"Esteemed Empress, esteemed wangfei, I was originally planning to meet you in the Dew Palace and not admit the truth, but I never thought that you would be so vicious as to throw all this dirty water on me. I have served you for so many years, and yet you say that I have no complaints. How can you be so heartless? It was clearly your order, how can you push it away completely!"

Even if the rabbit got anxious, it would still bite, let alone a mere maid.

"Stupid girl, if you dare to spout nonsense again, I'll tear your mouth apart!"

At this time, Xia Ha Xue also became anxious, she stood up and pulled on the servant girl's hair, her other hand fiercely grabbing onto the maid's mouth.

Perhaps it was the nature of a servant, but the maid did not resist and only wanted to protect her mouth.

"Stop, have you caused enough trouble?"

It was the Empress Dowager who scolded Xia Haxue harshly.

Xia Ha Xue's stupidity and impulsiveness made the Empress Dowager understand that no matter how hard she tried to help her, the mud would never be able to reach the wall.

After stopping, Xia Ha Xue saw that the empress dowager was angry, so she didn't dare be impudent anymore.

"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, and this servant will admit anything." The matter of bewitching medicine was indeed the matter of Lady Shuyi applying the medicine to the mouth of the wine jug while she was pouring wine for the emperor last night. Also, Imperial Concubine's jade hairpin was stolen by the Empress from Imperial Concubine to frame Miss Mu Jin. "Later on, esteemed wangfei …"

"Stupid girl, shut up. Say one more word, I'll kill you!"

The more the maidservant spoke, the more Xia Ha Xue panicked. She wanted to use words to threaten the maidservant, but Bai Zhan Hai coldly interrupted her.

"Continue!"

"Yes!" In the beginning, those palace maids were only looking for trouble with Miss Mu Jin. This morning, when the Empress found out that the Emperor had favored Miss Mu Jin because of the aphrodisiac, she sent me to the palace to get rid of Miss Mu Jin. The poison that was placed in Miss Mu Jin's food was also given to me by the Empress. "

As the maidservant spoke, Xia Haxue had already collapsed onto the ground.

In that moment, the entire Dew Palace became silent once more, so quiet that it was terrifying.

Bai Zhan Ke's body was emitting a chilling aura, enough to cause a person to feel a chill down their spine.

The only one who appeared happy was Mu Qiu.

"Xia Shuyi, do you have anything else to say?" Shangguan Yi looked especially disgusted at Xia Haoxue's soulless appearance.

"Muhou, the maid who poisoned Hua Mu Jin at the laundry was also caught by Nan Ge. Do you want to bring that servant up?"

Her Majesty pressed her temples, exhausted. He coldly glanced at Xia Haxue, shook his head, and said, "Since it's been investigated, then although the harem is managed by This Dowager, This Dowager is tired. Right now, Your Majesty, you can decide what to do. If you want to confer an imperial concubine, it'll be as you wish, Your Majesty. "

"No, no, Empress Dowager, chenqie is wronged. Chenqie must have scolded this damned girl before, so she wanted to frame chenqie." Empress Dowager, you have to avenge chenqie. chenqie is your cousin. "Esteemed Empress Dowager, Esteemed Empress Dowager …"

Without looking directly at Xia Ha Xue, the Empress had given up her state of mind.

"Someone, throw Xia Ha Xue into the Sky Prison and send her to the peak of the crane!" The three words' Red Crane Head 'instantly exposed Xia Ha Xue's ugly state.

"Why, why? How can I not compare to her? Why is it that from the moment she was born, she has such a beautiful face? Why is it that when she was bestowed with an imperial concubine, I was poisoned to death? I refuse to accept this, I refuse to accept this. Hua Mu Jin, you slut, even if you die, I will pull you down with me! "

With a crazed shout, Xia Ha Xue instantly rushed towards Hua Mu Jin. But just as she was about to approach, she was immediately controlled by Luo Chen.

"This one does not have a vicious cousin like you. Someone, take him away!"

The empress dowager could not bear to see Xia Ha Xue's ugly state any longer. She knew that if this carried on, even Shang Xingzhou would be implicated.

"Wait a minute, Esteemed Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, this servant has something to say. May Your Majesty grant me your grace."

Suddenly, Hua Mujie stood up and knelt on the ground.

Bai Zhan Ke frowned. "Speak!"

"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, although Xia Shuyi was indeed vicious, not only did she frame this servant and this servant, but she also drugged them." She deserves her death for her crimes, but she's still this servant's sister. Even if she says that this servant wasn't born of her father, this servant can't do anything to be heartless. I beg the emperor and the empress dowager to spare her death sentence. "

Hua Mu Jin suddenly jumped out to plead for Xia Ha Xue, this was something no one expected.

Of course, no one knew what she meant.

"How can you be so loyal? Do you really not hate her for framing you? " the Empress Dowager asked, looking at Hibiscus vulgaris in astonishment.

"In reply to the empress dowager, it's impossible to not hate her. If this servant really wasn't born of my father, then only Xia Shuyi's bloodline remains in Shang Shu Manor. To raise this servant's father, this servant pleads to the empress dowager to spare her life."

"Get up, This Dowager is willing. If that's the case, then send her to the cold palace! "

Standing up, Hua Mu Jin walked to Xia Ha Xue's side and gently smoothed her messy hair. However, Xia Ha Xue didn't appreciate her gesture and spat towards Hua Mu Jin.

"Pui, Hua Mu Jin, you slut. If it wasn't for you, how could I, Xia Ha Xue, have fallen to such a state? Who cares if you beg for mercy, you're not fit to be a bastard! "

Wiping away the saliva on her face, Hua Mu Jin gently smiled. "It doesn't matter if she's worthy or not. As an elder sister, I just want you to understand …"

She leaned close to Xia Ha Xue's ear and whispered, "What do you mean, can't live, can't die —"

With that, Hua Mujiao reached out to hug Xia Ha Xue, and then she said, "Little sister, you just stay in the cold palace. I'll find some time to visit you."

She remembered that the real flower hibiscus was killed by Xia Ha Xue. And when she died, Hua Mu Jin could truly feel the pain and despair.

That was why she could think of this act of pleading for Xia Ha Xue and then let her have a taste of the true flower, Mu Jin, that was filled with despair and pain.

"Hua Mu Jin, you vicious woman, you will die a horrible death, even if you become a ghost I won't let you off. "Let me go, I'm going to kill her …"

Even before being dragged out, Xia Ha Xue was still cursing the flower hibiscus.

"This Dowager is tired. I don't think there's anything else that needs to be done." With that, the empress dowager prepared to rise from her chaise longue and return to the hall to rest.

But at this moment, Bai Zhanke called out to her, "Imperial Mother, if your son doesn't teach his father, then I believe that Lord Shang Shu should punish him for teaching his daughter in such a way. Xia Ha Xue was ashamed of the Royal Family, and Master Shu also had responsibilities. What do you think, Imperial Mother? "

She looked at him in surprise, and in an instant she knew what he meant, and that she had fallen into his trap.

"Your subject believes that the emperor is right. Not only does the entire palace know of this matter, even the citizens have heard of it. If we do not deal with it impartially, I'm afraid the citizens will find it hard to believe."

Shangguan Yi spoke up as well.

Her hands clung to the arms of the chaise longue, and Her Majesty's face was terrifyingly dark.

After a long time, the empress dowager nodded. "Your Majesty, you're the Son of Heaven. This one doesn't participate in politics, but I ask that Your Majesty reconsider. Since His Excellency Shang Shu has worked hard for the sake of his loyalty, don't punish him too harshly."

Smiling lightly, he had achieved his goal.

"However, since we're going to punish Shang Shu Manor, as the direct daughter of Shang Shu Manor, Hua Mujiao should be punished as well. What do you think, your majesty?"

Bai Zhan Ke had already expected that this would happen to the Empress Dowager. He had previously said that she was his concubine because he wanted to provoke Xia Haxue to reveal her identity as a flower hibiscus, and Xia Haxue did not disappoint him.

"But mother, Xia Ha Xue said just now that Hibiscus vulgaris is not master Shang's biological daughter. Since she is not his biological daughter, how can we punish her together?"

"Just now, it was only the rumors of Xia Ha Xue. You can't believe it."

"Before the investigation is conducted, the Queen Mother should not make such a futile decision." "Then it's decided. Imperial Mother, rest early. I will leave first."

Bai Zhan Hai had secretly investigated Hua Mu Jin, so he knew that Hua Mu Jin wasn't Xiahou's real father. That was why he used this opportunity to topple the backing that the empress dowager was proud of and protect Hua Mu Jin.

"Your Majesty, please wait!"

As soon as she got up, Her Majesty called out to her.

"All of you can leave. This Dowager has something to say to the emperor alone."

"Chenqie will take her leave …"

"This subject will take his leave …"

After everyone had left, there were only two people left in the Dew Palace: Bai Zhan Ke and the empress dowager. The empress dowager sneered. Don't forget, your mufei's life is still in This Dowager's hands. If you dare make any rash moves again, This Dowager will cripple her! "

The empress dowager revealed an expression that was originally vicious. It wasn't surprising that Bai Zhan Ke showed such an unsightly expression.

However, she was threatening his mother, and he couldn't wait to kill her!

"You can't win against This Dowager. If you want to take her as your concubine, then don't touch the people behind This Dowager. Otherwise, this one cannot guarantee when your mufei and your beloved woman will die! "

"Her Majesty really knows how to joke. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave!"

At the same time, after they left the Dew Palace, Hua Mujiao headed towards the laundry department. However, not long after he left the Dew Palace, he was stopped.

"General Shangguan? What's the matter? "

Shangguan Yi sized up Hua Mujiao and mumbled in shock, "It's so similar, so similar …"

With a frown, Hua Mu Jin was slightly displeased.

"Like what? "Get out of the way, I don't have time to play with you!"

Hua Mujiao was extremely disgusted with the matter of being bestowed with an imperial concubine, so she was currently in an extremely bad mood.

She pushed Shangguan Yi aside, preparing to leave. Shangguan Yi grabbed him by the shoulder as soon as he took a step forward.

"Flower Hibiscus, wait …"

Suddenly, Hua Mu Jin instinctively wanted to throw Shangguan Yi over her shoulder, but she found that she couldn't pull this man who looked weak and delicate like a pretty boy.

Helplessly, she turned around and asked, "What are you trying to do? Don't you know that good dogs don't block roads? "

Smiling lightly, Shangguan Yi didn't get angry even though she was scolded. Instead, she said softly, "I didn't mean to block your way, it's just that there's a portrait in my house, you seem to have walked out from that portrait."
