Chapter 241 Don’t you ask him?

Chu Yan's words were spoken carelessly. Zhao Shu's hand fell on the armrest of the chair, and she felt a fine pain permeate her whole body, spreading from her limbs and bones.

"Your Highness, what are you going to do with his body?"

The tip of her tongue gently touched the roof of her mouth, and the sound of her swallowing saliva echoed in the silence. She had nothing left, nothing left.

"Ji Honghai died unjustly. Even though the mastermind behind the scenes was the empress, he did many things to harm the people and officials. According to the laws of Dashuo, he is not allowed to enter the grave after his death."

Cheng Chong, who was standing aside, said something, and Zhao Shu suddenly raised her head to look: "Mass grave?"

"Yes."

After receiving Cheng Chong's affirmative answer, Zhao Shu's eyes were full of grief, but Chu Yan remained silent. Then he saw her kneeling down: "If it weren't for me, he should have been the pillar of the country and an important minister of Dashuo."

It was her greed that not only harmed her relatives, but also him,
"I miss you for taking care of me, but I won't forgive you. In a few days, my queen will go to the imperial temple to meditate."

Chu Yan stood up slowly and did not look at Zhao Shu again.

He said that he would not kill Zhao Shu, except Cui Ying, because he knew that she was not the real culprit behind the scenes. This did not mean that he would forgive her.

People always have to make many mistakes in this life before they understand the truth.

There are some things that once done, even if you regret it in retrospect, it will not make up for it.

Just like him, what he did to Yingying can never be made up for in this life.

Regardless of what happened in the capital city, Cersei had already arrived at Wu Lei City with Cui Ying. Looking at her growing belly, Cersei still found it interesting. Fortunately, Cui Ying's happy reaction was much better. .

"Princess, the fetal image is stable. Miss Cui's fetus is sitting very well."

The medical officer smiled and retracted his hand. Cui Ying lowered her head to look at her belly. It was quite round, but not too big to be scary. It was not obvious how old the child was.

Cersei treated her well, tailoring her clothes along the way and complying with her requests. She looked less like a hostage and more like a tourist.

Since receiving the news from Da Shuo that day, Cui Ying has not asked again.

If she didn't ask, Cersei would naturally not take the initiative to tell her. On the contrary, during this period of time, she was very keen on being a female celebrity. She said that she wanted to be a little tiger for her future goddaughter.

"It's too difficult to learn if you don't do it."

Cersei threw the cloth in her hand into the basket, with a look of frustration and helplessness on her face.

Seeing this, Cui Ying walked over with a smile, stretched out her hand to take out the fabric from the basket, and said softly: "Princess, these hands are supposed to hold pens and swords. It is really difficult for you to use them to make female celebrities. You can't do it even if you don't know how to do it. It’s inevitable, don’t worry too much.”

After saying that, Cui Ying picked up the needle and thread on the side and began to carefully sew up Cersei's unfinished parts.

I saw that her skills were skillful and her movements were light. Every stitch and thread were just right. The originally crooked threads were repaired by her skillful hands and became exceptionally smooth and beautiful.

Cersei looked at Cui Ying's craftsmanship and couldn't help but feel a surge of admiration in her heart. She secretly sighed, no wonder the men from Dongyi also liked the women from Dashuo.

This Dashuo woman is as gentle as water. Not only that, she is also versatile. If she were a man, she would naturally like her too.

But she felt a little confused. Cui Ying didn't seem to care about Da Shuo's affairs. Did she really not want to know what was going on with Da Shuo or the news about Chu Yan?

Thinking of this, Cersei couldn't help but ask: "You have nothing to ask me lately?"

Cui Ying raised her head, with a bit of confusion in her eyes, but her expression remained as usual, looking very calm.

This kind of calmness made Cersei a little confused.

"What does the princess want me to ask?" After sewing this, she continued to embroider the sachet she had just finished. The patterns on it were all based on Dongyi's patterns, but Cersei didn't pay attention now. Just arrived.

"Of course I'm asking Chu Yan. He's about to marry you, oh no, he's marrying you on your memorial tablet. Why don't you care at all?"

"The news that a prince wants to marry a dead man has been spread throughout the court and outside of Dashuo."

Cersei raised her eyebrows and watched Cui Ying lower her eyes while doing the embroidery work in her hands.

"Everyone said that he was seriously ill. Those pedantic students still wanted to petition for another prince. Now, there are many people kneeling outside the palace gate. He has done this for you, don't you think? , not moved at all?"

She had never seen someone like Cui Ying, who seemed so heartless.

Cui Ying used scissors to cut off the thread of the sachet and raised her hand to Cersei: "Princess, stop for a moment."

Cersei's words were suddenly interrupted by her, and she unexpectedly listened to her words and stood up. Then she saw Cui Ying hanging the freshly made sachet on her waist.

"I heard from Emera that Dongyi has a custom of celebrating the blessing festival in the autumn moon. Buy some spices and put them in some other day, and it will be a good luck."

Cui Ying tilted her head slightly and combed the tassels on the sachet for her. Cersei looked at the sachet in a daze, and she still didn't recover for a moment.

Dongyi has this custom, but no one has ever done it for her.

She is her father's favorite daughter, but this love is just to increase her value so that she can be sold at a good price when she becomes an adult and bring benefits to her brothers.

Therefore, she has never attended the Prayer Festival.

"Why are you doing this for me?"

"The princess said that she brought me to Dongyi to provoke a war between the two countries. There will definitely be a battle between Dongyi and Dashuo."

Cui Ying's answer didn't make sense, and now it was Cersei's turn to be confused.

"What do you mean by this?"

She sat down holding the sachet in her hand, looked into Cui Ying's eyes, and then heard her continue: "This battle is to stop the war, not to start a war, whether it is against Dashuo or Dongyi. It’s a bad thing.”

Cui Ying raised her lips and smiled, looking at Cersei: "Since it's not a bad thing, I will naturally cooperate with my full cooperation. Only by pleasing the princess can I survive in Dongyi."

"Nonsense, you are not trying to please me."

"The matter has come to an end. It's useless to say more. If I don't take you away that day, I'm afraid I won't see Chu Yan like this."

Cersei lowered her eyes and looked at the sachet on her waist and smiled: "But I like your sachet very much. This is the first gift I have received. Thank you, Yingying."

In Dongyi, everyone regarded her as an enemy and an alien. This was the first time that someone regarded her as a friend.

Otherwise, keep it a secret?

It made Chu Yan think that Cui Ying was really dead. Such a good girl wanted to stay with him.

"I don't ask, I just know that my heart is not as hard as I thought."

Cui Ying sighed and said nothing more.

As the days passed, Cui Ying later heard the news about Chu Yan. During his wedding, the imperial censor advised him to put an end to this absurd farce.

And he only said one sentence at that time.

"I am worthy of the people of Dashuo. Please don't let me see blood on my wedding day." '
