Chapter 857 A late confession: I must have pleased you in my previous life
Mu Ci: "..."
"It's enough for us to have one prince. If we get pregnant again, just give birth to a little princess. Don't give birth to another prince, it will be difficult to raise!" Dugu Liancheng felt that this was a big deal.
The son will compete with him for the admiration, but the daughter is a little cotton-padded jacket and will not do such unfilial things.
He didn't say these truths, otherwise Mu Ci would definitely laugh at him.
As long as he thought that there might be another unfilial son like Yu'er competing for Mu Ci in the future, he couldn't be happy.
When Mu Ci heard Dugu Liancheng talk about the second child problem, her heart began to feel weak. She randomly found a topic to divert Dugu Liancheng's attention: "When will you go to war?"
When Dugu Liancheng heard this, he frowned: "Are you hoping that I will leave the palace quickly so that no one will bother you?"
"Where are you thinking? Last time you said that you would go on a military expedition after Yu'er's first birthday party. I just want to ask on the specific day, can you stop being a villain?" Mu Ci said in a dumbfounded voice.
Dugu Liancheng threw Yu'er to Sizhu, took Mu Ci to his side and sat down: "I thought it would be better to postpone it for a few more days and spend more time with you mother and son."
Mu Ci was startled, "Can this kind of thing be delayed?"
She thought that Dugu Liancheng would be eager to quell the civil strife, so it would be better to go to war as soon as possible.
"What can't be delayed?" Dugu Liancheng asked back.
Mu Ci felt that there was nothing wrong with what he said, but it sounded like a foolish king who was not doing his job properly. She wisely did not say this truth out loud, and said in a gentle voice: "I can't bear to leave the palace."
Her words made Dugu Liancheng's eyes light up instantly.
The two looked at each other, and a thousand words could be said in this look.
In the next few days, Dugu Liancheng still spent time in Yong'an Palace, and it was not until before the expedition that he had to start preparations for the expedition.
In the blink of an eye, the day came for Dugu Company to set off for the expedition. It was only at this moment that Mu Ci realized how scared he was.
Looking at Dugu Liancheng, who was dressed in military uniform, she obviously had a lot of things to say, but in the end, her thousands of words turned into just a word of respect.
Dugu Liancheng hugged Xiao Yu'er and kissed the child on the face: "Be filial to your mother, be sensible, be obedient, and grow up quickly, so that you can replace your father and protect your mother."
Mu Ci's eyes were slightly red, "I will take good care of Yu'er, and I will also take good care of myself. You don't need to worry about me and the child. You must put safety first and not be too stubborn. For the sake of me and the child, you must also take care of yourself."
Dugu Liancheng stepped forward and handed the little prince into Mu Ci's arms. Thousands of words turned into one sentence: "I will come back as soon as possible! You wait for me at home, and I will be safe. If there are any problems that cannot be solved, remember
Don’t be brave when sending me news, you know?”
Mu Ci nodded and replied softly: "It's a deal."
"It must be determined!" Dugu Liancheng finished speaking and got on his horse.
The horse walked a few feet away, and Dugu Liancheng turned back again: "Mu Ci, I remember you said that you and I were destined to be married in the past life."
"Yes, I said it." Mu Ci shed tears before she spoke.
"Then I would have liked you in my previous life." After Dugu Liancheng finished speaking, he rode away.
Mu Cichi stood where she was. The people led by Dugu Liancheng had long since disappeared, but she was still standing there, like a solid stone pillar.
"Empress, the Emperor has gone far." Sizhu reminded softly.
The emperor's words seemed to move the queen very much, otherwise the queen would not burst into tears suddenly.
Afterwards, Mu Ci realized that she had lost control of her emotions. She forced a smile: "I just remembered some past events and felt very emotional."
It is not in vain that she had a deep love for Dugu Liancheng in her previous life. At least, Dugu Liancheng responded. He had made it very clear before that he liked her in his previous life.
Even though he spoke so cryptically, she knew he wasn't lying.
No one knows how sad she was when she heard this life-delayed confession. Not everyone is as lucky as her. After a life-delay, she can still make up for the regrets of her previous life in this life.
Not everyone has the opportunity to be reborn and live their failed life over again.
"The Emperor will come back safely. Even though there are regrets in the past, the future is promising." Sizhu said, handing Xiao Yu'er into Mu Ci's arms: "Your Majesty, you can rest assured in the palace and wait for the Emperor to come back."
Mu Ci took Xiao Yu'er and kissed the child's pink face: "Yes, I'll just worry about him coming back."
She believes that Dugu Liancheng can quell this civil strife and regain Jincheng. As long as Dugu Yun is defeated and Dugu Lianyun's help is cut off, Dugu Lianyun will no longer be a threat to Dugu Liancheng.
"I can see that sister likes the emperor very much." Mu Yao's voice suddenly sounded out of thin air.
Mu Ci heard the sound and looked back, only to see Mu Yao standing behind her at some point. She must have seen everything before.
"It's probably just like you like Dugu Lianyun." Mu Ci didn't avoid it.
"But the man I like and the man my sister likes can't coexist. Only one of them can dominate the world. Since ancient times, the winner is the king and the loser is the villain. If one of them loses, will one of us sisters also become the loser?" Mu Mu
Yao sighed softly.
Mu Ci felt that what she said was reasonable: "This is probably fate."
Sometimes, it’s okay not to accept your fate.
But she has always refused to accept her fate. It was just step by step that she reached where she is today and has everything she has now. Not even Mu Yao can take away her happiness.
"If the young master wins this battle, I will beg him to let the emperor go, so that my sister can still live a life as an ordinary couple with the emperor. You are my sister, and I don't want to force you to a dead end." Mu Yao said with a very serious expression: "
I think it is impossible for the young master to lose to the emperor."
Mu Ci thoughtfully said: "But the Emperor will definitely win. Even if the Emperor wins, he will not kill Dugu Lianyun, because Dugu Lianyun is a very special person to the Emperor."
"But I have confidence in the young master. I still think that the country of Daxia should belong to the young master. If it were not for the young master's success, the throne would not belong to the emperor." Mu Yao insisted on her opinion.
Mu Ci said softly: "It seems that none of us can convince anyone."
It was because she had experienced her previous life that she was sure that Dugu Liancheng could win the battle for the throne between the Dugu brothers.
"Then let's wait and see." After Mu Yao finished speaking, she turned and walked away.
Ningxiang looked at Mu Yao's free and easy back, a little fascinated.
Seeing her like this, Ji Rou sneered: "What are you thinking about?" Didn't you say that she didn't like Mu Yao? Why did Ningxiang suddenly become so focused when she saw Mu Yao's back?
"I don't know why, but I always feel that the back of the fourth girl looks a bit familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere before." Ningxiang said thoughtfully.
Yingchun couldn't help laughing when she heard this: "It's not the first time you've met the fourth girl, so it's strange that she doesn't look familiar."
