The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 275 Preparation
At the tip of the moon, it should have been a quiet night, but the palace became noisy.

"Snapped!"

The Empress Dowager slapped the table with her palm and roared, "Search for me. Except for the emperor's palace, no matter whose residence it is, search it carefully. Don't miss any place."

Shi De, the chief executive of the Longevity Palace, hurried to convey the order.

"and many more--"

The Empress Dowager stopped him and said: "Don't alarm the emperor about this matter, I will tell him in person tomorrow."

"Yes." Shi De took the order and left.

At this moment, Cui Hengyue, who caused the uproar, was sitting calmly on a chair, lifting the teapot and pouring tea slowly.

"sit down."

Cui Hengyue motioned for Lu'er to sit down, put a cup of hot tea on the table, and slowly pushed it over: "After running for so long, let's have a cup of tea."

Lu'er sat down in a complicated mood, picked up the teacup, and fell into deep thought while watching the tea leaves stretching out in the cup.

Now the forbidden army in the entire palace is searching for the assassin, she believes that it won't be long before the forbidden army will find Hongqiongyuan.

Once the forbidden army finds her in Hongqiongyuan, not only will she die, but Cui Hengyue will also suffer.

So, shouldn't we find a way to hide her at this time?Why is Cui Hengyue still sitting here so calmly?
Lu'er couldn't figure out what Cui Hengyue wanted to do, and she didn't have the heart to guess, she just wanted to live now.

"What? Are you afraid that I will poison the tea?"

Seeing that Lu'er was staring at the teacup but not drinking tea, Cui Hengyue raised her eyebrows and asked.

"Ah?" Lu'er came back to her senses and hurriedly explained: "No, no, I didn't think so."

In order to prove that she really did not doubt Cui Hengyue, Lu'er drank all the tea in the teacup in one go.

If Cui Hengyue wanted to kill her, he wouldn't have saved her from Nanny You and Nanny Gui.

The corners of Cui Hengyue's lips curled slightly, and her indifferent expression resumed: "Tell me, how did Concubine Rong die back then?"

"My Concubine Rong really died of illness."

Cui Hengyue saw Lu'er's hesitation, and pretended to be angry: "What? I have saved you through untold hardships, and you don't even want to tell me the answer?
"Is this how you repay my life-saving grace?"

Lu'er blushed instantly, and lowered her head in shame: "My little lady saved me, I am very grateful in my heart, but Concubine Rong really died of illness."

Dare to lie?

Cui Hengyue stretched out her hands, slapped the table heavily, and leaned closer to Lu'er: "Your mother died of illness, it wasn't Rong Guifei who died with a cane."

"How do you know?" Lu'er suddenly raised her head and looked at Cui Hengyue in surprise.

But as soon as she said the words, she regretted it. Isn't this self-inflicted?
A hint of sarcasm crossed the corner of Cui Hengyue's mouth: "Never mind how I know, in short, my aunt did not feel sorry for your mother, nor did I feel sorry for you.

"I saved you now because you owe me your life. I don't want your life. As long as you answer my question, it shouldn't be too much, right?"

Lu'er lowered her head again in shame.

"Answer me, how did my aunt die?" Cui Hengyue patted the table again.

The sudden sound frightened Lu'er, and her lips trembled slightly: "I, I."

He hesitated for a long time, but still didn't have a word of truth.

Cui Hengyue got angry, pulled out a dagger and stuck it on the table.

Seeing the dagger only an inch away from her, Lu'er was so frightened that she panicked, fell back and sat on the ground.

"What do you want to do?"

Cui Hengyue pulled out the dagger, came to Lu'er, and put the dagger against her neck: "I saved you just now to get your truth, since you don't want to tell, then I have no choice but to kill you, so as not to cause trouble for myself .”

After the words fell, he raised the short knife high and stabbed down.

"and many more--"

Cui Hengyue paused.

"Don't, don't kill me, I said, I said." Lu'er trembled all over, and only after she finished speaking did she realize that her back was wet.

She doesn't want to die.

Holding this belief, Lu'er plucked up her courage and said, "I can tell you the truth that I know, but I can only tell you if I leave the palace safely."

If she said it now, what would Cui Hengyue do if he handed her over later?
At the juncture of life and death, Lu'er had to plan a way out for herself.

"Ha ha--"

Cui Hengyue sneered, she was quite smart.

"Okay, I promise you, but if you let me know that you are playing tricks, I will never let you go." Cui Hengyue put away the dagger and warned her fiercely.

Lu'er hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I will definitely keep my promise, as long as I leave the palace safely, I will know everything and say everything."

Cui Hengyue glanced at her lightly, and pointed casually: "There are still some pastries on the table, you can eat first, I'll go out for a while."

After finishing speaking, Cui Hengyue left the room.

She summoned Shui Fu and Shui Rong, and said solemnly: "You should know about Lu'er being punished in court.

"I sneaked into Yeting tonight and found out that the Queen Mother's people were going to kill Lu'er, so I rescued her.

"Nowadays, the imperial army is searching the palace for assassins and Lu'er, if they find Lu'er here, not only will I suffer, but you will also be implicated.

"I need your help, I wonder if you would like it?"

Shui Rong immediately stated: "You are the master, if you have something to tell, we will definitely do it, we will not say what should not be said, and we will not ask what should not be asked."

Shui Fu, who was about to ask Cui Hengyue why she wanted to save Lu'er, was at a loss for words when she heard this.

In desperation, Shui Fu had no choice but to follow Shui Rong's words: "Yuanniang, what do you want us to do, just tell us."

"Very good." Cui Hengyue showed a satisfied expression, and then walked to the door of the room: "Lu'er, you come out first and bring food."

As soon as Lu'er heard it, she knew that Cui Hengyue had a solution, and immediately put the cakes on the table in a handkerchief, and after walking two steps, she went back and took the teapot away.

"Put this on."

Cui Hengyue handed over a basket, and after Lu'er packed the pastries and teapot, he led her into the yard.

Shui Fu and Shui Rong hurriedly followed.

Walking to a well in the deserted garden in the northeast corner, Cui Hengyue greeted them: "Let's help together, push the well cover away."

The manhole cover is made of stone and is very heavy. The four of them pushed the manhole cover away with great effort.

"You go down to avoid the limelight for now, and I will pull you up after the guards leave." Cui Hengyue said to Lu'er.

Lu'er probed into the well, it was pitch black and seemed to be bottomless, fear welled up in her heart, she couldn't help but backed away.

Cui Hengyue grabbed her arm: "Don't worry, this well is a dry well, not very deep, and the one with water is the well in the front yard."

After finishing speaking, Cui Hengyue let go of her, picked up a stone from the ground and threw it into the dry well.

But in just a few breaths, they heard the sound of the stone falling to the ground, and Lu'er's heart fell back to the ground immediately.

Shuifu felt very surprised: "Yuanniang, how do you know the well is not that deep?"

"Guess." Cui Hengyue smiled.

Shuifu: "."

Can you guess so accurately?

Lu'er gritted her teeth and said to Cui Hengyue, "Okay, I'll go down."

Now, she has no other choice.

So, Cui Hengyue tied the rope around Lu'er's waist, and together with Shui Fu and Shui Rong, they forced Lu'er into the dry well slowly.

"All right."

The rope moved a bit, and at the same time Lu'er's voice came from the bottom of the well.

Cui Hengyue pulled up the rope, hung the basket down again, and finally retracted the rope, and pushed back the manhole cover together with Shui Fu and Shui Rong.

"and many more--"

Cui Hengyue looked around, then ran out of the barren garden and brought some dust over.

She sprinkled the dust on the manhole cover, and said, "What parts of this desolate garden have you touched just now, and restored it to its original appearance.

"Remember, the footprints must also be destroyed, so that no one can see that we have entered this barren garden"
