Chapter 25 Feng Hua Chang Zai

Xia He was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat and trembled: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please spare my life! I know I was wrong, please spare my family, Your Majesty..."

She knelt forward, but her body was held down tightly.

Wei Weiran said in a deep voice: "Take her away!"

The eunuchs immediately responded: "Yes!"

They used all their strength to drag Xia He away, but they didn't know where she got the strength from. Two or three people couldn't drag her.

Xia He suddenly looked at the back of the crowd and shouted: "Hua Zhiyao! You will die a horrible death! You said you would protect me..."

Seeing that Xia He was about to say something that would shake the emperor and the harem, Wei Weiran directly covered her mouth with his hand.

"How dare you gossip in front of the emperor? Drag her away!"

The eunuchs listened to Wei Weiran's words and dragged Xia He out, leaving long marks on the ground.

Ying'an on the side looked in the direction of Hua Zhiyao.

[The heroine? Why did Xia He mention the heroine in the end? Could it be that she wanted to get rid of Cui Ju, so she let Xia He take the blame? But why did she do this? Aren't the heroine and Xia He partners in the book? How come they have become enemies now?]

Listening to Ying'an's speculation, doubts also arose in Emperor Qingling's heart.

He assigned Hua Zhiyao to Chengqian Palace that day just to see her true face. Could this be her true face?

Cruel palace maids?

But his intuition told him that Hua Zhiyao's ability was far more than that.

Emperor Qingling released Mu Guiren from his arms and said in a deep voice: "The position of Cuiju in your palace is vacant. I will transfer a capable one from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to you one day."

Mu Guiren knelt down and saluted, saying politely: "Your Majesty, I have always loved to play with flowers and plants. How about Your Majesty ask the Concubine Shu for a maid?" As

soon as these words came out, the hearts of Emperor Qingling and Concubine Shu sank.

There was really no other maid in Concubine Shu's palace who loved to play with flowers and plants, except Hua Zhiyao.

But even if he had a guess in his heart, Emperor Qingling was still unwilling to use such thoughts to speculate about Mu Guiren. He said

in a gentle voice: "Who do you want to ask for?" After that, he calmly withdrew his hand holding Mu Guiren and took a half step back.

Mu Guiren had just won a great victory and was getting carried away. He stepped forward and took Shufei's hand and looked in the direction of Hua Zhiyao and said: "Shufei, I want to ask for Hua Zhiyao from you."

Behind the crowd, Hua Zhiyao paused slightly.

She lowered her head to hide the disgust in her eyes.

Xia He just called out her name. Taking her away at this time would only offend the emperor and Shufei.

The emperor had doubts about her, so he arranged her in Shufei's palace instead of taking her into the harem as in his previous life.

Why did the plot change?

Hua Zhiyao stepped forward with a heavy heart.

When they saw her figure appear from behind, the eyes of Emperor Qingling and Concubine Shu both sank.

Just before Xia He died, she was looking in that direction.

So the name she just called out was Hua Zhiyao!

Concubine Shu lowered her eyes, she thought she had heard it wrong.

Seeing that Concubine Shu did not respond, Noble Mu said to Emperor Qingling with a reproachful look: "Your Majesty, I think Sister Shufei is unwilling, so she didn't..."

Before Noble Mu finished speaking, Concubine Shu raised her eyes and said, pulling the corners of her mouth: "My sister spoke in front of the Emperor and the Empress, there is no reason for me not to respond."

Noble Mu was stunned for a moment.

He looked at Concubine Shu and didn't speak for a long time.

And at the moment when she was stunned, Hua Zhiyao had already walked forward and knelt in front of Emperor Qingling.

"I am Hua Zhiyao, a servant. I have met the emperor, the empress, the concubine, and the noble lady Mu."

She looked neither humble nor arrogant, as if Xia He's words just now were just to discredit her.

Ying'an watched coldly and sneered in her heart.

[The heroine is really mentally strong. She has already overturned the car, but she can still be so calm. ]

After complaining, Ying'an suddenly realized that Hua Zhiyao now did not seem to follow the plot in the book.

In the book, she should clearly find ways to get close to the emperor, enter the palace as a concubine, and realize her grand goal as a time-traveling woman.

But now, Hua Zhiyao's actions seem to be just to stay by the side of noble lady Mu.

What went wrong?

Emperor Qingling's eyes were cold and filled with complex and deep light.

When he first met Hua Zhiyao, he felt that she was not as scheming as Ying'an said in her heart, but now it seems that she is not only scheming, but also vicious.

"I will give you a chance to choose. Would you like to stay with Concubine Shu or with Noble Mu?"

Hua Zhiyao raised her head and said firmly: "No matter which master I am with, I will serve with all my responsibilities, be law-abiding, and fulfill my duties. So whether I serve Concubine Shu or Noble Mu, it is the same for me."

Her neither humble nor arrogant appearance seemed to have offended no one, and it was indeed a win-win solution.

But in Ying'an's mind, it changed its meaning.

If Hua Zhiyao was just a time-traveling girl described in the book, she should have tried every means to stay in the mother's palace.

After all, the mother is the leader of the four concubines, and the first in the palace except for the empress. If she wants to gain favor in front of the emperor, the mother's palace is undoubtedly the best choice.

But she refused both.

That can only mean...

she knows the character of Emperor Qingling, who is suspicious and thoughtful. In front of him, retreating to advance and keeping her duty is the way to be safe.

But how can a time-traveling girl know so much!

[Hua Zhiyao! She is reborn! ]

Such speculation made Ying'an's pupils widen a little, staring at Hua Zhiyao's kneeling back.

Not only her, but even Emperor Qingling and Concubine Shu got goose bumps when they heard Ying'an's voice.

Concubine Shu glanced in Ying'an's direction calmly, with some worry in her eyes.

Ying'an has been acting weird recently. Is there something really dirty in Chengqian Palace?

Emperor Qingling did not look at Ying'an, but continued to examine Hua Zhiyao.

Rebirth?

He hadn't figured out what Ying'an said about traveling through time before, and now there is another rebirth?

However, based on what Hua Zhiyao did, only this explanation could explain why she always behaved so shockingly.

First, she was rude in front of him. If she were someone from this dynasty, she would have been scared out of her wits and would not know what day it was. But Hua Zhiyao was different. She was neither humble nor arrogant, and even after he gave the order, she did not make any move.

Moreover, doing such a trick under his nose, if she was an ordinary palace maid, how could she have such means?

Comparing Shufei and Mu Guiren, if the harem was looking for ordinary palace maids and eunuchs, Shufei would definitely be chosen, but Hua Zhiyao said that she didn't want either of them. Such courage and bravery could only be achieved by understanding him.

Emperor Qingling's expression changed again and again, and finally said in a deep voice: "Get up."

Hua Zhiyao nodded and saluted: "Thank you, Your

Majesty." "I have changed my mind. I will neither send you to Shufei's palace nor to Mu Guiren."

Hua Zhiyao raised her head and asked in confusion: "Then Your Majesty, I..."

Why didn't the emperor play by the rules?

In his previous life, shouldn't he have happily assigned Mu Guiren to her?

Since she didn't choose anyone, the emperor must have chosen Mu Guiren for her!

On the surface, Emperor Qingling favors Concubine Shu, but in his heart, Lady Mu is irreplaceable.

So even if Lady Mu committed a terrible mistake in her previous life, he could turn a blind eye. Until the end, she realized that Lady Mu's ability in bed was irreplaceable.

The scumbag is suspicious, short-lived and jealous!

How did he change in this life?

"Wei Weiran, draft an edict, conferring the title of Hua Zhiyuan as Hua Changzai, and granting her the title of Chengqian Palace!"
