"On that day, Concubine An clearly admitted that she was executed. How come she now turns around and accuses me of making a false accusation? There were so many servants serving you at that time, and they all heard what you said. Now you come here to hit the target again.
"What's the point?" Mu Ci raised an eyebrow and asked.
Although she didn't know how Zhixiu died, An Rong admitted that she was responsible for the death, and she didn't want to interfere with the internal affairs of Jingyang Palace, so she closed the case hastily.
It's a pity that a living human life was lost.
She also wanted to know who killed Zhixiu, why his death was so horrific, and what was the intention of the person who killed Zhixiu?
An Rong was rendered speechless by Mu Ci's words.
That was indeed what she said that day. How could she have known that Mu Ci would be even more jealous and convict her...
"If you have a clear conscience, no matter what everyone says about you, you don't need to take it to heart. If you have a ghost in your heart, you will still be suspicious even if no one says anything. Concubine An, you have been in the palace for so many years, and you have done something like this before.
You should still remember what happened, and there is no need for me to remind you again and again." Mu Ci's eyebrows turned serious: "Step back!"
Although she didn't mention him by name, An Rong knew that the person Mu Ci was talking about was Zhitao.
Zhitao, who had been serving her since childhood and was loyal to her, was killed by her without hesitation.
When she walked out of Yong'an Palace, she was still thinking about Zhitao, and she didn't even hear Shen Manyun call her.
"Sister An, there is no need to take the Queen's words to heart. Let the past pass, we value the future." Shen Manyun said to An Rong softly.
An Rong forced out a smiling flower: "I just thought of Zhitao. That girl had been following me for many years. In the end, I killed her to protect myself. I wonder if she especially blamed me when she was dying.
.”
Shen Manyun replied in a low voice: "I must be resentful."
An Rong looked at her after hearing this, "Really?"
"At that time, Zhitao must have resented her sister for treating her like this. But it didn't matter. He was just a slave. If this slave is gone, wouldn't there be a next one? The next slave will definitely be better and more loyal." Shen Manyun said with a smile.
.
An Rong's face sank: "Sister has changed too."
"Naturally, after so many years in the palace, how can I stay the same? But no matter how much I change, I can't change as fast as my sister. The way my sister changed her face in Yong'an Palace just now was quite twisted to be honest." Shen Manyun's words are actually true.
After enduring it for a while: "An Rong is more beautiful when she first entered the palace."
At that time, An Rong was not as twisted as she is now.
The harem is a place that always makes ambitious people become more ambitious, and forces those without ambition to become ambitious.
An Rong's face sank.
Upon seeing this, Shen Manyun said: "My sister's expression right now is really not good-looking. Fortunately, the emperor is not here. If the emperor saw my sister like this, he might turn around and leave."
An Rong's expression changed again and again, and finally returned to normal: "You are always so funny when you talk. But to be honest, you have called me sister for so many years, but you have not been able to surpass me in terms of status. I am.
Gong believes that you should be careful with your words in the future, and you should not disturb your dignity."
Shen Manyun looked sideways when he heard this: "What does my sister mean by this?"
An Rong knew she was pretending to be stupid: "Concubine Zhen, you should still call me Concubine An from now on? If not, it's okay to call me sister as well."
Shen Manyun smiled when he heard this: "Well, I'll call you Concubine An. All Concubine An wants is for everyone to betray her relatives and leave. How can I disappoint Concubine An? However, Concubine An still needs to be careful. The moonlight is not very good tonight, Zhitao may find his way back to Jingyang Palace..."
After she finished speaking, she got on the chariot, raised her hands, and walked away majestically surrounded by everyone.
It would be nice to break up the relationship formally, lest she still feel tired and hypocritical about calling An Rong sister.
An Rong looked very ugly as she watched Shen Manyun walk away.
"Why do you need to worry about such a person? Since he is not your friend, he must be your enemy. If you have a chance in the future, just think of a way to get rid of him." Aunt Peng stepped forward and said to An Rong. .
An Rong looked at Kikyo and asked, "Jikyong, do you think I have betrayed my family now? I want to hear the truth."
She couldn't find a single friend in the harem, and the only one she had was Yuzhi, and they were together only because they had interests involved.
She didn't think there was anything wrong with this before, but now she feels that Shen Manyun may be right. Now she has no friends in the harem, and all the concubines look down on her.
When did she end up in such a situation? She thought that the entire harem and concubines should be Mu Ci's enemies, but why did everyone look at her strangely today, as if she was really a heinous person.
"Just listen to what Concubine Zhen has to say. Concubine Zhen did not enter the palace to make friends, but to get the best and become the most noble person in the harem. Concubine Zhen only needs to move forward towards this goal without any distractions." Platycodon discussed the matter.
"You still speak to my heart. Yes, I want to be the queen and the owner of the phoenix chair. Concubine Zhen is no longer my friend, so what if I abandon her?" An Rong said, sitting on the chariot: " If Concubine Zhen gives me trouble again in the future, I will definitely kill her with my own hands!"
Kikyo lowered her head, her eyes flashing slightly.
This is Concubine An. She is cruel and ruthless. No matter how loyal a servant is to Concubine An, she will eventually be cannibalized by Concubine An. Zhitao is a lesson learned from the past.
She was once so close to Concubine An, how could she not know Concubine An's temperament?
The falling out between An Rong and Shen Manyun was seen by someone nearby, and the news soon spread throughout the harem.
At first, some people were skeptical and thought the rumors were not credible.
When they came to Yong'an Palace to pay their respects on the second day, Shen Manyun and An Rong no longer called each other sister, and everyone knew that the rumor was true.
Qi Luo is the happiest person to see them falling out. She doesn't mind adding insult to injury and adding fuel to the fire: "Aren't Concubine Zhen and Concubine Gui getting along well? What's going on today? It's not Concubine Zhen who treats Concubine Zhen as a pawn. This matter was finally discovered by Concubine Zhen, right?"
An Rong glanced over with a sharp eye, Qi Luo patted his chest and said: "Concubine, don't look at me like this. After all, I am telling the truth. Concubine Zhen has been used by you for so many years. Although it is a little late to know the truth now, she has lost her way." It’s not too late to return.”
"Concubine Ming has been trying to sow discord over the years, but have you ever succeeded? In the entire harem, you are the only one who is the most useless. Everyone here has more say than you." An Rong finished. Look away, it's annoying to look at Qi Luo more than once.
