I became the tyrant's only belief.

Chapter 25 Will You Die If You Say a Few More Words?
Since he was not allowed to go up to the fifth floor, Chu Liuzheng just quickly toured the fourth floor.

She just looked at the layout and casually flipped through a few books on the bookshelf, and two hours had passed.

Thinking about the task the tyrant had given her, even if she already knew the answer, she still had to pretend to be searching for it.

Chu Liuzheng picked out some books and wooden slips related to overseas experiences, piled them all on the huge desk on the second floor, and began to search through them carefully.

I was taking notes while flipping through the pages, trying to perform the whole act.

Two hours later, when it was dark outside and Zhou Yuande came to pick her up, she retrieved the three pieces of gossip from the system and quickly wrote them down.

Although there is no specific location, at least there is a direction and roughly how to sail after leaving Shengguo, so we can get the job done.

In order to show that it was copied from a book, Chu Liuzheng polished it with his limited knowledge of classical Chinese and added some sentences that had no practical meaning but could enhance the quality.

Looking at the three pieces of paper in his hand, Xiao Jingfan's eyes twitched.

The handwriting is okay, but the content... is bullshit!
[Why is the tyrant silent? Could it be that the tyrant has figured out the sentences I added? ]

Xiao Jingfan: "..."

Emperor Shunguang used his clever brain to delete and subtract from the paper and restored the original text.

Seeing the tyrant staring at the paper with a stern face, Chu Liuzheng couldn't help but feel his heart beating wildly and his palms sweating.

[Please! ! Buddha, Guanyin, and the Jade Emperor bless me! I am willing to be a vegetarian tomorrow. Please don’t ask me which book I found this from! ]

"Where are these three sacred objects..."

[Ah, I asked, I asked, I asked!!]

Chu Liuzheng clenched his fists nervously and made up lies in his mind quickly.

"You found it. Who do you think is best for me to send out to sea to search for the divine object?"

Chu Liuzheng, who was halfway through making up a lie, said: "Ah?"

[Isn't it true that the harem cannot interfere in government affairs? 】

[Asking a little palace maid serving tea and water about such important national affairs, is the tyrant right? 】

[However, the most suitable candidate for going to sea is of course Zheng He. Zheng He is a strict selector, and the quality is guaranteed. But Shengguo does not have Zheng He, but there seems to be someone with a similar experience. I remember seeing it not long ago. Where is it? ]

Chu Liuzheng searched quickly in the system.

[It's not this one, nor is it this one. Hmm, this one is not right either... Ah! I found it! ]

[Fan Hong, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites, was a native of Fuzhou. He not only participated in suppressing the rebellion in the south and the pirates, but also had first-class diplomatic skills and rich experience. When he was a child, he went to sea with his grandfather's merchant ship and could speak three foreign languages. He was simply the perfect choice to go to sea.]

Xiao Jingfan's eyes moved. Fan Hong?
[The clerks in the Ministry of Rites are pretty good, they all speak more than one foreign language. Unfortunately, they don’t seem to be in good health. If they go out to sea, they might die if they get sick from the climate.]

[You will definitely encounter pirates when you go out to sea. It is best to choose someone who has the military strength to protect himself, and then have experience in going out to sea. Then choose a general who can fight and lead the troops for protection. As for the ship going out to sea, you need to...]

[Wait, such a big thing as who to choose to go and who not to choose is not something I can decide as a little palace maid, why would I care about it? ]

Chu Liuzheng quickly pulled back her scattered thoughts, thinking that the tyrant was still waiting for her answer, so she bowed and said:

"In reply to your Majesty, I only know a few words and my knowledge is shallow. It is just a coincidence that I was able to find the locations of the three sacred objects in the book. I do not know the affairs of the court. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Xiao Jingfan, who was halfway through copying homework: "..."

Will this woman die if she says a few more words?

Glancing at Chu Liuzheng's extremely standard salute posture, he felt inexplicably upset and waved his hand at her: "Forget it, go do your own thing."

"That servant's brother..."

Xiao Jingfan said: "Chu Shangming is acquitted and released. Shiwu will handle it." As soon as he finished speaking, a black shadow swooped out from the open window like a kite.

[Wow! The mysterious secret guard! ]

Chu Liuzheng withdrew his gaze and walked out of the hall briskly.

"Zhou Yuande!"

Without bothering to talk to Chu Liuzheng, Zhou Yuande quickly entered the hall upon hearing the voice and bowed, saying, "Your servant is here."

"The Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Fan Hong, is here to see you."

Zhou Yuande glanced at the sky outside the window in surprise. It was already night, and Lord Fan must have gone to bed already.

Xiao Jingfan said, "I, the emperor, am working overtime, so why are you, a subject, sleeping? Get up and discuss matters!"
Lord Fan received a summons in the middle of the night and crawled out of his warm bed. He sniffed the snot blown by the cold wind and entered the palace to receive the order.

On the other side, they had reached the gate of Nong Yunyuan. Chu Liuzheng suddenly remembered that it was his turn to be on duty today, so he turned around and hurried to the tea room.

It was already dark, Caiyue was already waiting in the tea room, standing by the table serving tea.

Moxiang and another palace maid serving tea, Yuzhu, were not there.

Hearing the noise, Caiyue turned around and saw that it was Chu Liuzheng. She quickly put down the teapot and came over, smiling and saying, "I didn't wait for you at Nongyun Garden. I saw that it was getting late, so I came here first."

"I'm late. Did Sister Moxiang tell you anything?"

Caiyue said: "Sister Moxiang only asked me to watch the water on the stove, and didn't give any other instructions."

Chu Liuzheng nodded, checked the tea leaves she had just divided out, and found that the amount of each portion was just right.

He is indeed a very clever person.

Caiyue was a little nervous. "Since my sister is not here, I will practice with the tea in the jar that we drink ourselves and put it back later. Please don't blame me, sister."

"Studying hard and practicing diligently are good things, and you've done a good job." Chu Liuzheng was not stingy with his praise. Others would be happy to hear it, and he himself would also feel good about it.

After receiving the compliment, Caiyue smiled even more and even blushed a little, seeming a little excited.

"Cuckoo~"

Chu Liuzheng's stomach growled at an inopportune moment, and she then remembered that she had not yet eaten, as she was busy stalling time in the library.

I didn’t feel nervous just now, but now I feel hungry.

"Sister, I have some red..." Caiyue took out the brown sugar cake that she had prepared as a midnight snack. Before she could finish her sentence, she saw Xiao Anzi carrying a plate of snowflake cakes and walking into the tea room with a smile on her face.

He placed the snowflake cake on the table and said to Chu Liuzheng, "Miss, you have been busy all day and haven't had your meal yet. It just so happens that the imperial kitchen has presented you with a plate of snowflake cake. Master asked me to bring it to you. The night is still long, so don't starve yourself."

"Thank you for taking the trip. Please thank your master for me." Chu Liuzheng forced a smile and took two pieces of snowflake crisps and put them in Xiao Anzi's hand.

"I'd like to take advantage of you, too." Xiao Anzi happily accepted it and chatted a few more words before leaving.

Caiyue silently put her brown sugar cake back.

They have the snow-flake cakes presented to them by the imperial kitchen, which are many times better than her brown sugar cakes. There is no need for her to offer such courtesy.

"Here, let's eat together." Chu Liuzheng pushed the porcelain plate towards Caiyue. "Eunuch Zhou, please appreciate our efforts in serving His Majesty. Let's try the snowflake crisps made by the chef in the imperial kitchen."

"Thank you sister."

Caiyue pursed her lips and reached out to take a piece of snowflake crisp. She took a bite and put it in her mouth, but she couldn't tell what it tasted like.
