Chapter 99 Why should I be jealous

of you? Cheng Jin noticed it immediately with her sharp eyes and sneered, "I asked you this question. Look at what the Queen Mother did. Although the Queen Mother is kind, she is also fair and will not let you wrongly accuse me."

Cheng Jin said to Xu Jilin, "Queen Mother, is it okay for me to ask him these questions?" After

Cheng Jin said this, Xu Jilin could not say no and could only nod.

Without Xu Jilin's protection, the guard had to answer Cheng Jin's questioning step by step, so he could only roll his eyes and say nonsense:

"Your Majesty is of noble status, so naturally she won't give me any token of loyalty."

Cheng Jin nodded without retorting, "You are right, you don't deserve it."

The guard paused for a moment and continued, "Your Majesty saw me a few days ago, but I was so scared that

I lost my mind and don't remember it clearly." Cheng Jin said, "You can't do that. No one will believe you. Think about it carefully and explain it more clearly."

The guard: "..."

Although the guard didn't know what Cheng Jin was going to do, he thought about it seriously and said, "It was three days ago. Three days ago, Rong Guifei found me outside the gate of Chonghua Palace and said these words to me."

Cheng Jin retorted, "That's not right. I haven't been there. Chonghua Palace."

The guard broke into a sweat, "I remembered it wrong, that's Chunhe Palace, outside the door of the queen's bedroom."

Cheng Jin smiled and said, "You remembered it wrong again. Three days ago, I was in Jingyang Palace accompanying the emperor. How could I have the time to conspire with you?"

The guard knelt with his head down, and beads of sweat fell to the ground, "That's...that's..."

Cheng Jin interrupted him and said, "Since you said it is, then it must be."

Cheng Jin turned and looked at Xu Jilin, "Then I must have remembered it wrong. Why don't you invite the emperor to come and let him think about it for me. If it is really as he said, then I am willing to plead guilty and clear the name of Hui Guiren."

After hearing what Cheng Jin said, Xu Jilin's breathing became heavier and her face became colder.

Xu Jilin originally wanted to let Cheng Jin struggle to the death, and Cheng Jin had been asking her for so long that she was playing a trick on her.

She had long known the omissions in this, and knew that Xu Jilin was unwilling to let Cheng Jin go to the Dali Temple for questioning because of the royal considerations. If she made trouble in front of Chu Chengye, she would have no excuse.

Xu Jilin clenched her fists and was silent for a long time before she uttered a sentence, "The emperor is busy with government affairs. Since it is a misunderstanding, there is no need to bring this matter to the emperor and make him unhappy."

Qu Wanxin was a little anxious after hearing Xu Jilin's intention to let Cheng Jin go. She questioned Cheng Jin:

"Noble Concubine Rong, you are so unreasonable. Are you guilty? You ordered it, and it won't change even if you bring it to the emperor."

Cheng Jin smiled calmly, "As Noble Hui said, I will not deny what I did. I am not unreasonable, but just asking some normal questions out of common sense."

"In fact, I have been to Chonghua Palace. The emperor did not summon me to serve three days ago. I just lied to him a few words, and he immediately lost his footing and changed his words."

"It can be seen that what he said about seeing me is not true. What do I have to feel guilty about? Even if he makes trouble in front of the emperor, I am not afraid. Even if he really ordered someone to do this, I will be anxious."

Qu Wanxin heard Cheng Jin's words so sincerely, and her heart was touched. She couldn't help but believe Cheng Jin a little, but when this thought came out, she was suddenly suppressed by a force from somewhere in her body.

It seemed that she had no other choice except to oppose Cheng Jin and not trust Cheng Jin.

Qu Wanxin was forced to say fiercely: "It's not you, who else would treat me like this? You targeted me when I just entered the palace, and you were jealous that I was brought into the palace by the emperor himself."

Cheng Jin smiled with a proud attitude: "What you said was before, what else should I be jealous of you for now?"

Qu Wanxin couldn't say anything else, but she was still unwilling to admit defeat.

Xu Jilin saw that the two people had been deadlocked like this, and Cheng Jin's confident attitude made it hard to tell Qu Wanxin about what happened today.

Cheng Jin didn't fall, but Qu Wanxin, who she could use as a chess piece, also had a different mind towards her. If she didn't use it for her, then it would be a loss.

Now it is necessary to stop the loss in time, and not let Cheng Jin really make trouble in front of Chu Chengye.

Xu Jilin nodded calmly, as if she were an outsider. "Okay, you don't have to argue anymore."

"Although I'm older, I'm not old, nor am I confused. I heard it clearly."

"Rong Guifei only asked a few simple questions, but this servant couldn't even answer them. This shows that this servant was not ordered by Rong Guifei at all, and he has never met Rong Guifei. I'm afraid there is someone else behind this."

Cheng Jin bowed to Xu Jilin, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for clearing my name."

Qu Wanxin looked incredulous, "Are you just letting Rong Guifei off like this? What about the humiliation and grievance I have suffered? Is it all what I deserve?"

Xu Jilin comforted her, "I know, I will investigate the matter, but this has nothing to do with Rong Guifei."

"Why not!"

Qu Wanxin shouted, "The guards have clearly said that it was Concubine Rong who ordered it. Why didn't the Queen Mother punish Concubine Rong, but let Concubine Rong ask all sorts of questions. She is good at making excuses. Who can beat her? Can't you just say that Concubine Rong is innocent?"

"Please Queen Mother, please make the decision for me. You can't just let Concubine Rong go."

Xu Jilin was so angry when she saw Qu Wanxin's violation in front of her that she grabbed the armrest of the chair tightly.

Cheng Jin also spoke for Qu Wanxin, "Yes, Queen Mother, you really have to make the decision for Concubine Hui, or ask the emperor to come."

Qu Wanxin glared at Cheng Jin fiercely.

Xu Jilin was so angry when she heard Cheng Jin mentioned Chu Chengye again. If Chu Chengye came, wouldn't Chu Chengye know everything she had done?

This was absolutely not possible.

Chu Chengye was not close to her in the first place. If she was alienated from them because of this matter, how could she speak for Chu Huaian in front of Chu Chengye?

Thinking of this, Xu Jilin raised her hand and slapped Qu Wanxin.

"What do you want? Don't you think it's embarrassing enough now? Now the fact that you secretly met with your lover here is a hot topic in the harem. Don't you think I'm ashamed for you?"

"I said I would find out for you, and I will."

"You are making so much noise in the palace. I'm afraid you haven't learned the rules when you were locked up in the palace a few days ago. It's better to lock you up for another month and learn it well."

Qu Wanxin's face was burning with pain. She was more shocked than Xu Jilin slapping her in the face that Xu Jilin actually helped Cheng Jin.
