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

Cheng Jin noticed it immediately with sharp eyes and sneered: "I asked you, what do you think the Queen Mother is doing? Although the Queen Mother is kind-hearted, she is also fair and will not let you wrong me."

Cheng Jin said to Xu Jilin: "Empress Dowager, is it okay for me to ask him these things?"

When Cheng Jin said this, Xu Jilin couldn't say no, so she could only nod.

Without the protection of Xu Jilin, the guard had no choice but to answer Cheng Jin's pressing questions. He could only roll his eyes and say randomly:

"Your Majesty has a noble status, so naturally she won't give any tokens to your slaves."

Cheng Jin nodded without refuting, "You're right, you don't deserve it."

The guard hesitated for a moment and then continued, "The servant I met a few days ago was so frightened that I lost my mind and cannot remember clearly."

Cheng Jin said: "You can't do this. Others can't believe you. Think about it carefully and speak more clearly."

Guard: "..."

Although the guard didn't know what Cheng Jin was going to do, he still thought about it seriously, and then said: "It was the slave that Imperial Concubine Rong found three days ago. He was outside the gate of Chonghua Palace. These are the words that the slave said."

Cheng Jin retorted, "No, I have never been to Chonghua Palace."

The guard sweated and said, "I remember wrongly. That is the Spring Harmony Palace, outside the gate of the Empress's palace."

Cheng Jin smiled and said, "You remember wrong again. During the garrison three days ago, I was accompanying the emperor in Jingyang Palace. Where did I find the time to plot this with you?"

The guard was kneeling with his head down, big drops of sweat hitting the ground, "That's...that's..."

Cheng Jin interrupted him and said, "Since you said yes, then it must be."

Cheng Jin turned around and looked at Xu Jilin, "Then I must have remembered it wrong. Why don't we invite the emperor to come and let him think about it for me? If it is really like what he said, then I will be willing to plead guilty and return the favor to you. A clean slate.”

After hearing Cheng Jin's words, Xu Jilin's breathing gradually became heavier and her face became colder and colder.

Xu Jilin originally wanted to let Cheng Jin struggle to his death, cooperating with Cheng Jin to treat her like a monkey for so long.

She had long known about the omissions in this, and knew that Xu Jilin was unwilling to let Cheng Jin go to Dali Temple for questioning because of royal considerations. When it came to Chu Chengye, she had no excuse.

Xu Jilin clenched her fists and was silent for a long time before uttering a sentence, "The emperor is busy with government affairs. Since it is a misunderstanding, there is no need to bring this matter to the emperor and make him unhappy for nothing."

Qu Wanxin became a little anxious after hearing Xu Jilin's intention to let Cheng Jin go. She asked Cheng Jin:

"Concubine Rong, are you guilty of being so strong-minded? What happened is what you instigated. Even if you bring it to the attention of the emperor, nothing will change."

Cheng Jin smiled calmly, "As Hui Gui said, I will not deny the things I did. I did not force my words, but just asked some normal questions out of common sense."

"Actually, I have been to Chonghua Palace. The emperor did not call me to serve him three days ago. I just lied to him a few words. He immediately lost his footing and changed his words randomly."

"It can be seen that what he said about meeting me is not true, so why should I feel guilty? Even if I make trouble in front of the emperor, I will not be afraid. Even if it is the person who really instigated this matter, I have to be anxious. ”

When Qu Wanxin heard what Cheng Jin said so truthfully, she felt touched in her heart. She couldn't help but believe in Cheng Jin. However, as soon as the thought came out, she was suddenly suppressed by a force coming from somewhere in her body.

It seemed that she had no other choice but to go against Cheng Jin and distrust Cheng Jin.

Qu Wanxin was forced to say harshly: "It's not who you are, except that you would treat me like this. You targeted me when I first entered the palace. You were jealous that I was brought into the palace by the emperor himself." Cheng Jin looked arrogant. He smiled and said, "You said that before. What else do I need to be jealous of you now?"

Qu Wanxin couldn't say anything else, but she was still unwilling to admit defeat.

Xu Jilin saw that the two of them were in a stalemate like this. Cheng Jin looked like he was sure of winning and could not tell Qu Wanxin about what happened today.

However, Cheng Jin did not fall down. Qu Wanxin, a chess piece that she could use, had a different intention towards her. If she could not use it, then the gain would outweigh the loss.

Now the loss must be stopped in time, and Cheng Jin cannot really bring this matter to Chu Chengye.

Xu Jilin nodded her head forcefully and calmly, as if she were an outsider, "Okay, you don't have to argue anymore."

"Although Aijia is old, he is not old or confused. Aijia can hear clearly from the side."

"Concubine Rong just asked a few simple questions, but this servant couldn't even answer this question. It can be seen that this servant was not ordered by Concubine Rong at all, and he has never met Concubine Rong. I'm afraid there is something else behind this. others."

Cheng Jin bowed to Xu Jilin and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your willingness to clear my name."

Qu Wanxin had an expression of disbelief on her face, "Are you going to let Concubine Rong go just like that? What about the humiliation and grievances I have suffered? Do I deserve it all?"

Xu Jilin comforted her: "The Ai family knows about it, and the Ai family will investigate and find out the matter, but this has nothing to do with Concubine Rong."

"Why not close it!"

Qu Wanxin said loudly: "This guard has already said that it was Concubine Rong who ordered it. Why didn't the Queen Mother punish Concubine Rong for her crime? Instead, she allowed Concubine Rong to ask questions. She is eloquent and eloquent. Who can speak better than her? , can’t we just say that Concubine Rong is innocent with these words?”

"I also ask the Queen Mother to make the decision for my concubine. We can't just let Concubine Rong go."

Seeing Qu Wanxin in front of her, Xu Jilin was so angry that she clutched the armrests of the chair.

Cheng Jin also spoke for Qu Wanxin, "Yes, the Queen Mother, you really have to make the decision for Hui Gui, otherwise please invite the emperor."

Qu Wanxin glared at Cheng Jin fiercely.

Xu Jilin was so angry when she heard Cheng Jin mentioned Chu Chengye again. If Chu Chengye came, wouldn't Chu Chengye know all the things she had done.

This is absolutely not okay.

Chu Chengye was not close to her to begin with. If this incident broke out of the hearts of mother and son, how could she speak for Chu Huaian in front of Chu Chengye.

Thinking of this, Xu Jilin raised her hand and slapped Qu Wanxin.

"What are you going to do! Don't you think it's not embarrassing enough now? Now the fact that you have a secret meeting with your lover here is making a big fuss in the harem. Don't you think the Ai family is ashamed of you?"

"The Ai family said they would find out for you, and they will find out for you."

"Those who are making so much noise in the palace are probably because they haven't learned the rules when they were locked up in the palace a few days ago. It's better to lock them up for another month and learn them carefully."

Qu Wanxin's face was burning with pain. Rather than Xu Jilin slapping her, she was more shocked that Xu Jilin actually helped Cheng Jin.
