Mu Ci took advantage of the opportunity and got on the boat when the incident occurred.
Mu Yu, who was already on the boat, stood quietly behind them. Naturally, no one noticed that Mu Yu was already on the boat.
Even if someone saw Mu Yu, they would think that Mu Yu followed her on the ship later.
"The Queen Mother has many connections. I admire so many people who work hard for her." Mallow's words were not sarcastic.
If she had Mu Ci's ability, would she still be worried about success?
"It seems that you still don't know why you are living here." Mu Ci looked at Mallow sympathetically.
Poor people must be hateful. Isn't that the case with mallow?
"My slave will lose, naturally because I am not as good as others, isn't it?" Mallow asked back.
It couldn't be that Mu Ci was lucky enough to win her easily.
"It's because you have evil intentions. If you weren't ambitious, the Ai family wouldn't be able to catch you. You will end up like this because you covet something that doesn't belong to you." Mu Ci glanced at Jin coldly.
Kui stood up and said, "If you don't feel any regret at this time, there is no need for Aijia to waste any more time with you."
She originally thought that maybe she could let Mallow survive, but now it seems that it's not necessary.
"Don't you want to know Le Jieyu's weakness?" Seeing that Mu Ci was about to leave, Jin Kui became anxious: "I know Le Jieyu's secret. Can your Majesty give me another chance?"
She doesn't want to die yet.
"The Aijia knows Qingle's weakness. As for you, the Aijia originally wanted to give you a way to survive, but the Aijia feels it's better to let you fend for yourself. If you can find a way to survive, that's your ability."
Mu Ci said and walked out of the cell.
Mallow's face turned pale and she hurriedly took two steps to catch up: "How will your Majesty deal with this slave?"
"Other concubines who have made mistakes can enter the Beigong, but you are just a palace servant. So the place you can go is limited, and you can only go to the Yeting Bureau." After Mu Ci said that, he left.
Mallow fell to the ground, covering her face and crying.
She knew that Mu Ci had been merciful, at least he had not taken her life directly. But banishing her to the Yeting Bureau was undoubtedly a death sentence for her, because Qing Le would not let her go easily and would definitely find a way to destroy her.
mouth.
There was no way she could survive.
Shortly after Mu Ci left, someone came in, took away Mallow, and threw her into the Yeting Bureau to fend for herself.
When Mallow knew that she had entered Yeting, she was worried that Qing Le would kill her. She knew that Qing Le would not let her go easily and would find a way to kill her to silence her, but she still wanted to survive.
About ten days later, Mu Ci received a report from Ye Tingcheng that Mallow fell into a well and died suddenly last night.
After Mu Ci received the news, he sent Sizhu to the Yeting Bureau for an autopsy.
Sizhu came back soon and said she saw Mallow's body. But the body had been soaked all night, and its face had swelled and was beyond recognition. She didn't even dare to take a closer look, so she had to come back first to revive.
"My slave is ashamed." Sizhu felt a little guilty.
Originally, the empress wanted her to identify the body, but she was so disgusted by Aoi's body that she didn't dare to look too closely.
"You have to practice carefully in the future so that you can be calm when encountering this kind of thing in the future." Mu Ci did not blame Sizhu.
She quickly forgot about the incident.
When Mallow died suddenly, it was definitely not because she accidentally fell into the well, but because Qing Le was behind it and made others kill Mallow.
She had expected this day, so Malkui's death was not unexpected as she expected it.
If a mallow dies, no one in the harem will care.
It is unclear how many maids and chambermaids in the harem died. It is not surprising that someone like Mallow who offended the master of the harem would die suddenly.
Although everyone knew that Mallow's death was very strange, they tacitly understood it and would not meddle in other people's business.
After all, the grudge between Mallow and Qingle has nothing to do with them.
There are also people who speculate that Mu Ci was behind the death of Malkui, but this is just speculation and there is no evidence after all.
This rumor quickly spread to everyone in the harem.
After Yingchun told Mu Ci about this, she became furious: "Le Jieyu must be behind it to ruin the reputation of the empress. Doesn't the empress want to find a way to deal with Le Jieyu?"
She was so angry.
Qingle himself was clearly the one who killed Mallow, but he still put the blame on the empress. After Mallow died, Qingle was still using Mallow to make a fuss and harm the empress. It was simply too bad.
"Your Majesty is not angry, so why are you so angry at yourself?" Sizhu only found it funny.
Rumors like this can't hurt the empress at all. For a strong-willed woman like the empress, ordinary people and things can't hurt the empress.
"That's because the empress is well-educated." Yingchun gently shook Mu Ci's arm: "I would like to tell you something, when did you deal with Fei Yuxuan's black-hearted master?"
That kind of person is so completely evil, I should have taken action long ago.
It's all the emperor's fault. On the surface, he seems to be doting on the empress, but in fact, it's Qing Le who is doting on him. The emperor doesn't even punish Qing Le for doing so many bad things. She feels sad for the empress.
.
"Do you think the harem is run by the Ai family, and anyone can be punished if they want?" Mu Ci couldn't laugh or cry.
Yingchun hummed: "Your Majesty is so unreliable, why don't you come and take over -"
Before she could finish her rebellious words, Sizhu covered her mouth: "This is your reward for me if you don't cause more trouble to me. If you continue like this, you will cause trouble sooner or later."
Yingchun knew she had said the wrong thing, so she moved Sizhu's hand away and said, "I didn't say anything. Why are you so anxious?"
She also knew that she could never control her mouth. No wonder she was anxious to welcome the Spring Festival. Fortunately, she was surrounded by the closest people.
"Be careful in the future, don't be old or young again." Sizhu warned in a low voice.
"I understand." Yingchun responded.
Because of this battle, she did not dare to pester her empress anymore and found an excuse to go out and be busy.
Mu Ci looked at Yingchun's back and thought thoughtfully: "If Aijia is no longer around Yingchun one day, will her mouth cause trouble?"
Sizhu was stunned when he heard this: "What do you mean by this?"
What does it mean not to be with Yingchun?
She and Yingchun will serve the empress for the rest of their lives and will never leave her.
"The Aijia just said that if..." Mu Ci looked steadily at a certain point in front of him: "The harem is ups and downs, personnel are unpredictable, and the Aijia don't know what will happen tomorrow. If the Aijia leaves the palace one day, or...
One day he died..."
"Your Majesty!" Sizhu's face turned red and she didn't want to hear any more. She was so angry that she interrupted Mu Ci's words.
It was the first time that Mu Ci saw Sizhu's expression look so ugly.
"Don't worry, the Ai family is just talking casually." Mu Ci was helpless.
She just felt that a person like Dugu Liancheng would not tolerate anyone's betrayal. Moreover, he was the emperor. If all the things she had done were known to the emperor one day, she would not be afraid, but she would be afraid of affecting the people closest to her.
