Mu Ci just hoped that Dugu Liancheng would shut up quickly.
Everyone here was looking at her and Dugu Liancheng with wonderful expressions. Dugu Liancheng actually got close to her. Wasn't this a deliberate way to embarrass her?
She had to make it clear to Dugu Liancheng when she left Wuyou Palace later.
After that, she pretended not to hear anything Dugu Liancheng said and let him talk and sing.
When the supplementary soup came, everyone had a bowl, and everyone was satisfied. However, Dugu Liancheng forced someone to give Mu Ci two more bowls.
Mu Ci doesn't eat much, how could she drink so much?
Unexpectedly, Dugu Liancheng didn't know if she had taken the wrong medicine, but she was so attentive that she almost didn't come to feed her in person.
In the end, he forced her to drink two bowls of soup before sending Dugu Liancheng away.
When she left Sansou Palace, she and Dugu Liancheng walked side by side, and the others fell behind. She whispered: "In the future, when there are outsiders or there are many people, you should pretend that you are not familiar with me."
Dugu Liancheng was puzzled: "I'm so familiar with you, why do I pretend not to be familiar with you?"
Mu Ci was speechless. She looked at him: "Are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid?"
Dugu Liancheng raised his eyebrows and asked, "I just wanted to ask you if you are stupid?"
There are so many women who want to win his favor, but she is just an ignorant woman who just wants to push him away.
Mu Ci looked back behind him to make sure there were no outsiders, and then whispered: "Don't forget, I am a woman you cannot see. How will other people see you doing this and that in public?"
"What do you mean by this and that? It's just a piece of snowflake cake?" Dugu Liancheng paused: "Why, you are so embarrassed by having an affair with me?"
Mu Ci did not expect that Dugu Liancheng would cross-examine him.
This is not a matter of losing face at all. She and he have a relationship that cannot be seen in the light, and he still wants to make it so that the whole world knows that they are having an affair.
Seeing that Mu Ci did not speak, Dugu Liancheng smiled coldly: "You will always be my woman, and this matter cannot be changed. I think you have a flaw in your mind, so you make so many demands."
How dare she be dissatisfied with his pampering? She has never seen such an ignorant woman.
Dugu Liancheng was so angry that he threw up his sleeves and walked away.
After he returned to Yanfu Palace, the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt.
"Li Yu, why are you so wronged by asking her to be my woman?" The woman he was talking about was, of course, Mu Ci.
Li Yu rolled her eyes and smiled cautiously: "What did the emperor say? It's too late for the empress to be happy. However, due to her special status, the empress is not one of the emperor's harem. It is normal for the empress to have scruples."
Moreover, the emperor himself said that Mu Ci was just a woman who could not see the light of day. Now that the emperor was concerned about this, it was indeed difficult to guess what the emperor was thinking.
"Why isn't she one of my harem? Apart from a formal title, what else can I give her that I haven't given her?" Dugu Liancheng disagreed.
Li Yu laughed bitterly.
Isn't status what women care about? The emperor's thinking is different from ordinary people, and he doesn't know how to answer.
"You don't think so?" Dugu Liancheng's voice grew colder.
Li Yu hurriedly knelt on the ground: "I don't dare! Maybe the Queen Mother is more delicate and cares about what the Emperor cannot give?"
Dugu Liancheng was stunned: "You mean, she wants me to give her a title?"
I've never seen her think like this before, and she doesn't seem to care. Could it be that it's just an act?
However, her identity is the Queen Mother, how can he give her a title?
"I'm not the Queen Mother, so I don't know what the Queen Mother is thinking. But generally speaking, no woman is willing to be with another man without any reputation or status?" Li Yu replied, squeezing her neck.
He was asking for status for Mu Ci. In the future, if Mu Ci really wanted to be the queen, she might still be able to remember him.
Biqiao had been eavesdropping not far away. When she heard this, she became uneasy. She rushed in, knelt in front of the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, you must not do it! The Queen Mother is the widow of the previous dynasty, how can the Emperor beat the Queen Mother?
What is your idea? Where does this put the late emperor?"
Dugu Liancheng frowned when he heard this and asked, "Why not?"
Biqiao didn't expect that the emperor would answer so grandly.
"Of course not. There is no precedent in the previous dynasty. The Emperor must not have any deep entanglement with the Queen Mother." Bi Qiao only added one sentence, it's just a joke, why take it seriously?
Anyway, it was Mu Ci who was humbled and was abandoned by the emperor in the end. It was Mu Ci's own fault and he had no one to blame.
"There is no precedent in the previous dynasty, so I can create this precedent." Dugu Liancheng didn't think this was a problem at all.
He is the emperor and can do whatever he wants.
Biqiao's face turned pale and she couldn't believe what she heard.
After all, has the emperor been so fascinated by Mu Ci that he has lost his mind?
Apart from a face that can be seen, how could Mu Ci be worthy of the emperor's love?
"That's right, the emperor is the lord of the world, and he can have any woman he wants!" Li Yu was secretly happy, feeling that Mu Ci was the most capable and could easily make the emperor make such a difficult decision.
It's just that the emperor's mind is unpredictable. Maybe he wants to make Mu Ci a concubine at one moment, but changes his mind the next moment. After all, this matter is related to the system and imperial power, and this is no small matter.
Let’s talk about He Cairen.
After she came out of Wushou Palace, she suddenly felt abdominal discomfort. She didn't take it seriously at the time. It wasn't until she returned to Chuxiu Palace that her abdominal pain not only did not relieve, but became more and more severe.
She had always been nervous about the dragon in her belly, but now she suddenly had abdominal pain. Why didn't she get nervous?
Amber was also panicked and hurriedly asked the imperial doctor to go to Chuxiu Palace to see He Cairen.
Why did the imperial doctor look a little solemn after taking someone's pulse?
"It was fine for the past two days, why are there suddenly signs of a miscarriage?" the imperial doctor muttered to himself. Thinking that he had taken the wrong pulse, he checked He Cairen's pulse again, but the result was the same.
This shows that it is not that his diagnosis was wrong, but that He Cairen may have eaten something wrong.
"Mr. He, did you eat any food in the Wuyou Palace that was not conducive to raising a fetus?" the imperial doctor asked with a straight face.
He Cairen wanted to cry at this moment: "I eat the same as other concubines in the harem. Today is the queen of the virtuous concubine. She has no reason to give me harmful drugs in the meal?"
Originally she didn't want to eat, but the emperor was also present, so she couldn't make it too obvious.
The imperial doctor knew that the matter was of great importance and did not dare to hide anything. He immediately asked other imperial doctors to see He Cairen. The result was the same. There was something wrong with He Cairen's food, but he could not find out what he had eaten.
There was no reaction after taking this medicine at first, but it took half an hour for the reaction to occur.
The imperial doctor gave He Cai-ren an injection in an attempt to save the fetus. Unfortunately, He Cai-ren's abdomen became more and more painful, and later he even saw blood.
When all the imperial doctors saw this symptom, they were all panicked.
