Just when Ji Rou opened her mouth, Sizhu glanced at her: "Your Majesty has already come to this point. As slaves, we can't help. We just ask not to cause any trouble to your Majesty."
What she means is, don't say what you shouldn't say, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, the empress has her own opinions.
In the previous two times, Mu Ci was in the Nuan Pavilion to express his gratitude, but this time he got on the dragon couch in a serious manner.
Dugu Liancheng was sitting on the dragon bed, holding a book of war in his hand. When he saw her coming, he didn't look at her and just opened his arms. This was to let her serve him.
She pretended not to see it and found a place to lie down.
The next moment, the man leaned over and started a new round of clouds and rain.
She didn't know how long it had been, but she was sweating all over in such weather. She pushed Dugu Liancheng away and wanted to stay and go back to Yong'an Palace.
Dugu Liancheng dragged her back: "You can leave at dawn."
Mu Ci didn't say anything, just pushed him away and quickly dressed up.
After a while, Biqiao brought a bowl of dark and thick soup over to her. She drank it all in one gulp and left Yanfu Palace.
Dugu Liancheng looked at her series of actions, his eyes darkened.
He didn't know what he was feeling. At first, he just wanted her to surrender to him and make her willing. Now she is really willing, but he doesn't feel good in his heart.
He liked her body, but her temper was the same as usual, which always displeased him.
He didn't know if it was because he fell in love with her body at the beginning that he came to this point.
When Mu Ci walked out of Yanfu Palace, he felt that it was very late.
"What time is it now?" Mu Ci asked casually.
Sizhu suppressed the depression in her heart and replied softly: "It's almost midnight."
Mu Ci responded softly, looked at the dark clouds covering the moon, and murmured silently: "It seems like it's going to rain."
I'm just not used to it now, but as time goes by, I should get used to sleeping with him.
But there doesn't seem to be much difference even if there is an extra person lying next to me, doing tiring things, drinking an extra bowl of soup and going to bed later than usual.
"Even if it rains, it will be sunny tomorrow." Sizhu did not dare to speak too loudly, for fear of disturbing the queen's thoughts.
Mu Ci smiled and said no more.
Early the next morning, I heard that the poison in the little prince's body had been eliminated and his condition was improving.
Geng was also released.
Mu Ci was clearing away all the herbs in the small garden, and then burned them, and all the herbs disappeared in an instant.
At this time, Mu Ci did not know the news of Geng being released.
She stared at the handful of ashes intently, and suddenly Geng's voice sounded behind her, "Your Majesty..."
After she composed herself, she got up and went to Geng's house to inspect it carefully.
"Don't worry, Madam, I'm fine." Geng knew Mu Ci's worries and took the initiative to help her clear up her doubts.
"Why did mother suddenly meet her daughter? There are no outsiders here, just call her daughter by her first name." Mu Ci made sure that her mother was not injured, and then she let go of her worries.
"This is court etiquette and must be followed. This time, it was my wife who caused trouble for the empress." Mrs. Geng looked at Mu Ci apologetically.
Although her daughter is the Queen Mother, her life in the harem is not easy, and she knows this.
This time, she caused trouble for her daughter and caused trouble, which she had not expected. She was able to be released so quickly and did not suffer any punishment in the Ministry of Punishment. Mu Ci must have contributed a lot.
"Mom, there is no need to say these foreign words. Instead, it is your daughter who has dragged you down and made you suffer this prison sentence in vain. By the way, tell your daughter what happened in the Imperial Garden that day?" Mu Ci pulled Geng to sit down.
Down.
Mentioning what happened that day, Geng also felt suspicious.
On the day she entered the palace, Linglong was supposed to be by her side, but due to Linglong's sudden abdominal pain. Seeing Linglong's hard work, Yujuan finally accompanied her into the palace.
After she entered the palace, she was intercepted by a young eunuch who told her to wait for her in the imperial garden.
She believed it to be true and turned back to the imperial garden.
When she got there, she met Qing Le and the little prince.
According to the rules, she saluted Qing Le.
Among the people present at that time was Muxue.
When he saw her, Muxue specially gave her a cup of tea and asked her to sit down and talk for a while.
She didn't want to cause trouble, so she thought it would be okay to sit for a while and then leave. After that, Muxue left the Imperial Garden, and Qingle chatted with her for a while.
She didn't dare to stay too long and answered the questions one by one. Just when she was about to get up and say goodbye, someone shouted out that there was an assassin, and chaos ensued. Then the little prince suddenly fainted, everyone was in chaos, and the scene became even more chaotic.
.
Later, after an examination, the imperial doctor said she was poisoned, and coincidentally found poison residue on her fingers, so the emperor convicted her...
"Where is the little eunuch?" After hearing what happened, Mu Ci mentioned this most crucial person again.
Geng thought about it carefully and said uncertainly: "It seems that after hearing about the assassin, he ran to catch the assassin?"
She doesn't remember the specifics.
Mu Ci was startled, which meant that the young eunuch had disappeared at the scene.
"Mom, think carefully about what the little eunuch looks like. Maybe we can find the little eunuch and find out the truth." When Mu Ci said this, he did not have high expectations.
Geng shook his head: "The little eunuch keeps his head down most of the time. I don't know what he looks like. I only remember that his skin color is fair."
Mu Ci was helpless, so she asked another key person: "Is Yujuan locked up with her mother?"
The last time she returned to Mu Mansion, she had suspected Yujuan, but there was no evidence.
This time when my mother entered the palace, something like this happened, and it must have something to do with Yujuan.
"I don't know about this either." Geng looked at Mu Ci and stopped talking.
Seeing this, Mu Ci smiled lightly and said, "If you have any questions, please tell me. Mother, I still say the same thing. When there are no outsiders, there is no need for me to pay attention to the rules of the palace. Even if my daughter enters the palace, she will always be my mother's."
daughter."
Therefore, mother can say anything to her.
Geng's eyes heated up, and she held Mu Ci's hand, "This matter started because of me, and I don't want you to be involved in it. Now that I have come out safely, let's end this matter, okay?"
Mu Ci smiled.
My mother is still too naive. After all these years, she thought that if she tolerated and gave in, everything would return to peace.
But will Mu Xue and Lin give up? The answer is no.
What happened this time was most likely the result of the mother and daughter cooperating internally and externally, setting up this trap for the mother to jump into.
Muxue probably still wanted to be the queen. Because of Muxue's status as a concubine, there was an obstacle to ascending to the throne. But if her mother died and Muzhi supported Lin as his stepmother, Muxue's status would also rise.
That's why Lin and Muxue couldn't wait to get rid of their mother.
When she knew that her mother had been arrested, she never expected Mu Zhi to rescue her mother, because she knew that Mu Zhi might have evil intentions to kill her mother.
The poison that poisoned the little prince could not kill him.
If the little prince loses his life because of this, the entire Mu family will be buried with him. Lin and Mu Xue should also know the risks of planning this matter.
Didn't this vicious mother and daughter ever think that if they dared to harm the royal heirs, Dugu Liancheng might have the entire Mu family buried with them in a fit of rage?
Thinking of this, she suddenly felt a little confused. Why would Lin and Muxue take such desperate measures to harm their mother in this way?
From all the superficial evidence, it seems that Muxue planned this conspiracy to harm his mother. But if you dig deeper, the risk of Muxue and Lin doing this is too great.
