Even though she understood the mockery in his words, Hua Mujiao did not get angry. Instead, her smile became even wider.

"Yes, that's right, I am indeed not the Queen now! However, there is one thing that I should know better than Prime Minister Zuo, and that is this subject is this subject, and should never think of riding on master's head! " In the last sentence, Hibiscus vulgaris said almost every word.

After pausing for a moment, he continued, "If I am not mistaken, Prime Minister Zuo was not only disrespectful to me, he was also haughty when he spoke to the Emperor. Prime Minister Zuo, may I ask, as your official, what is the crime of disrespecting the Emperor? This, is probably taboo! "

His bright eyes seemed to carry spikes that caused the Left Prime Minister to feel uneasy.

He didn't think that Hua Mujie would be so sharp-tongued. His face was dark as he angrily said, "This subject only spoke to you, isn't Imperial Concubine Xi's crime a bit too severe? I believe all the ministers present here … "

Before the Prime Minister could finish his words, Hua Mujiao suddenly opened his mouth and interrupted him.

"Prime Minister Zuo is pestering us with his words. The auspicious time of our journey is probably going to be delayed, isn't it? "If we missed the auspicious hour and something happened in the hunting grounds, we would be fine. But if the Emperor was injured because of this, will Prime Minister Zuo be able to bear the responsibility?"

The ancient people paid a lot of attention to the auspicious era. This flower hibiscus was very clear.

The timing of their departure for the hunt had been calculated half a year ahead of schedule. The auspicious time of their departure from the palace had also been meticulously calculated by the masters within the temple.

And that was what Hua Mujiao had used to completely render the Prime Minister speechless.

"This, this subject …"

Indeed, Prime Minister Zuo was intimidated by Hua Mujiao's words. He opened his mouth, but didn't know how to reply.

Right at this moment, Wei Hanshuang suddenly walked up and bowed. "Your majesty, I presume Prime Minister Zuo has no intention of delaying the auspicious time, and I believe he has no intention of disrespecting Your Majesty either. The time of departure has come, and the Emperor must not delay his departure for such a small matter. "

Glancing at Wei Hanshuang, Hua Mujiao finally remembered that this Left Prime Minister was Wei Hanshuang's father.

He had heard that the prime minister had the support of the empress dowager. Not only did he look down on everyone else, he didn't even put Bai Zhan Ke in his eyes. He often went against Bai Zhan Ke in front of the ministers and officials of the court.

"Your majesty, it's getting late. It's time to depart."

Wei Hanshuang suddenly stood up to help the Left Prime Minister out of his predicament.

Bai Zhan Ke said softly to Eunuch Zhang at the side as he pushed Hua Mujiao inside, and he himself also entered the dragon sedan.

After Zhang Quan De shouted 'Let's go', the vast army finally started to move forward.

"Why did you push me? "That Left Premier obviously doesn't think of you as his majesty. Since Wei Hanshuang came out to help him out, I was even planning to make Wei Hanshuang lose face." After being pushed into the dragon carriage by Bai Zhan Ke, Hua Mujiao was extremely unhappy.

At this moment, Bai Zhan Ke looked at Hua Mujiao with a smile on his face, as if he was very satisfied with her words and actions. He couldn't help but size her up.

"This Emperor finally knows what it means to be a woman and a lowly person that are difficult to raise."

Hua Mujiao narrowed her eyes as she stared at the white battleship.

"What do you mean? You mean I'm a villain? I was the one who helped you just now. What a dog-eat-dog Lü Dongbin, you truly don't know how to appreciate good intentions! "

Bai Zhan Ke reached out his hand and held Hua Mujiao's hand, then pulled her back to his side lovingly.

"The empress dowager single-handedly promoted Prime Minister Zuo. There will always be someone who accepts him. You can't compare him to personally making a move."

"Hmph …" Hearing that, Hua Mu Jin let out a cold snort, and her face revealed a disdainful expression, "That's all, you're making him embarrassed? I'm not done yet! "

On the way from the palace to the southern suburbs, they passed by the city on South Street. The guards had already cleared South Street early in the morning.

Hua Mu Jin lifted the curtain and saw that the shops on both sides of the street were tightly shut.

"Isn't this trip of yours a bit too grand?" At the very least, we should let those merchants open their businesses normally. After they've sealed off the streets, won't that affect their business? "

Listening to Hua Mujiao's words, Bai Zhan glanced at the street outside through the curtain that Hua Mujiao had opened, and then said in a low voice, "If you don't clean the street, it's hard to avoid people inserting killers into the people. I'm not that worried, I'm just afraid that I might hurt you."

"…"

The drum cheek, flower hibiscus heart is not happy, small face all tensed up.

However, when he thought about it again, it seemed that the ancient emperors were all like this.

"What do you mean afraid of me getting hurt? "You clearly want to throw dirty water on me …"

Before Hua Mujiao could finish her words, the dragon carriage suddenly stopped, and a wave of noise came from outside.

She was a little surprised, "Did something happen outside? Don't tell me there's a killer trying to kill you? "

Bai Zhan Ke shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand.

As for this matter of joining in the fun, Hibiscus Blossom was still very interested. He pushed the curtain aside and asked, "What happened? Why did you stop?"

At this time, Pearl and Zhang Dequan, who had been closely following the dragon palanquin, came forward.

"Niangniang, there seems to be someone blocking our way. General Shangguan has gone to take care of it. We should be able to continue on our journey soon." Zhang Quan De replied respectfully, but his body was trembling unnaturally, as if he was afraid.

"Bring me there to take a look."

There was actually someone who dared to obstruct the Emperor's dragon palanquin in broad daylight. This instantly piqued Hua Mujiao's interest towards that person.

"Esteemed Empress, this … this cannot be tolerated. What if the assassin hurts you? This …"

Seeing that Zhang Quan De was cowering, Hua Mujiao turned her head and said a few words to Bai Zhan Ke.

"I'll go take a look. You won't deny me permission, right?"

As soon as she finished speaking, without the permission of Bai Zhan Ke, Hua Mujiao used her movement technique and stepped on the horse's back, flying straight to the front of the group.

"Your Majesty, esteemed wangfei …" Seeing Hua Mu Jin leave, Zhang De Quan was extremely nervous.

Turning his head, he saw Bai Zhan Ke's dark expression and said, "Let her be!"

Suddenly, Zhang De Quan stopped worrying about the punishment.

When she arrived at the front of the group, Hua Mujiao saw a man who was covered in blood, lying on the ground with many knife wounds on his body. He was on the verge of death. Shangguan Yi, on the other hand, poked the man's head with a sword, as if confirming that the man was still breathing.

"Shangguan Yi, don't you have any sense of camaraderie? You're injured to such an extent, and yet you're stabbing yourself in the head with your sword!"

Seeing this, Hua Mujie landed from the horse and kicked Shangguan Yi's sword away with her foot. Then she squatted down and stretched out her hand to touch the man's nose.

"There seems to still be some life left. Come, someone, Doctor Xuan, come and take a look."

However, no guard responded to Hua Mujiao's words.

All the surrounding guards turned to look at Shangguan Yi, waiting for her to nod before they went to Doctor Xuan.

Hua Mujiao looked at it, "What are you all standing there for? Do you dare to disobey even my orders? "

After a moment of hesitation, Shangguan Yi nodded and walked up to look at Hua Mujiao.

"You don't even know who he is, you just want to save him. What if he's an assassin?"

"That shouldn't be the case. The assassin is injured like this, to be able to survive is already pretty good. Do we still need to count on him to kill us?" "I'll save him first. If he really is an assassin, I'll chop him off later."

As soon as Hua Mujiao finished speaking, the imperial physician ran over with the medicine box.

After some inspection, the imperial physician replied, "Empress, this person has several swords in his body and has lost too much blood. I'm afraid it will be very difficult to treat him."

Frowning, Hua Mujiao looked at the man's face, which was covered in blood, and sighed.

"Men, bring him to my palanquin. Try to save him. See if you can save him."

"This …"

The imperial physician looked at Shangguan Yi, a little embarrassed, not daring to agree.

Hua Mujie asked, "What? "My orders aren't even worth a nod from General Shangguan?"

No matter what, she was still a concubine, so how could these people ignore her?

Could it be that she didn't even have the authority to issue orders with her status?

"Men, carry this man onto the palanquin." After a long silence, Shangguan Yi gave the order.

Moreover, his order was much more useful than Hua Mujiao's. As soon as he finished speaking, the guard immediately lifted the man.

"This person does not look simple. To be able to hold his breath despite being hit by several swords, he must be a fugitive from the martial arts world. Are you sure you want to save him?" Shangguan Yi asked abruptly when he saw Hua Mu Jin stand up.

"Save? Why didn't you save him?"

Hua Mu Jin retorted with a question. She looked up at Shangguan Yi and continued, "Didn't they say that saving a person's life is better than creating a seven-layered pagoda? "Consider this as me giving you the virtue of constantly fighting and killing, so that you won't lose eighteen levels of hell in the future. You have to thank me!"

"…"

Seeing Shangguan Yi's speechless appearance, Hua Mujiao's heart felt extremely comfortable.

She stuck out her tongue playfully at Shangguan Yi, tapped the guard on the tip of her feet, and used her qinggong to return to the sedan chair.

"Done?"

Bai Zhan Ke asked as soon as he lifted the curtain.

Sitting in the palanquin, Hua Mujie nodded, "Yes, I saved a person. Shangguan Yi said that that person could be a fugitive in the martial arts world. I don't think so, though. "

Seeing that Hua Mujie was so happy, Bai Zhan stretched out his hand to touch her head.

"Shangguan Yi has always had good judgement of people. Since he said he was a fugitive, then there's a high chance that he is. This person, don't stay by your side. Just wait until he recovers and then let him leave. "

Astonished, she stared at Shangguan Yi. Hua Mujiao didn't expect him to have such trust in Shangguan Yi.

"Who cares who he is. I do not plan on keeping people by my side. Moreover, it is unknown whether or not I will be able to save them. "

As she said this, Hua Mu Jin paused and yawned.

"I'm going to sleep for a while. Wake me up when we get there."

"Yes."

Hua Mujiao wanted to lean on her for a moment, but she suddenly reached out and grabbed her hand, causing her to rest her head on his knees. She was also able to lie comfortably on the cushion.

This action caused Hua Mu Jin's heart to pound wildly like a little deer, and her original sleepiness also disappeared at this very moment.

The southern outskirts of the city wasn't too far away from the south street, but the line was quite long. After an hour and a half, they finally arrived at the hunting grounds.
