The mistress is reborn, no one who bullies me can escape

Concubine Chun's words made Xue Jinhua fall into deep thought.

Concubine Chun lowered her head slightly and said softly, "As for why I want to go to the Star Picking Platform, to be honest, I am indeed worried about its safety."

At this point, she paused for a moment, as if she was choosing her words, and then continued, "Although there is no longer much affection between the Prime Minister and me, we have known each other for a long time. I really couldn't bear to see him fall into danger, so I went to tell him."

Then, Concubine Chun sighed softly and added with difficulty: "However, no matter how brave I am, I would never dare to have a secret meeting in this cold palace." There was a hint of helplessness in her words.

Xue Jinhua naturally believed what Concubine Chun said.

At this time, Concubine Chun asked again, "Crown Princess, I have told you everything that should and should not be said. Do you have any other important questions?" As she spoke, she looked at Xue Jinhua eagerly, "The Emperor is still waiting for me to go to the Yangxin Palace."

Xue Jinhua shook her head slowly and responded with a smile: "Thank you for being frank, Concubine Chun. I have no other matters to attend to for the time being."

After Concubine Chun bowed and left, Xue Jinhua also left the palace.

However, her thoughts could not calm down for a long time.

All kinds of questions shrouded Xue Jinhua, making her a little confused for a moment.

At this moment, her mind kept revolving around Concubine Chun, so much so that when a wheelchair slowly approached from a distance, she didn't notice it at all.

"I have seen you, Crown Princess."

A low and magnetic voice suddenly came into her ears, instantly breaking her meditation.

Xue Jinhua suddenly came back to her senses and looked in the direction where the voice came from.

She saw a man in black clothes sitting in a wheelchair, slowly coming towards her. Even though he was just sitting there quietly, he couldn't hide his innate noble temperament.

To be honest, compared with the other brothers, the eldest brother in front of him is undoubtedly the real chosen one.

He has an extraordinarily handsome face, and his sharp eyebrows and bright eyes reveal a kind of confidence and majesty that ordinary people can hardly achieve. Under his high nose bridge, his lips are slightly raised, revealing an imperceptible smile that makes people fall in love with him.

However, such an outstanding person had crippled legs, which undoubtedly became the biggest obstacle in his life, and also forced the Xue family to divert more energy to train his other brothers.

"Master Imperial Master."

Xue Jinhua opened her red lips slightly, and her voice rang out softly. She stared at the person in front of her with her beautiful eyes, and said softly: "Prime Minister Xue is no longer in this world. I heard that he will be buried in the next few days."

"Master Imperial Master, as a son of the Xue family, you are not returning home to take care of the funeral, but are still working in the deep palace. Aren't you afraid of chilling the heart of Prime Minister Xue in heaven?"

The breeze blew quietly, gently ruffling the ends of their hair.

The hair fluttered in the wind, as if telling something.

However, although everything seemed calm on the surface, deep in their hearts, an invisible undercurrent was surging.

Grand Master Xue narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression was as cold as ice, and he slowly said: "What is there to worry about when someone is dead?"

"Although Lord Xue is a member of my Xue family, he dared to commit such a heinous crime. The emperor showed leniency and spared his body. This is already a great blessing from heaven."

His tone was calm without a trace of emotion, as if he was talking about someone who had nothing to do with him.

"To the Xue family, he is a disgrace to the family. Although the Xue family said they would collect his body, in fact, he deserved to die for his behavior."

These cold and ruthless words were like a sharp sword, piercing straight into Xue Jinhua's heart.

This situation was exactly the same as when they cruelly abandoned me.

Although Xue Jinhua was mentally prepared for this, when she heard these words from her loved ones with her own ears, she still felt an indescribable feeling of sadness in her heart.

The chill instantly spread throughout her body, making her shiver.

"is it?"

Xue Jinhua paused for a moment, her beautiful eyes looking at the person in front of her with deep meaning, and then continued, "Master Imperial Master is very understanding and would think so. If the Emperor knew of Master Imperial Master's loyalty, I'm afraid he would be very pleased and extremely happy."

The Imperial Master remained calm and said, "I am just helping the Emperor to relieve his worries. This is my duty and I dare not take credit for it."

However, the Imperial Master seemed to have completely failed to understand the irony in Xue Jinhua's words. He acted as if he had not heard anything she said and remained calm.

"The Crown Princess is usually neither in the palace nor in Kyoto, so she should not have much interaction with the concubines in the harem. But why did she come to Concubine Chun today?" While speaking, he observed the other party's reaction subtly.

Facing Boss Xue's scrutinizing gaze, Xue Jinhua recalled what Qingyi had said to her.

"I heard that Concubine Chun was brought back to the palace by Master Jin and the Imperial Master from Mobei..."

"The affairs of the harem are the emperor's own business. I kindly advise the Crown Princess to take care of her own affairs first to avoid implicating those innocent people."

Boss Xue said this with a smile on his face, but that smile did not reach his eyes, and instead made people feel as if they were falling into an ice cellar.

Don't be fooled by his gentle and elegant appearance, but every word that came out of his mouth was like a sharp piece of ice, piercing straight into her heart.

There is no doubt that his words were clearly a stern warning to himself.

Xue Jinhua's mind was as clear as a mirror. If she continued to act on her own will, not only would her life be in danger, but even the prince would be implicated by her.

Look at his eyes again. The dark light reflected in them is so eerie, as if it can take a person's life in an instant.

Xue Jinhua felt her heart suddenly tighten, and thought to herself: Could this be the real ability of my brother? As she thought about it, she couldn't help but lower her eyes, trying to cover up the discomfort and fear deep in her heart.

However, despite this, a chill still uncontrollably surged from the bottom of my heart.

Since the moment she was reborn, she knew that one day, she would have to face this elder brother.

Now, what is coming has finally come.

When she raised her head again and looked him in the eyes firmly, Xue Jinhua did not show any sign of retreat. Instead, she straightened her back and asked righteously, "Master Imperial Master, are you trying to teach me how to behave?"

Even the Imperial Master himself had not expected that she would look him in the eye without fear.

For a moment, I felt a little surprised and sighed that it was really rare.

You have to know that in this huge palace, apart from the emperor, even the honorable empress dowager will be courteous to him when she sees him.

As for her, she was just a small princess consort and she really never took it seriously.

"Master Imperial Master, even if you have the ability to see through the heavens and the earth, what does it matter? In the end, you are just an outsider."

“If we talk about closeness...I am the Crown Princess and the daughter-in-law of the royal family.” As she spoke, the woman raised her head slightly with a proud look on her face.

"If we just talk about relationships, I'm afraid my relationship with the royal family is a step further."

"I don't know since when, the Grand Master no longer stayed at the Star-Picking Terrace to observe celestial phenomena and predict fortune and misfortune. Instead, he became so concerned about royal affairs that he even interfered with the Emperor's family affairs." Xue Jinhua raised her eyebrows and questioned sharply.

Then, she continued to press the issue step by step: "Who on earth failed to fulfill their duties and fulfill their responsibilities?"

"Could it be that the Imperial Master has been in a high position for so long that he has forgotten his sense of propriety and thinks he can control everything?"

After just a few words, the originally disadvantageous situation was instantly reversed, and Xue Jinhua successfully gained the upper hand with her eloquent words and courageous momentum.

The breeze stopped quietly, and the air around seemed to freeze. The silence was so suffocating.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and only the gaze between the two broke the silence.

Boss Xue stared at Xue Jinhua quietly, his eyes like the deep waters of a lake, calm but filled with endless meaning.

Her figure was reflected in his pupils, and the reflected light was like the twinkling stars in the night sky, dazzling and yet with a hint of mystery. This light made him involuntarily tremble in his heart.

"Xue Jinhua?"

He murmured softly, his voice so low that almost only he could hear it, but the confusion and surprise contained in it were so obvious.

However, Xue Jinhua heard it anyway, and met his gaze without flinching, her eyes firm and cold.

She raised her chin slightly, with a mocking smile on her lips: "Master Imperial Master, are you confused? Why are you mentioning a person who has long passed away at this moment?"

Then, she continued, "I have heard that when Madam Zhao passed away, not only did you Xue family not seek justice for her, you even easily gave her body to others."

"Could it be that you have always felt guilty about this matter?" Having said this, Xue Jinhua paused, with a barely perceptible cunning flashing in his eyes.

Then, she spoke again, her tone becoming more and more fierce: "Besides, you always feel that I am quite similar to the dead person, so you mistook me for her? Humph! What a pity! This Crown Princess clearly tells you that I am indeed not the sister you are talking about."

"If the Imperial Master really regrets it, he should go down and apologize to her in person!"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere around them instantly became solemn, as if even the air stopped flowing and solidified in place.

However, simply solidifying seemed not enough, the oppressive atmosphere seemed to burn, making people feel hot and unbearable.

Qingyi looked at the Imperial Master, and saw that his eyes were as cold as broken ice, and contained endless anger and murderous intent, as if they were going to devour people in the next moment.

Qingyi was frightened by this terrifying look and broke out in cold sweats. His body was shaking uncontrollably and he dared not make a sound.

But Xue Jinhua knew very well in her heart that the Imperial Master must have recognized her.

But so what? She is no longer the weak woman who was bullied by others. She is now Wen Jinhua, the crown princess.

Everyone in the Zhao family has acknowledged her identity, and there is no solid evidence to prove her true identity.

Even if this matter is brought to the attention of the Emperor, it would probably be in vain.

Thinking of this, Xue Jinhua calmed down and said, "Master Imperial Master, it is broad daylight now, and the imperial palace is under strict security. If you want to take action here, please think twice before you act."

As soon as he finished speaking, Boss Xue took a deep breath and quickly suppressed all the emotions on his face.

The originally chilling and sharp gaze finally softened.

"What the Crown Princess said is absolutely right. It is indeed my humble servant who has not considered it carefully."

Boss Xue's voice, as calm as water, came slowly, as if without any emotional fluctuations. Even his tone was so steady that people couldn't help but wonder if everything that happened just now was just an illusion of others.

"I am only acting out of good intentions and want to give the Crown Princess a reminder. I have absolutely no other intentions." He bowed slightly to show his respect.

Does this count as a sign of weakness?

However, Xue Jinhua obviously did not intend to let him go so easily.

She sneered and stared at Master Xue with a sharp gaze: "I naturally understand the "good intentions" of the State Master, so I will not argue with him too much."

Then, she changed the subject and her tone became more stern: "But I still want to solemnly remind you, Master Imperial Master, no matter how respected your position in the court is, no matter how great your power is, in the eyes of the royal family..."

"After all, you are just a person of an outsider! To the current emperor, you are nothing more than a minister, or even a slave. So, please remember, Master Imperial Master, don't be so self-righteous and think of yourself as too noble or too precious..."

Xue Jinhua's words were like a pair of extremely sharp knives, stabbing straight into Boss Xue's heart. Every word was heart-wrenching.

However, even though his heart was already in turmoil, his face still maintained a calm and composed look.

He bowed deeply to Xue Jinhua again and said in a deep voice, "Thank you for your teachings, Crown Princess. I will keep it in mind."

Xue Jinhua walked away with a smug smile on her face.

At this time, Boss Xue, who was standing in the same place, narrowed his eyes slightly. The light emanating from his narrow eyes was cold and sharp, like a sharp blade that could cut through iron like mud.

I saw him holding the armrest of the wheelchair tightly with such strength that it was astonishing.

With a crisp "crack" sound, the extremely sturdy armrest instantly turned into countless pieces in his hand and scattered all over the ground.

When the servants who were waiting on the side saw this, they were all frightened and trembled all over. Their faces turned pale and their lips trembled and they couldn't speak for a long time.

After a long while, someone finally plucked up the courage to whisper, "Master Imperial Master..."

However, Boss Xue was not moved at all. He gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Send someone to Nanling immediately, and make sure to find the Crown Princess's handle and flaws for me!"

Anger burned in his heart. Never before in his life had anyone dared to humiliate him like this.

He will make her pay a heavy price!

Thinking of this, he added: "Also, please investigate the situation of the Wen family for me."
