Mu Ci began to talk endlessly about the past about Mallow. At the end, she said: "It was really sad that Mallow met such an end. But, life is full of ups and downs. No, later Mallow
Returning to the harem, she appeared as a concubine."
Hearing this, Yan Meiren couldn't sit still. She stood up quickly and said, "Don't talk nonsense. How can Concubine De be Mallow?"
Mu Ci's eyes were full of smiles, "If I wasn't 100% sure about this matter, I wouldn't have said it. Because of your relationship with Concubine De, I will tell you this matter clearly. I'm looking for you today.
Come on, there is actually another thing."
As she spoke, she lowered her head and took another sip of tea. Her carefree look made Yan Meiren secretly frightened.
What is the ulterior motive behind Mu Ci telling her this?
"What on earth do you want to say?!" Yan Meiren couldn't sit still and asked in a deep voice.
Mu Ci smiled sweetly: "You and Concubine De are close. If she has anything to do, she will discuss it with you, right?"
Yan Meiren's face changed slightly, and she replied coldly: "I don't know what you are talking about."
"The news about your good relationship with Concubine De is not a secret in the harem. If Concubine De has anything to do, she will definitely discuss it with you. I am just saying this because I hope you can tell me something. For example, Concubine De has just told you
What? I think you won’t want to be controlled by Concubine De for the rest of your life, right? And I can help you." Mu Ci took a sip of tea leisurely.
Yan Meiren couldn't sit still after hearing this. She stood up and said, "You are overthinking. I am not familiar with Concubine De."
After she finished speaking, she quickly left the main hall.
When she walked out of the room and the hot air hit her face, her mind suddenly became clearer.
Concubine De only regards her as a pawn that can be used, so why should she be loyal to Concubine De? Mu Ci has plans and strategies. If Mu Ci is willing to take action, she may still have a way to survive.
Thinking of this, she turned back the way she came.
He saw Mu Ci sitting upright in his original position, as if he had expected that she would turn around.
She sighed softly. She was still too young in front of Mu Ci. It was nothing to embarrass herself in front of Mu Ci.
"Concubine De did say something to me just now, but I couldn't understand it. She said she knew a secret of yours, and said that this secret was fatal to you." Yan Meiren truthfully told her what Li Waner told her.
.
After Mu Ci heard this, he remained silent for a long time.
Yan Meiren thought that Mu Ci didn't believe her, so she added, "She really told me that. She said it so categorically that it didn't look like she was joking."
Mu Ci smiled slightly: "I believe you."
Yan Meiren breathed a sigh of relief when she heard what she said.
Mu Ci achieved his goal and ordered Sizhu to send Yan Meiren away.
Sizhu came back and whispered to Mu Ci: "Just now, my servant saw Liu Xin poking her head around. She thought she was curious about why Yan Meiren came to Yong'an Palace."
"It's okay, let her go, she can't make a big splash at the moment." Mu Ci replied quietly, immersed in his own thoughts again.
Sizhu saw Mu Ci's expression was different and asked, "Does the empress know what the secret that Concubine De said is?"
She suspected that the secrets mentioned by Concubine De were exactly what happened in the six months when Mu Ci left the palace.
"I don't know. I'm going to take a nap. Don't bother me to rest." Mu Ci said and entered the bedroom.
She fell on the couch, not feeling sleepy at all.
Just now she was thinking, is Li Waner a member of Dugu Lianyun?
Her biggest secret is that she stayed with Dugu Lianyun during the time she left the palace, and she also knew that Dugu Lianyun was still alive.
It seemed that only this secret could allow Dugu Liancheng to deal with her.
If we say that Li Waner was sent to the palace by Dugu Lianyun, everything would make sense. The Li family dared to send an impostor to the palace only because they had the support of Dugu Lianyun.
But if Li Waner is Dugu Lianyun's person, how can Li Waner dare to reveal the fact that Dugu Lianyun is still alive to Dugu Liancheng? She is not afraid of being dealt with by Dugu Lianyun?
She couldn't discuss this matter with anyone else, because she was the only one who knew that Dugu Lianyun was alive, and she never mentioned it to anyone after entering the palace.
She thought that the less people knew about it, the better. Now it seems that there is no airtight wall in this world.
If Dugu Liancheng keeps tracking her whereabouts after leaving the palace, he will find out some clues sooner or later.
Mu Ci stopped thinking wildly.
There was no point worrying about it, she could only let it take its course.
Two days later, Shadow appeared in Yanfu Palace and reported to Dugu Liancheng what he had found.
"Zhou Mansion?" Dugu Liancheng frowned upon hearing this.
"It is the Zhou Mansion. After a secret investigation, I found that the empress lived in the Zhou Mansion while she was out of the palace. There is also a mysterious cousin in the Zhou Mansion, named Xiao Ziyan. What is interesting is that everyone in the Zhou Mansion is very respectful to Xiao Ziyan.
Xiao Ziyan seemed to appear suddenly. Later, after the empress returned to the palace, Xiao Zi also disappeared from the Zhou family..." Shadow told all the information he found.
When Dugu Liancheng heard Xiao Ziyan's name, he was a little distracted.
The name Ziyan is very familiar. The emperor's brother's character is Ziyan. Is this just a coincidence?
"Can you find out Xiao Ziyan's appearance?" Dugu Liancheng frowned slightly.
"Xiao Ziyan lives in seclusion, and most people can't see him. They only know that he is a fairy-like figure." Shadow answered.
"Continue to investigate, the Zhou Mansion will send people to keep an eye on it, and the Li family will also keep an eye on it." Dugu Liancheng frowned.
"Yes." Shadow took the order and left.
At this moment, Biyu hurriedly entered, holding a letter in her hand: "Your Majesty, someone picked up this letter outside the door and asked the Emperor to personally open it."
She has tested the envelope and found that it is not poisonous, but she does not know who sent the letter. That person is quite capable of delivering the letter to Yanfu Palace.
Li Yu took the letter, sniffed it carefully, and checked it again to make sure there was no problem before opening the letter.
He didn't dare to read the content, but handed it to Dugu Liancheng.
Just as Dugu Liancheng was about to take it, Li Yu hurriedly said: "I'd better pass it to you as a slave."
Just in case, it is best for the Emperor not to touch the letter.
Dugu Liancheng quickly read the letter and his expression changed again and again.
Both Li Yu and Biyu noticed the change in Long Live Lord's expression. Since they didn't know the content, they could only rely on guessing that something big must have happened to cause the emperor to have such an expression.
"I will send you to Yanfu Palace immediately." Dugu Liancheng's eyes were sinister as he took the letter and stared at the content on it.
Li Yu hurriedly arrived at Yong'an Palace and explained his intention.
Seeing his strange expression, Mu Ci felt heavy in her heart. If nothing unexpected happened, it must have been Li Waner who took action, right?
Li Waner and her are old enemies, so they will naturally try their best to get rid of her.
Li Yu was also worried. The person who usually talked so much was silent at this moment and sent Mu Ci directly to Yanfu Palace.
When Mu Ci entered Xinuang Pavilion, Dugu Liancheng was sitting at the desk, with a piece of letter in front of him.
