Sibao's words suddenly warned her.

She rubbed her chin and thought: "The public opinion on the Internet exploded so violently overnight. It's not normal. I suspect that someone is manipulating it behind the scenes."

Sibao's expression was immediately serious.

"Mum, who do you think is the person behind the scenes?"

Huangfu Liyue remembered what Mu Jingchen told her before leaving the palace, and guessed, "Maybe, it's Huangfu Yuncheng."

Apart from him, she really couldn't think of anyone else.

She has only come to the palace not long ago, she doesn't know many people, and she has not offended anyone.

The only Huangfu Xun who regarded her as a thorn in his side is now dead.

Now, it seems that there is only Huangfu Yuncheng who sent Dongfang Yi to poison the princess.

"Mum, if the eldest prince is really targeting you, then you will be in trouble."

After finishing speaking, Sibao put his hands on the back of Mommy's hand and promised, "But Mommy, don't be afraid, I will protect you!"

Huangfu Liyue looked at the little hand on the back of her hand, with a smile on the corner of her mouth.She nodded and said, "Well, with the protection of my baby, Mommy is not afraid at all!"

She felt warm in her heart.

"By the way, baby, aren't you going to leave with your master these two days?"

"I'm worried about Mommy, stay with Mommy for a few more days, I've already said hello to the master, I want to wait for these unfavorable remarks to Mommy to disappear before leaving."

Hearing the child's words, Huangfu Liyue suddenly discovered that her own child had become more and more sensible at some point.

"Okay, let's go, go find grandpa with Mommy, and let's find out who is behind this deliberate troublemaker!"

...

Huangfu Liyue took the child all the way to the king's bedroom.

When he stepped into the bedroom, the king was sitting in the hall, holding the latest newspaper about Zhoucheng this morning in his hand.

His worry was particularly evident between his brows.

"Father."

"Grandpa!"

Hearing these two calls, the king raised his head, and the worry on his face eased a lot.

"Nuoxi, Four Treasures, come and sit down."

Huangfu Liyue sat down with the four treasures, and asked: "Father, did the person who set the fire last night find out the purpose of the arson?"

It was not difficult for the king to guess what she was coming for.

"Nuo Xi, did you come to find your father because you heard the crazy talk outside?"

She nodded without hesitation.

"Yes, this rumor spread across country Y overnight, and I even suspect that someone deliberately did it.

The supplies in Zhoucheng went wrong three times in a row. The people of Zhoucheng did not get relief in time, and more and more people died of starvation. It is only natural that the people complained.

There were three material accidents, the first was due to Huangfuxun's corruption, and the second was the collapse of the stone bridge. These two can be said to be coincidences.

But the supplies caught fire last night. I don’t think it was a coincidence. This batch of supplies did not catch fire sooner or later, but they were about to be sent to Zhoucheng, so they caught fire overnight.

After the fire, rumors about me spread throughout Country Y overnight, which seemed like a conspiracy. "

The king understood what she meant, and continued: "I thought about it too, it seems that someone is deliberately blocking the delivery of supplies to Zhoucheng, making this rumor intensify.

After several material accidents in a row, the people inevitably felt strange, and even believed the rumors from the outside world, thinking that it was your arrival that caused country Y to suffer.

Last night, I had someone check the details of the person who set the fire, and I was even more sure of this idea. "

Huangfu Liyue showed curiosity, and asked: "What is the background of that person?"

"He was a desperado who owed a huge debt. After he set the fire last night, no matter how he tortured him, he insisted that it was an unintentional mistake, and finally committed suicide in prison.

I asked someone to check his background, trying to find some clues, but when Hans arrived at his home, his wife and children had all been silenced and died tragically at home. "

Huangfu Liyue frowned, and sighed: "Sure enough, someone is causing trouble, and the person behind this is too vicious."

The person behind this is very cunning, knowing that a desperado who owes a huge debt is very easy to bribe.

Moreover, for the sake of their families, they will never leak the secrets, even committing suicide in prison, and they are unwilling to betray the benefactor behind them.

However, the sad thing is that this person should not know until his death, and his family will be implicated by him.

"Nuo Xi, who do you think is behind this manipulation?"

Facing father's sudden question, Huangfu Liyue opened her mouth, but stopped talking.

What she suspected was Huangfu Yuncheng.

But Huangfu Yuncheng is the biological son of his father, if she opens her mouth like this, it will be considered sowing dissension.

Seeing her perplexed expression, the king sighed, "If you don't tell me, my father will know that you are doubting Yuncheng in your heart."

He still remembers what Dongfangyi said to the king before.

Huangfu Yuncheng forced Dongfangyi to poison the princess.

Although the princess at that time was a fake, Huangfu Yuncheng's purpose was already very obvious.

The king had a good idea in his heart, but because of the face of the royal family, Huangfu Yuncheng was his biological son, so he never made it clear.

But in his heart, he had already had a grudge against this son.

When the king said this, the queen was standing on the second floor of the bedroom.

She could hear the conversation between the king and the king clearly.

Her hand tightly grasped the guardrail beside her.

The king actually suspected Yuncheng, which was a great disadvantage to Yuncheng.

She must not let her son take the blame.

...

downstairs.

Before Huangfu Liyue could reply, a maid walked in.

"Your Majesty, the hexagram master seeks an audience."

There was a hint of surprise in the king's eyes.

On weekdays, the hexagram master would only come if he summoned him.

After so many years, it was the first time that the hexagram master came to him on his own initiative.

After the maid finished speaking, the hexagram master had already walked in from the outside.

He was still dressed plainly, which seemed out of place in this luxurious dormitory.

After entering the hall of the bedroom, he went directly to the king and explained his purpose.

"Your Majesty, I have come to bid farewell to you today."

The king was surprised and puzzled.

"Farewell? Where is Gua Shi planning to go?"

"Your Majesty, I have been in this palace all my life. I have no wife, no children, no relatives and no reason. I have long been homeless and have nowhere to go.

But now it is the sixtieth year, and there is not much time in the future. I want to take advantage of the last time to see the scenery outside and travel in the clouds. "

The king was used to the heave master's life in the palace, so he suddenly said that he wanted to leave, it was inevitable that he would be a little uncomfortable.

But Gua Shi has always been one-sided. He knows that he can't keep him.

"Forget it, since the Gua Master has made up his mind, I have nothing to say. When I leave, I will personally send the Gua Master a ride."

The hexagram master refused.

"Don't bother Your Majesty, I'm used to being free, I just want to leave quietly and don't want to be disturbed."

After speaking, he suddenly took out three copper coins that had been around for a long time from his wrinkled pocket.

"This trip may end our relationship with His Majesty, and there is no possibility of seeing each other again. Before leaving, I would like to make one last fortune for Your Majesty and Country Y."
