The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 475 It's Not True
His scarlet eyes and protruding veins all showed his anger.

After decades of husband and wife, Mrs. Cui naturally knew that Cui Quan was really angry, but she was even more angry than him in her heart, and she never thought that the murderous look in his eyes was for a bastard.

Mrs. Cui was disheartened, and her tone was indifferent: "The antidote has been thrown away."

"You..." Cui Quan exerted strength in his hand, but he didn't dare to make a real move, he gritted his teeth and said, "Where did you throw it?"

Seeing that something was wrong with her father, the queen mother walked over and grabbed her father's hand: "Father, this is the imperial palace, let go of mother."

It seemed that his daughter's words worked. Cui Quan let go of his wife's arm, and stared at her coldly: "Where did you throw the antidote?"

"Ah--"

There was a sneer in the hall, and Mrs. Cui showed a sneer: "Since I have decided to kill that evil, how can I leave the antidote?"

"you"

Hearing this, Cui Quan's eyes showed murderous intent, and he stretched out his hand to attack Mrs. Cui's neck.

"Fourth is dead, you don't even want to live!"

"Father."

The queen mother was shocked and hurried to save her mother.

At this time, a figure suddenly appeared at the door, "Grandfather, what are you doing?"

Cui Quan turned his head back, hurriedly let go, and saluted: "I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

"Boom-"

Mrs. Cui fell down on the cold floor tiles at the right time.

"Mother--"

"Grandma—"

The queen mother got close, helped Mrs. Cui, and checked her neck with concern: "Mother, are you all right?"

Mrs. Cui shook her head slightly and winked at her.

The queen mother glanced at the approaching emperor, and swallowed the next words in her stomach.

Before the emperor could speak, Mrs. Cui pushed her daughter's hand away and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, don't worry, my wife is fine."

The emperor looked at Mrs. Cui's neck, turned to Cui Quan, and asked: "What did my grandmother do to anger you, and you want to kill her?"

"she"

Cui Quan suddenly couldn't speak.

There was silence in the hall for a while, and the emperor suddenly sneered: "It's just killing a bastard, is it worth grandfather's anger?"

This sounds indifferent, but there is nothing abnormal in a big family.

But
Before Cui Quan could refute, the emperor said to Mrs. Cui: "Grandmother, she is just a disobedient bastard. Why do you do it yourself? Just give me an order, and I will kill him for you."

"You can't kill him, he is your own"

In desperation, Cui Quan almost uttered the truth, but fortunately he reacted in time and closed his mouth.

The emperor suddenly darkened his face: "What is it?"

Cui Quan didn't dare to look him in the eyes, and guiltily turned away his face: "It's nothing."

This action of his made the emperor's heart cold. He suppressed the anger in his heart and said word by word: "So they are right. My biological father is not the first emperor, but the fourth master of the Cui family, right?"

Everyone was shocked.

Cui Quan and his wife hurriedly looked outside the door, and seeing Nanny Gui guarding there dutifully, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The Queen Mother swayed and almost lost her footing. No wonder. He didn't salute her when he came in just now. So he knew
"Your Majesty, this is not true."

Cui Quan reacted quickly, walked to the emperor in a hurry, and explained softly: "Your Majesty, you are going to be in charge, but there are still many voices of opposition in the court. This is a rumor they made to drive a wedge between you and the Cui family. You must not fell into their trap."

Trap?
He also thought about this question, after all, he is no longer a child, he can think.

The emperor said blankly: "Since it's not true, let fourth uncle enter the palace and have his blood tested."

"No--"

Cui Quan, his wife and the Queen Mother said in unison.

What is it if this is not a guilty conscience?
The emperor's heart became cold, but he was still unwilling: "Why not?"

The other three looked at each other, as if they had reached some tacit agreement, Cui Quan stood up and explained: "Your Majesty, these are rumors targeting you and Mrs. Cui with ulterior motives. At this time, the fourth son is called into the palace. Right in their arms, this is absolutely impossible.

"Your Majesty, you don't think about Cui Shi, you should also think about Jiangshan Sheji."

The emperor was silent.

"King Rui."

There was a commotion outside, and everyone in the hall immediately looked at the door, only to see King Rui in brocade attire pushing aside Nanny Gui who was blocking the way, and strode in.

"I have seen Your Majesty, Queen Mother."

Cui Quan and his wife quickly saluted King Rui, wondering what King Rui meant by coming here at this time.

"What about King Rui?"

King Rui directly ignored Cui Quan's temptation, and looked straight at the Queen Mother: "The auspicious time has come, why are the Queen Mother and Your Majesty still here? The ministers have been waiting for a long time."

Hearing this, everyone realized that it was time to start the banquet.

The Queen Mother cleared her throat as a cover-up: "Ahem, my parents and I haven't seen each other for a long time, and it's been so long without paying attention. Okay, let's all go."

After finishing speaking, she tidied up her clothes and walked out of the hall.

The emperor frowned, but said nothing, and walked out.

Cui Quan secretly rejoiced that with King Rui interfering, he would have enough time to find a suitable reason to deal with the emperor's interrogation.

In the spacious and luxurious palace, the emperor and a group of ministers talked and laughed, toasted and drank, without any trace of the previous anger.

The queen mother was absent-mindedly dealing with those wives who flattered her, all she could think about was how to deal with the next situation.

So is Cui Quan.

Cui Hengyue obediently sat next to Mrs. Cui, eating something from time to time, and quietly observing the people in the hall.

"His Majesty."

The Empress Dowager stood up suddenly, put her hand on her forehead, her cheeks flushed slightly: "I'm too strong to drink, so I'm going back to the palace first."

Mrs. Cui walked over immediately, supported the queen mother, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, my wife will send the queen mother back to the palace."

After finishing speaking, he saluted according to the rules, and then left with the help of the Queen Mother.

The queen mother would leave the palace banquet early on weekdays, so everyone didn't take it seriously, only King Rui lingered on her back for a moment longer when the queen mother left.

Not long after, the emperor also left the banquet with the excuse of being too drunk. After he left, the princes left one after another.

All the ministers were free from restraint, and drank freely, feeling very uncomfortable.

At this time, the harem was very solemn.

"Have you made up the story yet?"

The emperor's indifferent words made Cui Quan feel stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say the reason he had thought up.

There was a dead silence in the hall.

A trace of self-mockery emerged from the corner of the emperor's mouth, and his eyes turned cold and cold: "The Cui family is the first family, with a prominent position, a clean family style, respected by the people, and highly regarded by the royal family.

"Gu didn't expect Cui's family to be so unbearable in private, even..."

His face was full of disappointment: "Brothers and sisters."

Knowing the son is not like the mother, lest he say outrageous words, the queen mother couldn't help interrupting him: "Your Majesty be careful, the Cui family is pure and innocent, and there has never been anything that corrupts morality."

"is it?"

Distrustful in his heart, the emperor retorted subconsciously, but suddenly reacted: "You mean I am not your son?"

Outside the door, King Rui stopped in his tracks, and signaled for the guards to take Nanny Gui and the others down.

He pricked up his ears and continued to listen to the people inside.
