Hibiscus had been trying to find out who had killed the pearl.

After so long, she had already suspected Bai Lingyu and the empress dowager, but because there was no evidence, she wasn't sure if the pearl had been killed by Bai Lingyu or the empress dowager.

"Pearl was killed by a hitman who was bribed by Senior Concubine Jing."

Mu Qiu's words were like a bolt from a clear sky as it struck onto Hua Mu Jin's body.

Hua Mu Jin had suspected many people, but never Ye Yi Xin.

During the hunt, Ye Yi Xin's performance had been too weak. Moreover, she had exposed any signs of her weakness. Therefore, Hua Mu Jin hadn't expected that Ye Yi would do such a thing.

But Mu Qiu's words really made Hua Mu Jin at a loss for words.

"Actually, at that time, Senior Concubine Jing didn't mention Pearl's name. I only heard her maidservant say that you were afraid that you would find out that the palace maid by your side had died because of them, so Senior Concubine Jing hadn't joined hands with the empress dowager recently. At that time, Senior Concubine Jing had only replied with one sentence, "Even if you find out that your palace maid's death was related to her, without any evidence, you still wouldn't be able to do anything to her."

After Mu Qiu finished speaking, Hua Mu Jin sat on the chair as though she had been frozen, not moving in the slightest.

At this moment, Hua Mujiao's hands were tightly clenched into fists.

A pair of deep eyes exuded an icy aura.

"I understand. Mu Qiu, thank you for telling me."

After a long time, Hua Mu Jin regained her senses and replied to Mu Qiu's words.

In her heart, she was truly thankful towards Mu Qiu for telling her this, because she swore that she would definitely take revenge for the pearl.

She hadn't been able to find the murderer, but now that she found out who it was, she would definitely make the person who killed Pearl die a more miserable death than a pearl!

Big Sister Jin Jin, I know you want to avenge Pearl, but Imperial Concubine Jing isn't a good person. It's best if you're careful when dealing with her.

In this half a month of pretending to be unconscious, Mu Qiu had clearly seen Ye La Xin's true appearance.

This woman was not only vicious and merciless, but she also did all sorts of things to harm people.

Because she was pretending to be unconscious, Ye Yi Xin was afraid that Mu Qiu was faking it for the past half month. Normally, after the palace maids were dismissed, she would use a silver needle to prick the meridians in her hand.

Because the silver needles were relatively thin, they were pierced and then extracted from the meridians. Because the imperial physicians' pulse checking was separated by a veil, even the imperial physicians did not find any traces of her being pricked by the silver needles.

"Did she do something to you?"

Seeing Mu Qiu's suddenly slightly fearful gaze, Hua Mujin realized that Ye Yi Xin must have done something to Mu Qiu while he was in a coma.

Moreover, it was a very excessive thing to do.

"I'm fine. It's just that she would use silver needles to prick my meridians everyday to see if I was really unconscious."

Hearing Mu Qiu's words, Hua Mujiao slammed the table and stood up.

"Damn it!" After we finish off the empress dowager, I'll make her live a life worse than death! "

When Hua Mujiao learned that it was Ye La Xin who killed the pearl, she had already secretly vowed to kill Ye La Xin. However, she stopped Mu Qiu from saying that she had used silver needles to prick Mu Qiu's meridians every day during the half month that Mu Qiu had been in a coma.

How vicious and merciless could a person be?

"Big sis Jin, I'm really fine. It was pain in the beginning, but she's been pricking me every day. Instead, she's been numb and doesn't feel anything anymore."

"Don't ask too many questions about this matter. You rest first. Later, I'll have Dan Yu bring you to the banquet."

In fact, since childhood, hibiscus flower is very afraid of injection.

Just thinking about it, if someone were to use a silver needle to pierce his meridians, and even if he had to show a completely emotionless appearance, Hua Mu Jin wouldn't be able to stand it.

What's more, there were several levels of pain when he injected acupuncture and pierced his meridians with silver needles.

"Mm. Alright."

After he finished explaining things to Mu Qiu, Hua Mu Jin left the side hall.

Originally, Hua Mujiao wanted to return to her own sleeping quarters, but she suddenly remembered that today, she hadn't gone to see her mother's concubine in a war of attrition, so she wandered off to the small courtyard.

"Empress, you've come?"

"Mm, where's mufei?"

When the green bamboo saw Hua Mu Jin's figure from afar, it stepped forward and respectfully bowed.

"The grand imperial concubine is inside. We just had breakfast. The marquis is inside accompanying her."

"Master Hou?"

Bai Yan? The flower hibiscus was very surprised.

Bai Zhan Ke had said that he couldn't let Bai Yan know that his mother's concubine was still alive. How did this Bai Yan suddenly know that his mother's concubine was still alive, and in his own palace?

"That's right, the emperor led the marquis here yesterday. The marquis didn't go back to the marquis' house for the whole night and accompanied the imperial concubine to speak. After he went back and changed his clothes, he came back again."

Did Bai Zhan Ke come with Bai Yan?

Hua Mu Jin was a bit confused.

Didn't he say that he couldn't tell her that she was still alive?

Why didn't he comply with her words?

"Go back to your work, I'll go in and take a look."

Hua Mujiao waved towards the green bamboo, then walked towards the house.

Because the door to the house wasn't closed, Hua Mujiao was tiptoeing, curious to eavesdrop on Bai Yan and mufei's conversation. But as soon as she stepped through the door, she was discovered.

"Is it Jin'er?"

Luo Lan suddenly asked, and Bai Yan turned around to look at the door.

Coincidentally, she saw him pause, and with one foot in the room and one foot outside the house, she saw the flower hibiscus.

"What are you sneaking around at the door for? Stealing from people? "

Hua Mujiao shot a glance at Bai Yan, "You're the one who's stealing from me, this is my Hibiscus Temple. I've come here quietly to see mufei, don't tell me you have to report this to Thirteenth Imperial Uncle?"

As Hua Mujiao spoke, she walked towards Ruo Lan, sat down beside Ruo Lan, and took Ruo Lan's hand.

"Mufei, how do you feel today? Are you any better than before?"

"Alright, Green Bamboo took good care of me, don't worry."

In fact, aside from the hibiscus flower green bamboo to closely take care of Rulan, hibiscus flower also patted Yan Hua to protect their safety.

Although it was true that Ruo Lan lived in the palace, she still had to send someone to assassinate her just in case.

Double insurance, a bit more relieved.

"Oh right, little girl, I heard Master Hou say that you were pregnant, is that true? Why do I feel that you are still very thin when I touch you? Did you not eat well, or did you not rest well? "

Actually, Bai Yan didn't intend to tell Ruo Lan about the pregnancy of the orchid hibiscus, but he accidentally leaked it. In the end, after being interrogated by Ruo Lan, he could only tell her about the pregnancy of the hibiscus.

Ruo Lan touched the hibiscus flower with her bony hand. The hibiscus flower felt a little itchy, but she didn't try to avoid it.

On the contrary, she was still touched by Ruo Lan, while in front of her, Bai Yan was nearly glared to death.

"Mufei, I've only been pregnant for a short period of time, I can't tell. Don't worry, I'm in good health, don't worry about me. It's more important to take care of your health."

Actually, since Ruo Lan was like this now, Flower Hibiscus still felt somewhat guilty.

After all, if it hadn't been for her helping her mother, the empress dowager wouldn't have set her sights on her, and she wouldn't have ended up in such a sorry state.

"Oh right, mufei, my first imperial uncle is the eldest prince of the Southern Kingdom. He is proficient in medicine and strange techniques, so he's currently in the Hibiscus Palace. I'll have her come over and take a look, right?"

"The First Prince of the Southern Kingdom? I seem to have heard about it yesterday. But, there's no need to go through all that trouble. Didn't the imperial physician already see my body?

There were several toxins remaining in Ruo Lan's body, all of which had been diagnosed by the imperial physician.

According to the imperial physician, even if Ruo Lan took good care of herself from now on, she would still not live past three years.

The remaining poison in her body would slowly erode her body, leaving her internal organs in a state of exhaustion and eventually causing her death.

"That's no problem. If you want to see, you have to. Mufei, can you sit with Thirteenth Imperial Uncle for a while? I'll go find Eldest Imperial Uncle."

With that, Hua Mujie stood up and ran out the door.

However, just as she reached the door, she forcibly knocked down a firm chest.

"Ah, hiss …"

Because she wasn't prepared to run into him, Hua Mujiao directly knocked down her nose, causing her to grimace in pain.

"What's wrong? "Did you bump into it?"

As soon as she heard the pain, Ruo Lan stood up worriedly, wanting to find Hua Mu Jin.

"Mufei, I-I'm fine. Please sit first, I'm really fine."

Raising her head, Hua Mujiao stared at this man with a sturdy chest, wishing she could eat him in one bite.

"Where did he hit?"

Bai Zhan Ke looked at Hua Mujiao with an innocent and pained expression. He wanted to touch her, but Hua Mujiao opened his hands and turned his back to her.

"Humph, where did you say we hit? "I'm in so much pain that I don't even know how to walk. Do you want me to marry you to your new wife?!"

Hua Mujie's nose was in so much pain from the collision that it hurt her to death. She covered her nose, feeling extremely wronged in her heart.

When she took her hand away, she saw the blood flowing from her nose to her hand.

"Ah, it's bleeding, Bai Zhan Ke, you, you …" Woo … "Howl …"

Looking at the blood on her hands, Hua Mujiao pretended to cry.

Hearing this, Bai Zhan Ke turned Hua Mu Jin right, facing him.

"Does it hurt?"

Seeing the blood flowing out of her nose, she frowned.

"What's bleeding?" Jin'er, where did you bump into? "Are you sure you're alright? How could you bleed when you're fine?"

Sitting at the table, Ruo Lan heard Hibiscus Flower saying that she was bleeding. It was an anxious scene. She felt around to see if she could reach Hibiscus Flower's side.

Due to being worried, Ruo Lan hooked the legs of the chair. If not for Bai Yan's quick reaction, she would have already fallen to the ground.

"Mufei, I'm really alright. Please take a seat, I'm just bleeding from my nose."

"Don't hug so tightly, there are still so many people here. "Huan Yue, step aside, I'll take her pulse."

Behind Bai Zhan Ke, Mu Xuanli and Mu Yuze were there as well.

In the beginning, the two of them only looked at Hua Mu Jin as if they were spectators watching a play. However, after seeing Hua Mu Jin's nosebleed, the worry on their faces became clear.
