Chapter 111 Today's event was a dead end

Cheng Jin hesitated and looked at Jing'er with mixed feelings.

Xu Jilin seemed to have given Jing'er a death order this time, and she must let Jing'er stay in her palace, otherwise Jing'er would definitely not do such a thing to ruin her appearance.

Jing'er seemed to see Cheng Jin's hesitation, and the tears in her eyes continued to fall, sliding onto the wound just now. She opened her mouth, wanted to say something, but closed it again, removed the handkerchief that Cheng Jin had covered her face, and kowtowed deeply to Cheng Jin again.

"Thank you, Madam. I am a worthless servant and cannot bear this."

Qu Wanxin was frightened by Jing'er's sudden action of scratching her face. Although she felt sorry for this little palace maid, she could not let Cheng Jin off when she caught her doing something wrong.

Qu Wanxin leaned back on the wooden chair and watched the drama. She said to Cheng Jin in a sarcastic tone, "Empress Rong, Jing'er has gone to such lengths to show her loyalty to you. How can she live like this now? No matter who she follows, she will not be asked about the scar on her face. If others hear that she followed Concubine Rong and was rejected by her, everyone will laugh at her."

"Is Concubine Rong so cruel?"

Cheng Jin cursed but still put on a smile. "Since Concubine Hui is worried about Jing'er, why not bring her to your palace? I remember that when Concubine Hui was in confinement, many palace maids and eunuchs came out of Concubine Hui's palace. There are many fewer people. I guess they are short of manpower at this time."

Qu Wanxin saw that Cheng Jin pushed the matter onto herself again. Jing'er was arranged by Xu Jilin, so she had her reasons. She didn't dare to disrupt Xu Jilin's plan easily. Qu Wanxin ignored her words, stood up, saluted Xu Jilin and Cheng Jin, and said:

"After Concubine Jingrong's reminder, I really remembered that there are still some things in the palace. I will take my leave first."

Xu Jilin nodded slightly, and Qu Wanxin left first with the palace maids beside her.

Xu Jilin asked Cheng Jin again, "Is Concubine Rong really not going to keep Jing'er?"

Cheng Jin acted embarrassed, "Queen Dowager, please don't make things difficult for me. I am not good at disciplining servants, and I hate noisy people. I have a headache when there are too many people in the palace. Now there are so many people in the palace, which is enough for me to order around. I understand the Queen Dowager's intention, but you should take Jing'er back."

"In that case, I won't force you."

Xu Jilin nodded, and stood up to take Jing'er away. Cheng Jin couldn't keep Jing'er, so she had to help Jing'er up.

Jing'er was unwilling and just knelt on the ground and didn't get up.

She cried softly, "I really want to serve you, Madam."

The wound on Jing'er's face was still bleeding, but she didn't care and just let it flow. It looked a little creepy against her pale face.

Before Cheng Jin could touch Jing'er, she suddenly stood up and tried to hit the wall. Fortunately, Ziying was quick to stop her.

Xu Jilin got angry when she saw Jing'er like this.

"You followed me before, and this is how I taught you to do things?"

"Rong Guifei just doesn't want to keep you, and you want to die? Why is your life so worthless? If you really can't figure out why you want to die, you should die far away. If you scare Rong Guifei, even if you die a hundred times it will not be enough."

Xu Jilin's voice was exceptionally loud, completely different from the gentle empress dowager she usually portrayed.

Xu Jilin said to Cheng Jin: "Noble Concubine Rong, I don't know what happened to Jing'er today. She is usually very well-behaved by my side. I don't know what provoked her today. She cut her face and tried to commit suicide."

"I scared you today. I won't take Jing'er away. She will stay here and listen to your decision. It will also relieve your anger."

When Cheng Jin thought clearly, Xu Jilin had completely surrounded her.

She said why Xu Jilin sent someone to her palace so abnormally today.

Not only did she want Chu Chengye to notice Jing'er in Cheng Jin's palace, so that she could stay by Chu Chengye's side and work for Xu Jilin, but more importantly, Jing'er's coming today was a dead end.

Whether Jing'er stayed or not, it would be beneficial to Xu Jilin.

If Jing'er stayed in Chunhe Palace, Xu Jilin would have a spy next to Cheng Jin, and could monitor Cheng Jin at all times.

Jing'er was Xu Jilin's person, and Cheng Jin could not touch her as long as Jing'er did not do anything out of line, otherwise it would be disrespectful to the Queen Mother, which was exactly what Xu Jilin wanted, jumping into the fire pit.

If Cheng Jin disagreed, Xu Jilin had no intention of letting Jing'er walk out of Chunhe Palace alive.

The resolute look on Jing'er's face when she scratched her face showed that she was forced to do so. Xu Jilin had no choice but to test Cheng Jin's bottom line and get Cheng Jin's consent.

However, Cheng Jin still disagreed. If she could not live as a spy and get close to Chu Chengye, Jing'er would be useless.

Jing'er's death was Xu Jilin's last move. Jing'er scratched her face, and with Qu Wanxin's help, Qu Wanxin had already spread the news that Cheng Jin was jealous of a palace maid's appearance and forced her to scratch her face.

When the time comes, once Jing'er dies, there will be no evidence of her death. Regardless of whether Cheng Jin did it or not, Jing'er's death will naturally be blamed on Cheng Jin.

If it is better, it will only reach Chu Chengye's ears, and it will be something that he believes or not.

If someone intends to cause trouble, it will be reported to the previous dynasty that Cheng Jin ignored the Queen Mother, despised the palace rules, and was jealous, killing the maid sent by the Queen Mother. Then all the criticism and criticism of the previous dynasty will be directed at Cheng Jin.

Chu Huaian is about to return to the capital, and with Duke Xu sitting beside him, those factions that support Chu Huaian are ready to make a move again. Previously, Cheng Jin was so prominent in the court, and those people thought that it was Cheng Jin who was bewitching Chu Chengye, so they would definitely start with Cheng Jin. Before

Cheng Jin finished thinking, Xu Jilin had already left, leaving Jing'er here to let her do

whatever she wanted. Cheng Jin lowered her eyes and glanced at Jing'er who was held down by Ziying. She kept crying, but she didn't say a word, as if she had already expected that she would die.

Although Cheng Jin has seen many things where human lives are worthless after traveling here, she really can't kill people for a while.

If she hadn't traveled here and knew the story had developed to the plot, she would probably be just like Jing'er, a cannon fodder used by the powerful.

Cuizhu had already brought the imperial physician with her. She had already known almost everything that had just happened outside the door. When she saw this scene in the house, she didn't know what to do.

Cuizhu hesitated for a while and said, "Your Majesty, the imperial physician is here."

Jing'er glanced at Cheng Jin and closed her eyes resignedly.

She knew that she was doomed to die. When Xu Jilin asked Jing'er to accompany her to Chunhe Palace today, Jing'er realized it.

Regardless of whether Cheng Jin kept her, her life was like duckweed, and she could not control it.
