The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 402 Interrogation
Sure enough, the regent sent someone to investigate him before he wanted to see him.

However, Yunxuan Temple is the site of King Chu, but the regent knows that he has lived in Yunxuan Temple for three months, so it can be seen that there is a regent in Yunxuan Temple.

I don't know how much the regent knows.
Song Zhuoxing's heart shivered, and he responded seriously: "After my mother passed away, I often dreamed of her, and in the dream she looked sad and reticent, very unhappy.

"I heard that Yunxuan Temple is full of incense, and praying for blessings is very effective, so I went to Yunxuan Temple, and then I stumbled into the south hall of Yunxuan Temple by mistake."

Speaking of this, Song Zhuoxing showed a regretful expression: "I don't know that there is a rule in the South Palace: those who enter the South Palace will never be able to leave.

"I thought I could only green the ancient Buddha in this life, and I would never leave Yunxuan Temple again. I didn't expect the king of Chu to be merciful and let me go."

At the end, Song Zhuoxing said with lingering fear: "In this life, I will never step into the South Palace again."

Chen Zhan was expressionless, unable to see his thoughts, he asked again: "What did you do in the South Palace? What did you see?"

Is this to inquire about the situation of Nandian?

Or inquire about the situation of King Chu?
Song Zhuoxing was thinking, and he had already answered: "The Southern Palace is in charge of General Mu Yun, under the command of the King of Chu, and he asks his subordinates to supervise our work every day, and we cannot eat or leave the Dizang Pavilion until we finish the work.

"We are so exhausted from working every day, and we fall asleep at night, what else can we do?
"Apart from us in the south hall, there are only General Mu Yun's subordinates. They are like a log, guarding next to us every day. It's annoying to death."

Chen Zhan was thoughtful: "What kind of work does Mu Yun ask you to do?"

"It's picking beans, mending fishing nets, and cutting clothes, which are the size of sesame seeds and mung beans. It's humiliating for me to do what a little girl does like a big man."

Seeing Song Zhuoxing's righteous indignation, which didn't seem like a fake, Chen Zhan believed it a little.

However, Chen Zhan did not give up asking: "Apart from you and your guards, who are the people who are working?"

"I don't know. People in Nandian don't like to talk about their past, and neither do Mu Yun's people. We don't know each other's identities. We just gossip casually when we are working. Just comfort." Song Zhuoxing replied calmly.

"Oh!"

Chen Zhan slapped it down suddenly, and shouted: "Bold boy, how dare you lie in front of me, come here, drag me down and die with a stick."

Immediately, two guards walked in from outside the door, wanting to arrest Song Zhuoxing.

"Wait!"

After Song Zhuoxing stopped the guards, he knelt down "Putong": "Song is just a businessman, how dare he lie to the regent?

"What I'm telling is the truth, and please ask the regent to learn from me."

Chen Zhan said with a straight face: "Su Biwen who came down to the capital with you is the grandson of the traitor Su Qiyuan. You concealed the identity of the remnants of the Su family and even covered him to enter the capital. Do you want to rebel with him?"

Song Zhuoxing's face changed drastically. He expected that the regent would make things difficult for him, but he did not expect such a serious accusation.

What he didn't expect was that the regent actually knew Su Biwen's identity.

"I'm wronged, I really don't know his identity, there are so many people with the surname Su in the world, how do I know that he is the grandson of the traitor Su Qiyuan?

"If I knew, I would definitely report it to the government.

"Even the King of Chu and the King of Changshan County don't know his identity, how can I, a small businessman, know his identity?
"Regent, I was wronged, you must believe me."

Chen Zhan's face was gloomy: "You said the King of Chu didn't know Su Biwen's identity?"

"Yes, if the King of Chu knew about it, how could he take in Su Biwen? He must have given Su Biwen to the government long ago." Song Zhuoxing looked as if he should.

Chen Zhan was silent.

He knew the inside story. At the beginning, the officers and soldiers followed him all the way, and later found out that Su Biwen had entered the Yunxuan Temple, and went up the mountain to ask the important person of the King of Chu.

It's just that the king of Chu didn't agree
This kid actually said that the King of Chu didn't know Su Biwen's identity, and he said such a thing, it seems that he didn't know about the King of Chu at all.

Chen Zhan seemed to believe Song Zhuoxing, and waved his hand.

The two guards left the hall.

Song Zhuoxing breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the next moment, the regent's words lifted Song Zhuoxing's heart again.

"The two guards around you are highly skilled in martial arts, they don't look like ordinary people. Who are they? Who are the people who are secretly protecting you?"

"They are all quacks who I hired with money."

Song Zhuoxing's expression was a little smug at first, but soon became sluggish: "But they are all reckless, they can't help me, they can only protect me.

"Speaking of which, I'm a little ashamed to mention this in front of the regent. I'm just a businessman, so it's really arrogant to hire people from the rivers and lakes to protect me.

"If the regent feels inappropriate, I will fire them after I go back."

This kid is worthy of being born in a merchant, and he dealt with it very tactfully.

Chen Zhan admired it in his heart, but when Song Zhuo finished speaking, he suddenly changed the subject: "How did you stumble into the South Palace by mistake?"

Why did you return to the topic of Nandian?
Song Zhuoxing was stunned for a moment, but he quickly realized, showing a look of shame: "I followed Miss Cui into the South Palace."

"Cui Hengyue?" Chen Zhan raised his eyebrows.

"Yes." Song Zhuoxing explained: "That day, Miss Cui broke into the temple, and when General Mu Yun's men arrested her, I happened to be beside her.

"When I saw Miss Cui for the first time, I was astonished.

"This. The regent is also a man. You know, I couldn't look away when I saw Miss Cui, so I followed her into the South Hall."

Song Zhuoxing grinned "hehe" with a hint of pride and embarrassment in his expression.

Chen Zhan: "."

The room was silent for a few breaths, and Chen Zhan's voice sounded again: "So, on the day of Princess Wang's birthday banquet, you went to Wang Wengan for Cui Hengyue?"

"Yes." After acknowledging his feelings for Cui Hengyue, Song Zhuoxing answered more and more smoothly: "Miss Cui once mentioned to me the Wang family, and she has resentment towards the Wang family.

"It happened that Wang Dalang was in prison, and Mrs. Cui wanted to ridicule Wang Shangshu, so she asked me to call Wang Shangshu out."

Chen Zhan: "Cui Hengyue just wants to ridicule Wang Shangshu?"

Song Zhuoxing's tone was firm: "When they were talking, I was not far away, and I heard a few words. Miss Cui really taunted Wang Shangshu."

After saying this, Song Zhuoxing thought that the regent would intimidate him to make sure he was telling the truth.

In the end, Chen Zhan asked another question: "Do you really like Cui Hengyue?"

"Yes." Song Zhuoxing puffed out his chest.

"You want to marry her?"

"nature."

Chen Zhan sneered, showing contempt on his face: "She is the first daughter of the first family, and her aunt is the empress dowager. The Cui family has all the power in the court. How could you marry her to you, a businessman?"

"Miss Cui is different from those ordinary people. She doesn't care about the difference in status. As long as I treat her sincerely, she will treat me sincerely."

"Really?" Chen Zhan sneered, "You said you are sincere to Cui Hengyue, so are you willing to give up everything for her?"

Song Zhuoxing said firmly, "Of course I would."

"Including life?"

Song Zhuoxing hesitated for a moment: ".As long as I can get Miss Cui's safety, I am willing to give up everything, including my life."

"it is good."

The corners of Chen Zhan's lips rose, and a glimmer of success flashed in his eyes, and he raised his voice to order: "Serve the wine."
