The queen's words touched the heart of Hibiscus vulgaris. It had probably been a long time since she had felt her family's love. Her eyes were somewhat moist.
The sincere look on the queen's face moved her deeply.
"Granny, I …"
"Silly girl, you don't need to say anything else, even my granny knows that. You, ah, as long as you remember, you are not alone, the Southern Kingdom's palace is your home. If you ever suffer any grievances in the future, come and tell me, I will definitely uphold justice for you, do you understand?"
Hua Mu Jin was about to say something, but she was interrupted by the queen.
With that, the queen stood up, smiled, and continued, "Little girl, your body is still very weak. Go and rest well, and I won't disturb your rest any longer. Tomorrow, I will come to see you again."
Hua Mu Jin retracted the urge to cry and nodded: "Mn, Grandma, walk slowly."
Watching the queen leave, Hibiscus vulgaris pursed her lips.
"Empress, the Queen treats you so well, without any airs. When we return to the Huan Yue Country, those people in the imperial harem won't dare to underestimate you anymore. After all, you're a princess of the Southern Kingdom right now."
Green Bamboo stepped forward and put away the bowl at the side, feeling happy for his master.
When they were in Huan Yue Country, the court ladies were discussing in private that her master was born of a low birth, so she wasn't worthy of being favored by the emperor.
But things were different now. Their master was the princess of a kingdom.
"I don't care how others look at me. What I care about is this kinship. "
Hua Mu Jin knew what Green Bamboo was thinking, but she wasn't proud of being a princess of the Southern Kingdom. Instead, she was sincerely treated by the Queen, which made her feel the warmth of family love.
"Empress, your heart is kind, so you naturally won't care about this." "But this servant is still happy for you. From now on, those people in the imperial harem will not dare to speak ill of you."
Green Bamboo also knew more or less what life was like for Hua Mujiao in Shang Shu Manor. Although she didn't understand why her master suddenly became a princess of the Southern Kingdom, she was still proud of having such a master in her heart.
Looking at the green bamboo, Hua Mu Jin's lips curved up in a smile. "I'm tired. You can leave first."
"Yes, your servant will take his leave."
Green Bamboo folded the wedding dress and placed it in a brocade box, then placed it on the table. He then carried the plate out.
Hua Mujiao looked at the brocade box on the table. In her mind, she imagined the scene of her marriage with Bai Zhan Ke, and the corners of her mouth curled up into a happy and satisfied smile.
However, she wasn't sure that her marriage to Bai Zhan Ke would be successful.
Elsewhere, in the royal study.
"Huan Yue emperor, how do you think this matter should be handled?"
The King of the South sat behind his desk and looked at the white battle cry on his right, seeming to have some profound meaning.
Bai Zhan Ke raised his head and looked towards the Southern King.
His deep black eyes were sharp, and anyone could tell that he harbored killing intent towards the crown prince of the Skyrise Kingdom.
"If I say that killing him is the safest, would the king still ask for my opinion?"
To the side, Shangguan Yi's lips quivered.
He really didn't understand what this man was thinking.
The Southern King had already agreed to sign a century-old bond with the Huan Yue Country. It was clear that the Southern King was on Hibiscus Flower's side.
Although he did want to kill the good-for-nothing crown prince of the State of Heaven's Light, he should be considering how to make the State of Heaven break the treaty on its own right now.
"Your Majesty, forgive me for being blunt, but I wonder what thoughts do you have?"
The King of the South kept his eyes on Bai Zhan Ke.
From the look on Bai Zhan Ke's face, he could tell that this man truly cared for Jing Jin.
"The next day will be the national code. Although the matter of the crown prince of the Skyrise Kingdom being sealed off by the oligarchs, there are a lot of people from other countries in the Northern Palace, and it is inevitable that someone will spread the news. If the king of the Heavenly Light Empire were to know about this, then it will not be as simple as a oligarch wanting to destroy a treaty. "
From the words of the King of the South, Bai Zhan Ke understood what he wanted to do.
Of course, Shangguan Yi understood a bit.
"Could it be that the Southern King wants to let him go?"
Bai Zhan Ke's voice was a bit cold.
The Southern King knew that the Moon Emperor must be angry.
"Why not?"
He raised his eyebrows and smiled, showing some provocation towards Bai Zhan Ke.
Bai Zhan Ke had an indifferent expression. He squinted his eyes, and the corner of his mouth curled up into a chilling smile.
"If the Southern King does not wish to sign a contract with the Huan Yue Country, I will not force him. However, if you want to release the Crown Prince of the Skylaurel Kingdom, don't blame me for starting a massacre in your palace! "
Even from a distance, the King of the South could feel the cold on his body.
"Huan Yue emperor, you misunderstand."
At this time, Mu Yu Ze, who was standing on the Southern King's back, felt something was wrong and immediately stood out.
He smiled and said, "Huan Yue emperor, although Jin Jin is your concubine, she is also a princess of my Southern Kingdom. When she was hurt in the palace, father will not ignore her. Furthermore, the Heavenly Light Nation has spied on the Southern Kingdom for a long time, so the Huan Yue Emperor should be very clear about this. "
Looking at Mu Yu Ze, Shangguan Yi frowned.
The Heavenly Light Nation had been spying on the Southern Kingdom's business all this time. Not only was this a king, the previous generation of kings had also been drooling over the Southern Kingdom's business for a long time. This was not a secret.
However, he did not understand the meaning of the Southern King wanting to release the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Light Empire.
"Your highness, I am really not too sure. Please explain."
Mu Yuze looked at her father, who was dressed in a dragon robe, then turned to Shangguan Yi when she saw him nod.
"Father's meaning is that we should release the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Light Empire and set up a banquet to apologize to him. "I hope that the Huan Yue emperor will cooperate fully during the Rising Sun Nation's ceremony. After this show is over, the Huan Yue emperor wants to kill the crown prince of the Skylaurel Kingdom, no matter how badly he cuts us down, my Southern Kingdom will not say a word."
Hearing Mu Yuze's words, Shangguan Yi's frown deepened.
Bai Zhan Ke suddenly opened his mouth and asked, "Does the king really want to do this during the ceremony?"
Hearing this, the Southern King raised his eyebrows and smiled.
Then, he said, "Otherwise, Emperor Huan Yue, do you have a better way for the Heavenly Light Nation to unilaterally destroy the treaty?"
"Then we'll do as you say."
Bai Zhan Ke stood up as he said, "I still have some matters to attend to, so I will take my leave first."
"Wait a moment."
However, just as Bai Zhan turned around, the South King called out to him.
Turning his head, he saw what had happened. A malicious smile appeared on the face of the Southern King.
"Little girl Jin Jin is the granddaughter of an outsider, and you, Huan Yue emperor, are her husband. According to seniority, I'm afraid you should address her as grandpa?"
"…"
Bai Zhan Ke didn't expect that the Southern King would suddenly say such a thing.
For a moment, he was slightly speechless.
Shangguan Yi, on the other hand, looked as if she was watching a good show.
"That's right, if that's the case, then Emperor Huan Yue should call this son of mine 'royal uncle'. Father, do you think so?"
Seeing that King Nan was joking with Bai Zhan Ke, Mu Yuze, who was at the side, also opened his mouth and echoed his words.
Bai Zhan Ke stood there, not knowing what to say.
"Although you are the ruler of a country, your seniority should still be counted in the Southern Kingdom. If it's hard for the Huan Yue emperor to call you grandpa, then it's fine. However, you can go and discuss it with little girl Jin Jin to see if you can change your address. "
From the moment he first came into contact with the King of the South, Shangguan Yi had felt that this King was an interesting person.
However, he did not expect the Southern King to make fun of him, which surprised him a little.
"Cough, your majesty, we are currently in the Southern Kingdom, so we should follow the Southern Kingdom's etiquette." Cough, your majesty, we are currently in the Southern Kingdom, so we should follow the Southern Kingdom's etiquette.
Shangguan Yi received Bai Zhan Ke's cold stare as soon as he finished speaking.
He swallowed his saliva, and the corner of his mouth twitched in embarrassment, not daring to say anything more.
"Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
Bai Zhan Ke didn't reply to the Southern King and Mu Yu Ze, and directly walked out of the study.
Shangguan Yi looked at the smiling Southern King and the Crown Prince on the table, smiled, and followed Bai Zhan Ke.
He looked at the expressionless white warrior beside him and fanned himself with the folding fan in his hand.
"This trip to the Southern Kingdom was not in vain. After this war between the Huan Yue Country and the Heavenly Light Nation, the Southern Kingdom will definitely stand on our side. Even more importantly, you and her have wasted your time in picking up an imperial grandfather. That is truly a cause for celebration. "
Shangguan Yi's words were obviously meant to tease him.
Bai Zhan Ke turned to look at him and said coldly, "Shangguan Yi, you're being too idle!"
"Don't you know that I have nothing to do? "Tell me, what are you planning to do with the National Grimoire in the future?"
Shangguan Yi held back her laughter and changed the topic.
He knew that if he continued to tease her, he wouldn't get anything good out of it.
Suddenly, Bai Zhan stopped walking. He looked Shangguan Yi up and down before saying, "You're quite suitable to be an assassin."
With that, he walked towards the West Palace.
Shangguan Yi froze on the spot, staring at his back.
Only after a long time did he recover his wits.
You don't have to do this, Bai Zhan Ke. This general is a general of a nation after all. Take a good look. How is this general fit to be an assassin?
Returning to the Western Palace, Hibiscus Blossom was still sleeping soundly.
Bai Zhan Ke approached softly and caressed her face.
"You're back?"
As if sensing the aura of Bai Zhan Ke, Hua Mujiao opened her eyes and looked at him.
Bai Zhan nodded his head and asked, "Does the wound still hurt?"
Hua Mujie propped herself up and shook her head, "It doesn't hurt anymore, it's just a little itchy."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Why are you in such a hurry to come back? So you're actually worried about someone. The two of you being together all day don't seem to be in such a bad mood. Just looking at it makes this general feel numb."
Shangguan Yi felt goosebumps rise all over his body as soon as he entered the bedroom and saw the two men lying by the bed.
"Who allowed you to see it? If you think it's too much trouble, close your eyes or go out. "
Hua Mujiao glared at Shangguan Yi before turning back to face her.
Actually, she liked to bicker with Shangguan Yi.
"Do you think this general is willing to watch it?" After giving Hibiscus of the Flowers a white eye, Shangguan Yi sat down at a nearby table.
Then, as if he had thought of something interesting, he looked at Hua Mujiao and smiled: "That's right, this general has heard some interesting words today, do you want to hear them?"
