Empress Fenghua

Chapter 280 The Mystery of the Gold Bracelet
Under the dim light, Hua Qiong's charming face was even more radiant under the candlelight. Now that she is the mother of two children, Hua Qiong has lost her childishness and has various mature charms.

He Xiaomin walked into the room with a breeze of spring night, frowned and looked at Hua Qiong, "Why haven't you slept so late? Didn't I tell you not to wait for me?"

Hua Qiong put down the needle and thread in her hand, "I do some needlework by myself, and when I'm free, I make you a new set of clothes! If you don't come back, I can't sleep well."

He Xiaomin sighed, and sat across from Hua Qiong to take the hot tea offered by Hua Qiong, "You are always so disobedient, and your eyes are broken, are the children asleep?"

Hua Qiong smiled and nodded, "Lin'er and Yun'er are always arguing to see father, but you are often not at home and I can only lie to them that you are busy, as long as they sleep well at night, father will come back earlier!"

"I have wronged you these past few years!" He Xiaomin held Hua Qiong's hand, feeling a little distressed, "When the overall situation is settled, I will definitely take the three of you, mother and son, out for a good time, and we will have a peaceful and stable few days Happy day!"

Hua Qiong smiled slightly, "I know my husband is busy with important affairs outside, but it is inevitable that I am worried. My father and mother asked me, and I can't answer. Now I am the only one left in the family. My parents are old and unemployed. My sister-in-law In the deep palace again..." Hua Qiong looked at He Xiaomin worriedly, "Husband, I am always worried about you!"

He Xiaomin smiled consolingly, "Don't worry, all this will end soon, and in the land of Chengguo, we will have a chance to settle down soon! We will never be slaughtered and looked down upon by others like before. Yes! The children will have a bright future, and you will become the noble lady of the family!"

Hua Qiong shook her head, "My husband knows that I don't care about those things. My sister told me on the day I married my husband that I don't want my husband to be famous, but to make my family happy! If my husband has any unspeakable secrets, you must tell Qiong'er." ! Qiong'er will share the burden with her husband."

He Xiaomin smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, Qiong'er! If you have time in a few days, go to the palace to see Concubine Ningde and Xiao Yu! Tell Elder Sister Xiao Yu what's going on, and tell her not to cause trouble in the palace. Living a peaceful life is the right thing to do!"

Hua Qiong lowered her head in embarrassment, "It's not that Qiong'er didn't persuade my sister, it's just that she is now Empress Shuhua..." Hua Qiong couldn't help being a little embarrassed when thinking of He Xiaoyu's attitude towards her every time she entered the palace.

He Xiaomin touched Hua Qiong's cheek, "I understand your difficulties, but Xiao Yu is my younger sister after all, and you can be regarded as her sister-in-law. She will listen to some words. I also blame the eldest sister for giving her too much attention. Shock, she has indeed changed a lot! It's not your fault."

"Your husband can trust me so much, Qiong'er is very pleased." Hua Qiong smiled slightly, "Does your husband want me to pass on a message to the people in the palace?" Who is she using to contact and pass on the news, but she knows that what He Xiaomin is doing must be very dangerous!

A hint of distress flashed in He Xiaomin's eyes, "Qiong'er, this is the last time! I promise! From now on, there will be no more of these things!"

Hua Qiong nodded obediently, with worry in her eyes...

Early the next morning, Hua Qiong entered the palace on the grounds of visiting Concubine Ning De and He Shuhua. Concubine Ning De was already waiting at the gate of the palace, her expression of worry gathered like thick clouds.Hua Qiong was dressed in palace attire, and her figure was a lot plump, but she was still slim.

"Qiong'er, didn't I tell you to seldom enter the palace these days?" Huayan looked around nervously, "The palace is not peaceful these days, you will be in trouble if you always enter the palace!"

Hua Qiong smiled slightly, "Qioner just wants to visit Elder Sister and He Shuhua, so I won't cause any trouble!"

Huayan frowned, "You don't know that the emperor's temper has been very bad recently, and some news about internal strength has been leaked frequently, and the inner palace has been sealed off. It's good that you can come in! A few days ago, the queen was not confined to Yongning Palace. It spread like wildfire, and almost caused a group of Guanlongmen faction..."

"Sister!" Hua Qiong looked around, "As Concubine Ningde, you shouldn't say these things, let's talk about something else!"

Huayan swallowed impatiently, "Maybe you didn't know that Xia Shuhua a few days ago was actually your third sister!"

Hua Qiong looked at Huayan in surprise, "You mean..."

Huayan nodded, "She is still alive, and Yuanqing is still alive. This is the luckiest thing for our Ning family! By the way, how are Lin'er and Yun'er? Do you miss your aunt?"

Hua Qiong smiled brightly, "If I didn't have this pair of children these few years, I really don't know how I survived! Eldest sister, this time entering the palace, Xiao Min confessed that I must tell my sister to protect myself. Time..." Hua Qiong glanced around, "Someone will send you out of the palace!"

Huayan turned pale with shock, "Qiong'er, don't say such things again in the future! I will never go out of the palace no matter what, no matter what time it is, I will be in this palace. Even if Dongcheng is destroyed!"

"Sister! Why are you like this? The emperor has already treated you..." Hua Qiong looked at Hua Yan puzzled, "Don't think that Qiong'er doesn't know, you still like the emperor in your heart!"

"It's not wrong for Eldest Sister to like him, he is my husband, so I naturally want to stay together forever!" Huayan frowned, "Elder Sister doesn't know what you and He Xiaomin are doing, but no matter what you do, I will I won’t tell others, especially the emperor. The emperor has his own destiny and road to go, whether he succeeds or fails, I will accompany him! He Xiaoyu is no longer the former He Xiaoyu, you better be careful!"

Hua Qiong nodded disappointedly, "I never told her about us! Her child..."

Hua Yan sighed, "In my opinion, He Xiaoyu's fetus may not be safe!"

Whether you can keep it or not, for this eventful and precarious palace, the beginning of a new life may not be a good thing!
Farewell to Huayan, Huaqiong and Fanlian walked on the gravel path in the imperial garden.Hua Qiong suddenly smiled and turned her head to look at Fanlian, "Fanlian, you stay here and watch over me, I'll come whenever I go!"

Fanlian nodded and said with a smile, "Madam always likes this gravel path, every time I enter the palace, I have to come and walk for a while!"

Hua Qiong smiled slightly and turned around to walk deep into the path. The vegetation in early spring was not lush, and there was still a tenderness everywhere.A gorgeous figure appeared on the path, the slender back image is the only color in this pale world.

"Liu Zhaoyi!" Hua Qiong raised the corner of her mouth, "Don't come here without any harm!"

Liu Se turned around slowly and looked at Hua Qiong, with a smile on her face, "Has Mrs. Hua Qiong seen Concubine Ning De?"

Hua Qiong nodded, "I hope Liu Zhaoyi can take care of my sister more in the palace!"

"Madam Hua Qiong, don't worry, this palace and Concubine Ningde have been in the palace for several years, and they can be regarded as friends in need. What's more, I have such a relationship with Madam, I will definitely do my best to protect Concubine Ningde!"

Hua Qiong smiled slightly, and took off a gold bracelet from Hao's wrist, "This is my concubine's wish, please don't dislike Liu Zhaoyi. Before coming here, my husband specifically told me that this bracelet must be handed over to Zhaoyi in the next few days." , so as not to delay Zhaoyi's affairs!"

Liu Se's eyes shifted, she nodded with a smile, "Thank you, Ben Gong! I hope Madam will tell you that the imperial concubine is going to leave soon!"

Hua Qiong frowned puzzled, "The imperial concubine..."

Liu Se nodded, "Madam just tell the truth, he will understand!"

"Liu Zhaoyi take care!" Hua Qiong turned and left.

Liu Se looked at Hua Qiong's back, but saw a figure flashing past not far away, Liu Se frowned, tightly holding the gold bracelet in her hand, feeling a little uneasy in her heart...
