Chapter 16: Bold Madman
At night, with the moon high in the sky, Xiao Jingfan came out of Maohua Palace in a good mood and got on the sedan chair to go to the Yangxin Palace.

Zhou Yuande was walking closely beside him when suddenly someone pulled his sleeve back.

He looked back and saw that it was his apprentice Xiao Anzi.

He paused, and Xiao Anzi immediately stepped forward and whispered in his ear, "Master, just now a young eunuch who works as a handyman in the pharmacy came to look for you, claiming to be Xiao Xiazi, saying that Miss Liu Zheng is missing."

Zhou Yuande was surprised. He had some impression of the name Xiao Xia Zi, who was of the same type as Chu Liuzheng.

But wasn't he recuperating in Nongyun Garden? How could he suddenly disappear?
"What are you talking about?" Xiao Jingfan turned his head and glanced at the two of them.

The sedan chair then stopped.

Zhou Yuande hurriedly trotted a few steps and bowed to report: "Your Majesty, just now a eunuch named Xiao Xiazi came to report that Miss Liu Zheng was missing. I was just about to send someone to Nongyun Garden to check, and maybe the girl was bored and went out for a walk, and now she has returned."

Xiao Anzi thought that eunuch Xia had already searched all around Nongyun Garden and didn't see anyone. With Miss Liu Zheng's steady personality, if she went for a walk, she would never go far.

But looking at his master's expression, he wisely swallowed his words.

There must be a reason why the master reported to His Majesty in this way, so he should just learn from him.

He actually disappeared!
Xiao Jingfan's good mood was gone in an instant. He looked at Zhou Yuande and said, "Go find someone. When you find him, bring him to the Yangxin Palace to report back."

Oh, Your Majesty really values ​​Miss Liu Zheng.

Zhou Yuande bowed and accepted the order, then turned around and told Xiao Anzi to take people to look for it.

Xiao Anzi and his men left in a hurry.

Xiao Jingfan thought about it and shouted into the air: "Eleven."

A black shadow appeared out of nowhere and knelt respectfully beside the sedan chair.

"You go too." Xiao Jingfan said, "Bring the person back to me safely."

That woman's system is very useful and can't be destroyed like this.

Zhou Yuande was shocked. In order to find Chu Liuzheng, His Majesty actually used secret guards.

This is a secret guard who is only used for confidential matters!
He actually sent her to find a little palace maid!!
This requires much attention!

Miss Liu Zheng will surely have great fortune in the future!!!

"A-choo! Who is scolding me?" Chu Liuzheng sniffed, rubbed his wrists which were red and swollen from the hemp rope, and kicked the cut hemp rope into the corner.

I still feel a little dizzy, probably the aftereffect of the drug.

Putting the hairpin back into his sleeve, Chu Liuzheng groped his way to the door and reached out to open it.

Can't pull.

Sure enough, it was locked from the outside.

She sighed and looked around the room in the moonlight coming in through the window.

There are spider webs everywhere on the old cabinets and benches. If you wipe them with your hand, the dust on the table will rise again.

There are many places like this in the palace. After all, there are so many buildings and palaces, and naturally no one will take the trouble to clean the uninhabited rooms.

It is impossible to tell which palace or hall this is just by looking at the furnishings in the house.

"anyone there?"

"Is there anyone outside? I'm a maid serving the emperor. Help me!"

"Someone come! Help!"

"It's gone!!"

“Earthquake!!”

"help!!!"

Chu Liuzheng grabbed the door and shouted a few times at the top of his voice, but apart from the whistling sound of wind coming in through the torn door paper above, he didn't get any response at all. Instead, his empty stomach growled, reminding his owner that he had missed dinner.

【It’s better to save some energy. 】

Chu Liuzheng sat cross-legged on the ground, trying to sort out her situation. The eunuch named Xiao Yuanzi knocked her unconscious and brought her to this abandoned palace, where he tied her to a pillar.

She had no injuries or pain on her body, and the hairpin in her sleeve was still there. It was obvious that Xiao Yuanzi had not done anything to her except tying her up.

But did Xiao Yuanzi go to so much trouble just to tie her up here and let her eat dust?
There must be a bump on your head!
Her stomach growled again, and Chu Liuzheng wondered, could it be that little Yuanzi wanted her to starve to death here with no response from heaven or earth?

How could he be so vicious when we have no grudge against each other?

【We can’t just sit there and wait for death! 】

Chu Liuzheng stood up and stretched his arms and legs, then bent down, picked up a wooden chair, and slammed it hard against the closed window at sprint speed!

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

In the silence of the night, the loud sound of smashing windows could be heard from far away.

Xiao Shiyi's ears twitched and he jumped towards the direction where the sound came from.

Also hearing the noise was Wang Cairen, who got up in the middle of the night to secretly eat stinky tofu and ran outside Yinyuexuan to get rid of the smell.

"What's that sound?" Concubine Wang pricked up her ears and listened carefully, then asked Chun Xing, the senior palace maid who accompanied her, "Did you hear it?"

"It sounds like something is being smashed." Chun Xing looked around fearfully and whispered, "Cairen, let's go back. I heard that the harem is filled with yin energy and is often haunted in the middle of the night."

Hearing this, Lady Wang shuddered, but she forced herself to scold him with a stern face: "Where in the world are ghosts? Don't talk nonsense. If others hear it, even I will be implicated by you."

Chun Xing nodded in response.

Wang Cairen tilted her head and listened carefully again, but found that the strange sound was gone.

"Cairen, let's go back." Chun Xing continued to persuade, looking around, afraid that a female ghost with disheveled hair and red clothes would suddenly jump out from somewhere.

"If you want to go back, go back. I'll go take a look." Wang Cairen couldn't resist her curiosity and walked towards the direction where the voice came from, lifting her skirt.

Chun Xing didn't dare let her go alone, so she gritted her teeth and followed her no matter how scared she was.

*
"I'm exhausted!"

Chu Liuzheng leaned against a wooden chair, panting heavily, beads of sweat running down his forehead. He looked at the window that was not damaged at all and muttered, "Who made such a strong window? When we get out, I will give you a banner!"

Xiao Shiyi, who had just arrived, felt relieved when he heard the powerful curse.

It’s good. The person is still alive and well and can do the job.

He leaped up and broke into the room through the window.

Chu Liuzheng, who was hit on the head and face by flying debris, said: "..."

【Thank you to your whole family! 】

"Who are you?" Chu Liuzheng brushed off the wood chips on his body and stared warily at the man in front of him who was dressed in black and wearing a black dragon mask, with only a pair of eyes exposed. He couldn't help but step back.

Doesn’t this guy look a lot like the legendary killer?

Xiao Shiyi: "My Lord... His Majesty knows that you are missing and ordered me to find you."

"Are you kidding me?" Chu Liuzheng continued to step back, quietly tightening the hairpin in his sleeve.

The tyrant is going to fight the delicate and weak Chun Zhaoyi for three hundred rounds tonight. How could he know that she has been abducted?
Besides, even if he knew, would the tyrant send someone to find her on purpose?
But forget it, changing a palace maid to serve tea would only be a matter of a few words.

Chu Liuzheng has always known her position clearly. At most, she is just a familiar figure to the tyrant. Her importance is about the same as that of an ant and is not worth the tyrant's attention at all.

Xiao Shiyi was too lazy to waste time talking. Anyway, the order he received was to bring the palace maid back to the Yangxin Palace safely. As for the palace maid's wishes, that was not important at all.

"What are you doing? Put me down!" Chu Liuzheng, who was being carried on his shoulders after his acupuncture points were pressed, shouted at the top of his voice, "Help! Someone is killing me!"

"Stop!" A figure in a yellow palace dress suddenly stopped and pointed at Xiao Shiyi, saying fiercely, "You bold lunatic, let this maid go!"

At the same time, a sharp voice sounded not far away: "Empress Rong is here!"
