I became the tyrant's only belief.

Chapter 232: It is not advisable to go out
She was happy, which made Moxiang, who was unaware of the situation, very worried. She specially called Chen Xing over and asked her to talk to Chu Liuzheng more.

But Chen Xing has been busy recently, of course, not busy serving tea.

A group of strange corpses came to the Dark Guard Camp, and she had to help with the autopsies to find the cause of death. She had not been in the palace for several days, and it was all up to Mitsuki to cover for her.

Now everyone has returned to Yiran Garden, but Ke Xin is still staying in the Dark Guard Camp.

The story she told to Chu Liuzheng was also disjointed and incoherent, which made Chu Liuzheng feel very uncomfortable. It would be better for her to just brush the system and watch the show by herself.

"Have some tea and take a break." Chu Liuzheng poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to him. "I see your eyes are dark circles, did you not get enough rest?"

Chen Xing responded vaguely, holding the teacup and drinking slowly.

Chu Liuzheng knew exactly what she had been doing recently and said, "If you have something to do, go do it. You don't have to sit here with me."

"Nothing is more important than my sister." Chen Xing put down the teacup and continued with a smile.

Chu Liuzheng: “…”

She reached out to pinch Chen Xing's cheek, and Chen Xing took her wrist and looked at her hand carefully. "There are still some blood scabs that haven't fallen off. Sister, you have to be more careful."

"Yeah." Chu Liuzheng responded lightly and looked at his hands.

Although the place where the blood scab has fallen off is smooth and has no scar hyperplasia, the newly grown skin and flesh is pink and white, which is different from the surrounding skin. It is necessary to apply ointment specially formulated by the Imperial Hospital every day.

According to Doctor Li, you have to keep applying it for at least half a month.

Chu Liuzheng was wondering, would her recuperation period end in half a month or after all the blood scabs fell off?

As leisurely days passed, the answer to this question soon came to light.

On the 23rd day of the first lunar month, the auspicious day when the second prince of Western Xia married Princess Meizhen, Chu Liuzheng returned to work.

I had to take night duty on the first day, which was arranged by Zhou Yuande himself.

While Chu Liuzheng lamented that his leisurely days were gone forever, he timed his way to Changchun Palace to thank the Queen for her kindness and care during these days.

Queen Zhong was taking a nap, so Qiu Sui naturally wouldn't go in and disturb her for Chu Liuzheng.

Chu Liuzheng waited for a while at the palace gate. When she heard the eunuch who had returned say that the queen was taking a nap, she kowtowed at the palace gate, said some high-sounding words of thanks, then stood up and left, heading for the imperial kitchen.

"Oh, young lady, you came at the right time. We are just about to go to Yiran Garden." Chen Shouping said with a gray bag on his arm, smiling, "This is not a place to talk. Young lady, please come with us."

Chu Liuzheng followed him into a utility room. Chen Shouping handed the bundle to her and nodded at her, "Young lady, open it and take a look."

【Why is there such a big burden? 】

Chu Liuzheng felt strange and reached out to untie it.

The bundle contained a brand new dress, made of light red satin, which was soft and smooth to the touch. The embroidery was very simple, not the palace style.

Next to the clothes were two pairs of soft embroidered shoes, one larger and one smaller.

She had some guesses in her mind and turned to look at Chen Shouping: "Eunuch Chen, what is this?"

Chen Shouping smiled and handed her a letter, "It's included with the family letter. I brought it in for you."

He said it lightly, but Chu Liuzheng knew how difficult it was to bring things from outside the palace in.

She guessed that Eunuch Chen did this to thank her for exposing Xiao Yuzi's misappropriation of things last time, and it was also a way of returning the favor.

She tied the bundle again and bowed to Chen Shouping: "Thank you, eunuch."

"What are you doing, girl? Get up quickly." Chen Shouping reached out to help her.

Chu Liuzheng stood up and stuffed a purse into his sleeve pocket. "The Imperial Kitchen is busy. I won't bother you anymore. Goodbye."

Chen Shouping smiled and saw her off, "Have a nice day, young lady."

*
Chu Liuzheng was walking absentmindedly with her bag on her shoulder, when someone suddenly came out from the corner and they bumped into each other. The other person covered his head and cried out "Ouch". Chu Liuzheng also had a headache from the collision, and she looked across and saw a strange woman with a scar on her forehead and drooping eyebrows, looking very fierce.

The nanny saw that Chu Liuzheng was dressed simply and had no jewelry on her head. She thought that she was not a favored maid, so she glared at her and scolded, "What are you running around for, you blind, lowly bastard? You have a pair of useless eyes, gouge them out as soon as possible!"

Before Chu Liuzheng could even say an apology he was scolded. He thought to himself this nanny was so unreasonable, which palace could produce such a arrogant person?

She flipped through the system.

[Oh, a familiar face, this is Aunt Qi. ]

After scolding for a while, Nanny Qi saw that Chu Liuzheng was just staring at her, neither apologizing nor making amends. She immediately became even angrier and raised her hand to slap Chu Liuzheng.

Chu Liuzheng ducked and hit her in the stomach with his elbow.

Want to hit her?
After all, she was a servant in the imperial court; a maid from Chengbitang was not qualified enough.

"Ah!" Ma Qi shrank back in pain, holding her stomach and fell to the ground.

Chu Liuzheng patted his sleeves. It had been a long time since he last hit anyone, so fortunately he was not rusty at it.

She smiled and waved at Madam Qi, "I have to go to the imperial court to serve, so I won't talk to you anymore."

In front of the emperor?

This little palace maid is actually serving in front of the emperor!
Nanny Qi's eyes widened with shock. She no longer had the arrogance she had just now, and she didn't even dare to shout at Chu Liuzheng to stop.

[Tsk tsk, this Aunt Qi is really good at pretending. The system clearly states that she knows a bit of fighting skills, but she didn't even try to dodge just now. She's really dedicated.]

With this sudden incident, all the sadness in Chu Liuzheng's heart disappeared with the elbow, and he walked towards Yiran Garden with his bag on his shoulder.

Just as she was thinking about going back to try on the new clothes her mother had made for her, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a white shadow.

She subconsciously turned her head to look.

Nothing at all.

She blinked and wondered if she had seen it wrong.

After thinking for a while, she walked towards the place where the white shadow appeared, and unexpectedly saw two dead mice at the foot of the wall.

There should be two. Although the body was chopped into pieces, there were two heads.

[Ah~]

Chu Liuzheng frowned in disgust, his throat tightened and he almost vomited.

She looked away and took a step back.

There was no blood ball when she came here just now, so how come it appeared when she came back?
Who did it?
She looked around and indeed didn't see anyone, so she had to walk back while searching the system and found one.

[Xiao Qingzi, who was pruning flowers and trees in the imperial garden, was addicted to killing rats. He often used them to intimidate other palace servants and liked to hide in the dark and listen to their screams of fear.]

[Hey, what kind of perverted hobby is this? ]

When Chu Liuzheng saw the detailed description of the rat torturing steps in the system, he couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling, and lamented that there were so many perverts in this palace.

Thinking that the perverted Xiao Qingzi might be hiding in the dark and staring at her, she couldn't help but quicken her pace, almost jogging.

Not knowing whether it was not appropriate to go out today, Chu Liuzheng bumped into someone while walking and was knocked to the ground, falling hard on his butt.

Fortunately, I was wearing thick clothes in winter, so the fall was not very painful.

She was worried about bumping into another Aunt Qi, so she didn't even bother to get up and just looked across.

The moment I saw the person clearly, [Huh?]
