The secret guards were stunned for a moment and could only lift her up according to Chu Weiyue's instructions.

Chu Weiyue slapped the woman's back hard several times.

Because the force was not strong enough, the woman was unable to vomit out the contents of her lungs.

She could only take a thick stick and continue to hit the woman's back hard.

This finally allowed her to spit out the water grass stuck in her throat. She then resumed breathing and lay on the ground gasping for air.

Song Qiuchang brought a cup of warm water and placed it in front of her.

He rinsed his mouth, took some tea, and drank a few sips before he finally recovered.

The other maids brought a white cloak and covered the woman with it, and then she stopped shivering.

Thinking of how Chu Weiyue had saved her just now, the woman immediately walked up to Chu Weiyue and tried to kneel on the ground and kowtow.

"Miss, please don't do that. We are all girls, and we can be considered sisters who have never met each other before. Please don't make me feel embarrassed."

Chu Weiyue immediately held her hand, speaking in an extremely gentle tone.

Instead, the woman was puzzled: "But you saved me, how can I not thank you? How about I give you a gift?"

She gave Chu Weiyue a jade pendant from her body.

"Although this jade pendant is not priceless, it has been with me since I was a child. It was given to me by my mother. Now that you have given me a second life, I will give this jade pendant to you."

Chu Weiyue didn't want to accept it at first, but she insisted on giving it to her. If she didn't accept it, she would feel uncomfortable, so she had no choice but to accept it.

"By the way, I haven't asked for your name yet."

Chu Weiyue exchanged gifts with her, then he remembered that he had not asked the girl's name yet.

"My name is Cui Ping, and I'm the daughter of the Minister of War."

Chu Weiyue's eyes lit up: "So she is the daughter of the Minister of War. No wonder she is so considerate, gentle and generous."

After being praised by Chu Weiyue, he was obviously a little embarrassed, and the two of them became friends because of this.

When Vice Minister Cui of the Ministry of War learned that his daughter was in danger, he rushed to the scene immediately.

Upon learning that it was Chu Weiyue who saved her daughter, she thanked Cui Ping's mother profusely.

After they left, Chu Weiyue did not stay here, and went to another place to appreciate the flowers with Song Qiuchang.

Then she went to a famous shop in the capital and bought some rouge and powder.

Lord Cui, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, was well-known for loving his daughter, so he would not let this go. In order to get to the bottom of the matter, he reported it to the Emperor.

The Emperor is currently unwell and will not handle any official business.

According to the rules, he could only report this matter to Wen Jingchi and Wen Chenxuan.

After all, the emperor said that as long as Wen Chenxuan did not sit on the throne, his position would be equal to Wen Jingchi's.

Since they were both in the emperor's bedroom, he could only tell it to both of them at the same time.

After hearing this, Wen Chenxuan yawned and glanced at Wen Jingchi casually.

"Master Cui, I never thought your daughter would encounter such a thing. I'm sure the Ninth Prince can help you find out the truth. This prince has other things to do, so leave this matter to him."

Then, he set his gaze on Wen Jingchi's face.

"Royal brother, what do you think? Your princess was there at the time, so it would be most appropriate for you to come forward."

Wen Jingchi naturally understood what he meant, and curled the corners of his lips with a forced smile.

"Brother, how could you have forgotten? When my father was not feeling well a few days ago, he divided the territory of the capital into two. The east was under your jurisdiction, and the west was under my jurisdiction. Now the incident happened on your side, how can you push this matter to me?"

"Besides, Lord Cui has been working under your jurisdiction, so of course you have to give him an explanation. I think it's better for you to handle this matter according to the rules. It would be bad if you break the rules."

Wen Chenxuan clenched his fists and gritted his teeth in hatred.

Although Lord Cui worked under him and had always been under his direct jurisdiction, this man named Cui was an out-and-out centrist.

If he is not given a satisfactory explanation for this matter, he will definitely go to Wen Jingchi in a moment.

Whenever one starts a rebellion, one must have military power. As long as one has military power, one has an absolute chance of winning.

If we can get help from Lord Cui, we will be even more powerful.

But in the past few years, he has tried every means to persuade him, but Lord Cui just refuses to commit the crime.

If this matter is not handled well or is dealt with perfunctorily, he will definitely not give up.

This damn Wen Jingchi has dug a big hole for him!

Having said that, Wen Chenxuan naturally couldn't refuse and could only nod awkwardly.

"In that case, I will not refuse. Lord Cui, please rest assured that I will give you a satisfactory explanation. You can go back first."

"Thank you, Your Highness. I am waiting for good news from you." Although his voice was respectful, his eyes were filled with some dissatisfaction.

He is not a fool, how could he not know that Wen Chenxuan doesn't want to get involved in such trivial matters.

When he was being lobbied to take sides, he was very sincere, but now he is like a fence-sitter, which makes him angry just thinking about it.

In addition, Chu Weiyue saved his daughter, so he naturally had a natural liking for Wen Jingchi.

Feeling the oppression in Lord Cui's eyes, Wen Chenxuan's eyes were filled with anger.

But Lord Cui had military power, so he couldn't lose his temper on the spot and could only endure it.

Wen Jingchi went in to take care of the emperor, and then returned to the palace to take care of trivial matters.

Wen Chenxuan also returned to his residence. Thinking of what Wen Jingchi had done today, he became even more angry.

Suddenly a good idea came to mind, and a calm smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

"Wen Jingchi, since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust."

This matter was difficult to handle in the first place, and since Wen Jingchi insisted on handing it over to me, then whatever he said would be reasonable.

Then, he went to the Marquis' Mansion to find Chu Weiyue in person.

Upon learning that Wen Chenxuan was coming, Chu Weiyue was a little shocked and couldn't help but click his tongue a few times.

"I was wondering who it was, it turned out to be the Crown Prince. No wonder the crows outside my house started cawing just now. Normally, I don't hear them cawing for a hundred or eighty years."

If this is the case, it would be a naked humiliation.

But Wen Chenxuan was not angry. Instead, he covered his mouth and laughed a few times.

"Whatever you say, I came to you to tell you something. Your future husband didn't even bother to take care of the assassination on your cruise ship today. He actually handed the matter to me. If he cared about you, how could he not investigate it himself?

It seems that your position in his heart is just like this! You should be mentally prepared in advance, and don't wait until he confronts you, then it will be too late to regret it. "

Chu Weiyue rolled her eyes in disdain and complained quietly in her heart.

[I don’t believe you! A man like you is like a big-mouthed bitch, gossiping about other people everywhere. Don’t you know how to write the word shame? You are such a shameless man…]
