"Yes, my friend. What's wrong? Is there a problem? "

Hua Mujiao obviously didn't think that there was anything wrong with saying the word 'friend'. Instead, she raised her eyebrows, looking extremely serious.

"…" Bai Zhan Ke's face was dark, speechless.

Suddenly, he leaned over, reached out his hand to grab the back of Hua Mujiao's head, and kissed it …

Like a dragonfly touching the water lightly, Bai Zhan Ke left, then warned seriously, "Remember, I'm your husband, not your friend!"

Hua Mujiao didn't even have time to react to Bai Zhan Ke's sudden sneak attack. After this kiss, not only did she not feel angry, but there was also a hint of happiness and shyness.

Not only did Hua Mu Jin have the audacity to guess, could it be that she had already …

He suddenly shook his head and mumbled to himself, "Impossible, impossible, it's impossible to be so fast …"

Seeing Hua Mu Jin suddenly shake her head and talk to herself, Bai Zhan Ke was a bit confused, but at the same time he felt that she was very cute like this, and he couldn't help but smile.

"Why are you laughing? What's so funny? "Come on, let's spar and see if my kung fu has improved!"

Hua Mujie suddenly changed the style of the painting, and Bai Zhan Ke somewhat did not expect it. Although he could do a scale, he was afraid that he would hurt Hua Mu Jin. Just as he was about to shake his head and refuse, he saw Hua Mu Jin suddenly attack him.

"The fact that he managed to dodge the attack infuriated Hua Mujiao even more." If you're a man, then don't hide. "

"…"

After seeing the night sky, Hibiscus vulgaris was exhausted and fell asleep immediately.

Seeing this, Bai Zhan Ke covered her with his blanket and was about to turn around and return to the Heart Nurturing Palace when he suddenly changed his mind, took off his clothes and climbed onto Hua Mu Jin's bed …

The next day, when Hua Mu Jin woke up, it was already late in the morning.

"It's over, it's over, why is it that it's already this hour …"

As soon as he got up, Hibiscus vulgaris saw the sun shining through the window and knew that it was getting late. Good afternoon. Can only good afternoon now?

"Miss, you're up?"

At this time, Pearl came in carrying a basin of water. Seeing Hua Mu Jin sitting on the edge of the bed, she asked in puzzlement, "Miss, what's wrong? Is he sick? "

Placing her hands on her cheeks, Hua Mu Jin let out a sigh and asked, "Pearl, is there any news from the palace asking for an afternoon's rest?"

"Puff …"

Pearl immediately laughed at Hua Mujiao's words, put down the basin, and smiled. "Please tell me about this in the afternoon, but Miss, the Emperor ordered me today that you were too tired last night and sent someone to inform the empress dowager and imperial concubine. There's no need to say hello."

"What?"

Hua Mujiao sat up straight, his face filled with doubt.

"The entire palace knows that the emperor stayed at the Hibiscus Palace last night, so Miss doesn't need to worry about this."

With her eyes and mouth wide open, Hua Mujiao was obviously very surprised.

"Say, did the emperor sleep here with me last night?"

"Yeah."

"…"

It was no wonder that Hua Mujiao was surprised. Because she was really tired last night, she had always thought that after she fell asleep, she had returned to the Heartrecovery hall. Furthermore, she didn't feel the presence of anyone when she slept last night.

Unexpectedly, it actually …

"Has Big Sister Jin woken up?"

Suddenly, Mu Qiu's voice came from outside.

"Reporting to the Empress, she's already up and is currently washing up."

"Open the door, I'll go in and take a look."

After the door opened, Hua Mu Jin looked at Mu Qiu, who had a meaningful smile on his face as he walked in, and continued to support his face with his hands as he sighed. Laugh, if you want to laugh then laugh out loud, don't hold it back too much. "

"Cough, I'm not laughing. "I've only heard that the gates to the Hibiscus Courtyard were almost broken through by those noble ladies, so I've come to take a look at this unique and unprecedented event."

Frowning, Hua Mujiao turned to ask the pearl at the side.

"Is there?"

Pearl nodded as she replied, "In reply to the Empress, there are indeed quite a few noble ladies from the other palaces who came to pay their respects this morning. However, they were all sent back by Green Bamboo. This was also instructed by the Emperor."

Hearing this, Hua Mujiao suddenly wanted to know, just how deep did she sleep, to the point that she couldn't even hear a single sound.

"How is it, my good sister? How does it feel to be worth a thousand gold in one hour of spring snack?" Mu Qiu leaned forward and whispered into Hua Mu Jin's ear. It was obvious that Hua Mu Jin was teasing him.

Turning his head, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you want to know? How about I tell the emperor tonight that he'll be staying in your palace for the night? "

Mu Qiu waved his hand and bluntly refused. "My good elder sister, please don't. Please spare me. Besides, how can I compete with you, sister? "If it breaks our sisterhood, it won't do any good."

Hua Mu Jin knew why Mu Qiu rejected her, but she couldn't expose him.

Raising an eyebrow, Hua Mu Jin said teasingly, "Are you scared? "Hurry up and pour me a cup of water for my beloved concubine."

"Yes, Empress!"

He didn't expect that Mu Qiu would so unexpectedly cooperate with Hua Mu Jin and actually pour him a cup of water.

After Mu Jin finished drinking, she suddenly turned serious and said, "Mu Qiu, if you have any difficulties in the future, remember to tell me. I'll definitely help you."

It was obvious that Mu Qiu didn't know why Hua Mujiao would suddenly say such words, but he still nodded his head in gratitude. "Yes, I will."

"Empress, His Excellency Nan requests an audience."

Suddenly, Green Bamboo walked in and reported.

Nan Ge?

"Send him in."

"Yes sir!"

When Nan Ge came in, Hua Mu Jin could roughly guess why he came here. But when Nan Ge saw Mu Qiu, he only paid his respects to Hua Mu Jin without saying a word.

Seeing this, Mu Qiu also understood Nan Ge's intentions. "Big Sister Jin Jin, I'll leave first. I'll come see you tomorrow."

"Mm. Alright."

After Mu Qiu left, Pearl and Green Bamboo also left.

"The hairpin has been repaired?"

"Yes sir!" As he said this, Nan Ge took out an exquisite box from his waist and handed it over to Hua Mujiao.

"Although it has been repaired, the Empress's Blood Coralline hairpin is the highest grade of Blood Coral and is nourished from human blood. Therefore, the hairpin still seems to have some flaws." This subordinate has done something unfavorable, so I hope that the Empress will punish me. "

"Punishing my ass, take back your master's and servant's thoughts. I am already very grateful that you helped me fix it. If I were to punish you, wouldn't I become a vile woman who doesn't repay kindness?"

As she spoke, Hua Mu Jin opened the box. The hairpin glinting in a blood-red light was somewhat dazzling.

He stretched out his hand and picked it up. Hua Mujiao looked at it and confirmed that there were indeed some flaws in the fracture, but it did not hinder him. Suddenly, Hua Mu Jin's finger touched the spot that was broken, and then he was stabbed.

"Hiss …"

A drop of fresh blood dripped onto the hairpin, and the hairpin seemed to be drinking blood, sucking up all of Hua Mu Jin's blood.

"Empress, are you alright?"

Nan Ge asked worriedly. Initially, he wanted to take a look, but due to his identity, he stood in place.

"It's fine. You just said that this Blood Coral hairpin was formed from human blood. Is that true?" Holding her finger, Hua Mu Jin asked as she observed this strange hairpin.

"In reply to the Empress, yes. However, I heard that top quality blood corals have intelligence and will recognize a master. As long as it determines who is the master, even if it were to fall into the hands of someone else, it would be able to sell for a high price on the black market.

"So godly?"

Listening to Nan Ge's explanation, Hua Mu Jin didn't believe it at all.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he got up and walked to the cabinet by the side and opened it. He then took out a box from the cabinet.

He placed the box on the table and took out the Blood Coral Jade Pendant that he stole from the Treasure Vault. When he held it in his hand, both the jade pendant and the hairpin emitted a blood-red light.

Nan Ge, who was standing not too far away, was shocked as he hurriedly said, "Empress, this jade pendant and the hairpin should be a pair. However, Nan Ge, who was standing not too far away, was shocked as he said," Empress, this jade pendant and the hairpin should be a pair.

Looking up, Hua Mu Jin was even more shocked, "There's such a move?"

Suddenly, Hua Mujie felt that this jade pendant and hairpin might be able to solve the mystery of her ancestry. Even if it wasn't for her sake, she should have done a thorough investigation for the flower hibiscus that had lent her her body.

"Nan Ge, go tell your master that I am going out to the palace today. Whether he agrees or not, this matter is decided. "By the way, help me prepare a carriage. I'm going to visit the General's Mansion."

"…"

This was the first time that Nan Ge had seen the domineering nature of the flower, Mu Jin. But somehow, he felt that it was not bad.

"Yes, your subordinate will take his leave."

After lunch, Hua Mu Jin took the medallion that Nan Ge gave her and left the palace. As for the carriage outside the palace, Nan Ge had already prepared it long ago.

However, when she approached the carriage, she discovered that the people driving the carriage were Luo Chen and Nan Ge. In an instant, Hua Mu Jin had a bad premonition.

He opened the curtain of the carriage and saw Bai Zhan Ke sitting inside with a serious expression on his face.

"Bai Zhan Ke, are you a stalker?"

"I happen to have something to discuss with the general after leaving the palace. I'm not following him, I'm following him in the open!"

"…"

Seeing Bai Zhan Ke speak with a serious face, Hua Mu Jin rolled her eyes and turned to look at Luo Chen and Nan Ge, "Both of you, drag your master back!"

Shrugging his shoulders, Luo Chen spread out his hands, "Miss Hua, your subordinate is unable to do so!"

"…"

Helpless, in the end, the flower hibiscus still fight with Bai Zhuan ride the horse carriage to the general's mansion.

When Shangguan Yi saw the hibiscus, she welcomed it with great enthusiasm. She wanted to pull the hibiscus away, but Bai Zhan Qi blocked her with a flash.

"Ouch, this is really sour. It makes me sad to be protected like this. "

"Hearing Shangguan Yi's coquettish voice, both Bai Zhan Ke and Hua Mu Jin shuddered at the same time." When this man started acting coquettishly, it seems like there really is nothing for a woman to do. "

"May I ask if the emperor and Imperial Concubine Xi have something important to order this subject to do at the same time?"

In the main hall of the general's manor, Shangguan Yi blocked out all the servants, leaving only the five of them behind.

"He's here to join in on the fun, just ignore him. I'm too lazy to beat around the bush. You previously said that there was a portrait that was extremely similar to me in your residence. Take it out and let me see how much it looks like.
