The president's wife with one child and five treasures is the favorite of the group

After walking along this road for more than ten minutes, Huangfu Liyue clearly saw a tall black tower in front of him.

If she guessed correctly, this should be the black tower that the maid said.

Seeing the black tower from a distance, she stopped in her tracks and whispered: "The black tower..."

She suddenly remembered that the place where the old grandfather who was imprisoned in the vat told her to go before he died seemed to be here!

At that time, because the old man lost his tongue and could not speak clearly, and died too quickly, she only heard the word "tower".

Looking back now, what he said seemed to be the "Black Tower"!

Thinking of this, Huangfu Liyue raised her eyes in surprise, and stared at the black tower in front again.

What the hell is this place?

The old grandfather gave her a key before and told her to come to the Black Tower, which seemed to mean that Xihe and the others could be saved if she came here.

But the old man didn't explain how to save him.

"Could it be that the key is used to open the Black Tower?"

With doubts in her heart, she strode forward, eager to unravel the secret of the black tower.

...

black tower.

Huangfu Liyue looked up at the pitch-black tower in front of her, feeling an inexplicable chill all over her body.

The scorching sun was clearly in the sky, and it was noon, which was when the sun was at its strongest.

But the black tower tightly blocked the sunlight, and the oppressive black made her feel like she was in a rainy day.

Looking around, apart from this tower, there are hundreds of meters of undeveloped dirt roads around here, which are incompatible with the luxurious and majestic castle behind.

How could there be such a strange building behind the castle?

Moreover, there is no one guarding it, as if it is a wasteland that has been stocked.

Just as she was looking at the surroundings of the tower, an old voice suddenly came out of the tower.

"Don't come in yet?"

Huangfu Liyue looked at the door in surprise.

The door was closed tightly without a gap, and there was no one else around.

How would the people inside know that she had come?

Before she had time to think about it, she took a step forward and pushed the door open.

Stepping into the black tower, she felt as if she had passed away.

There is no modern lighting equipment in it, only the most old-fashioned white candles.

Countless candles illuminated the dark environment, allowing her to see the general outline inside.

The furnishings inside are very simple, except for the lighting candles, there is only a jade bed and an old-fashioned wooden chair.

An octogenarian woman sat on the wooden chair.

This woman had gray hair, but she combed it very carefully. The white hair was rolled up in a simple bun on the back of her head, and it was dotted with pearls and emeralds.

The silver dragon pattern on the black dress seemed to reveal her unique identity.

Although he is an octogenarian, with wrinkles and dark spots covering his entire face, those shrewd and sharp eyes are still full of energy.

At this moment, her shrewd eyes were fixed on Huangfu Liyue.

Meeting her gaze, Huangfu Liyue looked calm, but couldn't help but feel apprehensive inside.

Even if she saw this old man for the first time, she could tell from the sharp eyes that this old man was by no means simple.

The two looked at each other, and the old man spoke first.

"Look at what I do, what I asked you to do, how is it going?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he stopped Huangfu Liyue directly.

She had no idea what the old woman asked Tang Xianjun to do.

In order not to reveal her identity, she looked embarrassed, bowed her head and replied: "Madam, this matter is a bit difficult, please give me some more time."

Hearing this, the old woman got up angrily.

"Yesterday you swore that you would make that little girl obedient within two days, but now it's been a day, and you haven't made any progress?"

Huangfu Liyue blinked lightly.

It turned out that the old woman asked Tang Xianjun to persuade Wubao to listen to her.

Looking up at the angry face of the old woman, she explained immediately.

"Old lady, don't be angry, this matter is not without progress, but you must be patient when dealing with children.

Only by letting her truly feel your kindness, will she be willing to listen to you. "

The anger in the old woman's eyes subsided a little.

"I've promised her the future throne, isn't that good enough for her?"

The meaning of speechlessness flashed across Huangfu Liyue's eyes.

"Madam, the throne may be very tempting to an adult, but to a child, it is not as real as a piece of fructose."

After the old woman was silent, she felt reasonable.

"Then what do you say?"

Seeing the opportunity came, she immediately suggested: "What children feel good is nothing more than being accompanied by their parents, having fun with their friends, and having enough food and drink..."

Before she finished speaking, the old woman interrupted with a cold face.

"Accompanying parents, having fun with friends? A future monarch doesn't need such vain things!"

Her blunt attitude told Huangfu Liyue very clearly that it was absolutely impossible for Wubao to see her parents again.

Huangfu Liyue did not provoke her, but followed her words.

"Madam, you are right, I am just giving you an example, but since she cannot be accompanied by her parents and friends, she still needs the most basic food and clothing.

Children are much more stubborn than adults, and it is not a long-term solution for you to starve her like this. If something goes wrong with starvation, it will be bad. "

Hearing her words, the old woman suddenly narrowed her eyes and looked her up and down.

"I haven't seen you for a day, and you seem to have become a lot more merciful."

Huangfu Liyue's eyes flickered, and she calmly said: "Madam, I am not being kind, but I am thinking of you.

That little girl is of the orthodox blood of the Ji family, and she is also the only one who is qualified to be a queen in terms of blood relationship.

Therefore, we can't treat her like a prisoner, otherwise she will hold a grudge when she ascends the throne in the future! "

The old woman let go of her guard and let out a cold "hum".

"Even if she becomes queen in the future, I won't hand over all the power to her, so how dare she hold grudges against me?"

Huangfu Liyue was a little speechless, and couldn't help complaining in her heart: When Wubao grows up, it will be a miracle that you are still alive, and you still plan to rule the world~

Wait, reigning power?

From the tone of this old woman, why does it seem that she is more powerful than the Queen?

While wondering, Huangfu Liyue suddenly smelled a rancid smell.

Just now, my attention had been on the old woman, only then did I realize that there was a mutilated corpse on the jade bed in front of me!

Although she couldn't see the whole body of the corpse clearly, based on the smell, she could tell that the person above had been dead for many days.

Looking at the profile of the corpse, the gray hair and thin cheeks...

This is... the grandfather who was imprisoned in the tank before!

Huangfu Liyue was startled when she recognized the corpse on the jade bed.

Why is this old grandfather here, and, after so many days, he hasn't been buried yet!

Her slightly complicated eyes fell on the old woman's eyes. The old woman frowned and said impatiently: "I have a way to control her. You don't have to be afraid that she will hold grudges against you after inheriting the throne. You just need to tell me, How long will it take for her to obey?"
