Chapter 1336： Don't blame me for being cruel

What the queen said was obviously implying that the king had already sheltered Huangfu Liyue last time. If she sheltered again this time, wouldn't this Y country law become a decoration?

Before the king spoke, Huangfu Liyue stepped forward and said, "The queen doesn't need to rush to let my father condemn me. My father agreed to go to the underground palace this time!"

The queen felt a little ridiculous.

"Then you are going to tell me, what is your father asking you to go to the underground palace in the middle of the night?"

Huangfu Liyue did not change her face, and continued: "The Queen's question is really strange. The underground palace is filled with the ancestors of our Huangfu family. What else can I do besides worshiping the ancestors?"

The queen mocked and asked, "Nuo Xi, in the middle of the night, are you going to the underground palace to worship your ancestors?"

Huangfu Liyue took the paper money from Mu Jingchen and handed it to the queen.

"Who has the queen seen to burn paper money for the ancestors, who chose it in broad daylight?"

The queen's face sank, and she was speechless.

Seeing the paper money in Huangfu Liyue's hand, the king's gloomy expression eased a lot.

As a king, he cannot protect his daughter time and time again.

Fortunately, Huangfu Liyue had the foresight, which didn't make him embarrassed.

He stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Queen, you have forgotten it. A few days later, it will be the anniversary of my passing away. I asked Nuo Xi to burn some paper money for her grandfather late at night. What's wrong?"

The queen could see that the king was clearly defending them.

But since he said that Huangfu Liyue went to the underground palace because he had received his will, it was not considered an trespass.

No matter how dissatisfied the queen was, she could only hold back.

"Since your majesty meant it, there is nothing wrong with it."

After speaking, she glared at Huangfu Liyue and Mu Jingchen, then turned around and walked upstairs.

The king didn't say anything, and said directly to the two of them: "It's late. Go back and rest."

"Yes, father."

Huangfu Liyue and Mu Jingchen walked out without staying too much.

…

On the way back to Chang'an Temple, the two walked side by side.

Huangfu Liyue said with lingering fear: "Jingchen, the queen seems to know that we will go to the underground palace tonight, otherwise, how could the guard commander come so coincidental?"

Mu Jingchen's eyes became cold.

"It seems that she already knows that we are secretly investigating your mother's whereabouts."

Huangfu Liyue felt very strange, stopped her feet, looked at him and said: "You have been secretly leading people to search in the palace these days. How can the queen know about it?"

In the past few days, the Imperial Guard has searched all over the palace in private, and has not disturbed anyone. How could it reach the Queen’s ears?

Besides, no one knows their plan to go to the underground palace tonight except for the two of them.

But looking at the appearance of the queen just now, it seems that you have known it a long time ago, otherwise the queen couldn't have been surprised when she saw them just now.

Mu Jingchen also thought it was too strange.

When I went to the underground palace today, I clearly pinched a bit and avoided the patrol guards.

But the guards on patrol happened to appear in the underground palace, which must not be a coincidence.

Adding to the queen's reaction tonight, he guessed that the queen must have known something.

He suddenly stopped and looked at Huangfu Liyue.

"Could it be that there is an inner ghost?"

It stands to reason that they are so careful that the queen has the ability to reach the sky, and it is impossible to know the prophet.

The only possibility is that someone whispers secretly.

Huangfu Liyue was surprised by his words.

"How is it possible? There are only you and me and a few children in the Chang'an Palace. Who will tell the queen?"

Mu Jingchen shook his head.

He just had this idea, but he wasn't sure.

"If it weren't for someone to whisper the news, it would be impossible to explain. I have investigated. At midnight, at midnight, the palace guards would go to various places to patrol, but they would not go to the underground palace.

But as soon as we arrived at the gate of the underground palace, we were discovered. It seemed that someone had notified the guards in advance. "

Huangfu Liyue nodded and said, "Yes, but if someone is whispering, apart from you, me and the child, only the maid in the temple is most likely. Is there a queen in our temple?"

This guess really scared her.

If so, isn't there a time bomb hidden beside her at any time?

Mu Jingchen's face was deep and he said, "I don't rule out this possibility. Just in case, the maids who served in the palace, who have had contact with the queen before, must all be sent away."

"Yeah! However, we have visited the underground palace twice in a row, and we will surely alarm the ministers in the palace. In order not to embarrass the father, we want to go to the underground palace again, and we can only wait for the day of grandfather's death a few days later."

There were some worries in Mu Jingchen's eyebrows.

"The queen already knows that we are investigating your mother's affairs privately and will be more vigilant. If we want to do something, she will definitely be aware of it.

So in these few days, it's better to stay still, and wait until the day of the death of the king before thinking of a solution. "

Huangfu Liyue nodded, and then went back to Chang'an Hall with him.

…

At this moment, the king's bedroom.

Darkness enveloped the whole hall, without a trace of light.

The queen stood in front of the window of the room, not sleepy at all, staring at the prosperous night view of the palace.

The king had secretly teamed up with Huangfu Liyue and Mu Jingchen, and wanted to deal with her, she wouldn't just wait and die.

She looked at the towering buildings in the palace, feeling the feeling of being in a high position, and whispered: "Huangfu Masahiro, if you let this throne obediently, I still wanted to spare your life, but you just didn't listen. Against me, if that's the case, don't blame me for being cruel..."

After saying this, she opened her mouth to the distance, making a "coo" sound in her mouth.

After this sound lasted for more than a minute.

A homing pigeon flew from a distance and landed straight on the queen's shoulder.

The queen tied the prepared note in her hand to the pigeon's leg.

Later, she uttered a "cuckoo" cry at the homing pigeon.

The carrier pigeon seemed to understand her meaning, spread its wings and flew into the sky until it disappeared.

The queen watched the homing pigeon go away, without a trace of temperature in her cold eyes.

If Huangfu Zhenghong wants to deal with her, she must let Huangfu Zhenghong know the consequences of going against her!

…

Early the next morning.

Before Huangfu Liyue and a few children got up, Mu Jingchen did get up early.

As soon as he left the room, Lin Ze immediately went upstairs and walked in front of him, whispering: "Mr. Mu, the duchess said that he wants to see you."

Mu Jingchen paused.

Then, he directly replied: "Tell her that I will go to her personally in the afternoon."

"Okay, Mr. Mu."

After Lin Ze replied, he handed over a copy of the information.

"Mr. Mu, this was found overnight. Regarding all the information about the maids in the Chang'an Palace, I have marked the maids who have been in contact with the queen."

Mu Jingchen glanced around at random, and directly ordered: "Just find a reason and send them all away."
