The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 442
In order not to make people suspicious, Imperial Physician He did not stay in the inner room for too long. After making an appointment with Cui Hengyue to continue tomorrow, he left with the medicine box.

Of course, he had to report to the emperor.

After Imperial Physician He left, Shui Rong entered the inner room and asked Cui Hengyue, "Did Doctor He say so?"

"Tell me a little bit." Cui Hengyue lay on the bed and said softly.

Shui Rong glanced outside, then knelt down beside the bed, deliberately lowered her voice: "You have met with Imperial Physician He three times before he is willing to tell you the truth.

"This Imperial Physician He is very suspicious."

Cui Hengyue took it very seriously: "After experiencing what happened to Imperial Physician Zhen, everyone in the Imperial Hospital has become cautious and will not talk too much easily, so there is nothing wrong with Imperial Physician He.

"If the Queen Mother hadn't beaten me severely, I'm afraid Imperial Physician He would not have confessed to me so quickly."

No wonder Yuanniang didn't resist. It turned out that it was to convince Imperial Physician He that Yuanniang and the Queen Mother were not the same.

Shui Rong glanced at Cui Hengyue's back, and couldn't help admiring Cui Hengyue in her heart. Although this girl looks young, once she has a goal in her heart, she will not waver. She is ruthless to others and even more ruthless to herself.

"Although Zhen Jiu helped you, you don't need to do this for him. Look at you, the old wounds haven't healed yet, and new wounds are added.

"Not only Zhen Jiu, but you also promised Su Langjun and Li Niangzi, so you are not tired after so many things together?"

Tired?

Naturally, it is tiring, physically and mentally exhausted.

If possible, she just wants to stay with her master and practice hard.

However.
Cui Hengyue sighed deeply: "Don't talk about it, I promised them that I will naturally do it.

"Actually, I think their affairs are manipulated by the same person behind the scenes, at least they are related."

Shui Rong was shocked: "The person behind the scenes is the same person? What evidence do you have?"

"intuition."

Hearing this answer, Shui Rong felt speechless.

After a while of silence, just when Shui Rong thought Cui Hengyue had fallen asleep, Cui Hengyue suddenly said: "You have stayed in the palace before, so you must know some people.

"In the past few days, you should go out more often and help me find out."

Shui Rong wrote down silently, ordered Ju Hong to take good care of Cui Hengyue, and left the palace.

In the days that followed, the palace seemed to be calm on the surface.

The Empress Dowager would send people to visit Cui Hengyue every day to deliver some supplements, and occasionally summoned Imperial Physician He to inquire about Cui Hengyue's injuries.

The emperor would visit Cui Hengyue several times a day, but most of the time Cui Hengyue was sleeping, and occasionally when he was awake, and could not say a few words, Cui Hengyue would shirk his exhaustion and drive the emperor away if he wanted to rest.

After the queen mother found out, she felt a little more comfortable, but she still didn't like Cui Hengyue.

Princess Huayu went to the palace to visit the queen mother every day, but she really wanted to trouble Cui Hengyue, but was stopped by the emperor, and rumors began to spread in the palace that Cui Hengyue would be the future queen.

After the morning court that day, the Empress Dowager summoned the Regent: "Your Majesty is not young, it's time to establish a queen, what do you think the Regent thinks?"

The rumors in the palace also reached the regent's ears. Chen Zhan had thought about this matter a long time ago, so when the Queen Mother asked, he calmly replied: "In my opinion, the girl from the Xie family is pretty good."

Xie Shi?

Isn't that my sister-in-law's natal home?
The Xie family and the Cui family are relatives by marriage, and the royal family and the Xie family have not received any new support. Does he not want the emperor to receive new support by admonishing him so?
The queen mother couldn't figure out the real intention of the regent, so she said slowly: "The oldest unmarried girl in Xie's generation is only 13 years old, a little younger."

Is this trying to settle down and get married?Chen Zhan guessed in his heart.

"It doesn't matter if you're young, it's the same to settle down first, and get married after two years." Chen Zhan said calmly.

The queen mother choked up in her heart, she was silent for a moment, and said tentatively: "I want the emperor to get married this year."

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

Facing Chen Zhan's penetrating eyes, the queen mother's heart froze, and she started to get nervous: "I"

Thinking of Chen Zhan's power and status today, the Queen Mother was heartbroken, and she simply told the truth: "Oh, I won't hide it from you now.

"It's like this. Huang'er has taken a fancy to Cui Hengyue and intends to make her queen, so I want to make a marriage for Huang'er as soon as possible, so that he can stop thinking about it as soon as possible."

Chen Zhan's eyes moved slightly: "Cui Hengyue is the eldest daughter of your Cui family, and also the first daughter, why don't you want to fulfill His Majesty?"

What does this mean?
Are you testing her?

When did he start talking around the bush?

The Queen Mother's heart sank uncontrollably, and she dealt with him calmly: "Prince Regent, what you said is meaningless.

"You think Cui Shi is covering the sky with one hand in the court, and wants to weaken Cui Shi's power, or find someone to check and balance Cui Shi, this matter is tacitly understood by everyone.

"Now I don't choose the queen from the Cui family, isn't it just to take care of you?"

Chen Zhan didn't answer, he lowered his head to hold the teacup and took a sip.

Seeing this, the Empress Dowager didn't push her too hard, and asked in a discussing tone: "What do you think of Wu Chan from Zhen Guo Gong's Mansion?"

"Wu Wuniang?" Chen Zhan was a little surprised.

"Yes."

Seeing his doubts, the queen mother explained: "Duke Zhen used to be a subordinate of the King of Chu and was loyal to him, but after 15 years, no one knows what Duke Zhen thinks.

"Should I still support the king of Chu, or should I abandon the dark and turn to the bright, and be loyal to the royal family?
"Wu Chan is the legitimate daughter of Duke Zhen, not to mention that she is the first-class in the capital in terms of temperament and appearance, but her family background is also worthy of my emperor's son.

"If you can marry Wu Chan as the queen for the emperor's son, then the military power in Duke Zhen's hands can be transferred to the royal family. Even though Duke Zhen supported the King of Chu in the past, as long as Wu Chan enters the palace, they will have to take Wu Chan into consideration in the future. And return to the royal family.

"In this way, even if the king of Chu wants to make a comeback, he has no chance."

After finishing speaking, the queen mother restrained her anxiety and looked at Chen Zhan expectantly: "What does the regent think?"

"Uh..." Chen Zhan thought for a while, "Although the King of Chu swore that he would never enter the capital, I have never trusted him for so many years.

"If he has a different heart, His Majesty's throne will be handed over sooner or later.

"If it can weaken the power of the King of Chu, this marriage is not impossible."

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager was overjoyed, but she didn't show it on her face: "I think so too. Since the regent agrees, I will call the Duke of Zhen into the palace."

Chen Zhan leaned back on the chair with a relaxed expression: "Then I'll wait for him here."

The queen mother immediately ordered someone to pass on the news to Duke Zhen.

Not long after, Wu Rongling, the Lord of Zhen Guo, was called into the palace: "I pay my respects to the Queen Mother."

Seeing Chen Zhan at the side, Wu Rongling saluted again: "I have seen the regent."

"You don't need to be too polite, just sit down." The queen mother kindly greeted Wu Rongling to sit down, and ordered someone to serve hot tea and pastries.

Wu Rongling thanked him again, and then showed a sincere and fearful expression: "I don't know if the queen mother has summoned the ministers, what orders do you have?"

The queen mother and the regent looked at each other, and then said: "Your Majesty is fifteen, and it's time to get married. The regent and I think your daughter Wu Niang is very good. We want to marry Wu Niang for the emperor's son. What do you think?"

Wu Rongling's face changed drastically: "It's my daughter's honor to be favored by the Queen Mother and the Regent.

"It's just that the little girl has always been stubborn, and I'm afraid that it will be difficult for me to take on a big responsibility. I also ask the queen mother to take back her order."

The Empress Dowager immediately put on a stern face, and said in a cold tone, "You don't think much of my son?"

"I dare not, and I have no such intention." Wu Rongling quickly explained.

Unfortunately, the Empress Dowager did not allow him to refuse, and said coldly: "I am not discussing this matter with you, but just letting you know.

"Back off, go back and wait for the order."
