Dugu Liancheng lightly raised his lips: "If you like more people, then keep them. If you don't like them, just throw them away. It's not a big deal."
Mu Ci knew that Dugu Liancheng was easy to talk to, so his words were not surprising at all.
Didn't he ever wonder why Lan Xin was dealt with, but Liu Xin was fine?
Is he really confused or is he pretending to be confused? This is not clear.
"In that case, I will stay here. Liu Xin, be on duty from now on. You can go down." Mu Ci gave the order.
Liu Xin kowtowed respectfully and exited the inner hall in a polite manner.
When Mu Ci saw her walking away, he asked: "If you come here in the future, come openly. Stop being sneaky and letting people see you. It will harm your emperor's face."
The main thing is that she is on guard against Liu Xin now. If Dugu Liancheng suddenly comes over in the middle of the night, why not let Liu Xin know that he has done this kind of thing before?
Dugu Liancheng looked at Mu Ci's belly: "Why haven't you moved yet?"
Mu Ci lowered his head and looked at himself, feeling the same confusion: "I'm also surprised. Maybe it's because my family ties have been weak in my life, and I can't even give birth to a child."
There is some truth to this.
She got pregnant in her previous life, but failed to keep her, and then the entire Mu family perished.
Although this life is better, her closest relatives are no longer with her. Even her closest sister has not been able to see her for many years.
Some things seem to have changed, but some things have not changed at all. Destiny cannot be explained in a few words.
Hearing Mu Ci's sudden emotion, Dugu Liancheng's heart suddenly tightened: "What nonsense are you talking about? You look like a blessed woman, and you will have many children in the future."
Mu Ci smiled.
She thought that with his vicious tongue, he would take the opportunity to step on her and hit her again.
"I am the emperor, and I keep my word. If I say you are blessed, then you are a blessed one. If you don't believe me, we will see in the future." Dugu Liancheng held her jade hand: "Don't say these depressing words again in the future, maybe it's a problem
It’s all on me.”
Mu Ci was not used to his sudden tenderness, "How old is the eldest prince? How many months is An Rong's child? How could the problem be yours? Don't comfort me. I know it's my own problem..."
"That's not the case -" Dugu Liancheng wanted to explain, but was speechless.
Under Mu Ci's gaze, he said in a deep voice: "It's not your fault after all! I am the emperor, and what I say is the imperial edict. You can't argue with me!"
A smile flashed in Mu Ci's eyes: "That's all, let it be whatever you say, I can't argue with you."
"I have something else to do, so I'll go back to Yanfu Palace first." Dugu Liancheng hurried away without waiting for Mu Ci to speak.
Mu Ci looked at his back and wondered why he was leaving in such a hurry.
Until an hour later, Mu Yu suddenly came to Yong'an Palace and praised Qi Yu for entering the palace again.
"Did he come to the palace to see the emperor?" Mu Ci suddenly couldn't laugh or cry.
"I specifically inquired with Biyu, and it is true that I am here to see the emperor." Mu Yu said, glanced around, and whispered: "Does the emperor have any hidden illness?"
Otherwise, why didn't the imperial doctors from Tai Tai Hospital consult him earlier and instead ordered Dr. Zhang to enter the palace?
Mu Ci coughed lightly, remembering Dugu Liancheng's intention to order Qi Yu to the palace for medical treatment, she suppressed a smile and said, "I have to ask the emperor about this."
There was no way she could tell Mu Yu that Dugu Liancheng suspected that she could not have a child, right?
How could he do such a ridiculous thing?
The eldest prince is already several years old, but he is neither the eldest prince nor his flesh and blood...
The thought flashed across her mind and she stopped immediately.
This is impossible. She had thought about this possibility before, but no matter how stupid Dugu Liancheng was, there was no way he could confuse the royal bloodline.
How ridiculous!
"By the way, did you see Liu Xin when you came in just now?" Mu Ci simply changed the subject to prevent himself from thinking wildly.
"I just saw a familiar palace maid, but I don't know if she is Liu Xin." Mu Yu recalled the previous scene: "When the slave entered Yong'an Palace, the palace maid never raised her head and looked at it, and she was very focused on what she was doing.
It looks like this, but I think it’s all superficial.”
Mu Ci became interested when he heard the words: "What do you think of this?"
"Because this slave often does the same thing as her. On the surface, it looks like she is concentrating on cleaning, but in fact she is already looking at all directions. Like her, this slave secretly observes the people and things around her." Mu Yu paused, and then said:
"If that is Liu Xin, the empress must be careful about attracting wolves into the house. On the other hand, Luo Xin looks well-behaved and is much more respectable than Liu Xin."
Mu Ci didn't want Mu Yu to mention Luo Xin.
She has also been observing Luo Xin recently, and found that Luo Xin truly keeps to herself and never goes too far. Even Ji Rou said that it is rare to see a palace maid as considerate as Luo Xin.
"I have a scale in my heart, so please relax. As for King Ling'an, if he troubles you again, just come to me." Mu Ci warned.
Mu Yu was originally worried about this matter: "King Ling'an has not appeared recently, but I can't feel at ease. I always feel that King Ling'an still has something to do."
Dugu Lianqi has a high position, but she is just a rough maid in Yanfu Palace. When King Ling'an wants to deal with her, she is unable to guard against him.
"This is troublesome. Yong'an Palace is now overcrowded, and I can't transfer you here yet. In this way, I will ask Li Yu and Biyu to watch more, and you can come to them if you need anything." Mu Ci felt that he still had to find an opportunity to go.
Go to Dugu Liancheng and explain this clearly.
Dugu Lianqi was a romantic by nature, and although he rarely showed any signs of having an affair with a palace maid, he relied on his great power to cause a lot of romantic debts. If it were someone else, there would naturally be no room for her to speak, but Mu Yu was unwilling, then
no.
Mu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and then thought about the current situation in the harem: "The imperial heir in Concubine An's belly is getting bigger and bigger, doesn't the empress have no plans? At worst, when Concubine An comes to Yanfu Palace, the servants can just do nothing.
, never stop, keep her..."
Mu Ci was shocked. He didn't expect Mu Yu to have such an idea.
"There are many people watching An Rong's pregnancy, so you don't need to take any action. Just listen to me and don't make your own decisions, understand?" Mu Ci warned with a straight face.
"Are you sure?" Mu Yu asked.
"An Rong is not a threat to me yet. No matter what happens to the child in her belly, it has nothing to do with me. Let's just watch the show." Mu Ci gave some more instructions before Mu Yu left Yong'an Palace.
When passing by Liu Xin who was sweeping the floor, she didn't stop, but looked around and noticed that Liu Xin's movements had paused slightly.
Remembering what Mu Ci said, she quickly left.
In the evening, Mu Ci took Sizhu and Ningxiang to Yanfu Palace. Now that Yingchun could take charge of her own affairs, and with Ji Rou assisting her, she could leave Yong'an Palace with peace of mind.
Now, no more than before, there is an extra Liu Xin in Yong'an Palace, so someone must stay in Yong'an Palace at all times.
