"She didn't look at you squarely today, which is a sign she has never seen before. I remember that she used to call you sister, and she had a good relationship with you." Speaking of this, Mu Ci was thoughtful.
Could it be that Yuzhi discovered that Shen Manyun had a secret relationship with her, so she alienated Shen Manyun?
According to Yuzhi's thinking, how could he easily discover this small detail? So something must have gone wrong somewhere.
"When you say that, it seems a little weird. If she knew that I had a relationship with you, how did she find out through it? If An Rong knew that you had a relationship with me, it would be excusable..."
Shen Manyun's voice faded away, and Mu Ci's meaningful eyes made her secretly frightened.
"An Rong and Yuzhi are hooking up?" Shen Manyun exclaimed.
"We don't rule out this possibility. Do you think Anrong will stay in the Buddhist hall honestly due to her temperament? If she can get in touch with the harem, who do you think the first person she can take advantage of will be?" Mu Ci tapped the table, his eyes clear.
Shen Manyun and she can join forces, so why can't An Rong join forces with Yuzhi?
"Of course it's Yuzhi. Yuzhi has skills and is impulsive. The most important thing is that she hates you very much. If I were An Rong, I would join forces with Yuzhi immediately and let Yuzhi take action against you. This way She is in the Buddhist hall, but everything that happens in the harem has nothing to do with her, and Yuzhi will still work wholeheartedly for her." The more Shen Manyun talked, the more reasonable Mu Ci's reasoning became.
To put it another way, no matter how much she acted like Mu Ci, An Rong no longer believed in her.
So Yuzhi also stayed away from her, because Yuzhi believed An Rong's words.
"It's in vain that we spent a lot of time playing a trick. An Rong no longer trusts you. There is no need for us to continue to pretend to be at odds in the future. We can't deceive An Rong..."
Shen Manyun sneered when he heard this: "Do you think An Rong and Yuzhi are the only ones in the harem who don't like you? You forgot that the person who poisoned the eldest prince behind his back has not been found, and the fate of An Rong's pregnancy is also unknown. Bu Bai, that person is undoubtedly your enemy. You can't hide it from An Rong, but at least you can hide it from the person behind the scenes, right?"
"You are still thoughtful. At the very least, that person is not An Rong's friend. An Rong will definitely not pass on the news that you and I are friends." Mu Ci smiled as he spoke: "Compared to those years ago. , you are thinking about the problem a lot more profoundly now."
"I have been in the palace for many years, can I still be as stupid as when I first entered the palace?" Shen Manyun said angrily.
Seeing that she had been wasted a lot of time here, she got up and left.
An hour later, Mu Ci realized that Shen Manyun had covered his face and ran out of Yong'an Palace.
So the rumors outside became like this: Shen Manyun was wronged again in Yong'an Palace, was slapped twice by the queen, and ran out of Yong'an Palace crying.
"Concubine Zhen really loves acting." Yingchun heard this and couldn't laugh or cry.
The one who suffered the most was their queen, who was described as a poisonous woman for no reason.
"I never thought that Concubine Zhen and I would join forces one day." Mu Ci smiled lightly.
Especially now that she is surrounded by enemies from all sides, it is especially precious for Shen Manyun to be on her side at this time.
"I still feel that today is different from the past. The empress is the mother of a country and cannot easily ruin her reputation." Sizhu also had the same concerns.
Although it is for the sake of the overall situation, the queen's reputation is also very important.
"Don't worry, my reputation will not be ruined so easily. There are all kinds of rumors about me. How can a petty fight like Concubine Zhen affect my reputation?"
Rumors about her causing harm to the Xia Kingdom have spread to the public, and since this is just a punishment for a concubine, such rumors are really not a problem.
Sizhu and Yingchun looked at each other and felt that what the empress said made sense and they didn't need to worry too much.
It's night, in the Buddhist temple.
Aunt Peng hurriedly entered and told An Rong the news she had received.
Aunt Peng is an old lady in Anguo Palace. This time An Rong was placed under house arrest in the Buddhist hall, and her personal attendants could not be brought in to serve her. So An Rong took advantage of her plan and simply transferred Aunt Peng into the palace.
The events of those days were still vivid in her mind, and she had to be alert to the fact that there was Mu Ci's insider around her.
Because she didn't know who could be trusted, she had always wanted to transfer someone from Duke Anguo to the palace, but she had no chance. This time the emperor asked her to go to the Buddhist hall to copy and chant sutras, which actually made it possible for her.
"Concubine Zhen has not made much progress over the years, and her acting skills are poor. Do she and Mu Ci think that I am too stupid to know that they have joined forces?" A sarcastic smile appeared on An Rong's lips.
"They continue to play the trick, which means they still want to make the empress believe in Concubine Zhen. This will also be beneficial to the empress in the future." Aunt Peng stepped forward to help An Rong up: "Just chant sutras and show off, there are no outsiders here.
, why do you have to work so hard?”
"I am praying for Daxia, and I am also praying for the emperor. I just hope that the emperor can return safely, and I will be satisfied." After An Rong finished speaking, she continued to copy scriptures aside.
Seeing this, Aunt Peng couldn't help but sigh: "Why are you doing this to your Majesty? No matter how loyal your Majesty is to the Emperor, the Emperor can't see the goodness in Your Majesty, and instead puts Your Majesty under house arrest in the Buddhist hall. After all these years, Your Majesty hasn't seen through it yet.
?”
The empress's feelings for the emperor began in the palace. At that time, she did not know why the empress had not met the emperor, but she insisted on entering the palace, and claimed that she would become the emperor's favorite woman.
Later, when she actually entered the palace, things were different from what the empress had imagined, because there was already a Mu Ci in the palace.
With Mu Ci in the harem, even though Mu Ci was the Queen Mother at the time, she still fascinated the emperor, and the other women in the harem became foils.
Even if you are as outstanding as your empress, you will inevitably be left out.
Over the years since the empress entered the palace, although she has climbed to the position of imperial concubine, she is still far away from the queen position. As long as Mu Ci is in the harem, the empress will have no chance to get involved in the queen position.
So next, the empress must find a way to get rid of Mu Ci.
"No matter how the emperor treats me, I am happy with him. The emperor is my husband. No matter how much he dislikes me, I will treat him as the most important person in my life." An Rong replied softly.
One day Mu Ci is no longer in the harem, will the emperor see her?
"If I hadn't been too affectionate, I wouldn't be as miserable as I am today." Aunt Peng said heartbrokenly.
She grew up watching the imperial concubine.
An Guogong's eldest daughter is extremely talented and capable of playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. How can Mu Ci, a woman with nothing but appearance, compare to her?
When she was born into the palace, the emperor not only disliked the imperial concubine, but also disliked her. The imperial concubine's life in the harem was so torturous.
All of this was caused by Mu Ci.
Now that she has entered the palace, she will definitely assist the empress and pull Mu Ci from the back position.
