Chapter 297: The Touching Love Between the Emperor and His Subjects
The injury on his neck was not serious, and Chu Liuzheng returned to work after only three days of rest.
Of course, it’s not that she is too active at work, but the emperor has been bothered by something recently and can’t sleep again.
Doctor Wu's acupuncture was useless.
Zhou Yuande urgently called for help, and Chu Liuzheng had no choice but to go back to the Yangxin Palace to work as a masseur.
I thought the emperor would fall asleep quickly like last time, but I didn't expect him to be so energetic that he didn't even want to close his eyes. It felt like he could get up and review three pounds of memorials.
[What kind of good person sleeps without closing his eyes? He is not a fish! ]
Chu Liuzheng's waist and arms were sore from the massage, and he was filled with resentment and wanted to quit.
Tomorrow she will train all the palace maids in the Yangxin Palace and assign the massage work to them.
"I can't sleep." Xiao Jingfan pushed her hand away and sat up, his eyes bright.
【Haha, I see.】
Chu Liuzheng said, "I'll have someone bring me some calming tea."
Xiao Jingfan smacked his lips together: "No."
Chu Liuzheng: “…”
[If the guy on the bed wasn't a tyrant, I would...]
Countless scenes of dealing with naughty children flashed through her mind, and her hands felt a little itchy.
Xiao Jingfan didn't hear what happened next for a long time, and then he raised his eyelids to look at her.
Chu Liuzheng...is scared.
The big boss is not a naughty kid.
She took out a tinder and lit the candle, ready to stay up all night with the boss.
Seeing that the hall was lit up again, Zhou Yuande pushed the door open and came in to see.
Xiao Jingfan said to him, "Put the chess table on."
Well, even Miss Liu Zheng’s massage is useless.
Zhou Yuande was so anxious that he even wanted to do something treasonous and ask the imperial physician to prick the emperor's sleeping point.
How can you not sleep when you have so many things to do all day?
But the eunuch didn't dare.
So, the candles were lit, the chess table was set, and the refreshments were in place.
Chu Liuzheng thought she had nothing to do with such elegant things as playing chess, so she clapped her hands and wanted to slip back to sleep, but Zhou Yuande slipped away faster than her and closed the door behind her.
Chu Liuzheng: “…”
There is something I don’t know whether I should say.
A leisurely voice came from behind: "Come here."
【嘤~My little bed! 】
Chu Liuzheng was so sad and angry that he turned around and went back to play chess with the emperor.
It was already midnight.
"Wrong, move this way." Xiao Jingfan tapped the chessboard with his slender fingers.
Chu Liuzheng resisted the urge to yawn and numbly changed the position of the chess piece.
I don't know where the emperor got the interest from, he actually condescended to teach her, a bad chess player. No, based on her Go level, she is not even a bad chess player.
He actually condescended to teach her, a palace maid who was not even a lousy chess player and even more clueless than Xiaobai, how to play chess. It was really boring.
If you can’t sleep, go and review memorials!
Chu Liuzheng was sad and angry.
She really wanted to go back to sleep!!
How could there be a creature in the world like a tyrant who hates sleeping so much?!
Xiao Jingfan looked at the person opposite him who was so sleepy that he could hardly open his eyes. He raised his eyebrows slightly and flicked the chess piece with his fingertips, hitting him right on the forehead.
Chu Liuzheng shuddered in pain, his mind was hazy and he didn't think much about it. He reached out, grabbed a handful of chess pieces and hit back.
Down with the evil forces that never sleep!
Such audacity was beyond Xiao Jingfan's expectation. It was difficult for him to dodge while sitting cross-legged, and he was hit by several bullets.
Looking at the red marks on the emperor's handsome face, Chu Liuzheng instantly woke up from his sleepiness and his heart exploded.
[Ah ...
How can you fight a tyrant? You don't want to live, but I do!
[What should I do? How can I save my life?]
Chu Liuzheng's mind was blank, but her body slid to her knees quickly. When she reacted, she was already kneeling on the ground and apologizing for her sins.
After thinking for a while with her remaining brain, there seemed to be nothing else she could do, so she skillfully recited her last words in her mind.
I've said it so many times that I can almost recite it by heart.
Xiao Jingfan, who had heard it countless times and had memorized it by heart, said: "..."
The chess pieces are made of warm jade. They are soft to the touch, transparent and beautiful, and they hurt when you hit someone with them.
He rubbed the spot where he was hit by the chess piece.
I don’t know how many years it has been since I was hit, but it was still a slap in the face.
How dare you!
Chu Liuzheng felt that every second was like a year, and he glanced at the emperor secretly.
[Give me a definite answer whether I'm dead or alive! ]
Xiao Jingfan thought to himself: I definitely cannot die, but if I live, Xijun cannot be let off easily.
He thought for a moment and said, "There is something that bothers me. If you can help me solve it, I will not bother with you."
Chu Liuzheng's eyes lit up, then dimmed again.
[What troubles a tyrant must be a matter of national importance. Can I figure it out with my brain?]
[Never mind, it's a chance to survive after all. I still have the system, so let's try it.]
She said respectfully, "Your Majesty, please speak."
"I want to transport a batch of things back from Japan. How can I do it quietly?" Xiao Jingfan held his chin with one hand, stared down at her forehead where the red mark had not yet faded, and thought to himself that he would not slap her in the face next time.
Chu Liuzheng asked him so much that he was dumbfounded.
[Are you asking me, a little maid, about such a difficult matter? Is the tyrant short-circuited in his brain because he doesn't sleep? ]
In order to save her life, she searched quickly in the system.
[No, no, no... huh?]
[Frog Fun!! Han the Great Fraudster secretly sent someone to send a shipload of gold back to the tyrant. It's already on the way!]
[A boat! That's a boat! What kind of touching and moving relationship between ruler and subject is this?!]
Xiao Jingfan cheered up.
Why didn’t you say it earlier!!
It made him think about it for so long!!
I can’t sleep because I miss gold so much!!!
He gritted his teeth and said coldly, "Don't answer. I've changed my mind."
Chu Liuzheng instantly withdrew his attention from the gold.
[Holy crap! Aren't the emperor's words golden? Even eight hundred horses can't reverse them. What kind of emperor is he if he goes back on his word?!]
Chu Liuzheng was shocked by Xiao Jingfan's shamelessness, and was then punished by Xiao Jingfan to set up the chess game according to the chess manual all night, and he had to be checked the next day.
Chu Liuzheng: “…”
She didn't understand. To be the emperor's confidant, did one have to be able to play chess? Tomorrow she would definitely ask Eunuch Zhou if he was a good chess player.
But compared to my life, a few games of chess are nothing.
She yawned, moved her body, and took notes at the same time, trying her best to complete the KPI set by her boss.
The crisp sound of chess pieces falling echoed all night long.
On the dragon bed, Xiao Jingfan slept well all night.
The next morning, sunlight shone through the window and fell lightly on my eyelids, warm and dazzling.
Chu Liuzheng, who was lying on the chess table, scratched his face, turned his head, buried his face in his arms, and continued to sleep soundly.
"cough!"
The person lying on the ground didn't move.
“Ahem!”
The person lying on the ground still didn't move.
Zhou Yuande tried his luck: "Miss Liu Zheng?"
Chu Liuzheng raised his hands to cover his ears.
Zhou Yuande raised his voice: "Chu Liuzheng!"
"Yes!" Chu Liuzheng stood up like a spring, his eyes opened instantly. They were smaller than usual, with watery eyes. He looked particularly sleepy, and his hair was messy.
Zhou Yuande looked at her dignity and sighed for the eightieth time in his heart.
What a great opportunity it was last night. The dragon bed was right next to me. Why am I lying here?
The eunuch was very disappointed.
