Cheng Jin looked at Xu Jilin with the same sad expression, as if he would cry with Xu Jilin in the next second.

In fact, Cheng Jin was so angry that he laughed because Xu Jilin had really been sitting here for a long time, and noble people often forget things. Xu Jilin had really forgotten that she had trapped Cheng Jin in her palace and wanted to kill her years ago.

It had only been a few months, but Xu Jilin had forgotten Cheng Jin.

Xu Jilin would find her because she was the Queen Mother, Chu Chengye's biological mother, and Cheng Jin's elder. Didn't Cheng Jin dare to hold a grudge?

Even in the royal palace, we are considered a family. We will live together in the future, and when we meet during the holidays, we must always save some face for each other.

When Xu Jilin thought about this, Cheng Jin would not have thought that she wanted to kill both Chu Chengye and Cheng Jin for her Chu Huaian to make way for Chu Huaian, and now she was asking Cheng Jin, the victim, to intercede for Chu Huaian, the murderer.

Even if she was crazy, she wouldn't do such a thing.

Cheng Jin pretended to wipe his tears and looked at Xu Jilin, "It's not that I don't care about the fifth prince, but it's because I am powerless. What mistake did the fifth prince make..."

Cheng Jin deliberately paused for a moment when he said this, while Xu Jilin sat there with wandering eyes.

Xu Jilin also knew what Chu Huai'an had done, but she didn't know that Chu Huai'an could do such things as murdering people.

Even if you are really eager for quick success and quick gain, you shouldn't do this kind of thing yourself. There are so many scapegoats in the world, and you can let people see you and take advantage of it.

Xu Jilin felt regretful in her heart. She had previously wanted to make Chu Chengye's reputation as a tyrant, so she secretly placed some treacherous ministers around Chu Chengye, causing Chu Chengye to lose the support of the people.

When the time comes, Chu Huai'an will use the Qing emperor's excuse to raise troops for the people of the world. When the time comes, no matter whether it is the officials of the previous dynasty or the people, who will not support Chu Huai'an? Isn’t the world within Chu Huai’an’s reach?

Now we end up in this situation.

Xu Jilin thought about her sadness and looked a little sad.

After Cheng Jin saw it, he immediately sighed and blocked the path Xu Jilin wanted to take here.

"Look at the current situation, look at the previous dynasties, even if you make such a mistake, you can't get away with it. Even if the emperor breaks the law, he is as guilty as the common people, not to mention that the fifth prince has wasted so many lives."

"After the Dongchuang incident, the fifth prince burned down the palace and fled. The emperor is angry now. If the fifth prince is willing to admit his mistake in front of the emperor, maybe the emperor will still care about the brotherly relationship with the fifth prince and give him a lighter sentence. Woolen cloth."

Cheng Jin touched the cup with his hand, as if he was carefully giving Xu Jilin advice, but actually wanted to see if Xu Jilin knew the whereabouts of Chu Huai'an.

However, Xu Jilin slammed the table with excitement and glared at Cheng Jin.

"Nonsense! It's all nonsense!"

The cup next to Cheng Jin fell to the ground, and the tea inside spilled all over the floor.

Cheng Jin stood up and walked to Xu Jilin's side. She put her hand on Xu Jilin's back as if to comfort her.

Xu Jilin turned her head and glanced at Cheng Jin, with anger in her eyes.

"The fifth prince burned his house and left because the emperor directly sent people to raid An'er's palace."

"Besides, can An'er be convicted just by the words of those unruly people?"

"The imperial court invested money and energy in treating those people. Not only are they ungrateful, but they also deliberately make trouble. If you want to tell the Ai family, they are so sick that they can't wake up. How can you believe their words? If anyone Are you deliberately putting the blame on me, An'er?"

Cheng Jin suppressed his uncontrollable smile and said: "Why should the Queen Mother be angry? It is also true for concubines. The Fifth Prince is the most humble and kind-hearted, and he will definitely not be able to do such a thing."

Xu Jilin looked back at Cheng Jin, a little surprised that Cheng Jin could say these words.

Cheng Jin's face was full of sincerity, "I know that I had some unpleasantness with the empress before. Isn't it because the Queen Mother wants the emperor to get the rain and dew equally? I am too jealous. This has nothing to do with the fifth prince."

"I have now opened my eyes to it. I am the same as the Emperor, the Queen Mother, and the Fifth Prince. In an ordinary family, we are one family. What things can't be settled?"

Cheng Jin took advantage of the situation and pulled up Qu Wanxin, who was still kneeling aside, "Since my sister and the fifth prince have the same mind, I have no hatred against my sister. If we really bring about the relationship between my sister and the prince, aren't we still a family? ?”

Qu Wanxin was still confused when she was pulled up.

Xu Jilin and Qu Wanxin stared at Cheng Jin with four eyes, as if trying to find some loopholes in Cheng Jin's mouth and how Cheng Jin wanted to frame them.

Cheng Jin paused for a moment on Xu Jilin, then looked at Qu Wanxin. She looked innocent and soon laughed again.

"Why are you looking at me like this? Don't believe what I say?"

Xu Jilin said suspiciously: "Do you really think so?"

Cheng Jin looked into the eyes of Qu Wanxin and Xu Jilin and said: "What can I do to deceive the empress and my sister? Now that I am favored by the emperor, Wanxin and the fifth prince have the same heart. If Wanxin really becomes a couple with the fifth prince, I am the only one in the harem, so I am naturally happy."

Cheng Jin noticed Xu Jilin's gaze and immediately stepped forward and said: "Please forgive me, my Majesty. Of course I have my own selfish motives for helping the Majesty. I want your Majesty not to persuade the Emperor to fill the harem after I intercede for the prince."

Xu Jilin glanced at Cheng Jin coldly, "With you by the Emperor's side, how can anything happen to the Ai family?"

Cheng Jin smiled cordially at Xu Jilin and said, "What are you talking about, your Majesty? Your Majesty is the Emperor's biological mother. The Emperor has always listened to your Majesty's words. Now he is just angry. After waiting for this limelight, what did your Majesty say that the Emperor doesn't listen to?" "

Cheng Jin's words were indeed true when Xu Jilin heard them.

Although Chu Chengye is difficult to control by her, he is his biological son after all. With that blood relationship, even if Chu Chengye doesn't listen to her, he can't do anything too ruthless.

There are also those past events that Xu Jilin specially asked people to tell Chu Chengye. Whether they are true or false is not that important. Anyway, so long has passed, and what should be forgotten has been forgotten, and the damn ones are dead.

With such a life-saving feeling, Chu Chengye believed most of what Xu Jilin said, otherwise she wouldn't be able to do so many things under Chu Chengye's nose.

But now Chu Chengye deliberately avoided seeing her, and now the only one who could say something for Chu Huaian in front of Chu Chengye was Cheng Jin.

What Cheng Jin said is also credible. No matter how different Cheng Jin is, she is still a woman in the harem.

Most women in the harem are the same. They stay in the palace all their lives just to be favored by the emperor and to strive for wealth for their natal family.

Nowadays, no one in the court knows that the Cheng family's holy family is strong, and what Cheng Jin wants now is the exclusive favor of the harem.
