The fact that the Queen of Country Y was an imposter has now been exposed.
Could it be such a coincidence that these two lads ran into the real queen?
Thinking of this, Miss Mei smiled and said nonchalantly, "Leave this matter to me and your parents to investigate. You two better behave yourselves. I know you're capable, but you know, children are still just children!"
Gu Jingxing and Li Zixiao's faces stiffened, and they looked at Miss Mei with resentment, clearly somewhat unconvinced.
Li Zixiao simply changed the subject and explained directly to Miss Mei:
“I can’t say for sure, I just have some doubts, but now that she’s been disfigured, we can’t confirm her identity.”
Seeing that it was getting late, Mei thought for a while and decided to leave the crazy woman here for the time being.
"It's getting late, you should wash up and go to bed first. Stay here with me tonight, and I'll send you to your mother's place in a couple of days. As for this woman, I'll take good care of her; her face might be curable."
She had once found medicine to treat scars from Gu Momo. Although this woman's face looked badly injured, it wasn't impossible for it to recover.
Hearing Mei's words, Li Zixiao and Gu Jingxing finally felt relieved.
...
Y Country Hotel
Li Zhanting failed to catch the two little ones and had to rush back to his hotel suite.
As soon as I entered, Gu Momo greeted me, "Where have you been?"
"Let's go to the palace and check on the situation," Li Zhanting casually made up an excuse.
Gu Momo didn't have any doubts, after all, this matter concerned his parents, so it was understandable that he cared so much.
"So, what did you find out?"
Li Zhanting shook his head.
Gu Momo reviewed all the information she had recently received and already had her own thoughts:
“I think that the fact that your father revealed the Queen’s false identity to us means that he must have found out more than we have. In the past news, it can be seen that the Queen values your father very much, but he maintains this relationship on the surface while secretly investigating. If there is a split in the royal family, it is very likely that one side will be your father and the other side will be the Queen.”
She calmly analyzed the situation, completely unaware that Li Zhanting's gaze towards her was filled with admiration and pride.
Just then, Gu Momo received a call from Miss Mei.
"Sister Momo, I've found Jingxing and Zixiao!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Momo quickly gripped her phone tightly. "Where are they now?"
"Don't worry, they're safe. I've already sent people to take them back to the Royal Holiday Hotel and assigned people to protect them. But now there's a more troublesome problem."
Hearing that her sons were alright, Gu Momo felt relieved. "Is there any other problem?"
“Yesterday when I went to pick up the two little ones, I found a crazy woman following them, so I brought her back. Jingxing and Zixiao suspect that this woman may have some connection with the royal family.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Momo immediately thought of the missing true queen. "Where is that woman now?"
"Right at my place."
"Send me the address, I'll be right there."
After hanging up the phone, Gu Momo immediately grabbed Li Zhanting and rushed to Miss Mei's residence.
When the two arrived, Mei was painstakingly teaching the madwoman how to eat with chopsticks. However, the madwoman, looking at the delicious food in front of her, couldn't listen to a word. Her eyes were fixed on the rice, as if she wanted to swallow it all in one gulp.
Miss Mei had no choice but to shrug and say, "From yesterday until now, she hasn't said a word. All she thinks about is eating. The worst part is that she doesn't use chopsticks, making my dining table look like a garbage dump."
Gu Momo looked at the crazy woman in front of her; her eyebrows and eyes did indeed resemble the Queen's somewhat.
But because of her years of wandering, her skin was dark, and there were obvious wrinkles around her eyes. Her hands were covered in frostbite, red and swollen. No one could imagine that she was the elegant and noble queen she once was.
Gu Momo walked to the dining table and carefully sat down next to her. The crazy woman was still engrossed in eating, as if she hadn't noticed her presence at all.
"Hello, I'm Gu Momo, do you remember me?"
If the woman before him was indeed the Queen, then she must remember him, since the Queen had been quite impressed with him when they discussed the collaboration.
The crazy woman paused for a second while eating, but soon she started stuffing food into her mouth again.
Seeing that she didn't react, Gu Momo took out a brooch from her pocket. "Your Majesty, is this the brooch you gave me when I visited Y Country? Don't you remember? You said it was your most treasured and favorite thing. I refused to accept it at the time, saying that giving a beloved item to someone who appreciates it is how to give it its greatest value."
Upon hearing this, the madwoman finally stopped eating and stared blankly into the distance, muttering repeatedly, "Give your beloved things to those who appreciate them, give your beloved things to those who appreciate them?"
"Yes, that's what you said to me back then, do you remember?" Gu Momo pressed on, seeing that she had finally reacted.
But the next second, the crazy woman knocked over the plate in front of her, and soup and rice were instantly spilled everywhere.
Gu Momo was splashed with soup, and the scalding sensation made her stand up instinctively.
Seeing this, Li Zhanting immediately ran over and shielded her behind him, asking, "How are you? Are you burned? Does it hurt?"
Gu Momo shook her head, preparing to comfort the crazy woman, when she suddenly saw her kneel down on the ground!
He clasped his hands together and rubbed them up and down repeatedly: "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to! Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I was wrong, I was wrong! Please don't kill me! It's not my fault, it's not my fault. I'll kowtow to you, yes, kowtow! Kowtow!"
As she spoke, she bent over and repeatedly banged her head against the ground. Miss Mei quickly stepped forward and pulled her away.
"Alright! Stop kowtowing! If you keep doing that, you'll lose your head!"
But the crazy woman wouldn't listen to anything and kept banging her head until a bruise appeared on her head.
"You watch over her, I'll go get some sedatives. We can't let her keep banging her head like this." After giving a few simple instructions, Miss Mei immediately ran back to her bedroom.
Gu Momo had just bent down to stop the crazy woman from kowtowing when Li Zhanting grabbed her and said, "Let her kowtow."
His voice was as cold as ice, showing no reaction to the chaos before him.
Gu Momo turned her head, a slight look of surprise flashing in her eyes, but then she seemed to remember something and did not stop Li Zhanting.
The words Li Zhanting uttered were unlike his usual style. So, the reason he was watching so coldly must be that he had noticed something and guessed that even if they let the queen continue to kowtow, she would know her limits and wouldn't risk her life.
So, Li Zhanting was actually testing the waters; the queen was faking her madness.
