The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 476 Candid
There was a faint movement in the distance, it seemed to be the sound of silk and bamboo, but it didn't seem to be.

Nanny Gui and Nanny You were held to their necks with a knife by the guards, they didn't dare to make a sound, they looked at each other and sighed helplessly.

Going to change
"So far, we have nothing to hide."

"The Queen Mother—"

In the hall, Cui Quan and his wife wanted to stop the queen mother, but the queen mother said to them: "Father, mother, the matter has come to an end, instead of letting your majesty fall into their trap and have a grudge against our Cui family, it is better for us to be honest and tell your majesty the truth." .”

Yeah, it's a trap.

Cui Quan and his wife were silent.

"Yes, you are indeed not my biological son."

For some reason, the emperor couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this sentence. If he wasn't the queen mother's son, it meant that the Cui brothers and sisters had no personal relationship.

The Empress Dowager's voice sounded again, and the emperor quickly gathered his thoughts and listened carefully.

"Back then, the first emperor died suddenly, with no children under his knees, the government was in turmoil, the country was unstable, and the people's livelihood was precarious. Fortunately, I still had a child in my womb."

The Empress Dowager looked solemn, as if she had returned to the year when the ministers criticized her: "But the late emperor passed away, and the court cannot be without a master for a day, so I came forward and asked King Rui to preside over the overall situation.

"King Rui is benevolent. Regardless of the remonstrance of the ministers, he insisted that the heir of the previous emperor should be the main heir. He said that as long as I give birth to a son of the emperor, he will be made the new emperor."

Speaking of this, she sighed deeply, with a sad expression: "It's a pity that I gave birth to a daughter.

"In order to stabilize the court and avoid turmoil, I took the risk and exchanged my daughter for the fourth son's son."

The emperor was silent.

No wonder he made an engagement with Cui Si's daughter as soon as he was born, no wonder they didn't allow him to marry Cui's daughter, it turned out to be like this
"Clap--"

Accompanied by loud clapping, King Rui strode into the hall with the surprise and anger on his face when he first learned the truth: "It's a civet cat for the prince!"

"King Rui!"

Everyone was shocked, especially the Queen Mother, her hands couldn't help shaking: "When did you come?"

How much did you hear again?

King Rui pushed away Cui Quan, who was protecting the Queen Mother, and stared at the Queen Mother with sharp eyes: "You have lied to me so well that you have lied to me for so many years."

"Listen to my explanation" the queen mother dared not look him in the eyes, she looked at her feet and said.

But King Rui interrupted her roughly: "There is no need to make up lies anymore, I just ask you, where is your daughter? Where is she now?"

"Her" Queen Mother lowered her head: "She's dead"

When King Rui heard this, his figure seemed to shake a bit. He suppressed the anger in his heart and said expressionlessly, "When?"

"Ten Years Ago"

Rui Wang turned and left.

The others panicked.

"Father, what should I do?" The queen mother looked at Cui Quan helplessly, seeking refuge as she did when she was a child.

Cui Quan's eyes suddenly became dark and cruel: "The matter has come to this, there is no other way, only"

The queen mother understood, but she was terrified in her heart: "But, he is so powerful."

"At this time, I have no choice but to put all my eggs in one basket. You stay here and don't wander around. I'll ask Cui Zhiwen to come and protect you."

After Cui Quan finished speaking, he walked out, but just as he walked out the door, he retreated back.

"Father."

The queen mother was wondering, when she saw the knife on her father's neck, she was shocked: "Come here——"

Cui Quan retreated into the hall, and everyone finally saw clearly who was holding him.

"Yuan Niang? What are you doing?"

Seeing the person clearly, Mrs. Cui's face suddenly darkened, and she was even more surprised when she saw the person who came in after her: "Xie Yuan, why did you let Yuan Niang do this?"

There were not many people standing behind Cui Hengyue, only Xie Yuan and six imperial guards, but it was more than enough to deal with them.

The queen mother's face was gloomy, and she still shouted outside: "Come here——"

"There's no need to shout, it's all my people outside." Cui Hengyue turned his wrist and inserted the knife back into the scabbard at Xie Yuan's waist.

At this time, the emperor had sorted out his situation from the chaotic thoughts, and snapped: "Cui Yuanniang, it's your own grandfather who is holding an important court official in the palace, what are you trying to do?
"Do you want to rebel?"

Cui Quan and his wife and the Queen Mother didn't speak any more, but the way they looked at Cui Hengyue was clearly the way they looked at a traitor.

"Ha ha--"

Cui Hengyue suddenly laughed: "Your Majesty is serious, how can I, a little lady, rebel? I just want to ask the Queen Mother about something."

The Empress Dowager was still sullen: "I want to ask me why there is such a big fight? Just come to my palace and tell me, what do you want to do?"

"I said, I just want to ask the Queen Mother a few questions."

Cui Hengyue slowly walked up to the Queen Mother, looking straight into her eyes: "Who poisoned my aunt to death?"

Upon hearing the word "poison", the Empress Dowager's expression changed, but soon she regained her majestic expression: "Concubine Rong died of illness."

"Ming people don't speak dark words. Since I can find out that my aunt died of poisoning, I know who the murderer is behind this scene. I just want to hear the answer with my own ears."

Cui Hengyue stared at the queen mother with deep hatred in her eyes.

The Queen Mother realized that this little lady whom she had never paid attention to was far more powerful than she imagined.

No, Cui Hengyue, a little lady, couldn't find out the truth back then, it was the king of Chu behind her who did it.

That's right, it's King Chu, he's back.

The queen mother couldn't help trembling, and looked at the people behind Cui Hengyue, only to find that there were a few familiar faces among the so-called imperial guards.

"you you"

Seeing that the queen mother recognized him, Xie Yu stopped hiding and took a step forward with a sarcasm on his lips: "Why, are you surprised to see me? Do you think I'm really dead?"

"It's you!"

After Cui Quan was surprised, he wanted to call someone but suddenly realized that the outside world was out of his control. He tried to calm himself down: "What are you doing in the palace?"

"Don't worry, I'm not here to look for your Cui family." Xie Yu retreated to his original position after speaking, and glanced at the palace door from the corner of his eyes.

Why hasn't it appeared yet?

"Stop talking nonsense and answer my question." Cui Hengyue's voice brought everyone back to their thoughts.

After such an interruption, the Queen Mother calmed down, and said with a blank expression: "Concubine Rong died of illness, I don't know about the rest."

"is it?"

Cui Hengyue did not hide her sarcasm, and after skipping over Cui Quan and his wife, she stayed on the queen mother's charming face: "Is the fourth uncle dying of poisoning?"

Everyone was surprised, before they had time to react, they heard Cui Hengyue say: "We know who poisoned the fourth uncle."

When she said this, Cui Hengyue glanced at Mrs. Cui, everyone's hearts tightened, and they heard her say: "The poison my aunt got in those days is the same as the poison my fourth uncle has now.

"This poison is rare, ordinary people can't get it, only the Cui family has it.

"Grandfather, grandmother, aunt, am I right?"

The faces of the three sank, unable to refute.

However, when the emperor heard this moment, he couldn't bear it any longer. He rushed to the queen mother and complained angrily, "You want to kill people to silence them?"
