Bai Zhan Ke's eyes became deep, his lips moved slightly.

"He always has to use it."

Bai Yan smiled and shook his head, the way she looked at Bai Zhan Ke was filled with admiration.

"It is fortunate that you still remember that he had a silver medal, otherwise you would have let him take the chance." I see that he didn't even try to defend himself tonight. According to his abilities, he should be able to push this matter out, so why do you think he was willing to be removed from the job? "

In the palace hall, Bai Ling Yu's silence and calmness really caused Bai Yan to be at a loss.

Gently patting the folding fan in his hand, Shangguan Yi was also puzzled.

"I also think that's strange. Maybe he's too cunning. I've thought about it for a long time, but I still can't figure out what he's up to."

"Thirteenth Imperial Uncle, I'll have to trouble you after I leave the country."

Bai Zhan Ke didn't answer their questions, but what happened after he left the country was still a piece of cake.

Hibiscus Temple, within the palace.

Beside the bed, Hua Mujiao was holding a brocade handkerchief, frowning.

He turned his head and asked Green Bamboo, "Who spread this news?"

It's said that many people in the palace saw that the prince intended to do something against Imperial Concubine Yi, and the emperor even escorted the prince to the imperial palace. I heard that he almost took the prince's life, but the prince held onto the silver medal for saving his life, and in the end, he was only removed from the throne.

Listening to the green bamboo, Hua Mujiao's hand tightened around the brocade handkerchief.

At the same time, her eyes revealed a trace of confusion.

"Empress, why aren't you in a hurry? "After this incident, the other concubines in the other palaces will probably find ways to squeeze into Zhao He Palace. If Imperial Concubine Yi is favored, esteemed …"

As he spoke, Green Bamboo looked at Hua Mujiao's expression and stopped himself.

The corners of Hua Mu Jin's mouth pulled up into a hint of self-mockery.

Standing up, she took the brocade handkerchief and walked towards a lamp. Looking at the bright candle flame, she squinted her eyes and threw the brocade handkerchief onto the lamp.

"Empress, what are you doing?"

The green bamboo was shocked. It went up and took off the corner of the brocade handkerchief that was burned off, and it was extremely pained.

"Niangniang, this is a brocade handkerchief that you took a long time to embroider. Your servant still remembers that your hands were full of needles. How could you bear to burn it?"

For embroidery, hibiscus floral is not good at it.

In order to embroider this brocade handkerchief, Mistress avoided the Emperor's embroidery everyday. She had spent a great deal of effort to embroider this brocade handkerchief, but now she suddenly wanted to burn it. She truly did not understand why.

"It was originally worthless, and now it no longer has any meaning. I'm tired, you can leave. "

Green Bamboo opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but after looking at his master's expression, he didn't say anything in the end.

He put away the brocade handkerchief and left the chamber.

Deep into the night, Hibiscus vulgaris tossed and turned on the bed.

There were so many things on her mind that she couldn't take it anymore. Her head hurt.

Standing up from the bed, Hua Mu Jin draped a coat over her shoulders and walked to the window. Opening it, a face that she didn't want to see appeared in front of her.

Narrowing her eyes, she took a deep breath and exhaled.

Then, he raised his eyes to look at the man in front of him and asked, "Your majesty, why are you standing outside your concubine's window so late at night? What's the matter?"

The man narrowed his eyes, looking at her with an extremely tender gaze.

"Jin'er, do you believe in me?"

The corners of his mouth curled up into a sneer.

Hua Mujiao tilted her head. "Your majesty really likes chenqie. As the sovereign of the imperial palace, if chenqie doesn't believe you, who else can I trust?" Don't you think so, Your Majesty? "

Bai Zhan Ke was startled.

Her words were filled with ridicule.

He reached out his hand, wanting to touch her head, but she nimbly dodged his hand.

"Your majesty, it's already deep into the night. If there's nothing else, please go back. Chenqie should be sleeping by now."

As she spoke, Hua Mujiao stretched out her hand to close the window, but was blocked by the man's large hand.

"Don't tell me you don't want to hear my explanation?"

Pursing her lips, Hua Mujie loosened her grip on the window and shook her head.

"Chenqie still said the same words as before. Your majesty, you're the ruler of the imperial palace, how could chenqie have the right to have you explain it?" As she spoke, Hua Mujiao turned around, her back facing Bai Zhan Ke.

He then continued, "Your Majesty, please be at ease. Chenqie had said from the beginning that Chenqie would never be the kind of woman who would cry and then hang herself. Therefore, she would naturally not cause trouble for Imperial Concubine Yi."

From Hua Mu Jin's tone, he could tell that she was disappointed in him.

And she, was still angry.

Looking at her petite body, Bai Zhan Ke retracted his hand and moved his lips, but didn't say anything.

Finally, he disappeared out the window.

In the moment that Bai Zhan Ke disappeared, Hua Mu Jin felt as if something had grabbed her heart and squeezed it painfully.

This night was destined to never be peaceful.

The Dew Palace.

"Imperial Concubine Yi, This Dowager really didn't see that you had hidden yourself so deeply. You have plotted against Your Highness. Good, very good. You actually dared to touch This Dowager's son. Do you really think This Dowager won't dare to kill you?"

The empress dowager sat on the chaise longue, her whole body radiating anger as she clenched her hands into fists.

In front of him were the two kneeling on the ground.

"May the empress dowager make a thorough investigation. Even if Thousand Flowers had the guts, Thousand Flowers still wouldn't dare to scheme against Your Highness. You also know that we're drinking wine in the imperial garden tonight. As for why things turned out like this, Thousand Flowers really doesn't know, she made a thorough investigation."

"Pa …"

The empress dowager glared at Nangong Qianhua as she slammed her hands on the armrest and stood up.

"Don't know?" Just because you don't know a single thing, do you think that Yu'er is a fool for being removed from the position of prince and living in seclusion in the palace? This Dowager knows very well what kind of woman Yu'er likes. Even if he was blind, he would still look down on you. If it wasn't for you seducing Yu'er, why would he scheme against you? Say it! "

The empress dowager allowed Senior Servant Qin to support her, and the more she spoke, the angrier she became.

After saying that, he stepped forward. Lowering his body, he extended his hand and grabbed onto Nangong Qianhua's hair and ruthlessly pulled her back.

"Ah, it hurts. Esteemed Empress Dowager, Aunt, chenqie really doesn't have any, really don't …"

She reached out her hand and grabbed onto the empress dowager's hand that was holding onto her hair, trying to make the empress dowager's grip weaker.

She was wearing an extremely heavy headdress, so after being pulled like this, not only was Nangong Qianyin's hair in disarray, her scalp was also in extreme pain. This caused her to tear up.

"No?" Tell me, why is there no trace of being drugged on Yu'er? If it's not you seducing him, then what else could it be! "

The empress dowager was infuriated as she pulled on Nangong Qianhua's hand even more forcefully.

Nangong Qianhua did not dare to resist as tears rolled down her cheeks.

Aunt, there's really no such thing as a 'thousand flowers'. That wine was prepared by the thousand flowers for the peony to use. At that time, Qian Hua truly felt that she had been drugged in the wine, or else, Your Highness wouldn't have thought of Qian Hua as some other woman.

The empress dowager looked angrily at Nangong Qianhua, who was crying with a wronged expression. She suddenly frowned and turned her head to look at Peony, who was kneeling on the ground, not daring to raise her head.

After that, she loosened her grip on Nangong Qianhua's hair.

"Say, did this lowly servant prepare the wine?"

With her scalp relieved, Nangong Qianhua hurriedly nodded her head. Her tears did not stop.

"Yes, it was thousand flowers that made the peony to prepare it. As for whether or not there was any medicine in the wine, Aunt, why don't you ask the peony? She should be very clear about this."

Nangong Qianhua had pointed her spear at the peony.

Peony was so scared that its body trembled and it quickly kowtowed.

"Reporting to the empress dowager, this servant did indeed prepare the wine, but this servant wouldn't dare drug the prince. Empress Dowager, I beg the empress dowager to believe in me, I beg you to believe in me."

When they were at the Supreme Ocean Palace, Peony's words before the Emperor made the empress dowager want to kill her.

The reason why she still had the life to kneel before the empress dowager was because the empress dowager wanted to find out who had done the things in the imperial garden.

"Since the wine was prepared by you, do you not know whether it was drugged or not? What right do you have to make This Dowager believe you and not put any medicine in the wine? "

She lowered her head and bit her lower lip.

He turned his head slightly and glanced at Nangong Qianhua beside him.

In the end, she opened her mouth and said, "Empress Dowager, you know that this servant is sent by the emperor. Since this servant is the emperor's man, how could I possibly drugged the prince? Majesty, please trust this servant. "

Hearing those words, Nangong Qian Hua, who was at the side, was stunned.

She stopped her tears and looked at Peony in astonishment.

"Peony, you, you're actually royal father's person?"

In order to survive, Peony could not care about anything else.

"As matters stand, this servant will not hide it from you, Princess. This servant was indeed sent by the emperor to your side. The emperor only ordered this servant to look after you for the princess' own good."

"You, when did you …"

"All of you shut up!"

Nangong Qian Hua wanted to ask something, but she was stopped by the empress dowager's angry shout.

She looked coldly at the two of them. There was only one thing the empress dowager wanted to know right now.

"I don't care who you are. I don't care if you, Nangong Qianhua, are the princess of that country. If you dare to touch my son, you will die!"

Hearing the empress dowager's angry voice, Nangong Qianhua started sobbing.

She heavily kowtowed to the ground, and the corner of her mouth revealed a sinister smile that no one had noticed.

"Aunt, don't be angry. You're really mad. Thousandflower had just recalled that the Heavenly Light Nation was a foreign tribe that was rich in all sorts of poisons. To them, creating bewitching medicines that could not be diagnosed was an easy task. "Qian Hua remembers that the peony was from that tribe."

Nangong Qianhua's words woke the empress dowager up.

In her mind, she knew about the tribe, and she had taken a lot of medicine from them.

"Princess, you, you … Even if this servant was from the Realm of the Gods, this servant was already expelled when I was young. What poison do you mean by bewitching medicine? This servant has never come into contact with it, so how could I produce a medicine that has no color and no smell? Princess, don't you dare wrongly accuse this servant! "
