Chapter 158: I beg the emperor to stay away from her
"This is surprising. Without a country, where would a family be? Now that the war is tense, how could my brother withdraw from the battlefield? This is not something a grown man would do!" Mu Tong interrupted Mu Ci with a firm attitude.
Mu Ci still wanted to persuade: "But..."
"It's nothing but, don't mention this matter again in the future." Mu Tong didn't want to discuss this topic, so he stood up and left.
Mu Ci blocked Mu Tong's way with a serious expression: "Brother, have you ever thought that the emperor would not be happy if the Mu family grew stronger? The power of the emperor is about balance. The Mu family has a father who has great power in the court. I am in
The harem is also the queen mother of the current dynasty. If my brother has great achievements and surpasses the master, how will the emperor feel?!"
She no longer tried to hide it, she just wanted to remind her brother that even if he defended the family and the country and was righteous, Dugu Liancheng would still find a way to get rid of him in the future.
Mu Tong had never thought about such a far-reaching question. Mu Ci's words made him stunned for a moment. He soon returned to normal and replied quietly: "The emperor cares about the world, and my sister thinks too much."
He had a close relationship with the emperor, and he understood the emperor's temperament to a certain extent. Although the emperor was ruthless, he would not treat his meritorious ministers lightly.
"Brother is too naive. My sister understands the temper of the current Holy Emperor better than my brother." Mu Ci said in a sad tone.
Otherwise, my brother in his previous life would not have been charged with collaborating with the enemy and treason, and would have died in a prison.
The emperor cares about the world? This is probably the funniest joke she has ever heard.
"I can only say that my sister has a narrow vision, but I can guarantee that the emperor is not the kind of person you say." After saying this, Mu Tong left Weiyang Palace.
After walking out of Weiyang Palace, Mu Ci's words echoed in Mu Tong's ears.
It is his duty to kill the enemy on the battlefield and serve the country. He has been fighting for many years and has never had any dissatisfaction with the emperor, but his sister is prejudiced against the emperor.
When he went to Yanfu Palace, he saw Dugu Liancheng making a pot of hot tea and waiting for him.
"Here you are? Sit down." Dugu Liancheng smiled gently when he saw Mu Tong.
Mu Tong's heart warmed up. At this moment, it was as if the emperor was still the younger brother of the emperor before he ascended the throne, and he was as approachable as before.
"General, I want to ask the Emperor for something!" Mu Tong knelt down in front of Dugu Liancheng.
Dugu Liancheng was stunned and stepped forward to help Mutong up, but Mutong refused to get up.
"Say." Dugu Liancheng said with a straight face.
Mu Tong had already thought of the words on the way here, and it was still difficult to say it at the moment, but Mu Ci was his favorite sister, and there were certain things he had to say clearly.
"No matter what noble status the current Queen Mother has, in the eyes of the general, she is just my favorite sister. Although she is sometimes arrogant, her nature is not bad. But now, whether outside the palace or inside the palace, she is passed down
Cheng is an unruly woman. She is still young and should not have to endure this. I believe that I don’t need to say more about how important honor and integrity are to a woman. I have said so much. I just want to beg, please, the emperor to leave.
She is further away..."
It was only in these two days that he realized that in the eyes of the people of the world, Mu Ci was a womanly person. They all said that she was unwilling to be a widow and was entangled with the emperor.
Mu Ci may have forgotten his old love for the emperor, but how could he be such a person?
If others don't know, how can he still not understand his sister's temperament?
She has always dared to love and hate. Since she chose to marry the late emperor, she would not leave a way out for herself. Even if she still liked the emperor in her heart, she would not be able to renew her relationship with him.
