Cheng Jin knew that Chu Chengye would protect her, so she climbed up Chu Chengye's neck and lightly jumped onto his body.

Although Chu Chengye didn't understand why, he subconsciously took Cheng Jin firmly in his arms. He looked at Cheng Jin sideways and walked to the bed with Cheng Jin in his arms. He pretended to be indifferent and asked, "Why are you so happy?"

There was a hint of sourness in his tone.

Cheng Jin didn't hear anything at this time. She smiled with two curved eyes. She rubbed Chu Chengye's face again and again, and whispered to her ear to share her joy: "Pei Yu said I'm saved."

Chu Chengye snorted coldly, "Didn't I find a prescription that can save you a long time ago? You refused to drink it. Why did you drink it when he gave it to you? Is his blood sweeter than mine?"

Cheng Jin pushed Chu Chengye out of curiosity, and then held Chu Chengye's face again, with their noses touching. Cheng Jin tried her best to look into Chu Chengye's eyes and feel his breath. She whispered, "Pei Yu's method doesn't need your blood anymore. I won't die, and you won't die. We don't need to separate."

Cheng Jin kissed Chu Chengye's mouth based on her feeling, again and again, and gently licked the corners of his lips which were slightly dazed. Her bright eyes were filled with a smile as she looked at Chu Chengye seriously:

"We can be together for the rest of our lives, forever and ever."

Chu Chengye should have been happy, but he stood there like a petrified person, not even blinking. He just kept looking at Cheng Jin. It was as if he had been overwhelmed by such a huge surprise that he couldn't recover.

Just as Chu Chengye was about to speak, all his strength was suddenly drained from his body and he could not stand at all. He fell straight onto the bed beside him while holding Cheng Jin.

Cheng Jin couldn't see the situation clearly, and was frightened by the sudden change and cried out: "Ah!"

Although Cheng Jin fell down with Chu Chengye, she did not feel any pain at all. Chu Chengye held her tightly in his arms, so she fell on him.

Noticing Chu Chengye's abnormality, Cheng Jin had no time to think about it and nervously tried to climb down from Chu Chengye's body.

"Chu Chengye, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"

As soon as Cheng Jin raised her arms, she was pulled back by Chu Chengye again. He put his big hands on Cheng Jin's back and made Cheng Jin lie on him again.

Chu Chengye's voice was very soft. He put his hand on Cheng Jin's forehead and whispered, "I'm fine. I'm just a little too happy. Just lie down with me for a while. It will be fine in a while."

Cheng Jin didn't know whether what Chu Chengye said was true or not. She couldn't see him now, so she could only touch Chu Chengye's face to confirm. She asked, "Are you really okay?"

Chu Chengye opened his mouth and gently touched Cheng Jin's fingers with his lips. He raised the corners of his lips and looked at Cheng Jin who was a little confused in front of him. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Of course, my health is fine. The expansion of Nanqi still depends on Concubine Rong."

When Chu Chengye said this, he intentionally used an ambiguous tone, hoping that Cheng Jin wouldn't have to worry so much.

When Cheng Jin heard Chu Chengye's dirty talk, her face turned red. She stretched out her fist and hit Chu Chengye on the chest, causing Chu Chengye to groan.

Cheng Jin suddenly became nervous again, "Did you touch the wound?"

Chu Chengye couldn't help but raise his arm to touch Cheng Jin's lips. Cheng Jin was thinking about the injuries on Chu Chengye's body, so how could she want to get close to him at this moment, so she raised her hand and pushed him away.

Chu Chengye grabbed Cheng Jin's hand and held it in his own. He tilted his head and kissed Cheng Jin on the mouth. He whispered, "It's okay. I just want to kiss you."

Realizing that she had been fooled, Cheng Jin angrily hit Chu Chengye again.

Early the next morning, Pei Yu had already arrived with his things. Only two maids who were responsible for changing the water were left in the room, while Chu Chengye and the Cheng family members were guarding outside the door.

This disease will take a long time to cure, so Cheng Jin had already arranged to put a few more chairs in the hospital. The few people outside the door wandered around as if they were invisible, and none of them could sit on a chair.

At this moment, all the people outside the door were family members, and there was no etiquette between the emperor and his subjects. They were all worried about Cheng Jin in the house.

From day to evening, everyone held their breath. The Cheng family members looked at the closed door and cried countless times. Chu Chengye didn't know how to comfort them. He was a cold-blooded animal who grew up without his parents. Apart from Cheng Jin, he didn't know how to establish close relationships with others.

He was still silent, and Cheng Yishou comforted Zhao Shulan, who was about to faint from crying, and walked to Chu Chengye's side and asked worriedly: "Your Majesty, why do you look so bad?"

Chu Chengye looked up in a daze, wanting to say that he was fine, but no sound came out.

Chu Chengye can't feel his own existence at all now.

When Pei Yu entered the room to treat Cheng Jin, his body was shaking uncontrollably. He was sweating coldly and his lips were pale and bloodless. It seemed that he would fall to the ground in the next second.

If possible, he would be willing to bear all of this on behalf of Cheng Jin.

How could Cheng Jin bear it when she was so afraid of pain?

Chu Chengye was speechless and could only wave to Cheng Yishou to indicate that he was fine. Then he kept his eyes on the door of the locked room.

Time seemed to have stood still.

When Pei Yu came out, everyone in the yard gathered around him. When they saw Pei Yu nodded, everyone laughed as if a burden had been lifted off their shoulders.

Pei Yu said: "The poison in Cheng Jin's body has been removed, but the damage to her body is too great, she needs to be recuperated for a while longer."

Chu Chengye followed Pei Yu's line of sight and saw Cheng Jin lying unconscious on the bed. He muttered to himself as if in a trance, "Rest for a few more days, rest for a few more days."

This raising process lasted for two years.

Cheng Jin has almost been turned into a useless person in the palace.

Apart from allowing Cheng Jin to attend a ceremony to crown the queen, that day alone made Chu Chengye extremely nervous and he kept the imperial physician waiting for him the whole time.

Cheng Jin couldn't help laughing while trying to persuade her.

During her recovery period, Chu Chengye asked Cheng Jin to move to Jingyang Palace, as Chu Chengye said.

He knew Cheng Jin too well. He knew that she loved to be spoiled, to pretend to obey but actually disobey, and to get more than she deserved. If Cheng Jin was not around, she would probably go crazy.

Cheng Jin was not used to being served by others. Even during the time when she was blind, she was afraid that her actions would bring disaster to the palace maids and eunuchs, so Cheng Jin was even unwilling to get out of bed for a long time.

But when she was having dinner with Chu Chengye, she acted as if everything was natural.

Chu Chengye is happy to be trusted and relied upon by Cheng Jin.

Can't ask for it.

Cheng Jin has long been accustomed to Chu Chengye's care, and can even not do without him.

But over time, no matter how good the love is, it will become a shackle. Cheng Jin is not the kind of person who would be willing to stay in the harem for her whole life. After she recovered, Cheng Jin began to think of ways to make trouble.

At that time, the people of Qingzhou were suffering from disease and their homes were destroyed, so they came to the capital for refuge. After the problem was resolved, most of the people who stayed were women and girls. Some returned to Qingzhou, and some stayed in the capital.

Many of them have no strengths in the capital, and even with the support of the court, it is difficult for them to gain a foothold in the capital for a long time.

Cheng Jin then thought of opening some girls' schools and clinics to provide a way out for those women and girls.

It's not that difficult.

But Cheng Jin's plan to do it herself was strongly opposed by Chu Chengye, and they even had a big quarrel and had to sleep in separate rooms.

Chu Chengye advised earnestly: "You just got better, and you're thinking about working hard. That's just nonsense!"

Because of taking care of Cheng Jin and because he almost lost Cheng Jin, Chu Chengye's temperament has changed a lot. He never gets angry in front of Cheng Jin, and he doesn't even raise his voice.

Hearing Cheng Jin say this, he was really anxious.

Cheng Jin stood on a chair with her hands on her hips, competing with Chu Chengye to see whose voice was louder.

"What am I messing about?"

"It's been so long. Even if I have a broken arm or a missing leg, it should have grown back by now. You are just making a big fuss."

Cheng Jin shouted at the top of her voice, with an undisguised look of arrogance.

Chu Chengye sighed, fearing that Cheng Jin would fall down, and pointed at Cheng Jin, "I won't argue with you, come down."

Cheng Jin thought that Chu Chengye had admitted defeat, and an uncontrollable smile appeared on her face, and she negotiated terms with Chu Chengye.

"Then you promised me first."

Chu Chengye would never give in on such a matter of principle.

"No, except for this one thing."

Cheng Jin's eyes widened in disbelief, "Why?"

"You are too tyrannical. I will report you to the police! I will arrest you and put you in jail!"

Chu Chengye was so angry at Cheng Jin's words that he laughed, "The government can't try this matter."

"If you want to do it, I won't stop you when you're well again."

After hearing what Chu Chengye said, Cheng Jin couldn't wait to prove herself. She jumped twice on the chair and said seriously, "I've been well for a long time, you see."

Before Cheng Jin finished speaking, Chu Chengye took her steadily in his arms and held her up. He looked up at Cheng Jin and smiled dotingly: "Then why do you always talk about your poor health at night?"

"I feel sick at night, but I feel full of energy during the day."

"You little liar, which one of your words should I believe?"

This is Cheng Jin shooting himself in the foot.

She lowered her head and held Chu Chengye's face and smiled: "I don't know either, who knows."

"You."

Cheng Jin continued to grind Chu Chengye, "I'm really fine now, just promise me."

If I don't agree to Cheng Jin's request, I guess she won't give up easily.

Chu Chengye reluctantly put Cheng Jin on the bed and said to her, "Call the imperial physician to take a look later. If there's nothing wrong, I'll approve it."

Cheng Jin jumped to Chu Chengye again with sparkling eyes and kissed him hard on the face, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Chu Chengye was forced to take several steps back by Cheng Jin's attack, and he couldn't hold back the smile on his face anymore, "Got it."

Cheng Jin's health had indeed recovered, and Chu Chengye, as he had promised, handed over the matters of running the women's clinic and the school to Cheng Jin.

But it is really inconvenient for Cheng Jin to show up in public with her current identity, so she interestingly forged a miserable identity for herself as her disguise.

A woman who is rejected by her husband.

Chu Chengye was not happy when he found out, but because Cheng Jin was so excited, he didn't say anything.

But gradually, Cheng Jin became busy outside the palace and was often not seen in the palace. When he came back, he fell asleep immediately and ignored Chu Chengye, who was troubled by the noise of court ministers every day.

Not only did they not have any intimacy, but Cheng Jin even forgot about the goodnight kiss they gave each other every night.

Chu Chengye looked at Cheng Jin who was sleeping soundly at the moment, with a resentful look on his face, but he did not wake her up. He originally thought that he would settle the old and new accounts together the next day, but when he opened his eyes the next day, the little creditor had already gone to work.

Even busier than the emperor himself.

Chu Chengye deliberately waited outside the school, waiting for Cheng Jin.

From a distance, I saw Cheng Jin surrounded by several little girls, and followed Cheng Jin out.

Only when they reached the school gate did the group of little girls disperse.

It was dusk at this time, and the sunlight was shining directly on the ground, making it impossible for people to open their eyes.

Cheng Jin saw Chu Chengye waiting outside the carriage at a glance, and couldn't help but trot over with a look of surprise on her face and stood in front of Chu Chengye.

"How did you come?"

Chu Chengye took Cheng Jin into his arms and lowered his head to rub her nose.

"Come and take us home, busy man."

Cheng Jin pretended to push Chu Chengye, slightly distanced the two of them, and whispered: "This won't work. I told others that I am a woman who is hated by my husband. You..."

Before Cheng Jin could finish her words, Chu Chengye grabbed her by the waist and carried her into the carriage.

He had an undisguised smile on his face:

"Then I am Miss Cheng's lover."

Seeing how deeply Chu Chengye was immersed in the role, Cheng Jin couldn't help but lean on Chu Chengye's shoulder and burst into laughter. Her whole body was shaking uncontrollably and she almost fell into Chu Chengye's arms.

Chu Chengye just watched Cheng Jin holding her stomach and laughing, then he hugged Cheng Jin and whispered in her ear.

"The lady and I will go home and have an affair secretly, but don't let anyone find out."

The two of them laughed and snuggled up to each other.

The carriage was on the way back to the palace, and the setting sun shone through the curtains onto Cheng Jin.

That's good enough.

It’s best to live like this for the rest of your life.

----------

In March of the 15th year of Jianping, Prince Jing, Chu Chengye, killed his father and ascended the throne.

In May of the second year of the Qingyuan period, Cheng was canonized as Rong Guifei, and from then on the emperor favored only one person.

In October of the fifth year of the Qingyuan reign, the emperor repelled foreign enemies, Prince Rui secretly rebelled and was beheaded at Qinshan, and the empress dowager passed away.

In September of the sixth year of the Qingyuan period, Concubine Rong had just recovered from a serious illness, and the emperor issued an edict to make her empress, and the ceremony of crowning her was held on October 5th.

The emperor loved the empress deeply and swore to be with only one person in his life, so he issued an edict not to have concubines. The emperor and empress lived in the same palace and lived together like an ordinary couple.

In the spring of the eighth year of the Qingyuan period, the queen gave birth to a son named Chu Jingyan, whom the emperor secretly appointed as the crown prince.

In the autumn of the tenth year of the Qingyuan reign, the queen gave birth to a daughter named Chu Jingyu, who was given the title Princess Changle.

The Southern Qi Dynasty was not invaded by foreign enemies, and the people lived in peace. It prospered for a hundred years and lasted forever, which was known in history as the "Qingyuan Prosperity."
