Chapter 804: Jealousy makes her beyond recognition
Mu Ci felt heavy.
Although she entered the cold palace early and died early in her previous life, she thought that the development of the plot in her previous life should be similar to the trajectory of this life. Dugu Lian Yunding also wanted to fight back and regain the throne.
"What I can't understand is, since you value the throne, why did you give it up back then? Now that you gave it up, why did you want to take it back?" Mu Ci frowned.
She couldn't figure out what Dugu Lianyun was thinking.
Why would he go to such trouble to get something back that he gave up so easily? Is giving up and taking back the throne just child's play to him?
"You don't understand..." Dugu Lianyun poured himself a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.
"I don't understand. Then tell me. If you tell me, maybe I will understand." Mu Ci looked at Dugu Lianyun with burning eyes.
Dugu Lianyun filled another glass of wine for himself: "I will tell you if I have the opportunity in the future, but not now. This opportunity will wait until I stand on the throne again, and I will tell you the answer. The main reason why I came to you today is
I want to talk about Xiaosi."
Upon hearing what he was going to say about Mu Yao, Mu Ci immediately became wary.
Her guarded look made Dugu Lianyun laugh and cry: "I know you value this sister, but you should be more careful about her. She is no longer a child..."
Upon hearing what Dugu Lianyun said, Mu Ci frowned: "She likes you so much, but you say bad things about her behind her back?!"
"Mu Ci, you have always been smart. There are some things I don't want to say more about, but -"
As soon as he opened his mouth, Mu Ci interrupted him and said, "If you have nothing else to say, I'll leave first. I still say the same thing, if you cause civil strife in Xia because of your own selfishness, you will be a sinner."
A selfish man cannot be trusted with what he says.
But the moment she walked out of Plum Blossom Pavilion, she suddenly felt a little uncertain again.
It's just because the four most trusted palace maids around her don't like Mu Yao. She understands that they are eager to protect the master, so they don't like Mu Yao. But is there a possibility that Mu Yao really has a problem?
This thought passed quickly, and she was thrown away from her thoughts.
Mu Yao is her sister, and she has suffered a lot over the years, so she cannot doubt her easily. She also believes that time will tell how Mu Yao will fare with people's hearts over time.
Originally, she wanted to ask Zhen'er how she was doing now, but the conversation with Dugu Lianyun just now didn't make sense, so she could only put it aside for the time being and ask again next time when she had a chance.
Making up her mind, she quickly returned to Yong'an Palace.
Not wanting her to enter Yong'an Palace, she saw Mu Yao was there.
She was playing with Yu'er in her arms, and Yu'er was grabbing Mu Yao's face. After seeing her, she happily opened her hands toward her.
Mu Ci stepped forward and hugged the child. The little guy was very happy when he was in her arms. He was bulging up and down in an exaggerated manner.
With a smile in her eyes, Mu Yao looked at the heartwarming scene of Mu Ci holding Xiao Yu'er: "Yu'er is a very obedient child, especially attached to your mother."
"Children are like this. By the way, why are you here at this hour?" Mu Ci asked.
Mu Yao usually came here during the day, but this was the first time he came here at night.
Mu Yao's eyes flashed slightly, "I had nothing to do, so I went out for a walk, and ended up walking around here, so I just came in to take a look. I didn't know that my sister was not here..."
Mu Ci kissed Xiao Yu'er's pink face and said, "Since you're here, just sit down for a while before leaving."
She ordered Sizhu to serve tea, while she carried Xiao Yu'er into the inner room.
Mu Yao followed Mu Ci and asked casually, "Where did sister go just now? I asked Yingchun, but she didn't know. Isn't she usually by your side?"
Mu Ci couldn't see Mu Yao's expression, but it was obvious that Mu Yao's sudden arrival at Yong'an Palace was not accidental, but rather that she had received some news.
"As long as I have Sizhu waiting for me. I can't stay in Yong'an Palace all the time. I go out and walk around more or less on weekdays." Mu Ci did not answer the question that Mu Yao wanted to know most.
Mu Yao also saw that Mu Ci was avoiding her question.
She frowned, her expression a little strange.
Mu Ci was minding his own business playing with Xiao Yu'er, but Si Zhu next to him saw it clearly, and Mu Yao couldn't control the expression on her face.
Is it true that Mu Yao came here to see the empress this time? He actually received the news that the empress went to the Plum Blossom Pavilion, so he came to investigate?
Is the empress deliberately not giving the fourth girl a happy time? She wants to test the fourth girl's reaction, right?
Sizhu quickly brewed the tea and sent it to Mu Yao.
Mu Yao took the tea and took a sip, but she didn't expect the tea to be very hot. She blushed and shouted: "Are you trying to burn me to death?"
"I'm sorry, it's the slave who is clumsy. The fourth girl wasn't burned, right?" Sizhu said in a good-tempered manner.
Mu Yao was still about to have an attack, but then Mu Ci looked over. She immediately changed her face and calmed down the anger on her face: "Be careful next time."
After saying that, she went to Mu Ci and said, "Where did you go just now? Can't you tell me?"
Mu Ci showed a peaceful smile: "I just walked around casually, there is nothing to say."
She also wanted to know if Mu Yao was really as extraordinary as Dugu Lianyun said. Dugu Lianyun wanted her to guard against Mu Yao, but Mu Yao was her biological sister, how could she guard against him?
A look of struggle flashed in Mu Yao's eyes, but in the end she couldn't hold it back: "You don't want to tell me, right? After all, I still don't treat me as your sister, otherwise you wouldn't be on guard against me."
"Didn't you already know the answer to where I went? In that case, why bother testing me?" Mu Ci looked calm.
Mu Yao closed her eyes and said hoarsely: "I just want to know what the elder sister and the young master said. Why did the young master come to the elder sister but didn't know to say anything to me? I feel uncomfortable."
She was jealous of Mu Ci and thought about controlling herself more than once, but she couldn't help it.
"Is this why you came here?" Mu Ci's expression remained unchanged.
Seeing that her reaction was so bland, Mu Yao felt a little angry for some reason.
"Since I entered the palace, I haven't had a chance to meet him. He left me to fend for myself in the palace. Now that he has finally entered the palace, he avoids me and sees my sister alone. How can I balance this?
?" Mu Yao's expression began to distort.
Mu Ci looked at Mu Yao steadily.
This Mu Yao is abnormal. From her expression and her overwhelming possessiveness towards Dugu Lianyun, we can tell how much she cares about Dugu Lianyun.
"Have you ever thought that even if it wasn't me, he wouldn't choose you. Since he is a man who doesn't care about you, why are you still crazy about him?" Mu Ci said calmly.
Mu Yao, who likes Dugu Lianyun, seems to be overly paranoid. Is this Mu Yao the person Dugu Lianyun said she should be wary of?
"of course not!"
Mu Yao murmured that if it weren't for Mu Ci, Dugu Lianyun would definitely not avoid her like he does now.
