Light shone through the windows of the palace.

Because the hibiscus had suddenly caught a fever, and this time the hunt had encountered an assassin, Bai Zhan Ke gave the order, and the hunt came to an end. When the hibiscus woke up, they left for the palace.

When Hua Mu Jin woke up, it was already late.

"You're awake? Do you feel better? "

Opening her eyes, Hua Mujie saw that the person was fighting a battle to the death.

Hearing his question, Hua Mujiao felt heavy and light, as if a huge rock was pressing down on her head, causing her to be unable to catch her breath.

"Fortunately, what time is it now?"

Reaching out to rub her head, Hua Mujiao felt the heat on her forehead burn her hand.

"Not yet. I have already ordered someone to prepare a dragon sedan. Since you have woken up, let's head back to the palace."

As he spoke, Bai Zhan bent down and lifted the blanket covering Hua Mujie, lifting her up in his arms.

"Return to the palace?"

"Yes, I'm returning to the palace."

After being carried onto the dragon palanquin, Hua Mujiao lay on the soft cushion, her body feeling increasingly weak.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he forced himself to ask, "Where are the pearls? "What about Pearl's body?"

Ye Zichen gave Hua Mujiao a comforting smile, then sat down in the dragon carriage as well.

"I have already arranged for someone to stay in your palanquin. When we return, Luo Chen will take care of her."

Feeling relieved, Hua Mujiao smiled at Bai Zhankui. "Thank you."

Because they were in a hurry to return to the palace, the guards had no time to clean up the street. The clamorous voices of the people outside the palanquin rose up one after another.

The words that Hua Mujiao heard the most were the people talking about Prime Minister Zuo trying to rebel. She had also heard that Shangguan Yi had found a set of dragon robes from the secret chamber of the Prime Minister's estate.

However, Hua Mujiao felt that no matter how bold and arrogant the Prime Minister was, he probably wouldn't dare to hide the dragon robe in the mansion, right?

"That dragon robe, did you send someone to hide in the Prime Minister's Estate first?"

On the dragon sedan, Hibiscus vulgaris raised her head and looked at the white battle cry.

"No, Shangguan Yi brought them in when she was searching."

"…"

Hearing this, Hua Mu Jin frowned.

Isn't this a bit too unprofessional?

"Then what are you going to do with the Wei family?"

As she asked, Hua Mu Jin suddenly remembered what Green Bamboo had said before, that her little brother had been imprisoned somewhere by Wei Hanshuang. Since Prime Minister Zuo had been searched, there should be the whereabouts of little brother Green Bamboo.

"Oh, by the way, can you help me ask Shangguan Yi if she saw a little boy when he was searching the Prime Minister's estate. It was Green Bamboo's little brother, who was being held captive by Wei Hanshuang."

He turned his head and looked straight at Hua Mujie.

"Do you care so much about your personal palace maid?"

She rolled her eyes, then shook her head and sighed.

"Are you jealous of this? "Help me ask first. If there is, I'll let Green Bamboo and her little brother reunite with me later on."

"I heard from the person Shangguan Yi sent to report that there was indeed a ten-year-old boy. We'll help you confirm it after we return to the palace."

As she smiled and pursed her lips, Hua Mu Jin's heart warmed.

Even though Bai Zhan Ke was usually cold, she had always thought that she wouldn't fall for such a man, especially an ancient man. Therefore, she had subconsciously refused to marry and like him.

But this time, he sacrificed himself to block the arrow. At that moment, she was extremely afraid that she would lose him.

The fear of losing him almost plunged her into the abyss of darkness, as if without him there would be no light.

"That's good. I'll go to sleep first. Call me when I get there."

Her heavy body was completely exhausted, and Hua Mu Jin quickly fell asleep again.

Even when they arrived at the Imperial Palace, she showed no signs of waking up.

When she woke up again, she found that she was already lying on the bed in the Hibiscus Courtyard, and beside her was the green bamboo that was holding medicine.

"Empress, you've finally woken up. When you were carried back by the emperor, you frightened this servant. This servant thought … "

Putting down the medicine bowl in his hand, the green bamboo helped Hua Mu Jin up.

"I'm fine, don't scare yourself. "What time is it now? Why is it so dark?"

"It's almost the Hai hour. Your highness, please drink the medicine first. Your servant will bring you some food later."

After feeding the hibiscus and drinking the medicine, the green bamboo suddenly thought of the pearl and asked, "Empress, why is the pearl not back yet?"

Hua Mujiao's eyes dimmed, and his eyes once again became moist.

Because Hibiscus Blossom never woke up, and because she was directly carried back by Bai Zhan Ke, even if she didn't see the pearl, the green bamboo still wouldn't dare to ask Bai Zhan Ke.

"Pearl is dead."

With a low voice, the flower hibiscus when mentioned the pearl, the heart is very uncomfortable.

"Boom …"

The medicine bowl in her hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. The green bamboo hurriedly knelt down to pick up the broken fragments, but the medicine bowl cut her finger.

"This servant didn't mean to break it. I hope that the Empress can forgive me."

Seeing the green bamboo that couldn't believe that the pearl had already died, Hua Mujie sat on the edge of the bed and helped her up.

"Did you cut your hand?" Let me see. "

Escaping Hua Mujiao's hand, Green Bamboo placed the back of his hand behind his back.

With a bitter smile, he said, "This servant is fine. Empress, please rest first. This servant will first prepare something for you to eat."

With that, he picked up the broken medicine bowl and left the palace.

After exiting the palace, the green bamboo could no longer hold back its tears.

Originally, she had more or less heard about the news of the pearl's death. Originally, she didn't believe it, but after hearing the news from Hua Mu Jin that the pearl had died, she felt very sad.

Although they had only worked together for a short period of time, her relationship with Pearl was still quite deep.

The next day, Bai Zhan Ke sent a message asking how she wanted to bury the pearl. Hua Mujie thought for a while, and finally decided to set the pearl on fire.

Although she knew this was not in accordance with the rules of the palace, she still did so.

When she returned to the Imperial Palace, the hibiscus had already retreated from the fever. Although her body was still somewhat tired, this didn't affect her from leaving the palace.

Huan Yue Country, Sky Prison.

Hibiscus dressed in plain clothes, led the pearl into the damp and dark prison.

The Sky Prison was a place to imprison felons. Once you entered the Sky Prison, it would be very difficult to see the light of day again, unless it was on the day you were questioned and beheaded.

Wei Hanshuang and Prime Minister Zuo were locked up here.

"Hua Mujiao, you heartless and merciless woman, you actually still have the face to come. If you have the ability to let me out, I'll fight you to the death. "

When she saw the flower, Wei Hanshuang had a head full of messy hair, her calmness and composure gone. At this moment, her face was painted with rage and madness.

Turning her head, Hua Mujiao signaled the prison guard who was leading the way with her eyes, indicating that he should open the prison door.

The guard was in a slightly difficult position. "Empress, the emperor has decreed that no one is allowed to release Imperial Concubine Ning. This subordinate truly doesn't dare to open this prison."

When Wei Hanshuang and Prime Minister Zuo were sent to the prison, Shangguan Yi had told them that no one was to see Wei Hanshuang and Prime Minister Zuo without being ordered to fight in vain.

The guard had brought in Hibiscus because she had the gold medal from White War.

"I am here on the orders of the Emperor. Could it be that you still want to defy the imperial edict?"

"This subordinate would not dare!"

As expected, the guards didn't dare to hesitate as they brought out the white battle cry and stepped forward to open the door.

Seeing the prison door being pushed open, Wei Hanshuang rushed out as if she had gone mad, wanting to pinch Mu Jin's neck.

To the side, the guard was just about to step forward when he saw Hua Mujiao kick Wei Hanshuang's stomach, and she was sent flying, crashing into the cell's wall.

Wei Hanshuang was not a practitioner to begin with, so if her kick was any heavier, it would have been enough to crush her head.

"Actually, I don't want to see you again. I've come here to ask you a few things, and if you answer truthfully, I can plead for your favor in front of the emperor to spare you the pain of being torn apart."

Sitting on the chair that the guard brought over, Hua Mujiao looked down at the fallen Wei Hanshuang, his body emitting cold air.

"Hmph, dismembered? Do you think I would be afraid? It was all thanks to your Hua Mu Jin that my Wei family fell to such a state. Even if I were to die, I, Wei Hanshuang, will never let you off. "

Angry at Hibiscus vulgaris, Wei Hanshuang spat a mouthful of blood at her.

The corners of his mouth curled up into a cold smile.

Hua Mujie only felt that before the death of this ancient people, most of their lines were like this, devoid of any new meaning.

"These words of yours have indeed reminded me. Since you aren't willing to let me go even as a ghost, then I must think of a way to prevent you from even becoming a ghost. "

Wei Hanshuang didn't think that Hua Mu Jin would say such vicious words, but from her expression, Wei Hanshuang felt that she was the type of person who would do such a thing.

"Hua Mu Jin, you evil woman, I curse you, you will die a horrible death!"

With the corner of her mouth raised, Hua Mujie suddenly stood up and walked towards Wei Hanshuang.

After that, he squatted down and coldly opened his mouth as he asked each word: "Even if I die a horrible death, you will also die in front of me. Furthermore, you will die even worse than I will! "

"You … "Haha …"

Right after Hua Mu Jin finished her sentence, Wei Hanshuang was first enraged, then she burst into laughter.

"Hua Mu Jin, do you think you can sleep peacefully after getting rid of me? The Emperor's favor has always been fickle. I presume you still don't know that a Princess of Heaven's Illumination Kingdom will come as a marriage alliance, and she is the emperor's childhood sweetheart! "

Hearing this, Hua Mu Jin's brows slightly creased.

She had never heard anyone mention this before.

"Wei Hanshuang, I don't want to waste words with you." As for the Princess of Heaven's Illustrious Country that Wei Hanshuang spoke of, Hua Mu Jin was not very interested.

What she wanted to know was whether or not Pearl's death had anything to do with Wei Hanshuang.

"I ask you, were you the one who was beaten up earlier? Pearl's death has nothing to do with you! "

Hua Mujiao carefully thought about it, if the death of the pearl had nothing to do with Bai Ling Yu, then only two people would still be suspicious.

The first was the empress dowager, and the second was Wei Hanshuang.

Upon hearing these words, Wei Hanshuang was stunned for a moment before she sneered.

"I was the one who tied her up. I'm also telling you that I was the one who planned to frame you the death of that noble person from before. Unfortunately, I was messed up by that bitch Lin Yushi. At this moment, the green bamboo behind you is also someone I have sent to your side to monitor your every move. "
