Chapter 144 Trust me, and reach the pinnacle of life

Cheng Jin smiled awkwardly. She had only been out of the palace a few times, but her reputation had spread far and wide.

Chu Chengye said, "Didn't you tell me to come to my place first after entering the palace? Why did you come here?"

Chu Zhurui then shook his hair and said embarrassedly, "I haven't been to the capital for a long time. Didn't I forget how to get to the palace?"

Chu Chengye: "..."

Cheng Jin: "..."

He really forgot.

"Where are the people I sent to pick you up?"

Chu Zhurui said, "They chattered all the way, and I got annoyed and shook them off."

[Good boy, you have a bad temper! ]

Chu Chengye sighed and didn't say anything. He just let Chu Zhurui follow him to Jingyang Palace.

Cheng Jin originally thought that the two of them still had things to do, so she didn't think of disturbing the two brothers' conversation. She turned around and was about to take Cuizhu back to Chunhe Palace.

Chu Chengye stopped Cheng Jin: "Where are you going?"

Cheng Jin told the truth.

"Since the Eleventh Prince has important matters to discuss with the Emperor, I will go back first."

Chu Chengye said: "You go too, you can also give me advice on this matter."

Chu Zhurui walked in front of Cheng Jin, looked around, and said puzzledly: "It's just a good-looking face, brother, I didn't expect you to look at the face."

Cheng Jin: "..."

After hearing what Chu Zhurui said, Cheng Jin didn't know whether to laugh or get angry.

How could a good person have a mouth?

Cheng Jin pulled up the corner of her mouth and smiled, raised her hand and touched Chu Zhurui's head, "Thank you."

Chu Zhurui waved his hand to hit it off again.

Chu Chengye spoke up to stop the two people from fighting, "Okay, let's go to Jingyang Palace first."

Along the way, Cheng Jin noticed that Chu Zhurui looked at her many times, as if he saw through what extraordinary qualities Cheng Jin had.

Cheng Jin smiled in her heart.

[Want to see through what I am capable of? ]

[Then you have misjudged me, I am useless. ]

But Cheng Jin was not surprised why Chu Chengye let Chu Zhurui enter the palace.

If it was according to what was said in the book, Chu Zhurui was indeed in the same camp as them.

Although Chu Zhurui was young, he was made a prince at a young age because his mother, Concubine Jing, was favored by the emperor. He was going to be sent to Ningzhou after he came of age. Later, Concubine Jing was framed, and the

late emperor disliked Chu Zhurui. After Concubine Jing was killed, Chu Zhurui was sent to Ningzhou to be a prince. He was not allowed to be summoned or come to the capital, hoping to be out of sight and out of mind. Ningzhou at that time was not as prosperous as it is now. It could not trade and was on the edge of Southern Qi. It had to be on guard against pirates on the sea at all times. In fact, it was also considered exile.

Chu Zhurui seemed to be a good prince, but he never gave up on revenge for his mother. However, he was young and he might not be able to succeed in his lifetime. Chu Chengye happened to rebel, so he joined his camp without hesitation. After

the death of the previous emperor, Chu Zhurui had been guarding Ningzhou.

This time, Chu Chengye wanted him to go to Beijing, in addition to the New Year, he probably wanted to ask if Chu Zhurui had a suitable candidate for the position of Ningzhou Maritime Customs.

Cheng Jin sat next to them and listened to the two people talking.

"To be honest, my brother, I do have a candidate."

Chu Chengye looked up at Chu Zhurui.

Chu Zhurui put away his previous mischief and said seriously, "I have a man named Song Geng under my command. He was also an official in the court when the previous emperor was in power. However, he was later demoted to Ningzhou and became a minor official in Ningzhou. By chance, he met me and worked for me."

"I know Song Geng inside out. His family has been clean for generations. He is upright and honest, and is the least likely to be corrupted by the old family guys in the court."

After listening, Chu Chengye subconsciously glanced at Cheng Jin, as if to ask about Cheng Jin's intentions.

Although Cheng Jin did not have a big impression of Song Geng, she seemed to have the impression that after Chu Huaian ascended the throne, he also opened a trading port and replaced all the people in the Ningzhou area with his own people.

Chu Zhurui fought desperately when Chu Huaian rebelled, but he was no match for Chu Huaian's army. Ningzhou could not be saved and he died in Ningzhou. It seems that Song Geng died with him.

That means there is nothing wrong with Song Geng.

After thinking about it, Cheng Jin couldn't help but feel lucky. Fortunately, his memory was really good. He could not find the original book with more than one million words.

Could it be that God gave him a golden finger?

Cheng Jin nodded at Chu Chengye.

Chu Chengye said, "Then you write a letter to him on my behalf and ask him to come to Beijing. I will give him the post of Ningzhou Maritime Customs."

Chu Zhurui saw this little move of Chu Chengye. Chu Zhurui looked at Cheng Jin in front of him with a little scrutiny, and then turned to look at Chu Chengye.

"Does my brother trust her so much?"

Cheng Jin put her hands on her hips in her heart.

Humph, who am I? I am a noble reader who has read all the books. I know everything.

[Trust me and reach the pinnacle of life.]

Chu Chengye held up the teacup with a smile on his face, "Rong Guifei can't be wrong."

"I feel extra relieved when I listen to her."

Chu Zhurui: "?!!"

Chu Zhurui was shocked. These words actually came out of Chu Chengye's mouth.

How could this be the Chu Chengye who killed people everywhere? He was clearly a henpecked husband.

Chu Zhurui asked, "What if Rong Guifei shook her head today, you don't need Song Geng anymore?"

Chu Chengye nodded without any hesitation.

Chu Zhurui couldn't believe that his brother whom he always admired had become like this. He stood up angrily and rushed to the "culprit".

"What kind of drug did you give my brother?"

Cheng Jin looked at Chu Zhurui and shook his head with some pride.

"Can't I, who is well-educated and knows countless people, recognize whether Song Geng is a useful person just by a name?"

Chu Zhurui had an expression of "disbelief".

Well.

She didn't believe what she said either.

Cheng Jin said nonsense: "Actually, I accidentally opened my third eye, and now I am comparable to a half-immortal, okay." She

was just trying to fool Chu Zhurui. Cheng Jin didn't think about what she said at all. She originally thought that Chu Zhurui would just roll his eyes at her, but Chu Zhurui changed the resentment in his eyes and turned it into admiration.

"Really? Did you really open your third eye?"

"How did you open it?"

"Do you know everything?"

Cheng Jin: "..."

How can you be so easy to fool?

However, seeing someone admiring her so much, Cheng Jin immediately put on airs and waved her hand to let Chu Zhurui come over, "Of course."

"I only need to ask you one question to come up with several answers."

Chu Zhurui's eyes flashed with light, and he did not doubt Cheng Jin's words at all. Instead, he thought of the time when Cheng Jin recognized the fortune teller as a liar outside the palace at a glance, and felt that Cheng Jin's words were more credible.

Cheng Jin asked: "Your last name is Chu, right?"

Although he didn't know why Cheng Jin asked such an obvious question, Chu Zhurui still nodded.

"Yes."

Cheng Jin pretended to close her eyes and pinched her fingertips, then raised her hand and pointed in the direction of Chu Chengye.

"So he is your royal brother, and I can now infer that your royal brother also has the last name Chu."

Chu Zhurui: "..."

Do you really think he is a fool?
