"Let Liu Jieyu be happy for a few more days. When she has the highest hope, I will take action again and kill the palace maid who doesn't know how to advance or retreat, so that Liu Jieyu will understand that she should stay safe in the harem." Shen Manyun sneered and curled his lips.
Huixin felt that her master's words made sense and she agreed.
The news that Liu Jieyu had a palace maid who looked exactly like Mu Ci quickly spread to Yanfu Palace.
After nightfall, Li Yu found an opportunity to report to Lord Long Live: "Your Majesty, you haven't been to Cuiwei Palace for a long time, right?"
If Cuiwei Palace's ditty really resembles the Queen Mother, it might make the emperor forget about the Queen Mother.
There was no movement from the Long Live Lord in the tent. Li Yu thought about it and simply spoke clearly: "I heard that Master Liu Jieyu has a new palace maid. The appearance of that palace maid is particularly surprising. She actually looks like the one from Chenxiang Palace... "
After that, the Long Live Lord on the dragon couch remained silent.
Li Yu stopped talking and stepped aside to wait. Because he knew that Long Live Lord must have listened.
Even if the owner of Chenxiang Palace cannot be seen, Long Live Lord can still take a look at other women who are similar to Mu Ci. If there is one who can replace the Queen Mother, that would be great.
In fact, even he couldn't figure out whether the emperor had completely let go of Mu Ci after two years.
He only knew that Yao Feier, who had a similar appearance to Mu Ci, had now become Yao Zhaoyuan, and An Rong, who had a similar temperament to Mu Ci, had also become the imperial concubine.
But since these two masters came to power, Long live the Lord has never ordered them to sleep with them.
This of course also shows that the emperor has always known that no matter how similar these people are to Mu Ci, they cannot be Mu Ci. The emperor knows very well in his heart.
The next day, Li Yu kept paying attention to Long Live Lord's movements.
But because Long Live Lord was busy with political affairs, he was not sure whether the emperor had listened to what he said last night and became interested in the maid who looked exactly like the Queen Mother.
If the emperor doesn't care, that's a good thing. At least it means that the emperor is no longer interested in Mu Ci. Only in this way can the emperor accept the entire harem again.
As long as there is a woman who has the ability to please the emperor and leave an heir, that is enough.
On the fifth day after Mu Ci entered Cuiwei Palace, he became a little anxious because the concubines in the harem were running to Cuiwei Palace one by one. Of course, the purpose of these people was not to establish friendship with Liu Jieyu, but to see if she was good enough. Looks like Mu Ci.
She felt like a monkey in a cage, and everyone wanted to watch her.
None of this is a big deal.
Now she is trapped in Cuiwei Palace and cannot even take a step out of Cuiwei Palace. As for asking for news about Mu Yao, that is simply impossible.
Before she entered the palace, she had not thought about the worst case scenario, but she was very confident in her face after makeup. She never expected that her face would become the focus of research by the concubines in the harem, which was contrary to what she expected. Very different.
After finally sending away the two concubines, someone came again, this time it was her old acquaintance - Shen Manyun.
Things are different now. Shen Manyun has become the Concubine Zhen, the lord of the first palace, with great pomp and circumstance.
As soon as she arrived, all the servants serving Liu Jieyu had to salute her, and Mu Ci was no exception.
She tried her best to stand in an inconspicuous position, hoping that Shen Manyun would ignore her presence.
But Shen Manyun just came for her, no matter how low-key she was, people would still hold on to her.
"I heard that there is a man made of water here, Sister Liu. His name seems to be..." Shen Manyun said halfway and looked at Huixin.
Huixin continued the conversation cautiously: "The palace maid's surname is Qu, so she should be Xiaoqu."
After Shen Manyun finished listening, his eyes were fixed on the palace maid who kept her head lowered. It seemed that this palace lady looked exactly like Mu Ci.
"Come here and let me take a look." Shen Manyun pointed at Mu Ci and gave her an order.
Mu Ci calmed down.
At this moment, she felt more and more powerful that when she was the Queen Mother, no one dared to point at her nose and speak. Now that she has become a little palace maid, everyone can point fingers at her.
She didn't want Shen Manyun to catch her sore foot, so she immediately walked to Shen Manyun and saluted politely: "My slave, I respectfully invite you to concubine Zhen, Jin'an. May your concubine be blessed."
Shen Manyun was very satisfied with the way she answered. She wanted to find fault with this girl, but she saw that she had learned the palace rules well and looked decent.
"Raise your head and let me take a look." She gave an order in a cold voice.
Mu Ci raised his head as he was told and smiled without showing his teeth.
Now is not the time to pretend to be stupid. If she is not careful, Shen Manyun will catch her where it hurts and treat her.
She knew how much Shen Manyun hated her.
as expected.
The moment Shen Manyun saw her face clearly, his eyes darkened: "You have a pretty face."
Except for the unsightly black moles on her face, the facial features of this palace maid really resembled Mu Ci.
Furthermore, the palace maid's voice sounded very similar to Mu Ci's.
No wonder there were rumors in the palace that this palace maid was very similar to Mu Ci. She thought it was exaggerated before, but now that she saw it with her own eyes, she knew the rumors were true.
If the emperor sees this maid, it may arouse the emperor's thoughts about Mu Ci again.
At this moment, a murderous intent flashed in Shen Manyun's eyes.
Mu Ci was horrified and her heart dropped.
Although Mother Chen is also on duty in the harem, she has never met Mother Chen face to face since she entered Cuiwei Palace. If Shen Manyun immediately pulls her to death at this moment, Mother Chen will not be able to save the fire from afar.
Mu Ci's mind was spinning a thousand times here, and he just wanted to stay away from Shen Manyun so as not to be caught in a painful spot by Shen Manyun.
Shen Manyun had murderous intentions and looked at Huixin.
Hui Xin understood and knew that the empress was going to kill Xiao Qu.
She looked at Mu Ci and said, "I'm thirsty, go and get a cup of tea for Concubine Zhen."
Mu Ci responded, returned to Liu Jieyu's side, and looked at Liu Jieyu quietly.
Liu Jieyu saw Mu Ci's eyes asking for help, and immediately understood that Shen Manyun was coming from an evil person.
"The little palace maid has just entered the palace, and she still hasn't learned many rules. In order to avoid bumping into Concubine Zhen, let's let Xiangqiao serve the concubine." Liu Jieyu said, looking at Xiangqiao.
Xiangqiao obediently agreed and went to pour tea.
Unexpectedly, Shen Manyun suddenly became angry and said in a cold voice: "Do I still have to use a little palace maid?"
Liu Jieyu only hated that her status was too low.
Shen Manyun made it clear that he wanted to kill Xiaoqu. If she couldn't protect him, Xiaoqu's chess piece would be wasted.
She forced a smile: "Ms. Zhenfei said something serious. I was also afraid that Xiaoqu wouldn't serve her well, so..."
Under Shen Manyun's cold gaze, she could only change her tone: "That's all, Xiaoqu, you go and pour tea for Concubine Zhen. You have to serve her carefully. You can't make a mistake or wait too long for Concubine Zhen."
