Chapter 250: Upset Stomach

This Xiao Wu guy is definitely after Yao Zhou. Oh my, interrogation, disguises, evidence... Tsk tsk, there's so much going on here. I'm afraid the Xixia people running this business won't be able to keep it going.

[Once the trading company collapses, according to the tyrant's orders, the dry goods store will also be destroyed. Does that mean my family is safe?]

Thinking of this, Chu Liuzheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

【It's all right, it's all right. 】

The voices of Chen Xing and Si Yue talking came from outside the door, getting closer and closer. She wanted to turn off the system, but suddenly she caught sight of a line of words.

[Instructor Li of the Secret Guard Battalion sighed at the moon, thinking that the palace maid serving tea might become the perfect drug tester.]

She frowned immediately.

"Drug tester" doesn't sound like a good term at first glance. It's related to the Dark Guards, and she's a tea-serving maid. Could it be that the tyrant wants a tea-serving maid to be a drug tester? Which tea-serving maid would be so unlucky?

She clicked it quickly and read on.

Stone bed, skeleton, male corpse...

The more Chu Liuzheng looked at it, the more familiar it seemed to her, as if she had experienced it before... A light bulb went off in her head, and her eyes widened in disbelief.

[Holy shit! Isn’t this the nightmare I had last night?!]

The scene she saw in the nightmare flashed back before her eyes again. She suppressed her trembling and tried hard to recall the details. As she thought about it, she felt like the sky was falling.

It’s exactly the same!

It turns out that the unlucky person is her!!

She wasn't having a nightmare at all, but was forced to spend a night in the legendary Dark Guard Camp!

Question: How does it feel to eat a melon on yourself?

Chu Liuzheng: Thanks for the invitation. I really want to die.

Why her?!

Is she finally going to be cannon fodder and never return?

"Sister Liu Zheng, what do you want for lunch today..." Chen Xing pushed the door open with a smile and saw Chu Liuzheng sitting by the window basking in the sun. Just as he was about to name the dishes, he saw a crystal-clear look on Chu Liuzheng's face.

"Why are you crying?" Chen Xing stared at her in surprise.

cry?

Chu Liuzheng subconsciously raised his hand to touch his face, and his hand was unexpectedly wet.

Tiny teardrops hung on the eyelashes, falling to the ground as the eyelids blinked, leaving behind tiny wet traces.

"Are you feeling unwell?" Siyue put the lunch box on the table, walked quickly over to hold Chu Liuzheng's hand, and took his pulse calmly, wondering if the drug he had given her last night was too strong?

"Nothing's wrong." Chu Liuzheng broke free from her hand and took out a handkerchief to wipe the tears from his face. "The sun is too bright. It will be fine after a while."

As soon as she saw Siyue, she thought of the Dark Guard Camp, of Coach Li, and of the disemboweled male corpse lying on the stone bed, and she felt sick all over.

Chen Xing set the food on the table and said, "Come and eat."

The word "disemboweled" kept spinning in Chu Liuzheng's mind, and nightmare-like scenes kept flashing back. Chu Liuzheng lost his appetite no matter how good it was.

Chen Xing put food into her bowl and told jokes intentionally to tease her.

Chu Liuzheng listened absentmindedly, unable to even muster a perfunctory smile.

Seeing her acting so abnormally, Chen Xing couldn't help but look at Si Yue. What was going on?

Mitsuki bit the tip of the chopsticks and shook his head gently, not knowing.

Chen Xing frowned, wondering if the medicine was too strong.

Mitsuki then shook his head and said no.

Chen Xing curled his lips and said, "It must be that your medicine is not working."

Siyue frowned and said that I could do it, but my medicine was not good enough.

The two of them exchanged glances, while Chu Liuzheng absentmindedly ate the rice in his bowl while opening the system.

Even if I die, I have to be clear-headed. Why did they suddenly ask me to be a drug tester? How come I didn't know I had this talent?

She picked at it carefully.

Although the system will not specifically record gossip about her, it can still reveal some information from the gossip of others.

She decided to start with Mitsuki.

"Well, I was wondering why Doctor Li's medicine works faster than sleeping pills. I was so sleepy after drinking it for a while. So, Miyue must have put a drug in my medicine."

[Carry me to the Dark Guard Camp, and then... uh, what do you mean, check if she's poisoned?]

Chu Liuzheng stared at the conversation between Siyue and Coach Li. If she understood correctly, Siyue seemed to be taking her to the Dark Guard Camp for a physical examination.

To prevent herself from taking things out of context, she continued reading.

The more I look at it, the more it feels like a physical examination.

Although the process was a bit disgusting, with bugs crawling around and stuff... Chu Liuzheng gripped his chopsticks tightly, suppressed his churning stomach, and stubbornly continued watching.

After reading two lines, she finally couldn't hold it in any longer. She covered her mouth and ran out the door, bending over and vomiting violently, tears rolling down her face.

Chen Xing and Si Yue chased out worriedly, one patted her back and the other went to get her some water for her to rinse her mouth.

Whenever Chu Liuzheng thought about the seven or eight worms that had hatched from his body and crawled out of his mouth last night, he felt so nauseous that his stomach churned and he couldn't stop vomiting.

In the end, even though I couldn't vomit anything out, I still kept vomiting.

Seeing that she looked like she was about to vomit bile, Miyue couldn't help but suspect that there was really something wrong with the drug she had prepared. She stood behind Chu Liuzheng and secretly winked at Chenxing.

Chen Xing took advantage of the moment when Chu Liuzheng paused after vomiting, stabbed him unconscious with a needle, and carried him into the house.

Siyue wrung out a handkerchief to wipe Chu Liuzheng's face, then grabbed her hand and carefully took her pulse.

Chen Xing waited patiently for a moment, but when she didn't say a word, he couldn't help but get anxious and asked, "How is it?"

Mitsuki shook his head.

Chen Xing frowned: "Is the situation bad?"

"No, everything is normal." Siyue pulled the quilt over Chu Liuzheng, his brows tightly furrowed.

"Everything was fine, how could she vomit like that?" Chen Xing was obviously unconvinced. Suddenly, he thought of something, "Didn't you say that Lao Li wanted her last night? Did he do something secretly?"

Mitsuki was also unsure, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "He probably wouldn't dare."

"Should?" Chen Xing stared at her.

Siyue pursed her lips and glanced at the sleepy Chu Liuzheng. "Let's report this to the Lord first and ask Him to make the decision."

"Okay, you stay here, I'll go now." Chen Xing turned and ran, Si Yue hurriedly called her, "Wait, the master should be having lunch now, you wait..."

Before he could finish his words, the Chenxing people had already disappeared.

Siyue shook his head, took out a handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat from Chu Liuzheng's forehead, and went out to clean up the filth that Chu Liuzheng vomited.

Wenhua Hall.

"Miss Chen Xing, why are you running in such a hurry?" Xiao Anzi was standing at the door. Seeing Chen Xing running towards him, he couldn't help but reach out to stop her.

Chen Xing paused, peeked inside, and asked quietly, "Your Majesty, have you finished your meal?"

"It's being used right now. His Royal Highness Prince Rui is here too," Xiao Anzi said. "If you have anything to say, please wait until the meal is served before reporting."

Chen Xing nodded and paced back and forth at the door anxiously.

Xiao Anzi was dizzy from being dazzled by her. He reached out and pulled her sleeve, whispering, "What's the matter that's so urgent?"

"Nothing." Chen Xing puffed out his cheeks. He really couldn't tell anyone about Chu Liuzheng's matter.

Xiao Anzi was also tactful. Seeing that she was not in a position to speak, he did not ask any more questions. He just waited with her and even went in twice to check on the situation.

"About a quarter of an hour." He came out of the hall and smiled at Chen Xing, "Miss, please be patient and wait."

"Thank you." Chen Xing nodded to him, thinking about whether to go back to Yiran Garden first to check on Chu Liuzheng's condition, what if he was already well?

Before she could even lift her foot, Zhou Yuande came out holding a whisk. He pointed at Xiao Anzi with a chubby face and said, "This monkey came in twice for no reason. I thought something was wrong, so I came out to check."

He asked Chen Xing: "Miss, is there something urgent that happened when you came here at this time?"
