It wasn't as if there hadn't been any incidents in history where the emperor had personally led the army, but it was very rare.

Firstly, he was afraid that there would be no ruler in the imperial court, and secondly, he was afraid that the ministers would be worried that the swords on the battlefield would have no eyes, and that the emperor's life would be harmed.

"In reply to the Empress, Master really does want to take the reins."

Hearing these words, Hua Mu Jin frowned.

In the history she had read, the reason why the emperor went to war personally was because there were no internal troubles.

However, the current situation of Huan Yue Country was that it was filled with both internal and external troubles. If Bai Zhan Ke were to personally take the throne at this time, wouldn't that give the empress dowager a chance to usurp the throne?

"No, I have to go to the royal study."

The more she thought about it, the more worried she became.

After gulping down a few mouthfuls of porridge, she put down the bowl, stood up, and left the front hall.

"Empress, the imperial physician has yet to diagnose your pulse. Empress, you cannot leave the Hibiscus Palace."

Hua Mujiao had just walked to the door when she was stopped by Bai Zhan Ke.

Judging from his expression, it seemed that he didn't intend to let Hua Mu Jin leave.

How could I have the heart to check my pulse now?" The emperor wants to control the army personally, this is not a small matter, isn't there no one to persuade him? As for Bai Yan, why didn't he advise the emperor against it?

Nan Ge was somewhat helpless, but his master had instructed him to look after the Empress, so there was nothing he could do.

"This is not something this subordinate should ask. Empress, you should first let the imperial physician examine the pulse. Once Mistress leaves the Imperial Court, I will come to the Gesun Palace. At that time, it will not be too late for Empress to speak to Mistress."

Looking at Nan Ge, Hua Mu Jin glared at him angrily.

She was well aware of Nan Ge's martial arts skills. If she fought, although Nan Ge wouldn't retaliate, she definitely wouldn't be able to escape from the palace.

"I've never seen someone as stubborn as you. Why are you still in a daze? Pass the message to the imperial physician." "Also, send someone to inform the emperor that I have urgent business with the emperor and that he has to make a trip to the Gesun Palace."

"Yes."

Inside the hall, Doctor Xie knelt on the ground and took out Hua Mujiao's pulse.

While Imperial Physician Xie was frowning, Hua Mujiao could guess that something was wrong with his pulse.

"Nan Ge, I'm hungry. Go ask someone to prepare some pastries and bring them to the sleeping quarters."

Nan Ge was very strange. Didn't the Empress just eat something? How could she be hungry again?

Even though he was puzzled, he still accepted the order and left.

"Imperial Physician Xie, if there's anything you want to say, just say it."

Only Doctor Xie and Hua Mujiao were left in the hall. Doctor Xie looked at Hua Mujiao, hesitating to speak.

Finally, he opened his mouth and said, "Empress, forgive this humble subject's incompetence in medicine. Empress, you have been pregnant for two months, and in your stomach, Empress was a twin. But when this humble subject examined your pulse, I realized that your pulse was weak and that there was probably cold poison invading your body.

What Imperial Physician Xie said was the same as what Mu Xuanyin had said.

There was indeed cold poison in her body.

However, she was very curious as to who had placed this cold poison in her body. This was a mystery.

"Yes, I know. I have a prescription here. Use it on me."

As she spoke, Hua Mujiao took out a prescription and handed it over to Imperial Physician Xie.

With the prescription in hand, Imperial Physician Xie was overjoyed and surprised when he finished reading it.

"Empress, please forgive this humble subject for asking. Who wrote this prescription?"

"What? Is there a problem?"

"No, no, it's just that the prescription is a bit surprising to this humble subject. If I wasn't looking at the prescription, this humble subject would never have thought that I would add these ingredients to expel the cold poison from Empress's body. If Empress takes the recipe's medicine for a long period of time, the cold poison in your body might not have affected Long Si, who is in your stomach."

The prescription was given by Mu Xuanyin.

Hua Mujiao hadn't expected that the prescription would make Imperial Physician Xie praise it so much.

"Just grab the medicine according to the prescription. Don't ask about anything else." Also, when there is cold poison in my body and my twin is pregnant, don't let the Emperor know. If you dare to even mention half a word to the Emperor, I will make your head fall to the ground! "

"Esteemed Empress, this …"

Faced with the threat of Hibiscus Flower, Doctor Xie was put in a difficult position.

After all, he was following the emperor's orders to examine the Empress's pulse. If he didn't tell the truth and the emperor found out, then it would inevitably be his fault.

"I'm not joking with you. You'd better remember my words in your heart. All you have to do is tell the emperor that the children inside and outside of my stomach are safe and sound. As for everything else, don't say a single word more!"

At first, Imperial Physician Xie suspected that Hua Mujiao was concealing the fact that he had twin babies from the emperor, but after hearing what Hua Mujiao had said, he felt that the Empress was thinking for the emperor's sake.

It was a eventful time for the Huan Yue Country. Doctor Xie felt that the Empress didn't want to worry the Emperor by doing so.

"Yes, this humble subject understands."

When Imperial Physician Xie had finished taking Hua Mujiao's pulse, he sent Nan Ge to take the medicine because he didn't want to worry about the others following behind him. As for the medicine, Nan Ge was personally watching over it.

Originally, Hibiscus vulgaris wanted to rest a bit more, but just as she was about to lie down in the Imperial Consort's chair, the eunuch walked in.

"Reporting to the Empress, Empress Xuanyan seeks an audience."

Xuanfei was Mu Qiu.

Hearing the eunuch speak like this, Hua Mujiao sat up in the Imperial Consort's chair. It could be said that she hadn't seen Mu Qiu in a long time.

"Let her in."

"Yes."

Not long after the eunuch left, Mu Qiu walked in.

Mu Qiu's eyes flashed with a strange light as he looked at the smiling Flower Mu Jin on the imperial concubine's chair. He then stepped forward and said, "Elder sister Jin, you've finally returned. Quickly show me that you've lost weight. You must have suffered a lot on the way back, right?"

Mu Qiu walked up and sat by Hua Mujiao's side. She held onto Hua Mujiao's hand, her eyes filled with concern.

"How thin is that? It's obvious that he has become a bit fatter. On the other hand, you, I've been gone for a month, and no one has come to cause you any trouble, right? "

Mu Qiu was also present when Nangong Qianhua had come to find trouble with him.

Hua Mu Jin was afraid that Nangong Qian Hua would find trouble with Mu Qiu after she left.

"There must be someone looking for trouble, but I am not someone who is easy to bully. I have already given it all back to them. "You don't know, although you've only been gone for a month, quite a few things have happened in the palace."

A lot of things happened?

Hua Mu Jin was extremely curious as to what had happened.

"Then tell me, what happened?"

Mu Qiu sighed with a regretful expression.

"I always thought that Ye Yi Xin was a gentle and sweet person. I never thought that she would be so merciless. Not long after you left the Li Palace, Chen Shuyi was killed by her staff. "

Chen Shuyi?

For this person, Flower Hibiscus had no impression of him.

"Why did she shoot Chen Shuyi's staff?"

"I heard that Chen Shuyi accidentally bumped into her and didn't speak very well to her. Senior Concubine Jing then ordered someone to shoot Chen Shuyi down in a fit of anger."

In front of others, Ye Lai Xin gave off a gentle appearance. This was the image she had created for herself.

Hua Mu Jin couldn't understand why Ye Yi Xin had suddenly abandoned her image.

"What else happened?"

For Hibiscus vulgaris, there was no need for her to care about people she didn't care about.

The only people she cared about were the people she cared about.

Originally, I thought that they would definitely be mortal enemies. After all, in this imperial harem, only the two of them have the highest ranking, and since the position of the harem master is empty, it would be difficult to avoid a fight to the death. "The young man said in a calm voice.

As she spoke, Mu Qiu paused before looking at Hua Mu Jin with interest.

"Guess what? The two of them actually went together, and it looks like they're on good terms. Senior Concubine Jing even asked the empress dowager to take care of everything in the harem. Tell me, isn't this strange?"

Nangong Qian Hua and Ye Yi were good friends?

In this matter, Hua Mu Jin really didn't expect it, and was very surprised.

However, the empress dowager probably wouldn't have agreed to let her control the harem when Nangong Qian Hua allowed Bai Ling Yu to be quiet, right?

"Then what you're saying is that the harem matters are being handled by Imperial Concubine Yi?"

"Isn't that so? Originally, I wanted to say that the empress dowager definitely wouldn't agree to let Imperial Concubine Yi leave the estate in peace, but the empress dowager agreed instead. Tell me, what's the empress dowager thinking?"

Mu Qiu asked Hua Mu Jin, but she didn't know what the empress dowager was thinking.

It was evident that Bai Lingyu had been framed. As for her, Nangong Qianhua, she was no less suspicious than the others.

"In the past few days, you haven't been around. Just looking at this harem is like watching a play. There are too many unimaginable things that happen. I'm more and more afraid that I'll end up becoming a part of the show."

Mu Qiu's worry was correct.

However, she had forgotten that from the moment they entered the palace, they had all been singing in this imperial harem, and this was a competition of acting skills.

"Don't worry, I'm here. Even if I'm in a play, I won't let you be the victim of this scene."

Hua Mu Jin truly treated Mu Qiu as a friend. In modern words, the word 'close friend' should be the most appropriate.

Hearing Hua Mu Jin's words, Mu Qiu's face flashed with an apologetic expression.

"Big Sister Jin Jin, you have to be careful of Imperial Concubine Yi and Senior Concubine Jing, especially Imperial Concubine Jing. Now that she has revealed her true face, who knows, she might think of ways to harm you. "Also, you have to be careful with the empress dowager."

In the beginning, Hua Mu Jin didn't think much of Ye Yi Xin.

It was because she felt that although this woman pretended to be soft and gentle, she wasn't any amazing woman.

However, hearing Mu Qiu say that she had beaten Chen Shuyi to death, she felt that she had underestimated that woman, Ye Yi Xin.

"Mm, don't worry, who am I? With the emperor's favor, even if I turn this harem upside down, the emperor won't blame me. Do you think I can be afraid of them?"

Hua Mu Jin's words were true.

Pet her in battle, almost to the point of being unable to go offline.

If she did get into a fight with a woman from the harem, he would turn a blind eye to her, not to mention the child in her womb.
