Chapter 200 You already know everything
Chu Chaochao casually pulled off an extremely delicate hairpin from her head and shook it in front of Cheng Jin, "If you find it first, I will give it to you."
Cheng Jin watched Chu Chaochao's actions and did not say anything, but looked at the hairpin in Chu Chaochao's hand. Chu Chaochao
noticed Cheng Jin's gaze and said proudly, "This was given to my mother by the late Empress Dowager. It is a great honor..."
"If you win, I will give you this hairpin." Although
this thing is good, it has an unusual origin after all, and Cheng Jin did not intend to accept it.
Seeing Cheng Jin's hesitation, Chu Chaochao became a little impatient, "This is the only thing I can show you in the palace now. If you don't like it, I'll find you some new things when I get to Yingchuan, okay?"
Cheng Jin's original intention was not to win or lose, but to find Chu Chengye.
Cheng Jin nodded.
Seeing Cheng Jin nod, Chu Chaochao smiled, "Then it's settled."
"But if you lose, you have to play with me every day after the emperor leaves Beijing, no matter what time it is."
Chu Chaochao continued, she was calculating in her heart how many days Chu Chengye would leave Beijing, and how long she would stay with Chu Ying in the palace.
The palace was extremely deserted. Everyone either bowed or didn't dare to raise their heads when they saw Chu Chaochao. There was no one to talk to.
Although she didn't have a good impression of Cheng Jin because of the rumors from the former and harems, and only thought of her as a concubine who disturbed the government, she could only talk to Cheng Jin in the palace. Besides,
Cheng Jin was someone Chu Chengye cared about. What could she say about their husband-and-wife affairs?
Chu Chaochao was immersed in his own thoughts and didn't notice that Cheng Jin in front of him was full of shock and confusion.
Wei An, who was not far away, was even more scared after hearing what Chu Chaochao said, and he immediately came up to smooth things over.
"It's just that I'm leaving the palace for two days to deal with some trivial matters. It's not a big deal."
"Leading troops in person is not a big deal?"
Now Chu Chaochao was confused, and her voice became much louder.
Leading troops in person?
Cheng Jin pondered these words carefully in her heart.
Chu Chengye wanted to lead the troops in person. Could it be because of Cheng Sheng's matter?
Cheng Jin actually had the answer in her heart. She didn't stay far away for too long, and walked to the side by herself.
Seeing Cheng Jin was leaving without saying anything, Chu Chaochao immediately followed anxiously.
"Why are you leaving? Don't you want to play anymore? You haven't found the emperor yet."
Cheng Jin glanced at Chu Chaochao, who could not hide his disappointment.
Chu Chaochao was not very old, only about fourteen or fifteen years old, just the age when he loved to play and make trouble.
Her face still had some baby fat, and her bright almond eyes suddenly dimmed. She was holding up her skirt to catch up with Cheng Jin, who was walking fast.
Cheng Jin stopped and looked at Chu Chaochao, "No more playing, there are more important things."
Cheng Jin didn't know why Chu Chengye had decided to lead the troops to war without telling her, but the worries she had before were solved.
It's not that Cheng Jin couldn't just leave the palace without saying goodbye. She knew the secret passage to leave the palace, and there was an exit she had built before to save her life.
But she had invisible guards around her, and Wei An came to see her from time to time. If Chu Chengye found out that Cheng Jin had suddenly disappeared, he would definitely come to find her. Then even if she ran away, she would definitely be caught. It would be better to get Chu Chengye's consent first, so that she could leave openly.
Now, she already knew that Chu Chengye was going to lead the army in person, and no matter how powerful he was outside the palace, he couldn't control Cheng Jin.
Cheng Jin left Chu Chaochao behind and rushed to Chunhe Palace at a rapid speed.
Chu Chaochao was left alone stamping her feet.
"What's the matter? Can I help?"
"I won't make trouble."
Chu Chaochao started talking nonsense as she watched Cheng Jin's figure gradually disappear.
She didn't really want to help Cheng Jin, but wanted Cheng Jin to take her with her.
Cheng Jin didn't answer, and rushed back to Chunhe Palace.
It wasn't long before Chu Chengye left the palace, and she had to hurry to pack her things.
Wei An stood there and could only repeat in his heart: It's over, it's over.
No one expected that things would develop to this point, so Wei An could only go and tell Chu Chengye first.
When Wei An saw Chu Chengye, Chu Chengye had already arranged everything. Seeing Wei An panting in a hurry, he frowned slightly, "What's the matter?"
"No, no."
Wei An paused for a while before telling the whole story.
After hearing Wei An's words, Chu Chengye almost lost the teacup in his hand. He leaned on the table and looked at Wei An in front of him, "So Cheng Jin already knows now?"
Wei An nodded with his neck stiff, "Looking at Concubine Rong's expression, she should have known everything."
Chu Chengye was a little at a loss, and his eyes looked towards the door several times.
"Then when will she arrive?"
Chu Chengye put down the teacup in his hand, stood up, paced back and forth, thinking about Cheng Jin's arrival. Why did he refuse Cheng Jin's request without changing his
expression? Wei An was stunned for a moment before explaining, "Rong Guifei didn't come."
"What?"
Chu Chengye paused and looked at Wei An in confusion, "She didn't come?"
How could it be?
Cheng Jin knew that he was going to send troops to change tomorrow, so how could she not come back and let him take her with him?
This is too abnormal.
This is also the reason why Chu Chengye was reluctant to tell Cheng Jin. If he really told her, Cheng Jin would definitely insist on going.
Wei An nodded and said, "That's right, I am also a little confused. When Rong Guifei learned that the emperor was going to send troops tomorrow, she turned around and left."
"She went to Chunhe Palace."
While Wei An was talking, Chu Chengye kept the same action, he was thinking about Cheng Jin's motive.
Before Wei An asked Chu Chengye what he should do next, Chu Chengye had already walked out the door.
Chu Chengye walked absentmindedly.
He really couldn't think of what Cheng Jin was going to do.
It's better to ask directly.
When Chu Chengye arrived, Cheng Jin had almost packed her things. When she heard someone outside the door shouting "The Emperor is here", Cheng Jin hurriedly asked Ziying and Cuizhu to hide the things that had been packed.
She went out directly.
Chu Chengye looked a little uncomfortable when he saw Cheng Jin, but Cheng Jin didn't look surprised that Chu Chengye was going to send troops.
Cheng Jin was the first to speak, "Why is the emperor here?"
Thinking of Chu Chengye's efforts to avoid Cheng Jin just now, Chu Chengye's ears were hot, and his eyes occasionally strayed from Cheng Jin's, not daring to look Cheng Jin in the eye directly.
"You already know everything?"
