In the Hall of Light, the Queen was listening calmly to Song He describing the results of a group of important officials discussing how to deal with the Turkic war in the past few days.
The indifferent expression of the Queen suddenly changed because she heard Hui'er's inner power transmission in her ears.
Looking at Songhe and the countermeasures he was talking about in the memorial, the queen stood up gently and said, "Song Aiqing."
Song He, who was reading the memorial, was startled and looked away from the memorial to look at the Queen.
"Your Majesty, does your Majesty think there is anything wrong?"
The Queen shook her head slightly: "I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable. Please submit the memorial. I will go back and read it in person. If there is anything I think is inappropriate, I will use a red pen to highlight it and call it back for reconsideration."
"I obey the decree."
Songhe closed the memorial, and Shuangyue, the housekeeper beside the queen, hurriedly came down, took the memorial, and sent it to the queen.
The Queen took the memorial and glanced at the civil and military officials in the palace: "The king of the town has sent a document to urge the grain and grass matter. Please work hard and transport the subsequent grain and grass to southern Xinjiang as soon as possible. Remember not to delay the southward journey."
"I obey the order. I hope your majesty will take care of the dragon body and send it off to you respectfully!"
"Retreat from the court."
"I bid you farewell, long live long live."
The queen took the memorial from Shuangyue's hand and walked towards the back of the palace unhurriedly.
As soon as she passed through the bead curtain, the queen's figure sped up, looking at Hui'er who looked a little anxious and hurried towards the direction of the study room.
"Talking as we walk."
"In compliance with your order, Your Majesty."
Hui'er followed the Queen closely. After handing the note to the Queen, she briefly and urgently described what happened to Young Master Liu and her own doubts.
On the corridor leading to Shan's study, the Queen put away the notes she had read, her pace slowed down involuntarily, and her eyes were filled with thoughts.
After a long time, the Queen glanced at Hui'er hesitantly: "According to what you said, the conscienceless person has been wandering around the Royal Garden Lake with Yue'er these days, maybe just to determine the location of the secret passage?"
Hui'er nodded hesitantly: "This is just Hui'er's temporary speculation. As for whether there is really a secret way, Hui'er doesn't dare to say for sure."
The Queen pondered and shook her head: "I don't think it's possible. Digging a secret passage from the swamp outside the city to the imperial garden is no small project."
"How could it be possible for those heartless people to complete it in just over twenty days without a lot of manpower and material resources..." The queen was stunned for a moment, and a look of surprise appeared on her pretty face: "Jiangnan Liuye? Liu Zhi'an came to help?"
"Hui'er has just considered this possibility. If Jiangnan Liuye helps, it is not impossible to dig out a secret passage."
"Or..."
Seeing Hui'er hesitate to speak, the Queen said directly: "But it doesn't matter."
"According to the order."
"Or is it possible that this secret passage is not just one, but a secret passage leading outside the palace, and then a secret passage leads from somewhere on the city wall. In this way, the effort required will be saved by at least about 70%."
"Furthermore, Mr. Liu is a half-step innate master. He has excellent light skills. He is much faster on the ground than in the secret tunnel, and it is easier to deceive others. After all, the movement of digging the secret tunnel can be big or small, and it is difficult not to be discovered. .”
The Queen was stunned and nodded slightly: "This possibility cannot be ruled out, and it will be explained more clearly this way."
The queen lowered her head and looked at the note in her hand again: "If Jiangnan Liuye really helps, the outcome of this bet will be really unpredictable."
"I intercepted two pieces of information in a row. It seems that there is a high possibility of a secret passage in the Royal Garden."
"Your Majesty, what should we do now? Hui'er just discovered that Master Liu seemed to be moving towards the Royal Garden intentionally or unintentionally. Maybe it was Hui'er's misunderstanding because of her excessive suspicion."
The Queen stuffed the two notes into her sleeves and walked quickly towards the Chancellor's Study Room.
"Let's go take a look first. Send an order to Fei Luan to continue searching every part of the imperial garden. It's better to believe what he has than what he doesn't."
"yes!"
During the tea time, Queen Hui'er and the two rushed to the study room one after another. They looked at the pavilion not far away gradually approaching the path leading to the imperial garden, but Liu Dashao was a little hesitant, and the Queen's eyebrows wrinkled slightly.
"Your Majesty, the brothers have intercepted information again."
The Queen turned and looked towards Hui'er, only to see a lifeless carrier pigeon in Hui'er's hand. The carrier pigeon was penetrated by a special crossbow arrow.
Hui'er took out a note from the carrier pigeon's leg and hurriedly handed it to the Queen's hand.
"Young Master, most of the brothers have been captured now. In order to prevent the information from falling into the hands of the Golden Queen and being completely leaked, the Young Master please seize the opportunity to leave the Golden Palace through the secret passage to prevent the secret passage outside the city. The exit was searched by heavy troops sent by the Golden Queen, cutting off the young master's escape route."
The Queen suddenly grabbed the note and glanced at Liu Dashao who kept looking at the sky, looking uneasy and biting her silver teeth.
"Hui'er!"
"exist!"
"Send additional manpower to thoroughly inspect the Imperial Garden, dig three feet into the ground to find the entrance to the secret passage, and send an order to Yelv Mo to lead ten thousand cavalry to search the swamps outside the city along the way."
"Your Majesty, all the brothers have gone out to hunt down Master Liu's spies. There are not many manpower in the palace now."
"How many people are monitoring unscrupulous people?"
"Forty-eight people!"
"Deploy another twenty-eight people to search the Imperial Garden, leaving twenty of the best kung fu masters to monitor the unscrupulous ones."
"Got the order!"
After Hui'er left, the Queen looked angrily at Young Master Liu who looked a little impatient.
"No matter how powerful Liu Ye is under your father's command, the number of Liu Ye's brothers hidden in the Jin Kingdom is limited. Wan Yan wants to see how many men he has to compete with Wan Yan."
"This is Wanyan's home field. We can use as many manpower as Wanyan needs."
The Queen stared closely at the figure of Young Master Liu, and saw the little cutie running along the corridor from her palace towards Young Master Liu.
Because the distance was too far, the queen could not hear what the father and daughter were talking and laughing about.
After drinking tea, the queen saw Young Master Liu gently touching her daughter's hair, holding the little cutie's hand and walking towards the imperial garden.
The Queen's eyebrows narrowed and she hurriedly jumped in the direction of the father and daughter.
"Heartless, Yue'er, what are you going to do?"
"Hey, mother, you're going to court!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at the empress who suddenly leaped over with a surprised look on his face: "Wanyuan, why did you leave the court so early today? Don't you usually come back later in the afternoon?"
Young Master Liu's anxious and uneasy expression was comparable to that of a movie actor. He unknowingly thought that he was afraid that the Queen would suddenly return to the Chancery's study room so early.
The Queen chuckled and raised her hand to tidy up Young Master Liu's wind-blown hair.
"Today is the small court meeting. There are not many things to deal with. I politely went to court a little early. What are you father and daughter going to do?"
"Mom, dad said those koi carps in the Royal Garden Lake must be delicious, and he is planning to take Yue'er to catch a few of them together!"
When the Queen heard this, the panic in her eyes flashed away, she raised her hand and stroked the little cutie's hair and laughed.
"Yue'er, and the Bielu family paid mother a lot of exotic flowers and herbs bought from the Western Regions as tribute to my mother. My mother had already arranged for people to plant them in the Imperial Garden in the morning. Now the Imperial Garden is undergoing extensive construction work. The ravines are uneven and there is a matter of catching fish. In two days, when those exotic flowers and plants are planted, my mother will accompany you to catch fish."
"Okay, but mother, you have to keep your word and accompany Yue'er to catch fish with daddy."
"My mother has a golden tongue, and whatever she says is what she says."
"Yes, yes, yes, Yue'er believes in mother."
"Heartless, what do you think?"
Young Master Liu's disappointed eyes wandered for a moment, and he nodded helplessly.
"Since there is a lot of construction work going on, it's definitely not safe for Yue'er to be so young, so we'd better wait."
The Queen looked at the uneasiness in Young Master Liu's eyes, smiled lightly, took Young Master Liu's arm and looked around at the surrounding scenery.
"You two, father and daughter, really want to eat fish. Please politely ask someone to buy some delicious wild fish."
"how?"
"Well... let's forget it. I don't really want to eat it, mainly because of Yue'er."
"Isn't the Royal Garden planting exotic flowers and plants from the Western Regions? When I went to the Western Regions, I stayed there for several years, and I know a lot about some things in the Western Regions."
"Why don't you play with Yue'er first, and I'll go to the Royal Garden to see if I can be of any help. After all, more people can do more, what do you think?"
