"So you want to test her." Shen Manyun understood: "It seems that she doesn't believe anyone now, including me."
Ever since An Rong walked away from the edge of life and death, she was suddenly able to stay calm. Did something happen?
Is it just a matter of simply seeing through life and death?
This kind of logic is not suitable for An Rong at all. There must be other more important reasons, such as——
"What are you thinking about? Are you listening to me?" Shen Manyun found that Mu Ci was distracted in front of her, so she yelled at a louder volume to regain Mu Ci's consciousness.
"I was just thinking about something and got distracted. Where were we talking about?" Mu Ci's eyes were still unfocused, still thinking about An Rong's change of temper.
She thought that it was probably what she had guessed.
She had thought about this possibility before, but she was just not sure.
Later, the feeling An Rong gave her made her feel that this was the truth.
"You have to be careful with Yuzhi. This woman can easily go to extremes. Does she want you to die right now?" Shen Manyun said with a straight face.
She came out from a month's confinement and didn't feel good seeing Yuzhi again. She hadn't learned any other skills in the years since she'd been in the palace, but she still had some ability to read people.
After all, after passing a scheming person like An Rong or someone like Yuzhi, one can see through it at a glance.
Mu Ci nodded: "I know this. She is no longer the jade girl who first entered the palace. Now she is a resentful woman who loves but cannot get. She cannot get what she wants, which has changed her beyond recognition."
"As far as I know, you have been infatuated with the emperor for many years. The emperor used to be dismissive of you. But after you married Dugu Lianyun, the emperor suddenly cared about you. Is it good that you can't get it? "Shen Manyun seemed to be mumbling to himself.
Mu Ci shook his head: "Not really."
Even if she doesn't marry Dugu Lianyun, Dugu Liancheng will still be happy with her in the end, just like he did in his previous life.
"You know that?" Shen Manyun disagreed.
"Of course I know. The emperor and I are destined to be married in this life. In the next life, I will marry the emperor and grow old together." Mu Ci said with gentle eyes.
Shen Manyun stared at Mu Ci as if he were a monster. It took him a while to find his voice, "Is there something wrong with your brain?"
It's ridiculous that people like Mu Ci actually believe in marriage in the past life.
"You don't understand." Mu Ci couldn't explain this kind of thing to Shen Manyun.
From the moment she came back from rebirth, her life has undergone earth-shaking changes from her previous life. It took a lot of effort for her to get to where she is today, so she cherishes everything she has now even more.
If anyone wants to harm her, she will repay him twice as much.
"I don't understand that someone like you can actually be crazy about love. You used to be dismissive of the emperor, but what changed you later?" Shen Mangyun expressed his confusion.
Mu Ci now is very different from Mu Ci many years ago. Although he has the same face and the same bold and fierce temperament, his attitude towards Dugu Liancheng is completely different.
The emperor must have done something to make Mu Ci suddenly fall in love with the emperor?
"When something happened to the emperor, I realized that I was not heartless towards him. My relationship with him has been entangled for two lifetimes..."
"Okay, okay, that's it. It seems that the emperor went on an expedition and took away your heart. Find a place for me to rest. I don't want to talk to you anymore." Shen Manyun ordered Mu Ci.
But Mu Ci told Sizhu: "Go and bring the Lotus Sutra to Concubine Zhen."
Shen Manyun looked ugly: "Are you serious?"
"I have given an order. If you don't do it decently, the entire harem will know that you have a relationship with me. Is this the result you want?" Mu Ci said calmly.
Shen Manyun was speechless for a moment: "Then why is it not you who is punished to copy scriptures, but it is me?"
"Because I am the Queen," Mu Ci said after a pause, "Besides, I am pregnant and should not work hard."
Shen Manyun originally wanted to refute when she saw her acting like a queen, but after hearing Mu Ci's last words, she was only surprised.
Finally, she said nonchalantly: "Why are you pregnant again?"
No, no one in the entire harem seems to know that Mu Ci is pregnant. Does the Emperor also know?
"The Emperor doesn't know that you are pregnant?" Shen Manyun's eyes were fixed on Mu Ci's abdomen.
"By the time he returns from the expedition, the child should have been born. It would be nice to give him a surprise then." Mu Ci touched his belly: "I want a daughter."
"I think it might be another little prince." Shen Manyun replied with certainty.
"I think this is my daughter." Mu Ci frowned.
Shen Manyun still insisted on his opinion: "Don't worry, this is definitely the little prince again."
Mu Ci looked at Shen Manyun and said, "Okay, how about I stop punishing you by reading the scriptures a hundred times?"
Shen Manyun laughed angrily when he heard this: "Is there anyone as petty as you? I'm just expressing my intuition. It's really possible for you to be a little prince again..."
Before she could finish her words, Mu Ci had already walked away, making it clear that he didn't want to hear her "truth".
Shen Manyun looked at Mu Ci's back and couldn't help but murmured to herself: "Isn't it good to have more little princes?"
Why does it have to be a little princess? If other concubines had the chance to give birth to a prince, I don’t know how happy they would be, but Mu Ci is just the opposite, leaving people speechless.
Mu Ci would soon put aside Shen Manyun's words.
She believed that her intuition was right, and she was a little princess this time. Shen Manyun had always been at odds with her and liked to go against her, and this was not the first time.
Shen Manyun stayed in Yong'an Palace until his death, and some palace residents saw Shen Manyun's face looking haggard and walking unsteadily when he left Yong'an Palace.
So another rumor spread the next day, claiming that Mu Cigong avenged himself and deliberately tortured Shen Manyun.
After Mu Ci heard these rumors, he knew that Shen Manyun himself had added to the drama.
Shen Manyun had good food and good accommodation in Yong'an Palace, and there were people waiting on her while she was copying scriptures, as if she were the master of Yong'an Palace.
I originally thought that An Rong couldn't deceive her, and Shen Manyun didn't need to act anymore. Who knew that Shen Manyun was addicted to acting.
"Is Concubine Zhen deliberately ruining your reputation?" Yingchun was a little depressed after hearing this.
Yesterday, she, the famous person next to the Queen, was serving Concubine Zhen. Concubine Zhen actually repaid her kindness with hatred, making everyone think that the empress had treated Concubine Zhen harshly again.
"She is so petty, probably on purpose. But this way, everyone will think that Concubine Zhen and I are old enemies, and other concubines will try to win over Concubine Zhen. By then, Concubine Zhen will still have the opportunity to talk to me in advance. Pass the news." Mu Ci smiled.
"Come on, Concubine Zhen, that person behaves strangely. She is different from one moment to the next. Who knows if she will be her number one enemy again in the next moment?" Yingchun didn't have any expectations.
