Bully pulled out Hua Mujie's foot, Bai Zhan Ke looked very serious, and said, "What's wrong with it? "Whoever dares to say anything shall be ripped off by me!"

"…"

Although Bai Zhan Ke's tyrannical way of spoiling his wife was very enjoyable for Hua Mujiao, it also made her feel somewhat sorry for him.

After all, she had no intention of staying in this world for the rest of her life …

"Oh right, did you have any leads on the matter I asked Nan Ge to help me investigate?"

A few days ago, Hibiscus Blossom had sent the Southern Kingdom's birth Nan Ge to investigate about the Blood Coral matter. He didn't know how Nan Ge was doing, but there was still no news about him.

Therefore, he asked about the 'White Battlefield'.

"There will still be a few more days before you return. If you really want to find out your mother's identity, then in two months time, the Southern Kingdom's records will be in the Southern Kingdom. The king invites me to go, so you can go with me."

"Really?"

After Bai Zhan Ke said this, Hua Mujiao jumped up from her chair.

At the same time, Bai Zhan Ke had also put on her shoes.

"Well, really."

"I knew you were the best!"

For a moment, Hua Mujie was so happy that she jumped and jumped. She forgot her shape and directly jumped onto Bai Zhan Ke's body, her arms wrapped around Bai Zhan Ke's neck.

Hua Mujiao suddenly took the initiative to get closer to him, causing him to be stunned for a moment.

However, it only lasted for an instant and returned to normal.

"Alright, come down."

"Oh!"

Hua Mujiao pouted as he got off Bai Zhan Ke, looking a little unhappy.

"Go back to the palace first, I'll come over after I'm done with my business. "Also, no matter where you go in the future, remember to bring someone with you."

"Got it, nag!"

After leaving the Heart Nurturing Palace, Hua Mujiao did not directly return to the Hibiscus Palace. Where was she now, and where was she staying?

Unknowingly, she was surrounded by a dilapidated palace. She did not know where she was nor did she know what kind of place this was.

"Ah …" "Hmm …" "Zi Chu …"

Suddenly, a familiar voice entered his ears. In a split-second, Hua Mu Jin's eyebrows creased, and she turned her head to look into the dilapidated and overgrown palace.

He had only wanted to take a peek, but he stepped on a tree branch and made a sound.

In an instant, it had alarmed the two men who were doing obscene things in the palace.

"Someone's here?"

"It can't be? This palace has already been abandoned for more than ten years, how could there be people? "

"Go out and take a look, don't let anyone find out I'm here, or else the empress dowager will take my life."

"But, Zi Chu, I …"

"Hurry up and go!"

Hearing the conversation between the two, Hua Mujiao's brows tightened even more. She stood in place, this time not intending to leave.

When she saw the disheveled Mu Qiu walk out, Hua Mu Jin closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

"Big sis Jin, what's wrong, how could you …"

Hua Mu Jin stepped forward and pulled Mu Qiu's hand, pulling her away.

When they returned to the Eternal Music Palace, Hua Mujiao sat on a chair and stared at Mu Qiu without speaking. She was waiting for Mu Qiu to speak.

"Big Sister Jin, did … did you hear something?"

After a long while, Mu Qiu asked tentatively.

Sighing, Hua Mu Jin's expression became extremely unsightly. In the end, she opened her mouth and said, "Mu Qiu, do you know what you're doing? If the one who accidentally broke through you today wasn't me but someone else, do you know what would have happened to you? "

For the first time, Mu Qiu saw Hua Mu Jin getting angry at him.

The initial unease in his heart turned into anger.

"Big Sister Jin, of course I know what I'm doing! You have always known that entering the palace was not my wish. If it wasn't for my father forcing me, I would have been with Zi Chu a long time ago. "I know that Big Sister Jin, you're good to me, but, if I let you marry someone you don't love, not only would you not get pampered, but you would also have to be a widow for your entire life, would you be willing, Big Sister Jin?"

Mu Qiu became excited as he spoke.

Hua Mu Jin narrowed her eyes. She didn't deny what Mu Qiu had said. It was exactly what she was thinking.

However, that was not what she wanted to say.

"That man is not worth the risk for him. Don't you see that he doesn't love you at all? "

"But I love him! For him, I am willing to do anything! "

Mu Qiu's words were firm, making Hua Mujiao speechless.

"Mu Qiu, you're so stupid!" I only hope that you do not fall into the hands of this man one day. By then, it will be too late for you to regret it! "

"I'm not afraid!"

Mu Qiu's expression was resolute. Hua Mujiao suddenly felt that she was really meddling in other people's business.

"Up to you!" With that, Hua Mu Jin stood up and prepared to leave.

She knew that no matter how much she said, Mu Qiu wouldn't listen.

However, she didn't understand. Could a woman who loved herself but didn't love herself really be so contemptuous of herself?

"Elder Sister Jin Jin, today's matter …"

"Rest assured, I will not mention this to anyone. However, let me remind you, you better take care of yourself! "

After leaving the Eternal Music Palace, Hua Mujiao still felt sad for Mu Qiu.

If something really happened to her in the future, it would be something she didn't want to see happen.

After Hua Mujiao left, that guard called Zi Chu snuck into the Eternal Music Palace. Knowing that the one who broke through their trap was Hua Mu Jin, she instantly unleashed her killing intent towards Hua Mu Jin.

"This woman cannot be allowed to live!" "Think of a way, other than her!"

"Grandson Chu, what are you talking about? Elder sister Jin Jin is my good sister. Let me tell you, if you dare to touch her, I won't let you die! "

He shot an angry glance at Mu Qiu, but the killing intent in his grandson's eyes remained unabated.

"If I don't touch her, she might not do so. Previously, didn't she ruthlessly give me two slaps in the face in front of so many people from the Jin Xi Palace? Do you know how much face she has given me? "

"Isn't that because you trespassed into my Hibiscus Courtyard, and even hit Big Sister Jin's personal palace maid? What's more, the emperor was still here back then. If it wasn't for Big Sister Jin's two slaps, who knows how the emperor would have punished you. "

From start to finish, Mu Qiu had been speaking up for Hua Mujiao.

In her heart, Hua Mujiao was her good sister, and she could not tolerate anything that would wrongly accuse her.

"Wasn't that the empress dowager's decree? "If she doesn't look at the Buddhist Sangha, she wouldn't even put the empress dowager in her eyes. Say, what do you think you are in her eyes?"

His grandson Chu kept on saying that Hua Mujiao was in the wrong. This made Mu Qiu suddenly feel that the man in front of him had changed.

"Zi Chu, how did you become so unreasonable?" "Ever since you came to work at the empress dowager's palace, I discovered that you changed completely. You clearly weren't like this in the past!"

Seeing Mu Qiu's disappointed expression, his grandson Chu Feng retracted the hostility in his hand and comforted him gently.

"It's not that I've changed, it's that I have to adapt to this strong person's way of life. Mu Qiu, listen to me. That Hua Mujiao is not a simple woman. One day, she will expose our relationship. Not only will I die, you will also die. So, she can't stay, you know? "

"Since she said she won't, then she won't! Also, don't touch her. If you dare to touch her, I will never forgive you! "

"Pa …"

Just as Mu Qiu finished speaking, his grandson Chu slapped him in the face.

Mu Qiu covered his face. He didn't expect that the man he loved since he was young would actually hit him.

"You, hit me?"

As if he realized that he had been too impulsive, his grandson Chu Fei's face was filled with guilt and heartache as he hurriedly apologized.

"I'm sorry, Qiu'er. I-I was angered by your words. I'm sorry."

Tears welled up in his eyes.

Mu Qiu closed his eyes, as though he didn't want to see the man in front of him anymore. "You can leave!"

His grandson looked at Mu Qiu with his eyes closed, hesitant on how to comfort Mu Qiu. In the end, he struggled to think for a long time before finally leaving.

At this moment, Mu Qiu suddenly felt that Hua Mujiao's words might really come true. She would fall under the hands of this man …

After returning to the Hibiscus Temple, Hua Mu Jin looked exhausted.

"Empress, what's wrong? Did Pearl not follow you? "

Seeing that Hibiscus had no strength left in her steps and that the pearl beside her had also disappeared, Green Bamboo Shoot hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

The corner of her mouth twitched, and Hua Mujiao shook her head, "It's fine. Send someone to find the pearl. I'm tired, I'm going in to rest for a while."

This was the first time that Green Bamboo had seen Hibiscus vulgaris.

Obviously, something had happened that had caused her to act this way, but she didn't dare to ask.

Just as he was about to send someone to find the pearl, a few uninvited guests came from the Hibiscus Temple.

"It's precisely Imperial Concubine Xi. Quickly capture her. If she didn't push our noble into the water, our noble wouldn't have …" "Howl …"

When the palace maid and a few guards arrived and saw the green bamboo blocking their way, they started to wail.

"Miss Green Bamboo, on the orders of the empress dowager, we have come to invite esteemed wangfei to visit the Dew Palace. Please notify esteemed Empress Xi."

The green bamboo coldly glanced at the wailing palace maid, as it loathed her wailing voice, as well as the slander towards Hua Mu Jin from her words.

Although the guards had followed them, it was clear that the guards didn't dare to rashly step into the palace.

"Our Empress has fallen asleep. You guys wait here!"

With that, the green bamboo shot a look at the person from the Jin Yu Xi Palace, then turned and entered the palace.

"What's going on outside?"

Seeing the green bamboo enter, Hua Mujie looked at it and asked in a low voice.

"In reply to Empress Dowager, a palace maid from some palace came over with a guard from the empress dowager's palace. She said that it was you, that you had pushed them into the water, and that the noble died …!"

Dead?

Hua Mu Jin frowned.

Because of the incident with Mu Qiu, she still had a headache. Who would have thought that the person who wanted to push her this afternoon would fall into the water and die?

But that noble was clearly with Wei Hanshuang. Even if he fell into the water, as long as Wei Hanshuang ordered someone to save her, his life would not be in danger.

How could he possibly die?

It was most likely a trap for her.

With a flash of spiritual light, the corner of Hua Mu Jin's mouth revealed an evil smile.

"I will write a letter and send someone to send it to the Jadeite Jade Pavilion. Go outside and reply, just say that I'll change my clothes and go over immediately. "

"Yes, Empress."

Without asking any further questions, Green Bamboo obeyed and turned to walk out.
