I became the tyrant's only belief.

Chapter 91 The True and False Princess
[Look at the way Eunuch Zhou treats Zhu Jixiang like his grandson. He is indeed the tyrant's confidant, so confident.]

Chu Liuzheng looked a little envious.

[If I could become the tyrant's confidant... forget it. A confidant knows too many secrets. I'll be tied to the tyrant for life and there's no way I can leave the palace. I still want to go home.]

The thought of struggle flashed by and was thrown behind Chu Liuzheng's mind like dust.

Zhu Jixiang, who was scolded like a grandson, left in disgrace with his men, but left his things behind.

A piece of plain cloth, two boxes of rose-scented powder, and ten taels of silver.

[Cai Baolin is quite trustworthy. He paid me back several times the money for the medicine.]

Although the process was a bit disgusting, Chu Liuzheng would not go against the money.

Plastic roommate friendship is fake, but the money is real.

She has two goals in the palace.

First, he lived safely until he was 25 years old and then left the palace.

Second, save more money for retirement.

The marriage system of Sheng State was too unfriendly to women. Chu Liuzheng could not change the environment, so she had no plans to get married in this life.

Therefore, the more people like Cai Baolin who are eager to give her money, the better.

Of course, it’s better if the process is more enjoyable.

Zhou Yuande glanced at Chu Liuzheng and saw that there was no sign of annoyance on her face. He couldn't help but sigh that Your Majesty had good taste.

Look at this calm demeanor, he is someone who can accomplish great things.

Moxiang asked, "Eunuch Zhou, do you have any instructions for me to come here now?"

"We have been ordered to deliver two things to Miss Liu Zheng." Zhou Yuande motioned the young eunuch behind him to come forward, reached out and lifted the red silk on the tray, revealing the rabbit fur cloak and deerskin boots underneath.

Chu Liuzheng blinked.

[My fortune is very good today. Everyone comes to give me gifts. The queen may be showing favor, Cai Baolin is demonstrating, and what is the tyrant for? Caring for his subordinates? ]

Chu Liuzheng felt something was wrong.

[It is said that one should not receive rewards without merit. I have a personal nurse and a private doctor, and I also have my own chicken soup. According to Doctor Li, the medicinal food is being prepared, and now someone has sent something over...hiss! The tyrant is not going to fatten me up and then sell me, right? ]

Thinking of this possibility, Chu Liuzheng panicked.

She had never considered the possibility that the tyrant would take a fancy to her.

Although she thought she was okay in appearance, not stunningly beautiful or peerless in beauty, but still pretty enough.

However, there are so many beauties in the harem. If the tyrant wants to find someone like her, there are plenty of them with better family backgrounds than hers. How could she be the one?
As for love?

Haha, talking about love with the emperor, is it her brain that is flawed or is it Xiao Jingfan's brain that is flawed?
The emperor is a suspicious, sensitive, and arrogant creature. He is full of tricks and only knows how to calculate gains and losses and give favors. How can there be equal love?
To fantasize about the love of an emperor is like a moth flying into a flame.

Chu Liuzheng was not interested in being that moth.

She couldn't figure out Xiao Jingfan's purpose. Seeing that Zhou Yuande looked kind and easy to talk to, she asked directly, "Eunuch Zhou, why did His Majesty suddenly reward me?"

Zhou Yuande didn't answer, but just gave Chu Liuzheng a subtle look that said "you know what I mean".

Chu Liuzheng: “…”

What on earth does she know?!
Until Zhou Yuande left Chu Liuzheng, he never asked why.

She was so depressed that even Moxiang could see it.

Moxiang sat down beside the bed and touched her forehead. "You don't have a fever, so why are you so listless?"

Chu Liuzheng felt nervous and didn't want to talk.

Moxiang asked curiously, "Others are so happy when they get their rewards, why are you not happy?" "I'm not unhappy." Chu Liuzheng frowned. He couldn't figure it out himself, and he couldn't find it in the system, so he decided to ask Moxiang for advice.

"Sister, why did His Majesty suddenly reward me? I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but these unreasonable rewards make me feel uneasy."

[I always feel like there is a knife on my neck, ready to cut me at any time.]

Moxiang thought Chu Liuzheng was just worried about gains and losses, so she reached out and touched her head soothingly: "Being too worried is not conducive to healing. You don't have to worry too much, just let it go."

Although she didn't know what His Majesty saw in Chu Liuzheng, no matter whether the emperor liked him or disliked him, little palace maids like them, who were of low status, had no right to refuse. The only thing they could do was to relax.

Chu Liuzheng hid his chin in the quilt, revealing only his watery almond eyes. "Sister, do you understand my concerns?"

Moxiang nodded.

Isn't it just that His Majesty's attitude is ambiguous and he hasn't made a decision yet? What's there to not understand?
She felt that after what happened to Zhu Jixiang, Chu Liuzheng might feel wronged and began to get anxious.

She thought for a moment and advised, "You can't embroider a peony in a hurry. The most important thing for you now is to recover from your injury. You can think about other things later."

She estimated that after Chu Liuzheng recovered from his injury, His Majesty would have made a decision.

Chu Liuzheng really thought that Moxiang understood her worries, and felt somewhat comforted after hearing what Moxiang said.

[Yes, the tyrant's attitude now is to let me recover from my injuries. When I recover from my injuries, I will naturally know what the tyrant wants to do.]

[Can I resist the tyrant's orders? I can't do that for the sake of my nine clans. It's really useless to think too much.]

After some self-persuasion, Chu Liuzheng really let the matter go. She decided to read some gossip to comfort her frightened heart.

Seeing Chu Liuzheng closing her eyes, Moxiang thought she was sleepy, so she tucked the quilt in for her, then stood up and sat on the small stool to continue embroidering the purse.

There was a slight crackling sound coming from the brazier, and the room was so quiet that one could hear the sound of Moxiang threading the needle.

The dozing Chu Liuzheng turned into a civet jumping up and down in the melon field, picking up the system to eat the melon.

[Hmm? The tyrant arranged for the Royal Guards to investigate the Xixia envoys. Did they find something wrong? As expected of a career-oriented tyrant, he reacted quickly.]

[These people have caused quite a few chaos. Tsk tsk, Sir Xie is so generous that he burned down the posthouse without blinking an eye. Sir Xie, aren't you afraid that the tyrant will make you pay for it? ]

Chu Liuzheng would definitely not dare to burn it.

There is no other reason. I can’t afford to pay for it.

[Oh, the childhood friend is really good at seizing opportunities. He took advantage of the fire in the inn and used his bone shrinking skill to disguise himself as a maid and escape.]

[Hmm? The real princess also escaped during the chaos. ]

[Frog fun! These two met! They actually know each other? ? ]

[Eh? The pair of curved fish of Neptune and Little White Lotus eloped. One of them was beaten with a stick, and the other was whipped, but their injuries healed pretty quickly... Shit! These four met! in the City God Temple!]

Chu Liuzheng rubbed his hands excitedly in his heart, and pulled down with great anticipation!

【WTF? ? 】

She stared at the four words in surprise.

[Why is Princess Mingxia here too? ]

[Ah, this... one is a monk with broad shoulders, long legs, and six-pack abs, and the other is a charming and pitiful nun? ]

[Candle? Small whip? ? ?]

[Hiss——Role playing, the princess is as good at it as ever. 】

Chu Liuzheng silently gave a thumbs-up and suddenly thought of a fatal question.

[Princess Mingxia met the fake princess of Goryeo at the birthday banquet, and just now her childhood friend called the real princess "Princess" several times... Danger, the real and fake princesses must be finished! ]

On the first day of 2025, I wish you all a happy New Year! In the new year, I wish you peace, joy, wealth, love, and good luck. I wish you will never be short of literature~
