Ye Lv An naturally understood the purpose of Bradley and Freya's return.

Firstly, it was to find the queen as soon as possible.

However, Ye Lv An was puzzled. The queen was from the Ye Lv Royal Family. Why did Bradley and Freya insist on pursuing this matter?

He really wanted to know, but Bradley wouldn't let him ask. As a result, the curious factor in his heart was ignited, and he was extremely itchy with curiosity.

Secondly, Bradley suspected that there was a mastermind behind the scenes hiding in the Ye Lv Royal Palace, and this person might pose a threat to the couple.

Ye Lv An was even more confused about this. If the mastermind behind the scenes wanted to deal with Bradley and his wife, why choose to lurk in the Ye Lv Royal Palace instead of taking action elsewhere? What on earth did the other party want to do?

Did they think the Ye Lv Family was easy to bully?

"Okay. Notify me immediately if there's any situation," Bradley said, put down the teacup, and stood up to leave.

At this moment, Ye Lv An called out to him, "I haven't finished speaking yet. Don't leave just yet."

Bradley turned his head and glanced at him, his tone indifferent. "Speak quickly if you have something to say, and get to the point."

Ye Lv An smiled obsequiously. "Bradley, can I ask you? Why are you so eager to catch the queen? What exactly do you want to do? Could it be that the queen has a feud with you?"

According to the maids in the palace, during Xingyue's birthday banquet before, Ye Lv Mingshuo had molested Freya and was severely beaten by Bradley. It seemed that the queen wanted to seek justice from Bradley because of this incident, and the feud was established at that time.

However, chasing the queen all over the world just because of such a trivial matter didn't seem right no matter how he thought about it.

Therefore, Ye Lv An thought that there must be a reason he didn't know, and this reason was a top-secret. That's why Bradley was being evasive and wouldn't say it.

"Old Xue, curiosity will kill the cat!" Bradley still didn't want to answer. Only when Freya herself made the decision to recognize Ye Lv An and was willing to do so could he explain the matter clearly.

Otherwise, no matter how many times Ye Lv An asked, he couldn't give an answer.

"I'd rather be killed by curiosity. Just tell me," Ye Lv An looked at Bradley eagerly. He was clearly an old uncle, yet he made a cute expression.

Bradley furrowed his brows, and a hint of disdain appeared in his eyes. "No comment."

"You're so unfeeling. What secret can't I know? Besides, even if I know it, I'll keep it a secret," Ye Lv An still didn't give up.

Bradley didn't want to continue this entanglement and simply threw out a sentence, "The hatred of killing one's mother."

The answer had been given. As for what Ye Lv An thought of it, it depended on his intelligence.

However, Ye Lv An was stunned when he heard this sentence.

The hatred of killing one's mother?

Whose mother did the queen kill?

Bradley's?

Ye Lv An imagined countless possibilities in his mind but never thought of Bai Zhilan.

After all, this matter had been in the past for so long, and he simply didn't think that Freya was Bai Zhilan's daughter.

"One more question. Who exactly is the mastermind behind the scenes you mentioned?" Before Bradley walked too far, Ye Lv An asked loudly.

Bradley's steps paused slightly. His thin lips parted, and he softly uttered an answer.

"The Yuan Kingdom."

After saying this, Ye Lv An's mind was in a mess.

No, why did people from the Yuan Kingdom come to Country Z to assassinate Bradley and Freya? What kind of enmity did they have?

Ye Lv An just couldn't figure it out.

...

Here, Freya and Queen Sally took a stroll in the back garden. After chatting for a while, they were about to go back and rest, but they bumped into a maid in the corridor.

The maid was holding a large pile of medicine, and with the collision, all the medicine bottles fell to the ground.

"Sorry, sorry. I didn't mean to," the maid quickly apologized to the two of them.

Freya bent down to help her pick up the medicine bottles and said, "It was our fault. We were chatting and didn't pay attention to the road and bumped into you. There's no need to apologize." After saying that, she glanced at the names of the medicines before returning the bottles to the maid.

The maid picked up the medicine bottles again, curtsied to Freya, and thanked her. "It was my recklessness. It's not the fault of the Mistress of Solterra and the Queen."

The maid kept apologizing, making Freya feel a bit at a loss. Finally, she said, "Leave," and the maid turned around and left.

However, Freya didn't notice that when the maid turned around, a sinister expression flashed across her face.

Freya had a good memory. She remembered the names of the medicines when she helped pick up the bottles and casually said, "If I'm not mistaken, those medicines are for Ye Lv Mingshuo."

They were all medicines that promoted skin metabolism. Since only Ye Lv Mingshuo in the palace was disfigured, Freya naturally guessed that they were for him.

"The medicines for the skin are probably for Ye Lv Mingshuo," Queen Sally responded.

Freya hummed. For some reason, she suddenly turned around and looked at the maid, who was hurrying towards Ye Lv Mingshuo's residence.

She didn't know if it was her imagination, but she actually felt that the maid's back was somewhat familiar.

But she couldn't remember where she had seen it for a moment.

"Freya!"

At this time, a familiar voice came from the front.

Freya looked up and saw Bradley standing in front of her, smiling.

"Then, Master, I'll go first," Freya said to Queen Sally and then quickly walked towards Bradley.

Queen Sally shook her head helplessly and sighed, "Once a girl grows up, she'll leave home!"

Freya had no idea what her master was talking about. She walked out of the garden hand in hand with Bradley. Along the way, Bradley told her about Ye Lv An's decision.

"Everything is ready. Be careful of your safety recently. I'm worried that the mastermind behind the scenes will show up at any time."

"Don't worry. I'm always ready for a fight."

Since the other party had lured them back here, they must have set up an inescapable trap waiting for them.

It could be said that their nerves were tense 24 hours a day.

Because the slightest mistake would surely make them the fish on the chopping block, at the mercy of others.

"By the way, is there any news about the queen?" When Freya said this, she turned around and looked back again. The maid had already disappeared from sight.

Bradley followed her gaze but didn't know what she was looking at. He shook his head and asked suspiciously, "What are you looking at?"

"Nothing. I just think the maid's back is somewhat similar, but I can't tell who she looks like."

"What maid?"

There was no one else around except the two of them.

Freya thought that maybe she was just being too sensitive. So she pulled the man's hand and said, "Maybe I was wrong. Let's go."

"Okay."

As soon as the two of them left, a figure flashed past the rockery.

It was the maid who had just left.

She looked at the backs of the two of them with a strange look in her eyes, and the coldness in her eyes gradually turned into a vicious murderous intent.

But she didn't look for too long. She turned around and walked towards Ye Lv Mingshuo's residence.

Although Ye Lv Mingshuo could already get out of bed, his burns all over his body hadn't healed yet, and he needed to lie in bed for a long time to recuperate. His disfigurement had already dealt him a great blow. Some time ago, it was revealed that he was the queen's illegitimate son and that the queen had fled with her crimes. Ye Lv Mingshuo felt as if the whole sky was about to collapse.
