I became the tyrant's only belief.

Chapter 24 Three Divine Objects
[I can’t remember, let’s just go with Kunlun. ]

[My master is the head of the Lingyun Sect of Kunlun Immortal Mountain, and I am his 467th generation disciple.]

[Master calculated that corrupt officials were rampant in Sheng State, plundering the people's wealth, causing the people to live in misery. She couldn't bear to see the people suffer, so she sent me, her personal disciple, down the mountain to expose the evil deeds of those corrupt officials and save the people from danger.]

[The tyrant will definitely not believe it easily, but I can throw out some crops like sweet potatoes, corn, potatoes, which are easy to grow, high-yield, and can be used as food to fill hunger, and let the tyrant send people out to sea to find them. I can prove my ability to calculate and let the tyrant see my value.]

[If the tyrant asked me how to get to Kunlun Mountain, I would say that only those who are destined to be there can find it.]

[If the tyrant wants me to take him there personally... well, I will shirk my responsibility by saying that I have to complete my master's mission before I can go back. I will delay it as long as I can, preferably until the tyrant who always stays up late to work overtime dies. Then I will take advantage of the chaos and run away with my whole family! ]

Xiao Jingfan said without missing a word: "..."

This damn woman really doesn't take deceiving the king seriously!

However, how productive are sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes?
It is actually easy to grow and can be used as food to satisfy hunger. If this is true, wouldn’t the people of his Sheng Kingdom have another way to survive?
After finally finishing his mental script and making sure there were no major loopholes, Chu Liuzheng planned to begin his performance.

She encouraged herself in her heart.

[Isn't it just to fool a tyrant who has little knowledge? Come on, Chu Liuzheng, you can do it! Fighting! ]

Xiao Jingfan, who had little experience, said: "..."

"Your Majesty..."

"Recently, the Imperial Guard arrested a group of remnants of the fifth prince. I heard that your brother is among them." Xiao Jingfan really didn't want to pretend to be a fool and cooperate with Chu Liuzheng's performance, so he didn't give her a chance to start her performance.

Chu Liuzheng: “?”

[How did Your Majesty know that I have an older brother, and also know what my older brother's name is? ]

[Did the powerful secret guard tell him again? ]

Xiao Jingfan: Of course it’s because I have already sent people to investigate your ancestors for eighteen generations.

Unfortunately, Chu Liuzheng is the only one in the Chu family who possesses this magical ability of the system.

Xiao Jingfan's question disrupted Chu Liuzheng's overall plan.

[This...Should I continue to deceive the tyrant? ]

Of course not!
Xiao Jingfan coughed and tapped the desk with his fingers. "Since the tea you brewed is still drinkable, I'll give you a chance to defend your brother."

[Defense? The tyrant also thinks that my eldest brother is not a remnant of the fifth prince? ]

Seeing hope, Chu Liuzheng decisively gave up the unreliable method of "fooling the tyrant" and kowtowed to the tyrant first.

"Your Majesty, please allow me to report that before I entered the palace, my family was poor and I usually interacted with poor families with similar circumstances. It was only in the past two years that my family started a small business and our lives gradually improved. My brother also had the opportunity to enter the academy to study.

Before this, my brother definitely didn't know any high-ranking officials, let alone the remnants of the Fifth Prince. I dare to guarantee it with my life, please understand your majesty."

Xiao Jingfan waited for a moment before raising his hand, "Get up and answer."

In fact, Chu Liuzheng didn't need to explain, he also knew that the Chu family had nothing to do with the remnants.

He had already sent secret guards to thoroughly investigate the Chu family. If the Chu family really had any relationship with the remnants of the fifth prince, how could the Chu family live in peace until now?

As for why the Jinyiwei mistakenly arrested Chu Shangming?
That’s because even Jinyiwei commander Xie Hui didn’t know that Chu Liuzheng had the system.

It's not that Xiao Jingfan doesn't trust Xie Hui, but this matter is of great importance. The more people know, the more variables there are. Before he figured out the system on Chu Liuzheng, he would not let anyone know except the secret guards around him.

However, he had not expected that the woman in front of him who cherished her life valued her brother so much that she was even willing to expose her own secrets to fool him, the tyrant whom she had scolded countless times.

Chu Liuzheng stood up as he was told, lowering his head politely, not looking directly at the emperor. Xiao Jingfan propped his head up, looking at her thoughtfully with his narrow eyes.

This woman, like the other women in the harem, has always been good at pretending.

However, there is still a little difference.

This woman is more useful than those in the harem.

After thinking for a while, he said in a cold voice: "I once read a book of miscellaneous talks in the library. It mentioned that there are three magical things overseas, namely sweet potatoes, corn and potatoes. They are very productive and can satisfy people's hunger."

"I allow you to enter the library. If you can find the three sacred objects within one day, I will order Chu Shangming to be released from prison."

Chu Liuzheng was secretly shocked.

[The tyrant actually knew that there were sweet potatoes, corn and potatoes overseas. We really can't underestimate the wisdom of the ancient people. ]

[Although the carriages and horses were slow, they traveled far and wrote down what they saw and thought in books to pass on to future generations.]

[I can now write down the approximate locations of the three sacred objects, but I can’t explain to the Tyrant how I know! Baldhead!!]

[With my brother's small body as a scholar, he would have been in the imperial prison for three times in one day.]

Chu Liuzheng was thinking about how to ask for mercy from the tyrant and ask the Jinyiwei to stop torturing her brother.

Unexpectedly, the tyrant was so considerate and said, "I will order the Jinyiwei not to torture Chu Shangming within one day."

Xiao Jingfan also knew that if you want the horse to run, you have to feed it grass. It was a mistake anyway, and torture was useless.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace." Chu Liuzheng was so happy in her heart. Her elder brother was saved!

Xiao Jingfan raised his voice a little and shouted, "Zhou Yuande!"

Chief Steward Zhou came in and glanced at Chu Liuzheng's happy face. He heard his Majesty order, "Take her to the library."

"only."

*
"Miss, the library is in front." Zhou Yuande's smile was more warm than before. "Did you remember all the precautions I told you just now?"

Chu Liuzheng was in a good mood now because he could rescue his elder brother soon. He didn't mind Zhou Yuande's nagging and promised without hesitation: "Don't worry, Eunuch Zhou. I won't touch anything I shouldn't touch."

"We know that the girl is a person who knows what's going on and knows her limits."

Zhou Yuande said hello to the imperial guards who were guarding the library, and then led Chu Liuzheng to the manager's office to get a waist badge. After watching Chu Liuzheng put it on his waist, he said, "Young lady, please come in. If you need any writing materials, just ask the subordinates to bring them. I will come to pick you up later."

Chu Liuzheng bowed and said, "Thank you, Eunuch Zhou."

Zhou Yuande smiled, turned around and left with his whisk in his hand.

Chu Liuzheng also turned around and entered the library.

As soon as you enter the door, the scent of wood mixed with the fragrance of ink hits you in the face, and what comes into view are rows of neatly arranged yellow pear wood bookshelves.

Chu Liuzheng was not in a hurry to write down the locations of the three crops, but instead browsed around the library.

She probably won't have the chance to come in again, but she'd better open her eyes to the emperor's library.

The library has a total of five floors, each of which is large enough for horses to run on. It contains countless books and many rare picture albums that are not allowed to be read by anyone other than the emperor himself.

There are several palace maids or eunuchs guarding each floor. If you want to find a book, just let them know. You don't have to look for it yourself.
