Chapter 90. Has the noble lady Hui been released?

Xu Jilin looked unhappy for a rare time, and gave it to Cheng Jin

to wear. "Just accept what I give you."

Cheng Jin could not refuse any more, and stood up to salute and thank her.

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

Xu Jilin nodded with satisfaction as she watched Cheng Jin put on the gold hairpin.

No wonder Chu Chengye said that he liked Cheng Jin to dress luxuriously and richly, Cheng Jin's face seemed to be born with these luxurious items.

When it comes to Cheng Jin, it seems that this item can really show its most beautiful appearance.

Xu Jilin couldn't help but sigh, "It's still good to be young, I'm old."

After hearing what Xu Jilin said, Cheng Jin immediately realized that he had to flatter.

She immediately replied to Xu Jilin with a smile, "The Empress Dowager is still as elegant and graceful as before. I entered the palace late and was not blessed before, so I have never seen the Empress Dowager's true appearance. However, I heard that the Empress Dowager was outstanding when I was young, and no one can compare to her now."

Xu Jilin laughed twice and patted Cheng Jin's hand, "You are good at making me happy."

Cheng Jin said, "Everything I said is true."

"No wonder the emperor likes you, I want to like you now too." Xu Jilin's smile reached her eyes.

"It is my blessing to be favored by the Empress Dowager."

Cheng Jin talked with Xu Jilin in Shou'an Palace. When she was working as a social animal, she could flatter her boss and coax her colleagues. It was not difficult for her to make Xu Jilin happy.

However, according to the previous habit, Xu Jilin would let her go back after greeting her. Xu Jilin didn't like her before and was just going through the motions.

This time, she deliberately kept her for quite a while.

Could it be that because Chu Chengye doted on her, Xu Jilin also paid attention to her?

This was not a good sign.

Cheng Jin was a little tired of laughing, but she didn't know why Xu Jilin didn't let her go back.

Xu Jilin seemed to have noticed the change in Cheng Jin's expression. She waved slightly for Juxiang to come forward, with a look of impatience on her face.

"Go and see, why haven't you come yet?"

Who?

Cheng Jin was a little confused. Before she could ask, she heard the eunuch outside shouting loudly:

"Noble Hui is here!"

Noble Hui?

Wasn't she imprisoned?

When was she released?

Who meant it?

Cheng Jin looked at Xu Jilin beside her.

As expected, Xu Jilin nodded to Cheng Jin knowing everything.

Qu Wanxin had already entered the room. She was much more low-key than the last time Cheng Jin saw her. She bowed respectfully in the direction of Xu Jilin.

"May the Queen Mother be blessed with good health."

Xu Jilin nodded .

Qu Wanxin bowed in the direction of Cheng Jin again.

"May the Royal Concubine be blessed."

Qu Wanxin's words and actions were very different from before. Even when she looked at Cheng Jin, she did not have the same straightforward hatred as before. Instead, her face was calm and expressionless.

Cheng Jin screamed in her heart.

[It's over. It seems that the children are serious about the palace fight. What is the use of me as a cannon fodder?

Cheng Jin stood up subconsciously, "Please stand up quickly."

This excited action surprised several people present, as if Qu Wanxin, who was kneeling on the ground, was of higher status than her, and Cheng Jin could not bear this courtesy. Cheng

Jin slapped her lips in her heart.

[Why be so polite at this time?]

[I am a noble concubine now, isn't it normal for Qu Wanxin to bow to her?]

Cheng Jin noticed that everyone's eyes were focused on her, and immediately realized that her character was a bit broken.

She straightened her face and looked serious, "No need to be polite, Noble Hui, I only entered the palace a few days earlier than my sister, and we are sisters, so my sister doesn't need to bow."

Qu Wanxin snorted slightly, and secretly said, "Hypocritical."

Cheng Jin is now favored by Chu Chengye, and she is in the limelight.

What about her? When she first came here, she was framed by Cheng Jin and locked up in the palace for so long.

But Qu Wanxin has to thank Cheng Jin. If she hadn't given her so much time, she wouldn't have been able to figure out the affairs of this dynasty. She wouldn't be like a headless fly, bumping around and offending someone accidentally.

Now she knows who to rely on in her current situation.

She didn't know much about the affairs of this dynasty after she traveled here. She only knew some of the main figures recorded in history books.

Qu Wanxin knew that the fifth prince Chu Huaian finally ascended the throne. She also knew that her original body and Chu Huaian were childhood sweethearts and had a deep relationship, but Chu Chengye took over the world and separated them.

Now in this palace, Qu Wanxin can only rely on Chu Huaian and the queen mother. Only by relying on them can she turn things around.

Yesterday, when Qu Wanxin learned that Xu Jilin had left the palace to look for Chu Chengye for Chu Huaian, she immediately asked someone to deliver a letter to Xu Jilin.

Xu Jilin knew the relationship between the original body and Chu Huaian, and Chu Huaian had repeatedly told Xu Jilin to take good care of the original body, so Xu Jilin would naturally help her.

Only then did she get the right to leave the palace.

It was Cheng Jin who hurt her like this, and she actually pretended to be innocent.

Although Qu Wanxin was angry, she still remembered what Xu Jilin told her, that she should be patient and not be as reckless as before.

This Cheng Jin is now favored by the emperor, and it seems that her character has changed and she is not as stupid as before. She should indeed be more careful in her actions.

Xu Jilin gave Qu Wanxin a seat, and Qu Wanxin sat beside her without saying a word.

As if seeing Cheng Jin's confusion, Xu Jilin took the initiative to explain, "I guess you don't know about this. It was me who let Hui Guiren out."

"You don't have to think too much. I heard about it. It's not a big deal. Now Hui Guiren has been locked up for so long, it can be said that he has admitted his mistakes."

"The emperor has few concubines in the harem, and now that Concubine Hui is imprisoned, there is no one left in the palace."

Xu Jilin looked at Cheng Jin, "Although I didn't tell you about this in advance, I thought Concubine Rong was the most tolerant and generous, so she wouldn't have any objections, right?"

Cheng Jin shook her head.

How dare she have an opinion?

This clearly told Cheng Jin that Xu Jilin would be behind Qu Wanxin.

Cheng Jin knew why Xu Jilin did this today, he was talking to her and not letting her leave, and he also gave Cheng Jin gifts. It seemed that he wanted to get closer to Cheng Jin first, and then use things to shut Cheng Jin up so that she had nothing to say.

But Cheng Jin didn't think it was a big deal. The book said that Qu Wanxin relied on Xu Jilin to have many trysts with Chu Huaian in this palace. I think Xu Jilin has known about the relationship between Qu Wanxin and Chu Huaian for a long time.

What she said to Chu Chengye yesterday was just to deceive Chu Chengye and prevent him from being suspicious of Chu Huaian.

Cheng Jin curled her lips slightly.

The old ones are indeed witty.

She said before that the plot has changed a little because of her, but now it seems that the good show has not yet begun.

This noble lady Hui has left the palace, and Chu Huaian is going to Beijing again. They will definitely meet soon, and the plot will still follow her line at that time.

Cheng Jin smiled bitterly in her heart.

[After enduring for so long, I still have to die. ]

[After going around in circles, I am back to the starting point. 】

Now Cheng Jin is not as depressed as before. Anyway, she knows the plot, and the previous events have proved that she can change some of the plot.

Then who knows, maybe after her useless efforts, she can change her own ending.

This world does not belong only to the protagonist. Can't cannon fodder have a bright future of their own?
