Under the light of the lights, the beaded curtain looked jewel-like, and even Dugu Liancheng looked full of nobility.
He is the king of a country, above tens of thousands of people, and holds the power of life and death for all people in the world. How can he not be noble?
"Why are you stuck at the door?" After suppressing his complicated thoughts, Mu Ci asked loudly.
She also didn't expect that at this critical moment, Dugu Liancheng would actually come to see her. Wasn't he afraid that others would know that she was the Queen Mother and Mu Zhi's biological daughter?
Dugu Liancheng stepped inside and asked casually: "What were you thinking about just now?"
I didn't even notice he was coming.
"I'm just remembering some past events." Mu Ci's voice was calm, and he stroked the lines of his sleeves with his fingers.
Dugu Liancheng was silent. He thought the past events she was talking about were those in Mu Mansion.
When Mu Ci saw that Dugu Liancheng suddenly stopped talking, he remembered his identity and her identity.
"You discovered early on that you and I have been on opposite sides from the beginning. You see it more clearly than I do. I didn't understand why you didn't like me before, but then I understood." Mu Ci said softly.
Dugu Liancheng is very competent as an emperor. If there are sycophants in the court, he will naturally try his best to eliminate them. Even before he ascended the throne, he discovered that she and he can only be enemies, not lovers or husband and wife, right?
I just sighed that at that time, she only had love and love in her eyes, and the distance between them could not be broken.
"You and Mu Zhi have severed the father-daughter relationship and have no relationship with him anymore, so we have never been enemies." Dugu Liancheng replied slowly.
"But it is his blood that flows in my body. Because of him, I am the only one who exists in the world. This is an indisputable fact. If you keep me by your side, aren't you afraid that one day I will avenge Mu Zhi?" Mu Ci blushed lightly.
lip.
You must know that she is a very vicious woman. She has committed regicide before, and it would not be surprising if she did it again.
Hearing this, Dugu Liancheng chuckled: "No, you won't. I understand you. When you chose to break up with Mu Zhi, he was no longer your father. How could you really care about him for someone who doesn't deserve it?"
people at risk?"
He was still a little nervous before coming to see her like this, but now he was completely relieved.
She is a person who can distinguish between right and wrong. In fact, as early as two years ago, she had expected today's result, so she chose to break up with Mu Zhi at all costs.
Mu Ci just smiled and did not discuss the topic further.
She couldn't tell him that she was so transparent because she had lived a lifetime.
What makes her sad is that just because she is Mu Zhi's daughter, the way she can go in the harem is limited, and concubines with too high status may not have her share. If she can be her empress dowager, at least she will still be in this harem
The most noble person among them.
I wonder if she will find an appropriate opportunity to discuss this matter with Dugu Liancheng in the future and whether he will allow her to return to the position of Queen Mother.
At the moment, it is naturally not suitable to discuss this matter with Dugu Liancheng.
"I came here today to ask you, do you want to see them one last time?" Dugu Liancheng said the second purpose of his visit.
The first purpose is to know if Mu Ci is okay after knowing that Mu's house was raided. The second purpose is to think that she is Mu Zhi's daughter, and maybe she wants to see Mu Zhi one last time.
"Of course I want to see you." Mu Ci responded.
After all, it was a father-daughter relationship, and Mu Zhi's blood was flowing in her body, so they should meet.
"I will make arrangements, and you can go see him tomorrow." Dugu Liancheng happily agreed.
Mu Ci thought of Lin Yun again: "I still want to meet Mr. Lin."
It's a pity that Mrs. Lin can't remember what happened in her previous life. Otherwise, Mrs. Lin's expression would have been wonderful.
In the afternoon of the next day, under the arrangement of Dugu Liancheng, Mu Ci met Mu Zhi who was imprisoned in the prison.
Mu Zhi didn't sleep all night and was seriously depressed. He was afraid that if he closed his eyes, he would never wake up again.
Naturally, he did not expect that Mu Ci, who was originally in Chenxiang Palace, would suddenly appear in front of him.
At this moment, Mu Ci's face was cleansed, and it was her original plain face.
"Aren't you in the cold palace?!" He couldn't hide the strange look on his face, and then he suddenly became excited: "Daughter, you came just in time. With your skills, you must be able to save me."
Mu Ci looked calm, as if he couldn't see the excitement in Mu Zhi's eyes.
Mu Zhi's smile gradually dimmed, "Even now, are you unwilling to save my father? Ci'er, do you still remember that when you were a child, you loved chasing after your father..."
"Mr. Mu, today I am not here to reminisce about the past, let alone the relationship between father and daughter. When I was a child, I was not sensible and thought that my father was good to me because he truly loved me. Only after I entered the palace did I realize that it was because I had
Value." Mu Ci interrupted Mu Zhi's tirade.
Mu Zhi's face looked very ugly: "No matter what, I am your father, and my blood is flowing in your body. If I die, you will not get any benefits. Do you think you can prosper without the support of the family in the harem?
?"
"So until now, people in Mu still care about power, right?" Mu Ci smiled sarcastically.
How could she think that even if a person is about to die, his words are good?
Mu Zhi never cared about family ties, nor did he regard her as his daughter.
"These things are not important at all now. What is important is that I will be executed soon. You are my daughter and you should save me." Mu Zhi's eyes turned red.
"Then answer me truthfully, is it true that you collaborate with the enemy and treason?" Mu Ci asked with a straight face.
A trace of hesitation flashed in Mu Zhi's eyes. He didn't know Mu Ci's intention when he asked. If he answered yes, would she not save him?
But she had committed the crime of regicide, so Mu Ci and he must have been united in wanting to bring down Dugu Liancheng.
After hesitation, he still chose to tell the truth: "The current emperor is arbitrary and unfit to be the emperor of Daxia. I am just sharing the worries of the people and want to choose another wise emperor..."
Mu Ci's remaining hope was dashed.
Mu Zhi was rotten from body to bone. How could she still have expectations for such a person?
She originally thought that maybe Dugu Liancheng wanted to get rid of Mu Zhi so much that she imposed the charge of collaborating with the enemy and treason on Mu Zhi. It turned out to be her wishful thinking.
Presumably, in the previous life, Mu's house was ransacked because of Mu's treachery to the enemy, so Dugu Liancheng eliminated the entire Mu family, right?
After calming down the surging emotions, Mu Ci asked the last question: "In these years, have you ever felt a little bit ashamed of my mother? Or, in other words, have you ever regretted neglecting my mother?"
Mu Ci didn't know why he wanted to hear Mu Zhi say it himself even though he knew the answer.
"Your mother is just an ignorant woman. During the years when she was married to your father, he fed her well, housed her, and raised her. He thought he had no regrets for her in any way——"
