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

Chu Huaian calmed down and asked Yan Zheng for help.

"Mr. Yan, although there are not many concubines in the harem, how easy is it to get Wan Xin to be favored? Nowadays, Concubine Rong is the favorite of the Sixth Palace. It may not be easy to change the emperor's heart."

Yan Zheng said: "The emperor's previous behavior is very different from now, especially after favoring Concubine Rong. It must be Concubine Rong who is making plans behind the scenes. Although I don't know how she got the information, I have to be careful."

"Even if Miss Qu can't get the Holy Favor, the two of them will still have to hate each other."

"Let's talk about methods. The women in the harem use all kinds of methods to win favor. The Queen Mother must know it best after she has been in the palace for so many years."

"You just need to tell the Queen Mother about this, she will definitely have a way."

Chu Huaian nodded silently.

Now this method is also a foolproof strategy.

He felt sorry for Qu Wanxin, but in order for her to sit on the throne of Southern Qi, someone had to sacrifice.

As Yan Zheng said, this method is the least costly.

Chu Huai'an secretly promised in his heart that if Wan Xin was really favored by Chu Chengye and she was working for him after all, he would not treat Wan Xin any differently.

What he originally wanted to do was to use the surrender of the ministers in the DPRK, Fu Hong to advise him, the people of Southern Qi, and the Xu Jiajun under Xu Fenghui to find a suitable time to instigate Chu Chengye.

Everything will fall into place, but he doesn't know what went wrong, and things are slowly getting out of his control.

There were not many available people among the officials in the court who favored him. Fu Hong was suspected by Chu Chengye and had been staying in the mansion because of his illness. Although he sometimes discussed with him how to deploy troops, it was of no use.

Although the Xu family army was not under Chu Chengye's jurisdiction, I don't know what happened now. Civil strife suddenly broke out, and Xu Fenghui spent a lot of energy to suppress it.

Chu Chengye immediately became popular among the people. Ever since Chu Chengye confiscated Gao Changhai's family, lowered taxes, carried out executions, and strictly investigated officials who used their positions to bully the people, the trend in the people's mouths has changed, and everyone is full of praise for Chu Chengye.

And he seemed to be always at a disadvantage.

If the current situation really continues to develop, I'm afraid he will never have the chance to make a move.

No.

Absolutely not.

Chu Huaian secretly swore in his heart:

He, Chu Huai'an, will definitely get back everything that should belong to him at all costs.

Then there is no need to regret having to give up something in the process.

As for Cheng Jin, just being favored can make Chu Chengye change so much. He noticed that Chu Chengye had been deceived before, and had such great ability to turn the situation around. He really underestimated her.

Cheng Jin, who was currently in Chunhe Palace, sneezed hard.

Cheng Jin rubbed his cold and red nose uncomfortably.

Cuizhu immediately gathered up Cheng Jin's cloak and said, "Madam, the New Year is approaching and the weather is getting colder. Madam, you still have to pay attention to your health, so as not to be unable to attend the New Year's Eve banquet."

Cheng Jin walked to the house holding the hairpin in his hand, and said after a long pause: "It's better if I really can't go. Now that the Ningzhou trade issue has caused such a big fuss, and the post of Shipping Department is vacant, I'm afraid it won't be needed again. What happened?"

Cuizhu nodded and said, "That's what I said, but you have to go to the New Year's Eve banquet as usual. Unless you are really sick and can't get out of bed, there is no way to shirk it."

Cheng Jin put the hairpin on the table, looked at himself in the mirror and said, "I know I can't get rid of it, so let's go watch the fun."

"Although the trade issue in Ningzhou has made Chu Huai'an uneasy, I guess the fifth prince must have realized that those who submitted to him are not useful people."

"Previously, the emperor found out that the prince has recruited a counselor named Yan Zheng recently. I am afraid he has already given him an idea."

Suddenly a Yan Zheng appeared, probably "Wu Ren" who changed his name.

"Now we can only wait and see what happens."

Cuizhu nodded seriously and noticed the hairpin on the table.

Cuizhu was a little surprised and said: "Isn't this the hairpin that the empress lost earlier? Where did you find it?"

Cheng Jin said: "Jingyang Palace."

"Where is the emperor?" Cuizhu was a little confused, "But the empress has not been to Jingyang Palace for a long time. Although this hairpin has been lost for a long time, I remember that I brought it back when I went to Jingyang Palace for the last time. It was obviously lost in our palace, how could it be found in Jingyang Palace?"

"It can't be the emperor..."

Cheng Jin looked at Cuizhu and said seriously: "I didn't expect it, but the emperor actually stole it."

Cuizhu: "..."

"The Emperor doesn't have anything valuable, so why would he care about this hairpin? It must be because the Emperor sees that it is the one that the Queen wears most often, and he and the Queen were not seen very often during that time, so he would think about using this hairpin to look at things." Human.”

"The emperor's feelings for the empress are truly profound and profound."

Cheng Jin looked at Cuizhu and curled his lips at her analysis, "How could you tell?"

Cheng Jin said firmly: "I think the emperor stole it."

Cuizhu was silent for a while before saying, "No, my dear."

Of course Cheng Jin knew that Chu Chengye took it on purpose, and also knew that it was the one she carried most often. It was impossible for Chu Chengye to sleep on it every day like what she and Chu Zhurui said.

It is true that I miss people when I see things.

It's not like Cheng Jin didn't know anything.

She deliberately pretended not to understand in front of Chu Chengye, but Chu Zhurui really helped her a lot and made Chu Chengye faint.

Although she didn't get the hairpin back from Chu Chengye's hand the first time, she still stole it back when Chu Chengye wasn't paying attention.

First, it must be because Cheng Jin really feels sorry for such a good thing, and second, she doesn't want Chu Chengye to have this kind of nostalgia for her.

Although she decided to help Chu Chengye now and was on the same pirate ship as Chu Chengye, she couldn't even think about developing a relationship with Chu Chengye.

Now Chu Chengye needs her, relies on her, misses her, and can't live without her.

But if all difficulties are really eliminated and everything is peaceful, how can Chu Chengye, as the majestic king of a country, be willing to let her live alone.

The education Cheng Jin received from an early age was based on the idea of ​​monogamy. She could not accept her partner at all. She was not the only one with her husband.

Cheng Jin didn't have the ability to make Chu Chengye just look at her for the rest of his life.

So she has no extravagant hopes or expectations.

Instead of being betrayed and disappointed in the future, and then tearing those oaths of vows to pieces and making it look ugly to both of them, it would be better not to start at all.

Cheng Jin could see clearly.

If you don't get into it, you won't get hurt.

The New Year's Eve banquet was held as usual, and this was the first such lively day in Cheng Jin's life.

There was a heavy snowfall that day, and the heavy snow covered every part of the palace. The red palace was pressed under a sheet of white snow, which seemed to cover many ugly crimes and became pure and flawless.

There seems to be less intrigue in the palace on this day, and everyone is sincerely waiting for the arrival of the new year.

Except for some people who are full of concerns today.
