Glancing at the green bamboo, her words made Hua Mujiao feel that in the eyes of others, she was a person who could only survive in this palace by relying on the support of a White War Grail.

However, she could also see that Green Bamboo was truly worried for her.

"No need, I'll go and change my clothes first. In a while, come with me to the Dew Palace."

"Yes, Empress."

After changing into the palace's concubines and changing into her makeup, she purposely had Green Bamboo dress up for her.

"Empress, you're so beautiful …!"

Looking at the flower wood hibiscus dressed up in the bronze mirror, Green Bamboo could not help but sigh emotionally.

"Of course. If xiaojie doesn't mind dressing up, there is no one in this palace that can match up to you in terms of how beautiful you are."

At the side, Pearl heard the green bamboo's sigh, as if the one being praised was her, and was extremely complacent.

"Stop talking, let's go!"

Hua Mujiao brought the green bamboo and headed towards the Dew Palace. Although she didn't know why the empress dowager had summoned her, she had a bad premonition. However, she wasn't timid by half.

As they were approaching the Dew Palace, someone suddenly called out to them.

"Little Sister Xi Fei, please wait a moment."

The person who stopped her was none other than Ye Lai Xin.

"It's already so late, why is the imperial concubine here?" If he guessed correctly, although the Palace of Endless Peace wasn't far from the Dew Palace, it was impossible to pass through this path no matter where one went from the Palace of Endless Peace.

It was illogical for Ye Laixin to appear here.

With a faint smile, Ye Yi Xin was supported by a palace maid as he said, "To tell you the truth, little sister Xi Fei, I've been waiting here for little sister Xi for a long time."

Hua Mu Jin's lips curved into a smile as she pretended to be flustered. "Chenqie is terrified, to actually make the imperial concubine wait. It's chenqie's fault. I don't know what business the esteemed imperial concubine has waiting for chenqie? "

"Actually, it's not that big of a deal. It's just that when the empress dowager announced that you were going to the Dew Palace, she was a little worried, so she wanted to remind you in advance." Speaking of which, I am indeed a bit nosy. "

Ye Yi Xin knew that Hua Mu Jin didn't have a good impression of him. Although they weren't enemies, they couldn't be friends.

In particular, she hated that face of Hibiscus vulgaris.

"It is chenqie's good fortune that I am indebted to Imperial Concubine's memory. Hearing esteemed imperial concubine's words, could it be that imperial concubine knows what the empress dowager wanted with her concubine? "

Hua Mujiao found it harder and harder to like this woman as he looked at her.

Although she looked weak and kind, enough to make countless people think that she was harmless, Hua Mu Jin didn't know why, but he felt that she wasn't as simple as she looked on the surface.

Perhaps her weakness and kindness were just a disguise?

"The empress dowager announced that you went to the Dew Palace simply because your younger sister was doted on by the emperor. She wanted you to persuade the emperor to go to another palace. That's all." However, this is just my guess, so you don't need to take it to heart. After all, at this very moment, little sister, you have no fear. "

The reason why Hibiscus Blossom made Green Bamboo dress up for her was because she felt that a woman would be filled with confidence after putting on makeup. She also wanted to inform the empress dowager that she was the only one that had gained the love of the empress dowager, and that it was because she had the capital to be the sole pet!

"Write esteemed imperial concubine's reminder. It's getting late, chenqie will go to the Dew Palace first."

As she said this, Hua Mu Jin nodded towards Ye La Xin, gave her a bow, and then left.

Looking at Hua Mu Jin's departing figure, Ye Yi Xin sighed and helplessly shook his head.

"Empress, this Empress doesn't seem to appreciate your kindness. Since she doesn't appreciate it, why try to rope her in?" This servant feels that even if she is doted upon by the emperor right now, she has still offended the other emperors in the imperial harem. Her good days won't last for long. "

Staring at the palace maid coldly, Ye Yi Xin said with an ice-cold tone, "Shut up!" What do you know? "

The palace maid lowered her head and took two steps back after being scolded by Ye Yi Xin.

Within the Mushroom, Hibiscus Blossom greeted the empress dowager, but couldn't see any signs of wanting her to wake up even after a long time. However, the posture of this blessing caused Hua Mujie to feel very uncomfortable, so he decided to get up on his own.

"Did This Dowager tell you to wake up?" Seeing this, the empress dowager raised her eyes and asked coldly.

"Calm your anger, Empress Dowager. Yesterday, His Majesty lived in the Hibiscus Courtyard, and chenqie didn't prepare any extra bedding. In order to take good care of the emperor, she caught a cold." Your Majesty has already promised me that chenqie need not bow to anyone, but chenqie feels that in front of the empress dowager, chenqie should be bowing even if she's terminally ill. "

Hua Mujie's words were quite reasonable. Not only did he reveal that he had been doted upon by Bai Zhankai, he even used his words to gag the empress dowager.

"Hmph, what a sharp tongue!" With a cold snort, the empress dowager's expression grew even worse.

"I owe it to the empress dowager for her praise, but chenqie dares not accept it."

With a slight smile, Hibiscus Blossom seemed to be fully prepared to face the empress dowager.

After a long while, the empress dowager suddenly shot a glance at Qin mama who was standing by the side. Qin mama understood and turned around to quietly instruct the palace maid to bring a chair for Hua Mujiao.

"Sit down, you have nothing important to discuss with This Dowager. "Qin mama, serve some tea."

The empress dowager suddenly bestowed a seat, which surprised Hua Mujie. From the looks of it, it seemed that he was going to entertain her.

"Empress Dowager Xie."

Sitting on the chair, Hua Mujiao watched as the palace maid brought her tea, but she had no intention of drinking it.

"What is it? Don't dare to drink it? There's no poison in this tea! " The empress dowager's voice was tinged with mockery.

However, Hua Mujiao only pursed his lips and smiled. "The empress dowager's joking, chenqie isn't thirsty at all. I absolutely don't doubt that the empress dowager will poison chenqie." Moreover, the empress dowager couldn't possibly poison it, right? "

In response to her question, Hua Mu Jin's expression seemed very calm.

In a moment Her Majesty began to examine the flower hibiscus carefully. Even so, it was clear that he was disgusted with the flower hibiscus.

"I heard that you left the palace today?"

"Yes sir!"

Hearing this, Hua Mu Jin replied without concealing anything.

This made the empress dowager a little surprised, before she asked, "I presume you don't know the rules of this harem. Don't mention that the harem's concubines aren't allowed to leave, even if there are special circumstances, you still have to ask This Dowager for permission." Do you know what it is to leave the palace without permission? "

Her sharp gaze met the empress dowager's eyes, but Hua Mujiao's gaze was exceptionally resolute.

"Reporting to the empress dowager, chenqie really doesn't know this rule." But since the empress dowager knew that chenqie had left the palace, she also knew that she had left together with the emperor. As a member of the Emperor, if chenqie doesn't even obey the orders of the Emperor, then wouldn't she be sentenced to death? "

Hua Mujiao pulled the empress dowager and Bai Zhan Ke directly onto the surface to make a comparison. This made the empress dowager's face darken in an instant.

Anyone should have heard what Hibiscus Blossom meant, and the Empress Dowager was no exception.

"You mean, the Emperor's orders are nothing compared to asking permission from This Dowager?"

"I don't dare, chenqie didn't intend to do that."

Although he said he didn't dare to say it, he could see this meaning from Hua Mujiao's smile.

"Flower Hibiscus, I've really underestimated you!"

Raising an eyebrow and smiling back, Hua Mu Jin didn't reply.

But in her heart, Hibiscus Blossom kept speculating on the empress dowager's true intentions in announcing her arrival. She knew very well that it would definitely not be as simple as a verbal battle between two people.

However, Hua Mu Jin was still unable to see through her intentions.

"Ah …"

Suddenly, at this moment, the chair that Hua Mujiao was sitting on was broken from the pain, and she didn't expect it to be like this. She didn't even have time to prepare before she fell to the ground in a sorry state.

"Empress, are you alright?"

Green Bamboo, who had been waiting at the side, quickly reacted. He went up to help Hua Mu Jin up, and asked with concern.

He lowered his head to look at the broken chair's legs. Apparently, someone had used some sort of trick on them. She abruptly turned her head to look at the empress dowager, causing Hua Mujiao's gaze to turn ice-cold.

As for the empress dowager, she pursed her lips with a cold smile and faked a question at Qin mama. "Senior Servant Qin, what's going on?" Why did this chair have a broken foot? Hurry up and order people to pack up, and bring back a good chair! "

"Esteemed Empress Dowager, this old servant doesn't know either. Maybe it's the new court lady who brought in the bad ones. This old servant will go down and punish them now."

"No need!"

Seeing the master and his servant's terrible acting, Hua Mujiao stood up and called out to Qin mama.

However, she hadn't expected that the empress dowager, a woman who had once been the mother of the world, would play such a low-class trick. What was his motive? To humiliate her?

If it was, then it could really be done by such a low-level method.

"Esteemed Empress Dowager, chenqie is fine, there's no need to punish those from the palace. Your concubine has always thought that her trip was unfavorable and that she was bullied by a pig. Since that's the case, why bother making a fuss about it with an animal? "

Obviously, everyone was well aware of who the dog that Hua Mu Jin was referring to.

"Impudent!" As a concubine, you actually dare to speak such vulgar words. Do you want to deliberately embarrass the imperial family? Someone come, slap This Dowager's face! "

The Empress was suddenly angry, as the flower hibiscus had expected.

Seeing the two palace maids walk towards her, Hua Mujiao shot a disdainful glance at them. When the palace maid raised her hand to slap her face, Hua Mujiao directly grabbed onto the palace maid's wrist, and violently threw the palace maid away.

"How dare you!" Hua Mu Jin, you dare to make a move against my people, are you rebelling? "

She looked coldly at the empress dowager on the phoenix chair. Hua Mujiao smiled coldly and opened her mouth to speak. "Esteemed empress dowager, since both you and I dislike each other, why put on an act? Furthermore, this is the Dew Palace, and there are no outsiders present.

"It's the opposite, it's the opposite! Senior Servant Qin, hurry and call the imperial guards! Imperial Concubine Xi has gone mad, Imperial Concubine Xi has gone mad …"

Seemingly completely mad at what Hua Mujiao had said, the empress dowager and Senior Servant Qin continued to put on an act that was difficult to continue watching.

When she saw that Qin mama was about to go out and summon her guards, Hua Mujiao immediately flipped over and placed herself in front of her, before ferociously kicking her far away.

"Flower Hibiscus, you're courting death!"

While twisting her neck, Hua Mujie let out a crisp sound from the joints of her neck, then raised her head and smiled brilliantly.

"Who's looking to die, Empress Dowager, why not give it a try?"

At this point, the empress dowager had already walked out of her act. She glared angrily at Hua Mujiao and said, "Indeed, women with the surname Hua are extremely loathsome!"
