"It is not okay for the Emperor to manipulate the Queen Mother like this. If the Queen Mother says whatever she wants, when will the Emperor get what he wants? The Emperor is an emperor, so he should be stronger when it comes to this kind of thing. Besides, most women like to be strong.
Man." Malkui seized the opportunity and wanted to create a conflict between the emperor and Mu Ci.
"Are you sure women like strong men?" Dugu Liancheng's tone was full of uncertainty.
Why does he feel that Mu Ci is just the opposite? If he is strong, she will be stronger than him, and there is nothing he can do against Mu Ci.
Among the majority of women Makui mentioned, Mu Ci was definitely not included.
"Of course, yes. The maids I know all like strong men, and so does I." Mallow nodded vigorously.
There's nothing wrong with what she said. Most women like strong and powerful men like the emperor. Women who don't like strong men are probably not within the normal category. Mu Ci is an abnormal exception.
But she would not tell the truth to the emperor.
"She is not a palace maid, but a queen mother. How is your vision comparable to Mu Ci's? So what you said is not suitable for her." When Dugu Liancheng heard what Jin Kui said, he did not comment.
How can the style of a palace maid be compared with that of Mu Ci, who is the Queen Mother? Isn't this the same as comparing a finger and an arm? They are not of the same grade and there is no comparability.
Jin Kui didn't expect that her words would be revealed by the emperor in just a few words. What the emperor meant in and out of words was that Mu Ci was different from the other women and was a unique existence, so the same tricks used by other women were applied to Mu Ci.
Not suitable either.
She was speechless for a moment.
Anyway, she heard that in the emperor's opinion, other women were not on the same level as Mu Ci.
One thing is obvious, the emperor's heart is biased towards Mu Ci. Whatever Mu Ci does is right, no matter what shortcomings Mu Ci has, they can be turned into advantages in the eyes of the emperor.
Even if Mu Ci is disrespectful to the emperor, the emperor still thinks that Mu Ci has personality.
The emperor is too partial to Mu Ci, how can she sow discord?
"Do you also think what I said is reasonable?" Dugu Liancheng said with a rather proud tone when he saw Mallow's silence.
Mallow thought that the emperor's reasoning didn't make sense, but she couldn't tell the truth, so she could only lower her eyes and answer: "That's what the emperor said."
"Then do you have other more practical methods?" Dugu Liancheng asked immediately.
Mallow sneered: "I haven't thought of it yet. Why don't the emperor put this matter aside for the time being? Maybe we can talk to the Queen Mother again. We can't wrong the Queen Mother, right?"
Although she has only been waiting in front of the emperor for a short time, there is no need to be too anxious.
But there was one thing she understood very clearly. She must never say anything wrong about Mu Ci's words, otherwise the emperor would be unhappy.
Therefore, not only did she have to make the emperor happy, but she also had to not say anything bad about Mu Ci, but she also had to provoke conflicts between the emperor and Mu Ci, and she also had to make the emperor interested in her.
How could she have such ability?
Qing Le thought too highly of her. If it were an ordinary task, she would probably be able to complete it successfully. However, since she came to serve in front of the emperor, she felt increasingly powerless.
Especially when the opponent she faced was a woman like Mu Ci.
"What you said makes sense. I ignored her wishes and forced her to follow me, which made her suffer a lot..."
Mu Ci was standing not far away. She had no intention of eavesdropping, but she turned back due to something else. Unexpectedly, she overheard the conversation between the emperor and Mallow.
At first, she just felt that it was not good for her to go in rashly and wanted to wait for them to finish talking. She did not expect to hear the emperor say such a thing.
"The emperor likes the empress very much, right?" At this time, Mallow's voice came from inside again.
Mu Ci was stunned for some reason, but for some reason she turned around and left.
When she passed by Li Yu, she whispered: "Tell the emperor that the Ai family has something to return to Yong'an Palace. Also, don't tell him about the Ai family coming to see him."
Li Yu looked confused: "What's wrong with you?"
He could tell that something was wrong with the empress's expression.
"The Ai family just remembered that they had something to deal with, so they went back first." After Mu Ci finished speaking, he took Sizhu and Jirou and left Yanfu Palace in a hurry.
On the way back to Yong'an Palace, Sizhu noticed that Mu Ci was unusually quiet.
"Is your Majesty worried?" Sizhu asked curiously.
She only knew that the empress went to Nuange to find the emperor, and later she came back, looking a little strange.
She had never seen such a complicated expression on the empress's face. She said she was sad, but it didn't look like it. If she said she was happy, it was even less likely.
After all, she couldn't figure out what went wrong.
Mu Ci looked at the majestic palace in the dark night, feeling as if a heavy mountain was weighing on his heart.
She no longer expected to have any sincerity in the harem, and she had no idea about the emperor.
Maybe it was because I was not prepared at all that I received a big impact?
Of course, this kind of emotion is not touching, it's just that it's too complicated. When you have no expectations for a person, and when you first hear that the person actually cares about you, that's your point of conflict.
She once loved Dugu Liancheng with all her heart, but then with her death, nothing was left.
After she was reborn, the emperor who had only used and deceived her actually had strange feelings for her, which made her feel ironic.
"It's nothing, I'm just tired." Mu Ci closed his eyes and stopped thinking about Dugu Liancheng.
Seeing this, Si Zhu didn't know what to say.
The empress must have had something happen with the emperor, otherwise she wouldn't have become so strange.
But after returning to Yong'an Palace, the empress fell asleep and it seemed that the previous entanglement had long since disappeared, which made her even more confused.
However, in the evening, when the Yong'an Palace came again to ask the empress to sleep with her, the empress refused for the first time, lying that she was not in good spirits and fell asleep.
Li Yu didn't see Mu Ci and was blocked by Sizhu.
"Your Majesty, have you rested so early?" Li Yu didn't quite believe Sizhu's story.
"Your Majesty, I didn't take a nap. I had a headache so I went to bed early." Sizhu replied sternly.
Li Yu saw that Sizhu didn't seem to be joking, so he returned to Yanfu Palace to resume his life.
"Did she rest at this hour?" Dugu Liancheng was a little surprised.
"Your Majesty is feeling a little unwell, and since she didn't take a nap, it's normal to take a rest early." Li Yu helped with an idea: "If your Majesty really misses your Majesty, why don't you drive to Yong'an Palace?"
"She's resting, what should I do?" Dugu Liancheng thought for a while: "If she is still feeling unwell tomorrow, let Dr. Zhang go and see her."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Yu responded.
After Dugu Liancheng went to court the next day, Li Yu conveyed Mu Ci's situation. He heard that Mu Ci had recovered after taking a nap, and there was nothing serious, so there was no need to see an imperial doctor.
