Chapter 36: Just poisoned, not dead

"Oh." Cheng Jin nodded.

Cuizhu walked to Cheng Jin's side with some confusion, "Ms., why do you have such an attitude? Shouldn't it be because you are worried or nervous?"

I'm worried about nervous Chu Chengye?

Am I okay?

He was just poisoned, not dead.

Chu Chengye looked like he had offended everyone. It was normal for someone to poison him. Cheng Jin wanted to do it.

But no chance.

It would be best for Chu Chengye to put a whole packet of laxatives in his tea before going to court.

You're sweating now, bro.

Cheng Jin felt a little relieved that someone had done such a thing before Cheng Jin.

The wicked have their own day.

Cheng Jin glanced at Cuizhu, who was still expecting her attitude. She sighed, and her expression changed very quickly.

"What! The Emperor has been poisoned. Who dares to have such courage? Is there anything wrong with the Emperor?!"

[I’ll pamper you once, girl. 】

【We have whatever attitude you want. 】

Cuizhu nodded with satisfaction and replied to Cheng Jin: "The emperor found out early, but nothing happened. Now the imperial doctors are waiting in the emperor's palace, for fear that something will happen to the emperor."

Cheng Jin didn't know whether he heard it or not, but nodded inadvertently, "Are there any pastries in the kitchen today?"

Cuizhu stamped her foot and looked at Cheng Jin, "Mother."

Cheng Jin nodded quickly, "Okay, okay."

Cuizhu brought the snacks that Cheng Jin was thinking about from outside the door, and then continued, "Several ministers were waiting in the palace before leaving, saying they were thinking about the emperor's dragon body."

Cheng Jin took a bite of the pastry and sneered in his heart.

[Those old guys are not thinking about the emperor's dragon body. I'm afraid they want to watch Chu Chengye die with their own eyes. 】

Cheng Jin frowned, Cuizhu thought Cheng Jin had something to say, and was a little surprised.

"Do you think those ministers are a little too strange? I don't see them paying much attention to the Emperor. Now that the Emperor is ill, they are more attentive."

Cheng Jin swallowed the cake in his mouth and blinked twice.

"I just want to say that today's snacks are a bit too sweet. I'm older, my teeth are broken, and my throat hurts."

Cuizhu was also used to Cheng Jin's lack of formality, so he said to himself: "The emperor's poisoning has caused a big fuss, and everyone in the palace and harem knows about it. I heard from others that he will be in solitary confinement." Hui Gui also wants to ask someone to go out and see the emperor, how can we let their group take the advantage?"

A glint flashed in Cuizhu's eyes, "How about we go and have a look too."

Cheng Jin looked at Cuizhu with admiration in his eyes.

[Cuizhu is willing to follow me into the palace probably because he really loves palace fighting. 】

[She is the only one thinking about how to fight in the palace. 】

Cheng Jin shook his head without hesitation, "I won't go."

Then he stood up and had breakfast.

Cuizhu followed Cheng Jin closely, "My Lady, think about it, if we don't go, if Hui Guiren and the others succeed, the Emperor will be thinking of them, and our lives will be difficult in the future. "

Cheng Jin raised his head and looked at Cuizhu, who was earnestly talking, "Do you really want to go?"

Cuizhu nodded fiercely.

"Yes."

Cheng Jin raised his chin and said, "In that case, you can bring some flowers from the courtyard. It's my wish."

Cuizhu: "..." Cuizhu looked at the chrysanthemums of various colors piled everywhere in the palace garden.

This would be the perfect season for chrysanthemums to bloom. Those beautiful flowers needed to be taken care of by the palace staff. Cheng Jin didn't want to, so he just moved the chrysanthemums from the imperial garden for people to enjoy.

Anyway, don’t spend money on what you get for free.

Forget it, I still need to take these flowers to see Chu Chengye. It doesn't even count as borrowing flowers to give to Buddha. Who visits the patient and looks at the chrysanthemums.

The emperor has nothing to do.

Cheng Jin saw Cuizhu making no move, and happened to finish eating himself. He wiped his mouth and said, "Do you think I'm insincere?"

Cuizhu nodded and shook his head.

"That's it."

Cheng Jin walked to the desk as he spoke, raised his hand and picked up the pen, "I'll draw a picture and give it to Chu Chengye."

Cuizhu was overjoyed, Cheng Jin was now normal.

Cuizhu stood aside and waited nervously and excitedly, thinking that this would not only allow Cheng Jin to show her concern in front of the emperor, but also anger the noble man and the inexplicable air of the maid beside her.

Now, they have to seriously compete for favor.

In just a moment, Cheng Jin put down his pen and muttered: "It's so fascinating, lifelike, and vivid."

Hearing what Cheng Jin said, Cuizhu couldn't wait to look at the paper, and the expectant expression on her face immediately dropped.

I saw that Cheng Jin only used a few strokes to outline a person's appearance, but instead of Chu Chengye's appearance, he looked like an old man in his 80s or [-]s.

"Your Majesty, where is the Emperor here? He is obviously an old man?!"

Cheng Jin pointed it out to Cuizhu seriously, "No, no, look carefully. Does the emperor have two eyes and a nose? It's also in the painting. Isn't it exactly the same?"

Green Bamboo: "..."

Who in this world doesn’t have two eyes and one nose?
"And this forehead, it looks like an emperor."

Cuizhu looked at the three marks on her forehead that almost penetrated the paper and was speechless for a long time.

"What I drew is clearly what the emperor looks like."

But Cuizhu just heard Cheng Jin murmuring:

"An old man, Ding, owed me two eggs. I said he would pay me back in three days, but he said he would pay me back in four days. I ran around a lot in three days, picked up six yuan, and lost eight yuan."

Duan Ran would not take Cuizhu to Chu Chengye's palace with these things. Seeing that Cheng Jin really didn't want to go at all, he had to be quiet for a while.

Before Cheng Jin could settle down for a while, he heard someone coming from outside the palace.

Wei An took two young eunuchs into the palace and saluted Cheng Jin.

"The imperial concubine is well."

Seeing Wei An coming, Cheng Jin had a bad feeling and gritted his teeth before nodding.

As expected, Wei An started talking about business after saying hello.

"I must have heard that the emperor was poisoned."

Cheng Jin's performance was quite good, "What? Someone poisoned the emperor."

As he spoke, he fell back as if he was frightened. Cuizhu quickly supported Cheng Jin with quick eyes and hands, and was shocked by how quickly Cheng Jin's attitude changed.

Didn't Cheng Jin look calm just now after hearing the news?

Cheng Jin pretended to be dejected and unable to stand, "Then what's the matter with the emperor?"

Wei An saw that Cheng Jin's reaction was very normal, and it was exactly what the emperor said.

Wei An shook his head, "The emperor is fine, he just drank a little by mistake. However, the poison in the tea has not been seen by any of the imperial doctors in the palace. They are afraid that something is wrong with him, so they dare not slack off."

Cheng Jin looked around with panic eyes, and a few tears fell at the right time, "Then how can it be considered nothing? How did you take care of me, and let that traitor get his hands on me?"
