Su Yuejian paused and turned around, "Isn't the Purple Star Emperor the nemesis of the Heavenly Evil?"

Cui Yingyu covered her belly and hunched her waist, not daring to struggle anymore. Seeing that the black sesame dumplings seemed to be soft-hearted, she told everything she knew.

Su Yuejian's face became increasingly colder, and after saying the last word, Cui Yingyu couldn't hold on any longer and curled up on the ground.

"Who can prove what you said?"

Seeing Su Yue glaring at the person on the ground, Cui Yingyu felt as if her intestines were about to break. "There was a very famous monk. The late emperor invited him into the palace to divine the truth."

"Master Kong Hui?" Su Yuejian asked, and Cui Yingyu nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, it's him!"

"If we investigate carefully, we may be able to find out about the other child born to the Empress Dowager."

Su Yuejian stood there, and suddenly Wen Zhiling's words rang in her ears.

"That day, I went to check the late emperor's pulse. He was in a very good mood because he had thought of two nice words to name the empress dowager's unborn child."

"The character 'Heng' was chosen by the late emperor."

.....

"Pei'er." Her lips moved slightly, and her head buzzed.

A gentleman is like a heng, and a beautiful woman is like a pendant.

......

"Evil ghost, he is a man-eating evil ghost, he killed my Pei'er!"

......

Seeing her standing there in shock, Cui Yingyu pursed her lips. After all, this was an ancient setting, and medicine was underdeveloped. It was inevitable that the change from twins to a single baby would be regarded as a bad omen. The heroine should not create a rift between her and the hero because the hero's blackening value was maxed out, and she did not want to die again.

"Well...actually, the other child will die, not necessarily the boy." She almost bit her tongue and quickly changed her words.

"It doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the prince. If the mother is too weak, she won't be able to support two fetuses. Besides, Master Kong Hui has predicted that the Empress Dowager is carrying the Emperor Star, which will ensure the prosperity of Tianjin for a hundred years."

Su Yuejian looked down at her, and only lowered his eyes after a while. Seeing that she was about to leave again, Cui Yingyu was extremely anxious. "I've told you everything I know! You still want to poison me! You are completely heartless! You repay kindness with hatred! You are so unkind and unjust! You are so inhumane..."

"Who said I poisoned you?"

Hearing her loud and vigorous shouting and cursing, Su Yuejian turned around.

"It was you who poisoned the food!" Cui Yingyu bared her teeth. "Don't try to trick me! Is it Broken Heart Powder? Otherwise, why would my stomach hurt so much?"

She'd seen it on TV! That "heart-breaking poison"! It was just unbearable abdominal pain, exactly like her current symptoms!

Su Yuejian and Xuanshuang exchanged a glance and sighed helplessly, "Miss Cui just ate too much and too fast, which caused stomach pain due to indigestion. Get up and walk around to relieve yourself..."

“Puff…Puff…”

Before he could finish his words, two sounds of breathing were heard from the ground.

The abdominal pain suddenly disappeared, and Cui Yingyu on the ground breathed a sigh of relief. She was scared to death. Fortunately, it was not poisoning, but she just couldn't turn her fart.

Looking up at Su Yuejian and Xuanshuang's complicated eyes, Cui Yingyu stood up a little embarrassedly, "Ahem... hehe..."

"Misunderstanding... misunderstanding, haha." Cui Yingyu patted the dirt off her body and bowed, "Princess, you are so righteous!"

The righteous man didn't respond, narrowing his eyes slightly. "I heard that since the previous dynasty, the women of the Cui family were taught by female officials of etiquette invited from the palace. Their every move is elegant and graceful. Miss Cui is really heroic."

Realizing that Su Yuejian was suspicious of her identity, Cui Yingyu retracted her feet and thought quickly.

"Now that the Cui family has been destroyed, all etiquette and restraints are a thing of the past. The Cui Yingyu of the past is dead. The one standing before the princess is the reborn Cui Yingyu. I am myself, Cui Yingyu, and I live only for myself."

What she said was seven parts true and three parts false, but the determined light in her eyes hit Su Yuejian's heart.

Recalling her previous life, Cui Yingyu's current experience is no different from living her life over again. Thinking of this, Su Yuejian's doubts gradually disappeared.

Nodding in agreement, "Miss Cui, this is a very good idea."

Cui Yingyu stepped forward with a smile, Xuanshuang raised her hand to stop her, but Su Yuejian signaled to her that it was okay.

"Miss Cui, is there anything else?"

"I want to live for myself, but a single tree cannot make a forest. As the princess said, I am now alone and helpless..."

Cui Yingyu grinned, "So I have an unwelcome request..."

Su Yuejian chuckled, "There is some silver on the table in the inner room. Miss Cui can..."

"No, I don't want money." Cui Yingyu refused flatly. Su Yue was puzzled and heard her say, "I want to follow you, is that okay?"

"No."

Without waiting for Su Yuejian to reply, Xuanshuang directly refused and stared at her with cold eyes, as if she was some kind of monster.

Cui Yingyu smiled and looked at the person behind Xuan Shuang. "I won't harm you. Look, that day in the palace, I was threatened with my life. I would rather go crazy than testify against you! It's just that I really have nowhere to go now. The princess is a kind-hearted person. She will save you to the end and see you through to the end."

Kind-hearted? Xuan Shuang sneered and repeated the words she had just used to scold Su Yuejian one by one.

"They have lost all conscience, repay kindness with hatred, are unkind and unjust, and have no humanity."

Cui Yingyu smiled awkwardly, raised her hand and patted her lips, "You're such a dead mouth, tell everything!"

"Miss Cui mentioned the incident in the palace. I do want to know one thing: how did Miss Cui end up in Lord Qin's hands?"

Cui Yingyu told her in detail how she was captured and forced, but she did not mention that she was poisoned. She only said that she was tortured, and she exaggerated the torture to highlight her misery. She tried very hard to show that she was really a good person, a very good person!

Su Yuejian was silent for a moment, pondering the truth of her words. "Do you remember the appearance and characteristics of the black-clothed leader?"

"No features. He's completely covered with a mask, so I can't see anything." Cui Yingyu thought about it carefully, and her eyes lit up. "Oh! But I smell his scent!"

"smell?"

Cui Yingyu nodded. "He smells really good, just like the peach blossoms blooming on spring trees, but also very sour and smelly. In short, it smells both good and bad."

Su Yuejian looked at Xuanshuang, and Xuanshuang nodded slightly. This smell was found in a cave that Xiaobai tracked yesterday.

Su Yue lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then said, "I have no shortage of people around me. If Miss Cui has anything else she wants to do or somewhere she wants to go, I will do my best to help you, as a way of repaying your kindness in helping me."

"Miss, when you have made up your mind, you can send someone to tell me at any time."

Cui Yingyu knew that she had been taken away by the men in black after all, and Su Yuejian would not believe her so easily now. She thought about herself, a modern-day ox or horse, who had no special skills except for her strength. She really didn't know what she could do here with no power or influence.

Watching Su Yuejian get on the carriage and leave, Cui Yingyu's face fell, and it was difficult for her to lie down flat on her back with her arms around her thighs! Ah! Life is really as bitter as an old dog!

When he returned to the yard, his eyes lit up when he remembered Su Yuejian saying there was silver on the table.

He ran into the house excitedly, but everything went dark before him and he lost consciousness.
