The queen came out of the black tower just in time to see this scene.

Seeing that the dead man took Quan Zhengrong away, she wanted to go up and argue with the old woman.

But as soon as he took a step, he retracted his foot again.

She knew the old lady's character too well, pleading for Quan Zhengrong would only make him die faster.

So, she didn't step out of the black tower until the old woman left.

...

When the queen returned to her residence, the maid Julie immediately stepped forward to greet her.

"Queen, are you alright?"

Julie is the queen's personal maid and has won the queen's trust.

She knew that the queen had been locked up by the old woman for the past two days, so she was very worried.

The queen replied lightly: "It's all right."

After letting the other maids in the residence retreat, she asked Julie again: "Did she catch a child during the two days I was imprisoned in the Black Tower?"

Julie clung to her ear and whispered: "Yes, Queen, I have already inquired. That child is locked in the Suzaku Pavilion and is guarded by the old lady's people."

Suzaku Pavilion is a vacant residence in the castle.

The queen frowned when she heard this, and paced back and forth slowly.

Julie saw her anxiety and asked, "Queen, what are you going to do now?"

The queen didn't know what to do, but her eyes were very firm.

"I will never let that child stay here and follow in my footsteps."

No one knows better than she the pain of being a queen.

This magnificent castle is actually a hell with a gorgeous appearance.

Even more terrifying than hell.

If that child stays here, what awaits her will be a fate beyond redemption.

She must stop this!

Julie frowned, and then said: "But Queen, no one can change what the old lady has decided. If you go against her, you will definitely get no benefit."

This is exactly what worries the Queen.

The old woman held the jade token to command the soldiers of the entire castle, and even the army of dead soldiers left by the ancestors was ruled by the old woman.

If they fight recklessly, the queen will definitely be the loser.

Thinking of this, the queen could not help but sigh.

"It would be great if I could get the order of the dead soldiers."

At these words, Julie raised her eyelids in shock, and quickly reminded: "Queen, this must not be heard by the old lady!"

The words "Old Madam" disturbed the Queen's expression.

She has been controlled for most of her life, and she doesn't want to be controlled for the rest of her life.

After a moment of silence, she suddenly asked, "How was that child captured?"

As far as she knew, the Mu family was a well-known nobleman in Jiangcheng, and the children were accompanied by bodyguards when they traveled. It was impossible for them to be caught in Country E so easily.

Julie thought about it for a moment.

"I don't know exactly how he was arrested. I only know that the child was brought back by Miss Tang."

"is her!"

The queen was quite shocked to learn that the five treasures were brought back by Tang Xianjun.

At the same time, I can also understand why Wubao was caught so easily.

Tang Xianjun and Huangfu Liyue look exactly alike, and those children could easily be mistaken.

Tang Xianjun was originally hers, but unexpectedly, he was bought by the old lady now!

"Yes, queen, Miss Tang is now staying with the old lady to serve her."

"what?"

The queen was wise and immediately realized that something was wrong.

The old woman was her grandmother, she had an extreme and stubborn personality, and never got close to anyone, so it was impossible for her to ask Tang Xianjun to stay by her side to serve her.

Therefore, for Tang Xianjun to stay by her side to serve her, he must have proposed it himself.

Tang Xianjun is still young and in the Mood for Love, how could he ask to stay with an old woman as a servant?

The queen suddenly thought that the reason why she went to Jiangcheng with Tang Xianjun was because Tang Xianjun happened to appear.

At the beginning, she did not discuss with the old lady, and let Ji Lingxi go on her own initiative.

But as soon as Ji Lingxi left, Country E would have no heir. She knew that the old lady would never let her go.

When she was worried about the heir, Tang Xianjun just appeared and begged her for Tang Yuan.

Seeing Tang Xianjun's face that was exactly the same as Huangfu Liyue's, she came up with the idea of ​​letting Tang Xianjun go to Jiangcheng to have a daughter with Mu Jingchen.

However, her plan didn't work out.

Now that Tang Xianjun asked to stay by the old woman's side to serve her, it was really strange.

Could it be that it was not a coincidence that Tang Xianjun appeared so coincidentally?

The queen sat down slowly, her brows were full of sorrow.

The development of the matter is completely out of her control.

"Send someone reliable to keep an eye on Tang Xianjun, and check her details. Before entering the Tang family, who was she?"

"Yes."

At the beginning, the Queen suspected that Tang Xianjun and Huangfu Liyue looked so similar, could they be sisters.

After Ke sent someone to investigate, it was found that the two had no connection.

Now that Tang Xianjun is taking refuge with her grandmother, she has to doubt this woman's purpose.

After explaining Tang Xianjun's affairs, the Queen asked again: "Have Mu Jingchen and his wife come to Country E?"

Julie shook her head.

"The people I sent didn't find out about Mu Jingchen."

"understood."

The queen replied absently with three words, and then stopped talking.

...

hotel.

Lin Ze came back to report the news.

"Mr. Mu, madam, Quan Zhengrong has been in the castle for several hours, and he hasn't come out yet."

Sitting on the sofa, Huangfu Liyue and Mu Jingchen immediately realized that something was wrong.

Ordinary people are not allowed to enter the castle to meet the Queen for more than half an hour. How could Quan Zhengrong stay there for so long?

Huangfu Liyue looked at Mu Jingchen and guessed: "Jingchen, could it be that the queen has achieved her goal and gave Quan Zhengrong to..."

Having said that, she paused.

Mu Jingchen could naturally hear the meaning of her words.

Quan Zhengrong has been in the castle for so long, probably something happened.

"She has a vicious nature, and she may not be unable to do this kind of thing."

Huangfu Liyue's brows were stained with worry.

If the queen doesn't even let Quan Zhengrong go, it would be a little bit inhumane.

It was too dangerous for the five treasures to fall into her hands.

Thinking of this, she couldn't sit still.

"We can't wait like this any longer, Jing Chen, let's lead our troops directly into the castle!"

"No."

Mu Jingchen directly rejected her suggestion.

"This will only put Wubao in a dangerous situation, and the best way to deal with the Queen is to outwit her.

Even when it comes time to send troops to confront, we have to find a suitable time. "

Huangfu Liyue thought that he was worried about defeat, and continued: "Jingchen, we have tens of thousands of people under our command, and Ye Ting can also provide support. If we suddenly send troops to attack the castle, the Queen will be caught off guard, and it is not impossible to win. "

Mu Jingchen shook his head, but still had no plans to send troops.

"You are thinking too simply, let alone whether we can break into the castle, even if we succeed, it will be futile.

As far as I know, the ancestors of country E left behind a huge army of dead soldiers.

The soldiers in this army are agile and quick to react.

What's even more frightening is that these soldiers are neither dead nor injured, as if they have no vitality, and the guns and knives have no effect on them at all. "
