The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 249 Fearless
Cui Minxing took the cavalry to chase after them, leaving only two soldiers to drive Cui Hengyue back to the mansion in a carriage.

But Cui Minxing ran into Liu Yang before he went far.

On the official road, two horses were lying on the ground neighing, and night clothes, black face scarves, cloth strips, and two pillows were scattered not far away.

"What's going on?" Cui Minxing stepped forward and asked.

Liu Yang showed an angry expression: "Damn it, they played tricks on them. They must have changed their clothes and mixed in with the people who left the city, and fled."

Long before those men in black left the Yasukuni Mansion, he led people to ambush here, preparing to intercept those men in black.

Unexpectedly, only two horses and two dummies came.

For his mistake, Liu Yang was very guilty and terrified, the Duke would definitely be furious when he heard the news, and would punish them as well.

"Then did you see the other two men in black?" Cui Minxing asked again.

Liu Yang frowned: "I only stopped two horses and two dummies, I didn't see the other two men in black."

Cui Minxing thought for a while, and suddenly shouted: "Oh no, they must have entered that forest and left by water."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yang immediately got on his horse and said, "Hurry up and chase."

With a flick of the whip, the horse galloped away.

The others drove their horses to follow.

Those men in black came out from the south city gate. After leaving the city, they walked along the official road for a certain distance. There was a forest on the right. Through the forest, they would see a river.

But not long ago, it rained continuously for several days, the river swelled, the bridges were destroyed, and nearby villages were flooded.

The emperor ordered people to repair the bridge and rebuild the village, but it has not yet been completed and traffic has not been restored.

Therefore, they thought that the men in black would not go this way.

A group of people drove their horses to the woods. The trees were dense and the horses could not pass through. They dismounted and searched forward.

Suddenly, a soldier shouted, "General, there are clues here."

Cui Minxing and Liu Yang ran over immediately.

"General, there is a strip of cloth hanging on this branch. It must have been accidentally left by them when they were fleeing for their lives." The soldier handed over the strip of cloth in his hand.

Liu Yang took it over and took a look: "That's right, this is what those men in black left behind, it seems that they ran this way."

Hearing this, Cui Minxing said to Liu Yang: "You take people to stay and search this forest, and I will take people to the river to have a look."

"it is good."

So, they split into two groups and acted separately.

Yasukuni Mansion.

"Madam, Yuan Niang is back." Wu Tong came in from the outside and reported to Madam Cui.

As soon as the words were finished, a carriage slowly drove into the east door, and Mrs. Cui rushed over immediately.

"Ma'am."

After the soldier stopped the carriage, he jumped down and saluted Mrs. Cui.

"Is Yuan Niang okay?" Mrs. Cui looked nervously at the two soldiers.

Before they answered, Cui Hengyue opened the car door and jumped out: "I'm fine."

Before she could stand still, Mrs. Cui hugged her, her voice choked up: "Son, I'm sorry I surprised you."

Cui Hengyue: "."

Tears fell on her shoulders, burning hot for a while, Cui Hengyue suddenly became at a loss, not knowing where to put her hands.

Although she had found out that Mrs. Cui had no intention of killing her, she was puzzled that Mrs. Cui valued her so much and helped her many times.

Why did Mrs. Cui treat her so well?

Feeling the stiff body of the little lady in her arms, Mrs. Cui came back to her senses, wiped away her tears, and let Cui Hengyue go.

"It's fine."

Mrs. Cui smiled at Cui Hengyue, then took the cloak from Xiuyun's hand, put it on for Cui Hengyue, and then led her to Jinglan Garden.

"Don't worry, I have personally explained the reason to the old lady. From now on, you will stay in Jinglan Garden to recuperate, and you don't have to go to pay your respects until the Mid-Autumn Festival to attend the palace banquet.

"I have already ordered that no one should go to Jinglan Garden before the Mid-Autumn Festival. You can rest in peace for a few days to recuperate."

Mrs. Cui explained her arrangements to Cui Hengyue in detail. Her voice was gentle, like a spring breeze blowing on her face, slowly calming Cui Hengyue's restless heart.

Along the way, Cui Hengyue didn't meet anyone else, not even the servants, presumably Mrs. Cui had given her orders in advance.

Cui Hengyue couldn't help being moved by this carefulness.

Stepping into the courtyard gate of Jinglan Garden, Mrs. Cui ordered the gatekeeper's mother-in-law: "Close the gate, and no one is allowed to enter without my order."

"Yes." The woman guarding the gate immediately closed the gate.

Because of this sudden change, everyone in Jinglan Garden was injured, from the master to the servants.

However, except for Mrs. Wen, everyone else suffered minor injuries.

Cui Hengyue knew it well, but still asked: "Auntie, what happened to the people in my yard?"

"Don't worry, the wounds on their bodies are all skin wounds, nothing serious, just"

Mrs. Cui paused for a moment, and continued: "It's just that Mrs. Wen's injuries are more serious. Dr. Cao said that she must stay in bed to recuperate, otherwise the root cause of the disease will remain."

Cui Hengyue sighed with a complicated expression: "I don't know where she got the courage to be so fearless."

"Yeah, she's brave."

Mrs. Cui didn't hear Cui Hengyue's subtext, and followed her words: "The two maids that King Chu gave you are good, but they still failed to protect you well after all.

"Those people you chose are more than simple and honest, but not clever enough, only this lady Wen is usually taciturn, looks dull and ugly, but in fact she is the most loyal.

"Since you chose her, treat her well."

Cui Hengyue had mixed feelings in her heart, and what she said had a deep meaning: "Auntie is right, since I have chosen her, I must stick to it to the end."

At this moment, Tang Zhi and Doctor Cao greeted her: "Madam, Yuan Niang."

Mrs. Cui nodded at them, and while walking into the room, she introduced to Cui Hengyue: "Yuanniang, Dr. Cao is the doctor of Jingguo Duke's mansion. He used to be an imperial physician in the palace, and his medical skills are very good.

"Tang Zhi is a person close to the old lady, and she understands medical principles. She will help you treat the wound later."

Cui Hengyue did not speak.

The injury on her body really needs a woman to take care of it, but Shui Fu and Shui Rong can do it, and no other people are needed. Tang Zhi must have been sent by Mrs. Cui to investigate the truth.

Mrs. Cui looked at Dr. Cao, and ordered: "You first check Yuanniang's pulse."

"Yes."

Dr. Cao walked up to Cui Hengyue, asked her to stretch out her hand, put on a handkerchief, put her finger on her wrist, and listened intently.

After a while, Dr. Cao put away the veil, stared at Cui Hengyue's face for a long time, then looked at the bloodstain on her neck, and said to Mrs. Cui:

"Ma'am, Yuanniang's pulse is unstable, her liver qi is stagnant, and her body is very weak.

"I have to understand the other wounds on her body before I can prescribe the right medicine."

Mrs. Cui looked at Tang Zhi: "Go to the inner room and help Yuanniang check her injuries."

"Yes, Madam."

So Tang Zhi followed Cui Hengyue into the inner room, helped her take off her clothes, and checked her for injuries.

After a while, Tang Zhi came out of the inner room and explained the condition of the wound to Dr. Cao.

After listening, Dr. Cao picked up a brush and wrote down the prescription on the paper, took out a bottle of medicine from the medicine box, and handed it to Tang Zhi: "Clean up the wound first, and then apply this medicine on the wound. .”

Tang Zhi treated Cui Hengyue's wound according to Doctor Cao's instructions, and let Shui Fu and Shui Rong watch from the side: "In the next few days, you two will help Yuan Niang rub the medicine.

"The wound can't touch the water, be careful when you wipe Yuanniang's body later, don't touch the wound"

After a lot of tossing, Madam Cui left someone to guard the courtyard gate and two servant girls to take care of Cui Hengyue, and left Jinglan Garden with the others.

In the inner room, Shui Fu knelt in front of the bed and asked Cui Hengyue: "Yuanniang, do you know who those men in black are? Why did they break into the Duke Jing's mansion?"

"do not know"

Cui Hengyue uttered three words weakly, and fell into a deep sleep.
