The moment Hua Mujiao's voice fell, she strode forward and pulled out the sword at Yan Hua's waist. The moment she stabbed her sword at her grandson, Chu Feng, she didn't have the slightest hesitation.

As for his grandson, Chu Yu, he had accepted his fate and was looking to die. His eyes were tightly shut, and only the desire to die was revealed on his face.

"Puff …"

The sword pierced into his grandson's body. As he was in pain, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Hua Mujiao drew her sword, and coldly stared at the man kneeling in front of her, without a shred of sympathy or pity.

Blood dripped from the sword blade as Hua Mu Jin turned around. Seemingly not wanting to see his grandson's face again, she waved her hand at Yan Hua and Dan Yu.

"Drag him away."

"Yes."

"Simply stay, I have something that I want you to do."

When Dan Yu and Yan Hua dragged their grandson Chu along to the entrance of the chamber, Hua Mujiao called out to Dan Yu.

"Princess, please give your instructions."

"Keep an eye on the Eternal Music Palace and don't let anyone hurt Xuanfei, especially Imperial Concubine Jing. Keep an eye on her. "In addition, when Yan Hua comes back later, tell him to send a letter to the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Hua Mu Jin was calculating something, but no one knew.

He would only accept her orders and would not ask her any questions.

However, if he were to secretly protect Xuanfei, then …

"Princess, you can hand over the matter of protecting Xuanfei to someone else. The palace hasn't been peaceful recently, so this subordinate believes that your safety is the most important."

Turning her head, Hua Mujiao looked at Dan Yu, an icy cold light flashed in the corner of her eyes.

"I know what you're worried about. Relax, with my current identity, they still don't dare to openly attack me. Even if they do come here to scam us, it will depend on whether they have the ability to do so. In addition, Nan Ge has been protecting him from the shadows, so there shouldn't be any problems. "

Just because she was worried about him, she knew about the flower, hibiscus.

But at the same time, she was still worried about Mu Qiu's safety.

"Yes, your subordinate understands."

It was just as Nangong Qianhua had said, on the morning of the second day, the ministers and officials had signed a letter and sent a memorial to Bai Zhan Ke. The memorial only contained words of reprimand to Princess Xi, those words were meant to be used to describe the current Hua Mu Jin: merciless, venomous, and venomous.

And the most important thing in the imperial report was to request for the Emperor to punish the sin flower, Hibiscus rubra.

And this so-called punishment, was it a capital offense, or was it the crime of being beheaded by a crowd on the streets?

Naturally, when Bai Zhan Ke received this memorial, he directly threw the imperial report into the hands of the head minister. It was said that his face at that time was terrifyingly dark.

Although this imperial edict had been jointly written by the ministers and officials, what was strange was that as Xuanfei's father, the Right Prime Minister, did not sign his name on the imperial edict. Instead, he said a few words of praise for Hua Mujiao in the imperial court.

This matter was inconceivable to everyone.

Even though it was a joint letter from the ministers and officials, the emperor had always held this matter in custody. If anyone brought it up, the emperor would fly into a rage and reprimand the officials.

Even though he was the king, the pressure exerted by the officials was not small.

Even though he wanted to protect Mu Jin, this matter could not be suppressed for long.

Tens of days later, the empress dowager finally couldn't hold it in and went to find the palace.

"Chenqie pays respects to the empress dowager. The empress dowager is blessed."

"Blessed are the Queen Mother."

When the empress dowager came to the palace, Bai Zhan Ke and Hua Mu Jin happened to be there, but it was unknown whether the empress dowager came to find Hua Mu Jin or Bai Zhan Ke.

"There's no one else here, why are you all doing this?"

The empress dowager had Senior Servant Qin help help her sit down, but her tone was filled with loathing towards Hua Mujie and Bai Zhan Ke.

"Empress Dowager is right, then forgive me for being impolite. However, I'm very curious. Did Empress Dowager come here today to find me or the Emperor? "

The empress dowager cast a glance at Hua Mujiao before waving a hand at Qin mama, signaling her to withdraw.

Qin mama understood, bowed, and left.

"The matter of Imperial Concubine Xi harming Long Si has already been made known to everyone in Huan Yue Country. Right now, even the commoners are denouncing you, wanting to have the Emperor punish you for your crimes. I didn't expect that after seeing you today, you would look so relaxed, as if this had never happened. This mentality of yours makes me admire you."

With a smile, Hua Mujiao glanced at Bai Zhan Ke, the trust in her eyes clear as day.

"The empress dowager is praising me too much. Isn't this because I've found a good man? Even if the sky falls, he'll still hold on for me, don't you think so, empress dowager?"

There was a deeper meaning to Hua Mujie's words, and the Empress Dowager understood it.

"Hmph, don't be too proud too early. Even if it's the sky, there will still be a time when it falls. Even if there's someone to support you, it might not be enough to support you for a lifetime. Who can say for sure?"

Her Majesty meant nothing more than to say that sooner or later she would defeat the White Battlefield.

"Is that so? "Then we can only wait and see."

"What is the Empress Dowager's intention for this trip?"

Hua Mujiao and the Empress Dowager pinched each other's lips, while Bai Zhan Ke, who was standing to one side, didn't sound too comfortable either.

Since it had already been revealed, there was no need for both sides to hide.

"It's been so many years, I'm sure the emperor has already found out that your mufei is over there. Right now, the emperor has Yu'er under house arrest, and we both have each other's weak points. Since that's the case, why make a deal to hand over the other's weak points? What do you think, your majesty?"

As the Empress Mother spoke, Bai Zhan Ke's hands had already clenched into fists.

Hua Mujiao knew that right now, Bai Zhan Ke wanted to kill this old demoness right in front of him, but he was holding himself back.

While thinking, Hua Mujiao stretched out her hand, covering Bai Zhan Ke's hand.

The warmth from her palm eased the tension a little.

"Sure, but how can I trust you?"

For Her Majesty, both White Battlegrass and Hibiscus floral are distrustful.

After all, this woman was too crafty and had many tricks up her sleeve.

"I presume that this object looks very familiar to Your Majesty?" "Look at how exquisite it is. I'm afraid even an ordinary craftsman would not be able to get such a fine and delicate jade hairpin, don't you think?"

The empress dowager took out a jade hairpin from her sleeve and held it up to look around. She didn't seem to like the hairpin at all.

When the empress dowager took out the jade hairpin, Bai Zhan Ke's hand clenched into a fist again.

"What do you think I should do?"

"It's very simple. Release Yu'er from her house arrest and restore her identity as the king of the Huan Yue Kingdom. Once the decree is passed, I will naturally release your mother, allowing you to reunite with her."

The Empress said it lightly, but Hibiscus Blossom always felt that something was wrong.

She looked at the white battle and then at the Empress Dowager.

Following that, Hua Mujie's lips curled up into a sinister smile, and his lips moved.

"Majesty, I don't think this is proper. Everyone knew that the prince was safe and sound within his estate. If the emperor had first issued an imperial decree to lift his house, then would the empress dowager have released his mufei? Or could it be that the person we are meeting is really mufei? "

The empress dowager was a crafty person. She had fought with Hua Mujiao multiple times, so she understood him well.

If he'd first passed down the imperial edict, this woman would likely have gone back on her word.

After all, in the hearts of everyone in the Huan Yue Country, the wife of Bai Zhan Ke had long since passed away.

If the empress dowager had done something she didn't know about, then this transaction would have been a trap for them.

"You, Hua Mu Jin, This Dowager isn't such a person. If you slander This Dowager like this, then do you know that this is a heinous crime!?"

A felony?

Hua Mujie found it funny in her heart, "So what if it's a big crime? Now that you are in the palace and only the three of us are here, even if you say that I am disrespectful and have slandered you, who will believe you? Furthermore, the words of the two people are better than the words of one person. "

As she spoke, Hua Mujiao's face suddenly sank.

She looked coldly at the empress dowager, her eyes cold.

"Empress Dowager, since you want to make a deal, then show us some sincerity. As long as you let us see mufei first, we'll immediately announce the imperial edict and hand over the person with one hand and hand over the imperial edict with the other. Fair!"

Honestly speaking, Hua Mujiao didn't want to waste words with the empress dowager, but in this situation, for the sake of her mother's concubine, she had no choice but to speak more to this old woman.

The empress dowager stared angrily at Hua Mu Jin, as if her plan had been completely in vain. She wanted nothing more than to tear Hua Mu Jin into pieces to vent her anger.

"What if This Dowager says no?"

As soon as the empress dowager finished speaking, Hua Mujiao suddenly laughed.

Then, she slowly stood up and walked towards the empress dowager.

At the same time, a dagger slipped out of her sleeve.

"You, you, Hua Mu Jin, what do you want to do? You dare to kill This Dowager? Do you know that this is a crime that involves nine families? "

When the empress dowager saw Hua Mujiao shake the dagger in her hand, she felt a little guilty, her forehead beading with sweat.

Hua Mu Jin smiled as he looked at her, the dagger in her hand being played skillfully.

"A family of nine? Did the empress dowager forget that I was a princess of the Southern Kingdom? Could it be that the empress dowager wanted to destroy the entire Southern Kingdom? Even if the empress dowager wants to, it'll still depend on whether you have the ability to. "

The Empress Dowager knew exactly how strong the Southern Kingdom was.

However, Hua Mujie's threat of wielding a dagger made her feel a sense of danger.

"Even if This Dowager's family can't exterminate the Southern Kingdom, if you kill This Dowager, what do you think the official minister won't say? The people of Huan Yue wouldn't say anything? At that time, the Emperor will be convicted of murdering his father and mother. "

Killing the parents?

"I know, Huan Yue's country has already passed laws, and the emperor is guilty of violating the law, both with the commoners and with the commoners. If you were to die in the palace today, the emperor would definitely be responsible for your actions." I know, Huan Yue's country's laws, and the emperor is guilty of violation of the law, also with the commoners.

"However …"

As she spoke, the sinister smile on Hua Mujiao's face deepened. She picked up the dagger and pressed it against the empress dowager's neck, as if she was about to cut her throat in the next second.
