Chapter 163 It's just a life, if it's gone, it's gone

With such an easy opportunity, why would she gamble on a plan that might fail?

Qu Wanxin had great confidence in Chu Huaian before.

It was clearly written in the official history that Chu Huaian ascended the throne, and he would rebel and ascend the throne in three years.

Qu Wanxin thought that everything would go in the direction that history should go, instead of being like this now.

Now Chu Huaian is suppressed by Chu Chengye everywhere, and there is no possibility of him coming out.

But the position of empress is recorded in history as Qu Wanxin's, so it must be Qu Wanxin's.

Who the emperor is is no longer important to Qu Wanxin, what she wants now is to ascend to the throne of the empress of Southern Qi.

She really wanted to help Chu Huaian, but Chu Huaian was so obsessed with her that he had lost his original intention to compete for her favor. He thought that the two of them might as well live in seclusion and be free.

But this was not what Qu Wanxin thought.

She began to accept her identity as a time traveler because she would become the queen. She became the most noble person in the world and the most favored person in the harem, which was a favor recorded in history.

Now everything Chu Huaian did was telling her that everything was in vain.

Since Chu Huaian couldn't help her, she would fight for it herself.

But Yun Huan repeatedly stood on Chu Huaian's side and advised her not to focus on Chu Chengye, and told Chu Huaian everything Qu Wanxin had done in detail.

Chu Huaian now doubted what he had said to Qu Wanxin before, and also doubted Qu Wanxin's feelings for him.

Yunhuan cut off her retreat.

Qu Wanxin could not tolerate such a person around her.

She began to advocate freedom and believe in equality for all, and she thought she would always think so. But after being in the harem for a long time, Qu Wanxin really understood, it was just as Xu Jilin said.

What fairness can there be in the harem?

There is only survival of the fittest, and only those who are capable and ruthless can stay in the harem longer.

And in the struggle, some people must be sacrificed.

Yunhuan is one of them.

If she dies, there will be no one watching her.

She can succeed.

Yunhuan died, and it was Qu Wanxin who did it herself.

She couldn't bear it, but she really had no choice. Everything that happened in this era was contrary to the education that Qu Wanxin had received before. But to get what she wanted, she had to give up everything, even human life.

Qu Wanxin turned a deaf ear to Cheng Jin's hints, just as Cheng Jin said.

If she died, she died. She could get rid of it with any excuse. She didn't need to be afraid of anything.

She was surprised, but more importantly, how did Cheng Jin know so clearly.

Cheng Jin met Qu Wanxin's eyes and saw the doubts in Qu Wanxin's heart.

How did she know?

Qu Wanxin and Xu Jilin asked someone to monitor her all the time, so Qu Wanxin and Xu Jilin also had their own people outside the palace.

Besides, there is no secret hidden in this palace. Even if there is, it can be bought with some money.

Cheng Jin said without disguising, "I'm not very good at keeping secrets, but in exchange, I can do it."

Qu Wanxin certainly knew what Cheng Jin was talking about.

But this was obviously not an equal exchange.

The crime of her killing a palace maid was different from the crime of Cheng Jin having an affair with someone else.

Qu Wanxin was not a fool, she saw it clearly.

Even if Chu Chengye doted on Concubine Rong, Qu Wanxin didn't believe that Chu Chengye could tolerate Cheng Jin cheating on him.

Qu Wanxin was calculating in her heart how badly she could beat Cheng Jin this time.

If Chu Chengye got angry, Cheng Jin and Pei Yu would have no choice but to die. Then they could be a pair of miserable couples in the underworld, which would be considered their own merit. As for

the fact that she killed Yunhuan, she had a hundred excuses. Anyway, Yunhuan was already dead and there was no evidence.

But Cheng Jin is different. The fact that Pei Yu and his mistress entered the harem is a fact that cannot be denied no matter how Cheng Jin tries to argue.

Qu Wanxin said, "Although I have good intentions, the leverage of Concubine Rong is not enough to move me."

"It's just a life. If it's gone, it's gone. What's the big deal?"

Qu Wanxin smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Concubine Rong, I can't help you."

Although Cheng Jin knew that this plan to exchange secrets might not work, she really didn't expect Qu Wanxin to refuse so quickly.

They are all people who have accepted modern ideas. Even if they have been here for a long time, they will not be as contemptuous of human life as Qu Wanxin.

Cheng Jin thought that Qu Wanxin should be more hesitant and afraid, but now it seems that she was overthinking.

Cheng Jin thought about it and thought of other ways.

Since Qu Wanxin can find many excuses for Yunhuan's death, she can also find excuses for the current situation.

Cheng Jin said: "In this case, there is no need for me and you to continue talking."

"There is no need to talk too much."

"It's already late, Huigui must be tired, and it's time for him to go back and rest. Pei Yu has worked hard to diagnose the emperor's pulse. I'm going to see him off and it's time for me to go back."

Cheng Jin's sudden excuse made Qu Wanxin feel a little ridiculous.

Did Cheng Jin really think she was a fool?

She knew Pei Yu knew medical skills, but she said that she was diagnosing the emperor's pulse so late. Did Cheng Jin really think that the emperor's favor for her was unlimited?

Qu Wanxin smiled and said, "So there is a reason why Concubine Rong and Lord Pei met late at night?"

"Since Lord Pei knows medicine, why don't you come with me to Shou'an Palace to see the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager has been suffering from headaches for a long time and has no solution. Lord Pei may have a solution." Pei

Yu said, "The Empress Dowager has her own imperial physician to serve her, so I don't think she will need me."

Qu Wanxin said, "Lord Pei, don't be humble. It's the Empress Dowager's decision whether to use me or not. Let's meet."

"If Lord Pei doesn't want to cause trouble, the Queen Mother will surely send someone to look for me when she sees that I haven't been there for so long. Knowing that I'm stuck here, I'll explain the whole story to the Queen Mother, and I'm sure the Queen Mother will understand."

Of course she will understand , Cheng

Jin thought to herself.

If Xu Jilin really knew about it, then black can be said to be white. What if Xu Jilin and Qu Wanxin conspired to punish me in the harem?

Then Pei Yu would be implicated.

No, absolutely not.

Qu Wanxin can shake people, so she can't fall behind.

But Cheng Jin couldn't get away now. She wanted to go directly past Qu Wanxin, but was blocked by the maid beside her. No matter how Cheng Jin threatened or tempted her, the maid was not moved at all.

Pei Yu called Cheng Jin softly, "Empress."

Cheng Jin looked in Pei Yu's direction.

Pei Yu didn't have any unnecessary expressions on his face, only when he looked at Cheng Jin, his face was soft.

Pei Yu said softly, "Don't be anxious."

Cheng Jin didn't understand how Pei Yu could remain calm when the situation was collapsing. She couldn't do that. Even if she wasn't anxious, she was just pretending.
