The servant withdrew and closed the door as she ordered, leaving her and Mu Jingchen alone.

The moment the door closed, the Duchess looked at Mu Jingchen, and said incredulously, "You are the owner of that finger?"

Mu Jingchen nodded solemnly: "Yes."

After getting his affirmative answer, the Duchess suddenly knelt down on her knees, put one palm on the back of the other, and saluted him.

Regarding this, Mu Jingchen looked indifferently, without any reaction.

"Get up."

The Duchess stood up now and said respectfully, "Mr. Mu, please sit down."

Mu Jingchen sat on the mahogany chair directly in front of him, looked at the Duchess standing in front of him, and asked, "Why do you want to see me?"

The Duchess thought about Lin Ze's coming to the mansion to look for her yesterday, and replied: "Yesterday, Mr. Mu sent someone to tell me that something happened in the palace, and the Queen tried to force His Majesty to abdicate?"

Mu Jingchen remained silent and looked at her expressionlessly.

She continued: "I know, Mr. Mu, what you mean is that I hope that when there is a big change in the palace in the future, I can stand by the princess and lend a helping hand."

Judging from the current situation, the queen has become hostile to the king.

Although the queen has the king's handle now, the king is tolerant of her, not to the point of fighting with swords.

But the two are no longer incompatible, and sooner or later they will be at the point of life and death.

The king has country Y as a pillar, but the queen is not inferior, and has country L as her backing.

Moreover, the queen and the current king of country L are not only close relatives, but also have a good relationship in private.

If the king and her are on the point of meeting swords, the queen will definitely seek help from country L.

At that time, it is inevitable that war will be provoked.

If she finally met the king with swords, one can imagine what a farce it would be.

Mu Jingchen thought far-reaching. In order to avoid this from happening, he asked Lin Ze to inform the Duchess in advance, hoping that she could help the king at a critical time.

At this moment, he said bluntly: "That's right."

The Duchess looked troubled.

"Mr. Mu, I really want to help you, but I'm afraid I'm powerless.

The queen is good at winning people's hearts, and now that the eldest prince has become the heir again, there are probably many ministers in the court who are close to her.

Although my husband holds part of the military power, his strength is small after all. The queen not only has the support of ministers, but also the country L as a pillar.

In addition, the successive kings of country L have always been ambitious. When the previous king was alive, the two countries fought for a year because of territorial issues.

Later, because of the marriage between the king and the queen, the war between the two countries was quelled for so many years, but I heard that country L has been preparing for war in secret.

It can be seen that the current king of country L is not satisfied with the status quo, and it is impossible to guarantee that he will take this opportunity to disadvantage country Y.

If this is the case, it is far from enough to rely on one soldier in my husband's hands. Mr. Mu must make a more long-term plan to ensure nothing goes wrong. "

What she said was exactly what Mu Jingchen was worried about now.

If the queen breaks the pot and directly provokes chaos, and she has Feng Suying in her hands, will the king have a 100% chance of winning by then?

The duchess saw his worries, and suddenly said: "However, Mr. Mu, I may not be able to help you, but if you want to keep the princess safe in this struggle, I have a way."

Mu Jingchen looked at her: "What?"

The Duchess took two steps forward, approached his ear, and whispered a few times in his ear.

After Mu Jingchen listened, suspicion appeared in his eyes.

"Sure?"

Seeing the suspicion in his eyes, the duchess smiled and said: "Mr. Mu, the reason why you asked someone to bring that wrench to me for help is because you know the meaning of that wrench. What I said is true or false, you can Give it a try."

Mu Jingchen stared at the puller on his thumb, his eyes gradually darkened.

...

Chang'an Hall.

When Mu Jingchen came back here, he told Huangfu Liyue that he had to travel far away.

She was very surprised and asked, "A long trip? Now?"

Mu Jingchen nodded.

"Correct."

"So suddenly, is there something urgent?"

In response to her questioning, Mu Jingchen subconsciously glanced around.

Seeing Yi Ran and several maids by his side, he replied: "Well, the company has some urgent matters to deal with temporarily."

"It was too sudden."

Huangfu Liyue sensed something was wrong.

Now is the time when the father needs their assistance. Isn't he unable to distinguish the priorities when he is dealing with the company's affairs at this time?

But after thinking about it carefully, he has always done things safely, and he would not have made such a decision if he hadn't thought carefully.

Mu Jingchen saw the doubts in her heart, and said softly: "Don't worry, on the day of the death of the late king, I will come back as soon as possible."

She naturally understood the hint in his words.

On the day of the deceased king's death, the underground palace will be opened, and at that time, they will have the opportunity to go in and search.

"Okay, you go early and come back early."

"Ah."

Before leaving, he gently wrapped his arms around her and held her in his arms.

Seeing this, the maids in the hall all lowered their heads.

He lowered his head slightly, put his thin lips close to her ear, and whispered: "Remember, before I come back, don't act rashly, even if the queen makes any movement."

It was barely audible, and no one could hear it except her.

Huangfu Liyue gave a soft "hmm".

After the two said goodbye, Mu Jingchen greeted several children again.

After that, he left Chang'an Hall directly.

He left in such a hurry that Huangfu Liyue sensed that something was wrong, but he didn't have the chance to inquire deeply.

Watching him leave, she also thought in her mind, what did he do?

After her thoughts were fruitless, she was a little worried about her father.

For a whole day, there was no movement from the father's side, and the queen didn't seem to be angry because she knew that they were secretly investigating her mother.

All this is so abnormal.

She was worried about her father, so she went straight out of Chang'an Hall to find her father.

...

At this moment, the king is resting with his eyes closed in the back garden.

When Huangfu Liyue came here, she found Richard standing behind her father without leaving her.

"Father."

She walked over and greeted her father as if nothing had happened.

Richard's eyes were wary when he saw her.

The queen had told him that the king must never be alone with anyone, especially Huangfu Liyue.

At this moment, the king slowly opened his eyes.

Seeing Huangfu Liyue coming, he glanced at Richard, and ordered: "Go down first, I'll have a word with Nuo Xi."

Richard naturally refused to leave, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the queen has ordered that you are not in good health and must be taken care of at every step."

The king sneered and looked at Richard with dark eyes.

"Richard, my king hasn't abdicated yet, so I ordered you not to move?"

Sensing the murderous look in the king's eyes, Richard didn't dare to move out the queen, so he could only retreat obediently.
