Zhao Ling's life in Guanjingtang was not easy. Although the rash on his face gradually improved, it was painful every extra day he stayed in a place like Guanjingtang.
Not long after her face recovered, she fell victim to other nasty tricks and suffered from diarrhea every day. Although it could not kill her, it was a suffering for her because she still had to do manual labor.
If things go on like this, she won't be able to bear it.
"Concubine Shu, that bitch! When I leave, I will definitely tear up Concubine Shu with my own hands!" Zhao Ling gritted his teeth with hatred when he mentioned Muxue.
The reason why she had frequent diarrhea was undoubtedly because Muxue was behind it.
Mu Xue just hoped that she would die in Guanjing Hall and never return to the harem. How could she fulfill that bitch's wish?
However, now that she is in Guanjing Hall, it is impossible to predict what kind of fate she will have in the future.
I'm afraid that as time goes by, the emperor will have forgotten her as a person, and there will be no place for her in the harem by then.
The top priority is to return to the harem. In Guanjing Hall, you can only be beaten and there is no chance to fight back.
However, my father should have taken some action, right?
After all, she is also the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Guo. Her father knew that she had fallen into Guanjing Hall, so there was no way he would not help her. As long as the Palace of the Duke of Guo did not give up on her, she would have a chance to escape from Guanjing Hall.
The premise is that she must survive in Guanjing Hall.
Her father must be thinking of a solution, so there is no need for her to be too anxious.
The next thing she has to do is to strengthen her confidence and not fall down.
On the other side, Mu Ci has been waiting for someone to save Zhao Ling. She knows that Mu Xue will not let Zhao Ling have a hard time, and there must be more to come.
At that time, as long as someone takes action, she will be able to trace the clues of that person.
However, the other party acted covertly. Although Zhao Ling was framed by Muxue again, she never came to help again, so she had no chance to catch the man by his tail.
Interestingly, at this moment, my brother sent someone into the palace, claiming that it was the old lady from Duke Zhao's mansion who went to Yaju to ask for an audience with Geng.
Because it has been more than a month since Mutong returned to Beijing this time and he is almost leaving the capital.
As a general, it was impossible for Mu Tong to stay in the capital for a long time. This time it was also because something happened to Mu Zhi, and Mu Tong stayed in the capital for a longer time because he was worried about Mu Ci and the Geng family.
As for the old lady from Duke Zhao's palace who wanted to see Geng, Mu Ci could guess why.
No matter whether the old lady in Duke Zhao's mansion went to Yaju for help because she was old and confused, or because she was desperate, she still made Mu Ci laugh and cry.
The grudge between her and Zhao Ling is not a trivial matter, and Mrs. Zhao has no reason not to know about her and Zhao Ling. In this case, why did the old lady still seek Yaju? Is it because she is sure that she, the Queen Mother, has no temper?
Interestingly, my brother sent someone to the palace to tell her about this matter, and Dugu Liancheng asked about it that night: "I thought you were at odds with Concubine De."
As soon as Mu Ci heard what he said, he knew that he had heard that the old lady of the Duke's Mansion wanted to see Mr. Geng.
"We can't talk about reconciliation, but Concubine De is quite hostile to me. As for Mrs. Zhao going to see Mr. Geng, I was not expecting it." Mu Ci looked calm.
She has never had any friendship with Duke Zhao, let alone Zhao Ling. She is not afraid of making this matter clear to the emperor directly.
Dugu Liancheng smiled: "Really?"
He was also a little surprised when he learned that Mrs. Zhao went to see Geng. He once thought that Mu Ci had shaken hands with Zhao Ling and made peace.
"I'll tell Mr. Geng to close the door later and don't see any guests." Mu Ci said in order to dispel Dugu Liancheng's doubts.
Dugu Liancheng didn't say anything else.
As soon as he lowered his head, he saw that the robe he was wearing had fallen off somewhere.
He simply took off his robe and found something for Mu Ci to do: "Please sew a seam in my robe."
"Just throw it away after it's worn out. You are the emperor, why do you have to dress so shabbily." Mu Ci refused without saying a word.
Firstly, she didn't like being a female celebrity, and secondly, she didn't want to look like she was familiar with the emperor.
"You don't want me to be in love forever?" Dugu Liancheng said coldly: "This is an imperial edict, you have to sew it up for me without making any mistakes!"
This woman, Mu Ci, could always easily arouse his anger and make him want to strangle her to death.
Seeing Dugu Liancheng acting like an emperor, Mu Ci couldn't say anything more and could only nod in agreement.
Under Dugu Liancheng's personal supervision, she started sewing that night.
In fact, there were only a few threads that were damaged, and her needlework was not that good. It was impossible for her to sew the same as before, so she had to do her best.
She was tired from sewing. When she looked up, she met Dugu Liancheng's smiling eyes. She lightly curled her lips and said, "I'm very happy that you are tormenting me like this, aren't you?"
Emperor, what kind of bad taste is this?
The Clothing Bureau alone has many embroiderers with outstanding embroidery skills, but Dugu Liancheng wants her to sew robes, which is unkind.
"I think you have the potential to be a good wife and mother, but it's a pity that you are destined to never be a good wife and mother in this life." Dugu Liancheng maliciously poked at Mu Ci's sore spot.
She lost her husband, committed herself to him, and couldn't have children. Isn't she a pathetic person?
If she had a good attitude, he wouldn't say such heartbreaking words, but it's because she doesn't know what's good and what's wrong, and she always makes him angry.
He asked her to sew clothes, but she actually felt that he was tormenting her. Does she know how many women want this honor?
"That's not true, things are unpredictable." Mu Ci couldn't help but retaliate.
He didn't want to show off his rhetoric, but Dugu Liancheng was too vicious. She couldn't be a good wife and mother? How could he be so sure that she would grow old and die in this harem?
"What do you mean by that?" Dugu Liancheng frowned coldly.
Does she still want to remarry or find another man? Or, does she just want to have children for him?
"The Ai family is tired, we will do this today." After Mu Ci finished speaking, he threw down Dugu Liancheng's robe.
Dugu Liancheng looked at her arrogant look and sneered: "Okay, I've always indulged you. If you don't help me sew my robe, then you can sleep with me!"
Mu Ci wanted to say that she would not go to bed, but how could she have any room to say anything?
In the end, he struggled to no avail and ended up being bullied by Dugu Liancheng.
The next day, Dugu Liancheng almost missed the morning court again. But he put the blame on Mu Ci, dragged her up from the couch, and ordered her to help him change clothes.
Mu Ci fought back his sleepiness, finally dismissed Dugu Liancheng, and went back to sleep.
She didn't know how long she slept. When she woke up naturally, she still felt that she didn't have enough sleep, so she simply continued to sleep.
It wasn't until lunch time that she slowly got up.
"Empress..." Sizhu hesitated to speak.
Mu Ci was having a meal, her appetite was average, and her face was not very good. Seeing that Sizhu was silent, she looked up.
"If you have anything to say, just say it." Mu Ci said and took a sip of soup.
