Chapter 27 Cheng Jin is the least trustworthy
Seeing that the maids around the noble concubine were so imposing, the servants naturally did not dare to doubt and got up from the ground and ran to the mansion.
Cheng Jin walked away a little, and quietly touched Cui Zhu in a place where no one could see, and leaned over to talk in her ear.
"Cui Zhu, I was scared by what you said just now."
Cui Zhu lowered her head embarrassedly and brushed her hair, "No way."
"But it's really refreshing and makes people feel comfortable."
Cui Zhu hurriedly echoed, "That's right, we usually suffer from the filth in the palace, and now we can finally be proud outside the palace."
"If you ask me, the lady is a noble concubine after all, and she is second to none in the palace. Why should you be afraid of that noble lady every day?"
Cheng Jin shook his head repeatedly.
[Do you think I'm afraid of Qu Wanxin? Nonono, I'm afraid of Qu Wanxin's halo as the heroine and the men behind her, Chu Chengye and Chu Huaian.]
When Cheng Jin read this book, she just read it for fun, so she didn't pursue the logic in the book.
Now think about it, it's impossible for Qu Wanxin to easily change the emperor who has the highest power and the five princes who are scheming to seize the throne in an era where power is life.
In this era, don't dream of changing men unless you can bring them power and benefits.
To put it bluntly, Qu Wanxin is just a little white flower in a green tea coat, and she is not a big threat. What
Cheng Jin should be careful of is the people of prominent status in this era.
While the servant went to call Zhou Quan, Cheng Jin asked Ziying to quickly change out of her maid clothes and put on the same clothes as her own, and then put on a cloak so that she would not be easily discovered.
The message from the servant was soon brought over. Zhou Quan was still having breakfast there, and he sat down on the ground in disbelief and asked the servant in front of him.
"You, who did you say is here?!"
The servant was also very anxious, "My lord, the people outside the door claim to be the Imperial Concubine, and I think they look like them, so I came to report to you." They
said it was the Imperial Concubine.
There was only one Imperial Concubine in the harem, and that was Cheng Jin, the biological daughter of Cheng Yishou.
Zhou Quan's heart was beating like a drum, and it was almost jumping out.
Why did they come at this time?
He just exchanged letters with Fu Hong yesterday, and today Fu Hong was going to come here to give him advice, and Cheng Jin came at this time.
Zhou Quan thought carefully. Although he was afraid of the title of Imperial Concubine, in the final analysis, he was afraid that Cheng Jin was the emperor's concubine and was afraid of the imperial power.
But everyone in the capital knew that Cheng Jin was not favored, but often made trouble for the emperor. If it were not for the fact that Cheng Jin was the daughter of Cheng Yishou, she would have been thrown into the cold palace long ago.
Now Cheng Yishou was in his hands. If these two people died, he would not have done a big favor to the emperor.
Who knows, it might be a small matter to be promoted to an official position and given a huge amount of silver.
Thinking of this, Zhou Quan stretched out his hand and asked the servant to help him up.
The servant stood for a long time but couldn't
stand up, with a look of embarrassment on his face, "Master, my legs are weak and I can't stand up." Zhou Quan was so angry that he couldn't breathe. After he stood up, he glared at the servant fiercely.
"Useless thing, kneel farther away if you want to."
After Zhou Quan stood up, he went to meet Rong Guifei outside the door.
When he arrived at the door, he pretended to be attentive and walked to Cheng Jin with his waist bent and knees bent, and bowed deeply.
"I didn't know that the noble concubine was coming. I'm sorry for not welcoming her in person. I hope you won't be offended."
Cheng Jin couldn't help but sneered, "I won't say these empty words to Lord Zhou. I came here today, and I'm sure Lord Zhou knows what I'm here for."
Zhou Quan pretended to be stupid, "I hope you'll forgive me for my poor eyesight. I didn't know."
"Then I'll be frank with you. You've detained my father in your house for more than two days. When will you let my father go home?"
Zhou Quan looked innocent, "Your Majesty is wrongly accusing me of this. Lord Cheng is doing well in his house right now. I was just playing chess with Lord Cheng and got stuck. I was a little late to welcome the queen."
"Well then."
Seeing that Zhou Quan still had no intention of releasing Cheng Yishou, Cheng Jin stopped pretending and said what he said.
"Since my father is comfortable living in your house, let me go and take a look."
"After we, father and daughter, have met, I can also tell the emperor that it is good for me to go home to visit my parents, especially my father, who would be best to get along with Lord Zhou."
Zhou Quan heard that Cheng Jin wanted to use the emperor to suppress him. If it was someone else, he could trust her, but he couldn't trust Cheng Jin, the concubine that the emperor hated the most.
Zhou Quan stepped aside and said, "My house is very simple. If you don't mind, I will lead the way."
He firmly believed that even if Cheng Jin met Cheng Yishou, it would be fine. He couldn't touch Cheng Jin for the time being.
But Cheng Jin and Cheng Yishou, a civil servant and a woman, how much could they do.
Cheng Jin walked in front of Zhou Quan with Cuizhu and Ziying beside her.
Zhou Quan spotted Ziying beside Cheng Jin with his sharp eyes.
She was dressed so formally, there might be a man hiding underneath, who wanted to kidnap Cheng Yishou.
Zhou Quan curled his lips behind Cheng Jin.
This woman is a woman, it's okay if she is a little scheming, but she can still be seen through at a glance.
He approached Ziying step by step, and when they were not on guard, he stepped on Ziying's cloak as if unintentionally, and put on a false face.
"Oh, I stepped on the clothes of the queen's maid. I'm so sorry, I didn't mean it."
The cloak on Ziying's head was pulled down, revealing her entire head. She turned her head and looked at Zhou Quan with murderous eyes, but she was suppressed by herself. She immediately looked at Cheng Jin to see what Cheng Jin meant.
Cheng Yishou saw at a glance that the person in front of him with the cloak was a woman, and he knew from her eyes that she was an extremely beautiful woman.
He had so many concubines in his backyard, so his eyes could not be wrong. The one in front of him was definitely a charming lady, and even though she was wearing a veil, he could tell from her eyes.
Cheng Jin looked at Ziying and shook her head slightly.
Zhou Quan began to find a topic, "It's not even the coldest month of winter yet, and the maids around the queen are dressed like this. It's really a bit suspicious."
Zhou Quan laughed out loud twice after he finished speaking.
Cheng Jin could no longer show any expression to Zhou Quan, "She just has a cold. Lord Lao is worried about her. I'm sure you've seen it, but it's for a woman."
"Not only that, but it's for an extremely beautiful woman."
Zhou Quan's eyes were always staring at Ziying with lustful eyes.
Ziying felt a chill. Cheng Jin stood in front of Ziying and mocked, "Lord Zhou hasn't changed at all. I've heard that Lord Zhou has many beautiful concubines, and now he's still as romantic as ever."
