Chapter 581: The Mystery of Mu Yao's Disappearance
Mu Ci turned to look at Dugu Liancheng. Facing such a stunning beauty, he was calm and composed, as if the person in front of him was just an unscrupulous woman.
Mu Ci couldn't help but sigh.
She suddenly felt that a man like Dugu Liancheng might not be a good man. Although he was in a high and powerful position, he never indulged in female sex, which was the most valuable thing.
The only difference between Dugu Liancheng and Dugu Lianyun is that Dugu Liancheng has a harem of three thousand, but those are just decorations.
But Dugu Lianyun was more kind than Dugu Liancheng, at least he didn't have so many harem concubines buried with him.
Mu Ci was not even in the mood to act that day. She leaned against Dugu Liancheng softly and softly, "Your Majesty, I don't want to see A'luo. Please tell her to go away."
Seeing her lack of interest, Dugu Liancheng didn't bother her, so he gave an order to A'rao: "You are on patrol tonight and you are not allowed to hang around here."
A'luo bit her lower lip lightly, her eyes full of grievance, and she replied softly: "Yes, Your Majesty."
Before she left, she took a special look at Dugu Liancheng, but she saw that the emperor's eyes were all on Mu Ci. How could there be room for her?
In terms of appearance, she is no worse than Mu Ci; in terms of figure, Mu Ci is not as good as her Wanyi.
Why would the emperor neglect her because of Mu Ci?
The moment she stood under the eaves of the palace, heavy snow fell, and she finally couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Why are you crying?! The emperor is currently intoxicated in the gentle land, but he can't see how stupid you are." Amei's voice sounded behind Arao.
Aluo hurriedly wiped away her tears.
The snowflakes hit her face like icicles, which hurt her, but not as much as the pain in her heart.
The emperor is a man who is very easy to seduce. She was just pretending to be a real person, and she actually had true feelings for the emperor that she shouldn't have.
Even if chess pieces like her and Amei were chosen by the emperor one day, they would only be used as wedding clothes for the noble concubine.
"It's been all these days, but you still haven't gotten the emperor to like you. We don't have much time." Amei took Arao's hand and whispered, "Why don't we be more ruthless."
A'luo shook his head hastily: "No!"
Even if things come true, the emperor will not let her go. After these days of observation, she knows that the emperor is not a person who pays attention to beauty. Looking at the emperor's political achievements since he ascended the throne, she knows that the emperor is not the kind of person who can be manipulated casually.
"Then do you think that the emperor looked down on you before, but will look upon you in the future?" Amei sneered suddenly.
A'luo's face turned red, and it took her a while to hold back a sentence: "That's not possible either."
Then the emperor will look down upon her.
After she finished speaking, she turned away and started patrolling the night.
Ah Mei looked at Ah Rao's back with a sneer on her lips. Who really thinks that she is a person?
In the dormitory, Dugu Liancheng sent Arao away and suddenly asked Mu Ci, "What were you thinking about just now?"
Mu Ci just shook his head: "Nothing."
She was thinking about Ah Zhen. On a snowy day, she just misses people when she sees things. At first she knew that Du Lianyun kept Ah Zhen as a hostage, but she still entered the palace without hesitation.
Later, she entered the palace and became a concubine in the harem, which was equivalent to completely abandoning Ah Zhen.
Even if Dugu Lianyun killed Ah Zhen in the end, it would still be her fault.
In the final analysis, she owed Ah Zhen. If Ah Zhen had still stayed in the Zhou Mansion, even though he would have suffered a little bit, he might still be able to live a long time, right?
"Really?" Dugu Liancheng's thin lips curled up slightly, and he suddenly put down the cup heavily.
Because of this strange sound, Mu Ci came back to her senses. She saw half of Dugu Liancheng's face hidden in the light, looking gloomy, cold, and indescribably deep.
Her eyes flashed slightly and she smiled bitterly and said: "That's all, I've wanted to ask you something for a long time. After my sister Mu Yao entered the palace, I heard that she was getting close to you. I just want to know how her disappearance is related to you.
Does it matter?"
Dugu Liancheng didn't expect that she would ask about Mu Yao: "Are you thinking about Mu Yao just now?"
"What else? I entered the palace because of Yao'er. Otherwise, there is no need for me to throw myself into a trap. Mu Yao entered the palace four months ago and has been missing for more than a month. Others don't care about her life or death. I
How can I not care about this sister?" Mu Ci's eyes were fixed on Dugu Liancheng's face.
Dugu Liancheng's expression was upright, and his eyes were also magnanimous.
"When she first entered the palace, she often went to Yanfu Palace to look for me. Sometimes she simply stayed in Yanfu Palace in order to get me to let you go. There were fewer visits in the second month after entering the palace.
She appears once every four or five days, and then never comes again. When I realized something was wrong, she had already disappeared into the harem. If she really disappears, it has nothing to do with me." Dugu Liancheng raised his thin lips slightly.
Seeing Mu Ci's silence, Dugu Liancheng raised his eyebrows slightly: "Do you think I killed her?"
"How is that possible? How can you, a majestic emperor, have trouble with a little girl? Even if you want to kill her, you will do it openly." Mu Ci replied quietly.
"It's not too stupid." Dugu Liancheng held Mu Ci's hand as he spoke: "When did you leave Chenxiang Palace?"
Mu Ci didn't expect that Dugu Liancheng would suddenly jump to this question. She was not mentally prepared and had a moment of confusion.
"About half a year ago."
She wondered, was Dugu Liancheng going to interrogate her?
"Who rescued you?" Dugu Liancheng pulled Mu Ci and sat down on the edge of the bed.
Mu Ci looked at the palace lantern placed in the corner. This was an octagonal palace lantern with dragons and phoenixes in auspicious shapes. It was so colorful that it was difficult to see what was going on at first glance, just like the emperor's thoughts at the moment.
"I didn't wake up until I arrived in Lin'an City. I was trapped in the Qu family at that time. As for my savior, I didn't meet him until later. That person was a man. I lived in the Qu family for about half a year before officially
I met my benefactor. He never showed his true face to others, and I never saw that man’s face. I lived in Qu’s house for half a year. Although I was rescued, I always felt that people were secretly monitoring my every move.
A movement. Later, someone gave me a message saying that Mu Yao was missing in the harem..."
Mu Ci spoke eloquently, her voice neither fast nor slow.
She knew that Dugu Liancheng would ask about this matter sooner or later, so she prepared a story in the hope of getting through.
She was not lying in her story, she just changed the Zhou family to the Qu family. At first, Dugu Lianyun did not show his face, and even if he did show his face, it was as Xiao Ziyan.
Dugu Liancheng looked directly into Mu Ci's eyes. Her eyes were as clear as water, full of water, and even sincere, as if she was telling the truth.
"You mean you are under house arrest?" Dugu Liancheng asked slowly.
"It's like I live in Chenxiang Palace. But I am the only one in Chenxiang Palace, and there are many people living in the Qu family, and there are three servants who serve me. My benefactor provides me with good food and accommodation, and the servants also serve me well.
.I am a happy-go-lucky person. After living in Chenxiang Palace, I never thought that I would leave one day. I can be at ease and contentedly after entering the Qu family."
