"I didn't agree when Uncle asked for an official. "After that, you know full well how many things Uncle did to harm himself and others. Don't make things difficult for your daughter, if I plead for mercy, I'll definitely provoke displeasure from the Emperor. This harem will probably be even harder to deal with."

"But, did our Qian Family end up getting killed by that woman just like that?" Xin Er, no matter what, mother can't take this lying down. "

Madam Ye could not bear to see this, but she knew the difficulty of this situation.

Once she entered the palace, she was as deep as the sea, not to mention that her daughter was not yet favored.

"Mother, don't worry. Uncle treats me like his own daughter. I will remember the Qian Family's enmity in my heart. It's getting late, I'll get someone to send you back. "

Seeing that Madam Ye had calmed down, Ye Laixin's tone became much more gentle.

Madam Ye stopped crying and looked at her daughter, a hint of regret on her face.

"Xin'er, mother has let you down. I originally wanted to marry you to a good home, but I never thought that you would be pushed into a pit of fire. Now that the empress dowager and the emperor are opposing each other, and your father follows her lead, you must feel uncomfortable being stuck in the middle, right? "

Madam Ye's words struck a deep chord in Ye Laixin's heart.

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

"Mom, I'm fine. "When you go back, remember to remind father so that he can be more obedient. Other than the empress dowager's people, no one knows if the next to be eliminated will be the Ye Clan."

"Your father understands, but …"

With that, Madam Ye suddenly stopped talking and sighed, "Oh, Xin'er, it's been hard on you."

Deep in the night, the enormous Imperial Palace was like an empty city, unusually quiet. The palace, with the exception of the guards who were patrolling the night, and the palace maids who were in charge of the lamps, was almost completely silent.

At the Hibiscus Temple, Bai Zhan Ke sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the peacefully sleeping Hibiscus Blossom. He stretched out a hand to caress her face, his eyes filled with love.

Dong, dong …

Knocking sounds came from outside the door.

However, Bai Zhan Ke didn't take his eyes off Hua Mu Jin's face.

He then bent down and kissed her on the forehead, then stood up and walked out of the palace.

"What is it?"

Outside the hall, Nan Ge was standing respectfully. "Mistress, there is a secret letter from the border. General Shangguan is waiting for you in the royal study."

Just as Bai Zhan Ke and Nan Ge were leaving, a palace maid walked out of the hall and lightly pushed open the door of the palace.

On the bed, Hua Mu Jin, who had just opened her eyes, closed them again.

Hearing the light footsteps of the person approaching, he subconsciously felt that something was wrong.

As the sound of footsteps got closer, Hua Mu Jin's hands, which were hidden under the blanket, tightened into fists.

Feeling someone sitting on the edge of the bed, she stood up abruptly and crossed her hands with the palace maid.

However, when she clearly saw the appearance of the palace maid, Hua Mu Jin was completely stunned on the spot.

"Woman, why are you getting more and more ruthless? If I wasn't agile, wouldn't I have taken a heavy punch from you?"

Seeing the white feathers that were dressed in palace maids' clothes and dressed like a woman, Hua Mu Jin frowned.

"Bai Lingyu, are you sick?" Stealthily sneaking into the palace dressed up as you are, what kind of tricks are you trying to pull? "

As she sized up the white feathers dressed in the palace maid attire, Hua Mujiao couldn't help but sigh in her heart. When this man became beautiful, it was as expected, as expected, a woman's business.

Bai Lingyu laughed softly when she heard this. Then, she sat down at the table.

He poured himself a cup of tea and said, "I heard that you were tied up by the young master of the Qian House when you left the Palace. I was just worried about you. I just came to take a look."

"…"

Hua Mujiao did not believe that Bai Lingyu had dressed up like this just to see if she was alright.

"What has it got to do with you? "Before I call anyone, leave quickly. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."

After drinking a mouthful of tea, Bai Linyu's gaze shifted, looking at the deep face of Hua Mu Jin. The smile on her face disappeared.

"In your eyes, This King is truly like a flood and ferocious beast that you fear so much?"

Fear?

Hua Mu Jin sneered in her heart, and took two steps forward, "Bai Ling Yu, did you get the wrong idea? I have never been afraid of you. "

A trace of self-mockery flashed across Bai Lingyu's face.

He stood up, walked up to Hua Mujiao and met her gaze.

"Since you have never been afraid of me before, then why do you need to be so anxious to chase This King away? Since This King is dressed like this and wants to see you, you should at least keep This King for a drink of tea. "

"Bai Ling Yu's proximity makes Hua Mu Jin extremely uncomfortable.

He moved over to the table and sat down.

"You seem to have drunk your tea just now. Even if you have already drunk, why should I keep you here? "

As she spoke, Hua Mu Jin smirked and sized Bai Ling Yu up. She then continued to speak, "It's just that I didn't expect that the dignified king of the Huan Yue Country would actually have a habit of dressing up like a woman. I am very curious. If this matter were to spread out, would you, your highness, not even dare to step out of the Prince's Mansion's door? "

Carefully looking at the white feathers, Hua Mujiao suddenly thought of the word 'female big boss'.

A grown man in a woman's outfit and looking like that made her want to laugh a little.

Thinking this, the corners of Hua Mu Jin's mouth slightly raised.

Seeing that Hua Mu Jin had restrained her hostility towards him, Bai Ling Yu went up and sat in front of her.

She raised her eyebrows and chuckled, "So what if I wear women's clothing back for you? As long as you smile, This King can be considered to be worth it. "

"…"

Hua Mujiao was speechless as he put away the smile on his face.

Putting aside the fact that Bai Zhan Ke and Bai Ling Yu were opposing each other, she actually felt that Bai Ling Yu was not that detestable.

"Abnormal!" "Speak, why are you looking for me?"

Staring at the hibiscus, Bai Linyu retorted, "Do I have to find you because there's something I need to do?"

Hearing that, Hua Mu Jin's brows rose, the light in her eyes deepened, "Are you alright? It's nothing. You came to my palace dressed like this, were you stupid? "

Sighing lightly, Bai Linyu shook her head, picked up the cup that she had just drunk, and took another sip of tea.

"You think This King is willing? I've heard that he has announced for the imperial doctors to take a look at your body. If he didn't have too many hidden guards, Ben Wang wouldn't have come here dressed like this and even got laughed at by you. "

Judging from Bai Lingyu's expression, it seemed that she wasn't lying to him.

However, Hua Mu Jin still couldn't believe that this man in front of her was only here to check if she was alright, so he gave up his dignity as a man and wore the clothes of a woman.

However, the bad impression that Bai Lingyu had given her had long since been planted in her heart.

"I'm doing very well. I don't need you to look at me." "I'm tired, you can go."

Standing up, Hua Mu Jin didn't want to talk to him anymore, so she went straight to the bed and lay down.

"You are also the first woman to be so heartless to this king. However, this king likes it more and more. Back then when I sent you to the palace, it was really the biggest mistake this king ever made. "

After hearing Bai Ling Yu's voice, Hua Mu Jin didn't reply.

Of course, she had suffered losses from Bai Lingyu several times before, so it was naturally impossible for her to not be on her guard.

Only, this time, Bai Ling Yu really didn't do anything to her.

"Looks like you really do not like This King. Since that's the case, you can rest." After he finished speaking, Bai Linyu stood up and walked out of the palace while glancing at the hibiscus flower on the bed.

Turning around, she looked at the closed doors of the hall and thought for a while.

Bai Lingyu hated Bai Zhan Ke. She didn't know where the hatred between them came from, but she was certain that no matter what happened, she would stand by Bai Zhanji's side.

Elsewhere, in the royal study.

Bai Zhan Ke handed the letter to Shangguan Yi and asked, "Shangguan Yi, what do you think?"

Shangguan Yi only glanced at the secret letter for a moment before walking to the lamp and burning it to ashes.

"In a few days, you will leave for the Southern Kingdom. As soon as the Heavenly Light Empire sent their princess here for marriage, they had some strange movements. I'm afraid they want to take advantage of your departure to cause trouble for the both of us."

"If you're not here, the empress dowager will control the palace with her own hands. When the empress dowager orders Bai Lingyu to take care of the external problems, the ministers and officials will be even more prejudiced against you."

"Regarding the Southern Kingdom's national code, it would be best for you to consider it carefully before making a decision!"

Bai Zhan Ke narrowed his eyes, and the corner of his mouth curled up into a sneer.

"Since she can't wait to force me to abdicate my throne, why didn't I give her a chance?"

Shangguan Yi narrowed his eyes, seeming to understand the meaning of Bai Zhan's words.

"Could it be that you want to …"

"Yes."

Seeing the determination in Bai Zhan Ke's eyes, Shangguan Yi shook her head helplessly.

"I think you are because the Southern Kingdom is related to her life. What kind of national code is that? It's all your excuse to accompany her there. "However, this will suppress the empress dowager to the point where she won't be able to breathe. After you leave the country, she won't be able to create any waves."

Bai Zhan Ke didn't deny Shangguan Yi's words and ordered, "You handle this matter, you must complete it before you leave the country."

"Understood."

After Shangguan Yi left the royal study, a petite woman walked out from the side.

The woman stepped forward and took Bai Zhan's hand.

"Although I don't know what you're planning on doing, I do know a bit about it after listening to your conversation with General Shangguan." But I feel that it's far from enough to just cut off the empress dowager's right arm.

Bai Zhan Ke looked a bit annoyed when he was pulled by someone.

He took his hands off the table and sat down.

Bai Zhan Ke lifted his eyes and looked at the woman before him. "What do you want to do?"

Hearing this, the woman's lips curved up in a smile, half lying on the table, looking at Bai Zhan Ke.

"That's good. If I help you block the prince, you will promise me one thing. What do you think?"

After a long time, Bai Zhan Ke neither nodded nor shook his head.

A trace of guilt flashed across Bai Zhan Ke's face as he fixed his eyes on the woman.

"You don't have to be involved in this matter."

Upon hearing this, the woman became somewhat unhappy.

He pouted and said unhappily: "What do you mean I don't have to participate? Ever since I entered your harem, I've been unable to leave it. "I don't care, I just want to help you. If I really get in the way of the prince, you will owe me one more favor. You must agree to my conditions."

With a frown, Bai Zhan Ke scolded in a low voice, "Stop messing around!"

"Who's messing with you? [I said I will help you, but even if you don't want me to, I will help you!] You just wait for my good news. "
