Chapter 476 Frankness

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

Aunt Gui and Aunt You were afraid to make a sound as the guards held knives against their necks. They looked at each other and sighed helplessly.

Things are going to change

"As of now, we have nothing to hide."

"Queen Mother——"

In the palace, Cui Quan and his wife wanted to stop the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother said to them: "Father, mother, the matter is over. Rather than letting Your Majesty fall into their trap and have a grudge against our Cui family, why don't we be honest with each other and tell Your Majesty the truth?"

."

Yes, this is a trap.

Cui Quan and his wife were silent.

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

For some reason, when the emperor heard this sentence, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He was not the son of the Queen Mother, which meant that the Cui brothers and sisters had no personal relationship.

The Queen Mother's voice sounded in his ears again, and the emperor quickly collected his thoughts and listened carefully.

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

Seeing that the Queen Mother recognized him, Xie Yu stopped hiding and took a step forward with a sarcastic look on his face: "Why, are you surprised to see me? Do you think I'm really dead?"

"Don't worry, I'm not here to find your Cui family." After saying this, Xie Yu retreated to his original position and glanced at the palace door from the corner of his eyes.

At this time, the emperor had already sorted out his situation from his chaotic thoughts, and shouted sternly: "Cui Yuanniang, you are holding an important official of the court, or your own grandfather, hostage in the palace, what do you want to do?

"Do you want to rebel?"

The Queen Mother was just wondering when she saw the knife on her father's neck. She was shocked and said: "Here comes someone——"

"Ha ha--"

Cui Hengyue stared at the Queen Mother with deep hatred in her eyes.

After such an interruption, the Queen Mother had calmed down and said expressionlessly: "Concubine Rong died of illness. I don't know anything else."

Cui Quan put down his words and walked out, but as soon as he walked out of the door, he stepped back.

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

"Father, what should I do?" The Queen Mother looked at Cui Quan helplessly, seeking shelter like she did when she was a child.

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

The emperor was silent.

"Back then, the late emperor died suddenly, leaving no children, the government was in turmoil, the country was unstable, and people's livelihood was precarious. Fortunately, I still had a child in my belly."

"You guys"

"It's you!"

When she heard the word "poisoned", the Queen Mother's expression changed, but she soon returned to her majestic demeanor: "Concubine Rong died of illness."

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

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

"No need to shout, everyone is my people outside." Cui Hengyue turned her wrist and put the knife back into the sheath on Xie Yuan's waist.

The Queen Mother still had a sullen face: "If you have something to ask me, why do you need such a big battle? Just come to my palace. Tell me, what do you want to do?"

The Queen Mother looked solemn, as if she had returned to the year when the ministers were criticizing her: "But the late emperor passed away, and the court cannot be left without an owner for a day, so I came forward to ask King Rui to take charge of the overall situation.

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

Everyone was surprised, and before they had time to react, they heard Cui Hengyue say: "We know who poisoned Fourth Uncle."

After Cui Quan was surprised, he wanted to call someone but suddenly realized that he could no longer control the outside world. He tried to calm down: "What are you doing in the palace?"

"Listen to my explanation," the Queen Mother said, not daring to look directly into his eyes and looking at her feet.

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

Why hasn't it appeared yet?

"Yeah?"

"She" the Queen Mother lowered her head: "She is dead"

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

"Father."

King Rui turned and left.

When she said this, Cui Hengyue glanced at Mrs. Cui, and everyone's hearts tightened, and then heard her say: "The poison my aunt was poisoned back then is the same as the poison my fourth uncle is poisoned now.

Cui Hengyue slowly walked up to the Queen Mother and looked directly into her eyes: "Who poisoned my aunt to death?"

No, Cui Hengyue, a young lady, could not find out the truth of the year. It was the King of Chu who was behind her.

Cui Quan's eyes suddenly turned sinister: "The matter has come to this, there is no other way but"

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

Accompanied by loud clapping, King Rui strode into the palace, his face still filled with surprise and anger when he first learned the truth: "What a civet cat for the prince!"

The Queen Mother looked gloomy and still shouted outside: "Here comes someone——"

How many more have you heard?

No wonder he was married to Cui Si's daughter as soon as he was born. No wonder they didn't let him get married to Cui's daughter. That's it.

"Papa -"

The Queen Mother couldn't help but tremble, and looked at the people behind Cui Hengyue, only to find that there were some familiar faces among the so-called guards.

The Queen Mother understood, but was frightened in her heart: "But, his power is overwhelming."

"Prince Rui is kind-hearted and insists on focusing on the former emperor's children regardless of the advice of his officials. He has promised that as long as I give birth to a prince, he will be the new emperor."

"King Rui!"

Everyone was shocked, especially the Queen Mother. Her hands could not help but tremble: "When did you come?"

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

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

Cui Quan, his wife and the Queen Mother did not speak anymore, but the way they looked at Cui Hengyue was clearly the way they looked at a rebellious traitor.

At this point, she sighed deeply and looked sad: "It's a pity that I gave birth to a daughter.

Cui Hengyue did not hide her sarcasm. After passing Cui Quan and his wife, his eyes stayed on the Queen Mother's still charming face: "Is the Fourth Uncle poisoned and about to die?"

"Mingren doesn't tell secrets. Since I can find out that my aunt died of poisoning, I know who the murderer is behind this. I just want to hear the answer with my own ears."

"At this time, we have no choice but to make a desperate move. You stay here and don't wander around. I'll ask Cui Zhiwen to come over and protect you."

Others were panicked.

"Ten years ago"

"Yuan Niang? What are you doing?"

Seeing clearly who was coming, Old Madam Cui immediately darkened her face. She was even more surprised when she saw the person coming in next to her: "Xie Yuan, why are you letting Yuan Niang do this?"

"This poison is rare and cannot be obtained by ordinary people. Only the Cui family has it.

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

The three people's expressions darkened and they were unable to refute.

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