Chapter 1003 : Mingren don't speak secretly, this palace wants to raise the eldest prince!
"I only believe in the results I see." Mu Ci said coldly: "Come here, drag Zhu Cai down..."
"Queen, wait!" An Rong suddenly interrupted.
Mu Ci turned to look at An Rong: "What does Concubine An want to say?!"
An Rong frowned and said: "Queen, you can't kill Zhu Cairen without asking questions. You don't have any actual evidence in your hand to prove that Zhu Cairen committed regicide. As the Lord of the Sixth Palace, how can you be so reckless?
Determining the fate of a concubine in the harem?"
It's not that she likes Zhu Ran very much, but that Mu Ci's enemies are her friends.
She felt that if she sold Zhu Ran a favor now, Zhu Ran would probably be used by her in the future.
She will definitely not miss such a good thing.
Seeing this, Yuzhi also agreed with An Rong.
Other concubines who had trouble dealing with Mu Ci, such as Guo Cairen and Zheng Jieyu, also interceded for Zhu Ran.
Their thoughts were the same as An Rong's. I wish Ran could be useful if he stayed, and it might come in handy to deal with Mu Ci in the future.
Mu Ci watched them help Zhu Ran speak, and hesitated a little. She turned to Concubine He Xian and asked, "Concubine Xian also thinks that I handled this matter too hastily?"
She also suddenly wondered whether Zhu Ran could be Concubine He Xian's wife.
If so, I hope Ran can come in handy in the future.
Of course, she was not anxious to kill Zhu Ran, but wanted to test Zhu Ran's adaptability and who the master behind Zhu Ran might be.
Concubine He Xian glanced at Zhu Ran and replied quietly: "If the Empress does not have evidence to prove that Zhu Cairen is guilty of regicide, it is not easy to convict Zhu Cairen of the crime. The Empress does not care about other considerations.
You should think about your reputation."
Mu Ci pretended to think for a while, "There is some truth to what Concubine Xian said. However, death penalty can be avoided, but living crime is difficult to punish. Since the emperor did have health problems while Zhu Cairen was serving him, no matter whether there is any evidence or not, Zhu Cairen will have a hard time
Refuse the blame. Drag Zhucai down and give him thirty punishments! Remember, don’t beat him to death!"
As soon as Mu Ci finished speaking, someone came in and dragged Zhu Cairen down.
Zhu Ran was a tough person. She was in severe pain but did not cry out. In the end, she fainted and was carried back to the West Wing Hall of Liuli Palace.
When everyone saw Mu Ci returning to the palace, they couldn't wait to establish their authority. They were disdainful but also felt sad at the same time.
He also said that when he went to the Buddhist hall to copy scriptures and recite the Buddha's name, Mu Ci not only did not become kinder, but became even more vicious than before. Such a woman is terrible.
Others left Yong'an Palace one after another. An Rong deliberately stopped Concubine He Xian, "Concubine Xian, please wait a moment. I have something to discuss with you. You also need to talk to the Queen about this matter."
"What's the matter?" Concubine Xian asked coldly.
When An Rong saw that the other irrelevant people had almost left, she brought up the business: "Since the queen is back, it is the queen's responsibility to take care of the affairs of the harem. If you don't tell secrets, I want to raise the eldest prince!"
As soon as An Rong said this, Mu Ci and Concubine He Xian both laughed and laughed.
Mu Ci had known that An Rong had such a plan, but hearing An Rong say it now, he still found it unbelievable.
She thought An Rong would find a way to get the eldest prince by herself, but she never expected that An Rong would ask for it directly.
Concubine He Xian naturally did not expect that An Rong would make such a request.
In terms of shamelessness, there is no one as shameless as An Rong in the entire harem.
"Nian'er was raised by Concubine Xian. Concubine Xian has always taken care of Nian'er. Why should Concubine Xian give Nian'er to you to raise?" Mu Ci said quietly after the initial shock.
Concubine He Xian echoed Mu Ci's words and said, "Exactly, why should I give Nian'er to you to raise?"
Where did An Rong have the face to make such a request? I simply don't know what it means.
"Nian'er was not born by you, and I haven't made any progress following you these years. The most important thing is that I heard that you didn't treat Nian'er well." An Rong said calmly.
Since she dared to make this request, it was because she was confident.
Mu Ci looked sideways when he heard this: "How do you say this?"
She knew that Concubine He Xian was not as harmless as she seemed on the surface, but she never thought that Concubine He Xian might do something outrageous to the eldest prince behind his back.
"Don't be so slanderous!" Concubine He Xian said in a deep voice with a bad look on her face.
"You know whether I'm a slanderer or not. I also heard from the palace people that you didn't treat Nian'er well, and you beat and scolded Nian'er whenever possible. Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked the queen to raise Nian'er.
request." An Rong said to Mu Ci again, "When Nian'er was a child, I had a special affinity with him and liked him very much. If I hadn't heard that he was not happy under the care of Concubine He Xian, I would not have been happy either.
would make such a request.”
No matter what happens, she will make Mu Ci and Concubine He Xian turn against each other and make the two strangers from now on.
"I know better than you how Concubine Xian behaves. Naturally, I won't believe such a thing. I only know that you like to make trouble out of nothing. This matter ends here and cannot be discussed again in the future." Mu.
Ci replied coldly.
Hearing this, An Rong sneered: "The queen is biased against me. Who knows that Concubine Xian is the real master of hiding? Who knows why she would be so cruel to a poor child? I'll put it down today."
Here, if you don't listen, you will regret it in the future."
She stood up and said again: "I am still saying what I said, I want to raise Nian'er out of kindness."
After saying that, she walked away.
As soon as An Rong left, Concubine He Xian said to Mu Ci: "I don't know where your concubine heard the false news. I have always regarded Nian'er as my biological child. How could I beat and scold that child?
"
"Okay, can I still trust your character? Concubine An is just worried about the world being in chaos. There is no need to take her words to heart. Just treat her as a mad dog." Mu Ci responded softly.
Concubine He Xian smiled bitterly and said: "I don't know how I got targeted by Concubine An. This matter is very strange. The Empress must also be careful, maybe Concubine An will think of some way to deal with the Empress."
"She only knows a few moves when she comes and goes, so there's nothing to be afraid of. You should be careful yourself, especially to protect Nian'er." Mu Ci said with a straight face.
Concubine He Xian agreed, chatted with Mu Ci for a while, and then left Yong'an Palace.
After returning to Chuxiu Palace, Hu Bo said: "Why did Concubine An suddenly target His Highness? But is there any shady conspiracy?"
"An Guifei has always been a restless person. Now that I suddenly have the idea of Nian'er, there must be something more to come. Remember to pay attention to the movements in the harem, especially the movements in Jingyang Palace. If there is anything strange, remember to report it as soon as possible.
Report to me. I want to see what tricks An can play!" Concubine He Xian's eyes became sharp at this moment.
"Yes, empress." Amber agreed and ordered to go down.
