"Are you talking about the Emperor or the Queen Mother?" Shen Manyun's face darkened.
Is Mu Ci really that good?
The emperor is wise and powerful, and he is not a fatuous king who only loves beauty. How could he protect Mu Ci despite knowing that his surname was Mu?
"Only the Emperor knows this. Concubine De thinks she has calculated everything, and she is just feeling complacent at the moment. If the result is not as Concubine De wishes, I don't know what kind of expression Concubine De will have." As he spoke, An A sharp look flashed in Rong's eyes.
"This is indeed the most unpredictable thing about the emperor's heart. Even if the emperor really wants to suppress Master Mu's momentum, now may not be the best time to attack the Mu family. Concubine De is so eager to take action that she even takes Mu Ci with her. If you go in, if you encounter backlash, I'm afraid you won't end well." Shen Manyun followed his advice and quickly drew inferences.
In this harem, who dares to say that he is the winner? No one knows who will be the final winner until the end.
An Rong smiled lightly: "Sister, what you said makes sense."
"In my opinion, sister, is now the best time to impress Lord Mu?" Shen Manyun asked.
"The emperor's thoughts are worthy of scrutiny. Last night, the emperor did not return to Yong'an Palace. This may be a signal. Whether the emperor touches the Mu family or not, it may not have anything to do with the Queen Mother." An Rong looked forward, her eyes losing focus: "The Queen Mother has severed the father-daughter relationship with Mu Zhi long ago. When faced with the assassin last night, the Queen Mother did not hesitate to kill him."
Mu Ci was already taking action.
Zhao Ling thought that if Mu Mansion fell, Mu Ci would suffer accordingly. That would be a big mistake.
Mu Ci has already made full preparations for the future fall of Mu Mansion. The true master of the exquisite seven-aperture heart must be Mu Ci.
"If it can't hurt the Queen Mother at all, Concubine De's plan would be a pity." Shen Manyun couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
She also wanted to see Mu Ci fall from a high place. After An Rong's analysis, she was afraid that Mu Ci would not be implicated.
"What's a pity? Concubine De has grasped the emperor's thoughts and dared to touch the Mu family, and the emperor is supporting Concubine De behind her back. She has won this battle. If Master Mu is killed this time, the emperor will remember it. Concubine De is so good. When Concubine Shu dies in the harem, Concubine De will become the leading one in the harem?" An Rong's smile gradually became cold: "This is the greatness of Concubine De. "
Zhao Ling is not eager to compete for favor, but starts with power. This is her cleverness.
Sister Shen is just the opposite. She only wants to win the emperor's heart, but the emperor has no intention. How can she give it to Sister Shen?
Compared with Zhao Linglai, Sister Shen is not just a little bit worse.
"De Concubine is really a good calculator." Shen Manyun clenched her fists: "Can we just watch De Concubine getting stronger day by day while we do nothing?"
An Rong laughed when she heard this: "Has Sister Shen planned anything for this?"
She didn't want to make progress, and she didn't allow others to seize the opportunity to climb up. Sister Shen really got better and better as she lived.
Shen Manyun was choked by An Rong's words and couldn't speak. After a long time, she said in a low voice: "Is it useless for you to blame me?"
Seeing her discouraged look, An Rong just smiled: "It's good now. At least I can settle down and live without having to face too many calculations."
As long as the emperor doesn't pay attention, Sister Shen can live in the harem for a long time. This is not a bad way to live.
Shen Manyun couldn't tell whether her words were true or false for a moment, so he simply fell silent.
Most of the people in the harem were watching the fun and waiting to see Mu Ci and Mu Xue's jokes.
Since the new emperor ascended the throne, he could count the favored concubines on one hand, and the most proud among them was none other than Muxue.
Although the other person is not one of the emperor's harem, because of the emperor's love, people often gnash their teeth with hatred, but there is no way to deal with it. That person is, of course, the queen mother of the dynasty.
Currently, Mu Zhi is in jail, Mu Xue is grounded, and Concubine De is responsible for investigating the assassination of the Queen Mother and the miscarriage of He Zhaoyuan.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows what this means.
Next, it depends on whether Muxue can turn over.
As for Mu Ci's thoughts, no one was sure. Last night, Mu Ci killed the assassin with a resolute attitude, then left Mu Zhi and Muxue behind, seemingly not caring about the lives of Mu Zhi and Muxue at all.
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the emperor didn't say anything. He only asked Mu Xue to be grounded in Xihua Palace.
What exactly this means, probably only the emperor knows.
As for Muxue, who was confined to Xihua Palace, she couldn't sleep all night.
She was grounded and her father was imprisoned. Neither of them were free, so it was much harder to exchange news than before. If only one of them, father and daughter, was free, they would not be as passive as they are now.
"My Majesty, why don't you close your eyes first? Maybe the situation is not as bad as your Majesty thinks." Lan Xin saw that Muxue was restless and was very anxious.
The incident has come to this point, and even if I don't sleep, I can't change the situation.
"How can I sleep?" Muxue sat there blankly, and after a long time she asked: "Is there any way you can get out?"
"What do you want to do?" Lan Xin asked quietly.
The emperor issued an imperial edict that the empress must be confined in Xihua Palace, perhaps to prevent the empress from spreading news to the outside world.
If they go out, wouldn't they be disobeying the imperial edict, which would be a serious crime of beheading.
"Perhaps we can go to Mu Ci. If she comes to rescue us, there may be room for change." Mu Xue said solemnly.
She has run out of ideas. The only person she can think of right now is Mu Ci.
"We can't count on the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother has long regarded her as a thorn in her side. How can she help her at this critical moment?" Lan Xin made no secret of her inner thoughts.
Even counting on the emperor is better than counting on Mu Ci.
"Then what should we do? Wait for death?" Muxue was furious and swept a tea cup on the table.
Lan Xin kept silent, not daring to say anything more.
"No matter what, you have to try. Waiting for death is not my style." Mu Xue said, looking at Lan Xin: "Go and call Meiren Zeng over."
She was grounded, but Zeng Meiren was not. At this time, Zeng Meiren could take her place and go to Yong'an Palace to explore Mu Ci's tone of voice.
Lan Xin remembered that there was such a person in Xihua Palace.
She hurriedly said yes and went to invite Zeng Meiren to come to the main hall.
After Zeng Meiren greeted her, Mu Xue didn't waste any time and went straight to the point: "I would like to invite you to go to Yong'an Palace to run errands. Are you willing?"
Zeng Meiren's eyes flashed slightly.
This is the head of Xihua Palace in front of her. She saw how Zheng Cainu was framed by Concubine Shu.
Now it's Concubine Shu's turn to be in trouble, isn't it because she has committed too many sins?
She thought this was ironic, but on the surface it was impossible to go against Muxue's intention: "Of course I am willing to serve Concubine Shu."
As for how she speaks in front of Mu Ci, Mu Xue may not know.
