Chapter 125 You Deserve Everything You Have
Chu Chengye nodded, "What are they plotting?"
"Are they going to seize my throne and take back everything that belongs to him?"
Cheng Jin was surprised that Chu Chengye knew so much, but he still said it in a more tactful way.
"Almost."
Chu Chengye chuckled with some disdain, "My brother thinks he is acting well, but in fact his ambition is in his eyes."
"His eyes don't look like he wants nothing."
Chu Chengye had never seen his father since he was a child, let alone Chu Huaian. Only Xu Jilin had gone to greet him a few times. Before going to the vassal state, Chu Chengye didn't know that he had a biological brother.
He will always remember the look in Chu Huaian's eyes when he first saw him.
Contempt, disdain.
They were born of the same mother and looked a bit alike. It was for this reason that the late emperor wanted him to be a hostage instead of Chu Huaian.
But even though Chu Chengye suffered this humiliation for Chu Huaian, there was no sign of gratitude on Chu Huaian's face. He just felt that it was Chu Chengye's duty.
Xu Jilin told him that this genius would be his sooner or later, and everyone in the world should die for him, even his own brother. Besides
, how could a person who was raised outside the palace by his father, who didn't even have a name or a title, be on good terms with him?
He was just trying to win favor in front of his father by looking a bit like him.
Chu Chengye saw all of this. He knew that Chu Huaian had never considered him his brother, even though he had suffered humiliation and hardship for him for ten years, and even after he returned to Beijing, Chu Chengye never took him seriously.
But Chu Chengye also remembered how Chu Huaian respectfully called him "Your Majesty" after he ascended the throne.
But his eyes always revealed ambition.
Chu Chengye always knew that he only spared Chu Huaian's life for Xu Jilin's sake.
When he first ascended the throne, Chu Chengye had thought about getting rid of Chu Huaian, but he had just experienced a great battle with the previous emperor and could not withstand another war, so he pretended to keep Chu Huaian's life, agreed to Xu Jilin's request, and left himself a chance to ease the situation.
As long as he was on the throne, Chu Huaian would bow down to him.
Chu Chengye knew that Chu Huaian was capable, but he never thought that he was so powerful.
Even if he took back all the power in Chu Huaian's hands, in addition to Xu Jilin and Xu Fenghui, there were countless people rushing to help Chu Huaian.
If they really fought again, his chances of winning were not great.
Cheng Jin noticed that Chu Chengye's mood was not right. As a bystander, she could not understand Chu Chengye's feelings.
But as a reader of this book, she also knew Chu Chengye's experience and encounters very clearly.
From childhood to adulthood, Chu Chengye has never enjoyed fair treatment. Everything he has is obtained through his own hard work. The
Pan Kingdom has been lying in wait for ten years, and if it is not careful when rebelling, it will suffer inhuman treatment and die without a burial place.
Everything he has now is what he deserves.
Cheng Jin leaned on Chu Chengye's shoulder, leaning her ear close to Chu Chengye, she whispered: "What is his? Everything you have is what you deserve."
"The throne is yours, and the Fifth Prince's ambition is his own treason."
"What should belong to the Fifth Prince? It was the ten years in the vassal state. If it weren't for the emperor, he would have died in the vassal state long ago. His life was exchanged for the emperor. Not only did he not feel owed, but he had such thoughts."
Chu Chengye was stunned when he heard Cheng Jin's words, as if his heart, which had been hidden for so many years, suddenly saw the light of day.
Chu Chengye resisted the inexplicable discomfort in his heart and forced a smile, "Are you comforting me?"
Cheng Jin nodded honestly and shook her head.
"No, what I said is just what I think in my heart, it can't be considered as comfort. Besides, how can the emperor need a few words of comfort from me?"
"Yes." Chu Chengye murmured to himself.
Cheng Jin didn't hear it, she only knew that Chu Chengye was silent for a while.
Cheng Jin said: "The Fifth Prince has evil ambitions, the Emperor must be on guard."
Chu Huaian nodded, "I know, but now he has done everything perfectly, I can't find any fault with him even if I provoke him."
"Now I can't find any fault with the Fifth Prince, and we can't just sit there and wait for death, letting him make trouble."
"Just now I heard the Fifth Prince discussing with Mr. Hui in the dark, they are going to look for a man named Wu Ren next."
Chu Chengye pondered for a while, he sent people to monitor Chu Huaian, and there was no news that Chu Huaian had been in contact with a man named Wu Ren recently.
But since Cheng Jin said so, he must have really heard this from Qu Wanxin and Chu Huaian, this Wu Ren must be useful to Chu Huaian.
Chu Chengye nodded, "Then what do you want me to do?"
"Kill him? Stop him from working for the Fifth Prince?"
Cheng Jin said, "It is not necessary to kill him. If he is really a talent, it is not impossible for the emperor to use him. But I just heard from the Fifth Prince that it is not easy to meet Wu Ren."
Chu Chengye said, "He has no way, but it does not mean that I have no way. Don't worry."
Chu Chengye was silent for a while and then said, "Why are you suddenly willing to tell me about what happened today?"
Finally asked, Cheng Jin pulled the corner of her mouth, her mind spinning wildly.
She really didn't want to tell Chu Chengye anything before. She always wanted to stay out of it and survive until the end.
But now, their fates have long been tied together, and Cheng Jin can't hide even if she wants to.
And she had previously thought that the tyrant Chu Chengye was not so evil.
Although some things were still under investigation, Cheng Jin knew that Chu Chengye would not harm her now.
If Chu Chengye could take the throne, her fate might be rewritten.
Cheng Jin smiled and tried to fool him, saying, "Your Majesty, what are you talking about? When have I ever lied to Your Majesty? Every word I said was true and I would never dare to hide it."
Hearing Cheng Jin's sudden change in voice, knowing that Cheng Jin was unwilling to talk, Chu Chengye pursed his lips helplessly, "I hope you can remember what I said today."
Cheng Jin was afraid that Chu Chengye would ask more questions, so she stretched out her hands to hold Chu Chengye's neck and locked it tightly in her elbow.
Cheng Jin said: "Okay, Your Majesty, don't say anymore, I'm sleepy."
After that, without waiting for Chu Chengye to respond, she knocked her head on Chu Chengye's back and closed her eyes.
Chu Chengye listened to Cheng Jin slowly becoming silent, and gradually heard the sound of steady breathing.
