Although Hua Mujiao's words were very tactful, everyone could tell that she was saying that this jade hairpin wasn't worth much. Since it wasn't worth much, then why did she need to hide it?

"How dare you!"

After Hua Mujiao finished speaking, the empress dowager suddenly slapped the armrest of her imperial concubine's chair, sternly berating her.

"Regardless of whether or not this jade hairpin is expensive, it is still a gift from the Emperor. How can you allow yourself to slander it like this?" Someone, drag her out and beat the crap out of her! "

Hua Mujiao had already told her the truth, but the empress dowager never intended to reason with her. It made her feel as if she was being targeted.

However, she couldn't accept it at all.

"Majesty, what this subject says is the truth. Jade hairpins were very precious to the imperial concubine, but they weren't worth much, so what was the use of keeping them for herself? Even if it was bestowed to the imperial concubine by the emperor, if this subject took it out to sell as a secret, using the emperor's gift as a gimmick, who would believe the words of this subject? Furthermore, this subject is entering the palace as an elegant lady. Whether or not I can come out of the palace is a question. Why would I take the risk and hide it in my own room for others to find? "

Hua Mujiao raised her eyes and spoke each word with determination, making the empress dowager glare as she looked her up and down.

He raised his hand, indicating for the eunuch who had just entered to step back, and then asked.

"Your words aren't unreasonable. Can you prove with evidence that you didn't hide this jade hairpin?" If you can take it out, I will not pursue the matter. "

Hearing these words, Hua Mu Jin was a bit troubled.

Mu Qiu had just proven that she was completely negated. She couldn't come up with any other evidence, so it was clear that he was trying to make things difficult for her.

"This subject may not be able to produce any evidence, but if the empress dowager gives this subject some time, this subject will definitely find out who framed her!"

Sneering, winking.

"Since you obtained both the loot and the loot, why should I give you some time? "Someone, drag him out and beat the crap out of him!"

The empress dowager wanted to strike a deep blow to her heart, and Hua Mujie knew that no matter how much she said, it would be useless. It seemed like she was going to get hurt for sure.

The eunuch stepped forward and forcefully pulled Mu Jin's arms out.

"Let go! I can walk. "

Suddenly, Hua Mu Jin stood up, shaking off the eunuch's hand. She glanced coldly at Xia Ha Xue, then looked at the empress dowager and spoke out her unwillingness.

"Esteemed Empress Dowager, since you've already decided that I was the one who secretly stored this jade hairpin, then I have nothing to say." However, this matter won't just end like this. If I find out who framed who, then I'll have to trouble the empress dowager to return my innocence. I think the empress dowager has given clear rewards and punishments to such a venomous person. She definitely wouldn't allow such a venomous person to wreak havoc in the harem! "

After she finished speaking, Hua Mujiao held her head high and walked out of the pavilion with big strides.

Her words touched Mu Qiu's heart. His eyes were moist, but he couldn't do anything about it.

"You have some backbone. However, you should talk about it after you survive!"

Behind her, the Empress Dowager's voice was filled with disgust.

Outside the attic, as if it had been arranged, were boards and benches.

Looking at the bench, Hua Mujiao closed her eyes and let out a deep breath. Her previous momentum had clearly weakened a lot, but deep down, she was still afraid of these 50 boards.

"Young master, please sit!"

Seeing the eunuch 'invite', Hua Mu Jin swallowed her saliva and shouted, "Come on, who's afraid of who's the grandson!"

Lying flat on the bench, Hibiscus had her eyes closed and her teeth clenched. The eunuch raised the wooden board and was about to swing it down, but was suddenly stopped by Hua Mujiao's words.

"Wait …!"

Tilting her head, Hua Mujiao stared at that long and heavy wooden board, her eyes filled with fear. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "That, Eunuch, can you help me find a slightly thicker piece of fabric?"

The eunuch immediately revealed a difficult expression. "Young lord, your servant …"

Seeing that the eunuch was in a difficult situation, Hua Mu Jin said impatiently, "Forget it, forget it. Just wait and fight. Let me prepare first."

After saying that, Hua Mujie looked around, then looked at her dress and instantly sat up on the bench.

"Rip …"
