Ningxiang was afraid of an ambush, so she carefully opened the palace door a crack. When she saw clearly that there were many people outside the palace door, she lowered her guard and simply opened the palace door with force.
When the palace door opened wide and Mu Ci's master and servants saw the huge crowd of people outside the palace door, they were all dumbfounded.
Even though Mu Ci was used to the world, this time Zhang Er was confused because of the huge battle outside.
The leader was none other than Dugu Liancheng, who was wearing a dragon robe.
The morning sun shone on his body, making him tall and straight, and unusually noble. I don't know if it was her imagination, but Dugu Liancheng's eyebrows were particularly gentle.
As for the people behind him, they were the civil and military ministers of the current dynasty, all of whom were important members of the court.
What is the purpose of such a huge battle?
"What are you..." Mu Ci was confused, not knowing what Dugu Liancheng was trying to do.
At this time, Dugu Liancheng stepped forward and supported her, his eyes full of tenderness: "My beloved concubine is pregnant with a dragon heir, so be careful."
Mu Ci: "???"
The four maids also looked at each other in confusion.
Didn’t the empress clarify it last night? Why did the emperor still mobilize troops? Didn’t the news last night reach the emperor’s ears?
"By the way, you are pregnant with the emperor's heir, and your hard work has paid off. I have already drafted an imperial edict to make my beloved concubine Xiu Yi." Dugu Liancheng looked at Mu Ci with gentle eyes, and dropped another heavy bomb.
Mu Ci looked at Dugu Liancheng in surprise and uncertainty.
What kind of tricks was Dugu Liancheng playing? She clearly clarified it last night, but he still mobilized a large number of people, led civil and military officials to pick her out of the cold palace, and even promoted her status.
It turns out that the news yesterday was not groundless, Dugu Liancheng indeed had such a plan.
She originally wanted to stop Dugu Liancheng from doing such stupid things, but he insisted on going his own way. What did he want to do?
If she claims that she is not pregnant in front of all the civil and military officials, will she be considered guilty of deceiving the emperor? Not only will she suffer, but those close to her will also suffer.
Her last retort stuck in her throat and she didn't spit out a single word.
Under the escort of Dugu Liancheng, she left Chenxiang Palace inexplicably and returned to the original Yong'an Palace.
The palace servants and chamberlains of Yongfa Palace were already waiting for her, and Feng Jiu came to the front to greet her with a beaming face: "I sincerely welcome Empress Xiuyi back to the palace!"
Mu Ci forced herself to pull out an ugly smiling flower, but she didn't know what it felt like.
When there was no one around except her and Dugu Liancheng, she found her voice: "Didn't I clarify last night that you didn't receive the message?"
Dugu Liancheng just smiled: "It's okay. If I'm not pregnant now, I will be pregnant soon. It will happen sooner or later."
Mu Ci blinked, digesting the content of his words, and then realized what was going on.
"You're the one spreading the rumor that I'm pregnant?!" Her eyes widened: "How could you joke about such a big thing?"
He is the emperor, how can he act so frivolously? Didn't all the civil and military officials today have been deceived by Dugu Liancheng?
"I am here to help you step down and let you return to the harem in glory, so that those who want to harm you can see clearly that you are my beloved concubine. You should think carefully before doing anything." Dugu Liancheng thought.
, he, as the emperor, is the most glorious today.
Mu Ci no longer knew what to say.
Doesn't he care about her and Dugu Lianyun's past? When she comes back, and the news that Dugu Lianyun is still alive in the future is exposed, depending on the level of Dugu Liancheng's suspicion, he will probably think that she is a spy sent to the palace by Dugu Lianyun, right?
This matter will be exposed sooner or later, otherwise she would not hide in Chenxiang Palace.
So, now we are back to square one.
"I will never mention the past between you and the emperor. The past is in the past. We still have a long time to live. You are not allowed to run into the cold palace again. People who don't know are still here.
You think I treat you too badly! Besides, you live in the cold palace on your birthday. Do you know how uncomfortable Mrs. Rongguo will be?"
Dugu Liancheng roughly guessed what Mu Ci was thinking, and he brought up business matters seriously.
Mu Ci felt depressed. Dugu Liancheng's words did not make her feel better, because Dugu Liancheng did not know the truth of the matter.
But what Dugu Liancheng said next is also very reasonable. She only cared about herself, but never thought about her mother's feelings.
As a daughter, she is not filial at all.
"Today I will be with you in Yong'an Palace. If there is anything I haven't done enough, you can tell me and I will change it. Is that okay?" Dugu Liancheng said in a good voice.
"Does Mrs. Rongguo know that I live in Chenxiang Palace?" Mu Ci said in a toneless voice.
"Of course she knows. But I told her that you just had a little quarrel with me, and you are not really living in the cold palace. Mrs. Rongguo knows the general situation and does not blame me. If you miss her, I can just ask her to enter the palace.
." Dugu Liancheng touched Mu Ci's head.
Mu Ci looked at Dugu Liancheng, who had gentle eyebrows. He knew that he had already made a lot of concessions. If she didn't appreciate it, it would be too disrespectful.
"I have just left Chenxiang Palace, so I still shouldn't act too openly. After a while, I can order Mrs. Rongguo to enter the palace." After a pause, Mu Ci couldn't help but ask: "Are you sure you won't regret it in the future?
?”
Dugu Liancheng smiled lightly and shook his head: "I can't predict what will happen in the future. But if you are allowed to live in Chenxiang Palace, I will definitely regret it."
The future is still very long, and he would rather focus on the present.
Mu Ci finally showed his first smile after returning to Yong'an Palace: "What you said makes sense."
Dugu Liancheng was right, the future is still far away, and no one can predict what will happen. It is better to live the life in front of you in a more realistic way. For such a simple truth, Dugu Liancheng was asked to remind her.
Seeing her finally smiling, Dugu Liancheng finally felt at ease.
He finally got her out of the cold palace. From now on, as long as she can be his concubine peacefully and stop running to the cold palace when she has nothing to do, he can feel at ease.
Liu Xin stood under the veranda of the outer hall. She was far away and could still hear the laughter and laughter coming from the inner hall.
She felt a little heavy and couldn't figure out what went wrong.
When the news about Mu Ci's happiness came out, she didn't think so.
She had attacked Mu Ci before, but Mu Ci's body was no longer suitable for pregnancy. If she took action, she would never miss.
But now Mu Ci has returned to Yong'an Palace.
The most important thing is that the emperor announced that Mu Ci was pregnant in public. How could this happen?
The more lively the Yong'an Palace is now, the more ironic it is for her.
She had said so categorically at the beginning that Mu Ci would never be happy in the future, but the current situation slapped her hard in the face.
At this moment, Yao Feier was also suffering. She wanted to know about Yong'an Palace's pocket watch, so she sent someone to find Liu Xin.
Liu Xin went to the place where Yao Feier made an appointment with her as quickly as possible.
