I became the tyrant's only belief.

Chapter 2 Nine Clans Elimination Game

Chu Liuzheng felt a chill on the back of his neck.

[Damn it! It's not a real man to vent your anger on others! ]

She took a deep breath, turned around and bowed: "Your Majesty, please give your orders."

The posture was so standard that even the strictest maid in the palace could not find anything wrong with it.

Xiao Jingfan squinted at the fake smile on her face and wanted to slash her with a sword.

But when he thought of the list he had just heard, the murderous intent that had just emerged in his mind disappeared without a trace.

It's more useful to keep this woman than to kill her.

"Come and grind the ink."

Chu Liuzheng really wanted to say that her duty was to serve tea, and it was Zhou Yuande's job to serve writing and writing, and she would be paid more for doing more work.

But, she is timid.

She also hoped to live safely in the palace until she was twenty-five years old, save more money for her retirement, and leave the palace to reunite with her family in this world.

It's not worth it to lose your life for such a trivial matter as grinding ink.

Chu Liuzheng walked to the desk politely, rolled up the sleeves of his palace dress, revealing his snow-white wrists, and pinched the ink stick with his slender fingers, pouring water to grind the ink.

She lowered her head, not daring to look to the side, she was so focused.

Seeing that she at least did not criticize the tyrant in her heart, Xiao Jingfan calmed down a little and asked the three ministers who were still kneeling to stand up.

All three of them are old. The two ministers are fine, but Academician Zhang is already fifty-four years old. It is easy for him to kneel down, but not so easy to stand up.

Out of collegiality, the two ministers extended their hands to support him.

The three of them knew that the new emperor's anger would not be easily extinguished. They looked at each other, thinking about who to find a scapegoat to take the blame.

Xiao Jingfan didn't care what the three people were thinking. He picked up the pen, dipped it in ink, and wrote out a list in a flash.

They were exactly the first ten of the fourteen people that Chu Liuzheng had just mentioned in his mind.

After reading the list in their hands, the three ministers were shocked and their faces changed secretly.

Even they only know a few of them, how could Your Majesty know it so clearly?
Could it be that the Jinyiwei have infiltrated them?
Thinking of this, the three of them broke out in cold sweats in that late autumn day.

The methods of their new emperor are truly unpredictable!

Zhang Yu, the Grand Secretary, pretended to be confused and asked, "Your Majesty, who are these people?"

"A person who is in cahoots with Liu Gang." Xiao Jingfan glanced at him with a half-smile, which made Zhang Yu's heart beat faster.

It was not because the new emperor looked evil and had a shocking appearance, but because he was scared.

The old man can’t stand being so scared!

Xiao Jingfan's expression eased slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "I will entrust this matter to the three of you, my dear ministers, to investigate. I believe that the three of you will give me a satisfactory explanation."

[Tsk tsk, the tyrant changes his attitude faster than turning the pages of a book. ]

The smile on the corners of his lips froze, and Xiao Jingfan returned to his expressionless look.

He swore that when this woman was no longer useful, he would make this woman who had cursed him countless times in her heart as a tyrant pay! !

Seeing that the new emperor's expression, which had just relaxed, became solemn again, the three ministers thought that they were too slow in answering and had upset the emperor again.

Even the list of names could be produced. They believed that the new emperor must have the key evidence in his hands and was just waiting to make an example of him. Continuing to make excuses would only bring trouble upon himself.

Among these three people who have been able to hold their current official positions, which one of them is not a shrewd person?
In order to protect themselves, they dared not be vague any longer and said in unison: "Your Majesty, I will investigate this matter as soon as possible and live up to your trust."

Xiao Jingfan nodded with satisfaction.

Although he is a veteran, he is still confident in his ability to get things done.

He waved his hand and offered her a seat.

Seeing Chu Liuzheng busy grinding ink, Zhou Yuande ran to the tea room and personally made a cup of tea and placed it next to Xiao Jingfan. Emperor Shunguang began to discuss other government affairs with his trusted ministers.

But Chu Liuzheng, who was grinding ink, was in a miserable situation.

She couldn't stop unless Xiao Jingfan called out for her to stop.

Grinding ink is a technical job. Her wrists were sore from grinding. Wanting to divert her attention, she quietly opened the system and continued reading the gossip that she had not finished reading just now.

【Where did you see just now? 】

The familiar voice in his heart sounded again. Xiao Jingfan paused and glanced at Chu Liuzheng who seemed to be grinding ink seriously.

You dared to desert in front of him, great! !
He was about to punish someone when he suddenly heard a new voice.

【ah! found it! 】

[The eldest princess's husband replaced the eldest princess's own son with the son of a concubine, and sent the eldest princess's own son to a farm 20 miles away from the north city. The wet nurse took the concubine's money and abused the child. The child has a high fever and is afraid that his life will not be saved! ]

[Oh my goodness, replacing the eldest princess's biological son with a concubine's son, the prince consort is really bold. Is this also considered confusing the royal bloodline? Is the prince consort tired of living and wants to play the Nine Clans Candy Crush? ]

Xiao Jingfan: “!”

His hand shook and the scalding hot tea spilled onto his legs, scalding him and making him shiver.

"Your Majesty!" Zhou Yuande exclaimed and hurried forward to check.

Chu Liuzheng also stopped reading the gossip and looked over with pretending to be concerned.

The three ministers also hurried forward.

Fortunately, the clothes were thick in late autumn, so Xiao Jingfan's leg was not seriously injured.

If you change into a thin summer shirt, the scalding hot tea will definitely cause several big bubbles.

"Get out of here, I'm fine!" Xiao Jingfan kicked Zhou Yuande, who was holding his legs, away, without even bothering to change his clothes, and ordered, "Prepare the horses, I want to leave the palace!"

He only has one sister, the eldest princess, how dare he be the prince consort! !

Xiao Jingfan was so angry that he wanted to kill someone!
He walked out without paying attention to everyone trying to stop him. When he reached the palace gate, he suddenly turned around and his eyes fell on Chu Liuzheng like a needle: "Follow me out of the palace."

If anything unexpected happens on the way, he will be able to find out in time with this woman around.

Chu Liuzheng: “…”

What does it have to do with her?
Everyone looked at her, especially the three ministers, with meaningful looks in their eyes.

No wonder His Majesty wanted to keep someone to serve him with his writings and calligraphy. It turns out that he had taken a liking to this palace maid.

He even brought it with him when he left the palace, which shows how much he liked it.

This palace maid has a decent temperament. Her appearance is not particularly stunning, but her complexion is like jade, she has an oval face, two crescent-shaped eyebrows, bright almond eyes, red lips and white teeth. She can be described as graceful and dignified.

Your Majesty actually likes this. No wonder the beauties sent to the palace before failed to win your Majesty's favor.

It is not easy to find women who are charming and stunningly beautiful, but some of them can be found.

His Majesty has only one princess now. If the one they send to the palace can conceive a heir, then in the future...

The three adults immediately made up their minds to go back and look for a suitable woman among the clan, and find an excuse to send her to the palace to serve His Majesty.

Chu Liuzheng had no idea that the three adults had gone too far and that soon the tyrant would receive a group of beauties who were just like her.

She followed the tyrant to the Princess's Mansion.

The new emperor ascended the throne with thundering means and killed many relatives who opposed him, including several princes, which gave him a reputation as a tyrant.

Rumor has it that the eldest princess once advised Emperor Shunguang not to be too violent, which displeased the emperor, so he married her off and had little contact with her afterwards.

Everyone thought that the relationship between Emperor Shunguang and the eldest princess was cold, and some even said that Emperor Shunguang had long been disgusted with the eldest princess.

No one expected that Emperor Shunguang would suddenly bring his men to the Princess's Mansion, and kick the Prince Consort who came to greet him in the heart, causing him to spit blood.
