Chapter 327: The rouge button that can bring back the dead
Lan Xin came back again and said with certainty: "That bitch is indeed crazy. Please rest assured."
Lan Xin always puts Muxue at ease when doing things, so she is naturally very satisfied with this answer.
In the blink of an eye, October has arrived, and the weather is getting colder and colder.
This was Mu Ci's second year in the palace. She didn't deliberately take care of her body. She was afraid of getting pregnant because Dugu Liancheng didn't give her the soup to avoid pregnancy. Now she just hopes that she will still have a body that is not easy to conceive.
In private, she went to Dr. Zhang more than once, but Dr. Zhang did not dare to disobey the imperial edict and always refused to give her anti-pregnancy medicine.
In desperation, she could only think of starting at the drug store outside the palace.
Unfortunately, just after she came up with this idea, Dugu Liancheng received the news and summoned her to Yanfu Palace overnight to ask her what she wanted.
Of course Mu Ci couldn't tell the truth. He only said that he was not in good health and was afraid of the cold in winter and wanted to take care of himself.
Naturally, Dugu Liancheng didn't believe her. After all, there was an entire imperial hospital in the palace. Mu Ci did not go to the imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment, but wanted to go outside the palace to find a prescription. This was unusual.
After this battle, Dugu Liancheng kept a closer eye on him, and Mu Ci could only resign himself to his fate.
She once again lamented that Dugu Liancheng had a wide eye and every move she made was under his control. Or it should be said that the movements of the entire harem were under his control.
If he plots against anyone, no one will end well.
Isn't Zheng Cairen the victim of Dugu Liancheng's scheme?
It is unlikely that Dugu Liancheng would really like Zheng Cairen's beauty. Zheng Cairen was only able to sleep on the dragon bed because she lived in Xihua Palace.
Zheng Cairen is pregnant, and he and Muxue stay under the same roof every day. How could Muxue not be overwhelmed by jealousy?
Therefore, Zheng Cai's fate and subsequent imprisonment in the Beigong must have been the result of Dugu Liancheng's calculations.
Zheng Cairen is a small pawn in the emperor's plan to clear Mu Zhi's path. This is about to begin. From now on, the emperor will definitely be ruthless.
"What are you thinking about?" Yingchun asked curiously.
I saw my master frowning and smiling for a while, and I don't know what made the empress feel so complicated.
"The Ai family is just glad that they are outsiders." Mu Ci murmured to himself.
Fortunately, she doesn't have to experience that kind of pain in this life again. Pain once in two lives is enough.
"What kind of outsider is the empress? Just wait and see, none of the three palaces and six courtyards in the harem can be the opponent of the empress. The emperor's heart is with the empress." Yingchun could not hear the hidden meaning of Mu Ci's words.
Although occasionally she felt that the emperor was too romantic, that was the emperor.
It is common for the harem to have three palaces and six courtyards. How can we expect the emperor to favor only the empress? After all, the emperor is looking after the empress, and that's fine.
It's just that because of the special status of the empress, she cannot stand beside the emperor legitimately.
"What nonsense are you talking about, little girl? Where does the emperor have any intention?" Sizhu happened to come in, heard Yingchun's words, and retorted.
"There is nothing wrong with what you said, but the emperor met the empress. Who is our empress? She is the most unique woman in the world..." Yingchun sang a hymn to Mu Ci.
Mu Ci wanted to laugh when he heard this.
Apart from her slightly prettier face, what else is special about her? A person like Dugu Liancheng cannot be an emperor who only loves beauty but not the country.
She stopped talking to Yingchun, and now she was wondering if her brother had heard the news about her mother and Mu Zhi's separation on the battlefield.
If I knew about it, I would probably go back to Beijing.
My brother has just won a great victory. If he wants to return to Beijing, he can explain it to Dugu Liancheng.
If my brother has received news from the capital, he should be arriving in the capital soon, right?
That night, Dugu Liancheng came to Yong'an Palace again. This time he did not rush to pull Mu Ci onto the bed, but took out a brocade box inlaid with gold wire.
Just by looking at the box, you can tell that the things inside are very expensive.
"Let's see if you like it." Dugu Liancheng handed the brocade box to Mu Ci Yingbai's palm.
Mu Ci is not interested in jewelry, but it is a gift from the emperor. If she is not interested, she will have to sell the emperor's face.
When the brocade box was opened, there was a piece of blood jade inside.
Seeing this piece of blood jade, she fixed her eyes and placed it in the palm of her hand. Even under the light, she could still see that there were strands of red in the transparent jade.
She recognized this piece of jade. In her previous life, Dugu Liancheng got it from nowhere. She said it was the only piece of blood jade in the entire Daxia Kingdom. It was very spiritual. It was obtained from the Western Regions and could ward off evil spirits and nourish the body.
One day, Dugu Liancheng came to her in great spirits and put it on her. He even gave her an instruction that if she put it on, she would not be allowed to take it off even if she died.
She agreed at that time.
But after she entered the Cold Palace and became completely cold-hearted, she threw this piece of blood jade in the Chenxiang Palace, and she no longer remembered it until her death.
Now that I suddenly saw this piece of blood jade again, the past memories came to my mind.
In this life, he actually gave her this jade again.
"Last time I heard that you were afraid of the cold. This piece of blood jade has a warming effect when worn. Please wear it well. You cannot take it off without my order." Dugu Liancheng said and hung it around her neck himself.
.
The moment the blood jade touches the skin, not only does it not feel cold, but it feels warm.
"I heard that blood jade is unlucky and you won't live long after wearing it. Are you cursing me to die early?" Mu Ci smiled half-heartedly.
Dugu Liancheng paused while helping her put on the jade pendant: "How can those common objects compare with this piece of jade? With it, it may protect you for a long life."
Mu Ci just smiled and did not argue with Dugu Liancheng on this issue.
She was a queen in the previous life and was of use to him. She could understand that he would give such a rare thing. Even if it was a chess piece, she had to be comforted, otherwise how could the chess piece sacrifice its life for him?
In this life, she is a little confused.
She is now the Queen Mother, and she is a woman he cannot see. She is of no use to him anymore. Even if he wants to appease her, he should give it to Muxue.
Why did he give this thing to her again?
Although she had this doubt, she was not stupid enough to ask.
Dugu Liancheng is an emperor, and his reward is grace. You just accept it without asking why.
Biqiao, who was waiting outside, pricked up her ears to eavesdrop on the conversation inside, her heart gnawed beyond recognition by jealousy.
Can she serve in front of the emperor today, or has Biyu been begging Biyu for a long time, and Biyu lied about being infected with the cold, otherwise it would be her turn to serve here?
Now that she heard that the emperor gave Mu Ci the newly acquired blood jade, how could she not be jealous?
No one else knew the origin of that piece of blood jade, but she was serving in front of the emperor. How could she not know the origin of that piece of blood jade?
This piece of blood jade has a very beautiful name - Rouge Button, which is a thousand-year-old blood jade. This jade is not only good for health, but it is also said to have the legendary effect of bringing the dead back to life.
