Chapter 156 The Turtle in the Wishing Well
In the Wenhua Palace, Xiao Jingfan, who was reviewing memorials, suddenly sneezed, which frightened Eunuch Zhou so much that he ordered someone to call the imperial physician.
Xiao Jingfan waved his hand to stop him, picked up the red date and longan tea and took a sip. He was about to continue reviewing the memorials when he suddenly remembered that someone had caught a cold, so he asked, "Is her cold better?"
Zhou Yuande didn't even pause as he replied, "I've asked Imperial Physician Li, and he says Miss Liu Zheng's cold has cleared up, but to prevent it from recurring, it would be best if she recuperates for a couple of days."
So don’t even think about getting someone to pretend to be a eunuch!
If this gets out, will my reputation still be good?
The chief eunuch was so worried, fearing that his Majesty would go astray in some strange way. If the Queen Mother heard about it, she would expose his crime!
Xiao Jingfan didn't have the idea of pulling Chu Liuzheng over to take charge right now. He asked again, "How's the injury on your hand?"
"Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Li says Miss Liu Zheng's injuries are healing well. Based on her current condition, she should be fully recovered by the New Year," Zhou Yuande said. "If she continues to apply Snow Skin Cream and Blue Scar Cream daily, she'll be back to normal within a month."
Xiao Jingfan nodded, quite satisfied with the result.
Zhou Yuande looked up at him and thought to himself, don't just nod, the injury is now healed, what are the arrangements?
Still working as a tea-serving palace maid?
At least she should be given the title of Cai Nu, Xuan Shi or Bao Lin, otherwise it would be a waste of effort, right?
The eunuch was anxious, but Xiao Jingfan didn't notice his anxiety at all. He took another sip of tea, picked up the red pen and continued to review.
As the year draws to a close, the number of memorials of greeting is twice as much as usual. Even these were submitted after being screened by Wenyuan Pavilion. They were full of nonsense, and he felt like cursing after criticizing them.
The cold wind blew in through the open window, blowing over the red plum blossoms in the vase and bringing in a refreshing plum fragrance.
Zhou Yuande glanced at the brazier and found that the fire was not as strong as before. Worried that his majesty would be cold, he hurried over and added a few pieces of charcoal.
Xiao Jingfan looked up and suddenly remembered something, and ordered, "Ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send two baskets of charcoal to Nong Yunyuan."
Given that woman's stingy nature, she would definitely not be willing to spend money on charcoal. If she caught a cold again, her return to work would have to be postponed again.
He doesn't have time to run to Nong Yunyuan again and again, so it's better if the woman doesn't get sick.

Nongyun Garden.
Chu Liuzheng had no idea that his coal delivery boy was on the way. After wiping his body, he lay back on the bed comfortably.
[Live a life of eating and waiting to die, even though I don’t have any ambitions, I’m happy!]
She calculated the time and found that Yuzhui had been gone for too long. Even if she had been talking to Eunuch Chen, it wouldn't have taken that long.
[There's nothing in this system either, so nothing should have happened.]
Chu Liuzheng was a little worried, and when he saw Moxiang pouring water back, he took a sip.
Moxiang turned her head to look at the dark sky outside the window and felt that it was going to snow again.
She stood up and said, "I'll go look for her."
Who would have thought that just as she finished speaking, there were two knocks on the closed door. Yuzhui came in with a food box in hand and asked with a smile, "Who are you looking for?"
"You're finally back." Moxiang and Chu Liuzheng both breathed a sigh of relief. Moxiang took the lunch box and took out the soup bowl while asking, "What took you so long?"
Yuzhui took out the bowls and chopsticks from the cupboard and said with a smile, "I went to find Wang Yuchu's apprentice and asked him to help us cook some delicious dishes on New Year's Eve. I went to get it in the evening. It took him a long time to agree, so it's too late now."
"Is Wang Yuchu's apprentice the one called Xiaofeng?" Moxiang asked as she took the bowl of chicken soup.
"It's him." Yuzhui wiped the chopsticks clean and said to the two of them, "He owes me a favor, and this is a good time to repay it."
Chu Liuzheng sat on the headboard and said, "Is it the time when the wrong snacks were delivered?"
Yu Zhui nodded: "That's right, if I hadn't covered up for him that day, his master would have punished him, maybe even kicked him out."
She took the bowl, brought it to the bedside, picked up a piece of chicken with chopsticks and fed it to Chu Liuzheng. As she fed him, she said, "I saw Eunuch Chen. Eunuch Chen asked me to tell you that the matter has been settled. You will receive a definite letter tomorrow. Please go there when you are free."
Chu Liuzheng nodded.
Yu Zhui asked curiously, "What do you want to do? The roads are slippery in the snow. If you want to get something, I'll make the trip for you."
Chu Liuzheng smiled and said, "I'm not going to get anything. I asked him to find out about Xiaoyue."
Yuzhui was stunned for a moment, then her brows lit up with joy: "Any news about Xiaoyue?"
Chu Liuzheng agreed to help that day. She thought that there would be news after the New Year, but she didn't expect it to be so soon.
Seeing that she was so excited that she almost spilled the soup, Moxiang came over, took the bowl, and urged her to drink the chicken soup to calm her down.
Yuzhui was so happy that she didn't know what to do and kept thanking Chu Liuzheng.
Chu Liuzheng thought that it was fortunately good news, otherwise she would be sorry for all the thanks.
Looking for Eunuch Chen is naturally a deception. How can it be so easy to find information in the quarry?
Xiao Xiazi and Xiao Yunzi came to see her yesterday, and she took the opportunity to ask Xiao Xiazi to talk to Eunuch Chen. If they could find out, that would be great. If not, just tell Yuzhui as she said, and she would take care of the rest.
Eunuch Chen knew that Chu Liuzheng was kind-hearted and had a good relationship with Yuzhui, so he would not harm her. He just thought that Chu Liuzheng wanted to make up good news to coax Yuzhui to have a good New Year, so he agreed without hesitation because he thought it was a no-brainer.
The chicken soup was still as delicious as ever. Yuzhui drank two mouthfuls happily. Perhaps because she was in a good mood, she felt that today's chicken soup was even more delicious than usual.
She looked at Chu Liuzheng and said, "You caught a cold the last time you went to the Imperial Garden. It took you so long to recover. If you had to go to the Imperial Kitchen for my sake and got sick again, I'd feel bad. Why don't I go find Eunuch Chen?"
Please don't embarrass Eunuch Chen.
Chu Liuzheng smiled and made an excuse: "Eunuch Chen has helped me a lot this year, and I want to thank him in person."
Yu Zhui couldn't do this for her, so she had to give up the idea of running errands for Chu Liuzheng.
However, Moxiang's eyes moved slightly and she glanced at Chu Liuzheng.
Chu Liuzheng looked at the jade pendant without noticing it, and opened his mouth to drink the chicken soup in the spoon.
To be honest, no matter how delicious something is, you will get sick of it if you eat too much.
But in line with the principle of "if you don't take advantage of a good opportunity, you are a fool", Chu Liuzheng never stops reading this chicken soup.
If he couldn't finish it, he would drag Moxiang and Yuzhu to eat together. If Chenxing and Siyue were there, he would also call them to join him. He would also send some to Xia Qiaoru and Xiaoxiazi from time to time, determined to take advantage of the emperor.
Otherwise, if Chu Liuzheng relied on himself, he would have vomited long ago.
The three were eating when they heard footsteps outside.
Yuzhui put down the bowl and went out to check. When he came back, he had two baskets of silver charcoal in his hands.
Chu Liuzheng choked in surprise, his eyes slightly widening: "Where did it come from?"
"It was sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, saying it was a reward from His Majesty." Yuzhui put down the two baskets of charcoal.
Chu Liuzheng was confused: "Reward who?"
Yuzhui and Moxiang looked at her together. Who else could it be besides you?
Chu Liuzheng: ???
[Frog Fun! Is the Tyrant the turtle in the wishing well? I only thought about it for a moment, how did it come true?]
She tried to find the gossip about 'Tyrant ascends to heaven in broad daylight and becomes a turtle in the wishing well' in the system, but she couldn't find it. However, she saw that there were a lot of live broadcast posts, so she clicked on them.
Take a closer look.
Wow!
