On the way back to the palace, Dugu Liancheng didn't say a word to Mu Ci.
Mu Ci knew that he was in the wrong and kept his posture as low as possible to avoid making the emperor more unhappy.
By the time we entered the palace gate, it was already Haishi.
In a rare moment of consideration, Mu Ci said softly: "You have to go to court tomorrow, so go back to Yanfu Palace early to rest."
After she finished speaking, she was about to leave under the escort of Sizhu.
Dugu Liancheng looked at Mu Ci's back, "Do you think I would be surprised that you don't return to the palace?"
If she hadn't represented the royal family, he wouldn't have cared if she died outside the palace.
Mu Ci pretended not to hear and simply quickened his pace.
Dugu Liancheng pursed his thin lips tightly, no one dared to ignore him like this, Mu Ci was the only one.
He originally thought that Mu Ci was sensible and had already returned to the palace, but Biqiao suddenly told him today that Mu Ci had not returned to the palace.
He didn't know why he was angry. After hearing the news, he immediately left the palace and took Mu Ci back to the palace.
"It seems that you have forgotten your identity!" Dugu Liancheng ordered coldly: "You will go to bed tonight and follow me back to Yanfu Palace!"
Mu Ci slowed down and looked back at the source of the sound, only to see that the emperor had already got on the chariot and left by himself.
"Empress?" Sizhu's injury has completely healed. Seeing this situation at this moment, the healed wound area is aching again.
"Isn't this great? Isn't that what men are like? There is no freshness when they get it, and the freshness comes back after not touching it for too long." Mu Ci curled her lips sarcastically.
But it’s okay not to offend Dugu Liancheng right now.
As long as she conquers her brother's stubborn rock, she will have her wish fulfilled and will not be afraid of anyone.
In this way, Mu Ci went to Yanfu Palace.
Dugu Liancheng probably hadn't touched her for a long time, so he was very tormented that night.
Not only was she tired, it seemed that Dugu Liancheng was also tired.
So when it was time to go to court the next day, Dugu Liancheng failed to get up on time again. As a result, he missed the morning court again.
Dugu Liancheng was afraid that people would know that he missed the morning court because of Mu Ci, so he ordered Mu Ci to change into a set of eunuch clothes and leave Yanfu Palace accompanied by Li Yu.
Even so, the rumors about Mu Ci staying overnight in Yanfu Palace did not go away.
Everyone is saying that Mu Ci is so charming and charming that he actually leads the diligent and caring Long Live Lord to bad business, and misses the morning court again and again.
This kind of witch who brings disaster to the country and the people should be punished by everyone.
Even Dugu Liancheng, sitting in the court hall, was wondering if he had been poisoned by Mu Ci. Otherwise, why would he have done something stupid like missing the morning court meeting when he met Mu Ci?
Not to mention that Dugu Liancheng was upset, Mu Ci was also upset.
Yingchun kept talking non-stop about the rumors about her outside.
She didn't want to be so public, but it was true that Dugu Liancheng mistakenly went to court early. She didn't think it was her own problem, but that Dugu Liancheng was incompetent as an emperor.
"Your Majesty, please keep a low profile from now on. What others have said is very unpleasant. Your Majesty is clearly not the witch that everyone calls her." Yingchun advised her earnestly.
"You've been talking for half an hour, keeping the same sentence over and over again. Are you tired?" Sizhu said very speechless.
Yingchun asked: "Is there any?"
Jirou and Ningxiang, who were waiting on the side, nodded at the same time.
"Then, I won't say anything anymore and go wait outside." Yingchun was embarrassed by everyone and simply left the inner room.
Not long after, Feng Jiu hurried over and said to Mu Ci: "Mother, there is something wrong with Wu Meiren."
When Mu Ci heard that it was Wu Meiren, he immediately became nervous: "What's going on?"
Mei Wu helped her a lot last time.
Because she did not want Wu Meiren to become a target for others, she tried to have as little contact with Wu Meiren as possible.
It's okay for her to be the Queen Mother, but Wu Meiren is different. Although she has a fourth rank, there are many people with higher status than Wu Meiren.
If someone targets Wu Meiren because of her, it will be detrimental to Wu Meiren. This is her concern and consideration.
"It is said that when I was paying my respects to Concubine De today, I bumped into Concubine De, and she is still kneeling outside Wuyou Palace." Feng Jiu kept his story short.
When Mu Ci heard that it was Wuyou Palace, his face darkened.
She just returned to the palace last night, and after entering the palace, she slept in Yanfu Palace. This was probably noticed by Zhao Ling.
It's just that she deliberately distanced herself from Wu Meiren on weekdays. How come Zhao Ling saw that Wu Meiren was getting close to her, and then made things difficult for Wu Meiren?
Or maybe it's just a coincidence?
"Your Majesty, you need to be careful. I suspect that Concubine De is just testing. If your Majesty goes to Wuyou Palace to rescue Wu Meiren, everyone in the harem will know that the Queen Mother has a relationship with Wu Meiren, which will be detrimental to Wu Meiren." Feng
Jiu reminded.
Mu Ci's beautiful eyes were half-squinted: "Yes, the sudden arrival of the Ai family put Wu Meiren in a disadvantageous situation."
At that time, not only Zhao Ling will target Wu Meiren, but also the concubines in the harem who hate her may take advantage of Wu Meiren.
Therefore, if she did not come forward, it would be the best thing for Wu Meiren.
It's a pity that she owed Wu Meiren's favor, but when Wu Meiren needed her, she was inconvenient to take action.
"Do you know why Wu Meiren bumped into Concubine De?" Mu Ci asked.
"I don't know, I don't know. I can only know the specific situation by asking Wu Mei. No matter what the reason is, Concubine De must be using the topic to make use of it. This is the first time Concubine De has attacked other concubines after she was promoted." Feng Jiu was not in a hurry.
He replied slowly: "My Lady, don't be impatient. Let's take a look at the situation first before making a decision."
Nowadays, the empress is on the cusp of the storm. How many pairs of eyes are staring at the empress. Needless to say, the empress must also know.
"Ever since Concubine De suffered the loss of being mute in Yong'an Palace last time, she has been much quieter. The Ai family also wondered how long she could stay quiet, but she never thought she would start acting like a monster so soon." A sneer appeared on Mu Ci's lips: "
Especially since Concubine De still holds the power of the harem. If she doesn’t get it right, Wu Meiren may fall into Concubine De’s hands.”
"Empress De Fei is not a kind person. She came to the palace just for her. How could she have any chance to deal with her? She was quiet in the past few days, but she was just looking for her weaknesses. Empress De Fei probably thought that
, Wu Meiren is the weakness of the empress..." Feng Jiu's voice faded.
Mu Ci stared into the distance.
The moonlight in autumn is a bit dazzling. Before you know it, the hot summer has passed and autumn has come. It is the time when all things decline. Some people are destined to perish in this season.
She hoped that this person was not her.
Sans Souci Palace.
After Wu Meiren knelt outside Wushou Palace for several hours, it was already dark. It happened that the house was leaking and it rained all night. At night, it suddenly started to drizzle.
Autumn has entered, and the weather is cold, especially at night.
It rained suddenly, and the cold rain hit her face mercilessly, and she was shivering with cold.
