Yun Ruoyue's eyes flashed slightly, and then she said, "This is my own guess. Not only do I guess so, but the general public also guess so."
As she said that, she looked at Xue Feiye seriously, "Queen Mother, do you think that if we find a way to open the true door, will we have a chance to obtain treasures that can be used to help the people?"
"This..." Xue Feiye's eyes flashed.
She hesitated for a moment and said, "Yue'er, what you said makes sense. Maybe there are treasures in this underground palace, but I really don't know how to open it. Your grandmother passed it down to me, and I don't know either.
Why is it like this? Maybe after so many years, these mechanisms and formations have long been changed or have become ineffective, so there is nothing I can do."
Hearing this, Yun Ruoyue felt very disappointed.
But she still didn't give up, "Mother, think carefully, has grandma told you any other methods?"
"This... no, no, your grandma didn't tell me." Xue Feiye said with a guilty conscience.
Seeing her guilty look, Yun Ruoyue's heart dropped again.
A glimmer of hope finally ignited in her heart, but unexpectedly it was extinguished again.
She said: "Mother, can you really not remember it? Do you know? Now the people outside are talking about you. They say you have selfish motives, saying that you want to take the treasure to yourself, so you don't open the underground palace. They also say
, because you opened the false door, you killed so many innocent people, and you almost killed me too."
"What? People are actually talking about me like this?" Xue Feiye clenched her fists in anger.
Yun Ruoyue nodded helplessly, "Yes, if the people are unable to make a living, it will cause turmoil in the country. Once this happens, it will be a disaster for everyone, and we have no time to save it now. Mother, if you know the method, can you tell me
?Let’s go open the underground palace together, take out the treasures, and save the people! Then the people will definitely be grateful to you and won’t blame you anymore!”
Hearing Yun Ruoyue's words, Xue Feiye was already furious.
She rolled her sleeves angrily, "Yue'er, you are my child, how can you doubt me so much? Do you think I am the kind of selfish person who only cares about myself?"
As she said this, she clutched her chest sadly, "In short, I only know this method, and I have absolutely no selfish motives. If the people want to say it, let them say it!"
At this point, she said sadly: "Okay, Yue'er, I still have something to do. You can rest first. I'll come see you tomorrow!"
"Mother..." Yun Ruoyue was about to speak, but Xue Feiye had already left uncomfortably!
Seeing her distressed back, Yun Ruoyue felt very uncomfortable.
She sat down on the chair slumpedly, regretting what she just said.
But if she didn't say it, these words would be like thorns stuck in her heart, making her feel very uncomfortable.
This time it was still the same as last time. She didn't ask anything and made the queen mother sad.
She really wanted to choose to believe her mother, but she could clearly see the guilt and concealment in her mother's eyes.
Why did the queen mother keep hiding her secret?
Could it be that the Queen Mother is just pretending?
Pretending to care about the people, pretending to care about her, but in fact her purpose is still to steal the treasure?
Otherwise, how should she explain the strangeness of her mother?
-
After returning to Lingyue Palace, Xue Feiye locked herself in the room and refused to eat or drink.
She didn't expect that her biological daughter would join the people in doubting her.
But this can't be blamed on Yue'er.
It was indeed her lack of consideration that put so many people in danger.
She almost killed Yue'er.
Is it because of this?
Yue'er has a grudge against her? Do you think she, as a mother, doesn't care about her life?
Did she really do something wrong this time?
But if she doesn't do this, the people's losses will be greater and the consequences will be more serious.
Hearing Yue'er mention the real and fake doors just now, Xue Feiye had a bad premonition in her heart.
Could it be that the Imperial Master really told Yue'er?
Did the Imperial Master slander her in front of Yue'er, so Yue'er misunderstood her?
She originally wanted to tell Yue'er the truth, but Yue'er has now lost some memories and is very alienated from her. Next to Yue'er, there are Long Qi and Pei'er staring at her.
She had a hunch that perhaps the Imperial Master had sent Yue'er into the palace to explore her secrets.
In this case, once she tells Yue'er, Yue'er will most likely be used by the Imperial Master.
So no matter what, she can't say it now.
-
Then, Yun Ruoyue stayed in the palace for more than half a month and also wished the queen a birthday.
For the past half month, Yun Ruoyue has been thinking of ways to detect the secrets of the underground palace.
But the queen seemed to be very wary of her. No matter how she tried to make insinuations, the queen would not tell her.
Moreover, the queen seemed to be aware of her thoughts and knew that she was ordered to enter the palace to explore the secrets, so she was unwilling to tell her anything.
In this way, she couldn't ask any more questions.
Since she couldn't ask anything, Yun Ruoyue felt that it was pointless to stay in the palace, and she wanted to return to the Imperial Master's Mansion.
She missed the place where she grew up and everything about the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion. She also wanted to go back to see the Imperial Preceptor and discuss countermeasures with him.
In addition, the Imperial Preceptor became anxious when he saw that she had been unable to find out the secret, so he sent someone to take her back to his home.
So after saying goodbye to Xue Feiye, she left the palace with the people from the Imperial Master's Office.
The captain of the guard who came to pick her up was Long Kun, but Long Qi had left the palace long ago because something happened at home, so only Pei'er was left with Yun Ruoyue.
Then, she took Pei'er and left the palace with Long Kun.
-
At this time, at the city gate of Xueyue Kingdom, a group of burly men dressed in foreign costumes and felt hats were inspected by the guards and then led their horses into the city.
This group of people was none other than Chu Xuanchen and others who had been galloping for more than ten days.
Finally entering Lingcheng, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Mo Li, who was full of beards, hurriedly approached Chu Xuanchen and whispered: "Your Majesty, we finally entered the city. I didn't expect it to be so easy."
Chu Xuanchen plucked a ring of beard from his chin, adjusted the felt hat on his head, and said, "Thanks to Master Feng's disguise skills, we were able to reach Lingcheng smoothly all the way."
"Yes, the emperor sent so many pursuers to chase us. There are checkpoints everywhere on the border. Thanks to the Feng Military Council, we disguised ourselves as shepherds on the border and escaped pursuit. But my lord, you look like this now.
Is it a bit detrimental to your suave temperament?" Liu Ruyan looked at Chu Xuanchen who had changed his attire, feeling a little nostalgic for the handsome and unrestrained prince before.
When everyone heard this, they quickly looked towards Chu Xuanchen.
I saw that the skin on his face was deliberately painted very dark, a beard was glued on his chin, he wore a gray felt hat on his head, and he wore patched clothes.
