"What can happen to me? It's just that you are too thin. I hope you eat more and gain weight." Dugu Liancheng said, but the movement of holding the vegetables was a little slower.
When Mu Ci saw this detail, the corners of his lips curved slightly: "A wise man doesn't speak secretly. You clearly have something to say."
Dugu Liancheng looked at Mu Ci intently for a while and then said: "Sometimes I would rather you be dumber. A woman who is too smart can be tiring sometimes."
Mu Ci raised his chin lightly: "It's flattering to say that the Ai family is the emperor."
Hearing that she called herself Aijia, Dugu Liancheng was unusually lifeless this time.
After calming down, he finally asked: "I asked Concubine Shu to be grounded in Xihua Palace without severe punishment. What do you want to say?"
It turns out that the emperor committed a crime and was guilty of the same crime as the common people. Muxue was also one of the murderers. Such a woman should have the same fate as the virtuous concubine and the virtuous concubine.
but……
"You have your difficulties, I know. The time to deal with Mu Zhi and his daughter has not yet come. Keeping Concubine Shu first can stabilize Mu Da. If I were in your position, I would make the same decision.
"Mu Ci replied softly.
If Dugu Liancheng rashly dealt with Muxue, it would not be in line with the thoughts of an emperor.
The harem is not only a battlefield for women, it is also an important place for the emperor to control his ministers.
"You..." Dugu Liancheng looked at Mu Ci with complicated eyes.
He knew that she could screw things up, but he was still touched by her straightforward words.
"Let's have a meal, otherwise the food will get cold." Mu Ci tried to drop the topic.
Dugu Liancheng looked at Mu Ci for a while and suddenly asked, "What do you want?"
Mu Ci paused while holding the dish. She didn't expect that the emperor actually asked the same question again.
Does he feel guilty for her and want to make it up to her?
But what about that? As an emperor, of course he puts his world first. She is a harem woman, so he has no reason to care about her feelings.
Could it be that he had feelings for her?
This idea flashed away and was immediately rejected by her.
Dugu Liancheng will definitely not be sentimental towards her. How can she know what kind of temper he is? Women are just pawns that can be used by him. Maybe she has some value before he cares about her feelings.
?
"Not yet. I'll tell you when I think about it." Mu Ci smiled back at Dugu Liancheng.
Seeing her smile, Dugu Liancheng Mo Ming breathed a sigh of relief.
Soon he felt that his reaction was strange. Why should he act based on Mu Ci's face? Whether she was happy or not, that was all her business, what did it have to do with him?
But he didn't even notice that after Mu Ci smiled, the corners of his lips also rose...
After Mu Xue returned to Xihua Palace, she still felt lingering fear.
At that time, she thought that like Zhao Ling, she would be deprived of her title, especially after her father was thrown out of Yanfu Palace by Mu Ci, she was already desperate.
Who would have thought that the emperor, who had punished everyone, showed mercy to her and allowed her to return to Xihua Palace unscathed, but only restrained her feet.
No wonder Zhao Linglin was still complaining and calling it unfair when he was escorted out of Yanfu Palace.
Everyone was punished, but she was the only one who was safe and sound. Even she herself found it incredible.
Lan Xin came back to her senses after returning to Xihua Palace, patted her chest and said: "It seems that the emperor treats the empress differently. When such a thing happened, the emperor did not punish the empress."
"Yes, I also find it incredible." Muxue said softly.
But she couldn't figure out what the emperor meant.
At first, she thought it was them who dealt with Mu Ci and asked the emperor to pursue the matter to the end. Now it seems that she may have overthought it, because Bi Qiao died in vain, so the emperor went to war.
Originally they thought things would be easier to do if there were more people.
Because there are many people, it is easier to get rid of Mu Ci. After all, everyone is in the same boat. The attempt to frame Mu Ci can only succeed but not fail.
Looking back now, it is precisely because there were too many people that things went wrong. Mu Ci followed the clues and easily caught everyone and caught them all.
She was the only one among everyone who slipped through the net, and I was afraid that Mu Ci would not let her go easily in the future.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. The Emperor only cares about you. As long as the Emperor protects you, everything will be fine. In this harem, nothing else matters. What matters is whether the Emperor cares about you. You can tell by looking at Concubine De and Concubine Xian.
The emperor did not miss the old love, and both of them were deprived of their titles. Only the empress escaped unscathed, which shows that the empress is the one who is the most important to the emperor."
Lan Xin's eyebrows were dancing with joy, and she couldn't hide the joy on her face.
Mu Xue was moved by what she said. She was not sure before. After all, there are three thousand people in the harem, and there are those who are more beautiful than her, and there are those who are more talented and talented. What's more, there is also Mu Ci who is deeply loved by the emperor.
In this case, how dare she ask for help?
But after this battle, she suddenly felt that Lan Xin's words made sense. If the emperor didn't care about her, how could he be so tolerant to her? After all, every crime she committed was a major crime against the nine tribes.
Only if the emperor cares about her can he forgive her sins.
Her father's power is no longer what it used to be, and the emperor doesn't need to worry about his father as much as before. So the most fundamental reason is that the emperor cares about her as a person.
Thinking of this, her mind settled.
I believe that this ban will not last long. It's just a pity that with the combined efforts of so many of them, they failed to defeat Mu Ci, but instead lost so many concubines.
Zhao Ling and Hua Shang were both relegated to the cold palace, and she was banned. Now no one in the harem is Mu Ci's opponent.
As the days passed, the child in Mu Ci's belly was getting bigger and bigger. By the time she could walk out of Xihua Palace, Mu Ci's pregnancy would be stable.
Muxue's heart, which had been calm just now, sank again.
She really hoped that there would be an opponent in the harem who could control Mu Ci's limelight, but even Zhao Ling was dealt with by Mu Ci, and she really couldn't think of anyone else who could get rid of the piece of flesh in Mu Ci's belly.
Mu Xue was filled with emotion, but Shen Manyun was very grateful for An Rong's advice at that time. Otherwise, she might have been thrown into the cold palace like Zhao Ling and Hua Shang.
She and Muxue had the same worries.
Zhao Ling has been relegated to the cold palace. Now the harem is full of rabble, and no one can stand up to the stage. How can these people be Mu Ci's opponents, let alone eradicate Mu Ci, or get rid of the dragon in Mu Ci's belly?
kind.
She mentioned this matter to An Rong, but An Rong just said to let nature take its course. If Mu Ci really wanted to give birth, they would not be able to stop it.
For now, we can only wait and see what happens.
Shen Manyun is a little disheartened about the current situation in the harem.
She was really bored, so she went to find An Rong to relieve her boredom. Unknowingly, she mentioned Mu Ci again.
This time An Rong did not scold her, but followed her words and said: "At present, the Queen Mother is unique and no one is her opponent. But..."
