When Dugu Liancheng learned that Mu Ci was safe, he felt at peace and focused on government affairs.
In the evening, Mu Ci was reading a medical book. When she heard the noise outside, she knew that Dugu Liancheng was coming.
She threw away the medical book in a hurry and quickly lay down to rest.
When Dugu Liancheng entered, he was a little surprised: "Have you rested so early?"
When Sizhu came in, he also felt strange.
The empress just asked her to find some medical books, why did she fall asleep in the blink of an eye?
Thinking again of yesterday, in order to avoid going to bed, the empress lied that she was unwell. Today, I am afraid that I heard the emperor coming, and the empress is pretending to sleep at the moment.
"Probably the empress learned from medical books that going to bed early and getting up early is good for the body, so she rested early." Sizhu casually found an excuse for the empress.
"If she feels any physical discomfort in the future, please tell me as soon as possible." When Dugu Liancheng spoke, he deliberately lowered his voice.
Of course Mu Ci didn't fall asleep so quickly.
She recalled the conversation she heard in Yanfu Palace. At that time, Jin Kui asked Dugu Liancheng if he liked her. She left without hearing the answer. Naturally, she didn't know how Dugu Liancheng answered.
At this moment, she still hopes that he only has possessiveness and control over her, which is not love.
"Yes, Your Majesty." After Sizhu returned, he quietly looked at the Emperor.
At this time, the emperor was sitting beside the couch. Perhaps the light was too warm, which made his face warm. Even the warm affection in his eyes could not be blocked.
While she was looking at it intently, the emperor suddenly turned his eyes, startling her.
"My slave, please leave." Sizhu did not dare to stay any longer. He bowed and left the inner room.
Dugu Liancheng looked at Mu Ci's face and saw that her nose was pretty, so he pinched her nose. Later, he thought her mouth was pretty, so he simply kissed her on the lips.
"Your face smells delicious..." Dugu Liancheng couldn't help but kiss Mu Ci's face again.
Mu Ci couldn't hold it back and fluttered her eyelashes.
Dugu Liancheng happened to see this detail. He frowned and looked at Mu Ci, "Are you pretending to sleep?!"
Mu Ci couldn't hide it anymore, so he opened his eyes: "I was asleep, but you woke me up."
She glanced left and right, but did not look at Dugu Liancheng.
Dugu Liancheng also noticed something was wrong. He frowned for a while and then said, "What bad thing have you done? Why don't you dare to look at me?"
How could a woman like Mu Ci, who was not afraid of heaven or earth, dare not look at him sometimes? There must be something going on.
Mu Ci was just afraid of embarrassment, so she replied quietly: "You are overthinking."
Just the thought that Dugu Liancheng might have feelings for her made her feel very uncomfortable. She would rather not know what he was thinking, that would be more calm.
They agreed that she would use her body in exchange for his power, and they also agreed that they would only get what each other needed.
After they have finished using each other, they will no longer owe each other anything.
Games should have rules. Once the rules are broken, everything will no longer be so pure.
"You haven't looked at me yet." Dugu Liancheng repeated again.
There must be something wrong with this woman!
Mu Ci was extremely helpless. She prepared herself mentally before looking at Dugu Liancheng.
But after just one glance, I felt awkward and looked away again.
"Tell me, is there something you want to ask me for that makes you feel guilty? If you show weakness once in a while, I won't laugh at you. Just say it and I will support you." Dugu Liancheng coaxed the child.
Mu Ci sneered in his heart.
How big does he think his face is?
"You are thinking too much, I just don't want to see your face." Mu Ci replied maliciously.
Dugu Liancheng half-squinted his eyes, "You say it again?"
Does this woman know how disgusting her vicious mouth is?
"You asked me to say it. I said, I don't want to see your face so I don't look at you!" Mu Ci said without fear.
Dugu Liancheng's face instantly darkened: "Do you think I want to see this face of yours?!"
"Since I don't want to see you and you don't want to see me, why don't you get out?" Mu Ci issued an eviction order.
Dugu Liancheng can get away if he wants to—
No, why should he get out? The harem is his place. He can stay or leave if he wants. Why should he be led by this woman?
He took a deep breath and told himself there was no need to be angry.
"I am not serious about women with long hair and short knowledge!" Dugu Liancheng showed off his emperor's airs and ordered in a cold voice: "Get in, I will favor you!"
Mu Ci sat stiffly in his position, not moving. Dugu Liancheng simply pushed the person down and bullied him...
Sizhu waited outside, sweating for her master.
The empress really didn't want to think about the emperor's identity, but she dared to tell the emperor to go away. Fortunately, the emperor cared about the empress and even tolerated this. It must be said that the emperor's endurance was stronger than she imagined.
When she turned her eyes, she saw Mallow's calm face.
But she thought, Mallow was actually very uneasy, right?
Sizhu's guess was correct. Malkui was in a state of confusion at the moment because she found that the emperor treated Mu Ci very differently.
Although she knew that the emperor cared about Mu Ci, she was not sure how important this concern was.
When Mu Ci was disrespectful to the emperor just now, she actually wanted to watch a good show. No matter what, as an emperor, the emperor was expelled by Mu Ci, and he would lose his temper no matter what, or punish Mu Ci for his crime.
Unfortunately, it was just the opposite. Instead of being angry, the emperor started talking to Mu Ci. Isn't this a disguised form of giving in to Mu Ci and doting on him?
The emperor was very wise when facing state affairs, but when he faced Mu Ci, he seemed like a different person.
Maybe she should find an opportunity to talk to Qing Le and let Qing Le understand that the current situation is not optimistic.
With her plan in mind, she decided to find an opportunity to meet Qing Le the next day.
Qing Le was a resourceful person and soon made an appointment with her near Yuanhe Pavilion.
After hearing what Jin Kui said, Qing Le frowned and asked, "What do you want to express?"
"I have tried several times, but I can't provoke a conflict between the Emperor and the Queen Mother. And according to my observation, the Emperor treats the Queen Mother very differently." Mallow lowered her eyes and replied.
Everything she said was true, but it was too difficult and she couldn't complete the task Qing Le gave her.
"Do you want to retreat from Tang Gu?" Qing Le's eyes grew colder.
She has raised Mallow for so long, is this how Mallow repays her?
"This slave thinks that he is not capable enough to complete the tasks you have given him." Mallow continued.
"There is no one else I can use right now. If you are not capable enough, then think of something. As long as you climb onto the dragon bed, anything is possible. Since I have exposed you, you should also know that the only way is to go to the dragon bed.
Only by climbing up can you find a way out. Otherwise, you will only fall into Mu Ci's hands. In my opinion, you are still too soft-hearted!" Qing Le smiled coldly.
He showed cowardice before he even made a move, he is really worthless.
