"The imperial concubine has lost too much blood. You need to diagnose and treat her first. When she gets better tomorrow, we can continue the case." Dugu Liancheng glanced around and said softly: "Everyone is staying here for the night and is not allowed to leave Jingyang.
Half a step to the palace."
As he spoke, he looked at Mu Ci for the first time: "You should also be honest with me."
Mu Cixin said how could she be dishonest?
"Yes, Your Majesty." She responded with a crisp voice, and gave a rare and considerate suggestion: "Your Majesty, please sit down for a while. The imperial concubine looks so weak. She won't get better in a while."
Dugu Liancheng looked at her with complicated eyes and walked away immediately.
In this way, everyone stayed in their original positions, even when they were resting at night, they did not leave their positions.
Yingchun was the quickest to react. As soon as he heard that he was going to stay overnight in Jingyang Palace, he immediately moved a chaise longue as quickly as possible so that Mu Ci could rest.
Mu Ci didn't feel anything was wrong at all. He lay down comfortably and asked Wu Zhaoyi to join him.
That night, the only person who had a good sleep was Mu Ci. As for the others, they couldn't imitate Mu Ci's boldness, and they were all prosperous. How could they have ever tried to sit down for a night?
The next day, while Congren looked tired, Mu Ci looked rosy.
If she eats well and sleeps well, she will feel happy.
During this period, Zhitao saw Jiang Yuanshi. She had always wanted to find an opportunity to have a "personal talk" with Jiang Yuanshi alone, but because Jiang Yuanshi was waiting in front of the emperor, she never found the opportunity.
Under the care of the imperial physician, An Rong finally got better, at least there was no sign of fainting.
Dugu Liancheng was not a pity person, so he called everyone together regardless of An Rong's physical weakness.
He sat at the main seat, while An Rong sat weakly on the imperial concubine chair aside, with Platycodon taking care of her nearby.
Dugu Liancheng glanced around and said in a low voice: "The imperial concubine's tire slide is not a trivial matter. I'm going to make some ugly remarks today. I don't like people playing tricks under my nose. What I want is the truth! Tao Jieyu, you start first."
Tao Jieyu wanted to talk to Fu Chongrong last night, but there were too many people and she couldn't do anything.
At this point, she could not overturn her previous confession, so she could only bite the bullet and continue yesterday's confession: "I did see Sister Mu pushing the imperial concubine, but after Fu Chongrong said this, I don't know if it was because of my own eyesight.
"
Her last sentence was extremely interesting.
Everyone onlookers knew that Tao Jieyu was scared. After all, the emperor protected Mu Ci for more than a day or two. If Mu Ci could not be nailed to death today, but Mu Ci was given a bite, then the gain would outweigh the loss.
Zhitao was very depressed after hearing this. She quietly looked at the imperial concubine and wanted to know what the imperial concubine's plans were.
It's just that the empress didn't look at her, she seemed to be in low spirits.
She was also uneasy. She didn't know whether to continue yesterday's accusation. After one night, it seemed that the direction of the wind had changed. Was it because of the emperor's words just now?
"Fu Chongrong, it's your turn." Dugu Liancheng nodded Fu Chongrong's name again.
Fu Chongrong still maintained his testimony yesterday: "When I returned to the emperor, I did not see the beauty admirer recommending the imperial concubine."
"What about you?" Dugu Liancheng looked at the other concubines present again.
Everyone avoided his eyes. At this moment, Concubine He Xian stood up and said softly: "Your Majesty, not only did I not see Mu Meiren recommending the imperial concubine, but Mu Meiren has also been trying his best to avoid having anything to do with the imperial concubine.
touch."
Then, she told all the details of what happened yesterday, and naturally also told the reasons why Concubine An took the initiative to approach Mu Ci.
Dugu Liancheng looked at An Rong who was silent again, and said softly: "You were weak yesterday and your consciousness was very confused. Now that you have rested all night, can you tell me all the details you remember?"
An Rong raised her eyes slightly and glanced at Ambassador Jiang not far away.
After a night, she suddenly understood why Ambassador Jiang Yuan had been staying with the emperor. Mu Ci had clearly come prepared yesterday.
"Of course I remember. I didn't have close contact with Mu Meiren yesterday, so how can I talk about Mu Meiren harming my child?" An Rong replied with a sad expression.
She knew it was enough to stop, because her planning was not thorough enough and she lost an opportunity to defeat Mu Ci. While she could still regret the move, she had to stop in time to minimize the loss.
Jiang Yuanshi is also a time bomb. Jiang Yuanshi will be by the emperor's side, so he must have told the emperor the news of her unstable fetus.
In this way, if she continues to forcefully blame Mu Ci for the miscarriage, she will only have to pay for it herself.
People like the Emperor are never easy to fool.
As soon as An Rong said this, Zhitao's face changed, and she hurriedly said: "My queen, you clearly admire beauty..."
"Don't you know if Mu Meiren has recommended me?" An Rong looked at Xiang Zhitao coldly.
Seeing that An Rong was angry, Zhitao hurriedly knelt on the ground, not daring to raise any further objections.
"Concubine An said that I didn't push anyone, but Zhitao made lies and poured dirty water on me. A little slave wanted to murder the concubines in the harem, and his heart was evil. Could the emperor just let such a slave bully the emperor?
!" Mu Ci finished watching the play, but didn't want the play to end here.
Zhitao clenched her fists, and An Rong's brows furrowed slightly.
Mu Ci actually went too far?!
"You are the master of suffering, what do you think should be done?" Dugu Liancheng said softly.
"A cunning slave like Zhitao will naturally be killed with a stick to serve as a warning to others!"
As soon as Mu Ci said this, the hall was so quiet that even the sound of breathing became clear.
Previously, the emperor said that Mu Meiren would not even step on an ant to death. Now when Mu Meiren kills a peach with her staff, she doesn't even blink. She is simply a poisonous woman.
Zhitao's face was as pale as snow. She looked at Concubine An quietly, but found that Concubine An was not looking at her.
Dugu Liancheng also spoke at this time: "What do you think, noble concubine?"
An Rong opened her mouth, wanting to plead with Dugu Liancheng, but received his cold gaze.
For a moment, all her words were stuck in her throat.
"It's my concubine who is not strict with me and leaves everything to the emperor's whim." An Rong's voice was hoarse, but she still didn't plead for her.
Not only did she fail to frame Mu Ci this time, but she also killed one of her most trusted palace servants, and the emperor even lost his flesh and blood before he even thought about her.
This time, she truly saw the emperor's cold-blooded ruthlessness.
Zhitao closed her eyes in pain. She planned for the imperial concubine wholeheartedly, and wanted to help her defeat Mu Ci. In the end, the imperial concubine couldn't even say a word of mercy for her?
After all, she only came to this point to cooperate with the empress. Why can the empress be so cruel?
She thought that she was the person whom the empress trusted most, but when the empress abandoned her, she didn't even say a word. How could this not make her sad?
