Chu Chengye really had no choice.

If it had been anyone else, he wouldn't have been so patient, and he would have sent someone to kill Pei Yu long ago.

But listening to Cheng Jin's voice, Pei Yu is the only one who can save him.

Killing himself would mean there is no cure.

But now, Pei Yu is unwilling to go to Beijing with him.

Chu Chengye was walking beside the carriage and saw Cheng Jin suddenly touching his waist, as if he was looking for something else.

Chu Chengye frowned, "What are you looking for?"

Cheng Jin looked back in panic, "It's not an important item at all. It's just a bracelet that the emperor gave to me when I entered the palace. I can't find it now. It may have been left in Lord Pei's courtyard."

Cheng Jin was just making random excuses.

When Cheng Jin first entered the palace, Chu Chengye didn't even know her, so he wouldn't reward her with anything. They were just items distributed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to each palace according to their rank.

Chu Chengye waved it casually, "No need to look for it anymore. Go back to the palace and I will send some to your palace."

[Chu Chengye is rich and powerful! 】

Cheng Jin pretended to be anxious and shook his head, "That one is different. That was the first thing the emperor gave to me. I cherish it."

Chu Chengye's first reaction was that Cheng Jin was talking nonsense, and he stared at Cheng Jin with a scrutinizing eye.

Cheng Jin: "......"

[Okay, okay, I admit, I didn’t lose anything. 】

Just when Cheng Jin was about to forget it, Chu Chengye got on the carriage and said, "Since you cherish it, let's go look for it. Wei An, you and Concubine Rong are together."

When Cheng Jin saw that Chu Chengye agreed, his face couldn't help but light up with joy.

Wei An followed behind. Cheng Jin asked him to search in the front yard while he went directly to the backyard.

Cheng Jin is gambling.

Pei Yu seemed to know that Cheng Jin was coming, but he still stood under the withered peach tree.

Cheng Jin called out "Master Pei".

Pei Yu seemed to look at Cheng Jin with tenderness and stood up.

"I am no longer an official in the court, so you don't have to call me that."

Cheng Jin walked over, thinking that Pei Yu was now a teacher in the countryside, so he changed his title, "Mr."

Pei Yu curled his lips and smiled, "Do you want to persuade me to return to the capital and enter the palace?"

Cheng Jin didn't hide it either, "To be honest with you, sir, it's true that the emperor was killed by a gangster, and now only you can save him."

"Please sir, please help me."

Cheng Jin was about to surrender and salute, but was stopped by Pei Yu, "Your Majesty, just tell me, is it the Emperor or your beloved who is being saved?"

Although Cheng Jin was confused, he still answered honestly, "It's the Emperor."

Chu Chengye, sweetheart?
The donkey's head is not the horse's mouth.

Something seemed to flash in Pei Yu's eyes, fleetingly.

Cheng Jin continued, "Let me be honest with you, sir. He is pure and undisciplined in the countryside. I also know that letting him come to the capital is embarrassing for him. But if the emperor's dragon body is ill, I will not be able to escape death."

"So I ask you, sir, for the sake of our old friendship with my father and our old acquaintance, to come to Beijing and help me."

Cheng Jin said sincerely.

But she was actually uneasy in her heart. What she said was indeed true, but she also took advantage of Pei Yu's feelings and involved him in this turbulent fight.

Cheng Jin had two villains arguing with each other in his heart.

[Cheng Jin, you are really not a human being. 】

【Look down on you. 】

[But I have to live first before you can look down on me. 】

Pei Yu also seemed to see Cheng Jin's confusion, and just smiled like a breeze.Cheng Jin sweated a lot, just betting on whether Pei Yu would agree.

"You and I don't have to talk about this." Pei Yu said, "Since you are the one to speak, what if I give up my freedom and go to Beijing with you?"

Cheng Jin looked surprised, "Sir, do you agree?"

"Then the Emperor just said to Mr. Why don't you want to do it?"

"If I had agreed when I was talking to the emperor, the empress would not have come back again."

Cheng Jin was shocked. He didn't expect that Pei Yu would guess everything about his behavior.

She looked at Pei Yu seriously and showed her palms to him, "Sir, do you know the art of Pu Gua? Can you help me see how long I can live."

After listening to Cheng Jin's words, Pei Yu looked down at Cheng Jin with a smile, and gently pushed her hand, "I don't know how to calculate, I just understand your empress."

Cheng Jin was a little disappointed and said with a smile, "It seems that I am more important than the emperor."

Pei Yu whispered: "The emperor is the emperor, and Xiaojin is Xiaojin."

Cheng Jin didn't hear it clearly, but he was still immersed in the surprise that Pei Yu agreed to come to Beijing and Chu Chengye was saved.

Cheng Jin bowed and said, "Thank you, sir."

"But now is not the time to talk. I told the emperor to look for the bracelet and it's time to go back."

"We will talk about it after we meet in the palace."

Pei Yu nodded and looked at Cheng Jin's back as he went out.

Chu Chengye happened to send Wei An to find her, and saw Cheng Jin coming out with a happy face.

"What's the matter? So happy?"

Cheng Jin got on the carriage with a proud attitude, "Your Majesty, you want to thank me this time. Lord Pei has agreed to come to Beijing. You will send someone here to pick up Lord Pei tomorrow."

Chu Chengye said, "Aren't you looking for the bracelet?"

Cheng Jin touched his nose with some guilt, "I lost it, but I just went to the backyard to meet Mr. Pei and said a few words."

Chu Chengye said: "He listens to you? I didn't know that Concubine Rong was so eloquent that she could speak to the hard-hearted Pei Yu."

Cheng Jin thought of his humble posture in the backyard just now. How could this be said? He could only continue to make excuses.

"The emperor previously only discussed state affairs with Mr. Pei. Mr. Pei's heart is in the fields, so how could he join the court again? However, as soon as Mr. Pei heard that the emperor was unwell, he immediately agreed."

It doesn’t matter if the process is wrong, as long as the result is right.

Chu Chengye looked at Pei Yu's house and just smiled without saying a word.

Chu Chengye was very fast. After returning to the palace, he arranged Pei Yu's position and granted him the title of bachelor of the Hanlin Academy.

The next day, someone was sent to take Pei Yu to Beijing for a safe and happy stay.

The people in the court were already puzzled by Pei Yu's resignation from his hometown and Beijing, and now that he has returned to Beijing, they can't understand it even more.

I want to talk to him. Although Pei Yu is only in his 20s, he likes to be quiet like an old man and doesn't like to communicate with others.

Although they wanted to cling to him, Pei Yu was polite but distant and did not give them a chance.

In the evening, Chu Chengye left Pei Yu behind.

Wei An explained the causes and consequences of Chu Chengye's poisoning beside him. Pei Yu didn't care about this, he just wanted to check Chu Chengye's pulse.

Cheng Jin watched nervously from the side. Now Pei Yu is the last trump card that can cure Chu Chengye.

If he can't...

Pei Yu withdrew his hand and said: "Although the poison in Northern Xinjiang is poisonous, it is not untreatable."

Cheng Jin listened more seriously than anyone else.

"This poison slowly corrodes the body. Although it is expected to be cured, it cannot be eliminated in ten and a half months."

Pei Yu wrote down a few medicinal materials beside him and handed them to Wei An, "These medicinal materials must be taken according to the quantity on the paper, no more, no less."

"Remember, these medicinal materials can only pass through the hands of the father-in-law, and must not be tampered with by others."
