Chu Chengye's forehead jumped after hearing Cheng Jin's words.

This vicious woman actually wanted to hit him to death.

But seeing Cheng Jin in front of him with a grateful expression on his face even though he felt unhappy, Chu Chengye felt that his mood immediately improved a lot.

Chu Chengye walked out of Cheng Jin's bedroom and thought of what Cheng Jin had said just now.

There is no woman in the world who has tried so hard to run away to the cold palace.

Afraid of following him to death?

Chu Chengye smiled coldly. He had been licking blood from the tip of a knife since he was eight years old. He had never thought of anyone who could kill him.

He wanted to see who it was.

After Chu Chengye left, the little maids and eunuchs outside the door poked their heads into the room.

Cuizhu and Chuntao who were outside the door pushed aside the person blocking them and trotted into the house. They breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Cheng Jin was fine.

"Mother, are you okay?"

"Your Majesty, what did the Emperor say?"

Almost at the same time, Cuizhu and Chuntao spoke at the same time.

Cheng Jin stared at the two people and said nothing for a while.

Although there was the same anxious look on his face, his concerns were completely different.

Sure enough, after a moment, Chuntao lowered her head, as if she knew what she said was wrong, and immediately began to change her words.

"This slave didn't mean that. I'm just worried that the empress is so heart-wrenched that she won't hesitate to speak. This slave should be beaten."

Changing her words quickly enough, Cheng Jin glanced at her.

I remember that there was a description of Chuntao in the book. She was originally from the palace, but was assigned to work in the palace of the original owner.

There are no people who have been working in the palace since childhood who are not human beings. I don’t know when they were bribed by Hui Gui.

He stole his own jade pendant and gave it back to Qu Wanxin, helping Qu Wanxin frame her.

But after all, he was stupid and couldn't bear to part with such a good item, so he gave it a fake one.

Even when the original owner went to plead for mercy at the banquet, it was this Chuntao who instigated her, saying that the emperor would forgive her for the sake of Taifu Cheng's face.

After the original owner entered the cold palace, this Chuntao followed Qu Wanxin. Later, Cheng Jin's life in the cold palace was not easy even without Qu Wanxin, and his life was hanging on the line.

Cuizhu, on the other hand, had been accompanying the original owner to the palace since she was a child, and had blocked many open and secret arrows for her when she was in the cold palace.

"Since you know it's wrong, why don't you kneel down? Do you still have this master in your heart?"

Cheng Jin's voice is not loud. He has the voice and appearance of the original owner, and also has a sense of oppression.

Chuntao was startled, and then immediately knelt down, "I know I was wrong, please forgive me."

Chuntao didn't expect Cheng Jin to lose his temper suddenly. Cheng Jin looked like a spoiled rich lady. She would only act out of emotion no matter what happened and had no idea about the rules and etiquette in the palace.

If she was not Taifu Cheng's daughter, how could she survive in this palace, and how could she take the position of concubine?

She has lived in the palace for so many years, but she is still a palace maid, and she still has to serve this ignorant official lady.

Cheng Jin saw her wrong expression and instantly understood what she was thinking. She was just resenting the unfair fate. Why was she a slave?

"Now that you know your mistake, that's good." Cheng Jin thought of something, her expression changed instantly, and with a smile on her face, she personally helped Chuntao up.

"The emperor just came to question me and said that I pushed Mr. Hui into the lake."

Cheng Jin pretended to be scared and was about to fall down on the chair behind her. Fortunately, Cuizhu helped her with a look of fear on her face, allowing her to finish her sentence.

"I don't know who wronged me and almost caused me to be wronged. However, the emperor was aware of it and did not pursue it. However, the emperor was very angry. He must be worried about Huigui."

"Now go to Hui Guiren's palace and say that I am worried about her. You must go and see it in person one day."

Cuizhu stood at the forefront of Cheng Jin's arrangements, "I'll go right now, slave."

Cheng Jin stretched out his hand to hold her, "Let Chuntao go. You accompany me to change clothes."

Chuntao naturally did not want to serve Cheng Jin, and she could get in touch with Qu Wanxin, her future favorite concubine. Although she did not succeed this time, she could still discuss future plans.

Naturally, she was very happy about it, so she quickly agreed and went out to deliver the message.

After the people left, Cuizhu called Cheng Jin, "Mother, are you going to change clothes?"

Cheng Jin stared at Chuntao's back for a while, "Go, but you do one thing for me first. Go to Chuntao's residence."

Although Cuizhu didn't understand why Cheng Jin suddenly wanted to go to a servant's room, she still did it.

Although she and Chuntao were both maids serving Cheng Jin, they did not live together, and Chuntao also made it clear that no one was allowed to go to her residence.

If you don't know it, Cuizhu was shocked the moment he opened the door of Chuntao's room. Many of the jewelry in the room were brought by Cheng Jin from the palace before entering the palace.

Stealing the palace's finances was a serious crime of beheading, yet she actually hid so much.

Although she was shocked, she went back and explained the situation to Cheng Jin.

Cheng Jin nodded with satisfaction and arranged for Cuizhu to first arrange for a few people to collect things that did not belong to her in her room, and then find a few eunuchs to look for things in the palace. It would be best to look for things along the route Chuntao took. Let her hear it.

When a cat catches a mouse, it is not necessary to eat it immediately. It is more interesting to scare it.

After Cuizhu left, Cheng Jin was searching the room for any thick clothes and shields that could be hidden on his body to prevent him from dying too quickly if his clothes were too thin.

When Cuizhu came back, she saw Cheng Jin. Cheng Jin put on the winter cotton clothes in the room and hung a bronze mirror on his chest.

Cuizhu hurriedly went over to help Cheng Jin take off her clothes, "Mother, why are you wearing so many clothes on this day? You can't wear them like this."

Cheng Jin nodded and said to himself, "Yes, you can't dress like this when going to a banquet. Go find me a suit of armor."

Cuizhu:? ? ?

Going to a banquet and wearing battle armor?

Hongmen Banquet?

Although Cuizhu didn't find a battle armor, she found a thick wooden board for Cheng Jin.

Cheng Jin didn't have any choice, as long as he survived.

However, it was really ugly with the wooden board stuffed into his clothes, so Cheng Jin put on another cloak.

As soon as he put on his clothes, Chu Chengye sent a eunuch to invite him.

Seeing Cheng Jin dressed like this, he was stunned for a moment. After being silent for a long time, he asked:

"How dare you, my slave, to ask your Majesty if she is feeling unwell?"

Seeing someone asking this question, Cheng Jin nodded like a fool, "Yes, I have a headache, a backache, and a stomachache. I'm afraid I won't be able to go to the banquet with the emperor in the evening."

"It doesn't matter."

Wei An waved his hand, and Cheng Jin's eyes lit up.

"The emperor specially arranged for his servants to come here with the imperial doctor. We watched as we walked. The emperor was concerned that the empress has been spoiled since she was a child and cannot walk such a long distance. He ordered the empress to sit on the chariot."

Cheng Jin couldn't laugh at all after hearing this.

Your Majesty is quite good.
