"…"
The words of Bai Zhan Ke could be considered as a heavy blow to Nangong Qian Hua.
She did not expect Bai Zhan Ke to say that.
He was slightly aggrieved in his heart.
"Even if Big Bro Zhan has issued an order, there's no need for her to take care of it. However, Big Bro Zhan, you can't protect her when she makes a move against a thousand flowers." After all, the position of Thousand Blossom was higher than her. Even if you pampered her, she shouldn't break the rules of the harem and climb onto the head of the Thousand Flower. "
"We've even issued an order, without her permission, no one is allowed to enter or leave the Hibiscus Temple!"
The cold words that came out of Bai Zhan Ke's mouth caused Nangong Qian Hua's heart to turn cold by more than half.
The grievance in his heart transformed into rage.
"Big brother Zhan, she's so good, why are you pampering her so much? You even went to her Hibiscus Palace for the wedding yesterday. Do you really have the heart to make Qian Hua the joke of the entire Imperial Palace? "
Tears welled up in his eyes. He had come to find Bai Zhan Ke and ask her to help him, but he never expected Bai Zhan Ke to speak up for Hua Mu Jin.
"Stop messing around. We still have matters to take care of. Get out."
"Big brother Zhan, you …"
Tears rolled down her face. Nangong Qianhua's heart was filled with endless hatred towards Hua Mu Jin.
"Big brother Zhan, you've changed. You clearly said that you would be good to Qian Hua." That year, Qian Hua had risked her life to block a sword attack for you, and she almost lost her life on the spot. "Because of that strike, the thousand flowers will still …"
The more she said it, the more wronged Nangong Qianhua became. Unable to stop her tears from streaming down her face.
Bai Zhan Ke frowned and squinted his eyes. He was a bit disgusted.
"Servants, send Imperial Consort Yi back to Zhao He Palace."
Since he wasn't willing to speak any further with Nangong Qian Hua, Bai Zhan Ke immediately ordered his men to send her back.
"Big brother Zhan, because of you, Qian Hua can be considered a cripple for the rest of her life. You can't treat me like this."
The attitude of Bai Zhan Ke caused Nangong Qian Hua to almost go crazy.
"From now on, don't go to the Hibiscus Courtyard, and don't provoke her."
Seeing that Zhang Quan De wanted to invite her out, the hatred in Nangong Qian Hua's heart was shifted once again to Hua Mu Jin.
"Ho … Big Brother Zhan, because if you said you would treat Qian Hua well, Qian Hua would wait ten years for you. You treat me like this without any guilt in your heart?"
Nangong Qianhua was invited out of the royal study, and her hatred for him deepened.
When the door of the royal study was closed, Shangguan Yi walked out from behind the bookshelves, looking at the white war cry with a meaningful look.
"So I heard something that I shouldn't have heard?" Tell me, what's with that 'cripple for life' she spoke of? "
Shangguan Yi had always been curious about Bai Zhan Ke.
And most of the time, even if he didn't ask, Bai Zhan Ke would still tell him.
Only, he mentioned very little about his five years as a proton in the Skylaurel Kingdom.
"Her legs aren't as healthy as you think."
"What?"
The words that came out of Bai Zhan Ke's mouth completely stunned Shangguan Yi.
That was because the way he saw it, Nangong Qianhua had never displayed any sort of reaction when she was walking. As such, how could she possibly not be healthy?
On the other side, after leaving the Imperial Study, Nangong Qian Lai cried as she walked. Finally, she found a pavilion in the Imperial Garden and sat down.
"Princess, don't cry anymore. Although this servant doesn't know what happened, this servant will feel sorry for you if you cry like this."
Wiping the tears for Shangguan Chui, his face was full of heartache.
"Cry, can I not cry? Big brother Zhan was completely enchanted by that seductive woman, Hua Mujiao. I don't understand, what's so good about her? Why does it seem like everyone is protecting her. Since young, I have never suffered such injustice. "
"Princess, this servant understands that you have been wronged, but you cannot be angered by her into a muddle." Your status is high, and your position is above hers. In the future, there will be plenty of ways to take care of her, don't you think? "
After persuading Nangong Qianhua, a peculiar expression appeared on Paojiao's face.
Then, he continued, "Princess, have you forgotten that there is someone else in the harem that can help you make decisions?"
When she stopped crying, Nangong Qianhua raised her head to look at Peony and asked, "Who?"
"Oh empress dowager, the empress dowager is your aunt, and also someone with great authority in the harem. If you go find the empress dowager, I'm sure the empress dowager will make the decision for you."
When the empress dowager was brought out by the peony, Nangong Qianhua was a little hesitant.
She clearly knew what it meant to take the initiative to look for the empress dowager.
"Even though the empress dowager has a high position of authority, if I go find her, wouldn't that mean I've listened to my father and colluded with the empress dowager? If big brother Zhan were to know about this, he would definitely hate me. "
"Princess, there's no need to worry. You're just looking for the empress dowager to uphold justice for you. It's not for any other reason." Besides, didn't no one know of the Emperor's orders? As long as this servant doesn't say anything, only the princess and empress dowager are aware, aren't they? "
With a frown, Nangong Qianhua stared straight at Peony. He wanted to see what she had on her face.
However, the result made her disappointed.
"Peony, why do I feel that you're acting so weird today? It seems like you really want me to go find the empress dowager."
Nangong Qianhua was unable to contain herself and directly asked.
Hearing these words, Peony immediately kneeled on the ground and explained.
"Princess, you've misunderstood me. I've been by your side for so many years, but I've never seen you suffer so much. I just feel that in this Huan Yue Country, it's not like in the Tian Guang Country, Princess still needs someone to support her justice."
Peony explained, her voice choked, almost to the point of crying.
"Alright, get up. I didn't say anything."
Reaching out to help the peony, Nangong Qianhua carefully thought about what she had said.
"However, what you said isn't unreasonable. In the eyes of others, I'm related to the empress dowager. Even if I were to look for her, other people wouldn't be able to say much."
"Princess is wise."
Feeling helpless, Nangong Qianhua still went to the empress dowager's side.
At this moment, the empress dowager was lying on the chaise longue of the Dew Palace, letting the palace maids knead her legs.
"Esteemed Empress Dowager, Imperial Consort Yi wishes to see you."
At this moment, the eunuch walked into the palace and reported respectfully.
The empress dowager's lips quirked into a smile. "Announcement."
"Yes."
Slowly walking into the Dew Palace, Nangong Qianhua respectfully bowed towards the empress dowager. "Qian Hua pays her respects to the empress dowager. May she have a good life."
She raised her hand and stopped the palace maid who was kneading her legs. The empress dowager sat up and waggled her hand at Nangong Qian.
"Qian Hua, come over here and let This Dowager have a good look."
"Yes."
She stood up and walked over with a smile on her face.
The empress dowager stretched out her hand and grabbed onto Nangong Qianhua's hand, her face full of love and love. "Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu
"Your appearance is somewhat similar to your royal father. This one did not even have you when I left the State of Heaven's Light. Now that I have met you, I feel a bit closer to you. "
"It's been almost thirty years since the empress dowager left Tianzhao City. At that time, the mufei of Thousand Flowers has yet to enter the palace, so even when Thousand Flowers sees the empress dowager, she feels very close to her."
In front of the empress dowager, Nangong Qianhua tried her best to act docile and obedient.
"Good child, come, sit by my side."
Hearing the empress dowager's words, Nangong Qianhua sat down next to her.
Because of Emperor Tianzhao, before meeting with the empress dowager, Nangong Qianhua had always been afraid of her.
But now, the Empress Dowager's kindness made her feel at ease.
"Are you used to living in this palace? If there is anything lacking, remember to send someone to tell This Dowager that This Dowager will send someone to prepare it for you. Also, don't call me empress dowager. Call me aunt, and I'll be kind to you too. "
"Yes, too, Aunt."
At this moment, Nangong Qianhua did not have any wariness towards the empress dowager. Instead, she felt that this so-called aunt was very kind and affectionate.
"In reply to aunty, Qian Hua is still used to living here, so it's not lacking anything. It's just that there are some people in the harem that Qian Hua doesn't like."
"What happened? Who made you angry? Say it, and This Dowager will teach her a lesson for you. "
The empress dowager's expression towards Nangong Qianhua was similar to a mother's love for her daughter.
Hearing the empress dowager's words, the grievances in Nangong Qianhua's heart increased.
"Aunt, I'm sure you've heard about what happened last night. Qian Hua has already become the joke in the palace. That Imperial Concubine Xi is too infuriating. With the Emperor's favor towards her, she even made a move on Qian Hua when she went to the Moon Palace today."
As she complained aggrievedly, Nangong Qianhua hoped that the empress dowager would stand up for her and teach Hua Mujiao a lesson.
However, the Empress Mother sighed with a troubled expression on her face.
"This empress heard of this matter. The emperor has indeed gone a bit overboard in his actions. But, Qian Hua, this is something that I can't decide for you. You've just arrived, and there are some things that you don't know about.
Nangong Qianhua never thought that the empress dowager would say such a thing.
It was as if she could hear the Empress Dowager's helplessness in her words.
"Aunt, is that Empress Xi really that amazing? Even you can't do anything to her.
Nangong Qianhua asked straightforwardly, but the empress dowager could only shake her head and sigh.
"There are some things you don't understand, but you should have heard that Empress Xi is favored by the Emperor. Not to mention that she can act against you in broad daylight, she doesn't even care about This Dowager." Ever since she became the Consort, she did not come to the Dew Palace even once to pay her respects.
Nangong Qianhua did not believe the empress dowager's words.
One had to know that the empress dowager wasn't just someone who held a high position in the imperial harem; even the emperor had to pay his respects to her.
It was hard to believe that Her Majesty had said that she had suffered quite a bit from Hibiscus vulgaris.
"How could that be possible? Aunt, your status is noble, and she's just a small concubine. How could she dare to put on airs for you?"
"Forget it, let's not talk about this. We're worried about something." Come, tell This Dowager about the changes in the State of Heaven, how is your royal father doing? "
Seeing that the empress dowager wasn't willing to mention it, Nangong Qianhua didn't think it was appropriate to say anything more.
He then told Her Majesty a lot of things about the State of Heaven, and only left at noon.
"Empress Dowager, this old servant doesn't understand. Since the princess has come, why didn't you ask her about Tianzhao's orders?"
After Nangong Qianhua left, the empress dowager dismissed all of the palace maids, leaving behind her personal mama by her side.
The corners of his mouth curled up into a sneer.
Her Majesty touched the jade plate on her thumb and opened her mouth.
"This girl has a very fierce temper. Right now, she's wholeheartedly thinking about His Majesty. Only by letting her suffer from the humiliation at Hua Mujiao's place and the grievance at the emperor's place can she be of use to This Dowager."
"The empress dowager is wise, this old servant is dull. This old servant finally understands why the empress dowager would send someone to spread what happened last night, making her a laughing stock in the palace. "
