I became the tyrant's only belief.

Chapter 43 A Golden Phoenix Flies Out
Manager Zhou immediately responded, "I'm here."

"I suddenly remembered that tomorrow seems to be Prince Shun's birthday." Xiao Jingfan put the teacup aside and raised his eyelids to look at him, "Is it or not?"

"Your Majesty remembers it well."

Zhou Yuande looked at Xiao Jingfan's expression carefully and considered his answer.

"I heard that the Shun County Prince's Mansion is going to hold a big birthday banquet, and they also want to take this opportunity to look for noble ladies from various families for the prince and arrange a marriage for him."

Engagement?

Chu Liuzheng, who was dejected in the corner, perked up a little and searched the system.

[Eunuch Zhou is well-informed. Prince Shun really has this plan.]

[Let me see, Prince Shun is worried that his son will be cheated on by the tyrant, so he wants to quickly find a princess for his son to stop him from having such thoughts.]

[Tsk tsk, he is indeed a prince who can survive under the tyrant's sword. He even knew that after Xinpin cheated on the tyrant, the adulterer was turned into a human pig. He must have someone in the palace. ]

Xiao Jingfan's expression suddenly darkened.

All the palace maids in Yungui Garden were silenced, and the human pig incident was handled by the secret guards themselves, so it was impossible for it to be spread out. How could Prince Shun know it so clearly?

Could it be that Prince Shun has spies around him?

Thinking of this possibility, several suspicious candidates flashed through his mind.

Manager Zhou, who happened to be on the suspect list, suddenly felt a chill on his back, but before he could figure out where the chill came from, it suddenly disappeared.

because……

[So he is the spy, the third instructor of the Dark Guard Battalion.]

[Aren't all the secret guards brainwashed to be loyal to their masters since childhood? Why did this man betray the tyrant? ]

Chu Liuzheng continued to dig in confusion.

Little did he know that these two voices happened to save Zhou Yuande's life.

——Once the emperor becomes suspicious, human lives must be sacrificed to counteract it.

[Hmm...it's hard to rate...it's a true melodrama novel that shines into reality.]

Xiao Jingfan wanted to hear how bloody it was.

He winked at Zhou Yuande and asked him to grind the ink to prevent the servant from interrupting Chu Liuzheng's thoughts again.

Chu Liuzheng, who was not disturbed by anyone, stood in the corner and ate melon happily, not even looking listless.

[The tyrant is a man of great foresight. He picked the illegitimate son of Prince Shun at first sight among a hundred people. He is so lucky that he can buy a lottery ticket.]

Xiao Jingfan: "..."

Although he didn't know what a lottery ticket was, he could tell that it was not a good thing to say.

[Tsk tsk tsk, Prince Shun's plot is a bit grand. When the previous emperor was still alive, he had placed people around each prince. If the tyrant hadn't held the military power, it's not certain who would have sat on the throne three years ago.]

[The tyrant really has to thank the Eleventh Young Master. On the day when the previous emperor passed away, if the Eleventh Young Master had not followed the tyrant closely throughout the entire process, even resisting the urge to go to the toilet, the tyrant would have been killed by the illegitimate son long ago.]

Xiao Jingfan: Give Eleven a credit.

As for the illegitimate child?
A sneer appeared on his lips. If he didn't make good use of the handle that was right in front of him, wouldn't he be letting down his good uncle's good intentions?
Chu Liuzheng didn't know that he had exposed a certain illegitimate child who was hidden very secretly, and was looking for candidates for the fiancée of the Dian Gong prince.

[The Princess of Shun County really cares about her son. The ladies she selected are all excellent. However, she really doesn't care about the ladies' lives. Marrying a man like the Crazy Prince is like jumping into a fire pit. It's better not to marry. In my opinion, Miss Zhu, this white lotus, should be locked up with the Crazy Prince to prevent her from harming others! ]

White lotus?
Xiao Jingfan thought about the word. Lotus symbolizes noble character, so it seemed like a good word. But from the woman's tone, it seemed like an insult.

Not sure, listen again.

[You can't stand the fact that your concubine's sister is prettier than you, so you want to take away all her things. At least you should take away some good things. Why do you want to take away something like the mad prince? Are you going to chop it up and burn it as charcoal in the middle of winter?]

Xiao Jingfan: Yeah, that's a good idea. [Miss Zhu is also going to the birthday banquet, but she is not on the list of daughters-in-law to be chosen by Princess Shun. Tsk tsk, I wonder what kind of Shura scene tomorrow will be. Will the crazy prince go crazy in public? Ahhh, I really want to see it live! ]

Xiao Jingfan's eyes moved.

See the scene...seems like a good idea.

……

The next day, the weather was fine.

Today is Prince Shun’s birthday. Under the management of Princess Shun, the entire Prince Shun’s Mansion is decorated luxuriously and festively.

Prince Shun was a brother valued by the late emperor, and he was also one of the only two princes who could remain in the capital after the new emperor ascended the throne.

He was a friendly and gentle person who liked to be kind to others. He had a good reputation among the nobles. In addition, he had a say in front of Emperor Shunguang, so he was quite respectable in the capital.

Intending to hold a grand birthday banquet, Shunjun Prince's Mansion sent invitations to almost all the ministers' residences in Beijing. Today was also a day off, so most of the families who received the invitations came with their families.

As guests arrived, the entire Shun County Prince's Mansion became lively, and everyone who came and went had smiles on their faces. Only in the study, the Crown Prince Xiao Wentao had a sullen face and a gloomy expression, as if someone owed him thousands of taels of silver.

"Father, I won't marry anyone except Yu'er! If you force me to marry someone else, I won't be the crown prince anymore!"

"Okay." Prince Shun glanced at him, "You are not the only son I have. Tomorrow I will submit a petition to His Majesty to depose you from the title of Crown Prince."

"Don't think I'm okay... huh?"

Xiao Wentao was stunned. What did his father just say? Did he abolish his position as the crown prince?

"Come on, why don't you continue?" Prince Shun snorted coldly, "Do you want me to report to His Majesty and have you removed from the clan so that you can pursue your true love?"

Xiao Wentao:!!!

Eliminate the clan!

My father is so ruthless!

Isn’t he the only legitimate son of my father?

"Why don't you say anything?" Prince Shun stared at him with his eagle eyes. "You dare to ask. I'm happy today and I promise not to hit you. Whether you ask to be deposed as the heir or expelled from the clan for a woman, as a father, I will satisfy you!"

Xiao Wentao: "..."

This is different from what he thought!

……

At the same time, under the escort of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, a carriage drove out of the palace and headed towards Prince Shun's Mansion.

On the shaft, Xiao Anzi pulled the reins and asked the people around him, "Master, why don't you go in and serve? Miss Liu Zheng is the only one waiting in the carriage, and I'm afraid she can't handle it."

"Don't say that the master doesn't love you. What is the most important thing for us as servants?" Zhou Yuande leaned leisurely against the carriage and turned to look at his apprentice.

Xiao Anzi said obediently: "Of course I will serve my master wholeheartedly."

"You are a smart kid." Zhou Yuande narrowed his eyes, "Just remember one thing, we will give you whatever the master wants, nothing else matters."

What does His Majesty want now? It must be Miss Liu Zheng.

Didn’t you see that he brought only one palace maid with him when he left the palace?

This is a rare opportunity for some alone time, and if he goes in now he will only be an eyesore to His Majesty.

Xiao Anzi pondered over what his master had said, tasting it again and again, and finally figuring out some of the flavor.

No wonder the master takes such good care of Miss Liu Zheng. It turns out there is a reason behind it.

He smiled with his eyes bent. I'm afraid another golden phoenix will fly out of Nongyun Garden.
