Aren't the women in this harem struggling to survive all for the sake of power in the end? From the beginning, Mu Ci did not hide her desire for power, which is not surprising.
Why does the emperor still want to get to the bottom of it? Is it because the emperor still wants to win Mu Ci's heart?
From the moment the emperor fell in love with Mu Ci, the emperor lost some confidence when facing Mu Ci.
There were some truths that Li Yu did not dare to tell because he was afraid that the emperor would be sad.
Let’s not mention Dugu Liancheng for now.
On the other side, Li Waner was thrown out of Yanfu Palace, but she didn't look embarrassed at all.
She stood up calmly and wiped away the dust on her dress. She gently touched the painful spot where Long Live Lord had hit her just now, with a flash of sharpness in her eyes.
Yingdong chased out at this time, rushed to Li Waner and asked: "Is your Majesty okay?"
"I am very good. As long as the emperor hears my words today, he will easily become suspicious of Mu Ci in the future. One day, the emperor will believe what I say." Li Waner showed a meaningful smile and walked away.
In the evening, Mu Ci was cutting flowers in the garden, while Si Zhu was doing some work at the side.
When Dugu Liancheng arrived, he saw her busy figure.
"What are these flowers cut for?" He looked at them for a while and expressed the question in his mind.
Mu Ci did not look back and continued busy: "After drying, making tea or taking a bath, it can always come in handy."
Dugu Liancheng looked at her profile, which was dyed red by the sunset. It was more alluring than the best rouge, making her skin look like cream, as delicate as a newborn baby.
With a thought in his mind, he suddenly made a decision: "I'm here to discuss something with you and see what you mean."
He said, stepping forward to help pick flowers.
Mu Ci looked at his long and well-proportioned fingers in a daze, and the movements of his hands slowed down. How could a man's hands be so beautiful, and he didn't look feminine when picking flowers?
"What's the matter?" She was a little distracted.
"Tomorrow there will be no more Queen Mother in the world, what do you think?" Dugu Liancheng said, turning to look at Mu Ci.
Mu Ci didn't want him to talk about it.
She originally thought that there might be a chance to return to her role as Queen Mother in the future, but now she feels that there is nothing wrong with it now.
"Just make your decision, I have no objection." Mu Ci's voice was calm.
"Do you feel it's a pity? I remember that you always said that being the Queen Mother was a good thing and that your status was respected, but you also felt that you were wronged by being my concubine." When Dugu Liancheng said this, his eyebrows softened a little: "Won't you regret it? From now on you will be like this.
There is no more Queen Mother in the world, but only my admirer."
"I won't regret it. You can handle everything. But the premise is that Mrs. Rong Guo and Captain Mu Du must know that I am still alive." Mu Ci replied with certainty.
I don’t know if it was her imagination, but he was clearly smiling, but she thought he was very sentimental. How could a person like Dugu Liancheng be associated with such a word as sentimental?
Dugu Liancheng picked a pink flower and tied it in her hair: "Mu Ci, did you really enter the palace just to find Mu Yao?"
Mu Ci touched the flower buds on her temples and asked, "What else?"
At the beginning, she just wanted to find out Mu Yao's whereabouts and left the palace. She never thought of disturbing Dugu Liancheng.
"Then why do you suddenly want to have children for me?" Dugu Liancheng continued to pick flowers, looking careless.
No matter how slow Mu Ci was, he still noticed something strange about him.
"I didn't think too far. It seemed that sooner or later I would have to conceive a child. If I did, I would give birth. If I couldn't give birth to a child, I wouldn't feel too bad because I didn't know whether I would be a good mother.
." Mu Ci seemed to be talking to himself, but these were also the words from his heart.
In the past, she would reject giving birth to a child for Dugu Liancheng, but now her fate is linked to that of Dugu Liancheng, so it is only a matter of time before she gives birth to an heir.
Dugu Liancheng touched her head, and Mo Ran felt that his temptation was meaningless.
She has always had this kind of temperament, and she was not willing to be with him. It would be ridiculous to worry about it now.
It was probably because Li Waner's desperate attitude had shaken his mind.
"I think you will be a good mother." Dugu Liancheng said, picking some more flowers.
After that, he watched Mu Ci put the flowers in a ventilated place to dry. Her movements were skillful and natural, as if she had done it thousands of times.
"Have you often done these things in Chenxiang Palace?" Dugu Liancheng suddenly had an idea.
"I also planted a large field of flowers in the garden of Chenxiang Palace. When the flowers bloom in each season, I pick them and dry them in the sun. Some flowers can be used as medicine, and some can be used to make wine. For example, hibiscus flowers are used to make soup.
It tastes good too." Mu Ci said gushingly.
Dugu Liancheng looked at Mu Ci intently and found it very strange. This woman seemed to know a little bit about everything.
Her pair of water-cut autumn eyes seemed to be enveloped by a thin layer of light smoke, and they were so beautiful that they were almost dreamlike.
"Making hibiscus soup? I want to try it."
"It's not the flowering period of hibiscus now. When it comes, I'll make a bowl for you to try." Mu Ci smiled.
"You remember, you can't say something without trusting it." Dugu Liancheng's face no longer looked heavy.
Seeing that Dugu Liancheng's mood finally improved, Mu Ci knew that he had passed another level.
Although he still didn't know what happened, it was someone who was gossiping in front of Dugu Liancheng, which made him suspicious of him, and then he tested her words again and again.
After coaxing the emperor, she quietly asked Sizhu to go to Yanfu Palace and asked Sizhu to ask Mu Yu what happened in Yanfu Palace.
Sizhu quickly returned to Mu Ci and told Li Waner everything about causing trouble.
Mu Ci was a little stunned after hearing this.
It is unlikely that someone like Li Waner would do such a reckless thing. Even if Dugu Liancheng becomes suspicious of her, or if Dugu Liancheng neglects her because of this, what benefits can Li Waner get from it?
But the most obvious disadvantage is that Li Waner will be rejected by Dugu Liancheng.
Li Waner doesn't seem to be a stupid person, how could she do such a stupid thing?
After this battle, Dugu Liancheng not only did not neglect her, but got closer to her. As for Li Waner, she must have made the emperor unhappy this time, otherwise Dugu Liancheng would not have thrown her out of Yanfu Palace in broad daylight.
Now the entire harem knows that Li Waner has offended Shengyan and has become a person despised by everyone today.
Early the next morning, bad news came from Chenxiang Palace: Queen Mother Mu passed away.
As soon as this news came out, the whole country was shocked. It was widely spread that the reason why the Queen Mother died was because she was ordered to die by her Majesty.
Mrs. Rong Guo also received the news early in the morning, but because news came from the palace earlier that Mu Ci had changed her identity, she felt calm when she received the news.
As for the harem, it was a bit strangely quiet, because many people had received the news that Mu Mei was the real queen mother.
