Chapter 187 Chu Chengye doesn't know everything I think, does he?

Cheng Jin was originally looking into the distance, but soon she noticed the very different look coming from her side.

She tilted her head to see what Chu Chengye was looking at.

Noticing that Cheng Jin turned her head, Chu Chengye immediately turned around again, pretending that nothing had happened. He tightened and loosened the paperweight in his hand, and touched the pens hanging in a row in front of him.

Cheng Jin couldn't help but said, "Your Majesty, do you know that people always pretend to be busy when they feel guilty?"

[Your acting skills are really bad. ]

Chu Chengye was seen through by Cheng Jin at a glance, so he just gave up. He slightly approached Cheng Jin and whispered, "What do I have to feel guilty about?"

Cheng Jin nodded and said, "Yes, look at me, what do I have to feel guilty about."

[You don't need to feel inferior if you fall in love with me. 】

After Chu Chengye heard what Cheng Jin was thinking, he immediately widened his eyes and looked at Cheng Jin in surprise. He paused and suppressed the deepest throbbing in his heart, pretending to be indifferent.

"Do you know what you are talking about? When did I love..."

Chu Chengye's words became less and less confident, and his voice became pitifully small.

Now it was Cheng Jin who was confused.

What?

What about love or not?

She didn't say it!

Cheng Jin thought about what she had just thought in her heart, and her confusion instantly turned into shock.

[Could it be that Chu Chengye knows everything I think? 】

Chu Chengye noticed Cheng Jin's shock and quickly said something to make up for it.

"Alas, I admit that I looked at you, so what? You are my concubine, I can look at you if I want."

Chu Chengye did not dare to look at Cheng Jin when he spoke. After all, he could hear Cheng Jin's thoughts from the first time he saw her.

Cheng Jin said that Chu Chengye's acting skills were fake.

However, combined with the previous situation, Cheng Jin didn't know whether Chu Chengye deliberately looked away because he was ashamed of being discovered or because he really knew her thoughts.

Cheng Jin stared at Chu Chengye for a few more times, and immediately stood up. She had more important things to do now.

Cheng Jin raised her feet and walked out the door, walking very fast, as if she was stepping on a hot wheel.

Chu Chengye didn't have time to call Cheng Jin.

"You just got here, why are you in such a hurry?"

Cheng Jin didn't even stop to reply to Chu Chengye. She said "something happened" and disappeared from Chu Chengye's sight.

When Cheng Jin arrived at Chunhe Palace, she was still breathing heavily. Cuizhu and Ziying immediately came to greet Cheng Jin when they saw her coming back.

"Why did the queen come back in such a short time? Didn't the emperor invite the queen to have lunch?"

Cheng Jin just shook her head.

Cuizhu understood what Cheng Jin meant. She nodded and went to the small kitchen. "I thought the queen would not come back for lunch, so I didn't prepare it. I will order the small kitchen to prepare a few more dishes that the queen likes."

Seeing Cuizhu was about to leave, Cheng Jin immediately took Cuizhu with one hand and Ziying with the other hand and pulled the two into the house.

After entering the house, Cheng Jin let go of her hand, suddenly pointed at herself and asked, "Cuizhu, guess what I'm thinking about?"

Cuizhu didn't understand and asked doubtfully, "What's wrong with the Queen? Why do you suddenly ask this?"

Cheng Jin interrupted Cuizhu, obviously anxious, "Tell me quickly, what am I thinking about?"

Although Cuizhu didn't know why, she still answered honestly, "The Queen must be very tired now."

Cuizhu looked at the sun rising high outside the door again, smiled and said, "And the Queen must be very hungry now."

Cheng Jin frowned and shook her head to herself.

"No, no."

Cuizhu asked, "What's wrong?"

Cheng Jin did not explain, but asked Ziying, "Ziying, what am I thinking about now?"

Ziying thought very seriously before saying, "The Queen must be confused?"

Cheng Jin nodded vigorously, and her thoughts suddenly came to light, "Yes, I am confused."

But suddenly, Ziying shook her head.

"I racked my brains and still don't know what the Queen is confused about."

Cuizhu continued Ziying's words, "Yes, Queen, we are not immortals, how can we know what the Queen is thinking?"

Cheng Jin shook her head and did not explain.

Cuizhu smiled and continued, "But the Queen's thoughts are easy to guess."

"Easy to guess?" Cheng Jin raised her head and met Cuizhu's eyes.

Cuizhu said, "Yes, yes, the queen can't hide things. When she is sad, her eyebrows are wrinkled so much that they can kill a mosquito. When she is happy, her lips can't close. When she is tired, she even breathes quietly."

Cheng Jin: "..."

Official complaints are the most deadly.

Cheng Jin smiled and tried to fool her, but Cuizhu continued, "And when the queen sees gold and silver, her eyes shine."

"Yesterday, when the queen came back from outside the palace, her eyes were also shining."

Cheng Jin couldn't bear to listen to her stupid things. She made a gesture to interrupt Cuizhu, "Are you okay?"

Cuizhu said, "No, what's wrong?"

Cheng Jin covered her chest and fell on the chair behind her, pretending to be injured.

"I'm okay, you stabbed me in the heart, it hurts."

Cheng Jin deliberately acted very exaggerated, which made Cuizhu and Ziying laugh.

After the commotion, Cheng Jin wondered if she really couldn't keep the truth to herself.

After thinking about it for a long time, she came to a positive answer.

Before she crossed into the book, her friends teased her as "a dog's stomach couldn't hold half an ounce of sesame oil", so it was normal for others to see through her.

Cheng Jin comforted herself in this way.

If Chu Chengye could really hear her inner voice, then how could she become the one who tolerates everything now when she had previously cursed Chu Chengye in her heart? According to Chu Chengye's previous temper, it would have been good enough if he hadn't exposed her skin to the skin of three layers?

It's definitely impossible.

But what if?

Cheng Jin thought from another angle.

What if Chu Chengye is an invisible Ai Mu, and he just likes others to scold him.

[She actually dared to scold me, she is so special, I must like her and give her endless glory and wealth. ]

Cheng Jin: "..."

If this is really the case, then Chu Chengye must be sick, seriously ill.

Cheng Jin thought so, and put his heart in his stomach.

Cheng Jin went to Jingyang Palace as usual, but paid attention to Chu Chengye's situation from time to time.

But since that day, Chu Chengye has never said anything suspicious again.

Chu Chengye arranged another position for Song Gengxian as he said before, which did make some people let down their guard.

Chu Chengye also privately discussed with some people who were ambitious about the post of Maritime Customs, and his words implied that he wanted to give the post to them. However, he never directly issued a written document or gave them a clear answer, which only gave them endless reverie, making them think that the post of Maritime Customs was just in their pockets.

Chu Chengye also secretly leaked the news to their mortal enemies, and those people naturally tried every means to find their weaknesses, so that they could not take up this position with a guilty charge.

For a while, memorials were submitted to Chu Chengye one after another, and some people even impeached the other party in person without caring about their face.
