The figure flashed by, and Hua Shu subconsciously wanted to chase after it. After taking a step, she calmed down again.

Concubine Yi is still here, and we must not let her realize that something is wrong.

After thinking about it, her face returned to its previous expression, and she said in a gentle voice, "Sister Yipin, are you interested in going to Xiaoyuexuan for a visit?"

Concubine Yi glanced at the sky and shook her head, "I have something else to do, so I won't bother you anymore."

Hua Shu smiled and exchanged a few polite words with her, then bowed to her until Concubine Yi disappeared from her sight.

She withdrew her gaze and looked in the direction where the figure had just flashed by.

He had never appeared in the palace in his previous life, so why did he appear in the palace in his next life?

Could it be that everything I did after my rebirth changed the original course of events?

The more Hua Shu thought about it, the uglier her face became. If there was anyone she was close to besides A Xuan, it was him.

However, after the prince ascended the throne in her previous life, she had no news of him, so she thought that he must have died at the hands of the prince.

Then why did he appear in the palace in this life?

When Jin Dong saw Hua Shu staring at one direction with an unpleasant look on his face, she hesitated for a moment, but still stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Master, what are you looking at?"

Hua Shu withdrew his thoughts and shook his head, "Nothing, let's go back."

Hearing this, Rendong did not ask any more questions and followed Caiyue back to Xiaoyuexuan.

After they left, a figure appeared in the direction Hua Shu had just looked.

The man looked at Hua Shu's back, with an emotion in his eyes that others could not understand. Until her figure disappeared from his sight, he turned around and disappeared from the spot.

On this side, after Hua Shu returned to Xiaoyuexuan, she called Rendong into the room and took out a medicine bottle and handed it to her.

"Find a way to give this medicine to your master and have him use it on my brother first."

Honeysuckle took the medicine bottle and walked out.

After she left, Hua Shu sat on the chaise longue and rubbed her temples. Since her rebirth, many things seemed to have changed compared to her previous life.

When she thought of the scene with Axuan last night, her eyes turned cold, and she soon thought of what he said.

She got up from the chaise longue and walked to the window. Looking at the scenery outside, her mind quickly recalled what happened in her previous life.

She really wanted to know whether it had been mentioned in her previous life that Hua Huaiyuan was not her father, but after thinking about it for a long time, she still couldn't think of anything relevant.

Finally, she decided to wait until Xuan got better and then ask him, thinking that he might know something.

……

Chonghua Palace.

When Empress Liu heard that the Emperor asked Chu Hengzhi to deal with the ministers under the Crown Prince, her face became frighteningly gloomy.

She didn't expect that the emperor knew that those people were the prince's right-hand men, but still allowed Chu Hengzhi to execute them.

Seeing her unhappy expression, Yipin hesitated but still said, "Your Majesty, I went to test Hua Shu today. She did not show any fear or guilt, but I did see her wearing this hairpin."

Empress Liu looked at the two similar hairpins in front of her. She took out one of them and said with a cold look in her eyes, "Since she doesn't want to admit it, then find a way to make her admit it."

Concubine Yi frowned slightly and asked, "Have you thought of any good plans, Madam?"

Empress Liu put down the hairpin in her hand, called her to her side, and whispered a few words to her.

After hearing this, Concubine Yi's eyes lit up, and she smiled and said, "As expected of the Queen, you either don't do anything, or if you do, you will make sure she never gets a chance to turn things around."

Empress Liu picked up a hairpin and played with it in her hand. She said with a deep look in her eyes, "I originally wanted her to come to the palace to help Cheng'er get rid of some troublesome things, but I didn't expect that she would get out of control. In this case, I can't keep her."

Concubine Yi agreed with her. She always felt that Hua Shu was not as simple as she seemed.

If she were to describe it, she felt that Hua Shu was a poisonous snake hiding in the dark, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any time.

If someone like her cannot be used for your own benefit, it is better to get rid of her as soon as possible to avoid being bitten by her later.

But soon, Yipin thought of something. She looked at Empress Liu and said, "Your Majesty, Hua Shu is the daughter of Prime Minister Hua. If she is killed, will Prime Minister Hua have second thoughts about Your Highness?"

Empress Liu couldn't help but chuckle after hearing her words: "Don't worry, even if Hua Shu died a hundred times, Hua Huaiyuan would never have second thoughts."

After all, even one's own daughter can be abandoned for the sake of interests, not to mention that Hua Shu is not Hua Huaiyuan's daughter.

Concubine Yi didn't understand why she was so sure, but she knew that Hua Huaiyuan really didn't like his daughter, otherwise he wouldn't have sent her into the palace as a chess piece.

Empress Liu suddenly remembered something. She put down the hairpin in her hand and looked at Concubine Yi, saying, "Xueqiong, now Concubine Shu, oh no, now Concubine Shu has lost the emperor's heart and is imprisoned in Yanqing Palace. Hua Shu is the only one favored by the emperor. You have to find a way to win his favor."

There was a strange flash in Yipin's eyes, she lowered her eyelids and said, "Yes, I will find a way to win your favor when I return."

Empress Liu's eyes flashed with relief. She looked at Concubine Yi and said, "Well, it would be even better if you could give birth to a prince for the emperor."

Concubine Yi smiled and did not respond to her. Empress Liu knew what she was thinking and did not continue the topic. Instead, she talked to her about the plan just now.

……

In the evening, Hua Shu had just finished dinner when Xiao Shengzi brought the news.

Emperor Wu Ren met Concubine Yi on the way to Xiaoyuexuan. After talking to her for a few words, he went to Shangyang Palace.

Hua Shu didn't care much about this. After all, she had never thought that the emperor would favor her alone.

At this time, Honeysuckle also came in from outside. She smiled and said, "Master, the moonlight is very beautiful tonight. Do you want to go for a walk in the Imperial Garden?"

Hua Shu raised a faint smile and stood up, saying, "That's exactly what I meant."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Caiyue and said, "Caiyue, you don't have to follow me. Just stay here and don't let anyone in."

When Caiyue heard that she didn't want her to follow, her face looked unhappy. But when she heard her next words, her face looked better.

She stepped forward and said, "Yes."

Hua Shu took Rendong and Xiao Shengzi to the Imperial Garden. On the way, Rendong whispered something to her, and she just nodded lightly after listening.

They soon arrived at the Imperial Garden. Before Hua Shu got close, she saw two people sitting in the garden.

She adjusted her facial expression, smiled and stepped forward to salute, saying, "I pay my respects to Concubine Hui and Concubine Ning."

Concubine Qi Hui was a little surprised to see her coming to the Imperial Garden. After she realized what was happening, she said, "Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After Hua Shu stood up, she looked at Concubine Qi Hui and Concubine Ning with a smile.

Concubine Qi Hui felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by her. She asked, "Why did Concubine Rou come to the Imperial Garden at this time?"

Hua Shu took a step forward, looked at her and said with a smile: "I came here because I heard that the queen was here."

When Concubine Qi Hui heard her say this, she couldn't help but frowned: "Do you have something to tell me?"
