The next day, Mu Ci got up early and called Biyu over.
"You have been in the palace for many years, so you should have seen the late emperor often, right?" Mu Ci asked.
Biyu didn't understand Mu Ciwen's intention, but answered truthfully: "I don't see him often, sometimes not even once a month."
"Then do you think it is possible for someone like the late emperor to practice martial arts?" Mu Ci asked about his confusion.
Occasionally she also wondered whether the late emperor was still alive, and it was the late emperor she saw last night.
It's just that the man's eyes were so cold and thin, completely different from the late emperor's warm eyes.
Is it her extravagant hope?
"The late emperor practiced martial arts?" Biyu was stunned: "Isn't this impossible? The late emperor was in poor health. Except for the first year after he ascended the throne, he almost never stayed in the next two years. How could the late emperor still have the energy to practice martial arts?"
Mu Ci deeply agreed.
How could the late emperor practice martial arts with a body like that? But she was stupid.
Although she got a glimpse last night, the assassin's temperament was extraordinary and not like a vulgar person. Coupled with the assassin's unpredictable martial arts, it was hard for her to imagine that such a person would be a pawn used by others.
"Why did the empress ask such a ridiculous question?" Biyu asked curiously.
"It's very absurd." Mu Ci said with a straight face, then the topic suddenly changed: "How long are you going to monitor the Ai family?"
Dugu Liancheng kept Biyu beside her all day long and followed her all the time, just to control her actions.
"Your Majesty, your words are serious. Your Majesty is afraid that others will not serve you well, so you order your slaves to serve your Majesty. In Your Majesty's heart, your Majesty is a very important person and must not be harmed in the slightest." Biyu replied with a low eyebrow.
"I don't know if this can convince the Ai family or yourself." Mu Ci said this and walked away.
Since Biyu was transferred to Mu Ci, every move of Mu Ci must be reported to Dugu Liancheng.
Dugu Liancheng was a little surprised when he learned that Mu Ci asked the late emperor if he knew martial arts: "Mu Ci asked you?"
"Exactly, this slave also feels strange. It is a well-known fact that the late emperor is in poor health, but why the empress still asks such a ridiculous question, I can't figure it out." Biyu did not dare to hide it.
Dugu Liancheng thought thoughtfully: "This proves that Mu Ci suspected that the late emperor practiced martial arts. As far as I know, the emperor's brother has been in poor health since he was a child and has been around medicine pots all day long..."
If the former emperor practiced martial arts, what does that mean? It can only be said that he was also concealed by the former emperor.
"Has she been acting strange lately?" Dugu Liancheng asked about business.
He didn't believe that Mu Ci had been unable to conceive for so long. There must be some reason why she couldn't conceive. Mu Ci was a very capable woman, and he had seen her methods more than once.
After her childhood, she returned to sleeping normally, and he often ordered Dr. Zhang to see Mu Ci, but Mu Ci still showed no signs of pregnancy.
"My Majesty is no different from the past. Except for sleeping time, I have never left your side. If there was anything strange about your Majesty, I should have discovered it long ago." Biyu replied truthfully.
So far, there is nothing strange about Mu Ci.
"She was assassinated last night, and you didn't serve her, right?" Dugu Liancheng tapped the table, thoughtfully.
"The empress dismissed everyone, and there was only the empress in the room, so the servants didn't see what the assassin looked like." Biyu felt uneasy in her heart.
Is it possible that the emperor suspected that the empress did something after repelling her?
"How could you guess Mu Ci's methods? She wants to do something, and there are many ways." Du Lian Liancheng said, already having some calculations in his mind.
Of course Mu Ci didn't know that Dugu Liancheng would take action.
This night was like usual, after she finished attending the bedtime, Dugu Liancheng fell asleep.
About an hour later, she looked outside through the brocade tent, but there was no one there. She turned to look at the emperor and saw that he had already fallen asleep, so she turned around carefully.
She just took out the medicine and was about to take it when someone suddenly grabbed her wrist. As for the bracelet on her wrist, Dugu Liancheng also forcibly took it away.
Mu Ci did not expect that Dugu Liancheng would deceive her. She had no time to react and watched him take away her bracelet. The pills hidden in the secret chamber of the bracelet were also confiscated by Dugu Liancheng.
"I should have known that this woman of yours is so scheming!" Dugu Liancheng sneered.
When Mu Ci wore two bracelets, he didn't notice at all. One of the two bracelets was given to her by him, but the other bracelet was obtained by herself from unknown sources.
The bracelet she wore was inconspicuous, and since she already had one on her hand, no one noticed if she wore an extra one.
Moreover, the inside of this bracelet is not solid. There is a small mechanism. As long as the mechanism is pressed, the pills hidden in the bracelet can be taken out.
No wonder she didn't conceive for a long time because she took contraceptive pills afterwards.
This woman was so cunning and cunning that he was amazed.
But where did she get the pills? This matter needs to be investigated carefully.
Mu Ci has returned to normal after being stunned at the beginning, "Now that you have discovered it, I am not afraid to tell the truth. I am still young, and medical books say that it is not good for a woman to conceive children too early. I don't want to be burdened by children at a young age.
, and you don’t let me use birth control, so I can only think of ways to do it myself. This is a good thing for me, and I don’t see anything wrong with it.”
Dugu Liancheng wanted her to become pregnant with the emperor's heir and then forced her into his harem. It was strange that she would be willing to accept her fate.
Her destiny has always been in her own hands. Even if Dugu Liancheng is the emperor, he has no power to control her.
"Listening to what you said, are you still reasonable?" Dugu Liancheng simply laughed angrily.
Mu Ci raised her eyebrows lightly: "I have a point. If you don't believe it, I can find the medical books and show them to you."
As she spoke, she really started looking for medical books.
After a while, she found the medical book and turned to her own page.
"It is clearly written on it that a woman is not fully developed before she is eighteen years old. If she gives birth to a baby too early, it will affect the woman's body. It is unfounded. Let the emperor see for himself." Mu Ci said and threw the medical book to him.
Dugu Liancheng.
Dugu Liancheng looked over the meaning and found that it was indeed written in black and white that it would be detrimental to a woman to give birth to a child too early. Mu Ci cherished her life so much, and it seemed that it was not unreasonable to do so.
But soon he discovered that Mu Ci had easily changed his focus.
It was obvious that she had done bad things herself, but in the end she was the one who made the most sense. How could this be unreasonable?
"Emperor, don't take it for granted. Your concubines are willing to bear children for you because they are your women, and they want to ascend to the throne through their heirs. If I bear children for you, what can I do? I am already the Queen Mother.
Your status can no longer be noble, and if you suddenly become pregnant with your child, you will be reviled by the world."
