"Who are you? Why are you blocking my way? "

The maidservant asked in fear as she looked at the man in front of her.

The man smiled coldly. Not only did he not reply, he directly knocked out the maidservant and carried her away.

At the same time, within the Dew Palace.

"Senior Qin, have you investigated all the rumours?"

On the imperial concubine's chair, the empress dowager was reclining leisurely with the eunuchs massaging her while Senior Servant Qin stood by her side.

"In reply to the empress dowager, I've already made inquiries."

Hearing this, the empress dowager withdrew her leg and waved her hand towards the massaging eunuchs, hinting them to leave.

When only the empress dowager and Qin mama were left in the palace, the empress dowager tilted her head and asked, "What happened?"

Senior Servant Qin bowed respectfully and answered unambiguously, "It's said that the emperor disappeared yesterday night after leaving the Dew Palace. The emperor's people searched for him for an entire night in the laundry room, and the emperor also favored a palace maid in the laundry. That palace maid is the pretty girl you demoted to before, Hua Mu Jin."

"It's her again? "However, the Emperor didn't go to court early today. This isn't his style, and the Emperor didn't seem to be drunk last night. Send someone to investigate."

The empress dowager especially didn't want to hear the name of Hibiscus vulgaris.

After a moment of thought, he instructed Qin mama, "Also, send someone to ask Yu'er if this woman is available. If she isn't, I won't have to keep her any longer."

"Yes sir!"

Elsewhere, in the royal study.

"Mistress, your subordinate has already tortured Xia Shuyi's servant girl and she has confessed everything. Reject her, and tell her that there's still more of the bewitching medicine Zhaohe Palace that Xia Shuyi sent to master, do you want your subordinate to send someone to search it? "

Looking up, Bai Zhan Ke's body was emitting a chilling aura.

"Not for now. Does the empress dowager have any intention of passing on the flower, hibiscus? "

Hearing this, Luo Chen shook his head.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, Luo Chen reported, "Mistress, before I captured Xia Shuyi's maidservant, I saw her maidservant come into contact with a servant from the laundry department. It seems like she wanted to bribe that servant to harm Miss Hua.

Bai Zhan Ke continued to look at the memorial on the table and said, "Nan Ge from the laundry department will handle this. Send someone to keep an eye on the Dew Palace. If anything happens, report it immediately!"

"Yes sir!"

In the afternoon, Hibiscus vulgaris was locked in the house to the point of boredom.

Nan Ge had originally wanted to sneak out and flee the palace, but just as he did so, he was caught by him.

"Gulp …"

Just as she was thinking of other ways to escape, her stomach growled.

He stood up, walked to the door and opened it. He looked around at the guards, and just as he took a step over the threshold, he was stopped by the guards using their sabers.

Giving the two guards an angry look, Hua Mu Jin loudly said: "It's already noon, are you guys trying to starve me to death? You don't even allow us to eat? "

"Miss Jin, the Commander has an order, you're not allowed to leave this room."

One of the guards spoke with an indifferent tone.

Hua Mu Jin placed her hands on the door, and was enraged, "If you don't want to give it away, you should at least give it a stutter, right? Didn't you hear how my stomach growled? "

No matter how many times Hua Mujiao said it, the two guards never answered her again. They were like two statues of Buddha, motionless.

"Damn it, do you believe me …"

"Milords, the Lord Commander wants me to bring some food to Miss Hua."

Hua Mujiao was just about to threaten the guard when she saw a servant coming towards them with a box in her hand. Seeing her speak to the guard, Hua Mujiao slightly frowned.

She had a vague impression of the maid. It was from the laundry department. However, she was usually very cold and cold to everyone. This was the first time she saw her smile, especially to a guard.

Suddenly, she remembered Mu Qiu's reminder. The corner of her mouth slightly raised.

The two guards looked at each other, and one of them went up to check the food box. When he didn't find anything wrong with it, he took the box and handed it to Hua Mujiao.

"I've delivered the items, hurry up and leave."

Seeing that the court lady did not intend to leave, the guard reminded her coldly.

The maid pursed her lips and said with a smile, "Um, big brother guard, I still need to bring back the food box. I will wait outside and I will not hinder you in any way. "

Seeing this, the guard glanced at the court lady but did not say anything.

After returning to the house, Hibiscus vulgaris opened the box, and a burst of fragrance assaulted her senses, causing her stomach to grow even hungrier.

A moment later, a noise suddenly came from inside the room. The two guards rushed in, only to see a somewhat pale Hibiscus Mutabilis lying on the ground with a pile of food on the floor.

"There's poison in the food. Catch that maid."

Outside the door, the court lady frowned. She had obviously administered a chronic poison, so how could she have been poisoned the moment she ate it?

Suddenly, he realized something was wrong. He turned around and tried to escape.

However, just as she turned around, she was grabbed by the neck and lifted off the ground by the toes.

"Want to run?" "None at all!"

Inside the house, the guards that were about to grab the palace maid were both knocked down by Hua Mujie. It turned out that she was planning to use this trick to escape.

However, just as she knocked the two guards unconscious and stepped out of the room, a figure appeared in front of her, causing her to smile awkwardly.

"Miss Jin, where are you going?"

"Hehe, um, I, I'm in a hurry. I want to go to convenience …"

Nango shook his head helplessly at Hua Mu Jin's lame lie. He called for the palace maid to hand it over to the guard who had just arrived. He stepped forward and asked softly, "Is Miss Jin hungry?"

In an instant, Hibiscus fragrans nodded its head very quickly.

"Mm, mm, mm …"

Stretching his head out to look inside the house, he saw the unconscious guards lying on the floor.

"Why did my two guards …"

After interrupting Nan Ge, Hua Mu Jin said seriously: "They might have hit their heads, and fainted. Get someone to take him out quickly and take a look, so that he doesn't cause any concussion. "

"A concussion?"

Nan Ge didn't understand the word 'concussion' at all. Hua Mujiao did not plan to explain. She lightly laughed and said, "Nan Ge, get someone to help me get some food. I'm so hungry that my chest is sticking to my back."

Shaking his head helplessly, Nan Ge once again looked at the dishes scattered on the ground and asked softly, "You haven't eaten the things in the box, right?"

Shrugging her shoulders, Hua Mu Jin said in a very confident manner.

"I'm not that stupid. The palace maid said that you ordered her to deliver the food here. Just from the way she called her 'Miss Hua', I knew that there was something wrong with her. After all, you have always called me Miss Jin. "

"…"

Nan Ge was speechless. He waved to the guards behind him and said, "This subordinate will go prepare something for you to eat first."

With that, the two guards who had been knocked unconscious were carried out. Nan Ge did not stay any longer and turned to leave.

In front of Hua Mujiao's door, there were two more guards.

Actually, it wasn't just because the palace maid said 'Miss Hua' that made Hua Mu Jin suspicious. Mu Qiu had reminded her to remember this in her heart. She also knew that Nan Ge was the commander of the guards, so even if he ordered someone to send food over, the pearl that he sent to her was the most suitable candidate.

After that, the person who brought her food was truly a pearl.

"Miss, you must be worried about this servant. I thought I would never see you again." As she put the food on the table, tears welled up in her eyes as she spoke.

"What are you crying for? It's not like I'm dead. Isn't this fine?" At the same time as she comforted the pearl, Hua Mujiao picked up the chopsticks and began to wolf it down, beginning to eat without any respect for her image.

Seeing her eating appearance, Pearl stopped crying and turned tears into smiles.

"Miss, take your time and eat. Don't choke." As she spoke, Pearl poured a cup of tea for Hibiscus vulgaris and set it aside.

Ye Zichen picked up the water glass, and just after Hibiscus Blossom took two sips, Pearl opened her mouth again. "Miss, they all say that you've been favored by the emperor. After that, will you become his concubine?"

"Puff …" "Cough …"

Pearl's words made Hua Mujiao spit out the water in her mouth.

Coughing lightly, she frowned at Pearl and said unhappily, "What nonsense are you spouting, I don't intend to be trapped in that golden silk cage. Whatever others say, let them be the ones to say it. "

As for being a harem woman, Hibiscus vulgaris was very sensitive and very rejecting.

Seeing that Hibiscus Flower was angry, Pearl felt wronged and shut her mouth.

In the evening, the empress dowager finally sent someone to pass on the flower hibiscus.

"Sir Nan, this servant is here on the orders of the empress dowager to summon Miss Hua. I hope Sir Nan can help."

In front of Nan Ge, the empress dowager's personal eunuch was still very respectful towards him.

He looked at the eunuch coldly. Upon confirming the eunuch's identity, Nan Ge moved away. At the same time, he ordered the guards to retreat.

The door opened and Hibiscus Flower sat at the table, smiling. She had expected the empress dowager to call her, but she had not expected to be here so late.

"Miss Hua, please come with this servant!"

"Of course, I'm just waiting for you, eunuch."

She stood up and followed the eunuch towards the Dew Palace.

Inside the Dew Palace, the empress dowager sat on a phoenix chair with the air of a mother to the world. She looked at the flower tree hibiscus kneeling on the ground, her eyes cold and without any warmth.

"Hua Mujiao, yesterday the emperor favored you at the laundry department. Were you trying to seduce the emperor on purpose?"

The empress dowager's question had obviously set a trap for Hua Mujie.

"Reporting to the empress dowager, this servant had gotten up last night and wanted to go to the latrine, but was immediately caught outside. Originally, this servant had tried her best to resist, but her strength was inferior to someone else's, and in the end she was violated. From beginning to end, due to the fact that the sky was too dark, this servant thought that the guard was inferior to that vulgar beast. It was only this morning that this servant found out that the person who violated this servant's rights was the Emperor …! "

As she spoke, Hua Mu Jin covered her face and started to sob softly.

Her words also indirectly insulted Bai Zhan Ke.

"Impudent!" "How dare you insult the Emperor? Men, come and slap This Dowager's face!"

With just a guess, Hua Mu Jin knew that this was the result, but she pretended to cry as she explained. She didn't feel any worry or fear at all in her heart.

"Esteemed empress dowager, this servant really didn't know that the person who violated this servant was the emperor. May the empress dowager have a clear look?" Your servant's life's innocence has been ruined just like that. Your servant, your servant, your servant simply won't live anymore, lest it get in your way, empress dowager's eyes. "

With that, Hua Mujiao suddenly stood up, and without anyone noticing, the corner of her mouth raised into a sly smile. Then, he ran towards a pillar by the door …
