"You know I've had the same experience as you, how could I still be so stupid? You believe me, right?"
Chu Jiaoli turned around and walked to the table, picked up the wordless note and studied it for a long time.
Seeing her pick up the paper, Hua Yuejin immediately explained: "When Xiang Yinli gave it to me, there were really words on it! Even if I really wanted to put the blame on him, how could I do such a stupid thing!"
Chu Jiaoli frowned slightly and looked at the firelight. After a while, vague handwriting appeared.
Seeing this, Hua Yuejin smiled: "That's right! Look, I didn't lie to you! You should talk to His Highness quickly and catch the real culprit as soon as possible!"
Chu Jiaoli took a closer look at the faint handwriting. It was indeed the Xianghou Mansion's plan to send someone to assassinate her when the fireworks were set off tonight.
She frowned slightly, thought for a while, then put the note into the fire, took it out, and let go.
Seeing that the burning note turned into ashes in the air before it fell to the ground, Hanayuki Nishiki immediately collapsed and shouted: "No! Why are you doing this!"
Chu Jiaoli glanced at the remaining ashes on the ground and said, "There is obviously nothing on your note."
"You!" Hua Yuejin was stunned and said, "Why? Why do you want to help her?!"
Chu Jiaoli looked up at her and said, "Because Xiang Yini is useful to Your Highness."
Hua Yuejin frowned and said: "What does that have to do with me?! You have killed me too, I have given you a life, I don't care about it, so don't care about it, okay? I don't want to be a scapegoat.
!Are you just going to let the real murderer go free!"
Chu Jiaoli narrowed her eyes slightly, walked up to her, and whispered in her ear: "People like you will only hurt Xiang Yini and become the second Chu Jiaoli."
Hua Yuejin clenched her fist unwillingly and said: "What does that have to do with you?! You know that I can't fight you. A powerful force like the Xianghou Mansion can kill you at any time! Which is more important, you still don't know?
Do you know! I am just a small character. You hate Xiang Yini a hundred times more than you hate me. What good will it do to you to help Xiang Hou Mansion!"
Hearing this, Chu Jiaoli smiled bitterly and said hoarsely: "How can a superficial person like you understand my love for His Highness?"
"You!" Hua Yuejin gritted her teeth unwillingly as she was underestimated, but was afraid of the current situation and became too angry to speak out.
Chu Jiaoli breathed out softly and whispered: "Look at you, reborn like me, you have obviously taken the lead, the daughter of the Minister of Rites, the legitimate daughter born with a golden spoon in her mouth, I am just a down-and-out royal businessman.
As a concubine, I worked hard to get rid of the fate of being a concubine. Now I am even more humble than before. You can obviously ride on my head and humiliate me severely, but why am I still looking at you condescendingly now?
"
Hua Yuejin gritted her teeth unwillingly. Although she didn't want to admit it, she was indeed plotted because of her carelessness.
Looking back at Chu Jiaoli, although she is only a maid, she has already won a game by not marrying into the Zhao family. The cloak she wears is so exquisite and embroidered with lifelike pythons. It is obviously the cloak of Beigong Tengxiao.
It is true that she is too stupid. Chu Jiaoli is right, she obviously has the upper hand than her...
She sniffed, looked at Chu Jiaoli pitifully, and said: "Sister Jiaoli, I was wrong. I shouldn't have competed with you for His Highness. I don't dare to do it anymore. Can you show mercy and let me go?"
I promise, I will not interfere with whatever you want to do..."
Chu Jiaoli was silent for a long time, then slowly turned his back to her and said: "I have experienced it with you, and I understand your desire to survive. If I were still the queen, when His Highness hates you, I might
I’ll let you go once, after all, you really can’t fight me.”
"Yes, yes, how can a little guy like me defeat you, Sister Jiaoli? As long as you can open your mouth and talk to His Highness..." Hua Yuejin smiled flatteringly.
Chu Jiaoli slowly lowered her eyes and said: "Now I am not as good as you. My road is not as smooth as yours, and I don't want to provoke the Xianghou Mansion. It is not me who you have angered, but His Highness. What Your Highness thinks is the truth.
The truth has nothing to do with me, and I have never done anything to you. A mere minister of the Ministry of Rites is of no concern to the imperial court. You can only wish for yourself."
As soon as the words fell, Chu Jiaoli was about to leave.
"Chu Jiaoli!" Hua Yuejin called her, but seeing that she ignored her, Hua Yuejin sneered, "I dare to ask, how did you die? Could it be that His Highness felt sorry for me and cut you alive in a fit of rage?!
"
Hearing this, Chu Jiaoli stopped, turned around, clenched her fists tightly, frowned and said, "You think too highly of yourself."
Seeing her breathing disorder, Hua Yuejin smiled and said, "Don't forget who broke the rumor that the emperor only favors the queen. You can't see how good he is to me, right?"
Hearing this, Chu Jiaoli gritted her teeth tightly and stared at her with hatred, her eyes already filled with tears.
Hua Yuejin continued to add fuel to the fire and said: "Because of my existence, you were so angry that you went crazy and wanted to live and die. I will always remember it. If it weren't for the fear that you would really die, how would His Highness be willing to go to your Weiyang Palace?
?You hurt me like this, His Highness must hate you for being such a jealous woman!"
Chu Jiaoli glared at her angrily, and finally couldn't help raising her hand, about to slap Hua Yuejin in the face, but she immediately stopped, clenched her trembling fist tightly, and put it down angrily.
"Are you in a hurry? Come and hit me." Hua Yuejin said with a smile.
"Hmph." Chu Jiaoli snorted coldly and said, "Do you think I will be fooled by you?"
If she touched Huayue Brocade, the Minister of Rites would immediately report her and order her execution.
She swallowed, took a deep breath, and said: "Who His Highness likes has nothing to do with me now, but what you just said has confirmed my suspicion that your existence is very important to His Highness, His Highness's concubines, and His Highness's children.
They are all threats. Although I have no ability to control you, it seems that His Highness does not want to let you go, and I will never say a kind word to you."
As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and left quickly, no longer staying.
"If you don't help me, aren't you afraid that I will tell His Highness your previous scandal?" Hua Yuejin shouted to her with wide eyes.
"What are you talking about? I didn't understand a single word." Chu Jiaoli raised her voice without stopping.
"Chu Jiaoli! You despicable villain! I will never let you go even if I'm a ghost!" Hua Yuejin cried desperately.
When Chu Jiaoli passed by the gate, Jinglan walked in. After a while, Hua Yuejin's cry was no longer heard.
Chu Jiaoli clenched her trembling fists tightly, tears falling uncontrollably.
Hua Yuejin's words touched her heart. She was a flesh-and-blood person. Every word was like a needle pricking her. How could she not feel heartbroken?
Tears dripped down his chin to the ground, right? Did Beigong Tengxiao hate Hua Yuejin because of her? Is this really the only amount of weight she has in his heart...
