I became the tyrant's only belief.

Chapter 31 Bah! Scumbag!

At night, when there is no moon in the sky, you can see the stars twinkling.

In Nongyun Garden, Chu Liuzheng reached out and touched Caiyue's forehead and found that the temperature had returned to normal.

She breathed a sigh of relief, the girl finally made it through, it was worth her time feeding her medicine and wiping her body.

After giving Caiyue some water again, Chu Liuzheng got up and went out to the tea room in Wenhua Palace.

Caiyue was sick and didn't have to go on duty, but she had to go anyway.

The door closed with a creaky sound, and the person on the bed slowly opened his eyes with his eyelashes trembling.

A crystal teardrop slid down the corner of her eye and disappeared into her hair.

Chu Liuzheng walked into the tea room. Moxiang and Yuzhu were sitting at the table talking. When they saw her, they stood up and smiled.

Moxiang asked, "How is Caiyue?"

Chu Liuzheng said: "The high fever has subsided, and his life is safe. But soaking in cold water for so long in such a cold weather may have injured his body. He needs to be carefully rested for a while before he can recover."

"I have some tonic medicine here. I'll go see her later." Moxiang sighed, "I hope she can figure it out after this."

Hearing this, Yuzhui beside him couldn't help but blush.

At first, she came here with the intention of currying favor with the rich and powerful, but it was Sister Moxiang who saw through her thoughts and patiently analyzed the pros and cons with her, which gradually made her give up the idea.

Now that she has been in the imperial court for quite some time, she has seen many palace maids who came with the same idea as her, but none of them had a good ending.

She couldn't help but feel extremely lucky that she met Moxiang. If Moxiang hadn't persuaded her, she would probably have followed the fate of those palace maids, and now she wouldn't even know where her body is.

"I'll go too." Yu Zhui said, "I'll talk to her."

After handing over the work to the two of them, Chu Liuzheng boiled some water and had nothing to do. As he stood there, he couldn't help but yawn.

I have been taking care of Caiyue during the day and have no time to sleep, so I feel sleepy when I work the night shift.

"Night duty is not a job for humans." Chu Liuzheng muttered, brought a chair over, and wanted to take a nap leaning against the back of the chair.

Before Keren could close his eyes, Xiao Anzi came running over.

"Miss, His Majesty has summoned Marquis Wenzhao, Grand Secretary Cao of Wenyuan Pavilion, and Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple to meet him. Master has instructed that His Majesty will eat less for dinner, so please prepare some snacks."

[Is Tyrant addicted to working night shifts? 】

Chu Liuzheng complained in his heart, but replied, "Okay, I'll get ready right away."

To go with the snacks, one naturally needs black tea or oolong tea. Chu Liuzheng opened the cupboard and took out a black teapot with a peony painted on it.

I just went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get the Tieguanyin today, so I’ll use this.

She sent someone to the imperial kitchen to ask for some easily digestible snacks, both salty and sweet.

When everything was ready, the three ministers also entered the palace.

Worried that Chu Liuzheng couldn't handle the job alone, Zhou Yuande specially sent two young palace maids to let her take charge.

Chu Liuzheng is no longer afraid that Zhou Yuande will have any intentions towards her.

The palace is conducting a strict investigation. Eunuch Zhou values ​​his life as much as she does, so he would never commit a crime in defiance of the law.

She instructed two young palace maids to pack the snacks. Not long after, a young eunuch came to report that the ministers had arrived.

Chu Liuzheng began to assign tasks and said to the assistant on the left: "You are responsible for delivering snacks. Wen Zhaohou likes salty snacks, while the other two adults like sweet snacks. Don't get them mixed up." "Yes."

Chu Liuzheng then said to the assistant on his right: "The tea is all the same. You are responsible for serving tea to the three adults. Be careful not to burn your hands."

"Yes."

"Okay, let's go." Chu Liuzheng picked up the mahogany tray. Her portion was for Emperor Shunguang, and it contained tea and snacks.

It wasn't that Chu Liuzheng wanted to rush to get close to Xiao Jingfan, but she was worried that the two little palace maids had never served in the imperial court. If they were frightened by the tyrant's domineering aura and lost their composure, they might end up pouring tea on the tyrant. She didn't want to be caught in the same misfortune.

This has happened before. According to Moxiang, before she was transferred to serve tea in front of the emperor, such things happened once or twice a month.

Of course, some were indeed frightened by the tyrant’s aura, while others simply wanted to use this opportunity to seduce the tyrant.

In TV dramas, there are too many intimate contacts while wiping the tyrant's robe, and the two of them look into each other's eyes.

The trick is old, but it works.

When the tyrant first ascended the throne, Lady Wen succeeded in ascending the throne in this way, and was favored by the tyrant for a period of time, which led to later generations coming one after another, all wanting to replicate this successful case.

Chu Liuzheng walked into the Wenhua Hall with his head slightly lowered, and went straight to Xiao Jingfan. The two little palace maids each performed their duties, placing tea and snacks on the table next to the ministers.

Three pairs of eyes fell on Chu Liuzheng at the same time, full of scrutiny and examination.

Chu Liuzheng pretended not to know and placed the teacup and two plates of snacks on the desk in front of Xiao Jingfan without even looking away. He stood there quietly for a while, and when he heard no other instructions, he quietly stepped aside and stood against the wall.

Xiao Jingfan was a little uncomfortable not hearing his inner voice, so he picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Wen Zhaohou said: "Your Majesty, going out to sea to search for the sacred object is related to the fate of the country. We need to discuss it carefully and carefully select the people who go out to sea."

"I summoned you all here to discuss this matter." Xiao Jingfan looked at the Left Junior Official of the Dali Temple. "At today's court meeting, someone recommended You Qing to me. Do you think you can take on this task?"

If you can go out to sea and find these three magical objects, you will surely be remembered forever.

How could You Shaoqing miss such a good opportunity? He silently thanked the colleague who recommended him in his heart and forced himself to suppress the excitement in his heart. Just as he was about to express his loyalty, a voice came into Xiao Jingfan's ears faster than his.

[Bah! Scumbag! ! ]

Xiao Jingfan: “?”

scold him?

Didn't this woman always call him a tyrant? When did she start calling him a scumbag?

[This Zuo Shaoqing is a scumbag who cheated on his feelings! The tyrant actually wants such a person to join the sea-going team. Didn’t he let the Jinyiwei check his character before selecting him? ]

Cheating in love?

Xiao Jingfan's eyes dimmed. Could it be another Qin Lang?
He glanced at the pretty figure beside him, totally unaware that the Left Shaoqing of the Dali Temple had already knelt down to express his loyalty, and patted his dragon's butt a little, waiting for his response with great anticipation.

[This scumbag, it would have been fine if he had been having an affair with his cousin without telling his wife, but he actually let his trusted guard sleep with his wife just because he didn't like her. Even on their wedding night, the guard went to sleep with her, while he went to his cousin's room.]

[This lie lasted for five years, in order to prevent the lady from getting pregnant with the guard's child, and she was secretly given a sterilizing drug so that she could no longer have children. The lady had been married for five years and had no children. She felt guilty towards the scumbag and even took the initiative to take a concubine for him and brought her cousin into the mansion. If the lady had not been married by imperial decree, her cousin would have almost become his second wife.]

[Tsk tsk, this lady is really pitiful. I have never seen a scumbag like Zuo Shaoqing who is eager to wear a green hat on his head. Bah! ]

Xiao Jingfan: “!!!”

If I remember correctly, Zuo Shaoqing's marriage was arranged by the late emperor himself, and his partner was Princess Mingxia, an orphan from the Chongde Marquis's mansion.
