Thinking about this possibility, Mu Ci stood up quickly: "No!"
Her gaffe shocked everyone waiting on her.
"What's wrong with the empress?" Sizhu asked what everyone was concerned about.
Mu Ci's eyes flashed slightly, unable to say these things.
The only insider is Mu Yu, and now the only option is to find Mu Yu to enter the palace.
"Sizhu, please tell this palace to ask Princess Ling'an to enter the palace and go quickly." Mu Ci ordered in a deep voice.
Si Zhu responded and left.
About an hour later, Mu Yu appeared in Yong'an Palace.
After rejecting everyone, Mu Ci took her hand and expressed his worries.
After Mu Yu listened quietly, he said: "If this is really the case, then it makes sense for the emperor to neglect the empress."
Mu Ci frowned and said, "Didn't I ask you to call me sister? You are the princess now, and you have a noble status. Just call me sister, no matter your birth identity."
"Yes, mother...sister." Mu Yu smiled sheepishly, as she was not used to her current status.
"That's right." Mu Ci said, his face darkening again: "The emperor is very suspicious. If he had learned that Dugu Lianyun was still alive, he might have suspected that I was sent by Dugu Lianyun.
The details of the palace."
Furthermore, during the days when she lived at Zhou's house, Dugu Lianyun also lived there, which makes it even more unclear.
"Sister, don't worry too much. It's better to make it clear to the emperor first and clear up the misunderstanding. If the emperor knew that Dugu Lianyun was still alive, he would definitely have made arrangements. Maybe it was for this reason that the emperor didn't care about my sister.
"Mu Yu comforted Mu Ci and said.
Mu Ci smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Although I comfort myself in this way, this matter is not that simple. I know the emperor's temperament very well."
Dugu Liancheng's temperament has changed a lot in this life, but he is still essentially the suspicious emperor.
In addition, Dugu Liancheng once trusted Dugu Lianyun so much, and letting Dugu Liancheng know that Dugu Lianyun was not dead was just a scam. What did Dugu Liancheng think?
"I am the emperor's concubine, and Dugu Lianyun is the emperor's brother. He is someone whom the emperor once trusted. In his opinion, Dugu Lianyun and I worked together to deceive him. Maybe the emperor will think that Dugu Lianyun faked his death.
I knew about it from the beginning." After Mu Ci said this, he sighed softly: "It's not optimistic."
Mu Yu felt that Mu Ci's words made sense, but she didn't know how to comfort Mu Ci.
"You have survived the storms, so what does this little setback mean? The emperor loves you so much, why can he still be angry with you for the rest of his life? Don't worry about your face, just take the initiative to find an opportunity to make it clear to the emperor."
Mu Yu said from the perspective of a bystander.
How much I love Mu Ci, they, the bystanders, can see it most clearly.
"The emperor must be willing to see me." Mu Ci vaguely felt that things would not be too simple this time.
The two chatted for a long time before Mu Ci said goodbye and left the palace.
After sending Mu Yu away, Mu Ci felt that he should be proactive.
Dugu Lianyun didn't know when he would come back, but she and Dugu Liancheng were still angry. Now it was time to stand on the same front and face the outside world. No matter what, Dugu Liancheng was the father of her child, and they were a family.
Does the family still have an overnight feud?
Thinking of this, she took Xiao Yu'er in her arms and went to Yanfu Palace to meet the saint.
Of course, there was no surprise this time. She was blocked outside Yanfu Palace. This time, Guard Zhao was guarding the palace gate. When he saw Mu Ci, Guard Zhao immediately smiled: "I have seen Concubine Chen in my humble position, and I have seen Xiao Xiao."
Your Highness."
"No courtesy." Mu Ci had a good impression of Guard Zhao. She smiled and said, "I would like to see the emperor, please let me know."
"Yes, please wait a moment!" Zhao Wei did not dare to neglect and immediately ran into the main house to report the matter to Dugu Liancheng.
Dugu Liancheng didn't seem to hear him and didn't respond.
Guard Zhao knew that the emperor and Concubine Chen were at odds with each other, so he said: "Concubine Chen came here holding the young highness in her arms. She also said that the young highness misses the emperor, so she came to see the emperor. Your Majesty, do you think?"
Dugu didn't even raise his head and said, "I don't have time."
When Guard Zhao heard this, he became anxious: "But Concubine Chen..."
At this time, Dugu Liancheng looked at him with cold eyes.
Guard Zhao was short of breath for a moment, but he no longer dared to object: "Yes."
He hurriedly left the Yanfu Palace, came to Mu Ci and said, "I would like to inform you that your Majesty is dealing with political affairs. I am afraid that I will not have time to see you today."
Mu Ci had already expected that Dugu Liancheng refused to see her, so she smiled lightly and said: "It doesn't matter, then I can just wait here until the emperor finishes handling the political affairs. It's just that the sun is too hot, and Xiao Yu'er's skin is delicate, so I
I’m afraid my child will get sunburned…”
When Guard Zhao heard this, he was very surprised.
He ordered someone to bring a comfortable Taishi chair and asked someone to hold an umbrella to shade him from the sun.
After that, he saw that Mu Ci was not joking, and that he really wanted to wait for a day.
He thought for a while, then went to the imperial court again and told Mu Ci's current situation.
"Concubine Chen, it's okay. There's no harm in getting some sunshine. Your Highness is still young and your skin is delicate. You can't stand the sun like this. I'm afraid your skin will be damaged. Wei Chen has already ordered someone to hold an umbrella for Your Highness.
, but I’m afraid that I didn’t protect myself from the sun, so I came here specifically to ask for the Holy Will.” Zhao Wei spoke appropriately, but in fact he was worried that he would not be able to do things well and leave a bad impression on Concubine Chen.
After all, he still covets Sizhu, but he cannot let Concubine Chen think that he is useless and cannot protect Sizhu.
"Just go and bring Yu'er in." Dugu Liancheng ordered coldly.
Guard Zhao was a little stunned, and Li Yu was also at a loss.
From the time when the empress entered the palace to the present, even when the empress committed regicide, the emperor has never been so cold to the empress. It seems that the emperor has made up his mind to stay away from the empress.
"Li Yu, go and bring Yu'er in." Dugu Liancheng ordered Li Yu again.
Li Yu agreed and went out of the Yanfu Palace gate, "Your Majesty, your Majesty ordered your servants to carry His Highness into the palace for inspection."
Mu Ci was also happy: "If Yu'er is hungry, remember to tell me."
"Yes, empress." Li Yu said and took the little prince away.
Mu Ci sat An An at the door of Yanfu Palace, chatting with Guard Zhao from time to time, and soon found out all about Guard Zhao's family background.
Zhao Weiwei is twenty-five this year and has been in the palace for more than ten years. He has a clean financial background. Now he only has his old mother and one younger sister at home, living in the capital.
Mu Ci saw that Guard Zhao had an upright temperament, and his eyebrows lit up when he mentioned Sizhu. Even a blind person could see that he had thoughts about Sizhu.
With Guard Zhao chatting with her, the time she spent waiting outside Yanfu Palace was not too difficult.
When it was time for lunch, Yingchun came over with food, five dishes and one soup, all her favorite meals. Only when she was so full that she could hardly walk, Yingchun returned with satisfaction.
Not long after, Sizhu and Jirou came again and prepared a royal couch for Mu Ci so that he could take a lunch break.
