The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 399
Cui Hengyue gritted her teeth for a while, suppressed the anger in her heart, and pretended to ask curiously, "Do you know my mother?"

After asking this question, Cui Hengyue observed that Chen Zhan hesitated for a moment.

He hesitated, he had a ghost in his heart.

With deep eyes, Chen Zhan said slowly: "Back then, your mother was the jewel in the palm of the Wang family. She and her sister were deeply loved by Empress Mingde, and they often walked in the palace, so I often saw them in the palace."

Empress Mingde is the empress of Emperor Taizu, and also the aunt of the first emperor, King Chu, and King Rui.

"I heard Empress Mingde mention it by chance once, and then I realized that your mother has the habit of using the bed."

She doesn't believe this nonsense, Cui Hengyue secretly said.

As if unwilling to continue, Chen Zhan suddenly looked at Cui Hengyue: "Why don't you ask how the princess's injury is? Are you not afraid that I will punish you?"

Cui Hengyue was calm and composed: "The imperial doctor said that Wangfei's injury will not be life-threatening, but her body is weak and she won't be able to wake up for a while.

"When the princess wakes up, everyone will know that I was not the one who stabbed the princess.

"I have heard that the regent is wise and fair, and will not wrong a good person. I don't think you will convict me without sufficient evidence."

A smile suddenly appeared on Chen Zhan's majestic and rigid face: "Wang's daughter is indeed smart and brave. That's right. There is not enough evidence now. I won't punish you."

The next moment, he sternly said again: "However, if you let me know that your current words and deeds are just your way of delaying, I will never forgive you."

Facing Chen Zhan's sinister gaze, Cui Hengyue was unmoved, and looked at him fearlessly: "I didn't hurt the princess, and you don't have this chance either."

Hearing this, Chen Zhan laughed out loud.

Hearing the laughter coming from inside, Chen Linshen who was standing outside the yard couldn't help but said to his elder brother: "I have never heard such a happy laughter from my father. What do you think they are talking about?"

Although Chen Linyu also had doubts, he didn't show it: "Tomorrow, if you ask that girl Shui Rong, you will know?"

Right.

Chen Linshen suppressed the doubts in his heart: "Brother, let's go. If our father finds us eavesdropping here, he will definitely punish us."

"Didn't you pull me to eavesdrop? Don't listen now?"

Facing the teasing eyes of his elder brother, Chen Linshen showed an embarrassed expression: "It's too far away, I can't hear it."

After speaking, he dragged his elder brother and left here.

In the courtyard, Chen Zhan suddenly mentioned the Wang family again: "I heard that you have not been in Zhuangzi these years, but in Yunxuan Temple.

"Have you and your mother been doing well in Yunxuan Temple for so many years?"

Cui Hengyue's complexion suddenly changed, sad and angry: "I am plagued by illness, and I have been lying on the bed all year round, with only one maid by my side, eating poor food and drink, and living in the cave for more than ten years, in the dark.

"The daughter who desperately protects each other can only see her once a month, and she cannot return to her hometown after she dies. Do you think she is doing well?"

Chen Zhan choked, and distress gradually appeared in his eyes.

When Cui Hengyue saw her, she clenched her fists even tighter, she suppressed the urge to beat someone, and said slowly: "Speaking of which, I am very envious of Wang Hao, who has a good husband like you.

"For decades, I have devoted myself to the princess, there is no concubine in the backyard, and my life is peaceful and happy. I don't know how many women I have envied.

"Poor my mother, what she trusts is not human."

Having said that, Cui Hengyue stood up and sighed: "My concubine is right, let the past be the past."

After finishing the words, he bowed silently to Chen Zhan, then turned and walked towards the room.

Chen Zhan: "."

It wasn't until the sound of closing the door was heard that Chen Zhan got up and left silently.

Seeing Chen Zhan walking out of the guest courtyard with an ugly face, Jiang Chen went up to greet him: "Master, what's wrong with you?"

"I originally wanted to get news about the King of Chu from that girl, but I didn't expect it to be related to me." Chen Zhan couldn't help but sighed.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen was surprised, but he didn't dare to ask more questions.

After a long silence, Chen Zhan ordered: "Send someone to watch that girl."

After one night, I heard that Cui Hengyue and Cui Sanniang did not return to the residence, but stayed in the Prince Regent's residence to take care of the princess. Mrs. Cui felt uneasy, so she said to Mrs. Cui:

"The Princess Regent has a noble status, and she is Cui's in-law. She was assassinated and injured so seriously, we should all visit her due to reason.

"You are an elder, it is not appropriate to go, let me visit the regent princess."

Before Mrs. Cui could open her mouth, Second Mrs. Cui rushed to say: "Yesterday, my second master and I visited the regent princess personally, so I won't bother my sister-in-law."

"How can I do that?" Mrs. Cui straightened up, looked at Mrs. Cui and said, "You and the Princess Regent are sisters, and you are going to visit as sisters.

"I went to visit on behalf of my mother and the Yasukuni government. This can better express our hearts."

Mrs. Cui retorted angrily: "Second Master is the master of the Yasukuni Mansion, and I am also a member of the Yasukuni Mansion. Why can't we represent the Yasukuni Mansion when we go?"

Seeing her angry, Mrs. Cui said softly: "You misunderstood, I didn't mean that, I meant that you went with the second master, I will go again, it can better show the closeness between our Yasukuni government and the Regent's government .”

Mrs. Cui was at a loss for words for a while.

At this time, Mrs. Cui said: "Okay, stop arguing, Mrs. Xie is right, let's make a decision like this."

He also told Mrs. Du: "Go to the warehouse to pick up more good medicinal materials, and let Da Furen take them to the Prince Regent's Mansion."

Jinglan Court.

Su Biwen sneaked into Mrs. Wen's room quietly: "The second master and the second wife did not bring back the little madman and third lady. It seems that the regent is not going to release them. We have to find a way to see the little madman."

I don't know anything, it's so hard.

Lady Wen knew what he was thinking and comforted him: "Don't be impulsive, the Prince Regent's Mansion is not the Yasukuni Mansion, even if you can get in, you may not be able to get out unscathed.

"I just learned that the eldest lady is going to visit the princess at the Prince Regent's Mansion, and given how much the eldest lady loves the little lunatic, she will definitely visit the little lunatic.

"In this way, I will find a way to let people follow the eldest lady."

Su Biwen wanted Mrs. Wen to go with Mrs. Cui, but when he touched the veil on her face, he changed his words immediately: "Who do you let?"

"Water Fu."

Lady Wen sent Su Biwen away, and went to Shuifu's room. She didn't talk nonsense, and said straight to the point: "The eldest lady is going to the Regent's Palace, so you can go with her, just in time to send some changes of clothes for Yuan Niang."

What does she mean?
Shui Fu suspected that Mrs. Wen had seen through her identity, and carefully probed: "I heard that the second lady helped Yuan Niang bring some change of clothes over there yesterday, is it wrong to send the clothes today?"

Lady Wen's complexion remained unchanged: "The gift of clothes is fake, but the news is true.

"Yuan Niang is trapped in the Prince Regent's Mansion, and we don't know what happened yesterday. If we don't know the truth earlier, we may lose the best time to rescue Yuan Niang.

"You are a member of the King of Chu. If you propose to go together, Da Furen will definitely not refuse."

It turned out to be like this, Shui Fu felt a little relieved: "I was just about to go out to inquire about Yuan Niang's news. Since Da Furen is going, I will go and tell Da Furen right now."

After saying that, the two went to Cui Hengyue's room to pack some change of clothes and Cui Hengyue's usual things, and went to find Madam Cui.

After hearing Shui Fu's request, Mrs. Cui agreed without saying a word.
