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

Huangfu Liyue turned around, looked at the thick stone gate behind her, and said distressedly: "Without my father, we would not be able to enter this underground palace at all, let alone explore any secret passages."

Mu Jingchen glanced at the underground palace behind him.

"It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, let's go back first."

"Ah."

Huangfu Liyue nodded, and then left the underground palace with Mu Jingchen and returned to Chang'an Hall.

Along the way, both of them had serious expressions on their faces.

After finally discovering the tricks of the queen, but not catching the queen's handle, he was reprimanded and punished by the king instead, which is not worth the loss.

When the two walked side by side, Huangfu Liyue looked at the long road under her feet, and asked in doubt: "Jingchen, tell me, what can the queen do when she comes to the underground palace late at night?"

Mu Jingchen was unable to answer this question for a moment.

In this underground palace, apart from the bones and coffins, there are all kinds of extravagant funerary objects.

The queen is not short of money, so naturally she will not be interested in these funerary objects.

She came here late at night, which is really intriguing.

"Perhaps, there are other mysteries in this underground palace, but this time our actions have angered the king. We can't come to this place again."

This time they trespassed in the underground palace, the king punished them a little and gave them a big punishment, which was already extraordinarily merciful.

If there is another time, the king will not forgive easily.

Huangfu Liyue said regretfully: "It seems that we have to find another way."

After finishing speaking, she temporarily put aside the queen's affairs, stopped suddenly, and looked at him worriedly.

"Jingchen, tomorrow's whipping, you..."

Mu Jingchen looked at the worry on her face, stretched out his hand to rub the long hair on the back of her head, and said with a calm and gentle smile, "It's only twenty lashes, I'm not so fragile."

Her eyelids were slightly heavy, knowing that he was speaking to comfort her.

Caning is a cruel punishment in Country Y.

The whipping punishment uses a special rattan whip with tiny wooden thorns on it, and the rattan whip is soaked in water for a long time before execution.

With such a cane whip on one's body, one lash would bruise the skin, let alone twenty lashes.

Thinking of this, she pursed her lips, and suddenly said: "I'm going to find my father!"

Mu Jingchen grabbed her wrist and stopped her.

"Liyue, the laws of country Y are not made by the king alone. The laws clearly stipulate that trespassing in the underground palace is a felony. The king has already shown us extra favors by doing so.

Tonight we trespassed in the underground palace and were caught by the patrolling guards. If the king openly protects us, forgive us, then where is his prestige as a king?

According to the laws of country Y, the prince breaks the law and commits the same crime as the common people. As her daughter, you cannot be special.

Furthermore, although we have special reasons for trespassing on forbidden places, we have violated the law after all, and we must take responsibility for our actions! "

Huangfu Liyue naturally understood this, but she didn't want to watch him suffer.

She looked up at him, and said seriously: "I didn't want to ask my father to intercede, I just wanted to ask my father to be punished, and we will suffer together!"

Looking at her firm eyes, his cold eyes instantly softened a little.

The next moment, he raised his hand to touch her face, carefully tracing the outline of her face.

"Be obedient, let's go home."

He gave her a reassuring look, with a calm smile on his lips, took off his coat again, and put it on her body skillfully.

Before she could open her mouth to speak, he took her hand and walked towards Chang'an Hall.

She opened her mouth, closed it again, and didn't insist anymore.

At this moment, the cold moonlight shone on the two of them.

The two walked on this flat and quiet road, and neither of them spoke again.

The cool night breeze kept blowing around the two of them, and Huangfu Liyue could feel the coolness even though he was wearing his large coat.

But when she looked at his solid back and felt the warmth of his palm, the slight coolness brought by the cool wind disappeared in an instant.

...

Royal hospital.

The queen sat on the bed in her hospital gown.

In front of her bed, the king stood there majestically, his eyes locked on her tightly.

"Just now, where did you go?"

In response to the king's questioning, the queen casually arranged the wrinkled quilt on her body.

"Your Majesty, I have injuries on my body, and I have no sleep at night, so I went out of the ward to relax."

"What nonsense!"

The king looked stern, and asked scoldingly, "If you want to relax, do you need to disguise yourself and leave the ward late at night?"

The queen tidied up the quilt she was covering and looked up at the king.

"Your Majesty, since you already know the truth, why bother to ask me?"

The king's eyes turned cold, and he asked, "I'm asking you, where did you go just now?"

Just now, everyone in the hospital was looking for the queen.

When no one could find her, she walked out of the hospital bathroom by herself.

The people in the hospital were really shocked.

However, the king was not overly surprised.

Since the queen dared to leave the hospital in disguise, she would naturally find a way to return to the hospital.

What he was curious about was, where could she go?

The queen smiled and looked at the king, and replied: "Your Majesty, I just left the ward and relaxed in the hospital, and did not go anywhere else. What is the meaning of your Majesty's questioning?"

"If you want to relax, why bother to pretend to go out, Queen, you know that you are still waiting for a crime!"

Hearing the king's stern tone, the queen sneered and said, "Your Majesty, because I am currently a criminal and my freedom is limited, I pretend to go out to relax. If your majesty wants to punish the crime, you can just order it directly."

The king's face was gloomy, and his brows were furrowed.

The queen pretended to leave the ward, at most it was a charge of leaving the ward without permission, even if he punished him, he couldn't convict him of any felony.

The queen knew this, so she was confident.

"Come on!"

As soon as the king gave an order, Hans walked in from the outside and said respectfully, "Your Majesty!"

"Add more people to guard the queen! Until she undoes Princess Lingxi's Gu! If anything goes wrong again, I'll ask you!"

"Yes!"

The king glanced at the queen indifferently, and strode out of the ward.

Hans immediately sent four capable men to guard the door of the queen's ward.

Now, even if the queen has great abilities, she can no longer leave secretly.

At this moment, the queen was sitting on the ward, looking at the indifferent back of the king, her eyes were full of coldness.

Tonight, she was almost overshadowed by Huangfu Liyue and Mu Jingchen.

Until now, she has lingering fears.

Just now in front of the king, he also pretended to be calm, for fear that the king would find out the clues.

Thinking of Huangfu Liyue and Mu Jingchen following her tonight, her heart is still hanging.

Huangfu Liyue dared to plot against her behind her back!

Fortunately, she had been prepared and escaped, otherwise, she would definitely be killed by this woman, Huangfu Liyue!

"Huangfu Liyue, you are as hateful as your mother!"

The queen almost bit it out between her teeth.
