I became the tyrant's only belief.

Chapter 249: Discerning
The sunlight shines into the room, and the golden spots on the ground sway in the wind.

The person on the bed's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes, raised his hand and stretched lazily.

[Hmm~ I haven’t slept so comfortably in a long time! ]

"Sister, you're finally awake!" Chen Xing, who was guarding her, leaned his head over, with two dimples faintly visible on his face.

Chu Liuzheng had no idea that there was anyone in the room. Suddenly, a head popped up next to her, startling her so much that she almost fell off the bed.

"Sister, be careful!" Chen Xing quickly grabbed the person.

Chu Liuzheng looked at her in shock and asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

"It's already noon." Chen Xing pointed out the window and said with a smile, "I'll call my sister to eat."

Chu Liuzheng turned his head and looked out the window, and felt that the sunlight was a little dazzling.

[How come I slept until noon... Shit! I'm late!!!]

She has to be on duty this morning!!
"It's too late." Chu Liuzheng hurriedly put on his clothes.

"Don't worry, sister." Chen Xing held her hand. "Sister Yuzhui saw that you were sleeping soundly and said that it was rare for you to sleep so well, so she took your place at Wenhua Palace. You just need to take charge of Sister Yuzhui tonight."

"I see." Chu Liuzheng patted his chest and sincerely thanked his caring roommate.

Chen Xing observed her for a moment, and when he saw that she was fine, he stood up and said, "Sister, go wash up first. I'll go get lunch."

Chu Liuzheng nodded: "Thank you."

"Why are you being polite to me, sister?" Chen Xing jumped out, with two waves of pink hairband floating behind her head.

Chu Liuzheng put on his clothes, rinsed his mouth with green salt, and then went to get hot water to wash his face.

The moment she covered her face with the handkerchief, many skulls and a disemboweled male corpse suddenly flashed before her eyes.

There was blood spurting out.

Her hands shook and she almost knocked over the basin.

[Oh my goodness, how can I level up after having a nightmare? There are skulls and male corpses. I haven’t read any horror stories in the system recently.]

Chu Liuzheng felt that he was quite amazing as he was not even awakened by such a horrible nightmare.

She wrung out the washcloth and hung it on the rack, then scooped out a small piece of facial cream, melted it in the palm of her hand, and spread it evenly on her face.

A light and elegant scent of jasmine slowly spread out, making her feel relaxed.

[I fell asleep as soon as I touched the bed last night. Doctor Li's medicine was quite effective. After I finish taking the medicine, I have to prepare a gift to thank him.]

Chu Liuzheng did a simple hairstyle in front of the mirror. Seeing that Chen Xing had not brought the meal back yet, he simply moved a stool and sat by the window, basking in the sun while browsing the system.

[Oh, Wang Yushi has done a good job these days. He stays at the gate of Chun Man Yuan every day, and his notebook is almost full. Not only does he keep a record, but he also asks a few young censors to keep a record. These people only do one thing every day when they go to court, which is to impeach their colleagues for visiting brothels. ]

[Wow, he even quoted from classics. It's almost become a regular performance at the morning court. ]

[Tsk tsk, with his impeachment method, if the tyrant hadn't sent the Royal Guards to secretly protect him, this guy would have been put in a sack and thrown into the river.]

Chu Liuzheng pulled this one aside and continued to look at the rest.

[Ah, Butterfly and the fake princess are quarreling again. They quarrel almost every day since they got married, and they can quarrel over trivial matters. The things in the house have been replaced several times. Fortunately, Butterfly has some money, otherwise she would go bankrupt just by smashing things.]

[Yin Taiyu is also guilty of this. Whenever the two quarrel, he runs to mediate. His persuasion is like adding fuel to the fire. It's as if he's afraid that the two won't fight. He just adds a plate of melon seeds and peanuts and lets them eat melons on the spot.]

[Tsk tsk, the situation is chaotic, it feels like a war. I thought the fake princess would be submissive, but she is actually going against the butterfly. She is really bold. I don't know what she is planning.]

[Based on the way the couple is doing this, Hua Hudie should have no time to bother me anymore.] Chu Liuzheng was pleased to see this and continued to dig.

[The Ministry of Rites has already started preparing for the Spring Examination. That’s right, it’s already February, and almost all the candidates have arrived. The examination is scheduled for... February 12, three days later than the date the envoys leave Beijing.]

[Speaking of which, after the Lantern Festival, my eldest brother went to study at the Imperial Academy. I wonder if he is used to it.]

Chu Liuzheng looked through the information about his eldest brother.

[Eh? Big brother made friends so quickly, and two of them. The first one is... Pei Yunjian, the son of the Left Shaoqing of the Taichang Temple.]

[Uh, if I remember correctly, isn't Pei Yunjian the curved fish raised by Miss Bai? ]

Chu Liuzheng suddenly had a bad feeling and glanced at the message from the second friend.

The three words "Ren Qingxia" immediately came into view.

Chu Liuzheng: “…”

Very good, he is worthy of being her elder brother. He has never let her down.

[With so many classmates, how did you pick them out? Can't you see their obvious homosexuality? ]

Chu Liuzheng got a headache just thinking about how complicated the things behind these two things were.

Just ask if it's possible, if it's possible to make a friend who can make her worry less? !

She raised her hand to press her temple and suddenly remembered something.

[I remember that my eldest brother got along well with the new neighbor who sold alcohol. I have to check.]

She searched around.

[Selling wine, Xiao Wu... Hmm? This Xiao Wu also helped my father send the little thief to Shuntian Prefecture. He was quite enthusiastic... No, wait a minute! The little thief was Yao Zhou. Xiao Wu actually took Yao Zhou away from Shuntian Prefecture. Who is he? ]

Chu Liuzheng's eyelids twitched and rolled down quickly.

[Xiao Wu is... a secret guard?! ]

【Fuck! ! 】

Her eyes widened in shock and her mouth opened.

[There's actually a secret guard living next door to my house! ! What kind of fantasy development is this? Could there be some traitor or rebel near my house? ]

Her heart was pounding with worry, and she quickly checked the background of everyone on her street.

[Eh? Blacksmith Wang’s son is actually the son of his wife and the peddler next door, Li. These two… No, no, that’s not the point!]

Chu Liuzheng turned his attention away from the gossip and got down to business.

[Frog fun! The owner of the dry goods store at the end of the street was quietly replaced by a Xixia person.]

[This makes sense. The secret guard must have come here to monitor this group of Xixia people. His friendship with my family was just an accident.]

Chu Liuzheng had just thought about this when he felt something was wrong.

[Wait! The time doesn't match. The secret guard moved in first, and the owner of the dry goods store was replaced later. He's two days late. This secret guard named Xiao Wu can't predict the future, right? ]

[Uh... it doesn't seem impossible. Who knows, maybe the secret guard got some inside information in advance? For example, the Xixia people are going to set up secret stakes on the street where my house is.]

Chu Liuzheng guessed while flipping back the message, back to the beginning when Xiao Wu helped send Yao Zhou to Shuntian Prefecture.

She followed the clues and searched carefully.
