After listening to my voice, the villain became addicted to the plot

Xu Jilin thought in her mind.

She definitely couldn't let Cheng Jin go to Dali Temple, so that things would be out of her control.

But Qu Wanxin is so noisy, which is also detrimental to herself. If Qu Wanxin knows that this matter is her own handiwork, she may also have other ideas, and things will not be easy to handle at that time.

Xu Jilin could only comfort Qu Wanxin first. She whispered to Qu Wanxin: "You don't have to be so impatient. The Ai family has its own plans in mind."

Qu Wanxin nodded and stood peacefully next to Xu Jilin, unable to hide the pride in her eyebrows.

Xu Jilin gave the man who was pressed to the ground a signal with her eyes, and the man immediately understood.

Xu Jilin said: "Since Concubine Rong is going to Dali Temple, she must feel that she is innocent. Since the Ai family is here, Concubine Rong will not be wronged."

Cheng Jin was speechless and wanted to laugh.

[You are not wronging me, you are trying to kill me wrongly. 】

Cheng Jin said perfunctorily: "Thank you, Queen Mother."

Xu Jilin nodded, "In this case, Concubine Rong said she was unjustly accused, so why not ask who this man is, so that Concubine Rong can be cleared."

Cheng Jin lowered his eyes and looked at the man.

The man also raised his head and met Cheng Jin's eyes.

Cheng Jin said coldly: "I have never made enemies in the palace. Who sent you?"

The man just shook his head.

You really don't make enemies with others, but it's because you are too ostentatious. People who are too dazzling in the palace will never end well.

Although Cheng Jin relied on Chu Chengye, Chu Chengye was the king of a country after all and could not guard the harem all the time.

Cheng Jin looked at him for a while and saw that he had no intention of saying anything, so he told Xu Jilin the truth.

"I don't know who he is, so I might as well send him to Dali Temple. Then the torture will be used on him. No matter how tough his words are, he will be punished."

Xu Jilin ignored Cheng Jin's words about sending people to Dali Temple, "Since Concubine Rong said she doesn't know, the Ai family will ask."

Xu Jilin stood up, walked to the man, pretended not to know anything and asked:

"Don't be afraid. Tell the truth to the Aijia."

"If you tell me, the Aijia will guarantee that nothing will happen to you. But if you don't tell me, if you want to save the person behind you and allow her to cause trouble to the harem, the Aijia will definitely make you regret it."

Cheng Jin looked like he was watching a show, "The Queen Mother, please tell me that since he has offended Mr. Hui, why not just drag him out and beat him to death with sticks, so that the harem can be kept clean."

Xu Jilin glanced at Cheng Jin and said nothing.

Qu Wanxin said sarcastically: "Concubine Rong is very cruel. He works hard for you and is under your instructions. As his master, you don't want to save his life. You are really cruel."

Cheng Jin smiled brightly, "It's really funny what Mr. Hui Gui said. Not to mention that I am speaking out to seek justice for you. Forget it if you are ungrateful. You have framed me several times. It is impossible to say that this matter was directed and acted by yourself. The one who framed me falsely."

When Cheng Jin said this, he looked purposefully in the direction of Xu Jilin. Cheng Jin's gaze was so obvious that Xu Jilin must have noticed it, but he still pretended not to know and listened to the two of them without changing his expression.

[Qu Wanxin, I’m reminding you. 】

[Whether you can hear it or not depends on your consciousness. ]    Qu Wanxin didn't hear it at all, and only thought that these words were Cheng Jin's humiliation to her. She cut out her eyes fiercely and turned to look at the man in front of her.

Qu Wanxin said: "Look, your good and loyal master, you have devoted your life for her, but she doesn't know how to pity you and even wants you to die. Why don't you just tell the truth, maybe you can still survive."

Qu Wanxin saw the man trembling, as if he was going to attack soon.

She continued: "If you said, I will pretend that I don't know about today's matter and will not pursue it. The Queen Mother just said that she will save your life. How do you choose? Do you still want to think about it?"

The man seemed to have figured it out, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, but it was actually Xu Jilin who gave him a look.

He cried: "I said, I said, I said everything. I just ask the Queen Mother and the young master to spare this slave's life."

"A slave is a guard in a palace. Concubine Rong came to me a few days ago and asked me to perform a play to frame Hui Guiren. She said that if the slave listened to her, she would give him endless glory and wealth. If he didn't listen, I’m going to kill the slave.”

"This slave was forced to do such a disrespectful thing."

Cheng Jin had already guessed that Xu Jilin was going to use this trick.

When Qu Wanxin heard what the guard said, she beamed with joy and raised her eyebrows at Cheng Jin proudly.

After the guard finished speaking, he knelt down and crawled to Xu Jilin's side, "I have already said that I would like to ask the Queen Mother to spare my life."

Ju Xiang, who was next to Xu Jilin, stepped forward and slapped the guard several times. She only stopped when the corners of the guard's mouth and face swelled up and blood slowly started to flow from the corners of his mouth.

"You are disrespectful to Mr. Hui Gui, and you deserve to die. But if you reveal the mastermind, you can stop the loss in time, and the Aijia will spare your life."

Xu Jilin looked at Cheng Jin, "Concubine Rong, what else do you have to say now?"

Cheng Jin was not anxious about the imminent accusation. Instead, she found it funny. She calmly said to Xu Jilin: "Empress Dowager, please don't rush to convict me. I also have witnesses to prove my innocence."

Xu Jilin looked at Cheng Jin. Now that there were witnesses and physical evidence, she wanted to see what Cheng Jin had to say.

Cheng Jin looked back at Cuizhu.

Cuizhu immediately understood what Cheng Jin meant and knelt on the ground.

Cheng Jin said: "Cui Zhu, when have I seen this person before?"

Cuizhu shook his head and said: "I serve you every day. Your Majesty has never seen me, and I have never seen you either."

Xu Jilin felt that Cheng Jin was driven crazy. Everyone knew that Cuizhu was Cheng Jin's personal maid. How could she be a witness and how could her words be believed.

"Concubine Rong, Cuizhu is yours, how can you be a witness?" Xu Jilin asked.

Cheng Jin smiled and said, "I am confused because of my anxiety, but since Cuizhu's words cannot be believed, how can I believe the guard's words? Maybe there is his master present, who is putting the blame on me. "

Xu Jilin heard Cheng Jin's hint and said nothing.

Qu Wanxin couldn't hold it in any longer and said, "Concubine Rong, the truth is in front of you. It's useless for you to quibble."

Cheng Jin ignored Qu Wanxin's provocation and looked at the beaten bodyguard with a bruised nose and swollen face, "You said that a few days ago, Miyamoto Palace came to you to frame Hui Gui. How many days ago was it? When was it? I was here again. When did I meet you? Did I give you any token?"

The guard was confused by Cheng Jin's long list of questions. He glanced at Xu Jilin for help.
