Dugu Liancheng did not agree immediately, but looked at Mallow: "Are you tired from walking?"
Mallow returned to Dugu Liancheng with a beautiful smile: "One o'clock, please accompany the emperor to rest here for a while, and then go to the garden?"
Mu Ci is also there, and it is just the right time to respond to each other and to respond to Mu Ci.
Now that she has reached this point, Mu Ci will be her enemy from now on. It has only been more than a month, but she still has not had the chance to climb onto the emperor's dragon bed, which makes her a little anxious.
Qing Le kept asking her about the progress here. She didn't dare to lie, but she also knew that she had to become the emperor's woman as soon as possible, otherwise Qing Le would not be able to explain to her, and she would not be protected.
Mallow's goal is simple.
One is to become the emperor's woman, and the other is to alienate the relationship between the emperor and Mu Ci, driving them further and further apart. Only in this way can she remain invincible.
She is not willing to be restrained by Qing Le all the time. The only way out is to become stronger.
The prerequisite for becoming stronger is to get rid of Mu Ci, a powerful opponent.
When Dugu Liancheng heard what Mallow said, he decided to find a seat and sit down.
Mu Ci watched the play for a while and found it uninteresting, so he simply got up.
Sizhu was very polite and answered immediately: "Didn't your Majesty say you want to see the sea of flowers? I will accompany you to enjoy the flowers."
Mu Ci patted her hand lightly, feeling that this girl was really a tailor-made palace maid for her, and she had a clear connection with her.
"Then let's go over and have a look." Mu Ci said, accompanied by Sizhu and other palace people, he walked away without looking away.
The corner of Dugu Liancheng's eye glanced at Mu Ci's figure, and finally settled on her flying skirt, until the touch of cyan disappeared from his field of vision.
As soon as Mu Ci left, the place suddenly became colder. It was clear that the sky was sunny just now, but now everyone felt a little cold.
Mu Xue quietly looked at Dugu Liancheng, only to see that his thin lips were pursed tightly, and he showed no emotion.
Even so, she also knew that if the emperor was happy, he would never be like this.
Is Mu Ci still causing trouble? The emperor is unhappy because Mu Ci is gone?
Muxue's eyes were fixed on Mallow's face. This face looked very beautiful and comfortable. In addition, Mallow had a scholarly atmosphere, which was a trait that many women in the harem did not have.
The emperor treats Mallow differently, but she can understand.
But upon closer inspection, I felt that the relationship between the emperor and Mallow was not as close as imagined. It was as if the emperor had not even held her hand during the day.
This thought seems to be reasonable. The emperor has never been a loving man. It would be ridiculous for him to behave frivolously and rudely towards a woman in public.
In this way, all the doubts in her heart disappeared, and she only knew that the emperor was such a cold man.
Seeing how thoughtfully and considerately Makui served the emperor, we knew that Mallow had some abilities.
When Wu Meiren saw Mu Ci walking away, she actually wanted to follow him. However, the Emperor was here, and she did not have the status and power of the Queen Mother, so she did not dare to do anything extraordinary.
Just when she was distracted, Hong Jiao gently pulled her sleeve.
She didn't understand what was going on, and then the emperor shouted loudly: "Wu Meiren, I'm talking to you, how dare you ignore me?!"
Wu Meiren's face turned pale and she hurriedly knelt down: "I don't dare, I know it's wrong!"
"Don't you dare?!" Dugu Liancheng looked at Wu Meiren coldly.
Wu Meiren complained endlessly and did not dare to quibble anymore this time. She knelt down on the ground and thought to herself why she was so unlucky? She just walked away for a while to regain her consciousness, and then the emperor caught her pigtails.
"Drag him down and beat him to death with sticks!" Dugu Liancheng's next order made everyone present break into a cold sweat.
Wu Meiren was even more frightened. She forgot about her propriety and looked at the emperor in front of her in disbelief. Is her life going to be decided here today?
Hong Jiao saw that something was wrong with the situation and that the emperor's attention was not on her, so she quietly stepped back a few steps. Only when she was at the very back and the emperor didn't look at her did she dare to leave quietly.
Before Mu Ci had gone far, Hong Jiao caught up with Mu Ci and immediately knelt down in front of Mu Ci and said, "Please save our master!"
Mu Ci hurriedly helped Hongqiao up and asked, "What's wrong?"
Hong Jiao recounted what had just happened: "The emperor suddenly lost his temper, and the master suffered a disaster. The emperor also said that he would beat the master to death with a stick."
As she talked, she burst into tears.
When Mu Ci heard this, he knew it was serious.
Wu Meiren usually kept a low profile. Even if the emperor was distracted when talking to Wu Meiren just now, he would not directly beat the person to death.
It was just the emperor making excuses, and it was probably because she had annoyed the emperor. The emperor vented his anger on Wu Meiren, because the emperor knew that Wu Meiren had a relationship with her.
When she rushed back to the original place, she saw that Wu Meiren was about to be dragged down.
As soon as Wu Meiren saw Mu Ci, she raised her voice and begged for mercy: "Empress Dowager, please save me, I didn't do it on purpose, empress..."
She knew that she couldn't let outsiders know that Mu Ci treated her differently, otherwise her life would only become more and more difficult in the future. It would be a different matter if she opened her mouth instead of Mu Ci taking the initiative to save her.
Mu Ci also knew Wu Meiren's scruples, and was very satisfied with Wu Meiren's reaction speed. She went to sit on the empty seat next to the emperor and said softly: "The weather is hot, and the emperor is also very angry."
If human lives are taken at every turn, does the emperor want to be a tyrant?
Dugu Liancheng didn't even look at Mu Ci, obviously he didn't want to talk to Mu Ci.
Mu Ci wondered if it would be possible to bring the emperor a cup of fire-reducing tea from Mallow to calm down the emperor's anger.
But having learned from the past, she felt it was better not to involve Mallow in this matter.
"Although Wu Meiren is wrong, her crime will not lead to death. Let's do this. If the Aijia can be a peacemaker, the emperor will exempt Wu Meiren from the death penalty, but it will be hard to forgive Wu Meiren. He will let Wu Meiren go to the Yong'an Palace of the Aijia to be a rough emissary.
How about living for a month?" Mu Ci gave Dugu Liancheng an idea.
Dugu Liancheng's expression did not change, he was still cold and cold.
Seeing this, Mu Ci simply said: "I checked the almanac before Aijia went out today. Today is not a good day for killing and bloodshed. Even if I have to punish Wu Meiren, I should find a better day to avoid offending the emperor. What does the emperor think?"
She tried her best to be nice, but the emperor looked at her as if she was farting.
Seeing that Dugu Liancheng was unmoved, Mu Ci turned to Li Yu and said, "Li Yu, how do you serve the emperor? In such a hot day, don't you know how to make the emperor feel more comfortable and refreshed?"
Li Yu was pretending to be Zhu Zi. When Mu Ci called his name, he didn't dare to neglect, "What the empress said is that the slave did not serve me well."
"It's not just you who didn't serve you well, Mallow will also be punished."
