Chapter 38 I suddenly wanted to go back
[Where did all this gold come from... Hmm? Tsk tsk, if the tyrant knew where the gold came from, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood.]
Xiao Jingfan:!!!
What's going on?
Corruption or bribery?
Speak up!!!
But Chu Liuzheng's attention had been drawn away by other gossip.
[Hahaha, Wang Yao was actually bitten by a dog. This dog belonged to the director of the Imperial Observatory. He was worried that the director would plot against him, so he didn't dare to hit the dog. Not only did he get a piece of meat bitten off, but he also had to send the dog back to the owner.]
Xiao Jingfan: "..."
What dog are you looking at?
Tell me where the gold came from!
Chu Liuzheng was completely unaware of Xiao Jingfan's anxiety and continued reading.
[Oh shit! Hahahahahahahaha!]
Xiao Jingfan suddenly heard louder laughter. If it weren't for his strong self-control, he would have raised his hands to cover his ears.
Oh, covering your ears won't help.
The woman's thoughts could be transmitted directly into his mind.
[That dog wasn't even the director of the Imperial Observatory; it just looked like one. The director was also a wonderful person. He immediately swore the two dogs into brotherhood, not giving Wang Yao the chance to hit them.]
[Tsk tsk, why are there no pictures? I wanted to see how similar the two dogs look.]
Chu Liuzheng walked back while flipping through the pages. From the outside, it was impossible to tell how happy she was inside.
Next, a lot of gossip about the dog was told, but none of it was what Xiao Jingfan wanted to hear.
Xiao Jingfan stared at Chu Liuzheng's back and said, "Why don't you tell me where the gold in the Gu family's ice cellar came from?"
If Xiao Jingfan hadn't been worried that the existence of the "system" would disappear if known to people other than Chu Liuzheng, he would have wanted to grab Chu Liuzheng and interrogate him.
He clenched and unclenched his fists.
No, it can't be exposed.
The system is of great use to him and to Shengguo!
For example, if it weren't for the system, how would he have known about the existence of those three magical objects?
He can't take any risks!!
Chu Liuzheng felt a burning gaze staring at her from behind and slowly turned around.
【Um? 】
[The tyrant is reviewing memorials, and no one else is looking at me. Is it my imagination?]
[Could it be that I was a little slow in pouring the water just now, and the secret guard is dissatisfied with my perfunctory work attitude? ]
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard Xiao Jingfan shout, "Fifteen."
Xiao Shiwu emerged from the darkness and listened quietly to the instructions.
[The secret guard's dragon-shaped mask is incredibly well-protected, not even a drop of moisture remains. Unlike those masks in TV dramas that look the same whether they're covered or not, anyone with normal vision can recognize it.]
This was not the first time that Xiao Jingfan heard the word "TV series" from Chu Liuzheng's inner voice. He searched through the library but could not find the source, nor did he know what it was.
Suppressing his curiosity, he waved to Xiao Shiwu and whispered a few words in his ear.
With a flash of black shadow, Xiao Shiwu disappeared in the hall.
Chu Liuzheng, who had nothing to do during the night shift, immersed himself in the melon field. He thought he would have to rely on eating melons to get through the whole night, but he never expected that the tyrant was actually preparing to rest.
[Wuhu! Leave work early! !]
Hearing the cheers, Xiao Jingfan suddenly wanted to read a few more volumes.
——Why should he make this woman happy if she didn’t tell him the source of the gold?
Fortunately, Manager Zhou promptly dispelled Xiao Jingfan's evil idea of continuing to work overtime.
"Your Majesty, it's time to turn over the cards."
The eunuch from the Jingshifang stood at one side, hunched over, holding a tray full of green cards.
Xiao Jingfan didn't want to go to the harem, but when he thought about the advice of his ministers and the empress dowager's nagging at him about it, he gave up the idea after turning it over in his mind.
He stretched out his hand and was about to turn over Chun Zhaoyi's nameplate.
[I guessed it! It's indeed Consort Chun. It seems the tyrant is very satisfied with the secret play picture.]
The slender jade-like hand paused and slid to the side.
[Eh? If it's not Chun Zhaoyi, then it should be Rong Guifei, right? The tyrant hasn't been to Huaqing Palace this month.]
Xiao Jingfan, who was thinking this, said: "..."
The hand slid to the side again.
[If it's not Consort Rong, could it be Consort Xie? That's right, she's from the Empress Dowager's family after all.]
[Hmm? It's not Concubine Xie, so it must be Concubine Shu. It's a good opportunity to go see Princess Huirong. The tyrant seems quite fond of this daughter.]
Xiao Jingfan: "..."
The hand continues to move.
[Tsk, it's not Consort Shu either. The tyrant's mind is so hard to guess. Could it be Xu Wanyi? Is the tyrant thinking of their past tenderness and wanting to visit the imprisoned beauty?]
[No, that's... Chen Chongyi? Jie Yuhua, the gentle and considerate woman who doesn't fight or compete, is an excellent cook. She originally caught the tyrant's attention with a plate of crystal cake.]
Xiao Jingfan: "..."
It’s not because of the crystal cake!
He was going to fight with Chu Liuzheng today, and his hand continued to move.
[Hmm? Why not? Let me think, the most favored person in the harem is... Lady Wen? Come to think of it, it seems like the tyrant hasn't been to Xuexiang Garden in a while.]
[Tsk tsk, when you pamper someone, you pick the stars for the moon. It's only been a short time, and Lady Wen is almost getting tired of waiting for her husband, but the tyrant hasn't even shown a single eye. The scum is still the tyrant's scum. Whoever becomes the tyrant's concubine is unlucky.]
Xiao Jingfan: "..."
This damn woman!
He closed his eyes and flipped over a sign.
The eunuch from the Jingshifang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and gave Zhou Yuande a look of gratitude.
His Majesty doesn't like to go to the harem, which makes things very difficult for those of them who work in the Jingshifang. The Queen Mother asks them about it every day, blaming them for not doing their job well, and they can't bear it.
Zhou Yuande signaled him to go down and prepare quickly. This Concubine Zhu had never been favored by the emperor, so a nanny had to be sent over to teach her first.
[Congratulations on choosing a concubine? I don't remember that.]
Chu Liuzheng searched in the system.
[Oh, no wonder, this person has never been favored since entering the palace.]
[That's not right. Several concubines have been favored. This one is at least a concubine, one rank higher than a concubine. How come she hasn't been favored yet?]
Chu Liuzheng felt strange and started to dig deeper.
[It turns out that she fell ill right after entering the palace and missed the opportunity. Even after she recovered, the tyrant never thought of her again.]
[Based on the description, Zhu Xuanshi is a rare beauty. Damn, why is there still no picture?]
[Wow! The chosen one can actually dance on his palm! I want to see it! !]
Xiao Jingfan curled his lips secretly.
It's just a dance on the palm. There are many dancers in the Jiaofang Bureau who can do it. What's so strange about it?
If this woman likes it, it is not impossible to reward her with a few dancers when the time is right.
[Ah, Concubine Zhu is not sick, but has allergies. She has red bumps all over her face and can't see anyone.]
[According to the routine, a sudden allergy must be something fishy. Let me take a look...]
[Hmm? I see... Tsk!]
Xiao Jingfan was still listening when suddenly there was no further talk.
“…”
What does "tsk" mean?
You keep talking!!
Although he didn't care why a woman he had never even met suddenly had an allergic reaction, but! It was very uncomfortable to eat the melon halfway through!
——He learned the word "eat melon" from Chu Liuzheng.
After satisfying his curiosity, Chu Liuzheng closed the system and just wanted to get off work quickly.
[Isn't it about time? Why hasn't the tyrant left yet?]
My legs are numb from standing so much. I just want to go home from get off work, go home, go home, go home...
Next, the monks chanted sutras, which made Xiao Jingfan's head buzz.
He glared at Chu Liuzheng secretly, then stood up and walked out.
Zhou Yuande said loudly: "Go to the Yangxin Palace."
【Wuhu!! Get off work!】
【Dear little bed, I'm back! 】
Xiao Jingfan...suddenly wanted to turn back.
