After kneeling for about half an hour, Concubine He Xian and the eldest prince could no longer stand it.
They are usually delicate people, but now they are being tortured like this, which is really unbearable for them.
"Father, son, the son said, yes, it was Xiu Xiu who told the son that if Mu Xiuyi gave birth to a prince, the father would not want the son..." The eldest prince did not care about many things and put the palace that was serving him
People confessed it.
He was so aggrieved that he shed tears: "Since Mu Xiuyi appeared, my father has never seen me again. I am afraid that my father will not want me. I think it is because of Mu Xiuyi that my father doesn't want to see me."
Xi'erchen."
Mu Ci was a little surprised when he heard this.
She didn't know about this. Has Dugu Liancheng not seen the eldest prince for such a long time?
After all, this child is also the heir whom Dugu Liancheng values the most. How could Dugu Liancheng neglect the eldest prince because of her?
Dugu Liancheng didn't seem to expect this answer. He looked at the eldest prince with complicated eyes, and after a while he stepped forward to help the child up: "How could my father not want you? From the first day you were born, my father has always loved you.
I have high hopes for you.”
This matter had nothing to do with Mu Ci. It was because of his own grudges that he alienated the child.
The eldest prince burst out laughing when he heard this: "Really?"
"Of course it's true." Dugu Liancheng touched the child's head with rare tenderness: "In the future, you can't unreasonably shift the blame to others. As a man, you should act responsibly."
"Then if Mu Xiuyi gives birth to a younger brother one day, will the father no longer want his son?" The eldest prince asked cautiously.
"It's all nonsense. No matter how many children I have, you are a unique being, do you understand?" Dugu Liancheng scolded lightly.
The eldest prince nodded vigorously, stepped forward and helped Concubine He Xian up: "My son and minister are unfilial, and this will bring harm to my mother and concubine."
Concubine He Xian looked at the child lovingly, "Just think about it. Concubine Mother has long said that Mu Xiuyi is a good person, but you don't believe it. Can your father's words be trusted now?"
The eldest prince looked at Mu Ci timidly.
Everyone knew that Mu Ci was the murderer of his biological mother.
Although his father said that there was a reason for the incident and that it was his biological mother and concubine who made the mistake first, it is also true that Mu Ci was ruthless.
"Now that you know you were wrong, should you apologize to Mu Ci?" Dugu Liancheng said with a straight face.
The eldest prince lowered his head and went to Mu Xiuyi to apologize. He looked decent, but Mu Ci could tell that the knot in the eldest prince's heart was not relieved.
Of course she would not make things difficult for a child. She had raised this child for a while, but unfortunately her "old grudge" with the eldest prince was a gap between her and the eldest prince that could not be easily bridged.
After Concubine He Xian left with the eldest prince, Mu Ci said to Dugu Liancheng: "Nian'er is still a child after all, so you shouldn't be too harsh on him."
"I have a sense of discretion." Dugu Liancheng patted the back of Mu Ci's hand, but did not show his face, as if he had something on his mind.
Even during lunch, Dugu Liancheng spoke very little.
Mu Ci usually doesn't talk much, and it's impossible to find something to talk about at this moment.
After finishing her lunch, she left Yanfu Palace.
Yingchun broke the silence and said: "The emperor seems to pay special attention to His Highness the eldest prince. If a prince is appointed in the future, the emperor will definitely appoint an eldest prince?"
When Mu Ci heard this, he looked at her and said, "You and I can't comment on the matter of establishing a crown prince. The emperor has his own opinions."
Dugu Liancheng personally said before that the eldest prince is the most unique existence. In this case, it is reasonable for Dugu Liancheng to make the eldest prince the prince.
Sizhu whispered to the side: "If the empress gives birth to a prince one day, I hope that the little prince can be established as the prince..."
Mu Ci frowned coldly: "You have been in the palace for all these years, do you still want me to teach you what you can and cannot say? If these words are spread, do you know what the consequences will be?"
No matter how much Dugu Liancheng dotes on her, he can't ignore this happening.
The establishment of a crown prince is a state matter, and concubines in the harem cannot discuss politics. This is a matter of course.
Sizhu and Yingchun looked at each other and replied at the same time: "Yes, I know I was wrong."
"If you know you made a mistake, you must correct it. You must not bring up this topic again in the future, not even when there is no one around." Mu Ci looked serious.
Even before she was pregnant, it was ridiculous for them to think about setting up the little prince as a heir.
Sizhu and Yingchun responded at the same time, neither of them dared to say anything.
After Mu Ci returned to Yong'an Palace, she forgot about this incident.
Two days later, the news about Mu Ci's false pregnancy suddenly became known to everyone in the harem. Everyone said that Mu Ci had tried so hard to get out of Chenxiang Palace and dared to deceive the emperor and lie about being pregnant. This would be beheading.
of great sin.
After An Rong received the news, she immediately went to Yanfu Palace to see Dugu Liancheng.
But as soon as she arrived in front of Yanfu Palace, she was blocked by guards, and Dugu Liancheng didn't want to see her at all.
She waited for a full day, but Dugu Liancheng did not come out to see her.
Dugu Liancheng, who was in Yanfu Palace, was also frowning.
He was already buying time for Mu Ci and wanted her to get pregnant as soon as possible to close this loophole.
At this critical moment, someone exposed this lie. How should he help Mu Ci fulfill this lie next?
He told this lie in order to get Mu Ci out of Chenxiang Palace. It had nothing to do with Mu Ci in the first place, but now Mu Ci has become the target of public criticism because of this incident. This was not his original intention.
At the moment, all she can do is count on Mu Ci's belly to be strong enough to conceive the emperor's heir as soon as possible.
Mu Ci, who was in Yong'an Palace, was unaware of Dugu Liancheng's complicated thoughts. When she heard the news about her false pregnancy, she was not surprised at all.
Which of the women in the harem who are like wolves and tigers is vegetarian? If they suspect that she is falsely pregnant, testing her in this way is the best result.
An Rong would be so impatient and want to give advice to Dugu Liancheng, but she didn't expect it.
This kind of thankless task, according to An Rong's calm temperament, An Rong would not usually come forward rashly.
But this time she came out of Chenxiang Palace and there was news of good news, which still made An Rong confused, otherwise she wouldn't have been rushed to the hospital because of her illness.
Just by touching Dugu Liancheng's negative side like this, Dugu Liancheng will only have a bigger prejudice against An Rong, right?
After all, the planner of her wedding was Dugu Liancheng.
An Rong wants to find an imperial doctor to treat her. Isn't this tantamount to slapping Dugu Liancheng in the face?
If she were Dugu Liancheng, she would not be satisfied that her imperial concubine was so ignorant.
"Your Majesty, should we think of a way to deal with it?" Sizhu glanced at the calm master and was so anxious that he couldn't stand still.
Yingchun also looked anxiously: "Your Majesty, please give me a message!"
It's true that the empress is not in a hurry to kill the palace maid.
"What solution can I think of? My stomach is not up to par, and I am helpless. I can't stuff a little emperor's heir into my stomach." Mu Ci was very innocent.
