Marry Under Order, Hot Tempered Queen - C199
“If I plead guilty to the people of Huan Yue and all of the ministers, saying that it was I who killed you and that it had nothing to do with the emperor, do you think, empress dowager, that anyone would say that the emperor killed you?”
Hua Mujiao’s tone was ice-cold, and he couldn’t feel even the slightest bit of heat.
It was as if she had already made up her mind to perish together with the empress dowager.
“Hua Mu Jin, have you gone mad? You actually want to perish together with This Dowager? Could it be that you’re willing to part with the Emperor and your current position? ”
Faced with such an appearance of hibiscus floral, the empress dowager did not feel confident.
She even felt that the current Hibiscus Flower was a madman.
“I’ve gone mad, but I was driven mad by you, empress dowager!”
“Hmph, haha …”
Suddenly the Empress laughed.
Hua Mujiao furrowed his brows. Seeing the empress dowager laugh so loudly like she was crazy, the hand holding the dagger nearly slit her throat.
“Flower Hibiscus, want to kill This Dowager? Then why don’t you do it! However, after you kill This Dowager, the imperial concubine and your good sister Mu Qiu will all be buried with This Dowager. Do you really think This Dowager would dare to come to this palace without any preparation? Right, even you, will have to accompany This Dowager in death! ”
“You …!”
Hua Mujiao didn’t expect the empress dowager to have such a trick up her sleeve.
However, she had no plans to take the life of the empress dowager in the palace.
After all, she had no intention of becoming the world’s sinner.
“Esteemed Empress Dowager, it’s best not to be too confident. Although mufei is in your hands, I know very well how she’s been tortured.” Furthermore, Mu Qiu betrayed me. It’s fine if I don’t have such a sister. “As for my life, it’s a cheap life. Besides you, it’s a very good deal to pave the way for the emperor.”
“Hua Mujiao, you’ve really gone mad!”
The empress dowager had not expected that Hibiscus Blossom would say such a thing.
She had already thought of a way out, and the chips in her hand was discarded.
“Alright, This Dowager promises you that I’ll let you all meet that slut first. But at the same time, I ask you, Your Majesty, to draw up an imperial edict so that when you hand over that woman, This Dowager must receive her imperial edict. Otherwise, This Dowager cannot guarantee that she will still be alive!”
With that, the Empress Mother opened Hua Mujie’s hand against her neck, stood up and angrily flicked her sleeves as she left.
Hua Mu Jin looked at the empress dowager who had left and heaved a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, Hua Mu Jin fell into a warm embrace. Bai Zhan Ke’s breath landed on Hua Mu Jin’s neck, making her feel a little itchy.
“What’s wrong? Worried about me? ”
“Mm. You shouldn’t have taken your life as a threat.”
A gentle smile appeared on Hua Mujiao’s face as she was tightly hugged by Bai Zhan Ke.
“I was only bluffing. I’m not that stupid. I’m going to use my life to accompany her. Furthermore, even if I did kill her and plead guilty in front of everyone under the heavens, I know that you would definitely be able to protect me.
In the past, Hibiscus vulgaris wanted to kill the empress dowager in one blow.
However, after thinking about it, she had done so many bad things. If she were to kill him, not only would she not be able to resolve her hatred, but she would also become the empress dowager of Huan Yue Country.
Since that was the case, she might as well ruin her reputation and end up with the title of empress dowager she cared most about. Wouldn’t it be even better if she died and didn’t enjoy it?
“Jin’er, don’t leave us.”
“Yes.”
The next day, the empress dowager did keep her promise and delivered Bai Zhan Ke’s mufei to the Hibiscus Palace. The moment she saw Bai Zhan peng mufei, Hua Mujiao’s heart felt as if it had been whipped, and the pain was unbearable.
As for Bai Zhan Ke, he could feel tears welling up in his eyes as he watched his mother lose her human form.
Following that, the decree to remove Bai Linyu’s house arrest was also issued. At the same time, Bai Linyu also regained her status as a prince. The already wavering ministers all turned to her side.
The day after Bai Lingyu was released from his house arrest, he went to the morning court. The morning court, he wrote a letter to the emperor, and was reprimanded by the emperor for punishing Hibiscus on his death.
But at the same time, the Right Prime Minister, who had been speaking up for Hua Mujiao, also stood at the side with Bai Lingyu, requesting for the Emperor to punish her.
Due to his rage, Bai Zhan Ke swung his draconic robe and charged down. This matter was temporarily stabilized.
“I’ve been wondering why the empress dowager would exchange mufei for white feathers at this time. Now I finally know what’s going on. She’s steeled her heart and wanted to get rid of me first.”
Within Hibiscus Temple, Hibiscus Mutabilis sat by a table, leisurely sipping tea.
Even though this matter had caused a huge commotion, she still looked like an outsider, not the least bit worried.
“The backer behind you is the entire Southern Kingdom. If he doesn’t get rid of you, he will have to include the entire Southern Kingdom in his plan to deal with the war. If we are to include the entire Southern Kingdom in our plan, do you think that she has the confidence to win?”
On one side, Bai Yan was holding a teacup, looking extremely relaxed.
“In the Sunlight Nation, if she lost her shield, she could only rest it on Bai Lingyu.”
Bai Zhan Ke got to the point.
To the Empress Dowager, this was like a thunderbolt striking down on her face. She could have relied on the State of Heaven’s Illumination to deal with the white war, but she wouldn’t have been able to deal with internal and external troubles.
But she didn’t expect that Nangong Yao would have the guts to kill her father, and not only that, he wouldn’t even let her off the hook.
“Does this count as a dog jumping off a wall when it’s in a hurry?”
That’s pretty much what it means. In the past few days, Bai Linyu’s movements have been extremely fast, and all of the ministers that he had taken back earlier have now turned their backs on him. It is because he is certain that those ministers do not like you, that is why they are acting so quickly at this critical juncture.
White Feather …
As for Bai Linyu, Hua Mu Jin actually didn’t want to become enemies with him.
Firstly, it was because he was too shrewd, and secondly, although he had been using Qin Wentian previously, he had never harmed him.
“Little girl, if Bai Lingyu and the Minister continue to make a ruckus like this, I’m afraid the war will break out sooner or later.” “You still feel threatened. Even if Zhan Ke wants to protect you, I’m afraid he won’t be able to.”
Bai Yan was actually quite good to Hua Mujiao. It was just that this time, she appeared to be too calm and collected, making it difficult for him to touch her.
“Can I understand that Thirteenth Imperial Uncle, you’re worried about me?”
“Ahem …!”
Just as Hua Mujiao finished speaking, he heard Bai Zhan’s soft cough.
She tilted her head to look at Bai Zhan Ke and knew that this man was feeling jealous again.
“It is only natural to be worried. After all, you are my nephew’s wife. If you disappear, then he must not be depressed. According to his temperament, perhaps he might be willing to die with you.”
A martyr?
Hua Mu Jin couldn’t believe it. She looked at Bai Zhan Ke in shock, “That can’t be, right?”
“As for that!”
“…”
This word was the answer to Bai Zhan Ke’s question.
Hua Mu Jin was a bit speechless, but this answer made her quite happy.
“If that’s the case, then am I not allowed to die? Otherwise, who knows what kind of disaster people might scold me as. ”
“Yes.”
“A joke is a joke. Girl, you tell this lord what your plans are. I can see that you’re neither impatient nor impatient. Have you found a way to deal with Bai Linyu and the empress dowager?” “Tell me about it, and let this grandpa prepare a bit to add fuel to the fire.”
Bai Yan was quite curious about the flower hibiscus plan.
Although he could imagine that Hua Mujiao might have moved out of the Southern Kingdom, he didn’t know how she would deal with Bai Lingyu and the empress dowager.
“About that, I won’t tell you the secret!”
Half a month had passed since Mu Qiu had fallen into the water, and Bai Zhan had suppressed the matter time and time again. However, the morning assembly was finally unable to continue on.
“Your majesty, although there are countless imperial concubines in the imperial harem, there’s no mischievous concubine who possesses a dragon heir. This is a joyous news, but because of Empress Xi’s jealousy, esteemed wangfei lost her dragon heir, and according to the laws of Huan Yue Country, it is a serious crime that involves the nine clans. Your majesty has repeatedly protected Empress Xi, and it has caused the dissatisfaction of all citizens of Huan Yue.
In the imperial court, Bai Linyu was dressed in her official uniform, looking rather handsome and courteous.
However, what he said actually made people feel afraid.
“Your Majesty, this subject believes that what Your Highness said is correct. I hope Your Majesty can punish Empress Xi.”
“Your Majesty, this subject agrees …”
All of a sudden, more than half of the ministers kneeled on the ground and asked the same thing, asking for Hua Mujie’s punishment.
“Who said that I would be punished?”
However, at this moment, Hua Mujiao suddenly wore a light purple concubine attire and walked out from the side like a noble immortal.
When Bai Lingyu raised his head to look at her, she was stunned.
At the same time, Hua Mu Jin also coincidentally looked at Bai Ling Yu.
The two looked at each other, and Hua Mu Jin showed Bai Ling Yu a very gentle smile.
Hua Mujiao walked towards Bai Linyu, her smile growing wider as she looked at him.
“It seems that you really don’t like me. You actually want me to die so badly. This truly makes me sad.”
Bai Linyu did not say anything, but stared fixedly at Hua Mu Jin as the corner of her mouth curled up into a smile.
“I really don’t know how I offended all of you. You actually made all of you ministers work together like this. You want to kill me? My heart is as cold as snow, extremely cold.”
While speaking, Hua Mujiao headed towards the Dragon Throne, towards Bai Zhan Ke.
Step by step, she ascended the stairs until she reached the very top. Only then did she turn around in a dangerous manner, looking down upon all the ministers and officials below.
“Imperial Concubine Xi, the imperial harem is not allowed to participate in politics. For you to suddenly appear in the imperial court, I’m afraid you must be violating the rules.”
“The imperial court is not a place for women to appear. I hope the emperor can order Imperial Concubine Xi to withdraw.”
