Chapter 212 The Immortal Entered My Dream

[Butterfly is such a playboy, having won the hearts of so many young ladies. He must have many ways to seduce people. Plus, those charming peach blossom eyes, if he really tried to seduce the tyrant... eh~ that would be exciting! Maybe a fight would break out!]

Xiao Jingfan: "..."

With a gloomy face, he slowly and heavily wrote a big word "忍" on the paper, full of murderous intent.

Zhou Yuande was serving pen and ink nearby, his eyelids twitching as he watched.

I don’t know which unlucky guy it is!

Chu·Unlucky Guy·Liu Zheng was just talking nonsense. After all, he had read too many different things and he got off track without paying attention.

She thought about it carefully for a moment.

[Tsk tsk, compared to the butterfly, the tyrant is more likely to fall for the innocent princess. One is full of tricks, the other is kind and innocent, and their looks match, they are quite a match.]

Xiao Jingfan: "..."

According to this woman, wouldn't a fool be more suitable for him?

What does this woman think of him as the emperor?

He scowled and pressed the brush down hard, almost poking a hole in the paper.

Zhou Yuande opened his mouth and wanted to go forward to change the paper, but looking at Xiao Jingfan's gloomy and cold face, he didn't dare to reach out.

Let it be.

Chu Liuzheng had no idea that he had already made a certain tyrant so angry that smoke was about to come out of his head, and he was still sighing in his heart.

A sincere and kindhearted girl like the naive princess should be paired with an equally sincere and kindhearted childhood friend. Pairing her with a tyrant just doesn't make it seem right. Alas! This star-crossed couple, their lack of destiny is the most heartbreaking.

Chu Liuzheng actually wanted to have a sweet love, but unfortunately things in the world are not always as expected.

She collected herself and continued reading other gossip.

[Oh my, the Dali Temple has actually started investigating the Loyalty and Bravery Marquis Mansion. Were they stuck on the progress before? Why are they suddenly investigating the Loyalty and Brave Marquis Mansion?]

[Oh, it was Master Xie who suggested this. Master Xie is quite perceptive.]

[Ah, the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery couldn't keep her composure. Her mental state isn't good enough. She's exposed right in front of the Supreme Court. If not you, who else should I investigate? Maybe this time, a blind cat will actually catch a dead mouse.]

[The next piece of information is... The Director of the Imperial Observatory is reporting to Emperor Shunguang: A purple aura descended from the sky last night, enveloping the Imperial Palace. There is a fear of unusual incidents. Emperor Shunguang, please be mindful.]

Chu Liuzheng blinked and turned to look out the window.

This dog-loving old man is becoming increasingly mystical. He doesn't have a third eye, so how can there be any auspicious aura? It's clearly just water vapor.

She was just about to cross it when an idea suddenly occurred to her.

[Wait! Something strange happened! Isn't this a ready-made excuse? I can use this as an excuse to say that a deity appeared in my dream!]

Ahhhhhhh!! Thank you, dog lover, for being so understanding! I will never call you a weirdo again!

Xiao Jingfan, who was so angry that he wrote several huge characters "忍" in a row, paused with his pen and quickly wrote the character "笨".

He threw the brush away, rested his hands on the table, leaned over and stared at the word "stupid" expressionlessly.

It was clearly his plan, and the woman understood it. Things were developing in the direction he guided, but why couldn't he be happy at all?

After the excitement, Chu Liuzheng was a little unhappy. Having a ready-made excuse was good, but...

[How could the tyrant believe such supernatural things? As a little old man with real talent and knowledge, the tyrant could turn a blind eye to his occasional metaphysical quibbles, but I'm just full of nonsense.]

If I suddenly go over and tell him this, even if I don't lose my life, given the tyrant's suspicion, he'll definitely search me from head to toe, maybe even skin me alive...

Thinking of that possibility, Chu Liuzheng shuddered violently and reached out to wrap the quilt tighter.

[As the saying goes, the first bird to stick its head out gets shot. I'd better wait a little longer. If something unusual really happens, I'll follow the crowd.]

Xiao Jingfan: "..."

He knew that this woman was afraid of death, fortunately he had made arrangements in advance.

*

At noon, the drizzle was still falling, occasionally with two small snowflakes.

Unlike the quietness in the morning, the house is very lively now.

Chen Xing sat next to Chu Liuzheng, and told everyone in a crisp voice about the reward he had received, his tone quite excited.

"I dreamed last night of an old immortal with a white beard. He said that I would receive His Majesty's grace today, and I woke up in such a good mood."

"Then you told me that I didn't believe you and you were unhappy. But His Majesty really gave you a Hu brush this morning. The old white-bearded immortal's words came true." Miyue finished his words and put some food in her bowl. "Okay, that's all. Hurry and eat. If you don't eat now, the food will get cold."

Chen Xing: “…”

She stared at the food in her bowl, poked it with her chopsticks, and said dissatisfiedly, "Sister, why are you like this? You made a good story dry and boring."

"Yes, yes, I'm being dry." Mitsuki didn't tolerate her at all and rolled his eyes at her. "If you don't eat now, the food will get cold and dry."

Chen Xing pouted and buried his head in eating.

Chu Liuzheng glanced at her sideways.

[Chen Xing is a secret guard, not an ordinary palace maid. She openly discusses such strange and supernatural things. Is she doing this at the behest of the tyrant or is she really dreaming?]

Xiao Jingfan, who was also having lunch, almost choked on his soup when he heard the words.

This woman is too smart in places where she shouldn't be smart.

Chu Liuzheng looked through the system, but didn't find any related gossip in a short time. Instead, he found some people who also said that they had dreamed of the old immortal. The contents of the dreams were varied, and all of them came true.

She was secretly amazed: [Frog fun! Could it be that the old man really has opened his third eye?]

[So many people have dreamed about it, so can I also tell it? ]

She was eating and thinking. Chen Xing, who had already quickly finished half a bowl, became active again and said to Mi Yue, "Sister, please tell us about your dream. It's very effective."

As soon as these words were spoken, Moxiang and Yuzhui both looked at Miyue, with curiosity flashing in their eyes.

Chu Liuzheng also looked up at her.

Siyue wasn't as lively as Chenxing. Seeing everyone looking at her, she smiled helplessly, "I don't remember clearly, but I remember a kind voice in my dream reminding me not to stand under the tree today, otherwise there would be a bloody disaster."

Yuzhui couldn't wait to ask: "And then?"

Mitsuki said, "This morning I came back to get something. When I passed by the magnolia tree in the yard, I thought about what I had said in my dream and deliberately walked outside. Unexpectedly, a thick branch suddenly fell down and landed at my feet. It was as thick as an arm. If it had hit my head, it would have been terrible.

If I hadn't had that dream last night, I would have passed by the tree just like I did a few days ago, and the bloody disaster would have come true."

She spoke with relief in her tone, and she clasped her hands together and bowed towards the sky, but no one knew which god she was praying to.

"Why didn't I dream about it?" Yuzhui poked the rice in his bowl with envy on his face. "I heard from Eunuch Zhou that His Majesty also dreamed of an immortal last night and played chess with him."

Chu Liuzheng opened his eyes slightly wide. No way, the tyrant also had a dream?!

She asked, "Did Eunuch Zhou really tell you that?"

Yu Zhui shook her head: "He didn't tell me, but Eunuch Zhou was talking to Xiao Anzi, and I happened to hear it when I went to serve tea."

So that's how it is.

But Chu Liuzheng still felt something was wrong. Just as he was about to look through the system carefully again, someone suddenly hugged his arm.

Chen Xing's eyes curved slightly, and he asked with great interest, "Sister Liu Zheng, did you dream of an immortal last night?"
