Chapter 616: Deprived of the title and demoted to a commoner
"I know your difficulties. If you were in another place, if I were sitting in your position, I would make the same decision." Mu Ci raised the corners of his lips slightly.
Although she did not agree with Dugu Liancheng emotionally, intellectually, she had never doubted that having an emperor like Dugu Liancheng in Daxia was a blessing to the people of Daxia.
Otherwise, she could have really killed Dugu Liancheng two years ago, but that would also cause Daxia to lose a good king.
"It would be great if I could put aside my prejudice against you earlier..." Dugu Liancheng sighed lowly and stepped forward to take Mu Ci into his arms.
"It's impossible. It's a fact that I am Mu Zhi's daughter. Based on this alone, it's impossible for you to have a good impression of me. Moreover, I couldn't have caught your eye at that time." Mu Ci calmly analyzed for him.
So they were destined to be enemies. It was impossible for Dugu Liancheng to like her from the beginning because she was born in Mu Mansion.
She was wrong from the beginning. She was wrong in liking someone she shouldn't like. The contradictions that she couldn't see through in her previous life were now understood after she was reborn.
Dugu Liancheng didn't know how to refute Mu Ci's words.
What she said was reasonable. He could not foresee the future, and he despised Mu Zhi's daughter from the bottom of his heart. In his opinion, the fact that she was Mu Zhi's daughter was wrong.
"I don't even look forward anymore. You are the one doing big things, so what's the point of thinking about the past?" Mu Ci muttered in Dugu Liancheng's arms.
Dugu Liancheng touched her head and said nothing.
Mu Ci didn't like Niwai, so she leaned passively in Dugu Liancheng's arms and was held by him for two-quarters of an hour.
Isn't she thinking that she is going to eat? How can she eat when they are hugged together like this?
But he is the emperor, as long as he is happy.
She is now the daughter of the guilty minister, and he is the one who killed Mu Zhi. The relationship between the two of them is indeed a bit delicate.
That night, there was indeed some warmth between her and Dugu Liancheng. But the next day, everything returned to normal.
Dugu Liancheng is still the arbitrary and domineering emperor, and she is not a considerate little girl. The daily life between her and Dugu Liancheng is naturally the same as before.
Mu Ci is personally very satisfied with the current situation.
Mu Mansion was ransacked, but Dugu Liancheng did not neglect her because of this, which shows that Dugu Liancheng completely distinguished her from Mu Mansion.
Originally, she was worried that Dugu Liancheng would have a knot, but now, everything is developing for the better. This is different from the trajectory of her previous life. Her original intention at the beginning was to protect her mother and brother. Facts have proved that she is rewriting
The tragic ending of the previous life.
Even Sizhu and Yingchun noticed Mu Ci's good mood.
The empress is usually not a talkative person, but recently she talks more and has more smiles on her face.
They saw it in their eyes and felt happy in their hearts.
Although they didn't know why the empress was so happy, after all, Mu Mansion had just been ransacked, but this did not harm the empress's good mood at all.
And those who are waiting to see the queen's joke will naturally be disappointed.
In fact, many people were watching every move in Yong'an Palace, especially those who believed that Mu Ci was the one from Chenxiang Palace. They all thought that Mu Ci would be affected if Mu Zhi was convicted.
The result is the opposite.
The emperor does not go to Yong'an Palace every day as before, but he will go to Yong'an Palace every now and then. Even if he does not stay overnight in Yong'an Palace, Yong'an Palace's favor has never ceased.
The most calm person among them is none other than An Rong.
An Rong saw the emperor's affection for Mu Ci most clearly. She knew that this was what made Mu Ci special, but no matter how much Mu Ci's favor was, it was only superficial.
Since a man like Long Live Lord chose to kill Mu Zhi, there was no room left. No matter what, Mu Ci would never be able to get involved in the position of the middle palace again.
Everything seems to be the same as before, but everything has changed again.
There is no need for her to regard Mu Ci as her number one enemy now, because no matter how hard Mu Ci climbs, he can't get on top of her.
Half a month after Muzhi was executed, Dugu Liancheng's imperial edict was also issued.
Mu Xue was deprived of his title, seized the gold book and gold seal, was demoted to a commoner, and was imprisoned in the Beigong.
When Mu Xue received the news, she was already very calm.
As early as the day Mu Zhi and Lin were executed, she had foreseen her own ending. It should be said that earlier, when she was confined to the Xihua Palace and not allowed to go out for half a year, she had already thought of the worst outcome.
I received the imperial edict to abolish the concubine today, but I feel like the dust has settled.
Now she has become a lost dog and is no longer a threat to anyone.
On the third day after she was imprisoned in the North Palace, an uninvited guest came, it was Mu Ci.
"You are indeed Mu Ci." The moment Mu Xue saw Mu Ci appear, she knew that the rumors about the harem were true.
Mu Ci has left Chenxiang Palace, and she is now the emperor's concubine. However, compared to the empress dowager's noble status, the position of beauty is not worth mentioning.
It's funny that Mu Ci left Chenxiang Palace, but she entered Beigong.
She has been chasing Mu Ci all her life, thinking that one day she would be able to get ahead of Mu Ci. Two years ago, she thought she had won, because Mu Ci was sent to Chenxiang Palace by the emperor.
Who knew that she would not have the last laugh, but Mu Ci would regain his freedom.
"You and I have lived under the same roof for ten years, so I should come and see you." Mu Ci sat down gracefully.
She came here today to ask how An Rong came to power and whether it was really as the harem said.
"There is no sisterly love between you and me." Mu Xue disagreed.
Mu Ci is the legitimate daughter, and she has been aloof since she was a child. She was held in the palm of her father's hand and trained as a queen. And what about her? She has been jealous of Mu Ci all her life. She thought she could finally be on an equal footing with Mu Ci, but the fact was that she was slapped.
Remember the loud ear scratching.
"Indeed. I don't like you, and you don't like me. Although we have the same father, it's more appropriate to say we are enemies." Mu Ci looked indifferent.
She didn't see Muxue's outcome in her previous life, but Mu's family didn't have a good ending. In that life, Muxue shouldn't have a good ending, right?
"So? What is the purpose of your visit to Beigong?" Mu Xue could tell at a glance that Mu Ci's visit was not an easy one.
Mu Ci flicked his sleeves and smiled: "I like to deal with smart people."
Mu Xue looked at Mu Ci, waiting for her next words.
"I just want to know why you were banned half a year ago. When you were banned, An Rong happened to be named a noble concubine. This timeline is too coincidental. I think your defeat is inseparable from An Rong. You are the person involved,
It's right to ask you about this matter." Mu Ci stopped talking nonsense and explained the purpose of his visit.
When Mu Ci mentioned half a year ago, Mu Xue's expression darkened: "Why should I tell you? Do you think that one day you can surpass An Rong after everything has happened?"
