"My Majesty, please stop saying unlucky words, I don't like to hear them." Sizhu said, her eyes red: "If your Majesty is gone one day, I will stay with you, life and death."
Mu Ci didn't expect Sizhu to say such words. She wiped the tears from the corners of Sizhu's eyes: "Why are you crying?"
What she wants is not separation between life and death, but hope that they can all live well.
"It's your Majesty who made me cry in anger. It's all your fault." Sizhu looked at Mu Ci resentfully.
Mu Ci laughed: "Okay, okay, it's all the Ai family's fault."
This sad topic can only be discussed temporarily.
But she still feels that there will be such a day in the future, and this day is not far away.
In the future, she still has to find an appropriate opportunity to gather the four girls who serve her together to inoculate them against what may happen in the future.
Even so, Mu Ci's words still affected Sizhu's mood.
She remembered the soul-eating grass that her empress had planted in the vegetable field. Where it was used in the end, she didn't dare to ask.
Even in the entire Yong'an Palace, she was the only one who knew that the empress had planted soul-eating grass.
But the empress had never told her the usefulness of the Soul-Eating Grass.
Today, the empress suddenly said those unlucky words, and she suddenly felt that the soul-eating grass might have been used on the emperor——
Sizhu didn't dare to think about it further.
It was probably just her being too worried, but she was still afraid.
"Sizhu?" Dugu Liancheng had never seen Sizhu like this before. She didn't react at all, and her soul seemed to have been seduced by King Yama.
Only then did Sizhu realize that the emperor had stood in front of her at some point, and she hurriedly saluted.
Because the emperor never issued an edict when he came to Yong'an Palace, this was the reason for this dilemma.
"But what happened?" Dugu Liancheng rarely cared about a slave.
It's all because Sizhu is Mu Ci's most important maid, and she behaves steadily on weekdays. If Sizhu has something on his mind, he may have something to do with Mu Ci.
"This slave just had a quarrel with Yingchun and was distracted. It's my fault. I shouldn't have been distracted while I was on duty." Sizhu didn't dare to look into the emperor's eyes when he lied.
The reason why she felt guilty was probably because of what she had guessed before.
The empress sometimes does things without leaving any room. The emperor once forced the empress like that, and she was afraid that the empress would actually poison the emperor as she thought.
If the Dongchuang incident happened, it would be a serious crime that would kill all the nine clans.
When she thought of this possibility, she felt terrified. She only hoped that she was overthinking it and that the empress would not be so bold as to commit such a treasonous act of regicide.
Yes, this is regicide. Who can bear such responsibility?
It's just that she didn't dare to ask this kind of question.
Dugu Liancheng didn't ask any more questions here, just assuming that Sizhu and Yingchun really had a quarrel. The two palace maids had always had a good relationship, and they were close to Mu Ci. If they really wanted to quarrel, it would be hard for Mu Ci to be a good person.
However, looking at Mu Ci's expression, it didn't look like he was affected, but his mood was not high, and he seemed to have something on his mind.
"But you're not happy about the quarrel between Yingchun and Sizhu?" Dugu Liancheng took a piece of fruit and handed it to Mu Ci's lips.
Mu Ci has recently become accustomed to his feeding movements and naturally opens her mouth to eat.
Dugu Liancheng was very satisfied and fed him a few more times. Mu Ci didn't feel it was right until he finished eating, but he didn't worry about it.
But in this moment of thought, Mu Ci already knew that the quarrel between Sizhu and Yingchun was just Sizhu's excuse.
"It has nothing to do with them. My mood is not high because the weather is too hot." Mu Ci said, continuing to be in a daze.
Dugu Liancheng rarely found fault with her and stayed with her quietly.
It's just that Biyu went and came back soon, bringing an ice basin.
There is always no shortage of ice basins in Yong'an Palace. This time Biyu brought the ice basin again, of course because the emperor wanted to please Mu Ci.
As soon as the ice basin is put in, the room immediately cools down, making people feel comfortable all over.
Her body felt better, and Mu Ci's mind began to function normally. Instead of worrying about things that had never happened, it was better to be prepared.
At that moment, she straightened her tone and got down to business: "Whether I'm going to give you a gold medal to avoid death, I'm going to give you a few words."
Dugu Liancheng didn't expect that she was still thinking about this matter. If someone else made such a request, he would not only not reward her, but would punish her.
This time he proposed it on his own initiative, and he was owed several rewards. If he pushed back again, she might feel uneasy.
After so many calculations, he finally relented: "If you want a death-free medal, I can give it to you, but it can't be that many."
Mu Ci was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had failed again, but unexpectedly the emperor relaxed his words this time.
"It's just that there is no ready-made one. I will have someone make a gold medal specially for you one day, just for you."
What Dugu Liancheng said next surprised Mu Ci again.
Speaking of which, she had lived two lives and had never seen a real death-free gold medal. Now she heard that the emperor said that there was no ready-made one and that he had to make it temporarily, which made her feel a little funny.
Does she act like this? The key is that the emperor also followed her.
Dugu Liancheng saw her curling up the corners of her lips, and said with concentration: "It's useless to be dissatisfied, it would be nice if I could give you one. Do you think everyone can have a death-free gold medal? Originally, this thing should only be given to meritorious officials.
Yes, what contribution did you make to Daxia?"
Mu Cixin said she was there to save her life. Why was the emperor talking nonsense to her?
"This is what you promised me. The emperor sticks to his word, so he can be considered a man."
The next moment, she was pulled into Dugu Liancheng's arms: "Go to bed!"
Mu Ci: "..."
Dugu Liancheng was in a good mood when he saw her daring to forgive but not speak up: "If you don't serve me well, you won't even want the gold medal for immunity from death."
Mu Ci originally wanted to say that it was not dark yet and it was not appropriate to go to bed, but when he heard what he said, he did not dare to neglect it.
Therefore, it was rare for Dugu Liancheng to enjoy Mu Ci's embrace. This wonderful feeling cannot be described in words.
He was even thinking that if she could serve him beautifully in the future, why not give her a few more gold medals to avoid death?
It's just that his behavior is more like a fool.
The next day, Dugu Liancheng once again experienced what it was like for a king to never go to court in the morning. He also really thought that by spending time with her, he would no longer have to go to court in the morning...
