Five Treasures for One Birth: The President's Wife is the Group's Favorite

After discussing, the two decided to use the palace kitchen to hide the Gu worms in the cakes that were sent to the eldest prince's bedroom.

Gu worms are small in size, and when they enter the mouth, they will quickly penetrate into Huangfu Yuncheng's body.

At that time, Huangfu Yuncheng will definitely be poisoned by Gu poison.

...

night.

Mu Jingchen came to the palace and went to visit the king with Huangfu Liyue.

At this moment, the two were standing in front of the king in the hall of the king's bedroom.

The king was very satisfied with Mu Jingchen's son-in-law. When he saw him coming, he asked him to sit down and talk.

"Jingchen, how long do you plan to stay in the palace this time?"

Mu Jingchen looked calm, and replied, "Not yet."

Having said that, he looked at Huangfu Liyue, his tone became gentle, and added: "However, I should stay with Liyue for a few more days."

The king nodded, looking sad again.

"Jingchen, you and Nuo Xi have not been married for long, but since Nuo Xi recognized you, you have separated in two places. I personally think it's not appropriate."

The king is someone who has been here before, and these words are also for Huangfu Liyue's consideration.

After all, Mu Jingchen is young, and the power in his hands should not be underestimated. He often lives separately from Huangfu Liyue, so there is no guarantee that there will be any problems in this relationship.

After finishing speaking, the king suggested again: "Jing Chen, you might as well consider coming to country Y for development."

These words have been made very clear, and they just hope that Mu Jingchen will stay in Country Y forever.

This is also what he meant by rewarding Mu Jingchen for taking advantage of Zhoucheng's disaster before.

However, Mu Jingchen refused that time.

The king spoke for the second time, he thought, Mu Jingchen would not refuse this time.

Huangfu Liyue also knew that her father had good intentions, besides, Mu Jingchen's coming to country Y to develop would only increase his business and power, and it would be beneficial without any harm.

The father was so sincere to let him stay, she thought, he will not refuse this time, right?

Unexpectedly, Mu Jingchen did not let go as usual.

Knowing the king's kindness, he did not directly refuse, but said euphemistically: "I will definitely consider what your majesty said."

These words froze the smile on the king's face.

Although Mu Jingchen didn't say no, there was no difference between these words and rejection.

The king was visibly upset.

Coming to country Y to develop is not harmful to him, and he can get along with his daughter every day, so why does he have to stay in country Z?

Seeing that he was his own son-in-law, the king did not show dissatisfaction, but continued to ask: "Jing Chen, do you have any concerns?"

Mu Jingchen said without warmth: "No."

After these two words, there is no more text.

The atmosphere in the hall also became serious at this moment.

Not only the king, but even Huangfu Liyue's expression changed.

She felt that she knew Mu Jingchen very well, but he refused to stay in the palace twice in a row, and she suddenly realized that she didn't seem to know him very well.

Every time he came to the palace from country Z, he always looked like he missed her very much.

But if he really misses her so much, why not stay in the royal family?

He insisted on staying in country Z, but she really couldn't think of any reason.

"Father, I suddenly remembered something, so I'm leaving first."

She got up, left behind these words, and left the hall without looking back.

The king knew that she was sad.

Looking at her lonely back, Mu Jingchen naturally felt it too.

But he didn't chase it out.

The king looked at him indifferently, completely disregarding his daughter's thoughts, and was quite disappointed.

"Jingchen, now that Nuoxi is not here, tell me why you would rather live apart from Nuoxi than come to country Y to develop?"

Mu Jingchen was expressionless, and replied indifferently: "Your Majesty, I am from country Z, and I just want to stay in the country to develop."

This reason is obviously not convincing.

The king asked him to come to country Y to develop, not to let him leave country Z completely.

His perfunctory reason made the king very dissatisfied.

But he didn't want to force and blame him for this matter.

"Well, since you insist on this, I have nothing to say."

The king stood up and strode out.

As soon as he reached the door, Mu Jingchen got up, looked at his back and called out to him.

"Your Majesty, please wait a moment, I have another question."

The king stopped and turned slowly.

"You ask."

Mu Jingchen looked directly at him with a bit of coldness in his eyes.

"Does Your Majesty know a woman named Wan Qing?"

The name seemed strange to the king.

After pondering, he replied, "I don't know, who is this?"

Mu Jingchen reached into his coat pocket, took out a photo, and handed it to the king.

The woman in this photo is his mother.

The king looked at the graceful woman in the photo, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

However, he quickly restrained himself and handed the photo back to him.

"Jingchen, I don't know this woman, why do you suddenly ask this?"

He was smiling and there was no other weird expression on his face.

But the surprise in his eyes just now had already been seen by Mu Jingchen.

"I heard that His Majesty knows this woman, so I came here to ask."

"Who said that?"

The king seemed interested in the topic.

Mu Jingchen's eyes were slightly cold, and he said lightly: "An old friend."

The king realized the unfriendly look in his eyes, put away all unnatural looks, and pretended not to care.

"That may be your old friend made a mistake. I have never seen this woman."

After speaking, he turned around and left the hall, leaving Mu Jingchen standing in the hall alone.

He knew very well that the king must know his mother.

But, why did he deny it?

Could it be that what the adoptive father said was related to his mother's death?

...

the other side.

Huangfu Liyue returned to Chang'an Hall with emotions.

The four children have just finished studying from their private teachers and are sitting in the hall reading a book.

Huangfu Liyue walked in with a cold face, and sat across from the four of them without saying a word.

The four little guys immediately realized something was wrong.

Mommy was never this quiet.

Four pairs of big watery eyes all looked at Huangfu Liyue.

But Huangfu Liyue looked ahead, sulked, and completely ignored them.

The four babies looked at each other, Wu Bao put down the book in his hand, walked to Mummy, and asked, "Mummy, who upset you?"

Sanbao clenched his fists eagerly, and said, "Mommy, tell me, and my son will help you teach that person who bullied you!"

Dabao and Erbao looked at Mommy, quietly waiting for Mommy's answer.

Huangfu Liyue looked at these four little guys, and complained, "Who else do you think is there?"

Sambo was at a loss.

He looked at the eldest brother and the second brother, and asked in spoken language: "Who is it?"

Dabao and Erbao reminded in a low voice: "Daddy."

Before, Mommy and Daddy went out together, but now only Mommy came back.

Obviously, it must be Daddy who made her angry.

Sambo suddenly realized.

However, what he was even more curious about was that Daddy and Mommy have such a good relationship, how can they quarrel?

After thinking about it, he looked at Mummy in surprise, and guessed: "Mummy, is there someone outside Daddy?"
