Chapter 192 The Emperor's Uncle is Finally Here
"No!"
Chu Chengye answered quickly and firmly, leaving no room for negotiation.
"The border is a dangerous place. You have never been far away and have never learned martial arts since you were a child. How can you go there?"
Cheng Jin couldn't say anything to refute, because what Chu Chengye said was indeed reasonable.
But if she sits and waits for death now, the situation in the palace is changing rapidly. She doesn't know what will happen in the next moment. She dare not wait. She
is afraid that she will really wait for the news of Cheng Sheng's death.
Cheng Jin will be extremely angry at herself for being uneducated and unable to think of a perfect solution at this time.
But she has clearly read this book very thoroughly, why is she powerless at this time.
It turns out that no one is omnipotent at any time.
Cheng Jin knew that she had used a reasonable excuse to convince Chu Chengye, so she lowered her head and eyes.
Chu Chengye raised his hand and gently stroked Cheng Jin's back. He comforted Cheng Jin softly: "Give me some time, I will think of a way."
Cheng Jin just thought that Chu Chengye was comforting her, so she nodded.
Now because of Cheng Sheng's affairs, the court is in chaos, and Chu Chengye still has a lot of things to deal with, so he didn't stay in Chunhe Palace for too long. He arranged for the eunuchs and palace maids around Cheng Jin to take good care of her and left. After
Chu Chengye left, Cuizhu and Ziying surrounded him.
Cheng Jin looked at the two people surrounding him, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he pulled Ziying to his side.
Cheng Jin's eyes were filled with eagerness, "Ziying, please teach me martial arts." Ziying
and Cuizhu knew that Cheng Jin had told Chu Chengye that she would go to the border in person, and they were surprised.
"My queen, do you really want to go to the border?"
Cheng Jin nodded heavily, and Ziying reminded her reluctantly, "My queen, martial arts is not something that can be learned in one day, it's too late."
Cheng Jin shook her head, "As long as I start to act, it won't be too late."
Cheng Jin didn't want to learn martial arts because she was overestimating her ability. She really wanted to get news about Cheng Sheng quickly, but that was not all. Now Chu Chengye was busy with the affairs of the previous dynasty, and Cheng Jin wanted to protect herself. She didn't want to be the one who was always protected. Ziying
didn't say anything else. Like Cheng Jin, she also wanted to get news about Cheng Sheng and wanted Cheng Sheng to return to Beijing safely.
Although Ziying is not following Cheng Sheng now, she will never forget the kindness of saving her life.
She followed Cheng Jin on Cheng Sheng's orders to protect Cheng Jin's safety, and she would take this as her own responsibility.
In the next few days, Cheng Jin learned some basic martial arts from Ziying that could protect herself at critical moments.
Cheng Jin studied hard. She usually slept until noon before getting up, but she took the initiative to get up at five in the morning every day. She urgently needed to become strong quickly.
But some things cannot be done without accepting fate. Cheng Jin had almost no basics, and it was not easy to learn. Even if she studied very hard, she only mastered some simple ones.
Cheng Jin was not satisfied with this.
What she wanted was to achieve her goal, even though her waist and legs felt like they were being crushed by heavy objects every day. However, after reaching a certain point, she could no longer make any progress.
Cheng Jin would inquire about the news of the Cheng Mansion and the border during her free time from practicing martial arts. She
received exactly the same news for several days in a row.
The border troops will be withdrawn soon. By that time, even if Cheng Sheng was wronged, he would have no chance to prove it.
He was alone. Even if he escaped from the border guards, how could he return to Beijing from the border?
Cheng Jin didn't dare to think about it.
She also kept an eye on the news of Cheng Yishou and Zhao Shulan. After Cheng Sheng's incident, Chu Chengye arranged for Cheng Yishou to stay in the mansion for the time being. But as parents, how could they not be sad when such a thing happened?
However, they also thought of Cheng Jin who was alone in the harem, and sent many letters to the palace to comfort Cheng Jin.
Words of persuasion to Cheng Jin could not persuade themselves. While Cheng Yishou and his wife were sad, they never gave up sending messages to the border to find a solution.
But after a few days, there was still no news of Cheng Sheng from the border.
Those people in the court who targeted the Cheng family seemed to be more unscrupulous. Although there was a precedent of Lord Xu, Chu Chengye did not allow anyone to talk about Cheng Sheng.
But when the army returned to Beijing, Cheng Sheng would no longer have a chance to turn over. At that time, they would not care what they said and would report to Chu Chengye.
As the time for the border army to return to Beijing was getting closer, Cheng Jin became more and more anxious.
When Chu Chengye stepped into Chunhe Palace again, it was already mid-March.
In March, the weather had become much warmer, and even in the palace, one could feel the atmosphere of flowers in full bloom.
Today was different from the past, and Cheng Jin had no intention of appreciating the flowers in full bloom. She would just stare at the flowers in full bloom sent to Chunhe Palace by the Ministry of Internal Affairs when she had some free time from practicing martial arts every day. The past month
seemed to be particularly difficult, and her mood repeatedly jumped between expectation and disappointment.
Cheng Sheng's matter was originally a tricky matter, and Cheng Jin knew that it was useless to worry about it.
She could only hope that Cheng Sheng's fate had been changed by herself, and now it was just some minor changes, and Cheng Sheng would definitely turn the corner.
Chu Chengye was also busy with the affairs of the court, so he had fewer opportunities to come to the Spring Palace and stayed for shorter periods of time.
Sometimes, when Chu Chengye came, Cheng Jin was so tired from practicing that she fell asleep.
Cheng Jin slept more deeply than before, but even so, her eyebrows were still tightly wrinkled together, as if she had some unresolvable sorrow.
Chu Chengye knew what Cheng Jin was worried about.
She had just been practicing, and her forehead was sweating a lot, and the broken hair at her temples stuck to her forehead.
Chu Chengye raised his hand to smooth Cheng Jin's hair, and gently stroked her eyebrows. It seemed that Cheng Jin, who was sleeping, felt the person next to her, and she leaned to the side of Chu Chengye.
Cheng Jin did not wake up.
Chu Chengye did not disturb her rest, but stayed for a while before Wei An came in.
When Chu Chengye saw that it was Wei An, he knew something had happened, and he put his finger to his lips, signaling Wei An not to speak.
Chu Chengye stood up and walked out of the house with Wei An.
Wei An's face was filled with uncontrollable joy, "Someone outside the palace reported that Prince Yingchuan has entered the palace. He is expected to be here soon."
Chu Chengye quickened his pace when he heard the news. Chu Chengye
said, "Has the emperor's uncle arrived?"
Wei An nodded and said, "I guess the emperor will be able to catch up when he goes back now."
Chu Chengye did not stop and went directly to Jingyang Palace.
The news of Prince Yingchuan's entry into the palace was known to Chu Chengye's people. After Chu Chengye received the news that Prince Yingchuan Chu Ying had entered the palace, the heavy stone in his heart suddenly loosened a little.
The emperor's uncle is finally here.
