Since Yi Ran sent her aunt to leave the palace this morning, she seems to have never seen her again.

The maid replied respectfully: "Princess, I don't know where the female officer Yiran has gone. Do you have any instructions?"

Huangfu Liyue did not order the maid, but only said one sentence: "I'm going to work in the study, don't bother me, and I will come back later. Let her send some refreshments to the study."

As the female officer of Chang'an Temple, Yi Ran knows her taste better, and she is not used to letting other people serve her.

The maid nodded and said, "Okay, princess."

After giving orders, Huangfu Liyue went upstairs.



After half an hour.

study.

Sitting at the desk in the study, Huangfu Liyue was checking the company's recent profitability data, analyzing the company's new clothing, and what needs to be improved.

At the door, there was a knock on the door suddenly.

"Come in."

After she answered, Yi Ran walked in with the tray.

On the tray are two plates of exquisite refreshments and a glass of fresh juice.

"Princess, the refreshment you want."

Yi Ran respectfully placed the tea at the hand of Huangfu Liyue.

Huangfu Liyue raised her eyes and looked at her, and asked casually, "Yi Ran, why didn't I see you all day today?"

Yi Ran replied: "Princess, after I sent the personal teacher of my little highness to leave the palace today, I felt a little uncomfortable, so I rested in the residence for a while. I didn't come and said hello to the princess. Please forgive me."

Hearing what she said, Huangfu Liyue naturally wouldn't blame, but instead asked concerned: "Are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's much better, thank you princess for your concern."

"It's okay."

"Princess, then I won't disturb you."

"Ok."

Yi Ran retreated, Huangfu Liyue stopped working, took a piece of refreshment in front of him, and delivered it to his mouth.

After chewing for a few times, her face changed slightly and she stared at the refreshment in her hand in a daze.

She doesn't like things that are too sweet. Therefore, I have already explained that Yi Ran, the cakes in the palace can only be three-point sugar.

Yi Ran kept her preferences in mind and never made a mistake.

This time, a full-sugar refreshment was delivered.

Huangfu Liyue silently put down her refreshment and looked out the door.

Perhaps it was because Yi Ran was unwell, that he didn't notice this.

She also didn't take it to heart, pushed aside the pastry in front of her, and continued to check the company's operating data.



the other side.

The king is dealing with state affairs in the temple.

But staring at the state affairs documents, his thoughts are not at all on the contents of the documents.

His mind was full of what the queen said.

Within three days, if she was not allowed to sit back as queen and declare Huangfu Yuncheng as the heir, he would never see Suying again.

Thinking of this, the king pinched his eyebrows, very sad.

He didn't protect Suying well back then, which caused Suying to suffer so much, and finally ended up suicide.

In his heart, there is endless guilt for her.

Now that it is hard to learn that she is still alive, he is doing everything he can to protect her.

However, the queen's condition...

When he was worried, Richard walked in with Huangfu Ye Ting.

"Your Majesty, the second prince is here."

The king put away his thoughts and looked at Richard.

He already knew that Richard was the queen's person, and every time he saw him, there was a complex emotion in his eyes.

"Go down."

Richard naturally noticed the king's indifferent tone.

He didn't say a word, and walked out silently.

The look in the king's eyes was fixed on Huangfu Ye Ting's body.

"Princess Lingxi is gone?"

Huangfu Ye Ting nodded.

"Yes, she is gone."

The king sighed regretfully and got up from his seat.

"It can be seen that this Princess Lingxi likes you very much, otherwise, she would not choose to leave so soon."

Huangfu Ye lowered his eyelids, with a gloomy look in his eyes.

"Father, I came here to tell you about this."

The king looked at him suspiciously and asked, "What?"

"I hope my father will agree and let me go to Country E to find Lingxi."

As soon as he spoke, the king's face suddenly changed.

"Go to Country E?"

"Yes, Lingxi told me that she would marry someone else after returning to China. Father, I want to follow my heart and go to Country E to save her and let her see my heart clearly."

His heartfelt words were not understood by the king.

"You are a prince who not only manages the major enterprises under the royal family, but also helps me with state affairs. How can you leave the country if you leave the country because of your children's personal love?"

Huangfu Yeting nodded slightly.

"Father, the affairs of the state, and even the affairs of the royal family will never be finished.

Please rest assured, my father, I will arrange everything before I leave.

I hope that my father can fulfill my son this time. If she marries someone else, I will regret it for the rest of my life. "

Hearing his firm tone, the king sighed.

"Since she has promised to marry someone else, what use is it for you to go?"

"Father, when I go to Country E, she doesn't have to marry me. As long as I persist, it doesn't matter what the outcome is."

The king looked deep and looked at him and said: "You have grown up, this is your decision. Logically speaking, the father should not stop you, but during this time, you really can't leave the palace."

Huangfu Ye Ting looked at his father in doubt.

"Father, why?"

The king walked in front of him, put his hands on his shoulders, and solemnly said: "My father is old, it is time to abdicate, my father thought, he will choose an heir from you and Yuncheng in these two days."

Upon hearing this, Huangfu Ye Ting was surprised.

"Father, why is it so sudden? You are not old at all, there is no need to be so anxious."

The king shook his head.

"Father's body, Father himself knows, Ye Ting, do you have any thoughts on the position of heir?"

Huangfu Ye Ting's expression did not fluctuate.

"Father, rest assured, I don’t have any ideas. Brother Wang is the eldest son and is much older than me. He is better than me in terms of experience and ability. The heir in my heart has always been him. ."

"Do you really think so?"

His words so frankly calmed the king's heart.

It seems that he was worrying too much.

Huangfu Yeting nodded solemnly.

"Father, I am only in my early twenties. I have not completed my studies. I know I am not capable of governing the country, and there is no need to compete with Brother Wang for the position of heir."

"With your remarks, the father will feel relieved."

The king sat down and raised his hand again, motioning him to sit down.

The father and son also had a deep heart-to-heart chat.

"During this time, all the ministers and even the people are speculating that they think I have always been biased towards you because of Suying, so they will definitely give you the throne.

In fact, they are wrong. Over the years, I have paid special attention to you, not because of partiality, but because you have lost your mother and queen since birth.

You don't have the love of the mother and queen. As a father and queen, I naturally caress a little bit more, but this caressing has become partiality in the eyes of outsiders. "
