Chapter 365 Get Out

[Isn't there still Eunuch Zhou? I'm not idle either.]

Chu Liuzheng curled his lips in his heart, but admitted his mistake obediently.

As long as we don't break the window paper, everything will be fine... Before this thought could finish, Xiao Jingfan said, "Why were you being so stubborn with me in the kitchen just now? Are you being spoiled and becoming arrogant?"

Chu Liuzheng:! ?

What are you so proud of?

What kind of pampering and arrogance?

Don’t talk nonsense!!!

Seeing her silence, Xiao Jingfan frowned, his tone and expression darkening as he saw the tension in her hair. "Speak!"

【What the hell! You don't want to hear the truth.】

Chu Liuzheng was exhausted, feeling like she would be stabbed if she stuck her head out, or if she ducked. Just as she was struggling to decide which knife would hurt less, she heard someone ask, "You really don't want to?"

Those five nonsensical words made Chu Liuzheng shudder with fear, and his soul left his body.

I seemed to hear the sound of window paper breaking, and I was so scared that goose bumps immediately appeared on my arms.

Sure enough, some things cannot be avoided by just hiding.

But what does it mean to really not want to?

Is she still unwilling to live?

She was puzzled, but the knife hanging over her head was finally cut off. After the panic, she actually felt a sense of relief.

Now that the window paper is broken, there is no point in pretending to be stupid.

Well, mainly because I can’t fool people.

Chu Liuzheng pinched his palm hard, stood up and knelt.

This action doesn't seem to be willing.

Xiao Jingfan's face had completely turned cold. He intuitively felt that Chu Liuzheng was about to say something irritating again, and not just in his heart.

"I am a humble servant, a humble servant, with neither the beauty of Diao Chan nor the talent of Zuo Fen. If I were to serve in your majesty's chamber, I would be afraid that it would tarnish your majesty's ability to judge people. I truly do not deserve your majesty's kindness."

Chu Liuzheng held his breath and tried his best not to stutter out of nervousness.

"I only ask to serve Your Majesty with all my heart and soul, and to obey the palace rules. When I reach the age permitted by the palace rules, I will be allowed to return to my hometown. I have no other wishes. I beg Your Majesty to grant me this."

She leaned forward and touched the ground with her forehead, her posture submissive.

Zhou Yuande, who was guarding the door, heard no movement from inside the house. Puzzled, he put his ear to the door and listened, but still there was no sound.

He couldn't help but wonder in his heart, did it work or not?

At this moment, a servant came over with hot water. Zhou Yuande felt that the situation in the house did not require hot water for the time being, so he waved at them and ordered, "Send it to the bathroom first."

The bathroom in the main courtyard was located in the west wing, and the servants carried the hot water in as instructed.

Chen Xing came over, tilted his head to glance at the closed door, and leaned over to ask Eunuch Zhou in a low voice, "Are the Lord and Sister Liu Zheng in there?"

Zhou Yuande nodded and gave her a look that told her to go somewhere cooler and not to disturb her.

Chen Xing pouted and ran to find Si Yue to see if the woman named Hongying had given in.

The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Chu Liuzheng kept bowing his head, reliving the oppressive feeling he felt when he first met the emperor.

No, it's even worse than then.

She wouldn't be surprised even if she heard Xiao Jingfan ordering someone to drag her away and execute her the next second.

Emperors are creatures that always prosper those who obey them and perish those who disobey them. To have someone like you is a blessing earned in eight lifetimes. Not rushing to serve you is disrespectful, and daring to refuse is ungrateful. If you encounter a tyrant, it could even bring disaster upon your family.

Thinking of his possible ending, Chu Liuzheng felt a little breathless.

[Alas! This is probably the end of my life. With the tyrant's stubborn temper, how could he accept being rejected by a little palace maid? I hope the tyrant will consider my past dedication to serving him and give me a quick death.]

She lamented in her heart, thinking with a smile.

[At least the tyrant is not a tyrant, so he shouldn't bring disaster to his family.]

[Rounding off, Xiancheng can be considered my hometown. Being buried here can be considered a return to one's hometown. I hope I can be reborn into a good family in my next life.]

Thinking of being born into a good family, Chu Liuzheng suddenly had an idea and immediately made a pious wish in his heart.

Deities and Immortals, I have lived like a slave for two lifetimes. No matter how hard, tiring, or difficult it was, I never complained about the heavens, the earth, or my parents. Although I haven't always done good deeds, I have never done anything that would harm others. I only ask to exchange the remaining years of my life for the chance to be born in Rome in my next life, and to enjoy a life of wealth and prosperity! I pray that this be granted!

She kowtowed in her heart, much more devoutly than when she kowtowed to Xiao Jingfan.

Xiao Jingfan, who was angry, suddenly had his pupils shrink when he heard this and stared at the back of Chu Liuzheng's round head.

He has lived two lives!

No wonder this woman has such a magical item as the system.

He had never believed in reincarnation before, but now he couldn't help but wonder if there was too much water in Meng Po's soup.

Chu Liuzheng had no idea how much her inner voice had shaken Xiao Jingfan, even changing his worldview. She earnestly made the same wish three times in her heart, making sure the gods wouldn't miss her, and then she began to wait for death peacefully.

But unexpectedly, he only heard three angry words, "Get out!"

[Okay!]

Chu Liuzheng didn't even dare to raise his head and ran out of the door as fast as he could, fearing that Xiao Jingfan would go back on his word.

She doesn't want to die even if she can live, and she wants to live one day at a time!

"Bang!"

The sound of the door closing startled Zhou Yuande. He looked closely and saw Chu Liuzheng jumping out like a rabbit with its tail burned.

"You--" He tried to see something with his sharp eyes, but Chu Liuzheng didn't bother to pay attention to him. He held up his skirt and ran back to the east wing in one breath. He closed the door with his backhand, slid down the door panel with his body exhausted, and sat on the ground gasping for breath.

Survived the disaster, survived the disaster.

My heart is beating wildly.

She stared blankly ahead, then suddenly remembered something. She quickly clasped her hands together and prayed devoutly, "Gods and goddesses, I'm not in a hurry to reincarnate. I'm taking back my wish. Please don't blame me!"

Just like when making a wish, she recited it three times in a row and bowed in all directions.

After the worship, she collapsed again.

It was a good thing that she saved her life, but she couldn't be happy.

As the saying goes, you can escape the death penalty but you cannot escape the living punishment. The emperor was so angry that it was unknown how he would punish her.

Chu Liuzheng managed to scare himself awake after replaying all the torturous punishments he had endured in the palace. He patted his chest and muttered to himself, "I'll eventually get over the punishment. At least I don't have to enter the harem. That's a good thing, a good thing. Don't be afraid."

After sitting on the ground for an unknown amount of time, Chu Liuzheng finally regained some strength.

She got up by holding onto the door, washed her face and combed her hair again, and wanted to change out of the dress that was stained with the smell of cooking smoke. But when she opened the box where she put her clothes, she was stunned.

The styles of clothes outside the palace are naturally different from those inside. These clothes were bought for her by Xiao Jingfan at the order of Zhou Yuande after she left the palace. Although they were all ready-made clothes and could not fit as well as tailor-made ones, they were all made of good materials and each piece was very presentable.

At that time, she just thought the boss was a good person and didn't think much about it, but now she can't bear to look at it.

[Chu Liuzheng, how could you be so stupid! ]

She raised her hand and slapped her forehead hard, staring at the box of clothes for a while calmly, and took out the clothes at the bottom of the box to change into.

She was reluctant to wear the clothes made by her mother, and wanted to keep them for the day she left the palace. She had originally brought them with her just in case, but now she really needed them.

Thank you, Auntie!
