"Be on duty well, do more work and talk less. Your Majesty will not be able to treat you badly." Kikyo said concisely and then walked away.
"Boring gourd." Zhixiu muttered softly. Seeing that it was getting late, he took a rest early.
A night of silence.
On the second day, something happened in the Ningchang Hou Mansion.
I heard that evidence of the Marquis of Ningchang's defection to the enemy and treason was found in the Mansion of the Marquis of Ningchang. Although I don't know whether these evidences are true, the entire Marquis of Ningchang's Mansion has been surrounded by people from Dugu Liancheng.
Naturally, the Marquis of Ningchang was not spared. He was imprisoned in a prison where no one could see him.
All the ministers who were close to the Marquis of Ningchang were also in danger, fearing that they would be implicated.
But except for a few ministers who were particularly close to the Marquis of Ningchang and were imprisoned in the natural disaster, others were not implicated.
Ningchang Hou, a sabotage minister, was imprisoned, and the rest were just a mob.
When Mu Ci received this news, he understood that Dugu Liancheng's move was to capture the thief first. Dugu Liancheng had previously said that he would deal with Ningchang Hou, and now this time was just right.
After eliminating the internal trouble of Marquis Ningchang, the next step is to go out to quell the civil strife, right?
She didn't see Dugu Liancheng again for several days. While she was relieved, she was also a little worried.
Although she knew that Dugu Liancheng was capable, she was still worried that he would be under too much pressure.
Another thing that bothered her was that she found something strange about her body.
She suspected that she might be pregnant again, but she didn't dare to check her pulse. She just counted the days silently. Sizhu was careful and discovered this detail, so he reminded her.
She asked Sizhu not to talk about it.
Dugu Liancheng will lead his troops on an expedition soon. If he knew that she was pregnant, how could he go far away without worry?
"Have you checked your pulse?" Sizhu remembered this matter and asked in a low voice when Yingchun was not around.
Mu Ci shook his head: "It's okay. I'll check again in a few days. Don't worry. Also, control your expression. It's a troubled time now. It's not appropriate to cause trouble to the emperor."
"How can this be called causing trouble? If your Majesty is lucky enough to be pregnant, I don't know how happy the Emperor will be." Sizhu whispered.
Just at this moment, Yingchun came in and saw their sneaky scene.
"What are the empress and Sizhu whispering? Can't slaves listen?" Yingchun looked at them curiously, barely asking what secret they were discussing.
Mu Ci held her hand: "I just asked Sizhu what kind of man she likes. Since you are here, I also want to ask you..."
"Your Majesty, please continue talking to Sizhu. I will go and watch His Highness the Crown Prince!" Upon hearing this, Yingchun ran very fast and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Mu Ci looked at her back and couldn't help but laugh.
Sizhu also laughed dumbly, and at the same time she was worried about her master: "I still feel that if you are happy, you should tell the emperor. The emperor has the right to know."
"Isn't this not confirmed yet?" Mu Ci also had an ostrich mentality.
She was thinking that as long as she wasn't diagnosed, she wasn't necessarily pregnant, so she didn't hide it from Dugu Liancheng, so Dugu Liancheng wouldn't be able to blame her in the future.
"Your Majesty, just keep dragging it. If the Emperor knows about it, you might get angry with your Majesty again!" Sizhu saw through his master's little thoughts at a glance.
Mu Ci smiled bitterly and continued to struggle with himself.
Anyway, I can't say it anymore. If she is really pregnant, wouldn't it be nice to wait for Dugu Liancheng to return in triumph and then give Dugu Liancheng a big surprise?
Besides, this is her decision and has nothing to do with anyone else. Even if Dugu Liancheng blames her in the future, she will not regret it.
Dugu Liancheng took some time out of his busy schedule that night and came to Yong'an Palace again.
As soon as he saw Mu Ci, he hugged her tightly and said, "I miss you so much!"
Mu Ci leaned in her arms: "Yu'er and I are here anyway. Come and have a look whenever you want. Are you very tired these days?"
"I'm not tired. I'm happy to finally get rid of that bastard Ningchang Hou!" Dugu Liancheng said with a smile.
Mu Ci was hesitating about how to send him away later, but he next said: "I have to go back to Yanfu Palace to deal with government affairs later. I wanted to stay here, but you will distract me, so let's forget it."
Already."
Now is not the time for children to be in love.
If he can't keep his throne, how can he protect his wife and children? The days are long, and although he wants to guard her all the time, she probably doesn't like such a man, right?
"Then you are busy with business!" Mu Ci replied impatiently.
He is not here, which is exactly what she wants.
Dugu Liancheng looked at Mu Ci suspiciously: "Why do I think you are very happy?"
She is excited that he is leaving?
Mu Ci quickly shook his head: "I feel bad that you are so busy with state affairs now and have to take my feelings into consideration. I hope you can take care of yourself while handling state affairs. Yu'er and I need you very much.
."
Finally, she poured a pot of honey soup into Dugu Liancheng. If she didn't believe him, she wouldn't accept the goods.
As expected, Dugu Liancheng smiled happily and said, "I will sit here for a while and then leave."
As a result, he sat there for half an hour before reluctantly leaving.
The moment he walked out of Yong'an Palace, he couldn't help but sigh: "It's really not a good thing for children to love each other forever."
Obviously there were still a lot of things that had not been dealt with during the day and were piled up at night. Gu Zhiqing was still waiting for him to discuss some details.
"The emperor must listen to the Queen and take care of his dragon body." Li Yu said boldly.
Anyway, as long as the Queen is moved out, the Emperor will not blame him for talking too much.
As expected, when Lord Long Live heard this, he echoed him and said: "The queen is doing it for my own good, so of course I have to listen to her. By the way, you have to send people to keep an eye on Yong'an Palace, and don't let anyone have the opportunity to harm Mu Ci."
"Yes, I don't have to worry about it, slave." Li Yu responded loudly.
Here Mu Ci saw off Dugu Liancheng, smiling from time to time, and frowning from time to time.
"Have you missed the emperor so quickly?" Yingchun asked curiously.
Didn't you just leave?
Mu Ci didn't want to talk to Yingchun.
Yingchun simply asked Sizhu: "I'll tell you everything, why don't you tell me why I'm so distracted?"
It seems it's not because I miss the emperor.
The Queen doesn't seem like a person who loves her children, so there may be other reasons.
"You don't even know, how could I know?" Sizhu was too lazy to talk to Yingchun.
The reason why I kept it secret from Yingchun was because Yingchun’s big mouth was very likely to leak the news.
"I hear you say this, are you jealous that my wife and I are getting closer?" Yingchun couldn't hide her pride.
Sizhu simply pulled Yingchun out and said in a low voice: "Don't bother me, Madam, you are fine with everything except your mouth."
Her words were met with a fist from Yingchun.
In the end, Yingchun said that she understood: "What you can't tell me must be unspeakable. My mouth is not trustworthy, so you might as well not tell me."
