Ji Rou pretended not to understand the deep meaning of Mu Tong's words and replied: "Although the emperor is dissatisfied with the Queen Mother, he still respects her and does not particularly trouble Yong'an Palace on weekdays. The Queen Mother is also well versed in the survival of the harem, so she
Don't worry, Lieutenant."
Mu Tong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Just at this moment, Mu Ci came over. She couldn't wait to discuss something with her brother.
When they got to the garden, Mu Ci pulled Mu Tong to sit down.
"Brother, please retire from the battlefield. Mother has no one to rely on since we divorced. Although I have found many people to serve in Yaju, my mother's heart is still tied. If my brother retires from the battlefield, I will also leave the palace.
, let’s stay with mother together…”
"This is the third time you have asked me to withdraw from the battlefield. Ci'er, what are your intentions?" Mu Tong interrupted Mu Ci.
Although his mind was not flexible, he knew that things were not as simple as Mu Ci said.
"It's too dangerous on the battlefield. Of course I don't want to see my brother get hurt." Mu Ci didn't think now was the time to tell the truth.
"If everyone thinks like you, then who will defend the country?" Mutong asked back.
His words left Mu Ci speechless.
She knew that her brother was upright and she was willing to sacrifice his life as long as he could serve the country.
"Just think of me as selfish. Our family is no longer complete. After suffering for so many years, my mother finally reconciled with Mu Zhi. Now she is helpless. As my only son, shouldn't my brother fulfill his filial piety?"
For the sake of my mother, I can not be the queen mother. Can’t my brother not be the captain for the sake of my mother?" Mu Ci lowered his eyebrows.
She did so much just to protect the people she cared about most and to make up for the regrets of her previous life.
No matter how upright my brother is and how great his achievements are, as an emperor, Dugu Liancheng cannot tolerate him.
She couldn't speak too directly about the truth that her brother didn't understand.
"Personal grudges are not worth mentioning until there is a big right and wrong." After a long while, Mou Tong replied.
Even if he died on the battlefield, he never thought about becoming a deserter. This was impossible.
"Brother, are you really stubborn?" Mu Ci shouted.
"You are trying to make things difficult for me. There is no way I can withdraw from the battlefield!" After Mu Tong finished speaking, he threw up his sleeves and walked away.
Mu Ci was slumped and slumped his shoulders. Although he expected that his brother would not agree, his attitude was so determined.
If he is unwilling to withdraw from the battlefield, when the emperor attacks Mu Zhi in the future, no one in his family will be spared. When his brother is in a high position, it is unknown whether the emperor will express his anger.
People like Dugu Liancheng would probably just get rid of the root cause and get there quickly.
If so, what's the point of everything she did?
If it really doesn't work, I can only ask the emperor to relieve my brother from his post.
She thought about it over and over, but still couldn't make up her mind.
After returning to the palace, she did not go to Yong'an Palace, but to Yanfu Palace.
Although at present, she didn't know whether Muxue's tire sliding had anything to do with the emperor, and she wasn't sure whether the emperor was planning to attack Mu Zhi.
After all, it is her first responsibility to keep her brother away from everything Mu Zhi does.
Mu Ci found Dugu Liancheng in Xinuang Pavilion.
As soon as she appeared, without waiting for the emperor to say anything, she went to the case to polish her ink.
Dugu Liancheng turned to look at her: "What's the matter with you?"
Is the sun coming out in the west today?
It was strange that she took the initiative to come to him, and it was even more amazing that she took the initiative to serve the pen and ink.
"What can I do? I just suddenly thought of you and came in to take a look." Mu Ci lied and did not draft.
Dugu Liancheng snorted softly, not believing Mu Ci's answer.
He would go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing. If this woman took the initiative to come to him, she must have something. He just wanted to see if she was willing to talk about it.
"My brother has returned to Beijing. I heard that you plan to promote my brother to the rank of general." Mu Ci said this matter unintentionally.
"Since ancient times, the harem has not participated in politics. As a woman, what are you doing knowing this?" Dugu Liancheng wanted to focus on political affairs, but found that Mu Ci was by his side, which affected his concentration.
Mu Ci coughed lightly: "I was just curious, so I asked casually. A person like my brother is not suitable to be a general at all. Why don't you let my brother take off his armor and return to his field, so that he can get married and have children as soon as possible. 1
The hard work of killing enemies on the front lines is better left to other capable people."
Dugu Liancheng's eyes fixed upon hearing this.
What kind of weird theory does this woman have? Who said you can't marry and have children if you go to the front line to fight?
"Now that the war is tense, we need brave warriors like Captain Mu Du." Dugu Liancheng silenced Mu Ci with just one sentence.
Although I don’t know what Mu Ci’s intentions were, a loyal and brave man like Mu Tong could never let him leave.
Mu Ci fell silent.
According to the emperor's wishes, my elder brother plays a very important role, so he will not be allowed to retreat from the battlefield, and he may even be made a general.
Hasn't the emperor thought now that when Mu Zhi is pulled down, he will eradicate it?
Or is it that his lineage has broken away from Mu Zhi, making the emperor feel that the three brothers and sisters have nothing to do with Mu Zhi?
If it's the latter, that's best.
However, the emperor was unpredictable, and probably only the emperor knew what he would do on the day when the Dongchuang incident happened.
The safest way, of course, is to let my brother resign.
It's a pity that she is too busy shouldering the burden and no one agrees with her idea.
Just when she was distracted, Dugu Liancheng's voice came into her ears: "Come here."
She was thinking about something and walked to him without thinking too much. The next moment, she was pulled by Dugu Liancheng and sat on his lap.
She didn't expect this to happen. Her expression changed again and again, and she felt extremely uncomfortable.
"You came to Yanfu Palace just to flatter me..." After she refused, Dugu Liancheng kissed her and sealed her.
Before this trip to Yanfu Palace, Mu Ci could not help but work hard again.
She had never thought that Dugu Liancheng would be so frivolous and attack her in Xinuang Pavilion under the clear sky and in broad daylight.
Especially when she saw Shen Manyun standing not far away shortly after she left Xinuang Pavilion.
There was nothing wrong with Shen Manyun's expression, but the contemptuous eyes and condensed expression completely revealed Shen Manyun's thoughts at the moment.
"Regards Jin An, Queen Mother." Shen Manyun said her greetings without smiling.
Mu Ci came to flirt with the Lord in broad daylight, which was really shameless to the extreme. The emperor was so fascinated by this woman that he lost his mind and favored Mu Ci in broad daylight.
Why does she know?
Just because when she went to Xinuang Pavilion to meet the driver, she was blocked by Li Yu.
Li Yu said that the emperor was meeting a guest. At first she thought she was meeting a minister of the imperial court, but later she met Mu Ci's palace servant Ji Rou, and then she learned that the guest the emperor was seeing was none other than Mu Ci.
Although there seemed to be nothing wrong with Mu Ci on the surface, even her clothes were neatly dressed, the look on her face revealed that she had been expressing gratitude.
