Dugu Liancheng's back was a little stiff. After a while, he turned back to look at Mu Ci: "You are still as unpleasant as before. Can you tell me about your whole body, what is it about you that makes me happy?"
Mu Cixue's jaw tightened and she looked at Dugu Liancheng coldly: "Is it so difficult to admit that you are attracted to me?"
If Dugu Liancheng was attracted to her in this life, what about the previous life?
The look in his eyes when he looked at her in his previous life was warmer than before. It didn't look like he was faking it. If that was just Dugu Liancheng acting, then his acting skills would be great.
There were too many things in her previous life that she didn't get answers to. She didn't know the cause of death of her mother and brother, let alone what role she played in Dugu Liancheng's life.
"This is just your wishful thinking. In my eyes, I can accommodate all the people in the world, but I have no room for one woman." After Dugu Liancheng finished speaking, he walked away slowly.
Mu Ci discovered that he was not slowing down on purpose, but because it was too difficult for him to walk fast.
She went back to sit under the ginkgo tree, looking up at the leaves falling from the branches and spiraling down in front of her.
Someone stood in front of her, it was Qi Yu.
"Can the emperor's headache be cured?" Mu Ci asked.
Dugu Liancheng is such a conceited person, but he has already prepared for the worst. It must be because of something Qi Yu said to the emperor.
"It is difficult to cure. The common people heard that the emperor had a headache when he was a child. They heard that it was a stubborn disease contracted after the death of Concubine Yun De. It took a long time to cure it. This time the emperor's headache is more like an old disease.
Recurrence. Logically speaking, the emperor's headache had been cured by that time, so it could not relapse easily. Moreover, it was so severe that the common people guessed that something must have caused the emperor's chronic illness." Qi Yu said slowly.
When Mu Ci first heard Concubine Yun De's name, she was a little distracted.
Concubine Yunde was the mother-in-law of Dugu Liancheng. It is said that Emperor Qingyuan also loved Concubine Yunde, but Concubine Yunde later died tragically in the harem.
She was still young at that time and only knew roughly.
But she didn't know that Dugu Liancheng's headaches only occurred due to the death of Concubine Yun De.
"The headaches the emperor had when he was a child were more like heart diseases, so they are difficult to cure. But this time the emperor's illness is so serious that the common people thought of a blind medicine..."
Mu Ci raised his head and looked at Qi Yu. He didn't expect Qi Yu's medical skills to be so powerful. Did he already know that the Soul-Eating Grass caused Dugu Liancheng's old illness?
Qi Yu said one word at a time: "That medicine is called Soul-Eating Grass. This medicine has overbearing properties and can cause all old diseases. If a stubborn disease is caused, the disease will kill people. The most important thing is that it is very vicious.
, will make life worse than death.”
He didn't dare to tell the emperor about these things.
There should be someone in the harem who wants the emperor's life. If this matter is revealed, the harem will definitely start a bloody storm.
The person he trusted the most was Mu Ci. The first thing he thought of was to report the matter to Mu Ci and let her make the decision.
Mu Ci's voice was dry and hoarse: "Master Qi, is there any way to cure the emperor?"
"The common people are not sure, but it should be possible. This requires the cooperation of the emperor. The common people also said that the main cause of the emperor's old illness is heart disease. If you want to cure it, you must let the emperor let go of his heart." Qi Yu straightened his expression.
road.
Although Qi Yu's words didn't convey what he meant, Mu Ci still understood clearly. What Qi Yu meant was that Dugu Liancheng had to let go of the grief over Concubine Yun De's tragic death in order to be able to recover.
"Heart ailments still need heart medicine. It has been more than ten years since Concubine Yun De passed away. Could it be that the emperor still can't let her go?" Mu Ci said thoughtfully.
"Perhaps the empress has a way to untie the knot in the emperor's heart, because the person the emperor trusts the most is the empress." No matter how clumsy Qi Yu was, he could tell that the emperor was different from the empress dowager.
"Aijia?" Mu Ci smiled bitterly.
She poisoned Dugu Liancheng with the Soul-Eating Grass, and in the end it was her who came to help him untie his knot, which seemed a bit ironic.
"The person whom the Emperor trusts the most is the Queen Mother, and it is perfect for the Queen Mother to step forward." Qi Yu replied with certainty.
"Let the Aijia think about it." Mu Ci said and walked out.
After walking a few steps, she suddenly asked: "Do you think it is possible for the emperor to be attracted to a woman?"
Qi Yu didn't expect that she would ask such a question.
He nodded slightly: "The emperor also has seven emotions and six desires. If the person he cares about appears, he will naturally be tempted."
"As an emperor, if he trusts a person very much and is attracted to that person, but later finds out that person betrayed him, what do you think the emperor will do?" Mu Ci asked casually.
She is in the middle of the game, has been lost in the chess game she has set up, cannot find a way out, and urgently needs someone to guide her.
Qi Yu was secretly frightened and looked deeply at Mu Ci: "Betrayal by the person you care about most will have disastrous consequences, and it will most likely lead to death."
Because of the emperor's status, it will also cause the disaster of annihilation.
Mu Ci took a deep breath, "The Ai family needs to think carefully..."
She had to think about her own future and prepare for the worst. In fact, the best way was to kill Dugu Liancheng, but this might lead to civil strife in the country and the displacement of the people. She did not dare to take such a risk.
After returning to Yong'an Palace, Mu Ci stared blankly at a certain point in front of him.
Sizhu and Yingchun were accompanying her, and they both knew that the empress had something on her mind.
"You two are ready to leave the palace first." Mu Ci hesitated for a long time, but finally made a plan.
She didn't want Sizhu and Yingchun to accompany her on adventures. If there was one less person in the palace, she would have less to worry about.
"My slave, I won't leave!" Sizhu and Yingchun knelt down at the same time, with stubborn expressions on their faces.
"Since the day I entered the palace, I have decided to share the joys and sorrows with my empress. Even if we die, we will die together." Sizhu said hoarsely.
She would never leave her side at such a time.
"If your Majesty wants to drive away this slave, it's better to just beat her to death." Yingchun said harshly, tears falling down.
Mu Ci knew that they were loyal to him, but he didn't expect them to be so stubborn.
At this time, how could she still leave them with her and put herself in danger even though she knew the danger ahead?
"If your Majesty drives this slave away again, this slave will be killed right in front of your Majesty!" As if knowing that Mu Ci was still plotting against them, Yingchun simply stood up and stared at Mu Ci fiercely.
It seemed that as soon as Mu Ci started talking, she would kill herself by banging her head.
When Mu Ci saw how determined she was, Sizhu also fell silent and stood side by side with Yingchun.
Judging from their posture, they didn't give her a chance to chase them away again.
"That's all, you can do whatever you want." Mu Ci reluctantly relaxed.
Yingchun and Sizhu then wiped away their tears. Then Yingchun became a little scared again: "Will the emperor kill this slave if he knows the truth?"
The emperor obviously likes the empress very much, and since the empress is so smart, she will definitely be able to hide it from the emperor.
"Aijia is not the emperor, how can he predict the future?"
