Sanbao looked at the king with a cute look, and asked stupidly: "Grandpa, this was given to me by Uncle Ye Ting before. I heard that night pearls will glow in the dark. Is this true?"
The queen glanced at the luminous pearl in his hand, with a hint of invisible contempt in her eyes.
For ordinary people, even seeing something like the Night Pearl is a luxury.
But to her, it was just a common bead.
Seeing Sanbao¡¯s expression as if he had discovered a new world, she just felt ridiculous.
The king touched Sanbao¡¯s little head, his eyes full of love.
"Of course it's true. Luminous pearls do glow in the dark, and they are very beautiful."
Sanbao looked suspicious and raised the luminous pearl to look at it carefully.
"Grandpa, are you lying to me? How can this ordinary-looking bead shine?"
The king smiled and said: "Silly boy, how could grandpa lie to you?"
Sanbao still had doubts on his face.
Then, he naturally took his grandfather's hand.
¡°Grandpa, then take me to the room and close the curtains and have a look. If it really shines, I believe you didn¡¯t lie to me!¡±
The king was not surprised that Sanbao, who was usually very eccentric, suddenly made such a request.
He stood up with a smile and responded: "Okay, grandpa will take you there right now."
Then, he took Sambo and went upstairs under the queen's eyes.
After the two went upstairs.
Richard on the side walked to the queen and whispered: "Queen, do you want me to follow you and take a look?"
The queen glanced upstairs, then looked back.
"No need, he's just a child who has never seen the world, what can he know?"
When Richard saw her saying this, he silently stepped aside.
¡
In the room upstairs.
The king and the Three Treasures stood looking at each other.
"Sambo, you led grandpa upstairs. Do you have something you want to talk to grandpa alone?"
Although the king didn't get along with Sanbao much, he also knew that Sanbao was smart and would not come to him specifically to ask for a boring question like "Will the night pearl shine?"
Sanbao changed his silly look, looked up at his grandfather, and said seriously: "Daddy has searched the palace and found no trace of grandma. He suspects that there is another mystery in the underground palace. He specially asked me to ask grandpa about the opening of the underground palace door. method."
"Underground palace?"
When the king heard these two words, his expression changed slightly.
Before, he had taken Huangfu Liyue to the underground palace for verification, and there was nothing abnormal.
Why does Mu Jingchen still think there is something weird about the underground palace?
Seeing that grandpa was still hesitating, Sanbao reminded: "Grandpa, please tell me quickly. If we stay here for too long, the queen will be suspicious.
You have to believe Mom and Dad, we are a family. Even if they know the underground palace¡¯s mechanisms, they will not pose any threat to you, grandpa! "
The words of Sanbao made the hesitation in the king's heart disappear instantly.
Although there are arms in the underground palace, it is a secret place.
"But Huangfu Liyue and Mu Jingchen are his daughter and son-in-law. Even if they knew about it, they would not betray him.
Looking at his grandson's vow, the king knelt down and whispered in his ear the mechanism of the underground palace gate.
After hearing this, Sanbao nodded solemnly.
"I understand, grandpa, don't worry, I will tell daddy word for word!"
¡
ten minutes later.
The king led Sambo downstairs.
"Sambo, do you believe now that the night pearl will really shine?"
Sanbao nodded in agreement.
"Grandpa, this is really amazing. I want to go back and tell Wubao and the others right away!"
"Okay, let's go."
The king let go of his hand.
Holding the luminous pearl in his hand, Sanbao ran out happily.
The queen still sat in the hall and said nothing.
After Sambo left, only the queen and Richard were left in the hall, and the smile on the king's face gradually disappeared.
He felt very depressed staying in the same room with the queen.
He stood there and pondered for a few seconds, then walked out with a steady pace.
As soon as the king left the palace, the queen immediately motioned for Richard to follow.
There are still twenty days left, and she will never allow anything to go wrong during this period.??
If the king makes any small moves, she will never spare Feng Suying.
After Richard received the Queen's message, he immediately followed the King and followed the King out of the palace.
The queen was sitting alone in the hall. Seeing that it was already late, she rubbed her temples and prepared to go upstairs to rest.
At the door, a maid carrying calming tea came in.
"Queen, the calming tea is ready."
The queen has not been sleeping well recently, so she specially ordered the maid in the bedroom to bring her a cup of soothing tea before going to bed every night.
The maid placed the calming tea in front of the queen and withdrew.
The queen picked up the tea, opened the lid and prepared to drink.
However, as soon as I opened the lid, I found a piece of well-folded paper stuck inside the lid.
A flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she immediately put down the tea cup.
Driven by curiosity, she picked up the note in the cup lid and opened it to check.
There are a few lines of words neatly written on this piece of paper.
When the queen saw the content clearly, there was a hint of shock in her eyes, which then turned into anger.
"Huangfu Masahiro, how dare you play tricks on me!"
After saying these words, she looked at the note in her hand in confusion.
This handwriting is unfamiliar. Who is secretly tipping her off?
She had no time to think about this, so she put away the note in her hand and immediately shouted towards the door: "Here comes someone!"
¡
the other side.
Sanbao returned to Chang'an Palace and told Mom and Dad exactly what his grandfather told him.
After Huangfu Liyue and Mu Jingchen learned about the mechanism that opened the door to the underground palace, they saw that it was getting late and felt that this was a good time to go to the underground palace to check.
Although there are no guards on the road to the underground palace, the patrolling guards in the palace will occasionally go there to check.
Going to the underground palace during the day is too eye-catching and can easily be discovered.
It¡¯s eerie over there at night, and the patrolling guards rarely go there, so it¡¯s a perfect opportunity.
"Jingchen, without further ado, let's go over and take a look tonight?"
Mu Jingchen looked at the time, it was ten o'clock in the evening.
He said: "Well, but wait for another two hours. Twelve o'clock is the shift change time of the patrol guards. We can take advantage of this gap to avoid their sight."
"good."
The two sat down in the hall and waited until it was almost twelve o'clock.
During this period, the two of them were not idle.
Mu Jingchen held his laptop and checked the information about the previous kings of Country Y.
Huangfu Liyue sat next to him, staring at the computer screen.
It wasn¡¯t until the time was almost up that Mu Jingchen closed the computer and the two of them left Chang¡¯an Hall together.
Less than two minutes after the two left, Yi Ran suddenly walked out of Chang'an Hall.
She looked at the direction the two left, stood at the door for a few seconds, and then followed them from a distance. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
