An Rong lowered her eyelids and did not take Shen Manyun's words seriously.
Based on Shen Manyun's intelligence, it is impossible to get rid of Mu Ci. However, Shen Manyun does not have a deep understanding of his own strength and always thinks that he is very capable.
"Sister, please don't rush into action. Don't do anything you're not sure about, lest Mu Ci catches you. Before I leave Beigong, sister should just be patient. I will avenge my revenge with my own hands." An Rong decided to persuade Shen Manyun.
Shen Manyun will still be useful in the future. Even if he is going to die, it is not time to die in vain.
"Then I listen to my sister." Shen Manyun said, asking Huixin to bring food and daily necessities: "These are the snacks I specially ordered people to make. They are all your favorites. I will make them some other day. Send it to the North Palace. Anyway, my sister needs to be well. I have a good sister like you in the harem, so you can’t just be depressed and unable to recover."
"Thank you sister for still thinking about me." An Rong responded, took a piece of snack, and nodded while eating: "It's delicious."
Shen Manyun sat for a while longer before getting up and leaving.
Stepping out of the gate of the North Palace, the smile on Shen Manyun's face gradually disappeared. She touched her cheek: "I am so exhausted."
She didn't have An Rong's ability, but she just pretended to smile for a while and then became a little unbearable. It was hard for An Rong to lie to her for several years.
"Since your Majesty doesn't like to be hypocritical with Concubine An, then don't come here again. In the worst case, let the slaves deliver food to the North Palace, and your Majesty won't have to face Concubine An's hypocritical face." Huixin also reassured her unabashedly. Rong was unhappy.
Shen Manyun sneered: "I and she are good sisters. If my sister is in trouble, how can I not show up? This is too fake. You have to be in the show, otherwise how can you deceive a shrewd villain like An Rong?"
"Your Majesty's words make sense. I think it's not easy for Concubine An to get out of the cold palace this time. Maybe she has to wait until Mu Xiuyi gives birth to the emperor's heir before she has the chance to leave the North Palace. Mu Xiuyi's pregnancy should be Stable." Hui Xin expressed her thoughts.
Shen Manyun shook his head and said: "You underestimate the women in the harem. According to me, as long as Mu Ci doesn't give birth for a day, her pregnancy cannot be said to be safe."
As for An Rong's inexplicable loss of a child, we still don't know who committed the murder. Even An Rong couldn't find the real culprit, that person must have certain abilities.
Therefore, someone may have been keeping an eye on Mu Ci's pregnancy, but who that person is is unknown. It is not a simple character after all.
"Your Majesty's words make sense." Hui Xin agreed.
The two masters and servants talked as they walked and quickly forgot about Beigong.
Mu Ci also knew about Shen Manyun going to Beigong to meet An Rong.
"It's not like they've reconciled again, right?" Ningxiang asked in surprise.
"I think it's impossible. Concubine Zhen knows that she has been used by Concubine An for many years, how can she reconcile with Concubine An?" Yingchun said, looking at Mu Ci.
Mu Ci knew that this girl wanted to get her approval, so she thought for a while and then said: "Yingchun's words make sense. If it were me, knowing that An Rong has a vicious heart and is always taking advantage of me, I would not be with such a person. There is no friendship. However, the superficial peace still needs to be maintained. Many people in the harem live with masks, and Concubine Zhen is not as ignorant of the world as she was when she first entered the palace."
Her words silenced everyone.
Growth is not necessarily a bad thing, but it is not necessarily a good thing either. You will always make progress after suffering losses.
The days flew by so quickly.
In the blink of an eye, from autumn to winter, it is already the time of year.
Although the harem without An Rong had some twists and turns, there was no one else who could achieve as much as An Rong and could pose a threat to Mu Ci's heir.
Qi Luo had more than enough energy, so he could only watch Mu Ci's belly getting bigger day by day, but could do nothing.
On the other hand, the emperor stayed in Yong'an Palace. Except for the time when he was in court, he stayed with Mu Ci most of the time, waiting for her to give birth.
An Guogong and Ningchang Hou jointly petitioned more than once to put pressure on Dugu Liancheng and wanted him to let An Rong out of the cold palace, but Dugu Liancheng had a tough attitude this time and never agreed.
Mu Tong, who had been away from the capital all year long, finally returned to Beijing to meet the saint.
Mu Tong has been named the Grand General of the Kingdom. This time he returns home in fine clothes. In addition, Mu Ci has not seen Mu Tong for three years, so she is also very nervous this time.
Previously, she had planned to go to the city gate to greet Mu Tong in person, but because of her big belly, Dugu Liancheng refused, so she had no choice but to give up.
Mu Ci was waiting at the entrance of Yong'an Palace. When he saw Mu Tong in military uniform, he couldn't wait to welcome him out: "Brother!"
"Slow down!" Dugu Liancheng saw Mu Ci's reckless look and broke into a cold sweat for her.
With such a big belly and the ability to walk so fast, this woman has never been worried.
Mu Tong stared at Mu Ci's belly in shock: "Is your belly so big?"
Although he already knew that Mu Ci was pregnant, he didn't expect that Mu Ci's belly would be so ridiculously big.
Mu Ci laughed: "Women's belly is always so big when pregnant. It's only been more than six months, and it will get bigger as time goes by."
"Are you tired?" Mu Tong wanted to reach out to help Mu Ci, but felt that it was not in line with etiquette, so he had to stop.
"Walking will be a bit hard, but the baby will be born in more than three months. It will be fine if it takes a few more days of hard work..." Mu Ci kept staring at Mu Tong: "Brother has already reached the age of getting married, but have you ever met your heart?"
A happy woman?"
Mu Tong didn't expect that Mu Ci would suddenly ask about his life events. He looked slightly pale and couldn't explain why.
Mu Ci is a sensible person, and he can tell at a glance that his brother has a heart that pleases him.
"What's the name of the girl that my brother likes? How old is she and what does she do? When will you bring her back to Yaju to meet your mother?" Mu Ci asked a series of questions.
Mu Tong's face turned even redder. He was forced by his sister to have no power to fight back, so he could only look at Long Live Lord for help.
Dugu Liancheng saw Mu Tong's embarrassment and answered, "General Mu has just returned to Beijing. Let him sit down and have a sip of tea first. Don't worry."
"How can we not be anxious? He has been in his twenties for more than 20 years, and he is fighting outside all day long. My mother is worried to death about this matter..." Mu Ci started to ramble again.
Dugu Liancheng and Mu Tong looked at each other and felt deeply that Mu Ci talked too much after becoming pregnant.
Later, Dugu Liancheng changed the topic, and Mou Tong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As a result, when Mu Tong left the palace, Mu Ci had not yet asked him the name of the woman Mu Tong was happy with.
Mu Ci talked about this matter to Dugu Liancheng for a long time. When Dugu Liancheng listened, he deeply felt that the more people he saw, the more fireworks he saw in front of him.
In the past, when she faced him, she would always just answer a question, but now she treats him as a family member.
