"You are quite loyal." Mu Ci couldn't help but sigh.
Dugu Liancheng finally had a palace maid who really cared about him, and Biyu had a calm temperament. It was a blessing for the emperor to have such a person at his side.
"A servant is a servant of the emperor. It is my duty to be loyal to my master. I am over-honored." Biyu replied in a neither humble nor overbearing tone.
Mu Ci laughed, unable to find fault with her words.
She chatted with Biyu for a while, and then ordered Sizhu to send Biyu away.
When Sizhu came back, Mu Ci was reading medical books, but in fact, his mind was not on the medical books.
"With Biyu helping you, it will be much easier to find fault with Mallow." Sizhu broke the silence.
"Qing Le has approached Makui, and must have put pressure on Makui. In addition, Makui herself is also ambitious, and she must be planning to attack the emperor recently." Mu Ci said softly.
Even Biyu saw the clue, so she knew that Mallow's ambition could not be concealed.
In the past, Malvai was not so eager. After all, people are creatures with desires. The more things they get, the more ambitious they become. Isn't Malvai now on this path of no return?
She has been waiting for Kui Jin to take action. She was ignored by the emperor a few days ago, but she thought this was an opportunity to make Kui Jin and Qing Le relax their vigilance.
Now that the emperor and her had settled their differences, Qingle couldn't sit still and wanted to use Malkui's hand to get rid of her.
At night, Dugu Liancheng came uninvited.
His expression was cold, but when he saw Mu Ci, his serious expression was replaced by warmth, and his dark jade-like eyes were also stained with a smile.
Mallow was close and saw the change in the emperor's expression, and complex emotions surged into her heart.
It's as if something that should belong to you has suddenly been taken away.
She was also unsure of her thoughts towards the emperor. She had always known that the emperor could not have her in his heart, and she also felt that those concubines who wanted to gain the emperor's care were overestimating their own abilities.
But she had served the emperor for a long time, and the emperor had a cold war with Mu Ci, but he kept her by his side all the time, which gave her the illusion that she was really someone the emperor cared about.
She seemed to be unable to distinguish between reality and fantasy, and sometimes she even thought that she was really the person the emperor held dear to his heart.
She didn't care about the emperor, but the vanity that her high position and power brought her.
At this moment, seeing the emperor showing such different feelings towards Mu Ci, she had indescribable complex feelings in her heart.
Mu Ci raised his eyes and saw something strange about Mallow.
In a rare moment of gentleness and ease, she stepped forward to greet him: "Are you here?"
As she spoke, her soft jade palm could be placed in Dugu Liancheng's palm.
Dugu Liancheng gently squeezed her jade hand and gently rubbed it, his eyes were shining with dazzling colors.
Then the two of them entered the inner room and had another passionate moment of affection.
Mallow was standing outside. When she heard the movement inside, her face turned red and her heartbeat became a little erratic. She couldn't help but prick up her ears and eavesdrop. She didn't know what kind of strange psychology it was because of it.
If the woman in bed were her, would the emperor also hold her in his heart?
Just when she was lost in thought, the emperor's voice suddenly came into her ears: "Mu Ci, give birth to a child for me..."
At this moment, Mallow thought she was hearing hallucinations, and the blood in her body froze into ice.
Even Mu Ci thought she was hearing hallucinations. She pushed Dugu Liancheng away and frowned, "What did you just say?"
Maybe she got it wrong?
Also, his tone just now was still so natural?
The relationship between her and him was just to get what each other needed, and she thought the emperor had the same thoughts as her. Furthermore, as the queen mother, she gave him, the emperor, a child. Isn't that ridiculous and generous?
"It would be nice to give me a baby, a girl like you." Dugu Liancheng tapped Mu Ci's nose: "Of course, I would also like it if I could give birth to a prince like me."
Mu Ci: "..."
"Why don't you say anything? You feel wronged for giving birth to my child?" Dugu Liancheng pinched Mu Ci's chin and forced her to face him.
Mu Ci snorted softly, unwilling to speak.
Giving him a child would be an illegitimate child. Of course she would be wronged, and so would her child.
If he really needs children, she won't be happy to find another concubine.
Mu Ci didn't say anything, and Dugu Liancheng also knew what kind of wishful thinking she had in mind.
"Originally, I don't have to ask you to give birth to a child. However, a fortune teller said that only you can successfully give birth to my child, so I can only wrong myself." Dugu Liancheng seemed helpless.
Mu Ci gave him a fake smile.
He just lied to other people about this kind of nonsense, she wouldn't believe it.
Right now, she just wanted to get over this topic quickly.
"If you don't refute, I will treat you as agreeing. Continue with the matter of having children..."
After Dugu Liancheng finished speaking, he knocked Mu Ci down again...
Malkui, who was waiting outside, pricked up her ears and overheard the conversation between the two, and her thoughts became more complicated. She had been looking for opportunities these days, but unfortunately the emperor came to Mu Ci every day.
She could never find a chance to be alone with the emperor.
Only when there is no one around the emperor can she have a chance to take action, right?
But now, the emperor has already considered letting Mu Ci give birth to a prince, which shows that Mu Ci's position in the emperor's heart is getting more and more important.
She had to make a quick decision, not only giving herself an explanation, but also giving Qing Le an explanation.
The next day, when Dugu Liancheng went to court early in the morning, Mu Ci suddenly grabbed him and said, "The weather is getting hotter, and I want to go to the summer resort to stay for a while."
Dugu Liancheng didn't expect that Mu Ci would make a request to him, so he was so happy that he agreed without saying a word.
It wasn't until he went to court that he felt something was wrong.
He has been busy with politics recently, so he doesn't have much time to go out and play. When Mu resigned from the summer resort, he couldn't accompany her.
He wouldn't worry if she went to the summer resort alone.
Is there a way to get the best of both worlds?
When reviewing the memorial, Dugu Liancheng felt that this was not a difficult task.
Mu Ci came to Yanfu Palace because of Dugu Liancheng's edict.
"We can only go for seven days at most?" Mu Ci's eyes flashed slightly when he heard what Dugu Liancheng said.
She didn't care, just seven days. She didn't really want to go to the summer resort to escape the summer heat, but just wanted to give Dugu Liancheng and Mallow a chance to be alone.
At present, Malkui has no chance to take action. In order to quickly promote Malkui's good things, she is also worried.
"The state affairs are busy, and I cannot leave government affairs for too long. While I am going to the summer resort, I can only let King Ling'an temporarily supervise the country."
What Dugu Liancheng didn't say was that he was worried about Dugu Liancheng's work, so he hoped to leave early and come back early.
Mu Ci understood what he didn't finish.
As the emperor, Dugu Liancheng really had nothing to say. If she hadn't suggested going to the summer resort, he wouldn't have abandoned political affairs.
