Huangfu Liyue was silent for a few seconds, and then asked: "My aunt said that after her mother committed suicide, she was kicked out of the palace by the queen, and then she was inexplicably hunted by people in the palace, and then she fled to country e."
The king nodded.
"Yes, after Su Ying committed suicide, I returned to the palace and planned to ask Feng Su about the reason for Su Ying's suicide, but Feng Su was no longer in the palace.
After investigation, I learned that it was the queen who kicked Su Ying out of the palace because she failed to take good care of her.
As for her saying that she was being hunted, it was probably a misunderstanding. She probably mistook the person I sent out to find her as a killer. "
Huangfu Liyue suddenly realized.
It turns out that my aunt has always misunderstood, that¡¯s why she hates my father so much.
The king looked at her and continued: "Is Feng Su in Chang'an Palace?"
She nodded without any secret.
"Yes, I saved my aunt before and sent her out of the palace. I wanted her to spend her remaining years outside the palace.
But within two days, she suddenly called me and said that someone was assassinating her.
When I rushed over, the killer had already left, but left behind a badge of a palace guard.
At that time, apart from me and Jingchen, the only one who knew that my aunt was still alive was you, my father. "
The king remembered the previous scene when he was questioned by her for no reason, and he understood everything instantly.
"If I wanted to kill her, I wouldn't have to put in so much effort."
Huangfu Liyue lowered his head in shame.
"Father, I was too reckless before and came to question you indiscriminately. I'm sorry."
The king raised his hand.
"My father didn't blame you. In that situation, it's not surprising that you would think it was your father who did it."
Huangfu Liyue's eyes were serious and he replied: "Jingchen later sent people to investigate the matter of aunt being hunted down. We all agreed that aunt was probably directing and acting on her own. However, what I can't figure out is, Why did aunt do this?"
The king sighed softly.
¡°It¡¯s just to drive a wedge between you and my father and daughter, and to take revenge on me.¡±
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Huangfu Liyue to say anything, the king continued: "She is Su Ying's relative. I can save her life, but the matter has come to this. You must send her away as soon as possible and keep her in the palace. There¡¯s no benefit at all.¡±
Huangfu Liyue understood what his father meant, lowered his eyes and said, "Yes, father."
When she knew that her aunt had been lying, she no longer wanted to keep her by her side.
Even though the aunt is a relative of the mother, they are not familiar with her, and she knows nothing about this aunt.
She can¡¯t leave a time bomb around.
After replying to his father¡¯s words, Huangfu Liyue suddenly said: ¡°Father, I have another unkind request.¡±
"you say."
There was a glimmer of hope in Huangfu Liyue's eyes.
"Father, although I know that no living person can survive in the underground palace, the queen's words have always been lingering in my mind.
"If I don't go and take a look, I've been murmuring in my heart, so can I ask my father's permission to let me take a look in the secret passage?" "
The king understood what she meant.
But the secret passage in the underground palace is a place of arms, and he is the only one who knows the secrets in the palace.
If Huangfu Liyue is allowed to enter, it will definitely violate the ancestral precepts.
The last time I took her into the underground palace, I made an exception and violated the laws set by our ancestors.
But in his heart he cared deeply about his daughter and his mother, and couldn't bear to refuse.
After hesitating, he responded: "Okay, Nuo Xi, it's just this time, it won't happen next time."
Huangfu Liyue's expression turned from gloomy to clear in an instant.
"Thank you, father!"
¡
Shortly after.
The underground palace.
Because the people in the palace were gossiping, the king dismissed the guards and came here alone with Huangfu Liyue.
There are only coffins and burial objects in the underground palace, and there is no place to hide people.
Therefore, the king took her directly to the secret passage.
The two of them walked in tandem, each holding a bright lamp in their hands, and walked slowly into the secret passage.
Huangfu Liyue followed his father, and as soon as he entered the secret passage, he smelled a strong smell of gunpowder.
She held up the ever-burning lamp to illuminate the surrounding environment.
This huge cave was filled with countless weapons and gunpowder, almost filling the entire cave, leaving only a two-meter-wide walkway in the middle.
With the light of this ever-burning lamp, she could not estimate how big the cave was
She can only follow her father and move forward.
¡°As my father said, there is nothing here except weapons and gunpowder.
A few minutes later, the two of them reached the end.
At the end of the cave, there is still a reserve of arms, piled up like a mountain, as if to demonstrate the huge military power of Country Y.
She also seemed to know the reason why her father dared to meet the weapons of country L.
With so many arms, it is enough to compete with any other country.
Huangfu Liyue looked around. Although she was shocked by the abundance of weapons, she also did not forget the true purpose of her trip.
She has been observing whether there is room in this cave that can accommodate people.
But looking at it, the answer is no.
In this cave, there are only weapons and other resources and items, all neatly stacked together, and there is no place for the servants to hide.
" Moreover, this underground cave is under the underground palace and is a closed space. If anyone is here, it is impossible to survive.
The king looked at Huangfu Liyue's disappointed eyes and said, "Nuoxi, my father told you that I have visited here before and there is nothing abnormal."
Huangfu Liyue raised the ever-bright lamp and looked above the cave.
But apart from the dark mud, there was nothing else.
She turned around and asked: "Father, besides this place, are there any other secret passages in the underground palace?"
The king shook his head.
"The existence of this underground palace is not only to allow the ancestors of the Huangfu family to rest in peace, but also to reserve arms in case of emergencies. Apart from that, it has no other function. Naturally, there will be no other secret passages."
These words directly wiped out all Huangfu Liyue's hopes.
She sighed softly and murmured: "If there are no other secret passages, could it be that Jingchen and I made a mistake? The queen didn't come to the underground palace at all last time?"
After all, they relied on the black dog to lead the way and did not see the queen enter the underground palace with their own eyes.
If the queen really entered the underground palace, it would be impossible for her to leave under their noses.
The only explanation now is that the black dog led the wrong way.
The king looked at her dull expression, stepped forward and patted her shoulder.
"Nuoxi, don't think too much. My father has told you a long time ago that the queen cannot open the door of this underground palace. How can she enter the underground palace?"
Huangfu Liyue took a breath.
"I hope I'm overthinking it."
After saying that, she looked around again uneasily.
Seeing that everything was closed and there was nothing strange about it, she finally gave up the idea in her mind.
It is a good thing for her that her mother is not here.
Otherwise, she couldn't imagine how a living person could survive here.
"Father, let's go." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
