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

Things have developed to this point. If you keep hiding it from Chu Chengye, you can't tell what will happen. It's better to tell Chu Chengye everything directly.

Cheng Jin quickly shook his head, "I didn't hide it from you on purpose."

"It's just that things are a bit complicated, so I didn't tell you."

Chu Chengye stared at Cheng Jin closely, as if he wanted to see what reason Cheng Jin could tell.

"Then why don't you say it now?"

Cheng Jin said: "Tell me, let me tell you."

Cheng Jin told Cu Chengye what happened in the past few days in a few words.

However, regarding Pei Yu's matter, Cheng Jin was still slightly flustered.

Although Cuizhu helped herself by telling Pei Yu the matter, she did so without her knowledge.

Chu Chengye had not dealt with Pei Yu before. If Chu Chengye found out, he might think that Cuizhu helped Pei Yu to cause what happened today.

If Chu Chengye is to blame.

Cheng Jin lowered his head and said: "I was afraid that something might go wrong, so I thought of Lord Pei. Lord Pei lives outside the palace, and it is easier for me to contact Jiang's mother and son, so I asked Lord Pei for help."

"Everything was fine originally, but who knew that Qu Wanxin would suddenly appear in the middle of the road?"

Cheng Jin caught a glimpse of Chu Chengye's increasingly cold gaze from the corner of his eye, and his words became more and more guilty, and he spoke softer and quieter.

Seeing that Chu Chengye was about to get angry, Cheng Jin immediately made amends, "It's all an accident, it's all an accident, there will be no next time."

Chu Chengye stood up suddenly, "Next time, do you still want a next time?"

"What else do you want to hide from me next time? Have you taken my words to heart?"

There was anger in Chu Chengye's eyes, and he couldn't understand how Cheng Jin could still put on such a smiling face when it was a matter of life and death. He looked like he didn't take it seriously.

He couldn't suppress his anger, so his voice naturally became louder.

Chu Chengye showed such a fierce look, Cheng Jin subconsciously shrank his steps and put some distance between him and Chu Chengye.

Unconsciously, he got closer and closer to Pei Yu behind him. It wasn't until he met Pei Yu's body that Cheng Jin realized that he had gone too far.

But seeing that Chu Chengye still looked angry, Cheng Jin thought about explaining first.

"No, listen to me"

"It's not Xiaojin's fault. It's my own initiative to get involved in this matter. If the emperor really wants to blame me, just punish me. Xiaojin has nothing to do with it."

Before Cheng Jin finished speaking, he heard Pei Yu, who had been standing beside him silently, suddenly speak.

Seeing that Pei Yu took everything into his own hands, Cheng Jin subconsciously denied it.

"No, no, it has nothing to do with Mr. Pei. This matter was planned by me. Mr. Pei had no knowledge of it before."

The two of them talked to each other, for fear that the other would be blamed by Chu Chengye.

Chu Chengye looked at the eager expressions of the two people and laughed angrily, "Xiaojin? Xiaojin."

"I didn't know that in just a few days, Concubine Rong and Master Pei had become so familiar with each other that they even called each other by their nicknames."

When Pei Yu saw that Chu Chengye was angry, there was no trace of panic on his face. Instead, he hurriedly saluted.

Pei Yu said: "I was rude, but I was a colleague with Mr. Cheng before, and I was closer to the empress. When I talked to the empress, I felt like I was back in the past. I broke the rules for a moment. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Although Pei Yu said he wanted Chu Chengye to forgive him, there was no trace of worry on his face that Chu Chengye would blame him.

He raised his head at the right time and glanced at Chu Chengye, but there was a hint of imperceptible provocation in his usually gentle eyes. Fleeting.

But Chu Chengye saw it clearly, and he saw it very clearly.

He knew what was wrong between him and Pei Yu.

Cheng Jin and Pei Yu were childhood sweethearts, and they almost became friends. Chengye didn't know how their relationship had developed, and he didn't know, but it was obvious that every time Cheng Jin saw Pei Yu, he became more dependent on and Trust him.

As for Chu Chengye, if he didn't have this status as an emperor, I'm afraid Cheng Jin wouldn't have entered the palace and become his concubine.

Previously, Cheng Jin was only afraid and timid when facing Chu Chengye, and he wanted to stay away from him if he had the chance. Now, although Cheng Jin's attitude towards Chu Chengye has improved a lot, he only regards the two as comrades and friends on the same front, and nothing else.

Cheng Jin will also make words and actions that misunderstand Chu Chengye. If Chu Chengye can't hear Cheng Jin's heart, he can also lie to himself.

But he could hear it, and he knew all Cheng Jin's thoughts about him.

Everything is so clear.

She hated the palace and being restrained. She wanted to leave. This idea never disappeared in Cheng Jin's heart.

Even now, if Cheng Jin is given a chance, she will leave everything behind and leave here without hesitation.

Chu Chengye thought of Cheng Jin's attitude towards Pei Yu after he was killed by Wu Xia. If Cheng Jin was really given a chance to choose between the two of them, Cheng Jin would definitely follow Pei Yu instead of him.

indeed.

Chu Chengye thought to himself, what is worth for a despicable and unscrupulous person like him who grew up in the gutter?

Chu Chengye ignored Pei Yu's explanation, looked in the direction of Cheng Jin, and couldn't help but sneered, "No wonder I was always pushed back by you a few words whether I went to Chunhe Palace or Wei An in the past few days. It turns out that you are afraid that I will be there to hinder you and Pei Yu from reminiscing about the past."

"No, Pei Yu and I just met today. Where can we catch up on old times?"

Being used to seeing Chu Chengye's good-natured look, Cheng Jin really couldn't adapt to Chu Chengye's current behavior.

But in general, it was Chu Chengye's credit for saving them today. Cheng Jin was also clear about it. She patiently explained to Chu Chengye:

"Master Pei picked up Jiang's mother and son for me outside the palace. We didn't meet until we arrived at the palace gate. If you don't believe it, you can ask."

Cheng Jin originally wanted to ask Jiang's mother and son, but now if Jiang's mother and son came out to see Chu Chengye to explain this matter, it would be a mistake. It would be bad if someone found out.

Cheng Jin changed his mind and said, "If you don't believe it, ask me and I will answer everything I know."

Cheng Jin pointed at Pei Yu again and said, "Otherwise, you can just ask Mr. Pei."

Pei Yu nodded to Cheng Jin and replied to Chu Chengye, "That's exactly what the empress said. Your Majesty, don't think too much about it."

Chu Chengye originally looked better after hearing Cheng Jin's patient explanation, but when he heard Pei Yu's answer like this, he became even more angry.

What does Pei Yu mean by this?

Wasn't it because Cheng Jin teamed up to deceive him?

What else to explain?

Chu Chengye waved his hand and suddenly stood up, "Okay, I don't want to hear it anymore, I'm tired."

Cheng Jin was a little disbelieving and wanted to step forward to check Chu Chengye's condition, but was held back by Pei Yu beside him.

Pei Yu whispered to Cheng Jin, "The emperor must be tired too, so why not let the emperor rest first."

Cheng Jin nodded.

Thinking about it, Chu Chengye must have fallen asleep and been shouted at when he arrived at Shou'an Palace at this time, so he must be tired.

She responded: "Then I won't say anything. You rest first, and I will go back first."
