Chapter 861: Someone is manipulating behind the scenes
"Before leaving the palace, the emperor specially put Concubine An under house arrest in the Buddhist hall. In your opinion, does Concubine An have any way to communicate with the outside world?" Mu Yao thought thoughtfully.
Although Dugu Liancheng thought carefully and imprisoned An Rong, everyone said that An Rong was very scheming. Even if such a person is grounded, if he has the intention, he can still find ways to harm others, right?
"This..." Guixiang felt that Mu Yao's question was very tricky, and she didn't know how to answer it.
"You don't dare to say that she can't get out, which means that she has a chance to contact people outside and harm my sister again, right?" Mu Yao's eyes were burning.
Guixiang nodded: "Yes, there is a chance."
Since Dugu Liancheng is not in the palace, it is the best time to take action against Mu Ci and his son. No one wants to miss this opportunity easily.
Coupled with the fact that a large family like the An family was naturally not willing to let Mu Ci dominate the post.
The position of queen is so attractive that everyone wants it. Of course, the most desired position is the position of prince.
"How can people like my sister harm anyone? These people are also seeking their own death." Mu Yao said, and suddenly sighed softly: "I miss you so much."
As soon as Guixiang heard this, she made an excuse and walked away to avoid the question.
Something really happened that night.
The eldest prince suddenly suffered from diarrhea. After hearing the news, Mu Ci rushed to Chuxiu Palace as quickly as possible.
Doctor Zhang was diagnosing the eldest prince. When he saw Mu Ci coming, he hurriedly bowed to Mu Ci.
"Without courtesy, it is most important to treat Nian'er." Mu Ci sat down with Sizhu's support.
Doctor Zhang concentrated on taking the eldest prince's pulse, and then performed acupuncture on the eldest prince...
Mu Ci watched nervously. When she saw Concubine He Xian with red eyes out of the corner of her eye, she remembered that she only cared about the eldest prince and forgot about Concubine He Xian.
"Are you okay? Diarrhea is not a big deal. Don't worry, Nian'er will be fine." Mu Ci patted the back of Concubine He Xian's hand.
Concubine He Xian shook her head: "There's nothing wrong with me. I just feel guilty when I see Nian'er suffering and being unable to help. It's me who can't help the child."
"Nian'er has been well taken care of by you. You don't need to blame yourself. Nian'er will be fine in a while." Mu Ci said, focusing on the eldest prince again.
Doctor Zhang was busy for more than half an hour before he finally got the eldest prince to stop his diarrhea.
Mu Ci felt relieved and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in her abdomen.
She knew that she was too nervous just now and forgot that she was pregnant with another child.
She ignored the discomfort in her abdomen and asked, "What's going on with Nian'er?"
"Your Highness has a bad gastrointestinal condition. Diarrhea is caused by eating some unclean things. Now there is no serious problem." Dr. Zhang replied truthfully.
"Logically speaking, the palace attendants around Nian'er should know about Nian'er's health. Why would he still eat unclean food?"
Mu Ci was about to find someone to find out what happened.
But when she turned around, she saw Concubine He Xian, and felt that it was not good for her to take the spotlight.
"Look into Nian'er's matter carefully, and you need to pay more attention to your food. It's getting late, so I'll go back and rest first."
Mu Ci was afraid that something might happen to the child in her belly, so she didn't dare to stay here any longer, so she stood up and left.
"The queen's phoenix body is important. I will find out about Nian'er and send her to the queen." Concubine He Xian said respectfully.
Mu Ci nodded and left Chuxiu Palace.
"The fourth girl has just come into contact with His Highness today, and His Highness had diarrhea at night. Is this a coincidence?" Yingchun murmured to herself.
Mu Ci, who was sitting on the chariot and was dozing, opened his eyes when he heard this and asked quietly: "What do you think?"
"I don't think this is a coincidence. Someone clearly wants to frame the fourth girl. Maybe there will be many rumors spread tomorrow morning." Yingchun said in a very determined tone.
After seeing this routine too many times, she can guess what's going to happen next.
"Then let's see if it's what you said tomorrow morning." Mu Ci touched his stomach.
Fortunately, I was not feeling well at all before, but I have recovered now, so it should be nothing serious.
Sizhu saw some details and asked: "Is your Majesty not feeling well? Do you want to ask Dr. Zhang to check your pulse?"
"I'm fine, I don't need to work anymore, Doctor Zhang." Mu Ci replied quietly.
She knows her own body.
"If your Majesty feels unwell, don't force yourself to hold on. The emperor's heir in your belly is the most important thing."
As soon as Sizhu said this, Yingchun was stunned, "Your Majesty is pregnant again?"
"Keep your voice down. I didn't tell you before because I was afraid that you would talk nonsense." Sizhu scolded.
The Spring Festival is still in a state of surprise.
She soon remembered that the emperor didn't know about the empress's happiness. The emperor was concealed by the empress, and she was also concealed within reason.
Thinking about it this way, she is now on the same level as the emperor, so she should be happy.
Mu Ci's pregnancy was not as easy as last time, and it was too late. She returned to Yong'an Palace and quickly fell asleep.
On the second day, the news about the eldest prince's poisoning and diarrhea spread in the harem.
Soon, someone contacted Mu Yao about taking the eldest prince back to Chuxiu Palace, and some people were even sure that Mu Yao poisoned the eldest prince.
The eldest prince laughed when he heard the news: "Mu Jieyu didn't give me food, how could I be because of Mu Jieyu's poisoning?"
Mr. Zhang already said that he was not poisoned, but just ate unclean food.
I don’t know who is spreading the rumors.
Concubine He Xian also laughed when she heard what he said: "Do you, my child, like Mu Jieyu?"
On weekdays, he is not seen helping other concubines.
"Mu Jieyu is the queen's sister. Yesterday, my son discovered that she likes him very much. He believes that Mu Jieyu is not a bad person." Dugu Nian responded.
Concubine He Xian touched the child's head and said: "No matter how much you trust someone, you should be careful to avoid being taken advantage of."
She helped Nian'er get ready before ordering someone to send Nian'er to the study room.
When Yong'an Palace received the news from the harem, they were not surprised at all.
Sure enough, just like what Yingchun had thought yesterday, today everyone pointed directly at Mu Yao.
"If someone isn't behind this, I won't believe it." Yingchun said coldly.
It's just that you can use such despicable methods without fear of embarrassment in the world.
The eldest prince is so cute, how could anyone kill him?
"It's not necessarily that someone is spreading rumors deliberately behind the scenes. Maybe there are too many people who are jealous of the queen. Anyone related to the queen will also become a target. The fourth girl is the queen's biological sister, so it is reasonable that she will be implicated.
"Sizhu's ideas are not as extreme as Yingchun's.
Mu Ci nodded approvingly: "This possibility is also high. However, I still feel that Nian'er's diarrhea incident is not a coincidence, but should be a human plan."
After living in the harem for so many years, she had long since disbelieved that there were so many coincidences in the world.
