Just like that, Yelü Qi gave Freya and Bradley two royal tokens respectively. As long as they showed these two tokens, no one would dare to stop them.
When the queen heard this news, she was so angry that she almost fainted.
"Is the king getting senile? He actually allows the people from Solterra to have free rein in his own territory. Has he forgotten that you and Xingyue are lying in bed now all because of Freya and Leonard's schemes?"
The queen was currently in Yelü Mingshuo's bedroom. She angrily threw the teacup in her hand to the ground.
Although Yelü Mingshuo still couldn't get up, his consciousness was getting better day by day.
Facing the queen's anger, he comforted her, "Mother, don't be anxious. Father must have his own considerations for doing this. Now everyone in the palace is in a state of panic, and catching that murderer is the top priority."
"Catching? How can we catch them? Are we relying on these two outsiders?" The queen had a deep hostility towards Leonard and Freya and couldn't accept Yelü Qi's decision.
In contrast to the queen's anger, Yelü Mingshuo seemed calm. Now he had other backers. Even if he didn't rely on the queen, he could still seize the throne.
But to get the help of that mysterious person, the prerequisite was to fulfill his requirements.
Currently, it was about dealing with Freya to restrain Bradley. The first two attempts had ended in failure, and Yelü Mingshuo was still worried about how to carry out the third operation.
Now Freya and Leonard were the only two among all the guests who could move freely in the palace. As long as he caused them some trouble, he didn't believe that he couldn't find something against them.
Even if they could escape safely time and time again, what about that group of envoys? They might trust them the first and second times, but how could they trust them a third time?
People's hearts were the easiest to sow discord in. As long as it was carried out from the perspective of interests, there was no goal that couldn't be achieved.
It was a pity that he liked Freya so much, but in the end, he still had to choose to hurt her first and then find an opportunity to get her.
However, those who wanted to achieve great things could never be indecisive. Some sacrifices were necessary!
After experiencing this life-and-death crisis, Yelü Mingshuo had been lying in bed every day, scheming and calculating, and he had also figured out a lot of things.
In the past, his temper was irritable and difficult to control. Now he had learned to hide his thoughts in his heart, waiting for the right opportunity to strike back at the other side.
"Mother, since they want to get involved in this matter, let them investigate. We just need to sit back and watch the show." Yelü Mingshuo said.
The queen stared at him in a daze. Why did Yelü Mingshuo seem like a completely different person after waking up?
In the past, when faced with such a thing, he would definitely have been as furious as herself.
But now he was so calm, which was really hard to figure out.
"Mingshuo, are you not feeling well?" The queen was worried that something was wrong with him and quickly asked.
Yelü Mingshuo squinted his eyes and said, "I'm not unwell. I've just thought through a lot of things while lying here these days. I feel that I was too spineless in the past. So from now on, I want to become stronger."
There was a faint cold light flickering in his eyes, with a terrifying murderous intent. Even the queen could feel his overwhelming hostility.
This son had really changed.
He used to be reckless and impulsive, but now he had become resourceful and scheming.
That was good. In the future, if he could strive to please Yelü Qi, he wouldn't end up waiting to be deposed.
"Very well, it's good that you can figure it out. No matter what you want to do, mother will support you!" They were like grasshoppers on the same rope. Yelü Mingshuo's accident would bring her no benefits.
Similarly, if she was replaced by that bitch, the princess consort, Yelü Mingshuo wouldn't be able to become the king either.
"Mother, go back. I'm tired."
"All right. Mother will come to see you tomorrow. Take a good rest."
The queen left the bedroom and immediately called several guards, ordering them to secretly monitor every move of Freya and Bradley and report any situation to her.
She always felt that the existence of these two people was a menace, and she was afraid that the entire Country Z would be ruined by them.
However, Freya and Bradley didn't care about these informants at all and just let them follow.
After leaving Yelü Qi's place, the two of them went straight to the testing laboratory.
The test report of the silver needle had already come out, and they had to determine what kind of toxin was on the silver needle.
Yelü An had already been waiting in the office. When he saw the two of them come in, he quickly handed over the report.
Freya took it and took a look. When she saw the specific components of the silver needle, she was greatly shocked.
This was a kind of chronic poison that damaged the brain tissue. It was transmitted into the blood through the silver needle and slowly spread in the body. After the brain tissue was gradually damaged, the human body would gradually show hallucinatory phenomena.
Mr. Ouyang had a chronic disease and had been receiving medication. Coincidentally, the components of those medications were in conflict with the components of this poison. After being nourished by the hot spring, he suddenly fell ill and died.
The secretary also had poor kidney function. He should have been poisoned at the same time as Mr. Ouyang.
So, could it be concluded that this poison was a deadly toxin for people with chronic diseases?
"Bradley, we have to find Mr. Ouyang's body as soon as possible. As long as we can confirm that there is also a poisoned needle on his forehead, all my speculations can be verified."
Freya said in a solemn voice. The murderer behind the scenes had been so scheming as to try to make her take the blame, but in the end, they were too clever for their own good and had let her find this clue.
As long as she found the cause of death, she would have a way to draw out the real culprit behind the scenes.
Bradley nodded and immediately asked Ying to send people to handle this matter.
At the same time, as soon as the queen left, the man in black appeared in Yelü Mingshuo's bedroom again.
"Find a way to get rid of Freya. This woman is a menace if left alive!"
This woman had ruined their plans several times. Now Yelü Qi had even allowed the two of them to enter and exit the palace freely, which was extremely disadvantageous to them.
When Yelü Mingshuo heard this task, his pupils shrank sharply twice. He said in a hoarse voice, "No, Freya can't die."
"Do you want to violate the agreement?"
The man in black's voice was extremely cold when he saw that he refused.
Yelü Mingshuo said, "I like her, and I want to have her."
Over the years, while chasing Rita, he had sworn to get this woman by any means. Even if she belonged to Leonard now, when he sat on the throne and destroyed Leonard, Rita would naturally belong to him.
It was with this belief that he wanted to become stronger.
So, he wouldn't lay a hand on Freya.
"Throughout history, beautiful women have always been a source of trouble. If you're reluctant to kill her, sooner or later she will kill you. It's up to you to choose whether it's you or her who dies." The man in black said without any warmth.
Yelü Mingshuo's hand wrapped in gauze tightly grasped the bedsheet, and a look of pain appeared in his eyes.
Even though he had been almost beaten to death by Leonard last time, and Freya might have been involved in the fire this time, the only person he wanted to kill was Leonard. He had never had any intention of destroying Freya.
But now, for the sake of the throne, he was wavering.
