"What if...it can't be done?" Dugu Lianqi asked weakly.
Dugu Liancheng's eyes became even colder, and he broke out in a cold sweat for a moment.
"My brother will definitely handle the matters ordered by the emperor and live up to the emperor's instructions." Dugu Lianqi did not dare to stay any longer and quickly left Yanfu Palace.
I don't know who was shortsighted enough to offend the emperor's brother and give him such a hard job.
He is not the Yue Lao who pulls the strings. His marriage has not yet been settled, yet he still has to worry about the king of Zhou.
Before leaving Yanfu Palace, the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
The emperor's brother has never been an enthusiastic matchmaker. Ordinarily, the emperor's brother should not be so enthusiastic about the marriage of King Zhou. Why would he be sent to do this job?
Thinking of the gossip he had heard before, he casually stopped a palace maid who was about to enter Yanfu Palace, and asked like a prince: "Are the rumors about the Queen Mother and King Zhou true?"
Coincidentally, this palace maid was Mu Yu who was serving in Yanfu Palace.
Mu Yu knew that the person in front of her was King Ling'an. She raised her eyes slightly and glanced at King Ling'an. She felt that this prince was good-looking and had a good temperament. Although he was not as generous as the emperor, he was still unforgettable.
Dugu Lianqi saw Mu Yu's sneaky voyeuristic expression. He looked at Mu Yu carefully and found that this palace maid was very pretty, but she looked very unfamiliar.
"Are you new here?" Dugu Lianqi lifted Mu Yu's chin. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that this palace maid was good-looking.
Judging from his temperament, he seems to be quite good, not like he was raised by ordinary people.
"My maid, Mu Yu, has only been in the palace for more than a month." Mu Yu said, avoiding Dugu Lianqi's touch without leaving a trace, and then added: "My maid also heard about the incident between the Queen Mother and the King of Zhou. As for whether it is true.
This servant doesn’t know anything about it.”
As she spoke, she prayed to Dugulian for good health, then lowered her head and entered the palace gate.
Dugu Lianqi looked at Mu Yu's back and felt that the surname Mu was special and made people remember it as soon as they heard it. After all, the Queen Mother's surname was Mu, and Chun Zhaorong was also surnamed Mu, so it couldn't be that this Mu Yu also came from the Mu Mansion, right?
He quickly put the incident of meeting Mu Yu behind him, and soon asked another palace official to inquire. The answers he got were based on what he had heard, and whether it was true or not, he did not dare to lie.
This time Dugu Lianqi knew better.
Since everyone has heard it, it’s probably true.
Could it be that he was afraid that King Zhou would have an affair with Mu Ci, so the emperor's brother worked so hard?
Thinking about this possibility, his heart sank.
As an emperor, it doesn't matter whether he is romantic or affectionate, but if the emperor only favors one person, it will be a big problem.
The imperial brother has always been calm and self-possessed, and has no interest in women. Why is he so unique to Mu Ci?
This is not a good sign.
If possible, he really wanted to send Mu Ci out of the palace. King Zhou and Mu Ci were chatting by the Xihua River. Does this mean that King Zhou is interested in Mu Ci?
Does he want to fulfill the King of Zhou's good deeds?
If the king of Zhou brought Mu Ci to the fiefdom, wouldn't this problem be solved?
What Dugu Lian was worried about was how the Queen Mother would remarry?
There has never been such a case in the previous dynasty, and there has never been a young and beautiful little queen mother like Mu Ci. As expected, beauty is the cause of everything.
For a moment, Dugu even prayed and left for Yong'an Palace.
Unexpectedly, when he arrived in front of Yong'an Palace, he saw several guards with swords. Two of them looked familiar to him and he recognized them as people from Yanfu Palace. They were actually assigned to be on duty in Yong'an Palace.
