Chapter 4: Treat your brain as soon as possible

However, she had to go to this banquet, so Cheng Jin had to get on the sedan chair.

She did not go directly to Yamato Palace, but to Chu Chengye's bedroom.

Chu Chengye had been sitting there waiting for Cheng Jin to come. He wrote down the list of guests he would invite today on a piece of paper, with dots and circles on the paper. He could not imagine who would want to kill him on this day.

After arriving at the place, it was particularly difficult for Cheng Jin to walk the few steps holding the wooden board, and the eunuch who followed her wanted to help Cheng Jin.

"My queen, can I hold this wooden board?"

"No need."

Cheng Jin quickened her pace and walked into Chu Chengye's bedroom with a staggering posture.

Instead of being shot to death by an arrow, he was going to be exhausted to death by the wooden board in front of him.

Chu Chengye stared at the woman in front of him motionlessly, looked at her dress, and took a deep breath.

If she wasn't still useful, Chu Chengye really wanted to follow her wishes and throw her to the cold palace.

No, throw her in with the pile of rags on her body.

"Noble Concubine Rong, what are you doing dressed like this?"

[What? ]

[To die together. ]

Cheng Jin looked up at the culprit who had brought her to this point, and she gritted her teeth.

If she hadn't been worried all the time that her status as a noble concubine would mean that she would inevitably be buried with the tyrant Chu Chengye after his death, Cheng Jin really wanted to be the one who assassinated him tonight.

"Nothing? Then come closer and help me look at something."

Seeing that Chu Chengye really looked like he had something to do, Cheng Jin put down the things in her hands and walked towards Chu Chengye cautiously.

"I've heard some rumors recently, saying that someone in the court hopes for my death. Can you help me analyze who is the most likely person to hate me at tonight's dinner?"

Chu Chengye seemed to be nonchalantly tapping the list of names for the evening banquet with his fingertips, his eyes eager to know who the assassin tonight is.

Cheng Jin wanted to know more urgently than him. If she could find out this person in advance, wouldn't she not have to suffer from all those swords and knives?

However, in order to prevent Chu Chengye from doubting her current identity and how she suddenly understood so much, Cheng Jin also put on a show.

"How can I know all this? I don't even recognize most of the people in the court."

[Then you have found the right person. I have studied this book so deeply that I know what color underwear those old antiques wear.

Chu Chengye pinched his brows with a headache, so what kind of book is this, even the color of the underwear of those old guys is written.

What about my own? Chu

Chengye realized that he was thinking in the wrong direction, and hurriedly shook his head to get rid of these strange thoughts.

How could I be led away by this woman?

Cheng Jin said that she didn't understand, and leaned over to look carefully at the people in the booklet one by one.

No?

How could there be no one?

Cheng Jin read through the booklet, and there was no general named Li Shen in this booklet no matter what.

[Could it be that General Li Shen was not written in the invitation book by the tyrant? ]

[The assassin was later found out to be Li Shen's man. 】

She looked up at Chu Chengye and spoke hesitantly, "It is rumored that there is a general named Li Shen in the court who fought on the battlefield with the emperor and they are as close as brothers. The general made an indispensable contribution to the victory on the border this time. Why is he not listed in the book? Is he not coming today?"

Chu Chengye did not respond immediately after hearing Cheng Jin's words. His eyes were fixed on the book at hand. His dark eyes were unfathomable. I wonder what he was thinking.

Is it Li Shen?

How is it possible?

Although Li Shen has no blood relationship with him, they are as close as brothers. He went to Southern Xinjiang with him to live out those humiliating days since he was a child. He slept on straw and suffered hardships for more than ten years before he got the opportunity to return to Southern Qi.

Li Shen helped him to force the emperor to abdicate and quell the chaos on the border, so that he could sit on the throne as the King of Southern Qi.

Chu Chengye boasted that he treated him well, and immediately gave Li Shen an official title and a higher rank after he ascended the throne, allowing him to enjoy all the wealth and honor.

Everyone in the world knew that General Li Shen had long been the emperor's half-brother, enjoying supreme power. He could see the emperor without prostration and could walk freely in the palace.

Now it was said that Li Shen wanted to kill him.

Chu Chengye really couldn't figure it out, really couldn't figure it out.

Chu Chengye was a little annoyed when he learned of this possibility, and waved his hand to knock the pen holder next to him to the ground.

Cheng Jin was frightened by Chu Chengye's sudden action and staggered, tentatively speaking, "Did your concubine say anything wrong?"

[Damn it, what kind of person is this? You asked me to say it yourself, and you are not happy after I said it. ]

[There are so many doctors in the palace, you should treat your brain as soon as possible, you have bipolar disorder. ]

[You treat him as a brother, but he is not satisfied with just these, official titles and ranks, what a joke, he wants the world of Southern Qi. ]

Hearing Cheng Jin's thoughts, Chu Chengye glared at Cheng Jin.

How bold.

How dare he say that he has a brain disease!

But when Chu Chengye saw Cheng Jin's innocent look, he was so angry that he had nowhere to vent.

Now saying that I know you are scolding me in your heart is really a problem with your brain.

And now he needs Cheng Jin's ability to know everyone.

"Nothing." Chu Chengye gritted his teeth and said, "General Li Shen said that there is something going on in the mansion and he can't come."

Cheng Jin pretended to be surprised.

[He said he can't come, so he can't come? 】

【He is the only one in the world who dares to offend the emperor. Giving him so much power is just giving him the opportunity to do something rash, isn't it? 】

【From ancient times to now, no general dares to ignore the emperor like him. If he doesn't kill you, who else will he kill? 】

Chu Chengye didn't say anything, his face darkened, and then he stood up.

It was indeed as Cheng Jin said, he seemed to have given Li Shen too much power.

Seeing that the Living King Yan had left, Cheng Jin heaved a sigh of relief and was about to pick up the wooden board she had brought to protect her chest.

Unexpectedly, Chu Chengye, who had just taken a few steps, suddenly turned around as if he had eyes behind him, and pointed at Cheng Jin or the wooden board she had just picked up, threatening:

"If you dare to bring that broken board to the dinner, I guarantee that your body will become as hard as that board."

Although Cheng Jin was not convinced, she had to put down the board, "Yes."

[Damn, you are so nosy. The knife of love didn't fall on you, so you are not the one who is hurt. 】

"And about that cloak, I don't want people to think that my vision is problematic, if you..." Chu Chengye pointed to his temples, "I have a doctor here, send someone to check you."

Cheng Jin laughed angrily, she bowed slightly and saluted, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty, I'm fine, the doctor should be kept for Your Majesty's use when you're not feeling well."

Chu Chengye didn't continue to argue with Cheng Jin, turned and walked out of the palace, waving his hand to Wei An who was guarding the door.

"Go, check what happened in Li Shen's house today. Also, as long as Li Shen enters the palace, tell me immediately. When Li Shen enters the palace, check everything like all the officials."

"Pass on my oral order, the Shadow Guards will stay in the dark at the banquet today, and if there is anything unusual." Chu Chengye suddenly lowered his voice, his hand nimbly around his neck.

Wei An understood it instantly and immediately started to do it.
