I became the tyrant's only belief.

Chapter 1 The List
In the tea room in the side hall of Wenhua Palace, after Chu Liuzheng finished the preparations for making tea, he found a seat on Zhang Wuzi and used the system in his mind to check the latest gossip.

[Chun Zhaoyi has just obtained a book of secret play pictures. She has been practicing quietly in the palace for three consecutive days, intending to give the emperor a surprise. Tsk tsk, I heard that Chun Zhaoyi lives up to her name, with a sexy face and a hot body. If she strikes certain poses, wouldn't it be... ahem, I really envy the tyrant's good fortune! ]

[Last night, the Imperial Concubine tried the beauty cream provided by the Imperial Hospital. As a result, she got a rash on her face this morning. If it is not cured in the short term, it may leave scars. It's what you deserve! Evildoers will be punished. You always slap the palace maids for fun. You are getting your retribution! ]

[The eldest princess and her husband use a concubine...]

Chu Liuzheng had just read the beginning when he suddenly heard a slightly shrill voice.

"Miss Liu Zheng, the court meeting has ended. His Majesty has summoned the Minister of Revenue, the Minister of Personnel, and Wenyuan Pavilion Grand Secretary Zhang to discuss matters in Wenhua Hall. Is the tea ready?"

Zhou Yuande, the eunuch serving Emperor Shunguang, walked quickly into the tea room with a whisk in his hand. Seeing Chu Liuzheng sitting on the stool in a daze again while on duty, he couldn't help but want to scold him.

But the words were already on the tip of his tongue when he suddenly remembered how his Majesty treated this person differently, and he immediately swallowed the scolding back, causing his expression to become slightly distorted.

"Eunuch Zhou, please rest assured that I will be your errand boy."

Chu Liuzheng stood up, bent down to smooth out a wrinkle on her skirt, and pointed at the long table.

"The weather in autumn is very dry. Your Majesty has been staying up late these past two days reviewing memorials, which has put a lot of pressure on you. I specially prepared lotus seed, lily and longan tea, which has the effect of clearing the heart and moistening the lungs, and calming the mind."

"I have prepared the teas that the adults who often come to the Wenhua Hall to discuss matters like. The three of us today, the Minister of Revenue likes Pu'er, the Minister of Personnel likes Longjing, and Zhang Daxueshi likes Dahongpao. Please listen to me and see if I remember it correctly?"

"That's right." Zhou Yuande showed a satisfied smile on his face. "As expected of someone trained by the Queen, he is thorough and considerate when doing his job."

Chu Liuzheng smiled back with his lips pursed, mumbling in his heart:
[No wonder he can hold the position of the top leader beside the tyrant. Look, this sentence praised two people and also praised the queen a little. If the queen heard it, how could she not remember his kindness? ]

Zhou Yuande urged, "Since everything is ready, don't delay. Your Majesty and the three adults are still waiting."

"Yes." Chu Liuzheng took the copper kettle from the charcoal stove and lowered his head to make tea according to the steps.

Her fingers are slender and white and tender like the tips of lotus roots. Even when she makes the same action of making tea, it looks better than others.

Zhou Yuande stared at them for a while and thought that just this pair of white jade-like hands could attract His Majesty to look at them a few more times.

"I remember Miss Wan Tang was also on duty today, why is she not here?"

Judging from Zhou Yuande’s tone, he seemed about to lose his temper.

Chu Liuzheng's hands kept moving as he explained softly, "She got up this morning and drank some cold water to save trouble. She suddenly had a stomachache and went to the toilet. She will be back soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man came back.

Seeing Zhou Yuande standing in the tea room, Jiang Wantang was startled and quickly knelt down to salute: "Hello, Eunuch Zhou."

Zhou Yuande turned around, reprimanded her with a sullen face, and then gave Chu Liuzheng some instructions before leaving.

Jiang Wantang stuck out her tongue at his back, then moved closer and held Chu Liuzheng's arm affectionately: "Thank you so much for what you did just now, sister. Otherwise, who knows how Eunuch Zhou would have taught me a lesson."

Chu Liuzheng handed her a wooden tray and said, "Eunuch Zhou is doing this for your own good. Will you still drink cold water in the future?"

"I don't dare drink it anymore." Jiang Wantang helped put the glass teacups on the table onto the tray.

There were two trays in total, one for the emperor's tea and one for the other three cups of tea.

"Sister, let's go quickly." Jiang Wantang picked up the tray with lotus seeds, lily and longan tea and walked out first.

Chu Liuzheng was aware of Jiang Wantang's little thoughts. Not only did he not want to argue with her, he also wanted to grab her hand and thank her.

May good people have a peaceful life!

She lowered her head and carefully wrote down what the three cups of tea were. Only after confirming that she was correct did she pick up the tray and follow.

……"Snapped!"

In the Wenhua Hall, Emperor Shunguang Xiao Jingfan threw the memorial in his hand to the ground.

"Your Majesty, please calm down." The three ministers in the hall immediately knelt down. The Minister of Personnel trembled slightly and sweated profusely.

"Calm down?" Zhang Yang raised his eyebrows, and Xiao Jingfan snorted coldly, "A county official, instead of seeking benefits for the people, allowed cruel officials to plunder the people's wealth. He embezzled as much as 50,000 taels in just two years in office. The people under his rule complained and suffered terribly. If Zhang Qian hadn't secretly investigated and found out, how long would you have continued to deceive me? How can I calm down?!"

The three ministers trembled together and shouted, "The emperor's health is the most important thing. Your Majesty, please calm down."

Looking at the three old foxes in the court below, Xiao Jingfan's anger rushed to his forehead.

Calm down, calm down. Besides calming him down, what else can these so-called loyal ministers do? !

How could an eighth-rank county magistrate be so capable of concealing the truth?

He didn't believe that these three old guys really knew nothing about it!
[Dad, the tyrant is angry, you came at the wrong time! ]

Hearing this familiar voice, Xiao Jingfan's anger, which was about to make his hair stand up, suddenly stopped. He moved his gaze to the entrance of the hall, and as expected, he saw a familiar figure standing against the wall.

[Are you going to give this tea away or not? The tyrant is so angry, today is probably the day for this glass teacup to be sacrificed. Oh, what a waste of things. ]

[The three of you are kneeling on the ground. I guess you don't have time to drink tea. How about I go back to the tea room first? ]

Chu Liuzheng was about to slip away, but Jiang Yongshi beside him came over with a tray and walked towards the tyrant gracefully.

"!!!"

If you don't want your life, I will!

Seeing Chu Liuzheng standing there motionless, Zhou Yuande quickly winked at her: Go quickly!
Chu Liuzheng: “…”

Just grit your teeth and go!
[Ahhhh!! Damn tyrant, I was doing a good job in Changchun Palace, why did you transfer me to serve in front of the emperor?! ]

[The tyrant is so angry, and the group of people behind the corrupt official are greedy for no less than 50,000 taels. If they are all found out, won’t the tyrant be so angry that he will die? ]

[I still remember the list in the gossip. It included Zhejiang Provincial Governor Lu Jiarui, Commander-in-Chief Zhong Zhichen, Taizhou Prefect Cao Junhao, Assistant Official Liu... a total of fourteen people. Wow, there are so many corrupt officials.]

Xiao Jingfan, who didn't hear a word, said: "..."

Thank you for the invitation, I am already pissed off!!

He suddenly grabbed the glass teacup and threw it to the ground. The scalding tea mixed with the fragments splashed everywhere, frightening Jiang Wantang so much that she covered her face and screamed, "Ah!"

Xiao Jingfan didn't even look at her, and said coldly: "Drag him out and beat him to death!"

Immediately, a young eunuch came forward, blocked Jiang Wantang's mouth, and dragged him out.

He didn't even give me a chance to beg for mercy.

Jiang Wantang was so scared that her face was covered with tears, and she looked at Chu Liuzheng for help.

Chu Liuzheng lowered his eyes and sighed in his heart.

Silly girl, no matter how handsome a tyrant looks, he is still a tyrant who kills people without blinking an eye.

Alas! The third warrior is gone this month, and she has to find a new roommate. Dare she find someone who can stick with her for a longer time?
She doesn’t want to serve the tyrant alone!!!

While the tyrant wasn't paying attention, Chu Liuzheng quietly put down the teacup and tried to slip away, but he suddenly heard an angry voice: "Stop!"
