The emperor's husband wants to hug

Chapter 169
Shan Yu turned around, smiled politely at Nan Ge, and walked back in the direction of Jinxi Palace.

It's not that Shan Yu believed in Nan Ge, but he felt that Nan Ge was from the palace. Since he said he was from the Queen Mother's Palace, that palace man was really from the Queen Mother.

But even if the people in the palace belonged to the Empress Dowager's palace, it didn't necessarily mean that the person who plotted against Emperor Huanyue was the Empress Dowager.

Back at Jinxi Palace, Shan Yu told Hua Mujin everything he saw.

There was a sneer at the corner of Hua Mujin's mouth, "It's the queen mother again. She plotted against Mu Qiu, and the purpose was to make me and Mu Qiu turn against each other. The fire in Changle Palace last night should be set by the queen mother."

What Hua Hibiscus said seemed to be speaking to Shan Yu, but also seemed to be talking to himself.

Shan Yu looked at her and moved his lips.

Then, he said, "Princess, I feel that this is not as simple as you think."

Hearing this, Hua Mujin raised her head, she looked at Shan Yu for a long time, and then asked: "You mean, the Queen Mother's purpose is not just to make Mu Qiu and I turn against each other?"

Shan Yu nodded. In the Southern King's Palace, there were no intrigues in the harem. At this moment, Shan Yu finally understood why the king sent him and Yan Hua to protect the safety of the princess.

"Although my subordinates have little contact with these intrigues, they have been doing business with the eldest prince for two years, and there are many such tricks in business struggles."

For Shan Yu, Hua Hibiscus is quite trustworthy.

Because he was from the Southern Kingdom and was sent by the Southern King to her side, Shan Yu had no reason to betray her at all.

"Then what do you think is the Queen Mother's purpose?"

I saw that Shan Yu shook his head.

Said: "I don't know, but I can be sure that it's not that simple. You must be on guard. Princess, you'd better be more careful about that concubine named Mu Qiu."

Hua Mujin frowned slightly, as if she was thinking about something.

Bai Zhanke asked her to guard against Mu Qiu because Bai Zhanke didn't trust Mu Qiu.

However, even Shan Yu made her be wary of Mu Qiu, she couldn't believe that Mu Qiu would unite with the Queen Mother to deal with her.

Thinking about it, a person flashed in Hua Mujin's mind.

"Shan Yu, how are your martial arts and lightness skills?"

Hearing this, Shan Yu was taken aback for a moment, not understanding why Hua Mujin suddenly asked about his martial arts.

After thinking for a while, he still replied: "This subordinate dare not say that his martial arts are outstanding, but if he competes with Commander Nan, his subordinate should not lose."

Shan Yu is not boasting, although he is only the secret guard of the southern king, but his martial arts is relatively outstanding among the secret guards.

"So confident? So, this matter, the princess has to be entrusted to you to be at ease."

"Princess, please tell me."

Hua Hibiscus hooked Shan Yu, motioning him to get closer, and then gave Shan Yu some instructions in a voice that could only be heard by two people.

After Hua Mujin finished speaking, a gloomy smile appeared on the corner of Shan Yu's mouth.

"Princess, don't worry, this subordinate will definitely do it."

After finishing speaking, Shan Yu walked out of the bedroom.

After Shanyu left, Hua Mujin also got up and left the bedroom.

"Ma'am, where are you going?"

Nan Ge, who had been waiting outside the hall, watched Hua Mujin come out, and asked.

Hua Mujin smiled at him, and said: "Two days ago, Imperial Concubine Jing loosened ginseng for Bengong to make up for my body. Concubine Jing is at least higher than Bengong, so I should come to the door in person anyway, go It’s about expressing gratitude.”

Hua Mujin's smile was a bit creepy, Nan Ge swallowed his saliva, as for what Hua Mujin was going to Yonghe Hall, he didn't continue to ask.

But in order to protect the safety of Hua Mujin, he also went to the Hall of Yonghe.

"The concubine pays her respects to the imperial concubine, and the imperial concubine is well."

When they arrived at the Hall of Yonghe, Hua Mujin blessed his body and saluted Ye Wanxin.

"Sister Concubine Xi, please hurry up, I don't dare to ask Concubine Xi to salute you, if the emperor finds out, wouldn't it be distressing for a while."

There was a sour taste in Ye Wanxin's words, Hua Mujin could hear it naturally.

However, she didn't care.

"As for the imperial concubine, the status of a concubine is lower than yours. This salute is a rule, and it is naturally unavoidable."

From the moment she entered the Hall of Eternal Harmony, Hua Mujin had always had a smile on her face.

Ye Wanxin looked at her with a smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Sister Concubine Xi, why did you think of the Palace of Eternal Harmony in my palace today?"

"The imperial concubine is the head of the Huanyue Kingdom's harem. Because the concubine is weak and the emperor loves her, the concubine is exempted from paying her respects. However, according to the rules of the harem, the concubine should come to pay her respects every day."

Ye Wanxin listened to Hua Mujin's words "head of the harem" and felt very comfortable.

But that sentence "the emperor loves you" made her feel very angry.

"The noble concubine has a kind heart. Not only did she not blame the ministers and concubines for not coming to pay her respects, but she also ordered people to send ginseng to make up the ministers and concubines. The concubines are ashamed. No matter how much the emperor loves the concubines, the concubines are still inferior to the concubines. Your generosity."

In Hua Mujin's words, both praise and criticism are mixed.

When she said these words, she didn't intend to get close to Ye Wanxin, nor did she intend to win Ye Wanxin over.

But she will say this, naturally she has her intentions.

"Sister Concubine Xi is really flattering me. Everyone in Huanyue Kingdom knows that the emperor loves you very much, Concubine Xi. In the emperor's heart, you are the only concubine Xi. In the end, you will not be favored by the emperor, Sister Concubine Xi, what do you think?"

Ye Wanxin endured the anger in her heart, and the smile on her face froze.

She would give ginseng to Hua Mujin, not because she wanted to plot or harm Hua Mujin, she just wanted to let the emperor know that Ye Wanxin still exists in this huge harem.

But today, Hua Mujin took this matter to provoke her, which she did not expect.

"The imperial concubine should know that since ancient times, it has been the most ruthless emperor's family. Even if the concubine is now the sole favor of the emperor, it is not impossible for the concubine to offend the emperor one day. , in this harem, no matter how high or low we are, those of us who are concubines should still leave a way out for ourselves."

retreat?
Ye Wanxin sneered in her heart.

From the moment she entered the palace, she knew that the only way to be a concubine in the harem was to be a queen.

Only in that position can you protect yourself and your family.

"Why is little sister Xi concubine feeling so emotional today? Could it be that she and the emperor are at odds?"

Ye Wanxin knew about Mu Qiu and Bai Zhanke sharing the same bed last night.

She guessed that Hua Mujin probably thought that she would lose the emperor's favor, so she wanted to get someone to join forces with her?

"The concubine is just a small concubine, so how dare she get into trouble with the emperor? Actually, the emperor favored Concubine Xuan last night, so she must have known about it, right?"

Hearing this, Ye Wanxin smiled lightly with a flat expression.

"It's a matter of course that the emperor favors concubines in the harem. Although I am a noble concubine, my status is higher than that of Concubine Xi, but I don't dare to ask who the emperor favors."

From Ye Wanxin's expression, Hua Mujin knew that there must be Ye Wanxin's eyeliner in Jinxi Palace.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have acted so indifferently after hearing that Bai Zhanke favored Mu Qiu.

"That's right, that's why the concubine said that since ancient times, the courtiers and concubines fell out of favor with the emperor's family. It's probably a matter of time."

As he said that, Hua Mujin showed a sad expression.

Her soft sigh made Ye Wanxin secretly happy.

"Is Concubine Xi's sister overthinking? Even if the emperor favors Concubine Xuan, it's for the sake of continuing the royal family's blood. I think the emperor is in a hurry. He wants a dragon heir."

Dragon heir?

Hua Mujin suppressed her laughter, almost no one in the harem knew about her pregnancy.

Even Mu Qiu and Hua Mujin didn't tell.

"Hey, the imperial concubine doesn't know something. Before going to the southern country, the emperor and the imperial concubine Yi were making love to each other in the imperial garden. In the emperor's heart, he actually cares about the imperial concubine Yi very much. Otherwise, he wouldn't be screaming in his dreams. The name of Concubine Yi."

Upon hearing this, Ye Wanxin frowned.

In order not to let Hua Mujin see anything strange, she restrained her expression, and asked with a smile: "Sister Concubine Xi is really good at joking, the Emperor loves you so much, how could it be possible to call Concubine Yi's name in her sleep? "

Ye Wanxin's frown didn't escape Hua Mujin's eyes.

She showed grievances, and it seemed that people wanted to pity her.

"Your concubine, you know that Concubine Yi is the princess of Tianzhao Kingdom. When the emperor was the hostage in Tianzhao Kingdom, Concubine Yi sacrificed her life to save the emperor. How could the emperor forget the kindness of saving his life?"

It was Hua Mujin who inadvertently learned about Nangong Qianhua's rescue of Bai Zhanke from Shangguan Yi.

But she only knew that Nangong Qianhua saved Bai Zhanke, and she didn't know anything else.

"Besides, Tianzhao Kingdom and Huanyue Kingdom have been at odds since ancient times. The emperor's ability to accept Concubine Yi as a noble concubine according to the wedding ceremony shows that the emperor cares about Concubine Yi very much. Sometimes, as an emperor, in order to protect It is not impossible for the person I love in my heart to favor another concubine and mislead her."

"What's more, didn't the emperor show his concern for Concubine Yi when the prince and Concubine Yi were in the Royal Garden before? Otherwise, as an emperor, how could he take off his coat and give it to a concubine? The concubine wears it on her body?"

The more Hua Mujin talked, the more Ye Wanxin became hostile towards Nangong Qianhua.

When Bai Zhanke and Hua Mujin left the Southern Kingdom, the reason why she handed over the management of the harem to Nangong Qianhua was because of the queen mother's reasons, and secondly, she felt that Nangong Qianhua could cooperate with her, and there was no threat to her .

But now listening to Hua Mujin, she thinks about everything the emperor has done to Nangong Qianhua, and it is entirely possible that she is protecting Nangong Qianhua in another way.

Seeing that Ye Wanxin was lost in thought, Hua Mujin asked, "By the way, my concubine heard that you have handed over the harem to Concubine Yi to take care of it, is it true?"
