Chu Chaochao casually pulled off a particularly delicate hairpin from his head and waved it in front of Cheng Jin. "If you find it first, I will give this hairpin to you."

Cheng Jin looked at Chu Chaochao's movements and said nothing, but looked at the hairpin in Chu Chaochao's hand.

Chu Chaochao noticed Cheng Jin's gaze and said with some pride: "This is a reward given to my mother by the former Empress Dowager. It is a great honor."

"If you win, I will give you this hairpin."

Although this thing is good, its origin is unusual after all, and Cheng Jin has no intention of taking it.

Seeing Cheng Jin's hesitant look, Chu Chaochao became a little impatient, "This is the only thing I can do in the palace now. If you don't like it, can you wait until I get to Yingchuan to find more new things for you?" "

Cheng Jin's original intention was not to win or lose, but to find Chu Chengye.

Cheng Jin nodded.

Seeing Cheng Jin nodded, Chu Chaochao smiled and said, "Then it's settled."

"But if you lose, you will play with me every day after the emperor leaves the capital, no matter when."

Chu Chaochao continued, mentally calculating how many days it would take for Chu Chengye to leave Beijing and how long she would stay with Chu Ying in the palace.

The palace was extremely deserted. When everyone saw Chu Chaochao, they either nodded or bowed their heads or didn't even dare to raise their heads. There wasn't even anyone who could talk.

Although she didn't have a good impression of Cheng Jin because of the rumors circulating in the previous harem, and she only regarded her as a demon concubine who disrupted the government and brought disaster to the country, she could only talk to Cheng Jin in this palace.

Besides, Cheng Jin is what Chu Chengye cares about, so what can she say about the couple's affairs.

Chu Chaochao was only immersed in his own thoughts, completely unaware of the shock and confusion on Cheng Jin's face in front of him.

Wei An, who was not far away, was frightened to death after hearing Chu Chaochao's words. He immediately came to smooth things over.

"It's just two days away from the palace to deal with some trivial matters. It's not a big deal."

"Isn't it a big deal to lead an army on your own?"

Now Chu Chaochao was confused, and his voice became much louder.

Leading troops to fight in person?

Cheng Jin pondered these words carefully in his mind.

Could it be that Chu Chengye wanted to lead the troops in person because of Cheng Sheng's incident?

Cheng Jin actually already had the answer in her heart. She didn't stay far away for too long and walked aside.

When Chu Chaochao saw that Cheng Jin was leaving without saying hello, he followed him immediately with some anxiety.

"Why are you leaving? Are you not playing anymore? We haven't found the emperor yet."

Cheng Jin glanced at Chu Chaochao who couldn't hide his disappointment.

Chu Chaochao was not very old, only fourteen or fifteen years old, and he was at the age where he loved to play and be noisy.

There was a slight trace of baby fat on her face that had not faded away, and her bright almond-shaped eyes just now suddenly dimmed. She was holding up the hem of her skirt to catch up with Cheng Jin, who was walking very fast.

Cheng Jin stopped and looked at Chu Chaochao, "No more fun, there are more important things."

Cheng Jin didn't know why Chu Chengye didn't tell him since he had decided to lead troops on the expedition, but his previous worries had been solved.

It's not that Cheng Jin can't just leave the palace and leave without saying goodbye. She knows the secret passage that can leave the palace, and there is also an exit that was previously created to save her life when leaving the palace.

But there are hidden guards beside her, and Wei An comes to see her from time to time. If Chu Chengye finds out that Cheng Jin has suddenly disappeared, he will definitely look for her. Even if she runs out, she will definitely be caught. , it’s better to get Chu Chengye’s consent first, so that he can go out openly.

Now, she already knew that Chu Chengye was going to lead the army in person, and no matter how long his hands were outside the palace, he would not be able to control Cheng Jin.

Cheng Jin left Chu Chaochao behind and rushed to Chunhe Palace at a very fast speed.

Chu Chaochao was left alone, stamping his feet on the spot.

"What's the matter? Can I help?"

"I won't cause trouble."

Chu Chaochao started to talk nonsense as he watched Cheng Jin's retreating figure.

She didn't really want to help Cheng Jin do anything, but wanted Cheng Jin to take her with him.

Cheng Jin did not answer and rushed back to Chunhe Palace.

It wasn't long before Chu Chengye left the palace, so she had to hurry up and pack her things.

Wei An stood there and could only repeat it in his heart.

No one expected that things would develop to this point, so Wei An could only tell Chu Chengye first.

When Wei An saw Chu Chengye, Chu Chengye had already arranged everything. Seeing Wei An panting heavily, he frowned slightly, "What's wrong?"

"It's not good. It's not good."

Wei An waited for a while before telling the whole story.

After listening to Wei An's words, Chu Chengye almost lost his grip on the tea cup in his hand. He supported the table and looked at Wei An in front of him, "So Cheng Jin already knows now?"

Wei An frowned and nodded, "Looking at Concubine Rong's expression, she should already know."

Chu Chengye was a little at a loss and looked in the direction of the door several times.

"Then when will she arrive?"

Chu Chengye put down the tea cup in his hand, stood up, and paced back and forth, thinking about how he refused Cheng Jin's request without changing his face when Cheng Jin arrived.

Wei An was stunned for a moment and then explained: "Concubine Rong Gui did not come."

"what?"

Chu Chengye paused in his steps, looked at Wei An and asked doubtfully: "She's not here?"

how come?

Cheng Jin knew that he was going to send troops to transform tomorrow, so how could he not come back and let him take her with him?

This is so abnormal.

This is also the reason why Chu Chengye is unwilling to tell Cheng Jin. If he does, Cheng Jin will definitely go.

Wei An nodded and said, "That's right. I'm also a little confused. Concubine Rong turned around and left when she learned that the emperor was going to send troops tomorrow."

"Let's go to Chunhe Palace."

Chu Chengye kept moving while Wei An was talking. He was thinking about Cheng Jin's motives.

Before Wei An asked Chu Chengye what he should do next, Chu Chengye had already walked outside the door.

Chu Chengye walked a little absentmindedly.

He really couldn't imagine what Cheng Jin was going to do.

If you can't think of it, why don't you just ask.

When Chu Chengye arrived, Cheng Jin had almost packed his things. When he heard someone shouting "The Emperor has arrived" outside the door, Cheng Jin quickly asked Ziying and Cuizhu to hide the things they had packed.

She herself went out directly.

Chu Chengye felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Cheng Jin. On the other hand, Cheng Jin's face was not surprised that Chu Chengye wanted to send troops.

Cheng Jin was the first to speak, "Why is the emperor here?"

Thinking of the way Chu Chengye tried his best to avoid Cheng Jin just now, Chu Chengye's ears felt hot, his eyes strayed from Cheng Jin's from time to time, and he did not dare to meet Cheng Jin's eyes directly.

"You already know everything?"
