She didn't want to think about what happened before. She wanted to send her mother away from the capital, but if she really wanted to take action, someone would definitely find out the clues, which would become evidence of her guilty conscience.
Since you have already laid out the plan, why should you mess up your position?
It's just that the emperor is very scheming, and it's not easy to deceive him. As long as the emperor finds out some clues, it will be difficult for her to get out of trouble.
Mu Ci stayed in Yong'an Palace for the next two days and did not go anywhere, but the news about Dugu Liancheng never stopped.
Some people say that Dugu Liancheng's illness has become serious again, to the point where he cannot recognize people clearly; others say that Dugu Liancheng's illness has improved a lot because Qi Yu's medical skills are great.
Mu Ci didn't know which kind of news was more reliable, but she believed that Qi Yu's medical skills were indeed excellent. With Qi Yu here, Dugu Liancheng would not be in danger of his life in the short term.
On this day, Li Yu came to Yong'an Palace. It is said that Qi Yu invited her to Yanfu Palace, hoping that she could persuade the emperor to let go of his past grudges.
Qi Yu believes that treating a disease should treat the root cause.
As long as the emperor's mental illness is cured first, and then the emperor's body is cured, this is not a difficult task.
Among the entire harem, Mu Ci was undoubtedly the closest person to the emperor. The emperor would not listen to what others said, but Mu Ci had such ability.
What's more, the emperor's heartache must be related to the secrets of the harem, and only with an identity like Mu Ci, the emperor has the possibility to tell the truth.
This person can only be Mu Ci, provided that Mu Ci is willing to help the emperor.
Mu Ci knew that Qi Yu's words were right.
Soul-eating grass will infinitely amplify the senses, and the pain in the heart will also be infinitely amplified. Sometimes emotional loss is far more painful than physical pain.
But why did she ask Dugu Liancheng?
She clearly wished she could return all the pain he had inflicted on her.
When Mu Ci arrived at Yanfu Palace, Dugu Liancheng was reviewing the memorial. His pale face reminded her of the late emperor.
The facial features of the late emperor and Dugu Liancheng were already similar, but Dugu Liancheng's morbid appearance at this moment looked even more like the late emperor.
As if aware of her gaze, Dugu Liancheng raised his head to look at her, put down his pen, and walked towards her.
"Emperor, come with me for a walk outside." Mu Ci broke the silence.
She didn't know if she could untie Dugu Liancheng's knot, but she was still very interested in the secret history of the previous dynasty.
The formation of everyone's character must be closely related to the environment in which they grew up, and even Dugu Liancheng, who was born into a family of imperial power, is no exception.
This time Mu Ci brought Dugu Liancheng to Chuxiu Palace.
She sat down under the banyan tree, and Dugu Liancheng raised his eyebrows: "What did you bring me here for?"
"Do you still remember the case of He Zhaoyuan's tire slide?" Mu Ci said, and simply pulled Dugu Liancheng to sit on the bamboo chair next to him.
Dugu Liancheng raised his eyes and looked at the banyan tree, "This banyan tree is the place where the crime was originally committed."
What does Mu Ci want to explain through this?
"Every good thing may be the source of evil. The harem, a place of right and wrong, is the center of power and the wrestling field of major families. Successful people may climb to the position of the middle palace, and losers may get about
It's a foot of white prunes or a pot of poisonous wine. Why do people still spare no effort to climb up even though they know it's so dangerous? It's just a matter of temptation."
Mu Ci said as he looked at the towering tree in front of him: "This banyan tree is a beautiful scenery in Chuxiu Palace, but it can also be used as a murder tool."
The little life in He Zhaoyuan's belly died under this tree.
"So what?" Dugu Liancheng's voice was cold.
"When Concubine Yun De passed away, the emperor was still young. Things that you couldn't understand when you were a child, you will definitely understand when you grow up. Your mother and concubine should have died unexpectedly because they blocked the way of others." Mu Ci corrected his expression and got to the point.
.
If Dugu Liancheng's wound is not opened, it will only rot and fester in the accumulation of time. It is better to simply open his wound and let him feel the pain for once.
"You grew up in the palace, so you should naturally know that your mother-in-law is a victim of power. However, she is the loser. In the end..."
Before Mu Ci finished speaking, Dugu Liancheng sneered: "What do you know?! How dare you mention my mother and concubine?!"
Mu Ci looked at his twisted face and knew that she had hit his sore spot.
She really didn't know what happened during the reign of Emperor Qingyuan, but she only knew that none of the concubines from that period survived. As for Concubine Yunde, she only knew that she died suddenly.
As for why Concubine Yun De died, she certainly didn't know.
Even though she has lived two lives, she still doesn't know much about Dugu Liancheng.
"Why don't I understand? Because I am also a member of the harem. There are too many dirty things in this place, and there are countless pairs of eyes staring at you behind the scenes. If you don't harm others, someone will always harm you. Is it possible that Concubine Yun De
Wasn't it like the emperor's heir in Concubine He Shu's womb who was killed by others?" Mu Ci carefully raised the question.
Dugu Liancheng's face was distorted, and he didn't know how long it took before he regained his composure.
He was still breathing heavily, as if he couldn't calm down his anger.
"To this day, I don't know whether my mother-in-law died unexpectedly. When I saw her body, she looked very calm. Just as the palace servant who served her said, she seemed to have died posthumously. In the harem, my mother-in-law was extremely depressed.
It is not because she did not sit in the middle palace position, but because the father and the emperor had countless other beloved concubines besides the mother and concubine. The mother and concubine would mind this, just because she cares about the father. The mother and concubine's love is crazy.
, because I look like my father, she loves me and hates me at the same time. I was tortured by my mother and concubine a lot when I was a child, all because my mother and concubine loved me. My mother and concubine put all the love and hatred towards my father, the emperor, into
They were all imposed on me. At that time, I felt that women are a very scary species..." Dugu Liancheng murmured silently.
When his mother and concubine were still alive, he was most afraid of nightfall. Because as long as his father stayed in the palace of other concubines, his mother and concubine would try their best to torture him without leaving any trace on his body.
Only Dugu Lianyun knows about his miserable past, and perhaps this is why he is close to Dugu Lianyun.
When his mother and concubine passed away suddenly, he was actually relieved because he no longer had to stay awake all night for fear of inhuman torture.
But after his mother and concubine passed away suddenly, he suddenly fell ill.
The death of his mother-in-law did not make him feel better. Instead, she would enter his dreams every night and continue to torture him in his dreams.
These things have been weighing on his mind for so long that he has never told anyone about them.
Why doesn't he like women to get close to each other? It's because he can always see the unknown dark side under those gentle-looking faces.
He didn't want any concubine to love him as much as he wanted, because he didn't want to be like his father and create a second twisted personality like his mother-in-law, and he didn't want his children to be like him...
