"The Ai family is not interested in iced food." Mu Ci finally spoke.
She has some knowledge of medicine and knows that it is not good for a woman to eat too much cold food. In addition, because of her special constitution, she should avoid some. Even in normal times, she does not dare to be greedy for cold food.
Sizhu was afraid that Dugu Liancheng would not believe it, so he echoed: "The empress has never liked iced food. Everyone in Yong'an Palace knows this."
Dugu Liancheng calmed down when he saw that the two masters and servants didn't seem to be lying.
When the protagonist appeared on the stage, the scene became quiet. Everyone listened intently to the play, and their eyes were focused on the stage.
Today the troupe sang a piece of "Ambush from Flying Daggers". When the plot reached its climax, an accident suddenly happened.
A black cat ran out of nowhere and rushed towards where Mu Ci was sitting.
Mu Ci was focused on watching the show. He never expected such a change. When he discovered it, his reaction was half a beat too late to react.
Even Dugu Liancheng had no time to react and could only watch the black cat fly towards Mu Ci.
"Empress Dowager, be careful..." At the critical moment, Zhao Ling called out tenderly, and she actually blocked Mu Ci in time.
The black cat just pounced on Zhao Ling.
This scene happened so fast that when everyone took a closer look, they found that Zhao Ling was thrown to the ground by the black cat.
She cried out in pain, and as the pain struck, blood flowed out from under her body, and she quickly lost consciousness...
Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw this incident.
Mu Ci was the first to react and said in a loud voice: "Hurry up and find the imperial doctor!"
The black cat that appeared suddenly jumped over Zhao Ling, passed the crowd, and quickly disappeared.
Dugu Liancheng saw it clearly and ordered his guards to capture the black cat.
Mu Ci had no time to look around and squatted next to Zhao Ling. When she saw a large pool of blood under Zhao Ling, she knew that the fetus in Zhao Ling's belly might not be saved.
The imperial physician quickly arrived at the scene and after diagnosing Zhao Ling's pulse, he reported back to Dugu Liancheng: "Your Majesty, Master Zhao's pregnancy cannot be saved."
Dugu Liancheng looked at Zhao Ling with complicated eyes. He did not expect that Zhao Ling would save Mu Ci at the critical moment and even sacrifice the fetus in her belly.
"Treat Zhao Jieyu well without any mistakes. If there is anything wrong with her, I will only ask you!" He gave a command.
As soon as the imperial doctor heard this, he didn't dare to delay and went to treat him immediately.
Zhao Ling was carried away, leaving a shocking pool of blood on the ground. Everyone present heard the words of the imperial doctor, some were happy and some were sad. What was happy was that Zhao Ling, a stupid woman, actually went to save Mu Ci, and even lost her belly.
The dragon fetus in.
What's worrying is that based on the emperor's tone just now, will he favor Zhao Ling even more in the future?
It will be more difficult to snatch the emperor from Zhao Ling in the future.
Everyone was no longer in the mood to watch the show anymore, and everyone left the Changyin Pavilion one after another, but Mu Ci stood there, thoughtfully.
Because her attention was on the stage before, she didn't notice where the cat jumped out from. How could it be such a coincidence that it attacked her.
The cat's meow sounded like it was frightened and a little frantic. This couldn't be a coincidence.
Even she didn't expect that Zhao Ling would protect her and even sacrifice the dragon heir in her belly.
After Zhao Ling was carried away, Dugu Liancheng was still worried and simply followed him.
Mu Ci looked at Dugu Liancheng's back. At this time, someone was standing next to her. It was An Rong: "Fortunately, your Majesty is fine. I was also frightened just now. Are you okay?"
Mu Ci turned to look at An Rong, wondering if it was the cat that An Rong let loose?
Even if the cat jumped on her, it wouldn't kill her. The worst-case scenario would be to hurt her face and ruin her appearance.
Perhaps, this is also possible.
"No problem." Mu Ci replied calmly.
"Thanks to Sister Zhao for rescuing me just now. What if the cat accidentally hurts the queen's face?" An Rong covered her chest, as if she was worried.
Mu Ci said nothing.
"I hope Sister Zhao will be able to come back in peace. Fortunately, the emperor is considerate of Sister Zhao, and it is not in vain for Sister Zhao to protect the empress." As An Rong spoke, Shen Manyun also came over.
She blamed herself: "It's all my fault. If we hadn't prepared the troupe, such an accident wouldn't have happened. It's a pity that the dragon heir in Sister Zhao's belly is gone."
I wonder if Mu Ci would be offended when he saw Dugu Liancheng worried about Zhao Ling.
Long Live Lord just now made no secret of his concern for Zhao Ling. Although there were many sisters present who were gloating over his misfortune, most of them were jealous of Zhao Ling for being able to win the emperor's heart.
The emperor was originally a cold-blooded person, and he didn't like to walk around the harem on weekdays. It was really rare for him to have such compassion for Zhao Ling.
Zhao Ling was not at a loss this time. Although he lost the dragon heir, he gained some true love from the emperor, and it was not in vain that Zhao Ling protected Mu Ci like this.
"Zhao Jieyu is still young, and there is still a long way to go in the future. There are many opportunities to conceive a dragon heir. You two should hurry up. If you can conceive a son and a half, you will have someone to rely on in the future." Mu Ci said, with a look in his eyes. Youyuan: "The most important thing for a person is to have peace of mind. Only in the harem can you find peace. What I'm most afraid of is that someone is unwilling to be alone and stirs up trouble."
An Rong and Shen Manyun looked at each other, and their faces became solemn: "Your Majesty is right, I can save it."
Mu Ci clearly meant that he was telling them to stay safe and obey the rules. Could it be that Mu Ci suspected that one of them had released the black cat?ยท
Of course, they didn't dare to ask this.
"Everyone, please step aside. Ai Jia will sit here for a while." Mu Ci gave a decree.
An Rong and Shen Manyun bowed and left Changyin Pavilion one after another.
Mu Ci waited for about half a quarter of an hour before Feng Jiu came back to her: "I checked, there is nothing suspicious around here."
"Check carefully at Ai's house to see if there are any unclean things." Mu Ci had already worried about it, which was why she never left.
The origin of this black cat is very suspicious. If there is no accident, there will be something near her that attracts the black cat, which will attract the black cat to prey on her.
For a large-scale event like today, there are already guards guarding it, making it difficult for people to come and go at will, and cats are no exception.
There must be something wrong with the appearance of this cat.
Feng Jiuzai checked it carefully and found no problems.
"No problem found?" Mu Ci was a little surprised.
She was sure that she was attacked by the black cat this time because there was something around her that attracted the black cat, and someone had already laid a trap. She searched over and over, but found nothing.
"Could it be just a coincidence?" Feng Jiu asked.
"It can't be a coincidence." Mu Ci still insisted on her own thoughts. There must be something she had missed.
This incident was clearly a trap. As for Zhao Ling meeting in front of her, it was an accident.
