I became the tyrant's only belief.

Chapter 79: Rescued by a Hero

【! ! ! 】

[The tyrant was assassinated? ! ! ]

Chu Liuzheng was so frightened that he hit his claws on the edge of the table. He groaned in pain and tears instantly filled his eyes.

Xia Qiaoru didn't care about her panic and quickly held her hand and blew cool air upwards.

Xiao Xiazi ran over to open the door.

Immediately, three Yulin Guards rushed in and searched the house.

Maybe someone had given instructions in advance, so although it looked aggressive, nothing was broken.

Chu Liuzheng knew the leader. He was a captain of the Yulin Zuowei. His surname was Zhang and his name was Zhang Hong. He was responsible for patrolling and guarding the area around Wenhua Palace.

The two had met several times, and it was obvious that Zhang Hong also recognized Chu Liuzheng.

He nodded to Chu Liuzheng and said, "I am here to search as ordered. Sorry for disturbing your rest."

Chu Liuzheng smiled and said, "It is my duty as Lord Zhang, I dare not disturb you."

Zhang Hong glanced at the leftovers on the table, then looked at Xia Qiaoru and the other two with a scrutinizing look in his eyes: "I haven't seen you in Wenhua Palace before. Which palace are you from?"

Xia Qiaoru bowed gracefully and said, "Your Excellency, the three of us servants are working in the pharmacy of the Imperial Hospital. We came here specially to chat with Miss Liu Zheng and relieve her boredom at the request of Miss Caiyue, the roommate of Miss Liu Zheng."

Zhang Hong also heard about Chu Liuzheng causing trouble in Huaqing Palace and getting injured.

Seeing that Xia Qiaoru was not at all panicked, Xiao Xiazi and Xiao Yunzi also looked quite calm, so they must have been telling the truth.

He dismissed his suspicion and said to the three people, "It's late at night, don't stay outside. The Imperial Hospital will search soon. If they find that you are not here, you will not be able to explain yourself."

This is a friendly reminder.

Xia Qiaoru said hurriedly: "Thank you, Master Zhang, for your advice. We will clean up the dishes on the table and go back to the pharmacy."

"Yeah." Zhang Hong waved his hand, and the Yulin guards in the room retreated.

He turned to Chu Liuzheng and said, "It's chaotic outside tonight, young lady, please stay inside and don't go out casually."

Chu Liuzheng nodded, with a faint smile on his face, "Master Zhang, take care."

Zhang Hong glanced at Xia Qiaoru and the other two again before leaving with his men.

Xiao Yunzi hurriedly ran over to close the door, turned around, patted his chest, and let out a long sigh.

"My goodness, Captain Zhang's glare at me just now was so scary that my legs went limp. If Xiao Xiazi hadn't supported me, I would have fallen to my knees."

Xiao Xiazi also said with lingering fear: "It is said that Captain Zhang has a bad temper. All the palace servants who fall into his hands will be punished by the Ministry of Punishment. Now it seems that he is not as scary as the rumors say."

"That's because Liu Zheng is here." Xia Qiaoru looked at the two of them. "Before, Captain Zhang violated His Majesty's taboo and was punished to kneel in Wenhua Hall. It was Liu Zheng who helped him out."

"So there is a reason for this." Xiao Yunzi stuck out her tongue and said with a smile, "We are all blessed by Miss Liu Zheng."

Chu Liuzheng said helplessly: "I didn't do anything. I just served His Majesty a cup of tea, and His Majesty asked me if Lord Zhang was qualified for the job."

"I can't say bad things about someone in front of him, can I? I could only reply in a proper manner. Your Majesty is so tolerant and generous, and Lord Zhang has accepted a favor from me for nothing."

Xiao Yunzi immediately praised her, "That's because the girl is kind-hearted and good at speaking, and she has face in front of His Majesty."

Chu Liuzheng just smiled slightly in response to this flattery.

"You just don't take anything to heart." Xia Qiaoru said as she cleaned up the dishes, "No matter what the reason is, you helped him once, and he should be grateful to you."

Xiao Xiazi and Xiao Yunzi also came over to help clean up.

Xiao Yunzi lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty was assassinated. I don't know if he was injured."

"Probably not." Xiao Xiazi guessed, "If His Majesty was really injured, the entire palace would be alarmed, and the noise would definitely reach us."

"I said you were timid, but now you are bolder." Xia Qiaoru glared at the two of them, "How can we speculate about the safety of His Majesty? Be careful not to cause trouble!"

The two of them immediately fell silent and dared not say anything more.

During this time, Chu Liuzheng had already opened the system.

[Emperor Shunguang was saved by a hero...]

Chu Liuzheng choked up when he saw this eye-catching title. [It is true that the Tyrant is good-looking, but beauty or something... Why are these gossip titles getting more and more weird?]

She clicked on it to see the details.

[Emperor Shunguang was assassinated at his birthday banquet. A palace maid stepped forward to block the arrow for Emperor Shunguang, and her life was in danger.]

[This... doesn't the tyrant have secret guards around him? Why does he need a palace maid to block the arrows? ]

Chu Liuzheng scrolled down in confusion.

[Let me see who this palace maid who bravely saved the tyrant is...]

"Colorful Moon!!!"

Chu Liuzheng was so shocked that he shouted out what was in his heart, scaring the three people who were cleaning up.

Xia Qiaoru thought she was worried about Caiyue, so she said, "Your Majesty was assassinated, and we must investigate one by one. Miss Caiyue will probably be back in the second half of the night."

Chu Liuzheng nodded randomly, but was thinking in his heart: Caiyue might never come back.

【What about having supper together as promised? 】

She sighed softly.

[Sacrificing one's life to save the tyrant is a great deed. As long as Caiyue can survive, she will definitely be rewarded with grace. ]

[It all depends on what Caiyue chooses. Now that she has even risked her life, I hope this silly girl won’t get carried away and let the tyrant use this life-saving grace to help her father get promoted.]

After the dishes on the table were cleared away, Xia Qiaoru said, "Xia Zi, go and boil some hot water. I'll help Liu Zheng wash up. It's not convenient for her to do it alone."

"Okay." Xiao Xiazi put down the rag and ran to boil hot water.

Xiao Yunzi in the room helped add two pieces of charcoal into the brazier.

He didn't notice it at first, but when the candlelight flashed, he could see the difference in the charcoal.

It turned out to be silver charcoal.

He was delighted, thinking that it was right to curry favor with Miss Liu Zheng.

After thinking about it, he pretended not to notice and just moved the brazier to the side of the bed.

Soon, Xia Qiaoru helped Chu Liuzheng wash up and solved all physiological problems.

She looked around anxiously, as if trying to see if there was anything else she hadn't done.

Chu Liuzheng urged her: "Hurry up and go, the Imperial Guards will be checking the Imperial Hospital soon."

"Then I'll be leaving." Xia Qiaoru reached out and tucked the quilt for her. "Take care of yourself. The cup is next to the bed. I inserted a bamboo tube into it. If you're thirsty, take a sip to moisten your mouth. Don't drink too much. There's no one else in the room, so it's inconvenient if you want to go to the toilet."

Chu Liuzheng felt relieved and his eyes curved. "Got it. Let's go."

"I'll come see you tomorrow."

The door opened and closed, and Xiao Xiazi and Xiao Yunzi, who were waiting outside, turned their heads to look over.

Xia Qiaoru shrank her neck as the cold wind blew, "Let's go, let's walk faster, so we don't get caught."

"it is good."

Hearing the footsteps fading away, Chu Liuzheng immediately opened the system to eat melons from the banquet.

[Let me see what’s going on with Caiyue…]

[Phew~ Fortunately, it's okay. I just got scratched on the neck by the arrow. I need to rest for a few days. ]

[This assassin is too vicious, he actually coated the arrow with poison. Fortunately, the Imperial Hospital is well-equipped, with doctors who are good at everything, so detoxification is no problem, otherwise Caiyue would have died. ]

[Hmm... The tyrant was furious and ordered the Imperial Guards to search the entire palace and make sure to catch the assassin! ]

Chu Liuzheng rubbed his hands in his heart.

[Come on, let me see who is the lunatic who dares to assassinate the tyrant? ]
