"Your Majesty, you are in confinement. You need to take good care of yourself and don't worry too much." Platycodon said softly.
"Zhitao retreat, and Platycodon will stay and wait." An Rong gave an order.
Kikyo stepped forward to help Zhitao up, and Zhitao glanced at her gratefully, then staggered away.
Platycodon grandiflorum returned to An Rong to wait on her. She seemed to be saying to herself: "This slave always feels that this matter is too strange. As long as it has been done, it will leave traces. There must be some oversight on our part."
An Rong also had the same idea.
As long as someone has touched their hands, there will be traces, but only for a short while. They did not see which link was tampered with.
This matter can only be put aside for now, as the mystery may be solved one day.
An Rong needed to recuperate and kept away from visitors; Mu Ci was banned from leaving Yong'an Palace, and the emperor had already disliked Mu Ci, so these two big targets disappeared from people's sight, and the harem suddenly became calm.
Come down.
Tao Meiren recently discovered a phenomenon: Fu Chongrong began to alienate herself.
She endured it for several days, but couldn't bear it anymore, so she simply went to Fu Chongrong and asked her face to face why she no longer interacted with her.
"Is it because the younger sister has been demoted and the older sister dislikes the younger sister?"
Tao Meiren looked at Fu Chongrong with aggrieved eyes, tears flashing in her eyes. She thought that if she repeated the same trick, Fu Chongrong would feel pity for her.
Fu Chongrong didn't seem to see the tears in her eyes, and said softly: "It's nothing, you are overthinking it."
She didn't want the scene to be too ugly.
Originally, she didn't listen to what Mu Ci said, but everything Tao Meiren said and did in Jingyang Palace that day made her realize that she didn't understand Tao Meiren.
Tao Meiren is not as innocent as she appears.
It's just that she was blind and mistook wild wolves for sheep. She didn't dare to continue to have close friendship with people like Tao Meiren, lest she be betrayed by Tao Meiren one day and not know what happened.
No matter how dull Tao Meiren was, she still noticed Fu Chongrong's coldness.
Her eyes flashed slightly, and the tears in her eyes quickly retracted. Did it turn out that the torture trick no longer worked?
Does Fu Chongrong not want to be friends with her anymore?
"It seems that my sister really dislikes her." She stood up with a calm expression.
"I can't say whether I dislike it or not, but I realized that you and I are not the same person." Fu Chongrong looked back calmly.
Tao Meiren raised her lips with a half-smile: "If I were still Jieyu, my sister wouldn't push me away so quickly? I think it's because I'm not up to par, which gave my sister a reason to push me away. It's been two years since I was in the harem.
During this time, I was able to say a few true words to my sister, and I didn’t want her to abandon me."
At this moment, she was really a little sad. After all, it took two years to form a sisterly relationship, and she didn't want it to break up just like that.
"Why don't you talk about giving up? You approached me in the first place just because I'm easy to deceive, right? But the beauty admirer has a sharp eye and knows people. The person I haven't seen clearly in two years, she only needs two eyes to see clearly that it's me.
There is no eye for sight." Fu Chongrong replied with a wry smile.
Tao Meiren made a gesture of suffering. There are no spectators here. Who will watch?
"I hope my sister will not regret today's decision one day. Originally, as long as she was willing, I could have climbed up with her hand in hand, but it's a pity..." Tao Meiren gradually faded away her voice.
Seeing that Fu Chongrong was unmoved, she knew that her friendship with Fu Chongrong had ended here.
"I'm not afraid to tell the truth. Most of the time, I really regard my sister as my best friend. At least, I have never had any intention of harming my sister." After Tao Meiren finished speaking, she left without looking back.
Fu Chongrong looked at Tao Meiren's back, feeling bitter in his heart.
She can no longer tell what is sincere and what is false.
In such a place of right and wrong in the harem, where can the sincerity come from? The bustling world is all for profit; the bustling world is all for gain. Isn't this the truth?
When she first entered the harem, she shouldn't have had any illusions that she could make true friends in the harem.
She let out a sigh, which echoed faintly in the air...
From then on, Tao Mei and Fu Chongrong met each other occasionally, but never said hello again. As time passed, everyone in the harem knew that these so-called friends had also fallen out.
After hearing this, Shen Manyun smiled and said: "Where is the sincerity in the harem? Even if the sincerity is given, it will be used by others in the end. Fu Chongrong finally recognized Tao Meiren's true face, which is a good thing."
Just as she recognized An Rong's true face, she could no longer be friends with An Rong.
People should always make plans for themselves.
An Rong is already a noble concubine. Although she has also become a concubine, she is always shorter than An Rong. If there is a chance, she must surpass An Rong and ride on An Rong's head.
She had been deceived and used by An Rong for four whole years, how could she not care about it?
In addition to the feud between Fu Chongrong and Tao Meiren, there have been many rumors about the emperor recently.
It just means how much the emperor dislikes Mu Ci. The emperor dislikes Mu Ci to the extent that he cannot even hear the word "mu" or "ci". Otherwise, those who violate the ban will definitely die.
To be honest, I don’t know who spread these fake news.
Others didn't know it, but she was an old man in the palace. The emperor's love for Mu Ci had gone beyond the scope of an emperor and his concubines. She didn't believe that the emperor disliked Mu Ci.
However, it was almost June, and the emperor had not lifted Mu Ci's grounding yet, which really surprised her.
She thought that what the emperor said about the grounding was just casual talk.
Let’s go back to Dugu Liancheng.
He wanted to find an opportunity to lift Mu Ci's grounding, but this woman always made him hate her so much. Whenever he wanted to lift her grounding, more news would come out about how much he disliked Mu Ci.
After these days, not only the harem knew about this, but everyone in the world also knew that Dugu Liancheng did not like Muci.
In order to achieve her goal, this woman did not hesitate to use his reputation as an emperor to make a fuss, which is extremely hateful!
Because of this, he had no reason to lift Mu Ci's confinement. Sometimes he wished he could imprison her forever so that she would never be able to cause trouble.
"The weather is getting hotter. I wonder if it will be too hot in Yong'an Palace. Would you like to send some ice basins there?" Li Yu said, secretly glancing at Long Live Lord.
There is no clue in the expression of Long Live Lord.
He only knew that if the emperor did not lift Mu Ci's confinement, the little prince would never be born.
"In about twenty days, it will be my birthday, right? It's so pitiful that my queen is still banned from Yong'an Palace on such a big day, and no one will celebrate her birthday." Li Yu sighed deeply.
Dugu Liancheng's eyebrows moved, but his thin lips pursed into a straight line, and he did not answer.
