Chapter 213: Injury is injury

When Chu Chengye asked about this, Cheng Jin had something to say. She shook her head honestly.

"There is no result yet. I only saw it in a book. I forgot which book it was."

Chu Chengye flipped through a book that Cheng Jin had placed on the bedside. "What if the result is the same as you thought?"

Cheng Jin seemed to have anticipated the moment when everything was settled. Joy overflowed from her eyes. "That would be great. At least the Qingzhou outside the city would be safe."

"What if it is different?"

Cheng Jin raised her eyebrows and chuckled. "The worst case scenario is that we will die together. Anyway, the Imperial Hospital has not written a prescription yet. It's no big deal if we can live for a few days."

It was obviously just a joke from Cheng Jin, but it made Chu Chengye feel a lot more relieved.

Yes, the worst case scenario is just like this, what is there to be afraid of.

Chu Chengye also laughed, "Yes, it's no big deal."

Cheng Jin took a break, chatted with Chu Chengye and ate some food, and then continued to prepare to finish reading the rest of the book.

Cheng Jin almost turned to the end and couldn't find the book she printed. Cheng Jin was so anxious that she scratched her ears and cheeks.

Cheng Jin subconsciously glanced at Chu Chengye next to her, her face wrinkled into a ball, Cheng Jin was a little sad.

"Why can't I find it? The book can't be lost."

Chu Chengye comforted Cheng Jin, "Take your time, these can't be read in one day, I'm here with you, and I'll let Wei An deliver those memorials later."

Chu Chengye's words reminded Cheng Jin, Cheng Jin suddenly raised her head, her tone was full of surprise.

"Yes, did I leave a book when I went to Jingyang Palace before?"

Chu Chengye also had some impression, "Is it on the bed?"

After hearing this, Cheng Jin became even more excited, "Yes, yes, yes."

Knowing that Cheng Jin wanted this book, Chu Chengye immediately stood up and went to Jingyang Palace.

Cheng Jin, who was in the pile of books, saw Chu Chengye was leaving and raised her head, "You want to find a book?"

Chu Chengye nodded, and Cheng Jin put on a smile, "Then when you come, can you not bring some of the pastries from last time? I haven't eaten them for a long time."

Since Cheng Jin asked, there was no reason for Chu Chengye not to bring them. He smiled at Cheng Jin and said, "Okay, wait for me here."

Even though he had confirmed that the book in Jingyang Palace might have the answer he wanted, Cheng Jin still didn't dare to relax. What if he remembered it wrong?

She could stay another day to read those books carefully, but the Qingzhou people who were suffering from illness outside the city could not wait.

The sooner she knew, the better.

After Chu Chengye left, Cheng Jin continued to read the remaining books that she had not finished.

But after a while, Cheng Jin heard another knock on the door.

It was Cuizhu's voice outside the door.

"Empress, are you asleep?"

Cheng Jin thought that Cuizhu was urging her to go to bed, and immediately replied, "I'm asleep, I'm asleep, I went to bed early, you should go back soon."

Cuizhu could only shut her mouth, but Cuizhu's conversation was still outside the door.

"Lord Pei, please go back first. I believe you have heard that our queen has gone to bed."

Pei Yu outside the door could see Cheng Jin still sitting in the same place through the gap in the door, and it was clear that she was not asleep.

These words were clearly said to perfunctorily Cuizhu.

Cuizhu has become extremely sensitive after what happened last time. Even Peiyu, whom she trusts very much, is just doing his job, fearing that something might go wrong again.

But this time, Peiyu specifically told Cuizhu that she didn't need to tell Cheng Jin that he was here.

Peiyu hasn't seen Cheng Jin since the last Lantern Festival. He can't accept that Cheng Jin is a completely different person now.

His beloved Xiaojin is gone.

But now thinking about it, it's really not a big deal. It's just that the taste has changed. Even sincerity can be changed, let alone taste.

Peiyu comforted himself that he was too serious. Xiaojin was obviously in front of him.

But the sudden difficulty in accepting it really angered Cheng Jin. Peiyu was afraid that Cheng Jin would not want to see him, so he informed Cheng Jin in advance not to mention his name first.

Cheng Jin, who was inside the house, had already heard Cuizhu calling "Master Pei". The moment she heard it, her back suddenly straightened and she felt uncomfortable.

The scene of the Lantern Festival seemed to be still in front of her. Pei Yu seemed to have been working hard to transform herself into a different person, the same Xiao Jin as he remembered before.

The same smile, the same hobbies.

But they are not the same person at all.

When Cuizhu asked this, Cheng Jin guessed what Pei Yu meant.

Just like Pei Yu, Cheng Jin was very angry and had almost made plans to cut off all the emotions she had released before.

But she can't do that now.

After Su Shen died, Pei Yu was the only one with superb medical skills in the palace. People in the Imperial Hospital could not write a prescription to cure the disease. Even if she proved that the epidemic was just a man-made conspiracy, she could not write a prescription to cure the diseases of the people of Qingzhou.

Now the only one she can rely on is Pei Yu.

The figure outside the door froze for a moment, and seemed to be about to leave again. Cheng Jin called out to Pei Yu who was about to leave.

"Master Pei, is that you?"

Pei Yu outside the door heard that it was Cheng Jin who was calling him, and a trace of surprise appeared on his face. The haze on his face dissipated instantly, and a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth again.

Pei Yu stood outside the door and said, "It's me, Xiao Jin, I have something to tell you."

Cheng Jin knew without thinking that Pei Yu wanted to apologize for the Lantern Festival, but it seemed too late to apologize.

The knife has been stuck in the heart. Even if it is pulled out now, the wound is still there, and the injuries are still there.

So the so-called forgetting the injuries caused by others is simply bullshit. Injury is injury. Since it has been caused, it will always be injury.

Pei Yu's previous attitude really hit Cheng Jin hard. After traveling to this unfamiliar and dangerous world, Pei Yu was the only person Cheng Jin trusted at first, and the only one who would do everything for her regardless of gains and losses.

This was the first time that Cheng Jin liked someone and was willing to open her heart to someone, but she encountered something like this. Even if Cheng Jin came from a modern era with advanced ideas, it would not help.

As for love, even if tens of thousands of years have passed, it is still a matter between two people. It is the mutual attraction and collision of two independent personalities, not one person looking for the shadow of a third person in another person.

Cheng Jin couldn't stand it and would never accept it.

After such a long time, Cheng Jin heard Pei Yu's voice again in the house, and she was filled with mixed feelings and her throat was tight.

Cheng Jin forced herself to laugh, "Is it about the Qingzhou people outside the city suffering from an epidemic?"

"Lord Pei is a kind-hearted doctor, I believe he is particularly concerned about this matter. Although I live in the inner palace, I am also concerned about the people outside the city." "

If Lord Pei wants to talk to me about this, I will open the door to meet with Lord Pei. If it is because of other things, please forgive me, Lord Pei. The epidemic outside the city is so serious now. I'm sorry I don't want to talk about other things now."
