The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 284

"what?"

There was a roar from inside the hall, You Nanny and Zi Yan outside the door hurriedly lowered their heads, pretending not to hear.

The queen mother glared at Chen Zhan angrily: "How can you let her out of the palace? I said I would keep her in the palace for a while, and it's only the next day, and you let her out of the palace, what do outsiders think of me?"

Chen Zhan smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said in a calm tone, "The Queen Mother calms down, please listen to my explanation.

"Cui Yuanniang was injured and wanted to go back home. General Xiao also spoke for her, and His Majesty agreed softly. I can't refute His Majesty's face, right?
"Furthermore, many ministers in the court knew that she used to live in Yunxuan Temple, and they all stared at her. The reason why they didn't expose Lord Yasukuni was just to save your face.

"It's not appropriate to do anything to her at this time, the best way is to get her out of the palace as soon as possible."

The queen mother was silent for a moment, and then said: "The assassin sneaked into the palace last night, if the assassin took the opportunity to escape from the palace, what should I do?"

Chen Zhan smiled: "Don't worry about the Queen Mother, my people have been watching Cui Yuanniang all the time, if they find an assassin, they will report to me."

Hearing this, the queen mother did not object anymore, she stood up and walked towards the door.

Walking to the door, the queen mother ordered in a low voice: "Zi Yan, you go to the imperial study now and keep an eye on Cui Hengyue."

After giving the order, the Queen Mother returned to the palace and continued to discuss matters with Chen Zhan.
-
Cui Hengyue originally wanted to leave the palace with Xiao Miao, but before Shui Fu and Shui Rong came, Xiao Miao was taken back by the people in the mansion.

She felt deeply regretful, and had another conversation with the emperor, and finally Shui Fu and Shui Rong arrived.

"Your Majesty, Cui Yuanniang's things have been packed, and the maid is already waiting outside." Xie Yuan reported into the hall.

The emperor reluctantly ended the topic, and said to Cui Hengyue: "When you recover from your injury, you must go to the palace to see the Queen Mother."

Come and talk to him by the way.

Cui Hengyue said respectfully: "Observe the order."

After Cui Hengyue left, the emperor picked up the memorial and was about to correct it, when he suddenly thought of something, he ordered Fuquan: "Go to the warehouse to pick some gifts, and send them to the Jingguo Mansion to Cui Yuanniang."

"Yes." Fuquan took the order and left.

At this moment, Xie Yuan has led Cui Hengyue to the carriage: "Little lady, get on the carriage."

Cui Hengyue quietly observed the people standing around the carriage, and found a strange face.

Shui Fu walked up to Cui Hengyue, said the word "green" in a weak voice, stretched out her hand, and raised her voice: "Yuanniang, be careful, I will help you."

Finally, Cui Hengyue felt a little relieved that she didn't let her down, and prepared to get on the carriage.

At this moment, Xie Yuan suddenly walked towards Lu'er: "Who are you? Why haven't I seen you before?"

Cui Hengyue froze instantly.

This brat must have discovered it, right?
Just as she was about to go to help Lu'er out of the siege, Cui Hengyue heard Lu'er's calm voice.

"The queen mother was very worried when she heard that Cui Yuanniang was injured, and her special servant sent Cui Yuanniang back to the mansion."

Xie Yuan frowned, staring at Lu'er's face: "Why haven't I seen you in Longevity Palace?"

Hearing this, Shui Fu's hand holding the veil trembled uncontrollably, she put it down quickly, and hid her trembling hand in her sleeve.

Shui Rong was very calm, watching Lu'er silently.

"Nu is a maid who has just entered the Longevity Palace. Her status is lowly. Naturally, guard Xie has never seen this slave before." Lu'er pretended to be calm.

Xie Yuan frowned even tighter: "You are a cleaning lady, why would the Queen Mother send you to see off Cui Yuanniang?"

At this moment, even Cui Hengyue became nervous. If they didn't answer this question well, they would die.

Lu'er said calmly: "I dare not speculate on the Queen Mother's mind without authorization. If Guard Xie wants to know the answer to this question, he can ask the Queen Mother."

Shui Fu's heart jumped into her throat immediately, she regretted that she really shouldn't have told Lu'er to be bolder at that time, which caused Lu'er to say such bold words.

If Guard Xie really asked the Queen Mother, none of them would be able to leave the palace.

Shui Rong was also a little nervous, she clenched her fists subconsciously, and then slowly let go.

Cui Hengyue looked at Lu'er silently.

Xie Yuan was thoughtful: The queen mother actually sent a cleaning lady to send Cui Hengyue off, this would be too humiliating to Cui Hengyue.

After thinking about it, the queen mother placed Cui Hengyue in the dilapidated Hongqiongyuan, which meant that the queen mother didn't like Cui Hengyue, and even wanted Cui Hengyue to suffer.

If so, it would be perfectly normal for the Queen Mother to send a maid to send Cui Hengyue out of the palace.

"It's getting late, leave the palace early." Xie Yuan withdrew his gaze and urged Cui Hengyue.

The four breathed a sigh of relief.

Cui Hengyue raised her foot again, ready to get on the carriage, but at this moment, there was a rush of footsteps from behind.

"Wait a moment."

It was Zi Yan's voice, Cui Hengyue's heart sank, and she turned to look behind the carriage.

But in just a few breaths, Ziyan appeared in front of Cui Hengyue with her servant, and saluted respectfully: "I've seen you little lady."

After getting up, Zi Yan glanced around blatantly: "Don't blame me, little lady, the queen mother said that the assassin in the palace has not been caught so far, maybe this assassin took the opportunity to sneak into the carriage leaving the palace and escape from the palace.

"Little lady, don't get in the carriage yet, I'll go in and check."

Saying that, without waiting for Cui Hengyue's consent, he lifted the curtain of the car and looked inside.

Although the carriage was large, the contents inside were clear at a glance, and there were no hidden people.

Cui Hengyue kept her eyes on Zi Yan, and said calmly: "Your Majesty ordered the guard Xie to prepare this carriage for me. Are you doing this to suspect that the guard Xie is harboring assassins?"

Xie Yuan's complexion changed slightly, and his eyes looking at Zi Yan became cold.

Zi Yan's heart tightened, and she quickly explained: "Thank you guard, I didn't mean that, I didn't doubt you, I"

After a pause, Zi Yan's tone became firm: "I did this for the sake of the little lady's safety, what if the assassin is cunning and sneaks into the carriage while the guard Xie is not paying attention?
"The little lady is the niece of the empress dowager's direct relative. If something happens, we can't bear the responsibility, so we'd better be careful."

Xie Yuan didn't answer the call.

Zi Yan looked inside the carriage again, and after confirming that there were no Tibetans inside, she looked at the people around the carriage.

Suddenly, her eyes fell on the maid beside Shui Rong: "Who are you?"

Lu'er froze instantly.

Shui Fu and Shui Rong also became nervous.

Cui Hengyue narrowed her almond eyes and quickly thought about countermeasures.

Lu'er just told Xie Yuan that she belongs to the Empress Dowager, and now the Empress Dowager's people are here, if she says that again, she will definitely reveal her identity.

Can't let Lu'er speak.

Thinking of this, Cui Hengyue opened her mouth and hurriedly said: "Miss Ziyan, she is"

"Changshan County King?"

Xie Yuan interrupted Cui Hengyue's words, he looked at Chen Linshen who suddenly appeared, his face was full of surprise: "Prince Changshan, why are you here?"

Chen Linshen glanced at Cui Hengyue indifferently, and then looked at Xie Yuan: "I have something to ask His Majesty, please let the guard pass me a message."

"I want to send Cui Yuanniang out of the palace, the county king should find someone else"

Before Xie Yuan finished speaking, Chen Linshen looked at Cui Hengyue and asked, "Are you going out of the palace?"

"Yes." Cui Hengyue replied blankly.

Chen Linshen was silent for a moment, then walked towards the gate of the palace without saying anything.

Zi Yan looked at Lu'er again: "Which palace are you from?"
