Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore

He Shi was shocked and completely panicked.

At the critical moment, Hua Manman was quick to wit, pulled Mrs. He to the front, pulled out the dagger hidden in his sleeve, stuck the blade to Mrs. He's neck, and whispered something to Mrs. He at the same time.

"When I say go, you will leave the palace with the dog egg."

He understood her intention in an instant and was very surprised.

She is betting with her own life!

But in the blink of an eye, the group of Habayashi guards had already rushed in front of them.

The palace gate behind them was also closed.

Hua Manman had nowhere to go, but she didn't panic at all, and said coldly.

"If you dare to take a step closer, I will kill Mrs. Uncle!"

The He family is not only Zhong Anbo's first wife, but also the aunt of Concubine Zhen, and the grandmother of the current Crown Prince.

Her identity was unusual, and the Habayashi guards did not dare to risk her life, so they had to stay where they were.

The leader, Habayashi Wei, shouted.

"As long as you release Mrs. Uncle, we will not make things difficult for you."

He said so, but his hands behind his back were gesturing, indicating to other Habayashi guards to attack Hua Manman from other directions.

Hua Manman deliberately put on a soft and hard look, and said domineeringly.

"Since I dare to threaten Mrs. Uncle to take me into the palace, I am ready to die. I will count to three now. If you don't open the palace door and let us go, I will kill Mrs. Uncle immediately!"

Before the other party spoke to dissuade her, she began to count.

"One, two..."

Seeing that a wound had been cut on He's neck, and blood seeped out from the thin wound, all the Habayashi guards were so frightened that their expressions changed, and they did not dare to act rashly again.

The leader, Habayashi Wei, immediately shouted loudly.

"Open the palace gate!"

If they just let the assassin go, it can only be said that they are dereliction of duty.

But if Mrs. Uncle still had to lose her life, they would have completely offended Concubine Zhen and the Crown Prince to death.

Can we still have their good fruits in the future?

The palace gate was opened again.

Hua Manman held He Shi and walked towards the palace gate step by step, followed closely by Li Xun.

At the moment when the three of them were about to walk out of the palace gate, a hidden arrow suddenly shot from a distance!

Hua Manman hurriedly dodges sideways.

Because of her action, He Shi had a chance to escape.

He heard Hua Manman speak in a low voice.

"run!"

The situation was urgent, He had no time to think about it, picked up Li Xun, and ran away.

At the same time, the Habayashi Guards seized the opportunity to rush forward and surrounded Hua Manman.

Hua Manman finally took a look at the direction where He Shi and Li Xun left, and prayed silently in her heart, hoping that they could escape smoothly.

Relying on the advantage of numbers, Habayashi quickly captured Hua Manman.

Hua Manman's dagger was taken away, and the whole person was tied up and escorted to Yufu Palace.

Concubine Zhen heard that Mrs. He and Li Xun had left the palace, she looked very ugly.

Habayashi got down on one knee.

"It's because the subordinates are not doing their job well, please punish the imperial concubine!"

Concubine Zhen said coldly: "You really should be punished, but there are more important things for you to do right now. I want you to leave the palace immediately and send an order to the city defense yamen to strictly investigate those who leave the city. If you can If you bring back the prince regent, even if you make a mistake, I can let you go, but if you don’t bring him back, your punishment will be doubled.”

"Subordinates obey!"

Habayashi Wei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, bowed his head and retreated.

Li Qiong asked while looking at Hua Manman.

"Why did you let Li Xun go? What is your relationship with him?"

Hua Manman raised his head and looked at the little prince in front of him.

When she saw Li Qiong back then, he was just a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes, and now he has grown up so much.

This is really in line with the saying that things are right and people are wrong.

Hua Manman: "I let Li Xun go, of course I want him to go home."

Concubine Zhen said coldly: "This is his home."

Hua Manman: "No, this is not his home."

Concubine Zhen said loudly: "Do you know what the regent's situation is now? If it wasn't for my palace protecting Li Xun, he would have been implicated by the regent long ago. Now he can only stay by my side. safe!"

Hua Manman: "Thank you very much for everything you have done for Li Xun, but for Li Xun, the safest thing is for him to go back to his parents."

No matter how much Concubine Zhen loves Li Xun, she can't treat her own son like a mother who doesn't care about anything in return.

This is human nature.

Concubine Zhen: "Xun'er's mother is already dead."

Hua Manman: "But he still has a father."

Concubine Zhen sneered: "Li Ji can't protect himself now, how can he protect Xun'er?!"

Hua Manman: "You underestimate Li Ji too much, he is not as weak as you think."

Concubine Zhen looked at her steadily.

"Judging from your tone, you seem to be very familiar with Li Ji, who are you?"

Hua Manman didn't answer.

Li Qiong threatened: "Gu advises you to confess, otherwise you will suffer."

Hua Manman is still silent.

Li Qiong's patience gradually ran out.

Just when he was about to order someone to take Hua Manman down for torture, he suddenly heard Hua Manman speak.

"I want to talk to Concubine Zhen alone."

Li Qiong frowned, and said in a disdainful tone, "You don't have the qualifications!"

Hua Manman: "Don't you guys want to know who I am? I can tell the truth, but I can only tell Concubine Zhen about this."

Li Qiong felt that she was playing tricks and wanted to delay time.

He wanted people to drag Huamanman down directly.

Concubine Zhen said something.

"Can."

Li Qiong couldn't understand: "Mother Concubine, why do you want to be alone with such a lowly person? What if she wants to harm you?"

Concubine Zhen said calmly: "Her hands and feet are tied, how can she be unfavorable to me? Besides, you are guarding outside the door. You can rush in immediately with just one word from me. There is nothing to worry about." of."

Li Qiong still felt wrong.

But he knows the temperament of the concubine mother, as long as it is something she decides, no one can change it.

He had no choice but to retreat reluctantly.

Concubine Zhen watched Hua Manman condescendingly and said calmly.

"It's just you and me now, so you can tell the truth now, right?"

Hua Manman raised his head and asked questions instead of answering.

"Back then, I took a huge risk to steal the jade seal to help you push Li Qiong to the position of crown prince. Both you and the crown prince owed me a favor. Can I ask you for this favor now?"

Concubine Zhen was stunned in place, unable to react for a while.

After a long time, she struggled to recall her thoughts and opened her mouth in disbelief.

"who are you?"

Hua Manman smiled: "You don't even know your second sister?"

Concubine Zhen subconsciously retorted.

"Second sister is already dead."

Hua Manman: "Actually, I didn't die, I changed my identity and appearance, and came back again."
