She stared out of the window in a daze, without noticing that there was an elderly woman standing outside the door at the moment.

The old man leaned on a cane and was watching her eeriely through the crack of the door.

After watching her for a while, the old man turned around and walked to the other side.

The old man was followed by a maid.

Seeing the old man walking to the stairs, the maid skillfully took her crutches, supported her, and reminded: "Be careful of the stairs."

The old man didn't answer, and looked ahead with cloudy eyes.

"Who is the imprisoned woman?"

The maid glanced back and replied, "It's the princess of country Y, her name is Huangfu Liyue."

"Huangfu Liyue..."

The old man murmured the name, somehow feeling a little familiar.

Suddenly, she stopped and looked at the maid.

"Her last name was Bai?"

"Yes, this princess has been lost for many years, and was only recognized by the Huangfu family later."

The old man narrowed his wrinkled eyes slightly, and said meaningfully: "It's her."

After uttering these two words, she smiled coldly, and suddenly understood why the queen wanted to lock Huangfu Liyue here.

"It seems that she really took great pains to protect her son."

The maid looked puzzled and asked cautiously, "Son? You mean..."

The old man looked sideways at the maid, with a sharp look in his cloudy eyes.

The maid quickly put away her curiosity, lowered her head, and slapped herself.

...

the other side.

Mu Jingchen arrived in Country E and stayed in a hotel outside the castle.

He didn't go to see the Queen directly, but sat quietly in the hotel, as if he was waiting for someone.

After a while, a man opened the door and entered.

Looking at Mu Jingchen who was sitting quietly on the sofa, he called out, "Brother-in-law."

Mu Jingchen nodded at him.

"sit."

Huangfu Yeting sat across from him.

"Brother-in-law, what is the Queen's purpose in arresting my sister and coming to Country E?"

With a serious face, Mu Jingchen said deeply: "The purpose, I will know when I see her."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Huangfu Yeting and asked, "Did you bring the things I asked you to bring?"

Huangfu Yeting immediately looked at the guard behind him.

The guard immediately handed the official letter to Mu Jingchen.

Mu Jingchen opened the official letter and glanced at it.

This is an official letter written by Huangfu Yuncheng.

He was the one who asked Huangfu Yeting to ask for it from Huangfu Yuncheng before coming to E country.

Huangfu Yuncheng is now the king of country Y, and he asked to see the queen in his name, but the queen could not refuse.

After reading it, Mu Jingchen closed the official letter and handed it back to the guard.

"It's not too late, send the official letter to the castle as soon as possible, and we'll just wait for the summons."

"Yes."

The guard then left the room.

Watching the guards leave, Huangfu Yeting was still worried.

"Brother-in-law, even if we managed to meet the queen, if she denies arresting my sister or refuses to let her go, we can't be hostile to the queen, right?"

Mu Jingchen's eyes were cold, and he said slowly: "This is the territory under her jurisdiction, we can't fight against her openly."

As he said that, he looked at Huangfu Yeting squarely, and continued: "You don't have to worry about this, you just need to take me into the castle, and I have my own plans for the rest."

Huangfu Yeting knew that he was doing things properly, so he nodded immediately.

"it is good."

Mu Jingchen had already guessed that if he asked to meet the queen himself, she would most likely refuse.

But if Huangfu Yeting asked for an interview in the name of Country Y, she would have no reason to refuse.

...

soon.

Inside the castle.

The soldiers handed over Huangfu Yeting's official letter to the Queen.

The queen looked at the country seal of country Y on the official letter, her eyelids drooping slightly.

On the official letter, it was written that Huangfu Yeting was sent by Huangfu Yuncheng to visit Country E.

Huangfu Yuncheng personally wrote the official letter, if she refused to ask to see her, it would be too unfriendly.

She also knew that Huangfu Yeting's request to see him at this time must be because of Huangfu Liyue.

Looking at the seal on the official letter, she whispered: "It seems that I really underestimated this son."

She could guess that this must be Mu Jingchen's idea.

Mu Jingchen predicted that she would not see him.

Therefore, Huangfu Yeting was brought in, and she had to meet him.

While staring at the official letter in a daze, a soldier suddenly walked in outside the door.

"Queen, please see Mr. Quan."

The Queen slowly closed the official letter and put it on the table.

"Let him in."

"Yes!"

The soldiers went out and brought Quan Zhengrong in.

He also came to Country E yesterday after trying to stop Mu Jingchen to no avail.

When he saw the queen, he immediately gave a big gift.

"See the queen."

The queen said lightly: "You don't need to be too polite, just sit down."

The soldier immediately brought a chair and put it behind him.

Quan Zhengrong took a look, but did not sit down.

"Queen, Jing Chen... has come to Country E."

The Queen's face was calm, and she replied, "I know."

Quan Zhengrong looked at her cold expression, and continued: "Jingchen's affection for Liyue exceeded my expectations. This time he came to Country E, he must ask you to return Liyue."

The queen still said: "I know."

Her emotions are not shown on the surface, and Quan Zhengrong can't see her inner thoughts.

So, he tentatively asked, "Then what are you going to do?"

The queen looked directly at him.

"What, are you playing tricks on me?"

"No, since I decided to help you, I will definitely respect your idea."

"In that case, don't ask too much."

The queen's words were cold, which made Quan Zhengrong shake his head.

"Okay, but I have to remind you that Jingchen has a deep grudge against you, I hope you don't do things too harshly, otherwise, in his heart..."

"It doesn't matter how he sees me, I just need to get what I want from him."

Quan Zhengrong frowned, suddenly he couldn't understand her.

"But he is yours after all..."

The queen's face darkened, and she reprimanded: "You talk too much today, you shouldn't say it, it's best not to speak!"

Quan Zhengrong looked at her with a cold and arrogant face, and frowned even tighter.

"Okay, I'm talking too much, let's go first."

The queen looked at his back and said coldly: "If you go to see him again, remember to persuade him not to be persistent."

Quan Zhengrong stayed for a second, then strode away.

...

in the afternoon.

Huangfu Yeting received the queen's response and summoned him to the castle to have an audience.

Without further ado, Huangfu Yeting immediately took Mu Jingchen to the castle.

Mu Jingchen changed into the costume of Huangfu Yeting's bodyguard, and entered the castle with him.

Soon.

The soldiers led the two to the main hall.

The moment he stepped into the hall, Mu Jingchen stared straight at the woman sitting in front of the hall.

This woman is wearing a beige long skirt with a white gold silk phoenix pattern and a stand-up collar cape, which is noble, elegant and full of domineering.

Sitting in this luxurious hall with a calm expression, she did not violate harmony, but instead gave people an inexplicable sense of oppression.

Mu Jingchen looked at this cold and arrogant woman, his eyes turned cold.

Although she had been away for so many years, this face was deeply imprinted in his mind.

He clearly knew that this was his mother, the former Wan Qing.
