Nan Ge more or less knew what Bai Zhanke was thinking.

Since they were picking people for Hua Mujin, then of course they had to pick from the lowliest people. Of course, the most important person was still alone, without any worries.

"Investigate carefully, don't make any mistakes."

Bai Zhanke was quite satisfied with the person Nan Ge had recommended.

"Yes sir!"

"Prepare a set of plain clothes. I want to go out for a while."

Suddenly, Bai Zhanke stood up. Nan Ge's mouth slightly opened, his eyes blinking, thinking that he had heard wrongly. But when he saw Bai Zhanke get up, he knew where he was heading to.

After that, he turned around and walked to the side of the cupboard and took out a set of black simple clothes, putting it on for Bai Zhanke.

"No need to follow me, keep watch over your Mental Cultivation Hall. If anyone requests an audience, tell them that we have already fallen asleep."

"Yes sir!"

After saying that, Bai Zhanke walked to the back of the screen, and pressed his hand onto the vase that was placed on the wooden shelf. In a split-second, the originally airtight stone slab shifted to the right, revealing a dark secret passage.

He walked into the secret passageway and the stone wall behind him automatically closed back up.

As Bai Zhanke moved forward, the lamps on the walls of the secret passage were lit up one by one, illuminating his path to the secret passage's exit.

The secret passage led to an imperial garden.

"..."

Harvest Pavilion.

The selection was over and the entire Exquisite Pavilion was now empty. Other than Hua Mujin, who still lived here, there was no one else.

Even the lady who was supposed to take care of her had been ordered away by the Empress Dowager.

Right now, the Harvest Pavilion was no different from a cold palace.

Lying on the bed, Hua Mujin caressed her pitiful butt with her hand. Her face was listless, and her expression was even more unreadable.

"Knock, knock, knock ?"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, allowing Hua Mujin to be alert.

"Who is it?"

"Creak ?"

Without Hua Mujin's permission, the person who knocked on the door pushed it open and entered. And the person who entered, was someone that Hua Mujin did not wish to see.

"What are you doing here? "You can go, I don't want to see you right now!"

Hua Mujin coldly glanced at the man who entered, then turned his head to the side, unwilling to even glance at him.

"This King didn't offend you, so why aren't you fond of This King?"

The person who came was precisely Bai Lingyu who came out from the empress dowager's place.

"Heh ?"

Hearing that, Hua Mujin tilted her head, glared at Bai Lingyu, and laughed coldly, and said.

"Bai Lingyu, don't cry like a cat and try to be merciful. I have such a miserable appearance, who caused such a thing to happen to you? Before I curse you for not getting angry, you'd better disappear. I'm grateful to your eighteen generations of ancestors! "OK?"

Looking at Bai Lingyu, Hua Mujin thought of the empress dowager's face which he really wished she could tear off the skin on her face.

With a helpless smile, Bai Lingyu shook his head, "This king has never gotten involved with matters of the palace, let alone the harem. Queen Mother is punishing you, and This King is also helpless. Calm down your anger and give This King some face, don't put this matter at ease. "

"Punishment?"

Hearing that, Hua Mujin could no longer hold back her anger.

He suddenly jumped up from the bed and sat on the edge of the bed. However, just as she touched the edge of the bed, the burning pain in her butt pulled at every nerve in her body.

"Holy shit, it hurts so bad ?!"

Immediately, Hua Mujin stood up from the bed, breathing in and rubbing her butt.

"Are you alright? Is it really serious? "

Seeing that, Bai Lingyu wanted to rush forward to support Hua Mujin, but he was pushed away by Hua Mujin.

"Pa ?"

"Don't touch me!" Glancing angrily at Bai Lingyu, Hua Mujin walked to the side of the wooden table and endured the pain as she poured herself a cup of water to drink.

Then, he looked at Bai Lingyu and coldly said.

"Let me tell you, Bai Lingyu, I will f * cking be at ease with this matter, not to mention your face, even if Sky Emperor came, this matter would not end well. Do you think Her Majesty is merely punishing me? She wants my life! If I hadn't ordered the King of Hell not to accept it, he would have already been beaten to death! "
