Bai Qin suddenly said, "Miss, quickly look, what is this?"

Following the direction of Bai Qin's finger, Hua Yuan saw an extremely small amount of white powder. These things could easily be overlooked if one wasn't paying attention. Hua Yuan's expression turned ugly!

He wouldn't be able to soak in the Peach Blossom Dew today.

Only, Hua Yuan had already promised at the empress dowager's place, so she really didn't know what to do. Or should he brew a cup of tea? In her previous life, she didn't have any methods of fighting outside the country, so she was still very weak in matters like these.

Just like now, Hua Yuan did not have any leads. However, he had to find the culprit that had harmed him.

However, Jiu'er spoke up on the spot. "Miss, apart from this servant and Big Sister Bai Qin, only the maids sent by the empress dowager have access to these things." "Are you going to tell Esteemed Empress Dowager about this?"

Hua Yuan immediately understood that there was no one else she could rely on in the palace other than the empress dowager.

Even though she knew that someone wanted to harm her, she didn't know who. Even if she knew who did it, she still had to rely on the empress dowager!

Hua Yuan suddenly remembered, back in the old lady's courtyard in the Hua Manor, Kowloon had also called his mother over. The people who served them were not bad.

She could see that she was serious.

Hua Yuan praised him, "As expected of the bottle, his mind is full of life. It's really not bad." Right now, I'm in the palace, so the only person I can rely on is Esteemed Empress Dowager? You really can't keep things like this from Esteemed Empress Dowager. "

She knew that the Empress was very pleased with her. He had said the wrong thing at the dinner table. If he had really been pretending to hide it, perhaps he really would have lost the empress dowager's heart.

Thinking of this, Hua Yuan did not prepare anything.

When she appeared empty-handed at the Empress Dowager's side, she looked around and discovered that there was nothing there. Hua Yuan also saw that the Empress Dowager did not send anyone to serve tea and felt that her hands were empty.

He looked at the palace maid by the empress dowager's side and said, "Elder sister Mei Xiang, if not, it'd be best for elder sister to make Esteemed Empress Dowager a pot of her usual tea."

Mei Xiang glanced at the empress dowager and, seeing her nod her head lightly, she also happily left the room.

The empress dowager waved a hand at Hua Yuan. "Come here, come to This Dowager's place."

Hua Yuan walked over, feeling somewhat wronged, and sat beside the empress dowager. The empress dowager smiled. "Look at this little mouth, even those who are pouting can hang oil pots. I was so wronged that I didn't even manage to get my Peach Blossom Dew. "

Hua Yuan said, "It's not that Iris doesn't want to give it to you, it's just that — it's that someone has moved something that Iris has brought. Iris is worried that there might be something bad in it, so she doesn't dare to bring it for you to taste."

The empress dowager's expression changed. "What happened?"

Although they were looking at Hua Yuan, Bai Qin and Peng'er knew that he was asking them about it.

Bai Qin immediately knelt down and told him everything that had happened.

The empress dowager's expression turned worse and worse. When she saw that Hua Yuan was on the verge of tears, she said, "All right, you've truly wronged my Iris."

Her Majesty was not favoured when the late Emperor was around. If one were to speak of the reason, it was simply because someone had plotted against her by bribing the palace maids that were serving her. They plotted against her, causing her to lose her sacred heart forever.

Therefore, it had to be said that the empress dowager was the one who hated scheming and scheming!

Not to mention, there were no loyal palace maids who liked to stir up trouble. If they found one, they would execute it! How could anyone who could walk from the palace concubine to the empress dowager be soft-hearted? However, to the empress dowager, she was better at scheming. Even though people knew it was a trap, she still had no choice but to jump in!

Hua Yuan stared at the empress dowager's expression. She was clearly angry to the point of being ruthless!

"Investigate thoroughly for This Dowager! This Dowager wants to see who was so bold as to stick his hand into This Dowager's Palace of Tzu Ning! "

A moment later, Mei Xiang brought in some tea water as well. She saw that the empress dowager's expression wasn't very good, but she didn't ask any questions out of curiosity. He placed the tea next to Her Majesty and waited for her to use it, then waited on her to pass it to Her Majesty.

The empress dowager called out to Hua Yuan to sit down. Soon, it was time for the empress to bring the imperial concubine over to pay her respects. Hua Yuan wanted to avoid her, but the empress dowager said, "There's no need."

In this palace, there was no one other than a few people who had ideas about Hua Yuan. The crown prince was now wholeheartedly thinking of Hua Yuan as his consort. If there was nothing to do with the empress dowager, the empress dowager wouldn't believe it, no matter how hard she tried!

The reason why she kept Hua Yuan here was to show her respect for her. If anyone were to continue courting death, don't blame her!

It was probably due to him cultivating physically and mentally for the past few years that he had forgotten his original personality!

Hua Yuan nodded and agreed.

The empress dowager narrowed her eyes, feeling even more disappointed in the crown prince. In the past, it seemed pretty good. However, in this one to two years, it had become increasingly perverted and unruly.

He knew that his current situation wasn't too good, so it wouldn't be much of a problem if he wanted to restore his current situation. However, this method was truly unworthy of respect! The style of this women's house in the backyard, when used on such a big matter, was obviously a bit petty; it was difficult to wait for the Hall of Elysium! In the Empress Dowager's opinion, she still clearly preferred the fair and square person who resorted to schemes.

Not long after, there was a commotion from outside. Hua Yuan looked over and saw that it was the empress and her imperial concubines.

The empress was dressed in a crimson purple palace attire, looking elegant and generous beneath it! The empress was clearly a delicate and pretty woman, but perhaps it was because she had been in such a high position for so long that she gave off a domineering aura! It was so eye-catching that no one could pry their eyes away from it.

She looked at the empress dowager, but retracted some of her bearing. "Wife pays respects to the empress dowager. The empress dowager is blessed to have peace."

The empress gave a curtsey, and the crowd behind her naturally followed suit.

Hua Yuan couldn't help but feel heat in her heart when she looked at her display of power.

At this moment, she was sitting next to the Empress Dowager, feeling the sensation of having her power at its peak at such a close distance. The feeling of being in a high place and being in control of the world was really easy to get lost in!

The empress was the mother of the world, but didn't they still have to pay respects in front of the empress dowager? No wonder the harem women were all trying their best to get their own son to ascend to the throne, making themselves the most respected woman in the world.

As long as he had a taste of power, he would probably never be able to give up, right?

Following that, the empress dowager's indifferent voice could be heard. "Exemption from the formalities, get up."

After the empress dowager finished speaking, the imperial concubines dispersed. Naturally, high ranking concubines had seats. However, the seating arrangement can also show the extent to which you are pampered in the harem. But no matter what, the empress always sat at the front.

Hua Yuan stared at the beautiful ladies with a smile on her face. She could only imagine the many schemes they had to contend with behind their backs, living her days in the midst of falsehood and scheming. Just thinking about it made her feel that such a life was unacceptable.

Then the queen said, "Mother has Iris by her side. She probably doesn't like us anymore. "Look at the happy smile on the mother's face. There has never been a time when she was looking at us."

"That's right. You really aren't afraid of being laughed at by others. This humble concubine is already extremely jealous of you!"

The empress dowager had a cold smile on her face as she sipped on her tea and watched silently.

These people had truly practiced their ability to lie with their eyes open!

Which eye could tell that the empress dowager was in high spirits?
