Chapter 138 She must have gotten up the wrong way
Chu Liuzheng turned over in bed and began to dig deep into the system.
[No relevant information at all... Huh? This is... Frog Fun! All of Xiao Laodeng's close associates in the capital were killed by the secret guards, and their bodies were thrown into the cesspool.]
[Ah, the cesspool's performance tonight exceeded expectations. Killing someone to silence them and then desecrating their body requires deep hatred. Could it be that the tyrant has already learned about Xiao Laodeng and his cronies' massacre of the entire village as a military achievement?]
Chu Liuzheng continued to think along this line of thought.
If that's the case, then it makes sense. Such a horrific act as massacring a village for military merit must not be made public. Otherwise, the tyrant's reputation, which had finally improved due to Zhao Yue's complaint to the emperor, would plummet to its lowest point, and the army would lose its prestige among the people.
[It's nothing when there's no war, but if a war breaks out, even the smallest hidden danger can be fatal. We can only deal with it secretly and prevent such things from happening again.]
This is the truth, but Chu Liuzheng still feels upset.
Xiao Laodeng is dead. He deserved to die, and so did his cronies. But what about the forty-plus victims? What about the villages that were massacred? What about the hundreds of lives lost? What about their grievances? What about the compensation they deserve? Is this all that matters?
The more she thought about it, the more upset she felt. But she was just a little palace maid. What else could she do no matter how angry she was?
She couldn't even tell anyone about it.
Why isn't she the emperor?
If she were the emperor, with the system's assistance, what could she not do?
Ahhhhhhhh!!!
Chu Liuzheng yelled a few times in his mind in frustration, but he didn't want to continue reviewing the situation. He tucked his head under the quilt and went to sleep!
She fell asleep, but the lights in the Yangxin Palace were on all night.
Seeing that it was time to go to court, Zhou Yuande led his people into the hall. Just as he was about to wake up, he saw the black curtain being lifted from the inside, revealing Xiao Jingfan's face, which had not slept all night.
His eyes were bloodshot, and a speck of stubble sprouted from his chin, making him look rather decadent. A faint scent of alcohol wafted from him, mixing with the ambergris in the hall, creating an inexplicably gloomy and oppressive atmosphere.
Zhou Yuande stepped forward to pick up the wine jug scattered on the bedding and bravely advised, "Nothing is more important than your Majesty's health. Your Majesty is wasting your health like this. The Empress Dowager must be heartbroken if she knows."
Xiao Jingfan glanced at him sideways, and Zhou Yuande's heart was beating like a drum, but he did not regret saying that.
Xiao Jingfan retracted his gaze and raised his hand to press his swollen and painful temple: "I want to take a bath."
Zhou Yuande was delighted and immediately ordered people to prepare.
Xiao Jingfan added, "Secretly send a set of eunuch's clothes to Nong Yunyuan and ask her to change into them and accompany the emperor."
Even Manager Zhou had never heard of such an outrageous request. He was so shocked that his eyes widened, suspecting that he had heard it wrong.
Xiao Jingfan looked at him, his eyes like ice and snow on the lake, which made Zhou Yuande shudder. He quickly responded and ordered Xiao Anzi to do it.
After a while, Xiao Anzi came into Nong Yunyuan carrying a bundle and was led into the house by Moxiang.
Chu Liuzheng, who was leaning against the bed, listened to Xiao Anzi's words, looked at the brand new eunuch uniform in the bag, suddenly slid down and lay back down.
Haha, how could the tyrant let her disguise herself as a eunuch?
She must have gotten out of bed the wrong way.
It must be...
"Miss Liu Zheng?" Xiao Anzi called out in confusion. Why did this person lie down again?
Chu Liuzheng: “…”
[Damn! This isn't a dream, it's real!]
She opened her eyes and faced reality, then sat up on the bed with her elbows, looked at Xiao Anzi, and smiled politely: "I have a question for you, Eunuch An."
"Young lady, please speak."
Chu Liuzheng looked at the eunuch uniform and asked, "Am I the only one wearing this, or are all the palace maids serving the emperor dressed like this?"
She secretly wondered if the tyrant had some unspeakable hobbies.
Xiao Anzi was taken aback by her question. He thought carefully about his master's instructions before replying, "Only one girl."
As if he was afraid that Chu Liuzheng didn't understand, he added, "Your Majesty specifically ordered it."
Chu Liuzheng: “…”
[Damn it!! Why is the tyrant targeting me, a sheep? What did I do to provoke him? I'm still a wounded soldier!!]
She cursed in her heart, but wore a polite smile on her face: "Eunuch An, do you know what His Majesty wants me to do? My hand is still injured, and I'm afraid I can't do the work. Eunuch, tell me in advance so that I can make some preparations."
Xiao Anzi didn't know either. He shook his head and said, "Miss, just follow my instructions. Please change your clothes and follow me to Wenhua Hall to wait."
Chu Liuzheng: “…”
Just change it, what else can she do to disobey the order?
Xiao Anzi went out to wait, and Moxiang helped Chu Liuzheng change his clothes.
Chu Liuzheng lowered his head and stared at Moxiang buttoning her chest. He didn't know if the clothes were too small or she had grown more, but the rise and fall of her breasts were too obvious. It was obvious that she was a girl.
[According to the tyrant, I should be disguised properly, right? This girl definitely won't do.]
She quickly stopped and asked that it be wrapped around her chest two more times, preferably tighter.
Moxiang looked up at her, went to the cupboard to get a longer and wider strip of cloth, and disguised her again.
This time after it was wrapped, it wasn't as violent, but I felt suffocated and like there was a stone pressing on my chest.
Chu Liuzheng knew that pursuing effect would not allow for comfort. When Moxiang asked her if she wanted to loosen it up, she shook her head and said, "If it's loose, it's useless."
As a woman, Moxiang naturally knew that this was uncomfortable, but since Chu Liuzheng insisted, she didn't say anything and put on makeup for her at Chu Liuzheng's request.
There is only one principle: the more common the face, the better; the more masculine it looks, the better.
"Thicken the eyebrows here, make the lips thicker, and the skin a little darker. Add some spots..."
Chu Liuzheng looked at the mirror and gave instructions. Fortunately, Moxiang was good at makeup, otherwise she really couldn't achieve the effect she wanted.
With a creak, the door opened.
Xiao Anzi, who was waiting in the yard, looked up and was stunned.
Chu Liuzheng hid his bandaged hands in his overly long sleeves. Seeing that little Anzi couldn't even move his eyes, he couldn't help but call out to him in confusion, "Eunuch An?"
Xiao Anzi was called back to her senses and stammered, "Miss, how did you become like this?"
This doesn't look like a girl at all, she's clearly a boy, a dark-skinned boy with fierce eyes and eyebrows, the most unpopular type among eunuchs.
Chu Liuzheng blinked and asked, "Isn't this His Majesty's order?"
Xiao Anzi:???
Is this what Your Majesty means?
Chu Liuzheng also knew that her current appearance was very different from her usual self. Even she herself was not used to it, let alone Xiao Anzi.
But that's the effect that camouflage is supposed to have.
She deliberately lowered her voice, trying to make it sound more neutral: "Let's go."
Xiao Anzi agreed in a daze and took Chu Liuzheng to Wenhua Palace.
Moxiang looked at the two men's backs worriedly. His Majesty suddenly asked Liu Zheng to dress up as a eunuch to accompany him. She didn't know why. She hoped nothing would happen.
