The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 393 Short Arrow
Hearing the princess regent scolding Wang Dingkun, Cui Hengyue faintly felt relieved, if it wasn't for the ruthlessness of the Wang family, her mother would never have died in a miserable way.

After a while, the princess regent got tired of cursing, so she picked up the cold tea on the case and drank it down.

Unexpectedly, the princess regent choked and coughed violently after drinking too quickly.

"Princess, what's the matter with you?"

Mother Xu, who was guarding the door, heard the commotion inside, hurriedly opened the door and came in, ran to the Princess Regent's side, and gently patted her back to comfort her.

Shui Rong took the opportunity to look into the room, and it happened that Cui Hengyue looked over, and the two exchanged glances.

After the princess regent came over, she pushed Aunt Xu away: "You step back first, I still have something to say to Miss Cui."

"Yes." Madam Xu exited the room and closed the door.

Cui Hengyue stared at the face of the princess regent for a while, and suddenly said: "The princess doesn't seem to be in good health."

"I'm sick, don't get in the way." The princess regent responded briefly, and then brought up the previous topic again: "According to what you said before, there are rules in Yunxuan Temple, if you enter the South Hall, you can never leave.

"Then how did you get down the mountain?"

Cui Hengyue replied calmly: "I have lived in Yunxuan Temple for 15 years. I have never seen the King of Chu before. After my mother died, I wanted to go with my mother and jump off the cliff."

Before finishing listening, the princess regent exclaimed, and suddenly scolded with a straight face: "You silly boy, how can you be so stupid, can't think of committing suicide?
"Do you know that your mother took you out of Cui's mansion through untold hardships, just to hope that you can live well. How can you be worthy of your mother by doing this?"

Cui Hengyue lowered her head and made a remorseful expression: "I didn't think about it that much at the time. I just thought that I was abandoned by Cui Shi and Wang Shi. The only mother who loved me also passed away. I am meaningless to live, so just..."

Hearing this, the princess regent felt sorry for her, she couldn't help but walked to Cui Hengyue's side and sat down, gently holding her hand: "My good boy, you have suffered."

Cui Hengyue didn't speak, but kept her head down.

The princess regent comforted her, and continued to ask: "So, the king of Chu let you go down the mountain because he saw you committing suicide?"

"Eh, I don't know either." Cui Hengyue raised her head with a confused look on her face: "That day, I jumped off the cliff, and the people of King Chu saved me.

"Later, the king of Chu met me several times and asked me to help him with work. Maybe I did a good job and the king of Chu was very satisfied, so he made an exception and let me go down the mountain."

The Princess Regent was lost in thought.

The King of Chu is cold-tempered, moody, and will always do something unexpected when he is in a good mood.

It is not impossible to detain Wang's mother and daughter for 15 years and release Cui Hengyue after Wang's death.

"princess--"

Cui Hengyue called out cautiously, and after attracting the attention of the princess regent, she asked: "Princess, I heard that you used to have a deep relationship with Concubine Rong, as close as sisters, isn't it?"

The Princess Regent nodded her head: "Yes, the Wang sisters and I are close friends in our boudoirs, and the three of us have a very good relationship. Why did you ask Concubine Rong?"

Cui Hengyue showed an embarrassed expression: "You also know that after my mother got married, she was expelled from the family.

"Concubine Rong passed away before I could say anything. I have never seen her, and my mother rarely told me about her. She is my biological aunt, and I want to know about her.

"Princess, can you tell me about her?"

Speaking of the former Emperor's Concubine Rong, the Regent Princess couldn't help but sigh: "Concubine Rong is a stunningly talented person."

Suddenly, the princess regent changed her expression and shouted, "Who is there?"

Before the words were finished, a piercing sound came from behind, and Cui Hengyue subconsciously threw herself down to the regent princess.

"what--"

The screams came from the room, Xu Momo and Shui Rong who were guarding the door immediately opened the door and came in, but they saw Cui Hengyue pressing on the regent princess, and the regent princess had a short arrow stuck in her shoulder.

"princess--"

Madam Xu's expression changed immediately, and she rushed over.

"Yuan Niang—" Shui Rong also rushed over.

Cui Hengyue helped the Princess Regent to stand up, looking at the window, the short arrow was shot from outside the window.

She let go of the Princess Regent, and was about to go to the window to check, but was held tightly by Nanny Xu.

"Miss Cui, I didn't expect you to be so vicious at such a young age that you dare to assassinate the princess?" Madam Xu hugged the regent princess with one hand, and grabbed Cui Hengyue with the other.

"Nurse." The princess regent wanted to explain to Cui Hengyue, but her eyes suddenly went dark and she passed out.

"Princess—" Madam Xu turned pale with shock, and hurriedly shouted: "Come on—"

Cui Hengyue took the opportunity to run to the window, stretched her neck and looked out.

A group of guards rushed in, only listening to Mother Xu's order: "Arrest them all."

Shui Rong stood there without moving, allowing the guards to arrest her.

The other guards thought that Cui Hengyue was going to escape by jumping out of the window, so they rushed over immediately, grabbed Cui Hengyue and dragged them inside.

"let me go."

Cui Hengyue broke free from the restraints of the guards, and said: "It was not me who assassinated the princess, but someone shot a short arrow in from the window and hit the princess.

"You rush over now, maybe you can catch the assassin."

The guards paused, they didn't go out to catch the assassin, and they didn't step forward to catch Cui Hengyue. Obviously, they didn't believe Cui Hengyue's words.

Cui Hengyue was in a hurry: "Don't worry, I won't run away, I'm right here, you hurry up and catch the assassin."

The guards hesitated in their hearts, and all looked at Madam Xu in unison.

At this time, Mother Xu had already checked the regent princess's injuries, she glanced at Cui Hengyue, and immediately ordered: "Hurry up and call for a doctor, block this street, and no one is allowed to leave.

"In addition, send someone back to the mansion to report the matter here to the regent"

After listening to the order, everyone took action.

Soon, the guards took the doctor to the private room.

After a while, Chen Linyu and Jiang Chen rushed over.

"Hurry up and go in and treat my mother."

After Chen Linyu rushed the imperial doctor he brought to the private room, he stared at Aunt Xu: "Why is mother injured?"

Nanny Xu knelt down and said in a crying voice, "I didn't protect the princess well, please forgive me."

Chen Linyu was very anxious, and immediately became angry when he heard this: "If there is anything wrong with my mother, you will all die."

Everyone inside and outside the house knelt down: "Your Majesty, calm down."

The movement upstairs was heard downstairs, Zhang Wulang couldn't help approaching Cui Hengyue, and asked in a low voice, "Master, will anything happen to the Princess Regent?"

Cui Hengyue was thinking, when she heard this, she said, "I can't die."

Unexpectedly, after Zhang Wulang heard this, his eyes became strange: "Is it true that you stabbed your regent princess?"

Cui Hengyue stared over: "Am I so stupid?"

Zhang Wulang touched the back of his head embarrassingly, and squeezed out a smile: "My boss is smart and wise, not stupid at all, hehe."

But Shui Rong asked in a low voice: "Yuanniang, what did you see by the window just now?"

"I"

Just as Cui Hengyue was about to answer, Jiang Chen came over and said with a serious face: "Miss Cui, Your Majesty welcomes you."
