Gu Zhiqing was watching intently, when Mu Ci suddenly raised his eyes, and the two of them looked at each other with belief.
Mu Ci was a little surprised that Gu Zhiqing was also there.
"It turns out that Mr. Gu is discussing political affairs with the emperor."
When Mu Ci blurted out these words, he immediately became alarmed that something was wrong.
She forgot that she had never met Gu Zhiqing face to face in this life. Isn't it strange that she suddenly recognized Gu Zhiqing?
As expected, Dugu Liancheng and Gu Zhiqing had different expressions, and she was obviously surprised that she could recognize Gu Zhiqing.
"How do you know Gu Aiqing?" The strangeness in Dugu Liancheng's expression quickly disappeared, but he looked at Mu Ci with a searching look.
Mu Ci was also calm: "There is a palace maid in Yong'an Palace who is very interested in Master Gu. Seeing that she is infatuated with Master Gu, the Ai family secretly took her to meet Master Gu from a distance."
Dugu Liancheng disagreed.
Could Mu Ci be talking about herself?
But then I thought about it, Mu Ci would not do such an outrageous thing.
But he didn't believe a word she said. So, how could she know Gu Zhiqing?
Looking at Gu Zhiqing's expression, it didn't look like he knew Mu Ci. It was probably the first time they met.
"Since the emperor is busy with government affairs, the Ai family will come back later." Mu Ci nodded and wanted to leave.
"You're already here, just stay." Dugu Liancheng looked at Gu Zhiqing.
Gu Zhiqing understood and stepped back respectfully.
After leaving the palace, Gu Zhiqing was still thinking about Mu Ci calling his name just now. He was very sure that he had never met Mu Ci before. Could it be that as Mu Ci said, it was because a maid in Yong'an Palace admired him?
, Mu Ci recognized him at a glance after seeing him from a distance?
Recalling the emperor's attitude towards Mu Ci just now, as well as Mu Ci's appearance and demeanor, he suddenly felt that the rumors were not false.
The Emperor's tone of voice when speaking to Mu Ci was clearly affectionate, and the way he looked at Mu Ci was also very different...
As soon as Gu Zhiqing left, Dugu Liancheng asked: "When did you meet Gu Aiqing specifically?"
"I don't remember, and it's not an important thing. Why do I still remember the date?" Mu Ci replied quietly: "I came to you today because I wanted to know how you want to deal with Mallow."
Last night her attention was diverted by Dugu Liancheng and she forgot to ask about this matter.
Dugu Liancheng replied slowly: "It depends on what you want. How do you want to deal with her?"
Mu Ci didn't expect that he would give such an answer. She was stunned for a moment: "She is a palace maid, otherwise she could be exiled to Beigong."
The Beigong is a cold palace where disgraced concubines are kept, and Mallow is just a palace maid. It is not appropriate to throw her into the Beigong.
"I thought you wanted her life." Dugu Liancheng was a little surprised.
Mu Ci found it funny: "Do I seem to like killing people?"
She is not willing to take people's lives for no reason, although she does not blink when killing people, but that was all practiced in her previous life.
Dugu Liancheng couldn't continue the topic, so he replied to her: "Since you asked, Mallow will be handed over to you for treatment. You can do whatever you want."
Upon hearing this, Mu Ci accepted the decision without ceremony.
When she was about to leave, Dugu Liancheng repeated the old conversation: "How on earth did you know Gu Aiqing?"
Seeing that he was doubting himself, Mu Ci simply replied: "Okay, let me tell the truth. Although I am in the harem, I also know that Gu Zhiqing is highly valued by you, and the person who can be summoned by you alone must not be a small person.
Official. In addition, his age and demeanor match those of Gu Zhiqing, so it is not surprising that I would guess that he is Gu Zhiqing. Now, do you still have any questions?"
What she said was reasonable and well-founded, and Dugu Liancheng really couldn't fault it.
"In that case, why don't you just say it outright and insist on finding such an explanation? Do you want to attract Gu Aiqing's attention?" Dugu Liancheng still felt uncomfortable.
Mu Ci was speechless for a moment: "I just think it's so simple and clear, so there's no need to waste too much time. You can think whatever you want, I'm leaving."
"I think you are eager to leave because you have something evil in your heart!" Dugu Liancheng said towards Mu Ci's back.
Mu Ci pretended not to hear and walked away slowly.
"Look at her attitude. I said a few words to her, but she actually thought I was farting!" Dugu Liancheng was so angry that he couldn't say anything.
Li Yu was silent, but decided to kindly remind Long Live Master: "Your Majesty, we must use elegant words."
You can't be as vulgar as the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother also said such a foul language last time, and now the Emperor is learning from it and putting it into practice. It is true that he does not imitate good things and imitate bad things.
Dugu Liancheng: "..."
After Mu Ci left the Hall of Supreme Harmony, he immediately went to the prison to see Jin Kui.
Malkui has been in jail these days. She also knows that after this battle, she is in danger, and she is ready to die.
But speaking of it, she was still unwilling to accept it and died in the palace at a young age.
With her abilities, she could clearly have a better future. If the person who dug her up was not Qing Le but Mu Ci, she would not have ended up like this.
When Mu Ci entered the prison, Mallow was lying on the ground in a daze.
When she saw Mu Ci appear, she sat up suddenly and stared at Mu Ci warily.
When Mu Ci saw this, he immediately understood: "It seems that you still hold on to a glimmer of hope, and you don't want to die yet."
Mallow looked at Mu Ci and darkened her eyebrows: "I know that my crime is unforgivable, but I am still afraid of death."
Yes, she was afraid of death, but when she got to this point, she should have thought about the consequences of failure. If she chose to be Mu Ci's enemy, she had to make sure that she was prepared to die.
Mu Ci looked at her with pity, "What a poor child."
It's just that her eyes have no warmth.
Facing her enemies, she will not come to offer warmth.
Mallow opened her mouth, wanting to say that she was not pitiful, but finally closed her mouth.
"The Queen Mother, I really want to know something. I didn't add any medicine to the emperor's tea at that time. If so, how could the emperor fall into this trap?" Mallow expressed her confusion.
This is a question she has never thought about.
"There is someone from the Ai family on the boat. She has already given the medicine to the pot of tea you gave the emperor." Mu Ci did not hesitate to answer and told the truth.
"Who is that person? How did he get on the boat? Why did he know in advance that the servant and the emperor would go on the boat?!" Mallow asked repeatedly.
If she didn't know the answer, she was afraid that she would die in peace.
At this time, she thought the man on the boat was a guard.
Mu Ci smiled and replied Xu Sheng: "There is no need for the Ai family to tell you who she is."
That person is of course Mu Yu.
Originally, Mu Yu was just a rough maid and was not qualified to come to the Summer Resort. However, with Biyu here, it was not difficult to arrange for a rough maid to go to the Summer Resort to do rough work.
Whether she is leaving the palace or returning to the palace, Mu Yu is very low-key and hides herself well.
That day when Mallow proposed to go swimming in the lake, Mu Yu followed her from afar to the most inconspicuous corner. Biyu turned her head and looked at her, and Mu Yu knew what to do.
