Chapter 892: Go to Yong'an Palace to provoke and intensify conflicts
"They said I was fine, but they said that the empress was in decline and would never be able to turn around again. I was so angry that of course I wanted to argue with them. Of course, I also knew my identity, so I didn't go straight to tear their gloating faces into pieces!"
Yingchun hums softly.
But this does not mean that she will allow someone to speak ill of her in front of her.
"There's nothing to worry about. Since what people outside say is not pleasant to listen to, then go out less often." Mu Ci didn't take it to heart.
She knew this time was unlike any other.
There must be something wrong with Dugu Liancheng, but if he doesn't tell her, there's nothing she can do about it. The most important thing is that without him seeing her, she can't find out what's wrong with Dugu Liancheng.
The evil things An Rong and Yuzhi did together made her not optimistic.
I wonder if Dugu Liancheng knew that he had been tricked.
Last time she asked Qi Yu to see Dugu Liancheng, but Dugu Liancheng didn't let Qi Yu enter Yanfu Palace. Does this mean that Dugu Liancheng knew that there was something wrong with his body?
If you know you have a physical problem but are still unwilling to see a doctor, why is that?
"Your Majesty, Guo Cairen would like to see you." Just when Mu Ci was distracted, Feng Jiu came in and said.
"What is she doing here?" Mu Ci was a little surprised.
Guo Cairen had never had any friendship with her, and she could see that Guo Cairen was ambitious. Not only Guo Cairen, but Zheng Jieyu was also a very thoughtful person. The two of them were in the same boat.
Today, Guo Cairen suddenly came to see her, which was the first time in history.
"I must have thought of some way to harm the empress." Yingchun felt that this possibility was very high.
Mu Ci raised his eyebrows lightly: "Let her in!"
If you have thought of a way to harm her, it is better to know it at first sight than to make random guesses.
Not long after, Guo Cairen came in. After the ceremony, Guo Cairen said: "I discovered something. After thinking about it, I still feel that I should tell the queen so that she can take precautions in advance."
Mu Ci looked sideways when he heard this: "What's the matter?"
"I discovered that the imperial concubine and Yu Jieyu joined forces at some point. As far as I know, both the imperial concubine and Yu Jieyu have prejudices against the empress. If they join forces, they will definitely not be able to do anything good. The empress needs to guard against them.
Don't be careless if you have bad intentions." Guo Cairen did not mince words and went straight to the point.
She doesn't want to do nothing, but if she can light a fire between Mu Ci and An Rong and intensify their conflicts, she doesn't mind being the "good person"!
"Really? How did Guo Cairen find out about this?" Mu Ci asked quietly.
Guo Cairen said, half truthfully and half falsely: "On that day, Yu Jieyu was tortured with a cane. I saw that she was in pain, so I thought that I happened to have trauma medicine here, so I sent it to Yu Jieyu, which was also a repayment to Yu Jieyu.
Unexpectedly, I saw a newly promoted palace maid named Yun'er in Ziyuxuan... After probing, I found out that Yun'er was sent by Concubine An, so I thought of Concubine An and Yu Jieyu.
It’s about joining forces.”
"Guo Cairen is quite attentive," Mu Ci said with a half-smile.
Didn't Guo Cairen always dislike her? He suddenly revealed this to her, and it was clear that he had other motives.
So what exactly is Guo Cairen planning?
Just when Mu Ci was distracted, Guo Cairen replied: "I also discovered this matter accidentally. The more I thought about it, the more I felt it was wrong, so I came boldly to talk to the empress."
After saying this, she stood up and said, "Maybe I think I am too busy, but I still did what I thought I should do."
After she finished speaking, she respectfully left.
It doesn't matter what Mu Ci thinks of her. What matters is that her plan to sow discord will definitely work.
What kind of person is Mu Ci? How could she not know this after how many years she has been in the palace?
She was sure that Mu Ci was not a good person, and knew that An Rong and Yuzhi might join forces to take a preemptive strike, so she made this trip.
After all, her provocation strategy will definitely work.
Of course, despite all her calculations, she never calculated that Mu Ci had already known about An Rong and Yuzhi's alliance. Of course, she was acting like a villain in vain.
After the master and servant Mu Ci watched Guo Cairen leave, Yingchun broke the silence: "This Guo Cairen is really not a good person. He clearly wants to provoke a conflict between the empress and An Guifei. If the empress and An Guifei fight, what will happen if there is a fight between the empress and An Guifei?"
Both sides suffer, and she can reap the benefits. She doesn't even think about how many beauties there are in this harem, and no matter what, it won't be her turn to win the dragon pet."
"Guo Cairen is indeed a scheming person. Your Majesty, you should be more careful." Sizhu agreed with Yingchun's point of view.
Mu Ci smiled calmly: "There are many people in the harem who are ambitious and scheming, but there are very few who are as aggressive as Guo Cairen. We need to be more careful in the future."
As for An Rong and Yuzhi joining forces, she already knew that the information revealed by Guo Cairen was of no value to her.
Both Guo Cairen and Zheng Jieyu have been quite provocative recently and will cause some troubles from time to time. If there is a chance in the future, these two people will have to find a way to get rid of them.
She wouldn't be stupid enough to do such a thing as raising a tiger for disaster.
Of course Guo Cairen didn't know that her original intention was to intensify the conflict, but unexpectedly she made Mu Ci remember him.
She went to Qinxiang Pavilion and told Zheng Jieyu that she had gone to Yong'an Palace to stir up trouble.
After Zheng Jieyu heard this, she was full of praise for her: "Sister Guo's trick is really brilliant, I admire it. It will probably be effective tomorrow morning, let's just sit back and watch the show."
Guo Cairen was also quite proud: "Yes, although the queen pretends to be very similar, I know that the queen must be very surprised. If I hadn't reminded the queen, she still didn't know what was going on. Maybe the queen would be grateful from now on.
Me, treat me as one of your own."
Zheng Jieyu felt that this possibility was indeed possible, but it was not easy to become Mu Ci's own.
At this moment, they were all looking forward to going to Yong'an Palace to pay their respects the next day.
Early the next morning, all the concubines rushed to Yong'an Palace to pay their respects. Zheng Jieyu and Guo Cairen were the first to go because they wanted to watch a play.
An Rong and Yuzhi appeared in Yong'an Palace at the end. They were tortured with the cane. Although their lives were not in danger, they still suffered a lot of physical and flesh pain.
Of course, Mu Ci also saw the positivity of Zheng Jieyu and Guo Cairen, and felt it was funny.
These two people also acted a little too obviously, were they afraid that she wouldn't know their eagerness to watch a good show?
After An Rong took her seat, Mu Ci asked softly: "Is Concubine An's injury getting better?"
"Empress Cheng is concerned, I am much better." An Rong replied slowly.
No matter from their words or expressions, they could not tell the tension that day.
Guo Cairen saw this in his eyes and was secretly amazed. He thought that this was a master's move, without even the slightest trace showing. Next, it would be up to Mu Ci to see if he could hold his own and make things difficult for An Rong and Yuzhi.
