You break off my engagement and I dig your ancestral graves

Chapter 280 The Queen Mother Becomes Suspicious

"Princess, why are you here?" Cui Yingying was so excited that she forgot about the wounds on her body. She stood up suddenly, but then curled up again and screamed.

Princess Xiyun shook her head helplessly and walked forward to help her sit down. "I heard that you entered the palace, so I came to see you and see what your mother can teach you."

"I didn't expect that you would be injured before this even started. After the Crown Prince returned home last night..."

At this point, Princess Xiyun suddenly remembered what the Crown Prince had told her. She stopped talking in time and changed the subject without leaving any trace. "Let me come to the palace to accompany you."

Fortunately, Cui Yingying was slow to react and didn't notice anything unusual. She just felt embarrassed and laughed dryly, "How embarrassing..."

"Speaking of this injury, I don't know what happened. I was sitting there fine last night, and suddenly my shoulder hurt and started bleeding. Then I passed out from excessive blood loss."

Thinking back to what happened last night, Cui Yingying is still confused.

Princess Xiyun was also scratching her head. The Crown Prince did not explain the matter to her. She had just gone to pay her respects to the Queen Mother, who also did not find out anything.

There was no news of any assassin in the palace last night.

At this moment, the system's voice rang in Cui Yingying's mind: […This is the punishment for the host's failure to complete the task for a long time, and even I have been punished.]

The system's voice was no longer as arrogant as usual, and became soft.

When Cui Yingying was confused, the system appeared in her mind in the form of an image wrapped in bandages.

"..." Cui Yingying pulled the corners of her mouth and said guiltily: "I'm sorry, system, the difficulty coefficient of this task is too high. Give me some more time. I have already entered the palace. It won't take long for me to bring this spy to justice. Maybe I can even get some rewards!"

In fact, she would have to save money in the future. If her identity was leaked one day, not only would she lose her status as a princess, but all her wealth would have to be taken back. She would starve to death on the streets!

It's always good to save more money.

[Also... don't be too anxious, just take your time, take your time.] As soon as she said this, the system was so frightened that the wings on the other side trembled, and hurriedly stopped her.

Cui Yingying adhered to the spirit of a good student and said: "System, you have such deep affection for me, and you have gradually become more humane. Don't worry, I will never embarrass you. I will definitely complete all the tasks beautifully and live a long life, so that you can successfully advance."

The system wanted to cry but had no tears [You should take good care of your injuries first, I...I will also go and take care of myself for a while. ]

Cui Yingying did not try to persuade him to stay.

Little did they know that the disappeared system ran to the other side to explain tearfully.

That's what your woman wanted to do, I didn't force her!

In the end, I was told to get out in a cold and heartless manner.

The news that Princess Xiyun had returned to the palace soon reached the Queen Mother's ears. She was very puzzled. "Doesn't this damn girl hate staying in the palace the most?"

"The Queen suddenly summoned the Cui family's daughter into the palace. What does that mean?"

The nanny next to her massaged her shoulders and said, "Maybe the queen wants this girl to live in the East Palace!"

"On the surface, the queen appears to be selfless and even eliminated the women from her own mother's family. But now she is getting close to a yellow-haired girl whose parents have both passed away. I'm afraid she has bad intentions."

"But this girl has a really bad reputation. I don't understand why the Queen chose her."

There are obviously many ladies from noble families for the queen to choose from.

The Queen Mother sneered, "It doesn't matter if she has a bad reputation. Her parents died for the country. She is the descendant of loyal ministers and deserves to be enshrined in the Imperial Ancestral Temple. Even if she can't become the Crown Princess, she can still be a concubine."

"Given time and the Queen's support, won't there be a bright future?"

"The Queen relies on the Crown Prince's trust, so it is naturally much easier for her to act than I am."

When the nanny heard this, she hurriedly asked, "Do you need me to go and take care of it?"

"No need. Since they are all in the palace, I can call them over to see them in a few days." The Queen Mother refused.

When no one was paying attention, Liang Heng had already left Yecheng overnight.

As the elder brother, Han Liang just continued to study his work silently. All he could do was to take Yingying away from Yecheng in times of crisis.

……

Cui Yingying's entry into the palace was not a good thing for many people, but for the Cui family it was a great joy and a great grace from the emperor.

Old Mrs. Cui was so excited that she almost set off firecrackers to celebrate. She talked nonstop throughout the entire lunch and even said that the spirits of the deceased Cui couple were in heaven.

But they forgot how they treated Cui Yingying.

"If Yingying can become a concubine, our Cui family will be honored." The old lady's face was full of smiles, and even her appetite improved a lot.

The chattering sounds in his ears were irritating. Cui Changqing's face turned pale and he looked at the people in front of him coldly.

Suddenly I felt relieved and understood why Yingying was so unwilling to return to the Cui family.

The people outside were sincere to her, but the people inside were insincere to her.

As long as she is useful, he would even shamelessly go to curry favor with her.

Cui Huairou also fell into fantasy. If Cui Yingying could become the prince's concubine, her life in her husband's family would be much better. Not only would she be able to hold her head high, but she would also be looked up to by them!

However, the harmonious scene was shattered.

He slammed his chopsticks on the table and said coldly, "Grandma, have you forgotten that we have severed our relationship with Yingying?"

"If Yingying becomes the prince's concubine, do you think she will help? Or will she be the first to deal with the Cui family who have been harsh and abusive to her and her brother?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere on the scene suddenly froze.

The smile on Mrs. Cui's face was still stiff, and the corners of her grinning mouth closed awkwardly.
