Therefore, no matter what the White Fox said, Freya still suspected Cheng Huimin.

Even if she had no connection with the mastermind behind the scenes, she must be someone extraordinary.

"Alright then. I'll get in touch with her for a few more days and see."

The White Fox scratched her head, thinking that the boss was being too suspicious.

Cheng Huimin was just a weak woman without any strength. How could she be one of those people who wanted to harm them behind the scenes?

After the White Fox left, Freya sat on the sofa and carefully sorted out what the White Fox had said.

Cheng Huimin...

She used to work in a beauty salon.

Her parents were sick.

Well, it wasn't difficult to trace these things. As long as someone was sent out to investigate the situation, they would know if Cheng Huimin was lying.

Freya immediately arranged for someone to look into this matter.

Not long after, news came that Cheng Huimin indeed had work experience in medical beauty, and both of her parents were in poor health and had been taking medicine.

Even though the verbal testimony matched the facts, it still couldn't convince Freya to believe Cheng Huimin.

She didn't know where the problem lay. The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became, so she decided to go out for a walk to relax.

Since the accidents in the royal palace, it felt as if the entire environment had undergone earth-shaking changes.

The guards patrolled around the clock, and there were many more of them than before. The whole royal palace exuded an oppressive atmosphere.

As Freya walked, she observed her surroundings. Although she was lurking secretly, she still noticed that there were many people from the Dark Web among the guards. Of course, the most familiar one was Xiao Yan.

To protect Xiao Yan's identity, Freya pretended not to know him and passed by him. Then she walked towards the garden.

Freya quite liked the garden of the Ye Lu royal palace. It was exquisitely designed, and the corridor leading to the back garden had a unique charm.

However, not long after she entered the corridor, a gentle and sweet female voice came from behind her.

Freya turned around and saw that it was the princess consort.

During her stay in the royal palace for so many days, Freya had rarely interacted with the princess consort. After all, she was Xingyue's mother. Even though Freya didn't dislike her, she wasn't particularly interested in her either.

The princess consort approached and smiled sweetly at her. "Queen Solterra is also out for a stroll to relax. Coincidentally, I came out to bask in the sun. How about we go together?"

Since she had already said that, Freya couldn't very well refuse, so she nodded.

The two of them walked side by side towards the garden. On the way, Freya casually asked, "How is the princess consort's health recently?"

It had been quite a long time since the last time Freya had helped to examine her. She had prescribed some tonic medicine for the princess consort. If she had followed the instructions and taken the medicine on time, her body should be much stronger than before.

The princess consort said, "I used to feel tired whenever I went out for a walk. I couldn't stand the strong sun, and I would easily get sick when the wind blew. But recently, I've been able to stay outside for a longer time, and I'm much more energetic."

"All of this is thanks to Queen Solterra. You've helped me regain my health, and now I can enjoy the pleasures of life like an ordinary person."

When she said this, Freya turned her head to look at her.

When she first met the princess consort, her skin was so white that it was almost transparent, a pale white that lacked vitality. She was also very thin, and her whole body exuded an unhealthy and sickly aura.

But now, looking at her, her skin had become much more ruddy, and she seemed to have gained some weight. The smile on her face was also confident and strong.

It was obvious that she had indeed improved a lot.

However, Freya also saw a different look in the princess consort's eyes. Compared to her previous lack of ambition to compete or fight, there seemed to be something called scheming in her eyes.

Was it her imagination?

Freya closed her eyes and opened them again. When she looked at the princess consort again, that look was gone.

She composed herself and said politely, "It's my duty. The princess consort doesn't need to be so polite."

While they were talking, they had already arrived at the back garden.

In the past, when she came here, it was always empty. But today, it was unusually lively, with a group of gardeners trimming the garden.

What puzzled Freya was that all the flower plants in the garden that were growing very well had been uprooted, and even those fresh green plants had been carried away pot by pot.

Out of curiosity, Freya wanted to go over and ask about the situation. Just then, a gardener took the initiative to approach and bowed his head to the princess consort, saying, "The garden will be completely renovated today, and all the plants will be replaced with peonies."

The princess consort waved her hand indifferently and said, "I see. Hurry up and get on with it."

"Yes, princess consort!"

The gardener quickly returned to his post and continued to remove the potted plants from the back garden.

Freya asked in confusion, "Princess consort, what's going on?"

The princess consort explained, "The flowers in this garden were all planted by the former queen. Now that the former queen has committed a great crime and fled, there's no need to keep anything related to her. So I asked someone to renovate the garden and plant peonies instead, to prevent the king from getting angry and hurting his health when he comes here and sees these flowers and plants and thinks of the former queen."

Upon hearing this, Freya stared at the princess consort for a long time.

It was still the same face, but she was no longer the same person as before.

When talking about the former queen, the princess consort used to be extremely calm. But now, the hatred in her eyes was hard to hide, and there was even a hint of complex emotion.

Freya could actually understand the princess consort's change. After all, it was the former queen who had ruined her health, and several of her children had also died from the former queen's poisoning. Anyone would feel hatred in such a situation.

But for some reason, the aura surrounding the princess consort at this moment made Freya feel extremely uncomfortable.

Just as she was thinking about it, there was a commotion behind her again.

Freya turned around and saw that Bradley and Ye Lu An had appeared behind her.

The two of them were discussing something. Suddenly, a guard came to pass on the message that the princess consort was going to renovate the back garden.

As soon as Ye Lu An heard the news, he rushed over. When he saw the scene in front of him, his eyebrows twitched several times. He strode forward and shouted at the gardeners carrying the potted plants in the garden, "Put everything down. Don't touch anything anymore."

The flowers planted in this garden were all expensive varieties.

Yet the princess consort said she wanted to renovate it and remove these rare flowers and plants?

This made Ye Lu An extremely angry.

When the princess consort saw Ye Lu An appear, she quickly greeted him and explained softly, "An, this was all my idea. Don't blame them."

Ye Lu An snorted. "So many big things have happened in the royal palace recently, and the king is still lying in bed recuperating. Instead of having the leisure to renovate the garden, the princess consort might as well use that time to take care of the king."

When he said this, the princess consort's face changed.

She reached out to grab Ye Lu An's hand, but then she noticed that there were other people around, so she quickly withdrew her hand. However, she still tried hard to explain herself, "There's Queen Sally taking care of the king. I can't be of much help if I go there. So I thought I might as well tidy up the royal palace a bit and see if it can bring us some good luck."

Ye Lu An didn't appreciate it. He took a step back and said in a cold tone, "Queen Sally has already returned to her country. If the princess consort has the intention, she can go and take care of the king now."
