Chapter 194 Who are you? What are you doing here?

Chu Chaochao was used to the wild life in Yingchuan, and she didn't like the rules of the palace. Chu Ying had already told Chu Chengye about it, so Chu Chengye didn't restrict her and let her move around in the palace.

Chu Chaochao sometimes went to Jingyang Palace with Chu Ying to discuss matters. It was boring to stay alone for too long, so she would wander around the harem alone.

There was still no news from Cheng Sheng. On the third day, Chu Chengye was ready to send troops to the border.

However, it was just a secret preparation and was not publicized in the court.

It was also on the third day that Cheng Jin came to Jingyang Palace for the first time in so many days.

She thought that she could protect herself well now, so she wanted to bring up the matter of going to the border again.

She couldn't do it by herself, but she could take Ziying with her. At least she wouldn't have to worry all the time.

She was ready to accept any outcome.

Even if it was the worst outcome, she had to see Cheng Sheng.

As soon as Cheng Jin entered Jingyang Palace, she saw a well-behaved girl looking up at her from the swing next to her.

Chu Chaochao sat on the swing, holding the rope beside her with both hands. Her orange-pink skirt swayed gently as the swing swayed back and forth.

Chu Chaochao asked, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

This was the first time Chu Chaochao had seen anyone in Jingyang Palace other than the emperor, Wei An, her and her father since she came to the palace three days ago.

Chu Chaochao knew that what her father discussed with Chu Chengye was important and unknown to outsiders. Since Chu Ying was helping Chu Chengye, she would naturally help as well.

Cheng Jin was slightly stunned by Chu Chaochao's question.

It seemed as if she had never been asked this question before.

From the time Cheng Jin first came here to now, it was basically Chu Chengye who took the initiative to ask her to come to Jingyang Palace.

However, after just a brief thought, Cheng Jin politely replied and told her name.

"Cheng Jin."

Chu Chaochao had no impression of Cheng Jin's name when she heard it. She grew up in Yingchuan since she was a child and did not have many opportunities to come to the capital, let alone remember many people in the palace.

But the last name is Cheng, isn't it a bit of a coincidence?

Chu Chaochao thought.

There are not many officials with the surname Cheng in the court. The most noisy one right now is the Cheng family where Cheng Sheng is from. The person in front of him might be related to the Cheng family.

It is this Cheng family that makes Chu Ying upset every day.

Thinking of this, Chu Chaochao's face was not very good.

She nodded slightly, "Are you a concubine in the harem?"

Cheng Jin didn't know who the person in front of her was, nor did she know what she was planning to do, and why she asked herself these questions. Cheng Jin didn't nod or shake her head.

Chu Chaochao waved his hand and said, "The emperor is discussing matters with my father in the room right now. I'm afraid he doesn't have time to see you now. You go back."

After hearing what Chu Chaochao said, Cheng Jin listened carefully to the sounds coming from the room. As she said, Chu Chengye was discussing matters at the moment, but she didn't know who it was.

All I know is that the person who is discussing matters with Chu Chengye inside has such a delicate daughter. The fact that Chu Chengye allows her to sit on the swing naturally means that

she has a special relationship with Chu Chengye. This swing was originally built by Chu Chengye because he was afraid that Cheng Jin would find his place too boring, so that Cheng Jin could stay here longer. There

were not many people who could come to Chu Chengye's Jingyang Palace, let alone women. Anyway, until now, except for himself, only the empress dowager and the maids-in-waiting would enter Chu Chengye's Jingyang Palace.

Chu Chaochao's status and position were extraordinary since she could come in.

But this was not the time to think about this matter. Cheng Jin just stayed for a while and then left.

Cheng Jin didn't know how long Chu Chengye hadn't been to Chunhe Palace, ever since the last time Chu Chengye promised Cheng Jin that as long as he was given some more time, he would solve Cheng Sheng's problem.

Cheng Jin thought of two reasons, nothing more than the guilt of not doing what he promised, or he was no longer willing to care about the Cheng family's affairs. I

don't know if ignoring the Cheng family is a trick to make the officials in the court pay less attention to the Cheng family. Cheng Jin really hasn't heard about the Cheng family in the rumors outside for a long time.

But this also has its pros and cons.

Everyone rarely mentions the Cheng family, and the Cheng family is no longer criticized, but it seems that no one has paid attention to Cheng Sheng for a long time.

But once Cheng Sheng is forgotten, after the troops on the border withdraw, Cheng Sheng will never have a chance to come back alive.

This is also the reason why Cheng Jin has been going to the border in person. If Cheng Sheng wants to prove his innocence, he must not be forgotten.

Chu Chengye is so busy dealing with the affairs of the court, so naturally he cannot prepare for everything. Cheng Sheng's affairs will slowly be forgotten by Chu Chengye due to the complicated government affairs.

Cheng Jin does not want Cheng Sheng to die unjustly again. Since he wants to save him, he must save him thoroughly, and it is best to change him completely.

Cheng Jin did not give up after leaving without seeing Chu Chengye, but became more determined.

After Chu Chengye discussed with Chu Ying about leaving Beijing in two days, he went out to see Chu Ying off.

Chu Chengye said, "After I go to the border, I will have to trouble my uncle to take care of everything."

Chu Ying nodded in agreement.

Chu Chengye made special arrangements for Cheng Jin. "I didn't want Concubine Rong to know when I left. Lieutenant General Cheng is Concubine Rong's biological brother. I have been worried about Lieutenant General Cheng for a long time. I have no appetite and only want to do something for Lieutenant General Cheng."

"If she knew that I sent troops to the border, she would definitely clamor to follow me. She has a stubborn temper and I can't get away from her, but this time is different from usual."

"The border wars have been going on for many years and are extremely dangerous. I don't have a complete way to guarantee her safety, so she must not go to the border. So please keep it a secret for me for the time being, uncle."

Chu Ying couldn't help laughing and said, "Since Rong Guifei can't go, His Majesty can have a hundred ways to

prevent her from going. Why should she not know and ask me to keep it a secret for His Majesty?" Chu Chengye said, "Apart from hiding it from her, I really can't think of any other way. I have many ways to prevent her from going, but facing Rong Guifei's request, it is difficult for me to refuse. Even if it is a serious word, I don't admit that I said it to her."

Chu Ying couldn't help laughing twice after hearing this.

"I said that the emperor had used all kinds of tricks at that time, escaped from that place, and successfully ascended the throne in a few years. I believe that the emperor also knew that the previous rumors had become a disaster. For the sake of his own government, even if a deputy general was really wrongly killed, so what? Why would he personally lead the army for a deputy general? It

turns out that there is this reason." Chu Chengye did not deny it, but explained: "There is this reason, but it is not all."

"The emperor's uncle also knows that, let alone how many years I have been the emperor, I have not even been in Beijing for a few years."
