However, although Richard retreated, he did not go far, but hid behind the wall and listened.
Huangfu Liyue had already caught a glimpse of his every move, but she didn't reveal it.
She looked at his father nonchalantly.
"Father, it will be my grandfather's death in a few days. I think the people in the palace are preparing the sacrifices that are needed for that day, so I came to ask, is there anything I can help?"
The king sat up straight, his eyes swept across the wall diagonally behind him inadvertently.
Then, he replied very calmly: "Tomorrow is almost ready, you don't have to worry."
When he said this, Huangfu Liyue saw that the palm of his hand was playing with his mother's pair of anemone earrings.
And he turned his back to Richard, so Richard did not see the movements of his hands.
Huangfu Liyue knew that Father King had heard her implication and was responding to her in his own way.
Before she could try to figure out what her father said, the queen had already stepped into the back garden.
"Nuo Xi, come to see your father again, your father-daughter relationship is really enviable."
When speaking, the queen had already sat down unceremoniously.
The king quietly put away the earrings in his hand and looked at her and said: "Queen, I have a few words with Nuoxi, you don't have to sit here and listen?"
The queen didn't mean to leave at all.
"Your Majesty is wrong. Nuoxi is not only your daughter, but also my half daughter. If you talk to my daughter, I shouldn't avoid it, right?"
The king knew that she was worried that he and Nuo Xi were alone together, for fear that he would reveal the news of seeing Suying tomorrow.
Seeing that she refused to leave, the king was uninterested and got up.
"Nuo Xi, the father suddenly remembered that there was something else, so he went back to the sleeping hall first."
"Okay, Father, go slowly."
Huangfu Liyue watched his father leave, then glanced at the queen again, and left the back garden.
The queen watched the two go away, with an inexplicable smile at the corner of her mouth.
At the same time, Richard came over.
"queen."
"What did they say?"
"The princess asked about the anniversary of the death of the king."
The queen looked at him suspiciously: "That's it?"
Richard lowered his head and turned back: "Yes, you are here, Queen before she can say anything else."
Only then did the queen put away her gaze in relief.
She has sent people to watch the king day and night and monitor his every move, just to guard against the king, for fear that he would secretly inform her and mess up her plan.
…
Huangfu Liyue came out of the back garden and walked back to the Chang'an Temple.
She kept remembering what the father said just now in her mind.
The father suddenly took out the pair of earrings, which belonged to the mother and should represent the mother.
He said that tomorrow is almost ready, don't worry.
Therefore, the father is saying: Don't worry about your mother.
Then why did he say that day is ready?
And, why let her not worry about her mother?
She didn't even know whether her mother was alive or dead, so how could she not worry?
Could it be that the father is saying that he will see his mother tomorrow, so she don't worry about it?
Thinking of this, she suddenly stopped.
Could it be that the queen agreed to take the father to see his mother?
It seems that this is very possible.
The father has promised so many conditions for the queen, even if she does not let her mother go, it is time to let the father know the life and death of her mother.
However, with the queen's vigilant nature, even if she let the father see her mother, she would only let him go.
Therefore, just now, my father must have given her a secret message, telling her that I will see my mother tomorrow.
After figuring out what the father meant, Huangfu Liyue calmed down.
This is a good opportunity to learn where the mother is imprisoned!
…
Chang'an Temple.
After returning, Huangfu Liyue paced back and forth in the hall.
Now that the father is being watched by the queen, the father's bedroom has almost become the queen's world.
She must first find a way to ambush around the father's bedroom, so that she can follow them when the queen takes her father to see her mother.
After her thoughts passed, she thought of Hans beside her father, and she immediately called Hans over.
Hans was still at a loss when he came to the Chang'an Temple.
"Princess, what's the matter with you looking for me in such a hurry?"
Huangfu Liyue looked at him squarely.
"Hans, you, as my father's imperial guard, are the person my father trusts the most. Therefore, I won't be ambiguous. I need your help, and my father also needs your help!"
Hans was confused.
"Your Majesty? What happened to him?"
Hans had always kept the king safe.
But after the king announced Huangfu Yuncheng as the heir, the queen asked the king to send Hans outside the temple for protection, and did not let him be by his side.
The queen has Feng Suying as the handle, and the king can only agree to these conditions.
In the past few days, Hans has been guarding outside the king's palace and has not had much contact with the king.
However, he did not know that the king had been threatened by the queen, and the king would not tell a guard about this.
Now he was surprised to hear Huangfu Liyue say such things.
Seeing that he didn't know the inside story, Huangfu Liyue told him that his father was threatened by the queen.
After hearing this, Hans was shocked.
"Your Majesty was threatened by the Queen?"
"Yes, I believe you are also aware that the father suddenly announced that the prince was the heir and released the queen from An Paradise. All this is not in line with the father's temperament."
Hans frowned slightly.
Although shocked, he did not inquire about the affairs of the royal family in depth. He only said one sentence: "Princess, what do you need me to do, please tell me directly, as long as you speak, I will die!"
He did not question Huangfu Liyue's words, just because she was the king's daughter and someone trusted by the king.
Therefore, he will unconditionally believe in obeying her.
His firm tone made Huangfu Liyue very satisfied.
"The queen used my mother to threaten my father, so that my father had to compromise with her many times. If I'm not mistaken, the queen will take my father to see my mother tomorrow, and she will only let my father go with her.
Therefore, I hope that when the queen takes the father to leave the sleeping hall tomorrow, you can secretly follow her with someone to protect the safety of my father and my mother! "
There was a hint of surprise in Hans's eyes.
When he was shocked that Queen Suying was still alive, he did not forget to reply: "Yes, princess."
Just in case, Huangfu Liyue suggested: "Well, you will bring me a set of bodyguards. The queen is slippery. I want to personally guard the door of the father's bedroom, lest she use any tricks."
"Princess, this is easy to handle, I'll send it to you in a while."
"good."
…
afternoon.
Huangfu Liyue confessed a few children privately, and then hurried out.
Not long after, she put on a guard uniform and turned into a masculine costume, and followed Hans to stand at the door of the father's palace.
At a glance, she and the two guards beside her had no sense of disagreement, making people unable to detect any clues at all.
