Chapter 137: Entering the Palace to Face the Holy Spirit
Dugu Liancheng returned to normal and acted like an emperor: "I just happened to leave the palace, so I stopped by to see if the Queen Mother was dead."
Dugu Lianqi couldn't help but laugh: "Brother Huang has told you to take good care of the Queen Mother. I dare not disobey the holy will."
"How is the Queen Mother's condition recently?"
Dugu Liancheng thought of Mu Ci standing there in a daze when he entered the Tianlao.
He felt that that was not a state that a normal person would have. Mu Ci at that moment was like a body that had lost its soul.
"It's not bad. Brother Chen sometimes plays chess with her, and she mostly reads books or is in a daze." Dugu Lianqi actually had reservations.
Mu Ci was very focused when reading, even when his mind wandered.
When Mu Ci is distracted, he always gives him an indescribable strange feeling.
"Distracted?" Dugu Liancheng thought of Mu Ci's distracted appearance just now.
"Brother, don't worry. I will take good care of the Queen Mother and won't let anything happen to her." Dugu Lianqi didn't know how to answer, so he simply changed the subject: "Brother, has he made a decision?"
Will Mu Ci be released from the palace?
"Mu Ci is the late emperor's woman, she can only die in the palace!" After Dugu Liancheng finished speaking, he threw up his sleeves and left.
"Brother Imperial——" When Dugu Liancheng chased after him, Dugu Liancheng had already ridden away.
He sighed softly.
The emperor's brother came to visit the prison overnight and came to the conclusion that Mu Ci could only die in the palace?
It was obvious that the emperor's brother had selfish motives and did not want to let Mu Ci leave like this. Maybe the emperor's brother was reluctant to let Mu Ci go.
After all, women are a disaster. It would be fine if it were other women, but why is it Mu Ci?
Before he went to bed that night, he peeked at the cell door.
Mu Ci seemed to have fallen asleep. She didn't seem to care at all whether the emperor brother came or went.
This at least proves one thing, Mu Ci didn't lie and she had no intention of caring about the emperor's brother.
Perhaps, this is a good thing.
In fact, Mu Ci did not fall asleep. She felt that she was not far away from being released from the prison. Even if her father could not save her from the prison, he would still find a way to inform her brother.
It's just that my brother is fighting thousands of miles away. If he knew that she was imprisoned in the sky prison, he would definitely return to Beijing to face the saint.
It is impossible for Dugu Liancheng to ignore a loyal general like his brother. Counting the days, it should not be far before his brother returns to Beijing?
As Mu Ci expected, about half a month later, Mu Tong rushed back to the capital in a hurry.
The first thing he did after returning to Beijing was to go to the palace to meet the saint.
Dugu Liancheng could not help but see Mu Tong.
Mutong was the most powerful general of the Xia Kingdom and an important minister of the imperial court. He was also loyal, courageous and upright. This kind of person was exactly what the imperial court lacked.
The reason why he went to see Mu Ci overnight last time was because he was worried that Mu Tong would go back to Beijing to face the Holy Spirit because of this incident.
Mutong's journey was smooth, and no one dared to block him wherever he passed, until he entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
The first moment Mu Tong saw Dugu Liancheng, he knelt on the ground and said, "I dare you, your Majesty, to let me go out of the prison!"
"Mu Tong, get up quickly!" Dugu Liancheng stepped forward, trying to help Mu Tong up.
But Mu Tong stubbornly knelt on the ground: "Ci'er is the Queen Mother. Even if she has many faults, the emperor has no reason to put her in a prison. If she really makes a big mistake, Wei Chen, who is my brother, is willing to take her place."
She is being punished. I just ask the Emperor to have mercy and let her out of the prison."
Dugu Liancheng looked at Mu Tong who was kneeling on the ground with complicated eyes.
"Your Majesty, just because of the past relationship between the minister and the emperor, can you let Ci'er go?!"
