Zhitao understood and followed An Rong's instructions, only waiting for Shen Manyun to take the initiative to ask about An Rong's illness before she spoke to him.
But after waiting and waiting, Shen Manyun didn't mention An Rong's condition. Zhitao became a little anxious and looked at An Rong quietly.
An Rong coughed twice, and Zhitao understood immediately and hurriedly handed over the medicine bowl: "Ms. Zhen Fei came just in time. The master has not thought about tea or food recently, so he suddenly fell ill. The imperial doctor has diagnosed the situation for the empress. Heart disease."
Shen Manyun still lowered his head to drink tea and asked slowly: "What kind of heart disease can my sister have?"
"It's not because of Mu Meiren. I heard that the emperor wanted Mu Meiren to conceive an heir, and also said that he hoped that Mu Meiren would give birth to eight imperial heirs. From what I could see, Mu Meiren didn't care about the emperor at all, saying that he was willing to give birth to a prince for the emperor. They just want to take advantage of the prince's favor. I wonder if the emperor knows Mu Meiren's thoughts and wants Mu Meiren to become pregnant with the emperor's heir." Zhitao said with a sneer.
It is not appropriate for the Imperial Concubine to come forward and remonstrate in front of the emperor, but Shen Manyun can. The Imperial Concubine has saved Concubine Zhen many times, and now is the time for Concubine Zhen to repay her kindness.
Concubine Zhen is only useful for this.
When Shen Manyun heard this, he looked excited and stood up quickly: "The emperor is such a proud person. Let the emperor know that Mu Meiren just wants to be favored by the emperor's heir. The emperor must be very sad. Maybe he has left Mu Meiren in the cold! This palace Just go and remind the emperor..."
She was about to rush out when she suddenly remembered something serious. Her face dropped: "The emperor gave me an order three days ago. I am not allowed to appear in front of the emperor for a month. I can't disobey the order. It's a pity... "
An Rong's eyes flashed slightly: "Why didn't sister mention this to me?"
"That day after you left, I went to Yanfu Palace to look for bad luck in admiring the beauty. The emperor protected that bitch, reprimanded me, and ordered me not to show up for a month. This matter is also disgraceful. , How can I have the nerve to mention it to my sister?" Shen Manyun's expression was a little cold when she mentioned Mu Ci.
An Rong only said that she hated Mu Ci very much, and then agreed: "Mu Ci has indeed gone too far. Don't be too sad and worry about yourself. You will have many opportunities to show your face in front of the emperor in the future, so don't rush for a moment... …”
She comforted Shen Manyun once, but Shen Manyun still didn't show her face and left sadly.
Watching Shen Manyun walk away, An Rong's face sank.
She originally wanted to use Shen Manyun's mouth to tell the emperor that Mu Ci did not really want to have a son for the emperor, but she didn't know that the emperor had given Shen Manyun a command not to appear beforehand.
In this case, she could only think of another way.
After all, Mu Ci cannot be given the chance to conceive the dragon heir. This can only be done sooner rather than later.
As for Shen Manyun, after walking out of Jingyang Palace, his face became even more gloomy.
Huixin whispered: "Do you believe what I said?"
This time, the Imperial Concubine wants to use Concubine Zhen to remonstrate with the emperor. By then, the Imperial Concubine will use Concubine Zhen to get rid of Mu Ci. The Imperial Concubine will be unscathed, but Concubine Zhen will be implicated again.
In fact, this kind of thing happened more than once, but the concubine did it too cleverly, and the concubine Zhen trusted the concubine too much, so she never noticed the clues.
Today it is once again shown that the Imperial Concubine’s claim that she sincerely regards Concubine Zhen as a sister and friend is a big joke.
Shen Manyun closed her eyes and said hoarsely: "It's not appropriate to break up with her for the time being. I don't know her true identity yet, so remember not to leak the news."
Seeing that her master finally understood, Huixin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "No need to worry about it, slave."
As long as the empress sees clearly the true face of the imperial concubine, it is a good start. In the future, the empress will never be stupid enough to be used by the imperial concubine An again.
The next day, Li Waner went to Yanfu Palace to pay her respects to Dugu Liancheng, and by the way, she presented a painting to Dugu Liancheng.
Dugu Liancheng unfolded the scroll, smiled and nodded: "This painting is good."
"Your Majesty is so ridiculous in complimenting me, but I am so ashamed that I cannot live up to it." Li Waner replied in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "I also wrote a few words. How about the Emperor also giving me some advice?"
Dugu Liancheng took a look at what she had written and said only two words: "It's acceptable."
Li Waner smiled when she heard this: "The emperor will give me a calligraphy and painting anytime, I will definitely take good care of it."
But Dugu Liancheng refused in a calm tone: "I don't like to write or write, you have found the wrong person."
Li Wan'er didn't expect him to speak so bluntly. She was a little embarrassed for a moment, and the atmosphere cooled down.
She abruptly changed the subject and said: "I heard a rumor about Mu Meiren. They say that Mu Meiren doesn't like children. After meeting the eldest prince by chance yesterday, I ignored him. Someone with a temper like Mu Meiren
, I'm afraid she won't be too loving. Even if Mu Mei is lucky enough to be pregnant with the emperor's heir one day, she may not really love the child..."
Dugu Liancheng's eyes grew colder: "Did you come here just to talk nonsense?"
Li Wan'er was not afraid at all, and knelt down in front of the emperor: "Excuse me, I bluntly admit that admiring beautiful people is not a good wife and mother. Even if she gives birth to an emperor's heir one day, I'm afraid it will be because the emperor's heir is of use value to her——"
The next moment, Dugu Liancheng casually picked up the inkstone on the desk and threw it towards Li Waner.
Li Waner did not dare to dodge and was hit by the inkstone.
She endured the pain and continued: "I heard that Mu Meiren is the Queen Mother. She came to the palace this time to approach the emperor with ulterior motives. In order to deal with the emperor, I only think about the emperor and don't want the emperor to fall into Mu Meiren's trap."
Honey trap!”
"Come here, throw Concubine De out of Yanfu Palace!" Dugu Liancheng ordered coldly.
Soon the servants came in and took Li Waner into custody. Li Waner raised her voice and said: "Your Majesty, loyal words are hard to hear. Although what I say is not pleasant to listen to, it is the truth. If the Emperor doesn't believe me, you can go to Mu Meiren."
Confrontation..."
Before she could finish her words, she was already dragged away.
Dugu Liancheng's face was gloomy, and Li Yu stood far away, not daring to say anything at this time.
If he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that Concubine De was so bold and dared to criticize Mu Ci in front of the emperor.
The entire harem knows how special the emperor treats beauty Mu, and many people even know that Mu Ci is the Queen Mother. In this case, Li should understand that Mu Ci is the emperor's villain. No matter how much she is not, she should not
Mentioning it in front of the emperor will only make the emperor disgusted.
In this case, why did Li dare to argue with the emperor?
"Li Yu, do you think Mu Ci wants to give birth to my flesh and blood just because the child can bring benefits to her?" Dugu Liancheng broke the deathly silence in the room.
Li Yu did not dare to look directly at the emperor and replied in a low voice: "I don't dare to speak nonsense."
He is not Mu Ci, so he doesn't know what Mu Ci is thinking.
If Mu Ci wants to give birth to an imperial heir because it can bring her glory and wealth, then that's understandable, right?
