Chapter 245 She will do whatever it takes to help Chu Huaian
After hearing what Qu Wanxin's people said, Cheng Jin was silent for a long time and swallowed all the words she wanted to say to Qu Wanxin.
As the saying goes, respect the fate of others and let go of the sentiment of helping others.
At this time, when she has the room to choose, Qu Wanxin still chooses to follow Chu Huaian and dream of her position as queen, then she has nothing to say.
Cheng Jin is not a great saint. If she really persuaded Qu Wanxin with good intentions, she would definitely blame herself if she didn't become the queen as she said. She is not that sick.
It is better to let the situation develop and see who the winner is.
Cheng Jin nodded casually, and didn't entangle with Qu Wanxin too much. He turned around and left, leaving only a back view to Qu Wanxin.
Qu Wanxin stood there and looked at Cheng Jin's back for a long time without moving.
In fact, Qu Wanxin did not believe all of Cheng Jin's words. Qu Wanxin did not know what Cheng Jin's purpose was, nor did she know why she had been blocking her.
Maybe Cheng Jin wanted the same thing as herself, but she would do her best to get what she wanted.
The flowers in Chunhe Palace were lifted and changed in style. The tender leaves in the palace swirled and fell to the ground, and it was unknown when they turned orange and yellow.
Cheng Jin watched the palace servants clean up the fallen leaves, and Chu Chengye and Wei An came into the palace.
Even without Chu Chengye saying anything, Cheng Jin knew what they were doing this time. Counting the days, it would be the day of the autumn hunt on September 15th set by Chu Chengye in a few days.
Chu Chengye asked people to prepare the items for the trip, saying that there was nothing outside the palace, and everything was available.
Qinshan was not remote, nor was it as prosperous as the capital, and everything was available. This trip was not as peaceful as it seemed. If Chu Huaian was to be led out this time, he would inevitably be forced to do something uncontrollable. Cheng Jin must follow him this time and not leave for a moment.
Chu Chengye took Cheng Jin into the house with a solemn expression on his face. He had not rested for a moment since he saw Cheng Jin.
Cheng Jin couldn't help laughing and said, "Your Majesty is busy with all kinds of things, how can you take these little things to heart?"
Knowing that Cheng Jin was teasing him, the more he left the palace, the more complicated things became. Chu Chengye had not been able to spare time for several days. Many times Cheng Jin went to Jingyang Palace and never said a few words a day.
After finishing the work, he handed it over to Chu Ying to temporarily manage the government affairs, and came to Chunhe Palace when he had time.
Cheng Jin knew that Chu Chengye was busy, but she didn't expect Chu Chengye to keep talking about these things.
Chu Chengye pushed Cheng Jin to sit down, and he sat beside her holding Cheng Jin's hand, wanting to say something but stopping.
"I have been feeling uneasy these days, and I always feel that something will happen."
Cheng Jin did not deny this, she nodded and said: "Things will definitely happen, it just depends on whether we can minimize the losses."
"I believe you also know that there has been no movement in the Queen Mother's Palace these days. The quieter it is, the more likely it is that huge waves and storms will be brewing underneath." Cheng Jin paused for a moment, she raised her head and looked at Chu Chengye seriously, "Maybe some things will be very cruel to you at that time..."
Cheng Jin did not finish her words, but Chu Chengye had already understood.
Chu Chengye knew clearly that if Xu Jilin had to choose between Chu Huaian and him, Xu Jilin would definitely choose Chu Huaian without any hesitation.
Chu Chengye knew it a long time ago.
If Chu Huaian doesn't fight Chu Chengye with all his strength this time and doesn't get a chance to turn things around, then Chu Huaian will have no chance in his life.
Then Xu Jilin will naturally try every means to help Chu Huaian.
No matter what means.
On the day of the autumn hunt, a huge crowd set out from the palace. The capital was still some distance away from Qinshan, and it took five days on the road to reach the border of Qingzhou.
Chu Chengye sent some of the people who followed him to repair the facilities in Qingzhou City and stationed in Qingzhou, leaving only an army he often used, giving people the impression that Chu Chengye didn't have anyone around him.
Xu Jilin tried several times and said that Chu Chengye was not doing this. How could he be an emperor without anyone around him? Now he was in Qingzhou, far away from the capital, so he naturally had to be careful all the time.
Xu Jilin spoke sincerely. If others heard it, they would probably think that Xu Jilin was particularly concerned about Chu Chengye's safety.
But how could Chu Chengye not know what Xu Jilin was thinking? He raised his head and smiled at Xu Jilin, then moved his eyes to the book in his hand and said nonchalantly, "Those people follow me every day, and I can't have a bit of peace. Whatever I do is wrong. Now I finally have time to leave the palace and the capital, and I have found a reason to keep them busy for a while, so I can have some peace and quiet."
Xu Jilin raised her head and looked at Chu Chengye and smiled, "Now you are the emperor, why are you still as childish as before? This kind of thing can't be taken lightly..."
Xu Jilin wanted to say something else, but Chu Chengye put down the book in his hand and said helplessly, "Don't worry too much, mother. Qingzhou has always been safe, and nothing will happen."
Before Xu Jilin could answer, Chu Chengye continued, "If mother is still worried, it's just right. The guards in the capital will come in two days."
"Why are the guards from the capital here?" Xu Jilin suddenly clasped her folded hands together tightly, but there was no other emotion on her face, as if it was just a simple inquiry.
Chu Chengye nodded, "My mother has asked me several times, of course she is worried. I thought about it before, and it is just as my mother said, it is not appropriate to be alone. It just so happens that there is news from Qingzhou City that the city wall has been damaged in several places, and it may not be able to resist the foreign enemies."
"There are rumors about the invasion of the northern border recently. Take this opportunity to dispatch more people to repair the city, so as not to leave opportunities for those who have evil intentions."
Xu Jilin was absent-minded for a moment, and then praised Chu Chengye, "It is rare for the emperor to think of this. Southern Qi and the northern border have had no exchanges for nearly a hundred years. Although we will not take the initiative to start a war, I am afraid that the bandits in the northern border will take advantage of our weakness in Qingzhou and take advantage of the opportunity to enter."
"In this case, it is naturally better to dispatch troops from the capital as soon as possible."
"That's right. I've sent an order to them to come here quickly. It's estimated that the army will arrive within three days." Chu Chengye stood up and walked to Xu Jilin, saying softly, "Then you can rest assured."
Xu Jilin absentmindedly held Chu Chengye's hand in hers, but after a moment, they both withdrew their hands.
Chu Chengye looked at the scene outside the tent, turned to Xu Jilin and asked, "Tomorrow I will go hunting with the court officials. It will definitely be very lively. Do you want to join in the fun?"
Xu Jilin was silent for a moment, then smiled, "You all know the art of hunting, so you naturally find it very interesting. I don't know these things, and I don't know what happened these days. I'm very tired, so I won't go."
