"I heard from people in the palace that the princess entered the underground palace last night and came out with blood stains on her body and was injured.
¡°Only His Majesty can open the gate of the underground palace, so everyone guessed that the princess and His Majesty entered the underground palace together last night.
But now the princess is in the cell and His Majesty is missing, so everyone in the palace is suspicious of the princess.
Someone in the palace said that the princess was dissatisfied with Your Majesty for giving the position of heir to the eldest prince, so she took the opportunity to take revenge on Your Majesty. "
This absurd speculation made Dabao's face filled with anger.
"Nonsense, how could my mom take revenge on grandpa? This must be a rumor spread deliberately by someone!"
The brows of several children were instantly stained with sadness.
They also clearly felt that this must be a conspiracy.
A conspiracy to put Mommy to death.
Now, grandpa is missing, mommy has been arrested, and uncle Ye Ting is not in the palace.
They are not familiar with the other people in the palace at all, and they cannot ask others for help. They can only find a way to rescue Mommy by themselves.
Erbao, who had been silent for a few seconds, suddenly said to Dabao and others: "The most important thing now is to rescue mommy first. Brother, you come upstairs with me first, and we will discuss a solution."
The children did not hesitate and followed Erbao upstairs.
Yiran didn¡¯t pay too much attention to them, because in her eyes, a few children couldn¡¯t cause much trouble at all, so she didn¡¯t need to worry about it.
¡
The room upstairs.
Erbao called his father and told him about mommy's situation.
When Mu Jingchen heard that the king was missing, Huangfu Liyue was put into the cell and was silent for a few seconds.
He didn¡¯t expect that the queen was so impatient.
He didn¡¯t say anything more, he just said to Erbao: ¡°Mu Cheng, find a way to sneak out of the palace and find the duchess in Xiyuan outside the palace. She can keep your mother.¡±
Then, Erbao asked again: "Daddy, how long will it take for you to come back?"
"There are at least two days left. Remember, no matter what happens in these two days, don't act rashly and wait for daddy to come back."
"Okay, Daddy, don't worry!"
Erbao hung up the phone and told Dabao and the others what Dabao had just said.
The children immediately understood what Daddy meant.
They left the room, avoided the maids in the dormitory, and secretly left the Chang'an Palace.
¡
The main hall of the palace.
The king's disappearance caused an uproar in the palace.
Because of this matter, the ministers discussed with Huangfu Yuncheng in the main hall.
The king is away, and Huangfu Yuncheng is the heir, so he will naturally be in charge of all matters in the palace.
At this moment, a minister is speaking on this matter.
"My eldest prince, last night the princess broke into the underground palace without authorization and was caught by the queen. When the princess came out of the underground palace, she still had blood stains and wounds on her body. It seemed that she had fought with someone.
"Only His Majesty knows how to open the gate of the underground palace. From this, it can be seen that the princess most likely entered the underground palace together with the king.
But why was the princess the only one to come out of the underground palace, but His Majesty was nowhere to be found? Why is there a bloody wound on the princess? "
The minister who spoke was a marquis named Ed who was bribed by the queen.
Before Huangfu Yuncheng could say anything, Duke William in the palace immediately refuted his words.
"Marquis Ed, aren't your remarks deliberately misleading the eldest prince, implying that the princess is responsible for the king's disappearance?"
Marquis Ed glanced at him disdainfully and said with a serious face: "Duke William, don't blame me, I'm just stating the matter!"
Seeing that they were about to argue, Huangfu Yuncheng spoke.
"Okay, don't say these useless words."
After finishing speaking, he looked at the guards in the palace and asked: "Where is the Hans? Isn't he protecting my father 24 hours a day? He should know best how my father disappeared!"
The guard lowered his head and replied: "Commander Hans ignored the dissuasion of the patrolling guards last night and tried to break into the underground palace. He was arrested by the queen and is now in prison."
Huangfu Yuncheng's eyes showed a complicated look.
How could Hans boldly break into the forbidden area when he has always been impartial?
In his mind, he probably had some conclusions about what happened last night.
He said to the guard: "Hans will not break into the underground palace for no reason. Bring Hans here later and I will interrogate him personally!"
"yes!"
After handing over the guards, Huangfu Yuncheng added: "According to the guards at the palace gate, my father did not leave the palace yesterday. Therefore, my father is probably still in the palace. Send an order to send more people to search for my father." His whereabouts, especially around the underground palace!¡±
"Yes, eldest prince!"
After the guards retreated, Marquis Ed couldn't wait to speak: "Eldest Prince, what should we do with the princess?"
Huangfu Yuncheng didn¡¯t have a good impression of Huangfu Liyue.
¡°Besides, the evidence that she broke into the underground palace without permission was conclusive, so he would not defend her.
"The princess is guilty of the same crime as the common people. Even if the father is here today, there is no reason to protect her. Let's convict her according to the laws of Country Y!"
A look of success flashed across Marquis Ed's eyes.
The queen had promised him that as long as Huangfu Liyue was convicted, she would ensure that he would be promoted to the position of Duke.
After Huangfu Yuncheng gave the order, the other ministers looked at each other in shock.
According to the laws of country y, Huangfu Liyue is indeed guilty of death.
But no matter what, she is the daughter of the king. Moreover, the king is missing now. It seems inappropriate to rush to convict her at this time.
However, some ministers did not dare to plead for her even if they thought it was inappropriate in their hearts. Otherwise, they would be questioning the laws of Country Y.
At this moment, a sharp female voice came from the door.
"Wait!"
All the ministers were a little surprised.
Women are not allowed to participate in the discussion of state affairs in the main hall.
They all looked at the door of the palace, wondering who was so bold as to break into the main hall.
At the same time, the Duchess of Xiyuan outside the palace appeared at the entrance of the palace.
She was dressed grandly and walked in with her head held high.
Huangfu Yuncheng was slightly surprised when he saw her.
"Duchess, what are you doing here?"
After saluting Huangfu Yuncheng, she said: "Your Highness, I am here for the princess. I feel that it is not appropriate for Your Highness to deal with the princess now, and the princess should be let go."
Her righteous and awe-inspiring words disrupted Marquis Ed's plan.
Marquis Ed stood up and accused her very dissatisfied.
"Duchess, you broke into the main palace without notice, which is already disrespectful. Now you are asking the eldest prince to let the princess go. Are you ignoring the law of the country?"
The Duchess looked at him squarely and asked: "Marquis Ed keeps saying that I regard national law as nothing, so let me ask the Marquis, what national law did the princess break?"
Marquis Ed thought her question was extremely ridiculous.
"Does it need to be said? This is the second time that the princess has trespassed into the underground palace. According to the laws of Country Y, trespassing in forbidden areas is a capital offense. Is the Duchess planning to openly provoke the laws of our country?"
