Seeing that Cheng Jin shook his head and then made no move, Xu Jilin didn't care too much.

She stayed with Cheng Jin for so long today just for a formality.

It was her order to release Qu Wanxin, but now that Cheng Jin has nodded, Cheng Jin must not be able to say anything in front of Chu Chengye.

Xu Jilin chatted with Cheng Jin for so long, and she had almost touched Cheng Jin.

Although she can capture Chu Chengye's heart with her outstanding appearance and good words, this is only temporary.

The most indispensable thing in this palace is beauty, and the emperor is the most half-hearted and changeable.

How many days can Cheng Jin be proud of this?

Although everything Cheng Jin said was to make Xu Jilin happy, he was too straightforward and didn't seem to have any serious intentions.

Although Cheng Jin is beautiful, he is actually stupid, which is not a big obstacle.

Although Qu Wanxin no longer dares to confront Cheng Jin as before, it can be seen from her eyes that Qu Wanxin hates Cheng Jin very much.

The three of them had their own concerns and naturally had nothing to say, but with a few words of agreement, Xu Jilin let Cheng Jin go back.

"Huigui, please stay."

Qu Wanxin pretended to be surprised and timid.

"Although you have been punished for contradicting Concubine Rong, there is no one in the palace, and the Ai family should teach you the rules."

Qu Wanxin immediately knelt down and said, "I am willing to listen to the Queen Mother's teachings."

Before Cheng Jin left, he saw Xu Jilin and Qu Wanxin in this situation.

Cheng Jin also understood that this was what was being played for her.

Cheng Jin followed their wishes, begged for Qu Wanxin's favor, and then left.

After Cheng Jin left, Xu Jilin asked Qu Wanxin: "What do you think of Concubine Rong?"

Qu Wanxin looked at Cheng Jin's back, gritted her teeth and said: "She is so clever and hypocritical. If it weren't for her, how could I have been locked up in Qixiu Palace by the emperor for so long?"

"That's because you're stupid!" Xu Jilin interrupted Qu Wanxin mercilessly.

"What is your status now, and what is her status? Not to mention putting you in solitary confinement, so what if she gets someone to beat you? She just makes up any excuse. Do you think the emperor believes you or her?"

"Then Concubine Rong humiliated me so much before. Can I just endure it? I'm complaining for myself." Qu Wan said angrily.

"You talk about fairness in the harem? I've been in this harem for decades. What haven't I seen? Fairness? It's really a rare thing."

"When I was your age, I had seen people in this palace being beaten to death who were clearly unjustly accused, and I had seen people having their tongues pulled out just because they said the wrong thing. Do you think it's fair? Who in this palace is fair? , only fair to the powerful.”

"You framed Concubine Rong and pushed you into the lake, so she should never be able to recover."

"You are stupid because you believed someone you shouldn't trust. That Chuntao is an old man in the palace. She is so cunning that no one dares to use her. Concubine Rong is so careless that she was pushed into her palace. It's better for you. I believed her words and fell into her trap."

Qu Wanxin lowered her head, "I am not thinking carefully."

"It's been discovered that you framed Concubine Rong. She must have been wary of you for a long time. It will be difficult for you to do anything again."

Qu Wanxin raised her head and looked at Xu Jilin, "The Queen Mother, please make it clear."

Xu Jilin sighed, "The Ai family knows that you and An'er have a deep relationship, but now that you are a concubine and he is a prince, you must not meet in secret."

Qu Wanxin was stunned for a moment. She was not allowed to meet Chu Huai'an. How could she develop a relationship with Chu Huai'an? Then how could she ascend to the lower position after Chu Huai'an ascended the throne, if she was preempted by others?

Qu Wanxin thought to herself that she had now figured it out. If she wanted to live well in this dynasty, she could only reach a position below this person and above ten thousand people. No one could hinder her plan.

Since we are meeting secretly, we need to be careful and careful so that Xu Jilin won't know about it when the time comes.

Qu Wanxin hid these thoughts in the deepest place and nodded towards Xu Jilin.

"Yes, I have remembered it." Xu Jilin said: "But to make Concubine Rong fall out of favor, we still need to find some way."

"The Ai family looks at Concubine Rong's attitude towards you today. It doesn't look like she wants to make things worse. She seems to be afraid of you."

Cheng Jin sneered, "She's afraid of me? Isn't she afraid of me bad enough?"

"That's not necessarily true. The Ai family doesn't think Cheng Jin is a scheming person. Go check out Cheng Jin's tone. If she really doesn't want to have a fight with you, you can take advantage of her."

Qu Wanxin listened carefully.

"Invite Cheng Jin to the pond in the back garden. It's the most secluded place. Normal people won't go there. They only go there to do some shady things. The Ai family will arrange people there. All you need to do is lure her there."

Qu Wanxin asked: "What if she doesn't go?"

Xu Jilin said, "If we don't go, the Ai family will naturally have other options."

Cheng Jin felt uneasy after returning to Chunhe Palace, always feeling that something was going to happen.

During lunch, Cheng Jin told Cuizhu in advance, "I don't have a good appetite today, so I don't need to prepare too much."

Cuizhu was used to it. Cheng Jin complained about his poor appetite every day and didn't miss a bite when it was lunch time.

However, Cuizhu also noticed that something was wrong with Cheng Jin today. She asked with some worry: "Madam, what's wrong with you? Why did you only use three bowls for lunch?"

Cheng Jin: "..."

Cheng Jin put down his bowl and chopsticks, looked at Cuizhu seriously and asked, "Do you think there is any chance of winning if Hui Gui and I really break up?"

Cuizhu immediately became energetic when she mentioned this. She stood in front of Cheng Jin with bright eyes and said, "Your Majesty, I have figured it out."

"If you want me to say that your concubine is the same as Hui Guiren, then there is no suspense. Your Majesty is a noble concubine, and the emperor likes you. Hui Guiren is just a nobleman. Even if he is released by the Queen Mother today, he will not be one-tenth as big as the empress. You can kill her a hundred times."

Cheng Jin was ashamed.

【Do you believe me so much? 】

[To tell you the truth, what I told you is exactly the opposite. None of us are Qu Wanxin’s opponents. Even Chu Chengye fell under Qu Wanxin’s pomegranate skirt in the later period. We were tortured by her. 】

Cheng Jin looked at Cuizhu's confident expression and didn't want to dampen her morale. She patted Cuizhu on the shoulder and said, "You're right."

With Cheng Jin's affirmation, Cuizhu became more confident, with a proud rooster posture.

Also.

It's a little presumptuous of her to say no before she even gives it a try.

In this harem, you can't hide forever. Even if you hide, the swords stabbing you will not stop.

Then just fight back.

Just as Cheng Jin was thinking about it, Ziying pressed people in outside.

"Mother, this person is sneaking around outside."

The palace maid struggled and shouted, "Let me go quickly."

"What are you being sneaky about? I am Hui Gui's caring maid. My master asked me to come here for some reason."

"You're pressing me down like this, what do you want me to say?"

Ziying didn't let go at all, "I didn't cover your mouth, so why can't you say it anymore?"
