"Is your mother feeling unwell?" Chu Chengye suddenly raised his voice a little, looked at Xu Jilin anxiously and asked, "Why have you never heard of your mother mentioning it?"

Xu Jilin was a little surprised by Chu Chengye's sudden and enthusiastic reaction, but now she had more pressing matters on her mind.

She couldn't muster any energy, and she could only think about the fact that the army from the capital would arrive in three days. By then, the defenses would be tight, and no matter what they wanted to do, they would have no chance.

Xu Jilin just looked at Chu Chengye and smiled and shook her head, without any other ideas.

She explained softly: "As people get older, they will inevitably have some body ailments. It's not a big deal."

"I won't go there tomorrow. You won't have a good time if Aijia is there. Why don't you just rest in this tent. If you really feel bored, ask someone to accompany Aijia and walk nearby. The emperor doesn't have to worry about Aijia. "

"My son, I know."

Chu Chengye saluted Xu Jilin respectfully, his face hidden in his sleeves expressionless and his eyes cold.

Xu Jilin took the initiative to follow Qiu Lie, whether it was because she wanted to see Chu Chengye, or because she was monitoring Chu Chengye because she was afraid that he would really find out what Chu Huaian had done to harm Chu Huaian, no matter from which aspect. Said that Xu Jilin would never be on his side.

And Xu Jilin didn't plan to follow tomorrow, because she was afraid that if she didn't tonight, she would try her best to see Chu Huai'an and tell him all this and ask him to make countermeasures.

Not long after Xu Jilin left, Wei An quietly walked to Chu Chengye. He hesitated for a long time, then looked at Chu Chengye, as if he didn't know how to speak.

Chu Chengye held his forehead and closed his eyes tightly, feeling a headache, "Just say anything."

Wei An nodded quickly and told Chu Chengye the news he had found out.

"As soon as the Queen Mother left, she found someone who came into her tent. They seemed to be discussing the affairs of the five previous princes, as if they were plotting something. The slaves were far away, and they were afraid of being discovered and messing up the emperor's plan, so they didn't dare Listen carefully."

In fact, what does it matter if you can hear it or not? Even if he didn't listen, Chu Chengye could probably guess it, otherwise there would be no need to set up this game.

Chu Chengye waved his hand tiredly and asked Wei An to go down, saying that everything remained as planned.

After Wei An left, silence returned to the room. Chu Chengye felt inexplicably uneasy, as if something was trying to tear him into pieces.

To say it was heartbreaking would be an understatement.

Chu Chengye sat on the chair and looked at the person on the table thinking about something.

Chu Chengye only felt peaceful inside.

In fact, he had known for a long time that Xu Jilin treated him and Chu Huaian differently.

Chu Chengye has not always been so cold-blooded towards Chu Huai'an. When he first came from the vassal state, he also imagined that everything was slowly getting better. He also looked forward to the days of a strict father, a loving mother, and a good brother, but what he looked forward to Those people tore his dreams into pieces with their own hands.

A cold father and an arrogant brother, he thought that at least Xu Jilin was sincerely good to him. After all, he was also Xu Jilin's biological son. But Xu Jilin's partiality made Chu Chengye realize little by little that it was actually just his own fantasy.

Xu Jilin's kindness to him was just to use the bond between mother and son to control Chu Chengye, so as to give Chu Huai'an a chance to make a comeback.

The curtain of the tent was suddenly opened, and a large amount of dazzling light entered the tent, making Chu Chengye unable to open his eyes.

Cheng Jin ran to Chu Chengye in two steps. She smiled and held the freshly picked flowers in her arms that were still wet with dew in front of Chu Chengye.

Cheng Jin's voice was light, "I haven't seen flowers outside for a long time. Why do I feel that they smell different from the ones that were brought into my palace." Chu Chengye put away all his previous emotions and smiled. : "Is it the flowers that are different or the mood that is different?"

Cheng Jin shook his head, "I don't know, I always feel like something is different."

Chu Chengye said: "Since you like it, replace all the ones in your palace with these when you go back."

Cheng Jin nodded and lowered his eyes to look at the flowers in his arms.

The flowers in her arms were not of one kind, but of various kinds, of all types and colors, and her eyes didn't know which one to focus on.

Qin Shan knew that Chu Chengye was coming to autumn hunting, so he made a lot of preparations in advance, and it seemed particularly pleasant every time.

Chu Chengye stopped talking. After a while, Cheng Jin looked up at him and said, "Are you in a bad mood?"

Hearing Cheng Jin ask this question, Chu Chengye was stunned for a moment, and then quickly laughed out loud.

He smiled, but there was no hint of laughter.

"How could it be? I'm so happy now." When Chu Chengye said these words, he couldn't help but look away. He put his arms around Cheng Jin and said, "With you by my side, how can I be unhappy?"

Cheng Jin sat up straight and looked at Chu Chengye seriously. She asked, "Is the Queen Mother coming?"

Seeing Cheng Jin's words, Chu Chengye did not hide anything, "Yes, I told her everything we discussed before."

"She tested me several times to see if I had really sent all my people to Qingzhou to repair the city. Either to test my reputation and see if there was anyone around me, or to test Chu Huai'an's reputation and find an opportunity."

"I told her directly that she wouldn't believe it. I would send someone to investigate in a hurry. I did send someone to arrive in three days. I don't think she would find anything."

"When I really meet Chu Huai'an, no matter what method he uses, whether it is rebellion or assassination, I will have my own countermeasures."

It was obviously a joyful thing to be able to kill the enemy with your hands, but Chu Chengye couldn't seem to be happy at all. He just had a dull look in his eyes and a dull tone, as if he was telling an extremely ordinary thing.

Cheng Jin raised her head and touched Chu Chengye's back. In fact, she had never thought of how to tell Chu Chengye everything she knew. Seeing that Chu Chengye behaved strangely, she could only pat Chu Chengye slightly to tell him that she was there.

The action of coaxing a child to pat a puppy made Chu Chengye laugh. He pinched Cheng Jin's face and said, "I'm fine."

Cheng Jin felt a little pain from being pinched, and glared at Chu Chengye with his eyes widened, "You're going too far."

"If you comfort me, you can repay me by pinching my face, right? How can a person be so bad..."

Cheng Jin was not really angry, but Chu Chengye kept a cold face and deliberately made him happy.

Cheng Jin knew what was going to happen tomorrow. Since Xu Jilin wanted to help Chu Huai'an, she couldn't do it herself. Chu Chengye had to accept the fact that Xu Jilin would let herself die for Chu Huai'an.

But Xu Jilin was one of the few people who was kind to him in Chu Chengye's memory, and she was also his biological mother. How could he accept it so easily.

Chu Chengye's tone was particularly cute when he was pretending, like a disguised coquetry, his mouth opened and closed, not knowing what he was talking about.
