Chapter 77 Lord Pei Agreed

Chu Chengye was really at his wits' end.

If it had been someone else, he wouldn't have had such patience and would have sent someone to kill Pei Yu.

But Cheng Jin thought that Pei Yu was the only one who could save him.

Killing him would be like being incurable.

But now, Pei Yu was unwilling to go to the capital with him.

Chu Chengye was walking beside the carriage, and Cheng Jin suddenly touched her waist, as if looking for something.

Chu Chengye frowned, "What are you looking for?"

Cheng Jin looked back in panic, "It's not an important item, it's just the bracelet that the emperor gave me when I first entered the palace. Now I can't find it, and I guess it fell in Lord Pei's courtyard." Cheng Jin

was just making up an excuse.

When Cheng Jin first entered the palace, Chu Chengye didn't even know her, so how could he give her anything as a reward? It was just the items distributed to each palace by the Ministry of Internal Affairs according to their status.

Chu Chengye waved his hand and said, "No need to look for it anymore. Go back to the palace and I'll send some more to your palace."

[Chu Chengye is so rich and generous!]

Cheng Jin shook her head in pretended anxiety, "That's different. That's the first thing the emperor gave me. I treasure it."

Chu Chengye's first reaction was that Cheng Jin was talking nonsense, and he stared at Cheng Jin with a scrutinizing look.

Cheng Jin: "..."

[Okay, okay, I admit that I didn't lose anything. 】

Just when Cheng Jin was about to give up, Chu Chengye got on the carriage and said, "Since you cherish her, go and look for her. Wei An, you and Concubine Rong will go together."

Seeing that Chu Chengye agreed, Cheng Jin couldn't help but be happy.

Wei An followed behind, and Cheng Jin asked him to look in the front yard, while she went directly to the backyard.

Cheng Jin was gambling.

Pei Yu seemed to know that Cheng Jin was coming, and still stood under the withered peach tree.

Cheng Jin called out "Master Pei".

When Pei Yu looked at Cheng Jin, he seemed to be full of tenderness and stood up.

"I am no longer an official in the court, so you don't have to call me that."

Cheng Jin walked over, thinking that Pei Yu was now a teacher in the countryside, so she changed her name to "Sir."

Pei Yu smiled, "Are you trying to persuade me to return to Beijing and enter the palace?"

Cheng Jin did not hide it, "Sir, that's right, the emperor was killed by a villain, and now only you can save him."

"Please help me, sir."

Cheng Jin was about to bow, but was stopped by Pei Yu, "Your Majesty, just tell me, is it the emperor or your sweetheart who was saved?"

Although Cheng Jin was confused, she still answered honestly, "It's the emperor."

Chu Chengye, sweetheart?

The donkey head is not talking about the horse's mouth.

Something seemed to flash in Pei Yu's eyes, but it was gone in a flash.

Cheng Jin continued, "I'll tell you the truth, you are free and unrestrained in the countryside. I also know that it is difficult for you to come to Beijing, but if the emperor is ill, I will not be able to escape death."

"So please come to Beijing to help me for the sake of your past friendship with your father and our old acquaintance."

Cheng Jin said sincerely.

But she was actually worried in her heart. What she said was true, but she also took advantage of Pei Yu's feelings and involved him in this turbulent struggle.

There were two villains in Cheng Jin's heart who were arguing with each other.

[Cheng Jin, you are really not a human being. ]

[I look down on you. ]

[But I have to live first before you can look down on me. ]

Pei Yu also seemed to see Cheng Jin's entanglement, but just smiled calmly.

Cheng Jin was sweating, just betting whether Pei Yu would agree.

"There is no need to talk about this between you and me." Pei Yu said, "Since you asked, why don't I give up my freedom and go to the capital with you?"

Cheng Jin was surprised, "Sir, you agreed?"

"Then the emperor just told you, why don't you agree?"

"If I had agreed when I talked to the emperor, the queen would not have come back."

Cheng Jin was shocked. She didn't expect that Pei Yu could guess her actions clearly.

She looked at Pei Yu seriously, showing her palm to Pei Yu, "Sir, do you know the art of fortune-telling? Can you help me see how long I can live?"

Pei Yu smiled at Cheng Jin after hearing what Cheng Jin said, and gently pushed her hand, "I don't know how to tell fortunes, I just understand the queen."

Cheng Jin was a little disappointed, and teased, "It seems that I am more important than the emperor."

Pei Yu whispered, "The emperor is the emperor, and Xiao Jin is Xiao Jin."

Cheng Jin didn't hear clearly, but was still immersed in the surprise that Pei Yu agreed to go to Beijing and Chu Chengye was saved.

Cheng Jin bowed, "Thank you, sir."

"But now is not the time to talk. I told the emperor that I came to find the bracelet, and it's time to go back."

"Let's talk when we meet in the palace."

Pei Yu nodded and looked at Cheng Jin's back as she left.

Chu Chengye was just about to send Wei An to look for her, when he saw Cheng Jin coming out, beaming with joy.

"What's up? Why are you so happy?"

Cheng Jin got on the carriage with a proud attitude, "Your Majesty, you have to thank me this time. Lord Pei has agreed to come to the capital. Tomorrow you send someone here to pick Lord Pei up."

Chu Chengye said, "Aren't you looking for the bracelet?"

Cheng Jin touched her nose with a guilty conscience, "Yes, I lost it, but I went to the backyard to see Lord Pei and said a few words."

Chu Chengye said, "He listened to you? I didn't know that Concubine Rong was so eloquent that she could persuade the iron-hearted Pei Yu."

Cheng Jin thought of her humble attitude in the backyard just now. How could she say this? She could only continue to make excuses.

"The emperor only talked to Lord Pei about state affairs before. Lord Pei was concerned about the fields, so how could he return to the court? However, when Lord Pei heard that the emperor was unwell, he immediately agreed."

It doesn't matter if the process is wrong, as long as the result is right.

Chu Chengye looked at Pei Yu's house and just smiled without saying anything.

Chu Chengye was quick. After returning to the palace, he arranged Pei Yu's position and appointed him as a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy.

On the second day, he sent someone to bring Pei Yu to Beijing and settled him down.

The people in the court were already puzzled by Pei Yu's resignation from his hometown and leaving Beijing, and now that he is back in Beijing, they are even more confused. They

wanted to talk to him, but although Pei Yu was only in his twenties, he liked quietness like an old man and didn't like to communicate with others.

Although they wanted to get close to him, Pei Yu was polite and distant and didn't give them a chance.

In the evening, Chu Chengye kept Pei Yu.

Wei An explained the causes and consequences of Chu Chengye's poisoning. Pei Yu didn't care about these, he just took Chu Chengye's pulse.

Cheng Jin watched nervously on the side. Now Pei Yu was the last trump card that could cure Chu Chengye.

If he couldn't...

Pei Yu withdrew his hand and said, "Although the poison in Northern Xinjiang is toxic, it is not unsolvable."

Cheng Jin listened more seriously than anyone else.

"This poison slowly corrodes the body. Although it is hopeful to be cured, it cannot be completely eliminated in ten days or half a month."

Pei Yu wrote down a few medicinal herbs on the side and handed them to Wei An, "These medicinal herbs must be taken according to the quantity on the paper, not more and not less."

"Remember, these medicinal herbs can only pass through the hands of the father-in-law, and no one can tamper with them."
