Naturally, they couldn't afford the high liquidated damages.

However, the job of a maid is highly subsidized, which is much better than the work of ordinary people outside the palace, and no one will intentionally break the contract.

The maid who wanted to leave the palace never thought about breaking the contract.

She heard that country L was about to invade, and she was terrified in her heart, and wanted to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.

The reason why I said that just now is that Huangfu Liyue is usually easy to talk to.

So she thought, Huangfu Liyue would not ask her to pay any liquidated damages, and maybe he would give her a sum of money to leave the palace early.

In this way, she can make a lot of money, and she doesn't have to serve people in the palace anymore.

Unexpectedly, the wishful thinking in her mind was wrong.

Now it is completely dumbfounded.

...

Huangfu Liyue is not an unreasonable person.

It's just that she hates this kind of small-minded person.

After leaving Chang'an Hall, she went straight to the direction of her father's bedroom.

However, she didn't go to her father's bedroom, but to the building behind her father's bedroom.

This building is the library in the palace. When Huangfu Liyue walked to the window on the top floor of the library, he could see the direction of his father's bedroom.

She sent away the people in the library, took out a telescope, and looked at the sky above her father's bedroom.

As far as she knows, the color and characteristics of carrier pigeons that can transmit information over long distances are different from those of ordinary pigeons.

She had to deal with the pigeon before the queen found it.

After observing with a telescope for a while, no birds were found in the sky.

She looked at the time and muttered, "It should be almost time."

It is now past seven in the morning.

It was early morning when Mu Jingchen called her after the border victory last night.

Judging from the time, the king of country L should have received the news of the defeat in the early morning.

He will definitely notify the queen immediately and discuss the next countermeasures with the queen.

According to the fastest flight speed of homing pigeons, it should be almost the same from early morning to now.

She held the binoculars and kept observing the sky above her father's dormitory in front of her.

Sure enough, 10 minutes later.

A gray carrier pigeon appeared above the father's bedroom.

Huangfu Liyue immediately put down the binoculars in her hand, and took out a crossbow from her overcoat.

She calculated the flying speed and route of the pigeon with her naked eyes, and shot a crossbow accurately.

The carrier pigeon fell directly from the sky and fell to the ground.

Huangfu Liyue took a long look at the place where it fell, and then stuffed the crossbow into a hidden compartment in the library.

Then, she tidied up her clothes and walked out of the library as if nothing had happened.

...

The carrier pigeon was shot down by her, and it happened to land on the road in front of the king's bedchamber.

The guards standing on both sides of the road spotted the carrier pigeon at a glance.

Seeing that the crossbow arrows were still stuck in the carrier pigeon, they all took out their weapons and looked around very vigilantly.

They didn't go to the carrier pigeon until they found nothing unusual around them.

When a guard was about to pick up the pigeon to check, Huangfu Liyue just ran over here.

"stop!"

She yelled at the guard.

The guard who was about to pick up the pigeon immediately stopped and turned to look at her.

"Princess?"

Huangfu Liyue ran over and picked up the pigeon from the ground.

"I saw this pigeon flying in the sky just now, so I shot it down. Don't worry about it, go watch it!"

The guards looked at each other and didn't suspect anything, they just reminded: "Princess, the crossbow arrows are very dangerous, please be careful."

"understood."

Huangfu Liyue hugged the pigeon, turned and left.

The guard looked at her back and shook his head.

In the current situation in the palace, it is really puzzling to them that the princess still wants to play pigeons here.

However, as Huangfu Liyue is a princess, they are not qualified to speak about what she does.

Watching Huangfu Liyue walk away, a guard asked the guard beside him: "Shall we report to the queen?"

The guard beside him said impatiently: "It's just a pigeon, what's there to report!"

Although they belonged to the queen, they didn't know that the queen and the king of country L would fly pigeons to pass letters. They just thought it was an unlucky pigeon flying past the palace.

...

Huangfu Liyue carried the pigeon back to Chang'an Palace.

When approaching Chang'an Hall, she watched Yi Ran standing at the entrance of the hall from a distance, looking around.

During this time, she always felt that Yi Ran was a little strange.

But with so many things happening in the palace, she had no time to take care of Yi Ran.

Looking at the carrier pigeon in his hand, and at Yi Ran at the gate of the hall, Huangfu Liyue stuffed the carrier pigeon into his coat casually.

After that, he went to Chang'an Hall.

Yi Ran, who was standing at the door, saw her coming back, and immediately put away his gaze from looking around.

"Princess, you are back."

"Ah."

She nodded slightly, walked past Yi Ran, and went straight upstairs.

Although Yi Ran didn't see the carrier pigeon wrapped in his coat, he could smell a faint smell of blood.

After Huangfu Liyue went upstairs, Yi Ran also quietly followed.

...

Upstairs room.

Huangfu Liyue detached a roll of small notes from the carrier pigeon's leg.

The letter reads: The plan has changed. Our army was surrounded by reinforcements from country E last night, and the entire army was annihilated. If country E and country Y unite, our country will become weak. Aunt, please quickly hand over the king of country Y to me as a hostage. situation!

Huangfu Liyue stared at the note, frowning.

The tone of this note should be written by the king of country L himself.

From this, she also learned a lot of information.

The reason why the frontier was victorious last night was because Country E sent troops to support it.

Could it be that Ye Ting had recovered Princess Lingxi, and by the way persuaded the Queen of Country E to send troops to help Country Y?

Thinking about it now, it seems that this is the only possibility.

Otherwise, how could Country E be willing to send troops to support it?

Huangfu Liyue withdrew her thoughts, and her eyes fixed on the note again.

It seems that the king of country L should know that his father is in the hands of the queen, so he wants the queen to hand over his father to country L to threaten country Y.

Otherwise, if Country Y and Country E join forces, he might not be able to hold back.

While staring at this note, Huangfu Liyue suddenly had an idea.

Now, only the queen knows about the mechanism of the underground palace, and she still doesn't know the situation of her father and mother.

If you want to meet your father, maybe this is your chance.

Maybe, he could take the opportunity to rescue his father and mother.

Thinking of this, she quickly found paper made of the same material as this note from the room, and copied the handwriting of the king of country L.

Write: Our army has entered the territory of country Y, and it is just around the corner to take over country Y. Aunt, the war will consume our troops. I hope you will hand over the king of country Y to me as a hostage as soon as possible, so that the people of country Y can surrender as soon as possible, and we will It doesn't take a single soldier to achieve what you want.

After writing this passage, Huangfu Liyue took another look at the handwriting of the king of country L.

After confirming that it was correct, she rolled up the note and stuffed it into her pocket.
