"The emperor did not trust the empress and thought that the empress only had the late emperor in her heart. The empress did not refute at that time and was just silent, but her silence does not mean that she acquiesced. If there really was a man like the late emperor living in the Zhou family, the empress would have been close to him.
It is also normal. But if the empress remarries because this person looks like the late emperor, I think it is not in line with the empress's temperament. There must be a misunderstanding. Perhaps it is because the emperor does not trust the empress that the empress hid in
Agarwood Palace." Biyu said thoughtfully.
When the emperor forced the empress to sleep with him, the empress did such a drastic thing to fight back against the emperor.
How could the empress with such a strong temperament find her shadow in a man who looked like the late emperor? This is unreasonable.
The empress is not the kind of woman who wanders around all day long for the love between her children.
"What you say makes sense. Only when the knot in the emperor's heart is untied can the knot in the empress' heart be untied. So, you go and persuade the emperor." Li Yu entrusted Bi Yu with an important task.
In the past, Biyu would not have been willing to be such a peacemaker, but this time it was different.
She knew that Mu Ci was the only woman who could influence the emperor. If this matter was not handled properly, it would only go to extremes. She hoped that Mu Ci's influence on the emperor would be positive and uplifting.
She has served the emperor since she was a child. Although she has no romantic feelings for the emperor, she regards the emperor as her master to whom she will be loyal forever.
While Biyu was serving pen and ink in the imperial study, Dugu Liancheng punished two more palace ladies.
Biyu watched in her eyes until the guards dragged her down. She cleared her throat and said, "I beg your pardon to dare to say this. Your Majesty's anger at the servants will not make your Majesty return to the harem willingly."
Dugu Liancheng looked over coldly, "I thought you weren't a talkative person."
Biyu knelt on the ground, her eyes magnanimous: "The crux of the problem between the empress and the emperor is that the emperor does not trust the empress. The emperor always suspected that the empress could not forget the late emperor, but according to what the maidservant thought, the emperor was wrong. Who was that person back then?
I wonder if the man that the empress likes is the emperor? It’s just because the emperor never concealed his displeasure with the empress that the empress made the temporary decision to remarry. Although the empress married the late emperor, it does not mean that the man she likes is the late emperor.
.But as far as I know, the emperor has suspected that the emperor is disloyal to the emperor more than once..."
"She said she remarried outside the palace!" Dugu Liancheng interrupted Biyu.
And that man was Xiao Ziyan, who looked exactly like the emperor's brother.
"That is just the one-sided statement of the empress. In order to escape from the emperor, the empress may tell such a big lie. Just ask a woman with a strong temperament like the empress, who followed the emperor after the death of the emperor, and has already made the empress commit regicide.
Come and fight back. Your Majesty knows your Majesty’s temperament best, so why would your Majesty remarry a second time? Your Majesty is careless and confused, and you have misunderstood your Majesty.” Biyu said with absolute certainty.
Dugu Liancheng looked at Biyu with complicated eyes.
Is it really what Biyu said?
Because of his misunderstanding, Mu Ci was so disheartened that he would rather live in the cold palace than be one of his harem?
"If you want to untie the knot in the empress's heart, the emperor must also untie the knot in his own heart. The emperor is so concerned about the late emperor because he abandoned the emperor first and hurt the emperor's face.
Don't forget this." Biyu finally pointed out the key points of the problem.
That year, the empress abandoned the emperor on her wedding day, but chose the late emperor. This incident must have left the emperor with a grudge.
Dugu Liancheng sat in shock for a long time. When he saw Biyu still kneeling on the ground, he rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Get up and let me think about it."
He needs to think carefully.
If Biyu hadn't pointed out the crux of the problem today, he would have blamed Mu Ci for the mistake.
That year, he thought he had let go of the fact that Mu Ci abandoned him and chose the imperial brother, but it turned out that he had always remembered it.
If not, how could he have concluded that Mu Ci had married Xiao Ziyan, who looked like an imperial brother, outside the palace?
Furthermore, who was the person who delivered the letter? Why did that person know the most secret things about Mu Ci outside the palace?
When he questioned Mu Ci that day, Mu Ci didn't say anything. He thought it was acquiescence. Maybe it wasn't the case. Mu Ci was just disappointed because he believed that outsiders didn't believe her either.
At that time, she said she had nothing to say, and said she had a bad fate with him, and asked him to let it go.
He thought that these were all evidence that Mu Ci could not let go of the late emperor, but these were just his conjectures. He had already convicted her.
After Mu Ci returned to Chenxiang Palace, the harem suddenly fell into a strange silence.
It seems that because Mu Ci entered Chenxiang Palace, the excitement of the harem was also taken away.
The emperor never walked around the harem again, and no one was seen in any palace.
Even though Concubine An was so seriously injured, the emperor never paid a visit to Jingyang Palace.
Some people once said that Concubine An was the emperor's most favored concubine, but after An Rong recovered from her injury, she went to Yanfu Palace to request an audience, but the emperor did not order her to see her. This time, An Rong waited outside Yanfu Palace for a whole day.
Today, I still haven’t been able to see the Holy Face.
So another rumor spread.
It is said that Mu Ci beat An Rong in Chenxiang Palace that time because An Rong wanted to take Mu Ci's life. Mu Ci was so angry that he attacked An Rong like that.
And the emperor also knew about this, so he ignored An Rong.
This news spread a lot in the harem, and everyone felt that this statement made sense logically, otherwise the emperor would not have ignored the imperial concubine without any reason.
After Zhitao received the news, he searched for the person behind the rumor. However, he could not find the source.
She returned to An Rong to resume her life and met her master without face: "I am incompetent and cannot find out who sent the news. This person is very vicious and wants to ruin the reputation of the empress. He also wants to drive a wedge between the emperor and the empress."
emotion."
An Rong's expression remained as usual, "It's okay, the truth will be found out one day. I don't believe that person will never surface."
Nothing she has done recently has gone well, and she was anxious at first, but later she stopped thinking about it.
People can't always have smooth sailing, and in the turbulent harem, ups and downs are normal.
If she can't bear this grievance and setback, how can she continue to move forward in the future?
Even if all the contradictions are directed at her now, she is still the most noble concubine in the Sixth Palace. Those shady bugs can only use this method to humiliate her.
But one thing was strange: the person who spread the rumors actually knew all the grudges between her and Mu Ci.
Could this be the real culprit who caused her to slip?
At this moment, she naturally didn't know that the person who spread this rumor was actually Shen Manyun, whom she thought she had a firm control over.
