During the next court time, Feng Jiu blocked Mutong's way and asked Mutong to go to Yong'an Palace.
Mu Tong thought Mu Ci was looking for him about the assassination last night. He was also worried about Mu Ci and speeded up to Yong'an Palace.
Mu Ci had already prepared a table of breakfast.
"I have already had breakfast before entering the palace." Mu Tong responded and sat down.
Mu Ci smiled and said, "Brother, please accompany me and eat some more. It has been many years since I have been able to have breakfast with my brother. My brother has been fighting outside for many years, and I am also struggling to survive in the harem. We, brother and sister, sat down
There are very few opportunities to have a quiet meal."
Mu Tong considered himself a rough man and was usually not good at observing, but this time he vaguely noticed that Mu Ci's mood was not right.
He was stunned for a moment before asking, "What do you want to say to your brother?"
Mu Ci glanced at him: "Let's talk while eating."
As she spoke, she put Xiao Yu'er into Mu Tong's arms.
Mu Tong hurriedly took the dumpling. The little guy was still young and could already laugh. When he saw Mu Tong, he didn't recognize it and grinned at her.
Such a good-looking child made Mu Tong's heart heat up.
He didn't dare to move and held the child carefully, "Your Highness's facial features are more like the emperor's. He looks really good."
Mu Ci glanced at Xiao Yu'er and replied: "I ate a lot of fruits when I was pregnant, and I didn't dare to eat spicy ones. The reason the little guy grows well is because I was very careful when I gave birth to him."
Mu Tong deeply agreed: "After you became a mother, you have become a different person. I was just going to ask you, what did you do to offend the emperor? The emperor is still unwilling to see you. If you have done something wrong
Yes, you should take the initiative to apologize to the emperor. The emperor is a sensible person and will not blame you."
Mu Ci burst into laughter: "The matter between the emperor and I will be resolved on our own, brother, don't worry too much."
It was just Lou Lan's matter, and she didn't know how to explain it clearly to her brother.
Mu Tong saw that Mu Ci was hesitant to speak. He took a sip of the porridge and said, "If you have anything to say, just tell your brother. There is no need to hide it. If there is anything I can do for you, I will be happy to help you."
This is his most beloved sister, and she has suffered a lot in the palace to be where she is today, and he understands that.
Mu Ci remained silent.
She finished her breakfast in silence, and after about a quarter of an hour, she said to Mu Tong: "Originally, I shouldn't have interfered in my brother's marriage, but this time, I'd better listen to my words and make it clear to Miss Lou."
Mu Tong never expected that Lou Lan would be involved.
He put down his bowl and chopsticks and asked in a deep voice: "What's the reason?"
"She is not your lover. And I can see that she doesn't really like her brother. She just wants to shoulder the burden." Mu Ci straightened his expression and stopped beating around the bush.
After all, the brother must stay away from Lou Lan. Lou Lan must not be allowed to marry his brother under any circumstances, otherwise Dugu Liancheng will become even more convinced that their brother and sister are not involved with Dugu Lianyun.
Dugu Lianyun is a very planned and scheming person, calculating every step she takes. She doesn't know what Dugu Lianyun will do next, and nothing good will happen.
"How do you know she doesn't like me?" Mou Tong asked without being angry.
Sometimes he would feel that Lou Lan was more like a friend to him, but he still had feelings for Lou Lan. He thought that it would only take a while until Lou Lan married him, and he would try his best to be nice to Lou Lan. In the future, Lou Lan would eventually be
Will fall in love with him.
I didn't want Mu Ci to see through this fact at a glance.
"Brother should also be able to see that she doesn't like him that much?" Mu Ci calmly said: "In that case, has brother ever thought about whether she is approaching him with a purpose? How does brother know that she is not an enemy of the country?
The spy came here to get close to my brother?"
Mu Tong looked at Mu Ci in disbelief: "Impossible!"
"Why is it impossible? My brother is a general who governs the country and has great military exploits. If the enemy wants to use a honey trap to deal with him, wouldn't he fall into the enemy's trap? Furthermore, does he know where she is from and who she was before?
?" Mu Ci asked aggressively.
Mutong was speechless for a moment and couldn't answer.
Lou Lan never mentioned her family to him, nor did she have any friends. Although he had doubts, he chose to ignore it because he respected her.
Mu Ci's questions are all obvious and he is avoiding them.
"Look, my brother can't answer the question, which shows that my considerations are normal. My brother can marry a wife he doesn't like, but for the sake of the Great Xia Kingdom, he must never marry a woman of unknown origin. Doesn't he agree?
"Mu Ci said quietly.
Mu Tong couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Sure enough, there is no good banquet."
His biological sister invited him to breakfast, but it was to separate him from the woman he liked.
"Brother, please think carefully about what I said. Sometimes, feelings are not just a matter of two people, especially when it is related to the fate of the country." Mu Ci lowered his eyebrows as he said, "Brother, I'm sorry, it's all my fault."
If it hadn't been for her, perhaps Dugu Lianyun wouldn't have sent Lou Lan to get close to his brother.
"Silly girl, what are you talking about? If Lou Lan has a problem, it's because I'm blind and it's my own problem. What does it have to do with you?" Mu Tong didn't know Mu Ci's complicated thoughts.
"Brother doesn't understand..." Mu Ci's words faded away.
She can't talk about Dugu Lianyun yet. Since Dugu Liancheng has not told his brother about it, it means that the time has not come yet.
"By the way, brother, do you know why the emperor left the palace?" Mu Ci changed the heavy topic.
"I don't know." Mu Tong replied absently.
When Mu Ci saw this, he didn't know what to say.
After that, Mu Tong felt depressed, and Mu Ci said a few more words before Mu Tong got up and left the palace.
After sending Mu Tong away, Mu Ci's mood was not high either.
Her brother was an upright man, and she was not worried about whether he would choose between a big country and a small family. But it was unclear whether Lou Lan would be easy to get rid of.
As for An Rong, after this battle, she suddenly fell ill.
The so-called illness comes like a mountain, and this is the case for An Rong. This is the first time An Rong has been so seriously ill in the many years since she entered the palace. With this illness, she can't even get off the bed.
The result of Jiang Yuan's diagnosis was that An Rong was worried too much, which was a heart disease. She needed to let go of her worries before she could completely recover.
An Rong was feeling groggy. She felt that many people were coming and going in front of her, but she had no fighting spirit at all. She even felt that this would be the end of her life and she would never be able to defeat Mu Ci.
An Rong was unable to eat for three consecutive days, and she lost weight rapidly. Even Jiang Yuan thought that Concubine An was about to die.
Mu Ci was surprised when he received the news.
She thought that An Rong was not such a short-lived person. When she died in her previous life, An Rong was still fine. Will many things in this life have to change?
