Two days later, when Zhao Ling and Jin Qiu were discussing important matters, Yin Qiu was also there.
The two of them didn't shy away from discussing how to deal with Muxue.
Seeing that they didn't shy away, Yinqiu felt calm. She finished pouring tea and water and was about to go out, but Zhao Ling stopped her and asked: "Jinqiu thinks now is the best time to deal with Concubine Shu. What do you think?"
What do you think?"
Yinqiu was a little flattered when Zhao Ling suddenly asked her.
She was silent for a moment and then answered carefully: "I feel that Concubine Shu is not eager to deal with her. The most prosperous person in the harem is definitely not Concubine Shu."
Zhao Ling's eyes lit up, "In your opinion, who is that person?"
How could Yinqiu dare to discuss the affairs of the harem casually? She was so frightened that she knelt down on the ground and did not dare to raise her head: "I just said it casually, and I hope your Majesty will forgive me."
"It doesn't matter if you say so, I won't mind. From now on, you and Jin Qiu will be my most trustworthy people. If you have anything to say, just say it." Zhao Ling said with a smile on his face.
Yinqiu raised her head and met Zhao Ling's clear eyes.
Only then did she dare to tell the truth: "I think the Queen Mother is the most threatening opponent. Not to mention that the Emperor treats the Queen Mother differently, just say that she is pregnant with the dragon heir, and the Emperor did not let the Queen Mother get rid of the dragon heir."
I mean, you should know that the emperor attaches great importance to the Queen Mother's pregnancy. Such an opponent is the most terrifying."
Zhao Ling was silent for a long time, and Yinqiu's eyelids drooped: "This slave is daring. You should not discuss the harem indiscriminately."
Zhao Ling took a deep look at Yinqiu and gave the order to expel the guest: "Just step back."
Watching Yinqiu exit the inner room, Jinqiu whispered: "I think this Yinqiu can be reused. She has some brains."
Zhao Ling said nothing, immersed in his own thoughts.
"Your Majesty, are you still doubting her?" Jin Qiu saw through his master's thoughts.
"Perhaps I am just suspicious. Just now, I suddenly wondered whether Yinqiu could be Concubine Shu, or a spy sent here by the person who once delivered medicine to me." Zhao Ling replied softly.
Jin Qiu was stunned and remembered Yin Qiu's suggestion just now: "It's normal for your Majesty to have such concerns. If you were a slave, I would also be suspicious. Since your Majesty is worried, you should observe Yin Qiu more in the future before making a decision."
Zhao Lingshen thought so.
Since you are not at ease, you still have to observe first.
For now, her biggest worry is that the mantis stalks the cicada, with the oriole behind. If she eradicates Mu Ci, but someone stabs her in the back, wouldn't she be making a wedding dress for someone else?
If the person who plotted against her happened to be Muxue, it would be perfectly normal.
Although Zhao Ling and Jin Qiu both made a unanimous decision, time waits for no one.
Mu Ci did not leave Yong'an Palace all day long, and the child in her belly was growing up day by day. If Mu Ci's fetus was stable, it would be even harder to murder her in the future.
Many things cannot be done urgently by Jin Qiu alone. At least he needs a capable assistant.
**
Old God Mu Ci stayed in Yong'an Palace and rarely went out.
She knew that there were many people staring at her belly, and many people wanted to get rid of her. If she did not leave Yong'an Palace, it would be more difficult for those people to do anything.
She just wanted to see how far the hands of Dugu Liancheng's concubines could stretch.
From day to day, Dugu Liancheng would come to Yong'an Palace every day. Sometimes he would have meals with her, and sometimes he would spend the night in Yong'an Palace. However, he never ordered her to sleep with him again, probably because he was concerned about her belly.
But because of this, Mu Ci felt much less worried and was not as tired as before.
That day, Dugu Liancheng came over to have dinner with her. Halfway through her meal, she felt nauseous and wanted to vomit, so she went to the side and retched.
Dugu Liancheng watched her retching from the side, and even brought a bowl of water to her and asked her to rinse her mouth after she finished retching.
"Do all pregnant women have pregnancy reactions?" Dugu Liancheng asked shamelessly.
"I don't know either." Mu Ci replied.
"Are you feeling better?" Dugu Liancheng patted her on the back: "I don't know if you will give birth to a prince or a princess in the future."
If she were a princess, she would look like Mu Ci, but she would be very good-looking, but it would be better to let her temper be as she is.
Mu Ci didn't know how to answer Dugu Liancheng's words, so he simply closed his mouth and chose to remain silent.
Who is the prince or princess? That is what the other concubines in the harem should worry about.
I wonder who in this harem would be willing to let her give birth to Dugu Liancheng's child? I don't know how many people are trying to kill her right now.
And Zhao Ling, who has returned to the harem, is already thinking about how to deal with her, right?
Next, the harem cannot be too peaceful.
She used to be a spectator.
Now the entire harem is a spectator, and she is the one in the game.
Dugu Liancheng did not continue to discuss this topic after that, which made her sigh in relief.
Before going to bed, Dugu Liancheng took Mu Ci's hand and said, "If Yong'an Palace lacks anything, just tell me, you are mine and you deserve the best."
Mu Ci once again heard Dugu Liancheng say that she was one of his own.
In fact, she also knew that she could treat the emperor as one of her own, and the fact that she mentioned it more than once showed that it was true.
The emperor always protects his own people. In his previous life, wasn't Gu Zhiqing the one the emperor favored?
However, there was no imperial reorganization in the previous life, but later on, the Mu family was defeated and Gu Zhiqing became the prime minister.
This Gu Zhiqing is also an extraordinary person. Not only is he knowledgeable and has excellent character, his appearance is also one of the best in the entire Kyoto.
In the previous dynasty, the emperor was also worried about Gu Zhiqing's marriage. This was purely because the emperor regarded Gu Zhiqing as one of his own.
"I don't need anything here. You always bring me all the good things, so what else is missing?" Mu Ci pursed his lips and smiled.
Even in the previous life, when she and Dugu Liancheng were the best, he never sent any good things to Weiyang Palace.
"I'm always afraid of missing something and wronging you." Dugu Liancheng whispered silently.
Mu Ci heard it this time.
She stared blankly at his profile, wondering whether he was pretending to be confused or was he really confused? Didn't he know that as the Queen Mother, she committed herself to him, which was her greatest grievance?
Or maybe he thinks that because he is the emperor, as long as he waves, women all over the world should happily follow him?
"Why don't you say anything?" Dugu Liancheng turned to look at Mu Ci and met her strange eyes.
She would never know that he had given her all his patience in his life, but she didn't take it to heart.
Mu Ci got into bed and whispered back: "Let's settle it earlier."
She had no grievances. What the emperor gave her was exactly what she wanted. He was the emperor, and with him behind her, she, the queen mother, could be at ease.
In the beginning, she and him were getting what each other needed, so it would be ridiculous to argue about it now.

Emperor Zha has been interested in me for a long time, but I have never had any thoughts about Emperor Zha. This is retaliation.
