It took a while for Dugu Liancheng to come back to his senses.
He turned sideways as if nothing had happened and replied calmly: "Since I have slept, I have not lost anything by looking at you a few more times. On the contrary, I have suffered a loss because I looked at something I shouldn't have looked at."
From the corner of his eye, he saw that Mu Ci was still busy, and then he mocked: "Another attempt to welcome and then refuse. Lieutenant Mu Du asked to see me because he wanted to give you to me?"
Mu Ci was busy getting dressed, and was a little surprised when she heard what he said: "Brother, please see you?"
How can it be?
After her brother went to the prison, he stayed with her all the time. When she was taking a bath, her brother was still standing outside. So, how did the emperor get in?
While she was thinking, Mu Tong hurriedly turned back. When he saw Dugu Liancheng at first sight, he was also surprised: "Why is the emperor here?"
Mu Ci quickly arranged her clothes and carefully checked her whole body to make sure there was nothing wrong before she felt relieved.
"Didn't you ask me to leave the palace and arrange to meet here?" Dugu Liancheng asked back.
He knew Mu Tong's character well, and he didn't seem like someone who would bring him and Mu Ci together, unless Mu Ci was behind it.
"After Wei Chen left the palace, he went to pick up his sister from the prison without making an appointment to meet the emperor." Mu Tong emphasized, "Everything I say is true!"
Dugu Liancheng looked at Mu Ci.
Mu Ci knew from his eyes that he was doubting her. She didn't bother to explain, so she said to Mu Tong: "Brother, let's go back home."
There must be something fishy in this.
"You can't go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion!" Dugu Liancheng lowered his face and shouted.
As the Queen Mother, she should stay in the palace and not stay outside the palace.
"After Ci'er entered the palace, because the late emperor was ill, even Guining was spared. She has not returned to the mansion to visit her relatives since she got married. This time I want Ci'er to go back to the mansion to stay for a few days..."
"Mu Tong, you have to remember one thing. There is a difference between superiority and inferiority. You cannot call the Queen Mother by her maiden name casually." Dugu Liancheng interrupted Mu Tong.
Mu Tong looked at Mu Ci. Although he was not used to it, he still changed his words: "I would like to take my wife back to my house to stay for a few days. I would like to ask for the emperor's permission!"
Dugu Liancheng looked at Mu Ci, then at Mu Tong, and after pondering for a moment he said, "That's it, the Queen Mother will go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion to stay for one night. I will take the Queen Mother back to the palace tomorrow!"
Mu Ci heard something in his words and asked coldly: "What does the emperor want to do?"
Why should he take her back to the palace?
She is the Queen Mother, what does she need from him?
"I'm staying at the Prime Minister's Mansion tonight. Mu Tong, lead the way." Dugu Liancheng ignored Mu Ci and ordered to Mu Tong.
No matter how dull Mu Tong was, he could still see that the atmosphere between his sister and the emperor was strange.
But because the emperor and his subjects were different, he did not dare to ask him face to face.
In this way, Mutong took the two most distinguished figures in the palace and went to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Mu Zhi never expected that Mu Tong would bring the current emperor and the queen mother into the mansion. When he heard the news, he led the whole family to kneel down to welcome them.
After the ceremony, Mu resigned and went to Geng: "Mother..."
Geng cried with joy and touched Mu Ci's face: "My good daughter..."
Mu Zhi coughed twice, and Geng remembered that Mu Ci was now the Queen Mother. She was about to change her mind, but Mu Ci held her hand and said, "Mother, let's go to the room to talk."
She didn't want to bring those false etiquette in the palace into the mansion.
In this family, she is the Miss Mu family.
Mr. Geng did not dare to object, and the mother and daughter left quickly.
When Mu Ci passed by Mu Xue, he glanced at Muxue out of the corner of his eye and saw that Mu Xue's face was red and he was peeking at Dugu Liancheng.
