"Didn't I give you everything I had?" Mu Ci was confused for a moment.
She had given him her body and dignity, what else did he want?
Dugu Liancheng looked at her bright red lips and tapped them with his long finger. She had put on lipstick today, which made her face look particularly gorgeous. This woman did not often put on makeup, and only applied lipstick once in a while.
But every time she applied lipstick, it always made him feel amazing.
Dugu Liancheng's hand finally settled on Mu Ci's heart: "You still have one more thing, and that is - your heart."
He is the supreme being in the world and has everything he needs, but there seems to be one thing he still doesn't get, and that is her sincerity.
She is committed to him, but she is not as pleased with him as other women.
Once upon a time, the Mu Ci who liked him disappeared, and when he wanted to find it back, he didn't know where to start.
Mu Ci didn't expect this was what he had in mind.
She covered the back of Dugu Liancheng's hand and said, seemingly true and false: "It seems that after the late emperor passed away, my heart also disappeared. If you want it, I probably have to crawl into the grave and dig it out for you."
Her words may seem childish, but they are actually true.
Her heart was lost in her previous life, in the burned-out Agarwood Palace, and turned into ashes. How could she give it to him?
When Dugu Liancheng heard her mention the late emperor, his pupils narrowed.
Just a moment ago he was thinking that she had no interest in the late emperor, but the next moment she denied his thoughts.
"Really? If I want to set your heart, what should you do?" Dugu Liancheng smiled coldly, lifted her chin, and forced her to look at him.
Mu Ci pretended to think for a while, then said: "I probably have to die once to make it possible."
She is a careless person, how can she be given the heart? Even if her heart is dug out, it will still be dead.
Seeing that she was serious about her reply, Dugu Liancheng finally let her go: "You can go."
Mu Ci got off the bed and dressed neatly. She was afraid that Dugu Liancheng would not believe her, so she explained: "It's not that I'm stingy and don't want to give, but that I really can't give. In fact, there are so many people in the harem who are happy with you, why bother...
"
Under Dugu Liancheng's gaze, she felt that no matter what she said, it was useless: "Then I'll go back first."
After walking a few steps, she looked back and smiled: "If you give me your heart, I might get mine back. Are you willing to exchange your heart for yours?"
Under the orange light, she smiled so beautifully, like a charming daisy slowly blooming.
Mu Ci's heart may have been lost in her previous life, but she can give it a try.
She also wants to be a warm person...
Dugu Biancheng sneered: "How dare you deserve my heart?!"
Mu Ci was not surprised by Dugu Liancheng's answer: "I take back what I just said."
After she finished speaking, she walked away gracefully.
When we returned to Yong'an Palace, it was not yet midnight.
Mu Ci washed his face, washed away the remaining lipstick on his lips, took a shower, rinsed it off, and then went to bed to rest.
The moment she lay on the couch, she remembered the scene when Dugu Lianyun died of illness in Dingshan Temple. Today next year, if there is a chance, she would like to repay the memorial gift she owed this year.
From that day on, Dugu Liancheng never sent any edicts to Mu Ci, nor did he visit Yong'an Palace again.
The wind direction in the harem is like this, one after another. Today it blows east and tomorrow it blows west. The joy, anger, sorrow, and anger of the women in the harem are all tied to the emperor.
The emperor's favor represents everything. If there is a place where no one cares about the emperor, it is a cold palace.
Li Yu would go to Yong'an Palace every now and then to tell Mu Ci who the emperor had favored today and who he had met his new love.
He said more than once: "The emperor is special to the empress. As long as the empress lowers her attitude, the emperor will ignore the past grudges and treat the empress with kindness as usual."
Mu Ci didn't know how to answer Li Yu.
In fact, Dugu Liancheng was tired of her body and wanted her heart. If she could get it, she could probably give it to her, because she knew that in a place like the harem, a sincere heart was the least valuable thing.
But, Li Yu didn't understand the emperor's heart and thought that she could find out what the emperor wanted and give it to him.
In fact, it's just the opposite.
"Excuse me for saying something unpleasant. What kind of beauty does the emperor want? Why do you stick to the empress? If the empress knows how to praise, she won't have what she wants? Now that things have happened, does it mean that the empress only wants to be the late emperor's?
Widow, don’t you want to change your life?” Li Yu sighed softly.
He was also worried about his two masters, but they were both indifferent.
The emperor has the emperor's pride. If Mu Ci does not bow his head, the emperor cannot bow his head.
Seeing that Li Yu talked too much, Sizhu offered him a cup of tea.
Li Yu took it and took a sip: "That's all, I just left, so as not to disturb the Queen's eyes."
After saying that, he sighed and left.
Sizhu looked at Li Yu's back and smiled: "I didn't expect Manager Li to be a little filial to the queen."
The corners of Mu Ci's lips raised: "Although he is rude, he is doing it for the good of the Ai family."
"I think what Mr. Li said is right. In this harem, power is not enough, you must have power. Although the empress has power, she still has to borrow the emperor's power." What Sizhu meant by this is of course that the empress still needs it.
Fight for favor, otherwise all your efforts will be in vain.
"It's not time yet. Now is the time to curb your sharpness and observe other people. With Feng Jiu walking around in the harem, the Ai family has nothing to fear." Mu Ci looked at the bracelet intently.
What she wanted was never the emperor's favor, but as long as the emperor didn't hold her back.
At present, Dugu Liancheng doesn't seem to be giving her any signs of trouble, so she is not in a hurry about this matter.
That night, Muxue was blessed again.
In addition, Mu Tong won the battle, which also gave Mu Xue the opportunity to rise in rank.
"What does the young master's victory in the battle have to do with Chun Zhaoyi?!" When Yingchun got the news, her face turned blue with anger.
The one who really has a relationship with the young master is the Queen Mother, and Mu Xue actually has the nerve to take advantage of the young master.
"The emperor only wanted a suitable excuse to promote Muxue. Do you think the emperor promoted Muxue just because his brother won the battle?" Mu Ci smoothed the wrinkles on his dress.
When Yingchun heard this, she was immediately speechless.
That is to say, the emperor was very satisfied with Mu Xue's service, so he promoted Mu Xue's status.
In other words, even if there is no empress, the emperor will not be lonely. There are so many beauties waiting to serve the emperor in the harem, how can the emperor be empty?
Soon the imperial edict was issued, and Muxue was named Concubine Shu, and she still occupied the headship of Xihua Palace, and was given a gold book and a gold seal.
As a result, Mu Xue became one of the four concubines, and even compared with Zhao Ling, who was unparalleled some time ago.
Many people are unconvinced.
Zhao Ling was promoted to Concubine De because of the painful loss of her bones and blood. In order to compensate Concubine De, the emperor gave her the position of Concubine De as compensation.
