Chapter 114: Mr. Liu: Your Majesty, I Know You Are Afraid!
Jiuxiao was stunned after taking a bite, unable to move.
Two or three pieces of fat and lean pork belly that were removed from the wooden skewers were wrapped in the washed fresh leaves.
With a click, chew it with tender garlic. The sweetness of vegetables, the freshness of meat fat, and the refreshing and light garlic aroma that removes greasiness burst out at the same time.
Jiuxiao never knew that something could be so delicious.
Crisp, chewy, tender, and soft, the layers of different tastes bloomed between his lips and teeth like a flower bud.
With one bite, he almost forgot that he should leave.
"Who is it!"
The plate in front of Xiao Luzi was shaken by the skewer of pork belly that was ejected.
Minpin, who was standing farther away, saw it at a glance, raised her eyebrows and looked at the beam.
Her angry rebuke woke up the people on the beam.
Suddenly, a figure in night clothes flew away faster than her looking up.
"How dare you! Where are you running!" Concubine Min was furious. There really was a thief in her Chonghua Palace!
The guards rushed in.
"Concubine Min?"
"There's an assassin, no, there's a thief!" Concubine Min was so angry that she slammed the table.
But Concubine Liu and Cheng Gan's mouths twitched with tears and laughter.
Because Chuchu in the cradle was shocked and her heart was filled with high speed.
[Fuck! Who is this! What a fast skill! ]
[Auntie Min didn't see the other party? ]
[The guards outside heard the shouting and rushed in. The man had already left and didn't even catch the exhaust of the car. ]
[Oh, the difference in force value is too big...]
Xiao Chuchu sighed. Since she was blocked from using the system to watch live broadcasts at any time, she couldn't figure out many things.
But she was not stupid. She was shocked after a little association.
[Oh my god, this can't be the eunuch who served tea with a force value of 99? 】
"Puff... cough." Cheng Gan almost choked on a mouthful of pork belly when he heard his sister's voice, and his face flushed.
The little eunuch who was almost pressed to death at the bottom of the lake by him, is he really a master?
He didn't hear his sister's voice wrong last time.
Then why did this man cover up and not resist that day? Was it instructed by the emperor? Is this man the emperor's secret guard?
[Oh, he really didn't go out of the palace with the emperor to see the refugees, but why did he come to see us eat barbecue? 】
Xiao Chuchu's big eyes flashed, and she quickly understood.
[He is hungry, his weakness is that he is afraid of being hungry! 】
[Hey, why don't you steal others, but stare at the barbecue of Xiao Luzi next to my brother? Xiao Luzi just said that this is the second time he has come to steal his food. Was it this little eunuch with a force of 99 last time? 】
[Oh, I'm dizzy. 】
Xiao Chuchu doesn't understand.
[Emperor father is not in the palace, and the persuasion progress can also be increased? What does it mean? 】
Xiao Chuchu felt that she might be only a hair's breadth away from the truth of the matter.
Her thoughts were so dense and fast that Cheng Gan and Liu Pin felt a little dizzy.
But Cheng Gan's expression became more and more strange the more he listened.
The person that the emperor has been trying to influence recently is this eunuch serving tea?
Uh... no way.
Then the progress of the influence... is it the emperor who is doing it...?
Cheng Gan's body was a little stiff, and he recalled what he had done for the eunuch serving tea.
Saving people, delivering clothes, warming the stove, and giving him meat jerky to eat.
Now the other party is eating the meat he roasted again, and the instant noodles that Xiao Luzi was stolen last time were also made by him personally...
This, this progress of the influence is not the emperor, but he did it?
Cheng Gan sat on the stone bench for a moment, his heart beating like a drum.
But he shook his head quickly.
Impossible.
He must have thought too much.
My sister said that this is a task given to the emperor by the fairy world!

Xiao Yunzhou, who went out to visit refugees, smiled at every old, weak, woman and child in the relief hall.
He even asked them how they slept and how they ate. He was so tired that he could not stand up, and then he was reluctant to go back to the palace.
"Your Majesty has worked hard all day, go back and rest early." Several cabinet elders were so tired that they could not straighten their backs.
Wei Zheng also looked at Xiao Yunzhou with praise, "Your Majesty has worked hard."
But Xiao Yunzhou shook his head.
He was unsure.
I wonder how the reform progress is today?
As a father, he really felt ashamed of the little princess's advice. After all, he was still timid today and did not dare to order the little eunuch with a force of 99 to go out of the palace with him to come to the relief hall to see the refugees resettled.
He was afraid that the other party would not be able to control his murderous intent and kill him, the emperor, outside the palace.
Oh.
Regret.
Now that he had left the palace safely for a day, Xiao Yunzhou only had regret in his heart.
Why didn't he call the assassin out to accompany him?
He could have influenced the assassin a lot.
But now, such a great opportunity was wasted by his cowardice as an emperor!
"Ah." Xiao Yunzhou was ready to return to the palace, but there was no joy on his face, only worry.
"What is bothering the emperor? I wonder if you can tell me." Other cabinet and six ministers turned a blind eye to Xiao Yunzhou's sighs and pretended not to hear.
Only Liu Wenchang, the father of Concubine Liu who came with him today, asked Xiao Yunzhou.
"Ah, Lord Liu, you still care about me." Xiao Yunzhou looked at Liu Wenchang, who already had some white hair, and was moved.
When a person is about to die, he puts down everything of the emperor, and then he knows the preciousness of the people around him.
Look, the cabinet's first assistant Fu Cha and the second assistant Shen Mian ignored him.
Only Old Liu really cares about him.
He is worthy of being the father of Concubine Liu, and he is worthy of being half a duke!
Xiao Yunzhou was moved and said, "Mr. Liu, it just so happens that you can go to my imperial study today and we, the king and the ministers, will talk in detail all night."
Several cabinet elders and six ministers immediately took a big step back after hearing this.
Not only were they not jealous or apprehensive, but they also looked at Liu Wenchang with sympathy, their eyes filled with relief that "this kind of suffering is finally your turn."
Liu Wenchang simply could not refuse Xiao Yunzhou, so Wei Zheng arranged for him to be carried into the palace in a sedan chair.
"Master Liu, please eat more for dinner tonight."
"By the way, you still remember the story about the hanging beam, right?"
"When was the last time Mr. Liu told someone a story?" The cabinet and the six ministries all cheered and reminded Liu Wenchang.
The emperor has been so strange lately.
I don’t want to sleep on my own, but I still have to ask the minister to accompany me!
He fell asleep and wanted to wake the emperor up. What, you dare not wake up? No, you still have to poke the emperor with a bamboo pole...
If the emperor is still sleepy, that's your minister's problem.
You have to think of ways, tell stories, hang on to prod the butt, in short, keep the emperor awake!
Is this what the minister can do?
Recently, the cabinet and the six ministers have been suffering from it.
It doesn't matter if you take action against the emperor, or if you don't take action.
It's hard for them to die.
…
This inhuman suffering finally fell to the recently popular Liu Bin's turn.
Liu Bin’s father and Liu Wenchang should have had a taste long ago.
Several ministers gloated over the misfortune and winked at Liu Wenchang, saying, "Master Liu, take care, let's go back and rest first. Ah, I can finally have a good sleep today."
The corners of Liu Wenchang's mouth twitched.
He had heard about the emperor's recent strange problems when he went to court.
Not only that, he knew more.
If the emperor doesn't sleep, he's probably doing his 'immortal mission'!
Liu Chan Niang would organize female workers to sew winter clothes outside the palace every single day, and would sometimes tell her mother Liu about the fairy's little princess's innermost thoughts.
Liu Wenchang had heard about it a long time ago.
In the past two days, Xiao Yunzhou was trying to reform a person.
According to what my daughter said, she was probably trying to influence the important officials left behind by the late emperor.
Liu Wenchang believed it at first and didn't want to interfere too much, but today he felt something was not right!
"Your Majesty, when I saw you serving porridge today, my eyes were full of worry. Not only did I sigh, my forehead would sweat from time to time, and my face turned pale."
When he arrived at the Imperial Study Room and lit the night lamp, Liu Wenchang finally couldn't help but ask Xiao Yunzhou.
"I am really worried, but what is wrong with the Emperor?"
Xiao Yunzhou doesn't look like a reformer, he looks scared at all!
Liu Wenchang was worried that the emperor's mishandling would affect the safety of his daughter, granddaughter, and grandson, so he had to ask questions!
The emperor can't do it, at least there is him!
"I want to share the emperor's worries."
Xiao Yunzhou was so moved that he didn't know what to say, "Hey, looking up, among all the civil and military officials in the court, the only one who loves and cares about me like a junior is you, Mr. Liu."
Liu Wenchang lowered his head with a guilty conscience.
But Xiao Yunzhou's next words made him a little stunned.
"Mr. Liu, you are one of our own, I'll just tell you that."
"There is a powerful assassin from the former dynasty in my palace who wants to kill me."
"Don't ask me how I know this!" Xiao Yunzhou whispered in Liu Wenchang's ear, lowering his voice for fear of being heard.
Liu Wenchang opened his mouth.
Why.
He won't ask.
How do you know?
My granddaughter told me!
"I have worked hard recently and have conquered most of them."
"But the other party still has murderous intent, and I don't know what to do."
Liu Wenchang suddenly became serious, "Do you know who it is? Is there any possibility of peace talks?"
Peace talks?
Xiao Yunzhou was stunned.
