The people in the wind and snow are getting closer and closer, becoming clearer and more vivid.
Dugu Liancheng watched her walking towards him, and he actually had the illusion that the dust had settled.
His frantic heart slowly calmed down again.
Mu Ci did not expect that Dugu Liancheng would be at the palace gate, nor did he expect that he would greet her.
Seeing him pat the snowflakes off her head, she always felt that this action was too intimate and she was a little uncomfortable with it.
She avoided his movement and rubbed her hands, "It's so cold..."
After saying this, she passed by Dugu Liancheng and entered Yong'an Palace.
Dugu Liancheng looked at Sizhu: "How is the investigation going?"
"Nothing was found." Sizhu replied truthfully.
"Check slowly."
"When she goes out from now on, she should take more people with her." Dugu Liancheng said one more sentence before entering the palace gate.
Li Yu was a police officer. When he saw Mu Ci returning to Yong'an Palace, he immediately lit the golden charcoal and prepared a hand-warming pot and sent it to Mu Ci.
Mu Ci liked Li Yu's efficiency in doing things. Even Sizhu couldn't react as quickly as Li Yu.
She warmed her hands for a while, and the chill in her body dissipated.
Dugu Liancheng came in and saw this scene, and suddenly realized something was wrong: "You are not wearing a rouge button?"
Mu Ci was stunned and touched his neck.
She seemed to have taken it off last night and forgot to put it on today. No wonder she felt chilly today.
"Didn't I tell you not to take it off when you put it on? Do you dare to ignore my words?" Dugu Liancheng looked at Mu Ci coldly.
He gave her such a good thing and dared to take it off without wearing it. She deserved to freeze to death. He had never seen a woman who was more ignorant than her!
"It's just because I'm precious that I want to protect it well. Sometimes I can't bear to wear it, so I take it off. It's not like I don't want to wear it on purpose," Mu Ci said calmly.
It was indeed because the item was so good that she didn't dare to wear it. She was afraid that it would completely cure her chills and she might become pregnant in the future.
Of course she didn't dare to tell such a big truth.
"Good things must have an owner to look good. They cannot be taken off again, otherwise they will be punished for violating the decree!" Dugu Liancheng showed the majesty of the emperor.
Mu Ci didn't dare to openly disobey, he could only say so.
In this way, Mu Ci wore the rouge buckle again under the supervision of Dugu Liancheng. Not only that, from this day on, Dugu Liancheng had to check it every morning and evening. This was what made Mu Ci suffer the most.
The Rouge Button was indeed a good thing, but it was too good and she didn't want such a good thing.
Maybe she should find a chance to talk to Dugu Liancheng and ask him to take back this thing.
But after being supervised by Dugu Liancheng for two days, she couldn't stand it anymore.
Before going to bed that night, she took off the rouge button and gave it to Dugu Liancheng.
"What do you want to do?" Dugu Liancheng didn't know why.
Mu Ci looked pious: "My chills are gone. You are the emperor, and there are many people who will want to harm you. It is more appropriate to keep this thing with you."
When Dugu Liancheng heard this, he sighed with emotion: "You have grown up."
Knowing that she cares about his safety shows that she is sensible.
Mu Ci didn't know what this had to do with her growing up: "Your safety is related to the people of the world and the fate of the Xia Kingdom. You keep it and I will borrow it to wear it occasionally."
"Since it is given to you, it is your belongings. How can there be any reason to take back something that has been given away?" Dugu Liancheng said, and then put the rouge buckle back on Mu Ci's neck.
Mu Ci was very distressed: "But I'm worried about you..."
I wonder if Dugu Liancheng would believe her sincerity in sending this thing back because of her false feelings.
"I am the king of a country and can protect myself. You are different. You are a weak woman. I cannot always accompany you on weekdays. I heard that this thing has miraculous functions, so you can keep it."
When Dugu Liancheng said this, his expression was also serious.
Mu Cixin said that the emperor was unambiguous in his performance of this show of hypocrisy.
"Well, I'll keep it for now." She was the only one to bring up the topic.
If her rebirth is related to this rouge button, then keeping this thing may save her life. By the way, if the emperor wants to kill her brother, she can still keep it for him.
Why didn't she think of this?
Thinking of this, the rouge button on her chest seemed to become warmer...
The next day, Sansou Palace welcomed a charming guest, it was Mu Ci.
Zhao Ling knew that Mu Ci would find out about Wuyou Palace sooner or later.
The day He Zhaoyuan miscarried was her first child. Whether it was a coincidence or He Zhaoyuan's fetus was actually harmed by someone, Wuyou Palace could not escape the suspicion. As the person in charge of the case, Mu Ci naturally wanted to find out.
She had already ordered someone to prepare a meal list for the tenth day of the lunar month.
Mu Ci took the list and looked at it carefully, and said with unclear meaning: "It seems that you are well prepared."
Even if it was true that Zhao Ling poisoned He Zhaoyuan's pregnancy, there is no evidence that he still has it. If there was evidence, it would have been destroyed long ago.
"I know that the Queen Mother is responsible for thoroughly investigating the case. I know that the Queen Mother will come here sooner or later, so I dare not neglect it." Zhao Ling made up his mind and added: "I will definitely cooperate with the Queen Mother and will never hold her back.
."
"If it was you who committed the murder, would you still be able to leave evidence?" Mu Ci said, handing the list to Sizhu.
Sizhu and Jirou went aside and took a closer look. If there was anything strange, multiple people and multiple pairs of eyes might be able to spot it.
"My concubine will not go to the belly of the sisters in the harem. It is pitiful to say that it has been nearly a year and a half since the emperor ascended the throne. However, except when she was in the East Palace, Le Shuyuan was lucky enough to be pregnant with the dragon heir and successfully gave birth to the prince. Later, she became pregnant.
None of the sisters on the list could be saved."
Speaking of this, Zhao Ling also let out a long sigh to express his regret.
"I don't know if it's because the feng shui of the harem is bad, or if it's the emperor's destiny to be like this?"
Mu Ci had a thought in his mind.
Apart from Dugu Liancheng's unwillingness to enter the harem at first, there was never any room for officials from the previous court to comment on matters in the harem.
After all, he had people in his harem, and he was exposed to both rain and dew. The most important thing was that these concubines were pretty good-looking and had many pregnancies, but none of them had a good enough life to give birth.
Before and after, four people had died in infancy.
The first one is Mrs. Zhao in front of her. Her child was killed by herself. So far, she has not figured out why Zhao Ling was so cruel as to kill her child.
Could it be because she knew that she couldn't keep her child, so she might as well find an opportunity to cooperate and get rid of it in exchange for a chance to rise to the top.
Thinking about it this way, it seems to make sense. Although Zhao Ling currently has no children, she relied on ruthless means to become the master of Wushou Palace and one of the four concubines.
The second place is Zheng Cainv.
Zheng Cainv's pregnancy was an accident, but it was expected that Muxue would blame her. In the end, it was expected that Zheng Cainu would be thrown into the cold palace and the child would be lost.
