"What?"

An angry roar came from the hall, and Madam You and Zi Yan outside the door quickly lowered their heads and pretended not to hear them.

The Empress Dowager glared at Chen Zhan: "How can you let her leave the palace? I said I would keep her in the palace for a while. It was the next day, so you let her leave the palace and let outsiders see me?"

Chen Zhan smiled at the corner of his mouth and said calmly: "Don't calm down, please listen to my explanation.

"Cui Yuanniang was injured and wanted to go back to her house. General Xiao also spoke for her. His Majesty softened his heart and agreed. I can't refute His Majesty's face, right?

"Besides, many ministers in the court knew that she had lived in Yunxuan Temple before, and they were all staring at her. The reason why they did not expose Duke Yasukuni was just for your sake.

"It is not advisable to attack her at this time. It is a perfect solution to let her leave the palace as soon as possible."

The Queen Mother was silent for a moment and said, "The assassin sneaked into the palace last night. What should he do if the assassin took the opportunity to escape from the palace?"

Chen Zhan smiled: "The Queen Mother doesn't have to worry. My people have always been staring at Cui Yuanniang. If they find an assassin, they will report it to me."

Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother did not object anymore, and she stood up and walked towards the door.

When he walked to the door, the Empress Dowager whispered: "Zi Yan, go to the imperial study room now and keep an eye on Cui Hengyue..."

After giving the order, the Empress Dowager returned to the hall and continued to discuss matters with Chen Zhan.

----------

Cui Hengyue originally wanted to leave the palace with Xiao Miao, but before Shui Fu and Shui Rong came, Xiao Miao was taken back by people in the mansion.

She felt deeply regretful and talked with the emperor again, and finally waited for Shui Fu and Shui Rong to come.

"Your Majesty, Cui Yuanniang's things have been packed, and the maid has been waiting outside." Xie Yuan entered the palace and reported.

The emperor reluctantly ended the topic and said to Cui Hengyue: "After healing his injuries, you must come to the palace to see the queen mother."

By the way, I will talk to him.

Cui Hengyue said respectfully: "Abide by the order."

After Cui Hengyue left, the emperor picked up the memorial and was about to correct it, but suddenly he thought of something and ordered Fuquan: "Go to the warehouse to pick up some gifts and send them to the Duke of Jingguo's mansion to Cui Yuanniang."

"Yes." Fuquan took the order and left.

At this moment, Xie Yuan had already led Cui Hengyue to the carriage: "Young lady, please get on the carriage."

Cui Hengyue calmly observed the people standing around the carriage and found a strange face.

Shui Fu walked to Cui Hengyue, said the word "green" in a faint voice, then stretched out her hand and raised her voice: "Yuanniang, be careful, I will help you."

Finally, Cui Hengyue felt a little relieved and prepared to get on the carriage.

At this moment, Xie Yuan suddenly walked towards Lu'er: "Who are you? Why haven't you seen you before?"

Cui Hengyue froze instantly.

Could this guy have discovered it?

Just as he was about to go over to help Lu'er relieve the situation, Cui Hengyue heard Lu'er's calm voice.

"The Empress Dowager heard that Cui Yuanniang was injured, and she was very worried. She ordered her to send Cui Yuanniang back to her house."

Xie Yuan frowned and stared at Lu'er's face: "Why haven't I seen you in Wanshou Palace?"

Hearing this, Shuifu's hand with a veil shook uncontrollably. She quickly put down her hand and hid her trembling hand in her sleeve.

Shuirong was very calm and looked at Lu'er silently.

"I am a new palace maid from the Wanshou Palace. She has a low status, so naturally the guard Xie has never seen her." Lu'er pretended to be calm.

Xie Yuan frowned even more: "You are a palace maid, how could the Empress Dowager send you to see Cui Yuanniang?"

At this moment, even Cui Hengyue became nervous. If this question is not answered well, they will be dead.

Lu'er said calmly: "I dare not speculate on the Queen Mother's thoughts without authorization. If the guard Xie wants to know the answer to this question, he can ask the Queen Mother."

Shui Fu's heart suddenly jumped into her throat. She regretted it. She really shouldn't have said boldly to Lu'er at that time, which led to Lu'er saying such bold words.

If the guard Xie really went to ask the Queen Mother, no one of them would be able to leave the palace.

Shui Rong was also a little nervous, subconsciously clenched her fists and slowly let go.

Cui Hengyue looked at Lu'er silently.

Xie Yuan thought something: the Empress Dowager actually sent a palace maid to send Cui Hengyue, which was too humiliating Cui Hengyue.

Then the thought was that the Empress Dowager placed Cui Hengyue in the dilapidated Hongqiongyuan, which meant that the Empress Dowager did not like Cui Hengyue and even wanted Cui Hengyue to suffer a little.

If this is the case, it would be normal for the Empress Dowager to send the palace maid to Cui Hengyue.

"It's getting late, let's leave the palace sooner." Xie Yuan withdrew his gaze and urged Cui Hengyue.

The four of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Cui Hengyue raised her feet again and prepared to get on the carriage, but at this time, a burst of rapid footsteps came from behind.

"Wait a moment......"

This was Zi Yan's voice, Cui Hengyue's heart sank and she turned her head to look behind the carriage.

However, in just a few breaths, Zi Yan showed up in front of Cui Hengyue with the eunuch and saluted respectfully: "I've seen the little lady."

After getting up, Zi Yan blatantly glanced around: "Don't blame me, little lady, the Queen Mother said that the assassin in the palace has not been caught yet, so maybe the assassin took the opportunity to sneak in and out of the palace and escape from the palace.

"My lady, don't get on the carriage first, I'll go in and check it out."

As he said that, without waiting for Cui Hengyue to agree, he lifted the curtain and looked in.

Although the carriage was large, the things inside were clear at a glance and there were no Tibetans.

Cui Hengyue's eyes remained unchanged and said calmly: "Your Majesty ordered Xie's guards to prepare this carriage for me. Do you do this by suspecting Xie's guards hiding the assassin?"

Xie Yuan's face changed slightly, and his eyes turned cold as he looked at Zi Yan.

Zi Yan's heart tightened and she quickly explained: "Thank you, guard, I don't mean that. I didn't doubt you, I..."

After pausing, Zi Yan's tone became firm: "I did this for the sake of the little lady's safety. What if the assassin was cunning and sneaked into the carriage while the guard Xie was not careful?

"The little lady is the niece of the empress dowager's relative. If so," after getting up, Zi Yan blatantly glanced around: "Don't blame me, little lady. The empress dowager said that the assassin in the palace has not been caught yet, so maybe the assassin took the opportunity to sneak in and out of the palace and escape from the palace.

"My lady, don't get on the carriage first, I'll go in and check it out."

As he said that, without waiting for Cui Hengyue to agree, he lifted the curtain and looked in.

"The little lady is the niece of the empress dowager's relative, if so," Zi Yan's heart tightened and she quickly explained: "Thank you, guard, I don't mean that. I don't doubt you, I..."

After pausing, Zi Yan's tone became firm: "I did this for the sake of the little lady's safety. What if the assassin was cunning and sneaked into the carriage while the guard Xie was not careful?

"The little lady is the niece of the empress dowager's relative, if so"
