After listening to my voice, the villain became addicted to the plot

How could Cheng Jin answer this question wrong? She shook her head quickly.

"How could it be? I, my concubine, can't sleep without seeing the emperor."

Chu Chengye snorted softly from his nose and ignored it.

Cheng Jin didn't know why Chu Chengye said this suddenly. He thought about it and said, "Why did you suddenly want to stop me from coming?"

Before, Chu Chengye found every opportunity to keep her by his side to torture her.

what happened?

Was he really taken away?

Chu Chengye thought about what happened today, and then told Cheng Jin everything.

"The Wu Ren we went to see today is not who Chu Huaian said, he is just a charlatan."

"The "Wu Ren" that Chu Huai'an really needs has long been renamed by Chu Huai'an and has been sent to his own camp."

Cheng Jin said in surprise: "How could it be? I heard with my own ears that Hui Gui wanted the fifth prince to recruit Wu Ren into his camp as soon as possible."

"Hui Gui has no reason to lie to the Fifth Prince."

Cheng Jin knew something that Hui Gui knew. When she told Wu Ren, Cheng Jin had some doubts, but she thought she had remembered it wrong. She didn't expect that she had fallen into Hui Gui's trap.

Cheng Jin finally understood, and she said to Chu Chengye: "I guess Hui Gui and the Fifth Prince didn't know anything about me hiding in the dark that day. They knew where I was hiding, so they deliberately said these words to trick me."

Chu Chengye nodded, "I guess Chu Huaian also knows that I am following not far away. He knows that when you see me, you will definitely tell me what you heard."

"He was determined that I would find this Wu Ren before him, so he deliberately revealed this information to you."

Cheng Jin was hiding in the dark, and his heart was almost scared out of his chest. What came to his ears was only the conversation between Chu Huai'an and Qu Wanxin. How could he see the two people exchanging glances and joining forces to deceive her.

Chu Chengye continued: "When I asked you to come here this morning, Chu Huai'an probably had already figured out that I would take you out of the palace, so the Queen Mother came to test you again and again."

Cheng Jin said: "I wonder why the Queen Mother suddenly gave me some fruit."

Cheng Jin pinched a piece of fruit, put the thing in front of his eyes, and looked around.

Chu Chengye also followed Cheng Jin's gaze.

This fruit is indeed fresh, he has never seen it before.

But why does it look familiar? It seems like I have seen it somewhere before?

Cheng Jin shook his head and put the fruit back.

Although she loves to eat these things, Xu Jilin gave them to her, and even if she had a hundred courages, she would not dare to eat them.

A person as capable and scheming as Xu Jilin, and with a miracle doctor like Su Shen behind her, even if she was given medicine, she would still be able to do it perfectly. She would probably die from the poison by then.

Chu Chengye glanced at Cheng Jin a little strangely, "What? You don't like to eat?"

Cheng Jin shook his head.

[Co-authored: Don’t you know who the Queen Mother is? 】

[It’s not that I don’t like it, it’s that I simply don’t dare. 】

Chu Chengye lowered his eyes and looked at her, lost in thought.

Chu Chengye only knew that Xu Jilin was more partial to Chu Huai'an and liked Chu Huai'an more.

But he is also Xu Jilin's child, and he doesn't believe that Xu Jilin would do such a thing to him.

It was Xu Jilin who saved her life several times. If Xu Jilin hadn't recognized her when she returned to Beijing, I might not have even had a chance to speak in front of the late emperor.

Xu Jilin said that she owed herself and had high hopes for herself. If she was helpless, why wouldn't she want to keep her by her side.

On the day he ascended the throne, Xu Jilin told him clearly, "You and An'er will both be happy if you and An'er ascend the throne. I just hope that you, brothers and sisters, will respect each other and don't go to the point of fratricide."

Chu Chengye came down almost without thinking.

At that time, foreign enemies at the border took advantage of the civil strife in Southern Qi to invade. If Chu Chengye had a head-on confrontation with Chu Huai'an again, most of the people in the court at that time were members of the Five Princes' Party. He would not get much benefit, and foreign enemies would take the opportunity to attack Southern Qi.

In fact, it was not only because of these, but also because Chu Chengye felt that he owed Xu Jilin a lot. He forced the palace to rebel and forced the late emperor to hang himself and abdicate. Even so, he never heard a word from Xu Jilin saying that he No.

Xu Jilin is his biological mother. Even though Xu Jilin was less present when he was young, she is Chu Chengye's only memory.

I heard from the nuns in the palace that Xu Jilin saved her many times from the hands of the late emperor. When the late emperor asked Chu Chengye to replace Chu Huai'an and go to the feudal country as a hostage, she tried her best to stop her. Although she failed, that was the only thing Xu Jilin could do for herself. Things to do.

Chu Chengye didn't believe that Xu Jilin might have poisoned the plate of fruit.

Chu Chengye said nothing, pinched a piece of fruit, put it into his mouth, and almost swallowed it directly.

The sharp edges of the fruit scratched his throat, and he swallowed it without tasting the sweetness. Chu Chengye frowned, eager to know something.

The crumbs of the fruit entered Chu Chengye's trachea with Chu Chengye's unsteady breathing, causing him to hold the table and cough violently.

Cheng Jin didn't know that Chu Chengye suddenly made this move. When he saw Chu Chengye coughing, his face turned red, and he immediately handed him tea to calm him down.

"What happened?"

Chu Chengye just shook his head and said lightly: "I like to eat this fruit, so just keep it here."

Cheng Jin was stunned for a moment and nodded quickly.

"it is good."

However, Cheng Jin was still wondering, what did Chu Chengye taste like when he ate it just now?

good to eat?

Cheng Jin took another look at the plate of delicate-looking fruits and wanted to reach out to touch one, but Chu Chengye knocked his hand away.

"You have already given it to me, you are not allowed to eat it."

"mean."

Cheng Jin touched his sore hand and said resentfully: "I know, shouldn't I just eat one? There are so many on that plate."

"Not one is allowed." Chu Chengye said.

Cheng Jin curled his lips.

Chu Chengye said: "Tomorrow you will take advantage of your illness to recuperate in Chunhe Palace. You are not allowed to leave Chunhe Palace. You will sleep and eat. I will replace your small kitchen with a group of trustworthy people."

"Ah?" Cheng Jin felt a little sad after the surprise.

"It's a bit depressing to not be able to go out in such a small place like Chunhe Palace every day. Besides, I just told you a few days ago that I'm going to give you a united front, so I'm going to retreat at home today. It's not good."

Although Cheng Jin was happy to lock herself away in Chunhe Palace and not participate in the overt and covert struggles of those people, she had already seen clearly that she had no way to escape while she was in the harem.

"Chu Huai'an has returned to Beijing now, and the Queen Mother is in the harem again. The Queen Mother must have summoned him from time to time, and the Queen Mother would have to give him advice. He deliberately let you hear that day, and he also knew that I was not far away and did not dare to take action. If If you bump into him accidentally again in the future, Chu Huaian will inevitably do something outrageous."

"Now that Chu Huai'an is trying so hard to win over people in the previous dynasty, he can't help but create trouble for me. I guess I am too busy to take care of you here."

"It's better to stay in Chunhe Palace. I will send more secret guards to guard there. If I want to discuss something with you, I will go to Chunhe Palace to find you at midnight."
