Chapter 461: Evil Will Be Punished by Evil
[Butterfly actually sent a message to the tyrant asking for cooperation. Is this to trick the tyrant? Or trick the tyrant? Or trick the tyrant?]
Chu Liuzheng's trust in Wei Mingliang was negative, and she didn't believe he would truly cooperate with Xiao Jingfan. To avoid missing out on any plots, she searched the system while carrying the melon to the emperor.
Xiao Jingfan was still reading the secret letter, his brows tightly furrowed, not knowing what he was thinking.
Suddenly, a piece of cool melon was fed to his lips.
He looked up and saw that it was indeed Chu Liuzheng.
So he opened his mouth and took a bite.
Chu Liuzheng sat down beside him, holding a silver stick and feeding him melon attentively.
As Xiao Jingfan fed and ate, his frown relaxed. With a sweet taste in his mouth, he placed the secret letter in front of Chu Liuzheng, "This is from the Second Prince of Xixia. Take a look."
"Your Majesty, the harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs." Chu Liuzheng didn't even glance at him and opened his mouth to bite off half of the melon.
"I allow you to watch." Xiao Jingfan reached out and straightened the butterfly hairpin that was a little crooked on her bun, and by the way, he leaned over and ate the remaining half of the melon on the silver skewer.
Seeing the moist thin lips, Chu Liuzheng leaned over and kissed her.
Soft and sweet.
She blinked.
【Tsk, male beauty is so tempting. 】
Xiao Jingfan's eyes darkened, and he put his hands around Chu Liuzheng's waist, but Chu Liuzheng pulled them down mercilessly.
Although she kissed him first, business was more important.
His Majesty the Emperor was not very satisfied, but business was indeed important.
With permission, Chu Liuzheng picked up the secret letter on the table and read it carefully. Although she had already read it once in the system, she still read it carefully again.
Now the one feeding the melon became Xiao Jingfan.
The letter wasn't long, and Chu Liuzheng finished it in the time it took to eat two pieces of melon. She put the letter down and turned to look at the emperor, "Your Majesty, can you trust what's written in the letter?"
Xiao Jingfan twirled the silver stick, his dense eyelashes obscuring the expression in his eyes. "Do you think I should believe it?"
【What do I say about this? 】
Chu Liuzheng thought for a moment and chose a safer answer: "Wei Mingliang is a cunning and scheming man, so don't trust him. The letter contains a matter of great importance. Why would he tell you?"
"His current situation in Xixia is worrying," Xiao Jingfan said. "The Xixia Emperor adopted a prince from the common people and named him Rui. He was recently crowned Crown Prince. Wei Mingliang has suffered many losses at the hands of Wei Mingrui. The two are now at loggerheads, like water and fire."
[Tsk, they say every wicked man will be punished by his own wickedness. An illegitimate child is definitely born to be unlucky with fairies.]
The reason why Butterfly wrote such a treasonous letter to the tyrant was mainly because the illegitimate child had gone too far this time.
How is that too much?
Xiao Jingfan did not receive any relevant information, so he pricked up his ears silently.
[The illegitimate child was also a vicious person, actually sending people to poison the entire Butterfly Mansion. If the old housekeeper hadn't noticed something was wrong, the illegitimate child would have almost succeeded.]
[Well... to be precise, he did succeed a little. Several servants in Huadie's mansion died, three concubines died, and his beloved son was poisoned to death. No one could swallow this bitter pill, let alone Huadie, who was so vindictive.]
Chu Liuzheng bit the melon that was fed to his mouth and continued to look at the system.
【Speaking of which, the Xixia Emperor was quite partial.】
Hua Hudie reported the poisoning of her illegitimate son to the palace, hoping to have her father, the Emperor, take action. However, even with the evidence before her, the Xixia Emperor was still trying to smooth things over, refusing to punish the illegitimate son no matter what. Hua Hudie was furious and immediately drew her sword and slashed at the illegitimate son. If a young eunuch hadn't intervened, the illegitimate son would have surely died in the palace.
This action angered the Xixia Emperor, but considering the circumstances, and the illegitimate son's hypocritical pleadings, the Xixia Emperor ultimately dismissed Hua Hudie from all her duties and ordered her to return home to reflect on her actions. She was not allowed to enter the palace without a royal decree.
Seeing Huadie's decline, some court officials who weren't staunch supporters of Huadie turned to the illegitimate son. The illegitimate son's power surged, and he frequently visited Huadie. On the surface, he acted as a brother, showing concern for his brother, but in reality, he was taking advantage of Huadie's misfortune and making fun of her, angering her to the point of vomiting blood.
[Tsk tsk, you deserve it! I let you deceive a young girl's heart and made you make blind promises. Now you're getting your comeuppance, right?]
Chu Liuzheng looked through the system.
"Butterfly, you're such a playboy, I'm afraid you don't even remember that you once tricked a flower girl on a whim while out and about. You even made up a whole story about it, making a promise of eternal love. Why don't you just go tell a story?"
He said he would definitely come back to marry her, but what happened? Year after year, the butterfly continued to play among the flowers, completely forgetting him. This made the flower girl wait year after year for him. Finally, on her way to find him, she was robbed and stabbed multiple times, leaving her body untouched.
The illegitimate child was picked up by a flower girl from a refugee slum. They treated each other like brother and sister, relying on each other for survival. The illegitimate child waited day and night for his sister's return, but in the end, he never even saw her for the last time, only hearing the tragic news. At that moment, the illegitimate child vowed to kill the robber who killed his sister and the heartless Butterfly.
Chu Liuzheng smacked his lips and ate the last piece of melon.
This is what they call "you reap what you sow"
Xiao Jingfan: "..."
How come this woman is learning opera singing?
Hua Hudie didn't want to accept his fate, but how could he turn things around so easily? The current situation was actually Hua Hudie's own doing. If he didn't want to make the Xixia Emperor feel threatened by his throne, how could he possibly support an illegitimate son to challenge him?
If Butterfly wants to turn things around now, she must either achieve great success or have her illegitimate son commit a grave error. Given the illegitimate son's recent actions, what could be a greater error than costing the lives of tens of thousands of Xixia soldiers?
Chu Liuzheng was often shocked by the cruelty of these superiors.
She picked up the secret letter on the table and read it again.
If the illegitimate child really colluded with the Tatars and became a tyrant, and achieved great success, then the disgraced Second Prince, Butterfly, would be completely unable to recover.
However, Huadie still has some humanity left. In the letter he wrote to the tyrant, he seemed to be asking the tyrant to cooperate with him in a covert operation, so that he could eventually step forward and turn the tide as the savior. To this end, Huadie's offer is quite generous. I wonder if the tyrant will agree.
Will Xiao Jingfan agree?
His Majesty the Emperor needs to think about it, and by the way, call together his trusted ministers to think about it together and discuss a foolproof plan.
These had nothing to do with Chu Liuzheng. The reminder had been done by Wei Mingliang in a secret letter, so she could continue to lie down with peace of mind.
Leisurely, that leisurely.
On the second day, two urgent secret letters were sent from the capital of Dasheng.
Strolling around the palace, Chu Liuzheng stretched himself, stepping on the falling yellow leaves, and led his men to the imperial garden.
The autumn heat had been really severe these days, and she wanted to go to the lake to cool off, but unexpectedly she ran into the queen and the little prince in the pavilion.
Chu Liuzheng took just one look and decisively turned and left.
But she wanted to leave, but someone didn't want her to leave.
Glancing at the palace maid standing in front of him, Chu Liuzheng turned and looked inside the pavilion, "What does the Queen mean?"
