After listening to my voice, the villain became addicted to the plot

Cheng Jin was counting the money and replied to Chu Chengye casually.

"They are all working in Chunhe Palace. They are here to get lucky during the Chinese New Year."

Chu Chengye took out another identical red envelope from nowhere and handed it to Cheng Jin.

"Well, good things come in pairs."

Cheng Jin hesitated for only a second before taking back the red envelope. She hugged Chu Chengye's arm and rubbed it, praising Chu Chengye exaggeratedly.

"Your Majesty, you are too kind."

[A man that no girl can refuse will stuff money into your hand without any problem. 】

Chu Chengye smiled and pushed Cheng Jin's head.

Cuizhu knew that Chu Chengye slept here last night, and when it was time to wake Cheng Jin up in the morning, she didn't dare to come in rashly. She called Cheng Jin loudly outside the door:

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, it's time to get up. Don't miss the time to pay your respects to the Queen Mother."

Cheng Jincai suddenly realized that this matter was really important. She pushed Chu Chengye away and got out of bed to let Cuizhu dress herself up.

Cuizhu talks to Cheng Jin.

"The red envelopes arranged by your Majesty last night have been prepared and are waiting for your Majesty to distribute them to them."

Cheng Jin nodded, "I'll give it to them when I come back later."

Cuizhu hesitated for a while and finally asked.

"Is Jing'er still ready?"

Cheng Jin sighed and nodded, "Jing'er is also a member of our palace now, so she must give it."

Cheng Jin seemed to have thought of something.

"But I want to give Jing'er's money to her alone."

Cuizhu responded and said no more.

When Chu Chengye heard Cuizhu and Cheng Jin discussing Jing'er, he got out of bed, walked to Cheng Jin and asked, "Who is Jing'er?"

Cheng Jin raised his head and glanced at Chu Chengye, and explained: "She is a palace maid specially chosen for me by the Queen Mother, but her temper is a bit weird."

Cheng Jin fooled Chu Chengye.

This Jing'er was originally prepared by Xu Jilin for Chu Chengye.

But it is also strange. Chu Chengye has been to Cheng Jin Palace for a long time, and Jing'er is doing things outside the door. Chu Chengye must also pay attention, but today is indeed the first time that Chu Chengye mentioned Jing'er.

If Chu Chengye comes more often, Jing'er will definitely have the opportunity to pretend to fall and pretend to be weak in front of Chu Chengye. This method will definitely work in front of Chu Chengye and impress Chu Chengye.

After all, Qu Wanxin relied on this move to defeat Chu Chengye in the original book.

Even if Chu Chengye had no other ideas, he would definitely remember this person and ask Cheng Jin again when he got into the room.

But Jing'er has been to Chunhe Palace for so long, not even once.

Although Cheng Jin didn't know whether Jing'er had passed on the news to Xu Jilin, it didn't seem like Xu Jilin's plan failed in front of Cheng Jin.

Cheng Jin couldn't figure out how Jing'er dealt with her and Xu Jilin.

Chu Chengye didn't pay much attention to Jing'er, so he went with Cheng Jin to Xu Jilin's place to say hello.

There were not many heirs of the late emperor in the capital. The only ones who came were Chu Chengye, Chu Huai'an, and Chu Zhurui, and the only concubines in the harem were Qu Wanxin and Cheng Jin.

They stood in Shou'an Palace in unison to salute Xu Jilin and say hello.

Xu Jilin's plan failed yesterday, and she couldn't think of any ideas for the time being.

I also heard that after yesterday's incident, the relationship between Chu Chengye and Cheng Jin got better. After the banquet, Chu Chengye went directly to Cheng Jin's Chunhe Palace to stay, and they came together again today.

The things they did yesterday seemed to be the catalyst for the relationship between Chu Chengye and Cheng Jin. Thinking of this, Xu Jilin couldn't cheer up.

She rubbed her head and said with a smile on her face: "You are all concerned, but Aijia is old and always feels uncomfortable. You can go home after paying your respects. Aijia wants to rest by herself. "

Everyone left one after another.

Chu Huaian and Qu Wanxin came back at the same time after going out.

Qu Wanxin has nothing to say to Chu Huai'an now. Her only thought now is how to capture Chu Chengye.

Qu Wan thought clearly, as long as she could become the most noble queen in the world, it didn't matter who was the emperor.

Ever since the last time Chu Huaian met her and asked her to compete for favor, Qu Wanxin had seen Chu Huaian clearly.

Although Chu Huaian explained in every possible way that what he was doing was a last resort and that he would not care no matter what happened to Qu Wanxin, Chu Huaian promised that as long as he ascended the throne, the throne would only belong to Qu Wanxin.

A man's mouth is deceptive, Qu Wanxin understands this truth.

Chu Huai'an is talking lightly now, but if that day comes, how could Chu Huai'an really want a concubine in the harem to sit in the back seat? It's just to persuade her to sacrifice herself to stabilize her.

However, Qu Wanxin did not refuse. Since she didn't know who would sit on the throne for a long time, she might as well leave room for both sides.

In this way, no matter who is Chu Chengye or Chu Huai'an, she will have room to take a step back.

She is not a fool and will not put all of herself in one person.

When Qu Wanxin saw that the person in front of her was Chu Huaian, she bowed her head and smiled shyly at Chu Huaian.

"The fifth prince didn't leave the palace immediately because he must have had the same thing in mind."

Chu Huaian stepped forward and pulled Qu Wanxin to the corner. Looking at the person in front of him, Chu Huaian could no longer control himself and touched Qu Wanxin's arm, imprisoning her in front of him.

Chu Huaian said softly, "You don't know how happy I am that things didn't work out."

"I have been thinking since I left yesterday, why am I struggling with all this? I originally wanted to compete with Chu Chengye for the throne just to save you from this palace, but now, I actually want you to take the initiative to compete for favor."

"This is not what I want. What I want is just you."

Chu Huaian's words were sincere, and Qu Wanxin frowned sadly and said, "Your Majesty, I know, I know everything you said, and now we are just meat on the chopping board to be slaughtered by others, and we can't help it."

Qu Wanxin stared at Chu Huai'an with tears in her eyes, "I am willing to do this for the prince."

After Qu Wanxin finished speaking, large tears fell down her cheeks, hitting Chu Huaian's heart like a heavy object.

Chu Huaian felt like there was a lump in his throat and could not say anything.

He only resented the unfair fate, why did he want to break up the pair of fateful mandarin ducks.

Qu Wan also felt uncomfortable, why did her position as queen come so slowly.

She could no longer live a life like this where she needed to be careful everywhere.

They went in and saw Xu Jilin, who was sitting on a chair, seemingly waiting for them to come.

Xu Jilin raised her eyes and looked at Chu Huaian and Qu Wanxin who came in together, sighed and said, "You have also seen that after our trouble yesterday, the relationship between the Emperor and Concubine Rong has become even more inseparable."

Qu Wanxin said: "Then does the Queen Mother have any good ideas?"

Xu Jilin sat up straight and cast a deep look in Qu Wanxin's direction. Xu Jilin said: "There are many ways to fight for favor in this palace. Some are popular and some are shady. What you did yesterday can be put on the table. Of course, there are also shady ones, and it is the most effective."

Although Xu Jilin didn't explain it clearly, both Qu Wanxin and Chu Huaian understood it immediately.

That's drugging.

Since Chu Chengye doesn't wake up when he is conscious, we can only take advantage of Chu Chengye's confusion and unable to control himself.

It doesn't matter at all whether Chu Chengye really does something to Qu Wanxin. As long as the two of them lie on the same bed, even if the gods come, Chu Chengye can only accept it.

Cheng Jin's temperament can't tolerate a grain of salt in his eyes. Cheng Jin will definitely make a big fuss. No matter how good their relationship is, there will still be discord between the two of them. This will give Qu Wanxin the opportunity to take action.

Xu Jilin looked at Qu Wan and said heartily: "Then it depends on whether you are willing or not."

Qu Wanxin deliberately glanced at Chu Huai'an, making it look like her decision was all for Chu Huai'an.

Chu Huai'an couldn't bear it, but now, there really was no other way

Chu Chengye now has Cheng Yishou in the outer court, and everything he does inside and outside is impeccable. If he wants to break through, he must start with Cheng Jin and Chu Chengye.

Qu Wanxin nodded, "I will die for the sake of the prince."

Xu Jilin stared at Qu Wanxin and Chu Huai'an, remained silent for a long time, and then laughed inexplicably.

She waved her hand to let Chu Huai'an leave the palace first. She and Qu Wanxin could only talk about this matter alone.

Chu Huaian hesitated to speak, but listened to Xu Jilin's words and left first.

After waiting for Chu Huaian, she asked Ju Xiang to get something. When Ju Xiang came back, Ju Xiang handed an exquisite medicine bottle to Xu Jilin's hand.

Xu Jilin waved Qu Wanxin over, "There is only one bottle of this medicine in the world. It is colorless and odorless. Even if you take this medicine, you will not think that you have been drugged. You will only feel that your desire is stronger. If you are discovered, you will not be drugged." Find out.”

Qu Wanxin looked at the medicine bottle in front of her and felt a sense of joy. This thing would definitely solve the current dead situation.

Qu Wanxin took it in her hands, but she still felt a little doubtful, "Although this thing is good, now I can't get in touch with the emperor, and Concubine Rong is also wary of me, so there is no chance of drugging me."

Xu Jilin smiled and said: "Who said you have to administer the medicine yourself? Wouldn't that be too stupid? Have you forgotten that there are still some of our people in Chunhe Palace?"

Cheng Jin was a little surprised and reacted immediately.

"Jing'er?"

Xu Jilin nodded and said: "Jing'er will deliver letters from the corner of Chunhe Palace every few days. Concubine Rong's every move is recorded clearly."

Qu Wanxin wondered: "That Jing'er was put in by the Queen Mother, and Concubine Rong is so thoughtful, how could she be used? Besides, how did she get in touch with the Emperor?"

Xu Jilin said: "Jing'er's face is her ability."

"The Ai family knows that the emperor looks very shrewd as he gallops through the battlefield, plots rebellions and rises to power, and makes every step of the way. In fact, he has the simplest mind, and his emotions and anger are all displayed on his face."

"How could such an emperor distrust a Jing'er who looks more or less like Concubine Rong?"

Qu Wanxin nodded thoughtfully.

Xu Jilin ordered: "The Ai family will find a suitable time in the next few days to tell Jing'er what to do. You just need to prepare a suitable excuse."

After listening to Xu Jilin's arrangements, Qu Wanxin withdrew from Shou'an Palace.

Not long after Cheng Jin returned to Chunhe Palace, he called all the eunuchs and maids in the palace together.

In this palace, it is customary for the master to give red envelopes to servants on the first day of the new year. Naturally, they all know what Cheng Jin is doing by calling them together.

They all had joy on their faces, waiting to give them red envelopes.

Cheng Jin didn't delay any longer and gave the red envelopes to them one by one.

Although Cheng Jin couldn't get enough, he was very generous to the maids and eunuchs in the palace. He received ten taels of silver per day, which was more than the most senior among them.

Cheng Jin was not taken advantage of. He was just looking for a happy occasion, so the money could be considered as bribery.

Most of the people in Cheng Jin's palace were sensible not because they were obedient, but because Cheng Jin was generous to them. In addition to the monthly fixed monthly silver, Jin would also give them a special sum of money on every festival.

If you have enough money, your heart will be loyal.

After the eunuchs and maids took the money, they were all happy, and they said a lot of auspicious words to Cheng Jin to please her. After that, they dispersed and went about their own things.

Cheng Jin looked at the extra bag of money in his hand and found that Jing'er was not here.

A palace maid saw Cheng Jin's searching eyes and asked Cheng Jin discerningly: "Your Majesty, are you looking for Jing'er?"

Cheng Jin nodded.

"Everyone is here, where has she gone?"

The palace maid replied: "My queen, please leave her alone. She is weird. Even if she doesn't want to talk to us on weekdays, she always does inexplicable things secretly."

"Today, the queen asked everyone to come, but she said she was sick. Obviously, the servant saw her well yesterday. She probably wanted to avoid us from doing those sneaky things."

Hearing what the palace maid said, Cheng Jin gave Cuizhu a look. Cheng Jin said to the little palace maid, "Well, I think that girl Jing'er is quite smart. She must be really sick that's why she didn't come. I’ll go take a look.”

The palace maid tried to dissuade her: "If she is really sick, I'd better not go there to avoid getting it on you."

Cheng Jin smiled and said: "Nothing, it just so happens that I have some things to arrange for her."

When the maid saw that Cheng Jin was determined to find Jing'er, she didn't say anything and took the initiative to lead Cheng Jin the way.

Before entering the room, coughing sounds could be heard continuously in the room.

The palace maid covered her mouth and nose in disgust, and then advised Cheng Jin, "Your Majesty, it's better not to go in."

Cheng Jin looked at the figure in the room and whispered: "It seems that he is really sick. Please open the door."

The palace maid didn't know what to say, so she opened the door and let Cheng Jin in.

Cheng Jin walked into the room and saw Jing'er hearing someone coming in. She sat up on the bed nervously and looked towards the door with a defensive look.

"Who?"

The palace maid was the first to answer for Cheng Jin: "The imperial concubine has come to see you, why don't you come down and bow?"

Jing'er saw Cheng Jin's face full of doubts, but still listened to the maid's words and wanted to get up and salute Cheng Jin.

Cheng Jin quickly stepped forward and said, "You are sick, so there is no need to get up."

Cheng Jin looked at the little palace maid next to him again, gave her some extra money, and paid her out.

"You go out to do things first. I and Cuizhu can stay here."

The little palace maid naturally responded favorably after getting the money.

"Since the empress has Sister Cuizhu here, I will go out first."

When he went out, he thoughtfully closed the door for Cheng Jin.

Jing'er felt confused when she saw Cheng Jin's eager look, and she subconsciously shrank her body on the bed.

"Your Majesty's visit to the slave in person is not just because the slave is sick."
