I became the tyrant's only belief.

Chapter 30 Ogle

Xiao Jingfan stood up and walked out. The moment he turned his back, Chu Liuzheng immediately put down the ink stick, rubbed his wrist, and followed him.

Zhou Yuande stared at the palace door with his eyes wide open, expecting to see his Majesty coming out holding the beauty, but instead he saw two people coming out, one in front and one behind, with room for two more in between.

Zhou Yuande: “…”

He gave Chu Liuzheng a look of disappointment.

He clearly saw that His Majesty was interested, but he didn't know how to cherish such a good opportunity!

Chu Liuzheng: “!!!”

[Oh my god! Was Eunuch Zhou flirting with me just now?]

Xiao Jingfan slipped and almost tripped over the threshold.

"Your Majesty!" Zhou Yuande rushed over to help.

Looking at the fat face in front of him, Xiao Jingfan really couldn't connect it with the word "flirting".

"Pass on the Imperial Physician!"

“No need.” Xiao Jingfan waved his hand, his cold eyes fixed on Zhou Yuande, with murderous intent flowing in his eyes.

——Okay, you’ve become so bold that you even dare to snatch people from me!
Zhou Yuande felt a chill in his heart when he was looked at. Why did he feel that his Majesty wanted to kill him?

He, he, he, what did he do?
“Your Majesty, where did you bump into me just now?” Zhou Yuande’s voice trembled, and his tone was full of concern. “I am useless. If you are not satisfied, I will punish you as you please. Please don’t get angry with yourself. The dragon’s body is the most important!”

The cold expression on Xiao Jingfan's face eased slightly.

Ever since this servant followed him, whenever he got hurt in the slightest, he would look as if he wished he could take his place.

If he really knew about Chu Liuzheng's supernatural powers, the first thing he would do would probably be to report to him immediately.

"I'm fine." Xiao Jingfan placed his hand on Zhou Yuande's outstretched arm and said gently, "Let's go to Yude Hall."

"Yes." Zhou Yuande breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't know the reason, he had passed this hurdle.

Xiao Jingfan thought as he walked, there were many palace maids and eunuchs who were in pairs in the palace, and he turned a blind eye to it as long as nothing happened. Now it seems that it is time to clean up the mess.

A moment later, an oral order was delivered to Changchun Palace.

After the Queen's trusted maid Qiu Sui personally sent away the eunuch who came to deliver the imperial edict, she returned to the warm room.

"Your Majesty, His Majesty has suddenly ordered a thorough investigation into the affair between the palace maids and eunuchs. What is his real intention? His Majesty knew about this matter before, but he turned a blind eye and did not ask about it."

"Whatever your majesty commands, I will do it."

Queen Zhong, who was woken up, had her black hair loose and was leaning lazily on the Hundred Bats Pillow. She tapped the end of her eyebrow with the golden ring on her little finger. She opened her half-closed peach blossom eyes and glanced at Qiu Sui. "You personally supervise this matter. Don't let anyone take advantage of the opportunity."

Qiu Sui bowed and said, "Yes."

The next morning, the purge against palace maids and eunuchs who were in collusion with each other began. Qiu Sui personally led people to conduct a thorough investigation of every palace and hall.

For a time, everyone felt insecure, especially those who had formed an alliance with others, who wished they could break up with them immediately.

Longevity Palace.

Hearing the chaotic noise outside, the Empress Dowager couldn't even play cards anymore and sent people out to see what the noise was all about.

Nanny Zhao went out herself and came back in less than a moment, "Your Majesty, it was Qiu Sui who was beside the Queen, who received the order to thoroughly investigate the affair between the palace maids and eunuchs."

The eldest princess, who had been living in the palace these days, threw a card and asked in confusion, "Why are you suddenly investigating this?"

Madam Zhao replied softly, "Last night, His Majesty sent an oral order to Changchun Palace."

"What the emperor meant." The queen mother's eyes turned slightly, wondering, "Why is he suddenly involved in this matter?"

How would Nanny Zhao know? Guessing the emperor's intentions is a capital crime.

Fortunately, the Queen Mother had no intention of getting to the bottom of the matter.

After a round of cards, the princess, who was worried about her son, stood up to say goodbye. After seeing them off, Nanny Zhao returned and waved her hand to let the maids and eunuchs go out. The queen mother picked up the red dates and longan tea and drank it, glancing at her out of the corner of her eye, "Is there any movement in Wenhua Palace?"

"Nothing can be hidden from the majesty's discerning eyes." Nanny Zhao stepped forward and said softly, "Last night, His Majesty ordered people to throw Caiyue into the Moon Pond, where she soaked for more than an hour."

"Useless thing!" The Queen Mother frowned, "What did she do?"

Madam Zhao glanced at her and said, "It is said that the scent of the perfume on her body is too strong, which made His Majesty unhappy."

Queen Mother: "..."

If I remember correctly, she was the one who gave me the perfume powder specially.

"I remember that the emperor liked that flavor, why didn't he like it suddenly?" The Queen Mother's mouth drooped, a little unhappy, "I specially ordered the Imperial Pharmacy to mix it, and they didn't tell me."

Nanny Zhao thought to herself, didn't you explicitly say that the perfume powder was to be used by His Majesty? You only said it was for the young lady. Wouldn't the pharmacist have misunderstood?

"You are a magnanimous person, don't bother with them."

"I won't bother with them." The Queen Mother leaned back on the square pillow and sighed, "I just want to have more grandchildren, no matter if they are princes or princesses, I like them all. But look at the Emperor, he is diligent in his work, but he doesn't even know how to go to the harem more often.

If you look at the records of the Imperial Household Department, the number of times the emperor went to the harem can be counted on one hand. When will I be able to hold my golden grandson?"

"Your Majesty, isn't there Princess Huirong?" Madam Zhao said with a smile, "Your Majesty Shufei will bring the princess to pay her respects to you in a little while."

Thinking of her lovely granddaughter, the Queen Mother was very happy and ordered, "The princess likes to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake and golden candied dates. Hurry up and ask the kitchen to prepare them."

"I know you love the princess, so I have prepared some snacks."

The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction.

Madam Zhao asked softly, "Madam, is Caiyue still here?"

The Queen Mother thought for a few breaths, "You have spent a lot of effort to train her. Since the prince has not transferred her away from Wenhua Palace, then keep her here for now and see what happens to her."

"only."

*
The fragrance of medicine lingers in Nongyun Garden.

Chu Liuzheng boiled the remaining typhoid medicine, let it warm, and gave it to Caiyue, whose cheeks were flushed with fever.

Caiyue swallowed unconsciously, mumbling continuously.

"mother……"

"I'm not your mother." Chu Liuzheng pulled out his sleeves helplessly, laid the person flat on the bed, and covered him with the quilt.

Caiyue started shouting again: "Dad... I won't go..."

Chu Liuzheng reached out and touched her forehead. It was still burning hot and the temperature had not subsided at all.

Chu Liuzheng wrung out a cold towel and put it on Caiyue's forehead. Looking at the person who was unconscious due to fever, he couldn't help but sigh softly.

Look, this is the end of climbing onto the dragon bed. It’s lucky to be able to keep your life.

By now, the news that Caiyue was punished by the tyrant to soak in the Moon Pool for more than an hour has spread in the palace, and no doctor in the entire Imperial Hospital is willing to come and treat her.

"I have done what I should do. I will wait and see what happens to you."

It's true that Chu Liuzheng sympathizes with Caiyue, but this path was chosen by Caiyue herself, and Chu Liuzheng's sympathy is not so overflowing that he would go against the tyrant for Caiyue.

Feeling a little down, Chu Liuzheng decided to read some gossip to cheer himself up.

[The director of the Ministry of Works stayed overnight at Wanfang Tower and was discovered by his wife. His wife took a mace and broke one of his legs. Wow! The wife is so powerful! Was it the middle leg that was broken? ]

[Tsk, it's just the left leg, I was too gentle.]

[Hahaha, in order to make his dog and his beloved dog finally get married, the director of the Imperial Observatory disguised himself as a blind fortune teller and went to the residence of the Minister of Rites to cheat! ]

[The Left Shaoqing of the Dali Temple actually... WTF! Such a jerk!!]
