The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 400 Princess Huayu
Regent House.

"The people who appeared around Zhumanxuan yesterday have been interrogated. So far, nothing suspicious has been found. However, there are still some people who are being interrogated, and we will have news later."

Chen Linyu gestured on the map with his fingers while listening to his subordinates' reports.

At this time, a guard's voice came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Cui asks to see you."

With a pause of his fingers, Chen Linyu slowly raised his head, and ordered: "Please go to the side hall, I will go later."

After half a stick of incense, Chen Linyu walked into the side hall.

Mrs. Cui got up quickly and wanted to salute: "I have seen the world"

Chen Linyu walked a few steps quickly, and offered some help: "Mrs. Cui is an elder, so there is no need to be polite, please sit down."

Mrs. Cui stood up and sat back in her seat: "My lord, I won't go around in circles. I came today to know if the princess is awake? How is the investigation going?"

Sure enough.

Chen Linyu was also polite, and replied: "Thank you Madam Cui for your concern, my mother is seriously injured and is still in a coma.

"As for the assassination of my mother, it is still under investigation."

That is to say, the investigation has not yet been concluded, and Cui Hengyue cannot leave the Prince Regent's Palace.

Mrs. Cui changed her mind and gave up the plan to take Cui Hengyue back to the mansion today: "My son, I want to go and see the princess, and Yuan Niang and San Niang in my house. Is it possible?"

Chen Linyu did not refuse, and ordered the servant: "Take Mrs. Cui to see the princess, Cui Yuanniang, and Cui Sanniang."

"Yes."

The servant walked up to Mrs. Cui and said, "Mrs. Cui, please follow me."

So Mrs. Cui went to see the regent princess first.

There were many maidservants in the room, Mrs. Cui did not stay for a long time, after seeing the regent princess, she asked Madam Xu a few more words, and then left.

"Cui Hengyue, come out for me—"

Suddenly a strange shrill cry came from outside, Cui Hengyue was startled, put down the bowl and went out.

Shui Rong's face changed drastically, and she hurried to chase Cui Hengyue: "Yuanniang, it's Princess Huayu, she's back from Zhuangzi, don't go out, I'll deal with her."

After finishing speaking, he quickened his pace and wanted to rush out, but was held back by Cui Hengyue.

"She's coming for me, it's useless for you to go."

Cui Hengyue pulled Shui Rong behind her back and stepped over the threshold.

Just after crossing the threshold, there was a flash of cold light, and the tip of the sword was already in front of him.

Cui Hengyue hurriedly threw her head back and kicked at the same time.

After the sword was kicked away, Cui Hengyue quickly made a move, grabbed the sword-holding hand of the sneak attacker, twisted it hard, and snatched his sword.

Raising his finger, the tip of the sword pointed directly at the throat of the attacker.

"you lose."

Cui Hengyue looked at the man pointed at by the sword and said coldly.

The man was the guard next to Princess Huayu, named Zhou Li, who was defeated by Cui Hengyue with a single move, his face was livid.

When Princess Huayu rushed over to see this scene, her face was as black as ink, and the anger in her heart gushed out: "Come on, catch this witch.

"If there is resistance, kill on the spot."

Shui Rong turned pale with shock, and hastily begged for mercy: "Princess, please calm down."

However, Princess Huayu didn't listen to her, and the surrounding guards didn't pay attention to her either. After hearing Princess Huayu's order, the surrounding guards rushed towards Cui Hengyue, regardless of Zhou Li's life or death.

The royals were ruthless indeed.

Cui Hengyue sighed in her heart, then kicked Zhou Li away, and fought with the guards.

"Yuan Niang."

Shui Rong was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, she didn't make a move or didn't make a move, she wanted to go to Princess Huayu to explain to Cui Hengyue, but was blocked by the guards and couldn't pass.

She had no choice but to shout: "Princess, calm down, there is someone else who hurt the princess, not our Yuan Niang."

"Shut up." Princess Huayu roared: "At that time, there was only my mother and her in the room. If the assassin wasn't her, who could it be?"

Seeing that Cui Hengyue was more than capable, he shouted angrily: "You can't even catch a wild girl, what are you doing for food?
"Give me a dead hand, don't show mercy."

The guards became more ferocious.

Seeing this, Shui Rong gritted her teeth and rushed into the battle circle.

Cui Hengyue saw it, and a hot current surged in her heart.

In the courtyard next door, the maid Linglan ran out immediately after hearing the movement.

But soon, Linglan returned to the yard and reported to Cui Sanniang: "Sanniang, it's bad, Huayu County is mainly arresting Yuanniang, and Yuanniang fought with those guards."

Cui Sanniang sat still and said, "Just hit me."

Linglan was stunned, what does Sanniang mean by this?Why didn't she respond?
"Sanniang, Yuanniang is your elder sister after all, if you don't do anything, isn't it inappropriate?" Linglan asked tactfully.

Who knows, Cui Sanniang is still indifferent: "Although she is my eldest sister, I don't have a deep relationship with her, and she is the biggest suspect who hurt my aunt, why should I help her?
"If I help her now, Huayu will definitely hate me."

Linglan continued to persuade: "But if you don't help Yuanniang, if she complains to the old lady and the Duke, you will be the one who will be punished."

"I don't know, why should I help?" Cui Sanniang looked innocent.

Linglan: "."

It seems that Sanniang doesn't intend to get involved, so she should pretend to be deaf too.

The sound of swords colliding next door came one after another, and the fighting became more and more intense.

Shui Rong played very carefully, not only to keep herself from getting hurt, but also to protect Cui Hengyue from getting hurt, and not to hurt the guard too much.

It's really a difficult situation.

Cui Hengyue fought very vigorously. During the fight, she smiled and said to Shui Rong: "I didn't practice this morning, so it's time to move my muscles and bones and exercise."

When Princess Huayu heard this, she became even more angry, and scolded the guards: "What are you all doing? Why don't you kill this wild girl?"

The guards around felt bitter, it was because they didn't work hard, it was because they couldn't touch Cui Hengyue, let alone kill her.

Seeing that Princess Huayu's face turned black with anger, Zhou Li rushed out of the guest house thinking of the humiliation just now.

Soon, Zhou Li came back with a bow and arrow in his hand.

"Good."

Princess Huayu saw it, praised Zhou Li, and ordered him: "Shoot an arrow and shoot her to death."

Without further ado, Zhou Li immediately drew his bow and set his arrows, aiming at Cui Hengyue.

Shui Rong's complexion changed drastically, she hurriedly approached Cui Hengyue, and reminded Cui Hengyue: "Yuanniang, be careful—"

"stop!"

At this time, Mrs. Cui walked into the yard, saw this scene and hurriedly stopped her.

Zhou Li paused.

Princess Huayu turned her head and saw Mrs. Cui, and whispered to Zhou Li: "Shoot an arrow."

Zhou Li aimed at Cui Hengyue again and let go decisively.

"Whoosh-"

The off-string arrow quickly approached Cui Hengyue.

Mrs. Cui screamed in fright, and rushed towards Cui Hengyue.

"Ma'am—"

Wutong was shocked, and hurriedly reached out to pull Mrs. Cui, but failed.

"Ding!"

At a critical moment, a short arrow flew across and collided with the arrow shot by Zhou Li, and both arrows fell to the ground.

Cui Hengyue, who was about to dodge, was stunned, and looked in the direction of the short arrow.

I saw Chen Linshen walking slowly, handing the light crossbow in his hand to Pine who was beside him, and shouted: "Stop it all."

The people in the yard immediately stopped fighting.

Princess Huayu was not reconciled, and rushed to Chen Linshen: "Second brother, that wild girl."

"Shut up." Chen Linshen said in a low voice, "If you get into trouble right after you come back, won't you be punished if you are a real father?"

Hearing this, Princess Huayu lowered her head uneasily.

Chen Linshen looked at Zhou Li again, and said coldly: "If you violate the order of the Patriarch, you can't persuade the Majesty, you will be punished thirty times."

Zhou Li bowed his head, with a respectful attitude: "Thank you Duke."

Afterwards, Chen Linshen walked up to Cui Hengyue, and said apologetically, "Little sister is wayward, and I frightened Miss Cui. I will apologize to you on her behalf."

"It's just a small misunderstanding, the county king doesn't need to take it to heart."

After Cui Hengyue finished speaking, she ran towards Mrs. Cui with a smile on her face: "Auntie, you are here!"
