Bai Lan saw that Leng Qiyue was about to reveal his identity, so she quickly gave her a meaningful glance. "Although I'm a small official, I'm still very proud to have the same surname and surname as a great hero."

Mu Zixin shook his head in disdain, "You? Come on, you won't be able to enter my eyes in this lifetime. "

Bai Lan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry as she said, "Alright, this is the Imperial Palace. Don't keep your mouth shut. I have to leave first, take care of yourself." With that, he stood up and bowed to Leng Qiyue. This humble subject will take his leave. "

After Bai Lan left, Leng Qiyue asked, "What agreement do you have with Bai Lan?"

However, Mu Zixin shook his head and said, "I can't say, the Empress won't punish me for my crimes, right?"

Seeing that she was unwilling to say anything, Leng Qiyue did not force him. She smiled and said, "It can't be, what did you want to say just now?"

Mu Zixin said, "Empress, I've seen that type of stone before!"

When Leng Qiyue heard this, she immediately perked up and asked, "Really? Do you have that stone in your hand? "

Mu Zixin shook his head and said, "No. When I was travelling with Master, I passed by a strange mountain. The mountain looked like it was cut by a knife. It was lush and verdant on one side, and flat on the other. There were many of these strange stones on the flat surface of the mountain. Due to the lack of local traffic, these stones were rarely left the mountain.

A mountain with a section like that? That should be a fault, because the earthquake was compressed into a mountain on one side and sank into the ground on the other. If that was the case, the entire mountain would be filled with coal, and the output would be quite high.

"Zi Xin, can you still find that place?" Leng Qiyue asked.

Mu Zixin patted his chest and said, "I can. It's not that I'm bragging, but I've traveled a lot of roads. I remember every single one of them clearly."

Leng Qiyue's eyes lit up. "Really?" "How far is that from the capital?"

Mu Zixin said, "It's not far. We'll reach Black Stone Mountain in just a few days."

Leng Qiyue's enthusiasm was extinguished by these words. She asked, "More than ten days? Then we'll have to use cars for at least a month! "

Mu Zixin replied, "It won't even take a month. It's only been 20 days since the carriage arrived at the capital."

Leng Qiyue truly felt that this girl was a bit of a tease. How much difference was twenty days compared to a month? At least she knew that there was coal in the world.

Mu Zixin saw Leng Qiyue's expression darken, and asked, "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong? "

Leng Qiyue replied, "No, I was just thinking about a problem."

"Aiya, what cute dolls." When Mu Zixin saw Princess Changle pull Nian Jun out of the arena, he immediately rushed over to her. In the end, Princess Changle and Mu Zixin, who came to accompany Leng Qiyue, were all mesmerized by the kingly beauty and threw Leng Qiyue to the side.

Leng Qiyue let out a long sigh. Her son was still so young, yet he could still attract the attention of girls. Then what would happen when he grew up? Fortunately, this was ancient times and the girls were reserved. If this was modern times, they would not have become female killers!

Leng Qiyue felt bored and wanted to go out for a walk, but she found herself in the imperial garden's peony garden. There were peonies in bloom all year round, because there were varieties that were not afraid of the cold. It would be great if they could bring them back.

When she saw the beautiful opening of a black peony, she took it off and put it on. Before she had taken a few steps, she heard someone shout, "Stop."

Leng Qiyue turned her head and saw the empress dowager standing there with her two concubines.

Unwilling to give up, she walked over and bowed. "Chenqie greets Esteemed Empress Dowager, esteemed empress dowager's blessings."

When the empress dowager saw Leng Qiyue's bun, her expression changed drastically. She stepped forward and sent a slap flying out. Leng Qiyue's face immediately turned red and swollen from the blow.

Die Fei and Lin Fei were also surprised, but they covered their mouths and snickered.

Her Majesty berated him. "The golden thread peony on your head is the favorite of the late emperor, who once ordered that anyone who harmed the golden thread peony would be caned eighty times for it. "Men, carry out the execution."

Leng Qiyue frowned, her face turning black. She was unwilling to submit to him. If he were to take eighty slates, would he still be alive?

The eunuchs holding the staff walked forward, staring at each other, while the other eunuchs did not dare to approach either.

The empress dowager scoffed. "How dare you, you servant, resist the imperial decree?"

The eunuchs hesitated for a moment, but then two of them stepped forward and grabbed Leng Qiyue's arm, one on each side. Leng Qiyue pushed herself off the ground with the tip of her foot, causing the two eunuchs to miss her.

"How dare you?! How dare you disobey the decree?!" When the empress dowager saw that Leng Qiyue was avoiding her, she immediately pulled back her face.

Even though she knew that the empress dowager was a fake and that the emperor didn't like her, she knew even more that she couldn't beat her at the moment. The emperor didn't dare to touch her, so this time, he had to think of a foolproof plan.

"Dog slave, what are you waiting for? give This Dowager a good beating. " Her Majesty finally went berserk.

"Stop!" Dongfang Haotian was like a god that had descended; he had arrived just in time.

The empress dowager's expression softened slightly. "Your majesty, Imperial Concubine Leng is too impudent. She actually damaged the Golden Thread Peony that the late emperor was fond of. This Dowager only followed the rules and taught her a lesson. "

Dongfang Haotian coldly said, "Since the late emperor passed away, then the matter of the golden line peony will not be decided. Unless the empress dowager thinks that I can't compare to the late emperor, and that he can bring the late emperor's soul back to govern the imperial court? "

The empress dowager was left speechless by the retort. She glanced at Lin Fei, who had committed a crime now after all. It was better if she didn't provoke Dongfang Haotian. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to clean up the mess herself if he pursued the matter.

"That's enough, she doesn't know about this either. The so-called ignorant can't be blamed. Forget it, I'm returning to the palace." With that, the empress dowager pulled Lin Fei away.

Dongfang Haotian rubbed Leng Qiyue's cheek with a heartache. He said somewhat reproachfully, "Look at you. You're not staying in the palace properly, and you're also causing trouble."

Leng Qiyue glared at him and said, "Isn't it just a broken flower?"

Dongfang Haotian frowned and said: "Okay, okay. I still have a lot of things to do. You can go back first."

Leng Qiyue harrumphed, flicked her sleeve, and left. The eunuchs following the emperor all frowned, feeling that the emperor was overly pampering his imperial concubine.

When Leng Qiyue returned to the Moon Flower Palace, Han Liu's expression was even uglier than when she returned. She then asked, "Why are you unhappy when you went out to relax?"

"The empress dowager beat me up, and the emperor is still blaming me," Leng Qiyue replied.

Han Liu also saw the golden peony on her head and said, "The golden peony was Emperor Xian's favorite flower. He once likened her to a former queen. Now that you've broken it, the empress dowager will definitely be angry, thinking that you want to be the empress. "

Leng Qiyue raised her head to look at Han Liu and said, "So there was such a thing. If I break a flower, I can become an empress. Isn't that a huge joke?" However … Han Liu, tell me, if I really become the empress, will I be able to infuriate the empress dowager to death? "
