Chapter 434 Plan
His Majesty the Emperor proposed the first rule: the marriage does not have to be consummated, but sleeping together and kissing and hugging are a must.
Chu Liuzheng treated it as a love affair with a handsome guy. As long as no one died, he could accept it, so he nodded in agreement.
His Majesty the Emperor proposed the second article: When summoning Chu Liuzheng to accompany him, Chu Liuzheng shall not refuse for any reason except illness.
Chu Liuzheng just treated it as going to work on time, as it was a job he was used to doing when serving in front of the emperor, so he agreed again.
His Majesty the Emperor proposed the third rule: Chu Liuzheng must praise the Emperor three times every day, morning, noon and evening, and cannot repeat within five days.
Regarding this point, Chu Liuzheng didn't quite understand what purpose the emperor had in proposing it.
[Isn't it enough for the tyrant to hear so much flattery every day? ]
Xiao Jingfan narrowed his eyes, Chu Liuzheng was startled and quickly agreed.
Isn’t it just praising yourself every day? Just three sentences, easy!
Before putting his hand seal on the seal, Chu Liuzheng suddenly remembered something and said cautiously, "Your Majesty, can I add another one?"
Xiao Jingfan saw the four big words "pressing on" on her face.
Chu Liuzheng took his silence as a tacit agreement and said quickly, "I want to leave the palace to see my family once a month!"
Xiao Jingfan: "You can't leave the palace."
Chu Liuzheng understood immediately and immediately changed his plan of leaving the palace to calling his family into the palace.
Only then did Xiao Jingfan reluctantly pick up the pen and add it.
"Your Majesty, you are so kind!" Chu Liuzheng leaned over and gave him a loud kiss on the face.
Xiao Jingfan didn't want this woman to take advantage of him, but he couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.
The two signed and sealed the agreement, and Xiao Jingfan added his private seal.
Chu Liuzheng read it over and over again before handing it to Xiao Jingfan and asking him to put it away.
Xiao Jingfan: "Aren't you worried that I'll destroy it?"
"Don't worry." Chu Liuzheng smiled, "Your Majesty is a man who values his promises."
[Destroy it if you want. I'm broke and have no one to rely on. This is a gentleman's agreement. If the tyrant doesn't want to keep his promise, even if I hold an imperial edict, it will be useless.]
She was just inspired by Siyue and thought of making a big bet with the emperor during lunch.
To her surprise, her life was quite important to the emperor, so important that the emperor was willing to agree to such an outrageous bet.
As far as the bet was concerned, she could gain a lot of benefits without having to do anything extra, while the emperor had to bear the pressure from all sides. In the end, regardless of whether the emperor could withstand the pressure or not, Yu Chu Liuzheng personally won.
The only two situations in which she would lose are when the emperor changes his mind halfway or when the situation deteriorates to the point where the emperor can no longer handle it and throws her out as a pawn.
It's just one life at a time. Rather than being trapped in the palace and forced to accept the emperor's rules, she would rather take the initiative to use her life to gamble on a possibility.
Xiao Jingfan looked at Chu Liuzheng deeply, put away the folded paper, and pulled Chu Liuzheng towards the bed.
Chu Liuzheng was puzzled: "What are you going to do?"
[You're not going to regret it so soon, are you?]
[Uh, that's not right. Even if the tyrant wanted to regret it now, he has no conditions to do so. His impotence hasn't been cured yet.]
When Xiao Jingfan heard this, the veins on his forehead popped. He simply picked up the person and threw him onto the bed. He then lowered the bed curtains and lay down on it.
【It turned out to be just a nap. 】
Chu Liuzheng tilted his head to look at the young man lying beside him, his almond-shaped eyes wide open. He had slept too long in the morning and had just made a bet, so he was very excited and couldn't sleep at all.
Xiao Jingfan lost all sleepiness under her stare, so he simply hugged her and lowered his head.
[Hiss——The wound on your mouth hasn't healed yet, can't you kiss me again in a couple of days?]
“Hmm!”
There was a rustling noise from inside the bed curtains, and it took a long time before calm returned.
Eunuch Zhou stood at the door holding a whisk, his fat face smiling like Maitreya Buddha.
After waking up from a nap, Xiao Jingfan went to Wenhua Palace. Chu Liuzheng had to go with him if he wanted to accompany him, but this time he didn't have to stand until his legs cramped. He could sit or lie down, and there were fruits and snacks.
Lu Fei went into the palace to report the matter, and after Xiao Jingfan made a decision, he mentioned that Xia Qiaoru wanted to see Chu Liuzheng.
Xiao Jingfan ordered Zhou Yuande to go to the side hall to inform Chu Liuzheng about this matter.
When Chu Liuzheng heard that Xia Qiaoru had not left because she was worried about her, he felt warm in his heart and was very touched.
Zhou Yuande said, "Your Majesty's intention is that if you want to see him, bring him here."
"I want to see her." Chu Liuzheng said immediately, "Thank you, eunuch."
About two quarters of an hour later, Xia Qiaoru was brought to Chu Liuzheng by Xiao Anzi. The moment she saw Chu Liuzheng, the tears in her eyes flowed down, and she covered her mouth and sobbed uncontrollably.
Xiao Anzi immediately led the people in the side hall out, leaving this place for the two of them to chat.
"Why are you crying?" Chu Liuzheng's eyes were red too. He pulled her to sit on the couch and took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears. "You should be happy that you've left the palace."
"You...you..." Xia Qiaoru was too excited. She stared at Chu Liuzheng with tearful eyes, sobbing and unable to utter a complete sentence.
"I'm fine." Chu Liuzheng held her hands tightly, his eyes slightly curved, "Don't worry."
"You're always like this." Xia Qiaoru opened the bundle she was carrying and found the banknotes hidden under her clothes. Her voice was choked with sobs. "You secretly gave me all the money you've saved in the palace over the years. From that moment on, you guessed you couldn't leave the palace, right?"
"How could I possibly have that ability?" Chu Liuzheng laughed, looking around and talking about something else. "After you leave the palace, go to the government office to exchange your documents, then deposit this silver in a bank. Don't tell your family. You may not like what I'm saying, but this may be the last time I'm saying it, so just listen."
"I know you're soft-hearted and don't want to see your family suffer, but you have to distinguish between people and things. They keep asking you for money and never ask if you're okay. Have they ever considered your difficulties in the palace? They just want to suck your blood."
"Since you sold yourself into the palace, giving all the money you earned to your family is considered repaying their kindness in giving birth to you. All the support you've provided over the years is considered repaying their kindness in raising you. You don't owe them anything. After you leave the palace, don't rush back in and let them suck your blood out of you until not even a bone is left."
"I..." Xia Qiaoru's face turned pale and she wanted to explain herself, but Chu Liuzheng said, "Just listen to me first."
"I've asked someone to find out, and your brother Zhijie is a good man, a capable person. His brother and sister-in-law are a bit calculative, but they're not bad people by nature. If you're determined to be with him, then make good plans for your life. People develop feelings for each other through interactions. If you're sincere to others, anyone who isn't blind and rotten-hearted will definitely see the good in you."
"But there's only one thing: don't let him know you have this money so quickly. It's your way out, your guarantee of a good life even if you lose anyone. With the skills you learned in the palace, once you're out, you can find a way to make a living and make a living..."
Listening to Chu Liuzheng's rambling, his words full of worry for her, Xia Qiaoru couldn't help but ask: "What about you? What are you going to do?"
