I became the tyrant's only belief.

Chapter 35 Ah! Tyrant, you are harming me

"Where is the reward?"

Realizing that her tone was too excited, Princess Mingxia coughed, held her forehead weakly, and her powerful voice became weak.

"What I mean is that rewards are not important. Your Majesty has forgiven my sins for the sake of our ancestors. This is already a great favor. How can I be so shameless as to ask for a reward from Your Majesty?"

Xie Hui: "..."

If it weren't for those handsome men and the maidservants who were still crying, I would have believed that you were really weak.

If You Shaoyun saw this scene, he would probably be so angry that he would come back to life.

His eyes turned, and he became a little teasing: "Princess, do you really not want the reward from His Majesty?"

"Your Majesty is benevolent in caring for the descendants of loyal ministers. How can I disobey you?" Princess Mingxia bowed towards the direction of the palace with gratitude on her face. "Mingxia thanks the Lord for his grace."

The butler beside him whispered, "Thank you, sir. The reward can be brought in now."

"No need to bother." Xie Hui handed the wooden box to Princess Mingxia very solemnly, "The emperor wrote this, I hope you can frame it and read it for a quarter of an hour every day."

Princess Mingxia blinked her bright peach blossom eyes, looked at the small wooden box and then at Xie Hui. Is this the reward?

Xie Hui: "I have official business to attend to. Goodbye."

"and many more!"

Xie Hui turned around and asked, "Princess, is there anything else?"

"Thank you, sir. I am so sad that I want to use external things to ease my grief." Princess Mingxia's face was full of sorrow. "Can you please not tell His Majesty what I just saw?"

Xie Hui's voice turned cold: "The princess wants me to deceive you?"

"No, no, no, of course not." How could Princess Mingxia dare to take the charge? "What I mean is, if Your Majesty doesn't ask, could Lord Xie not take the initiative to tell Your Majesty?"

"I have my reasons for doing this. If you need my Chongde Marquis Mansion in the future, please feel free to ask, sir."

"Princess, you might as well take a look at what's in the box first." Xie Hui said this and strode away.

As expected, he refused to listen to anything.

Princess Mingxia bit her lip in annoyance, thinking that it was a bad decision.

She thought that the current emperor was busy with many affairs and would not pay attention to her, a divorced woman, so she relaxed a little.

I didn't expect that the emperor would actually send Xie Hui to the Chongde Marquis' Mansion, and he broke in and saw what happened just now.

If His Majesty knew that she was acting...

The color drained from Princess Mingxia's face.

——Deceiving the emperor is a serious crime punishable by execution of the entire family.

"Princess, please don't scare yourself." The housekeeper said, "Since Lord Xie asked you to look at the contents of the box, you might as well take a look first."

When I opened the box, what came into view was a paper roll.

Princess Mingxia slowly unfolded the paper scroll, and the word "moderation" with a murderous aura suddenly came into her eyes.

Her pupils suddenly shrank, her hands trembled, and she almost lost her grip.

——His Majesty knows everything.

"Princess." The housekeeper supported her worriedly.

"Find the best craftsman to frame it and hang it in the most conspicuous place in the study." Princess Mingxia made a prompt decision and handed the paper roll to the housekeeper, "Do it immediately."

The emperor did not expose her in person, but just sent this calligraphy over. He probably had no intention of investigating the matter further.

But if she wants to do something about this matter, she will be out of line, and then the emperor will no longer let it go.

She paced back and forth for a few steps with one hand on her chin, then turned around and gave instructions to the guards.

"You, go and call back the people who spread the news."

"You, take that courtesan to a safe place, hire a doctor and give her medicine, and give her one thousand taels, to ensure that she will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life."

"You, send someone to the prison to tell them that everything will be as it should be. There is no need to entertain the You family specially, especially my cousin. Wait until she dies before telling her the truth."

"You, arrange for a few servants to keep an eye on the teahouse and tavern, and report back promptly if there is any movement."

The guards obeyed the order: "Yes!"
[Oh, Grand Secretary Cao is really quick, he wrote the article so quickly. Let me take a look... Tsk tsk, he didn't even repeat the words of praise, is he trying to make Princess Mingxia a role model for women all over the world?]

[The market response is quite good, most people are praising Princess Mingxia. ]

[Hmm? Among those who are praising Princess Mingxia are the water army sent by Princess Mingxia? Hahaha, they actually put notes on the people who cursed Princess Mingxia, and the notes were full of embarrassing things they had done, stealing bamboo shoots! ]

Chu Liuzheng continued to flip through the pages.

[Eh? Why did you suddenly withdraw the navy? ]

[Oh, it was the tyrant who sent the Royal Guards to deliver a letter to Princess Mingxia. I thought the tyrant didn't know that Princess Mingxia was acting, but it turns out he knew about it a long time ago. You really can't underestimate the Royal Guards' intelligence network.]

[Wait! Marquis Wen Zhao invited a matchmaker to the Chongde Marquis Mansion, hoping to ask for Princess Mingxia to be his second son's second wife! ]

[Frog fun! You are pitting your son! Marquis Wen Zhao knows that Princess Mingxia has already raised five, six, seven or eight young men. Will there be another five, six, seven or eight in the future? Is he dissatisfied with the fact that the Marquis's mansion is too small and not lively enough? ]

I was enjoying the gossip when a familiar voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Is Miss Liu Zheng here?"

Caiyue, who was resting with her eyes closed on the bed next to her, immediately opened her eyes and turned to Chu Liuzheng and said, "It's Eunuch Zhou who is here."

Chu Liuzheng nodded, she also recognized it was Zhou Yuande's voice.

"Just lie still, I'll go out and take a look."

Chu Liuzheng got off the bed, walked over and opened the door.

Zhou Yuande was standing in the yard with a friendly look on his face. When he saw her come out, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

Chu Liuzheng glanced at the young eunuch holding a tray behind him and asked in confusion, "Eunuch Zhou, why did you come here suddenly?"

"Congratulations to the young lady." Zhou Yuande said with a smile, "The young lady has done a great job in serving the emperor, and these are all rewards from His Majesty."

Chu Liuzheng: ???

What did she do to deserve the tyrant's reward?
It can’t be because the tea I brewed last night was particularly delicious, right?

"Could you please explain it more clearly, sir?"

Zhou Yuande gave her a look that could only be understood, and said with a smile: "Miss, you have your own thoughts, so hurry up and thank me."

Chu Liuzheng: “…”

[What do I have? Please explain clearly! ]

The emperor's reward cannot be refused.

Not only can we not refuse, we must also be grateful.

Chu Liuzheng pretended to be happy and bowed in the direction of Wenhua Palace, "Thank you, my Lord, for your grace."

Zhou Yuande motioned for the eunuch behind him to come forward and said to Chu Liuzheng, "His Majesty has ordered that if the young lady doesn't like these patterns, she can go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to choose one herself."

Chu Liuzheng glanced at the three pieces of satin with plain patterns and said sincerely, "I like them very much. Thank you, Eunuch Zhou, for your trouble."

"You are too polite, young lady." Zhou Yuande said meaningfully, "Your good fortune is yet to come."

Chu Liuzheng: “!!!”

[Could this guy have misunderstood that the tyrant has taken a fancy to me? ]

[Wait! I can explain! ! ]

Zhou Yuande didn't even give Chu Liuzheng a chance to explain. He held up his whisk and tapped the two boxes of scented powder on the tray. "I heard that the young lady likes jasmine. These two boxes of scented powder are specially made by the imperial pharmacy with jasmine as the base note at the order of His Majesty."

Chu Liuzheng was flattered and terrified.

[The Imperial Pharmacy is a place that specially prepares perfumes for the emperor. How can a little palace maid like me be worthy of using the perfume specially prepared by the Imperial Pharmacy? ]

[If I remember correctly, only the Queen and Concubine Rong in the entire harem had this honor, right? Not even Concubine Shu, who gave birth to the princess.]

[It’s over, it’s over. If this news gets to the harem, won’t I be torn to pieces by those women? ]

[Ah! ! Tyrant, you are harming me! ! ]
