Chapter 178: So
what if I take care of her for my whole life Cheng Jin was determined, and Jing'er had no choice but to agree.
Pei Yu already knew that Cheng Jin had received Chu Chengye's consent to leave the palace.
It was not
as Pei Yu expected. Chu Chengye would agree as he expected.
If everything remained the same, Chu Chengye would agree when Cheng Jin was willing to leave the palace.
Pei Yu knew what it felt like.
He had experienced this once before when Cheng Jin entered the palace. He liked her, so he didn't want to embarrass her or force her, and wanted her to get what she wanted for the rest of her life.
But Cheng Jin was not happy after entering the palace.
Pei Yu would not tolerate Cheng Jin staying in the palace any longer.
He wanted to be with Cheng Jin for the rest of his life and make up for the years he had missed before.
Pei Yu waited for Cheng Jin outside the palace gate on the Lantern Festival as agreed.
Cheng Jin had been looking forward to this day for a long time and came early. From a distance, she saw Pei Yu in front of a carriage. He was dressed in white, tall and graceful, with a calm face and no expression.
When looking at Cheng Jin, Pei Yu suddenly narrowed his eyes and strode towards Cheng Jin. He looked very happy, "Xiao Jin, you are here."
Cheng Jin nodded and walked to Pei Yu.
Today, they were going to send Jing'er and her son out of the palace, so Cheng Jin was followed by a group of people.
Pei Yu casually glanced at the people following Cheng Jin and paused slightly at Jing'er's position.
Cheng Jin patted Pei Yu's shoulder who was in a daze, "Let's send them out of the palace first."
Seeing Pei Yu, Jiang's mother and son bowed slightly, "Thank you for your help that day, you helped me and my son get out of trouble, and now we are reunited."
Pei Yu nodded slightly, "It's just a small effort, don't worry."
Cheng Jin was anxious about the scene of the Lantern Festival, so he came out early. It was just getting dark.
Cheng Jin and his party arrived at the city gate. Because Chu Chengye had secretly helped them, Jing'er and the others got out easily and no one found out.
Looking at Jing'er and the others' carriage going far away, thinking of Jing'er's experience since entering the palace, Cheng Jin couldn't help but sigh, "I hope they can live a stable life in the future."
Pei Yu approached Cheng Jin slightly, and his arms touched slightly, which gave Cheng Jin great peace of mind.
Cheng Jin raised her head and pointed at Pei Yu beside her, "But I still want to say that they can leave the palace, and they still have to thank you for your help."
Pei Yu looked into Cheng Jin's eyes and said lightly: "I said that I will not sit idly by when it comes to Xiao Jin's affairs."
Cheng Jin smiled and said: "I can take care of it now, but I can't take care of it for a lifetime."
"Why not?" Although Pei Yu's words were interrogative, they were particularly firm.
"What if I take care of your affairs for a lifetime?"
Cheng Jin looked away helplessly and said frankly: "You know why it's not possible."
Although Cheng Jin's words were not so clear, Pei Yu knew it well.
Because Cheng Jin is a noble concubine, Chu Chengye's honorable noble concubine.
There is a gap between them that is difficult to cross.
No matter who approaches whom, they will be doomed.
Cheng Jin is not that brave.
Although she usually looks like she doesn't care about anything, Cheng Jin knows it better than anyone else.
It is almost impossible for her and Pei Yu to be together.
Pei Yu likes the original owner so much, even if his feelings for Cheng Jin are firm now, one day, Pei Yu will know that she and the previous Cheng Jin are completely two different people.
She is not herself.
Pei Yu retorted, "How do you know it's impossible when you've never taken the first step?"
Cheng Jin raised her eyes slightly to look at Pei Yu, and Pei Yu explained to Cheng Jin seriously, "The emperor agreed to let you out today, which means you will have the opportunity to leave the palace in the future."
"Don't you want freedom the most, Xiao Jin? After leaving the palace, you will no longer be bound by the rules in the palace. Xiao Jin can go wherever she wants, and I will accompany you."
"When the time comes, Xiao Jin and I will go to a place where no one can find us, we will be away from everything, and we will be a pair of fairy lovers, what's wrong with that?"
Pei Yu gently put his arm around Cheng Jin's shoulders, and Cheng Jin did not push him away.
But she was not as happy as she imagined, she felt more uncomfortable.
But isn't everything now what she wants?
She had the chance to leave the palace and live a free life, away from Chu Chengye, the time bomb, and maybe she could live a long life. Pei Yu was the one she had always chosen to trust.
It seemed that everything was fine.
But she was inexplicably not as happy as she had imagined. She
always felt like there was a gap in her heart, and she felt very uncomfortable.
Cheng Jin shook her head, and did not respond to Pei Yu's words. She quietly avoided Pei Yu's embrace.
She turned around and walked back, looking back and waving at Pei Yu with a smile.
"The last person to go to the street will be treated to a candied haws, the biggest kind!"
The previous gloomy atmosphere disappeared instantly, and Pei Yu couldn't help but smile and followed Cheng Jin.
Pei Yu walked neither fast nor slow, just enough to follow behind Cheng Jin and let her win.
"I won." Cheng Jin waved excitedly.
Cheng Jin smiled and stopped in front of a candied haws and loquats stall, and picked the largest bunch of candied haws and loquats as she said before.
The vendor was a perceptive person, and immediately flattered her: "Miss, you may not know that this candied haws and loquats has the best effect on beauty and skin care. Why don't you take two more bunches and share them with the young man next to you, so that we can be sweet together."
Cheng Jin looked at the vendor in front of her with a polite smile.
[Do you think I'm a fool and easy to fool?]
The vendor blinked at Cheng Jin, as if to make himself more credible.
Cheng Jin seemed to really believe it and moved his hands back and forth among the remaining candied haws and loquats.
The vendor's smile became bigger as Cheng Jin's hands moved.
Pei Yu didn't know if Cheng Jin really wanted to eat it, and she was hesitating. When he was about to say something, he saw Cheng Jin suddenly stop eating and slip away.
"I don't want it. He wants sweetness. Let him pay."
Pei Yu looked at Cheng Jin's jogging back and couldn't help laughing. He gave the vendor some change and ran after Cheng Jin.
Cheng Jin got tired of running after a while. It wasn't the time for many lanterns to go out on the street, so Cheng Jin sat at a Yuanxiao stall and waited.
Pei Yu asked Cheng Jin if she wanted to eat it.
Cheng Jin nodded.
Pei Yu ordered a bowl of walnut filling directly.
He smiled at Cheng Jin and said, "You loved it the most before. You probably haven't eaten it for a long time."
Cheng Jin was a little overwhelmed and didn't know how to react.
She didn't eat walnuts since she was a child.
Cheng Jin was afraid of exposing something, but she had to eat the walnut-filled Yuanxiao.
Cheng Jin cautiously tried, "I don't want to eat walnuts today, can I change to something else?"
The boss next to her heard what Cheng Jin said and immediately said, "Sure, miss, we have many kinds of fillings here, all of which are delicious. What kind do you want to eat?"
Cheng Jin was about to speak but noticed Pei Yu's eyes.
