The servant withdrew and closed the door as she ordered, leaving her and Mu Jingchen alone.
The moment the door closed, the Duchess looked at Mu Jingchen and said with some disbelief: "Are you the owner of that ring?"
Mu Jingchen nodded solemnly: "Yes."
After getting his affirmative answer, the Duchess suddenly knelt down on her knees, put one palm on the back of the other hand, and gave him a big salute.
In this regard, Mu Jingchen looked indifferently and had no reaction.
"Get up."
The duchess then stood up and said respectfully: "Mr. Mu, please sit down."
Mu Jingchen sat on the mahogany chair in front of him, looked at the duchess standing in front of him, and asked, "Why do you want to see me?"
The Duchess thought about Lin Ze coming to the house to look for her yesterday, and replied: "Yesterday, didn't Mr. Mu send someone to tell me that something happened in the palace and that the Queen was trying to force His Majesty to abdicate?"
Mu Jingchen said nothing and looked at her expressionlessly.
She continued: "I know what you mean, Mr. Mu, is that when there is a big change in the palace in the future, I can stand by the princess and lend a helping hand."
Judging from the current situation, the queen is already hostile to the king.
Although the queen now has the king's leverage, the king has not tolerated her to the point of fighting with each other.
But the two are already incompatible with each other, and sooner or later they will come to the point of life and death.
The king has country y as his support, but the queen is not inferior and has country l as her backing.
"Moreover, the queen and the current king of Country L are not only married, but they also have a pretty good private relationship.
"If the king and her come to the point of meeting each other, the queen will definitely seek help from country L.
At that time, it is inevitable to start a war.
"If she finally meets the king's sword, you can imagine what a farce it will be.
Mu Jingchen thought deeply. In order to avoid this situation from happening, he asked Lin Ze to inform the duchess in advance, hoping that she could help the king at the critical moment.
At this moment, he said bluntly: "That's right."
The Duchess looked troubled.
¡°Mr. Mu, I really want to help you, but I¡¯m afraid I¡¯m powerless.
The queen is good at winning people's hearts, and now that the eldest prince has become the heir, many ministers in the court may be moving closer to her.
Although my husband holds some military power, his power is small after all. The queen not only has the support of ministers, but also has the support of country l.
In addition, the successive kings of country L have always been ambitious. When the previous king was still alive, the two countries continued a year-long war due to territorial issues.
Later, because of the marriage between the king and the queen, the two countries calmed down the war for so many years, but I heard that country L has been secretly preparing for war.
It can be seen that the current king of Country L is not satisfied with the status quo, and there is no guarantee that he will take this opportunity to harm Country Y.
"If this is the case, just one soldier in my husband's hands is not enough. Mr. Mu must make a longer-term plan to ensure nothing goes wrong." "
What she said is exactly what Mu Jingchen is worried about now.
¡°If the queen breaks the pot and directly provokes a war, and she has Feng Suying in her hand, will the king have a 100% chance of winning?
The Duchess saw his concerns and suddenly said: "However, Mr. Mu, I may not be able to help you, but if you want to keep the princess safe in this fight, I have a way."
Mu Jingchen looked at her: "What?"
The duchess took two steps forward, approached his ear, and whispered a few words in his ear.
After hearing this, Mu Jingchen's eyes showed suspicion.
"Sure?"
Seeing the doubt in his eyes, the Duchess smiled and said: "Mr. Mu, the reason why you asked me to bring that wrench for help is because you probably know the meaning of that wrench. What I said is true or false. You can Give it a try.¡±
Mu Jingchen stared at the ring on his thumb, his eyes gradually deepening.
¡
Chang'an Hall.
When Mu Jingchen returned here, he told Huangfu Liyue that he had to go far away.
She was very surprised and asked: "Traveling away? Now?"
Mu Jingchen nodded.
"right."
"It's so sudden, is there something urgent?"
In response to her questioning, Mu Jingchen glanced around subconsciously.
Seeing Yiran and several maids standing by, he replied: "Well, the company has some urgent matters to deal with."
? ???This is too sudden. "
Huangfu Liyue noticed something was wrong.
Now is the time when my father needs their help. Isn¡¯t it that he can¡¯t distinguish the priorities when he handles the company¡¯s affairs at this time?
But if you think about it carefully, he has always been prudent in doing things, and he would not have made such a decision without careful consideration.
Mu Jingchen saw the doubts in her heart and said gently: "Don't worry, I will come back as soon as possible on the death anniversary of the late king."
She naturally understood the hint in his words.
On the anniversary of the death of the late king, the underground palace will be opened. At that time, they will have the opportunity to go in and search.
"Okay, you go early and come back early."
"Um."
Before leaving, he gently hugged her and held her in his arms.
When the maids in the hall saw this, they all lowered their heads.
He lowered his head slightly, put his thin lips close to her ear, and whispered: "Remember, don't act rashly before I come back, even if there is any movement from the queen."
The sound was almost inaudible and no one could hear it except her.
Huangfu Liyue said softly "Hmm".
After the two said goodbye, Mu Jingchen said hello to a few more children.
After that, he left Chang'an Hall directly.
He left in such a hurry that Huangfu Liyue noticed something was wrong, but had no chance to inquire in depth.
Watching him leave, she was also thinking in her mind, what on earth did he do?
After her thoughts were fruitless, she felt a little worried about her father.
There was no movement from the father's side for a whole day, and the queen didn't seem angry because she knew they were secretly investigating her mother.
All this is so abnormal.
She was worried about her father, so she left Chang'an Palace directly to find her father.
¡
At this moment, the king is closing his eyes and taking a rest in the back garden.
When Huangfu Liyue arrived here, he found Richard standing behind his father.
"Father."
She walked over and greeted her father as if nothing had happened.
When Richard saw her, his eyes were alert.
The queen has told him that the king must not be alone with anyone, especially Huangfu Liyue.
At this moment, the king slowly opened his eyes.
Seeing Huangfu Liyue¡¯s arrival, he glanced at Richard and said, ¡°You go down first, I¡¯ll have a word with Nuo Xi.¡±
Richard naturally refused to leave and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the Queen has ordered that you are in poor health and must be taken care of every step of the way."
The king sneered and looked at Richard with evil eyes.
"Richard, as the king I haven't abdicated yet, so I can't give you any orders?"
Sensing the murderous look in the king's eyes, Richard did not dare to move out of the queen, so he could only retreat obediently. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
