Perhaps it was because he followed his father to fight at the age of ten, and Wu Yu looked very mature in his early twenties.

If Wu Chan hadn't asked him, he would never have spoken on his own, and the same was true for Cui Hengyue.

"Crown Prince."

Cui Hengyue took advantage of Wu Chan's dressing and asked Wu Yu: "Do you know who was the one who served as the imperial physician order in the palace for three years in Chengping?"

Wu Yu's eyes moved slightly: "What are you asking for?"

"Curious." Cui Hengyue answered calmly.

"Why are you curious?"

"I heard that when the late emperor was alive, he promoted an imperial physician to the imperial physician order. I think he must have something extraordinary that he was able to promote the late emperor."

Speaking of this, Cui Hengyue supported her elbow on the stone table, held her cheek with her palm, and looked at Wu Yu steadily: "Criminal knows who this imperial physician is? What is the extraordinary thing about him?"

Wu Yu did not believe that Cui Hengyue was asking about this person out of curiosity. He was thinking about Cui Hengyue’s true intentions in his mind.

After thinking about it, I forgot to answer Cui Hengyue’s question. Cui Hengyue was impatient and sat up straight: “Let’s forget it.”

"Zhen Jishi."

Wu Yu suddenly spoke and said slowly: "The person who served as the Imperial Physician in the palace for the third year of Chengping was called Zhen Jishi. He came from the Xinglin family and had excellent medical skills. He had cured the stubborn disease of the late emperor, so he was promoted to the Imperial Physician.

”

Zhen Jishi...

Cui Hengyue thought about the name in her mind and asked again: "Where is he now?"

"Dead."

"Dead?" Cui Hengyue was shocked and suddenly remembered Zhen Jiu again.

That day, Zhen Jiu told her that his family died at the hands of Cui Quan and the Empress Dowager.

Cui Hengyue hesitated for a moment and finally asked: "How did he die?"

Wu Yu looked at her with a strange look, and still answered her question: "The late emperor suddenly suffered from a serious illness, and the imperial physician Zhen was not good at medical skills, and failed to save the late emperor's life. He also ordered the concubine Shu... that is, the queen mother suffered from giving birth.

He was sentenced to be executed."

Is medical skills not good?

Being sentenced to be executed?

Cui Hengyue became more and more confused as he listened: "Isn't he promoted to the imperial physician order by superb medical skills? Why is he not good at medical skills?"

"He failed to save the late emperor." Wu Yu reminded her.

Cui Hengyue: "..."

If you cure the stubborn disease of the late emperor, you are the one who is skilled in medicine. If you fail to cure the stubborn disease of the late emperor, you are the one who is not skilled in medicine. It turns out that you are accompanied by the king as if you are a tiger.

"I dare to ask, what kind of evil disease did the late emperor suffer from?" Cui Hengyue was very curious.

Wu Yu was silent for a moment: "...I heard it was a headache, it was very serious."

After a pause, he said, "I was young at that time and didn't know the inside story. These were all heard by others.

"Also, the matter of the late emperor is a taboo. Don't talk to others casually, and don't tell others what I said to you."

Seeing his serious expression, Cui Hengyue agreed.

Yu Guang caught Wu Chan appearing at the gate of the yard, and Cui Hengyue asked quickly: "How many children does that Imperial Doctor Zhen have?"

"I don't know this." Wu Yu replied.

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Chan's excited voice sounded in the yard: "Brother, my mother is back."

Cui Hengyue was stunned for a moment before remembering that the Duke of Zhenguo went to the villa yesterday. She stood up: "The Duke of Zhenguo is back, I should go and visit him."

"Achan, let's go now."

Wu Chan agreed with a smile and asked Wu Yu to go with her again.

When the three of them stepped into the main room, the sound of talking in the room stopped abruptly.

There were only two people in the room, a graceful and dignified beautiful woman, and a kind old lady with white hair.

Cui Hengyue only glanced at the beautiful woman and stared at the white-haired old lady.

"king......"

No, she should be called grandmother.

Thinking about it again, it was still wrong.

While she was hesitating, Wu Yu and Wu Chan had already stepped forward to salute. After they finished salute, they retreated to the side and looked at Cui Hengyue.

Seeing that Cui Hengyue had not been moving for a long time, Wu Chan whispered to her: "Yuanniang, why are you still standing there? This is your grandmother."

Cui Hengyue came back to her senses, took two steps forward, and saluted in a regular manner: "I have met the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo."

When it was Mrs. Wang's turn, Cui Hengyue paused for a moment and then gave a junior greeting: "I have met Mrs. Grand Governor."

The smile on Mrs. Wang's face suddenly stiffened: "What are you...what are you calling me?"

The Duke of Zhenguo couldn't bear it and mentioned Cui Hengyue: "Silly child, this is your grandmother. She is in poor health. Today I'm going to see you.

"Call grandmother quickly."

Grandmother—

The words came to my mouth and swallowed them back.

Cui Hengyue lowered her eyes, her voice unevenly: "My mother was expelled from the Wang family, and I am not worthy of a grandfather like Wang family."

Hearing this, Mrs. Wang's eyes turned red in an instant.

Seeing this, the Duke of Zhenguo saw this and signaled Wu Yu and Wu Chan to leave with their eyes.

She walked to Cui Hengyue and whispered: "The blood is thicker than water. It is not easy for your grandmother to come out. She is in poor health, so don't irritate her."

Cui Hengyue's expression stagnated.

The door was gently closed, and only Mrs. Wang and Cui Hengyue were left in the room.

Looking at the face that looked like the second daughter, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but burst into tears: "Second Mother, my child..."

Cui Hengyue felt heartbroken for no reason. She knew that Mrs. Wang regarded her as her mother, but in fact, there was nothing similar to her mother except the mole under the end of her eyebrows.

Maybe I miss my daughter too much.

Cui Hengyue felt soft and slowly walked towards Mrs. Wang. She handed over a handkerchief: "Those who survive will live secretly, and those who die will live long."

Mrs. Wang took the veil and wiped away her tears: "When did your mother die?"

"You don't know?" Cui Hengyue was very surprised.

Seeing Mrs. Wang shook her head, Cui Hengyue suddenly became embarrassed.

After struggling inside, Cui Hengyue said: "This April."

"What?"

Mrs. Wang's eyes were full of anger, and she held the handkerchief tightly with her hands. "My daughter died in April this year, but Cui San married her new wife five years ago. It's so outrageous!

"No, I'm going to the yamen to sue him..."

Cui Hengyue quickly pressed and held down Mrs. Wang: "Don't worry, listen to me."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Mrs. Wang sat down obediently and took a deep breath.

She told herself over and over again that she should not be excited or angry, that she should live well and take care of her granddaughter.

Cui Hengyue thought about it in her heart before slowly saying: "The Duke of Jingguo did not recognize my identity at first. I threatened them with the fact that my father stopped his wife and married him, so I was able to return to the Duke of Jingguo's Mansion safely.

“I promised them not to expose this.

"If you go to the yamen to sue my father, they will definitely drive me out."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang looked at her granddaughter in disbelief: "You...you don't even care about your mother for your sake?"

"You..."

The word "unfilial daughter" was finally said.

But as smart as Cui Hengyue, she knew very well what Mrs. Wang wanted to say later. She was not angry, but explained calmly: "It was for my mother that I promised them.

"Only if I stay in the Duke of Jingguo's Mansion can I find out the cause of my brother's death and avenge my mother."

"Brother?"

Mrs. Wang looked confused: "What brother? Is your cousin?"

After asking, Mrs. Wang became even more confused: "I don't seem to have heard of a young man who died in the Duke of Jingguo Mansion."

Cui Hengyue was shocked: "Don't you know I have a brother?"
