Chapter 175 What if I insist on being a bad guy?

Cheng Jin quickly shut up, swallowed what she was about to say, and smiled:

"How could that be? I just want to say that the emperor is so nice."

Cheng Jin put her hands together and squinted her eyes slightly.

"The emperor is wise and powerful."

Chu Chengye looked at Cheng Jin's appearance and couldn't help but chuckle from his throat. He shook his head and said, "Slippery tongue."

It was obviously a reproach, but Chu Chengye said it without a trace of dignity. The slight smile on his face also showed that Chu Chengye really enjoyed what he said to Cheng Jin.

Although he knew it was a lie against his will, Chu Chengye was happy to listen to Cheng Jin tell him.

"You smiled." Cheng Jin came to Chu Chengye, as if she had discovered something extraordinary. She pointed at the smile on Chu Chengye's face and took the opportunity to propose a condition, "Two, two people are enough for me, and don't you have yours?"

Chu Chengye quickly put away the smile on his face after hearing what Cheng Jin said. It was too late to argue at this time. Cheng Jin had already imitated Chu Chengye and waved to the two people on one side.

The two secret guards raised their heads and looked in the direction of Chu Chengye. When they saw Chu Chengye nodded slightly, they left.

Cheng Jin just thought that Chu Chengye's gesture was very cool, so he imitated it for fun. He didn't expect that the two secret guards left after he made the gesture. He was a little surprised and turned back excitedly to tell Chu Chengye, "They...I..."

[This is too pretentious. ]

[Can you let them all come back so I can play twice more? ]

Cheng Jin simply gestured a few times with his hands, and Chu Chengye understood what Cheng Jin meant. He walked to Cheng Jin's side, raised his hand and gently stroked Cheng Jin's hair. He whispered: "Yes, I know."

After discussing it, Chu Chengye asked the last two to leave.

Cheng Jin told Chu Chengye about sending Jiang mother and son out of the capital on the Lantern Festival tomorrow. Chu Chengye nodded and asked Cheng Jin as if he had realized what was going on.

"Does Pei Yu know?"

Perhaps because he felt that he looked too petty and not magnanimous enough, Chu Chengye was afraid that Cheng Jin would misunderstand and laugh at him. His voice was not loud, as if he was talking to himself.

Cheng Jin did not hear clearly. In order to hear, Cheng Jin moved closer to Chu Chengye.

"What?"

Chu Chengye looked at Cheng Jin in front of him. Fortunately, he had no choice but to give up. He closed his eyes, hardened his heart, and said everything he thought in his heart.

"I am asking if Pei Yu knew about sending Jiang's mother and son out of the palace? Or did you guys already discuss something and only told me all this in the end? Are you going to go to the Lantern Festival with Pei Yu tomorrow? You want my consent, right? This is different from the matter of the secret guards. I absolutely do not agree. This matter is absolutely not negotiable."

As if he felt that his attitude was a bit tough, Chu Chengye was afraid of really scaring Cheng Jin, so he slowed down his tone, "I don't mean to restrict your freedom. The lanterns of the Lantern Festival are beautiful. I know you want to go, and I won't stop you. I just want to say..."

Chu Chengye said a lot of things in one breath, but in fact, these were not what he wanted to say.

He just wanted to say, can you not go with Pei Yu, I can also accompany you.

Cheng Jin was confused by Chu Chengye's words, and she quickly made a stop gesture.

"Stop, do you want to ask if Pei Yu knows about this? Or do you want to ask if I want to be with Pei Yu tomorrow on the Lantern Festival?"

Chu Chengye's eyes were eager, he wanted to know what Cheng Jin meant.

Cheng Jin explained: "Pei Yu doesn't know about the matter of Jiang's mother and son."

Chu Chengye's eyes were bright, looking forward to Cheng Jin's next words.

Just tell him that everything Pei Yu said to him was false, and she didn't dislike herself that much.

Although Chu Chengye looked indifferent in front of Pei Yu, he also felt that it was not important. After all, it was only the Lantern Festival, so what if Cheng Jin was happy.

But when it was time to wait for Cheng Jin's answer, Chu Chengye realized that he cared a lot.

He cared a lot about Cheng Jin's opinion of him.

Watching Cheng Jin nodding her head up and down, Chu Chengye's heart sank to the bottom.

He sighed slightly and pretended to be joking, "What if I insist on being the bad guy? What if I don't let you go?"

"Then don't go. As long as we can successfully send Jiang and her son out of the city, nothing else is that important."

"Not that important?" Chu Chengye's eyes flashed with surprise.

Cheng Jin replied, "Since the emperor doesn't allow me to go, what else can I do? I can only obey your orders."

Cheng Jin made a pitiful look and pretended to salute Chu Chengye.

Chu Chengye looked at Cheng Jin's expression and guessed what Cheng Jin was thinking, but she still wanted to be with Pei Yu.

Chu Chengye turned his eyes away and snorted coldly, "If I don't let you go, I don't know how you will scold me in your heart."

Chu Chengye said, "I'm not that bad."

Does this mean you agree?

Cheng Jin looked up at Chu Chengye in disbelief, "Really? Can I go?"

Chu Chengye looked at Cheng Jin coldly, his tone was very unhappy, "Are you so happy?"

Cheng Jin nodded fiercely, "Yeah, yeah."

Chu Chengye said, "Let you and Pei Yu enjoy the lanterns together, but I don't have time this time, wait until next time..."

Before Chu Chengye finished speaking, Cheng Jin had already walked out the door.

Outrageous! It was really outrageous!

Chu Chengye looked at Cheng Jin's back as she happily left Jingyang Palace, and his chest felt like a big stone was blocking it.

"He has no conscience." Chu Chengye looked at Cheng Jin's back and said secretly.

That's right.

It must be a pleasure to be with Pei Yu.

Wei An, who was standing next to him, saw Chu Chengye's lonely figure, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Isn't the emperor free on the Lantern Festival?"

Chu Chengye had prepared for the court a few days ago, and it seemed that he had been waiting for the Lantern Festival.

In the past, Chu Chengye also had the opportunity to leave the palace to enjoy the lanterns on the Lantern Festival, but he never showed any interest in this matter.

This year is different.

In addition to appreciating lanterns, there is a custom of making lanterns on the Lantern Festival. Everyone takes their own lanterns to the streets and can exchange lanterns with people they like.

Thinking that Cheng Jin would definitely be interested in this kind of thing, Chu Chengye found some novel-looking lanterns early on and made them to imitate.

He is very skilled in wielding swords and guns, but he is not good at making these little gadgets. The bamboo sticks seemed to be deliberately against him. They would not drill into the gaps he left, but always left marks on his hands. The bamboo sticks were sharp, and many places had bloody marks.

After working hard day and night, it was fortunately completed before the Lantern Festival.

I wanted to give Cheng Jin a surprise, and I gave Cheng Jin a surprise on the Lantern Festival.

Before I could tell Cheng Jin in person, Pei Yu took the initiative to come to see him.
