Chapter 403 Fake
"What's wrong?" Chen Xing and the others stared at him intently. Even Zhou Yuande was aroused by his curiosity and urged, "Doctor Feng, there are no outsiders here. Please explain clearly."
Feng Jing shook his head and waved to everyone: "It's almost time. I'm going to go back and check the treasure bag. I'll come back later."
When Chen Xing heard that he wanted to see the brocade bag, thinking that the emperor might stay in it for a long time, he immediately chased after him: "I want to see it too."
Lu Fei and Zhou Yuande looked at each other, then stood aside to guard the door.
In the tent, Xiao Jingfan helped Chu Liuzheng lie down, frowning and scolding: "You want perilla leaves, there are dried ones in the barracks, why bother to go out and pick them yourself?"
Eyes moving, Chu Liuzheng gently pinched the hem of his clothes with two fingers, shook it coquettishly, and pursed her lips: "It's all my fault for not thinking carefully. Please punish me."
The ending tone is drawn out, with a delicate tone that is unique to girls.
Xiao Jingfan:?
Xiao Jingfan:!!
Xiao Jingfan: "..."
He lowered his eyes to look at the fingers that looked particularly white and slender against the blue fabric, and two big words popped up in his mind: Fake!
That woman wanted to stay ten feet away from him, so how could she possibly take the initiative to get close to him? And even act like a spoiled child? Even if her brain was eaten by a wild boar, it would be impossible!
Besides, even if she was scared by the wild boar, the woman would not simply take the blame on herself. Instead, she would come up with countless excuses to exonerate herself.
The most important thing is that being respectful on the surface but cursing him in her heart is what the woman usually does.
If what happened on the bed was real, I would have cursed him in my heart for being a tyrant, for not knowing the difference between fresh and dried perilla leaves, for taking his kindness for granted, and for complaining that the little palace maid had no human rights and was scolded for being injured.
In short, it is absolutely impossible for his ears to be so quiet.
So, this thing on the bed is definitely fake.
No matter how real it looks, it's still fake.
"How could I bear to punish you?" He raised a doting smile at the corner of his lips, decisively took "Chu Liuzheng's" hand off his sleeve, stuffed it into the quilt, and calmly made a gesture to the dark through the cover of his sleeve.
Chu Liuzheng's cheeks flushed slightly, and he was about to lean into Xiao Jingfan's arms when a male voice suddenly rang out from outside: "Your Majesty, there is urgent news from the capital."
Xiao Jingfan stood up and considerately tucked the quilt for the person on the bed, and gently reminded him, "Get some rest. I'll come back to see you after I finish dealing with the urgent report."
"Chu Liuzheng" nodded obediently and watched him leave.
As soon as he walked out of the tent, the smile on Xiao Jingfan's face froze into ice. He ordered Lu Fei: "Send someone to guard the tent. Liu Zheng needs to rest. No one is allowed to disturb him."
"Yes." Lu Fei waved to a few guards and gave them detailed instructions.
Xiao Jingfan raised his hand and asked Xiao Shiyi, who had forged the urgent report, to come forward and whispered a few words in his ear.
Xiao Shiyi's figure flashed and disappeared into the night.
Zhou Yuande originally thought that the secret guard had really received an urgent report, but Xiao Shiyi neither reported it nor submitted any letters or memorials. Xiao Jingfan did not mention it either, but directly let him go to do his job. It would be strange if there was an urgent report.
Suddenly, the chief eunuch also felt that something was wrong and quietly followed Xiao Jingfan back to the main tent.
Lu Fei also followed.
Xiao Jingfan looked at the two of them: "The Chu Liuzheng in the tent is fake."
"Fake?" Zhou Yuande was shocked. They looked exactly the same and had the same voice, so how could they be fake?
Lu Fei had a feeling that it was as expected.
Zhou Yuande asked carefully, "Your Majesty, how did you see that?"
It’s no wonder he asked this question, because Xiao Jingfan has a criminal record.
During the year of the selection, Xiao Jingfan mistook two new concubines who looked only slightly similar for each other for a whole year. Not only could he not remember their names, but he even got their surnames and positions wrong. When the empress dowager pointed it out to him, he still didn't believe it and specially summoned the two to Wanshou Palace, and then got them wrong again.
The two new concubines were so embarrassed that the empress dowager gave them a lot of gifts to comfort them.
Now Xiao Jingfan only stayed with Chu Liuzheng in the tent for a short while and he was sure that Chu Liuzheng was someone else in disguise. Eunuch Zhou couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.
"I can tell at a glance." Xiao Jingfan glanced at him and thought to himself that the real thing and the fake were so different, it would be strange if he couldn't recognize them.
Besides, eyes are the hardest to disguise.
The woman's eyes were as bright as stars, which made people happy when they saw them. They were unlike the fake one on the bed, whose eyes were heavy and dark, which made people feel unhappy.
Although he could barely cover it up by saying that he was frightened and listless, Xiao Jingfan felt that Lu Fei's suspicion was correct the moment he saw the fake Chu Liuzheng.
After hearing the reasons he gave, Zhou Yuande couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and Lu Fei was also very surprised. Is His Majesty so meticulous in judging people?
Xiao Jingfan didn't care what the two were thinking. He put his hand on his forehead, frowned, and thought about how to follow the clues and rescue the real one.
He actually had some doubts about the fake Chu Liuzheng in the tent.
Since he can disguise his appearance and voice to be exactly the same as the real thing, I guess he has observed it carefully. Then why is his personality so different?
Thinking of the fake Chu Liuzheng grabbing his clothes and acting coquettishly, Xiao Jingfan couldn't help but shudder, and got goosebumps all over his body.
Just as the three of them were thinking of a plan together, Chen Xing rushed in carrying Feng Jing like a gust of wind, without even waiting for the soldiers guarding the door to inform them.
"Your Majesty, this is bad." Feng Jing couldn't wait to stand firm and said, "The Liu Zheng in the tent is..."
"It's fake." Xiao Jingfan answered without hesitation and looked at him, "How did you find out?"
Feng Jing blinked.
Shouldn't he be the one asking this?
How did you know?
"This brocade bag." Chen Xing presented the red brocade bag to Xiao Jingfan. "It says inside that tonight someone will disguise themselves as someone close to you and deliberately approach you in order to overthrow the Great Sheng Empire."
Zhou Yuande and Lu Fei were startled and turned their heads to look to the right.
That's where Chu Liuzheng's tent is.
Xiao Jingfan took the brocade bag and looked at it.
The palm-sized brocade bag contained only a small paper roll.
He unfolded the paper scroll, and his pupils constricted at a glance. He used so much force with his fingers that he almost tore the paper scroll apart.
The handwriting on the scroll was exactly the same as the handwriting in the green bamboo purse that the young scholar in front of the restaurant had given him.
Is that scholar the half-immortal who told Feng Jing's fortune?
He suddenly raised his eyes to look at Feng Jing and asked sharply, "What does that half-immortal look like?"
Feng Jing was startled by the murderous look in his eyes and blurted out, "It's an old man with a white beard."
Xiao Jingfan was stunned: "Not a scholar?"
Feng Jing was puzzled: "What scholar?"
Xiao Jingfan pursed his lips and did not answer. He put the paper scroll back into the brocade bag and ordered Xiao Da to go to the city to find the half-immortal and bring him to the military camp immediately. He wanted to question him in person.
Feng Jing muttered, "If I catch him, I'll just ask him to tell my fortune again."
Everyone: “…”
It's not like you can get a wife by calculating it. If you have the free time, you might as well write a love letter to Dr. Qin.
"Ahem." Xiao Jingfan cleared his throat and drew everyone's attention back. "The most urgent thing is to find that person and rescue him."
Chen Xing sighed, "It's a pity there's no blood from Sister Liu Zheng, otherwise we could have asked the Shadow Chaser to look for it."
