"I can talk about the Emperor's whereabouts if I want to. If I don't want to talk about it, I won't. Faced with you so-called court ministers who are so arrogant and rude, I naturally have no desire to talk to you." After a pause, Muci said.
The volume suddenly increased: "I say it again, get out of the way!"
Mr. Li wanted to retreat, but because of his face, he still stayed put.
Other ministers did not dare to look into Mu Ci's eyes. Seeing that Mr. Li did not retreat, they also stayed where they were.
Seeing the strange atmosphere at the scene, Dugu Lianqi smoothed things over and said, "If you have anything to say, discuss it carefully so as not to hurt the harmony..."
"Prince, just shut up!" Mu Ci became angry when he heard what Dugu Lianqi said.
He acted without any sense of responsibility and pushed her out because he couldn't solve the problem. Is this what a prince should do?
Dugu Lianqi looked slightly embarrassed and did not dare to say another word.
"I hope your Majesty will put the overall situation first and reveal the whereabouts of the Emperor." Mr. Li said in a low voice.
Mu Ci chose a comfortable position and sat down: "Then just use it up."
Does she need to be anxious if she wants to know the whereabouts of Dugu Liancheng? But Dugu Lianqi said that she knew, and she couldn't say that Dugu Lianqi was lying at this time.
Mr. Li did not expect Mu Ci to react like this, and the others also looked at each other in confusion.
Mu Ci doesn't want to say it, so they can't force her to say it, right?
This woman is simply unreasonable when she acts rogue.
When it was meal time, Sizhu brought the meals.
Mu Ci ate as if there was no one around, while the ministers could only stare.
The stalemate lasted for about two more hours. The other ministers were so hungry that they couldn't bear it, but Mu Ci had enough to eat and drink, and took a break in the afternoon on the imperial concubine's couch.
"How about we ask again next time?" One of the ministers said to Mr. Li.
Mr. Li replied coldly: "No one is allowed to leave Yanfu Palace today unless we ask about the emperor's whereabouts."
Mu Ci opened his eyes after hearing this and replied quietly: "If the emperor comes back and knows that you are forcing me like this, I wonder how the emperor will deal with you?"
"If the emperor can return to the palace, I will let you do whatever you want! Concubine Chen should put the overall situation first. It is better to tell the emperor's whereabouts so that I can go and welcome the emperor back to the palace..."
As soon as Mr. Li finished speaking, he heard Dugu Liancheng's voice behind him: "I asked you to die to apologize, will you die in front of me immediately?"
Everyone was shocked and turned around at the same time, only to see Dugu Liancheng standing at the door at some unknown time.
Mu Ci was also surprised and happy. She looked towards the source of the voice and saw Dugu Liancheng standing with his backlight. His face could not be seen, but his eyes exuded a dark edge that made people panic.
Behind him, Xiang Ling stood.
"Your Majesty?" Mu Ci stood up in a hurry and rushed to Dugu Liancheng.
When she got closer and saw Dugu Liancheng's face clearly, she suddenly felt that the man in front of her was a bit strange.
She couldn't tell what it felt like. They had the same face, same height, same voice, and even the same eyes, but she still felt something was wrong.
"You..." Mu Ci's voice was stuck in his throat. He wanted to say something, but couldn't utter a single word.
"I'll talk to you later."
Dugu Liancheng said, wanting to hold Mu Ci's hand, but hesitated for a moment.
Mu Ci happened to see this detail.
Before she could see clearly, Dugu Liancheng had already passed her and went to sit on the dragon chair.
At this time, Xiang Ling had quietly retreated.
He glanced around with cold eyes, looked at everyone present, and opened his lips coldly: "What do you need to see me for?"
Including Mr. Li, no one expected that Dugu Liancheng would suddenly appear.
Everyone just came to see Dugu Liancheng, but they never thought about what would happen after meeting Dugu Liancheng.
"You are really my good ministers. I am not in the palace, so you despise my harem like this?" Dugu Liancheng coldly glanced at everyone present.
Mr. Li didn't dare to say anything, and naturally others didn't dare to speak either.
Everyone knelt on the ground, not daring to look at Dugu Liancheng.
"Since you like to stay in my palace, then kneel here properly. Without my order, you will kneel down and die in front of me!" After Dugu Liancheng finished speaking, he looked at Dugu Lianqi.
Dugu Lianqi's heart trembled, thinking that the emperor brother wanted to settle a score with him, so he hurriedly said: "I know I was wrong. Brother Emperor, it is my fault. I will never dare to do it again in the future!"
Dugu Liancheng looked at Dugu Liancheng with complicated eyes.
Dugu Lianqi was so frightened by what he saw that he said calmly: "These days when the emperor brother is not in the palace, they come to question the ministers every day. Emperor brother, they are the ones who deserve to be punished. If you want to punish them, punish them!"
He temporarily took over the government, so he had no merit but hard work, right?
Dugu Liancheng stood up, turned around and left without saying anything.
Mu Ci looked at Dugu Liancheng's back and wanted to chase after him, but couldn't let go of the strange feeling in his heart.
What's wrong with her?
Dugu Liancheng is back fine, she should be happy, why does she still have such a strange feeling?
When she reacted and chased out, she saw a bright and bright girl in red flying towards Dugu Liancheng.
She stood there, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.
Seeing that the girl in red was about to throw herself into Dugu Liancheng's arms, Dugu Liancheng turned his body sideways to avoid the girl in red's wolf attack.
Mu Ci saw it in his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.
Just now she was really afraid that Dugu Liancheng would accept the girl's embrace.
The girl in red seemed to feel what Mu Ci was feeling. She looked over and smiled at Mu Ci: "You are Concubine Chen, right? So beautiful!"
Mu Ci smiled slightly: "Who are you?"
"My name is Yuzhi, and I saved the emperor! And I decided that I want to be the emperor's woman. The emperor said at that time that no matter what I wanted, he would agree to it. I said I would commit myself to it..." Yuzhi
Zhi said, looking at Dugu Liancheng, his face red.
Dugu Liancheng didn't look at Yuzhi, his eyes fell on Mu Ci's face.
His eyes were dark, like an eternal night that was frozen in place, with no end in sight.
Mu Ci's palms were sweating. She had never seen Dugu Liancheng like this before. This person didn't look like him.
how could be?
If this is not Dugu Liancheng, who else could it be?
"As long as you come back safely, I'll go back first." Mu Ci stood for a while before finding his voice.
Dugu Liancheng nodded slightly, his eyebrows softened: "I'm fine, don't worry. I'll go see Yu'er later."
His eyes were fixed on Mu Ci's face, lips, and her body, as if he had never seen her before.
Mu Ci felt numb at the sight of him. She put aside her confused thoughts, lowered her head and ran away from Dugu Liancheng's sight.
Yes, run away.
For the first time in her life, she felt a little embarrassed when being looked at by Dugu Liancheng like this. It was clearly not a disgusting look, it was just that he looked at her and made her blush.
