What she said before was just to lower Concubine He Xian's vigilance. The person in Mei Ge was the one she wanted to talk about, otherwise Mu Ci would not have sent her to test Concubine He Xian.
This time I tried it, and it turned out to be an article.
Concubine He Xian must have wanted to make a fuss about Dugu Lianyun, so she was so nervous about whether Dugu Lianyun would stay or go.
She can now pay homage to Mu Ci.
"Could it be that you heard something wrong?" Concubine He Xian asked after returning to normal.
Shen Manyun shook his head and laughed: "How could I have heard something wrong? Such a thing will be unforgettable as soon as you hear it. Forget it, let's not talk about irrelevant people. I still advise you to be more careful with the queen, so as to save a day. After being betrayed by Mu Ci, he was still helping her count the money."
"You are interested." Concubine He Xian replied absently.
Shen Manyun talked to Concubine He Xian for a while, then stood up and left.
As soon as Shen Manyun left, Concubine He Xian's face darkened: "If Dugu Lianyun really wants to be sent out of the palace, my plans will be shelved."
"Can you trust Concubine Zhen's words?" Amber was skeptical.
Concubine Zhen likes to gossip the most and is so public in her daily life. How can such a person really send people to Yanfu Palace to inquire about news?
"She has never had any friendship with me, and she has a bad relationship with the queen. If she hadn't mentioned this matter accidentally today, I wouldn't have known about it. If the emperor intends to move Dugu Lianyun out of the palace, I must speed up the process. Dugu Lianyun takes action!" Concubine He Xian's face was a little gloomy.
Dugu Lianyun plays an absolute role in her plan. Dugu Lianyun is her code to contain Mu Yao, both of them are indispensable.
"But how to start? If His Highness is in Chuxiu Palace, he can do it at any time, but His Highness is in Yong'an Palace..." Hu Hu's voice faded.
So, do you want His Highness to come back? What if the Queen doesn’t give you back?
"Tomorrow, I will go to Yong'an Palace and bring Nian'er back!" Concubine He Xian was not in a hurry before.
Because she felt that it was the same anytime she took action. Only by slowing down could she achieve great things. Now that the plan had changed, she had to seize the time to do this well.
With the decision made, Concubine He Xian went to Yong'an Palace early the next day to pay her respects to Mu Ci.
"You are interested." Mu Ci spared Concubine He Xian's courtesy and asked her to take a seat.
Yesterday, Shen Manyun sent her a message that the matter had been completed, so she guessed that Concubine He Xian would not be able to help but come to her.
It depends on what Concubine He Xian will do next, so she can prepare in advance.
"Where is Nian'er?" As soon as she took her seat, Concubine He Xian got to the point.
There was no need to go to school today, so she picked the right time.
When Mu Ci saw Concubine He Xian mentioning Dugu Nian, she smiled slightly: "I asked him to go out with Yu'er to play. If they are not in Yong'an Palace, do you have anything to do with Nian'er?"
Concubine He Xian wanted to laugh when she heard Mu Ci's question.
Nian'er is the child she raised. Does Mu Ci really think that when the child arrives at Yong'an Palace, he will become her own?
"I think that Nian'er has lived in Yong'an Palace for some time. I miss him very much and want to take him back." Concubine He Xian stopped doing Tai Chi and went straight to the topic.
Mu Ci frowned: "I am used to Nian'er staying in Yong'an Palace. A few days ago, I told Nian'er to let him stay longer, and the child agreed. I guess I will let Nian'er stay for a few more days. Anyway, it doesn’t make any difference whether you live in Yong’an Palace or Chuxiu Palace, right?”
Hu Huoxin thought that Mu Ci's answer was a matter of course.
The queen clearly wants to steal the eldest prince!
After Mu Ci finished speaking, he showed a warm smile: "Nian'er, the child becomes more and more sensible as he grows up. During the days when I was sick, Nian'er took care of Yu'er most of the time. Yu'er likes Nian'er so much.
This brother, I like this kid just looking at him."
Concubine He Xian did not answer.
She lowered her head to drink tea and thought about how to get the child back.
Dugu thought that she could come in handy if she kept it, otherwise it would be no big deal to give it to Mu Ci. But this time, she would have to have a showdown with Mu Ci.
She didn't want Mu Ci to be even remotely suspicious of her, just because Mu Ci was too shrewd, and as long as there were any clues, Mu Ci would see something was wrong, which was why she was hesitant.
"Are you worried?" Mu Ci talked to Dugu Nian for a while, then noticed that Concubine He Xian was distracted and asked with concern.
"Nian'er has been with me for many years. I haven't seen that child for a long time. I miss him very much..." After hesitation, Concubine He Xian finally spoke.
Mu Ci laughed when he heard this: "Can't you just come and see him when you miss him? Chuxiu Palace is not far from Yong'an Palace. Don't worry, Nian'er is also a filial child and will not forget you."
"That's what the Queen said." Concubine He Xian lowered her head, a flash of anger flashed in her eyes, but it quickly disappeared without a trace.
Afterwards, she made insinuations and mentioned missing her son from time to time, but Mu Ci always taught her to be speechless.
When she walked out of Yong'an Palace, the result was predictable. Not only did she fail to leave Dugu Nian, but she was scolded by Mu Ci. Mu Ci just asked her to go out of Chuxiu Palace more often and not stay in Chuxiu Palace all day.
Show off your palace to avoid wandering thoughts.
Amber said worriedly: "The Queen seems to want to keep His Highness on purpose. Is it true that as Concubine Zhen said, the Queen does not want to return His Highness to the Empress?"
"I also suspect that this is the case." Of course Concubine He Xian's face cannot be pretty.
But this was different from the Mu Ci she knew.
Mu Ci didn't look like a very greedy person, but this time, he wanted to leave Dugu and didn't want to give it back, and made many excuses.
"Then I have to think of a way, if it doesn't work, I'll go to the emperor to seek justice." Amber said coldly.
A sneer appeared on Concubine He Xian's lips: "Do you think the emperor will protect the queen or the palace? Does the emperor look like a fair and just person?"
If it was useful to go to Dugu Liancheng, she might have already gone to Dugu Liancheng to put pressure on Mu Ci.
"Then what should we do? It's better to do nothing! Don't forget, Madam, we don't have much time. We must get His Highness back as soon as possible before we can proceed to the next step." Amber said anxiously.
"Okay, I have a sense of propriety!" Concubine He Xian's face darkened.
What's the use of talking about this? She can't file a petition, and her position is not as good as Mu Ci's. She is not Mu Ci's opponent.
Hu Bo was angry when she saw Concubine He Xian, and couldn't say anything else.
When she returned to Chuxiu Palace, she came up with a way, which was to bribe the imperial doctor, saying that she would get sick only if she went crazy remembering her son.
Hu Bo also thinks that this method can be tried, and Mu Ci will not be unable to return Dugu Nian by then.
Just like that, Concubine He Xian began to take action.
After Mu Ci received the news that Concubine He Xian was "ill" in Yong'an Palace, he was not surprised at all.
Concubine He Xian is so anxious to recall Nian'er because she just wants to use Nian'er to contain Dugu Lianyun. It's a pity that Dugu Lianyun doesn't have much father-son affection for Nian'er, otherwise he wouldn't have turned a blind eye to Nian'er all these years.
