After Mu Ci left Changyin Pavilion, what happened next had nothing to do with her.
No matter how Dugu Liancheng treats Mu Zhi or Muxue, it is Dugu Liancheng's business.
On the night of New Year's Eve, Dugu Liancheng did not return to Yong'an Palace, but the night was not peaceful.
Mu Ci heard about it the next day. Mu Zhi was imprisoned by Dugu Liancheng on suspicion of assassinating Mu Ci. However, because the assassin was killed by Mu Ci, there were no witnesses in the case, and no clues could be found for a while.
As for Mu Xue, she was also banned from the Xihua Palace because she was suspected of poisoning the dragon heir in He Zhaoyuan's belly.
The people imprisoned here are all famous figures. One is the prime minister of the dynasty, and the other is one of the four concubines. They are still father and daughter.
One of Mu's father and daughter was imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, and the other was grounded. Anyone with a discerning eye knows what this phenomenon represents.
Things are going to change in the court. Since the emperor dares to touch Mu Zhi, he must take action against Mu Zhi, or reduce Mu Zhi's rights in the court.
As one of the four concubines, Muxue was suspected of murdering the emperor's heir. Such a crime was not a small one. Yun Xi learned from the past.
The next thing everyone has to do is to wait and see what happens.
Many people have expressed their intention to take sides. If they make the wrong choice, they may lose the future of the entire family.
Mu Ci remained silent after listening to the news Feng Jiu inquired about.
Dugu Liancheng did not return to Yong'an Palace last night, which means that Dugu Liancheng is already avoiding suspicion.
What's interesting is Zhao Ling, she can actually guess the emperor's thoughts.
Otherwise, Zhao Ling would not dare to find an assassin and pretend to assassinate her. Zhao Ling was sure that in Dugu Liancheng's heart, imperial power was greater than anything else. Moreover, Zhao Ling also saw clearly that Dugu Liancheng was eager to get rid of Mu Zhi, so he dared to leave.
Such a step.
Zhao Ling is a woman who is better at understanding people's hearts than she thought.
She underestimated it after all.
"Concubine De is a powerful character. If Lord Mu is convicted this time, Concubine De will take the lead. By then, Concubine De will probably be ahead of all the concubines in the harem." Feng Jiu made a cup of tea for Mu Ci and analyzed
The current situation.
"From the day Zhao entered the palace, she has been on a meteoric rise. Now she has seized this opportunity to soar into the sky. If she helps the emperor remove the thorn in Mu Zhi's side this time, she will definitely be the best in the future.
The number one person in the harem!" Mu Ci smiled coldly: "A good strategy and a good means."
A harem woman can start from the situation in the court and seize this opportunity. How could such a person not ascend to a high position?
She had known for a long time that all the concubines in the harem were from high backgrounds, and none of them were vegetarians. But like Zhao Ling, if she doesn't succeed, who else can succeed?
"Are we just going to watch Concubine De stepping on the Empress to take the throne without any solution?" Feng Jiu said, quietly glancing at Mu Ci.
In terms of scheming, the Queen Mother is no worse than any other woman in the harem, but many times, the Queen Mother does not want to scheme.
Speaking of the last time, didn't Zhao Ling step on the empress and climb up to the position of virtuous concubine?
"What you said is correct. This is the second time." A cold smile appeared in Mu Ci's eyes.
Zhao Ling did something even more ruthless this time, using her to step on Mu Zhi and Mu Xue, trying to rise up the ladder.
But not every time Zhao Ling can achieve what he wants.
Not every time, Zhao Ling can succeed by stepping on her. She is also poisonous...
**
Sans Souci Palace.
Jin Qiu recounted the current situation to Zhao Ling and said with a smile: "In terms of calculations, who in the harem has such a strategy as the empress? As soon as the empress took action, she brought down everyone in Mu Mansion, even the Queen Mother.
, and they are all being plotted by the empress.”
When mentioning this matter, Jin Qiu couldn't help but speak in a high voice.
She really admired her empress's strategy for actually coming up with such a poisonous move.
Last night, the person from Yongfa Palace must have been unable to sleep at night, right?
"Don't be too happy. Although I have figured out the emperor's thoughts, the Mu family has deep roots in the imperial court. If we really want to uproot the Mu family, and even make the emperor have a grudge against the Queen Mother, this matter still depends on the follow-up.
Development." Even though she said this, the smile on Zhao Ling's lips could not hide her pride.
No matter how powerful Mu Ci's flirting methods are, what's the matter?
Comparing women with imperial power, imperial power is obviously more important.
The emperor was by no means a mediocre person who lusted after women, and she had grasped his thoughts accurately.
The emperor desperately wanted to get rid of Mu Zhi, so she just had to grasp this. Who would be her opponent in the harem?
When she finds another opportunity in the future, becomes pregnant with the emperor's heir, and wins the emperor's heart, she will no longer be afraid of anyone.
"Your Majesty's goal has been achieved. Your Majesty went to bed in Yanfu Palace yesterday and did not go to Yong'an Palace. Now everyone is spreading the news that the Queen Mother has fallen out of favor." Jin Qiu said, admiring the Empress's strategy again: "Your Majesty's tricks have failed.
It’s really high when you take it with you.”
No matter how beautiful Mu Ci is and how favored he is by the emperor, will he still be left out in the cold in the end?
"It's only the first day, why are you happy? The real battle hasn't started yet, let's wait and see." Zhao Ling's face was filled with pride, but he couldn't hide it at all.
Not everyone has such an opportunity, but she not only got it, but seized it.
Although she kept telling herself that it was too early to be happy now, she couldn't help but laugh when she thought of how Mu Ci was defeated by her yesterday.
Mu Ci boasted of being favored by the emperor and thought that he would be able to dominate the harem.
She wanted Mu Ci to know that the emperor's favor came and went even faster, no one was an exception, and Mu Ci could not escape such a dead end.
There are so many people waiting to see Mu Ci's jokes right now. She doesn't need to say more. Those concubines in the harem who are jealous of Mu Ci being favored by the emperor must be eager to see Mu Ci fall from a high place.
?
She also had the same thoughts...
Hanyunxuan.
Shen Manyun ran to find An Rong early in the morning.
An Rong was playing the piano while listening to Shen Manyun analyze the current situation in the harem.
Speaking of the excitement, Shen Manyun couldn't hide her excited tone: "When it comes to ruthless people, Concubine De is the one who is really ruthless. She even plotted against Mu Ci..."
She kept chatting, but An Rong didn't even respond. She was a little surprised for a while.
"Sister An, are you listening to me?" Shen Manyun said calmly.
Sometimes An Rong is very talkative, and sometimes she is very unpredictable. She can rarely guess what An Rong is thinking. Sometimes she is glad that An Rong is her companion, not her enemy.
An Rong finally stopped playing the piano and looked at Shen Manyun with raised eyebrows: "No matter how clever Concubine De is, she may not be the final winner. The Queen Mother looks passive now, but as long as the Emperor's heart is with the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother will have nothing to fear."
