"Did you enter the palace for Liancheng?" Seeing Mu Ci's silence, Dugu Lianyun asked.
"How is that possible?" Mu Ci was a little surprised.
She committed regicide and was thrown into the cold palace by Dugu Liancheng. Under such circumstances, how could she enter the palace for Dugu Liancheng?
She still wants to live a few more years, so she can't do such a stupid thing.
Dugu Lianyun looked at her steadily, as if considering whether her words were true or false.
Mu Ci looked back calmly: "I have something to do when I enter the palace. Half a month is not enough. I will make a quick decision and leave the palace after finishing the matter."
She had to find Mu Yao and make sure Mu Yao was safe before she could feel at ease.
She didn't believe that a living person could disappear out of thin air, and she didn't want to prepare for the worst.
"If Liancheng wants to keep you, will you stay in the palace?" Dugu Lianyun asked another question.
It was not that he was worried about Mu Ci, but that he was worried about Dugu Liancheng.
Mu Ci frowned when he heard this: "This won't happen. As long as you give me an identity that won't meet the emperor, and then find a disguise master to disguise me, or put on a human skin mask for me,
No one will recognize me..."
Before she finished speaking, a smile flashed across Dugu Lianyun's eyes, and she didn't know why: "Did I say something wrong?"
Dugu Lianyun coughed lightly: "The human skin mask mentioned in the storybook does not exist, and it is difficult to find a master of disguise. But Mother Chen can follow you to the palace, she can teach you how to put on makeup, and you have to change your temperament.
, and the tone of your words. Another thing, Zhou Zhen stays with me."
When Mu Ci heard his last sentence, her beautiful eyes half-squinted, and she immediately understood that Dugu Lianyun was treating Zhou Zhen as a hostage.
"I said I would take her away." Mu Ci's face darkened.
She can't keep her word.
"She also went to the capital with you, but she can't go to the palace to hold you back. Staying with me can reduce your burden. If you agree, I will arrange for you to enter the palace with a suitable identity. If you don't agree, this will
That's the end of the matter." Dugu Lianyun was dictatorial and blocked Mu Ci's escape route.
Mu Ci never expected that Dugu Lianyun would put forward such a condition.
With Zhou Zhen in hand, Dugu Lianyun is not afraid that she will not come back to him, right?
As expected, someone who has been an emperor is very good at calculating.
"Don't look at me like that." Dugu Lianyun avoided Mu Ci's scrutinizing eyes.
She looked at him as if he were a stranger.
But he was clearly her husband, and even before they had time to consummate their marriage, she had already committed herself to another man.
Mu Ci looked away and responded quietly: "Can you guarantee that you can take good care of Ah Zhen?"
This child suffered too much in the Zhou Mansion, and she also said she would take her away. But in the end, Zhou Zhen became Dugu Lianyun's tool to contain her, and she was the one who hurt Zhou Zhen.
"Of course." Dugu Lianyun answered affirmatively.
"Let me think about it." Mu Ci said and left Gui Ge.
She told Zhou Zhen about this matter, and after Zhou Zhen heard it, he said, "Then come and pick me up when your sister finishes her work. I am also lucky to be able to follow my young master Ciao."
Mu Ci looked at Zhou Zhen with complicated eyes. This girl didn't understand the twists and turns, and she didn't know that Dugu Lianyun regarded her as a bargaining chip. She fell into Dugu Lianyun's hands and was just a hostage.
How was she going to tell Zhou Zhen about this fact?
"Don't worry, sister, I will be fine and wait for my sister to pick me up." Zhou Zhen showed a bright smile.
Mu Ci felt sad. She felt that she had let down Ah Zhen, who trusted her wholeheartedly.
One is her biological sister, and Ah Zhen is her new sister. She has abandoned Ah Zhen in order to find her biological sister. Ah Zhen will be very sad if she knows that she has become the abandoned one.
"I'm afraid that Master Biao will regret it, so I'll hurry up and answer Master Biao's request. Didn't I say that I have something urgent to do? Time is running out, so I need to hurry up." Zhou Zhen said worriedly.
Mu Ciqiang cheered up.
Yes, if you find Yao'er earlier, she can come to pick up Zhou Zhen earlier. She doesn't know what the situation in the palace is now, so she has to do business first.
She hurried back to the Gui Pavilion and didn't see Zhou Zhen's darkened eyebrows.
Zhou Zhen actually understands everything.
Because Master Biao had put my sister under house arrest, she could not leave the gate of Zhou Mansion. Now Master Biao finally agreed, but he wanted to keep her as a bargaining chip to contain his sister.
She hoped that her sister could live a free life and not be trapped because of her.
She has grown up so big, and her sister is the first good person who treats her sincerely. How can it be because she can't go anywhere and can't do anything?
As for her, she has been accustomed to living in a bad environment since she was a child. Even if she dies one day, it will not be a pity.
It's just that she can't let go of her sister...
After Mu Ci met Dugu Lianyun, he quickly reached an agreement with him.
By the next day, Dugu Lianyun had prepared everything and took Mu Ci to leave the Zhou Mansion.
On the day Mu Ci left, Zhou Yueting and Zhou Sihan both came.
Zhou Sihan was very happy when she learned that Mu Ci, the scourge, was leaving. Then she learned that cousin Xiao was also leaving the Zhou Mansion, how could she be willing to do so?
When passing by the Chuihua Gate, she and Zhou Yueting bumped into each other.
She smiled coldly. Ever since that day when she learned about the hypocrisy of Wang and Zhou Yueting, she wanted to understand a lot of things.
Zhou Yueting used her hand to harm others more than once. She unknowingly became Zhou Yueting's knife and was used by him without knowing it.
Zhou Yueting saw Zhou Sihan's indifferent look and didn't take it to heart.
The two of them quickly arrived in front of the main entrance.
At this time, Dugu Lianyun was about to get on the carriage. Zhou Yueting and Zhou Sihan saw this and said in unison: "Cousin Xiao..."
Dugu Lianyun ignored him and got on the carriage.
At this time, another person came out in a hurry, it was Uncle Zhou.
He quickly came to the carriage and said, "Azhen, do you really want to leave the Zhou family?"
Zhou Zhen felt a little dazed when he heard Uncle Zhou's voice.
She had been looking forward to it for several years before she finally heard Uncle Zhou call her name. She had imagined more than once that her father could give her a little love, even a look of pity.
But looking forward and waiting, waiting and waiting, there will always be endless darkness and hurt waiting for her.
Mu Ci's eyes turned red when she saw Zhou Zhen, and she gently held the girl's hand, as if this could give her some courage.
Uncle Zhou was waiting nervously until the curtain was lifted and Zhou Zhen's face appeared in front of him.
He had never looked at this child before, but he only knew that she was very thin and very small. Probably under the care of Miss Qu, the child's complexion improved and her face grew fat.
Looking at it this way, one can see that Ah Zhen looks exactly like her mother, especially her big eyes.
It's just that the child looked at him with a completely unfamiliar look, without any warmth or tenderness...
In the end, Zhou Zhen said nothing and lowered the car curtain.
