Watching Concubine He Xian go away, Si Zhu couldn't help but sigh: "It's hard to imagine that Concubine Xian is the one who is the most hidden in this harem. The entire harem has been deceived by Concubine Xian, right?"
Mu Ci stood up and said: "The most unlikely person is the real murderer. Nian'er is so cute. She has raised Nian'er for so many years, how could she do anything to the child?"
If she hadn't noticed something was wrong with Concubine He Xian, she would never have believed that the person who poisoned Nian'er was Concubine He Xian.
Is dealing with her more important than Nian'er's life?
"We don't see virtuous concubines vying for favor on weekdays. I really can't figure out why virtuous concubines bother to deal with the empress." Sizhu said she couldn't figure it out.
Mu Ci also had the same confusion: "Since she keeps taking action, she will definitely do it again. I also want to know what she will do next."
She still hasn't figured out Concubine He Xian's true purpose.
"The Queen should have taken precautions early. The first time, the Xian Concubine, she attacked the eldest prince, the second time she attacked the Prince, and I'm afraid that the third time she would attack the Queen. After all, the Queen must not be careless in this matter, and cannot let Xian
The concubine will succeed." Yingchun warned without worry.
"Yong'an Palace is heavily guarded, and they are all from this palace. How easy is it for her to take action?" Mu Ci replied quietly.
If Concubine He Xian could reach into Yong'an Palace, that would be truly terrifying.
"My slave is still worried." Sizhu couldn't hide her worry.
They have all experienced Concubine He Xian's methods. Who knows what other methods Concubine He Xian has not used yet?
Mu Ci was thinking about something: "Do you think it was Concubine Xian's fault that An Rong lost her baby?"
Yingchun's eyes lit up: "Most likely."
Concubine He Xian must have the ability to eliminate An Rong's child without even knowing it. For a while, An Rong has been looking for the murderer of her child. If it was known that it was Concubine He Xian who was responsible, who knows?
Will the person match up?
She expressed her thoughts, "Why don't you think of a way to let Concubine An know that Concubine He Xian is the murderer of her child, so that the concubine can reap the benefits."
"Why do I want to help Concubine An? If Concubine An never discovers that Concubine Xian is the murderer, then she is stupid. I have to resolve the grudges between Concubine Xian and Concubine An by myself, and I won't do anything to others." Mu Ci did not agree.
I agree with Sizhu’s approach.
Si Zhu was speechless for a moment.
The empress has always had such a temper. It is really not appropriate to let others do this matter. After all, it is the eldest prince and his highness who are hurt. These two children are very important people to the empress.
After she figured this out, she stopped trying to persuade her.
As for An Rong, after leaving Yong'an Palace, she also had an idea and decided to try her luck in Yanfu Palace.
Since the emperor is willing to move around the harem, and she dined at Yong'an Palace yesterday, why doesn't she take the initiative and show her face in front of the emperor?
If the emperor sees her more often, he may be able to fall in love with her for a long time.
When she arrived at Yanfu Palace, there was no guard blocking her way this time. She was immediately happy and quickly entered Yanfu Palace.
Because it was so smooth, she couldn't help but wonder, maybe the emperor would suddenly realize that she was good.
"Your Majesty, Concubine An wishes to see you." Li Yu went to the study to report to Dugu Liancheng.
Dugu Liancheng was about to refuse, but when he thought of An Rong relying on An Guogong, he suppressed the discomfort in his heart: "Just say that I am busy and let her wait outside."
Li Yu followed her words and went to An Rong to report back.
An Rong only said that Dugu Liancheng wanted to see her, but because he was busy, he couldn't spare the time, so he waited outside peacefully.
Unexpectedly, until now, I still could not see the holy face.
No matter how much she could bear it, she couldn't wait any longer.
"Please send the message to me again. I want to see the emperor." An Rong found Li Yu and said.
"Hold on."
Li Yu was very happy and went to Dugu Liancheng to report the matter.
Dugu Liancheng replied quietly: "No, let her go."
Li Yu accepted the order and replied to An Rong.
An Rong's face changed slightly: "The emperor said he can't see me?"
How is that possible? He had clearly asked her to wait before, so how could he not see her now?
"Are you, a slave, pretending to pass on the imperial edict? I want to see the emperor..." An Rong said, suddenly rushing towards the study.
Li Yu didn't stop him either.
He was just a messenger. If Concubine An tried to force her way in, there was nothing he could do.
Dugu Liancheng did not expect that An Rong would suddenly break into the study. His face was as frosty as he said in a deep voice: "Ms. An, who gave you the courage to break into the study?!"
"I just want to see the emperor. I have no ill intentions. Please forgive me." Under Dugu Liancheng's gaze, An Rong felt frightened.
Dugu Liancheng has a bad temper right now. As soon as he saw an eyesore in front of him, he shouted angrily: "Come here, drag An down and give him a hundred punishments..."
An Rong changed her face, and so did Li Yu.
"Your Majesty, if you give me a hundred punishments with your staff, your life will be lost." Li Yu said hurriedly.
Just a few days ago, Concubine An was beaten twenty times with a cane. If she was punished again today, she would be injured again.
Concubine An was too ignorant to advance or retreat. She had just been beaten with a cane before, and now she came to her door to be punished by the emperor. If he hadn't taken An Guogong into consideration, why would he have stopped the emperor? He could have just beat Concubine An to death, which would save trouble.
"The rod was punished twenty times. I was disgusted by the sight of dragging people down." Dugu Liancheng made no secret of his displeasure with An Rong.
Comparison only hurts. At this moment, he suddenly felt that Mu Ci's face was much more pleasing to the eye. It was countless times prettier than An Rong's face. At least it wouldn't make him nauseous.
Before An Rong was dragged down, she heard the truth from Dugu Liancheng.
Her eyes widened, as if this was the only way to avoid crying tears of humiliation.
Why was Dugu Liancheng so cruel to her even though he was poisoned by that poison? What went wrong?
Because she was injured just a few days ago, the twenty-stick punishment this time was equivalent to opening An Rong's wound again. This kind of pain is beyond the endurance of ordinary people.
By the time the execution was completed, An Rong had completely lost consciousness.
Tears welled up in Nanny Peng's eyes when she saw An Rong's body was torn.
"Your Majesty, please don't please the Emperor anymore. Your Majesty is not worthy of Your Majesty's love." Aunt Peng's brows grew colder.
How come such a good girl from the An family was sent to the palace and trampled on by Jinshang like this? Originally, a talented girl like An Rong should live a brilliant and flamboyant life.
How could the emperor treat the girl of Duke Bo'an like this?
An Rong's face was ashen, she pursed her lips tightly and her eyes were empty. She still can't believe that Dugu Liancheng was so cruel to her.
Was she wrong? The mistake was that she had been devoted to that person for two lifetimes, and in both lifetimes, she had been so despised by Dugu Liancheng. Even though she had drugged Dugu Liancheng, he was still so cruel to her?
