With that, the woman turned around and walked behind a bookshelf. She reached out her hand to twist the porcelain vase on the bookshelf. The originally fine bookshelf suddenly moved left and right, revealing a secret passage in front of the woman.

Just as she was about to enter the secret passage, she suddenly thought of something and withdrew her foot.

She turned around and looked at Bai Zhan Ke who was behind the table, and said: "Oh right, you and that Hua Mu Jin, don't be so bored. "Humph!"

With that, the woman directly entered the secret passage.

When her figure disappeared, the bookshelves that separated the two seemed to have never been visited by anyone before. It was extremely quiet.

After the woman left, Bai Zhan Ge didn't sit at the table for too long, he stood up and headed to the Hibiscus Palace.

When he returned to the Hibiscus Temple, the flower hibiscus had already fallen asleep.

The next day, in the morning.

"Empress, you're awake?"

"Yes."

Opening her eyes, Hua Mujie looked at the green bamboo that came in carrying water. The tiredness on her face was as if she hadn't woken up yet.

After a long while, she abruptly sat up.

Looking at Green Bamboo, he asked, "Green Bamboo, did I forget to pick you up from the General's Estate yesterday?"

Putting the basin down, Green Bamboo smiled and said, "Niangniang, you did forget, but fortunately, General Shangguan had an urgent matter to attend to last night, so he brought this servant back with him. When this servant returned, I saw that Empress had already fallen asleep, so I didn't disturb you. "

Puckering his lips, Hua Mu Jin smiled guiltily.

"Green Bamboo, I'm sorry. Too many things happened yesterday. I forgot about you."

"Hua Mu Jin's apology stunned the green bamboo. Empress, what are you talking about? "

The green bamboo twisted the handkerchief, walked up to the bed and handed it to Hua Mujiao.

"Niangniang, forgive this servant's bluntness. Yesterday, this servant thought that you didn't want this servant anymore, which was why I didn't come to the general's mansion to accept this servant. However, when the general returned to the house, he said that you had fallen into the water, which frightened this servant. "

Falling into the water?

Hua Mujie used a handkerchief to wash her face, her face filled with unhappiness, "What do you mean, you fell into the water? I was sent into the water to save her, so I decided to become a chivalrous girl! How did it get into their mouths that I accidentally fell into the water? Am I that stupid? "

"Yes, Empress, you are trying to save her in the water, and this servant said the wrong thing. Please calm your anger."

Seeing Hua Mu Jin grumbling, Green Bamboo could not help but laugh.

He took the handkerchief and turned around, his eyes turning as if he had just recalled something.

"Oh right, dozens of people from the Qian House were killed this morning. "I heard from my aunt who served tea in front of the imperial court that many ministers were talking about you in the morning assembly."

Hearing that, Hua Mu Jin's brows twitched, and asked: "You're talking about me? What did you say? "

A look of pride appeared on Green Bamboo's face.

"Of course it's to say 'Niangniang, get rid of the harm for the people'. I heard that Young Master Qian is notorious in the hearts of the commoners. Many people who wanted to sue him were dealt with in secret by Lord Qian." "When Lord Qian was beheaded today, all the commoners applauded, saying that the Empress was a living Bodhisattva."

Green Bamboo said this happily, but she didn't notice that Hua Mu Jin's expression had changed.

How could she leave the palace and let everyone know about it?

"Your servant greets Your Majesty …"

Just as Hua Mujiao was thinking, she heard the sound of the green bamboo worshipping. She raised her head and coincidentally met Bai Zhan Ke's eyes.

Walking up to Hua Mujie, Bai Zhan asked in a soft voice, "Have you eaten breakfast?"

Mu Jin pursed her lips and smiled, then shook her head.

Then, he said to Green Bamboo, "Green Bamboo, you can leave first."

"Yes, your servant will take his leave."

Seeing the grave expression on Hua Mujie's face, Bai Zhan sat on the edge of the bed and asked, "What's wrong?"

Raising her eyes, Hua Mu Jin's expression was heavy as she moved her lips.

"Why did everyone know that I left the palace yesterday?"

Bai Zhan Ke reached out his hand to stroke Hua Mu Jin's head, smoothing her slightly messy hair. His black eyes were filled with a doting expression.

"Shangguan Yi is in charge of this, don't worry."

Shangguan Yi?

Although she had said there was no need to worry, Hua Mu Jin still didn't understand Shangguan Yi's intention in doing so.

"Well, have you eaten yet? Would you like to have a bite with me? "

"Alright."

After breakfast, Bai Zhan Ke was in an exceptionally good mood. When he opened his mouth to bring Hua Mujiao out of the palace, Hua Mujiao felt as if he had misheard something, and he froze in place.

After a long time, Hua Mujiao focused on Bai Zhan, and seeing that he didn't seem to be teasing her again, she asked to confirm, "What did you just say? I didn't hear it clearly. Why don't you say it again?"

"If you don't want to, then you won't go."

It was a rare opportunity to leave the palace, so how could Hua Mu Jin miss it? Although she had just left the palace yesterday.

"No, no, no, go, I'll go. So when do we leave? I'm going to change my clothes. "

"Now."

"I can't conceal my happiness in my heart." "Alright, I'll go and change."

Standing up, Hua Mujie was about to go back to the bedroom to change, but was pulled back by Bai Zhan Ke.

"Luochen, bring the item over."

Puzzled, he stared at the White War Cake. Hua Mujie really didn't know what he was up to.

However, when she saw Luo Chen walk in with a man's outfit, she understood what he meant.

"You want me to, wear men's clothes?"

"Yes."

Bai Zhan Kui solemnly nodded his head. Hua Mujiao pursed her lips, wanting to laugh, but was also afraid that if she did, she would be ordered not to leave the palace, so she could only endure it in the end.

"Then wait here for me, I'll go change and then I'll come."

"Men's wear is troublesome, I'll help you change."

"…"

Those few words of hers had completely frozen Hua Mujiao in place.

Seeing Hua Mu Jin's defeated look, Luo Chen pursed his lips and turned his head to the side, covering his mouth as he snickered.

"I can wear that myself, so you don't have to help me. Besides, even if I don't know it, isn't there still green bamboo? Right, Green Bamboo? "

Green Bamboo was trying his best to hold back his laughter as his face turned red.

"Empress, this servant remembers that I have one more important matter to attend to that I did not mention to Qiu'er. This servant will take his leave first."

"Green Bamboo, come back! Come back!"

Green Bamboo, who had always been respectful towards him, never expected that at this moment, he would actually sell her out.

Seeing the green bamboo leave, Hibiscus vulgaris no longer had an excuse.

He rolled his eyes and was about to find another excuse, but Bai Zhan Ke simply lifted him up and carried him straight to the living room.

"You, if you let me down, I'll leave by myself."

His gaze fell on Luo Chen, who was laughing so hard that he couldn't even stand up straight. The flower wood hibiscus instantly blushed.

Yesterday's incident at the restaurant was enough to make her shy. She didn't expect that early in the morning, she would make a joke out of Luo Chen.

Hua Mujie wished she could find a hole to hide in.

As for Hua Mujiao, she changed her clothes for an entire hour. When she came out again, she looked extremely handsome in men's clothing, but she could not conceal the identity of her daughter.

"Empress, are you sick?" This subordinate sees you blushing, do you want to call the imperial physician over to take a look? "

Luo Chen seriously asked as he looked at the red flower of Hibiscus Mutabilis.

Glaring at Luo Chen, Hua Mujiao bit her lips, stepped forward and kicked the area under his feet.

"If you dare to tease me again, do you believe that I will betroth you to a eunuch?"

Although Luo Chen had been kicked, he didn't feel any pain because Hua Mu Jin's kick had been very light.

"I don't dare. This subordinate is only worried about your body. I have absolutely no intention of making fun of you. I beg the Empress to calm her anger." Also, your subordinate would like to clarify that your subordinate's orientation is very normal. "

"Puchi …"

Luo Chen seriously joked while Hua Mu Jin couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Before this, she had always thought that Luo Chen was a very interesting person, but now, it seemed that it was much more interesting than she had imagined.

"Oh, so your orientation is normal?" "How about this, when the time is right, I will walk around the palace properly and pick out ten or eight palace maids for you. I'll betroth them all to you, okay?"

"To reply esteemed Empress, your subordinate's heart and people all belong to the Emperor."

A cold gaze sent chills down Luo Chen's spine.

"Your master has an owner, you can't be a mistress and ruin the relationship of others. "How about this, I'll send someone to send you to the executive room. When you come out of there, your feelings will be completely settled."

Luo Chen raised his eyes to look at Bai Zhan Ke, but didn't dare to say anything else. He raised his eyebrows and signaled Hua Mujiao to look behind him.

There was no need to look, Hua Mu Jin could already feel a chill in the air.

He cursed in his heart as he turned around with a grin, directly taking Bai Zhan Ke's arm.

"Did you see that? Your master is mine, so you should stop thinking about your master. Do you hear me?"

The words' your master is mine, 'warmed the white battle.

"Let's go."

Seeing that Bai Zhan Ke's expression had eased up, Hua Mu Jin and Luo Chen both let out a sigh of relief.

After exiting the palace, the carriage continued on its way. The hawkers on both sides of the street were making a lot of noise, but as Hua Mujiao listened, she felt very comfortable.

After getting off the carriage, Hua Mujiao raised her head and looked at the sign that had the words' Violet Bamboo Garden 'written on it. She was so shocked that her chin almost fell off.

He turned and looked at Bai Zhan Ke. "Don't tell me that you came here to pick up girls. Bringing his wife to the brothel, are you not afraid that I will rip it apart? "

With a smile, Bai Zhan Ke didn't explain, he just held onto Hua Mu Jin's hand and walked inside.

During the day, the brothel was extremely quiet. Bai Zhan dragged Hua Mu Jin along the familiar road to the third floor. From the moment they entered the Violet Bamboo Garden, Hua Mu Jin hadn't seen a single person.

"Strange, why is there no one in this building?"

Hua Mu Jin muttered in a low voice. When she turned around, Luo Chen had already opened the door behind her.

"This commoner pays his respects to the Emperor."

She narrowed her eyes, looking at the person in front of her who was bowing and greeting her, and a puzzled look was written on Hua Mujiao's face.

"Let's skip the fake gifts."

Curling her eyes, Hua Mujiao sized up the man in front of her. He was dressed in elegant white clothes, and his facial features were as delicate as a sculpture. She hadn't thought that there would be a man more beautiful than Shangguan Yi in this world.

"How boring!" Isn't this the same as seeing you bring the others? I have to at least give you some face as a king, right? "

The man glanced at Hua Mu Jin before turning around and entering the room.

Bai Zhan grabbed her and followed in.

"This must be the Empress Dowager that General Shangguan spoke of, right? People are born with a country look, but it's just that they look a little lighter. "

A little lighter?

What did this mean? Flower Hibiscus didn't understand.

"You don't have to care about what he says."

"You don't need to care about what? No matter what, I'm your Royal Uncle, is there anyone who has the right to speak to their Royal Uncle like that? "
