Chapter 14 Who is that?
It has been said that anyone who can get along in the officialdom, no matter how they look on the outside, is a human being on the inside.
Although Empress Zhong ordered it to be kept secret, the news of Xin Bin's death still secretly reached the ears of some people.
Concubine Xin died, and immediately after that, the Li and Lu families were wiped out, which might involve some scandal in the Tian family.
Gradually, the ministers fell silent one by one.
Not to say completely silent, but definitely quiet.
Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and finally all looked at the emperor.
It was really a good show for him.
Xiao Jingfan was in a good mood, supporting his head with one hand, and glanced lazily at Zhou Yuande with his narrow eyes.
Zhou Yuande immediately stepped forward and said in a loud voice: "If there is something to do, we will start, and if there is nothing, we will retreat."
"I have this memorial." Academician Zhang came out with a wat tablet in his hand, "Regarding the matter of Yan Yin, I..."

Chu Liuzheng had just returned from Tai Hospital when they were discussing the new regulations on salt and iron sales in the court.
She got up early and went to check on Xia Qiaoru.
Xu was greeted by someone from Huaqing Palace, and the eunuch in charge of the pharmacy allowed Xia Qiaoru to recover from her injuries before going to work in the pharmacy.
Now Xia Qiaoru rests in bed every day. Xiao Xiazi helps her bring food and hot water, so she doesn't have to work, and her injuries are recovering well.
Aunt Qian did ask for supplements to be sent over. Although it wasn't much, it was better than nothing.
Chu Liuzheng was worried that Xia Qiaoru would ask someone to sell her things and send the money back home to supplement her income. He specifically advised her to eat and drink, and that taking good care of her body was the most important thing.
Xia Qiaoru was reluctant to eat, but couldn't resist Chu Liuzheng, so she had no choice but to agree.
Chu Liuzheng was thinking about ways to get some good wound medicine. Although Xia Qiaoru said she didn't mind leaving scars, Chu Liuzheng knew she would mind in her heart.
Even if it's not for others, it's also for yourself to feel comfortable, right?
With something on her mind, Chu Liuzheng was a little absent-minded when boiling water. She accidentally burned her hand with the stove. The back of her hand immediately turned red and two blisters appeared on her jade-white skin. Look. It's very scary.
"Hiss——"
Soaking his hand in cold water, Chu Liuzheng frowned in pain.
Cuiyun looked worriedly, "Sister, how can you serve tea to His Majesty for a while like this?"
"Aren't you here?" Chu Liuzheng tilted his head to look at her, "I'll tell Eunuch Zhou later and ask Sister Moxiang to take over for me for two days. Sister Moxiang is an old man serving in front of the emperor, so you can just follow her with peace of mind. Yes.”
Mo Xiang was also the tea serving maid in front of the emperor. When Chu Liuzheng was first transferred to the emperor to serve, she even took Chu Liuzheng under his wing for a while.
After Chu Liuzheng was able to take charge of his own role, he was separated and led new people together with Mo Xiang.
There are four tea-serving maids in front of the emperor, divided into two groups, alternating between day and night.
Emperor Shunguang was diligent in government affairs, and when he stayed up late at night to approve the book, someone had to bring tea and water.
The maids serving in front of the emperor changed very quickly. Some of the reasons were that the superior was in a bad mood and took it out on the maid, but more often than not, the maid had the idea of climbing up. Can't keep it.
If you think about it carefully, Chu Liuzheng can also understand the thoughts of those palace ladies who want to climb up.
When people go to higher places, water flows to lower places.
It is said that power is the best aphrodisiac, but the emperor stands at the top of power, seizing power with the palm of his hand, how can he not attract people to pounce on him?
What's more, the tyrant looks like a monster. He is only twenty-three years old. Compared with those old emperors, his attraction to the little girl is infinitely higher. I don't know how many times it has increased.
Since he came to serve at the imperial court, Chu Liuzheng has adhered to the principle of giving appropriate advice, never interfering, and respecting the fate of others 100%.
This is true for Jiang Wantang, and it is also true for Cuiyun now. Zhou Yuande learned that Chu Liuzheng injured his hand and rushed to the tea room in person. Looking at the back of her hand that was still red after applying the medicine, I felt so distressed that it felt real.
Chu Liuzheng felt confused and hid his hand back, feeling a little wary.
——Does this guy like her and want to have sex with her?
There are many maids and eunuchs who are secretly looking for food in the palace. Because of the loneliness in the palace, they all want to be companions.
But Chu Liuzheng had no idea about this at all.
She can keep the system company, eat melon every day, and not be lonely at all!
"Eunuch Zhou, my hand is injured. If I serve tea in front of His Majesty, I might hurt His Majesty's eyes." Chu Liuzheng smiled with a smile on his lips and said politely, "I asked Sister Moxiang to do it for me. Today, I will come back to serve Your Majesty after the injury on my hand heals.”
"The girl hurt her hand, she should have a good time." Zhou Yuande turned to his apprentice and said, "Xiao Anzi, go to my room to get the Bihen cream that His Majesty rewarded and put it on the girl."
——His Majesty values this person so much now that he takes it with him wherever he goes. If these jade hands are scarred, His Majesty will probably skin him!
"No, Bihen Cream is so expensive, how can I, a little palace maid, be worthy of it?" Chu Liuzheng quickly refused.
——Is Mr. Zhou’s medicine so easy to get?
——Although she wanted to get some good ointment for Qiaoru, she had no intention of compensating herself.
"They are all your Majesty's servants. Why are you so polite to me, girl?" Zhou Yuande did not allow Chu Liuzheng to refuse, and was determined to cure the burn on Chu Liuzheng's hand as soon as possible.
——If His Majesty wants someone for him and he doesn't give an explanation, how can he get any good fruit?
Chu Liuzheng couldn't resist, so she had to accept it, secretly thinking about finding an opportunity to return the favor quickly, but she couldn't let this guy use the favor to manipulate her.

Returning to Nongyunyuan worriedly, Chu Liuzheng mentioned it to Mo Xiang, and Mo Xiang agreed.
"Thank you so much, sister." Chu Liuzheng took off the silver hairpin from his head and inserted it into Mo Xiang's bun. He smiled with his eyes bent, "Sister, this hairpin really matches, so this is my thank you gift to my sister."
"You!" Moxiang raised her finger and pointed at Chu Liuzheng's smooth forehead, "You are always so polite and you don't owe anyone."
Chu Liuzheng smiled: "Thanks to my sister's teaching, I owe you a lot. It's because my sister is kind-hearted and doesn't care about me."
"You're the only one with a sweet mouth." Mo Xiang took a closer look at the injuries on the back of Chu Liuzheng's hands and frowned, "Such beautiful hands must be well taken care of. Scars will not be good. Don't worry about serving the emperor. , everything is with me.”
"I'll feel relieved if I leave it to my sister."

In the Wenhua Hall, Emperor Shunguang felt that his ears were a little quiet today.
It was so quiet that he wasn't used to it.
He raised his eyes and looked around, but didn't see that familiar figure.
Put down the brush, tap it on the desk with two fingers, and spit out one word from your thin lips: "Tea."
Zhou Yuande immediately shouted outside the palace: "Change the tea!"
Cuiyun walked in with a mahogany tray, respectfully placed the tea cup in Xiao Jingfan's hand, and glanced at him with a shy look, her eyes as silk as silk.
Xiao Jingfan frowned, who is this?
Poor Cuiyun has been working in front of the emperor for two days, but his face has not even been remembered by Emperor Shunguang.
"Then..." Xiao Jingfan wanted to ask Chu Liuzheng where he had gone, but as soon as he started talking, he suddenly realized that he couldn't remember the woman's name.
What is it called?
"Zhou Yuande." Emperor Shunguang decided not to embarrass himself and called his eunuch.
Zhou Yuande bowed and said: "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"
Pointing at the tea cup, Xiao Jingfan asked: "Who is that?"
Which who?
Zhou Yuande glanced at the tea cup and understood instantly.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Miss Liuzheng accidentally burned her hand on the stove when she was boiling mountain spring water. She was afraid of hurting your Majesty's eyes, so we asked Miss Moxiang to take over. Now she is resting in Nongyunyuan."
