Huangfu Liyue was silent for a few seconds, and then asked: "My aunt said that after her mother killed herself, she was driven out of the palace by the queen, and then inexplicably chased and killed by the people of the palace, and then fled to Country E."
The king nodded.
"Yes, after Suying committed suicide, I returned to the palace and planned to ask Feng Su about the reason for Suying's suicide, but Feng Su was no longer in the palace.
After investigating, I learned that it was the queen who drove her out of the palace because she hadn't taken good care of Suying.
As for her saying that she was hunted and killed, this should be a misunderstanding. She should regard the person I sent out to find her as a killer. "
Huangfu Liyue suddenly realized.
It turned out that my aunt had always misunderstood, that's why I hated my father so much.
The king looked at her and continued: "Is Feng Su in the Chang'an Hall?"
She nodded without concealment.
"Yes, I saved my aunt before and sent her out of the palace. I wanted her to spend her twilight years outside the palace.
But within two days, she suddenly called me and said that someone had assassinated her.
When I rushed over, the killer had already left, but left a badge of the palace guard.
At that time, I knew that my aunt was still alive, except for me and Jingchen, and you were the only one. "
The king remembered the scene of being questioned by her inexplicably before, and instantly understood everything.
"If I want to put her to death, I don't have to work so hard."
Huangfu Liyue lowered her head slightly ashamed.
"Father, I was too reckless to question you indiscriminately, sorry."
The king raised his hand.
"The father didn't blame you. It's not surprising that you would think that the father had done the situation at that time."
Huangfu Liyue's eyes were serious, and she replied, "Jing Chen sent someone to investigate the matter of her aunt being chased and killed. We all agreed that she was probably directing and acting on her own, but what I can't figure out is, Why would aunt do this?"
The king sighed lightly.
"It's nothing more than to separate the relationship between you and my father and daughter and to retaliate against me."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Huangfu Liyue to say anything, the king continued: “She is Suying’s relatives, I can keep her alive, but the matter is over, you must send her away as soon as possible and keep her in the palace. There is no benefit at all."
Huangfu Liyue understood what the father meant, and said, "Yes, father."
When she knew that her aunt had been lying, she no longer wanted to keep her aunt by her side.
Even though the aunt is a relative of the mother, they are not familiar with it, and she has no idea about this aunt.
She can't keep a time bomb by her side.
After returning to his father's words, Huangfu Liyue suddenly said: "Father, I still have a ruthless please."
"You said."
There was a hint of hope in Huangfu Liyue's eyes.
"Father, although I know that the living in the underground palace can't survive, but the queen's words have been lingering in my mind.
If I don't check it out, I'm always whispering in my heart. So, can I ask my father to agree and let me take a look at the secret path. "
The king understood what she meant.
But the secret road of the underground palace is a powerful place for arms, and only he knows the secrets of the palace.
If Huangfu Liyue were allowed to enter, it would definitely violate the ancestral motto.
The last time she took her into the underground palace was an exception and violated the law set by the ancestors.
But in his heart he thought of his daughter's motherly eagerness and couldn't bear to refuse.
After hesitating, he replied: "Well, Nuo Xi, only this time, not as an example."
Huangfu Liyue's complexion instantly turned from cloudy to clear.
"Thank you Father!"
…
Shortly after.
Underground palace.
People in the palace were talking gossip, the king dismissed his guards and came here alone with Huangfu Liyue.
There are only coffins and funerary objects in the underground palace, and there is no place where people can be hidden.
Therefore, the king took her directly to the secret path.
The two of them walked into the secret passage slowly, holding an ever-bright lamp in their hands one after the other.
Huangfu Liyue followed behind his father, and as soon as he entered the secret road, he smelled a strong smell of gunpowder.
She raised the eternal lamp to illuminate the surrounding environment.
This huge underground cave was filled with countless weapons and gunpowder, and almost the entire cave was piled up, leaving only a two-meter-wide corridor in the middle.
With the light of this ever-bright lamp, she couldn't predict how big the cave was.
She can only follow her father and go all the way forward.
As the father said, there is nothing here except gunpowder.
After a few minutes, the two came to an end.
At the end of this cave, there is still a reserve of munitions, piled up like a mountain, as if to show the huge military power of country Y.
She also seemed to know the reason why the father dared to meet L's weaponry.
With so many arms, it is enough to contend with any other country.
Huangfu Liyue looked around, shocked that she had ample arms, but she had not forgotten the real purpose of this trip.
She has been observing whether there is room for people in this cave.
But it seems that the answer is no.
In this cave, there are only resources such as arms, all of which are neatly piled up, and there is no place to hide.
Moreover, this cave is under the underground palace, it is a closed space, if someone is here, it is impossible to survive.
The king looked at Huangfu Liyue's disappointed eyes, and said, "Nuo Xi, Father King told you that I have come here to see it before, and there is nothing unusual."
Huangfu Liyue raised the lantern and looked at the top of the cave.
But apart from the dark mud, there was nothing else.
She turned around and asked, "Father, besides this place, are there other secret paths in the underground palace?"
The king shook his head.
"The existence of this underground palace, in addition to allowing the ancestors of the Huangfu family to rest, the most important thing is to reserve arms to prevent emergency needs. Besides, it has no other function, and naturally there will be no other secret passages."
These words directly obliterated all hope of Huangfu Liyue.
She sighed softly and murmured: "If there are no other secret passages, could it be that Jing Chen and I made a mistake. Last time, the queen didn't come to the underground palace at all?"
After all, they were led by a black dog, and they didn't see the queen walk into the underground palace with their own eyes.
If the queen really entered the underground palace, it would be impossible to leave under their noses.
The only explanation now is that the black dog is leading the wrong way.
Looking at her dull expression, the king stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder.
"Nuo Xi, don't think too much. Father father told you a long time ago that the queen can't open the gate of the underground palace. How can she enter the underground palace?"
Huangfu Liyue let out a sigh of relief.
"I hope I think too much."
After finishing speaking, she looked around again uneasy.
Seeing that the surroundings were closed, and there was no strangeness, she finally dispelled the thought in her mind.
Mother is not here, it is good for her.
Otherwise, she can't imagine how a living person can survive here.
"Father, let's go."
