However, although Richard withdrew, he did not go far. Instead, he hid behind the wall and eavesdropped.
Huangfu Liyue had already seen his every move with his peripheral vision, but he didn't reveal it.
She looked at her father as if nothing had happened.
"Father, in a few days it will be the anniversary of my grandfather's death. I see that everyone in the palace is preparing the sacrifices needed for that day, so I came here to ask, is there anything you need my help with?"
The king sat up straight and glanced at the wall diagonally behind him.
Then, he replied very calmly: "It will be almost ready tomorrow, you don't have to worry."
When he said this, Huangfu Liyue saw his mother's pair of anemone earrings in his hands.
And his back was turned to Richard, so Richard did not see the movements of his hands.
Huangfu Liyue knew that his father had heard the implication of her words and was responding to her in his own way.
Before she could ponder her father's words carefully, the queen had already stepped into the back garden.
"Nuoxi, I'm here to see your father again. Your father-daughter relationship is really enviable."
While speaking, the queen sat down unceremoniously.
The king silently put away the earrings in his hand, looked at her and said, "Queen, I'll have a few words with Nuo Xi, so you don't have to sit here and listen, right?"
The queen had no intention of leaving.
"Your Majesty is wrong. Nuo Xi is not only your daughter, but also half of my daughter. I shouldn't have to avoid suspicion when you talk to my daughter, right?"
The king knew that she was worried about him being alone with Nuo Xi, fearing that he would reveal the news about meeting Su Ying tomorrow.
Seeing that she refused to leave, the king lost all interest and stood up directly.
"Nuoxi, my father suddenly remembered something else and went back to his dormitory first."
"Okay, father, walk slowly."
Huangfu Liyue watched his father leave, glanced at the queen again, and left the back garden.
The queen watched the two people leave with an unknown smile on her lips.
At the same time, Richard came over.
"Queen."
"What did they just say?"
"The princess asked about the death anniversary of the late king."
The queen looked at him suspiciously: "That's all?"
Richard lowered his head and replied: "Yes, before she could say anything else, Queen, you came over."
The queen then calmly put her eyes away.
She has sent people to watch the king day and night, monitoring his every move, just to be on guard against the king, fearing that he would leak the information privately and mess up her plan.
¡
Huangfu Liyue left the back garden and walked on the way back to Chang'an Palace.
She kept recalling what her father said just now in her mind.
The father suddenly took out the pair of earrings. They belonged to the mother and should represent the mother.
He said it would be almost ready tomorrow and there was no need to worry.
So, my father is saying: Don¡¯t worry about your mother.
Then why did he say it would be ready tomorrow?
And why should she not worry about her mother?
She doesn¡¯t even know whether her mother is dead or alive, so how can she not be worried?
¡°Could it be that the father is saying that he will see his mother tomorrow and tells her not to worry?
Thinking of this, she suddenly stopped.
Could it be that the queen agreed to take her father to see her mother?
It seems that this is very possible.
The king¡¯s father has agreed to so many conditions for the queen. Even if she doesn¡¯t let her mother go, it¡¯s time to let her father know her mother¡¯s life and death.
However, with the queen¡¯s vigilant temperament, even if she allowed her father to see her mother, she would only let him go alone.
Therefore, her father must have secretly sent her a message just now, telling her that she would see her mother tomorrow.
After figuring out what his father meant, Huangfu Liyue calmed down.
This is your chance to find out where your mother is imprisoned!
¡
Chang'an Hall.
After returning, Huangfu Liyue paced back and forth in the hall.
Now that my father is under surveillance by the queen, my father's bedroom has almost become the queen's world.
She had to find a way to ambush around her father's bedroom before she could follow them when the queen took her father to see her mother.
After thinking about it, she remembered Hans beside her father, and immediately summoned Hans over.
HansWhen I arrived at Chang'an Hall, I was still confused.
"Princess, why are you looking for me in such a hurry?"
Huangfu Liyue looked at him squarely.
"Hans, as my father's royal guard, you are the person my father trusts most, so I won't beat around the bush. I need your help, and my father also needs your help!"
Hans was confused.
"Your Majesty? What's wrong with him?"
In the past, Hans always worked closely to protect the king's safety.
But since the king announced Huangfu Yuncheng as the heir, the queen asked the king to send Hans outside the palace for protection and not let him accompany him.
The queen had Feng Suying as a lever, so the king could only agree to her conditions.
In the past few days, Hans has been guarding outside the king's palace and has not had much contact with the king.
However, he did not know that the king had been threatened by the queen, and the king would not tell a guard this.
Now he was quite surprised to hear Huangfu Liyue say such words.
Seeing that he didn¡¯t know the inside story, Huangfu Liyue told him that his father was being kidnapped by the queen.
After hearing this, Hans was shocked.
"Your Majesty is being threatened by the Queen?"
"Yes, I believe you are also aware that my father suddenly announced the eldest prince as the heir and released the queen from An Paradise. All this is not in line with my father's temperament."
Hans frowned slightly.
Although he was shocked, he did not inquire deeply about the affairs of the royal family. He only said: "Princess, what do you need me to do? Please tell me directly. As long as you ask, I will never give up!"
He did not have any doubts about Huangfu Liyue's words, just because she was the king's daughter and someone whom the king trusted.
Therefore, he will unconditionally believe and obey her.
His firm tone made Huangfu Liyue very satisfied.
"The queen used my mother to blackmail my father, so she made my father compromise with her many times. If I guess correctly, the queen will take my father to see my mother tomorrow, and she will only let my father go with her.
Therefore, I hope that when the queen leaves the palace with her father tomorrow, you can secretly lead someone to follow her to protect my father's safety and my mother's safety! "
There was a hint of surprise in Hans's eyes.
When he was shocked that Queen Suying was still alive, he did not forget to reply: "Yes, princess."
Just in case, Huangfu Liyue suggested: "Bring me a guard uniform in a moment. The queen is cunning, and I want to personally guard the door of my father's bedroom to prevent her from pulling any tricks."
"Princess, this is easy to handle. I will have someone bring it to you in a moment."
"good."
¡
afternoon.
Huangfu Liyue told a few children in private and hurried out the door.
Not long after, she put on the guard uniform and a masculine outfit, and followed Hans to stand at the door of her father's bedroom.
At a glance, there is no sense of disharmony between her and the two guards beside her, making it impossible to detect any clues. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
