Chapter 1542 Punishment of the cane

After the maid went in to report, she came out again.

“Princess Liyue, you can go in.”

Huangfu Liyue followed the maid and entered the queen’s bedroom.

The queen stood in front of the window, holding the all-white cat, looking out the window with a sad face.

Realizing that Huangfu Liyue was behind her, she didn’t look back, and said lightly, “Are you sure you won’t leave?”

“I can’t leave my daughter here alone, Her Majesty, as a mother, you should be able to understand my feelings.”

The queen turned around slowly.

“So, why did you come to see me?”

Huangfu Liyue said frankly: “I need your help.”

The queen stroked the white cat in her arms and said indifferently, “I can’t help you.”

Huangfu Liyue’s expression was firm.

“How do you know if you don’t try?”

The queen came interested.

“try?”

“You’ve lived under your grandmother’s control for so many years, haven’t you thought about rebelling?”

“Resist?”

The queen raised her lips and then said nothing.

If she could resist, would she have to wait until now?

Huangfu Liyue knew her difficulties, and said again: “The reason why you can’t fight against your grandmother is because the power of the E country is in her hands. Have you ever thought about taking this power back?”

The queen raised her brows and smiled.

“Naturally, I have thought about it. Who wants to be controlled by others for a lifetime? However, things are not as simple as you think.

Who is the grandmother, her mind is more exquisite and transparent than anyone else.

As long as I can think of it, she has long thought of it, and it’s more long-term than I thought. ”

Huangfu Liyue said sternly: “You are the current queen. She is not qualified to hold the power in her hands. Even if the hope is slim, you should give it a try.”

“it’s useless.”

The queen vetoed her words indifferently.

“The most powerful army in country E is the army of dead soldiers founded by my grandfather. Although this army has only tens of thousands of people, each dead soldier in it can reach one hundred.

You should have also seen the power of the dead, they are not afraid of any weapons at all, and can easily complete difficult tasks.

As long as the army of the dead is in my grandmother’s hands, even with power, I can’t stand against her. ”

Huangfu Liyue asked, “Your Majesty, I have a question. Since your grandfather founded this army of dead soldiers, why did they obey your grandmother’s orders?”

The queen slowly put down the white cat in her hand and watched it run out.

“Back then, after my grandfather founded the Army of the Dead, he ordered a skilled craftsman to cast a jade plaque.

This jade card, called the Order of the Dead, was specially used to dispatch the dead.

The deceased saw the military order as if he saw his grandfather. After his grandfather abdicated, the military order fell into the hands of his grandmother, until now. ”

Huangfu Liyue immediately said: “So, if you can get the order of the dead soldier, your grandmother will have no way to suppress you any more?”

The queen frowned slightly.

“Having said that, but if you want to get a military order, it’s easier said than done?”

Huangfu Liyue’s eyes narrowed.

“So, do you know where the military order is?”

“My grandmother lived in the black tower for a long time. If I guessed correctly, the military order should be in the black tower.”

Knowing this, Huangfu Liyue seemed to see hope.

“Queen, then we can totally try it!”

The queen shook her head.

“It’s not as simple as you think. Don’t look at the fact that there are no guards around the black tower. In fact, they are all under the control of the grandmother. Without her permission, no one is allowed to approach the black tower.

I have lived in the castle for many years, and I have been to the black tower only a few times.

It was grandmother’s territory alone, and it was a fool’s dream for outsiders to get close. ”

Huangfu Liyue was silent for a while, and then boldly proposed: “Queen, let me try it!”

There was a hint of surprise in the queen’s eyes, and then she refused.

“You go to the Black Tower alone, there is only one dead end.”

Grandmother was very dissatisfied with her. If she entered the black tower alone, wouldn’t the sheep go into the tiger’s mouth?

Knowing the Queen’s concerns, Huangfu Liyue said calmly, “Don’t worry, Queen, I’m not stupid enough to swagger into the Black Tower. I mean, Queen, please help me enter the Black Tower!”

“I?”

The queen raised her brows and immediately understood what she meant.

“Do you want to disguise as the maid next to your grandmother and infiltrate the Black Tower?”

“Do not.”

Huangfu Liyue looked at her and said, “If you pretend to be a maid, you won’t be able to escape the sharp eyes of your grandmother. I mean, dead man!”

The queen’s expression darkened.

In the black tower, in addition to the grandmother, there are countless dead men and two maids trusted by the grandmother.

The two maids have been with my grandmother for many years, no matter how Huangfu Liyue pretends, it is impossible to imitate the same in a short period of time.

But the dead man is different.

The dead man was dressed in a black robe and had a mask on his face. Only a pair of eyes were exposed from the top of his body. No one knew what kind of face was behind the mask.

If you want to disguise as a dead man, it is much simpler.

But even so, the Queen is still very worried.

“The dead are different from ordinary soldiers. They are agile and move very fast, but they are not so easy to imitate. If your grandmother finds out the clue, you will not have the chance to get out of the black tower.”

“I understand, but ask the Queen to promise to help. For my daughter, I’m willing to give it a try!”

Seeing that her attitude was so firm, the queen’s eyes deepened a little.

“You can think clearly, the black tower is an extremely dangerous place. If something happens, I can’t protect you.”

Huangfu Liyue did not hesitate.

“Queen, I have already thought clearly!”

The queen sighed softly.

“Okay, I will send someone to keep an eye on the situation on the Black Tower side as soon as possible and look for suitable opportunities.”

“Thank you Queen!”

After discussing this matter, Huangfu Liyue suddenly remembered what the maid had just said, and asked again: “Queen, I was outside the door just now, and I heard from the maid that the ceremony of recognizing the ancestors and returning to the clan will be held in the next two days, and let my daughter join the Ji family. spectrum?”

Speaking of this, the Queen’s face changed visibly.

“Yes, grandma has asked me to arrange it as soon as possible, but don’t worry, I will try to delay this for a few days.”

Huangfu Liyue looked puzzled.

It’s just a ceremony of recognizing ancestors and returning to their ancestors. Why does the maid at the door constantly marvel, and the queen looks very worried?

“Queen, what is the significance of this ceremony of recognizing the ancestors and returning to the ancestors?”

The queen explained: “You are not from the E country. You don’t know the rules of our royal family. If you recognize your ancestors and return to the ancestors, you must accept the ‘vine whip’. Your daughter is young, I am afraid she can’t stand it.”

“The punishment of the cane whip?”

“In short, it is to beat the body with a special cane until fainting, and then wash the body of filth before inheriting the title of the royal family, which means rebirth, forgetting the past, and starting a noble royal life.”

When the words fell, the queen lifted her cuffs, revealing half of her arms.

Huangfu Liyue could clearly see the criss-crossing welts on her arms, which seemed to be a few years old.
