Sizhu knew that the other party had discovered her intention, so she just laughed and said: "I just miss you. Why don't you show mercy to the emperor? The emperor will definitely let you out."
"Don't mention this matter again. You take good care of Yingchun. The Ai family is living well in Chenxiang Palace. You don't have to worry." The person inside responded again.
Then the man carefully warned Sizhu, and the guard closed the door of Chenxiang Palace when he felt that the time was up.
Sizhu watched the palace door close, feeling confused for a moment.
Maybe I'm overthinking it, because the empress is in Chenxiang Palace and hasn't gone anywhere.
Although Xiaoqu looks like the empress, she cannot be the empress.
The emperor has sent so many masters to guard the Chenxiang Palace. How could the empress, a weak woman with no power to restrain a chicken, come out of it quietly?
Lieutenant Mu Du is quite capable, but Lieutenant Mu Du will not do such a treasonous thing, which is a serious crime against the Nine Clan.
Let’s go back to Cuiwei Palace.
Mu Ci hoped that Dugu Liancheng would leave quickly, but he didn't know that Dugu Liancheng was sitting in the hall and showed no sign of getting up and leaving.
Later, it was Li Yu who reminded Dugu Liancheng that there were still many memorials to review, so Dugu Liancheng strode away without looking back.
After Liu Jieyu sent the emperor off respectfully, she looked thoughtful.
The emperor was indeed attracted here today, probably because of Xiao Qu. But after the emperor sat down, he never looked at Xiao Qu, which puzzled her again.
When the emperor left just now, he didn't even look at Xiaoqu. Does this mean that to the emperor, Xiaoqu is not like the Queen Mother?
Mu Ci, the person involved, breathed a sigh of relief.
The matter isn't too troublesome. As long as Dugu Liancheng doesn't suspect her, she can get away.
But she couldn't be happy for long.
At dinner time, Dugu Liancheng suddenly came uninvited. Mu Ci, who was serving Liu Jieyu, saw Dugu Liancheng suddenly appeared, and could not hide the shock on his face. Dugu Liancheng happened to look over, and she felt guilty.
After that, he immediately lowered his head to avoid the emperor's sight.
Not to mention that Mu Ci was surprised, even Liu Jieyu was very frightened, because there was no warning before, and there was no communication before the emperor came. The emperor came directly, and she didn't even greet him.
When the emperor came, Liu Jieyu, together with the palace attendants and chamberlains around her, saluted the emperor.
Dugu Liancheng spared everyone's courtesy and sat down to eat alone.
"Sit down and have dinner with me." Dugu Liancheng ordered Liu Jieyu.
Liu Jieyu is a police officer.
The emperor suddenly came to the West Wing Hall again in the evening and had dinner with her. This was obviously because there was an extra person in her bedroom.
Although the emperor has never looked directly at Xiaoqu, she also knows that this is Xiaoqu's contribution. Otherwise, the emperor who has never set foot in Cuiwei Palace would not be able to come twice in one day.
"Xiaoqu, you serve the emperor at the table." Liu Jieyu ordered Mu Ci who was standing aside.
Mu Ci responded in a lowered voice.
She quietly glanced at Dugu Liancheng, who was having a meal, as if she was treating her as a background.
She didn't dare to make her own decision, and just stood aside and waited on her, for fear that Dugu Liancheng would find her fault.
Dugu Liancheng was very attentive while eating and seemed to have a good appetite.
Even Li Yu and Biyu discovered that the emperor ate more today than before.
"It was you who suggested to the emperor to come here for dinner?" Biyu asked in a low voice.
Li Yu replied in a low voice: "I suggested it."
As for the emperor's brisk agreement, he was also surprised. It seemed that Xiaoqu was different from others, otherwise he would not be able to arouse the emperor's interest.
Biyu didn't ask any more questions. She and Li Yu had an idea.
The two of them looked at the palace maid who was serving the emperor's meal with a tacit understanding...
After finishing the meal, Liu Jieyu naturally wanted to keep the emperor in her palace for the night.
Although she spoke in a cryptic manner, any fool would know her true intentions.
Mu Ci also heard it and couldn't help but prick up his ears to eavesdrop.
Dugu Liancheng did not give a direct answer. In the end, it was Li Yu who said: "Today's troubles have been dealt with. The emperor will settle in Cuiwei Palace?"
He smiled carefully, but his eyes glanced at Mu Ci vaguely.
When Mu Ci saw Li Yu's sneaky little moves, his heart pounded.
Two years have passed, but Li Yu still has not changed some of his bad habits, and he always likes to do unnecessary things.
"I'm not used to it." Dugu Liancheng spoke concisely and to the point. He dropped these three words and walked away.
From the moment he appeared until he left, he didn't even look at Mu Ci.
Li Yu and Biyu followed, not caring about Liu Jieyu's darkened eyes.
Mu Ci sighed in her heart. When will these days of worry come to an end? She was already thinking about quitting, but she hadn't found out about Yao'er yet.
She entered the palace in vain, could she just return empty-handed?
But if she didn't leave, she really didn't know what was waiting for her next.
She has lived two lives, but there are still times when she is naive, thinking that she can get away with just a few moles on her face, which is simply ridiculous.
Mu Ci didn't sleep well that night. As soon as she closed her eyes, she would have nightmares about Liu Jieyu sending her to the dragon bed in Dugu Liancheng. At dawn, she woke up from the nightmare.
It was so cold that I actually broke into a sweat.
It was as bright as day outside, but it turned out that it was actually snowing.
The snow in the capital is not lighter than that in Lin'an City, but has a heavier feeling. It pours down from the sky, as if it is crushing everyone to death.
Mu Ci watched the snowy scenery under the verandah for a while, and then the sky became brighter.
Half an hour later, Xiangqiao came back with Liu Jieyu. Mu Ci knew that Liu Jieyu had returned from Jingyang Palace to pay her respects.
Yes, in just two years, An Rong has already sat on the throne of Jingyang Palace. Today is different from the past. An Rong is no longer the little beauty she was back then, but has become a model for the entire harem - the imperial concubine.
I don’t know what Liu Jieyu’s thoughts were. She usually treated her well, but when she went to Jingyang Palace to pay her respects every day, Liu Jieyu never took her with her.
I don't know if she is guarding against An Rong or others.
If she just wanted to escape from the world, she would be willing to hide in Cuiwei Palace and spend the day peacefully. But if she wanted to find news about Mu Yao, staying in Cuiwei Palace all day would just be a waste of time.
Before entering the palace, she thought everything was simple and she could leave as long as she found out the clues.
After entering the palace, she finally understood the current situation. Today, two years later, she is no longer the Queen Mother, and the harem has also changed. This is no longer the harem she is familiar with.
After Liu Jieyu came back, Mu Ci served in front of her.
Liu Jieyu seemed to be in a good mood, with a faint smile on her face.
Xiangqiao was also in a particularly good mood, and rarely looked kindly to Mu Ci: "Today our master is very proud. The other masters knew that the emperor had dinner in the west wing of Cuiwei Palace yesterday, and they all flattered the master.
"
——
The most recent great master said that he asked when Emperor Zha would appear, but since he had already appeared, he stopped answering. As for the other great masters, they all said that they were for spoilers. Daqian didn’t know how to answer, so he simply didn’t reply. I have to say,
