Even though he already knew that Hua Mujiao was his royal sister's daughter, her current identity as the concubine of the Huan Yue country's emperor was the least he could do to treat her with respect.

Hearing this, Hua Mu Jin slightly creased her brows.

"The crown prince wants me to accompany the queen?"

The Crown Prince smiled and nodded his head, saying, "The Empress is indeed wise. Before Your Highness could even say it, the Empress had already guessed it. "Imperial Mother misses Imperial Sister's illness. If the Empress is willing to accompany her, I think she will definitely be better by more than half."

Last night at the banquet, I could see that the queen really loved the Princess who had disappeared for twenty years.

Even Hua Mujiao was infected by her emotions when she saw this.

"Prince, you have spoken so respectfully. If I refuse, won't I be giving you too little face? "I will go tomorrow morning. If there is nothing else, please go back, Crown Prince."

"Then I'll be troubling you. Goodbye."

As she watched the crown prince leave, Hua Mujiao thought of Shangguan Yi.

The corners of her mouth curled up into a charming smile.

He turned around and instructed Green Bamboo, "Go, get a blanket. I'm going to deliver it to His Majesty and General Shangguan."

"Yes, Empress."

Holding the blanket, Hua Mujiao pushed open the door to Shangguan Yi's room.

When she saw the scene inside the house, her eyes and mouth opened wide as she froze in place.

Inside the house, Shangguan Yi lay on the bed, his body covered in white dust.

The two's posture was extremely ambiguous. Hua Mujiao's mind filled with the image of the two of them being young and unsuitable for each other as her eyes glowed with the light of a rotten girl.

"Erm, sorry for bothering you. You guys continue. I didn't see anything. Continue. Continue."

With that, she turned to leave.

"Halt!"

Behind him came Bai Zhan Ke's low voice.

Hibiscus vulgaris withdrew her foot, rolled her eyes, and turned around with a grin on her face.

"Does the emperor have anything to tell chenqie?"

"Come here."

The low and deep voice sounded once more.

Hua Mujiao looked at Shangguan Yi, who was lying on the ground, and walked over after a moment's hesitation.

However, Shangguan Yi remained silent, which puzzled Hua Mujiao.

She asked, "Did you touch his acupoints?"

Bai Zhan nodded, lifting Shangguan Yi's arm up and then lifting his sleeve. An extremely dark meridian on Shangguan Yi's arm was impressively reflected in Hua Mu Jin's eyes.

Frowning, Hua Mujiao worriedly asked, "What happened to him?"

"Poisoned."

Poisoned?

Hua Mu Jin was a little flustered and didn't know what to do for a moment.

"When was he poisoned? Then do you know what poison it is? Can it be cured? "

At the same time as she was worried about Shangguan Yi, Hua Mujie was also somewhat angry.

In the past few days, Shangguan Yi had not shown any signs of abnormality. Who would have thought that he would have been poisoned?

"It's a type of slow poison. He forced some of the poison out himself, so tell Luo Chen to get some clean cold water. If he doesn't force the poison out now, it will corrode his internal organs."

Turning around, Hua Mu Jin walked out of the room and instructed Luo Chen, who was waiting outside.

Then, he returned to his room.

Looking at the motionless Shangguan Yi, he felt angry.

"Unseal his acupoints!"

Looking at the flower hibiscus, Bai Zhan undid Shangguan Yi's acupoints.

"I already said that I'm fine now. I can force the poison out myself, but you …"

"BOOM!"

The acupoints on his body were opened, Shangguan Yi had just sat up, Hua Mu Jin raised her palm and struck the top of his head before he could finish his sentence.

"Hiss … You, have gone mad …"

Shangguan Yi was about to open his mouth to curse, but when he saw Hua Mujiao's expression, he shut his mouth.

"Shangguan Yi, is that paste in your head?" "You haven't said a word about the poison, do you think you've lived too long or what? If you don't find out by chance that you didn't force the poison out of your body, do you know that you'll die!"

Hua Mujiao was infuriated. If she didn't scold Shangguan Yi, it would be difficult for her to suppress her anger.

She really didn't know what Shangguan Yi was thinking. How could she hide poison from him?

What if the poison invaded his heart? He …

"This general doesn't have any …"

"Shut up! Did I let you speak? I really don't know what's on your mind. If you want to die, tell me, I'll grant you your wish and give you a bit of pain. You don't even need to be tortured by this poison! "

Looking at Hua Mujiao's angry expression, Shangguan Yi didn't feel angry. Instead, she felt a sense of warmth.

Ripples appeared on his heart.

"When was he poisoned?"

After she finished cursing, the anger in Hua Mujiao's heart could be considered to have abated a bit.

Looking at Shangguan Yi who dared not retort, Bai Zhan Ke's lips curled into a smile.

"The day of the assassination."

"You, you …"

Hearing Shangguan Yi's words, Hua Mujiao grew even angrier.

After being poisoned for six days, he actually didn't mention a single word. Furthermore, he still had a normal appearance in front of them.

"Bai Zhan Ke, when you expel the poison from his body, don't be soft-hearted, whatever method you use to expel the poison will hurt him the most, just use whatever method I use. If you don't give him some memory, he won't know that he made a mistake!"

With that, Hua Mu Jin turned around and left in a rage.

Coincidentally, Luo Chen walked in with the water.

"Empress, what's wrong?" Why is your subordinate looking at her with such anger? "

"Pour the water into the tub."

Without answering Luo Chen, Bai Zhan Ke ordered.

Receiving his orders, Luo Chen walked to the back of the screen and poured the water into the bath barrel.

"Cough, your majesty, what she just said were all words out of anger. You won't take it seriously, will you?"

Shangguan Yi looked at Bai Zhan Ke, a smirk on her face.

Bai Zhan Ke looked at him with the corner of his mouth slightly raised.

"We naturally have to listen to Jin'er's words. I shall do whatever she says! "

Watching the two of them talking, Luo Chen was stupefied.

"You can't be? You are the emperor of a country, how can you listen to a woman? Take out your imposing aura and dignity as if she had never been here before, alright? "

He got up and said the two words in a soft voice.

"No way!"

There were many ways to expel poison using inner force.

Some methods could instantly expel the poison from a person's body without any pain.

However, there were other methods that could make a person feel excruciating pain during the process of expelling the poison. It was as if there were tens of millions of worms crawling within their body, making them feel extremely uncomfortable.

Bai Zhan Ke used the latter method to expel the poison for Shangguan Yi.

Luo Chen looked at Shangguan Yi, who was sitting in the bathtub with her upper body naked and her forehead covered in sweat and her face pale, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Bai Zhan Ke retracted his hand from Shangguan Yi's back, only to see her cough out a mouthful of black blood. She seemed to have lost all her strength as she lay prone on the bath barrel.

"When was General Shangguan poisoned?"

Shangguan Yi raised her eyes weakly and looked at Luo Chen, her lips twitching.

"The thing is, no, it's not important. The important thing is that from now on, you must not offend any woman, especially your master's woman. This is my advice to you."

Luo Chen was confused and at a loss.

"Luochen, look at him."

Shangguan Yi had used up a lot of his internal energy to expel the poison, and he looked rather weak.

"Yes, Mistress."

After giving Luo Chen his instructions, Bai Zhan Ke left the room.

Luo Chen looked at Shangguan Yi still lying on the bath barrel and asked, "General, why didn't you tell Master that you were poisoned?"

Shangguan Yi shot a quick glance at Luo Chen, helplessness flashing across her eyes.

Then, he said, "Do you think this general is willing to accept this? If the imperial physician who accompanied them dies, this general is afraid that your master will be worried. Furthermore, this is the Southern Kingdom, so if people find out that a general of a country was poisoned, wouldn't that be embarrassing for the Huan Yue country? "

After expelling the poison from Shangguan Yi, Bai Zhan returned to his bedroom.

The next day.

Hua Mu Jin got up early, washed up and ate breakfast, then went to the East Palace, the palace where the Southern King lived.

In the chaise longue, the queen was lying on her back, her face haggard.

She waved towards Hua Mujiao, "Little girl, come here. Let me have a good look at you."

Hua Mujie pursed his lips and walked over.

The queen took her hand, tears in her eyes.

"Little girl, have you suffered any grievances while you were in the Country of Huan Yue all these years?"

Feeling the warmth from the queen's palm, Hua Mujie shook her head.

She was not used to the queen's kindness.

It's good that you didn't suffer any grievances. That girl Qingcheng has always been stubborn since childhood. Back then, the king insisted on recruiting a prince consort for her, but she disagreed and left the palace in a fit of anger. In the past twenty years, I've thought about her for a long time, but I don't know how she lived after leaving the palace.

After that, she spoke of her longing for Hua Qingcheng. As she listened, Hua Mu Jin's heart was filled with dissatisfaction.

If she told the queen that her mother had been killed, wouldn't she faint from anger?

"Esteemed queen, I …"

"Little girl, are you calling me by that name to scold me for Qingcheng? Could it be that she, too, blamed me for not being able to stop the matter of the king seeking a prince consort for her? But, she should know about this, the king is also forced to do so due to helplessness. "

When the queen heard the hibiscus, a tear rolled down her cheek.

Forced to do so?

Hua Mujie guessed that it might be some kind of political marriage?

Or it could be the marriage alliance between the two countries.

"Your Highness, you are overthinking things. I have never seen Mother before, so I naturally do not know what Mother is thinking. But I don't think Mother would blame you. "

The queen's hand, which was holding hibiscus, trembled, and a wry smile rose at the corners of her mouth.

"That girl Qingcheng, has always been kind to me from the bottom of her heart. Even if she doesn't blame me, I blame myself instead."

To persuade others, Hibiscus vulgaris was not good at it.

Hearing the queen reproach herself with every word, Hua Mu Jin felt a little helpless and didn't know how to start persuading her.

"Little girl, don't call me queen. You are Qingcheng's daughter, so you are my granddaughter. From now on, you will call me grandma Huang, okay?"

Raising her eyes, Hua Mujie saw the look of anticipation in the queen's eyes.

Logically speaking, she should have called her grandma the Queen, but this change made her feel a bit uncomfortable.

However, she couldn't bear to break the queen's expectations.

In the end, she nodded and replied, "Okay, from now on, I'll call you grandma Huang."

In an instant, the queen's face lit up.

"Hey, hey …"
