I became the tyrant's only belief.

Chapter 256: Laid-off
Xiao Jingfan closed his eyes again, feeling the moderate force on his forehead, and thought it would be a good idea to transfer Chu Liuzheng to serve him closely.

Chu Liuzheng suddenly felt a chill on his back, and he inadvertently increased the strength of his hands.

She immediately looked at the emperor cautiously, and was relieved to find that the emperor just frowned but did not open his eyes.

She pressed and sighed.

[My previous thoughts may be wrong. The tyrant does not stay in the harem because of poor sleep. It has nothing to do with psychological trauma. He is a light sleeper. He may wake up when the person next to him turns over. He can't sleep at all. ]

She glanced down at the emperor who seemed to have fallen asleep again, and she was so envious.

She also wanted to sleep while getting a massage.

[Speaking of which, I have to find a way to tell the tyrant about the Fifth Prince's wife's conspiracy. I don't want to hatch seven or eight more worms in my body, and I don't want to work with a Gu person. It's too disgusting.]

Chu Liuzheng thought seriously.

[Hmm... What kind of nonsense should I make up that would be more believable? ]

Xiao Jingfan pretending to be asleep: "..."

This audacious woman is not afraid of deceiving the emperor at all.

[Or I should provide information to the secret guards or the royal guards. It would be too scary to confront the tyrant directly. I feel like I could shorten my life by ten years just by being glared at.]

Xiao Jingfan pretending to be asleep: "..."

Just talk nonsense.

[I can't use the secret guards' method of passing messages, but I can submit anonymous articles to the Royal Guards. Just as a thank you to Mr. Xie for helping me before.]

[Well... I have to get a list of the people involved in the Fifth Prince's Consort Plan, so that the Imperial Guard can arrest them. Also...]

Chu Liuzheng muttered to himself, thinking about everything he could do.

As for whether the Jinyiwei would believe it and report it to the emperor, as long as Lord Xie is sane, he would report such a big thing to the emperor even if it is false.

Xiao Jingfan originally wanted to get up and do something after listening to it.

There is still half of the memorial to be read. The Gao family's affairs need to be investigated as soon as possible. The secret guards need to lead the Jinyiwei away to cooperate with this woman. The secret guard camp needs to be ordered to make an antidote for the poisonous insects. And...

But listening to the mumbling in his ears and feeling the gentle massage on his forehead and temples, his mind gradually became dull and he fell into a deep sleep amid the scent of jasmine.

Snowflakes fell lightly, and before one knew it, the sky had grown dark.

"His Majesty."

A soft call came from his ear, Xiao Jingfan's eyelids trembled for a moment, then he opened his eyes and saw the familiar fat face next to him.

Seems to have gained weight again.

"How long have I slept?" He sat up, and the blanket covering him fell to the ground. Because he had just woken up, his voice was a little hoarse.

Zhou Yuande smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you slept for two hours."

so long!
Xiao Jingfan frowned immediately: "Why didn't you wake me up earlier?"

"Your Majesty, calm down." Zhou Yuande quickly knelt down to apologize, "You only slept for more than an hour last night, and you had a headache this morning, but you refused to call the imperial physician to see you. I saw that you rarely slept so deeply, so I didn't wake you up."

After he mentioned this, Xiao Jingfan found that his head did not hurt after waking up.

He glanced at Zhou Yuande and said, "Get up."

Zhou Yuande got up and asked, "The imperial kitchen has prepared dinner. Your Majesty, do you want to eat now?"

Xiao Jingfan nodded, and suddenly a faint scent of jasmine came across his nose. He turned around and saw an opened box of perfume on the table. The jasmine scent came from there.

He reached out and picked up the box.

Zhou Yuande glanced at the box and said with a smile, "This was specially left by Miss Liu Zheng. She said that smelling the scent before going to bed will help you sleep more deeply and won't wake up easily."

He felt that this made sense. After all, it was rare to see His Majesty sleeping so soundly.

"Where is she?" Xiao Jingfan closed the ointment box and placed it on the table.

Zhou Yuande said, "Your Majesty, Miss Liu Zheng does not need to be on duty tonight. She should be in Yiran Garden now." Xiao Jingfan recalled his thoughts before he fell asleep and ordered, "Call her over."

"A-choo!" Chu Liuzheng, who was having dinner with Yuzhui and Chenxing in Yiran Garden, suddenly turned around and sneezed.

She raised her hand to rub her itchy nose and listened to Yuzhui say, "I heard that Nongyun Garden is about to be completed. When we move back there, we won't have such good food."

The voice sounded quite reluctant.

Chen Xing smiled and picked up a piece of scrambled eggs with black fungus for her with chopsticks, "Then eat more now, sister."

"Moving back has its advantages," Chu Liuzheng said. "Nongyun Garden is right behind Wenhua Palace, so it's convenient for us to do our work. Now living in Yiran Garden requires us to walk half the distance, and we have to tell Eunuch Zhou when we come back to get things. How can it be cheaper than living in Nongyun Garden?"

"That's true." Yu Zhui nodded, "If I move back to Nong Yun Yuan, I can sleep an extra quarter of an hour in the morning."

[It turns out that workers don’t want to get up early. 】

Chu Liuzheng felt the same way.

While eating, there was a knock on the closed door, and Chen Xing asked loudly, "Who is it?"

"Is Miss Liu Zheng here?" came the voice of a young eunuch.

Chen Xing wanted to open the door, but Chu Liuzheng had already recognized who it was, so he asked her to sit down and eat while she went to open the door.

"Hello, young lady." The young eunuch smiled and handed the box forward. "The prince sent me to bring it to you, young lady. Please accept it."

Chu Liuzheng didn't extend his hand, but raised a polite fake smile at the corner of his lips: "I appreciate your kindness, but I won't accept the reward without merit. Please take it back, eunuch."

The young eunuch didn't expect Chu Liuzheng to refuse. Didn't he accept all the things that were sent to him before?
Chu Liuzheng bowed to him and said, "Goodbye, eunuch. I won't see you off."

Before, the counterfeit would personally deliver the things to her, put them down and leave, not giving her any chance to refuse.

The young eunuch in front of her didn't seem to have learned the rogue ways of the fake one, so she naturally couldn't accept him...

Before Chu Liuzheng could finish his thought, he saw the young eunuch who looked very honest in front of him put the box on the ground and turned around and ran away.

Chu Liuzheng almost became the object of onlookers after chasing for only a few steps, so he had to give up.

[Forget it, forget it. I've already collected so many. This one doesn't matter. I can just return it with the other ones.]

She entered the room carrying the box. Yuzhui was winking at Chenxing. When he saw her come in, he immediately sat up straight, looking around, with the word "guilty" written all over his face.

Chu Liuzheng: “…”

[Okay, gossiping about me again. ]

She placed the box she was holding on top of the pile of boxes and covered them with a cloth.

Yuzhu looked at her: "Why don't you open it and take a look? Aren't you curious about what's inside?"

Chu Liuzheng was not curious at all. She had to return it anyway. If it contained gold, silver, jewelry or something, she would be heartbroken.

She was about to sit back and eat, but Xiao Anzi came running over and said, "Miss, please come with me. His Majesty is calling you urgently."

【Can't you wait until I finish my meal? 】

Chu Liuzheng was tired, but the emperor had summoned him urgently and he could not delay, so he quickly rinsed his mouth with tea and left with Xiao Anzi.

"Does Eunuch An know what this is about?"

Xiao Anzi shook his head. He really knew nothing at all.

Chu Liuzheng sighed in his heart and rushed with him to the side hall of Wenhua Palace, where the emperor was having dinner.

Chu Liuzheng originally thought she had to wait at the door, but Xiao Anzi led her directly in.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be well and safe."

"Get up." Xiao Jingfan put down his chopsticks and looked at Chu Liuzheng, "From today on, you don't have to work in the tea room."

Chu Liuzheng:!

[Fuck! I was laid off just like that?!]
