- "Okay, Mr. Mu, I'm going to send a message to the Duchess first."
"Um."
Lin Ze turned around and left, while Mu Jingchen went straight downstairs.
It was still early, and only Yiran and a few maids were cleaning the hall downstairs.
Yiran saw Mu Jingchen coming downstairs and immediately lowered his head to say hello.
"Mr. Mu, morning."
Mu Jingchen's face was expressionless and he said "hmm" without looking at Yiran.
He walked straight to the sofa, leaving Yiran with only one sentence: "Make a cup of tea."
"Okay, Mr. Mu."
After Yiran responded, he watched Mu Jingchen sit down on the sofa in front of him. He did not immediately go to make tea, but reached out and touched his right wrist.
The right wrist was hit by a poisonous needle last night. Although the poison has been removed, the wrist has no strength now and it is difficult to even lift it.
She looked around and wanted to ask her maid to make tea for him.
But the other maids are busy doing things and can¡¯t spare their time.
After hesitation, she went to the kitchen by herself.
¡
Mu Jingchen sat on the sofa, put his notebook on his lap, and checked the latest news from various countries.
Yiran came over with tea and brought it to him.
"Mr. Mu, please have tea."
Mu Jingchen stared at the laptop screen, lost in thought while reading a piece of news about country L, and ignored Yiran.
Yiran felt a little embarrassed, and her hands holding the tea stayed in the air.
Because my right hand is weak, the teacup is already shaking a little.
Helpless, she could only remind her again: "Mr. Mu, the tea you asked for is ready."
Mu Jingchen finally came back to his senses.
He closed the notebook casually and reached out to take the tea in Yiran's hand.
However, before his hand touched the teacup, Yiran's hand suddenly trembled, and the teacup instantly slipped from her fingertips.
With a "chi" sound, the teacup came into contact with the floor and broke into pieces. The tea also splashed on Mu Jingchen's feet.
With a hint of panic in Yiran's eyes, she quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, Mr. Mu, I wasn't sure at the moment, please forgive me."
Mu Jingchen glanced at the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, and then moved his eyes to Yiran's right hand.
"You are hurt?"
When he saw through it, she immediately admitted: "I accidentally fell down when I got up last night and hurt my wrist. Mr. Mu, I'm really sorry."
Mu Jingchen stared at her right wrist without saying a word.
Yiran looked at his scrutinizing gaze, with a hint of nervousness in her eyes, but she remained calm on the surface.
She is wearing a long-sleeved dress, so others should not be able to tell anything.
Mu Jingchen glanced behind him, withdrew his gaze, and said nonchalantly: "Let someone clean it up."
"Yes, thank you for your understanding, Mr. Mu."
Yiran thanked her repeatedly and immediately called the maid to clean.
After the broken porcelain pieces on the ground were cleaned up, Huangfu Liyue also got up.
When she went downstairs, she saw the maid collecting a pile of broken porcelain and walking out of the hall.
Seeing Mu Jingchen sitting in the hall, she walked over and asked, "What's going on? Who dropped the water glass?"
Mu Jingchen motioned her to look at the door.
At the door, Yiran was standing there.
Huangfu Liyue murmured in a low voice: "It's really strange, why does Yiran often make such low-level mistakes recently?"
It¡¯s not uncommon for maids to make mistakes occasionally when doing things.
But Yiran is a female official, the most appropriate one selected from many maids.
It was just a matter of forgetting her and her children¡¯s habits a few days ago, but now she could even go wrong when serving a cup of tea, which was really puzzling to her.
When Mu Jingchen heard what she said, he asked: "Often?"
"Well, a few days ago, she even forgot the habits Wubao and I had been doing."
Her words made Mu Jingchen couldn't help but take another look at Yiran.
Just now, Yiran said that her hand was injured by a fall, but Mu Jingchen observed that her wrist was not red or swollen at all.
Based on his experience, since there was no redness, swelling or bruises from the fall, how could it be so painful that he couldn¡¯t even hold a cup of tea?
¡°Obviously, Yiran was lying.
But why did she lie?
Mu Jingchen looked solemn and asked Huangfu Liyue: "What is the background of this Yiran?"
She looked sideways at him: "Are you suspicious of Yiran?"
Last night they speculated that there might be someone in the palace??Ghost.
Listening to Mu Jingchen's tone just now, it was not difficult for her to tell that Jingchen was suspicious of Yiran.
He also said without hesitation: "Before the mole is found, everyone in the palace is suspected."
Huangfu Liyue glanced at Yiran at the door.
"Yiran was served by Ye Ting before. She handled things properly, was reliable, and had a clean family background. She had been serving in the palace since she was a child.
"After I recognized my marriage, Ye Ting recommended her to my father, who arranged for her to come to Chang'an Palace. As far as I know, she has never had contact with the queen. "
This last sentence made Mu Jingchen put down his guard.
Since he has never had any contact with the queen, the chance that he is the mole is not high.
However, he did not relax his vigilance.
"Even so, you still have to be vigilant and take precautions before things happen."
"Um!"
Huangfu Liyue immediately looked out the door and dropped the topic.
"Now that the queen knows that my father has joined us to secretly investigate my mother, she must feel threatened.
I think she should also know that by not abdicating the throne, my father is deliberately delaying time for us to find our mother.
I estimate that she will not wait any longer. For her own safety, she will definitely force her father to abdicate as soon as possible. "
Mu Jingchen did not answer the call.
He agreed with her statement.
The queen feels threatened and will not wait for another month.
Next, it depends on how the king should respond.
¡
the other side.
The king¡¯s guess was the same as the two of them. The queen would be extremely angry if she knew that he had teamed up with his daughter to deal with her. She would use Feng Suying to force him to abdicate immediately.
But, they all guessed wrong.
The queen was as motionless as last night.
Today, there was not only no anger on her face, but she also did not question the king.
Instead, he sat calmly in the hall drinking tea and eating pastries.
The king sat aside, looking at her leisurely appearance, and suddenly he couldn't understand her.
She knew that she and her daughter were secretly investigating Su Ying¡¯s whereabouts, yet she remained indifferent?
This is so un-Queen-like.
The queen, who was eating cakes, noticed the king's gloomy eyes and suddenly raised the corners of her lips.
"Your Majesty, do you have something to tell me?"
The king looked cold and said bluntly: "Now, I have followed your request and handed over state affairs to Yuncheng every day. But after so long, I don't even know whether Su Ying is dead or alive."
The queen put down the cake in her hand and stared at him.
"Your Majesty wants to see Feng Suying?"
Her nonsense made the king's face darken.
"Don't be fooled, Queen, I'll give you everything you want. I've even announced the news of my early abdication. Is it time for you to let me meet Su Ying?"
The queen slowly raised her eyelids, with a sinister smile on her lips.
"Your Majesty is very affectionate for sister Su Ying. You want to see her, so why should I refuse?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
