An Rong's face changed slightly, but she soon calmed down: "I was lax in my concubine's care, and a thief broke out. Please ask the emperor to atone for my sins."
"Now that things have happened, you still dare to lie?!" Dugu Liancheng suddenly shouted: "Someone saw Zhitao throwing away this tea. Do you want me to call the witnesses? You must know that people came here and testified.
You, I can't let you off easily! An, you are not the kind of person I thought you were."
An Rong knelt on the ground and looked directly at the Ninth Five Supreme Being in front of her: "Who does the emperor think I am? Do you have no desires and no demands? Which woman in this harem doesn't want the emperor's favor, and I want it too. Is it wrong?
What?"
"What a sharp mouth. Now you have done something wrong, but you are talking about it, it is unreasonable!" Dugu Liancheng gave an order in a deep voice: "From today on, you will be confined to Jingyang Palace, without me.
Order, don’t go out!”
An Rong couldn't believe that Dugu Liancheng would restrain her feet, "Your Majesty..."
"Back off!" Dugu Liancheng said and no longer looked at An Rong.
An Rong looked at his cold look, her heart was as cold as iron.
The emperor was just using the topic to play off the topic. Is it because she sent people to Yong'an Palace and the emperor was afraid that she would harm Mu Ci, so he confined her to Jingyang Palace?
Is Mu Ci that important?
For the sake of Mu Ci, he actually banned her feet for such a small thing.
An Rong was full of reluctance, but she had no choice. The honor and disgrace of all women in the harem was nothing but a word from the emperor. If the emperor said that her feet were forbidden, then she could not walk around in the harem.
Even if Lu Yun and Hong Yue wanted to contact her, they couldn't.
The emperor's move was to draw fire from the bottom of the cauldron.
When he wants to protect someone, he naturally has a way.
After returning to Jingyang Palace, An Rong threw away a tea set, but it was still difficult to eliminate the resentment in her heart.
Damn Mu Ci, what kind of ecstasy soup did she pour into the emperor? The emperor wants to protect her like this?!
Zhitao also learned about the empress's confinement. The emperor did not say how long the confinement would last. The empress might not be able to leave Jingyang Palace until Mu Ci was born.
The emperor's move was so poisonous that the empress was so full of tricks that she couldn't even take action.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to be sad. She has been sent to Yong'an Palace. As long as they succeed, the piece of meat in Mu Xiuyi's belly will not be saved. Thinking about it this way, it is a good thing that the Empress is grounded. Then the account will be gone.
It will not be blamed on the empress." Zhidao tried her best to appease An Rong's emotions.
An Rong's eyes were sinister, "Do you think Mu Ci is such an easy person to deal with? How could they succeed without me helping them behind the scenes?"
Zhitao thinks things too simply.
Seeing what An Rong said, Zhidao didn't say anything.
She knew that it was a fact that the empress was banned, and whether Lu Yun and Hong Yue could succeed in the future would only depend on their luck.
News about An Rong's ban quickly spread throughout the harem.
Everyone hates this thing. Some people say that the emperor banned An Rong because An Rong threw away the gift given by the emperor, but some people say that this kind of thing will not make the emperor furious.
The emperor has never cared much about the affairs of the harem. He is the one who does big things. As long as the fights between women do not touch the emperor's bottom line, the emperor will not pay attention to it.
But this time, it was really unusual for the emperor to suddenly impose such a ban on An Rong.
Then news came out that the emperor was clearing the way for Mu Ci to successfully give birth to an heir.
And this news was spread by Qi Luo.
If others don't know, how can she not guess the emperor's thoughts?
The emperor was obviously afraid that someone would harm Mu Ci's unborn child, so he suddenly issued such an order.
The emperor had always favored Mu Ci, but now he loved her so much that he even locked up the noble concubine An Rong.
That being the case, she didn't mind letting everyone in the harem know how much the emperor cared about Mu Ci. Now that An Rong was banned, her original plan to kill someone with a borrowed knife could only be put on hold temporarily.
"Now that the news has spread, what will the empress do next?" Baozhu served Qi Luo's face.
The weather was hot, and even though I received an ice basin, the heat was still unbearable.
Just now, Qi Luo was feeling upset due to the heat, so Baozhu brought some ice water to make his master feel better.
"Originally, when Concubine An was here, she would definitely do her best to deal with Mu Ci. I only need to watch the excitement and add strength when necessary. Now that Concubine An is grounded, I can't think of a better way. Maybe the one who is secretly dealing with her is
Concubine An can find a way to deal with the emperor's heir in Mu Ci's belly." After Qi Luo cleansed his face, he felt cool and comfortable, and his anxiety also disappeared.
"Could it be that Mu Xiuyi was the one who killed Concubine An?" Baozhu thought of this possibility.
"Maybe it's Mu Ci, maybe it's not. If it's not Mu Ci, then the person who attacked An Rong behind the scenes is very powerful. Since that person can deal with An Rong, he will naturally have a way to deal with Mu Ci." Qi Luo's eyes flickered.
Shen said, "I also want to know who that expert is."
Who else in this harem can hide so deeply that no trace is revealed?
"Then let's wait and see, maybe that person will also take action against Mu Xiuyi." Baozhu thought optimistically.
Qi Luo didn't speak anymore, he just looked ahead absentmindedly, his mind wandering to nowhere.
Let’s go back to Yong’an Palace.
When Mu Ci heard the news that An Rong was banned, he was also surprised: "Why did the emperor suddenly ban An Rong?"
"The emperor must have known that Concubine An had sent people to Yong'an Palace. The emperor saw through Concubine An's trick, so he issued such a ban." Yingchun said with a smile: "The emperor cares about your empress, and there is an heir in her womb.
, the emperor will help remove anyone who poses a threat to the empress."
Mu Ci curled her lips, "Are you sure?"
Dugu Liancheng doesn't seem like someone who would interfere in harem affairs, so why would he ban An Rong because of her? Yingchun thinks too much.
"My servant also thinks Yingchun's words are reasonable. The emperor was driven away by the empress last time. It does not mean that the emperor does not know what is going on in Yong'an Palace. The emperor wants to protect the empress and the little emperor, and there are many ways. Who in the harem can escape the emperor?
Dharma eyes?" Sizhu echoed Yingchun's words.
Seeing them singing in harmony, Mu Ci half believed it.
Dugu Liancheng has only a few children, and he hoped that she would get pregnant before. But this time she is pregnant, and it is normal for Dugu Liancheng to be nervous.
However, she wouldn't take the initiative to ask him about it.
When Dugu Liancheng came over, Mu Ci was sewing clothes for the child in her belly.
Dugu Liancheng saw her clumsy and focused look, and his eyes radiated a warm light: "If it's hard, just let the embroiderer do it for you."
"It's not hard, I like doing it." Mu Ci smiled back at him.
Next, one concentrated on sewing the children's clothes, while the other watched carefully from the side, and sometimes exchanged a few words.
