Chapter 665: The Emperor and the Concubine's Affair
After thinking for a long time, Mu Ci felt that it would be better for him to restrain his sharpness.
It would be good for anyone to be in the position right now, but it must not be her.
For example, the concubine who was able to play tricks under An Rong's nose was also a master.
As for how many people in the harem have such abilities, she can't estimate.
This harem is no longer the harem where she was domineering, she must think long term.
"Then your Majesty, why don't you pay more attention?" Ningxiang was extremely anxious: "Do you think that just because you have fallen out of favor, you can stop those people from harming your Majesty?"
The empress is so smart and beautiful, anyone with a brain will regard her as an enemy and want to get rid of her quickly.
The empress may have some misunderstanding of her own strength.
"Yes, your Majesty made a mistake. This method will not work at all. If you were a slave and a concubine in the harem, you would strike while the iron is hot and try your best to get rid of your Majesty!" Sizhu also agreed.
Yingchun also nodded like a fool, and everyone felt that the empress was smart for a while, but confused for the rest of her life.
Seeing that they were all staring at him, Mu Ci lost his confidence and asked, "Wouldn't this method work?"
She thought she could save a lot of trouble by temporarily tempering her wits, but it turned out that she was optimistic?
"It doesn't work. Because everyone in the harem knows that the empress is the late empress dowager. Who in the harem doesn't know about the empress dowager's deeds? No matter whether the empress is favored or out of favor, the empress will be the first of many concubines in the harem to eliminate.
Target." Sizhu replied decisively.
It was true that the new concubines were promoted later, but how could those old people who came out of the East Palace not know the true strength of the empress?
Even if the empress commits the crime of regicide, she can come out of Chenxiang Palace. This shows how special the emperor is to his empress.
Mu Ci smiled bitterly when he heard this: "That's all, I'll listen to you. Forget it this time, as long as I don't make stupid mistakes in the future."
But she thought it was unnecessary to go to Yanfu Palace to ask Dugu Liancheng to let her take An Rong's place out of the palace.
Several palace maids also knew Mu Ci's temperament, but they did not force her.
As long as the empress comes to her senses in time and stops doing these useless exercises, it will be fine.
On this day, Dugu Liancheng took the imperial concubine to Anguo Gong's Mansion for a wedding ceremony.
An Rong made a plan, thinking that she would stay in the Duke's mansion for one night. Then the emperor would be in the same room with her, which would naturally be a good opportunity for her to achieve success.
She was naturally heartbroken after losing the emperor's heir, but she also knew that she was still young and her body was well maintained, so she was fine. However, Dugu Liancheng never ordered her to sleep with him again.
Today is her best opportunity to go back to the Duke's Mansion to visit her relatives.
The imperial chariot's visit to the Duke's Mansion was naturally a good opportunity for the Duke's Mansion to show off. After everyone in the Duke's Mansion welcomed Jin Shang into the mansion, An Rong had nothing to do during the day. What she had to wait for was the opportunity at night.
Sure enough, under An Guogong's warm invitation, Jinshang chose to stay in the Guogong's Mansion for the night. Of course, the Guogong's Mansion did not dare to present other beauties under the eyes of Concubine An, but was instructed by Concubine An to arrange for her and Jin to be together.
Live in a dormitory.
That night, Dugu Liancheng did live in the same room as An Rong...
The next day, Dugu Liancheng took An Rong back to the palace, and the news that Dugu Liancheng and An Rong had a night of indulgence in Anguo Gong's mansion somehow spread to the entire harem.
This incident naturally reached Mu Ci’s ears.
After Yingchun heard the news, she secretly scolded: "Fox-girl!"
If their mother-in-law hadn't given An Rong a chance, how could An Rong sleep outside the palace?
The person who broke the news must be An Rong, otherwise she couldn't think of anyone else who would spread such a romantic story everywhere.
It's nothing more than An Rong deliberately using this method to irritate the empress.
When Mu Ci heard Yingchun's low curse, he said funnyly: "Shouldn't someone like An Rong be called a vixen?"
There are many concubines who are more charming than An Rong, but there are definitely few who are more scheming than An Rong.
She was also puzzled as to how something like what happened to Duke An was spread into the palace. If this was not An Rong's intention, it must have something to do with the chamberlains or palace attendants who left the palace.
I don’t know who the person who released the news actually dared to spread the emperor’s love story everywhere, making it known to the whole world.
"I just can't stand it. How can anyone tell such a thing in detail? I'm not afraid of people's jokes. After all, I'm still a noble concubine, so why should she be so shameless?" Yingchun's anger continued unabated.
Seeing her indignant look, Mu Ci knew that she was complaining about herself.
I'm afraid this girl has forgotten it. Regardless of whether the matter is true or not, just talking about Dugu Liancheng's status as an emperor, if he wants to favor anyone, he will not dare to say "no"?
If she really wanted to care about everything like this, she would have no choice but to follow the same path of her previous life and die without a burial place.
However, there are some things that she just needs to know, and there is no benefit in saying them.
In fact, it was Li Waner who spread the story about An Rong and Dugu Liancheng's charming night in An Guogong's mansion.
Naturally, she didn't know what was going on in Anguo Mansion. But in Anguo Mansion, the emperor stayed in the Anguo Mansion, so the emperor and An Rong must have stayed in the same room.
She deliberately stated the matter in an extremely sweet and colorful way, and the person who wanted to offend her was none other than Mu Ci.
Mu Ci boasted that the emperor favored her, but when Mu Ci was not with the emperor, the emperor could still favor other women.
Only those idiots would believe that Mu Ci was rejected by the emperor.
Mu Ci will eventually get tired of being played by the emperor, but not now, and that day is not far away.
Now, she can also use the romantic stories about the emperor and his other beloved concubines to irritate Mu Ci. If she can make Mu Ci feel jealous, she can go to the emperor to quarrel with him, so that the emperor can see Mu Ci's jealous wife.
As for the face, it couldn't be better.
After An Rong returned to the palace, she heard this rumor immediately.
She thought it was Zhitao who had made his own decision, but when she asked, she found out that Zhitao had not done such a thing.
She is a noble concubine, and she is not one of those enchanting concubines who rely on their beauty to rise to the top. Why does she need to serve the emperor with sex? The top priority is that what she wants to leave behind is a good reputation, not the image of a charming concubine who seduces the master.
The spread of this rumor really did little to help her maintain her position in the palace.
Speaking of which, two and a half years ago, the emperor rarely went to the harem, and even the harem concubines were very few, so the position in the middle palace was always vacant, but it was not so conspicuous.
At that time, the courtiers only wanted to surround the emperor with their legitimate daughters, and each had their own agenda.
Now that the front palace has been enriched, the position of the middle palace remains unresolved, which has become the most concerned matter of the entire court and even the world.
She was pregnant with the emperor's heir last time, and ascending to the throne should have been a matter of course, but in the end there were rumors that she and the emperor were at odds with each other.
Now that her heir is gone, she is further away from her position in the middle palace.
Maybe there will be other concubines vying for the position, and by then, she will be empty-handed.
