Chapter 632: Mu Ci's journey in the harem has come to an end
"Forgive me for saying another unpleasant word. If your concubine really wants to give birth to an heir, none of us here will have any future. It's lonely in the palace, and who doesn't want to climb as high as possible? Nowadays, all the benefits are called
Concubine An can go, how can the emperor still see us sisters in the harem in his eyes?" Qi Luo said, and his eyebrows also darkened, as if he was also a fallen person from the end of the world.
For a while, the hall became quiet again.
The turbulent undercurrent in Changchun Palace dispersed with the cold wind of late winter, and surged with the cold breath in the air.
Compared with the heavy atmosphere of Changchun Palace, Yongan Palace is quiet and peaceful.
"Do you think someone can attack the royal heir of the imperial concubine?" Sizhu asked while making scented tea.
Mu Ci only replied with one word: "It's difficult."
For one thing, An Rong is a cautious person. Nowadays, Jingyang Palace is strictly guarded inside and outside, and it is not easy to break through.
Secondly, the imperial physician would check on An Rong every day. If there was anything wrong, the imperial physician would be able to diagnose it as soon as possible.
The third reason is that Dugu Liancheng values him, so the servants he serves will be more appropriate. He is afraid that if something goes wrong with An Rong's pregnancy, the emperor will blame him. That is a big crime and no one can bear it.
Here their master and servant were talking, and Yingchun hurriedly came in to remind him: "Your Majesty, the Emperor is here, he is outside."
Mu Ci didn't understand for a moment: "He will come when he comes. What did you say to me?"
Dugu Liancheng is the emperor and can go wherever he wants. She can't stop him and tell him not to come to Yong'an Palace.
Looking at Mu Ci's expression, Yingchun knew that her master was not clear about the situation, so she added in a low voice: "The emperor was wandering in front of Yong'an Palace, as if he had not made up his mind whether to go in or not. The servant was wondering, should the empress want to pick him up?"
Only then did Mu Ci know the meaning of welcoming the spring.
She hesitated for a moment and then said: "No need."
If Dugu Liancheng wants to come in, he will come naturally. If he doesn't want to come, she will pick him up and force him to come in, so why bother?
Yingchun didn't say anything else and stood by to wait.
About a quarter of an hour later, Dugu Liancheng entered with a cold look on his face.
Today he is wearing a deep purple trousers, his black hair is tied up with a jade crown, his brows are clear and his eyes are cold, just like the cold plums in late winter. Although he is good-looking, he seems a little distant, so it is best to look at him from a distance.
Mu Ci looked up at him and didn't say anything. He just made him a cup of scented tea herself.
"You came by chance. These are the flowers you picked with your own hands that day. I dried them and used them to make tea. You should also try them." As she spoke, she handed the flower tea to Dugu Liancheng.
Dugu Liancheng took a sip.
This scented tea has a refreshing fragrance that leaves your teeth and cheeks fragrant, but it’s really good.
"Not bad." The coldness in Dugu Liancheng's brows disappeared.
"As long as you don't dislike it." Mu Ci smiled.
He is the emperor and has the best food and clothing. This is her homemade scented tea, but it is not as good as the good tea he usually drinks.
Dugu Liancheng stopped talking, and Mu Ci also became quiet. She never knew how to liven up the atmosphere.
I don't know why he came today.
Dugu Liancheng seemed to be bored too, so he drank a cup of scented tea and left.
As soon as he left, Ningxiang began to educate Mu Ci again: "It's impossible for your Majesty to continue like this. Your Majesty finally comes here, can't your Majesty be coquettish?"
Mu Ci pretended to think for a while: "What does it look like to act like a baby? Come and try acting like a baby."
Ningxiang usually makes things big and small, but this time she was really confused by her master. She couldn't do it for a long time, so she could only stomp away.
When the room became quiet, Mu Ci sighed softly.
Doesn't she know what Dugu Liancheng cares about? She can play along with other things, but she can't do it emotionally.
She knew that if this continued, it would only push Dugu Liancheng further and further away, but she still couldn't take the initiative against Dugu Liancheng.
When facing Dugu Liancheng, her heartbeat did not speed up, nor did her face flush. She no longer knew how to be sincere to someone.
"Why don't you talk to Mu Yu?" Sizhu seemed to understand her troubles and gave Mu Ci some advice.
"Mu Yu?" Mu Ci was a little surprised that Si Zhu would mention her.
"Yes, she was also the second wife of the Mu family. Although she was not close to the empress when she was in the Mu mansion, Mu Yu has changed a lot recently. The empress cannot discuss things with the slaves and Yingchun, maybe Mu Yu can give the empress something
My opinion, you might as well give it a try," Sizhu said softly.
Mu Ci felt that there was some truth in what Sizhu said.
She has now reached a dead end. If this continues, her position in the harem will become more and more embarrassing. Why not ask Mu Yu, maybe she will gain something.
With Sizhu's encouragement, Mu Ci went to Yanfu Palace and soon met Mu Yu.
Mu Yu didn't expect that Mu Ci was looking for her for such a profound question. She asked quietly, "Why would the empress think of asking this slave?"
She is also emotionally blank and does not understand these things of love and love. She once had thoughts about the emperor, but it was only for profit.
"You are both an outsider and an outsider, but you are also smart." Mu Ci's words are true.
Mu Yu is indeed very smart and knows how to seize opportunities.
Mu Yu was lost in thought for a moment, then said: "Actually, I can't understand why the emperor is so kind to the empress, but is still unwilling to have a heart to heart with the emperor."
For an emperor, Dugu Liancheng's love for Mu Ci can be considered to the extreme, right?
Mu Ci was knocked down by Mu Yuwen.
She couldn't tell Mu Yu that she had been reborn. Because she had been hurt by Dugu Liancheng in her previous life, she had closed the door to her heart and could not talk to her again.
"Probably because you know that he is the emperor and has a harem of three thousand. As you said, you would rather have power than leave your future in the hands of a man. This may be the same reason." Mu Ci replied quietly.
.
Having a heart-to-heart relationship with an emperor, watching him dote on this one today and that one tomorrow, will eventually lead to her being lost. This is the reason why she always remains sober.
Furthermore, she really can't have feelings for Dugu Liancheng. This is the most fundamental reason.
Mu Yu pondered for a moment and then said: "The empress is different from the slave. The slave still has a choice now, but the empress has no retreat. If the empress wants to be a stepping stone for Concubine An and has no ambition to climb up, then she can be content with the status quo and there is no need to ask the emperor
You can also have a heart-to-heart relationship. If it's the opposite, the empress must make up her mind and give her feelings to the emperor no matter what. The emperor is an emperor, he can pamper you and let you, but if what he ultimately wants and what you give are not in line with his
I hope that the Emperor can stay away from you from now on."
So Mu Ci's journey in the harem has come to an end.
The saddest thing is that all the women in the harem rely on the emperor, and Mu Ci has no choice at all.
