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

At this moment, Huangfu Liyue and Mu Jingchen are on their way to the underground palace.

To be alarmed, they did not take anyone else there.

Huangfu Liyue is a princess, she can travel unimpeded in the palace, and the journey is very smooth.

Until you reach the fork in the road leading to the underground palace.

There are patrolling guards on both sides of the fork.

The two stopped far away.

Mu Jingchen looked sideways at Huangfu Liyue: "Wait a few seconds."

He looked at his watch until the second hand pointed to twelve.

The guard at the forked road ahead suddenly lifted his foot and walked forward.

Then Mu Jingchen said to her, "Let's go."

The two of them pinpointed the guard's shift change time, and took advantage of the one-minute gap between their shift shifts to sneak into the road ahead of the underground palace.

The road to the underground palace is very quiet, and there is no one there.

The two quickened their pace and went straight to the underground palace.

...

soon.

The gate of the underground palace.

The two stopped.

Huangfu Liyue approached the stone gate, remembering the door-opening mechanism that Sanbao told her, after observing it, she reached out and touched a pattern on the stone gate.

There are countless strange patterns engraved on the stone gate that is several people tall.

The father told Sanbao that the patterns on the stone gate are regular.

The pattern in the center is the mechanism of Shimen.

If it touches any pattern other than the door-opening mechanism, Shimen will shoot out a poisonous needle.

When Huangfu Liyue pressed this pattern with her hand, she obviously felt a slight vibration in the palm, and the pattern bulged a little.

She knew she was in the right place.

When he was about to open the door, Mu Jingchen suddenly grabbed her wrist.

"someone is coming!"

After his reminder, Huangfu Liyue also heard footsteps getting closer behind her.

She immediately withdrew her hand and did not continue.

The place where the stone door just raised also returned to its original state as she withdrew her hand.

Both of them looked behind.

When they saw a group of patrolling guards coming behind them, both of them showed surprise on their faces.

When they came to the underground palace, they deliberately avoided these guards.

According to the law of patrolling in the palace, it is impossible for patrolling guards to appear here during this time period.

But now, by such a coincidence, a group of patrolling guards came.

They both noticed something strange at the same time.

At the same time, the leader of the patrolling guards came over with a group of guards and shouted loudly: "Who is so bold to trespass the forbidden area!"

Huangfu Liyue greeted her very calmly, and said with a smile, "Commander, it's me."

Seeing that it was Huangfu Liyue again, the leader of the patrolling guards turned very ugly.

"Princess, this is the second time you have trespassed on the underground palace!"

Seeing the stern look on the commander's face, Huangfu Liyue gave an awkward laugh, and explained: "Commander, don't get me wrong, last time I didn't know this was an underground palace, and I broke in by mistake, but this time, I acted according to orders."

The leader of the patrolling guards asked puzzledly, "Then may I ask the princess, whose order did you serve, and what are you doing here?"

Huangfu Liyue replied without changing her face: "Of course I obeyed the order of my father, otherwise, I would know that this place is a forbidden area, and would I deliberately trespass?"

The commander of the guards was dubious.

Huangfu Liyue looked at his indifferent face, and continued: "In a few days, it will be the death day of the late king, that is, my grandfather. My father ordered me to come early to pay respects. Is there any problem?"

When she said this, Mu Jingchen took out the paper money he had prepared in advance from his loose coat and handed it to the commander of the guards.

The suspicion in the guard commander's eyes dissipated a bit.

In a few days, it will indeed be the death day of the late king.

If the two of them hadn't come to worship, they wouldn't have prepared paper money in advance.

The commander of the guards glanced at the paper money in Mu Jingchen's hand, and softened his tough attitude a bit.

"Princess, Mr. Mu, what you say is unfounded. Trespassing is a felony. Please follow me to see His Majesty, and His Majesty will decide."

Huangfu Liyue nodded naturally.

"it is good."

Then, she and Mu Jingchen looked at each other, and followed the group of guards out of the underground palace.

Fortunately, the two of them had already made preparations. They had checked the information of the previous kings of country Y in advance, and learned that a few days would happen to be the anniversary of their ancestor's death.

Therefore, the two carried some paper money with them, just in case.

Unexpectedly, it really came in handy.

...

After the two were taken away by the patrolling guards, Yi Ran suddenly appeared on the road in front of the underground palace.

She sneaked in while Huangfu Liyue and Mu Jingchen were being taken away by the guards.

However, looking at the closed gate of the underground palace, she was in trouble.

This stone gate looks ordinary, there is no mechanism at all, only the intricate patterns on it.

She reached out and groped on the stone door, trying to find out where the mechanism was.

But as soon as his hand touched the pattern on the stone gate, three poisonous needles suddenly shot out from the stone gate.

She backed away in fright.

Although the dodge was in time, the speed of the three poisonous needles was too fast, and one of them brushed past her wrist, and she immediately felt a tingling pain in her wrist.

A painful moan came out of her mouth, and she gasped in pain as she clutched her wrist.

Then, she saw that the skin on her wrist had turned black and blue.

She immediately realized that the needle was poisonous!

Before she had time to think about it, she squatted down, took out a dagger from her boots, and cut her wrist instantly.

Then, she covered the wound with her lips, sucking out the poisonous blood.

After several minutes, the bruise on the wrist finally turned into a normal color.

She fell to the ground and breathed a sigh of relief.

The poisonous blood has been cleared, but this wrist can no longer use force these days.

She looked at the plain stone gate in front of her again, but she didn't dare to step forward, and she didn't dare to touch it casually.

It seemed that one had to figure out the mechanism to open the door. Opening the underground palace blindly would be life-threatening.

She climbed up from the ground in embarrassment, and after cleaning up the poisonous blood on the ground, she left the underground palace dragging her heavy body after being poisoned.

...

King's bedchamber.

Because Huangfu Liyue and Mu Jingchen trespassed in the underground palace, the king and queen were woken up.

The two went downstairs wearing thick coats.

When the king saw Huangfu Liyue and Mu Jingchen, his brows were deeply frowned, and he already guessed why they were escorted here late at night by the guards.

Compared with the face of the king, the queen is obviously much calmer.

There was no surprise on her face, as if she had expected it a long time ago.

Seeing the commander of the guards leading Huangfu Liyue and Mu Jingchen into the door, she yawned as if nothing had happened, and asked, "What's the matter, why is Nuo Xi here in the middle of the night?"

The guard came forward and reported: "Your Majesty, the queen, the princess and Mr. Mu broke into the underground palace late at night."

The queen stopped yawning, pretending to be surprised.

She looked at Huangfu Liyue and said with a smile: "Nuo Xi, if I'm not wrong, it seems that you were punished by your father for trespassing in the underground palace not long ago."

Huangfu Liyue looked at the schadenfreude in the queen's eyes, lowered her head and said, "The queen has a really good memory."

The queen glanced at her lightly, then turned to look at the king.

"Your Majesty, according to the laws of our country Y, anyone who trespasses in the underground palace is a death penalty.

Last time, His Majesty disregarded the law and was extra merciful to the princess. This time, how does His Majesty plan to deal with it? "
