"Since the empress has gone, why don't you just take a look at the body? Maybe she was killed by someone in order to hide something." Yingchun whispered to Mu Ci.
Mu Ci took a deep look at her and felt that this girl had improved a lot in the past two years and was more thoughtful than before.
"Since everyone is gone, there will be no evidence left. Of course, this case will not be as simple as it seems. Jin Jieyu was clearly framed." Mu Ci replied quietly.
The death of Jin Jieyu further proves that Jin Jieyu was also a victim, so it was not part of the murderer's plan for Jin Jieyu to slap Mo Cairen.
"I remember that the empress said that the murderer might be between Jin Jieyu and Yan Meiren. Now that Jin Jieyu is dead, wouldn't the remaining Yan Meiren be the most suspicious?" Yingchun suddenly had an idea.
Mu Ci smiled: "Yes, you know how to draw inferences from one example."
This girl has completely changed compared to two years ago.
"This slave knows that your Majesty will return to the harem sooner or later. I hope that this slave will be able to help your Majesty when she comes back, instead of holding her back again." Yingchun's eyes were firm.
Mu Ci looked at Yingchun and then at Si Zhu: "Fortunately, you are all still here."
But she never thought about staying in the harem for a long time.
Dugu Lianyun's existence reminded her of how unbearable she was every moment.
"Since Yan Meiren is the biggest suspect, I'll find someone to keep an eye on Yan Meiren. I think Yan Meiren won't be the main culprit. There must be an expert behind Yan Meiren," Sizhu said after pondering.
Mu Ci thought for a while before replying: "There's no rush, there's no need to alert the snake. If Yan Meiren is the real murderer, she won't have any changes during this period, and she will keep a low profile. Even if you send someone to follow her, she won't
What's the result?"
"That's what the Queen said." Sizhu felt that what the Queen said made sense.
The three masters and servants returned to Yong'an Palace and saw Biyu waiting in the main hall.
"Good luck to you, your Majesty." Biyu saluted Mu Ci.
Mu Ci spared her the courtesy and asked, "Do you have a problem with me?"
"This slave is here for Li Yu." Biyu did not hide her intention.
Mu Ci was a little surprised: "Li Yu?"
"Your Majesty, you probably don't know yet. Li Yu said something wrong a few days ago and was punished by the emperor to do rough work in the North Palace. The servants saw that Li Yu was loyal to the emperor. Although he had many shortcomings, he was not a bad person. Even though he was not a bad person.
Even if he said something unpleasant and made the emperor angry, he wouldn't have to stay in Beigong for a few years..."
Biyu then recounted how Li Yu angered the emperor.
"Did he really say those words to the emperor?" Mu Ci was a little surprised, making her dumbfounded.
"Yes. The emperor didn't show it, but he definitely didn't like what Li Yu said, so he sent Li Yu to the North Palace. He also asked the empress to be kind and say a few nice words to Li Yu in front of the emperor. From now on, Li Yu
Jade will definitely repay the kindness of the empress." Biyu said, blessing Mu Ci.
Mu Ci murmured to himself: "Speaking of which, this incident also happened because of me. I should help him say a few nice words in front of the emperor..."
However, she didn't want to deal with Dugu Liancheng.
As Li Yu said, when she needed Dugu Liancheng, she would please him, and when she didn't need Dugu Liancheng, she would be indifferent and rude to him. She also didn't want to become a hypocrite who followed others.
"I have something I have wanted to say for a long time," Biyu said suddenly.
Mu Ci looked at her, and his reaction was a little slower than usual.
"The emperor treats the empress differently. If other concubines leave the cold palace without permission, the emperor will not forgive him lightly. The empress is different. The emperor is following the trend now. No matter what the empress has to do, please see that the emperor is sincere to the empress.
Please, the empress can stay with the emperor with peace of mind." Biyu thought that she was not a talkative person, but she still protected her master, knowing how different the emperor was from Mu Ci.
Originally, the crime of regicide should be punished, and the emperor should deal with the empress dowager. Now that the empress dowager walked out of Chenxiang Palace privately, the emperor also followed the trend and put the empress in the harem. This is enough to show that the emperor is infatuated with the empress.
Once a person like the emperor falls in love, no other woman will come into his eyes for the rest of his life. The only hope can only be pinned on the empress.
As long as the empress doesn't push the emperor away again, the two of them may have a good ending in the future, otherwise it will only be a dead end. Mu Ci will not gain anything, and the emperor will also be hurt emotionally and physically.
"Biyu, you don't understand. Dugu Liancheng and I can't have a future, and the harem is not the place where I should stay." Mu Ci murmured silently.
She didn't know how to bring up the bad debt between her and the Dugu brothers.
"If the emperor thinks it's okay, then it's okay. Don't forget, the emperor is the master of the world." Biyu replied anxiously: "If the empress has any difficulties, you might as well tell the slave, and maybe the slave can solve the problem for the queen."
Mu Ci smiled bitterly upon hearing this.
How should she tell Biyu? Should she tell Biyu that Dugu Lianyun is still alive? If this matter spreads, it will definitely cause chaos in the world.
To this day, she still doesn't know if Dugu Lianyun is interested in the throne.
"I can only tell you that I didn't lie about some things. I already have a husband." Mu Ci murmured to himself.
Biyu's face changed slightly: "Why would you tell such a lie? It can't change any outcome..."
"It's not a lie, it's the truth." Mu Ci closed his eyes and let out a breath.
Biyu's face changed slightly.
It took her a while to find her voice: "Even if this is true, it cannot change the emperor's determination to have the empress. I would like to advise the empress, never say these unpleasant words in front of the emperor again, otherwise you will definitely bring disaster!"
Even if Mu Ci really marries another person outside the palace, the emperor will definitely kill that person to avoid trouble forever!
Mu Ci gently rubbed his eyebrows: "You go, I want to be quiet."
Biyu's depression couldn't go away. She turned around and wanted to leave, but then thought of Li Yu: "I hope your Majesty can give Li Yu a few words of kindness, please."
After she finished speaking, she strode away.
Mu Ci looked at Biyu's retreating figure and thought of Li Yu who was in Beigong. She finally decided to go to Yanfu Palace.
In the Yanfu Palace, Dugu Liancheng was discussing state affairs with Gu Zhiqing. Mu Ci suddenly arrived, causing Gu Zhiqing to stare intently.
"We will consider this matter in the long term. Please leave the palace first." Dugu Liancheng issued an order to expel the guests.
Gu Zhiqing looked at Mu Ci again before hurriedly walking away.
Mu Ci cheered up and said to Dugu Liancheng: "I heard that Li Yu was thrown into the North Palace. After all, he is your servant who has been serving you for many years. What you do will chill the people who work for you."
"Are you begging for mercy on his behalf? Or is it because he said treacherous words because of your instigation?" Dugu Liancheng looked at Mu Ci with cold eyes.
