"I am now a person who has no desires and desires, but she cannot live without my friend. Now she is worried that I will see through her hypocrisy, and she is even more afraid. It will be a matter of time before I break up with her. , why not come as soon as possible?" Shen Manyun took a sip of tea and suddenly said: "Let's think of a way to give Mu Ci a message. If something happens to her, the emperor will be very sad."
Huixin was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Does the empress really want to help Mu Xiuyi?"
It is unimaginable that the empress once hated Mu Ci so much, but now she wants to help Mu Ci. This is something she never dared to think about before.
"I shouldn't talk nonsense in front of An Rong, otherwise An Rong wouldn't have thought of this poisonous plan. It was me who caused the disaster, and I should be the one to relieve Mu Ci's crisis." Shen Manyun said, Duan Zheng said: "This matter must be handled well, and we must not scare the snake."
"Yes, I'll take care of it right now. Madam, please feel at ease." Huixin responded and retreated.
That night, Yong'an Palace received a secret letter.
Yingchun opened the letter before telling Mu Ci the content.
"Concubine An is too mean. She actually came up with such a vicious plan to deal with the empress. It's so bad!" After Yingchun read the letter, she was so angry that she cursed the Three-Character Sutra.
Seeing this, Sizhu said: "I don't know if it's true or not yet, so don't get angry first."
"It's probably true. Concubine An is indeed vicious and sinister. It's just that she was released from confinement and she thought of such a vicious way to deal with the empress. Such a vicious woman makes me want to kill her with my own hands!" Ningxiang clenched her fists.
"Do you still remember how she used to be indifferent to the world?" Sizhu sighed softly.
An Rong at that time looked harmless and friendly. How many people were deceived by An Rong like that?
"Of course I remember. It's because I remember that I think this woman is scary." Ningxiang gritted her teeth as she spoke.
Several palace maids were discussing how vicious An Rong was, but Mu Ci was wondering who sent this secret letter. How could that person know that An Rong thought of using this method to deal with her?
"Could this letter be sent by Concubine Zhen?" Sizhu asked, sensing Mu Ci's thoughts.
"How could it be Concubine Zhen? Concubine Zhen hates the empress for a long time. Even if she knew about Concubine An's evil plan, it is unlikely that she would have tipped off the concubine An." Ningxiang disagreed.
For a person who has hated your empress for so many years, it would be good if he did not harm her. It would not make sense to tip her off.
"She must be right." Mu Ci closed the letter, opened the lampshade, and watched the letter burn out.
"How can the empress be so sure that she is Concubine Zhen?" Ningxiang asked curiously.
"There are very few people whom Guifei An trusts. Only her cronies may know about her evil plans. The palace servants around her will not betray her, leaving only Concubine Zhen as the biggest suspect." Yingchun replied. .
Ningxiang looked at Yingchun: "But the empress and Concubine Zhen are enemies, why does Concubine Zhen want to help the empress?"
"It's very simple. What Shen Manyun hates most now is An Rong. What An Rong wants to get rid of most is me and my children. As An Rong's enemy, how could Shen Manyun just watch her enemy get carried away?" Mu Ci said softly. answer.
"There are no permanent enemies and no permanent friends in this world. Concubine Zhen and Concubine turned against each other, but Concubine Zhen became the beneficiary." Sizhu couldn't help but smile.
Who would have thought that Concubine Zhen, who once hated the empress so much, would turn around and help the empress one day? It is really unbelievable.
"Your Majesty has already sent people to keep an eye on the actions of Jingyang Palace. Even without Concubine Zhen, your Majesty will know about Concubine An's evil plan." Ji Rou's eyebrows were clear and her eyes were cold.
"When did the empress send someone there? Why didn't I know?" Ningxiang was confused.
Ji Rou was too lazy to pay attention to her and said with a straight face: "Now that we know An Rong's plan, everyone must wake up and not slack off in the slightest. Do you hear me clearly?"
"Listen clearly!" Mu Yu replied loudest.
Then she made a list, no matter where and whenever, three of the five of them must be with her. Especially when leaving Yong'an Palace, she must be more careful not to let An Rong take advantage of her.
Mu Ci looked at the list made by Mu Yu and smiled: "Your list is very interesting. But will you be too tired?"
He had to be by her side all the time, and he couldn't rest well at night.
In this way, An Rong's people would have no way to get close to her, and it would be even more difficult to take action.
If it were in the past, she would definitely be willing to take risks and punish An Rong. But this is her child, she cannot be willful, let alone careless, and she must be careful when she should be careful.
Of course, An Rong didn't know that Mu Ci had seen through her plan.
She could no longer tolerate Mu Ci being so proud in front of her for even a moment. She just wanted to kill Mu Ci and the evil in her belly to avoid future troubles forever.
About half a month later, she finally found the person. It was Zhao Zhangbin who was on duty at the Spencer Department.
Zhao Zhangbin had a younger brother who was seriously ill and lacked money for medical treatment.
Of course, An Rong couldn't personally come forward in this matter. Even if Shen Manyun was unwilling to come forward for her, she could still find another scapegoat to do the work for her, and that person was none other than Tao Meiren.
Zhitao bought a servant named Qiaohe who was serving Tao Meiren.
Qiaohe figured out this trick and found an opportunity to tell Tao Meiren.
After hearing this, Tao Meiren nodded repeatedly: "It is indeed a clever plan. With this method, Mu Ci can be eliminated in one fell swoop."
By then Mu Ci would no longer be able to show off his power in front of her.
"My servant also knows that Zhao, the boss of Si Binsi, is in urgent need of money..." Qiaohe said this about Zhao's control.
A flash of sharpness flashed in Tao Meiren's eyes: "What you did this time has won my heart. If it succeeds this time, you should be credited with the first credit."
Qiaohe received Tao Mei's reward and verbal promise, and happily went to work for Tao Mei.
Watching Qiao He go away, Ci Xin frowned and said, "Master, have you ever thought about the consequences if things don't work out and Mu Xiuyi finds out? This is not only the crime of murdering the ninth concubine, but also murder.
The emperor’s crime, is the master sure that he wants to do this? And..."
"Okay, mother-in-law, you will never accomplish anything like this. Qiaohe still knows how to think of ways for me, but you only pour cold water on me." Tao Meiren listened impatiently to Cixin's analysis of the powerful relationship.
"Master, please listen to me again. I always feel that it is strange that Qiaohe suddenly gave me advice. Maybe there is someone behind the scenes who wants to use my master's hand to get rid of Mu Xiuyi. Then something will happen.
That man was unscathed, so the master has become a scapegoat..."
Under Tao Meiren's gaze, Ci Xin's words gradually faded away.
It is said that good advice is harsh to the ears, and the master is unwilling to listen to her, a servant's opinion, and there is nothing she can do about it.
