Seeing that Meiren Zeng was so easy to talk to and didn't deliberately beat around the bush, Mu Xue felt at ease.
As long as someone helps her spread the word, she still has a chance.
She explained this to Zeng Meiren once, and Zeng Meiren agreed and left Xihua Palace.
After leaving Xihua Palace, Zeng Meiren was not in a hurry.
She did not rush to Yong'an Palace, but went to the Imperial Garden first. The Imperial Garden seemed a little deserted on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Because Concubine Shu was suspected of murdering the emperor's heir, everyone in the harem was watching the change in the direction of the wind.
Everyone is fine and will not go out and walk around on the first day of the new year.
She took a leisurely walk around the garden, and about half an hour later, she went to Yong'an Palace.
Mu Ci didn't expect to welcome Zeng Meiren as a guest. It wasn't until Zeng Meiren took her seat that she took a good look at this beauty in a lotus-colored palace dress.
The woman in front of her looked still young, that is, about sixteen years old. She had a light smile on her face and was not overbearing. She looked likeable.
The beauty Zeng had never caught her eye before. Firstly, she did not regard the concubines in the harem as her enemies. Secondly, she always thought that she was just the queen mother and would not provoke the emperor's harem concubines.
But when beautiful and beautiful women appeared in front of her, she felt that her idea of taking a chance was ridiculous.
She entered the harem and sat on the emperor's dragon bed. How could the emperor's concubines not regard her as an enemy?
The beautiful Zeng in front of her, who had never been favored by the emperor, must have resented her in her heart.
"I specially wish to pay New Year greetings to the Queen Mother. Since entering the palace, this is the first time I have the opportunity to see the Queen Mother alone. This is the New Year gift I have prepared, and I hope the Queen Mother will accept it." Zeng Meiren smiled and gave the gift to her.
Go to Mu Ci.
Sizhu stepped forward to accept the gift, and Mu Ci replied: "You're welcome."
Zeng Meiren then talked about some irrelevant topics, and then got to the main topic: "In the opinion of the Empress Dowager, is Concubine Shu indeed the real murderer of the emperor's heir?"
There are many intrigues about me in the harem, and she also wants to know whether the current Queen Mother will protect Muxue.
It was never a secret that Mu Xue and Mu Ci were at odds. Mu Ci's biological mother, Geng, also divorced Mu Xiang because of Lin's interference.
Everyone in the world knows this.
But no matter what, Mu Xiang was Mu Ci's biological father, and Mu Ci was the current Queen Mother, so the emperor's attitude towards Mu Ci was ambiguous.
If Mu Ci said a few nice words to Mu Zhi in front of the emperor, everything would change again.
Of course she was not working as a lobbyist for Muxue. She came here purely to test Mu Ci's tone.
When Muxue was in trouble, she was eager to step on her again. How could she become Muxue's lobbyist at this critical moment?
But in front of Muxue, she naturally still had to act.
"Concubine De is handling this case, and the Ai family doesn't know about it. You asked the wrong person." Mu Ci's expression was indifferent, and there was no sign of happiness or anger in the Ai family.
Zeng Meiren glanced at Mu Ci, and for a moment she was not sure what Mu Ci was thinking.
"Then the Emperor's side..."
She bit her lip before speaking. Mu Ci looked at her with a seemingly harmless gaze, and she immediately lowered her head in fright.
"How can you and I guess the emperor's thoughts? As for how the emperor will handle this case, only the emperor knows. If you want to know, you might as well ask the emperor?" Mu Ci curled his lips with a half-smile.
According to her opinion, it was not a coincidence that Zeng Meiren would appear in Yong'an Palace. Mu Xue must have wanted to let Zeng Meiren come and talk to her.
How could Zeng Meiren be easily used by Muxue? It was just a pretense and sent Muxue away.
Muxue is now in trouble, and those who used to dislike Muxue are ready to take action. Isn't this Zeng in front of him one of those who beat up the drowned dog?
If she doesn't have the ability to discuss others, she is still very good at guessing people's hearts.
"What the empress said is that I have exceeded the rules." Zeng Meiren did not dare to stay any longer.
She casually found an excuse and left Yong'an Palace.
Finally, she returned to Xihua Palace, and Lan Xin couldn't wait to find her.
"I conveyed my concubine's words to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother only said that everything depends on the emperor's wishes. Although I tried my best to speak for Empress Shu, the Queen Mother was always lukewarm. Later, the Queen Mother issued an order to expel me, but I could not do anything.
, I have no choice but to come back first." Zeng Meiren is a good singer and songwriter, and her voice is full of emotion. She wants Mu Xue to know that she has done her best.
But whether she can help Mu Xueda achieve his wish after trying her best is beyond her ability.
After hearing this, Mu Xue looked at Lan Xin, who understood and stepped forward to reward Zeng Meiren.
Zeng Meiren talked for a while and then left the main hall.
As soon as Meiren Zeng left, the smile on Mu Xue's face turned cold, "Do you think Meiren Zeng is running errands for me?"
From the very beginning, Meiren Zeng accepted the job readily. At first glance, Meiren Zeng didn't even hesitate at all. However, it was precisely because of this that she suspected that Meiren Zeng was acting erratically.
Everyone is hanging out in the harem, who is not trying to step on the superior and support the inferior? There are not a few like Zeng Meiren.
"Ms. Zeng seems to be insincere. She must have not tried her best to do things for the empress this time." Lan Xin is also well-informed and expressed her inner intuition.
"Now that I am in trouble, everyone is eager to step on my head. If I can escape this time, I swear that I will not let anyone embarrass me!" Mu Xue
said harshly.
A tiger has been bullied by a dog, but now she has not been stared at by anyone. Every one of these people wants to laugh at her. With those women, are they worthy?
It’s just that she is now trapped in Xihua Palace, and it is still the first day of the new year. Even her father is in trouble. How can she get out of the predicament now?
How great would it be if Mu Ci was willing to lend a helping hand to her?
Let’s go back to Yong’an Palace.
After Mu Ci dismissed Zeng Meiren, she nestled in the warm pavilion to warm herself by the fire. She was thinking about her thoughts and reading medical books, doing two things at once, and the day passed quickly.
After dinner, she went to bed early to rest, planning to read some medical books before going to bed.
While she was looking at it, there was another person in front of her, blocking the light in front of her.
She raised her eyes and met Dugu Liancheng's dark eyes.
"You're here." She was neither surprised nor surprised. She had long been used to Dugu Liancheng's mysterious appearance.
She thought that as everyone said, during this sensitive period, Dugu Liancheng would avoid some taboos, but how did she know that on the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Dugu Liancheng actually came to Yong'an Palace.
"Go further in." Dugu Liancheng ordered Mu Ci.
Mu Ci sat still in his original position, but Dugu Liancheng simply took action and pushed Mu Ci to the inside of the phoenix couch, occupying Mu Ci's position just now.
It's warm here, with the residual warmth left by Mu Ci and the fragrance she left behind.
This daughter's fragrance seemed to sink into his heart, and his heart also felt comforted...
