Chapter 165: It's not a bad thing to be a desperate couple with Xiao Jin
Cheng Jin really has no other options, and has tried all the options.
She looked at Pei Yu for help.
Why is Pei Yu not in a hurry?
The crime they charged was that the concubine had an affair with a man outside the family, which was punishable by death. Why was Pei Yu so calm all the time? Pei
Yu walked quietly beside Cheng Jin. When Cheng Jin wanted to make a fuss, Pei Yu stood beside Cheng Jin, without saying a word, and his eyes were always fixed on Cheng Jin.
Sometimes Cheng Jin winked at Pei Yu, and Pei Yu pretended to agree.
It was as fake as it could be.
Cheng Jin was really tired, and it seemed that she was the only one working hard.
She quietly distanced herself from Juxiang and Qu Wanxin, and whispered to Pei Yu.
"Pei Yu, why don't you think of a solution? We can't go to Shou'an Palace."
Cheng Jin spoke in a low voice, his voice was squeezed out from between his teeth, for fear that the two people in front of him would find out something, and he didn't even turn his head.
Pei Yu looked at Cheng Jin's expression and thought of the time when Cheng Jin pestered him to accompany her to the teacher's class.
Cheng Jin was a noisy person and couldn't sit still. After a while, he wanted to talk to Pei Yu, but the teacher was old-fashioned. Cheng Jin was afraid of being discovered and punished to copy books, so he took advantage of the sound of reading to talk to Pei Yu.
If the teacher turned around, Cheng Jin would definitely look hypocritical again.
Pei Yu just thought of this, and happened to meet Qu Wanxin who seemed to have heard something, so she turned around to look, and Cheng Jin immediately tightened the expression on her face.
It was almost exactly the same as before.
Pei Yu couldn't help but chuckled at this time.
Cheng Jin glanced at Pei Yu with a puzzled look, and then tried to turn away.
"Why are you still laughing at this time?"
"The Queen Mother will definitely punish both of us with adultery, and it's punishable by death!"
Cheng Jin's expression was exaggerated, as if she wanted Pei Yu to take it seriously.
Pei Yu didn't care at all, and still smiled and said, "It's not a bad thing to be a desperate couple with Xiao Jin."
Cheng Jin glared at Pei Yu with a warning in her eyes, and kept an eye on Qu Wanxin and Juxiang's movements, fearing that they would hear anything.
"What are you talking about?"
Cheng Jin felt wronged in her heart:
[If it was really an affair, it would be fine, I can't control my loneliness, I'm a pervert, and dirty. 】
【The problem is that I haven't even touched Pei Yu's hand, so is it appropriate for me to use this big black pot? 】
Cheng Jin said, subconsciously glancing at Pei Yu's fair and slender fingers.
Pei Yu seemed to have sensed Cheng Jin's intention, and directly stretched out his hand in Cheng Jin's direction, and said as if no one was around: "Will it be less nervous if you hold it? Like before."
Cheng Jin: "?!!"
【Do you want to hear what you are saying! 】
【You want to hold hands when someone comes to catch you cheating? 】
Cheng Jin shook her head fiercely, with a look of rejection, and did not forget to observe Qu Wanxin's movements.
Why is Pei Yu so abnormal today?
Is he really going to die?
No matter how unwilling Cheng Jin was, they had arrived at Shou'an Palace.
When Cheng Jin and others arrived at Shou'an Palace, someone was waiting outside the gate to lead Cheng Jin in.
The scenery at night was pitch black, and everything around was unclear. Cheng Jin only felt that everything in Shou'an Palace was full of dangers, and there might be traps everywhere.
When Cheng Jin went in, she saw Xu Jilin sitting on the couch with her head propped up. She looked really uncomfortable, with her eyes closed and her brows slightly wrinkled. A palace maid stood beside her and rubbed Xu Jilin's temples.
When Juxiang brought people in, she said, "The Empress Dowager, Concubine Rong, and Lady Hui are here."
Xu Jilin did not open her eyes after hearing this, but just nodded slightly in the sitting position, without raising her head or closing her eyes, as if everything was not that important.
Cheng Jin didn't know what Xu Jilin was going to do, so she didn't dare to speak rashly.
Xu Jilin didn't say anything else, as if Juxiang's words that Xu Jilin asked them to come were false.
The candles in the main hall lit up the room, and the cold wind blew into the room through the door. The candle flames flickered back and forth, stretching the shadows of everyone in the room.
The whole room was so quiet that no sound could be heard, and it was so quiet that it was like a big hand grabbing a person's heart.
Especially those who are guilty of being a thief.
Cheng Jin also noticed that something was wrong. Whether Xu Jilin was really uncomfortable or deliberately created this oppressive environment for Cheng Jin to see, it was all to create psychological pressure on Cheng Jin.
This is because Cheng Jin will be exposed due to nervousness.
Then Xu Jilin won't have to work so hard to deal with Cheng Jin.
But Cheng Jin is also patient.
Before arriving at Shou'an Palace, she was thinking about how to escape. After arriving at Shou'an Palace, Cheng Jin was thinking about how to deal with the opponent's moves.
When she was about to die, she was actually calm.
During this time, Xu Jilin raised her eyes slightly and scanned everyone in the room. The
people in the room had different expressions.
But she didn't see the fear that Xu Jilin wanted to see the most on Cheng Jin's face.
Xu Jilin couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. It seemed that she still had to go through the motions.
Xu Jilin sighed, opened her eyes, and waved her hand to signal the palace maids beside her not to rub anymore.
Xu Jilin said, "Why are you here so late?"
Xu Jilin's eyes stayed on Pei Yu for a moment longer, "Who is..."
How could Xu Jilin not know Pei Yu? After Pei Yu returned to Beijing, Chu Chengye's poison was cured and someone was assigned to handle government affairs. How could Xu Jilin not remember him?
It was just to pass on the message to Qu Wanxin.
Qu Wanxin instantly understood what Xu Jilin meant and explained, "This is Lord Pei Yu. I'm sure the Empress Dowager has heard of him."
Xu Jilin nodded thoughtfully, "Lord Pei? Why is he in the harem in the middle of the night?"
Qu Wanxin rushed in front of Pei Yu and answered: "I don't know either. I only know that when I saw Lord Pei, I saw Lord Pei and Cheng Jin in a secret place. The two of them were standing side by side, very close to each other. I don't know what they were doing."
Cheng Jin: "..."
[You can just say that we are having an affair! 】
Qu Wanxin continued to exaggerate, "When Concubine Rong and Lord Pei found me, they separated immediately. When I asked Concubine Rong, she explained that Lord Pei stayed in the palace late at night to treat the emperor, and the two of them were not doing anything."
"I believe Concubine Rong, but there are too many suspicious things."
"The emperor does not live in the harem, so how could Lord Pei meet Concubine Rong in the harem? There must be something hidden and shameful." "
I really couldn't make up my mind, so I thought of notifying the Empress Dowager."
Xu Jilin's face showed some expression at this time.
Xu Jilin sat up straight, staring at Cheng Jin with a pair of eyes.
Xu Jilin said word by word: "Noble Concubine Rong, is what Noble Lady Hui said true?"
"You really did it..."
Cheng Jin bowed respectfully to Xu Jilin, and complained about the two people in his heart.
