Chapter 1252： Is there someone outside?

After the two discussed, they decided to use the palace kitchen to hide the Gu worms in the cakes sent to the prince's bedroom.

Gu worms are small in size, and when they enter the mouth, they will quickly penetrate Huangfu Yuncheng's body.

At that time, Huangfu Yuncheng would be poisoned.

…

night.

Mu Jingchen came to the palace and went to visit the king with Huangfu Liyue.

At this moment, the two were standing in front of the king in the hall of the king's bedroom.

The king was very satisfied with Mu Jingchen, his son-in-law, and when he saw him coming, he directly asked him to sit down and talk.

"Jing Chen, how long do you plan to stay in the palace this time?"

Mu Jingchen looked calm and replied: "It's not decided yet."

Having said that, he looked at Huangfu Liyue, his tone of voice changed softly, and added: "However, I should spend more days with Liyue."

The king nodded and looked sad again.

"Jingchen, you and Nuo Xi have not been married for a long time, but since Nuo Xi's confession, you have separated between the two places. I personally think that is not appropriate."

The king was someone who came over, and this was also for Huangfu Liyue's consideration.

After all, Mu Jingchen was young and his power should not be underestimated. He often separated from Huangfu Liyue. This relationship is not guaranteed to cause any problems.

After finishing speaking, the king also proposed: "Jingchen, you may wish to consider and come to country Y to develop."

These words have been said very clearly, that is, I hope that Mu Jingchen will stay in Country Y.

He used the Zhoucheng disaster to give a reward to Mu Jingchen, which is also what he meant.

However, Mu Jingchen refused that time.

The king spoke a second time, he thought, Mu Jingchen should not refuse this time.

Huangfu Liyue also knew that the father was kind, besides, Mu Jingchen's development in country Y would only strengthen his business and power, without harm.

The father was so sincere that he let him stay, she thought, shouldn't he refuse this time?

Unexpectedly, Mu Jingchen did not let go as usual.

He knew the king's kindness, and did not directly decline, but euphemistically said: "What your Majesty said, I will definitely consider it carefully."

These words froze the smile on the king's face.

Although Mu Jingchen didn't say anything to refuse, there was no difference between these words and refusal.

The king was obviously upset.

It is no harm to him to come to country Y to develop, and he can get along with his daughter day by day. Why does he have to stay in country Z?

The king did not show dissatisfaction because he was his own son-in-law, but continued to ask: "Jingchen, are you worried?"

Mu Jingchen said without warmth: "No."

After these two words, there is no more text.

The atmosphere in the hall also became serious at this moment.

Not only the king, but Huangfu Liyue's expression changed.

She felt that she knew Mu Jingchen very well, but he refused to stay in the palace twice, and she suddenly discovered that she didn't seem to know him well.

Every time he came to the palace from Country Z, he looked like he missed her very much.

But if you really miss her so much, why not stay in the royal family?

He insisted on staying in Country Z, and she really couldn't think of any reason.

"Father, I suddenly remembered something, so I'm leaving now."

She got up, left these words, and left the hall without looking back.

The king knew that she was sad.

Looking at her lonely back, Mu Jingchen naturally felt it too.

But he did not chase it out.

The king looked at him indifferently, completely disregarding his daughter's thoughts, and was rather disappointed.

"Jingchen, now that Nuoxi is not here, tell me, why do you prefer to live in two places with Nuoxi than to develop in country Y?"

Mu Jingchen was expressionless, and replied indifferently: "Your Majesty, I am from country Z and I just want to stay in the country and develop."

This reason is obviously not very convincing.

The king asked him to come to country Y to develop, not to let him completely separate from country Z.

His perfunctory reasons made the king very dissatisfied.

But he didn't want to persecute and blame him because of this.

"Well, since you insist on doing this, I have nothing to say."

The king stood up and strode out.

As soon as he walked to the door, Mu Jingchen got up, looked at his back and called him.

"Your Majesty, please wait, I have one more question."

The king stopped and turned slowly.

"You ask."

Mu Jingchen looked at him directly, with a little coldness in his eyes.

"Your Majesty knows a woman named Wan Qing?"

This name seems a bit strange to the king.

After he meditated, he replied: "I don't know, who is this?"

Mu Jingchen reached into his coat pocket, took out a photo from it, and handed it to the king.

The woman in this photo is his mother.

The king looked at the graceful woman in this photo, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

However, he quickly converged and handed the photo back to him.

"Jing Chen, I don't know this woman, why do you suddenly ask this?"

He was smiling, there was no other weird expression on his face.

But the surprise in his eyes just now has been captured by Mu Jingchen.

"I heard that your Majesty knew this woman, so I came to ask."

"Who told you?"

The king seemed to be very interested in this topic.

Mu Jingchen's eyes were slightly cold, and he said lightly: "An old friend."

Realizing the unfriendly look in his eyes, the king put away all the unnatural looks and pretended not to care.

"It might be that your old friend made a mistake, I have never seen this woman."

After speaking, he turned and left the hall, leaving Mu Jingchen alone in the hall.

He knew very well that the king must know his mother.

But why should he deny it?

Could it be true that the foster father said that his mother's death was related to him?

…

the other side.

Huangfu Liyue returned to Chang'an Temple with emotion.

The four children have just finished learning from the private teacher and are sitting in the hall reading.

Huangfu Liyue walked in with a cold face, and sat across the four of them without saying a word.

The four little guys immediately realized something was wrong.

Mommy would never be so quiet.

The big eyes of the four pairs of water spirits all looked at Huangfu Liyue.

But Huangfu Liyue stared ahead, sulking, completely ignoring them.

The four babies looked at each other, Wubao put down the book in his hand, walked to Mommy's side, and asked, "Mommy, who made you upset?"

Sambo clenched his fist and eagerly tried, and then said: "Mummy, speak out, my son will help you teach the person who bullied you!"

Dabao and Erbao looked at Mommy and waited for Mommy's answer.

Huangfu Liyue looked at these four little guys, and said, "Who else do you think?"

Sambo was at a loss.

He looked at the eldest brother and the second brother, and asked in spoken words: "Who is that?"

Dabao Erbao reminded in a low voice: "Daddy."

Before, Mommy and Daddy went out together, but now only Mommy is back.

Obviously, Daddy must have annoyed her.

Sambo suddenly realized.

However, he is even more curious that Daddy and Mommy have such a good relationship, can they still fight?

Thinking about it, he looked at Mommy in surprise, and guessed: "Mommy, is there someone outside Daddy?"
