After Mu Xue heard the news that He Zhaoyuan had called the emperor away from Yong'an Palace in the middle of the night, he sneered and said: "I don't see that He Zhaoyuan is still capable enough to intercept someone from Mu Ci in the middle of the night."
If so, it proves that the He family has some weight in the emperor's heart.
When she heard the news that the emperor had moved into Yong'an Palace, she was jealous and resentful. Her child died that day, and Mu Ci was highly suspected, but no one sought justice for her, and she could not find any evidence herself.
The murderer of her child has not yet been found.
Fortunately, Mu Ci was enjoying a prosperous life during this period, and even the emperor moved into Mu Ci's palace without any hesitation. This kind of favor was unprecedented among all the concubines in the previous dynasty of the Xia Kingdom.
What's more, Mu Ci has a special identity.
At present, He Zhaoyuan can still call the emperor away from Yong'an Palace. This He Zhaoyuan is not a vegetarian.
"It's a good thing that He Zhaoyuan took action to stop the Yong'an Palace man from being in the limelight. The empress can just reap the benefits." Lan Xin replied following her master's words.
"The profit of a fisherman? How long has it been since the emperor has been to Xihua Palace? Don't you know that I don't know it? The sisters in the entire harem are looking at my smile. If you don't get the attention of the emperor, where will the profit of a fisherman come from?
Is it profitable?" Muxue smiled sadly.
The emperor once held her up so high that when she fell down, the psychological gap was so big.
Coupled with the constant pressure on her from her father, one can imagine the psychological pressure on her.
Without seeing the emperor, everything is just empty talk.
If she continues to wait endlessly, the emperor may not even remember that there is a person like her in the harem.
Since she entered the palace, everything has gone so smoothly that she thought the harem was run by her own family. She never thought that she, who was favored for a while, would be reduced to the status of a servant, and it was difficult to even see the emperor.
Like ascending to heaven.
"There is no need for the empress to be so presumptuous. Maybe the emperor did not come to see the empress because he did not want to arouse the empress' sadness. Soon, the emperor will think of the empress' good deeds. By then, the most beautiful person in the harem will still not be the empress.
No one else." Lan Xin said all her good things, hoping that her master could regain his confidence.
Muxue's mood was waning. She was tired of hearing these comforting words, and she was not so naive.
It is true that the situation is not good for her now. If she wants to reverse the decline, she must take action...
The news about He Zhaoyuan's interception from Yong'an Palace spread in the harem. When He Zhaoyuan heard it, she smiled bitterly: "Why did you go to the emperor?"
Otherwise, nothing like this would have happened.
"Last night, the master was in severe pain. I couldn't find the imperial doctor. I really had no choice, so I thought of going to see the emperor. I thought that if the emperor opened his mouth, I could find an imperial doctor to treat the master, but I didn't expect that the emperor would come in the middle of the night.
Run over and see the master." Amber said calmly.
As for those rumors about competing for favor, they are even more nonsense.
The master is in such pain, how can he still fight for favor?
"Why did the emperor come here at that time?" He Zhaoyuan was also puzzled.
"The emperor is also kind to his master. Naturally, he came to visit because he was afraid that something would happen to his master." Amber thought this was very understandable.
No matter what, the master has also been pregnant with dragon heirs, and has also received many dragon pets.
It is strange to say that after Muxue slipped, the emperor gradually ignored Xihua Palace.
But after the mistress's pregnancy was lost, the emperor did not blame him at all, and he often received rewards.
Last night I came over specifically to visit my empress.
In this comparison, the master's favor is even better than that of the one from Xihua Palace.
"The emperor's favor comes and goes quickly. Once, Concubine De and Concubine Shu were very prosperous, but now, they have been abandoned by the emperor. How many harems are there like mine? I don't dare to do anything else.
I just hope that one day I can find out the real culprit who killed my child, but the emperor seems to have no intention of investigating."
Speaking of this, He Zhaoyuan darkened her eyebrows.
She thought that the emperor also loved the child in her belly, but until now, the emperor had not taken any action, and her heart became cold.
"Master, this pregnancy has a strange outcome. I don't know where to start to investigate. Maybe it was Concubine De who was behind the scenes and killed the little emperor." Amber said, feeling depressed again.
Concubine De had a high position and was in charge of the harem. Even if Concubine De was responsible for the murder, how could she prove it?
He Zhaoyuan couldn't help but feel sad when she thought of the child she had just lost, and wept secretly.
"Master is still in confinement. He is in a very tight condition. It is not advisable to shed tears, otherwise it will hurt his eyes. Master is still so young and will have many opportunities in the future. We must not let the root cause of his illness fall at this time." Amber comforted her softly.
He Zhaoyuan knew that what she said was reasonable, but she couldn't control her sadness.
After Dugu Liancheng went to court, he rushed over to see He Zhaoyuan as soon as possible.
When he entered, he saw He Zhaoyuan's eyes were red and swollen, and she looked like she had cried.
Amber wanted to remind He Zhaoyuan that the emperor was coming, but was stopped by the emperor. She could only quietly retreat to the side to wait.
It took a while for He Zhaoyuan to realize that Dugu Liancheng was coming, and she quickly stood up and saluted.
"There is no need to salute. You are weak and need to take good care of yourself." Dugu Liancheng stopped her.
He Zhaoyuan stared blankly at the long live master in front of her. He seemed to be no different from before, even though she did not protect their child.
She gritted her teeth and finally became cruel and knelt down on the couch: "I implore the emperor to find out the real culprit who killed the emperor's heir. As long as the murderer can be found out, it doesn't matter if I lose my life."
She cannot let her child go in vain. If the real murderer cannot be found, she will never have peace of mind in her life.
Dugu Liancheng's eyes were dark, and he asked after a while: "Do you have a suspect?"
Or evidence of guilt or witness?
"I am incompetent." He Zhaoyuan frowned.
She doesn't know who did it, there is no evidence, and she is still confused even now. How come her child, who was perfectly fine, disappeared?
"You have to know that you have been skidding for several days, and it is very difficult to conduct a thorough investigation now." Dugu Liancheng said this most practical issue.
He did not tell Mr. He that Concubine De was already investigating the case.
He Zhaoyuan raised her eyes after hearing this, and looked at the emperor in front of her with her watery eyes: "This is also your flesh and blood. Why didn't the emperor order a thorough investigation after knowing that my concubine had a miscarriage?"
Is it because you don't care, or because you don't care who the real murderer is?
Don't blame her for thinking so.
Concubine De was once so favored, but then she fell out of favor; Concubine Shu was once so favored, but she also fell out of favor.
Now if it were her, it wouldn't be rare at all.
"I can't prove that your child was murdered, how can I investigate thoroughly?" Dugu Liancheng asked.
He Zhaoyuan smiled bitterly, there seemed to be no big problem with this.
She was feeling better in the past few days, and only then did she think of investigating the case thoroughly.
