I became the tyrant's only belief.

Chapter 240 Only a Fool Follows
"That's a lot of rouge and powder. I only use it two or three times a month. It will take me forever to use it up, right?"

Chu Liuzheng held his chin and sighed. It would be better to just reward her with silver. Gold would also be fine. She is not picky.

In line with the good sisterhood principle of sharing happiness, Chu Liuzheng picked and chose, and divided the pile of things into six portions, one each for Moxiang, Yuzhui, Siyue, Chenxing and Xia Qiaoru, and she kept one portion for herself.

"This is pearl cream from Nanyang. Many ladies don't have it. Can you really give it to me?" Yuzhu was worried that Chu Liuzheng didn't know how rare these things were, so she quickly reminded her.

"Really?" Chu Liuzheng stuffed several boxes into her arms. "The weather is getting hot soon. How can I use all these? It's a waste to keep them."

"Then I won't be polite with you. I will share the reward with you." Yuzhui happily put the pile in his arms into the cabinet, ready to try it tomorrow.

She closed the cabinet and waved to Chu Liuzheng: "I'm going to work. You and Sister Moxiang just need to keep the door open for me. You don't have to wait for me. Go to bed early."

"Okay." Chu Liuzheng agreed, thinking of sending the things for Chen Xing and Si Yue to next door first, but he found that the door could not be opened, and no one answered after he shouted twice.

Xia Chan, who was passing by, said, "I just saw Chen Xing go out."

She looked at what Chu Liuzheng was holding with a somewhat envious expression.

Chu Liuzheng was not the kind of person who would give away money. He smiled, thanked her, and went back with the things.

Moxiang came back with water and was about to wash her face when she saw her come in with something in her arms. She asked in confusion, "Is Chenxing not here?"

"It seems like she has gone out." Chu Liuzheng put the things in his arms on the table and picked up a small gray bag next to it. "I'm going to go see Qiao Ru. If Chen Xing comes back soon, sister, help me give her the things."

"Okay." Moxiang agreed and watched her go out.

"It's getting late. I'm leaving now. I'll come see you again in two days." Chu Liuzheng waved to Xia Qiaoru.

"Wait a moment." Xia Qiaoru called her, carried a small bag and returned to the house. After a while, she came out with a white porcelain jar.

"I met Yuzhu this afternoon. She said you haven't been sleeping well these days and have been dreaming a lot. I made you a decoction of calming spirits with dragon teeth and calamus. I wanted to send it to you tomorrow morning. Since you are here, you can take it back. You have a bad stomach, so remember to heat it up before drinking."

"Okay, thank you for your concern." Chu Liuzheng felt warm in his heart and reached out to take it and hold it in his arms.

"Why are you being polite to me?" Xia Qiaoru walked her out and did not return until she was out of sight.

The moon was obscured by clouds and the moonlight was as thin as a veil. Occasionally, one or two palace lanterns swayed in the wind, making the shadows on the wall dance.

Chu Liuzheng tightened his scarf, and the white shadow he had dreamed of these days kept flashing through his mind, walking quickly with the porcelain jar in his arms.

Suddenly, a white shadow flashed around the corner ahead.

Chu Liuzheng paused and blinked.

【Frog fun! Isn't that a coincidence?】

Although curiosity kills the cat, Chu Liuzheng had been having dreams that made him doubt his life recently, but he firmly believed that there could be no ghosts in the world. He hesitated for less than a second between chasing after it and not chasing after it. He decisively placed the porcelain jar behind a large water tank not far away, and then... squatted down and turned on the system.

[Only a fool would follow him. He was wandering around the palace in white at night. He should be ranked in the top ten of the Palace Horror List, right? I don't believe that there is no such person in the system.]

In order to avoid being brushed off by new gossip, she dove headfirst into the system's melon field and started searching through it as quickly as possible.

[Damn! A white skirt and white socks are fine, but why are there white panties and a bellyband as well? System, can you please be serious...Ah! Found it!!!]

Chu Liuzheng was so excited that he shouted in his heart and couldn't wait to poke it open and take a look.

As he looked, his once bright eyes dimmed like a candle in the wind.

[Damn! You fake bastard, why don’t you stay in Jingming Palace and cosplay the sickly but super white moonlight Rui Wang? Why are you wandering around in a seven or eight layer cloud brocade gauze dress? Are you cosplaying a big bunch of cotton? ]

Chu Liuzheng was so angry. When she saw the white shadow, the counterfeit had not yet entered Beijing. It was obvious that the white shadow had nothing to do with the counterfeit.

Disappointed, she wanted to shut down the system, but then she thought that since she was already here, she had been searching for so long, and it would be worthwhile to see if the counterfeit was wandering around in the middle of the night.

So continue to look down.

As he watched, his pair of curved eyebrows unconsciously twisted into caterpillars.

[Wait a minute, wasn't this counterfeit hired by the Fifth Prince's wife to trap the tyrant? Why is he connected to the Xixia spies?] She said she was a little confused.

[Aunt Qi, which side are you from? ]

She originally thought that Aunt Qi was just a small follower, but now it seems like she is a small boss.

Chu Liuzheng rolled up his sleeves in his heart, and just as he was about to look up Madam Qi's life story, a clear voice suddenly came from above his head, "What are you doing?"

【Fuck! ! 】

Chu Liuzheng was so frightened that his hair almost stood up.

She slowly raised her head, and a face with a green glow came into view.

Pupils shrink suddenly.

In order to survive, she had vowed not to scream in the palace unless she couldn't help it.

Now it’s just a matter of time.

"what--"

The man quickly covered her mouth and leaned closer, saying, "Shh! It's me, don't scream!"

[Fuck! It’s a fake! ]

Because they were close, Chu Liuzheng was forced to see the person's face as white as moonlight. His already tense heart instantly jumped to his throat and was threatening to burst out at any time.

[It's over! Is this guy going to kill me to silence me? But I didn't follow him, how can I be discovered by checking the system? ]

Seeing Chu Liuzheng calm down a little, King Rui let go of his hand that was covering her, and raised a faint smile, "Why are you here?"

"I'm going to the pharmacy to get some medicine." Chu Liuzheng calmly took out the porcelain jar from behind the water tank, and then calmly made up a lie, "It was too dark and I accidentally sprained my ankle. I'll rest here for a while and leave when it doesn't hurt so much."

Hearing this, King Rui picked up the lantern on the ground and looked at her feet. Chu Liuzheng tucked her feet into her skirt with a guilty conscience, and cooperated by making a "hissing" sound as if she was in pain and gasping for air.

"I'm sorry." King Rui realized his abruptness, looked away, and asked gently, "Can you still leave?"

[Nonsense, I've acted like this, of course I can't leave! ]

Chu Liuzheng frowned and shook his head, looking very weak.

[I am a white lotus. I am a white lotus. I am a white lotus…]

It's better to be a white lotus than to be cannon fodder.

King Rui handed her the lantern and motioned for her to take it.

Chu Liuzheng:?

[No way, what happened to the way I was said to be approachable and popular? I've pretended to be like this, but you still want me to hold the lantern for you? Where's my humanity? Or is my acting really that fake? ]

Just when she was wondering if her acting skills had regressed, Prince Rui simply put the lantern in her arms, put one arm around her shoulders, and the other hand over her knees, and picked her up sideways.

Chu Liuzheng instinctively hugged the lantern in his arms tightly and sighed.

[It turns out that the green light just now was because the light from the lantern shone on the glass beads on the counterfeit's belt. It almost scared me to death.]

[Hmm? Wait a minute! This doesn’t seem to be the point! ]

Chu Liuzheng stared at the very white moonlight's face which was so close to him.

[Is the fake person's character broken? Does a sickly person have the strength to carry a princess? 】

[Uh, wait, a princess hug?! Frog fun! Why was I hugged by a fake guy? ]
