Chapter 70: Is the Emperor suspicious of me?
"When the Emperor said he had a stomachache, I suspected that the dinner was poisoned."
"But I watched the Emperor's meal with my own eyes, and there was nothing unusual. The Emperor didn't eat a single bite."
"I guess it was poisoned that time."
Cheng Jin and Wei An spoke almost at the same time.
Wei An looked up at Cheng Jin and sighed, "It's okay if this little Shunzi died, but the Emperor's poison has not been cured, and who ordered it has not been found out yet."
This is indeed the case.
However, if the plot in the book develops, Chu Chengye will have to suffer a lot.
As a villain, Chu Chengye's existence itself is to prevent Chu Huaian from ascending to the throne. Although he is powerful, a villain is a villain, and Chu Huaian, who is righteous, will always find flaws in him.
There are many assassinations and poisonings.
When reading the novel, Cheng Jin only regarded herself as an outsider, and her perspective was also that of the protagonist, which made her feel refreshed.
Now that she has become a villain, everything is difficult to do.
But even if everything is difficult, she has to do it. She can't just sit and wait for death.
Cheng Jin and Wei An hurried to Jingyang Palace.
Chu Huaian's palace has never liked too many people. At night, the eunuchs and palace maids went somewhere else. Now there are only two eunuchs on guard.
When the two young eunuchs saw Cheng Jin, they were much more sober and immediately kowtowed.
What is Concubine Rong doing here in the middle of the night?
Is there something wrong with the emperor?
But they were guarding here and didn't hear any movement from the emperor.
Cheng Jin nodded slightly and let them get up.
Wei An only took one look and knew what the two young eunuchs were thinking when they exchanged glances, so he interrupted their thoughts.
He spoke closely to the two young eunuchs.
"The emperor has been accustomed to being served by Concubine Rong these days. Even if I were by his side, it would be difficult for him to do what he wants."
"The emperor was lonely and couldn't sleep late at night, so I asked Concubine Rong to come."
The two young eunuchs looked at each other and nodded.
The meaning of asking Concubine Rong to come in the middle of the night was probably self-evident.
"So, there is no shortage of people to keep watch in Jingyang Palace now. The emperor hates people gossiping behind his back the most, so you should have some tact and don't say anything when you go back to sleep."
It was their turn to work, so they could go back to rest instead of working. The two eunuchs were very happy. They responded quickly and left Jingyang Palace together.
Wei An knocked on the door patiently when he entered.
But no one in the room answered.
It's already this time, and you're still knocking.
If Chu Chengye is dead in there, how can I answer you?
Cheng Jin pushed the door hard, but it didn't move at all.
I don't know who Chu Chengye is guarding against, the door is closed tightly.
Cheng Jin didn't have the patience to call Chu Chengye to open the door for her, so she kicked it directly.
Wei An: "!!!"
This Cheng Jin is really not afraid of anything.
The door he kicked was the Wansui Ye's door!
At this time, Cheng Jin didn't care about Wansui Ye or Qiansui Ye. Seeing that the door was a little loose, he increased his strength.
The door opened.
Cheng Jin looked into the room. At this time, the room was pitch black and silent as if no one lived there.
But there should be a person lying inside who was poisoned.
Cheng Jin made such a big noise just now, Chu Chengye should have made some noise .
Cheng Jin thought of something and was suddenly shocked.
Chu Chengye must be dead.
Thinking of this, Cheng Jin immediately rushed into the room.
As soon as she stepped into the room, Cheng Jin was pulled by a force. She felt her body spinning and was pressed against the door.
Cheng Jin's breathing stopped and she even forgot to scream. She looked at the person in front of her with fear in her eyes.
What caught her eyes was Chu Chengye's extremely pale face.
But even though he looked weak, Chu Chengye still had murderous intent in his eyes. He stared at Cheng Jin in front of him with bloodshot eyes and hostility.
Chu Chengye blocked Cheng Jin against the wall, holding a short blade in his hand and pressing it against Cheng Jin's neck.
Chu Chengye's tone was like ice, staring at Cheng Jin in front of him with murderous intent.
"Why are you here? Who asked you to come?"
Cheng Jin was shocked.
[Tyrant, one of us, one of us.]
[I am one of us.]
[What are you doing? Have you been displeased with me for a long time and wanted to kill me to silence me?】
When Wei An entered the room, he saw Chu Chengye holding a knife against Cheng Jin, and he was so scared that he hurried forward to stop him.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this is Concubine Rong."
Seeing Wei An again, Chu Chengye seemed to be more sober, the cruelty in his eyes faded, and his expression became clear.
He exhaled, and the strength in his hands loosened slightly, but he still did not retreat.
Chu Chengye looked at Cheng Jin and then at Wei An.
"Did Wei An ask you to come?"
Wei An knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, it was I who took the initiative to invite Concubine Rong."
Cheng Jin nodded.
Chu Chengye glanced at Cheng Jin, thinking of the kicking of the door just now, and said calmly, "You are so brave to kick my door."
Cheng Jin explained, "It's because I am worried about the emperor."
Chu Chengye nodded slightly, and he didn't intend to pursue it further.
Cheng Jin saw that Chu Chengye no longer had the murderous intent, and she slowly recovered from her fear.
Did Chu Chengye put a knife to her neck just now?
Was he going to kill her?
[You are so good, Chu Chengye. I am worried about you and try to make you believe in the detoxification methods and people in this book.]
[You are so good. You actually want to kill me?]
[If I die, you will probably be close to death.]
[At worst, we will be together in the underworld. Who is afraid of whom?]
Cheng Jin became more and more angry. She glared at Chu Chengye and then looked at the short blade that Chu Chengye had not put away. Cheng Jin said coldly:
"Your Majesty just suspected me?"
Chu Chengye looked away with a guilty conscience.
When he heard someone kicking the door, Chu Chengye hid behind the door, but he did have the intention to kill.
But this poison seems to have the ability to control people's minds. When he saw Shi Chengjin, his suspicion was obviously dispelled, but he looked at the person in front of him, as if he couldn't control his behavior.
No matter who is in front of him, he just wants to kill him as soon as possible.
It seems that he can only feel satisfied when he sees people begging for mercy in front of him and a bloody scene.
When Wei An knelt down to speak, he sobered up a little and realized what he was doing.
Chu Chengye heard Cheng Jin's question and subconsciously wanted to deny it. Before he opened his mouth, he saw Cheng Jin staring at him fiercely.
Chu Chengye lowered his voice, and seemed to lack confidence. "I didn't mean it. I was not clear-headed just now."
Cheng Jin was not willing to believe Chu Chengye's words. She was afraid that he said this to fool her.
She was scared just now. Is it over if he says it's not intentional?
It's not over.
Cheng Jin looked at Chu Chengye's innocent look and became more and more angry.
She, a victim, didn't make this expression yet, but he actually snatched her expression. She couldn't bear it.
Cheng Jin directly snatched the short blade that Chu Chengye had not yet put away, held it in his hand, and slashed Chu Chengye's arm without hesitation.
Bright red blood flowed out from the torn black pajamas.
Cheng Jin's face did not change, and his tone was calm, as if he did not realize that there was anything wrong with what he did.
