Shangguan Yi shook her head helplessly at Bai Zhan Ke's resolute resolution. She sighed, "But have you ever considered the consequences of doing so?" If you want to have both the fish and the bear's paw, it's not going to be easy. "

Shangguan Yi looked at Bai Zhan Ke's resolute expression and spoke again.

You know, the reason why the empress dowager chose your concubines was to stabilize her faction. Other than the Left Prime Minister's daughter, the other women are all members of her faction, and you're the only one who favors Hua Mu Jin, so it's inevitable that you'll put her at the heart of the struggle. Why don't you use this opportunity to have Hua Mu Jin fight against those women?

As soon as Shangguan Yi finished her sentence, she received Bai Zhan Ke's icy glare.

Looking coldly at Shangguan Yi, Bai Zhan Ke's cold voice sounded. "Don't forget, she's not only my beloved, she's also your little sister!"

Bai Zhan Ke had made a clear statement regarding Shangguan Yi's request to use the flower hibiscus, and he had never thought to use the flower hibiscus to achieve his goal of seizing power!

In that instant, Shangguan Yi's lips curled up in a bitter smile, a little helpless and a little disappointed.

He shook his head lightly and said, "Although she is my half-sister, we aren't siblings. "You should have also noticed that her background is definitely not simple. If you don't use it, your mufei …"

"Shut up!"

Before Shangguan Yi could finish her words, Bai Zhan Ke's cold shout stopped her.

This was the first time since they had met that Bai Zhan Ke had spoken to Shangguan Yi in such a commanding tone.

Giving a self-deprecating laugh, Shangguan Yi stood up, took a deep breath, and said, "I still remember I once said that as long as you want it, I will give it my all." If you really want both the fish and the bear's paw, then I know what to do. "

With that, Shangguan Yi turned and walked out of the Imperial study.

Inside the royal study, only Bai Zhan Ke was left sitting behind the table. The frigid air around his body had receded, but his face was unexpectedly dark.

The next day, at noon.

After lunch, Hua Mujiao sat at the table and thought for a long time before instructing Green Bamboo, "Green Bamboo, go and get the bright yellow cloth that the Emperor sent a few days ago."

Green Bamboo did not quite understand Hibiscus' instructions. "Empress, do you want to make new clothes?"

He turned his head and stared at the green bamboo. Hua Mujiao was a little impatient, "Why are you asking so many questions? If I tell you to go and get it, then go and get it."

"Yes sir!"

The bamboo didn't dare to ask any further and directly walked out.

When the cloth was brought over, Hibiscus Blossom directly let the bamboo take the cloth along with her to Weiyang Palace.

At this time, in Weiyang Palace, Wei Hanshuang was just finishing her meal and sitting in front of a dressing table in the palace to fix her make-up. Seeing the eunuch report, her face revealed surprise, mixed with a little sinister.

"Empress, why would Imperial Concubine Xi suddenly come to your place? This servant thinks that she definitely has no good intentions. "

Wei Hanshuang coldly glanced at the palace maid who had opened her mouth, but didn't seem to mind at all. She said, "Yesterday, she stopped the guards from searching for her, I'm afraid she came to interrogate us." "However, it's good that she's here. I don't have to go and look for her."

After speaking, Wei Hanshuang then ordered the eunuch, "Go, invite Princess Xixi in."

"Yes sir!"

Soon after, Hibiscus vulgaris was invited into the palace of Weiyang Palace.

Seeing Wei Hanshuang half reclining on the Imperial Consort's chair, Hua Mu Jin smiled and found a chair to sit on.

"Ning Fei's palace is really magnificent. It makes me want to stay here." Ye Zichen glanced around, then suddenly, Hua Mu Jin opened his mouth.

Hearing this, Wei Hanshuang smiled and said, "If big sister Xi Fei likes this palace, then she wants it from the emperor. Compared to this magnificent Weiyang Palace, I think big sister Xi Fei's Hibiscus Palace is even better.

Hua Mujiao revealed a professional smile. "Consort Ning really knows how to joke around. Mountains are artificial mountains, water is a pond. How can a desolate place like this be called a paradise?"

Actually, the Hibiscus Hibiscus Temple flower hibiscus is still rather like.

The main reason was that there weren't many people in her palace, so she was free and quiet. Of course, it was just as Wei Hanshuang had said, birds chirping and the fragrance of flowers indeed. Moreover, Jin Xi Palace seemed to be much bigger than the palaces of the other concubines.

"How could that be? Didn't the emperor often go to see big sister Xixi? It wouldn't be appropriate to use the words' desolated '. On the other hand, in my Weiyang Palace, the Emperor has never been to the future before.

"Is that so?"

Soon after, Hua Mujiao said, "That's right, I heard that Imperial Concubine Ning was good at riding and shooting, and even learned some martial arts. I'm afraid that Imperial Concubine Ning might leave with the Emperor this time?"

Hua Mujiao suddenly changed the topic of conversation, which surprised Wei Hanshuang.

Wei Hanshuang nodded her head, "As a young lady of the Right Prime Minister's Estate, learning a bit of martial arts is just a matter of self-defense. As for the possibility of being able to hunt with the Emperor, we don't dare to speculate too deeply about that. After all, this was decided by the Emperor.

At this moment, Hua Mujie suddenly felt that this Wei Hanshuang was not only scheming, but also very smart.

"That makes sense, it seems like I came here for nothing. Originally, I wanted to go hunting with the emperor, so I brought out some fine cloth from the kitchen for you. It's also good for Ning Fei to make some clothes before the hunt, this will show off your temperament, won't it?"

Turning his head, Wei Hanshuang glanced at the cloth on the bamboo's hand before her gaze landed on Hua Mujiao's body.

"This fabric is indeed high quality, and the color is extremely pleasing to the eye." But, big sister Xi Fei, since you endured the pain of giving me the cloth, why don't you make yourself a set of clothes? "

Wei Hanshuang asked Mu Jin as she spoke.

Hua Mujiao helplessly shook her head and said, "Although I haven't interacted much with Little Sister Ning, you should know that I like light colors. I'm too bright, so how can I control them like Little Sister Ning Xi? Of course, if little sister Ning Fei has any misgivings, I can just take it back. "

When Wei Hanshuang heard that Hibiscus Flower was going to take back the cloth, she started to feel a bit uncomfortable.

Everyone knew that she, Wei Hanshuang, was not only a pampered girl, but also someone who loved bright colors. Moreover, this bright yellow cloth was extremely similar to the color of the phoenix robe.

"Since Big Sister Xi Fei wants to gift me this, how can I reject you? Thank you, big sister Xi Fei. "

"There's no need for thanks. Since the cloth has been delivered, I won't disturb Ning Fei."

Not long after sitting down, Hua Mu Jin already mentioned that she wanted to leave, which made Wei Hanshuang very curious.

He originally thought that she came to interrogate the guards of the Hibiscus Temple about being stopped outside Weiyang Palace last night, but he didn't expect that Hua Mujiao hadn't mentioned anything and had even delivered cloth to her.

Clearly, Wei Hanshuang didn't believe that Hibiscus Flower would be so kind.

"Someone, help me send Imperial Concubine Xi off."

After sending off the hibiscus, Wei Hanshuang touched the bright yellow cloth in her hands. The softness of the cloth made her love it so much that she couldn't let go, but in her heart, she was still guessing the purpose of the cloth that was sent to her by the hibiscus.

"Empress, there can't be anything in this cloth, right?"

At the side, a palace maid couldn't help but remind him.

Wei Hanshuang thought so and said, "Take it to the imperial physician. If there's anything inside, throw it away." If not, take it to the master's office and ask them to make a riding coat. In the hunting grounds, I will definitely take first place! "

"Yes sir!"

On the way back to the Moon Palace, Hua Mujiao was humming a song, his mood exceptionally good.

The green bamboo, on the other hand, became more and more ignorant of the allegory of the flower, hibiscus, sending cloth to Wei Hanshuang, but did not dare to ask.

Just as they were about to reach the palace, a person suddenly appeared in front of them, blocking Hua Mujiao's path.

"Your subordinate greets esteemed wangfei …"

Hua Mujiao's expression immediately darkened as she stared at the guard bowing in front of her.

After sizing him up, she let out a cold laugh and asked, "You're grandson Chu?"

"In reply to the Empress, it is indeed your subordinate."

After a long while, Hua Mujiao didn't let the guard stand up. She turned around and instructed the green bamboo, "Green Bamboo, go wait in front."

After the green bamboo had left, Hua Mu Jin smirked and asked, "Speak, why are you looking for me?"

His grandson was a guard in the empress dowager's palace, and he was also the man who had been involved with Mu Qiu.

Hua Mujiao did not have the slightest bit of good will towards him.

"I've come presumptuously because this subordinate has a matter to request of Imperial Concubine Xi."

Her grandson, Chu, respectfully pleaded with her. This was something Hua Mujiao didn't expect.

Everyone in the palace knew her relationship with the empress dowager, and that they couldn't tolerate each other. Not to mention that her grandson Chu was one of the empress dowager's guards, which was even more inconceivable.

"Begging me? Did Guard Sun find the wrong person? As a popular person by the empress dowager's side, he should've gone to the empress dowager's side for a favor. Why would he come to this empress dowager? "

Although Hua Mu Jin's words were sarcastic, she was still a bit worried.

Since his grandson Chu would come and beg him, then this matter must be related to Mu Qiu.

"Imperial Concubine Xi doesn't like this subordinate, this subordinate knows this very well. "But I ask that esteemed wangfei, bearing in mind esteemed wangfei's and your sisterhood, go to the Eternal Music Palace and have a look. esteemed wangfei has not stepped out of the palace for quite some time, and this subordinate has been able to avoid you a few times as well."

Hearing his grandson's words, Hua Mujiao frowned.

Because too many things had happened recently, she didn't have the time to care about other things. Counting her and Mu Qiu, they hadn't seen each other in nearly half a month.

"Guard Sun, since you're one of the empress dowager's guards, then do your duty as a guard. The imperial concubine isn't someone you should provoke."

After speaking, Hua Mujiao was about to leave, but she stopped after taking two steps. She turned around and said to her grandson Chu in an ice-cold voice, "Grandson Chu, I'm warning you, stay far away from Mu Qiu!"

As he watched Hua Mujiao's receding figure, his grandson Chu Feng's face held a trace of guilt. And this guilt was directed towards Mu Qiu.

Although she didn't like her grandson, Hua Mujiao still worried about Mu Qiu in her heart. Her original intention to return to the palace was dispelled, and she turned to head towards the Everlasting Palace.

Within the Eternal Music Palace.

"Empress, this servant begs you. Please eat. If you don't, your body will collapse."

At the side of the bed, Cherry was holding a meal as she tried to persuade Mu Qiu, who was lying on the bed with a haggard expression.

Ever since Hua Mu Jin had sent Mu Qiu back to the Eternal Music Palace, Mu Qiu hadn't had a proper meal. Even if it was his three meals a day, he would only eat a small mouthful.

Cherry was extremely worried by Mu Qiu's state.

"I have no appetite, take it out!" Mu Qiu seemed to be unwilling to pay any attention to Cherry as he softly replied before turning around to face the bed.

Seeing this, Cherry became even more anxious.

She knelt on the ground, crying as she advised, "Empress, this servant begs you. Can you please just eat a bit?" These days you have been in the palace every day, and you have not even taken a step outside the door of the palace. At this rate, your body will not be able to bear it. Even if you have something on your mind, you can't take it out on yourself, esteemed …

Even though Cherry Blossom was begging her with all her might, Mu Qiu no longer cared about her.

When Cherry raised her head and saw Mu Qiu lying down without a word, she moved her lips in an attempt to persuade him again, but was interrupted by a eunuch who suddenly barged in.
