Seeing that Mu Ci was so self-conscious, Dugu Liancheng smiled instead of getting angry: "You still know that I am here to favor you?"
Are you feeling good now?
"Otherwise?" Mu Ci felt confused.
Didn't he always order her to sleep with him every time he came to Yong'an Palace?
A busy man like him had no time to chat with her about romantic matters.
Dugu Liancheng pursed his lips tightly. He shouldn't have come to Yong'an Palace. This woman could make his heart hurt and his head hurt with just one word.
He sat down on the edge of the bed and shook his heavy head.
Mu Ci noticed that his face was a little pale, so he stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Dugu Liancheng grabbed her hand and placed it on his heart: "Please rub it for me, it hurts here."
Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, Mu Ci rubbed it for him meaningfully. After a while, he saw his face light up: "It's better."
"Are you sure?" Mu Ci looked at Dugu Liancheng suspiciously.
She looked like she was in pain just now, but she was healed in the blink of an eye? Are you teasing her?
Dugu Liancheng grabbed her hand and looked at her white fingertips. The more he looked at them, the more beautiful they became: "Your hands have magic power."
Mu Ci got goosebumps from his disgusting look. She wanted to pull her hand away, but he held it tightly. In the end, he stopped ordering her to sleep with him, but insisted on holding her hand and falling asleep.
Not long after, Dugu Liancheng fell asleep.
When he was sleeping, he didn't have the stern smile when he was wearing a dragon robe. Instead, he looked more childish and looked very harmless.
But this emperor was a poisonous snake, not only insidious, but also unblinking when eating people.
She tried to pull her hand away, but Dugu Liancheng held it tightly and showed no sign of letting go.
In the end, she gave up her struggle and let him hold her. She woke up once in the middle of the night and found that Dugu Liancheng was still holding her hand, which left her speechless.
What kind of strange hobby does he have? How can anyone be so vigilant when sleeping? But from the look of him, he must be fast asleep.
When it was time to go to court, she nudged Dugu Liancheng, "Wake up, it's almost time to go to court."
By then, if he misses the morning meeting, Dugu Liancheng will blame her for not calling him.
She and Dugu Liancheng didn't do anything last night, so there was no reason for him to miss the morning meeting.
Dugu Liancheng seemed not to have heard her words and continued to sleep soundly.
Mu Ci had no choice but to step forward and pinch him on the face: "Emperor, if you don't get up, you will miss the morning court!"
Dugu Liancheng grabbed her hand and said, "Don't make any noise."
Mu Ci kept fussing, grabbed Dugu Liancheng's ears with all his strength, and shouted: "I'm going to miss the morning meeting!"
Dugu Liancheng opened his sleepy eyes, touched his ears, and looked at the audacious Mu Ci: "How dare you yell at me like this because of the courage of a leopard."
"Hurry up and go to court. If you don't go to court, you will be late..." Before Mu Ci could finish speaking, Dugu Liancheng dragged him into his arms.
After about a quarter of an hour, Dugu Liancheng finally let her go and washed and changed clothes.
He moved very quickly this time. He quickly got dressed and left Yong'an Palace in a hurry.
Mu Ci glanced at his back, shook his head, fell down and continued to catch up on his sleep...
When Dugu Liancheng arrived at the Chengqian Hall, the time was just right. If it had been any later, he would have missed the morning meeting again.
He slept well last night. He was in good spirits and in a good mood. Plus, without Muzhi's old bald donkey in front of him, he felt refreshed.
Soon he saw Mu Tong standing in the row of generals, and suddenly remembered what happened yesterday.
He had already received news that Mu Tong had gone to Yong'an Palace to find Mu Ci. He wanted to ask Mu Ci about this last night, but he was so angry with Mu Ci that he forgot such important matters.
When he went to court, Li Yu caught up with Mu Tong and said respectfully: "Lieutenant Mu Du, please stay. Your Majesty invites you."
Mu Tong was wondering why the emperor had not allowed him to meet the emperor for so long. Today, he finally waited, and his mind was a little calmer.
When he arrived at Yanfu Palace, Dugu Liancheng personally made a pot of hot tea.
Seeing Mu Tong coming, he said slowly: "What are you doing? Sit down."
"The general will be frightened." Mu Tong hesitated.
Dugu Liancheng motioned for him to take a seat: "With your friendship with me, why do you need to be afraid?"
Mu Tong finally took his seat.
It wasn't until Dugu Liancheng poured him a cup of tea that he stood up in fear again.
"You were not as reserved as you are now." Dugu Liancheng noticed something strange about Mu Tong.
Mutong didn't expect the emperor to be so attentive. He didn't know how to answer and was not good at lying, so he simply remained silent.
"Look at the darkness under your eyes, but you didn't sleep well last night?" Dugu Liancheng asked again.
When I saw Mu Ci yesterday, she looked very worried. The Mu brothers and sisters are both big-hearted people, and it would not be a trivial matter to make them behave strangely at the same time.
"Nothing can be hidden from the Emperor." Mu Tong smiled bitterly.
He was afraid that if he said too much and made many mistakes, he would also bring trouble to Mu Ci.
"But what did the Queen Mother tell you?" Dugu Liancheng followed the instructions.
How could Mutong dare to tell the truth: "Of course not..."
"Mu Tong, look at me and answer." Dugu Liancheng interrupted Mu Tong.
Mutong secretly complained, but did not dare to disobey the imperial edict. He raised his head and looked directly at the long live master in front of him: "It's just some household matters that are bothering me. I don't want to spread the household affairs everywhere, and I hope the emperor will forgive me."
What he said is not false, so it is not a lie and he does not feel guilty.
Dugu Liancheng looked at Mu Tong for a moment, but still chose to believe Mu Tong.
He could trust Mu Tong's character. If he said it was a household matter, it was a household matter. Perhaps it was the reconciliation between Geng and Mu Zhi that troubled Mutong.
He straightened his expression and turned to business: "I intend to make you a general, what do you think?"
As soon as Mu Tong heard this, he immediately knelt down at the feet of Dugu Liancheng: "The general is still young and not qualified enough to take on this important task. Please take back your order!"
Dugu Liancheng looked at the top of Mu Tong's head thoughtfully.
There were so many people who coveted the position of general, but it was strange that Mutong was unwilling to accept the order.
In fact, he also felt that it was indeed too early for Mu Tong to become a general so quickly. However, he still valued Mu Tong, so he wanted to ask Mu Tong's opinion first.
The result coincided with his idea, which was an unexpected surprise.
"Then I'll listen to you. You are young and promising, and your future will be limitless. The country cannot do without a pillar like you. Even if you are not made a general today, I will definitely reward you in the future." Dugu Liancheng responded cheerfully.
Mu Tong breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, it is not appropriate to be too pushy. If he does not want to retire from the battlefield, he might as well be demoted.
In this way, he will not bring disaster to his mother and Mu Ci.
Yes, Mu Ci is the queen mother of the dynasty and holds a high and powerful position. If Mu Zhi is punished, will Mu Ci also be implicated?
In the nightmare that Mu Ci talked about, something happened to her mother, and something happened to him, too, but what about Mu Ci herself? In that dream, Mu Ci's fate must not have been good, but she didn't mention herself.
