I became the tyrant's only belief.

Chapter 23: Building an Awesome Master
Chu Liuzheng began to feel suspicious.

Her family members understood that it was not easy for her to live in the palace and were worried that she would get into trouble. As long as she didn't send any letters home, her family wouldn't send any letters to her.

Her letter home hasn’t been delivered this month, how come her reply arrived first?
Could something have happened at home?
Thinking of this, she didn't bother to say much to the eunuch who delivered the letter. She gave him two cents of silver to treat him to tea, then hurried back to Nong Yun Garden with the letter in her pocket.

She is on night duty today and does not have to go to Wenhua Hall to be on duty during the day.

Chu Liuzheng pushed open the door and found Caiyun was not there. Then she remembered that Caiyun told her yesterday that she was going to talk to the sisters in the palace today and would be back late.

It's better if people are not here.

After closing the doors and windows, Chu Liuzheng sat down at the table, took out the letter, unfolded it, and read it line by line.

When he read halfway, his face turned pale and his hands were shaking so much that he could hardly hold the letter.

She stared at the two lines in shock.

Wasn't my eldest brother studying at Shanghong Academy? How did he get involved with the remnants of the Fifth Prince and be arrested by the Embroidered Uniform Guards and thrown into the Imperial Prison?

Is the Imperial Prison a place for people to stay? !

She hadn't seen any news from home for just a few days, how could such a sudden change happen?

Chu Liuzheng hurriedly opened the system to search, and when he scanned the latest gossip, he couldn't help but pause, "Huh?"

【The Jinyiwei found out that Qu Tao, a deputy minister of the Ministry of War, had embezzled grain. Commander Xie Hui personally led a team to search Qu's house and found nearly 200,000 taels of silver and gold bars in the secret room. The entire Qu family was executed, and the three clans were implicated. His accomplices Cao Jian, Yu Huaichuan, Wang Yu, Guo Ming, and Fang Shiju were convicted of the same crime.】

[Fuck! As expected of the Jinyiwei that all officials are afraid of, they are not freeloaders. They found out before I even made an anonymous report! ]

[No, no, this is not the point! Big brother, big brother, Chu Shangming...]

[Got it! Shanghong Academy student Chai Zhicheng is the spy planted in Beijing by the remnants of the Fifth Prince. Student Chu Shangming has too close a relationship with him. The Imperial Guard suspects that he is also a remnant of the Fifth Prince and arrests him and puts him in the Imperial Prison for trial.]

[Damn it! My dear brother, you are still so bad at making friends! Can you make a friend who is a little more reliable? ! ]

Chu Liuzheng pounded the table in annoyance.

[You are actually related to the remnants of the Fifth Prince. Big Brother, how can I save you? ! ! ]

Of course she knew that her eldest brother was not a remnant of the fifth prince. With his emotional intelligence, he would be exposed in a minute whether he was an informant or a spy. Who would be so stupid as to recruit him? Did he think he was not dying fast enough?
But she has no evidence.

[Evidence... Evidence... Damn! Chai Zhicheng has been lurking in the academy for three years. As soon as my brother entered the academy, he and I became good friends. We went in and out together every day, and we went to several remnant strongholds together. How can we deny our relationship? ]

Chu Liu Zheng Ma Claw.

The tyrant's attitude towards the remnants of the fifth prince has always been to kill the wrong ones rather than let them go. Big brother is finished!

Chu Liuzheng quickly read the rest of the letter.

"Sister, my father went to Hejian Prefecture with Uncle Liu to deliver goods three days ago, and only my mother and I were at home. When my mother found out that my eldest brother was captured by the Royal Guards, she was so scared that she almost fainted. We took money to make arrangements, but the Royal Guards refused to accept it and would not let us see my eldest brother."

"Sister, my mother and I have no other options. My mother cried secretly and didn't let me write to you because she was afraid you would worry. But the Royal Guards are so fierce, my brother will die. I want to save him, so I wrote to you secretly without telling my mother. Don't tell my mother, she will punish me if she finds out."

"Sister, you are the smartest and most resourceful one, can you think of a way to save my brother?"

"My little sister Yuxin, I pray for your well-being and safety. I will give you this seal."

Staring at the awkward handwriting on the letter paper, Chu Liuzheng sighed.

Sister, you really think highly of your sister. Is it so easy to get someone out of the imperial prison after being arrested by the Imperial Guards?
But, that was her real brother. It was her real brother who, in order to save money to buy her a flowery hairband, she would not envy other little girls for having flowery hairbands, so that she would not be jealous of them.

Although it was indeed a bit stupid, she actually wanted to eat meat buns more, but she was determined to save this stupid brother at all costs!
If he delays any longer, his brother will suffer more. She will go find the tyrant now! !

At most, he could make up a story that she was the disciple of some hermit master, who could tell the truth about everything in the world. No emperor could resist such temptation.

As for whether the tyrant would be afraid of me and I would be killed without an intact body, I can’t care about that now, I’ll just have to fight!
Afraid that he would back down if he waited another second, Chu Liuzheng locked the letter in the cabinet and walked towards the Wenhua Hall in a menacing manner.

She, Chu Liuzheng, is a charlatan from today on!

*
"Young lady, please wait." At the entrance of Wenhua Palace, Xiao Anzi stepped forward and stopped Chu Liuzheng who was about to rush in, and whispered, "His Majesty is angry. If it is not urgent, you'd better not go in now."

[No way, the tyrant is not a volcano, why does he spew fire every day? 】

[Oh, yes, yes, the Imperial Guards found out that Qu Tao and others embezzled grain, and they embezzled so much. The tyrant should be angry.]

[But my eldest brother’s matter is also urgent! ]

Chu Liuzheng barely suppressed his anxiety and bowed to Xiao Anzi: "I have an urgent matter to report to His Majesty. Please pass it on, Eunuch An."

"Girl, get up quickly." Xiao Anzi quickly helped the girl up and kindly advised, "Girl, listen to my advice. No matter what the emergency is, come back later."

[I don’t want to be reckless! But my elder brother has been arrested by the Jinyiwei and is in prison. He is about to die. I can’t wait! ]

"I appreciate your kindness, sir." Chu Liuzheng stuffed a purse into his hand. "I really have something important to do. Please go in and report it now. No matter what, I will definitely remember your kindness."

How could Xiao Anzi dare to take Chu Liuzheng's purse? If his master found out, he would definitely punish him.

He pushed Chu Liuzheng's purse back and said, "Girl, take it quickly. What's the point of being affectionate? I'll pass the message on for you."

Chu Liuzheng was delighted, "Thank you, eunuch."

Xiao Anzi turned around and walked inside. Before he stepped over the threshold, Zhou Yuande quickly came out of the hall.

"Miss Liu Zheng, His Majesty summons you to come in."

Chu Liuzheng was stunned.

[How did the tyrant know I was coming? Is it the hearing aid or the eyesight aid? ]

[Oh, I almost forgot, there are secret guards around the tyrant. It must be the secret guards who told the tyrant.]

Xiao Jingfan, who knew it through his heart: "..."

Why don’t you try cursing the tyrant less in your heart?
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be well and safe."

Xiao Jingfan put down his brush and winked at Zhou Yuande, who immediately led all the palace servants out of the hall.

Moxiang turned around and glanced at the kneeling Chu Liuzheng with concern.

——Liu Zheng has always been steady, why would he come to Wenhua Hall at this time?
Chu Liuzheng had no intention of paying attention to other people. She was frantically thinking out a plan in her mind, trying to establish herself as a disciple of the hermit master.

[I have to create a great sect for myself first. It has to sound like a fairy-like sect that can make one ascend to immortality in a second. Let’s say… let’s say… um… what mountain or sect do those immortals in the fairy-tale novels belong to? Kunwu? Taixu? Or Kunlun? ]
