Mu Ci was about to remind Mu Yu about this, but Mu Yu had already thought about it.
This girl is definitely a person who can do great things, and she is capable of bending and stretching. It is a pity that she has lost her good marriage.
"By the way, has your Majesty told the Emperor that Dugu Lianyun is still alive?" Mu Yu asked about this serious matter.
Mu Ci shook his head: "I haven't been able to meet the emperor these days. He seems to be very busy. I went to Yanfu Palace to find him, but he didn't have time to see me."
"Then you must hurry up and make it clear to the emperor to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings." Mu Yu warned uneasily.
Mu Ci thought this was reasonable.
After seeing Mu Yu off, she decided to go to Yanfu Palace again.
But when she arrived, she was blocked by the guards. According to the guards, Dugu Liancheng was meeting with important officials of the imperial court to discuss important matters, and she did not see anyone, including Mu Ci.
"Then I'll wait here." Mu Ci hugged the little prince.
The two guards guarding the door looked at each other, knowing the importance of Concubine Chen and the young prince. They quickly moved stools and asked Mu Ci to sit and wait.
Qiansheng Muci waited, but there was still no movement inside until an hour later.
Seeing that the little prince was hungry and crying, Mu Ci had no choice but to take the little guy back to Yong'an Palace.
After the little prince had eaten and drank enough and fell asleep, Sizhu whispered: "Have you noticed that the emperor has been unusual recently?"
Mu Ci's eyes flashed slightly: "Is there any?"
She thought she was overthinking it.
Just after she broke up with Dugu Liancheng that day, Dugu Liancheng was still very enthusiastic. But after she took the little guy back, she seemed to have never seen Dugu Liancheng again.
Although it is normal for an emperor to be busy, the situation is completely different when Dugu Liancheng is so busy that he can't even see him, and even Xiao Yuer doesn't come to see him.
It only means one thing: Dugu Liancheng is deliberately avoiding her, right?
She didn't want to doubt Dugu Liancheng before, so she tried not to think the worst about things. Now that even Sizhu has seen the clue, she should realize that she is not overly concerned.
"In the past, even if the emperor was angry with the empress, he would not see her without saying a word. Moreover, the emperor likes the young highness so much. Something must have happened, and the emperor deliberately avoided the empress." Sizhu expressed his conjecture.
After all, this matter is not simple.
Mu Ci felt that Sizhu's words were reasonable, and there was something unusual about this matter.
Recently, she was on guard against An Rong, fearing that An Rong would take the opportunity to kill Xiao Yu'er. There was another problem in Dugu Liancheng, and she really didn't know what to do.
Mu Ci, who had always been very independent, felt a little powerless at this time.
"Are you worried about Your Highness? Although Concubine An is very scheming, there is no need for the Concubine to be too nervous. We are all our people inside and outside the Yong'an Palace. It is too difficult for Concubine An to put her hand in. Concubine An is like this again.
You are smart, there is no need to worry at all." Yingchun saw that something was wrong with Mu Ci's mood and comforted her.
Because she was worried about the little prince, the empress even put the rouge button on the little prince, hoping that the rouge button could help the little prince avoid disasters and ward off evil.
It's just that the day after tomorrow is the empress's birthday.
The secret letter they received last time said that Concubine An would kill the young prince on the empress's birthday, which was why the empress was nervous.
"If Yu'er was born into an ordinary family, she wouldn't have to face such intrigues." Mu Ci sighed.
"Look, Yi Nu, ordinary people also have the same troubles. As long as there are many people in the back house, it is impossible to be too peaceful." Yingchun joked: "People like the empress are among the best, and they are born to be in a place like the palace."
Mu Ci smiled and stopped talking.
I wonder what An Rong plans to do?
This time, An Rong acted very secretly, and even Shen Manyun did not reveal it. This shows that An Rong had already thought of a way to deal with Yu'er when she was in Beigong.
Yes, why has she not figured this out until now?
Thinking of this, Mu Ci stood up and said: "I want to go to the North Palace. Ji Rou will accompany me. You all will stay well in Yong'an Palace. No one is allowed to come near!"
"Yes, empress!" Everyone responded in unison.
Mu Ci left Yong'an Palace with peace of mind and headed to Beigong.
It was the hottest time, but it was very cool in the Beigong. Perhaps it was because there were many trees planted here with lush branches and leaves.
Mu Xue was sitting in the pavilion drinking tea. She didn't expect that Mu Ci would suddenly come to Beigong: "You didn't come to visit me specially, right?"
Mu Ci sat down on the stone bench opposite her. She looked around the pavilion: "The scenery here is nice."
"The scenery is nice. How many years would you like to stay here?" Mu Xue said angrily.
"I just suddenly felt a little emotional. The cold palace has the advantage of being cold. At least there won't be too many calculations." Mu Ci paused and explained the purpose of his visit: "Do you usually pay attention to An Rong's movements? She lives in Beijing. Have you seen anyone during your stay in the palace?"
Mu Xue looked at her deeply: "You really asked the right person."
"You and her live here. If I want to ask about her situation in Beigong, I must ask you. Listening to what you said, she is indeed dishonest in Beigong?" Mu Ci suddenly became energetic.
Muxue thought about it carefully: "I don't know if it counts. You also know that this is a cold palace, and she and I usually live there. But a few nights, I heard some subtle noises, so I got up and took a look."
Mu Ci waited for Mu Xue to continue speaking, but Muxue pretended to be a bit unreasonable. She urged: "Continue!"
"First tell me why you asked about An Rong here." Mu Xue said calmly.
Mu Ci did not hide anything and told the truth about the situation.
"No wonder you would go there in person." Muxue said calmly: "I saw her leaving the dormitory for several nights and going to the back garden. She seemed to be passing letters and exchanging news with others. Because she didn't leave. It’s too close, so I don’t know if my guess is correct.”
But she did see a pigeon flying into the North Palace.
"Take me to see that place." Mu Ci stood up and said.
"It is impossible to leave any traces in that place, but once she received the letter and burned it, I picked up an unburned section of the letter after she left. The letter is incomplete, you may learn something from it if you study it. "Muxue said, taking Mu Ci to the bedroom and taking out half of the letter she had hidden.
Mu Ci took it and took a look and found that there were indeed signs of burning on the letterhead.
She looked carefully and found that many words had been burned out and the sentences could not be connected. One of the keywords shocked her when she saw it, which was the word "蛊".
Poison is the most deadly thing. It can fall on anyone, and it can happen without anyone noticing.
Wasn't the eldest prince once poisoned by poison?
Thinking of this, she said to Muxue: "Thank you very much. I didn't expect that you could still help me in Beigong. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely repay your great kindness."
