"Grandpa, are you okay?"

The old man's body was imprisoned in the tank, and she could only watch him anxiously.

The old man didn't move, but his eyes moved, as if telling her that he was fine.

Huangfu Liyue knew that his body had reached its limit.

She looked at what she had just torn from his neck in her hands.

It turned out to be a very unique key.

The key is also engraved with a unique totem pattern.

She is very familiar with the pattern of this totem.

It is exactly the same as the dragon pattern on Jingchen's jade ring finger!

This is the pattern representing the royal family of E.

Could it be that this old man is also a member of the royal family?

With more and more doubts in her heart, she hurriedly asked, "Grandpa, where is the key?"

His eyes were dim, and he was unable to raise his head anymore, like a candle that was exhausted, waiting to be extinguished.

He stared at the outside of the house, whispering weakly: "The Black Tower..."

She didn't hear clearly, and moved closer.

"what did you say?"

"black……"

The old man stared ahead, his eyes wide open, and suddenly stopped whispering.

Huangfu Liyue looked surprised: "Grandpa!"

She touched the tip of his nose with her index finger, and could no longer feel a trace of breath.

But she could clearly see that there was loneliness and guilt in this old man's eyes.

She thought, there must be many things in his heart that he couldn't let go of.

Being tortured like this, and still living to such an old age, he must have the strength to support him.

Huangfu Liyue raised her hand, and slowly stroked his eyelids, letting him rest in peace.

"Grandpa, don't worry, I will try my best to save your great-grandson."

Bowing to the old man, she put away the key and walked out.

It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, and with the grandfather's death, if she stays here again, it will only bring disaster to her.

She walked out of the house and was about to climb over the wall to leave, but suddenly stopped in her tracks.

Her keen hearing made her feel that there was someone outside!

And, more than one!

She held her breath and made no sound.

Thinking of the row of footprints she left on the ground just now, it was not difficult for her to guess who was at the door.

If he went out like this, he would definitely be caught.

Under her thoughts, she could only look at the roof of the yard, not taking an unusual path.

She moved quickly and flipped up in a few seconds.

Afraid of attracting attention, she crawled to the back of the roof.

On the road not far behind the house, patrolling soldiers passed by from time to time.

She saw the timing, and when the patrolling soldiers looked at another place, she jumped off the roof and hid in the corner.

At this moment, she looked at the key in her palm and remembered what the old man had said to her just now.

Grandpa asked her to go to a place called Hei.

Could it be that this place could save his great-grandson?

Holding the key, Huangfu Liyue was a little puzzled.

It seems that the old man hasn't told her how to get out of here...

While thinking, a sharp-eyed soldier suddenly spotted her.

"She's there!"

Seeing that the situation was wrong, she ran away.

It's a pity that there are soldiers all over the castle. After the soldier yelled just now, she was immediately surrounded.

The soldiers knew that this was the woman the queen ordered to find.

"Come on! Take her away!"

"Yes!"

The soldier was about to step forward to grab her, when a sharp voice suddenly came from not far away.

"stop!"

Hearing this familiar voice, Huangfu Liyue looked towards the source of the voice in surprise.

I saw Huangfu Yeting striding towards this side, his pace hurried.

Seeing her younger brother coming, her hanging heart will finally let go.

Huangfu Yeting came up to him, protected her behind him, and said to the surrounding soldiers: "I am Huangfu Yeting, the prince of Prince Y, and the person behind me is my own sister, Huangfu Liyue, from country Y." Princess, what do you want to do to her?"

The soldiers stared wide-eyed.

They didn't know Huangfu Liyue's identity, they only knew that Huangfu Liyue was the one the Queen ordered to hunt down.

Huangfu Liyue was no longer isolated and helpless, but also gained confidence.

"Why are you still standing there, aren't you going to arrest me to meet the queen? Lead the way!"

...

main hall.

Hee and the others were dragged in front of the queen by soldiers.

At this moment, they are covered with bruises.

The Queen's eyes gradually darkened as she looked at Xihe and the others in distress.

"what happened?"

The leader of the soldiers immediately stepped forward and replied: "Your Majesty, these people are familiar with the terrain of the castle and helped the fugitive escape!"

Seeing him open his mouth, Xihe immediately retorted: "We don't, he has no evidence at all...ah..."

Before he finished speaking, Xihe was kicked to the ground by the leader of the soldiers.

The leader didn't let him interrupt at all, and continued to say to the queen: "Your Majesty, they admitted it with their own mouth just now, but now they are so stubborn!"

When the leader said this, he glanced at his subordinates behind him.

The people under him immediately echoed: "Yes, Your Majesty, all our soldiers can testify!"

Xi and the others couldn't speak, so they could only shake their heads.

The queen looked at Xihe and the others indifferently, her gaze was not the slightest bit warm.

"I gave you a way to survive, but you just don't cherish it. It seems that I have been too tolerant to you all these years."

Although the queen's tone was soft, she was not angry.

Just looking at her eyes, Xihe and the others felt chills down their spines.

Xi He bravely straightened his back, and replied: "Stop being hypocritical, you and your subordinates have staged such a play, you are doing everything possible to put us brothers to death!"

Xi and the man behind him also answered the conversation one after another.

"Exactly! What did you say to give us a way out, I am! We have lived a life that is not as good as pigs and dogs all these years, and it is all thanks to you!"

"Deliberately humiliating us for so many years, now I finally can't bear it and wants to kill us!"

"Let me tell you, we are not afraid of you, you will kill us all if you have the ability, but I want to see, you woman with bloody hands, can you sleep at night!"

Although these people were a little afraid of the queen, they hated the queen even more.

Seeing their mouths so fierce, the queen was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly raised her hand, and ordered: "In this case, I will grant you, come, take them down, and choose a day..."

"Wait!"

Huangfu Liyue broke into the main hall and snorted the Queen.

The queen watched her enter the hall with Huangfu Yeting, her eyes narrowed slightly.

Huangfu Liyue looked at Xihe and the others, and said directly: "Your Majesty, these people did not help me escape, everything is because your incompetent subordinates wanted to escape punishment, so you found them as scapegoats."

The queen's icy eyes immediately glanced at the soldier leader.

The leader of the soldiers looked guilty, and quickly explained: "Queen, she is talking nonsense, don't believe her, these people are in the same group as her!"

What is right and what is wrong, the Queen already knows it well.

She didn't say much, she sneered and hooked her lips.

"Whether they are accomplices or not, it does not conflict with your incompetence. Under my command, I never support useless people."
