Chapter 361: One or Two, Not Three
Before Xiao Jingfan could react, Zhou Yuande was so angry that he almost couldn't breathe and died on the spot in front of Chu Liuzheng.
We asked you to persuade us, not to make trouble!
Can he give himself some peace of mind with all these things?
Chu Liuzheng blinked innocently, meaning, I've already risked my life for you, so why are you still not satisfied?
Zhou Yuande: “…”
Let him die!
He will die now!
"Butler Zhou." Lu Fei reached out and grabbed the man, winking at him.
Is this the time to be angry? You should quickly persuade His Majesty to stop!
Zhou Yuande sighed.
Ever since His Majesty left the palace, he has been acting on his whim, like a bird out of a cage, and it has become increasingly difficult to persuade him.
Before, Chu Liuzheng could still help persuade him, and His Majesty was willing to listen, but now the two of them are quarreling together.
Which emperor would rush to the enemy’s base camp?
Manager Zhou really wants to quit!
Not to mention how tired Zhou Yuande was, just look at Xiao Jingfan and Chu Liuzheng.
Xiao Jingfan firmly disagreed with Chu Liuzheng's request to follow him.
Chu Liuzheng's frail body could frighten him to vomit even when riding a horse, so how could he be frightened when following a night expedition?
But Chu Liuzheng was determined not to watch Eunuch Zhou hang himself. As long as Xiao Jingfan went, she would go, even if it was secretly, because she was a sticky candy that could not be shaken off.
Xiao Jingfan's face turned serious: "This is an imperial decree."
Oh no.
Chu Liuzheng glanced at Zhou Yuande.
[Eunuch Zhou, you heard it. It's not that I didn't try hard, but I really couldn't disobey the order.]
Zhou Yuande: “…”
Where's his rope!
Not long after, Lu Fei and Du Qian, who also could not disobey the imperial edict, arranged everything. Xiao Jingfan changed into a nightgown and walked out. His tall figure almost blended into the dark night.
Zhou Yuande paced back and forth in the yard worriedly, unable to rest for a moment.
Feng Jing had already gone back to sleep, and Chu Liuzheng also wanted to go back to her room to sleep, but in order to avoid being bullied by Eunuch Zhou in the future, she stayed and waited.
She held her face with her hands, her eyelids drooping with sleepiness, but she had to pull herself together and persuade him, "Don't worry, the young master knows his limits and will definitely return safely."
Zhou Yuande thought that if he had more sense, he would not have followed him. Is it the emperor's job to go on a night visit?
[With so many people following him, both openly and secretly, it's no problem to protect himself with the tyrant's martial arts.]
Chu Liuzheng was very open-minded. She continued to persuade Zhou Yuande for a few words, but seeing that Zhou Yuande was still anxious, she knew that he would not listen at this moment, so she stopped persuading him and got up to make a pot of strong tea to refresh himself.
This night is going to be tough.
“Tap, tap, tap.”
After the gong struck three times, it was already three o'clock in the morning.
Even strong tea could not dispel the surging sleepiness. Chu Liuzheng lay on the stone table with his head buried in his arms. He seemed to hear some movement in a daze and wanted to open his eyes to look, but his eyelids seemed to be heavy. He fell asleep again in less than half a second after struggling himself.
When I woke up, I was in bed, but my soul was floating in my head.
【It’s not advisable to drink strong tea and stay up late. 】
Chu Liuzheng raised his hand to press his temples, got out of bed feeling dizzy, and washed his face with cold water in the basin. At least he felt a little more refreshed.
With this thought, things that I had not noticed just now suddenly popped into my mind.
She glanced back at the bed.
[Is this me, sleepwalking back?]
“Bang, bang, bang!”
There was a knock on the door.
"Are you awake?" Feng Jing called from outside the door, "Time for breakfast."
"I'm coming." Chu Liuzheng agreed, quickly rinsed his mouth with green salt, picked up a hairpin to tie up his hair, and walked quickly to open the door.
Feng Jing leaned against the door frame waiting for her. When he saw her face, he frowned: "How long did you sleep last night?"
"I don't remember." Chu Liuzheng patted his face to make it a little more rosy, walked out with him, and asked, "Is the young master back?"
Feng Jing raised his hand to block the sunlight from his eyes and replied lazily, "He returned last night. Don't worry, everything is fine."
Chu Liuzheng: “…”
Why did she hear a hint of regret in this guy's tone?
She asked again, "Where are Abbot Jiang and the others?"
"We came back early in the morning and captured all five of them. Chen Xing and Si Yue are being interrogated, and Abbot Jiang has gone back to sleep." Feng Jing got up early in the morning and took a stroll around the mansion to get a clear picture of everyone's situation.
It went pretty smoothly.
Chu Liuzheng yawned and asked, "Where can we have breakfast?"
"The kitchen is still cooking." Feng Jing tilted his head to look at her, his eyes dim, "Where's my fried noodles?"
【So you're waiting for me here. 】
Chu Liuzheng looked at him helplessly: "You don't feel sick of eating fried noodles so early in the morning."
"No problem." Feng Jing had been thinking about it all night. "I went to the kitchen and checked. There were shrimps, fish, and crabs, all alive and kicking."
"Okay, okay, I'll make it for you right away." Chu Liuzheng didn't want to hear Feng Jing muttering about fried noodles in her ear every day. She turned around and wanted to go directly to the kitchen, but suddenly remembered something, so she turned back and went to the main house first.
Zhou Yuande was standing guard at the door. Seeing her coming, he waved at her and lowered his voice, "The young master hasn't woken up yet."
Chu Liuzheng nodded, glanced at the closed door, and asked, "I'm going to make fried noodles for Doctor Feng. What would you like to eat?"
Zhou Yuande shook his head: "Thank you for your kindness, young lady. I have already eaten."
Chu Liuzheng went to find Chen Xing and Si Yue again. He was afraid that they might see some bloody scene early in the morning, so he didn't dare to go into the house. He asked them through the window what they wanted to eat in the morning.
Chen Xing opened half of the window, poked out a pale little face, and said with a smile: "I love everything my sister cooks. Mi Yue said the same thing."
Chu Liuzheng looked at her. She looked full of energy and didn’t look like someone who had just stayed up all night. Is this the vitality of a fifteen-year-old girl?
At this moment, a hoarse scream slipped out from the window, mixed with a few curses and a faint smell of blood.
Chu Liuzheng felt a chill on his back when he heard this. The cry was too creepy.
Chen Xing still smiled: "Miyue and I will be busy first. When sister is done, just send someone to call us."
"Okay." Chu Liuzheng watched the window close, rubbed the goose bumps on his arms, and quickly went to the kitchen.
Feng Jing had been waiting here for a long time, catching crabs.
He wants to pick the biggest one!
Chu Liuzheng looked at the ingredients in the kitchen, picked out the ones she was going to use, and asked the servants to help wash them. She then used the casserole to cook the porridge.
Not everyone has a good appetite like Feng Jing when waking up early. Since everyone stayed up late last night, I decided to make a light and sweet seafood porridge.
"It would be a shame if you didn't become a chef with your cooking skills." Feng Jing ate the fried noodles he had been thinking about all night with satisfaction and gave Chu Liuzheng a thumbs up.
"Who said I don't want to be a chef?" Chu Liuzheng poured sauce on the smashed cucumber. "I'm going to open a restaurant after I leave the palace. Remember to come and support me then."
Hearing this, Feng Jing choked and quickly drank a mouthful of soup, looking at her in surprise: "Opening a restaurant? Does the young master know about this?"
Chu Liuzheng felt strange: "What does my opening a restaurant have to do with the young master?"
【Small business, no need for investors.】
"You—" Feng Jing stared at her, "Did you know that it was the young master who carried you back to your room last night?"
Chu Liuzheng:!!!
It can be one or two but not three!!
"Hey!" Feng Jing waved his hand in front of her eyes, "Give me some reaction."
