Among the concubines who entered the palace in the same batch as An Rong, only An Rong was the most peaceful.
At first, everyone was deceived by An Rong's so-called indifference to the world. It was only at the last moment that she realized that An Rong was the most ambitious and scheming person.
Tao Jieyu entered the palace for a year, playing a harmless and innocent role. However, Tao Jieyu was not as scheming as An Rong, and her luck was not as good as An Rong, because Tao Jieyu was exposed in public by Mu Ci.
An Rong was also criticized because An Rong was the first imperial concubine in the history of Great Xia who was granted the title of imperial concubine without being ordered to sleep with her. As long as the emperor did not order her to sleep with her for a day, the imperial concubine An Rong would not live up to her name.
Now that Tao Jieyu is restless, there will be great drama in the harem.
Liu Chongyuan had been famous for half a month, but was ignored by the emperor again, and followed Xiang Ling into people's sight again.
If you are an old man in the palace, you will find a fact. No matter which concubine the emperor favors, one of the concubines that will last forever will definitely be Xiang Ling.
Xiang Ling usually keeps a low profile and does not make any moves to compete for favors, but the emperor has always favored her, and she will be favored by the emperor every once in a while.
Mu Ci also discovered this phenomenon.
She had memories of her previous life, and of course she also knew that Xiang Ling had the same ability in her previous life. It was not surprising to her that Xiang Ling returned to her favor this time.
She was watering the water in the back garden that day, when Yingchun hurried in and whispered to her: "I discovered an interesting thing today, which your Majesty must have never thought of."
Mu Ci became interested when he heard this: "Tell me, what's the matter?"
She winked at Sizhu, and Sizhu understood and went to have a look not far away.
A palace maid named Luo Xin has come to Yong'an Palace in the past two days. This palace maid has an average appearance and a very low-key personality. She was assigned from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
At present, Mu Ci has not figured out the origin of this Luo Xin. It will not appear out of nowhere, so he has to be careful.
"Your Majesty, do you still remember Liu Xin?" Seeing Sizhu letting loose, Yingchun felt relieved and talked about business.
Mu Ci nodded: "I not only remember it, but also left a deep impression on it."
Liu Xin is a first-class palace maid who serves Muxue. The matter of Muxue's pregnancy has always been an unsolved mystery. During the days she lived in Chenxiang Palace, she finally figured out a truth. The reason why Muxue had the pregnancy was probably because
There is a mole around Muxue, so that person can get rid of the child in Muxue's belly without knowing it.
There are very few people who can get infinitely close to Muxue. After much thought, there is a high possibility that only Liu Xin is the mole.
"My slave has heard that Liu Xin and Cuizhu have a relationship," Yingchun said in a loud voice.
Mu Ci pondered, "What does this mean?"
Cuizhu is the eldest maid next to Yao Feier, and Liu Xin is the eldest maid next to Mu Xue. She probably understands what Yingchun means, but she must provide evidence for everything.
"The two of them not only interacted with each other, but also had a close friendship. The empress thought, Concubine Shu was grounded. Logically speaking, all the palace servants in Xihua Palace should be grounded. Why can Liu Xin walk around at will? It's obvious that someone is here.
The one who supports Liu Xin behind the scenes is Yao Zhaoyuan." Yingchun said enthusiastically.
Mu Ci thought there was no problem with her inference, and her beautiful eyes deepened: "I understand what you mean."
"My slave, there is no conclusion here. Your Majesty is much smarter than this slave. There are some things that I can't figure out, but your Majesty will definitely help me solve my doubts." Yingchun didn't dare to trust others. This is what the Imperial Majesty has always wanted her to understand.
"Liu Xin is indeed worthy of scrutiny. Let's call Feng Jiu in later. I have something to tell him." Mu Ci quickly made a decision.
At present, they only know that Liu Xin has a problem, but they don't know where the problem lies. Feng Jiu has many connections in the harem, so it would be right to ask him to investigate in detail.
Feng Jiu quickly accepted the job.
Before he could find out the results, something happened to the Mu family.
It is said that someone intercepted evidence of Mu Zhi's treason and collaborating with the enemy, and the implication was extensive, involving more than ten court officials.
Mu Ci had experienced this incident in her previous life, so this time the evidence of Mu Zhi's treason was conclusive, which she expected. This incident happened at about this time in her previous life, and the Mu family also perished at this time.
Because Mu Yu had helped her before, she told Mu Yu two years ago that she must find a way to separate Mu Yu's room from Mu's house no matter what.
Mu Yu listened to her advice, and the second wife of the Mu family did break away from the Mu Mansion. However, she didn't know whether the second wife of the Mu family would be affected by this incident.
No matter what, it is a blessing to be able to save your life, and the rest is not important.
At this moment, Mu Ci suddenly had an idea.
Recently, Dugu Liancheng deliberately neglected her and frequently gave orders to other concubines. Maybe it was because Mu Zhi was about to be reprimanded, right?
**
Cherish the Flower Palace.
Mu Xue has been imprisoned in Xihua Palace for half a year. She was originally determined to give up her life, thinking that she would have a chance to start over again. When she received the news that Mu Zhi had committed treason with the enemy, she lost consciousness in an instant.
When she woke up again, the sky was already dark, making the entire Xihua Palace feel like it was in the underworld, extremely cold.
"Is the news conclusive?" Mu Xue's eyes were gray and lifeless.
Lan Xin's voice was choked with sobs: "My queen, please take care, maybe things will turn around."
Mu Xue's tears fell silently: "How can there be a turn for the better after reaching this point?"
This is a crime of treason, and everyone in the Mu family will be implicated, making it impossible to escape.
As a concubine, there is no way that she will end well.
This night, Muxue was destined to have no sleep.
She anxiously waited for the news, but as soon as the news came out, even though she had expected it, she was still so stimulated that she fainted.
Mu Zhi should be punished for his crime, and Aunt Lin was not immune. To be precise, no one in the entire Mu Mansion was spared. Bai Wei, on the other hand, suddenly disappeared in Mu Mansion two months ago and disappeared without a trace.
When Mu Ci received the news, he recalled the chaotic scenes in his previous life.
The defeat of Mu Mansion that time was a fatal blow to her. She even wanted to go to Dugu Liancheng to plead her case, but at that time, she had already lived in the cold palace.
But before Mu Mansion ransacked their home, my mother and brother were already gone...
This is the first time that Dugu Liancheng has stepped into Yong'an Palace in more than a month.
He looked at Mu Ci through the bead curtain.
She was immersed in her own world under the palace lantern, and her expression was cold and cold that he couldn't see through. It was like she was separated by a layer of veil, misty and unreal.
Does she still care about Mu Zhi? Even if Mu Zhi abandons her and Mrs. Rongguo.
He knew that he would have to face her one day. What he wanted to kill was Mu Ci's biological father. Even though Mu Zhi was not worthy of being a minister, a father, or a husband.
It took a while for Mu Ci to realize that Dugu Liancheng was coming. She looked up at him and saw him standing outside the bead curtain, seeming hesitant...
