A warm current flowed out from his finger.

Hua Mujiao turned her head and looked at Bai Zhan in astonishment, goosebumps appearing all over her body in an instant.

"You, what are you doing?"

She tried to pull her hand away, but the white warrior's grip was too tight for her to do anything about it.

"Stop the bleeding."

This word was the answer to Bai Zhan Ke's question.

However, Hua Mujiao could not believe that the Emperor would actually put her finger into his mouth?

It even went as far as saying, letting her stop the bleeding?

This was simply overturning Hua Mu Jin's imagination of the ancient kings.

"What's with the blood? You're clearly sucking my blood. Don't you know there's bacteria in your saliva? Relax your hand, so many people are watching."

At this moment, Hua Mujiao's face was completely red. The court ladies that had gathered around due to her zither music were all looking at her, causing her to feel even more embarrassed.

"What are bacteria?"

Releasing his lips, Bai Zhan Ke looked at Hua Mu Jin's fingers. Seeing that there was no longer any blood flowing from them, he calmed his heart down.

On the other hand, his question had caught the attention of Hua Mujiao.

"Bacteria, bacteria are, well, anyway it's very unsanitary, easy to infect, no, no, it's very easy to cause inflammation, do you understand?"

As soon as the word infection came out of her mouth, Hua Mujiao felt that Bai Zhan definitely didn't understand, so she changed the word to describe her.

"Luo Chen, call the royal physician."

"…"

Sometimes, the flower hibiscus really does not know, white battle is really cute, or pretending to be cute.

When he heard Hua Mu Jin say that she would become angry, he immediately asked Luo Chen to pass on the message to the imperial physician.

Hua Mu Jin was speechless, he shook his head and sighed.

"Did you do it on purpose? I already told you, you don't need to call the royal doctors, it's just a small injury, isn't passing on to the royal doctors a waste? "

Hua Mujie's understanding of the imperial physician was that, in modern words, she was an expert.

Find an expert to see through his fingers, it really is...

"Aren't you going to be inflamed?"

"…"

Hua Mu Jin was speechless once again.

She stared at Bai Zhan Ke and was about to say something when Zhang Quan De suddenly ran over in a hurry.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, an urgent report at the border …"

Bai Zhan Ke looked at Zhang Quan De, then turned his head to look at Hua Mu Jin, his gaze finally landing on her finger.

"I'm fine. Go back to work."

"Wait for me to come back."

With that, he stood up and walked out of the palace.

"Why are they still surrounding us? "There's no need to work anymore. Get down, all of you."

After Bai Zhan Ke left, the palace maids from the Hibiscus Courtyard were still surrounding the pavilion. Hua Mujiao was truly a bit embarrassed, and she sternly chased the palace maids away.

"Little girl, you really know how to play the zither?"

Although Bai Zhan Ke was in a hurry to leave, Hua Mujiao didn't know why, but Bai Yan stayed behind.

"I'm fine, why haven't you left yet? Don't you need to follow the Emperor to deal with the emergency report at the border? "

Bai Yan smiled and then sat down at the side of Hua Mu Jin.

"I still believe in Shangguan Yi's ability. Even if it was an emergency report, it was definitely a good thing. I don't need to worry about it. Let's talk about playing the zither. "

Listening to Bai Yan say this, Hua Mujiao did not know why, but she felt a lot more at ease.

"What?" Could it be that Thirteenth Imperial Uncle is interested in the zither as well? "

"No, no …"

Bai Yan shook his head. The more Hua Mujiao looked at his face, the more she felt that he truly didn't look like someone in their forties.

She even began to suspect that in this ancient era, it was not as if all men grew up in reverse.

"Since you're not interested in the zither, then why are you asking so much?"

"Have you forgotten that I live by selling my skills? I'm not interested, but that doesn't mean I'm not interested. The girls in my building are not interested in zithers either."

Upon hearing this, Hua Mu Jin instantly understood Bai Yan's meaning.

"You want me to teach you how to play the zither?"

"Smart, you can tell at a little."

It wasn't impossible to teach someone how to play the zither.

However …

Suddenly, Hua Mu Jin revealed an evil smile.

She rested her hands on her cheeks and looked at Bai Yan, causing goosebumps to appear all over her body.

He looked at her warily and asked, "What are you trying to do? This grandpa is someone who does not sell himself for show. "

Hua Mu Jin rolled her eyes at Bai Yan and said, "Forget it, who would be interested in you? The only thing I'm interested in is silver. As long as you pay me silver, I can teach you how to play the zither. However, my tuition is very high, whether or not you pay me will depend on whether you can afford it. "

Bai Yan Chao Hua Mu Jin revealed a disdainful expression, and said, "I've been out for twenty years, I'm more or less rich. As long as you can raise the price, there's no money that I can't take out."

Instantly, Hua Mujiao's eyes began to emit a golden light.

"Alright, that's a deal then. However, you'll have to teach them after the war ends and Shangguan Yi and Bai Zhan come back victorious. Don't go back on your word then."

In her heart, Hua Mujiao had already thought of a way to extort Bai Yan, and she was even planning to take Bai Yan's money to open a few more shops.

Then, as they drove further and further away, she felt that she would become the richest person in Huan Yue …

Thinking this, Hibiscus vulgaris not only laughed out loud.

"His smile is so crafty. He really is from the Southern Kingdom, a country of commerce and trade. He looks like a crafty merchant."

Bai Yan naturally saw that Hua Mujiao wanted to extort some money from him, but he also had his own plans.

Hibiscus Blossom's melody was unique. As long as the girls in his building could learn it, the customers would naturally be endless and he would also be able to earn a lot.

"I am an evil businessman, so what? Can you control me? If you don't want me to teach you how to be a girl in a building, that's it, isn't it? "

"Fine, don't be like this grandpa didn't say anything. Can't this grandpa be wrong?"

Elsewhere, in the royal study.

Just as Bai Zhanzheng entered the imperial study, a soldier dressed in armor was standing in front of the table. He was covered in dust and was kneeling on the ground.

"Speak!"

"Reporting to the emperor, General Shangguan is injured …"

The soldier lowered his head, not daring to raise it.

Even though he wasn't looking at it, he could feel the coldness radiating from it.

"Why are you injured?"

"Back to the emperor, other than the traitors, General Shangguan ambushed the enemy when he was leading 30,000 soldiers to circle around the enemy kingdom. In the end, there were only 8,000 soldiers left, and the general was also severely injured. The soldiers desperately sent the general back to the barracks."

"Bam!"

Just as the soldier finished his sentence, Bai Zhan Ke slammed his fist on the table.

The entire royal study was enveloped in cold air.

"Who else knows about this?"

Returning to the emperor, the general is afraid that the news will spread, so he specially ordered the messenger to report back. The enemy nation only knows that the general is injured, but they do not know that the general is injured.

Half a month was the journey back to the palace at the border of Huan Yue.

However, if he was fast, he would be able to pass the border in ten days.

"You may leave."

"Yes."

Shangguan Yi was seriously injured at the border. If this matter was known by the enemy, they would definitely use this opportunity to take over the border.

There was no time to delay the departure of the White Battlefield.

He even thought that he would immediately head out for the border crossing, but he couldn't.

She could not let the empress dowager see that something was wrong, or else …

"Luo Chen!"

"Your subordinate is here."

"When will the army move from the south to the north arrive?"

The fact that there was a traitor in the army was to be expected.

After all, if the empress dowager secretly dealt with the State of Heaven, it would be a piece of cake for her to place some people in the army.

However, he hadn't expected that this would result in Shangguan Yi being seriously injured.

"Reporting to Master, we can arrive within half a month."

Half Moon...

This was all after the White War.

"What about food?"

"It's already been half a month since I last ate the food. I should be able to arrive in less than three days."

The soldiers were injured, but it wasn't just the generals who were hurt, but also the morale of the soldiers.

If they didn't reach the border sooner, and if the Heavenly Sunlight Nation attacked, the Huan Yue Country would definitely lose.

"Send down the order, we will set off tomorrow and split up the troops …"

After giving orders to Luo Chen, Bai Zhan Ke stayed in the royal study for a long time, before finally getting up and returning to the Hibiscus Courtyard.

By the time he returned to the Hibiscus Courtyard, the sky had already begun to turn dark.

"What's wrong? An emergency at the border, did something bad happen? "

Upon seeing Bai Zhan Ke return, even though Bai Zhan Ke had a calm expression, Hua Mu Jin still sensed that something was off.

"It's fine. Pack your things, and after midnight, follow Thirteenth Imperial Uncle out of the palace. We have already announced to the outside that you have returned to the Southern Kingdom."

Bai Zhan Ke didn't want to say anything, and Hua Mujiao didn't intend to pursue this line of questioning.

Because she knew that Bai Zhan Ke didn't want to worry her.

"Mm, I've already packed up. You're leaving tomorrow, so you have to be careful on the road. I'm afraid the empress dowager will send assassins to block the way, so you can't have any accidents. Otherwise, the child in my stomach will have to call someone else 'father'."

Hua Mujie really did not want the atmosphere to become too heavy, so she started to joke with Bai Zhan Ke.

However, Bai Zhan Ke's face darkened because of her joke.

"Aiya, I was joking with you. Don't have a dark face, you don't look good at all. I still like your overbearing appearance of an overlord. You're too cool."

Hua Mu Jin and Bai Zhan Ke stayed in the chamber until Bai Yan came to pick up Hua Mu Jin. Only then did they reluctantly leave.

Although Hua Mu Jin had already made up her mind to secretly follow them, she was still very worried.

Hibiscus Blossom was wearing the clothes of a palace maid as she sat in Bai Yan's carriage and smoothly left the palace.

As for the matter of Hua Mu Jin leaving the palace, other than Nangong Qian Hua, no one else in the palace knew about it.

"Thirteenth Imperial Uncle, did something happen at the border?"

From the look on Bai Zhan Ke's face, it could be seen that the urgent news of the border crossing was not a good one.

"How could anything happen to him? With Shangguan Yi in charge, do you still not trust him?"

Shangguan Yi's ability was known to Flower Hibiscus Mutabilis.

However, when she was playing the zither in the afternoon, she had a bad premonition. She did not think that her premonition was wrong.

"Bai Yan, honestly speaking, did something really happen at the border? The Heavenly Light Empire has more troops than our country, could it be that we have fallen into a bitter battle? "

Inside the carriage, Hua Mu Jin stared at Bai Yan with an extremely serious expression.

Bai Yan looked at her, sighed, and said, "Shangguan Yi is injured, and the morale of the troops is unstable. If the Sunlight Sect attacks right now, they will lose control of the border."

"Injured, how could he be injured? Is it serious? "
