When Zhao Ling saw this scene, his eyebrows jumped slightly.
Mu Ci refused to leave at the critical moment, which made her a little nervous and her palms became sweaty.
Today's plan can only succeed, not fail, and Mu Ci must not be given a chance to escape this disaster.
Mu Ci stopped and stopped moving forward, so that others could not move forward first.
At this moment, Mu Ci gave the order: "You go to the Flower Appreciation Tower to enjoy the flowers first, and rest at Aijia for a while, and then you will come back."
The others responded one by one and went to the Flower Viewing Tower first.
Zhao Ling and Mu Xue were waiting beside Mu Ci, and they looked very well-behaved.
Mu Ci looked at them, smiled and said, "You two are filial."
"Being filial to your empress is what a concubine should do." Muxue said respectfully.
Zhao Ling also echoed: "Concubine Shu is right, being filial to the empress is the duty that a concubine should do. Only if the empress is good, then I am a concubine."
Mu Ci's smile deepened upon hearing this, and he continued talking to Zhao Ling.
But Biqiao stood uneasy. She was sure that the conspiracy was very close to Mu Ci, but she didn't know when it would happen.
She didn't want to die with Mu Ci at all.
However, although she is the imperial minister, there is no room for her to speak here, just because she is a slave. One day in the future, she will get rid of her status as a slave and step on Mu Ci.
The premise is that she can survive today's disaster.
As time went by, Zhao Ling and Mu Xue gradually lost their patience, because Mu Ci sat for half an hour without any sign of getting up.
Zhao Ling became anxious and made a suggestion: "There are many exotic flowers and plants in the Flower Viewing Building. Would you like to go and take a look, Madam?"
Mu Ci pretended to think for a while and stood up: "Since you are here, let's go and take a look."
Surprise flashed in Zhao Ling's eyes.
As long as you go to the Flower Viewing Tower, you won't have to worry about whether you will fall into the trap or not.
She diligently led the way: "There are stairs here, please walk slowly."
Mu Ci smiled calmly and went up to the flower viewing tower surrounded by everyone.
When she arrived at the flower-viewing building and saw all kinds of exotic flowers and plants fluttering in the wind, as well as a flower shed specially made of flowers in front of her, she fixed her gaze.
The Flower Viewing Tower is a place where a lot of thought has been put into it.
"You have prepared well for this Ten Thousand Flowers Festival." Mu Ci praised him without hesitation and turned to the concubines next to him.
"We didn't hold the Ten Thousand Flower Festival last year. This is the first Ten Thousand Flower Festival since the Emperor ascended the throne. Naturally, we have to hold it properly." This time it was Muxue who answered the question.
Hua Shang also responded.
However, all the flowers are so beautiful, but they can't match Mu Ci's bright face, so this woman deserves to die!
In the midst of the excitement, Sizhu suddenly said to Mu Ci: "Mother, I have a stomachache."
Mu Ci turned to look at Sizhu, and saw that Sizhu's face was twisted, and it looked like she was in severe pain.
She said to Yingchun: "First help Sizhu to find a medical lady for treatment."
When Yingchun heard this, she became anxious: "But the empress needs someone to take care of her..."
"Sizhu's health is urgent. The Ai family will stay here for a while and then leave. You go ahead." Mu Ci interrupted Yingchun.
Yingchun was about to cry: "No, there must be someone by your side to take care of me——"
At this time, Sizhu gasped again, as if the pain was getting worse.
Mu Ci couldn't hide the worry on his face: "This is the Ai family's order, go quickly!"
Yingchun looked at Mu Ci and then at Sizhu. Finally, she still didn't dare to disobey Mu Ci. She helped Sizhu up and left the flower viewing building.
When Hua Shang saw this scene, a look of pride flashed in her eyes.
They had already managed to get rid of Mu Ci's confidants Si Zhu and Yu Rou Ning Xiang, so it would be easier to attack Mu Ci later. However, the emperor actually arranged for Biqiao to serve Mu Ci. This was They didn't expect it.
When necessary, you have to be ruthless, and there can be no mistakes in this plan.
"Empress Dowager, will I accompany you to the flower shed?" Zhao Ling stepped forward and said to Mu Ci.
Mu Ci seemed to be worried about Sizhu's health and looked a little absent-minded. She nodded and said, "Let's go."
"It took several days to build the flower shed. It took a lot of effort." Mu Xue also livened up the atmosphere.
As for the flower shed, many people were already watching inside, and it looked quite spacious.
"If you do a good job at the Ten Thousand Flowers Festival this time, the Ai family will have many kind words in front of the emperor, and everyone will be rewarded." Mu Ci said and went to the flower shed.
Shen Manyun also wanted to go over and watch the fun.
Although she didn't know what kind of trap Zhao Ling and Mu Xue had prepared to deal with Mu Ci, she also understood that if Mu Ci stepped into the trap this time, he would have to shed his skin even if he didn't die.
In her opinion, the flower shed might be a trap.
An Rong seemed to know what she was thinking, holding her arm and shaking her head.
"I'll just take a look from a distance. Why are you holding me back?" Shen Manyun whispered.
"It's better to stay far away. If something happens, people who are close will easily get into trouble. I do it for my sister's own good." An Rong tightened Shen Manyun's arm.
Shen Manyun hesitated for a moment, and finally compromised, because An Rong did it for her own good.
It's a pity that I couldn't see Mu Ci being framed with my own eyes.
Mu Ci stopped in front of the flower shed and stood outside to take a closer look. He nodded while admiring: "It's really good. I put a lot of thought into it. It looks great."
"There's more artistic conception inside, please, Madam." Zhao Ling led the way.
"Okay." Mu Ci agreed and entered the flower shed.
Zhao Ling was secretly happy when he saw this. At this moment, Mu Ci slowed down again and looked back at Mu Xue and Hua Chang: "Why don't you two come in?"
"I have already seen Concubine Chen and Concubine Xian, and I plan to go to another place to see it again." The person who answered was Muxue.
Mu Ci smiled when he heard this: "You can watch it again after you've seen it. It's crowded, so let's come in together."
Mu Xue and Huashang looked at each other, and finally followed Mu Ci into the flower shed, but they both fell behind Mu Ci, always three feet apart.
Mu Ci moved forward with the support of Bi Qiao. When Bi Qiao recovered, she found that Zhao Ling was already a foot away from her and Mu Ci.
Suddenly she had a flash of inspiration and looked back, only to see Mu Xue and Hua Chang half a foot away from Mu Ci.
A warning bell sounded in her heart, and she was about to step back and stay away from Mu Ci.
It's a pity that it was too late. The floor tiles on the tower suddenly fell into pieces. Biqiao turned pale with fright. She wanted to stand firm, but she couldn't.
At this time, a force suddenly appeared above the flower shed, and it was actually a soft and fragrant condensation.
The two of them picked up Mu Ci at the same time. Bi Qiao knew that something was wrong, but she viciously wanted to drag Mu Ci to die together.
In a hurry, she wanted to grab Mu Ci's right foot, but Mu Ci stepped on top of her head instead, using his strength to get further away from her in an instant.
Bi Qiao just followed the bricks falling from the tower. Her eyes were filled with anger. She met Mu Ci's beautiful eyes with a cold smile, and finally understood that Mu Ci actually wanted to kill her...
