The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 403
The moment the regent ordered to serve wine, Song Zhuoxing wondered: Could it be that he wants to drink with him?
This situation is a little unclear.
However, when Song Zhuoxing saw Jiang Chen coming in with only a glass of wine, his heart sank immediately.

Couldn't that glass of wine be poisoned?

He was doubtful in his heart, but Chen Zhan's words confirmed his guess.

"You said that you are willing to give up everything, including your life, for Cui Hengyue. There is no basis for your words. Here is a glass of poisoned wine. After drinking it, you will definitely die within a stick of incense.

"If you drink this glass of poisoned wine, I believe that you are sincere to Cui Hengyue."

Song Zhuoxing stared at the poisoned wine, his heart was full of emotions.

After a few breaths, he faced Chen Zhan calmly: "May I ask the regent, what capacity do you use to do this? Is it the status of Cui's in-laws?"

"Why, don't you dare? Or were you lying just now?" Chen Zhan said provocatively.

Speaking of this, it is impossible not to drink.

If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get a tiger cub. This is the path he chose, and he must go on.

Song Zhuoxing slowly picked up his wine glass, with a firm expression on his face: "I am a businessman, but I want to marry the eldest daughter of the Cui family. In your opinion, this is pretentious and delusional.

"But in my opinion, status and status are all illusions, and only true love can last forever.

"I drank this cup of poisoned wine today, and I asked the regent to let Miss Cui go, and not to embarrass her in the future.

"Also ask the Regent to spare my people and let them send my body back to Youzhou."

Chen Zhan said blankly, "Okay, I will help you."

Song Zhuoxing seemed relieved, raised his head and drank the poisoned wine without hesitation.

Jiang Chen who was standing beside him was stunned: This kid... actually drank it!

At this moment, Jiang Chen admired Song Zhuoxing, the son of a merchant.

Chen Zhan's face also changed, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: he was really young and frivolous, and he gave up his life for a girl.

"puff--"

A mouthful of blood spurted out, and the wine glass fell out of his hand and shattered into pieces.

Song Zhuoxing raised his hand to wipe the corner of his mouth, looked at the black blood on his fingertips, and suddenly smiled.

Just when Chen Zhan was puzzled, Song Zhuoxing suddenly asked, "What else does the Regent want to ask? If you don't ask again, you won't have a chance after a stick of incense."

With mixed feelings in his heart, Chen Zhan raised his heavy hand and waved it.

Jiang Chen immediately stepped forward to help Song Zhuoxing: "Mr. Song Xiaolang, I will take you out."

Song Zhuoxing avoided his hand, turned around and walked out.

Looking at the bowl of black porridge on the table that gave off a strange smell, Shui Rong's face turned ashen.

For a dignified royal family member, they are only given a bowl of porridge for meals, what a deception!
Although they are under house arrest here, the case has not been revealed. They are not assassins, let alone prisoners.

"Yuan Niang." Shui Rong hesitated to speak.

Cui Hengyue stared at the bowl of porridge, and suddenly smiled: "Yesterday it was still delicious food, but today there is only one bowl of porridge. Who do you think made it?"

Shui Rong was woken up and said in surprise, "It's Princess Huayu."

That's right, the people of the Prince Regent's Mansion treated them like guests yesterday, but after Princess Huayu came to provoke them today, they became like this. It was clearly Princess Huayu who was taking revenge on Yuanniang.

"Let's go."

Cui Hengyue got up and walked out.

Shui Rong regained her composure and hurried to catch up: "Yuanniang, where are we going?"

"Rub the meal."

When they reached the gate of the courtyard, the two were stopped by guards.

"Stop, you can't go out?"

Cui Hengyue's expression remained unchanged, and she said calmly: "The king of Changshan County said that I can live here with peace of mind, but he didn't say that I can't leave the courtyard."

The guard was choked, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

Sure enough, it was a wild girl from the mountains. The princess was assassinated. As the biggest suspect, she was naturally imprisoned.

The king of the county said that, just for the sake of Cui Shi's face, he was being polite, but she was holding chicken feathers as arrows, which was too arrogant.

The guard yelled back: "The county king didn't say you could leave the yard."

"Okay, let's go and ask Changshan County King, can I leave the courtyard?" Cui Hengyue said in a favorable manner.

"no."

The guard flatly refused, but was pulled aside by his companions.

"She is the savior of the king of the county. The king of the county treats her unusually. If it is found out that she is not an assassin, we are the ones who have suffered the crime. Why don't we let her go."

Hearing what his companion said, the guard thought about it, and walked back: "Go in and wait, I'll ask the county king for instructions."

"No need, let's go together." Cui Hengyue stepped over the threshold and quickly passed them.

"Hey, you"

The guards turned pale with fright and hurriedly chased after him.

"stop."

There was a commotion outside the door, Chen Linshen showed displeasure, and was about to scold, when Cui Hengyue barged in.

"Mrs. Cui's Yuan has met the King of Changshan County." Cui Hengyue saluted politely.

Gu Yuan rushed in, "Putong" knelt down: "Forgive me, the king, my subordinates failed to stop Miss Cui, I deserve death."

"It's not their fault, it's because I walked too fast." Cui Hengyue interrupted Gu Yuan.

Seeing that the guards guarding her finally chased to the door, she said to Chen Linshen: "Your Majesty, you once said that you would let me live here with peace of mind. I wonder if I can go out of the courtyard and see the beautiful scenery of the Prince Regent's Mansion?"

Chen Linshen glanced at the panting guard outside the door, and he understood a little bit, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Of course, you and Sanniang are guests of the Prince Regent's Mansion."

Hearing this, the guards guarding Cui Hengyue immediately lowered their heads, as if they had done something wrong.

"Okay, you all go down."

Chen Linshen sent the guards away, and seeing Cui Hengyue's gaze fell on the meal on the table, he said: "Since Yuan Niang is here, please eat with me."

"Then I won't be polite." Cui Hengyue sat down immediately.

Chen Linshen ordered people to add more bowls and chopsticks, and ordered people to order the kitchen to add more meals.

Looking at the exquisite food on the table, Cui Hengyue couldn't help sighing: "As expected of being a member of the royal family, the meals served are so exquisite and delicious."

After the words fell, he ate unceremoniously.

She moves gracefully and eats slowly, as usual.

Chen Linshen, however, was full of doubts, and went to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing: "Yuan Niang, what is the purpose of you coming here?"

Cui Hengyue chewed the meat in her mouth carefully, and after swallowing it, she answered Chen Linshen's question: "It's nothing, I just came to see you."

Hearing this, Chen Linshen subconsciously felt happy, but he quickly calmed down and winked at Song Mu who was standing by.

Pine then quietly left the dining room.

After the meal, Cui Hengyue asked a few words about the Princess Regent's situation before leaving.

After a while, Song Mu came back and said: "Jun Wang, Miss Cui came here because the kitchen only sent her a bowl of porridge, and it was moldy and rotten porridge."

Hearing this, Chen Linshen was furious: "They are so brave, they dare to treat Miss Cui like this."

Seeing that Chen Linshen stood up and seemed to be going to the kitchen, Song Mu hurriedly explained: "Prince, the people in the kitchen also obeyed the order of the princess."

Chen Linshen paused and remained silent for a few breaths. He ordered: "Cui Yuanniang is my guest in the kitchen. Anyone who dares to neglect her will be severely punished."

"Yes." Pine led the way and left.

At this moment, Princess Huayu was sitting triumphantly in the room, waiting for the good news.

Unexpectedly, the servant girl sent out came back and reported: "Princess, Cui Yuanniang went to the county king. The county king already knew about this and sent an order to the kitchen. Anyone who dares to neglect Cui Yuanniang will be severely punished."

"what?"

Princess Huayu stood up angrily and cursed: "Demon girl!"
