C55

This was the decision that Hibiscus vulgaris had made after she had carefully considered it after Bai Linyu's departure.

Since the zither was the origin of her transmigration, as long as she obtained it, no matter where she went, it was still possible for her to wear it back. Of course, the Imperial Palace was no exception.

"If you don't leave, how am I supposed to sleep?" After giving her a white eye, Hua Mujiao asked helplessly.

No matter who it is, if someone is watching you while you're sleeping, I'm afraid they won't be able to sleep, right?

As for the flower hibiscus, she didn't have the habit of being watched sleeping.

"Alright, then I'll leave first. You rest early."

Smiling helplessly, Bai Zhan dotingly ruffled her hair, then got up and left.

When the door was closed, Hua Mu Jin's face showed some disappointment. She didn't know why she was being spoiled by the king. At least she didn't think he loved her. Perhaps, it was related to the 'Xi Er' that he spoke of.

And she was probably just a substitute …

The next day, in the morning.

Outside the side room, Pearl had long since stood up to serve Hibiscus Flower, but she couldn't bear to disturb Hibiscus Flower. She paced back and forth outside the room for a long time, but still didn't knock on the door.

When he returned to the room with the court lady, most of the court lady had already finished washing up. When she saw that the bedding, bedsheets and other items had all been thrown to the ground, Pearl's eyes were filled with grievance.

"Hey Pearl, even if you woke up early, you should at least tidy up your own bed. You're throwing your bed all over the place, aren't you afraid of getting in the way?"

The palace maid's arm, which had been broken by Hibiscus vulgaris, was still hanging, but when she saw the pearl enter the room, her sarcasm could barely reach her ears.

Enduring her anger and full of grievance, Pearl stepped forward and ignored the court lady. She began to pick up the bedclothes and personal belongings that had been thrown on the ground.

Noticing that Pearl was ignoring him, the court lady's face fell.

He stepped forward, stepping on the hand that was collecting the pearls and didn't forget to wiggle left and right to exert strength.

"Ah, what are you doing …"

Pearl cried out in pain. She wanted to move the woman's foot away, but she was trampled by the woman. As the woman's foot grew stronger, her hand hurt even more.

"Yo, you know? "You pretended to be deaf and dumb when I spoke to you just now, why aren't you pretending anymore?"

The pain made Pearl's eyes brighten with tears. She bit her lips and choked on her sobs as she asked, "I didn't offend you, so why are you always going against me?"

Hearing that, the court lady sneered, her haughty attitude was like looking at an ant, as she possessed her body and said, "Who told you to be so close to Hua Mu Jin? I don't dare to touch her, but don't I dare to touch you? "

"You …"

"Enough! Are you done yet! " Suddenly, a palace maid who could not stand watching any longer came forward and pushed the one who was stepping on the pearl hand away.

The palace maid was new yesterday. Her name was Green Bamboo. At first she couldn't wash, and Pearl had washed most of it for her. Since she slept next to the pearl on the bed of Hibiscus vulgaris, their relationship naturally grew closer.

Green Bamboo said angrily, "You obviously left her things on the ground. It's fine if you don't blame her for not tidying up, but why are you going too far?"

Unexpectedly, someone would push her away, causing her to stagger backwards and crash into the side of the bed.

"Aiyo …"

With a miserable scream, the palace maid held onto her waist and stood up. She angrily looked at the green bamboo that was pushing her pearl away, wishing that she could eat her whole. She cursed loudly, "Newcomer, you actually dared to push me. Are you courting death?"

Glancing angrily at the maid, Green Bamboo ignored her and helped Pearl collect all the items on the ground.

Seeing that the bamboo didn't seem to care about her, the Palace Mistress became even more furious.

"Stinking girl, if I don't teach you a lesson, do you really think this laundry room has no rules?! "All of you, attack! Unload those hands of hers that dare to push me!"

It was unknown if he was afraid of the palace maids or if they were bribed, but when the other maids heard the sound, they went up and bared their fangs and brandished their claws as they began to teach the green bamboo a lesson.

Even though Green Bamboo was not afraid, she could not fight against so many people. Even if she resisted, she was still pushed to the ground. Her combed hair was also messed up. Lying on the ground, Green Bamboo tried its best to protect its head from being injured by the kick …

"Stop, don't hit, I beg you, don't hit …"

Seeing this, Pearl also wanted to help pull the maid away, but her strength was weak. One of the servant turned around and slapped Pearl in the face. At the same time, another servant grabbed Pearl's hair and pulled her to the ground.

"Hmph, you dare to be arrogant with me? Why don't you take a look at yourself! "

Looking at Pearl and Green Bamboo who had been beaten to the point of being unable to retaliate, the palace maid stood off to the side, extremely pleased with herself.

When the green bamboo saw that the pearl had also been dragged to its side, out of instinct or something, it flipped over and covered the pearl under its body.

"Stop!"

At this moment, Hua Mujiao suddenly appeared at the door of the room. Looking at the green bamboo and pearls that had been struck on the ground, her anger was scorching!

The instant they saw the hibiscus flower, the people of the palace instantly stopped their attacks and revealed expressions of condescension.

Running up, Hua Mu Jin pulled up the pearl and the green bamboo. Looking at the two's tousled hair and kicked faces, she became even angrier.

He turned his head abruptly and glared at the court lady who was standing beside the bed watching the show with eyes as cold as ice.

"Pearl, why did they hit you?"

"Miss, I, I, uh …" Pearl wanted to say something, but the grievance in her heart, seeing that Hua Mujiao could not hold it in, burst into tears.

"It's her. She threw all of the pearls' items on the ground. The pearls went to pick them up by themselves and even stepped on the pearls' hands. She was the one who made these women beat us up."

Seeing Pearl start to cry, Green Bamboo was filled with rage as he explained to her.

"Is that true?"

Mu Jin asked again as she rearranged her pearl hair. Seeing Pearl nod, he clenched his hand into a fist.

"Miss, they … they've gone too far. Green Bamboo helped me, and they even beat Green Bamboo together …"

Withdrawing her hand from Pearl's hair, Hua Mujiao stepped forward, her body emitting enough cold air to make people shiver. At the same time, she slightly exerted her strength, causing her knuckles to crack.

Seeing Hua Mujiao coming forward, the court lady was so scared that her body trembled, and she took a step back.

"Hua Mujiao, you, what are you doing?" I'm warning you, if you dare make another move against me, I will definitely not let you go! " Perhaps it was because she was truly afraid of the flower, hibiscus, or even because the palace maids lacked confidence that their voices could be heard trembling.

"Hmph, someone like you, I shouldn't have only crippled your hand back then!" "Those who dare to touch me, I will turn you into a cripple by stepping on my horse!"

With that, Hua Mujiao raised her hand towards the court lady, but just as she was about to slap her, the steward called out to her.

"What are you doing? You don't need to work anymore? "

The appearance of the mama made the court lady extremely happy. After circling the Hibiscus Blossom, she ran to behind the mama to sue her. "Did you see that, mama? She hit people at the laundry, she completely doesn't put you in her eyes."

"Momo, it was obviously them who made the first move!" Green Bamboo angrily retorted.

The steward was not blind. Upon seeing the pearls and the green bamboo, she was able to guess what had happened.

I shot a cold glance at the court lady beside me. I could tell that this mama didn't like her, but in order to make things less serious, I said, "Hua Mu Jin, for my sake, let's forget about this matter! "All of you should hurry up and pack up. There's still a lot of work to be done outside!"

With that, the mama in charge turned to leave.

Suddenly, Hua Mu Jin sneered and shouted, "All of you, stand on your horses!"

With a furious roar, all of the palace maids were intimidated by Hua Mujiao's shout and stood on the spot.

Laughing softly, Hua Mu Jin stepped forward and moved her lips, "Momo, this matter really can't be resolved today." Not to mention that I won't give you face, even if the emperor comes here, I will cripple this person today! "

"Flower Hibiscus, don't give me face …" The maid was about to open her mouth and curse angrily, but she was stopped by the Senior Servant Gui's gaze.

Raising her eyes to look at Hua Mujiao, the supervisor's face darkened and said, "Hua Mujiao, although you have some status and background, as long as you stay in the laundry room for one day, you will become a lowly palace maid. You have even less right to make a move on anyone!"

"Are you qualified? "Fine, I want to see if I have the qualifications to cripple her today!"

As she spoke, Hua Mujiao stepped forward, preparing to make another move against the palace maid. However, the palace maid hid behind the mama, afraid of hurting her, so Hua Mujiao didn't know where to start.

Suddenly, at this moment, a sharp voice sounded.

"The imperial edict has arrived!"

These three words stunned everyone.

He swept a cold glance over all the court ladies. The eunuch stepped forward and stood respectfully in front of Hua Mujiao. He smiled and said, "Young Miss Hua, Your Majesty's imperial edict. Please accept it."

"I'm listening, go ahead!"

Seeing that Hua Mujiao did not intend to kneel down and receive the decree, the eunuch looked slightly embarrassed. However, when he recalled the emperor's orders before he came over, he could only nod his head and sweep his eyes over all the other palace maids. When he saw them kneeling down, he unhurriedly spread out the imperial edict and began to read it.

"I am under the blessing of the Heavens, summoned by the Emperor. We have now found out about the concealment of Imperial Consort Yu Chai, and you are still innocent. At the same time, the flower hibiscus is gentle and virtuous, cheerful and optimistic. The Royal Princess was actually framed by someone else, and that is why you have bestowed the identity of the Royal Princess upon her, bestowing upon her the title of "Empress Dowager", and bestowed her the position of "Hibiscus Asgard"! "

"Imperial Concubine Xi, please accept the decree."

After receiving the imperial edict, Hua Mujiao smiled at the eunuch, "Thanks, you've come in time."

"This servant is terrified …!"

Then, Hua Mujiao looked at the mama and smiled, "Mama, I wonder if I have the qualifications to cripple the person behind you right now?"

The mama kneeled on the ground, not raising her head as she softly replied, "Empress, your words are serious. You're the master, so how are you going to punish this servant of the palace?"

At this moment, the court lady had long since been frightened to the point that her entire body went limp when she heard the imperial edict. When she heard Hua Mujiao mention her, she became even more frightened.

"Empress, please calm your anger. Empress, please spare my life, it is this servant who has eyes but does not recognize Mount Tai, it is this servant's fault. May Empress let this servant go, this servant will never dare, never again, Empress …"
