¡°Auntie has set such a big trap, and the purpose is definitely not simple.
But why did she leave the palace so easily?
Huangfu Liyue was surrounded by mysteries one after another, making it impossible for her to figure it out.
At this moment, the female official in the palace ran in from outside.
"Princess, Your Majesty and Queen Suying were attacked by a killer on their way back to the palace!"
Huangfu Liyue stood up suddenly.
"How are your father and mother?"
"Don't worry, princess, the guards were on time to protect you. Your Majesty only suffered some superficial injuries. Queen Suying is not seriously injured and has returned to the palace safely."
Even so, Huangfu Liyue could no longer sit still.
The next second, she left Chang'an Palace directly.
¡
The king's bedroom.
In the hall, Feng Suying held medicine in her hand and applied it on the back of the king's hand.
There is a scratch mark on the back of the king's hand, which was caused by the attack outside the palace not long ago.
After Feng Suying applied the medicine to him, she looked at him very worriedly.
¡°I don¡¯t know who is so bold as to send someone to assassinate you.¡±
The king carefully recalled the scene of the attack outside the palace.
After he and Feng Suying watched the concert, Feng Suying suggested that they go to the lake to relax.
He then ordered the guards to follow him from a distance, while he and Feng Suying watched the scenery by the lake.
Who knows, a masked man came quietly, without saying a word, took a knife and wanted to kill him.
Fortunately, the guards arrived in time and he only suffered some superficial injuries.
The man who committed the assassination also jumped into the lake and escaped.
Thinking of this, the king felt strange.
Except for a few close people in the palace, no one knows his whereabouts today.
And the killer at that time obviously came for him.
Who would want to kill him at this time?
The king looked serious and was very confused.
At this moment, Hans walked in from outside.
"Your Majesty, we have caught the assassin, but he committed suicide by taking poison first. However, I found this on him."
Hans presented a breastplate in his hand.
The king looked at the breastplate carefully and his pupils shrank sharply.
Every minister or prince who holds military power in the palace and the people under his command will have special breastplates.
And the one in Hans¡¯s hand is the breastplate of Huangfu Yuncheng¡¯s bodyguard!
The king stared at the breastplate for a long time without speaking.
Feng Suying took the badge from his hand.
After looking through it carefully, she was shocked.
"Masahiro, this is"
The king nodded deeply.
"You read that right, this is the badge of Yuncheng's bodyguard."
Feng Suying was shocked: "How could he"
The king was silent and his eyes were dark and unclear.
Hans reminded from the side: "Your Majesty, today is the death anniversary of the former queen."
The king didn¡¯t know about the news of You Ruoci¡¯s death until now.
"She's dead?"
"Yes, the body was picked up by the eldest prince not long ago."
After Hans finished his reply, Feng Suying guessed: "Zhenghong, is it because of the death of his mother that Yuncheng"
At this point, she stopped again.
But the meaning behind these words couldn¡¯t be clearer.
The current situation seems to be that Huangfu Yuncheng was resentful because of his mother's death and sent people to assassinate them.
The king did not answer, looked up at Hans and asked: "Where is Yuncheng?"
"A few hours ago, the eldest prince ordered someone to take the body of the former queen out of the palace. I heard from the palace people that the eldest prince found a secluded place outside the palace to bury the former queen."
The king frowned.
Yuncheng is also outside the palace.
All of this had to make him think more.
Hans asked: "Your Majesty, how about I call the eldest prince back to the palace immediately?"
After thinking deeply, the king raised his hand.
"No need, today is the anniversary of his mother's death. Let's wait until today to discuss this matter!"
Feng Suying sat next to the king, with worry in her eyes.
"Zhenghong, this kid from Yuncheng doesn't have any grudge against us because of his mother, does he?"
"Won't."
The king¡¯s tone was very firm: ¡°Yuncheng is a place of right and wrong.I don't believe that a person who is smart and considers the overall situation can be so confused and destroy his own future. "
Feng Suying pursed her lips slightly, her mood indifferent.
¡
When Huangfu Liyue came to his father's bedroom, his father was sitting alone in the hall.
"Father, I heard that you were injured, are you okay?"
Seeing her arrival, the king showed a loving smile on his face.
"It's a skin injury, it's not a problem."
She immediately asked: "Has it been found out? Who did it?"
Seeing her surprise, the king nodded and said, "Today is the anniversary of his mother's death. He happened to be outside the palace, and the killer also wore the breastplate of his bodyguard."
Although the evidence points directly to Huangfu Yuncheng, Huangfu Liyue feels strange.
"Father, although I don't know Brother Wang very well, I always feel that he shouldn't be such a confused person."
"I watched Yuncheng grow up. Even though he is not a kind-hearted person, he is definitely not a rebellious and unfilial person."
"So, Father, do you think there is something fishy about this matter?"
The king glanced at Feng Suying's room upstairs, then closed his eyes and nodded calmly towards Huangfu Liyue.
Huangfu Liyue realized her father's strange eyes and whispered: "Father, if you have anything else to say, just say it."
The king suddenly dropped the topic.
"Today, your mother agreed to my abdication."
Huangfu Liyue's eyes moved slightly, looking at his father intently.
The father and daughter looked at each other silently, neither of them spoke.
The air remained still for dozens of seconds.
Finally, Huangfu Liyue¡¯s words broke the silence of the hall.
"Father, since the evidence points to Brother Wang, Brother Wang should be thoroughly investigated and severely punished both emotionally and rationally. As for your abdication, you can 'discuss' it with your mother."
The king looked calm and said "hmm" lightly.
¡
??Night.
Country Z, Jiangcheng.
Due to work needs, Mu Jingchen has been staying at the Quan Family Villa these days.
At this time, he was handling official business in the study.
The night is already dark, and sleepiness is inevitable.
He stared at the computer screen in front of him, and his long white fingers touched the coffee cup on the table.
Then, he skillfully brought it to his lips.
But, this cup of coffee has already bottomed out.
When he realized it, he frowned slightly and immediately told the door: "Bring in a cup of coffee."
He has the habit of working late at night, so the servants of Bieyuan will guard the door of the study 24 hours a day, waiting for orders.
A few minutes later.
The door to the study room was pushed open.
A woman wearing a long white dress came in.
This woman had a light figure and slow steps. She held a cup of tea in her hand and carefully placed it in Mu Jingchen's hand.
Mu Jingchen kept his eyes on the computer, not paying attention to who was coming.
Until he picked up the teacup at hand and put it to his lips, his face suddenly darkened.
¡°I asked you to pour me a cup of coffee, not tea!¡±
He put down the teacup and raised his eyes indifferently. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
