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

Chu Chengye looked at Xu Jilin in front of him coldly, "Mother, aren't you going to give me an explanation?"

Seeing that it was Chu Chengye, Xu Jilin couldn't stand the cruel expression on her face.

She obviously had the door of Shou'an Palace closed early, just to make it difficult for Cheng Jin and Pei Yu to fly.

That's why when Cheng Jin suddenly rioted and wanted to run away, Xu Jilin ordered someone to arrest her.

Xu Jilin really didn't expect Chu Chengye to come.

Xu Jilin put away her previous fierce expression and looked at Chu Chengye in front of her.

Xu Jilin looked like an elder queen mother and said, "Explain what?"

"Concubine Rong had a private meeting with a foreign man in the harem late at night. She did not abide by women's ethics and caused chaos in the palace. The Ai family was just reorganizing the harem for the emperor."

Xu Jilin softened her attitude, "Does the emperor not even believe in the Ai family?"

Chu Chengye glanced at Cheng Jin who was behind him. Cheng Jin was still in shock and held Chu Chengye's hand tightly.

As if aware of Chu Chengye's gaze, Cheng Jin raised his head and looked at Chu Chengye.

She shook her head at Chu Chengye, hinting that Chu Chengye should not believe Xu Jilin's words.

[No, don’t believe her. I didn't really do anything. 】

Chu Chengye held Cheng Jin's hand tightly.

Chu Chengye turned around and said to Xu Jilin: "Even if the queen mother is in charge of the harem, she must pay attention to evidence. Is it possible to convict Concubine Rong just based on the queen mother's words? Is this too hasty and unfair?"

Chu Chengye paused for a moment and then continued: "It is unknown whether the queen mother deliberately embarrassed Concubine Rong."

"what?"

Xu Jilin seemed a little unbelievable that Chu Chengye would say such things to her.

"what?"

Although the relationship between Chu Chengye and Xu Jilin is not very good, there is still a biological mother connection between them. Even if Chu Chengye is indifferent, he always respects Xu Jilin, and there is almost no such face-to-face rebuttal.

Chu Chengye said: "My mother always lived peacefully in the harem before and didn't care about worldly affairs. Why does she care about my affairs this time?"

Xu Jilin was a little frustrated. She said calmly: "The emperor is right. The Ai family is not willing to take care of these matters. The matter of Concubine Rong is not only the emperor's business, but also concerns the majesty and face of the royal family. How can the Ai family tolerate Rong?" The imperial concubine did such a thing?"

"Even if the emperor loves Concubine Rong again, she should be a little out of line."

"You haven't been in the palace for long, so it's normal that you don't understand the rules. But if Concubine Rong does such a thing, you can no longer protect her. If word spreads, it will be bad for the emperor's appearance."

"According to the previous rules in the palace, Concubine Rong and Pei Yu must die,"

"The Ai family is also doing this to help you. I hope the emperor will consider the relationship."

Chu Chengye couldn't help but sneered and played with the ring in his hand casually.

"What are rules? I am the rules."

"What I did when I ascended the throne was treasonous and unethical. Does my mother also want to execute me?"

Xu Jilin was a little surprised that Chu Chengye would suddenly ask this question, comparing him to Cheng Jin. How could they be compared?

Chu Chengye is the emperor of the world, and no matter how much Chu Chengye loves Cheng Jin, she is just a concubine in the harem and an accessory of the royal family. How can she be compared with Chu Chengye.

Although Xu Jilin was dissatisfied with Chu Chengye's rebellion and usurpation of the throne, she would never say this in front of Chu Chengye.

Xu Jilin explained: "The emperor is the emperor, how can this be the same?"

"Why is it different?" Chu Chengye stared at Xu Jilin closely and said, "Could it be that the queen mother admitted that she was indeed biased against Concubine Rong and made such a play for me?"

The way Chu Chengye looked at Xu Jilin was different from before.

In the past, Chu Chengye did not have much mother-son affection for Xu Jilin, so even though he called Xu Jilin his mother, his eyes never showed any extra emotion. He and Xu Jilin also had no extra affection, and they could break up at will no matter what happened. of.

Xu Jilin had long known about Chu Chengye's cool temperament, and had always wanted to let Chu Huai'an ascend the throne.

Chu Huaian is completely different from Chu Chengye. Chu Huaian has been raised by Xu Jilin since he was a child. Xu Jilin taught Chu Huaian every word and deed. She can control Chu Huaian, but she cannot influence Chu Chengye's behavior at all.

Chu Chengye was like a beast that had never been tamed. Although Chu Chengye put away his fangs and called Xu Jilin his mother, Xu Jilin also knew that if Chu Chengye knew something she had done, he would tear her into pieces without hesitation.

Xu Jilin was essentially afraid of Chu Chengye's power, so she could only temporarily use family ties to close her relationship with Chu Chengye.

Seeing Chu Chengye's cold expression, Xu Jilin was indeed a little nervous.

Xu Jilin said nervously: "No."

"Since it's not the case, and the Queen Mother has no evidence, does this mean that she is unjustly accusing Concubine Rong?"

Xu Jilin was speechless. She didn't want to reduce Chu Chengye's trust in him because of this incident. Xu Jilin could only blame Qu Wanxin.

Xu Jilin just moved her eyes to Qu Wanxin and said nothing.

Chu Chengye quickly realized something and turned around to look at Qu Wanxin who was kneeling on the ground.

"Do you have evidence to prove it?" Chu Chengye said harshly: "If you don't give me a reasonable explanation, I won't be able to spare you."

Qu Wanxin noticed the eyes that were falling on her one after another, and knew that she couldn't hide them, so she could only explain herself.

"Reporting to the Emperor, Concubine Rong was indeed brought to Shou'an Palace by my concubine."

Chu Chengye pulled Cheng Jin to sit on a chair beside him, holding Cheng Jin's hand with no intention of letting go.

He held his chin with one hand and cast his eyes lazily on Qu Wanxin, as if he didn't care at all about what she had to say, and was even impatient.

Qu Wanxin said:

"I saw Concubine Rong and Lord Pei in a secluded place late at night, and I don't know what they were doing."

"I remember the teachings in the palace and it is forbidden for outsiders to enter the harem, let alone late at night, so I asked Concubine Rong to come to Shou'an Palace to let the Queen Mother make a decision."

As if she was afraid that Chu Chengye wouldn't believe it, Qu Wanxin used the palace maid who had been with her to defend herself.

"But it's not that I don't have evidence. I have witnesses."

Qu Wanxin saw the palace maid kneeling in front of her, and then she explained with peace of mind: "I was not the only one who saw it at that time, but also the palace maids around me also saw it. The appearance of Concubine Rong and Master Pei at that time was really... Makes you suspicious.”

Chu Chengye raised his eyebrows slightly after hearing Qu Wanxin's words, and raised his finger slightly to point at the palace maid.

"Huigui said you saw it too, what did you see?"

The palace maid kowtowed deeply to Chu Chengye, without even raising her head. Her body was trembling, and she couldn't speak for a long time.

Chu Chengye sat up straight and looked at the master and servant kneeling in front of him.

He said: "Just tell me, I only want the truth and I won't blame you."
