Chapter 1354： presumptuous

Reluctantly, she could only use her left hand to dine very unaccustomed to.

After a while, a few children walked into the restaurant.

They saw Mommy's strange dining posture at a glance.

Wubao leaned forward like a curious baby.

"Mummy, why do you eat with your left hand like Sister Yi Ran?"

Huangfu Liyue stopped moving and looked at Wubao.

"Sister Yi Ran also eats with her left hand?"

When Yi Ran was dining with the maid, she had met once. She remembered that Yi Ran was not left-handed.

Wubao nodded cutely.

"Yeah, the way Sister Yi Ran holds the tableware in her left hand is exactly the same as Mommy is now!"

These words reminded Huangfu Liyue of Yi Ran breaking the teacup before.

Yi Ran also injured his right hand, and also couldn't hold the cup.

She remembered that at that time she wanted to see Yi Ran's injured wrist, but Yi Ran directly refused.

Whether it was because of being too sensitive or because of too many things recently, Huangfu Liyue suddenly had a terrifying thought in her mind.

Could it be that Yi Ran was also poisoned by hidden weapons in the underground palace?

This thought made her shudder.

She immediately looked at the maid on the side and asked, "Where is Yi Ran?"

The maid replied: "The female officer Yiran is over there in the kitchen."

"Call her here."

"Yes."

At the moment, at the entrance of the restaurant.

Yi Ran, who was about to enter the restaurant, heard the conversation between Huangfu Liyue and Wubao.

She knew that Huangfu Liyue must be suspicious of her.

She stopped, was silent for a second at the door, turned around and returned to the kitchen.

…

After a while, the maid brought Yi Ran into the restaurant.

"Princess, the female officer Yiran is here."

Yi Ran walked to Huangfu Liyue's side and asked with a smile: "Princess, is there anything you called me?"

Huangfu Liyue put down the bowl and chopsticks and looked at Yi Ran.

"Yi Ran, didn't you hurt your wrist some time ago? I always forgot to ask you, how is your injury recovering?"

"Recovered very well, thank you princess for your concern."

With that said, Yi Ran lifted the cuffs directly to show her her wounds.

On her wrist, there was a clearly visible, unhealed bloodstain, which indeed seemed to be caused by the collision.

Huangfu Liyue's gaze stayed on this bloodstain for a few seconds.

"How did you do this?"

"Princess, I accidentally fell when I was up at night and was scratched by a sharp weapon."

"Let me see."

Huangfu Liyue stood up, raised her hand, and checked her wound.

After looking closely, she found that there was nothing wrong with the wound.

However, there is still some redness and swelling on the wrist, and it is not certain whether it is a recent injury or a previous injury.

After checking, she let go of her hand and only said one sentence: "I have some ointment, which should be of some use to you. I will give it to you later."

Yi Ran said with a grateful expression: "Thank you princess."

Huangfu Liyue stopped talking and continued to eat.

Yi Ran lowered his cuffs and breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now, she deliberately went to the kitchen to "make" a wound.

From the naked eye, it is difficult for ordinary people to see how long the wound has existed.

She thought that Huangfu Liyue should dispel the doubt in her heart.

…

afternoon.

Huangfu Liyue went to the prince's bedroom.

When I entered the door, I saw Huangfu Yuncheng sitting there with a worried expression on his face, with the state affairs papers in front of him being shelved by him.

Huangfu Liyue walked over, sat down opposite him unceremoniously, and said: "Father is in the underground palace."

Huangfu Yuncheng raised his eyes to look at her, a touch of surprise flashed across his eyes.

However, it was fleeting.

Last night, Huangfu Liyue and his mother appeared in the underground palace, and the father and king disappeared inexplicably. He could probably guess what happened to the three of them that night.

It's just that he didn't know the specific circumstances.

Now when he heard Huangfu Liyue say this, he doubted: "Since the father is in the underground palace, why hasn't he shown up yet?"

Huangfu Liyue replied: "According to my observations, there should be other secret passages in the underground palace. Moreover, only the queen knows this passage. Why the father has not shown up until now, only the queen knows best."

Huangfu Yuncheng felt incredible.

The royal underground palace, only the king has always known how to open it, how can the mother and queen know the underground palace well?

Huangfu Liyue continued: "The queen hates his father Wang. You can imagine the current situation of the father. Brother Wang, I hope you can distinguish right from wrong and rescue the father with me as soon as possible. Don't let this farce intensify."

Huangfu Yuncheng sighed lightly.

"I don't want to find the father right away, it's just that the gate of the underground palace, I don't know how to open it."

"I know, but I only know how to open the underground palace, and I don't know the secrets of other hidden passages in the underground palace, so I want to look at the design drawings of the underground palace and study it."

Huangfu Yuncheng was embarrassed.

"This is a bit difficult. This underground palace has existed for a hundred years. The person who designed this underground palace has never seen his father, let alone the drawings of the underground palace structure."

Huangfu Liyue was slightly disappointed.

Without the drawings, she could not explore the secrets of the underground tunnels, nor could she find her mother and father.

Seeing her worried, Huangfu Yuncheng said: "However, since you have spoken, I will send someone to check it out as soon as possible."

"Thanks a lot."

She didn't expect Huangfu Yuncheng to be so easy to talk this time.

"Brother Wang, there is one more thing. Last night, Hans and I witnessed the queen taking the father to the underground palace. Therefore, we can both testify that the disappearance of the father is related to the queen."

She said so, hoping Huangfu Yuncheng could ask the secret of the underground palace directly from the queen's mouth.

However, Huangfu Yuncheng already knew what she said.

He also knew that the queen wouldn't say it.

If he goes to persecute the queen again, the queen will do something radical if she is not sure.

Therefore, he only intends to close one eye.

"What you said, after all, is a side word between you and Hans. I will not pursue the matter of you and Hans trespassing in the underground palace. You don't want to mention this matter anymore."

"Brother Wang..."

"Stop talking, I have promised you will find your father as soon as possible. I have my own decision for the rest."

Huangfu Liyue could see that he was still deliberately shielding the queen.

However, from his perspective, it is natural that he does not want to send his mother to prison with his own hands.

However, she was afraid that his tolerance would only be exchanged for the queen's unscrupulous.

"Well, then I'm leaving now."

She didn't say anything more, because she knew that compared to his mother's queen, she was lighthearted and said nothing.

After silently walking out of Huangfu Yuncheng's bedroom, she looked up at the dark sky, and suddenly felt very depressed.

Although Huangfu Yuncheng promised to help find the father, he was obviously unwilling to deal with the queen.

If he turns a blind eye to the queen's behavior, the queen will be even more presumptuous.
