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

This was not the first time that Pei Yu took the initiative to find him.

Ever since he invited Pei Yu to the capital to work for him as an official in the court, Pei Yu had been running particularly diligently.

Chu Chengye could see that Pei Yu was not concerned about state affairs and had nothing to talk to Chu Chengye. He only cared about Cheng Jin who came to Jingyang Palace from time to time.

When he couldn't meet him, Pei Yu would leave as soon as he came, without showing a single expression during the whole process. If he happened to meet Cheng Jin, Pei Yu would find some opportunities to stay a little longer, or really give Chu Chengye some ideas. , Cheng Jin showed another look.

When Cheng Jin's excitement at Chu Chengye's place wears off, when it's time to leave, Pei Yu will follow, and the two of them can walk alone.

Chu Chengye saw Pei Yu's little thoughts and mentioned it to Cheng Jin hintingly. Although Cheng Jin didn't say anything, he said in his heart that Chu Chengye was overthinking and everything was just a coincidence. How could an upright person like Pei Yu be possible? Do something like this.

Think too much?

Chu Chengye really thought that he was overthinking.

But every time Pei Yu looked at Cheng Jin, his eyes were full of nostalgia, and only a dull person like Cheng Jin couldn't tell.

They secretly talked and Chu Chengye could pretend to be generous and say nothing, but this time Pei Yu went directly to Chu Chengye.

When he came up, he spoke directly to Chu Chengye without any concealment.

"I will take Xiaojin to the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival."

Chu Chengye sat beside the case and raised his eyes slightly from the memorial, looking unconcerned.

"Master Pei, you are very brave."

There was a faint smile on Chu Chengye's face, but the hand holding the memorial was harder than before, and his fingertips turned white.

Chu Chengye really couldn't pretend anymore. He threw the memorials in his hands aside and bumped into the memorials stacked on top of the table, stacking them up randomly.

"Cheng Jin is my noble concubine, and you can also call me Xiao Jin?"

"Before, I sat back and ignored her because I thought you and Concubine Rong were acquainted. Now how dare you call Concubine Rong's name so affectionately in front of me."

"Don't think that you can have no scruples after you detoxify me. How can I allow you to be so presumptuous in front of me!"

Pei Yu didn't change his expression at Chu Chengye's threat, "If just a title can be regarded as arrogant, then I have been arrogant for many years."

"I'm afraid the emperor doesn't know that we had already made a lifelong commitment before Xiaojin entered the palace. If it's a matter of first come, first served, I'm afraid it's not the emperor who is superfluous."

"You! Do you really think that I don't dare to kill you?"

After hearing Pei Yu's words, Chu Chengye couldn't help but stood up suddenly and pointed at Pei Yu.

Pei Yu raised his eyes and glanced at Chu Chengye, and said in a calm tone: "The emperor can decree that I should die, but the news will probably reach Xiaojin soon. When the minister is dead, Xiaojin will probably resent the emperor for the rest of his life. , when the time comes to accuse the Emperor of being violent, cruel, and murderous, I am afraid that the Emperor will never be able to clear his name in front of Xiaojin for the rest of his life."

"If I die, Xiaojin will definitely keep him in her heart for the rest of her life. It seems good."

"Your Majesty, don't blame me for not reminding you. Your only chance will be gone by then."

Pei Yu continued: "I don't know why Xiaojin changed his mind, or what shameful means the emperor used to keep Xiaojin in the palace, but I don't care, as long as it's Xiaojin."

Chu Chengye retorted: "Cheng Jin is my noble concubine."

Pei Yu raised his eyes to look at Chu Chengye, his eyes full of hostility and provocation, "I can tell that the emperor has other thoughts about Xiaojin, but your Majesty, forceful melons are not sweet."

"Xiaojin will not be willing to stay in this palace for the rest of her life, and she will definitely not be willing to be in this cage for you."

"If the emperor really wants Xiaojin to be happy, he might as well let go of her early and give her her freedom."

Chu Chengye met Pei Yu's gaze. Although he did not give in at all, it contained a guilty conscience and uncertainty.

He couldn't say anything to refute.

After all, what Pei Yu said is indeed true.

Cheng Jin has expressed in his heart more than once that he will never stay in this palace for the rest of his life. He was previously afraid that he would be forced to be buried if Chu Chengye died.

But it's not the case now. She just wants to leave. After everything is explained, Cheng Jin will definitely bring up the idea of ​​leaving.

He could indeed trap Cheng Jin in the palace for a lifetime as Pei Yu said, but when he thought of Cheng Jin wilting and losing energy every day, Chu Chengye knew that he couldn't do it.

Even if it was true, Chu Chengye was still unwilling to bow in front of Pei Yu, and he still looked that bad.

"Master Pei doesn't need to worry about my affairs with Concubine Rong."

Pei Yu ignored Chu Chengye's words, "Xiao Jin has already said that she wants to join me at the Lantern Festival during the Lantern Festival, and I also ask the emperor to make it happen."

How could Chu Chengye do it? He didn't nod or shake his head, he just drove Pei Yu out.

"I'm tired, please leave first."

Pei Yu had already seen what Chu Chengye meant, and he bowed slightly to Chu Chengye.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will wait for Xiaojin outside the palace gate on the Lantern Festival."

After leaving these words, Pei Yu turned and left, leaving only an angry Chu Chengye.

He watched Pei Yu's leaving figure, and slowly tightened his hand holding the corner of the table, making a sound in his joints.

Finally, unable to bear it anymore, Chu Chengye directly raised his hand and overturned the table in front of him.

There was chaos in the main hall, and Chu Chengye's anger did not diminish at all.

He wondered if he had gone too far.

How did he become like this?

Previously, Chu Chengye only knew what he wanted and would use any means to get the person back, regardless of whether she wanted it or not.

Chu Chengye really couldn't figure out why he liked someone but pushed her to others, as long as she was happy.

But when I think of Cheng Jin, I feel that she should be treated like this.

He couldn't do anything to force Cheng Jin.

Chu Chengye sat there alone for a long time. Until late at night, no candles were lit, and the room was dark.

Chu Chengye couldn't figure it out, he really couldn't figure it out.

Why is it so hard to like someone?

Why do you have to think of Cheng Jin first before doing anything, whether she will like it or not.

Chu Chengye raised his hand and grabbed his hair, and accidentally touched the braids that Zheng Jin had braided for him in Jingyang Palace yesterday.

Hanging on his chest.

Chu Chengye deliberately avoided this braid when he tied his hair today. He paid special attention to it even when sleeping, wanting to keep this braid longer.

He raised his hand and gently touched the braid, as if it still retained the warmth of Cheng Jin's hand.

Why doesn't Cheng Jin have any possibility of choosing himself?

Chu Chengye was still looking forward to coming to Jingyang Palace today. He wanted to hear uninformed words or negative words from Cheng Jin's mouth.

But he didn't hear it.

Cheng Jin happily jumped out of Jingyang Palace and told Chu Chengye.

Everything Pei Yu said was true.
