The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 406 The Intention
"Your Majesty!"

Faced with his grandfather's stern shout, Cui Hengyue just saluted him as usual: "Yuanniang pays respects to grandfather."

How dare you disobey his orders?
Cui Quan's face became more and more gloomy, and he shouted again: "I tell you to kneel down."

Cui Yongzong happened to be in the study, seeing this scene, he persuaded in a low voice: "Yuanniang, hurry up and kneel down, your grandfather is not in good health, don't make him angry."

With a rosy complexion and a voice like a bell, she is obviously in good health. Does the uncle want her to bear the name of unfilial piety by saying this?
Cui Hengyue straightened her back, her figure was like a tall and straight pine cypress: "Grandpa is my close relative and elder, so naturally I dare not disobey your orders.

"It's just that my granddaughter has the guts to ask, why do you make me kneel?"

Dare to question him?
Cui Quan stood up angrily: "You made a big mistake, I just punished you to kneel down, this is already the lightest punishment."

"What's wrong with my granddaughter?"

"You stabbed the regent princess and implicated the Yasukuni government, isn't that right?"

Hearing this, Cui Hengyue's pent-up anger burst out all of a sudden: "I have already told my second uncle and first aunt the truth, and my grandfather must already know it well.

"What's more, even the regent didn't convict me, who dares to spit out people saying that I'm an assassin?"

Actually scolded him for spitting blood?
Cui Quan was so angry that his face turned blue, he pointed at Cui Hengyue and cursed: "Presumptuous."

Cui Hengyue didn't want to get entangled with him any longer, so he interrupted him directly: "People outside only know that the Princess Regent was assassinated and injured, but they don't know who the assassin is, and no one guesses that the assassin is a member of the Yasukuni Mansion, so how could they implicate the Yasukuni Mansion? "

"You were taken away by the Prince Regent's Mansion under the watchful eyes of everyone. Someone with a heart will definitely use this to make a fuss. In the end, the Yasukuni Mansion was not the one that got involved." Cui Quan snorted coldly.

Not to be outdone, Cui Hengyue fought back: "It's just a few gossips, the Cui family is the number one family, so why be afraid of rumors?

"What's more, I have returned to the government now, and the regent has already cleared me. This matter has nothing to do with the Cui family."

Cui Quan was stunned for a moment: "Regent really let you come back?"

"Of course it's the Prince Regent's order, otherwise I wouldn't be able to leave the Palace of the Prince Regent." Cui Hengyue didn't change expression.

Cui Yongzong asked, "Where's Sanniang? She's back too?"

Cui Hengyue was stunned.

Yes, what about San Niang?

It seems that Jiang Chen didn't tell Sanniang to come back.
"The princess is Sanniang's biological aunt. The princess was injured, and Sanniang was very worried, so she stayed in the Regent's Palace to take care of the princess."

Cui Hengyue changed the subject: "However, if grandfather wants Sanniang to come back, he can send someone to pick her up tomorrow."

This matter has nothing to do with Sanniang, the regent even let her go, so how could he not let Sanniang go?
Cui Quan was silent.

This matter is very strange.

After pondering for a while, Cui Quan suddenly said, "Tell me about the princess's injury in detail."

".Yes."

Cui Hengyue said this matter many times, but she really didn't want to say it, but seeing Cui Quan insisted, she said it again.

After Cui Quan heard this, he asked Cui Hengyue to go back to the yard without saying anything.

When there were only father and son left in the room, Cui Quan asked the eldest son, "What do you think?"

Cui Yongzong pondered for a while: "I think that since the regent released Yuanniang, it means that he already believes that Yuanniang is not an assassin.

"This is a good thing for us, at least Cui will not be involved in this matter."

Wait, something doesn't seem right.

Cui Yongzong paused, as if he had thought of something, his eyes sparkled: "Father, Yuan Niang just said why Chen Shizi doubted her, don't you think what Chen Shizi said is quite right?"

Cui Quan was aroused and asked, "Which sentence?"

"Chen Shizi said that if the short arrow came in from the window, the person who was shot should be Yuanniang based on the size of the window. But Yuanniang said that the princess left her position at that time and was beside Yuanniang, so Yuanniang threw her down. It was only by accident that the princess was hit by an arrow."

Before the eldest son finished speaking, Cui Quan understood what he meant: "You mean that the original intention of the assassin was to kill Yuanniang?"

"Yes." Cui Yongzong nodded heavily.

The expressions of the two suddenly became serious.

Cui Quan couldn't help guessing: "Could it be Yuanniang's enemy?"

"She is a little girl, she has been living in Yunxuan Temple before, how can she have any enemies?" Cui Yongzong continued: "This person should be targeting our Cui family."

Cui Quan thought of the person who was suspicious at first again: "Could it be that bastard Wang Wengan?"

Wang Wengan?
Cui Yongzong frowned slightly: "If he wants to frame Yuan Niang and implicate the Cui family with this, he will underestimate the Cui family and the regent.

"Let's not talk about whether the regent can find out the truth, even if Yuanniang stabbed the concubine, we just need to abandon the pawns to protect the commander, and Yuanniang can keep the Cui family safe.

"So I don't think the person behind this incident will be Wang Wenqian."

If it wasn't Wang Wengan, who would it be?

Cui Quan suddenly felt that since he recovered from the poisoning, his brain was not as good as before, and he couldn't figure out the key point after thinking about it for a long time.

Suddenly, Cui Yongzong's eyes lit up: "What if someone wants to kill Yuan Niang?"

Cui Quan's eyes widened, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the eldest son's guess was the truth.

"Tell me, who would want to kill Yuanniang to silence her? What secret does Yuanniang know?" Cui Quan's doubts deepened.

Cui Yongzong sat down and analyzed in his mouth: "Yuanniang has been living in Yunxuan Temple before, is it the secret of Yunxuan Temple? But, what secrets can Yunxuan Temple have?

"If it was really the secret of Yunxuan Temple, the king of Chu would have silenced her long ago, so why wait until today?

"If it wasn't for the secret of Yunxuan Temple, Yuanniang would go down the mountain and return to Beijing with Changshan County King until she returned to the Jingguo Mansion, wouldn't it be...
"No, no, it can't be about the secret of Changshan County King, otherwise, Changshan County King would have killed her long ago on the way back to Beijing.

"That is"

Cui Yongzong's eyes widened and he looked at his father, but he saw that his father seemed to think the same as him, looking over in astonishment.

"The secret of the Yasukuni Mansion." The two said in unison.

However, at the next moment, Cui Yongzong denied his guess: "Impossible, how long has she been back, besides, the people she contacts every day are only people in the mansion, even the people in the mansion don't know, how could she know?

"If she knew, how could there be no movement? With her temperament, she would have gone to look for Lao San long ago, and it's impossible for us not to hear anything."

Makes sense.

Cui Quan nodded slightly, feeling that the eldest son's analysis was logical.

"Why did the people behind the scenes want to kill Cui Hengyue?"

The two were lost in thought.

Here, the father and son worked together to guess the identity and motive of the assassin, while Cui Hengyue had already returned to Jinglanyuan, explained a few words to the people in Jinglanyuan, and then entered his bedroom.

"Yuan Niang, what are you looking for? Tell me, and I'll help you find it." Shui Fu followed Cui Hengyue step by step.

"No, I'll find it myself."

Cui Hengyue rejected her offer, while muttering "I obviously put it here", while rummaging through the box.

After searching for a while, she finally found what she was looking for, Cui Hengyue picked it up and walked out.

Shui Rong hurriedly stopped her: "Are you going to deliver medicine to Mr. Song Xiaolang?"

Shui Fu was confused and asked, "Mr. Song Xiaolang was injured? How could he be injured? Was the injury serious?"

No one paid her any attention.

However, Cui Hengyue calmed down and told them: "Time is running out, I have to go.

"In this way, if you stay here, if someone comes to me, find a way to send it away, and if you can't, then find a way to delay it.

"I'll be back as soon as possible."

After giving the order, he went out through the window.
