The maid told all the news she had just inquired about.
"I heard from people in the palace that the princess entered the underground palace last night, and when she came out, she was covered in blood and was injured.
Only His Majesty can open the gate of the underground palace, so everyone guessed that the princess and His Majesty entered the underground palace together last night.
But now the princess is in the cell, but His Majesty is missing, so everyone in the palace is suspicious of the princess.
Someone in the palace said that the princess took the opportunity to take revenge on His Majesty because she was dissatisfied with His Majesty giving the position of heir to the eldest prince. "
This absurd guess made Dabao's face full of anger.
"Nonsense, how could my mommy take revenge on grandpa? This must be a rumor deliberately spread by someone!"
The brows of several children were instantly stained with sadness.
They also felt very clearly that this must be a conspiracy.
A conspiracy to put Mommy to death.
Now, Grandpa is missing, Mummy has been arrested, and Uncle Ye Ting is not in the palace.
They are not familiar with other people in the palace at all, and they can't ask others for help, so they can only find a way to rescue Mommy by themselves.
After being silent for a few seconds, Erbao suddenly said to Dabao and the others: "The most important thing now is to rescue Mommy first, brother, you go upstairs with me first, and we can discuss a solution."
The children did not hesitate, and went upstairs with Erbao.
Yi Ran didn't pay much attention to them, because in her eyes, a few children couldn't make much trouble, so she didn't need to worry about it.
...
Upstairs room.
Erbao called Daddy and told Daddy about Mommy's situation.
When Mu Jingchen heard that the king was missing and Huangfu Liyue was locked in a cell, he was silent for a few seconds.
He didn't expect that the queen could wait so impatiently.
He didn't say much, just said to Er Bao: "Mu Cheng, find a way to sneak out of the palace and find the Duchess in the Xiyuan outside the palace, she can keep your mommy."
Hearing Daddy's confident tone, Er Bao nodded solemnly.
"I know Daddy!"
Afterwards, Erbao asked again: "Daddy, how long will it take for you to come back?"
"There are at least two more days. Remember, no matter what happens in these two days, don't act rashly and wait for Daddy to come back."
"Okay, Daddy, don't worry!"
Erbao hung up the phone and told Dabao and the others what Dabao said just now.
The children immediately understood what Daddy meant.
They left the room, avoided the maids in the bedroom, and sneaked out of Chang'an Hall.
...
Palace main hall.
The disappearance of the king caused an uproar in the palace.
Because of this matter, the ministers discussed with Huangfu Yuncheng in the main hall.
With the king absent, Huangfu Yuncheng was the heir, so naturally he was the one to decide all matters in the palace.
At this moment, a minister is speaking on this matter.
"Eldest prince, the princess broke into the underground palace without permission last night, and was caught by the queen. When the princess came out of the underground palace, she was still covered in blood and wounds, as if she had fought with someone.
Only His Majesty knows how to open the gate of the underground palace. From this, it can be seen that the princess most likely entered the underground palace with the king.
But why only the princess came out of the underground palace alone, but His Majesty was nowhere to be found?Why did the princess have bloody wounds on her body? "
The minister who spoke was none other than a marquis named Aide who was bribed by the queen.
Before Huangfu Yuncheng could say anything, Duke William in the palace immediately refuted his words.
"Marquis Ed, aren't your remarks deliberately misleading the eldest prince, implying that the princess is responsible for the king's disappearance?"
Marquis Ed glanced at him disdainfully, and said with a straight face: "Duke William, don't put your hat on indiscriminately, I'm just stating something!"
Seeing that they were about to have a dispute, Huangfu Yuncheng opened his mouth.
"Okay, don't say such useless words."
After finishing speaking, he looked at the guards in the palace and asked, "Where's the Hans? Didn't he protect the father's safety 24 hours a day? He should know best how the father disappeared!"
The guard lowered his head and replied: "Commander Hans didn't listen to the patrolling guards' dissuasion last night and tried to break into the underground palace in vain. The Queen sent someone to arrest him. He is now in prison."
Huangfu Yuncheng's eyes showed a complex look.
Hans has always been impartial, how could he boldly break into the forbidden area?
In his heart, he probably had some conclusions about what happened last night.
He said to the guards: "Hans won't break into the underground palace for no reason, bring Hans here in a while, and I will interrogate him myself!"
"Yes!"
After explaining to the guards, Huangfu Yuncheng said again: "According to the guard at the gate of the palace, the father has not left the palace yesterday, so the father is probably still in the palace. Send an order to send more people to search for the father. whereabouts, especially around the underground palace!"
"Yes, Prince!"
After the guards retreated, Marquis Ed couldn't wait to say: "Prince, what should I do with the princess?"
Huangfu Yuncheng didn't have a good impression of Huangfu Liyue.
Besides, the evidence of her trespassing into the underground palace is solid, and he will not defend her.
"The princess is guilty of the same crime as the common people. Even if the father is here today, there is no reason to protect her. Let her be convicted according to the laws of country Y!"
A look of success flashed across Marquis Ed's eyes.
But the queen promised him that as long as Huangfu Liyue was convicted, he would be promoted to the position of duke.
After Huangfu Yuncheng gave the order, the other ministers all looked at each other in blank dismay.
According to the laws of Country Y, Huangfu Liyue was indeed a capital offence.
But no matter what, she is the king's daughter. Besides, the king is missing now. It seems inappropriate to rush to convict her at this time.
However, some ministers did not dare to intercede for her even if they thought it was wrong in their hearts. Otherwise, they would be questioning the laws of country Y.
At this moment, a sharp female voice came from the door.
"Wait!"
All the ministers were a little surprised.
Women's family members are not allowed to participate in the discussion of state affairs in the main hall.
They all looked towards the entrance of the hall, wondering who was so bold to break into the main hall.
At the same time, the Duchess of Xiyuan outside the palace appeared at the gate of the palace.
She was dressed grandly and walked in with her head held high.
When Huangfu Yuncheng saw her, he was slightly surprised.
"Duchess, what are you doing here?"
After saluting to Huangfu Yuncheng, she said: "Your Highness, I'm here for the princess. I think it's not appropriate for Your Highness to deal with the princess now, and she should be let go."
Her righteous words disrupted Marquis Ed's plan.
Marquis Ed stood up very dissatisfied and accused her.
"Duke Duchess, it's already rude for you to break into the main hall without being notified, and now you still ask the eldest prince to release the princess, are you ignoring the laws of the country?"
The Duchess looked at him squarely, and asked back: "Marquis Ed always said that I don't care about the laws of the country, so let me ask the Marquis, what laws of the country did the princess break?"
Marquis Ed thought her question was extremely ridiculous.
"Does it need to be said? This is the second time for the princess to trespass into the underground palace. According to the laws of Country Y, trespassing is a capital offense. Is the Duchess planning to openly challenge the laws of our country?"
"I heard from people in the palace that the princess entered the underground palace last night, and when she came out, she was covered in blood and was injured.
Only His Majesty can open the gate of the underground palace, so everyone guessed that the princess and His Majesty entered the underground palace together last night.
