Helpless, she could only eat with her left hand, which she was not used to.

After a while, several children walked into the restaurant.

They saw Mummy's strange eating posture at a glance.

Wubao leaned over like a curious baby.

"Mommy, why do you eat with your left hand like sister Yiran?"

Huangfu Liyue stopped her movements and looked at Wubao.

"Sister Yiran also eats with her left hand?"

She met Yi Ran once when he was dining with the maid, and she remembered that Yi Ran was not left-handed.

Wu Bao nodded cutely.

"Yeah, sister Yiran holds the tableware with her left hand, exactly the same as Mommy now!"

These words reminded Huangfu Liyue of Yi Ran breaking the teacup before.

Yi Ran's right hand was also injured, and he couldn't even hold the cup.

She remembered that at that time she wanted to see Yi Ran's injured wrist, but Yi Ran directly refused.

I don't know if it's because of being too sensitive, or because there are too many things happening recently, a terrible thought suddenly popped up in Huangfu Liyue's mind.

Could it be that Yi Ran was also poisoned by the hidden weapon in the underground palace?

This thought made her shudder.

She immediately looked at the maid beside her and asked, "Where's Yi Ran?"

The maid replied: "Ms. Yiran is over there in the kitchen."

"Call her over."

"Yes."

At this moment, at the entrance of the restaurant.

Yi Ran, who was about to enter the restaurant, heard the conversation between Huangfu Liyue and Wubao.

She knew that Huangfu Liyue must be suspicious of her.

She stopped in her tracks, remained silent at the door for a second, then turned and returned to the kitchen.

...

After a while, the maid brought Yi Ran into the restaurant.

"Princess, Miss Yiran is here."

Yi Ran walked up to Huangfu Liyue, and asked with a smile, "Princess, what's the matter with you calling me?"

Huangfu Liyue put down the bowl and chopsticks, and looked at Yi Ran.

"Yi Ran, didn't you hurt your wrist a while ago? I forgot to ask you, how is your recovery?"

"It's recovering well, thank you princess for your concern."

As he spoke, Yi Ran lifted up his cuffs and showed her his wounds.

On her wrist, there was a clearly visible, unhealed bloodstain, which seemed to be caused by a collision.

Huangfu Liyue's gaze stayed on this bloodstain for a few seconds.

"How did you do this?"

"Princess, I accidentally fell when I got up at night and was scratched by a sharp object."

"Let me see."

Huangfu Liyue stood up, raised her hand, and checked her wound.

After examining it carefully, she found that there was nothing wrong with the wound.

However, there is still some redness and swelling on the wrist, and it is not sure whether it is a recent injury or an injury suffered some time ago.

After checking, she let go of her hand and said only one sentence: "I have some ointment here, which should be useful to you. I'll bring it to you later."

Yi Ran expressed gratitude, "Thank you, Princess."

Huangfu Liyue stopped talking and continued eating.

Yi Ran put down his cuffs and breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now, she deliberately went to the kitchen to "create" a wound.

With the naked eye, it is difficult for ordinary people to see how long the wound has existed.

She thought that Huangfu Liyue should dispel her doubts.

...

in the afternoon.

Huangfu Liyue went to the eldest prince's bedroom.

When he entered the door, he saw Huangfu Yuncheng sitting there with a worried face, and put aside the state documents in front of him.

Huangfu Liyue walked over, unceremoniously sat down opposite him, and only said: "Father is in the underground palace."

Huangfu Yuncheng raised his eyes to look at her, with surprise flashing across his eyes.

However, it was fleeting.

Last night, both Huangfu Liyue and his mother appeared in the underground palace, and his father disappeared inexplicably. He can probably guess what happened to the three of them that night.

It's just that he didn't know the specific situation.

Hearing what Huangfu Liyue said now, he half-believes and half-doubts: "Since father is in the underground palace, why hasn't he shown up until now?"

Huangfu Liyue replied: "According to my observation, there should be other secret passages in the underground palace. Moreover, only the queen knows about this passage. Only the queen knows why the father hasn't shown up until now."

Huangfu Yuncheng found it incredible.

Only the king knows how to open the royal underground palace. How can the queen mother know the underground palace like the back of her hand?

Huangfu Liyue continued: "The queen hates my father to the bone. One can imagine the current situation of my father. Brother Wang, I hope you can distinguish right from wrong and join me in rescuing my father as soon as possible. Don't let this farce intensify."

Huangfu Yuncheng sighed lightly.

"Why don't I want to find my father immediately, but I don't know how to open the gate of the underground palace at all."

"I know, but I only know the method to open the underground palace, and I don't know the secrets of other secret passages in the underground palace. Therefore, I want to see the design drawings of the underground palace and study it."

Huangfu Yuncheng looked troubled.

"I'm afraid this is a little difficult. This underground palace has existed for a hundred years. The person who designed this underground palace has never even seen my father, let alone the blueprint of the underground palace structure."

Huangfu Liyue was slightly disappointed.

Without blueprints, she could not explore the secrets of the underground palace, nor could she find her mother and father.

Seeing her worried face, Huangfu Yuncheng said, "However, since you have spoken, I will send someone to investigate as soon as possible."

"Thank you."

She did not expect that Huangfu Yuncheng was so easy to talk this time.

"Brother Wang, there is one more thing. Last night, Hans and I witnessed the queen taking my father to the underground palace. Therefore, both of us can testify that the disappearance of my father is related to the queen."

She said this because she hoped that Huangfu Yuncheng could directly ask the Queen about the secret of the underground palace.

However, Huangfu Yuncheng already knew what she said.

He also knew that the queen mother would not say anything.

If he goes to persecute the queen mother again, the queen mother is not sure what radical things he will do again.

Therefore, he only intends to turn a blind eye to it.

"What you said is after all a one-sided opinion between you and Hans. I will not pursue the matter of you and Hans trespassing in the underground palace. Don't mention it again."

"Brother Wang..."

"Stop talking, I have already promised you that you will find your father as soon as possible, and I will make my own decisions about the rest."

Huangfu Liyue could tell that he still intended to protect the queen.

However, from his point of view, it is human nature that he does not want to send his mother to prison with his own hands.

However, she was afraid that his tolerance would only result in the queen's unscrupulousness.

"Okay, then I'll go first."

She didn't say anything more, because she knew that compared to his queen mother, she was soft-spoken and her words had no weight.

After silently walking out of Huangfu Yuncheng's bedroom, she looked up at the dark sky and suddenly felt very depressed.

Although Huangfu Yuncheng promised to help find his father, it was obvious that he was unwilling to deal with the queen.

If he turned a blind eye to the queen's behavior, the queen would be even more presumptuous.
