I became the tyrant's only belief.

Chapter 50 Beauty Weeps in the Rain of Pear Blossoms

The unconscious Zhu Wanqing was discovered by the guards of Prince Shun's Mansion, who pinched his Ren Zhong point to wake him up.

Just when she was using her quick wit and working in unison with Gu Heng to smooth things over, things suddenly took a turn for the worse.

This time it was not Xiao Wentao, but Pei Yunjian, who directly exposed the fact that Miss Zhu was raising fish in public.

Everyone was in an uproar instantly.

Without any warning, Zhu Guanqing suddenly overturned:? ! !

Ren Qingxia was anxious. He walked closer to Pei Yunjian and lowered his voice very low: "Are you crazy?"

They haven't come up with a solution that both families can accept, so how can they expose Zhu Wanqing?
Without Zhu Wanqing, where can they find a woman who satisfies both families, can be asked out as a shield, and does not want to marry them at all?
Pei Yunjian ignored him, but glanced obscurely at the beautifully trimmed flowers and trees in the distance, and said loudly to everyone: "Besides, I also know that Prince Xiao..."

Before he could finish his words, Prince Shun came with his men and interrupted him, "The show is going on in the front, why are you all gathered here? Do you blame my palace for not hosting you well?"

No one believed that Prince Shun really didn't know what happened here, so the implication was that he wanted to solve the problem behind closed doors.

Most of the people present were knowledgeable and sensible. After all, if they were to help others now, it would also be convenient for themselves if they encountered similar situations in the future.

Everyone followed his advice and left, except the person involved and his parents.

When most people had left, Xiao Jingfan suddenly stood up from behind the flowers and trees, bent down to brush off his clothes, put his hands behind his back, and walked out leisurely.

Prince Shun seemed to have expected this, and he knelt down the moment he saw the man in red. "I am late in welcoming you, Your Majesty. Please forgive me."

Pei Yunjian reached out and grabbed Ren Qingxia's arm, then knelt down.

Others also reacted one after another and knelt down to welcome him.

"The distance between me and my uncle is too great." Xiao Jingfan walked slowly to Prince Shun, bent down and gave him some support.

Prince Shun stood up and was about to say something when Xiao Jingfan continued, "I suddenly remembered that today is my uncle's birthday. Everyone in the capital has received an invitation, except me. I can only come here uninvited. I hope my uncle will not be offended for not notifying him in time."

Prince Shun dared not be surprised, and knelt down again with a plop.

"How dare I disturb Your Majesty with such a small matter? Your Majesty, I am honored that you have come to my humble home and made it glorious. I am sorry that I was not thoughtful enough, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

"Uncle, you are too modest." Xiao Jingfan lowered his eyes and glared at him. His expression was hard to discern in the depths of his deep black eyes. "I think the furnishings in the palace are three times better than those in my Palace of Mental Cultivation. How can it be called a humble abode when it is so magnificent?"

Hearing this, Prince Shun was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. How could a minister live better than the emperor? Wasn't this close to death?

This isn't the first day the palace has been like this. Why did this ancestor suddenly think of picking on this?

He thought for a while and said:
"All the furnishings in the palace were given by the late emperor and the empress dowager. Your Majesty knows that I am not good at business and have no savings in the palace. Today, in order to maintain appearances and prevent outsiders from seeing the royal family as a joke, I put all the things out at once. I am sorry to make Your Majesty laugh."

Prince Shun bowed his head and kowtowed, speaking earnestly, "I have absolutely no intention of overstepping my bounds, please understand, Your Majesty."

[Tsk tsk, look at what they are saying. These things were all given by the late emperor and the empress dowager. If the tyrant is not satisfied, then he is disrespecting the late emperor and the empress dowager. If he is accused of being disrespectful and unfilial, won't the tyrant be spitted to death by the censors? ]

Chu Liuzheng followed Zhou Yuande and walked over, standing behind Xiao Jingfan.

She looked quiet and well-behaved on the surface, but that didn't stop her from being pounding inside.

Ever since he learned that Prince Shun almost killed Xiao Jingfan to seize the throne, Chu Liuzheng felt that he was going to rebel.

[The tyrant just raised my monthly salary. If someone else becomes the emperor, my monthly salary might drop back down. It is better for the tyrant to continue to be the emperor.]

Xiao Jingfan: "..."

Thank you!
"Uncle, please get up quickly. I have no intention of blaming you." Xiao Jingfan glanced at Zhou Yuande, who immediately stepped forward to help Prince Shun up, saying caringly, "The ground is cold. Your Highness is an old man, and you should take care of your body."

Prince Shun looked at him and asked, "Why do I feel that this eunuch is mocking my age?"

He smiled politely: "Thank you, Eunuch Zhou." Zhou Yuande also smiled and returned to stand beside Xiao Jingfan.

Xiao Jingfan waved his hand, "Everyone, get up."

Everyone then thanked him and stood up.

Prince Shun looked at the ministers standing behind Xiao Jingfan with a resentful look. Didn't you say you had to go to the toilet because of your stomachache? You've already gone to the garden, right?

If the housekeeper hadn't told him that there was no one in the toilet, he would still be kept in the dark!

The ministers felt a little embarrassed by his stare. After all, it was not very nice to gather together to watch other people's fun.

But then they remembered that it was the emperor who took the lead in watching the fun, and they came following the emperor, so the ministers straightened their backs again.

They are here to protect the emperor, definitely not to watch the fun!
Prince Shun: "..."

shameless! !

Xiao Jingfan didn't think he was being unkind.

The whole world belongs to me. Where can I not go? What excitement can I not see?
"I was just strolling across the street and happened to see a good show."

His meaningful gaze swept over Xiao Wentao and the others, and finally landed on Zhu Wanqing, "Miss Zhu is really capable of fooling the four of them."

Censor Zhu immediately knelt down and apologized, "I failed to teach my daughter well. I will discipline her strictly in the future. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Mrs. Zhu also pulled Zhu Wanqing to kneel down.

Zhu Wanqing knelt down, but it was to protest her injustice, "I am innocent. I beg Your Majesty to allow me to defend myself."

Before he finished speaking, his eyes were already red and round tears fell down.

[No, there are several witnesses here, how can I clear it? ]

Chu Liuzheng secretly looked at Zhu Wanqing.

The system described that Miss Zhu's appearance was not as good as her younger sister. Chu Liuzheng had never seen the beautiful lady Zhu in the harem, but in her opinion, Miss Zhu was already a beauty, the kind of fragile and pitiful beauty who could arouse a man's desire to protect her.

The beauty's eyes were wet with tears, making her look even more pitiful.

[A beauty sheds tears like a pear blossom rain. Tsk tsk, no wonder she can raise fish. With this face, shedding two tears lightly, wouldn’t it make a man heartbroken? ]

Some people present felt distressed.

Gu Heng was the first one.

He pursed his lips and looked at the tearful beauty. Seeing her so weak and helpless made him feel so distressed that he wanted to hold her in his arms and comfort her.

He doesn't care about Zhu Wanqing lying to him, as long as he is the only one from now on.

Xiao Wentao also felt very distressed.

Miss Zhu's crying reminded him of his true love.

Yu'er is also a crybaby, and she is so pitiful when she cries.

As for the other three fish, the son of the Yuanwailang of the Ministry of Revenue was not there and did not know that he was being kept as fish. The remaining two were bent.

It's just acting? Why are you so sad?
They should just take care of their butts, because they don’t know how many beatings are waiting for them when they go back.
