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

[No, why are you asking? 】

[If I said no, I didn’t, would you believe it? 】

[How about you two discuss it first? I'm afraid I can't help but curse. 】

Cheng Jin thought this in his heart, but still had a respectful expression on his face.

She was at a disadvantage now, and it would not be a wise choice if she really had a conflict with Xu Jilin.

Even though he knew that Xu Jilin would not believe her words, Cheng Jin still said negative words.

Cheng Jin explained seriously to Xu Jilin: "Of course not, my concubine and Lord Pei have nothing to do with each other."

"I just happened to see you when I went to the emperor's place. I was cured by Master Pei when I fainted earlier, so we walked together and said a few words. It was not like what Hui Gui said."

"If the Queen Mother doesn't believe it, you can also invite the emperor to ask."

Of course Xu Jilin knew what Cheng Jin was planning. If Chu Chengye was really attracted, Cheng Jin would have a chance to escape.

Xu Jilin shook her head slightly with a headache, then pointed at Qu Wanxin and said, "Say."

Qu Wan was so happy that she argued with Cheng Jin. Today was the rare time for her to catch Cheng Jin's mistakes. She must take this opportunity to give Cheng Jin a hard blow.

"Concubine Rong, are you saying that I wronged you?"

Cheng Jin raised his eyebrows slightly and said calmly: "You must know better than me whether I am unjust or not."

Qu Wanxin sneered at Cheng Jin, and she continued: "Concubine Rong wants to get rid of herself and be suspected, so she must find a good excuse."

"Why don't you talk when you have so much time during the day? Where can't you talk? You have to go to this remote place in the dead of night, and it's just the two of you. Who will believe you if you say you're just talking?"

Xu Jilin nodded towards Qu Wanxin.

As long as Qu Wan insists on this point, Cheng Jin's explanation will be useless.

It is already a serious sin to meet a foreigner in private, let alone in the privacy of the harem.

Before Cheng Jin could speak, Qu Wanxin stepped in and said, "Besides, you are really talking. Why don't you see Concubine Rong with a maid by her side? Could it be that the maid can interrupt your conversation? I'm afraid she's not doing something shameful. Let’s do it.”

Qu Wanxin showed a provocative expression towards Cheng Jin.

Cheng Jin gritted his teeth secretly, unable to think of any words to defend himself.

Pei Yu stepped forward and stood to salute Xu Jilin.

"The Queen Mother has been troubled by headaches for a long time?"

Xu Jilin opened her eyes in confusion. She didn't know why Pei Yu suddenly said this, but she still nodded.

"I heard that you have excellent medical skills, but do you have any ideas?"

Pei Yu took out the medical tools he carried with him and said: "The empress's headache is too stubborn, and Wei Chen really has no cure, but Wei Chen can give it a try for the Queen Mother."

Everyone present looked confused. What Qu Wanxin was talking about was clearly the dirty things between Cheng Jin and Pei Yu. Why didn't Pei Yu seem to be affected at all? Instead, he changed the topic to Xu Jilin and wanted to do something for her. Cure?

What does Pei Yu want to do?

Cheng Jin glanced at Pei Yu. Pei Yu saw it and smiled gently at Cheng Jin.

I don't know why, but Cheng Jin really wasn't so impatient anymore and watched Pei Yu's movements.

Xu Jilin remained dubious about Pei Yu's words.

What Pei Yu said was indeed true. She had often suffered from headaches since she was young, but with Su Shen helping her take care of her, it was no big deal. However, in the past few years, the situation has become more and more serious.

Su Shen tried his best, but there was no good solution. Xu Jilin had to suffer from this pain every few days.

She trusted Su Shen, and even more trusted Su Shen's medical skills, but Pei Yu could see her illness at a glance, and Xu Jilin was indeed somewhat impressed by Pei Yu.

Maybe she really couldn't stand the headache anymore. Xu Jilin was only thinking about how to relieve it. She moved her hands and asked Pei Yu to come forward.

Qu Wanxin wanted to say something more, but Xu Jilin gave her a warning look.

She now has a splitting headache and doesn't want to worry about anything. She just wants to get rid of her headache as soon as possible.

Pei Yu put a square scarf on Xu Jilin's wrist and took Xu Jilin's pulse.

Pei Yu said: "This is a serious disease inherited from my youth. It was not a big deal at the beginning. If I took good care of it, it can be cured."

Xu Jilin frowned slightly.

How can it be?

She had Su Shen by her side all the time. If she had any ailments, she would ask Su Shen to take care of her directly. She would just say it was a headache. Su Shen also took a lot of medicines for herself, but it never showed any results.

Later, Xu Jilin was busy fighting in the harem, so she forgot about this matter, and her body was always taken care of by Su Shen. She trusted Su Shen extremely, and she took whatever medicine Su Shen gave her.

However, Xu Jilin stopped taking it after it became useless, and now she often has headaches late at night and cannot sleep until dawn.

Pei Yu saw the expression on Xu Jilin's face, put away his handkerchief, and continued: "I wonder if your Majesty can let me see what medicine your Majesty usually takes?"

Xu Jilin nodded and asked someone to find the medicine that she didn't drink on weekdays.

Pei Yu took the medicine bag in his hand seriously, twisted it in his hand, and then put it on the tip of his nose and asked.

Pei Yu raised his head and looked at Xu Jilin, "Did I get the wrong one?"

Xu Jilin was even more confused now.

Pei Yu explained: "These are all ordinary tonics, and there are no medicinal materials that are useful for headaches."

Xu Jilin retorted: "How is it possible to go?"

She had been taking Su Shen's prescription for decades. This was a headache medicine prescribed to her by Su Shen himself. How could it be just an ordinary tonic?

Xu Jilin felt vaguely uneasy. She sat up straight and stared at a certain place with uneasy eyes.

Xu Jilin suddenly thought of something. She waved her hand and called Juxiang to come and get something.

Ju Xiang agreed and quickly fetched the things.

Cheng Jin looked over and saw a medicine bag that looked like it had been there for a long time. Some of the medicinal ingredients had leaked out.

Xu Jilin handed the medicinal materials to Pei Yu's hand without saying anything, but Pei Yu understood.

He examined the package as before.

Xu Jilin stared at Pei Yu closely, as if trying to get what she wanted to hear from Pei Yu's mouth.

But Pei Yu still disappointed her. Xu Jilin looked at Pei Yu shaking his head, and her heart felt like it fell to the bottom of ice.

Pei Yu said: "The previous packet was just an ordinary tonic, but this one induces headaches. My queen has been suffering from headaches for many years, and she cannot touch this kind of medicine."

After listening to Pei Yu's words, Xu Jilin slammed the tea set in her hand to the ground, making a violent sound.

Xu Jilin was so angry that she couldn't breathe smoothly.

She really couldn't believe it.

She couldn't believe that Su Shen, whom she had always trusted, would harm her, or from Pei Yu's mouth, the person she wanted to directly execute tonight.

What a big "surprise" for myself.
