Chapter 260
Cheng Jin knew that Chu Chengye would protect her, so she climbed onto Chu Chengye's neck and lightly jumped onto his body.
Although Chu Chengye didn't understand why, he subconsciously took Cheng Jin into his arms. He looked at Cheng Jin sideways, and walked towards the bed with Cheng Jin in his arms. He pretended to be indifferent and asked, "Why are you so happy?"
There was a hint of sourness in his tone.
Cheng Jin didn't hear anything at this time. She smiled with her eyes crooked. She rubbed Chu Chengye's cheek again and again, and whispered in her ear to share her joy: "Pei Yu said I can be saved."
Chu Chengye snorted coldly, "Didn't I find the prescription that can save you a long time ago? You refused to drink it. Why did you drink what he gave it to you? His blood is sweeter than mine?" Cheng Jin
pushed Chu Chengye away without any curiosity, and then held Chu Chengye's hand and said, "I'm fine." Cheng Jin kissed Chu Chengye's face, their noses touching. Cheng Jin tried her best to look into Chu Chengye's eyes and feel his breath. She whispered, "Pei Yu's method doesn't require your blood anymore. I won't die, and you won't die. We don't have to separate."
Cheng Jin followed her feeling and kissed Chu Chengye's mouth, again and again, and gently licked the corners of his slightly dazed lips. Her bright eyes contained a smile, and she looked at Chu Chengye seriously:
"We can be together for the rest of our lives, and we will never be separated."
Chu Chengye should have been happy, but he froze in place as if petrified. He didn't even blink, and just kept looking at Cheng Jin. He seemed to be hit by a huge surprise and couldn't slow down.
Chu Chengye was about to speak when all his strength was suddenly drained from his body. He could not stand at all. He fell straight onto the bed beside him while holding Cheng Jin.
Cheng Jin could not see the situation clearly. She was frightened by this sudden change and screamed: "Ah!"
Although Cheng Jin fell with Chu Chengye, she did not feel any pain at all. Chu Chengye had been holding her tightly in his arms, and she fell on him.
After noticing Chu Chengye's abnormality, Cheng Jin had no time to think about it and nervously tried to climb down from Chu Chengye's body.
"Chu Chengye, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"
Cheng Jin had just raised her arms when she was pulled back by Chu Chengye again. He put his big hands on Cheng Jin's back and let Cheng Jin lie on him again.
Chu Chengye's voice was very soft. He put his hand close to Cheng Jin's forehead and whispered, "I'm fine. I'm just a little too happy. You stay with me for a while. It will be fine in a while."
Cheng Jin didn't know whether Chu Chengye was telling the truth or not. She couldn't see him now, so she could only touch his face to confirm. She asked, "Are you really fine?"
Chu Chengye opened his mouth and gently touched Cheng Jin's fingers with his lips. He raised the corners of his lips and looked at Cheng Jin, who was a little confused in front of him. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Of course, my body is fine. The expansion of Nanqi still depends on Concubine Rong."
When Chu Chengye said this, he deliberately added some ambiguity to his tone, wanting Cheng Jin not to worry so much.
Cheng Jin blushed when she heard Chu Chengye's dirty talk, stretched out her fist and hammered Chu Chengye's chest. Chu Chengye groaned.
Cheng Jin was nervous again, "Did you touch the wound?"
Chu Chengye couldn't help but raise his arm to touch Cheng Jin's lips. Cheng Jin was thinking about the wound on Chu Chengye's body, so how could she want to get close to him, so she raised her hand and pushed him away.
Chu Chengye grabbed Cheng Jin's hand and held it in his own. He tilted his head and kissed Cheng Jin on the mouth. He whispered, "It's okay, I just want to kiss you."
Realizing that she was fooled, Cheng Jin was so angry that she kissed Chu Chengye again.
Early the next morning, Pei Yu had already brought things. Only two maids who changed the water were left in the room, and Chu Chengye and the Cheng family were guarding outside the door.
The disease will take a long time to cure. Cheng Jin had already arranged for a few more chairs in the courtyard. The people outside the door seemed to be invisible and kept wandering outside the door. None of them could sit on the chairs.
At this time, all the people outside the door were family members. There was no etiquette between the emperor and his subjects. They were all worried about Cheng Jin inside the house.
From day to evening, everyone held their breath and waited. The Cheng family looked at the closed door and cried several times. Chu Chengye didn't know how to comfort them. He was a cold-blooded animal who grew up without his parents since he was a child. Apart from Cheng Jin, he didn't know how to establish a close relationship with others.
He was still silent and didn't want to speak. After Cheng Yishou comforted Zhao Shulan who was about to faint from crying, he walked to Chu Chengye and said worriedly: "Your Majesty, why do you look so bad?"
Chu Chengye looked up in a trance, wanting to say that he was fine, but he couldn't make any sound at this moment.
Chu Chengye couldn't feel his own existence at all now.
When Pei Yu entered the room to treat Cheng Jin, his body was shaking uncontrollably. He was sweating coldly, his lips were pale and bloodless, and it seemed that he would fall down in the next second.
If possible, he was willing to bear all this for Cheng Jin.
Cheng Jin was so afraid of pain, how could she bear it?
Chu Chengye was speechless, and could only wave his hand to Cheng Yishou to indicate that he was fine, and then kept his eyes on the closed door.
Time seemed to have stopped.
When Pei Yu came out, everyone in the courtyard gathered around him. When they saw Pei Yu nod, they all laughed as if relieved.
Pei Yu said, "The poison in Cheng Jin's body has been cured, but the damage to her body is too great. She needs to recuperate for a while."
Chu Chengye followed Pei Yu's line of sight and saw Cheng Jin lying on the bed in a coma. He muttered to himself as if he was in a trance, "Rest for a while, rest for a while."
This recuperation lasted for two years.
Cheng Jin had almost become a useless person in the palace.
Except for the fact that Cheng Jin participated in a ceremony to crown the queen, that day made Chu Chengye very nervous and asked the imperial physician to wait for her all the time.
Cheng Jin couldn't help laughing while persuading him.
During her recovery period, Chu Chengye asked Cheng Jin to move to Jingyang Palace, as Chu Chengye said.
He knew Cheng Jin too well, and knew that she loved to be pampered, and would be disobedient and pushy. If Cheng Jin was not around, Cheng Jin would probably go crazy. Cheng
Jin was not used to being served by others. Even during the time when she was blind, she was afraid that her reasons would bring misfortune to those palace maids and eunuchs because of her, and Cheng Jin was even reluctant to get out of bed for a long time.
But when she was eating with Chu Chengye, she did everything as if it was a matter of course.
Chu Chengye was happy to be trusted and relied on by Cheng Jin.
It was what he wanted.
Cheng Jin had long been accustomed to Chu Chengye's care, and even couldn't leave it.
But over time, no matter how good the care was, it would become a shackle, and Cheng Jin was not the kind of person who would be willing to stay in the harem for the rest of her life. After she recovered, Cheng Jin began to think of ways to make trouble.
At that time, the people of Qingzhou were sick and their homes were destroyed, so they came to the capital for refuge. After the matter was resolved, most of those who stayed were women and girls. Some returned to Qingzhou, and some stayed in the capital.
Many of them did not have any advantages in the capital, and even with the help of the court, it was difficult for them to gain a foothold in the capital for a long time.
Cheng Jin thought of opening some girls' schools and women's clinics to leave a way out for those women and girls.
It was not difficult.
But Cheng Jin wanted to do it herself, but was strongly opposed by Chu Chengye, and they even had a big quarrel, to the point of sleeping in separate rooms.
Chu Chengye advised earnestly: "Your health has just improved, and you're thinking about working hard, it's simply nonsense!"
Chu Chengye's temper has changed a lot because of taking care of Cheng Jin and because he almost lost Cheng Jin. He never gets angry in front of Cheng Jin, and he doesn't even speak loudly.
Hearing Cheng Jin say this now, he is really anxious.
Cheng Jin stood on a chair with her hands on her waist and competed with Chu Chengye to see who has the louder voice.
"What am I talking about?"
"It's been such a long time, even if I have broken arms and legs, they should have grown back, you are just making a fuss."
Cheng Jin shouted at the top of her voice, with an undisguised arrogance.
Chu Chengye sighed, fearing that Cheng Jin would fall down, and pointed at Cheng Jin, "I won't fight with you, you come down."
Cheng Jin thought Chu Chengye had given up, and smiled uncontrollably, negotiating with Chu Chengye.
"Then you have to promise me first."
Chu Chengye would never give in to such a principled matter.
"Impossible, except for this matter."
Cheng Jin widened her eyes with an expression of disbelief, "Why?"
"You are too authoritarian, I will report to the police! Arrest you and put you in jail!"
Chu Chengye was so angry that he laughed at Cheng Jin's words, "The government can't try this matter."
"If you want to do it, wait until you are well, and I won't stop you."
Cheng Jin couldn't wait to prove herself after hearing Chu Chengye's words. She jumped twice on the chair and said seriously: "I have been well for a long time, you see..."
Before Cheng Jin finished speaking, she was steadily caught in Chu Chengye's arms. He looked up at Cheng Jin and smiled dotingly: "Then why do you always talk about your poor health at night?"
"I feel unwell at night, and I am full of energy during the day."
"Little liar, which one of you should I believe?"
This is like Cheng Jin shooting herself in the foot.
She lowered her head and held Chu Chengye's face and smiled: "I don't know either, who knows?"
"You."
Cheng Jin continued to persuade Chu Chengye, "I'm really fine now, just promise me."
If she didn't agree, Cheng Jin estimated that she would not give up easily.
Chu Chengye helplessly put Cheng Jin on the bed and said to her, "Summon the imperial physician later to take a look. If there is nothing wrong, I will agree."
Cheng Jin jumped on Chu Chengye again with shining eyes and kissed him hard on the face, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Chu Chengye was forced to take several steps back by Cheng Jin's attack, and couldn't hold back the smile on his face, "I know."
Cheng Jin's body was indeed better, and Chu Chengye, as he promised, handed over the affairs of running the women's clinic and the school to Cheng Jin.
But it is inconvenient for Cheng Jin to show up in public with her current identity, so she invented a miserable identity as a disguise.
A woman hated by her husband.
Chu Chengye was not very happy when he found out, but because Cheng Jin was so excited, he did not say anything.
But gradually, Cheng Jin became busy outside the palace, and was often not seen in the palace. When she came back, she fell asleep immediately, and ignored Chu Chengye who was bothered by the ministers every day. Not only
did they not have intimacy, but Cheng Jin even forgot their goodnight kiss every night.
Chu Chengye looked at Cheng Jin, who was sleeping soundly at the moment, with resentment on his face, but he did not wake her up. He originally thought that he would settle the new and old accounts together the next day, but when he opened his eyes the next day, the little creditor had already gone to work.
Busier than him as the emperor.
Chu Chengye waited outside the school for Cheng Jin on purpose.
From a distance, he saw Cheng Jin surrounded by several little girls, and followed Cheng Jin out.
When they reached the school gate, the group of little girls dispersed.
It was dusk, and the sun shone directly on the ground, blinding people.
Cheng Jin saw Chu Chengye waiting outside the carriage at a glance, and couldn't help but ran over with surprise and stood in front of Chu Chengye.
"Why are you here?"
Chu Chengye held Cheng Jin in his arms and lowered his head to rub her nose.
"Come and take our busy man home."
Cheng Jin pretended to push Chu Chengye, slightly distanced the two of them, and whispered: "This won't work. I told others that I am a woman who is hated by my husband. You are like this..."
Before Cheng Jin finished her words, Chu Chengye grabbed her waist and picked her up and strode into the carriage.
He had an undisguised smile on his face:
"Then I am Miss Cheng's lover."
Seeing Chu Chengye so deeply into the role, Cheng Jin couldn't help but lean on Chu Chengye's shoulder and laughed out loud. She couldn't control her trembling and almost fell into Chu Chengye's arms.
Chu Chengye just looked at Cheng Jin and laughed with her hands on her stomach. He took the opportunity to hug Cheng Jin and whispered to Cheng Jin's ear.
"Then don't let anyone find out if you go home with me to have an affair."
The two laughed and snuggled up to each other.
The carriage was on the way back to the palace, and the setting sun shone through the curtains onto Cheng Jin.
This was good enough.
It would be best if it stayed this way for the rest of my life.

In March of the 15th year of Jianping, Prince Jing Chu Chengye killed his father and ascended the throne.
In May of the 2nd year of Qingyuan, Cheng was canonized as Rong Guifei, and the emperor favored her alone. In October of the 5th year
of Qingyuan, the emperor repelled foreign enemies, and Prince Rui secretly plotted a rebellion and was beheaded at Qinshan, and the empress dowager passed away. In September of
the 6th year of Qingyuan, Rong Guifei had just recovered from a serious illness, and the emperor issued an edict to make her the empress and hold a ceremony to confer the empress on October 5th.
The emperor loved the empress so much that he vowed to have only one person in his life, so he issued an edict not to appoint concubines, and the emperor and empress lived in the same palace and lived together, like a couple in the private world. In
the spring of the 8th year of Qingyuan, the empress gave birth to a son named Chu Jingyan, and the emperor secretly made him the crown prince. In the autumn of the 10th year of Qingyuan, the empress
gave birth to a daughter named Chu Jingyu, who was conferred the title of Princess Changle.
The Southern Qi Dynasty was not invaded by foreign enemies, and the people lived in peace and prosperity for a hundred years, which was known as the "Qingyuan Prosperity".
