Mu Ci felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this.
She knew this was her mother's excuse. Her mother must have thought that she was still in Chenxiang Palace. Under such circumstances, how could her mother come to this lively New Year's Eve banquet?
"Your Majesty, it's cold here. I want to go back and rest first." Mu Ci also lost his mood and planned to leave first.
"I will accompany you." Dugu Liancheng also felt bored, and then asked King Ling'an to continue sitting with him, while he took Mu Ci and left Changyin Pavilion.
The night is peaceful.
The watery moonlight poured in, lengthening the shadow of the palace wall, making it feel a little more deserted and lonely.
Mu Ci looked a little lonely. She just missed home and her mother.
"If you want to see Mrs. Rong Guo, can I accompany you out of the palace immediately?" Dugu Liancheng suddenly said to Mu Ci before he was about to get on the chariot.
Mu Ci was stunned: "Is this okay?"
"I have a way for you to see Mrs. Rongguo, let's go." Dugu Liancheng is a man of action, so he immediately turned around and headed towards Lantian Gate.
Mu Ci felt uneasy and didn't know whether to stop.
Intellectually, she feels that it is not appropriate to see her mother at this time. She is currently unable to protect herself and does not want to drag her mother down. But emotionally, she hopes to reunite with her mother on a happy reunion day like New Year's Eve.
After this hesitation, the carriage she and Dugu Liancheng were riding in had already walked out of the palace gate.
Dugu Liancheng seemed to know the hesitation in her heart, and just patted her hand: "No need to worry, I have secretly sent someone to protect Mrs. Rongguo. No matter whether Mrs. Rongguo is reunited with you or not, no one else can hurt Mrs. Rongguo."
Mu Ci was speechless for a moment, looking at Dugu Liancheng and not knowing what to say.
He did all this for her, but she could not repay him with anything more than a thank you.
"Just think that my life is too boring and I want to do something to kill time." As if he knew her troubles, Dugu Liancheng added.
Mu Ci didn't say anything more, just leaned on his shoulder and whispered: "Thank you."
Dugu Liancheng's eyes darkened and he said nothing more.
Soon Yaju arrived. According to the plan, Mu Ci should go inside to reunite with Mrs. Rongguo, but because she was timid about being close to home, Mu Ci hesitated again.
"Next time." Mu Ci suddenly understood.
If her mother knew that she was now in the harem as a beauty, she would be worried about her. When her brother knew about her situation, he would be worried about her too.
Now is not the right time, she will not meet her relatives until she is strong enough.
Dugu Liancheng did not expect that Mu Ci would retreat to Tanggu. Seeing Mu Ci get on the carriage and want to go back to the palace, he stopped her and said: "Since you are here, it is not too late to take a look at Mrs. Rongguo before leaving."
As he spoke, he called Jirou to him and gave him these instructions.
Afterwards, Mu Ci changed into Si Zhu's clothes and followed Ji Rou into Yaju.
When Ji Rou and Mrs. Rongguo met, Mu Ci lowered his eyes and stood far away, not approaching Mrs. Rongguo.
Mrs. Rong Guo seemed to sense it, and glanced in the direction of Mu Ci from time to time. Even though Mu Ci lowered his head, she still felt that the figure looked very much like Mu Ci.
"That's it?" She couldn't help but asked Jirou about the palace man standing not far away.
"It's the palace servant who serves the emperor. The emperor was worried when he saw that his wife had never entered the palace, so he ordered his servant to come and visit his wife..." Jirou changed the subject without leaving any trace.
Mrs. Rong Guo couldn't ask any more questions, so she talked to Ji Rou for another quarter of an hour before Ji Rou left.
Mrs. Rongguo looked at where the palace man was standing just now, and found that the palace man was no longer there.
The image of that palace servant is very impressive. I wonder if the child is well in Chenxiang Palace...
When Ji Rou caught up with Mu Ci, she found that Mu Ci's eyes were red.
She couldn't bear it: "If your Majesty doesn't want to let go of Mrs. Rongguo, then tell Mrs. Rongguo the truth. Today is the 30th of the New Year——"
"It's just a few feelings. It's okay. Let's go back to the palace." Mu Ci said and left Yaju without looking back.
She has always been a cruel person, and only in this way can she achieve great things.
It seemed that after knowing that Dugu Lianyun was not dead, her heart became even harder.
There is really nothing in this world that no one can fault, only endless benefits. She is destined to struggle and sink in a place like the harem, and she enjoys it.
There is nothing wrong with this. Now she also likes power, and all of this was given to her by Dugu Liancheng.
In the previous life, she wanted Dugu Liancheng's sincerity, but in this life, she wanted to borrow Dugu Liancheng's power. She should have grown up, right?
Mu Ci got into the carriage with the help of Dugu Liancheng. She reluctantly took one more look at Yaju before lowering the curtain.
After the carriage they were riding in moved away, a carriage hidden at the corner of the street also moved its curtains. A woman in a snow-green horse-faced skirt looked at the sparks hidden in the night, and murmured to herself: "This way
It’s good for you and me, isn’t it?”
Mu Ci is suitable to survive in the harem. If Mu Ci is willing, she can stand in the most honorable position...
While I was still sleeping the next day, I read a lot of poems, hoping that the emperor would expel the enchantress Mu Meiren from the harem. I don’t know if she was stimulated by this news, but Mu Ci was bedridden from the beginning of that day.
Mu Ci has not been able to recover from his illness for a long time, and he can't even get off the bed.
Seeing her losing weight day by day, Dugu Liancheng also lost his temper and transferred several officials who had been reported to leave the capital during the Spring Festival.
People say that a flash of anger can bring beauty, and what the Holy Lord did today is not far off.
Even so, Mu Ci's illness still showed no improvement, with good and bad times, and he became less talkative. Many imperial doctors examined Mu Ci and the results were the same. He still needed heart medicine for his heart ailments.
"I really don't have anything wrong with me. I just don't want to eat. I've become a little lazy. Why do you need to mobilize all the troops?" Mu Ci said to Dugu Liancheng alone when he saw that all the imperial doctors were still surrounding him.
"Because this is a heart disease. You don't feel sick, but you are really sick. Be good, be obedient, and drink this bowl of medicine. Don't worry, no one will threaten me to do something I don't want to do, and my harem won't be able to do it.
Others will have their say."
Dugu Liancheng felt that Mu Ci's heart was harder to guess than before. With a temperament like Mu Ci's, he would never suffer for the inappropriate remarks of several officials, but since the New Year's Eve banquet, Mu Ci had always been listless.
This situation is naturally inappropriate, but the real cause cannot be found.
Seeing that his lobbying was ineffective, Mu Ci stopped making futile efforts.
The next day she got up early, put on a smart new dress, applied a light powder, and then had breakfast.
When Dugu Liancheng came over, he saw Mu Ci's radiant appearance. He didn't look as sick as yesterday, and he seemed to be in much better spirits.
"Are you feeling better?" Dugu Liancheng looked at Mu Ci's face carefully, as if he wanted to see some clues from her expression.
