When Mu Ci arrived at Yanfu Palace, Qi Yu had already left.
Soon it was dinner time, and Dugu Liancheng and Mu Ci sat down at the dining table.
Dugu Liancheng diligently put vegetables into Mu Ci's bowl, "Is there anything else you want to eat? Just tell me and I will ask the imperial chef to cook your favorite dishes."
Mu Ci laughed and shook his head: "I'm not picky about food. I like to eat all these, and you can eat them too."
As she spoke, she also took some vegetables into Dugu Liancheng's bowl.
Although she didn't know why Dugu Liancheng was suddenly so attentive to her, she still felt that Zhien should be repaid. In this life, except for the days when he first entered the palace, he had been very good to her.
If she couldn't reciprocate his feelings, at least she could be accommodating to him.
Dugu Liancheng looked at such a gentle and considerate Mu Ci, and his heart warmed up: "Mu Ci, you will definitely be a good wife and mother. You will have many children in the future, with daughters like you and sons like me."
And she will be a blessed woman, he is sure of this.
"Why are you talking about this again? I think it's okay not to have children. Eighty-nine things in life are unsatisfactory. When you get too much, you should lose some, which is in line with the principle of balance. I am quite content now.
"Yes." Mu Ci smiled slightly.
Her mother and brother are both fine, and the people she most wants to protect in her life are fine. This is great happiness to her.
"You can be more ambitious and greedy, because you deserve the best." Dugu Liancheng smiled warmly and touched Mu Ci's head.
Mu Ci laughed dumbly.
She felt that having Dugu Liancheng was enough.
"By the way, I heard that King Ling'an was interested in Mu Yu. You have also seen Mu Yu's performance in Yanfu Palace in the past few years. She is still good. She told me that she did not want to have too much contact with King Ling'an.
It's involved, but King Ling'an threatened her, so I hope Li Yu and Biyu can take more care of her, and I'd like to say hello to you first." Mu Ci explained the purpose of his visit.
Dugu Liancheng deserved to be relieved: "Since you said she is good, I will naturally believe you. I will ask them to watch her more closely and will not let Lian Qi have the opportunity to kill Mu Yu. Don't worry."
With Dugu Liancheng's words, Mu Ci felt relieved.
After dinner, the two of them left Yanfu Palace and went for a walk in the spacious and clear palace corridors.
This is the imperial palace in Dugu Liancheng, the imperial city at the feet of the emperor. The red walls of the palace here, brick by brick, represent the supreme imperial rule of the Great Xia Kingdom.
In this way, day after day, year after year, it remains immortal in the years.
Mu Ci and Dugu Liancheng walked side by side, their footsteps alternated, playing the most primitive movement.
Since his rebirth, Mu Ci's heart has never been so calm as at this moment.
All her dissatisfaction and resentment towards Dugu Liancheng seemed to have disappeared with the passage of time, or perhaps when she was willing to untie Dugu Liancheng's knot two years ago, she had already let go of the resentment she had towards Dugu Liancheng in her previous life.
She thinks they are fine as they are.
"I wanted to take you for a walk along the palace road a long time ago and show you the place where I was born and raised."
Dugu Liancheng suddenly remembered that when he was ten years old, Mu Ci entered the palace once, took his hand and ran towards the palace road.
But that time, he shook off her hand.
When he was a child, he never thought that one day he would long to take a quiet walk with her and take a look.
"Although you have suffered a lot, it is actually those who have made you what you are today. You are a good emperor, and I am proud of you." Mu Ci knew in his heart that these were all facts.
It is also a fact that the emperor Dugu Liancheng should be more qualified than Dugu Lianyun and Emperor Qingyuan.
But in her previous life, she was blind and never noticed this, because at that time she only had love in her eyes and could not see such a big picture.
If this is the case, how could Dugu Liancheng in his previous life kill his brother who had made great achievements in protecting the country?
There must be something wrong somewhere.
"If one day my brother commits the serious crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason, will you execute him?" Mu Ci slowed down and asked suddenly.
Only this possibility would make Dugu Liancheng kill his brother, right?
Hearing this, Dugu Liancheng lowered his eyebrows and said, "Do you think Captain Mu would do such a rebellious thing due to his temperament? Are you his biological sister?"
Mu Ci felt a little guilty when he stared at her: "I just made a random assumption."
"Is this assumption allowed to be made casually? This is an insult to Captain Mu Du! He has been fighting abroad for many years, defending his family and country, and working with the god of death. You, my sister, just don't understand him, but you actually made such a mistake.
This unreasonable assumption is simply nonsense!" Dugu Liancheng's brows were frosty, and the chill in his eyes was even more profound at night.
Mu Ci was scolded by Dugu Liancheng and felt a little shameless.
Didn't she just want to test his reaction?
Therefore, even if his brother was imprisoned for treason in his previous life, Dugu Liancheng would not believe that his brother would commit treason, but his brother died in the prison for no reason. This shows that the problem is not simple.
It's a pity that she can't go back to her past life, and people who know the truth about her past life can't tell her the answer because they don't have the memory of her past life.
"Why, I still can't tell you?!" Dugu Liancheng suddenly increased his volume and shouted loudly.
Mu Ci was startled, "Okay, whatever you say will be done, I'll go back and rest."
After she finished speaking, she simply turned around and left.
Dugu Liancheng looked at Mu Ci's back and wanted to call her out, but when he thought of what she had just said, he felt chilled. How disappointed would Mu Tong be if he heard what Mu Ci said?
He knew that what Mu Tong cared about most was Mrs. Rong Guo and Mu Ci.
It's time to treat Mu Ci coldly and let her remember a little longer. If she came to admit her mistake to him tomorrow, he would have to teach her a lesson before he could reluctantly forgive her.
With a plan in mind, he did not chase after him and turned back to Yanfu Palace.
It's just that he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
"Li Yu!"
Li Yu heard the words and stepped forward: "My servant is here."
"Will I be too harsh when I scold Mu Ci today?" Dugu Liancheng was a little worried.
I didn't think so before and thought she was ignorant. Now that she calmed down, she felt that her tone was too harsh and she was worried that Mu Ci wouldn't be able to bear it.
Li Yu pretended to think carefully before replying: "I think it's okay. Your Majesty is not a fragile woman. Your Majesty doesn't need to worry too much. Your Majesty should be able to understand His painstaking efforts."
"If she comes to apologize tomorrow, I will reluctantly forgive her just once." Dugu Liancheng said, finally able to rest in peace.
The next day, when he waited until dusk, Mu Ci came to apologize.
Li Yu saw that Long live the Lord was restless, so he probably guessed what was going on. Wasn't it because Mu Ci didn't come over?
In his opinion, it was impossible for Mu Ci to come over, let alone apologize.
The fact is that in the next few days, Mu Ci did not appear in Yanfu Palace.
