Chapter 6 The thief shouts to catch the thief
Chuntao was smart and knew that Cheng Jin, an inexperienced official lady, would naturally not be able to do anything like execution.

What he had to do now was to beg for mercy and make Cheng Jin relent.

She has always been careless about these things of her own. She grew up in a mountain of gold and silver, so how could she be so angry about some property.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was just blinded by lard for a moment, so I did such a thing. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

She cried, kneeling and crawling to Cheng Jin's feet. Cuizhu went over first, blocking Chuntao who was about to grab Cheng Jing's trousers.

"You made such a mistake, how dare you beg for mercy and argue with me."

Cheng Jin lowered his head and glanced at Chuntao who was kneeling at his feet. He was silent for a long time before speaking, pretending to be considerate:

"Chuntao, if it's just because of this matter, I don't want to blame you."

After listening to Cheng Jin's words, Chuntao thought that her begging for mercy was in vain, and immediately kowtowed and thanked her, "Thank you for your magnanimity, and thank you for sparing my life."

Before Chuntao could finish speaking, Cheng Jin suddenly raised his voice.

The little girl's voice was no longer soft and weak, and it seemed to be filled with murderous intent, as if she wanted to eat the spring peach in front of her alive.

Hearing Cheng Jin's anger, all the eunuchs and maids in the palace knelt on one side, not daring to look up at her.

Cheng Jin's temperament was not considered good in the palace, but she had always been jealous of Hui Gui, who was also a concubine, and caused trouble. She had never been so angry with the slaves around her as she was today. cowardly.

"If I spare your life, who will spare my life? You took my personal jade pendant and sent it to Mr. Hui Gui. You wanted to prove that I pushed Mr. Hui into the lake and frame this kind of thing on me. , why didn’t you say spare my life?”

When Chuntao heard Cheng Jin say this, her spine went cold and her whole body felt weak.

If there is forgiveness for stealing Cheng Jin's things, then if the matter of teaming up with Hui Gui to deceive and frame Cheng Jin was discovered, it would really be a capital crime.

She couldn't even say anything to beg for mercy now.

Cheng Jin didn't bother to talk nonsense to her. He waved his hand and motioned for the person to drag Chuntao down. He walked past Chuntao towards the main hall.

Seeing that the eunuch was coming to drag her away, Chuntao didn't want to die, so she could only beg Cheng Jin for mercy over and over again.

"Your Majesty, I don't want you to forgive me. I am willing to make amends for my past mistakes. I also ask your Majesty to trust you again and spare your life."

"Hui Gui, Hui Gui will come to apologize to the empress tomorrow. She got the news from somewhere that the emperor will also come, so she plans to put on a play for the emperor tomorrow to make the emperor hate the empress even more."

Cheng Jin stopped and thought carefully about Chuntao's words.

The credibility of Chuntao's words is not high, but at this moment when her life is at stake, it is impossible for a duplicitous person like her to think of working for Qu Wanxin before she dies.

If Qu Wanxin is really looking for trouble tomorrow as Chuntao said, then taking this opportunity to let Qu Wanxin succeed, wouldn't it be possible to stay away from Qu Wanxin, the heroine, and Chu Chengye, the villain?

It was said that there were still three years left before the Fifth Prince's rebellion. The sooner he could stay away from the disputes among their protagonists, the more likely he would be to survive.

Find a time to meet with your stubborn father and stubborn brother, and ask them to get less involved in the partisan disputes between the emperor and the fifth prince in the court. Maybe when the emperor falls, he will be able to follow the later selection from the palace. Other concubines can also return home.

Thinking of this, Cheng Jin's expression softened, he looked back at Chuntao and raised his eyebrows to signal to the guard who was holding Chuntao down.

"Let go of her."

Chuntao cried with joy, "Thank you, your Majesty, I will do my best to help you and repay your kindness."

Cheng Jin smiled and said, "You will stay in the palace today and tell Hui Gui everything about my every move. You can say whatever I say." Now is the only possibility to survive, and Chuntao will definitely want to seize this opportunity. .

"You just say that the emperor is furious today because of Hui Guiren's affairs. He wants to execute me immediately. He said that my current position as concubine will not last long. As long as someone adds fuel to the fire, I will never have a chance to stand up again."

After Cheng Jin finished talking to Chuntao, Chuntao repeated Cheng Jin's words to Hui Guiren without any hesitation.

After Chuntao left, Cuizhu looked at Cheng Jin with some confusion, "Why does the empress still trust Chuntao? No matter what she did, it would not be an exaggeration for the empress to beat her to death. Now the empress sent her to report to Hui Gui. , if the emperor comes tomorrow, he just fell into her scheme."

Cheng Jin shook his head, "How could I trust Chuntao again? If she betrayed me once today, she will definitely betray me again. After tomorrow, I will send someone to take Chuntao to the Criminal Punishment Division."

"As for Hui Gui's arrival tomorrow, it would be the best if she falls into her scheme."

The second day Jin was awakened by Cuizhu.

Cheng Jin opened his eyes and looked at Cuizhu, feeling hopeless.

"Cui Zhu, do you know? Calling me now is like lifting the lid of my coffin."

Cuizhu was stunned for a moment, "What coffin lid? Why did the queen say such unlucky words? Hui Gui is coming soon. I will help the queen wash up. Let's not let others take advantage of it."

You all act like empresses and are so curly, who gets up earlier than you?

After Cheng Jin packed up, Qu Wanxin was already waiting in the side hall.

Cheng Jin looked at Qu Wanxin's sitting posture and couldn't help but worry about her.

She has a beautiful face and beautiful appearance. She clearly looks like the heroine in the book, but her behavior is no different from that of modern people.

He leaned back on the chair with his legs crossed, and the handkerchief in his hand was thrown into the air again and again as if it were a handkerchief played by two people from the Northeast.

Qu Wanxin in the book was one of the most talented women in the capital before her soul was invaded by Qu Wanxin who came from modern times. But now, there is no trace of what a woman of this era should look like.

In this age of cannibalism, having your own thoughts may be a good thing, but being too arrogant can indeed lead to death.

As soon as Cheng Jin came over, Qu Wanxin stood up. After standing for a long time, she thought about saluting, and then put her hands on her waist randomly.

"Please ask your Majesty how you are doing."

Good morning?
Who is having fun this morning?

I think it would be better if you came later.

She nodded slightly as a response, waiting for Qu Wanxin to make a big move.

"I heard that the emperor came to your Majesty's place yesterday to question me. I don't know who said the news that I fell into the water was her fault, which made the Emperor misunderstand you. You should have come to clarify it for your Majesty yesterday, but I was really feeling unwell yesterday. , I couldn’t get out of bed."

【You don’t know who it is?But isn't it you who are here again shouting "Catch the thief"? Aren't you just thinking that I suffered a humiliation from Chu Chengye yesterday and are here to ridicule me again today, waiting for me to become angry and make the harem uneasy and then knock me down in one fell swoop? 】

Listening to Qu Wanxin's false words, Cheng Jin smiled calmly and followed the attitude that Qu Wanxin wanted.

"Yes, I don't know which slave slandered me like this. If I find out, I will definitely pull out her tongue."
