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

However, Cheng Jin didn't wonder for too long. After getting out of bed, she asked Cuizhu to clean up briefly for herself and then sat in the main hall to prepare for guests.

Cheng Jin was sitting on the main seat. She was sitting in a proper manner, and a sense of oppression that did not seem to belong to Cheng Jin arose spontaneously.

Without waiting for a moment, he saw Xu Jilin and Qu Wanxin coming to his main hall together.

After not seeing her for a few days, Xu Jilin seemed to have changed. She was no longer the gentle and kind Queen Mother before. The corners of her eyes were red, as if she had just cried.

Qu Wanxin no longer looked as arrogant and domineering as before. She followed Xu Jilin closely, wearing plain clothes. If Cheng Jin didn't know Qu Wanxin, he would have thought she was Xu Jilin's new maid.

Qu Wanxin lowered her eyes, like eggplants beaten by frost. When she looked at Cheng Jin, she became even more panicked.

Cheng Jin didn't know what they were here for, but when they entered, Cheng Jin stood up and slightly saluted Xu Jilin.

Cheng Jin said: "May the Queen Mother be safe and sound. I didn't know that when the Queen Mother arrives, I will not be able to welcome you from afar."

Xu Jilin has no intention of saying any complimentary and auspicious words to Cheng Jin now.

She raised her hand slightly and sat next to Cheng Jin.

Cheng Jin didn't say anything polite to Xu Jilin and sat down himself.

Cheng Jin knew the truth and asked: "I remember that the Queen Mother should be concentrating on worshiping Buddha in Shou'an Palace. Why did you come to me?"

"As a junior, I know that my concubine should be the first to see my queen after she can leave the palace. Why bother my queen to make this trip?"

Xu Jilin sighed, and did not say much to Cheng Jin. She went straight to the point and said, "Concubine Rong must also know about the fifth prince. The Ai family is here to help you facilitate a marriage."

"What?" Cheng Jin opened up many possibilities, but he never expected Xu Jilin to say this.

Cheng Jin originally thought that Xu Jilin came just because he couldn't see the emperor and wanted him to take him to see him. He wanted to be moved by emotion and reason, so that Chu Chengye could spare Chu Huai'an's life.

Otherwise, he would be more forceful and directly kidnap her in exchange for one life.

After thinking so much, Cheng Jin was actually not nervous at all. If Xu Jilin really attacked her, he would have been intercepted by the secret guards assigned by Chu Chengye before he did it.

Promote a marriage? Cheng Jin really couldn't figure out what Xu Jilin and the others were causing trouble.

Before Cheng Jin could react to Xu Jilin's words, he saw Qu Wanxin kneeling at his feet with a pop.

If he hadn't had enough concentration, Cheng Jin would have been so frightened that he would have jumped up from his chair.

Cheng Jin subconsciously helped Qu Wanxin up. Qu Wanxin was also very rude, and Cheng Jin picked it up as soon as he picked it up.

Cheng Jin: "..."

What kind of opera is this?

The two of them looked at each other in silence. Xu Jilin, who was standing aside, immediately gave Qu Wanxin a look. Qu Wanxin, who had just been confused, underwent a 180-degree change.

She knelt at Cheng Jin's feet again, tears suddenly falling down.

Qu Wanxin is the heroine of the original book, and her appearance is of course nothing to say. Even though she has been with Xu Jilin for a few days and has never seen the sun or left the palace, she looks like a delicate young lady when she cries.

"Empress, please help us!"

"As long as you help us, we will disappear immediately in this palace, no, in the capital."

Cheng Jin has never figured out who this one is.

Qu Wanxin and Chu Huai'an were childhood sweethearts, so their relationship was naturally extraordinary, but now Chu Huai'an couldn't be found, so there was nothing he could do to beg her.

Cheng Jin stopped pulling Qu Wanxin and let her cry. He waited until she was tired of crying and brought her tea.

Qu Wanxin saw that no one said anything after she cried for a while, so she looked at Cheng Jin with tearful eyes. Cheng Jin immediately brought tea when he saw that Qu Wanxin had stopped.

Qu Wanxin: "..."

Cheng Jin naturally understood the meaning of the two people. She pretended to be difficult and said seriously: "Hui Gui, what are you doing? I know that you and the fifth prince have a friendship, but who knows where he is now?" ? Even if I have this idea, there is no way."

"No matter what, you are still the emperor's concubine. If your crying for another man reaches the emperor's ears, let alone you and the fifth prince, when the emperor gets angry, who can stop him?"

Qu Wanxin stopped crying instantly, her tearful eyes wandering around Cheng Jin and Xu Jilin.

Xu Jilin understood what Cheng Jin meant, and Chu Huaian was not found.

Xu Jilin was relieved. Chu Chengye took away all her power as soon as he came back this morning and advised her to enjoy her old age and sit peacefully as the Queen Mother of Southern Qi.

Xu Jilin seems to be in peace, but now that Chu Huai'an's whereabouts are unknown, how can she, as a mother, rest assured.

Chu Chengye blocked all news about Dali Temple and replaced all the people previously assigned by Xu Jilin. She had no way of knowing the situation of Dali Temple.

She heard that someone was tortured in Dali Temple today, but she confided in half a sentence. Xu Jilin thought of Chu Huai'an. If he had been humiliated in Dali Temple...

Xu Jilin didn't dare to think about it at all. She wiped the corner of her eyes, looked at Cheng Jin, and made a gentle look, "Good boy, tell the Ai family, are you sure the emperor doesn't know where the fifth prince is?"

As Xu Jilin said this, she was about to put her hand on Cheng Jin's hand. Cheng Jin took his hand away before Xu Jilin put it on and put it on his lap. Cheng Jin smiled and said, "Empress Dowager, these are all from the previous dynasty. How can I, a concubine, know about political affairs?"

Cheng Jin's words cut her off completely, but Xu Jilin couldn't help but want to laugh when she heard Cheng Jin say this.

Cheng Jin said she didn’t know?

She hid it well, disguising herself as a harmless little white rabbit. In fact, she didn't know how many conspiracies she had not used.

It was in vain that Xu Jilin had previously only thought that Cheng Jin was a woman in the harem who could not cause any turmoil. Looking at it now, she was really wrong.

Xu Jilin lowered her eyes and did not look at Cheng Jin. She whispered: "Concubine Rong, you are young and have never given birth to a child. You don't understand what the Fifth Prince means to the Ai family."

Xu Jilin hammered her chest, "My heart is like a knife. When Chu Chengye and An'er are in such trouble, the Ai family's heart is like a knife."

Cheng Jin could probably guess what Xu Jilin was doing with Qu Wanxin.

Chu Chengye took away the power of the Queen Mother and asked her to take care of herself in her old age. However, the whereabouts of Xu Jilin's beloved son Chu Huai'an are now unknown and his life is in danger. How can Xu Jilin, a mother, rest assured.

Chu Chengye asked for mercy. Chu Chengye knew Xu Jilin's intentions and made an excuse not to see her.

Emperors have a cold and cold temperament, and Xu Jilin knows that.

She then set her sights on Cheng Jin.

Cheng Jin has a happy family. As an ordinary woman, she would be the most reluctant to shed tears and pretend to be pitiful, so she thought Cheng Jin might agree.
