Chapter 272: I will allow you to give birth to an imperial heir
Dugu Liancheng didn't take it seriously at first. How could Mu Ci, a boudoir girl who never left the house, know about the escort agency?
But when he heard about Sihai Escort Agency from Mu Ci, he was a little surprised.
The Sihai Escort Agency is indeed famous. It is said that the escorts provided by the Sihai Escort Agency have never failed.
But it's not easy to get along with the Sihai Escort Agency, and the Sihai Escort Agency never deals with the imperial court.
"If the emperor is sincerely looking for a bodyguard from the Sihai Bodyguard Bureau, he can go to the deputy head of the Sihai Bodyguard Bureau. The deputy head of the bodyguard can speak his mind. He likes to drink." After Mu Ci finished speaking, he ignored the ministers who were still bowing, and that was it.
gone.
Everyone who was still bent over looked at each other.
The Queen Mother has left, do they want to get up?
Dugu Liancheng glanced at the people who were bowing, and a smile flashed in his eyes. Speaking of masters who can torment people, Mu Ci is the best.
Pretending that he could not see the suffering of the people, he issued an order to King Ling'an, suspending the distribution of relief grains for a few days until he could reach an agreement with the Sihai Escort Bureau before sending the relief grains to the disaster-stricken areas.
The emperor said nothing, and the ministers who were bent over did not dare to straighten up.
Previously, they spent time in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, just to force the emperor to make a decision. Now they just want to leave the Hall of Supreme Harmony as quickly as possible. Everyone present is old, how can they keep bending down?
However, the emperor seemed unable to see their pain and continued to speak for half an hour.
Not to mention others, Mu Zhi couldn't stand such torture, but he could only endure it.
About a quarter of an hour later, Dugu Liancheng showed great mercy and said, "The whole responsibility for disaster relief will be given to King Ling'an——"
Mu Zhi was stunned: "Your Majesty, no!"
"This is an imperial edict. No one is allowed to disobey it. All dear friends, please step back." Dugu Liancheng raised a cold eyebrow.
The other courtiers were finally able to stand up, eager to leave as soon as possible.
Mu Zhi was unwilling to give in. Originally, he wanted to force the emperor to release the grain as soon as possible. The goal was achieved, but the emperor handed the matter over to King Ling'an, and the escort also targeted it.
"Mr. Mu, is there anything else?" Dugu Liancheng met Mu Zhi's eyes.
Under Dugu Liancheng's gaze, Mu Zhi finally lowered his head: "Your Majesty is wise, I will resign!"
Dugu Liancheng watched Mu Zhi go away.
If the sycophants were really in charge, he still had to find a way to get rid of Mu Zhi.
Perhaps it was because of the purge of the Yun clan that Muzhi became angry and humiliated, so Muzhi became more and more unruly and did not take him as the emperor seriously.
Mu Ci helped him once today, this woman...
After leaving the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Dugu Liancheng abandoned the imperial chariot and walked on the palace road.
His thoughts were all on the Mu family and his daughter.
If you get along with Mu Ci for a long time and give up your prejudice against her, you will find that she is different from Mu Zhi. Although the two fathers and daughters are equally vicious, Mu Ci is obviously more clear-minded about right and wrong than Mu Zhi.
If he really wants to uproot the Mu clan in the future, what about Mu Ci? What should he do?
Furthermore, although Mu Tong was Mu Zhi's son, he was an upright man and a fierce general in the court. He could not attack such a good minister.
"Your Majesty, are you going to Yong'an Palace again?" Li Yu reminded him when he saw that he was going in the wrong direction.
This is not the direction to Yong'an Palace.
I went there in the dark before, so why did my son go there during the day now? Didn't you see Mu Ci just now?
If he had known this, he would not have gone to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to find Mu Ci.
But when he saw Mu Zhi leading the ministers to force the emperor to make a decision, he couldn't bear it, so he asked King Ling'an for help and went to Mu Ci to suppress Mu Zhi.
The effect is there, but it is not good for the emperor to go to Mu Ci in broad daylight.
"Well, let's go see her." Dugu Liancheng said, speeding up and heading towards Yong'an Palace.
Maybe after meeting Mu Ci, he will know what decision to make.
Mu Ci is busy in the small garden. Since the herbs were burned to ashes, she has been planting vegetables here. Yong'an Palace has a small kitchen, and eating the vegetables grown by yourself on weekdays has a unique flavor.
When Dugu Liancheng arrived, he saw Mu Ci's busy back.
To be honest, Mu Ci doesn't look like a lady at all. She can always refresh his understanding of her.
As if feeling his gaze, Mu Ci suddenly turned around: "Is something wrong?"
He went to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. Just now he was worried about government affairs, but now he came over. It didn't look like he wanted to go to bed and chat with her.
"I came here specifically to see you." Dugu Liancheng said, holding Mu Ci's hand.
Seeing the dirt on her hands, a smile flashed in his eyes: "You don't look like the Queen Mother."
Yes, not at all, she is also different from other women in the palace.
Mu Ci was not used to being alone like this. She withdrew her hand and responded quietly: "It doesn't look like the Queen Mother, how can it look like her?"
"A good wife and mother." Dugu Liancheng looked at her with burning eyes.
Mu Ci was wary, was the emperor plotting against her again? She thought she had a tacit understanding with him, and that would be their relationship from now on.
It's impossible for him to suddenly want to deal with her again. She has been very "obedient" recently and has done nothing to irritate him.
"If I need your help with something, I can grant you whatever you want after the task is completed. Are you willing to cooperate with me?!" Dugu Liancheng explained his intention.
When Mu Ci heard this, he immediately cheered up.
Does Dugu Liancheng want to deal with Mu Zhi?
It is said that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, but this man in front of me is not a good person. Cooperating with him is tantamount to seeking death.
Or after she helps him deal with Mu Zhi, the next person he has to deal with will be her.
Isn't this tantamount to giving him a head?
"I don't have the ability to cooperate with you." Mu Ci rejected Dugu Liancheng's proposal without needing to think carefully.
"Don't think about it anymore? I can agree to any conditions for you, as long as you achieve the results I want." Dugu Liancheng continued to throw out the bait.
Mu Ci had a thought in his mind.
Her intuition was that Dugu Liancheng wanted to attack Mu Zhi. But why did he ask her to cooperate? She was clearly Mu Zhi's daughter.
Isn't he afraid that she will turn around, sell him out, and tip off Mu Zhi?
In order to protect her brother and mother, she can do anything, but she cannot conspire with the emperor or the tiger, otherwise she will suffer backlash.
"There is no need to think about it. What qualifications does an ignorant woman like me have to cooperate with the emperor?" Mu Ci's hesitation disappeared in a flash, and he soon made a decision.
A strange color flashed in Dugu Liancheng's eyes, and he suddenly asked: "Do you know what I want you to cooperate with?"
Mu Ci shook his head: "I don't know."
Even if you knew it, you wouldn't be able to tell it.
When Dugu Liancheng heard her answer, he stood up and walked a few steps, then suddenly turned back: "If I allow you to give birth to an heir, are you willing?"
Mu Ci's expression did not change, and he replied calmly: "I know my identity, so I'd better leave it to your concubine to help the royal family."
After she finished speaking, she continued to be busy in the small garden.
