Chapter 20 The body was completely hollowed out?
After everyone knelt down to say goodbye, Xiao Jingfan raised his eyes and his cold eyes fell on Xiao Yinzi.
Xiao Yinzi, who had just been able to say a few tough words in front of Chu Liuzheng, was so frightened that he trembled and wanted to bury his head in the ground.
Without Xiao Jingfan asking, Zhou Yuande carefully recounted Xiao Yinzi's confession.
Xiao Jingfan frowned.
How could that unruly palace maid who looked concavely at him be so capable of acting like a monster?
I almost harmed his magical system, it’s unforgivable!
"Together with that cheap maid, drag her out and kill her with a cane."
【Wuhu! Tyrant Shengming! 】
This word sounds good to my ears.
Xiao Jingfan's expression brightened slightly.
[Let me see how the battle between Tyrant and Chun Zhaoyi goes tonight, and whether the secret playbook is useful or not. 】
"Cough cough cough!"
Xiao Jingfan suddenly coughed violently, as if he had tuberculosis.
"Your Majesty!" Zhou Yuande patted his back and served him tea, so he was busy.
Chu Liuzheng looked away from the Bagua he had just opened and looked at the tyrant.
【What's going on? 】
[Then the battle was so fierce that the whole body was hollowed out? 】
Xiao Jingfan: "..."
I really want to pluck out this woman’s tongue!
Wait, what he heard was this woman's voice. Will pulling out her tongue help?
Realizing that tongue-pulling was useless, he became angry and tried to cover his ears to no avail. Emperor Shunguang, who was simply out of sight and out of mind, drove everyone out of the Yangxin Hall.
The palace door slammed shut behind him. Looking at the ray of golden light emerging from the sky, Chu Liuzheng yawned invisibly.
The enemy was gone, and she could go back to sleep peacefully.
"My two father-in-laws are busy first, I'm going back."
Chu Liuzheng lowered his lower body to Zhou Yuande and Wang Jinzhong, and strolled towards Nongyunyuan. You could see how relaxed and leisurely he was from his back.
The two father-in-laws, who held great power but were working hard, looked at each other and suddenly felt a little envious. How could this be such a big thing?
*
"The girl is finally back."
Xiao Xiazi stood up from the stone steps at the entrance of Nongyunyuan, ran over quickly, and looked at Chu Liuzheng with concern, "The girl's disappearance made me and Qiaoru very anxious. Fortunately, the girl is safe."
There was still dew on his clothes, so he had obviously stayed here all night.
Chu Liuzheng learned from Zhou Yuande that Xiao Xiazi discovered her disappearance first.
"Thank you very much for this time." Chu Liuzheng said, "If you hadn't discovered that I was missing, I don't know how long I would have been trapped in Zhaoxue Hall."
She briefly recounted what happened last night, and Xiao Xiazi chanted Buddha's name and sighed: "Fortunately, the girl has two respects in front of your Majesty. If it had been someone else, how could your Majesty send someone to find her in person?" < br>
Why does Xiao Xiazi think so?
Chu Liuzheng sighed and said helplessly: "You are not allowed to say such words again. We are just His Majesty's servants, how can we say it shamelessly? If someone with a heart listens to these words, will it cause trouble?"
After what happened to Cuiyun, Chu Liuzheng finally understood that some people's jealousy came out of nowhere, and she would have to be more cautious in her words and actions in this palace in the future.
"I made a mistake." Xiao Xiazi slapped her mouth, "Thank you for the tip, girl. I won't say it again in the future."
"Just remember, there are many people in the palace with mixed opinions, and one sentence can convey eight hundred meanings. Let's not suffer that loss." Chu Liuzheng smiled and led him inside.
"There is also a box of hibiscus cake in my house. You can take it back and share it with Qiaoru. Tell her that I am fine here and let her recover well and not think about me. You can also take this box of Bihen Cream to her, so that she can She remembers to use it, and I will go see her when she is free.”
The hibiscus cake was a special tribute from the imperial kitchen. Where had the palace servants who usually worked in the pharmacy ever tasted such a good snack?
Xiao Xiazi held the box and smiled happily. Before leaving, he suddenly remembered something. He dug around in his arms and took out a beaded flower strung with pearls and handed it to Chu Liuzheng: "I picked it up in the girl's house. It's the same thing." When I saw this beaded flower, I concluded that the girl did not go out on her own, but disappeared.”
The pearl flower was something Chu Liuzheng brought in from outside the palace. It was pierced by her own mother in this world. She has worn it almost every day since entering the palace and never left her body. "I thought I couldn't find it." Chu Liuzheng took it over in surprise, "Thank you very much."
"How can such a trivial matter be worthy of a word of thanks from the girl?" Xiao Xiazi scratched her head shyly, "Girl, take a good rest, I will go back to the pharmacy first."
After sending Xiao Xiazi away, Chu Liuzheng closed the door, took out the ointment from the cabinet, applied it on his wrist and the back of his hand, and then carefully wrapped it with gauze.
There was silence in the house, but the sound of fetching water and talking gradually came from outside the door.
Someone else must have gotten up.
After staying up all night, he still felt sleepy. Now he lay down on the bed, but Chu Liuzheng's sleepiness was completely gone.
She opened the system and rummaged around, and saw what she was looking for from the latest gossip.
[Xiao Yinzi, who was in charge of the warehouse of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, kidnapped the imperial maid serving tea because of a personal grudge. Emperor Shunguang ordered him to be executed with a stick. 】
[Cuiyun, the maid of the Huanyi Bureau, instigated Xiao Yinzi to violate palace discipline, and was dragged out by the execution eunuch and executed with a cane in public. 】
All dead.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Just die.
Chu Liuzheng looked at it three times for confirmation, then turned over and climbed up, finding the purse embroidered with fat koi that Cuiyun gave her.
She really likes this purse, but it's a pity that she keeps it for bad luck.
Light a corner of the purse on a candle and throw it into the brazier next to the bed.
The tongues of fire licked, and the moon-white purse was scorched black little by little under the flames, and finally turned into ashes.
Chu Liuzheng poured a cup of cold tea into the brazier, then lay on the bed again, turned on the system and rummaged around.
There is another hidden danger in this calculation.
The guard Cuiyun bribed, the gossip mentioned that his name was Yan Kang, and he was a small flag of the Yulin Guards.
The Habayashi Guards are one of the emperor's personal soldiers and are responsible for guarding the interior of the palace on a daily basis.
Although Yan Kang finally attacked her because he was afraid that he would not go to Zhao Xuetang as planned, she could not let her guard down because of this.
He can collect money from Cuiyun, but what if Baiyun and Hongyun come again in the future?
She may not always have such good luck.
She needs to get more information about this person. It is best to match the name with the person. When there is a chance to get rid of him, she will never be soft-hearted.
【Yan Kang, Yan Kang, Yulin Wei...】
[Yes, there is a flagman named Yan Kang on the left guard of Yulin. He is a bad gambler. He often goes to the Jubao Gambling House in the south of the city during his vacation. He is a frequent visitor to the gambling house. 】
[Turns out you are a gambler. My aunt, I wish you lose whatever you gamble and be unlucky for the rest of your life! 】
[But how can a gambler be selected into the Habayashi Guards? Could it be that Yan Kang’s family has some background? 】
[Look, look, oh! It turned out that Yan Kang's aunt was the concubine of Qu Tao, a member of the Ministry of War, and she was quite favored by Qu Tao. It was because of this relationship that Yan Kang entered the Yulin Guard. 】
【Um? This Qu Tao actually embezzled grain, deliberately purchased damp and moldy cheap rice and mixed it with normal rice, passing it off as substandard. 】
【I’m going! You even want to spend money to buy food for the soldiers. How shameless! 】
Chu Liuzheng was filled with indignation and continued to scroll down.
[Let’s see how much corruption there is in total... Damn it! ! There are actually 78,432 taels. Is this enough for Qu Tao to behead ten thousand times? 】
[With so much money embezzled, he will definitely not be able to conceal it by himself. He definitely has his accomplices. 】
[Fangdang, Fangdang...here! Um? It's him! 】
Chu Liuzheng stared at the name in disbelief. How could it be this person?
