"Self-selfish?" Xu Guipin opened his eyes wide and looked at her in surprise: "Empress De actually insulted the Empress Dowager in person?"

Hua Chun paused and frowned and said, "I don't mean to insult the Queen Mother, I just want to tell the truth. If the Queen Mother convicts me just based on her personal preferences and wants to be in trouble with me regardless of the emperor's feelings, that is selfish."

"Okay." The Queen Mother nodded and patted the bed strings and said, "The emperor is so fond of you. You dare to talk to the Ai family like this!"

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense, and the palace ladies standing next to him looked straight at Hua Chun. Yue saw her frowning and whispered to comfort her: "Mrs. Queen Mother, don't be too angry, you're still caring for your health."

"She clearly came to piss off the Ai family to death!" The empress dowager glared: "Relying on her belly, she thought the Ai family would not dare to punish her! After all, the Ai family is at a higher position than her! Just because she said this today, the Ai family has a reason to let her kneel outside for an hour!"

"Empress Dowager!" Yuejian was startled: "Empress De still has a body, how can she kneel for so long?"

Hua Chun frowned and thought to herself that she had a bad idea. She put on armor on her stomach today, but she didn't bring a knee pad. Now she didn't have time to let Qingniao get it?

"I don't want to say anything bad about Concubine De." Concubine Xu sat beside the empress dowager's bed and whispered: "But this is not a square one without rules. Concubine De did something wrong today. It can't kneel for an hour, just kneel for half an hour. Give me a lesson and also reflect your tolerance."

After looking at Concubine Xu, the Empress Dowager knew that this person was in trouble with Concubine De, but now her proposal was just right for her, so she might as well go with the flow.

"Concubine Xu made a point." She said: "Concubine De has been too much. If she doesn't have to punish her, she will go out and kneel for half an hour!"

Yuejian frowned and wanted to plead for Concubine De, but seeing the empress dowager's slightly pale face, she couldn't speak, so she could only take Hua Chun out and secretly hand her a cushion.

"Thank you." Hua Chun nodded to her and then knelt down.

Qingniao looked very worried: "Can you kneel for so long?"

"This is easy to deal with." Hua Chun's expression was serious, but his tone was playful: "I will pretend to be dizzy when I feel tired later! I'm not a silly sister, who would really kneel for her for an hour?"

Qingniao nodded. Half an hour later, the emperor should go to court. Although his master was wrong today, the empress dowager didn't take much attention. The emperor should still protect his master.

Just as she knelt down, Concubine Xu came out with an innocent expression on her face. She squatted in front of Hua Chun and said, "Miss De, don't hold a grudge against her concubine. The concubine just knew that the Queen Mother was in a bad health and was not angry, so she followed the Queen Mother's words."

Hua Chun glanced at her and replied with two words: "Haha."

Naturally, Concubine Xu could not understand the essence of modern vocabulary, and thought Hua Chun was eased the atmosphere, so she continued to smile and said, "It's better if the Empress do not blame the concubine. The concubine will help the Empress Dowager continue to take care of the Empress Dowager."

"You just take good care of me." Hua Chun said: "No need to say help me."

I put her hat on the spot. If something goes wrong with the Queen Mother taking care of her, will I have to pile up the charges on her?

Xu Guipin was stunned, looked at her in surprise, turned around and entered the main hall: "Empress Dowager, Empress De seems to have become a different person, and she is completely inferior to her previous low-key and sensible."

"What?" The Queen Mother half opened her eyes, her face full of sickness.

"In the past, Concubine De often came to pay tribute to you and helped the emperor deliver things. Even the concubine thought she was very filial. Who would have thought that Concubine De now would be so disrespectful to you? The concubine just said a few polite words and said that she would help her take good care of you. What would you guess she said?"

"She said she took care of you, it had nothing to do with her!"

The empress dowager was shocked, frowned even more, and looked at the palace servant next to her and asked, "She really said that?"

The palace servant thought about it and it seemed that he was indeed saying so, so he nodded.

His eyes became darker, and the queen mother stared at some place for a long time, then closed her eyes: "What a disaster."

It is right that she likes the royal heirs, and she is willing to help the concubines who gave birth to the prince to the throne, but the premise is that they must be obedient concubines. Concubine like Defei who doesn't take her seriously at all and is hostile to her is useless even if she is pregnant with the royal heirs. Not to mention the lack of any benefit to her, it is still a hidden danger.

"Monthly." The Empress Dowager spoke and whispered: "Go out of the palace to find some old friends, wait for the emperor to come to court, and let him deal with political affairs in Zichen Hall for a while."

"…Yes.” Yue Jian nodded.

Concubine Xu's eyes were slightly brighter, and she felt a secret joy in her palm when she pinched her hand.

The empress dowager was quite famous in the harem at that time. It was only after the emperor ascended the throne that she restrained all her viciousness and looked kind. But there were many rumors in the palace how she ascended the throne. Some said that the most favored Concubine Zhuang died at the hands of the empress dowager, and some said that the late emperor was also sent to the empress dowager.

No matter whether it is true or false, no one dares to underestimate Ning's methods. He had to worry about the royal heir before, but had never done anything to Hua, but now he has finally broken his face.

Then she was waiting to watch the show.

After kneeling for more than ten minutes, Hua Chun felt soreness in her waist and back. She glanced at Qingniao and made a gesture.

Qingniao knew it and shouted in cooperation, reaching out to support her, and Hua Chun lay in her arms with her strength.

"What's wrong?" A palace servant next to him came to see him. Qing Niu said anxiously: "The Empress fainted!"

The palace servant was stunned and hurried into the main hall to report. After a while, he came out and said, "Please help the Empress to the side hall."

Qingniao nodded, picked up Hua Chun, carried his arm on his shoulder and walked towards the side hall.

Lying on the comfortable bed, Hua Chun secretly gave Qingniao a "ok" gesture. Qingniao smiled secretly, reached out to rub her knees, and then heard the palace servants outside say, "Come with me and get the medicine."

Ruier and Qingniao responded and followed them out. Hua Chun breathed a light sigh, moved her waist, and then closed her eyes and lay down to rest. She could faint until the emperor went to court, and it should be safe after that.

Just as I was proud of my wit, I suddenly heard footsteps coming from the door.

It should be the palace servant in the empress dowager's harem to see her situation.

Hua Chun didn't open her eyes, so she tried to calm her breathing.

The footsteps came to her bed, and she paused for a while, then she felt a chill coming to her face.

Something is wrong!

He opened his eyes suddenly, and Hua Chun subconsciously rolled to the side, but the movement did not come quickly. The man slashed his sword at her stomach.

"Come here!" Hua Chun screamed, watching the sword cut down, his face turned pale.

There was no one else in the room, and even if the guards outside heard the shouts, it was too late to run over. The man in black saw that he could do it. Although it felt a little strange, the sword slashed into Concubine De's stomach. Even if the work was completed, he would run away immediately.

"Empress!" Yue saw Aunt running in from outside, and while someone was asking her to chase the assassin, she ran towards Hua Chun, helped her to her body and leaned against her. She looked at the sword on her belly and took a breath.

He was so cruel? His sword body was cut into his stomach!

"Transfer to the Imperial Doctor, hurry up and tell the Imperial Doctor!"

Hua Chun didn't dare to breathe, and looked at her belly blankly. The noise suddenly broke out. Ruier and Qingniao also rushed back, all of them were stunned.

"Where is the person?" Hua Chun asked calmly.

Qing Niu shook her head and looked at the eunuch next to her blankly. The eunuch replied in a daze: "I didn't catch it..."

Even in Huiming Palace, can you meet an assassin, but you still can't catch it? Hua Chun pursed her lips, looked at Yue, reached out to pull the sword from her stomach and threw it to the ground, and then sat upright.

"Empress!" Yue Jian was frightened to death: "Your belly!"

"It's okay." Hua Chun shook her head: "Luckily, I came out with some fun today."

Yuejian didn't understand, or was frightened, and could not react at all.

When Xu Guipin heard the movement, he also came over, with anxiety on his face, but gloating in his eyes, he rushed over and asked, "Isn't it okay?"

"It's okay." Hua Chun answered lightly.

Xu Guipin was stunned. How could this be fine? Didn’t it mean that the sword was cut into the stomach?

"The Imperial Doctor is here!" A shouted outside. Yue Jian came back to his senses and quickly asked the Imperial Doctor to go to the bed to see the wounds of Concubine De, but saw Concubine De raise her hand and said, "It's not hurt. Instead of worrying about this, you might as well grab the person and come more realistically."

Everyone in the room was stunned, and saw Hua Chun untied the palace-dressed robe while talking and took off an oversized dustpan from her belly.

Everyone: "..."

The dustpan was cut off, but fortunately the quality was excellent and there was a layer of cotton cloth inside, which perfectly protected Hua Chun's belly.

Xu Guipin was stupid. After looking at the dustpan for a while, he came to his senses. He opened his mouth and didn't know what to say.

The Empress Dowager was still waiting for news in the main hall, and her face looked like a thousand sails had experienced all the vicissitudes. When she heard the sound of footsteps, she asked, "It's gone?"

Yuejian walked in and shook her head in a complicated expression: "It's still here."

Still there?! The Queen Mother was depressed in an instant and sat up and frowned at her: "What does it mean to be still there? Can her belly be preserved after being injured so seriously? Which imperial doctor has such good medical skills?"

Yuejian pursed her lips and whispered: "Not hurt."

How could she not be hurt! The empress dowager frowned and looked at Yuejian carefully for a while. The latter had no choice but to take out a dustpan: "Empress Defei is not hurt when she is wearing this."

After glaring at the thing for a long time, the queen mother took a breath and lowered her head and murmured: "The Ai family said that she was so cunning, and the emperor didn't believe it, so she would use this kind of thing to put it on her stomach..."

Yuejian was silent. It seemed that it had nothing to do with whether the scheming was deep or not. It was just a vigilant.

It’s also a big thanks to her, otherwise she would not be able to escape this disaster today.

"Empress Dowager, what should I do next? Concubine De means to catch the assassin with all his strength."
