Chapter 88: Potian’s wealth has never come to her, but she has never missed a chance to share the spoils

Now that Chu Huaian has been away from Beijing for just over a month, Xu Jilin can’t wait to ask him to come back?

It shows how much she loves her son. It

makes sense. Although Chu Chengye and Chu Huaian are both Xu Jilin’s biological sons, Chu Huaian has been raised by Xu Jilin since birth, so how could she not love him more?

Chu Chengye looked at Xu Jilin indifferently and asked,

“My mother has been in Shou’an Palace before, and she has never cared about anything except chanting sutras and reciting Buddhist scriptures. I sent my brother to Jiangnan for just over a month, so how did my mother know about it?”

Xu Jilin was silent for a moment, and looked at Chu Chengye with an awkward look.

"As the biological mother of the emperor and the fifth prince, although I don't care about other things in Shou'an Palace, how could I not care about the affairs of the emperor and the fifth prince?"

Cheng Jin sneered in her heart.

Xu Jilin's words sound nice, and she cares about Chu Chengye and Chu Huaian?

But Chu Huaian was just sent by Chu Chengye to work in Jiangnan, and there was no substantial harm, but Xu Jilin couldn't sit still so quickly and went out of Shou'an Palace to plead for him.

What about when Chu Chengye was poisoned before? There was such a big commotion in the front court and the harem, Xu Jilin couldn't have been unaware of it. Why didn't Xu Jilin come to see Chu Chengye, even if she sent someone to ask.

I'm afraid she is biased.

Chu Chengye did not answer Xu Jilin's words immediately, and tapped the table with his fingertips, again and again.

Xu Jilin continued, "I know what the emperor is thinking. I have raised the Fifth Prince by my side since he was a child, and the emperor thinks I am partial to him. I told the emperor straight out that it is not new that the Fifth Prince was sent to Jiangnan by the emperor."

"I didn't say it before, and I just thought it was the emperor's freedom. I don't want to interfere in the affairs between you brothers."

"But now your uncle met the Fifth Prince in Jiangnan. Your uncle has loved the Fifth Prince since he was a child, and he wrote to me to ask what the reason was."

"The Fifth Prince has now completed the work that the Emperor asked him to do in Jiangnan. If the Emperor delays in letting the Fifth Prince return to Beijing, I'm afraid that after your uncle returns to Beijing, he will inevitably mention this matter to you more often, which will give the Emperor a headache. It's better to let the Fifth Prince return to Beijing before your uncle comes." When

Xu Jilin said these words, her eyes never left Chu Chengye. Her eyes were as gentle as water, making it impossible for Chu Chengye to refuse.

Not to mention that Xu Jilin is Chu Chengye's biological mother, who saved Chu Chengye's life time and time again when he was young. Although he has never been close to her, blood ties cannot be severed.

Xu Jilin kept saying that she was considering him, and Chu Chengye couldn't help but hesitate.

The task he assigned to Chu Huaian was not an easy one, and he was not allowed to reveal his identity, so naturally it was difficult to accomplish. He did not expect that he had finished it so early.

Chu Chengye had originally wanted to find some random excuses to let Chu Huaian stay in Jiangnan for a few more days, but who knew that he would be bumped into by his uncle Xu Fenghui.

Xu Fenghui was a duke in the court. Two months ago, he volunteered to be ordered to escort grain and grass to the front line. Now that he has returned to Beijing, the task has been completed, and rewards are inevitable .

He met Chu Huaian in Jiangnan. If Chu Chengye did not recall Chu Huaian to Beijing, I am afraid that the first thing Xu Fenghui would do when he returned to Beijing would be to ask Chu Huaian to return to Beijing.

If he really waited until that time, rumors would inevitably spread that would be unfavorable to him. It is better to let Chu Huaian return to Beijing now, which can be regarded as a favor to

Xu Jilin. The next time he encounters Chu Huaian, Xu Jilin will not be able to interrupt.

Xu Fenghui couldn't find any evidence to prove Chu Chengye's wrongdoing.

Chu Chengye was silent for a long time, and just when Cheng Jin and Xu Jilin thought Chu Chengye would not agree, Chu Chengye nodded and raised his hand to let Wei An in.

"Since it is your mother who has spoken personally, I will immediately issue an order to allow your brother to return to the capital."

Xu Jilin said, "Then I will feel relieved."

"The emperor and the fifth prince are brothers, so they are naturally of one mind. The fifth prince is loyal to the emperor. He is just a leisurely prince and will only assist the emperor. He will definitely not have any ulterior motives."

Xu Jilin said earnestly, "The emperor must not listen to other people's rumors and become suspicious of the fifth prince. Your mother does not want to see a rift between you two brothers and suffer the same consequences as the late emperor and the other princes."

Chu Chengye agreed very well, but there was an elusive smile on his face and his dark eyes were bottomless.

"My brother and I will naturally not be like the late emperor and the emperor's uncle. The fifth prince and I are brothers, and I know all this. Please rest assured, mother."

Xu Jilin nodded and looked at Chu Chengye again. It was not known whether he believed it or not. After asking Chu Chengye some more questions, she returned to Shou'an Palace with the nanny beside her.

Xu Jilin said that since she had already left Shou'an Palace and the New Year was approaching, she would have to leave the palace again. Now if she closed the palace door to recite scriptures and worship Buddha, it would inevitably appear insincere in front of the Buddha, so she would no longer stay in the palace. Now that Cheng Jin was favored by the emperor, she let her come to him more often and he would also be lively.

Although Xu Jilin had a gentle elder demeanor, how could Cheng Jin not know Xu Jilin's true meaning.

It's just that I'm afraid that Chu Chengye will suddenly change his mind, so Xu Jilin can persuade him in front of Chu Chengye in time.

Besides, if Cheng Jin is asked to accompany him, I'm afraid that Cheng Jin will play some foxy tricks in front of Chu Chengye.

Xu Jilin probably put the blame on her for Chu Huaian being sent to Jiangnan.

Cheng Jin sighed in her heart.

[She didn't get the wealth of Potian, but she has to bear a lot of the blame.]

[Oh my God, I have never said a bad word about Chu Huaian in front of Chu Chengye.]

[Chu Huaian is the male protagonist in the book, and he has too many halos to count. I want to curry favor with him but I can't. By then, as a cannon fodder, I might even be able to save my life. 】

However, Cheng Jin was also puzzled. When did Chu Chengye become suspicious of Chu Huaian? This made Chu Huaian's first wave of attacks on Chu Chengye fail before they even started.

If Chu Huaian returns to the palace now, I don't know when and how the second battle will be fought.

Hui Guiren is still in confinement. When she hears that Chu Huaian has returned to Beijing and entered the palace, she will inevitably try her best to meet and contact Chu Huaian.

The book that Cheng Jin read was a melodramatic romance. After the male protagonist met the female protagonist and received a few good words from the female protagonist, he became like a chicken with blood, and he was very excited.

If these two really met, I don't know what the situation would become.

Cheng Jin did not stay in Jingyang Palace for too long. Now Xu Jilin knew that the emperor favored her alone and said some evil words to confuse the people.

Seeing that she was a thorn in Xu Jilin's eyes, how could Cheng Jin dare to hang around Chu Chengye again?

It would be better to stay in her own palace and wait for changes.

Since Xu Jilin no longer closed the palace to worship Buddha, Cheng Jin had to go to Shou'an Palace to pay respects every day.
