The purpose of my aunt setting up such a big trap is definitely not simple.

But why did she leave the palace so easily?

Huangfu Liyue was surrounded by mysteries, which made her unable to figure it out.

Just at this time, the female officer in the palace ran in from outside.

"Princess, Your Majesty and Queen Suying were attacked by killers on their way back to the palace!"

Huangfu Liyue stood up abruptly.

"How are the father and mother?"

"Princess, don't worry, the guards are on time. Your Majesty just suffered some skin injuries. Queen Suying is fine and has returned to the palace safely."

Even so, Huangfu Liyue couldn't sit still anymore.

In the next second, she went straight out of Chang'an Hall.

...

King's bedchamber.

In the hall, Feng Suying held the medicine in his hand and applied it on the back of the king's hand.

There was a scratch mark on the back of the king's hand, which was left by an 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 and dares 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 to go to the lake with him to relax.

He ordered the guards to follow him from a distance, and he and Feng Suying watched the scenery by the lake.

Unexpectedly, a masked man came quietly, and without a word, he wanted his life with a knife.

Fortunately, the guards arrived in time, and he only suffered some skin injuries.

The man who assassinated also jumped into the lake and escaped.

Thinking of this, the king felt strange.

His whereabouts today, except for a few close people in the palace, no one knows.

And the killer at that time was obviously aiming at him.

At this moment, who would want to put him to death?

The king's face was serious, and he was very puzzled.

At this moment, Hans walked in from the outside.

"Your Majesty, we have caught the assassin, but he committed suicide by taking poison first, but I found this on him."

Hans presented a breastplate in his hand.

The king looked at the breastplate carefully, his pupils shrank suddenly.

All ministers or princes who hold military power in the palace will have special badges for those under their hands.

And the one in Hans' hands is the badge of Huangfu Yuncheng's guards!

The king stared at the breastplate for a long time without opening his mouth.

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 guards."

Feng Suying was shocked: "How could he..."

The king was silent, his eyes darkened.

Hans reminded from the side: "Your Majesty, today is the death day of the former queen."

The news of You Ruoci's death was not known to the king until now.

"She's dead?"

"Yes, not long ago, the corpse was picked up by the eldest prince."

After Hans finished replying, Feng Suying guessed: "Zhenghong, is it because of his mother's death that Yuncheng..."

Having said this, she stopped again.

But the meaning of these words couldn't be clearer.

According to the current situation, Huangfu Yuncheng had a grudge because of his mother's death and sent someone to assassinate them.

The king didn't answer, looked up at Hans and asked, "Where's Cloud City?"

"A few hours ago, the eldest prince ordered someone to take the former queen's body 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 this had to make him think more.

Hans asked: "Your Majesty, how about I go and call the eldest prince back to the palace immediately?"

After the king pondered, he raised his hand.

"No need, today is the anniversary of his mother's death. Let's talk about this after today!"

Feng Suying sat next to the king, with worry in her eyes.

"Zhenghong, this kid Yuncheng won't have any grudges against us because of his mother?"

"will not."

The king's tone was very firm: "Yuncheng is a person who distinguishes right from wrong and takes the overall situation into consideration. I don't believe he would be so confused and ruin his future."

Feng Suying pursed her lips slightly, her emotions indifferent.

...

When Huangfu Liyue came to his father's bedroom, his father was sitting in the hall alone.

"Father, I heard that you were injured, are you okay?"

Seeing her coming, the king showed a loving smile on his face.

"Skin trauma, it's okay."

She immediately asked: "Have you found out, who did it?"

The king sighed silently.

"The evidence points directly to Yuncheng."

Puzzled in Huangfu Liyue's eyes: "Brother Wang?"

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 murderer also wore the badge of his guards."

Although the evidence points directly to Huangfu Yuncheng, Huangfu Liyue finds it strange.

"Father, although I don't know much about Brother Wang, I always feel that he shouldn't be such a confused person."

"I watched Yuncheng grow up. Even if he is not a soft-hearted person, he will definitely not be a disobedient and unfilial person."

"So father, do you think this matter is strange?"

The king glanced upstairs at Feng Suying's room, then closed his eyes, and nodded to Huangfu Liyue calmly.

Huangfu Liyue realized the strange look in her father's eyes, and said in a low voice: "Father, if you have anything to say, just say it."

The king suddenly dropped the subject.

"Today, your mother promised me to abdicate."

Huangfu Liyue's eyes moved slightly, and she fixedly looked at her father.

The father and daughter looked at each other silently, and neither of them spoke.

The air just stood still for dozens of seconds.

In the end, Huangfu Liyue's words broke the tranquility of the hall.

"Father, since the evidence points to Brother Wang, it is reasonable to investigate thoroughly and punish Brother Wang. As for your abdication, you should 'discuss' with your mother."

The king looked calm and gave a soft "hmm".

...

at night.

Country Z, Jiangcheng.

Due to work needs, Mu Jingchen has been staying in Quan's Bieyuan for the past few days.

At this time, he was dealing with official business in the study.

The night is dark, and it is inevitable that sleepiness will strike.

He stared at the computer screen in front of him, and his slender, white fingers touched the coffee cup on the table.

Then, skillfully sent it to the lips.

However, this cup of coffee has already bottomed out.

When he realized it, he frowned slightly, and immediately ordered to the door: "Pour a cup of coffee and come in."

He has the habit of working late at night, so the servants in Bieyuan will stand guard at the door of the study 24 hours a day, waiting for orders.

After a few minutes.

The door of the study was pushed open.

A woman in a white tunic walked in.

The woman had a light body and slow steps, holding a cup of tea in her hand, and carefully put it in Mu Jingchen's hand.

Mu Jingchen kept his eyes on the computer, not paying attention to who was coming.

When he casually picked up the tea cup at hand and brought it to his lips, his expression sank.

"I asked you to pour a cup of coffee, not to make tea!"

He put down his teacup and raised his eyes indifferently.
