Chapter 414: Aiding the Evil
Zhou Yuande fell silent, ran to move a chair over for Xiao Jingfan to sit on, and sighed in his heart.
He had realized these days that his Majesty was only too eager and that Miss Chu had no intention of entering the harem.
In the past, he would have scolded Chu Liuzheng for being ungrateful and taking advantage of a slave, but who could blame his own emperor for falling for him and taking him to heart, and being so kind to him?
These days, the emperor wished he could be torn into two. He was either guarding in Chu Liuzheng's tent or in Prince Rui's tent, for fear that if one of them was not kept under watch, something might happen to both of them.
In just a few days, he lost a lot of weight. The chief eunuch saw it and felt sad. How could he bear to hold the emperor back and say something nonsense in front of Chu Liuzheng?
It took so much effort to wake one person up, we can’t make trouble again.
After a while, Xiao Jingfan heard his chief eunuch sigh three times. He turned his head and looked over with a puzzled look.
Zhou Yuande smiled awkwardly: "I'll make you a cup of tea."
"Yeah." Xiao Jingfan turned his head back and continued to stare at the door curtain to listen to his inner thoughts.
It's not that he doesn't want to go in, but...
Never mind, I'll just sit at the door.
Chu Liuzheng was so engrossed in searching for gossip that he didn't realize the emperor was sitting at the door of the tent.
[Wakaka! I finally caught him! Let me see, the scholar is now...Mochizuki Island!]
[Holy crap! The master on Moon-Watching Island is actually a scholar! ! The scholar is the master! He actually aided and abetted the evil!]
Xiao Jingfan's pupils trembled, and he suddenly gripped the armrest of the chair to hide the turmoil in his heart.
[Oh, no, no, no, the scholar didn't surrender voluntarily. Instead, he was unlucky enough to encounter huge waves while sailing, and his ship lost control and ran aground near Wangyue Island, where he was discovered by the pirates.]
[Faced with the choice between death and hard labor, the scholar chose to become a charlatan, fooling the pirates into thinking he was a deity sent down to help them make a comeback. They were so eager to build a temple to honor him.]
Xiao Jingfan: "..."
His Majesty the Emperor silently chanted: Amitabha, I'm used to it, I'm used to it, I'm not angry, not angry, not angry...
Well, he wasn't angry at all.
[Uh... So the scholar's name is Yi Zhen? Why does it sound so much like a pseudonym? Could it be another pseudonym?]
Chu Liuzheng didn't know that he had put the emperor in such a bad mood that he was sitting on the bungee jumping machine again. He looked at the system interface and then scrolled down.
[Oh~ Scholar Yi set up the formation around Moon-Watching Island to prevent unlucky people like him from appearing again and becoming victims of pirates, not to deal with the navy.]
[The people on those ships that were plundered by pirates were not actually killed. Instead, they became coolies on the island and became part of the construction of Wangyue Island.]
When the navy attacked Moon-Watching Island, Scholar Yi happened to be taken by the chieftain to Qionghua Island to meet with Master Huang. By the time he learned about the battle, it was already over. Furious, he didn't eat for three days and tried to think of ways to mess with those smug pirates.
[Uh… deliberately complaining about the food and asking the boss to cook it himself, nearly burning down half the island?]
[They deliberately said that the Second In Command was in danger of a bloody disaster and needed to shave all his hair to save his life, causing the First In Command and his brothers to shave him like a smooth boiled egg, with his howling echoing throughout the island?]
Wearing a skirt for a month, drinking porridge while standing upside down, curing illnesses by smelling smelly feet, and eating bird droppings?!?!
Chu Liuzheng felt a lump in his throat and was so nauseous that he almost vomited out the food he had just eaten.
She took a few deep breaths, and the faint scent of jasmine on the bedding penetrated into her lungs, and the feeling of nausea gradually dissipated.
She continued to flip through the pages, and was amazed by the various ways that Yi Shusheng tortured people.
[Oh my, isn't Scholar Yi a hermit who can tell fortunes? Why does he seem so unreliable?]
Xiao Jingfan, who was outside the tent, frowned and felt the same way.
[No, I was looking for Tianlian Fruit.]
Chu Liuzheng patted his forehead, his attention was completely attracted by Yi Shusheng's fancy moves, and the real work had not been done yet.
When Scholar Yi arrived on the island, he was searched. If he had the Heavenly Lotus Fruit with him, it would have been found. Since it wasn't found, the Heavenly Lotus Fruit definitely wasn't on him.
Chu Liuzheng began to flip forward following the scholar's movements.
She previously thought that the Thousand-Handed Scholar was the Scholar Yi, but was misled by the huge amount of information, which made it difficult to track the whereabouts of the Scholar Yi.
But things are different now.
She just needs to keep an eye on the whereabouts of Scholar Yi and not be confused by other news about the Thousand-Handed Scholar.
[Yi Zhen, Yi, scholar...]
Chu Liuzheng picked out the news one by one, starting with the most recent one.
[This isn't it, this isn't it either, this... Hey~ I'm not a pervert, I don't need to know that Scholar Yi is wearing yellow shorts today. Thank you!]
Xiao Jingfan spat out a mouthful of tea and choked, coughing.
Zhou Yuande hurriedly patted his back.
The noise was so loud that Chu Liuzheng couldn't help but hear it.
She was very familiar with the emperor's cough.
She quickly turned off the system, pulled up the quilt and pretended to be asleep, silently praying that the emperor would not come in.
When she just woke up, she must have been blinded by greed. She actually served as a pillow for the emperor for more than an hour just to eat melon. If she hadn't been so hungry that she was growling, who knows how long that weird posture would have lasted.
Of course, this is not what Chu Liuzheng cares about. Strictly speaking, this only accounts for a small part.
What concerned her the most was that when she was nestled in the emperor's arms eating melon, there were people waiting outside the tent who heard her wake up and rushed to visit her. At the same time, Eunuch Zhou enthusiastically told them that she and the emperor were hugging each other and sharing their innermost feelings, blah blah blah. Chu Liuzheng wanted to murder Eunuch Zhou ten thousand times just thinking about it!
She pulled the quilt tighter and tighter, not wanting to face reality at all.
The coughing outside the tent stopped.
The sound of a curtain being lifted.
The sound of approaching footsteps.
The scent of sandalwood wafted past Chu Liuzheng's nose before its owner did.
Chu Liuzheng: “…”
I fell asleep, I fell asleep, I fell asleep.
The footsteps disappeared, but the sandalwood remained.
The rustling sound of fabric rubbing against each other.
The quilt on the side of the bed sank slightly. The person who came sat on the edge of the bed, put his hand lightly on the quilt, and leaned closer.
A warm air flow brushed across her face, and Chu Liuzheng's heart was beating like a drum. The scent of sandalwood, which should have calmed her mind, made her feel extremely confused and she wished she could lose all five senses immediately.
[What are you doing so close to me, Tyrant? I don't have any flowers on my face!]
Another warm breath brushed past my ear.
Chu Liuzheng felt a tingling sensation on his back, and the roots of his hair stood on end.
[Damn it!! Your breathing is disturbing me!!!]
While he was going crazy, he seemed to hear a light laugh, but when Chu Liuzheng listened carefully, the laughter disappeared.
Maybe she was too nervous and heard it wrong?
The hands under the quilt unconsciously clenched into fists.
[Hmm~ When will the tyrant leave? I can't pretend anymore.]
Xiao Jingfan looked at the person on the bed who was trying hard to pretend to be asleep, reached out to touch his long eyelashes, and laughed clearly in a low voice.
Chu Liuzheng's ears and body felt numb, and he thought dazedly, has my acting skill deteriorated?
When you are caught pretending to sleep, there is no point in pretending any longer.
Between opening his eyes and not opening his eyes, Chu Liuzheng chose to fight to the bitter end.
That’s right, she’s just pretending! If you have the guts, pry her eyelids open!
