"What did you say?"

The empress dowager's words made Hua Mu Jin instantly notice something as she asked coldly.

However, the empress dowager didn't have the slightest intention of telling her, only saying, "Hua Mujiao, originally Yu'er said that you could still be used as a woman, but in This Dowager's view, other than having an enticing fox like appearance, you really have no value at all."

"It is not up to you to decide whether or not you want to use them. So what if she was beautiful? She could still be considered a capable person! "Actually, I quite sympathize with you, empress dowager. Not only did you serve with others, you couldn't even get your own husband's heart. Even getting pregnant with Bai Ling Yu had to use all sorts of methods to get the late emperor's only favor."

These were the flowers and hibiscus when the two old palace maids overheard it while they were still at the laundry department.

As she spoke, Hua Mujiao could already feel how much anger the empress dowager had. However, she did not intend to give up.

"As a woman, she's so pathetic that she could be a widow for a lifetime. It's really pitiful!"

"Hua Mu Jin, shut up!" Do you believe that This Dowager can immediately kill you!? "

The empress dowager couldn't sit still any longer, as if she'd been stabbed with pain. Her hatred for Hua Mu Jin intensified, and her eyes were staring fixedly at Hua Mu Jin, as if she wanted nothing more than to hack her into a thousand pieces.

Laughing lightly, Hua Mu Jin calmly brushed her hair, "Cut? Does the empress dowager have any reason to execute me? "

"This is disrespectful to This Dowager. It's enough to call a cut!"

Originally, the empress dowager hadn't left behind many court ladies in the Dew Palace because she had wanted to put some pressure on Hua Mujiao to make him yield directly to her. But she didn't expect that she underestimated the fact that Hua Mujiao knew martial arts.

That was why he allowed Hua Mujiao to act so arrogantly in front of him.

"Heh, the empress dowager didn't laugh, did she?" As if she had heard a great joke, Hua Mujiao coldly laughed, retracted her ice-cold gaze, and took a few steps forward.

"Does Her Majesty remember that she relied on me in the Selection Pavilion? You said that there was no way to convict without proof. Moreover, I remember Her Majesty saying at that time that the people around her were not enough to be witnesses. "Then the empress dowager, tell me, if you say that I am disrespectful to you and that everyone in your Dew Palace is yours, who will believe you?"

"You … Flower Hibiscus, don't push it too far! "

The empress dowager didn't expect that Hua Mujiao would actually take out the matter of the Exquisite Pavilion from before. She was angered to the point of being at a loss for words.

"A person who goes too far? "Majesty, you have to be honest when you say that."

Hua Mujie's words were very threatening, causing the empress dowager to be even more at a loss as to how to deal with her.

He originally wanted to show off his strength to Hua Mujie, but he didn't expect to throw a rock at his own foot.

"Empress, Empress, a palace maid sneaked out."

Suddenly, Green Bamboo, who'd been standing and listening to the empress dowager and Hua Mujiao's war of words, noticed a palace maid sneaking out of the Dew Palace.

Hearing these words, Hua Mujiao's face instantly darkened.

She lifted her eyes and looked coldly at the empress dowager, snorting. "Empress Dowager, I have my principles. I won't offend anyone, but if anyone offends me, I'll pay them back tenfold."

With that, Hua Mujiao spotted the fruit knife on the table by the side of the screen. She dashed over and grabbed the knife, rushing in front of the empress dowager. The viciousness in her eyes made the empress dowager flustered.

"Flower Hibiscus, what are you trying to do?"

Seeing that the empress dowager was a little afraid, Hua Mujiao suddenly smiled craftily, then used the blade to slash twice at her arm.

She clenched her teeth and endured the pain before placing the sword in the empress dowager's hands. Meanwhile, she knelt down and gripped the empress dowager's hands tightly, making it impossible for the empress dowager to throw the sword.

"Esteemed Empress Dowager, spare me, chenqie doesn't dare. I beg you, spare me. Chenqie really doesn't dare to follow you out of the palace anymore. Esteemed Empress Dowager, please spare chenqie …"

Hua Mujie's tears suddenly fell like rain as she begged for mercy, causing the empress dowager to be stunned for a moment.

"Flower Hibiscus, do you really want to …"

It was at this moment that a group of guards rushed in with swords in hand. They had originally come to protect the emperor upon hearing the palace maid's words, but they didn't expect to see the empress dowager holding a dagger, while fresh blood flowed from Hua Mujiao's arm as she pleaded for mercy …

"Esteemed empress dowager, chenqie really knows her wrongs. No matter what she does in the future, chenqie will report it to the empress dowager. Chenqie will never be favored by the emperor alone again. Esteemed empress dowager, please spare chenqie, empress dowager …"

"What are you all still standing there for? Hurry up and drag this crazy woman out. She wants to kill This Dowager. The guards who came were all the empress dowager's own men, so she was naturally not afraid of the trick of the hibiscus.

But Hua Mujiao did not think this way, because she knew that Nan Ge and Luo Chen were the commanders of the imperial palace's imperial guards, and they must have their men inside.

At the door, all the guards were dumbstruck, but in the end, it was still an order. They still took a step forward and prepared to drag Hua Mu Jin away.

"What happened? If you aren't going on patrol, why are you here at the Dew Palace? " At this time, a familiar voice rang out. Hua Mujiao's lips curled up. She knew that she had won!

"Vice Commander Luo …"

Pushing the crowd aside, Luo Chen walked forward. When he saw that Hua Mujiao's arm had already been dyed with blood, he ran up and asked with concern, "Empress, what happened to you? Is there an assassin? How did you get injured? "

After asking Hibiscus vulgaris, Luo Chen raised his head and asked the empress dowager, "Empress Dowager, are you alright? Where is the assassin? This subordinate will send people to search and capture the assassin. "

Luo Chen's expression was very serious, which made Hua Mujiao admire him from the bottom of her heart.

When the empress dowager saw Luo Chen's performance, she clenched her hand into a fist and took a deep breath. She looked at Hua Mujiao and said coldly, "Why aren't you letting go yet?"

At these words, Hua Mujie loosened her grip on the empress dowager's hands and didn't forget to continue acting. "Empress Dowager Xie, chenqie really doesn't dare, she doesn't dare …"

"Vice Commander Luo, Imperial Concubine Xi is injured. Hurry and help her bandage her wounds. Don't leave any scars!"

Her Majesty's words were stiff, but Hua Mujie could hear the meaning behind them.

"Yes, your subordinate understands." Receiving the order, Luo Chen helped Hua Mu Jin up from the ground. Seeing this, Green Bamboo's eyes were bloodshot as it went forward to support Hua Mu Jin. Seeing Hua Mu Jin's bleeding arm, its heart ached.

"Empress, does it hurt?"

"Don't talk, I'm fine!"

After leaving the Dew Palace, Nan Ge anxiously paced back and forth outside the hall. When he saw the figures of Hua Mu Jin and the other two come out, he went up to them in joy.

However, when the smell of blood entered his nose, a murderous look instantly appeared on Nan Ge's body.

"Keep your killing intent, let's return to the Hibiscus Courtyard first. Mistress is still waiting for you in the Hibiscus Courtyard!"

Ye Zichen rolled his eyes at Nan Ge, while Luo Chen warned him.

Nan Ge then retracted his killing intent, but after seeing that Hua Mujiao's arm was covered in blood, he frowned and pushed away the green bamboo and Luo Chen, then held onto Hua Mujiao's waist.

On one side, Green Bamboo was stupefied.

Luo Chen shook his head, as if he had expected this to happen.

When Hua Mujiao and the other two left the Dew Palace, the empress dowager sat on the phoenix chair without moving for a long time without saying a word. A pair of eyes stared fixedly at the door of the Dew Palace.

"Empress Dowager, are you alright?" Qin mama had gotten up long ago and walked over to the empress dowager's side.

But the Empress Mother did not move as if she had not heard.

All of a sudden, Senior Servant Qin was frightened out of her wits. She hastily pushed the empress dowager aside and shouted anxiously, "Empress Dowager, what's wrong with you?" "Don't scare this old servant, empress dowager …"

Suddenly Her Majesty stirred and rose from her chair.

Looking at the blood stains left by the flower hibiscus on the ground, he stepped on it fiercely. Then, as if he had gone mad, he began to smash the items in the Dew Palace.

All of a sudden, the two palace maids and Senior Servant Qin were frightened stiff as they knelt on the ground. "Calm down, empress dowager, calm down …"

In the Dew Palace, almost everything that could be smashed was thrown to the ground by the empress dowager. As she did, she scolded, "Hua Qingcheng, a slut like you really can't produce much good stuff! This Dowager should not have been soft-hearted enough to let this vile spawn live. Hua Mujiao, just you wait for me, and I'll send you to meet that slut mother of yours and your heartless father! "

"Haha, haha …"

When she had finished, Her Majesty burst out laughing. She looked like a lunatic.

Hua Mujie was carried back to the Hibiscus Palace. Bai Zhan Ke's face darkened when he saw her being carried by Nan Ge. He took Hua Mujie from Nan Ge's arms and hugged her.

When he saw that Hua Mu Jin's face was pale, and the blood on his arm dyed Nan Ge's chest red, he was so nervous that his heart ached.

"What are you all still standing there for? Hurry and summon the royal doctors! "

"Yes, this servant will go right now!"

The bamboo responded rather quickly and ran out.

Pearl, upon seeing Hua Mu Jin's hand, instantly started crying as her eyes turned red, "Miss, what's wrong? "Miss, why did so much blood come out? Please don't let anything happen to you. Your servant, your servant …"

With great difficulty, she forced a smile, "What are you crying for? Your young mistress is lucky and will not die! "

"But, Miss, you …"

"Don't cry anymore. Hurry up and boil some water. Find a clean set of clothes for your master." Luo Chen could not bear to see a woman cry the most, so he went up and shouted at her.

"Yes, servant. This servant will go immediately …"

Bai Zhan Ke carried Hua Mu Jin and walked to the bedside. He gently placed her on the bed, but the word 'angry' was clearly written on his face.

With a helpless smile, Hua Mu Jin moved her lips and said, "I'm injured, why are you so angry?"

"Staring angrily at Hua Mu Jin, Bai Zhan was truly furious this time." Do you know that you almost lost your life?! "

The hidden guards who had been assigned to watch over Hua Mujiao earlier were unable to enter the tightly guarded Dew Palace. That was the reason why he had sent Dustsift Nango to sneak into the Dew Palace to wait for an opportunity when he found out that Hua Mujiao had been summoned by the empress dowager.

Only, he didn't expect that Hua Mujiao would use such a stratagem on him for the sake of getting the empress dowager into trouble.

"Pfft, what are you saying? She knew very well that she wouldn't make a wager with her life. However, this trip to the Dew Palace has not been in vain. "
