Chapter 59: You Can’t Live a Frustrated Life, You Can’t Die a Frustrated Life

Is this putting her in solitary confinement?

Concubine Rong widened her beautiful eyes, as if she wanted to stare a hole in Xiao Jingfan's back.

For a vixen who is not presentable enough, His Majesty actually wants to lock her up?

Isn't this like stepping on her face?

"I won't see my sister off." Empress Zhong, who was watching the show, smiled faintly. "Qiu Sui, take Concubine Rong out."

"Yes." Qiu Sui stepped forward and bowed to Concubine Rong, "Your Highness, please come in."

Seeing that Xiao Jingfan really had no intention of turning around to look at her, Concubine Rong almost tore the handkerchief in her hand, but she had to bow aggrievedly and said, "I'll take my leave."

He turned around and left angrily.

"Your Majesty, this girl's hand is seriously injured. I'm afraid she won't be able to serve you in the next few days."

Empress Zhong sat down beside the bed and caressed Chu Liuzheng's hair lovingly. "My palace is quiet, and this girl and I get along well. Let her recuperate in Changchun Palace. The medical consultation and medicine are cheap."

[No, I want to go back to Nongyun Garden! ]

Xiao Jingfan glanced at Chu Liuzheng who had his head down and refused on her behalf.

"You are still pregnant, and the imperial physician said you need to rest and recuperate. The comings and goings of the palace maids will inevitably disturb your peace. Let her go back to Nongyun Garden to recuperate."

"That's fine." Empress Zhong didn't insist, and instead said, "There's a maid in my palace named Linlang who's quite good at making tea and is quite clever. Why don't you let her serve before the Emperor first? Once her hand has healed and she's able to take up her duties, I'll let Linlang come back."

"No need." Xiao Jingfan turned the bodhi beads in his hand, "Just transfer another one from the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Nongyun Garden.

Caiyue helped Chu Liuzheng lie down on the bed and spread the quilt over her.

"Eunuch Xia and Miss Qiaoru have already been here. My sister hasn't come back yet, so I asked them to go back first and come back later."

"Sister, lie down for a while. If you need water or the toilet, just tell me. I... cough, cough, cough!" Caiyue turned her head and coughed a few times. She waited until the itching in her throat subsided before turning her head back. "Just tell me. I'll go boil your medicine first."

As she spoke, she picked up the medicine on the table and was about to leave. Chu Liuzheng stopped her, "Wait, help me report to Changchun Palace. I haven't thanked you yet. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to come back."

"When I was sick and confused, it was my sister who took care of me wholeheartedly. I'm just repaying her once." Caiyue smiled, with a hint of meaning in her smile. "My sister is different from me. She is a blessed person."

"What blessing..." Before Chu Liuzheng finished asking, Caiyue had already pushed the door open and walked out with the medicine in her hand.

The door slammed shut.

Chu Liuzheng blinked, turned his head and stared at the bed curtain above him in a daze.

I'm actually still alive. After causing such a scene in Huaqing Palace, I'm not only not punished, but I'm also still alive and well.

Being in a familiar place, Chu Liuzheng finally felt a sense of reality for today's thrilling event, and began to feel scared.

She moved her head.

This thing almost didn't grow on her.

She almost didn't get to see her family for the last time.

She smacked her lips and couldn't help but laugh in her heart.

【Hey, I'm so lucky. 】

Following a powerful boss is still somewhat useful; he can protect a small fry like me at a critical moment.

If I were a confidant like Eunuch Zhou, that damned eunuch Zhang Baorong would definitely not dare to treat me like he did today.

[I've decided. Before leaving the palace, I will work hard to become the tyrant's confidant and increase my chances of survival!]

Chu Liuzheng raised his two paws and took a look.

This guy is wrapped up like a bun, making it difficult for him to go to the toilet.

[Such a large burn should leave scars, right?]

Chu Liuzheng gently bent his finger, pulling the wound, and immediately gasped in pain.

[Alas! Actually, I quite like my hands, but for now, I'm lucky to be able to keep them. Be content with what you have, and don't ask for too much.]

“Knock, knock, knock.”

There was a knock on the door.

Chu Liuzheng was not in a position to stand up, so he just said, "The door is not locked."

With a creaky sound, the door was pushed open and Moxiang walked in carrying a food box.

"Sister Moxiang, please sit down." Chu Liuzheng smiled, "I'm sorry I can't get up to entertain you."

"Just lie down and rest. You're hurt but still worrying about me." Moxiang glanced at her helplessly. Seeing her hands wrapped like dumplings, her eyes turned red and tears rolled down her cheeks.

She quickly turned around and raised her hand to wipe it away, then placed the food box on the table. "Caiyue has to take care of you, so she definitely won't have time to eat. I'll bring it back to you after I finish eating."

"Don't you like meat buns? We have them today. They have thin skin and big fillings. I'm sure you'll like them."

Moxiang took out the hot meat buns and said, "I've eaten them. They don't contain any spicy food that would be bad for wounds. Eat them while they're hot."

She used a handkerchief to hold the bun, pinched it and fed it to Chu Liuzheng's lips.

"Thank you, sister." Chu Liuzheng didn't act pretentiously and took a bite.

There wasn't much juice in it, but the skin was thin and the filling was large. You could see the meat by biting through the skin. It wasn't like the ones usually made in the palace, but it was the kind of meat bun Chu Liuzheng had in mind.

She was eating happily. Seeing her happy look, Moxiang couldn't help but raised her hand and poked her forehead.

"When I heard the news, I almost fainted. How could you be so bold? That's Huaqing Palace, a place where people don't even dare to speak loudly. How could you dare to make a scene?"

Chu Liuzheng swallowed the bun in his mouth. "At that time, I didn't care to think too much. I just thought that it was just death. After all, I came to this world. I can't live and die in frustration."

Moxiang: “…”

She rolled her eyes in annoyance: "Why didn't I see that you had this temper in the past?"

"This is just a desperate dog jumping over the wall." Chu Liuzheng spoke vaguely, holding a bun in his mouth. "Even a rabbit bites when it's cornered."

Moxiang didn't want to talk to her anymore and focused on feeding her buns. Thinking it was inconvenient for her to go to the toilet, she didn't give her too much water to avoid the hassle.

"Just lie down and I'll take the buns to Caiyue. They'll be cold soon."

"Thank you, sister." Chu Liuzheng curled his eyes, "When I get better, I'll treat you to some wine."

Moxiang reluctantly tucked the quilt in for her, "My dear aunt, can I call you sister? My hand hasn't healed yet, so I'm thinking about drinking first. Please be quiet for a while."

Chu Liuzheng grinned. Moxiang didn't talk to her any more and went to deliver buns to Caiyue.

Chu Liuzheng couldn't sleep, and lying there was no point in doing so, so she simply opened the system and watched some melons.

Emperor Shunguang wanted to eat steamed buns, so Chief Eunuch Zhou ordered the Imperial Kitchen to make thirty baskets of large meat buns and send some to each palace.

[So I was able to eat the big meat buns thanks to the Tyrant. Pah! At least protect me for once. From now on, stop calling me Tyrant and call me Boss.]

Zhang Baorong's hands and feet were scalded by the boiling water, leaving the skin all torn apart. He fainted from the pain and is now feared to be disabled.

[You deserve it! Damn eunuch, we're now enemies. Don't let me get you into trouble again!]

Xie Jieyu went to the Empress Dowager's palace and cried, saying she had seen a cat demon and that someone was pretending to be a ghost and trying to scare her. She asked the Empress Dowager to take action on her behalf.

[This is quite hypocritical. You even frightened the Prince of Humanity so much that he became ill. Who can you call for justice?]

[The Princess of Shun County died suddenly from excessive grief.]

Chu Liuzheng glanced at it, then read the two pieces of gossip below before reacting a little late.

[Wait a minute! Who died suddenly? ]
