The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 274 Help
"Come"

Before she could ask for help, Nanny You was knocked out by Cui Hengyue.

Seeing this, Nanny Gui immediately shouted, "Come here."

Before she finished speaking, she was hit hard on the head, and Nanny Gui passed out.

"Walk."

Cui Hengyue helped Lu'er up, jumped out of the window, and closed the window again.

"What happened?"

The palace people came out of the room one after another, asking each other what happened just now.

Someone hesitated and said, "I seem to have heard Nanny Gui's voice just now."

"What did Nanny Gui say?"

Zhang Guanshi came from behind the crowd, staring fixedly at the palace man who spoke just now.

"Looks like it's calling 'Come on'."

Before the palace man finished speaking, Zhang Guanshi hurried forward.

Too bad, Nanny Gui must be in danger, I didn't expect this Lu'er to be quite capable.

Then, Guanshi Zhang became worried about himself again, he only walked away for a short while, something happened to Nanny Gui, if the Queen Mother knew about it, she would definitely take his skin off.

With trepidation, Zhang Guanshi pushed open the door of Lu'er's room.

Sure enough, as he expected, Nanny Gui had an accident, she was lying on the ground with her eyes closed, motionless.

Nanny You was lying not far from her, but Nanny You's hands and legs were injured, and her skirt was covered in blood.

"Ah—there are assassins—"

The palace attendants who followed saw the scene in the room and screamed in fright.

There was chaos in the yard.

After the initial shock and panic, Zhang Guanshi shouted: "Shut up."

The surroundings were instantly quiet.

Guanshi Zhang calmly ordered: "Hurry up and send someone to report this matter to the Queen Mother, help Nanny You and Nanny Gui to the bed, and ask the imperial physician to come and show them.

"Block the news, no one can disclose what happened tonight"

After listening to the order, everyone acted separately.

Soon, the Empress Dowager sent someone to pick up Nanny You and Nanny Gui back to the Longevity Palace.

At the same time, the Empress Dowager ordered Cui Zhiwen, the commander of the forbidden army, to hunt down the assassins and find Lu'er.

In the middle of the night, the palace suddenly became lively, and there were more guards patrolling. Cui Hengyue had a secret idea and helped Lu'er to hide behind the rockery.

"Are you feeling better? Can you leave by yourself?" Cui Hengyue watched the movement outside vigilantly.

Lu'er raised her hand to touch her neck. Although her neck hurts, her physical strength has recovered.

"Well, I can go by myself."

Hearing this, Cui Hengyue let go of Lu'er, and seeing no one around, she said to Lu'er: "Follow me, don't expose yourself."

After saying that, he walked out from behind the rockery, trying to hide his body in the darkness as much as possible.

Lu'er quickly followed.

After walking not far, there were footsteps ahead, and Cui Hengyue hurriedly pulled Lu'er to hide.

"Search them all for me."

Then there was the sound of pulling branches and bushes, and Lu'er's expression changed instantly: "I"

Cui Hengyue hastily covered her mouth and made a silent movement.

Not far away, Wu Kuoliang, the deputy commander of the Forbidden Army, looked at the pavilion at the corner, and then walked over.

"Boom-thump-thump-"

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, Lu'er felt nervous, beads of sweat oozed from her forehead, and her palms were also full of sweat.

Cui Hengyue let go of Lu'er, drew out the dagger, ready to go.

"Boom-"

The sound of footsteps stopped suddenly, and a tough face appeared in front of her eyes. Cui Hengyue stabbed it with a short knife without thinking.

Wu Kuoliang was well prepared and grabbed Cui Hengyue's wrist.

Unable to swing the dagger, Cui Hengyue quickly kicked Wu Kuoliang's knee, and at the same time hit Wu Kuoliang's eyes with his left hand.

Such a vicious assassin.

Wu Kuoliang felt emotional in his heart, but his movements were not slow. He used both hands and feet to resist Cui Hengyue's attack at the same time.

The two were fighting with fists and feet, when suddenly there was another sound of footsteps, accompanied by the sound of talking.

"Look, there is a pavilion over there, let's go and have a look."

"it is good"

Lu'er was so frightened that her legs went limp and she sat on the ground.

Cui Hengyue's heart sank, she exerted all her strength, turned her right wrist, and stabbed the dagger at Wu Kuoliang's arm that was holding her.

"Are you Cui Hengyue, the mother-in-law of the Cui family?"

Wu Kuoliang's sudden words made Cui Hengyue stagnate.

"You..." Lu'er was shocked and hurriedly covered her mouth.

Cui Hengyue was only stunned for a moment, then said in a low voice, "I'm not."

Wu Kuoliang couldn't let go of Cui Hengyue's face, but after a few breaths, he let go of Cui Hengyue and left the pavilion.

As soon as he walked to the veranda at the corner, he ran into two guards of the imperial guards.

"Vice commander, why are you here?" the guard asked in surprise.

Wu Kuoliang's expression was serious, and he said majesticly: "There is a pavilion over there, I just went there to search."

Hearing this, the guard looked behind Wu Kuoliang, and there was no one there, "It seems that the assassin is not in the pavilion, let's look elsewhere."

"Let's go." Wu Kuoliang passed the two of them and walked straight forward.

The two guards hurried after him.

"Vice-commander, I heard that this assassin has infiltrated Yeting, why did he go to Yeting? The people in Yeting are all criminals, what are you doing there?"

"Yes, deputy commander, you have a good relationship with the commander, you must know the inside story, please tell us."

With a straight face, Wu Kuoliang scolded: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, hurry up, if we can't find the assassin, we will all suffer."

Hearing this, the two guards turned pale: "Yes."

After they left, Cui Hengyue and Lu'er breathed a sigh of relief, and their tense hearts felt a little relieved.

"Who was that person just now?" Cui Hengyue looked at Lu'er.

"Deputy Commander of the Forbidden Army—Wu Kuoliang." Lu'er replied.

Wu Kuoliang?
Deputy Commander of the Forbidden Army?
Why did he let her go?
No, she was covering her face just now, how did Wu Kuoliang recognize her?

She and him had only met at a banquet, and it was incredible that she could recognize her masked face after only one meeting.

Cui Hengyue recalled the scene just now, and suddenly a light flashed in her mind.

Did he remember the mole under her eye at the banquet?
Cui Hengyue raised her hand slowly, and touched the little mole under the right eyebrow.

It seems that if she disguises her identity in the future, if she doesn't want people to recognize her, she has to hide this mole.

After thinking it over, Cui Hengyue listened quietly for a while, and after confirming that the guards had left, she took Lu'er out of the pavilion.

Cui Hengyue still walked slowly and cautiously, but strangely, since Wu Kuoliang deliberately let her go, she never ran into the imperial army again.

All the way was unimpeded, Cui Hengyue took Lu'er back to Hongqiongyuan.

"come in."

Seeing the man in black in front of him take off his face mask, revealing that stunning face, although Lu'er had already guessed, she was still stunned.

"Really you?"

Cui Hengyue ignored her, but told Shui Fu and Shui Rong: "Look at her, I'll change clothes first."

Shui Fu and Shui Rong suppressed the astonishment in their hearts, and looked at each other silently.

Afterwards, Shui Rong took the initiative to guard the door, while Shui Fu watched Lu'er in the room.

Soon, Cui Hengyue changed into a set of clean clothes and came out of the inner room.

"Go and watch at the gate of the courtyard. If anyone comes, report it in time." Cui Hengyue instructed Shui Fu.

"Yes."

Shui Fu couldn't tell if Cui Hengyue avoided her, or if it was too dangerous outside and she needed to keep an eye on it, but she went obediently
