I became the tyrant's only belief.

Chapter 242: Unhappy

"Your Majesty, all is well." Prince Rui knelt down to greet him. Perhaps because he was coming to see the emperor, he was not wearing the snow-white outfit he wore last night.

However, the moon-white gauze brocade robe made him look as gentle as jade, and he still had a fairy-like air.

Chu Liuzheng took a few stealthy glances.

【It’s a feast for the eyes. 】

Xiao Jingfan: "..."

What's there to see in a fake?

He waved his hand to the kneeling man and said, "Stand up. There's no need to be so polite among family members."

"Etiquette cannot be abolished." King Rui stood up and saw Chu Liuzheng was there, so he asked with a smile, "Are you healed?"

Chu Liuzheng nodded and didn't dare to say another word.

Because she found that the emperor began to glare at her again, and his gaze was like an ice knife, just short of carving the words "you are going to die" on her back.

She was really puzzled.

[When King Rui spoke a few more words to me, the tyrant glared at me. Could it be that the tyrant is also an invisible brother-con? ]

Xiao Jingfan:?

What is brother control?
[Tsk tsk, the tyrant has such a strong possessiveness towards the younger brother of Prince Rui. If he knew that the one in front of him was just a fake and the real one was still suffering at the hands of the Fifth Prince's wife, I wonder how crazy he would be.]

Xiao Jingfan was stunned. His ninth brother was in the hands of that evil woman?
[I remember that the Fifth Prince's wife seemed to have gone to the Western Regions to celebrate the New Year. I don't know if she has returned yet.]

Chu Liuzheng quietly flipped through the system.

[Hmm... The Fifth Prince's Consort... Got it! It's easy to find someone with special skills like this.]

[She is now in... uh, Yangjiazhuang in Yancheng. ]

Chu Liuzheng felt that the name "Yancheng" was familiar, she must have seen it somewhere.

Just as he was thinking about it, Xiao Jingfan, who was eavesdropping, had a dark light flashing in his eyes.

Yancheng is right next to Baisha Valley!
At the same time, Chu Liuzheng also remembered.

[Hey, Yancheng is the closest city to Baisha Valley. The Dragon Shadow Guards of the Fifth Prince's wife are still hiding in Baisha Valley. Is she going to find the Dragon Shadow Guards? ]

[I remember that the tyrant sent the Royal Guards to Baisha Valley to look for that auspicious beast a few years ago, but there is still no news. After the New Year, Lord Xie sent two more teams of Royal Guards to help find it. So, isn't the Fifth Prince's wife playing hide-and-seek under the Royal Guards' noses? ]

[Hiss——It's a bit exciting. Only because the Fifth Prince's wife knows how to disguise herself can she be so bold. It shows that it is necessary to master several skills. I want to open a restaurant after leaving the palace. How about going to the imperial kitchen to learn a few tricks from the chef? ]

Xiao Jingfan: "..."

How did the topic get diverted? Can we get back to business?
Opening a restaurant is the perfect thing for Chu Liuzheng, and she has already started thinking about which chef to look for.

[Chef Wang has a bad temper. I heard that he always trains his apprentices like dogs. No, no. Chef Zhou has a good temper, but the dishes he makes are too bland. No, no. Chef Qi...]

Xiao Jingfan, who didn't want to know what dishes the chef in the imperial kitchen was good at, asked Chu Liuzheng to make tea for Prince Rui.

Chu Liuzheng went out muttering to himself, leaving a faint minty scent when he passed by King Rui.

Prince Rui glanced at her feet, then retracted his gaze and turned to look at the emperor behind the imperial desk, "Brother, you didn't even tell me that my sister-in-law was pregnant. I didn't bring any gifts. I want to leave the palace and go back to the palace to get some things."

Xiao Jingfan raised his eyebrows: "Whatever you have in your house is also available in the palace. Just tell me if you need anything. You are not feeling well. Yesterday the imperial physician told you to rest. Don't go anywhere now. Just stay in the palace."

"But..." Before Prince Rui could finish his words, Xiao Jingfan interrupted him, "If you have nothing to do, go and talk to your mother more. I'll ask Zhou Yuande to take you there."

King Rui: "..."

Zhou Yuande invited him with a smile, "The sedan chair is ready, please come in, Your Majesty."

"I obey your command." King Rui had no choice but to get up and leave with Zhou Yuande.

Chu Liuzheng was just coming in with tea. When he saw Zhou Yuande leading King Rui out, he quickly stepped aside.

Prince Rui stopped, took the tea on the tray and took a sip, then said to Zhou Yuande, "Eunuch Zhou should stay and serve my brother. Just let her take me to the Wanshou Palace."

Chu Liuzheng:?

[Damn! I smell so much like medicine, this fake guy wouldn't still suspect me, would he?] Zhou Yuande glanced at Chu Liuzheng and said in embarrassment: "Your Majesty, His Majesty has ordered me to lead the way for you."

Prince Rui frowned in dissatisfaction. Just as he was about to say something else, a voice came from inside the palace, "Add more tea."

Chu Liuzheng took the opportunity to slip into the hall and get more tea.

*
Chen Xing jumped into the tea room carrying a plate of plum blossom cakes, "Sister, the imperial kitchen sent it..."

Her voice stopped abruptly. She tiptoed over and peeked at the person lying on the table. Seeing Chu Liuzheng sleeping soundly with his eyes closed, she couldn't help but stick out her tongue and put the plum cake aside.

She went out to look for Xiao Anzi and asked, "Did His Majesty summon many people this morning?"

Xiao Anzi shook his head, "Your Majesty only met with the two adults."

Hearing this, Chen Xing felt strange. If there were only two of them, there shouldn't be much work to do. How could Chu Liuzheng be so tired that he fell asleep?
She thought so and asked so. Xiao Anzi looked around and saw that his master was not there, so he whispered to her: "Your Majesty was in a bad mood this morning. He asked for more tea, then asked for a change of tea. Sometimes he complained that the tea was too hot, sometimes he complained that the tea was cold. He was so troublesome..."

"What are you talking about?" A sinister voice suddenly sounded, startling Xiao Anzi who was concentrating on speaking and Chen Xing who was listening attentively. They turned around and saw that it was the fat eunuch.

Chen Xing immediately greeted him with a smile: "Hello, Eunuch Zhou. I suddenly remembered that there is still water boiling in the tea room, so I'll leave first."

She turned and ran, running very fast, leaving Xiao Anzi to fight alone.

Xiao Anzi: "Master, Master."

He stammered nervously, feeling extremely guilty.

Zhou Yuande glared at him with a stern face.

"I was wrong." Xiao Anzi's eyebrows drooped, trying to explain himself, "It was Miss Chenxing who asked me..."

Zhou Yuande snorted heavily.

"From now on, no matter who asks me, I won't say anything." Xiao Anzi quickly changed his words, fearing that he would be beaten by his master with a whisk in the next second.

Zhou Yuande was slightly satisfied and taught his apprentice: "Listen more, watch more, and talk less. If you say a wrong word while serving His Majesty, you will lose your head. Don't blame me for not remembering the relationship between master and apprentice."

Xiao Anzi nodded obediently: "Thank you for your teachings, Master."

Seeing that he was listening, Zhou Yuande felt relieved. He glanced around, leaned close to him and whispered, "Be careful about the situation."

Xiao Anzi was stunned. What does this mean?

Zhou Yuande pointed to the tea room and raised the handle of his whisk to knock on the brim of his hat, "Boy, fools have good fortune."

Xiao Anzi:!

At the same time, inside the Wenhua Hall.

A dark figure knelt in front of the imperial desk, "My Lord, Lao Jiu used a fake death drug, and the people in the company didn't notice it. This is the account book that Lao Jiu copied, please take a look, my Lord."

Xiao Jingfan said: "Bring it here."

Xiao Er stood up and handed him the account book with both hands.

Xiao Jingfan looked through the account book and asked, "Have you put the things in?"

Xiao Er nodded: "They are all put in, and we can arrest people at any time."

"Keep an eye on them first." Xiao Jingfan said coldly, "After the envoy leaves, we will catch them all in one fell swoop."

"Yes." Xiao Er bowed and accepted the order.

Thinking of something, Xiao Jingfan suddenly raised his eyes to look at him. Xiao Er was frightened and puzzled at the same time.

If you have any instructions, just tell me!

Xiao Jingfan could talk without looking at him. Seeing that Xiao Er didn't understand at all, he could only say: "Switch with Eleven."

He has to keep someone smart around him.

Xiao Er: "..."

Is he disliked by his master?
