Chi Jin smiled as stiffly as he could. Seeing Lin Yongquan walking in with a group of people, he quickly lowered his head with an ugly expression but said excitedly, "Thank you, Manager Lin, I'm going to wash up right now." ,aestivation."

"Oh." Xia Mian took out a few purses containing broken silver from his sleeve with a wink, and distributed them to several father-in-laws.

When Chi Jin entered the inner hall, someone immediately brought hot water in. Xia Mian had someone entertain some father-in-laws, and then he endured his anxiety and followed into the inner hall.

After entering, he waved away the others.

Chi Jin didn't really have the intention to take a bath, so he picked out a high-necked dress and changed into it. After checking that his Adam's apple was completely covered, he wet his hair with water and finished.

He clenched his fists and sat on the wooden pier, his heart was pounding, and he said with a headache, "Xia Mian, what do you think?" Let him sleep?What exactly went wrong?

Xia Mian also had no idea, received such news unexpectedly, the little girl was so anxious that her eyes were red and she shook her head, seeing the bed beside her, her eyes lit up and said: "Why don't you run away, master, I will stay here to delay you!"

"No!" Chi Jin refused without even thinking about it, "If I leave, you will definitely not live, not only you, but everyone in Jinyi Palace will die, and you must not leave before the plan begins."

"Then what should I do!" Xia Mian's tears came down as she spoke, her heart was filled with panic and emotion, moreover she was overwhelmed and worried.

Her life is fine, but the master's life is precious, not to mention there is a baby in the master's stomach, if it is discovered... Xia Mian was terrified by his own thoughts and trembled all over.

Chi Jin took a brocade handkerchief to wipe away his tears, patted Xia Mian on the back comfortingly and said, "Don't panic, you'll be fine, it's just sleeping, I just need to push it away."

Xia Mian remembered that she would add trouble to her master by doing this, so she quickly touched her face with her hands a few times, and said in a trembling voice: "If you push it away, then you don't need to go."

Chi Jin didn't say anything, but thought for a while and said in a deep voice, "No."

He always thought that the emperor didn't have that kind of thought. Even if he was summoned to bed now, Chi Jin still believed in his intuition. He was living in Jinyi Palace these days, and logically it was not his turn, so he made a bold guess Sleeping in is just a pretense.

If this is the case, this trip tonight must be done. Whether it is a good thing or a bad thing, you have to know it before you can feel at ease.

If it is really just to let him go to sleep, then it will not be too late to shirk after going to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

But guesses are just guesses after all, and he must prepare for the worst.

"Xia Mian, is there any cinnabar? Anything that is red is fine!" Chi Jin's eyes lit up with a flash of inspiration. He is now a woman. When can women not serve the bed?Of course it's time to come to Kuisui!

If he didn't really go to bed tonight as he wished, then the reason for the sunflower water can be moved to the first or fifteenth day of the new year. If Yan Zhuangze really came tonight, then the reason can only be used today.

Seeing that Chi Jin had an idea, Xia Mian hurriedly went to the dressing table to look for it: "There doesn't seem to be any cinnabar, but is this crimson lip balm okay?" She rummaged through and found a small delicate box and handed it over.

Chi Jin opened the lid and saw that the crimson color looked like blood, and said happily, "Yes!" After speaking, he gouged out a big lump in his hand, turned his back to Xia Mian, opened the hem of his clothes, and wiped it on the snow-white fur trousers.

Afraid that the color would not be obvious, he directly used this box of lip balm, not only the fur trousers inside, worried that Yan Zhuangze would not believe him, he also touched some on the outer skirt, but it didn't look obvious, look After it really looked like that, he nodded in satisfaction.

Xia Mian worried: "Is this all right?"

Chi Jin checked again, and said, "That's it, no problem, just adapt to the situation."

Xia Mian was still a little worried, and circled around Chi Jin several times, restless but helpless, watching Chi Jin apply makeup on his eyebrows, making the contours of his face softer, and an indifferent but indifferent temperament slowly appeared on the dim bronze mirror. A classic beauty.

After making all the preparations, Chi Jin and Xia Mian took two deep breaths, suppressed the redundant expressions on their faces, and walked out with the posture of a concubine and a court lady.

Seeing that Chi Jin was getting ready, Lin Yongquan quickly put down his teacup and said with a beaming face, "Congratulations, Empress Jin, then let's go."

Chi Jin proudly raised his head, and walked forward with his non-existent chest: "Boss Lin, you are welcome, let's go."

At the same time, unsettling scenes were also taking place in the palaces of other concubines.

For example, Concubine Xian.

At this time, she was in her own inner hall, and when she heard the news from the maid, she looked grim, and asked loudly in disbelief: "You said that the emperor asked Concubine Jin to attend the bed?"

Sensing the master's fury, the maid trembled and said, "Yes, this servant was near Jinyi Palace at that time, and I heard what Director Lin said."

Concubine Xian gritted a mouthful of silver teeth, pinching the teacup in her hand as if she wanted to crush it, her teeth were about to crack, and after a while, she squeezed out two words from between her teeth: "Bitch|people!"

She tried her best these days, giving soup and meeting by chance, but in the end she was no match for Chi Jin, who had been staying in Jinyi Palace all this time. This was worse than the unwillingness in her heart.

And this scene was also staged in other palaces. Just because of a notification, Chi Jin almost filled up the hatred value of the harem.

As for these things, Chi Jin hadn't had time to think about them. At this moment, he was taking Xia Mian and other maids, and followed Manager Lin to the Hall of Mental Cultivation. He pretended to be uneasy and excited, as if he really longed for the emperor's mercy. concubine.

Lin Yongquan didn't doubt him, he was very happy at this moment, since the death of the first emperor, he hadn't seen the bustling harem for a long time.

All the way into the Hall of Mental Cultivation without hindrance, Yan Zhuangze, who was waiting for Chi Jin to talk, knew nothing about Lin Yongquan's report of the mistake, and was still thinking about how to get out of it for a while.

Lin Yongquan: "Your Majesty, Concubine Jin has arrived."

Chi Jin lowered his eyebrows and pleasing his eyes, squeezed his voice and said softly: "The concubine sees the emperor." He bent down gently and lowered his head, no one saw the way he grinned after he said that sentence.

Did this voice really come from him?Goosebumps are up.

Yan Zhuangze obviously didn't feel anything about it, and said coldly: "Get up, you all go down."

The second half of the sentence was addressed to Lin Yongquan and others. Xia Mian quietly looked at Chi Jin, her eyes full of worry.

When there were only the two of them left in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Yan Zhuangze stood up, walked to the dining table and gestured with his hand: "Sit down, do you know why I came here for you?"

Chi Jin nodded, and then shook his head. A pair of moist cat pupils just looked at Yan Zhuangze like that, fragile like a frightened kitten, with anxiety and anticipation of being called for the first time.

Those bright black eyes looked over steadily, and there was only Yan Zhuangze inside. The inexplicable Yan Zhuangze's heart softened, and he stopped scaring Chi Jin, and said bluntly: "I want to make a deal with you , do you want to leave the palace?"

Hearing the word transaction, Chi Jin secretly said in his heart that it was true, but his inner vigilance was still unrelenting. He took the initiative to ignore the first half of the sentence, and pretended to reply affectionately: "Why would the concubine want to leave the palace? The concubine just wants to be with you forever." Look at the emperor, does the emperor not want concubines?"

As he said that, a layer of mist covered his black eyes, and Yan Zhuangze couldn't bear it inexplicably, but the plan could not be broken, so he turned his head and said in a cold voice unmoved: "You are a smart woman, I am very happy." Appreciate, you know what I'm talking about."

Chi Jin was still so pitiful that he wanted to cry or not: "The concubine doesn't know what the emperor said, why did you say that?"

Looking at his superb acting skills at this time, and thinking about the expression in his eyes at the flower viewing banquet a few days ago, Yan Zhuangze smiled: "Really? Your eyes on the day of the flower viewing banquet That's not what it said."

Chi Jin froze, bowed his head and sobbed silently.

Yan Zhuangze continued: "Concubine Jin, the only daughter of the Chi family is named Chi Jin. After entering the palace, she lived in the Jinyi Palace and never participated in the battles in the harem. I also witnessed the flower viewing feast with my own eyes that day. Concubine Jin's eyes Li doesn't have the current admiration, why did he suddenly have it? You said you want to be with me forever?"

Chi Jin was startled, and didn't know how to answer. Seeing the emperor's posture, he believed that he didn't take the emperor's favor to heart, and it was very likely that he had investigated him in private.

It seems that he underestimated the emperor too much, and even disrupted his plan without making a sound. During these critical three months... Chi Jin subconsciously put his hand on his stomach, which was a defensive gesture.

Seeing that Chi Jin didn't speak, Yan Zhuangze was even more convinced that he had hit the mark. After the blow, he had to give a sweet date. He smiled and said with a certain chance of winning: "Only you make a deal with me. After the situation stabilizes, whether you are If you want to leave the palace, or spend your old age in the palace, I can agree."

After finishing speaking, he stopped talking and waited quietly for Chi Jin to make a decision.

Chi Jin wiped his tears with a small brocade handkerchief, and at the same time, the brocade handkerchief was rubbed into a pickle-like shape. Now Yan Zhuangze gave him two ways, one is to agree to cooperate, and the other is to continue to play dumb.

After agreeing to cooperate, it is not known whether they really intend to cooperate or it is a trap.

But one thing is for sure, playing stupid won't work, no matter whether Yan Zhuangze is following him because of the harem or because of the Chi family, the end result is that he was noticed by the emperor.

Even if he pretended to be stupid and got past today's incident, it would be even more difficult to escape in the future.

That being the case...

Chi Jin gritted his teeth and decided to take the risk. If he succeeds, it would relax Yan Zhuangze's vigilance and help him escape. Secondly, this is also a good time to surrender. Isn't he trying to collect evidence to surrender one day?

As for what Yan Zhuangze said about letting him out of the palace after the situation stabilized?When the situation stabilizes, his identity as a traitor spy will definitely be exposed, and there is also the man's fraudulent marriage, and maybe he will get involved with the child in his stomach and Zhuang Nian.

Chi Jinxu's hand on his stomach tightened slightly. He couldn't wait for Yan Zhuangze to let him out. He could only run out before everything was exposed. The original escape plan remained unchanged.

After making a decision in his heart, he no longer pretended to be affectionate, reached out and wiped away the fake tears on his face, raised his head and smiled and said, "It turns out that the emperor knows so much about his concubines, what kind of deal is that?"

Seeing his face-changing performance, Yan Zhuangze didn't feel angry in his heart. Instead, he felt that his eyes became more pleasing after being cautious, although they were still not worth one ten-thousandth of Jing Chi's.

He said: "You are my shield, pretending to be favored by the emperor, and you come to help me block those women in the harem. Besides, you are the only Yan people in the harem. If I love you, I believe those ministers will not say much." , besides..."

Chi Jin raised his eyebrows and asked silently.

Yan Zhuangze smiled and said, "Besides, everyone now knows that Concubine Jin is favored by His Majesty, and she enters the Hall of Mental Cultivation to share dinner. Do you think you have a way out?"

Chi Jin clicked his tongue in his heart. It turned out that when he stepped into the gate of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he was already in the middle of the game. He showed his weakness at the right time and said: "My concubine dare not, so I will ask the emperor to protect me from now on."

Yan Zhuangze: "Of course."

Chi Jin understood. It seemed that the emperor was frightened by the enthusiasm of those women a while ago. If he wanted to find a shield, it would also explain why he chose him who lived in seclusion.

If you find another one who is interested in the emperor, then it is not a shield, but asking for trouble.

Since the emperor trusted him so much, Chi Jin didn't mind reassuring him, and said, "I can accept this deal, but your majesty, please remember to send your concubines out of the palace in the future. I want to live a peaceful and ordinary life."

Yan Zhuangze nodded: "Yes."

Chi Jin said bitterly: "The concubine was brought up at home since she was a child, and her every move was guarded by someone. Later, after being sent to the palace by her family, she lived an unruly life in Jinyi Palace, so the concubine I am more and more eager to live a free life, and today, fortunately, the emperor has taken a fancy to him, and Chi Jin will be loyal to the emperor through thick and thin."

With longing and sincerity in his eyes, he tried hard to portray himself as a poor little boy who longed for freedom and didn't want to take care of things. At this time, he could only rely on the emperor. two".

After hearing this, Yan Zhuangze took a deep look at him, revealed an unpredictable smile and said, "I will keep my promise, and I only hope that Concubine Jin can also be a smart person."

Are you smart?Chi Jin curled his lips into a smile. As expected of the King of Yan, he immediately understood what he said: There is a problem with the Chi family, but I have no intention of participating, and I wholeheartedly surrender.

Chi Jin smiled and said: "The concubine will thank the emperor."

After the conversation, both of them relaxed a little. Yan Zhuangze looked at Chi Jin steadily at this time, and felt that this person was really interesting. He was weak and helpless just now. Now that he had spoken, his eyes were full of cunning and confidence .

This is very similar to Jing Chi, Jing Chi is also so cheerful and clever, but still lacks Jing Chi's free and easy, let alone Jing Chi's bright and sincere smile, as expected, there is no comparison between people.

And Chi Jin still has one thing to worry about, he tentatively asked: "Your Majesty, since I'm just your shield, can you avoid the matter of serving the bed?"

Yan Zhuangze paused for a moment while picking up the teacup, and asked, "A bedside servant? What is a bedside servant?"

Chi Jin was also stunned. Seeing that Yan Zhuangze's expression didn't seem to be fake, he asked suspiciously, "Didn't you send me to serve the bed?"

Yan Zhuangze put down his teacup, and immediately retorted: "I didn't send you to attend the bed, I asked Lin Yongquan to invite you to have dinner together."

Chi Jin: "..." Looking at Yan Zhuangze resentfully, he felt a little sticky touch on the fur trousers, and he couldn't tell what it was because of mixed feelings in his heart.

angry?Does he dare?dare not!

Yan Zhuangze smiled and said: "Maybe it's a misunderstanding, don't worry, I'm not interested in you."

After thinking for a while, he added: "It won't happen in the future."

It was only now that Chi Jin's heart was only relaxed, and he successfully solved a serious problem in his heart. It seems that the trip to the Hall of Mental Cultivation is still very beneficial.

At this moment, Lin Yongquan said outside the hall: "Your Majesty, dinner is here."

Yan Zhuangze put away the smile on his face, and said in a deep voice, "Come in."

A long line of court ladies and eunuchs, each holding a delicate and beautiful plate covered with a ceramic cover to avoid dust on the road, a group of people filed in.

Watching them come in with dinner, Chi Jin vaguely felt that he seemed to have forgotten something, but he couldn't remember it.

Lin Yongquan, who was walking at the front, saw the concubine Jin who was sitting side by side with the emperor and getting along harmoniously, his face was wrinkled with a smile, and he happily directed the setting of the meal.

Yan Zhuangze glanced at him coolly, his face was black and he said nothing, Lin Yongquan was flustered, he couldn't help but reflect on what he did wrong today, but he didn't seem to do anything?

The crucian carp tofu soup ordered for Concubine Jin was placed in front of Chi Jin, followed by other fish, shrimp and meat, filling a large table.

After everything is ready, the maids will lift the lid, crucian carp tofu soup, sweet and sour carp, crystal elbow, braised lion head, braised prawns, Ruyi double chicken, black chicken soup with red dates and wolfberries...

At the same time, a big smell of oil came over his face, and Chi Jin also remembered what he forgot. He forgot that he couldn't smell the smell of oil!

A strong sense of nausea immediately surged out, and Chi Jin's face changed immediately. After sitting for a second, he couldn't help it anymore, and staggered out the door covering his mouth.

Holding the door frame with one hand and bending over: "Ugh!"

Yan Zhuangze was the fastest one to react. After seeing Chi Jin's face change and running out, he hurriedly followed him, wanting to see how Chi Jin was doing.

Suddenly he saw a patch of red on Chi Jin's skirt, who was bending over with his back facing him, and suddenly his pupils shrank and he shouted to Lin Yongquan, "Quickly tell the imperial physician!"

Lin Yongquan quickly took orders: "Hey!"

For a while, the Hall of Mental Cultivation was in turmoil. When he heard that the imperial physician was going to be passed on, Chi Jin's face turned paler, and he stopped vomiting. He quickly stood up and stopped and said, "No! No need to pass on the imperial physician. I just feel uncomfortable smelling the stewed oil!"

Yan Zhuangze gave Lin Yongquan a look, and Manager Lin immediately ran out to look for the imperial physician with someone. The rapid movement made Chi Jin's eyes dizzy. It's okay to say that the imperial physician is really terrible!

He tried his best to resist the nausea, and sincerely raised a smile and said: "Your Majesty, my concubine is really fine, you see I don't vomit now!"

Yan Zhuangze frowned fiercely, and said in disapproval: "Your back is bleeding, and you still say it's not serious, and the imperial doctor will be here soon." After finishing speaking, he didn't even look at Chi Jin, and he was self-depressed. He remembered that Jing Chi was the same Don't spare yourself.

They were like this when they were in school. They caught cold at night and ran around the next day, and they kept saying that it was okay. When their friends were sick, he also secretly went to take care of them. He endured everything alone, which made people feel distressed and angry. .

Yan Zhuangze sighed in his heart. After calming down, he looked at Chi Jin. Seeing that his face was pale and in a daze, he comforted him, "Don't worry, the imperial doctor will be here soon."

Chi Jin's face turned pale again. What he was worried about was not some back bleeding, and he didn't know why his back was bleeding. What he was worried about was the imperial doctor!
