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

The queen's words were obviously implying to the king that he had already sheltered Huangfu Liyue last time. If he shielded Huangfu Liyue again this time, wouldn't the laws of Country Y become a display?

Before the king could open his mouth, Huangfu Liyue stepped forward and said, "Queen, don't be in a hurry to get my father to condemn me. It is my father's permission to go to the underground palace this time!"

The queen felt a little ridiculous.

"Then tell me, what did your father ask you to go to the underground palace in the middle of the night?"

Huangfu Liyue's face remained unchanged, and she continued: "It's really strange what the queen asked, the underground palace is full of ancestors of our Huangfu family, what else can I do besides worshiping the ancestors?"

With a sarcasm behind her back, the queen asked, "Nuo Xi, in the middle of the night, you go to the underground palace to worship your ancestors?"

Huangfu Liyue took the paper money from Mu Jingchen and handed it to the queen.

"Who did the queen see burning paper money for the ancestors, did they choose in broad daylight?"

The queen's face darkened, and she was stunned speechless.

Seeing the paper money in Huangfu Liyue's hand, the king's gloomy expression eased a lot.

As a king, he couldn't protect his daughter again and again.

Fortunately, Huangfu Liyue had the foresight, so he didn't embarrass him.

He took a few steps forward and said in a deep voice: "Queen, did you forget that in a few days it will be the anniversary of my father's death. I asked Nuo Xi to burn some paper money for her grandfather late at night. What's wrong?"

The queen could see that the king was obviously defending them.

But since he said that Huangfu Liyue went to the underground palace at his will, it is not considered trespassing.

No matter how dissatisfied the queen was, she could only hold back.

"Since it is His Majesty's intention, there is nothing wrong with it."

After finishing speaking, she glared at Huangfu Liyue and Mu Jingchen, then turned and went upstairs.

The king didn't say anything else, and said directly to the two of them, "It's late, you go back and rest."

"Yes, Father."

Huangfu Liyue and Mu Jingchen didn't stay too long and walked out directly.

...

On the way back to Chang'an Hall, the two walked side by side.

Huangfu Liyue said with lingering fear: "Jingchen, the queen seems to know that we will go to the underground palace tonight, otherwise, how could the commander of the guards come by such a coincidence?"

Mu Jingchen's eyes turned cold.

"It seems that she already knows that we are secretly investigating your mother's whereabouts."

Huangfu Liyue felt very strange, stopped, looked at him and said: "These days you have been secretly leading people to search the palace, how could the queen know about it?"

In the past few days, the imperial guards have searched all over the palace privately, but no one has been alarmed. How could it have reached the Queen's ears?

Besides, no one knew about their plan to go to the underground palace tonight except the two of them.

But judging by the queen's appearance just now, it seems that she has known it for a long time, otherwise, when she saw them just now, the queen could not have been half surprised.

Mu Jingchen also found it too strange.

When I went to the underground palace today, it was obvious that I avoided the patrolling guards.

But the patrolling guards happened to appear in the underground palace, this must not be a coincidence.

Coupled with the queen's reaction tonight, he guessed that the queen must know something.

He suddenly stopped and looked at Huangfu Liyue.

"Could it be that there is an inner ghost?"

Logically speaking, they are all so careful, even if the queen has the ability to reach the sky, it is impossible for her to foretell.

The only possibility is that someone secretly tipped off the news.

Huangfu Liyue was shocked by his words.

"How is it possible? There are only you and me in Chang'an Palace, a few children, who will report to the queen?"

Mu Jingchen shook his head.

He just had the idea, but wasn't sure.

"If someone hadn't tipped off the news, all of this would be impossible to explain. I have investigated and found that at twelve o'clock at night, the guards of the palace would go to various places to patrol, but they would not go to the underground palace.

But as soon as we arrived at the gate of the underground palace, we were discovered. It seemed that someone had notified the guards in advance. "

Huangfu Liyue nodded and said: "Yes, but if someone tipped off the news, apart from you, me and the child, only the maids in the palace are the most likely. Could it be that there is a Queen's person in our palace?"

This guess really startled her.

If so, isn't there a time bomb hidden around her at any time?

Mu Jingchen's face was deep, and he said, "I can't rule out this possibility. Just in case, all the maids serving in the palace who have had contact with the queen before must be sent away."

"Yes! However, we have entered the underground palace twice in a row, and we will definitely alarm the ministers in the palace. In order not to embarrass the father, if we want to go to the underground palace again, we can only wait until the day of grandfather's death in a few days."

There was some worry in Mu Jingchen's eyebrows.

"The Queen already knows that we are investigating your mother's matter in private, so she will be more vigilant, and if we try to make a move, she will definitely notice.

So for the next few days, it is better to stand still and wait until the day of the death of the late king to find a solution. "

Huangfu Liyue nodded, and then went back to Chang'an Hall together with him.

...

At this moment, the king's bedchamber.

Darkness enveloped the entire dormitory, without a trace of light.

The queen stood in front of the window of the room, not feeling sleepy at all, staring at the prosperous night scene of the palace.

The king has secretly teamed up with Huangfu Liyue and Mu Jingchen to deal with her, so she will not sit still.

She looked at the majestic buildings in the palace, felt the feeling of being in a high position, and said in a low voice: "Huangfu Zhenghong, if you obediently give up the throne, I would have spared your life, but you just didn't listen and insisted Against me, if that's the case, don't blame me for being cruel..."

After saying this, she opened her mouth towards the distance, and a "cuckoo" sound came out of her mouth.

After the sound lasted for more than a minute.

A carrier pigeon flew in the distance and landed on the queen's shoulder.

The queen tied the note she had prepared to the pigeon's leg.

Then, she uttered a "cuckoo" call to the pigeon.

The carrier pigeon seemed to understand what she meant, spread its wings and flew into the sky until it disappeared.

The queen watched the pigeon go away, there was no warmth in her cold eyes.

If Huangfu Zhenghong wanted to deal with her, she had to let Huangfu Zhenghong know the consequences of going against her!

...

Early the next morning.

Huangfu Liyue and the children hadn't gotten up yet, but Mu Jingchen got up early.

As soon as he left the room, Lin Ze immediately went upstairs to him and said in a low voice, "Mr. Mu, that duchess said that she wants to see you."

Mu Jingchen paused.

Then, he replied directly: "Tell her, I will go to her in person in the afternoon."

"Okay, Mr. Mu."

After Lin Ze replied, he handed over another document.

"Mr. Mu, I found out this overnight. I have marked all the information about the maids in Chang'an Palace who have had contact with the queen."

Mu Jingchen glanced casually, and directly ordered: "Just find a reason and send them away."
