Chapter 171 Even if they have something, they can't show it to the public

Pei Yu followed Cheng Jin and bowed.

Cheng Jin waited for a while, but Chu Chengye didn't turn around. She really thought that Chu Chengye was tired, so she quietly left Jingyang Palace.

Chu Chengye was confused at the moment and didn't notice Cheng Jin leaving at all. Cheng

Jin didn't choose him because the palace was full of dangers. She was willing to stay in the palace because Chu Chengye could help Cheng Jin's father and brother who worked in the court.

Now the situation in the court is gradually stabilizing, and Chu Huaian has not made any moves.

Chu Chengye is looking for a suitable opportunity, either to kill him or to send him to a remote place for life.

As long as Xu Fenghui's Xu Family Army can be restrained, he can eliminate all Chu Huaian's party members in the court, and then the palace will be safer and more stable.

By that time, will Cheng Jin not want to leave so much ?

Will she be willing to stay?

Chu Chengye has thought about it. If his methods are tougher, Cheng Jin will definitely not have the slightest idea of ​​leaving.

But Chu Chengye knows Cheng Jin. If it really comes to that, Cheng Jin will definitely not be happy even in the palace, by his side.

Chu Chengye can't bear to see Cheng Jin frowning every day, as if a bright person like Cheng Jin should smile and be free.

So Chu Chengye didn't plan to force her.

As long as Cheng Jin is a little attached to him, that's enough.

Chu Chengye thought so, as long as Cheng Jin explained to him one more sentence, Chu Chengye would not care about everything before.

So what if she really avoided him and reminisced with Pei Yu?

Cheng Jin was still in the palace, and she was still his Rong Guifei. Even if they really had any feelings, they could not let it be seen in public.

He still had a chance.

Chu Chengye pretended to be indifferent and said, "Then I want to hear what you have done these days?"

Chu Chengye waited for a long time, but couldn't hear Cheng Jin say anything.

He turned around with some doubts, but found that there was no one in the room at this moment. Only Wei An, who appeared beside him at some point, replied to Chu Chengye, "Your Majesty, the Royal Concubine and Lord Pei have left. They said that Your Majesty was tired. Since Your Majesty is tired, you should rest early."

"Gone?" Chu Chengye couldn't believe it.

"Didn't I tell them to leave?"

Wei An was silent for a long while, then hesitantly replied, "The Emperor had told the Concubine before that they didn't need to inform each other before coming or going, saying that he wanted to give her enough freedom, so she left."

Chu Chengye then remembered that when Cheng Jin came to his palace before, he always complained in his heart that he didn't know when he could leave, and he felt so frustrated. So Chu Chengye let Cheng Jin come and go without waiting for his consent.

Chu Chengye thought he was giving Cheng Jin freedom, but how could he have expected that he was giving Cheng Jin and Pei Yu freedom.

Chu Chengye was so angry that he didn't know where to vent, so he could only sit on the chair and look at the place where Cheng Jin and Pei Yu left.

Outside the house, snow had begun to fall at some point, and the fluttering snowflakes were flying around in the night wind.

The snow seemed to be getting heavier, and the footprints of Cheng Jin and Pei Yu when they left were almost covered.

They were walking side by side.

It was not like when she walked with Cheng Jin before, she intentionally kept a distance between them and followed behind her.

After Cheng Jin and Pei Yu left, they walked together.

This time, they came out of Chu Chengye's palace openly, so they were not afraid of anything.

Cheng Jin was a little curious about why Pei Yu had that attitude in Shou'an Palace before.

"The situation was so dangerous, how come you weren't afraid at all? You even wanted to give the Queen Mother a headache?"

Pei Yu slightly tilted his eyes at Cheng Jin, "Didn't I tell Xiao Jin before? It's not bad to be a desperate couple with Xiao Jin."

Cheng Jin twisted her hands left and right, and said helplessly: "Pei Yu, you are making these cold jokes at this time."

Cheng Jin pretended to pull her clothes, "It's snowing, it's even colder."

Cheng Jin and Pei Yu didn't hold umbrellas, letting the snow stick to any part of their bodies.

The cold wind in the middle of the night made people feel bone-chilling, and Cheng Jin couldn't help but quicken her pace.

Pei Yu followed him at a fast pace and whispered, "What I said to you is never a joke."

Cheng Jin was concentrating on keeping herself warm and didn't hear what Pei Yu said. Cheng Jin subconsciously turned around and looked over.

"What?"

Pei Yu shook his head and changed the subject, "I said that I diagnosed the Queen Mother to delay time."

Cheng Jin was interested now, "I thought you were really not nervous."

"That's right, who is not afraid of death?" Cheng Jin smiled and replied, "But when I saw you before, you were as cold as a god eating dew."

Pei Yu was stunned when he heard Cheng Jin's words and stood still.

Cheng Jin took two steps before she realized Pei Yu hadn't followed her, so she asked, "What's wrong?"

Pei Yu looked up at Cheng Jin, "When did you realize that?"

Cheng Jin was stunned for a moment, then quickly responded, "It's just outside the city. The emperor and I went to invite you to the capital."

"I remember you were dressed in white, sitting under a peach tree and playing the zither. The scene was as beautiful as a fairy descending to the earth."

Cheng Jin smiled and gave Pei Yu a thumbs up. Pei

Yu couldn't help but laugh, and followed Cheng Jin, "I smelled some medicinal herbs in Shou'an Palace when I was examining the empress dowager. Those are definitely not for gout. The empress dowager looked so unbearable, how could she not want her headache to get better? Someone must have done it on purpose."

"And I didn't expect that it would induce a headache."

Cheng Jin clapped her hands, as if she understood something, "You mean, Doctor Su, Su Shen?"

Pei Yu nodded.

Su Shen had been treating the Queen Mother in the palace for many years. He was a skilled doctor, so how could he make a mistake?

So it was not difficult to guess that Su Shen did it on purpose.

He deliberately made Xu Jilin suffer from headaches.

However, the reason was indeed hard to figure out.

Xu Jilin and Su Shenliu were childhood sweethearts, and Su Shenliu had done so many things for Xu Jilin, how could he have other thoughts?

Cheng Jin couldn't figure it out, but she also understood a little.

Xu Jilin thought she was in control of the palace, but she fell into the hands of the person she trusted the most.

I guess Xu Jilin wants to know the truth more than anyone else now.

Pei Yu nodded, "I guess only Doctor Su knows the reason."

Cheng Jin didn't follow Pei Yu for too long. When Cheng Jin was about to turn around and walk towards Chunhe Palace, Pei Yu stopped Cheng Jin.

"Do you want to go to the Lantern Festival?"

Cheng Jin's eyes flashed, and she nodded vigorously, "Of course I want to go!"

But after thinking clearly about her situation, Cheng Jin faced the reality.

"How can I leave the palace at will now?" Thinking of something, Cheng Jin looked at Pei Yu again, "Do you have a solution?"

Pei Yu neither nodded nor shook his head, "The emperor can't just refuse to agree to your request."

"If it were me, I would accompany you wherever you want to go."
