of imperial concubine, and there would be no way she would be demoted and confined. ]

Xiao Jingfan nodded secretly and slowly wrote a very small word "good" on the paper.

[Let me think about it. If the naive princess wants to appease the tyrant, she must at least have a queen... No, no, no, the queen's level is a bit high, and it can't be achieved in a short time, so she must be virtuous, pure, high, and thank you...]

Chu Liuzheng went through all the concubines in the harem and finally came to a conclusion helplessly.

[Forget it. Letting the naive princess play tricks on others is like sending the little sheep to the wolf pack. I guess she will die before she figured out the trick.]

[If I really want to force it, I'll probably have to borrow Butterfly's brain, or... Butterfly can do it herself! ]

Xiao Jingfan's hand trembled, leaving a long ink mark on the paper.
