The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 445 Misunderstanding
Facing Xie Yuan's penetrating eyes, Cui Hengyue's heart trembled.

If he saw Wu Yu's face, if she lied, then Xie Yuan would not believe what she said later.

At any rate, she and Xie Yuan had experienced some things together, and he also helped her hide Lu'er's matter, not to mention that they are relatives, as long as she tells the truth, he should help her.

After weighing it in her heart, Cui Hengyue decided to tell the truth: "He is the son of Duke Zhen."

Hearing this answer, Xie Yuan breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously, and his expression eased a lot: "What is he looking for you for?"

There should be something shameful about dressing up as an imperial guard and sneaking in.

Cui Hengyue's heart skipped a beat, she could tell Xie Yuan about Wu Yu's identity, but she couldn't tell Xie Yuan about Wu Yu's real purpose for coming here.

In desperation, Cui Hengyue made a shy look: "Wu Shizi heard that I was injured, he is worried, come and see me"

"Wu Yu has his eyes on you?" Xie Yuan was surprised.

How does this make her answer?

Cui Hengyue was speechless, and her face became even more shy: "I don't know"

Xie Yuan approached suddenly, staring at Cui Hengyue: "Do you like Wu Yu?"

"."

She answered no to this question, and it was no if she didn't answer. Cui Hengyue thought for a while, and then slowly uttered four words: "He is very good."

When Xie Yuan heard it, he seemed shocked, as if he had been hit.

He remembered the time when he first met Cui Hengyue, at that time Cui Hengyue admired Wu Yu very much, now that after such a long time, Cui Hengyue had a close relationship with the little lady Wu Chan from Zhen Guogong's mansion, and she went in and out of Zhen Guogong's mansion more often , it will be a matter of time before she likes Wu Yu.

After all, Wu Yu is too good.

Cui Hengyue knew that Xie Yuan had misunderstood, but she was not prepared to expose it, for Wu Chan's sake, let Xie Yuan misunderstand like this.

"Cousin—"

Cui Hengyue recalled Xie Yuan's mind, and timidly asked: "Wu Shizi entered the palace secretly, can you help me keep this secret, don't tell it?"

Xie Yuan let out a "hum" and didn't say yes or no.

"Thank you, cousin!" Cui Hengyue climbed up the pole, seeing that Xie Yuan didn't refute, she immediately felt relieved.

Unexpectedly, Xie Yuan suddenly became serious, with a warning in his tone: "You should be able to see that His Majesty likes you and has plans to make you his queen.

"If you also like His Majesty, keep a distance from other men and don't associate with them.

"If you don't like His Majesty, then let His Majesty die of this as soon as possible, it will be good for you and His Majesty."

Sure enough, he is His Majesty's good brother, and Cui Hengyue can't help but envy the relationship between them for His Majesty's sake.

"Well, I see, thank you cousin." Cui Hengyue thanked him sincerely.

Seeing that she listened to it, Xie Yuan felt at ease, said "I won't say what happened today", and left the inner room.

Shui Rong walked in and looked at Cui Hengyue worriedly: "Did Guard Xie find something? I think he looked very strange when he came in just now."

Cui Hengyue leaned tiredly on the pillow, her voice was weak: "It's okay, everything is settled."

Thinking that the decree would be issued tomorrow, the queen mother thought twice, and decided to communicate with the emperor first.

So, the queen mother ordered someone to invite the emperor to her palace, turned her back to the left and right, and looked at the emperor kindly: "Before I knew it, my emperor's son has grown up so much, and in the blink of an eye, he has reached the age of marrying a wife and having children.

"As for the choice of queen, does the emperor have any favorites?"

Since the Empress Dowager returned to the old days with the emperor, she was kind and docile, and she was also very kind to Cui Hengyue, so the emperor said without thinking, "I want to make Cui Yuanniang the empress."

Even though she knew the result, the Queen Mother was still very angry when she heard this sentence, but she didn't show it, she smiled a little: "Yuanniang is a good girl, and I like her very much.

"If we can keep her in the palace, the days to come won't be boring.

"but."

The queen mother kept staring at her son when she was talking, and seeing that his eyes showed disappointment and irritability when he heard this, she softened her voice: "Emperor, don't worry, listen to me, I did all this for you.

"I know you want to be in charge as soon as possible, and I want to, so you can't make Yuanniang the queen, but you can make her a concubine, so that she can stay in the palace and accompany you every day."

The emperor was overjoyed: "Do you really mean what mother says?"

"Naturally, when have I lied to you?"

"Great."

The emperor was overjoyed.

Taking advantage of her son's happiness, the Queen Mother continued, "Wu Chan, the daughter of Duke Zhen, is gentle and virtuous. You have seen her a few times in the palace and praised her in front of me.

"I have already informed Zhen Guo Gong, and I will issue an order tomorrow to make Wu Chan the queen, what do you think?"

emperor:"."

Perhaps because he didn't expect his mother to choose the queen so early, the emperor was a little caught off guard: "Can I think about it again?"

"What's there to think about?" The queen mother was in a hurry, walked up to the emperor and sat down, and said in a low voice: "Wu Chan is the daughter of Duke Zhen, who loves her very much and has always regarded her as the apple of his eye.

"As long as Wu Chan becomes the queen, Lord Zhen will use it for you, and then the military power in his hands will also belong to you.

"Don't forget that Lord Zhen Guo was the most valiant general under the King of Chu's command back then, and he was also the person most trusted by the King of Chu. If he supports you, the old troops of the King of Chu will support you.

"When the time comes, if you want to be in charge, even if the regent doesn't agree, he won't be able to do anything to you. Such a good thing, what else do you think?
"It's just a woman. When you secure the throne in the future, you can have whatever kind of woman you want. No one will dare to object to what you want to do."

The emperor was overwhelmed by her words, and nodded like a ghost: "Okay, everything is up to mother's arrangement."

This is her good prince.

The queen mother showed a satisfied look, cared about her son, and asked her son to step down.

Afterwards, she called Shi De again: "What's the matter with the town government's mansion?"

Shi De said respectfully: "Duke Zhen has been staying in the mansion since he left the palace.

"Apart from the servants coming in and out, only Vice Commander Wu is the master of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. However, Vice Commander Wu is here to work in the palace."

The Empress Dowager thought for a while, and then asked, "What did those servants do when they left the palace?"

"Purchase ingredients, fabrics, drinks. They are all daily necessities, and I even invited a doctor."

Speaking of this, Shi De showed a smug look in his eyes: "The people in Zhen Guogong's mansion thought they acted cautiously, and let the doctor of Renchuntang go in pretending to be a servant of the mansion, thinking that no one would find out.

"Fortunately, the people I sent were clever and saw through them right away. After inquiring, I found out that this doctor from Renchuntang is a person who often treats Wu Wuniang."

The doctor who treated Wu Chan?

Is it okay to be sneaky, for fear of being discovered?
The queen mother became vigilant: "You go out of the palace immediately and ask the doctor in Renchun Hall how Wu Chan's health is."

At the end, he solemnly told him: "Keep this matter secret, you go alone."
