I became the tyrant's only belief.

Chapter 52: The Emperor's Anger Is Calmed with Blood
"His Majesty!"

“Wen Tao!!”

"Son!!"

Some were crying, some were falling, some were helping others, some were grabbing others. In the chaos, Xiao Jingfan turned around and left the Prince Shun's Mansion leisurely as he came.

The people behind him knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, I respectfully send you off!"

After a while.

In front of the gate of Prince Shun's mansion, Xie Hui drew his sword from its sheath, and a bright flash of the blade passed by.

Blood spurted out.

"Ah——" Xiao Wentao opened his eyes wide, his body fell limply, and the bright red blood spurting from his neck splashed onto the pair of stone lions at the gate, turning from hot to cold and gradually solidifying.

"Ah!!" Many people who were forced to watch the execution screamed.

Red is a festive color, but Xiao Wentao's red has cast an indelible shadow over the entire Shunjun Palace.

Zhu Guanqing, who was being held by the Embroidered Uniform Guards to watch the execution, knelt on the ground with his mouth covered, staring at Xiao Wentao's eyes that were open in death, tears falling uncontrollably.

Sadness does exist.

She spent a lot of time and effort on Xiao Wentao, even being willing to be Zhu Hanyu's stand-in, but she regretted it even more.

I regret why it wasn't her who entered the palace that year!

She had wasted so much time on these useless mortals.

She lowered her head, her slender white fingers clenched the hem of her skirt, and her shoulders twitched slightly. Others just thought she was sad, but no one noticed the scorching light flashing from her eyes.

She wants to enter the palace! She wants to conquer that man!
Such a decisive and noble man deserves to be Zhu Wanqing's lover!
At the same time, Xiao Jingfan, who was leaning against the carriage with his eyes closed, suddenly sneezed.

He opened his eyes.

Zhou Yuande immediately stepped forward and handed over a cup of hot tea: "It's windy today. Your Majesty just stood in the wind for a long time. Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"Nothing." Xiao Jingfan took the tea and took a sip, then raised his eyelids and asked, "Where is the person?"

"Still following the carriage." Zhou Yuande answered cautiously.

He really couldn't understand what this person was thinking. When they were in the garden of Prince Shun's mansion, the two of them were about to go together, but as soon as they left the mansion, their Majesty punished them by making them follow behind the carriage and not allowing them to get on the carriage.

You say you are annoying me, but you can't help asking after such a short time. It's obvious that you still miss me.

Xiao Jingfan put down the teacup and glanced at the hourglass on the table. It had been nearly a quarter of an hour, so he decided to teach that woman a lesson.

He put the pocket watch away and pointed at the tea bowl with his jade-like fingers. "The taste is not right. Your tea-making skills are not as good as before."

How could Zhou Yuande not understand the meaning of this, so he immediately apologized with a smile and tried to give way.

"Ever since Miss Liu Zheng came to the tea room, I have been trying to stay away from work. It is my fault. Your Majesty, please call Miss Liu Zheng in so that we can have a cup of tea."

"That's exactly what you lazy bum want." Xiao Jingfan scolded with a smile, and pushed the teacup forward, "Forget it, call someone in to make tea."

"Yes." Zhou Yuande responded with a smile and went out to call for help.

Behind the carriage, Chu Liuzheng was chatting with a young man from the Imperial Guard. The carriage was moving slowly, so walking a few steps was considered as increasing the amount of exercise.

The young man from Jinyiwei was a talkative man. He had lived in the south since he was a child. He talked a lot about the unique customs and practices of the south, which made Chu Liuzheng yearn for it.

In her previous life, she had no time to travel in order to earn a few dollars, so she had to take a good look at this beautiful land in this life. When she was released from the palace when she was old enough, she would also go to the south to take a look.

I wonder how the prosperous Jiangnan during this prosperous dynasty compares to the dynasties recorded in previous history?

Just as they were chatting excitedly, the carriage suddenly stopped.

Manager Zhou stood on the shaft of the carriage, half of his body leaned out and waved to Chu Liuzheng, "Miss Liuzheng, His Majesty wants you to get on the carriage and make tea, hurry up."

[Damn it! You thought of me while drinking tea! ]

Chu Liuzheng waved his hand at the Jinyiwei brother with a hint of unfulfilled desire, "Young man from the Liu family, let's talk again some other day."

"Okay." Brother Liu said with a smile, "I'll send you some local specialties tomorrow. They are all sent by my family in Jiangnan. Please try them."

"Okay." Chu Liuzheng agreed immediately, his bright almond eyes smiling into a pair of crescent moons, "It's a deal, I'll treat you to tea then."

"Okay, it's a deal." Brother Liu waved to Chu Liuzheng, and Chu Liuzheng did not stop and walked forward quickly.

Seeing the slender figure board the carriage and no longer visible, Brother Liu reluctantly withdrew his gaze, raised his hand and touched his head happily, thinking that this girl has a really good temper. If...

"Snapped!"

Another Jinyiwei brother named Wu slapped Brother Liu on the back and led him forward, saying as he walked: "Brother, don't blame me for not reminding you, don't think about people you shouldn't think about."

When his brother revealed his hazy thoughts, Brother Liu blushed immediately and pushed him: "What are you talking about? Don't ruin the girl's reputation!"

"Oh, you're protecting me now?" Brother Wu deliberately teased him. Seeing that Brother Liu was getting angry, he stopped laughing and said seriously, "I'm serious with you. Don't take it lightly."

He pointed at the carriage in front and said in a low voice: "That person, you dare to have wild thoughts, don't you want your head anymore?"

Brother Liu was stunned. Wasn't that girl a palace maid serving tea? How did she involve His Majesty?
Seeing him like this, Brother Wu simply explained it more clearly, "You were guarding outside the palace just now, and you didn't follow the leader in, so you didn't see it. That girl is not someone you can covet, so give up your thoughts as soon as possible. Can my brother still harm you?"

Hearing this, Brother Liu's face turned pale, and under Brother Wu's gaze, he nodded and said, "I understand."

——Wow, his first love!!
Inside the carriage, Chu Liuzheng didn't know that a certain young man's spring love was shattered. After she served the brewed tea to Xiao Jingfan, she knelt on the cushion and started to daydream.

She always felt that there was something strange about what happened today.

The tyrant went to celebrate his uncle's birthday on a whim, but ended up killing the uncle's son with just a few words. The happy event turned into a funeral, with the old sending off the young. It looked like he was looking for trouble.

[But there is no hatred or grudge between the tyrant and the prince of madness, why do you want to kill the prince of madness? ]

Chu Liuzheng kept searching in the system, trying to sort out the logic of this matter.

[No... Could it be that the tyrant suddenly had the intention to kill? ]

While serving in the imperial court, in order to save his life, Chu Liuzheng was always extra careful and kept an eye on Xiao Jingfan's taboos to avoid accidentally getting caught in the crossfire.

She felt that today's trip to Prince Shun's mansion was a bit like the emperor's wrath being appeased with blood.

As she was flipping through the pages, she suddenly saw a line of words.

[Eh? The tyrant actually sent people to monitor the third instructor of the Dark Guard Battalion. Did the tyrant discover that he was the illegitimate son of Prince Shun? ]

【Frog fun! This makes sense! How can I allow others to snore beside my bed? The tyrant is suspicious and thoughtful. Knowing that Prince Shun has spies around him, how can he not warn Prince Shun?】

[He directly killed the only legitimate son of a man. This shows how angry the tyrant was. Tsk tsk, Prince Shun is really going too far with this! ]
