The appearance of the palace maid gave the green bamboo a fright, causing it to feel an inexplicable sense of guilt.
"Damned girl, you're scaring me to death by suddenly appearing. "Esteemed wangfei has an ice-cold expression the entire time. What's so strange about her?"
Hearing this, the palace maid nodded her head in agreement. "That's true. I've met Ning Fei once before as well. It seems like she has a cold expression on her face and doesn't dare to approach anyone."
"Alright, get back to work."
Green Bamboo was relieved that he did not reveal himself in front of the palace maid.
In the following few days, Hua Mu Jin never went to the Dew Palace to pay his respects. Even the imperial concubine Ye Laixin saved her money. This was also an order for free.
At least she didn't have to wake up early, so she could sleep in peace.
However, for some reason, these few days, Bai Zhan Ke hadn't been to the Gesun Hall for quite some time. Hua Mujiao felt as though she hadn't seen him for almost a month, and was curious as to what Bai Zhan Ge was really busy with.
"Pearl, send someone to get Lord Nan Gonan. Tell him that I have something to discuss with him."
Hearing this, Pearl suddenly smiled and asked, "Empress, do you miss your majesty?" It's only been five days since the emperor arrived at the palace, and yet you can't take it any longer? "
Giving the pearl a stare, Hua Mu Jin's face turned slightly hot.
Then, he asked with a frown, "Has the emperor only been away for five days? Why do I feel like a month has passed? "
Hearing this, Pearl's smile grew even wider, and she couldn't help but tease, "Esteemed Empress, this servant thinks that you're missing me even more, just like those words. It was as though they couldn't see each other … What is it? "
"One day apart is like three years!" "How uncultured, how terrifying!"
Mu Jin rolled his eyes at the pearl, but showed his disgust.
"Isn't it said that a woman is virtuous? This is what this servant's parents have taught me since I was young. They said that this servant cannot learn how to read. "
"…"
Hibiscus laudanum was extremely disgusted by the feudal ideas of ancient times, especially when they did not value the position of women. It was as if women could only be accessories to pass on their pleasures to the generations of men.
Also, the slave consciousness was deeply rooted in the heart of a person like Pearl, and she hated it even more.
"Since you guys have time, I'll start a book in the Hibiscus Palace. All of you can't read or read, so you should all properly learn. Who said that being a woman without talent is being virtuous?" "Look at the women in this harem. They wouldn't have become concubines if they hadn't been skilled."
"Miss, this servant has her specialties as well. This servant was previously a hot maid in the imperial kitchens, so this hot servant girl is very good at it."
"…"
Pearl's sudden words of pride silenced Hibiscus vulgaris.
Shaking his head helplessly, he stretched out his hand and flicked Pearl's forehead, "Idiot, go and send someone to get Nan Ge."
Pearl covered her forehead and pouted, "Oh!"
When Nan Ge arrived at the Hibiscus Temple, Hua Mujie pushed everyone back, then very politely pulled Nan Ge to sit down. Not only did Nan Ge sit down, he even poured tea and passed water, and stood behind him, ready to massage his shoulders.
"Empress, I can't do this!"
In a split-second, Nan Ge stood up, keeping his distance from Hua Mu Jin.
"Oh, what is it? Come and sit down. I need your help with something. "
"As the Empress has instructed, your subordinate shall not take a seat."
The closer they got to the hibiscus flower, the more Nan Ge's heart began to beat faster. Thus, he still wanted to stay away from Hua Mu Jin. At the very least, he wouldn't let his master misunderstand anything.
"Sit down!"
With a stern roar, Nan Ge helplessly sat down.
Suddenly, Hua Mujiao raised her eyebrows. She dragged the stool closer to Nan Ge and put her hands on the table to support her cheeks. "Nan Ge, can you do me a favor?"
Nan Ge didn't dare to look at Hua Mujiao, so he glanced at her out of the corner of his eyes, then his Adam's apple moved slightly. "Empress, please speak."
In an instant, Hua Mujie looked up and down warily, then whispered into Nan Ge's ear, "Actually, I want to go to the Dew Palace and investigate. Can you use your position to help me delay the empress dowager's guards?"
Nan Ge frowned.
He turned his head. Originally, he wanted to warn Hua Mujiao that sneaking into the Sweet Dew Hall was an unfeasible action, but in the instant he turned his head, his lips actually touched Hua Mujiao's cheek …
Suddenly, Nan Ge felt as if he had been electrocuted. He stood up from the chair, dodged to the door without saying anything.
"Empress, this subordinate did not do it on purpose."
Seeing Nango blushing, Hua Mujie raised her eyebrows, teasing him in her heart.
Step by step, he walked closer to Nan Ge, Hua Mu Jin's smile was extremely sinister, "Nan Ge, this can't be your first time kissing a woman right? So this is your first kiss? "
"…"
Nan Ge's face alternated between red and black. This transformation made Flower Hibiscus very interested.
"Why don't I introduce one to you? What do you think of the green bamboo and the pearls? "Both of them are rather cute, except that Pearl has a gentle personality and Green Bamboo has a straight character, but I assure you, they are both good girls."
The more she spoke, the more excited she became.
However, she didn't see the disappointment that flashed in Nan Ge's eyes.
"Empress, please don't tease this subordinate. To investigate the Dew Palace's matter, this subordinate has also advised the Empress to give up on this idea. The Dew Palace is tightly guarded, and it would not be easy for Luo Chen and your subordinate to sneak in.
Nan Ge was smart enough to tease Hua Mu Jin, but he also saw Hua Mu Jin's determination, which seemed to be determined not to give up even if he didn't want to go to the Dew Palace.
"It's exactly because of the tight security that I got you to help me. Just tell me, are you going to help or not! "
"Empress, forgive this subordinate for being powerless."
Hua Mujiao immediately rejected him, and instantly became unhappy.
Suddenly, as if he thought of something, he looked up at Nan Ge with an evil smile and said, "Are you sure you won't help? Do you believe that I told your master that you just kissed my face? How do you think your master will punish you? "
"…"
Hua Mu Jin's threat rendered Nan Ge speechless.
In the end, Nan Ge still compromised and agreed to help Hua Mu Jin. However, the prerequisite was that if he discovered that something was amiss, he had to immediately retreat.
However, Nan Ge was afraid that Bai Zhan would be angered, so he took the initiative to tell Bai Zhan Ke. Bai Zhan Ke readily agreed, and told Nan Ge to protect Hua Mu Jin's safety at all costs.
When night fell, the entire palace was like a dead city, only sparse lights illuminated the rough outline of the palace.
Hua Mujiao was wearing night clothes as she hid behind a fake mountain. She was waiting for a signal from Nange so that she could sneak into the dazzling Sweet Dew Hall.
"Empress, this subordinate has already sent part of the guards outside the hall, but the people inside the Dew Palace are basically the empress dowager's own men. You must be careful, if you are discovered, please leave immediately. This subordinate will wait here for you."
"Mhmm, I know, thank you. What the f * ck."
He blew a flying kiss to Nan Ge, then used a light movement technique to jump onto a big tree in the Dew Palace.
Hua Mu Jin frowned as he looked at the guards walking back and forth inside.
When she had been to the Dew Palace three times, she had never felt that the Dew Palace was heavily guarded, but now it seemed that she was wrong.
According to Nan Ge, these guards would only guard the Dew Palace from three to three levels after the empress dowager went to bed. And these densely packed guards made Hua Mujiao's head hurt, making it impossible for him to step down.
"Creak …"
"Who is it?"
Suddenly, Hua Mu Jin's foot stepped on thin air. Although the sound wasn't loud, the leaves not only fell off two pieces, but also made tiny noises.
Seeing the guard raise his saber and draw his gun towards the big tree, Hua Mujiao held her breath and prepared to escape, but a nightingale crawled out from somewhere in the tree, flapping its wings and flew out.
"So it was a bird? "Look how it frightens you."
"You think I'm willing? If we fail in our duties, the empress dowager can probably use some methods to torment us.
Hua Mujiao felt that she had heard the voice of the last guard before, but couldn't recall where. She didn't know if she should say that she was lucky or not, but she was saved by a Nightingale.
While the guards were turning around, Hua Mujiao took advantage of the opening to shift positions lightly like a fallen leaf. It wasn't easy to avoid a lot of guards, but while she was dodging another wave of guards, she entered a dilapidated room filled with the smell of rot.
"There is such a room in the Dew Palace?" After quietly underestimating it, Hua Mu Jin didn't dare to bring out the fire piston. She could only make out the general outline of the room through the dim light.
Suddenly, Hua Mu Jin seemed to have seen something, and groped her way forward. She accidentally tripped on something, and her entire body lunged forward, just in time to push that object down …
At this moment, a secret passage suddenly opened under Hua Mujiao, and he tumbled down the stairs of this secret passage.
When her hand left the display, the door of the secret passage was closed.
"Hiss, it hurts so much …"
Seeing the densely packed stairs, Hua Mujiao touched her butt, then her head, feeling pain everywhere on her body.
There was a faint light in the passageway, and Hibiscus Blossom wanted to climb the stairs to see if the door to the tunnel could be opened from the inside. However, her curiosity prompted her to enter the tunnel.
"You're here again?"
Just when Hua Mu Jin was about to reach the end, a voice suddenly sounded. Hua Mu Jin instantly felt the dagger at her waist and became alert.
"If I'm not mistaken, you've come so late. Are you trying to torture me?"
Following the sound, when Hua Mujiao saw the back of a woman sitting on a stone bed with only a thin blanket on top of her, she subconsciously felt that she might be her mother.
"Who are you? Is it Hua Qingcheng? "
Suddenly, when she heard Hua Mu Jin's voice, the woman suddenly turned around. When she saw the woman's face, Hua Mu Jin unexpectedly took a few steps back in fear.
Not only was the woman's eyes gouged out, her face was also hacked countless times by a knife, causing her appearance to be disfigured. It was a very frightening sight to behold.
"Who are you? How did you get here? "
