However, Shen Manyun has a stubborn temper and only wants to vent her anger on An Rong.
She rushed to Yanfu Palace as quickly as possible.
The guards guarding outside Yanfu Palace did not stop Shen Manyun when they saw her. She had an unimpeded journey and soon arrived in front of Xinuan Pavilion.
When Li Yu saw Shen Manyun coming, he immediately blocked her way: "Mother Zhen, please stop!"
"I have important matters to see the Emperor. Get out of the way!" Shen Manyun ordered coldly.
She will never forget that when Mu Ci was the Queen Mother, she was dragged out and beaten with a cane in full view of the public. Later, she was demoted because of Mu Ci.
She has been looking for an opportunity to take revenge. Now that Mu Ci has become a beauty, and she is already Concubine Zhen, she wants to see if Mu Ci can still be as bossy as before when facing her!
"Your Majesty is busy at the moment and does not have time to see your Majesty. Your Majesty, please come back." Li Yu replied in a neither humble nor overbearing tone.
Shen Manyun sneered when he heard this: "Li Yu, stop using chicken feathers as arrows. I want to see the emperor, how dare you, a slave, stop me?!"
After she finished speaking, she was about to pass by Li Yu and rush into Xinuang Pavilion.
However, Li Yu ducked out of the way, barely blocking her way, but still smiled and said in a loud voice: "Why don't you support Concubine Zhen when you come? If Concubine Zhen makes a mistake, can you afford it?"
As soon as he spoke, the four maids waiting not far away immediately stepped forward and stopped Shen Manyun at the same time.
Shen Manyun refused to give in and insisted on breaking into the Nuan Pavilion. It was very lively for a while.
Just when the two sides were about to have a physical conflict, Dugu Liancheng's voice came from inside: "Let Concubine Zhen come in."
The four maids who were blocking Shen Manyun quickly retreated to their original positions after hearing this. Shen Manyun gave them a cold look before striding inside.
When she saw the scene clearly, her face turned ugly.
Just because Mu Ci and Dugu Liancheng were sitting on the dragon chair together, Dugu Liancheng still held her hand and looked very intimate.
That was a world that no one else could enter, and that was what she had longed for most since entering the palace.
She hoped to be held in the emperor's arms, kissed by him, and cared for by him, but all his tenderness was given to Mu Ci. No wonder when Mu Ci appeared as Xiao Qu, she immediately wanted to kill Mu Ci, because Her intuition told her that Mu Ci was her enemy!
When Dugu Liancheng looked at Shen Manyun, the tenderness in his eyes disappeared, leaving only coldness: "Fei Zhen, why do you want to forcefully break into Nuan Pavilion?"
Shen Manyun did not dare to look directly into Dugu Liancheng's eyes. She lowered her head and said, "I heard that the emperor was busy with government affairs and was really worried about the emperor's dragon body. I just acted rashly. Please forgive me."
Dugu Liancheng took a deep look at Shen Manyun: "As a concubine, you must have the magnanimity a concubine should have. If there is another time, you will never scratch her lightly!"
"It's true, Your Majesty, you don't know how to show mercy to such a delicate beauty like Concubine Zhen. Concubine Zhen wants to be the emperor, so she eagerly comes over to compete for his favor." Mu Ci found a comfortable position next to Dugu Liancheng, Smiling as bright as a flower, she looked like a bewitching concubine in power.
Shen Manyun raised his eyes, and when he saw this scene, his eyes were red with anger.
She quickly lowered her head, pretending not to hear Mu Ci's sarcasm.
"By the way, the imperial concubine also came here not long ago, but was blocked from the Nuan Pavilion and could not come in. The imperial concubine is sensible and has never forced her way in without being polite like Concubine Zhen. What's interesting is that the imperial concubine and Concubine Zhen have a close friendship. It can't be that the noble concubine came to Concubine Zhen to complain, and besides, the concubine was resentful towards me, so she didn't take any action, but she groomed Concubine Zhen to compete for her favor, right?" Mu Ci added with a smile.
As soon as Shen Manyun heard Mu Ci's words, she retorted: "This matter has nothing to do with the imperial concubine. Please stop trying to sow discord between me and the imperial concubine!"
As soon as she opened her mouth, she received a cold look from Dugu Liancheng. Then she remembered that this was Yanfu Palace, and the emperor was here. She behaved evilly in front of the emperor. How did the emperor think of her?
It was Mu Ci, a vicious woman, who made her lose all face in front of the emperor.
"I just think it's a coincidence. Even if the imperial concubine is blocked out, why would she push you out to make the emperor unhappy? In other words, the imperial concubine didn't go looking for you just now?" Mu Ci said, looking at Shen Manyun intently. .
Shen Manyun didn't want to lie, she opened her mouth but didn't answer.
An Rong did come to see her, but An Rong never let her come to seek bad luck. It was because she couldn't calm down that she ran to Yanfu Palace.
But what Mu Ci said was An Rong stirring up trouble, and An Rong was not such a person.
"Your Majesty, let's talk to Concubine Zhen. I'm going back, so that Concubine Zhen and Imperial Concubine won't think I'm blocking their way again." Mu Ci said and stood up.
"Go back after dinner." Dugu Liancheng held Mu Ci's hand and showed no sign of letting go.
He looked at Shen Manyun coldly: "Concubine Zhen, please step aside. Don't appear in front of me for the next month. I don't want to see your face!"
Shen Manyun did not expect that Dugu Liancheng would issue such an order, and she burst into tears: "Your Majesty..."
When she met Dugu Liancheng's cold eyes, all her tears stopped and her heart became cold.
"I would like to express my gratitude to Your Majesty for your kindness. Long live our Emperor!" Shen Manyun accepted the order to express his gratitude and left Yanfu Palace.
Huixin also heard the conversation between Mu Ci and Shen Manyun just now. She said calmly: "I think Mu Meiren's words are reasonable. It was clearly the imperial concubine who deliberately revealed the news to the empress. The empress vented her anger on behalf of the imperial concubine, but it was the empress who was blamed - —”
"Shut up, An Rong is not like that, she is my best friend in the palace!" Shen Manyun blushed and growled at Huixin.
She couldn't doubt An Rong. It was An Rong who helped her and saved her time and time again. How could An Rong only treat her as a pawn?
If An Rong befriended her just to use her, why couldn't she notice it?
"Your Majesty, I have something I have been saying for a long time. Your Majesty truly regards Concubine An as a friend and ally, but Concubine An does not regard her as one of her own. Your Majesty always feels that she owes Concubine An a lot. Concubine An has done it several times. He came to help, but in that battle two years ago, Concubine An committed the crime of regicide, and it was the empress who brought Concubine An back from the gate of hell." Hui Xin said every word.
She had long felt that An Rong was not a good person. On the surface, she was doing it for Concubine Zhen, but in fact, Concubine An would only come to see Concubine Zhen when she needed Concubine Zhen.
This time, Concubine An also relied on Concubine Zhen to help her admire the beauty.
Shen Manyun's eyes widened, glaring at Hui Xin angrily, Hui Xin was not afraid at all: "Even if the empress feels that the slave's words are unpleasant, these are all facts. The empress should think carefully about everything she has done with Concubine An over the years. It's not too late. .”
She was afraid that one day her mother-in-law would die for Concubine An, and she was still speaking for Concubine An.
