Chapter 41: The Empress Dowager is actually a long-term lover
"The Empress Dowager has worked very hard to pray for the late Emperor and Your Majesty. The Emperor ordered his servants to ask Yanfu Palace for a brief explanation. At present, the Emperor is reviewing the memorial in Yanfu Palace and waiting for the Queen Mother to arrive." Li Yu said respectfully.
"The Ai family just returned to the palace. I'm a little tired and need to rest." After Mu Ci finished speaking, he left Li Yu and went into the inner hall to rest.
Yingchun and Sizhu hurriedly followed, feeling that the empress was domineering. Even though Li Yu was a celebrity around the emperor, the empress did not pretend to be polite.
Two hours later, Yingchun returned to Mu Ci and said, "My dear, Eunuch Li is still waiting outside."
"After all, he is a person trained by the emperor, and he has enough patience." Mu Ci said, throwing away the book in his hand, "That's all, the Ai family will go with him."
"My Majesty, I can't do it. It's too dangerous for your Majesty to go alone. If the Emperor wants to do harm to your Majesty, wouldn't it mean that the sky will not respond and the earth will not work?" Sizhu hurriedly stopped him.
Mu Ci smiled: "Even if the emperor wants to deal with the Ai family, it is impossible to use lynching. Don't worry, the emperor will not attack the Ai family for the time being."
She was the widow of the late emperor, and Dugu Liancheng had just ascended the throne. It was impossible for him to deal with him blatantly at this time, and Dugu Liancheng's methods were not so despicable.
He had thousands of ways to deal with her, and every method was better than killing her directly.
Sizhu knew that she was of a low profile and that the emperor could not always stop him if he wanted to see someone. In the end, she accompanied her master to Yanfu Palace.
After Dugu Lianyun passed away, this was Mu Ci's first visit to Yanfu Palace.
She slowed down when she saw the ginkgo tree planted by herself in the flower garden.
As winter is approaching, the ginkgo leaves have almost fallen off, leaving only the dead branches, and the beautiful scenery is no longer there.
No matter how beautiful the scenery is, it cannot survive the bleak winter, and ultimately ends in ruin.
"I never thought that the Queen Mother would be a long-term lover." Dugu Liancheng's voice suddenly sounded behind Mu Ci.
Mu Ci turned back, his eyes were misty and a little confused.
It took her a while to find her voice: "The emperor thinks too much. The Ai family is neither long-term nor infatuated."
She missed the late emperor, but she was grateful for his kindness to her.
Dugu Liancheng thought to himself that even though there were many things about this girl that made him dislike her, she was more sincere. For a person like her who was good at acting, it would be a fool's dream to really fall in love with a certain man.
Judging from Mu Ci's behavior after the death of her imperial brother, she was cold-blooded.
As she said, she married the emperor's brother just because he could bring her glory and wealth.
"The Queen Mother is invited to come here today. I need the Queen Mother's help with something. Come with me to Nuange." Dugu Liancheng said and led the way.
Mu Ci followed him, somewhat unmotivated.
When Dugu Liancheng turned around, he saw her walking with her head hanging down.
At this glance, this woman looks like a child who has not grown up...
Thinking of this, he knitted his brows and suddenly remembered that this woman was very cunning and her acting was always good. She acted like anything, and he almost fell into her trap again.
"Hurry up!" Dugu Liancheng suddenly shouted.
Mu Ci was startled, quickened his pace, and headed towards Nuange.
On the way, I happened to meet a beautiful woman wearing a plain dress. The other party was a little surprised when he saw her.
She slowed down and said, "Xiang Cairen!"
This woman is none other than Xiang Ling.
She was wearing a crescent white high-cut underskirt today, and the style looked familiar. She suddenly remembered that she had also worn the same style of underskirt.
Not to mention the clothes, even the headdress is very simple.
