Zhao Ling thought he had planned everything, but he didn't know that in the end, he actually caused chaos for the emperor.
"The situation is currently at a stalemate. With your special status, you may be able to mediate and allow both sides to have steps to step down."
Mu Tong explained his purpose of coming.
Only then did Mu Ci react: "Did the emperor ask you to come?"
Dugu Liancheng has never been to Yong'an Palace since the first day of the new year. If we really need to find a mediator in this matter, it must be her.
She is the Queen Mother of the current dynasty, and her surname is Mu, so her status is reasonable.
Mu Tong continued: "Currently, information about Xihua Palace and the prison of the Ministry of Punishment has been blocked. Although the Emperor cannot make a decision, we can seize this advantage and let Mu Zhi delegate power..."
Upon hearing this, Mu Ci understood Dugu Liancheng's intention.
Although it is not appropriate to attack Mu Zhi at the moment, through this incident, Dugu Liancheng can take the opportunity to reduce Mu Zhi's rights.
No matter what, it is impossible for Mu Zhi and Mu Xue to escape unscathed from this incident.
**
Cherish the Flower Palace.
Mu Xue didn't have a good night's sleep for several days in a row. She didn't know the news outside, nor did she know what Mu Zhi was doing in the Ministry of Justice.
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Mu Ci suddenly came to Xihua Palace.
"What are you doing here at Xihua Palace?!" Mu Xue's heartbeat accelerated. Her palms were sweating as she watched Mu Ci approaching her.
"As you said, you and the Ai family have lived under the same roof for many years. When you were in trouble, Mu Xiang was also imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. The Ai family cares about their old relationship and should not just sit idly by and ignore it." Mu Ci. Take your seat gracefully.
"Do you really want to help me?!" Mu Xue's eyes flashed with surprise.
Mu Ci smiled slightly.
"Si Zhu, bring people in."
As soon as she finished speaking, Sizhu led someone inside.
"Zheng Cainu?!" Mu Xue saw the person clearly and her heart beat faster.
Could it be that the person who came was none other than Zheng Cainu, whom they thought had gone crazy?
Zheng Cainu knelt down in front of Mu Ci and Muxue: "I respectfully invite the Queen Mother, Concubine Shu, Jin An."
Mu Ci glanced at Mu Xue, whose face was as white as snow, and a faint smile appeared on his lips: "Zheng Cainu was wronged that day and was thrown into the cold palace. Later, you gave her abortion pills. Later, you thought she was crazy. You You must have thought that you had eradicated Zheng Cainv."
Mu Xue clenched her fists and looked at Lan Xin.
Lan Xin was sweating coldly.
She went to Beigong specifically that day and asked Zheng Cainu to eat dirt. Zheng Cainu ate it without saying a word. Looking at Zheng Cainu's appearance at that time, she thought Zheng Cainu was really crazy.
But it turned out that this was a trap set up by Mu Ci?
Mu Ci waved his hand, signaling Zheng Cainu to leave.
After Zheng Cainu left, Mu Ci said again: "Let's not talk about Zheng Cainu, let's just say that you killed the dragon heir in He Zhaoyuan's belly. Do you think the emperor can let you go easily?"
"Zheng Cainu's words are not credible. She has no witnesses or physical evidence. It is even more impossible for He Zhaoyuan to have evidence to prove that it was the concubine who killed her dragon heir. The Queen Mother will never think of convicting the concubine easily!" Mu Xue reacted quickly and said coldly. .
Dare to love Zheng Cainu, who was saved by Mu Ci just to defeat her today?
She really didn't expect that Mu Ci would do such a nasty thing.
"You can just lie to yourself with these words. If you think about Yun's fate that day, you should know what kind of crime you have committed." Mu Ci stood up as he spoke: "Originally, the Ai family came here because they wanted to I will help you get through this difficult time. Since you think you can escape the emperor's punishment, just pretend that the Ai family has never been here."
She is not the one who is panicking now, and it is not her who is plotting to murder the emperor's heir, but Muxue.
Just being charged with murdering the emperor's heir would make it difficult for Muxue to escape. What's more, Muxue also murdered two of the emperor's heirs.
Mu Xue was indeed panicked.
When she saw Zheng Cainu, she knew that the pregnancy in Zheng Cainu's belly would be remembered on her head. Even if He Zhaoyuan did not have any evidence, she had Zheng Cainu's account.
In addition, Mu Ci mentioned Yun Xi.
The Yun family was confiscated and exterminated because of the murder of the emperor's heir. She never dared to forget that incident.
Not to mention her, let’s talk about the other concubines in the harem. Who dares to forget that case?
Once the case was decided, the entire Cuiwei Palace was bathed in blood.
Under the imperial power, what is at stake is just a few lives?
Seeing that Mu Ci was about to leave, Mu Xue couldn't sit still. She caught up and said, "Queen Mother, please wait a moment!"
Mu Ci slowed down and looked back at Mu Xue: "If you don't welcome the Ai family, then the Ai family won't waste their time coming here. Originally, the Ai family wanted you to see the situation clearly. Since you are stubborn, the Ai family will still
What is there to say? You should be glad that it is the Ai family who is here today, not the emperor."
"What does the emperor mean?" Muxue asked reluctantly, unsure.
"Except for the fact that the Ai family met the emperor once on the first day of the new year, the emperor never showed up again. Even if the emperor wanted to protect you and Mr. Mu, how do you think you would be charged with murdering the emperor's heir and paying for the assassination of the current queen mother?
Revealed?" Mu Ci sneered and replied.
Mu Xue heard a flash of surprise in her eyes: "You mean the emperor wants to protect me and my father?"
"The Holy Will is unpredictable. The emperor has not issued an order to punish you so far, so he must still have some friendship with you. In addition, Mr. Mu is a veteran of the three dynasties, and he will look at the face of the Buddha even if he does not look at the monk's face. Otherwise, you guys
Father and daughter have long since met the same fate as the Yun family."
Mu Ci's words were true and false just to convince Muxue.
Dugu Liancheng asked her to come here for a visit, maybe because he was betting that Muxue would be carried away by love and that he believed that the emperor had feelings for her?
Mu Xue remained silent.
In this way, the emperor still has feelings for her, otherwise he would not hesitate to move forward.
"Do you know why the emperor ignored you in the first place?" Mu Ci asked again.
Muxue replied hoarsely: "Isn't it because I had a miscarriage that the emperor blamed me?"
"It's so wrong. It's because the emperor knew about your murderous attack on Zheng Cainu's dragon heir, and was disappointed in you, so he gradually neglected you. Think about Yun's fate at the beginning, and then think about the fact that you were just ignored by the emperor later.
You should know how different the emperor treats you."
When Mu Ci said this, he looked at Muxue with sharp eyes: "Because of this, you were jealous and framed. This time Zhao dared to pay for the assassination of the Ai family, and even put the blame on you, just because
Mrs. Zhao saw that the emperor was showing affection for you, and that's why you suffered this fatal disaster!"
Muxue was happy for a moment, and then frowned: "Just tell me how I can escape this disaster."
As long as the emperor has feelings for her, she will have a chance to win back the game and kill Zhao Ling.
The premise is that she must escape from this dead situation.
"The emperor's heart is like a needle in the sea. The Aijia cannot guess the emperor's thoughts. But you can try based on the current political situation. As for whether it will succeed or not, the Aijia cannot guarantee it." Mu Ci replied slowly.
