Mu Ci wrapped his arms around Dugu Liancheng's waist, leaned into his warm embrace, and said softly: "Yes, you have to protect your country. Only in this way can you protect our Yu'er. The late emperor, my
After just a brief encounter, I found that he was difficult to deal with."
Yu'er is the blood of Dugu Liancheng. If the country changes hands and Dugu Lianyun becomes the emperor, will he keep Yu'er?
She wasn't sure either.
"I will do my best to protect you." Dugu Liancheng said in a deep voice.
Mu Ci got out of his arms and asked about business: "Last time you left the palace to find the late emperor, what did you find out that time? What is the current situation?"
"The situation is not optimistic. King Zhou does have a close relationship with the emperor's brother. The Zhou family is not in trouble, but after all, he is the richest man in the Xia Kingdom and can give the emperor a lot of help, such as weapons and food supplies. Ningchang Marquis has not yet
I found out the evidence, but I suspect that Ningchang Hou will cooperate with the emperor brother in the future. Also, I don’t know if the emperor brother has anyone who has placed him in the palace..."
When Mu Ci heard this, he also felt that the situation was serious.
People from Dugu Lianyun are everywhere, it seems like there are people from Dugu Lianyun everywhere.
"There are also people from him in the Prince's Palace of Ling'an, and the concubine who was kicked out of the Palace of Ling'an last time also has an origin. I asked Mu Yu to marry into the Palace. The original purpose was to make Mu Yu keep an eye on the Palace of Ling'an and not let the late emperor alienate her.
The brotherhood between you and King Ling'an, and my brother's side..." Mu Ci could no longer hide anything at this time, and told everything truthfully.
Dugu Liancheng looked solemn when he heard what she said.
After much thought, he still felt that there was something he should let her know.
"Have you ever thought about why I kept Mu Yao's brand?" Dugu Liancheng said in a deep voice.
Mu Ci's face turned pale when he heard this.
The two of them were talking about Dugu Lianyun, and bringing up Mu Yao at this time was simply because there was something wrong with Mu Yao's origins.
"She is also a Dugu Lianyun?!" Mu Ci's voice was hoarse and full of uncertainty.
"Although it is not completely certain, it is very likely. My people once captured a maid who was working in the Zhou Mansion. The maid who called the emperor brother had a woman named Xiaosi next to her. It happened to be,
When you were a child, you would mention Xiaosi to me every time you entered the palace. Later, I had a portrait of Mu Yao drawn and asked the maid to identify it, and the maid said that Xiaosi was the woman in the portrait..."
Dugu Liancheng explained how he discovered Mu Yao's identity in this way.
Mu Ci's expression had completely changed.
I used to live in two rooms in Mu Mansion.
There were three girls in Mu Yu's room, and two daughters in Mu Zhi's room. Mu Yao ranked fourth. When she was a child, she always called Yao'er Xiaosi. Every time she entered the palace, she couldn't help but look at Dugu Liancheng.
Mention Mu Yao.
"Later, the eldest maid was secretly disposed of. At this time, Mu Yao came to the palace to be drafted, so I left her in the palace. If she was really the emperor's brother, even if she was not Mu Yao, she would be someone else. It happened that she
It’s your sister, you are also looking for her, so I simply kept her.” Dugu Liancheng said softly: “Brother Huang is really thoughtful, he has thought of all the possible places to make a fuss. One Li Waner is not enough, let’s have another one.
Mu Yao, and she is your biological sister."
Mu Ci was still in shock and didn't know what to say.
"There is another thing you should know. Mu Yao likes the emperor, and the emperor never forgets you, so this is the most fundamental reason why Mu Yao hates you." Dugu Liancheng followed Mu Ci and sat down.
Mu Ci's throat was dry: "So that's it."
She asked why Mu Yao hated her so much. Even though she was loved when she was a child, before leaving Mu's house, Mu Yao didn't hate her sister as much as she does now.
The word "love" can break a person's heart, or change a person beyond recognition.
"Mu Yao's disappearance in the palace is most likely the mastermind behind Mu Yao's actions. Your presence blocks her way, do you understand?" Dugu Liancheng revealed this matter again.
Mu Ci smiled bitterly: "At that time, I also felt strange why Miss Zhou, who was raised in a boudoir, could actually know about Mu Yao's disappearance in the palace."
It turned out that Mu Yao wanted her to return to the palace, so he used himself as bait to "send" her back to the palace in this way.
"It's not appropriate for you to have a showdown with her yet. I kept her in the palace mainly because she is your sister. Although the memory of my childhood is far away, I still remember your joy every time you mentioned Mu Yao." Dugu Liancheng held her hand.
Mu Ci's hand: "The next step is to see if you can pull her back. If not, you have to be mentally prepared."
Mu Ci knew what he meant.
"Understood, I won't tell her about it rashly." Mu Ci said, and suddenly said: "During my wedding six years ago, she ran back to the capital from Xiaoyao Villa. Thinking about it, she didn't
She only returned to Beijing for my wedding, but it was because I married Dugu Lianyun that she suddenly came back." Mu Ci took a deep breath: "I remarried that year, which indirectly changed Mu Yao's fate, right?
"
Mu Yao must have crossed paths with Dugu Lianyun only after returning to Beijing.
Maybe Dugu Lianyun faked his death in Dingshan Temple and Mu Yao discovered this secret. How he became Dugu Lianyun's person later is unknown.
This sister of hers has always been very independent and far-sighted.
"Stop thinking nonsense. Mu Yao has had feelings for the emperor many years ago. Even if you don't marry the emperor, she still won't like you. You must know that from the beginning, the emperor likes you, not Mu.
Yao." Seeing Mu Ci's dejected look, Dugu Liancheng knew the impact this incident had on her.
It would be okay if Mu Yao was someone else, but Mu Ci was just a biological sister. She used to like Mu Yao so much, but now they are on opposite sides.
There is no doubt that the person Mu Yao supports is the emperor's brother, and Mu Ci is his woman. On the day when he and the emperor's brother meet in battle, the Mu sisters will definitely turn against each other.
That night, Dugu Liancheng stayed at Yong'an Palace, and the news quickly spread throughout the harem.
I originally thought that Mu Ci would never turn over again, but it turned out to be the opposite. It seemed that Mu Ci's return to favor was unthinkable, and it also seemed like a matter of course.
After all, everyone has mixed feelings.
As soon as Shen Manyun heard the news about Mu Ci's return to favor, he immediately used this matter to stimulate An Rong.
An Rong still looked indifferent to the world. After hearing this, her expression was as usual: "It's normal for her to regain his favor. The emperor simply can't let her go. If she can't regain his favor, then she is no longer Mu Ci."
Shen Manyun sneered in her heart and secretly said, "Just pretend, keep pretending!"
"But don't you think this woman is really an eyesore? With her here, how can there be a way out for other concubines? She continues to favor her, and making her his queen will be put on the agenda, right?" Shen Manyun gritted his teeth.
