Before entering Beijing, Dugu Yun had heard rumors of an affair between the emperor and the queen mother. Although it was later clarified that the emperor simply hated Mu Ci.
But this time when he saw Mu Ci's true appearance, he realized that the truth may not come from the ground.
This empress dowager was supposed to be the emperor's empress, but she married Dugu Lianyun. Coupled with her outstanding appearance and extraordinary temperament, no man would want to get involved...
"It is rare for the King of Zhou to enter the palace, let alone the spoilers. I will host a banquet for the King of Zhou tonight, and I will have all the beauties I want." Dugu Liancheng wanted to change the topic away from Mu Ci without leaving any trace.
"I have received the emperor's wish. I am a guilty person and it will take ten years to return to the capital. I am grateful to the emperor for not abandoning me." Dugu Yun's attitude was humble.
"The King of Zhou is serious. You have worked hard over the years and have achieved great results, so you should be treated well." Dugu Liancheng still had a happy face.
The two uncles and nephews came and went, looking peaceful.
There was no room for anyone else to interrupt.
Mu Xue, who planned this game, felt a little depressed when she saw that Mu Ci's hookup with the King of Zhou was revealed like this.
She finally caught such an opportunity, but the emperor turned a blind eye. Was it because he didn't care about Mu Ci?
If this is the case, then it would be great. This battle finally found out the emperor's intention towards Mu Ci.
Surrounded by everyone, the emperor and the king of Zhou left Xihua River together.
When the riverside returned to calm, Shen Manyun, who had hidden himself well, appeared and looked thoughtfully at the direction the emperor left.
On the surface, it seems that Muxue set up this game. But no one knows that she played a role in it.
It was not a coincidence that the Emperor Hui suddenly appeared by the Xihua River, but she happened to be at the Xihua Lake and saw Mu Xue's plan. Interestingly, Li Yu was also nearby, so she secretly ordered someone to convey Mu Xue's message to Li Yu.
The news at the bank of Xihua Lake attracted the emperor.
Everything went smoothly and the plan was successful.
The emperor just happened to see the scene where King Zhou and Mu Ci were fighting. No matter what the extent of the affair between the emperor and Mu Ci, it could plant the seeds of doubt in the emperor's heart and make the emperor believe that Mu Ci was not a woman.
No matter who stands in her way, she will ruthlessly eliminate the opponent. Even if Mu Ci is the Queen Mother, she will be no exception.
The next day, Dugu Liancheng began to arrange Dugu Yun's marriage.
As the empress dowager, Mu Ci was in charge of the harem, so she should have worked hard for Dugu Yun's marriage. But the emperor said that the empress dowager did not need to intervene in the marriage of King Zhou, and Yun Xi and Hua Chang would complete it together.
Mu Ci was happy to be free, and the first meeting with King Zhou left a deep impression on her, so she also felt that it would be better to avoid it.
Although many dignitaries did not want to marry their daughters into the Zhou palace, they could not disobey the sacred order. The emperor issued an edict, and there were Concubines Virtue and Concubine Xian in charge of the overall situation. There were still many noble ladies entering the palace to participate in the so-called gatherings.
To be precise, it was King Zhou's concubine selection meeting.
All the noble ladies gathered in the imperial garden. Although they were all handsome, they were all dressed in a low-key manner. They all thought of the same thing. Marrying into the palace of the King of Zhou would be a dead end, and none of them wanted to be favored by the King of Zhou.
King Zhou was also a venomous person. When he saw the female relatives in the imperial garden, he bluntly said that he was disgusted by the sight of them.
Due to the noble status of King Zhou, the women did not dare to express their complaints even if they had them. Everyone did not want to be favored by King Zhou, and King Zhou was not interested in these vulgar fans.
