Mu Ci was the first to arrive in front of the Gui Pavilion, and she rushed in. Xiao Wu was a little surprised when he saw Mu Ci suddenly appear: "Why are you in such a hurry, girl?"
"Where is Xiao Ziyan?" Mu Ci asked.
"Just in the study room—" As soon as Xiao Wu finished his words, Mu Ci ran away.
Mu Ci walked to the study and saw Dugu Lianyun painting. Hearing her footsteps, he raised his head and looked at her.
Mu Ci didn't waste any time and directly stated his intention: "I want to enter the palace!"
Dugu Lianyun's writing movement paused in mid-air, as if he didn't expect that she would make such a request.
"I said, I want to enter the palace. No matter what identity is assigned to me, I want to enter the palace." Mu Ci said anxiously.
She is just such a sister, and it is impossible for her to remain indifferent knowing that Mu Yao suddenly disappeared.
She doesn't believe anyone, she only believes what she sees.
"Why should I help you?" Dugu Lianyun looked calm.
She was supposed to be his queen, and after finally getting her out of the palace, she still wanted to go back in. Is it because of Dugu Liancheng?
Mu Ci didn't know how to answer.
Yes, why should he help her? The relationship between him and her is no longer what it used to be.
She was his queen before, and then she became the woman of Dugu Liancheng. He should hate her.
"You have no obligation to help me, but I am free and you have no reason to put me under house arrest. Let's put it this way, I want to leave, are you allowed?" Mu Ci said without pretense.
She also didn't expect that one day she would speak to Dugu Lianyun in such a tone.
She once thought that Dugu Lianyun was the gentlest and most perfect man in the world, but now she doesn't believe anything.
Dugu Lianyun looked at her for a while, and then softened his voice: "You came just in time, come and take a look at the painting I made. What's wrong with it? I always feel that I can't paint your charm."
Mu Ci's heart softened, and she went to Dugu Lianyun's side.
The painting shows a girl with bright eyes and an innocent smile. That was when she was young and frivolous. She was riding a horse, holding a long whip in her hand, and her smile was bright as if she had taken over the whole world.
She didn't even know when this happened and couldn't remember it.
"I feel like this is not me, this is just the Mu Ci you made up." Mu Ci murmured silently.
The Mu Ci in Dugu Lianyun's memory was so vivid, but since her rebirth, she had never smiled so wantonly.
"Just stand aside." Dugu Lianyun added a few more strokes to the painting: "I know who I am painting, and I also know who you are."
Mu Ci simply found a seat and sat down, but what he was thinking about was Mu Yao.
"Whether you want it or not, I will leave the Zhou Mansion tomorrow." Mu Ci continued, minding his own business.
Mu Yao has disappeared for a while. If he leaves for the capital tomorrow, it will take two days to reach his destination.
Dugu Lianyun glanced at her, pursed his lips slightly, and said nothing.
"I said, I want to leave the Zhou Mansion! Dugu Lianyun, you were not like this before." Mu Ci suddenly spoke fluently.
She didn't like the feeling of being controlled and free.
Since he chose to fake his death back then, it was tantamount to giving up on her.
Yes, of course he faked his death.
His martial arts was so good, how could he have mastered it in two years? He had such good martial arts, how could such a person die so easily?
Even though he died leaning on her shoulder, she knew that people with great medical skills could develop a drug to fake death. Didn't Qi Yu have such ability?
"I wasn't like this before, so what was I like before?" Dugu Lianyun asked. He finally put down his pen, walked up to Mu Ci, and looked down at her: "Mu Ci, tell me, what was I like before?"
Mu Ci opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but was speechless.
Before entering the palace, all her thoughts were devoted to Dugu Liancheng, and there was no room in her heart for other men, including Dugu Lianyun.
She only knew that Dugu Lianyun was very kind and gentle, and would always respond to her requests.
But things are different now. What reason does he have to respond to her every request? She even gave him a cuckold after his "death".
"It's not my fault that I lost my temper just now. But I still said that I want to leave the Zhou Mansion." Mu Ci said carefully: "The past is no longer important. I just hope that you will be happy in the future."
Don’t get stuck with people like me anymore.”
In this Zhou Mansion alone, there are many girls who fall in love with him. Even a ruthless man like Qing Le has shown his sincerity to Dugu Lianyun. What kind of woman does he want without such an outstanding person?
She Mu Ci has no skills, she only knows how to scheme, and she is not a woman. She is the least qualified person to criticize him, and the least qualified person to stand by his side.
Dugu Lianyun's eyes grew colder, "Don't be so self-righteous. I know what kind of person you are. Now that I have taken you out of the palace, I will never let you in again——"
"Are you sure? What if you return to the palace one day? Why did you fake your death? Seeing Dugu Liancheng sitting in the seat you used to sit in, you never thought of taking his place?" Mu Ci originally wanted to pretend to be deaf and dumb.
, but still can’t help but expose those seemingly perfect illusions.
"You are still cuter than before." Dugu Lianyun ordered in a deep voice: "Xiao Wu, send Mu Ci back to Hengwuyuan."
"No need to send him off, I will leave on my own. Dugu Lianyun, I said I wanted to leave the Zhou Mansion. I was not joking. Your Hengwu Garden cannot trap me." After Mu Ci finished speaking, he walked away quickly.
Xiao Wu didn't dare to say anything.
He had never seen a woman dare to talk to Dugu Lianyun like this. Although he had known that Mu Ci was different, but now he saw with his own eyes that Mu Ci was disrespectful to Dugu Lianyun, he still felt grievances against his master.
There are so many women in the world, why should the master be obsessed with Mu Ci? This is just a woman who does not follow the rules of women.
"I should have taken her away in the first place." Dugu Lianyun closed his eyes and muttered to himself.
It's because he is too conceited.
He thought that Dugu Liancheng hated Mu Ci, and ordered Mu Ci to become the queen mother. No matter what, Dugu Liancheng should have some scruples because of Mu Ci's status.
He knows Dugu Liancheng very well.
Dugu Liancheng is not a womanizer, he hates women, and he hates Mu Ci even more. How could such a Dugu Liancheng become interested in Mu Ci?
But just like that, the most unlikely thing happened.
"It's not my fault, why should I blame myself?" Xiao Wu said calmly.
"I gave up on her first and left her alone in a cannibalistic place like the harem." Dugu Lianyun sighed.
What's the use of regretting now? It's too late.
Mu Ci thought he was dead. Even though she finally committed herself to Dugu Liancheng under the authority of the emperor, she responded to Dugu Liancheng in the strongest way.
It was never Mu Ci's fault, it was that he took the wrong first step and made mistakes every step of the way.
He didn't even have a reason to blame Mu Ci.
——
I will resign and return to the palace tomorrow. The harem is her battlefield.
