Chapter 239: Embark on the Road to Compete for Favor
It's April now, and the soul-eating grass is in bloom. The color is extremely bright, like a poppy stained with blood. It's beautiful, but it looks a bit oozing.
In the past few days, Mu Ci no longer went to Yanfu Palace. Instead, he spent all day in the small garden, tinkering with herbs.
As for the flowers of the Soul-Eating Grass, she dried them in the sun and ground them carefully...
Sizhu couldn't guess what her master was thinking. Previously, the empress had been waiting outside Yanfu Palace for a day and a night, but now she was no longer in a hurry. Aren't the empress afraid that something might happen to her?
If the emperor condemns his wife to death, how can he do it?
What's the point of staying with these strange herbs all day long?
Not to mention that Sizhu couldn't figure out Mu Ci's thoughts, and the other girls who were waiting closely didn't know what Mu Ci had planned.
Of course, no one dared to ask about this.
Three days later.
Mu Ci got up early, and Si Zhu brought plain clothes as usual. Because the late emperor passed away not long ago, Mu Ci was determined to maintain filial piety for the late emperor, and kept everything simple, whether it was expenses, food or clothing.
As time went by, this became a routine.
But this time was different. When Mu Ci saw the plain clothes and jewelry she had brought, he said quietly: "Throw away these unlucky clothes from now on."
Sizhu was stunned for a moment and froze on the spot.
It was time to welcome the Spring Festival, and I happily brought some bright-colored palace clothes and jewelry with various styles.
Mu Ci put on an aqua blue embroidered chest-length skirt, and her hair style was no longer as simple as before. She asked the palace maid to comb her hair into a bun, and finally put on a golden step rocker inlaid with jade butterflies and love flowers.
After finishing dressing up, Mu Ci looked at herself in the mirror for a long time, and then carefully applied her homemade bright red lipstick.
She was naturally beautiful. Although she did not wear heavy makeup, she deliberately applied lipstick, which made her lips moist, sexy, and amazingly gorgeous.
The servants who serve in the Yong'an Palace all know that the Queen Mother is extremely graceful and beautiful. Even if she doesn't dress up on weekdays, she is still unique in the harem.
Mu Ci showed up in a rare make-up today, and everyone was so stunned by Mu Ci that they were speechless.
I can't say what's wrong, but I feel that Mu Ci should have been so graceful, luxurious, and unparalleled in beauty.
His master was so abnormal, no matter how stupid he was, Sizhu noticed something.
Seeing that Mu Ci was about to leave Yong'an Palace, Sizhu's heart trembled and she knelt down in front of her master: "Your Majesty, there is no turning back arrow when you draw your bow, please think twice!"
Once you take this step, there is no turning back.
Maybe there is another way to save Madam.
Yes, find someone from Muda.
But so far, Mr. Mu has not said anything. He doesn't care about Geng at all, and maybe he wants Geng to be executed...
Yingchun was confused. When she saw Sizhu kneeling, she knelt down in a hurry, but she had no idea why the empress dressed up so luxuriously, as if she was going to compete with other concubines for favor.
Thinking of this, she was startled and looked up at her master: "Your Majesty?"
Is that what she thought?
In order to save his wife, the empress plans to sacrifice herself to the emperor?
"Get up." A faint smile appeared on Mu Ci's lips, "The Ai family knows what they are doing."
After her rebirth, her initial goal was simple. When the late emperor passed away, she would become the queen mother. In this way, she could avoid the emperor and protect her family at the same time. In this way, she would kill two birds with one stone.
However, this road didn't work, and her retreat only led to more frame-ups.
