Chapter 121 Don't be angry, listen to my excuses, I'll make it up for you

Xu Jilin still smiled at Cuizhu, but her eyes were looking at Cheng Jin who was lying on the bed.

Cheng Jin saw that it was Xu Jilin who came, and immediately wanted to get out of bed to salute.

Xu Jilin hurriedly pulled Cheng Jin, making an eager gesture.

"Empress Rong, please stop saluting. You are not feeling well, just have a good rest."

"The Imperial Physician Su is here, tell him if you feel uncomfortable. The Imperial Physician Su has been in the palace for so many years, and his medical skills are the best. You can rest assured and let him see you."

Cheng Jin hurriedly refused.

"I just rested for a while and I feel much better."

Cheng Jin looked up at Su Shen and nodded at him, saying, "Don't bother Su Imperial Physician."

"It's so late, why bother Su Imperial Physician to come here?"

Cheng Jin gestured to Cui Zhu to send Su Shen out.

"Cui Zhu, please send Su Imperial Physician back to the Imperial Hospital."

Before Cui Zhu could respond, Xu Jilin interrupted her. She raised her hand to stop Cui Zhu from going forward and continued to talk to Cheng Jin.

"I am relieved now that Concubine Rong is well."

"But Concubine Rong fainted a few days ago because of something in the palace. I don't know if the imperial physician came to see her. Today she suddenly felt unwell again. It's hard for me not to worry."

"Since Imperial Physician Su is here today, let him take a look at you. If you are really fine, I will not worry about you anymore."

Xu Jilin said, and put her hand on Cheng Jin's.

Xu Jilin's hand was warm, but Cheng Jin felt it was icy cold. She subconsciously wanted to pull away, but was held down by Xu Jilin's hand and could not move.

Xu Jilin immediately waved for Su Shen to come over.

"Doctor Su, please check on Concubine Rong."

Su Shen responded, and walked to the bedside, put a square towel on Cheng Jin's wrist, and took her pulse.

Cheng Jin's heart was about to jump out of her chest. She pretended to be sick today just to avoid the eyes of those people in the hall, but since she had already said that she was sick, Su Shen would prescribe some medicine for her no matter what.

How could Xu Jilin let her go because of what happened to Xu Fenghui today.

Su Shen was Xu Jilin's man, so it was not surprising that the medicine was mixed with some kind of hedinghong.

Cheng Jin forced a smile to talk to Su Shen, trying to arouse Su Shen's conscience and not give her such a poisonous medicine.

"Doctor Su, I don't feel any discomfort now, so do you not need to prescribe any medicine?"

Xu Jilin said with a smile: "Rong Guifei is talking nonsense again. This disease is not caused by the body. How can you not take medicine when you are sick?"

"Or is Rong Guifei afraid of something?"

Cheng Jin said: "How could that be? I am just a little afraid of bitterness."

I am afraid that the poison is too bitter.

Xu Jilin waved her hand and asked the maid to bring a plate of preserved fruits, with a loving gesture, "You."

"When the emperor was a child, he was also afraid of bitterness when taking medicine. Every time he hid in my arms and didn't want to take medicine. Now you are the same. You can't not take medicine because you are afraid of bitterness."

Cheng Jin nodded, "Yes, I remember."

When Cheng Jin held her breath again to watch Su Shen feel her pulse, Su Shen had already collected the things in an orderly manner.

Cheng Jin thought he was going to prescribe some medicine for her, but she saw that Su Shen took the things and walked to Cheng Jin to talk, without taking anything.

Cheng Jin was a little surprised.

"Don't you need to prescribe some medicine?"

Su Shen was stunned for a moment, then replied: "The Royal Concubine is in good health and doesn't need to take medicine."

Cheng Jin was surprised: "Really?"

Xu Jilin turned around and exchanged glances with Su Shen. Su Shen nodded at Cheng Jin and Xu Jilin saw it, so she knew that Su Shen knew about Cheng Jin's health.

She was relieved.

Su Shen said: "Of course it's true."

Xu Jilin smiled with her eyes curved, patted the back of Cheng Jin's hand, and teased: "It's good that you are fine, Royal Concubine Rong doesn't need to take medicine."

Cheng Jin smiled at Xu Jilin.

She was really happy that she didn't have to take medicine.

After Su Shen finished taking the pulse, he stood up and said goodbye.

"Since the Royal Concubine is fine, I will take my leave."

Cheng Jin nodded immediately, "Thank you, Imperial Physician Su, Cuizhu, send Imperial Physician Su back quickly."

Cuizhu had just walked to the door with Su Shen when she saw Chu Chengye walking towards the side hall with anxious steps.

Seeing Su Shen, he frowned and blocked Su Shen back.

Su Shen bowed to Chu Chengye.

Chu Chengye said, "Imperial Physician Su is here. Has he examined Royal Concubine Rong? Is Royal Concubine Rong in any serious condition? What medicine has been prescribed?"

Su Shen answered one by one.

After listening to Su Shen, Chu Chengye was a little unconvinced, so he moved his gaze to Cheng Jin.

Seeing Cheng Jin nod to him, he was relieved.

He immediately asked someone to send Su Shen back and sat in front of Cheng Jin's bed.

Seeing Chu Chengye coming, Xu Jilin knew that there was no point for her to stay here, so she found an excuse and went out with Su Shen. Cheng

Jin breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Xu Jilin walk out of the door, and her body relaxed.

She pushed Chu Chengye's body that was very close to her, "Your Majesty, I am not feeling well, please don't tell Your Majesty."

Chu Chengye glared at Cheng Jin unceremoniously, "Are you still pretending?"

Chu Chengye raised his hand and pinched Cheng Jin's face directly, trying to cover her chattering mouth.

Seeing that Chu Chengye was about to get angry again, Cheng Jin immediately restrained her expression and sat upright next to Chu Chengye.

[How did he see that? ]

[Could it be that my acting skills have regressed? 】

【That shouldn't be the case. My current skills are still good enough to act out a crying child. 】

"What did Doctor Su tell you just now?"

Cheng Jin honestly told Chu Chengye what Su Shen had said to her, "She said that I am in good health."

"That's right."

"He just told me the same thing, why are you still pretending in front of me?"

Cheng Jin was embarrassed for a moment, and immediately smiled at Chu Chengye.

[Hahaha, I've made a mistake.]

[But don't hit someone who smiles.]

[Don't be angry, listen to my excuses, I'll make them up for you.]

Chu Chengye: "..."

But Chu Chengye didn't expose Cheng Jin immediately, he just looked at Cheng Jin leisurely and raised his eyebrows at her.

Cheng Jin thought for a long time and didn't know how to explain a lie full of loopholes to Chu Chengye, so she just gave up.

"If I say that I was indeed feeling unwell before, but suddenly I am all better, my pain is gone, my waist is no longer sore, and even the imperial physician can't tell the difference, will Your Majesty believe it?"

Chu Chengye couldn't help laughing, and then he immediately straightened his face.

"I believe it."

[No, you believe this too? ]

[I think I can see why you are always backstabbed by the people around you. ]

Cheng Jin also smiled at him, "Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty."

[Being good at lying is the best dowry for a man. ]

[Just because of what you said, I will definitely not tell you the truth in the future. ]

Chu Chengye listened to Cheng Jin's inner voice, suddenly moved closer to Cheng Jin, narrowed his eyes slightly, curled the corners of his mouth, and let out a chuckle from the depths of his throat.

"I only said that I believe you, but I didn't say that I won't pursue your mistakes?"
