Chapter 157: Eunuch's Temperament
[Why is this man dressed up as a girl, flirting with his hair? His chest hair, his hands, his legs, dancing wildly in the wind... Ugh, disgusting.]
Prince Li was quite bold indeed. In a moment of desperation, he actually ordered his attendant to dress in women's clothing and wear his hair full of pearls and jade. The attendant's face turned pale, but he was unable to resist the order.
[Prince Li was hugging... No, he wasn't tall enough. He was probably being hugged and pretending to be affectionate, and then he was caught red-handed by the Grand Tutor and the others.]
[Tsk tsk, who can be fooled by such a perfunctory disguise? ]
[At the Grand Tutor's command, the yamen runners rushed forward, and the attendants fought back. However, the women's clothing was too small, and it burst open in public. They dodged... uh, it blinded the onlookers!]
【Ah, what an unexpected disaster! 】
Chu Liuzheng silently felt sorry for these people's eyes for a second, and did not bother to worry about whether Xiao Jingfan had ascended to become a turtle in the wishing well, and hurriedly dug down.
[Wow~ Prince Li is actually arguing with the Grand Tutor. No, you should at least respect the elderly and love the young. How can you call the Grand Tutor a lecher? With a follower like that, how could the Grand Tutor be so blind as to mistake her for a woman? He's staring at her intently because he's stunned!]
[The Grand Master was almost pissed off. He said you can insult my character, but you can't insult my aesthetics. Uh... is there something wrong with that?]
Chu Liuzheng blinked, selectively ignored this small clip, and continued reading.
[Wow! Prince Li is no fool. He's pestering the Grand Tutor and making trouble just to buy time for his followers to escape. The followers are rushing out! Wow, Master Dong has caught them red-handed!]
【Wait, it ran away! 】
[Wa Qu! Chu Yuxin!! Why are you here again!! Is arresting someone something you can do? Don't drag Big Brother into this. What the hell do you two want to do?]
Chu Liuzheng roared in his heart, can these two give her some peace of mind!
Chu Yuxin, who was bravely charging ahead, suddenly sneezed. She pointed her little hand forward and said in a clear voice, "Master, it's running over there!"
The fleeing figure suddenly stumbled.
The follower turned his head and glared at Chu Yuxin fiercely.
Master Dong shouted, "Catch him!"
The yamen runners ran as fast as they could, and Chu Yuxin followed them with her slender legs.
Chu Shangming was tall and had long legs. He quickly ran a few steps and picked up his little sister. "Xin'er, be good. Let's not get involved in this."
Chu Yuxin couldn't break free, so she could only hook her finger at her brother and whisper, "There's a reward."
Chu Shangming's eyes lit up.
Chu Yuxin: "Double."
Chu Shangming's eyes lit up again.
Chu Yuxin: "One for my family and one for my sister."
Chu Shangming took a deep breath and ran as fast as he could.
Fight! !
The two of them were chasing happily while Chu Liuzheng was watching with fear and anxiety, not even caring what Moxiang and Yuzhu were saying.
I don’t know how long I waited, but I finally saw the ending.
[Oh my, this guy is really good at running. His clothes were almost gone. Finally, he was caught.]
Before she could finish her breath, she suddenly caught sight of a line of words and her gaze paused.
[Wait! Why would the Imperial Guards follow Prince Li?]
She clicked it and flipped through it, and the more she read, the tighter her frown became.
[Frog fun! The tyrant, this cunning man, has long suspected that the murderer behind the poisoned porridge case is Prince Li, and has been sending the Jinyiwei to secretly monitor him, in order to find out the power Prince Li has planted in the capital and uproot it when necessary!]
[What does it mean to be unaware of the situation? This is truly unaware of the situation! Prince Li has completely fallen into the tyrant's trap!]
What good could come of being targeted by a tyrant? Chu Liuzheng lit a row of candles for Prince Li in his heart.
"Liu Zheng?" Moxiang reached out and pinched Chu Liuzheng's face.
Chu Liuzheng turned off the system and looked up at her: "What's wrong?"
"You can get distracted even when you're sitting and talking." Moxiang looked at her helplessly, "What are you thinking about?"
Chu Liuzheng said vaguely, "I was wondering why His Majesty rewarded me with silver charcoal."
She hadn't thought about it at first, but as soon as she said it, she started to think about it seriously.
[Hey, why did the tyrant reward me with silver charcoal?]
[Last time, it could be said that the tyrant felt cold, and Xiao Anzi went to get charcoal, but he couldn't just take a few pieces, so he brought back a large basket and let her take advantage. But what about today?]
She frowned unconsciously. What else could she do today?
[Could it be that the tyrant feels guilty towards me...?]
[No, to be more precise, it's about being considerate of my subordinates. That day, I was ill and disguised as a eunuch to accompany the emperor. On the way back, I fainted in the carriage. The tyrant even asked Chen Xing to watch over me until I woke up.]
[The Tyrant, the big boss, is very clear about rewards and punishments. Maybe he suddenly thought of compensating me and gave me some charcoal as a reward?]
The more Chu Liuzheng thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case.
To her, silver-thread charcoal is precious; but in the eyes of the tyrant, silver-thread charcoal is just a small gadget for keeping warm in winter. It is not even expensive, let alone precious. He can give it to her whenever he wants.
Yuzhui's next words also confirmed this point.
"Perhaps because he thought you were still ill, His Majesty ordered the Imperial Household Department to send charcoal here so that the room would be warmer and your illness would heal faster."
What she meant was that the emperor was concerned about Chu Liuzheng's illness and was taking special care of her, treating her specially.
But when Chu Liuzheng heard it, it was automatically translated into: You can only work after you recover from your illness, and you may have to dress up as a eunuch in the future.
Suddenly, she was completely dejected.
"I've never heard of a tyrant having such a quirk! With so many maids, why not have someone dress up as a eunuch? I can't be the only one with the eunuch vibe, right?"
Thinking of this, she asked Moxiang to bring a mirror for her to look at.
Looking left and right in the mirror, Chu Liuzheng looked up at the two of them and asked, "Do I look like a eunuch?"
Moxiang:?
Jade pendant:?
The two of them reached out to touch her forehead. Chu Liuzheng retreated a bit and said, "I don't have a fever, and I'm not trying to be funny with you. Take a good look at me. Do I look like a eunuch?"
Seeing that she asked seriously, although they didn't understand why, Moxiang and Yuzhu also looked at her seriously.
Chu Liuzheng raised his face slightly and asked them to look.
After a moment, Moxiang shook her head: "Not like that."
Even eunuchs are men. Even if there are some who look feminine and pretty, their skeletons are different from those of women. Liu Zheng's appearance shows that he is a beautiful girl.
Yuzhui frowned and stared at Chu Liuzheng without saying a word.
Chu Liuzheng made her nervous.
[No way, do I really have the temperament of a eunuch? ]
Moxiang reached out and pushed the jade pendant: "Say something."
Yuzhui's brows furrowed even tighter: "I suddenly remembered something."
They both asked in unison, "What's going on?"
Yuzhui turned around to lock the door, then pushed open the doors and windows. When he saw that no one was eavesdropping, he closed the windows and locked them tightly.
Chu Liuzheng hurriedly reminded: "There is a brazier in the room, it needs to be ventilated."
"It's only for a moment. It's nothing serious." Yuzhui turned back, waved mysteriously at the two of them, and whispered, "I want to tell you a strange story."
The two looked at each other and leaned closer.
At the same time, in the upper room on the second floor of Hongfu Inn, Prince Cheng paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, expressionless.
The window made a 'click' sound, and a blue shadow flipped in and landed silently like a cat.
Prince Cheng turned around and looked at him, slightly surprised: "Why is it you?"
