Chapter 239: Lay a trap without loopholes

Now there is only one way to start with Cheng Jin, whether it is true or false, Xu Jilin can only try.

The serious thing is to make Chu Chengye change his mind and withdraw the wanted document of Man Nanqi.

In this way, her An'er can keep his life no matter what.

As long as the green mountains are there, there is no fear of lack of firewood. Xu Jilin has been in the harem for so many years and has experienced everything. She has been favored and naturally neglected. As long as people are alive, there is nothing that cannot be changed.

Xu Jilin secretly clenched her fists. Now she, Cheng Jin, is in glory, and a noble concubine dares to climb over her head and negotiate with her.

Just like what Cheng Jin said, after this storm has passed and Chu Huaian has prepared for the right time, Xu Jilin will definitely let Cheng Jin know who is in charge of the harem and the entire Southern Qi.

Even if she agrees to Cheng Jin now, what will happen? Chu Chengye has few concubines in the harem. Even if she doesn't say it, she can find two censors to make trouble in front of Chu Chengye, and Chu Chengye will agree if he gets tired of it. Since

ancient times, emperors have loved beauties. When Cheng Jin is old and ugly, Chu Chengye will definitely fall in love with someone else. She will not worry about not having obedient people to use.

Xu Jilin was silent for a moment, then raised her head and met Cheng Jin's eyes, "As long as the concubine and the emperor are fine, I will naturally not interfere."

Cheng Jin bowed to Xu Jilin, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your help."

Cheng Jin stood up and raised her eyebrows and glanced at Qu Wanxin, who immediately understood, "It was not my intention to enter the palace. It was all a misunderstanding. The emperor also knows that I have a rapport with the fifth prince. If I am with the fifth prince again and leave the palace, I will naturally not dream of the emperor and the harem being rich and powerful."

Cheng Jin nodded. Xu Jilin stared at Cheng Jin in confusion and asked, "You also said before that the emperor is angry now. What should you do?"

Cheng Jin smiled at Xu Jilin, "The former officials were rewarded according to their merits in the court, and the harem is naturally rewarded on the bed."

"Did you really tell the Queen Mother that?" Chu Chengye half-embraced Cheng Jin in his arms, his body shaking with laughter.

Cheng Jin pushed Chu Chengye hard in anger, "Are you still laughing?"

"If it weren't for the Queen Mother to believe what I said, would I have risked my life like this? Now, my reputation as a seductive woman who brings disaster to the country has spread. I guess people will point fingers at me when they see me in the future."

Chu Chengye held Cheng Jin's arm tightly and said in a deep voice, "Let's see who dares!"

"I'm not dead yet, who dares to say that about my beloved concubine."

Cheng Jin looked at Chu Chengye speechlessly, "Stop acting, you're acting more like a tyrant addicted to wine and sex."

After hearing what Cheng Jin said, Chu Chengye straightened his expression, "Why did the empress dowager suddenly go to Chunhe Palace?"

Cheng Jin glanced at Chu Chengye and said, "Of course the emperor is heartless and doesn't care about the feelings of brothers and blood relatives. I'm a woman in the harem with a narrow vision and knowledge, so it's easier to talk to him."

What Cheng Jin said made sense. Chu Chengye didn't want to listen to Xu Jilin's plea. In order to avoid feeling soft-hearted when seeing her, he simply didn't even see Xu Jilin. The only person in the entire harem who could talk to Chu Chengye had some confidence, and Cheng Jin was the only one Chu Chengye was willing to listen to.

But Xu Jilin had tried so hard to kill Cheng Jin before, and she probably pinned so many unfounded charges on Cheng Jin. It would have been fine if they didn't say harsh words to each other when they met, but now she was even humble enough to ask Cheng Jin to intercede for Chu Huaian.

Chu Chengye couldn't help but sneer. His mother would really do anything for his brother.

What about when he was a hostage in the vassal state for Chu Huaian? Was Xu Jilin speaking for him, or was she planning for Chu Huaian?

Noticing that Chu Chengye was in a daze, Cheng Jin raised her hand and waved it in front of Chu Chengye, "What do you mean? Do you want to listen to the Queen Mother's words?"

Chu Chengye shook his head resolutely, "Chu Huaian has committed such a serious crime. He has killed so many innocent people for his own benefit. Even if he is cut into pieces, it will not be enough to atone for his sins. The Queen Mother wants to spare his life, but it's impossible."

Cheng Jin saw that Chu Chengye's eyes were full of resentment and realized that something was wrong with Chu Chengye. She sat up straight and raised her hand to touch Chu Chengye's.

"What's wrong?"

Chu Chengye came back to his senses, hid all the emotions in his eyes, and looked at Cheng Jin, "If we let it go, I'm afraid it will be difficult to quell the public's anger."

Cheng Jin nodded, "Of course we can't let it go, but if we just stay like this Wait, when will Chu Huaian be punished? If he is allowed to hide, with the Queen Mother behind him and Duke Xu helping him, he will live a happy life even if he avoids seeing people. Do you really want to let him live like this for the rest of his life? "

"If you want to catch Chu Huai'an, it's useless to just tighten the line and force him. Nan Qi is so big, do you really have to dig up the ground inch by inch to find it?"

"We are in the light, and Chu Huaian is in the dark. The Queen Mother Chu Huaian knows exactly what we are going to do, but we have no idea what they are doing. If we want to solve all the problems, we must lure Chu Huaian out."

Chu Chengye said, "But we can't force him out, how could he show up casually and let us catch him?"

"Isn't Chu Huaian's handle in the palace?"

Cheng Jin looked out the window, "The Queen Mother is also Chu Huaian's biological mother, and she loves Chu Huaian the most. Chu Huaian is the most filial and listens to her the most. If they get the chance to settle down, how could they not meet each other?"

"Qu Wanxin is even more so. They have been childhood sweethearts and have already secretly decided to spend their lives together. The emperor let Qu Wanxin enter the palace before just to control Chu Huaian, and now he can still use the same trick to lure Chu Huaian out."

"What we have to do is to set up a trap without loopholes and give them a chance to meet."

"Is this game set for the autumn hunt in a month?" Chu Chengye suddenly realized and continued to speak along with Cheng Jin's words.

"The imperial palace in the capital is full of my people, my spies. Chu Huaian will definitely not take risks. If he is not in the capital, not in the palace, Chu Huaian will think he has got the chance and will naturally show his flaws."

Cheng Jin nodded and said, "That's right."

"Have you thought about where to set the autumn hunt this time?"

Cheng Jin's words woke Chu Chengye up. The Southern Qi has had the habit of autumn hunting for hundreds of years, in order to show the country's prestige, pray for the people, and pray for good weather in the coming year.

Chu Chengye has been on the throne for more than two years. In the past few years, due to the continuous wars, the treasury was empty, so it was naturally waived.

This year, Nan Qi has taken back all of its homeland, and it is reasonable that he should leave the palace to hunt in autumn and pray for the people.

Chu Chengye has no idea where to choose.

If it is too close, the trap he set may not work. Chu Huaian is the most suspicious person, and he may not believe it so easily. If it is too far...

Chu Chengye had an idea in mind. He looked up at Cheng Jin, and the two of them said the same thing almost at the same time.

"Qingzhou."
