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

"Okay, Mr. Mu, then I'll send a message to the Duchess first."

"Ah."

Lin Ze turned and left, while Mu Jingchen went straight downstairs.

It was still early, only Yi Ran and a few maids were cleaning the hall downstairs.

When Yi Ran saw Mu Jingchen going downstairs, he immediately bowed his head and said hello.

"Mr. Mu, good morning."

Mu Jingchen was expressionless, and gave a light "um", but his eyes didn't rest on Yi Ran.

He went straight to the sofa, leaving only one sentence for Yi Ran: "Make a cup of tea here."

"Okay, Mr. Mu."

After Yi Ran responded, he watched Mu Jingchen sit down on the sofa in front of him, and instead of making tea immediately, he reached out and touched his right wrist.

The right wrist was poisoned last night. Although the toxin has been removed, the wrist has no strength now, and it is difficult to even lift it up.

She looked around and wanted to order her maid to make tea for him.

But the other maids were busy with other things, so they couldn't spare their hands at all.

After hesitating, she went to the kitchen by herself.

...

Mu Jingchen sat on the sofa, put his notebook on his lap, and checked the latest news from various countries.

Yi Ran came over with tea and brought it to him.

"Mr. Mu, please drink tea."

Mu Jingchen stared at the laptop screen, lost in thought on a piece of news about country L, and ignored Yi Ran.

Yi Ran was a little embarrassed, her hands holding the tea were still in the air.

Because of the weakness of his right hand, the teacup was shaking a little.

Helpless, she could only remind again: "Mr. Mu, the tea you asked for is ready."

Only then did Mu Jingchen come back to his senses.

He casually closed the notebook, and reached out to pick up the tea in Yi Ran's hand.

However, before his hand touched the teacup, Yi Ran's hand trembled suddenly, and the teacup slipped from her fingertips instantly.

With a sound of "chuck", the teacup touched the floor and fell into pieces, and the tea also splashed Mu Jingchen's foot.

There was a trace of panic in Yi Ran's eyes, and he quickly apologized: "Sorry, Mr. Mu, I was not sure at the moment, please forgive me."

Mu Jingchen glanced lightly at the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, and then moved his eyes to Yi Ran's right hand.

"You are hurt?"

After being spotted by him at a glance, she immediately admitted: "When I woke up last night, I accidentally fell and hurt my wrist. Mr. Mu, I'm really sorry."

Mu Jingchen stared at her right wrist without saying a word.

Yi Ran looked at his scrutinizing gaze, with a trace of nervousness in his eyes, but the surface was still calm.

She is wearing a long-sleeved dress, and others should not be able to see anything.

Mu Jingchen glanced behind him, looked away, and said nonchalantly, "Let someone clean it up."

"Yes, thank you Mr. Mu for your understanding."

Yi Ran thanked her repeatedly, and immediately called the maid to clean it.

After the broken porcelain pieces on the floor were cleaned up, Huangfu Liyue also got up.

When she went downstairs, she saw the maid tidying up a pile of broken porcelain and leaving the hall.

Seeing Mu Jingchen sitting in the hall, she walked over and asked, "What's going on? Who dropped the water glass?"

Mu Jingchen motioned her to look at the door.

At the door, Yi Ran was standing there.

Huangfu Liyue muttered in a low voice: "It's really strange, why does Yiran make such low-level mistakes so often recently?"

It is not uncommon for ordinary maids to make mistakes occasionally.

But Yiran is a female official, the most appropriate one selected from among the many maids.

A few days ago, it was just a matter of forgetting her and the child's habits, but now she can make mistakes even serving a cup of tea, which really puzzles her.

Hearing what she said, Mu Jingchen asked, "Often?"

"Well, a few days ago, she even forgot the habits that Wubao and I have always had."

Her words made Mu Jingchen take another look at Yi Ran.

Just now, Yi Ran said that her hand was injured from a fall, but Mu Jingchen observed that her wrist was not red or swollen at all.

From his experience, since he didn't get red, swollen or bruised, how can he be so painful that he can't even hold a cup of tea?

Obviously, Yi Ran was lying.

But why would she lie?

Mu Jingchen looked solemn, and asked Huangfu Liyue, "What's the background of this Yiran?"

She looked at him sideways: "You suspect Yi Ran?"

Last night they guessed that there might be ghosts in the palace.

Listening to Mu Jingchen's tone just now, it's not difficult for her to hear that Jingchen is suspicious of Yiran.

He also said without hesitation: "Before the inner ghost is found out, everyone in the temple is suspected."

Huangfu Liyue glanced at Yi Ran at the door.

"Yi Ran was serving at Ye Ting's side before, she handled affairs properly, was reliable, and her family background was clean, she entered the palace to serve her since she was a child.

After I recognized my relative, Ye Ting recommended her to my father, and my father arranged her to come to Chang'an Hall. As far as I know, she has never had any contact with the queen. "

The last sentence made Mu Jingchen put down his guard.

Since he has never had any contact with the queen, the chance of being an inner ghost is not high.

However, he did not let his guard down.

"Even so, you have to be more vigilant and take precautions before they happen."

"Ok!"

Huangfu Liyue immediately looked outside the door and put aside the topic.

"Now that the queen knows that the father and the king are uniting us to investigate the matter of the mother in private, she must feel threatened.

I think, she should also know that the father did not abdicate because he was deliberately delaying the time for us to find our mother.

I guess she won't wait any longer. For her own safety, she will definitely coerce her father to abdicate as soon as possible. "

Mu Jingchen didn't answer.

He agreed with her statement.

The queen felt threatened, and she would not wait obediently for another month.

Next, it depends on how the king responds.

...

the other side.

The king's guess was the same as the two of them. The queen would be furious when he knew that he had joined his daughter to deal with her. She took Feng Suying out and forced him to abdicate immediately.

However, they all guessed wrong.

The queen was the same as last night, and there was no movement at all.

Today, not only did she not show anger on her face, nor did she question the king.

Instead, he sat in the hall calmly drinking tea and eating pastries.

The king sat aside, looking at her leisurely appearance, suddenly he couldn't understand her.

She knew that she and her daughter were secretly investigating Su Ying's whereabouts, but she remained indifferent?

This is too unlike the Queen's temper.

The queen, who was eating the cake, noticed the gloomy look in the king's eyes, and the corners of her lips suddenly raised.

"Your Majesty, do you want to tell me something?"

The king looked cold, and said bluntly: "Now, I have done as you asked, and I have been handing over state affairs to Yuncheng every day, but it has been so long, I don't even know whether Suying is dead or alive."

The queen put down the pastry in her hand and stared at him.

"Your Majesty wants to see Feng Suying?"

She talked nonsense, and the king's face sank when she asked.

"Don't be fooled, Queen, I'll give you everything you want. I've even announced the news of my abdication early. Shouldn't you let me meet Suying?"

The queen slowly raised her eyelids, and a sinister smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Your Majesty has deep affection for Sister Suying. You want to see her. How can I refuse?"
