Chapter 757: Asking Concubine An Gui for an explanation
Feng Jiu talked about his experiences outside the palace during these times.
He only found out at the border that Lou Lan's background was not simple, and it took him some time to find out about Jincheng. Therefore, he made a special trip to Jincheng.
This investigation actually found the king of Zhou.
After listening to Feng Jiu's report, Mu Ci looked a little solemn.
Dugu Lianyun was really pervasive, placing countless people around her and Dugu Liancheng.
If she hadn't seen that Lou Lan had no affection for her brother, she wouldn't have had the idea to find out Lou Lan's background, and later she wouldn't have found out about King Zhou.
Yes, if Dugu Liancheng knew that Dugu Lianyun was still alive, he would definitely know that Dugu Lianyun came for his throne.
People like Dugu Liancheng would not sit still and wait for death. Therefore, when Dugu Liancheng left the palace this time, he probably found out the whereabouts of Dugu Lianyun and wanted to meet Dugu Lianyun for a while.
In other words, the situation will become increasingly tense next, and there is no way of knowing what will happen in the future.
Neither Dugu Lianyun nor Dugu Liancheng are good enemies. If these two brothers confront each other, it is not certain who will win.
"I'm calling General Mu to come to the palace immediately. I have important matters to discuss with him." Mu Ci gave the order.
Just as Feng Jiu was about to accept the order, Mu Ci remembered that she had just sent Sizhu to find Guard Zhao before. If she sent her brother to the palace, it would only make An Rong suspicious.
So there is no need to rush this matter, let's wait until she deals with An Rong before making any plans.
"Wait a minute, let's put this matter on hold for now and wait until tonight." Mu Ci said again.
Yes, there is no rush.
Even if Dugu Lianyun wanted to come back, it would not be easy and it would not be possible within a few days. The most important thing was that Dugu Liancheng was a good emperor. Except for the few heirs, the country of Daxia was peaceful and peaceful under his governance.
It is not easy for an emperor to be overthrown who has no faults in his political performance.
Therefore, there will be no problem with Dugu Liancheng's throne for the time being.
She only needed to tell her brother clearly that there was something wrong with Lou Lan's origins, and figure out how to say it. It was the first time in so many years that her brother was attracted to a woman, but this woman had ulterior motives. She didn't know how sad her brother would be after hearing this.
Sizhu quickly finished his work and returned to Yong'an Palace to return his message to Mu Ci.
"Guard Zhao has helped me many times, you have to thank him on my behalf." Mu Ci said to Sizhu with a smile.
Sizhu's expression was a little uncomfortable. She didn't know whether to say that Guard Zhao liked her. She couldn't say such a thing.
"Yes, empress." Sizhu said calmly.
"Sizhu, why are you blushing?" Yingchun looked at Sizhu curiously.
Sizhu blushed again, and she said squeakingly: "No, no. I'm a little thirsty, so I went to find some water."
"Have you ever found Sizhu strange?" Yingchun complained to Mu Ci.
Mu Ci suppressed a smile: "I think she is normal, but you are overthinking her."
In this aspect, Yingchun is more enlightened than Sizhu.
This way, when she plays matchmaker for the Spring Festival in the future, this girl won't be too vigilant, which is good.
"Why do you think this slave girl is smiling more and more cunningly?" Yingchun murmured to herself.
Mu Ci straightened his expression: "What did you just say?"
Yingchun blushed: "My slave didn't say anything."
She had forgotten that she was a slave. Her empress had a noble status, how could she allow a slave to ridicule her like this?
Mu Ci smiled: "I'm scaring you. You go down, I need to rest for a while."
Yingchun retreats at the sound of spring.
Next, is the battle at night.
Mu Ci was waiting in Yong'an Palace, but An Rong, who was in Jingyang Palace, was a little nervous. When it was time to take action, she felt that what Platycodon had said before was reasonable. It was too reckless to let the assassin kill Mu Ci.
It will cause trouble.
But now that the matter has come to this, she has no way out and can only bite the bullet. Maybe the assassination can go smoothly.
At midnight, two men in black suddenly broke into Yong'an Palace.
The other party went straight to the main hall.
The assassins originally wanted to be surprised, but they didn't know that a trap had already been set in Yong'an Palace. As soon as they showed up, they were surrounded by many chamberlains, and these chamberlains were all very skilled, so they were obviously well prepared.
As soon as the assassin had a fight with these servants, he knew he had been fooled.
They didn't want to assassinate Mu Ci at the moment, they just wanted to escape.
Mu Ci also appeared at this time, watching the battle from a distance.
The masters An Rong hired were really good at martial arts, but the masters sent by her brother were among the best. How could the assassin be their opponent?
With just a cup of tea, the assassin was captured and captured by Mu Ci.
Of course, these two assassins were not dead soldiers. They did not prepare poison in advance, so they could only admit that they were unlucky and were caught unawares.
Mu Ci slowly walked up to the two assassins and said softly: "If you want to survive, make a deal with me. By the way, not only are your lives in my hands, but the lives of your family are also in my hands.
In my hands. So as long as you cooperate with me, I can guarantee that your family will not be implicated..."
The two assassins did not expect that Mu Ci would make a deal with them.
Moreover, Mu Ci did not shy away from asking them to testify that the murderer was Zhili from Jingyang Palace.
Although they guessed that the concubine of the inner palace wanted to kill Concubine Chen, the person they came into contact with was definitely not a slave of Jingyang Palace. Concubine An would not be so stupid as to expose Zhili to them.
Mu Ci had already expected this, and that's why he proposed making a deal with the assassin.
When Biyu heard the news and rushed over, she saw that the assassin had been restrained.
She hurried to Mu Ci and asked, "Is your Majesty okay?"
"I am fine, and Yu'er is also fine, but these two assassins just confessed that it was Zhili from Jingyang Palace who paid them to assassinate me." Mu Ci said, looking at the two assassins, asking them to tell them what happened before.
Repeat it again.
What the two assassins said was indeed true, but they just described the masked woman who gave them the stolen money as a pear.
When Biyu heard this, her expression was heavy: "How are you treating Concubine Chen?"
"Of course I'm going to Jingyang Palace to ask Concubine An for an explanation." Mu Ci said, and asked someone to take the assassin with him, and headed towards Jingyang Palace in a mighty manner.
An Rong was anxiously waiting for news in Jingyang Palace. When she heard that Mu Ci had brought people and the assassins had also arrived, her face changed slightly.
Zhili's expression also changed, and she subconsciously looked at An Rong: "Your Majesty the Imperial Concubine..."
An Rong didn't look at her and said coldly: "The matter is over, let's wait and see what happens."
Now she had no time to deal with the aftermath, so she could only wait for Mu Ci to come to her door and see what Mu Ci said.
Mu Ci quickly led everyone inside, and Biyu was among them.
The two assassins were thrown in front of An Rong, and one of them immediately hugged Zhili's leg: "Miss Zhili, you said that this matter is absolutely fine. As long as you kill Concubine Chen, you can give the younger one a big gift."
For a pen of silver, you have to save the little one."
