Aunt Peng retreated behind An Rong: "Yes, empress."
After reprimanding Aunt Peng, An Rong said with a good-tempered smile: "If the abolition of the queen could be solved in a few words, you wouldn't come to me. I know this matter well, and it's useless for you to worry. The heart of King Ling'an
For you, this is your best chance of winning. If you want to win over Mu Yu and become the princess, you have to find the right time. Why rush?"
"You know everything about what happened in Prince Ling'an's Mansion." Rong'er sneered.
"Mu Yu is the stake that Mu Ci put into Prince Ling'an's Mansion. I know this. Naturally, Prince Ling'an's Mansion has something that attracts Mu Ci, so Mu Ci would bother. In this case, how could I not care about Ling'an?
What's going on in the palace?" An Rong replied slowly.
Otherwise, she would not have contact with Rong'er, let alone use Rong'er to deal with Mu Yu.
If Mu Yu is pulled down from the position of princess by Rong Er, Mu Ci will definitely be very "grateful" to her knowing that she also played a role in it.
"You clearly hate the Queen, but you still can't bring her down. Is the Queen really that powerful?" Rong'er asked with raised eyebrows.
She had also heard of Mu Ci's behavior, and it was said that he was ruthless in his methods. There were many concubines in the harem who wanted to win Mu Ci to the throne, but none of them could do it.
Even An Rong, who is so capable, has repeatedly suffered losses at the hands of Mu Ci.
"If she hadn't been powerful, she wouldn't have changed from a queen mother to a queen; if she hadn't been powerful, the entire harem wouldn't have been filled with chaos." An Rong didn't want to talk to Rong Er anymore and got up while talking.
: "I can't leave the palace for too long, so I need to take the first step."
"Concubine, can you give me an accurate time? How long do I have to wait?" Rong'er blocked An Rong's path.
A flash of hatred flashed in An Rong's eyes, and she looked at Rong'er through the curtain: "I don't know either."
After saying that, she got into the carriage.
Rong'er looked at the carriage gradually disappearing on the official road, his face darkened.
An Rong repeatedly evaded her questions, which showed that An Rong was not sure herself. I think so, she received news from the palace that An Rong had recently been beaten with a stick by Jin Shang, and had been humiliated by Mu Ci several times.
In addition, Mu Ci regained the favor, how easy will it be for An Rong to push Mu Ci down to the lower position?
An Rong's position in the harem was very awkward. Although she was a noble concubine, she was not favored by the emperor and was inferior to the queen. An Rong was even disliked by the emperor.
How can such a person push Mu Ci down to the lower position?
Before meeting An Rong, she still had a glimmer of hope. Now she knew that she was counting on An Rong. She would never try to pull Mu Yu from the position of princess in her life.
No matter what, she could not let her child become a bastard. It would be best if she replaced Mu Yu and became the princess before she gave birth to the child, so that her child would be the eldest son and have the opportunity to inherit the title in the future.
Since An Rong was unreliable and couldn't get rid of Mu Ci, she might as well get rid of Mu Yu herself.
Over there, Dong'er returned to the palace to return his orders to Mu Yu.
After hearing this, Mu Yu's expression remained unchanged: "I couldn't catch her pain this time. There will be opportunities in the future, so there is no need to be depressed."
Rong'er hurried out of the palace today, and she must have met someone. Qiu'er, who she sent to keep an eye on Ling'an Pavilion, came back and reported to her, saying that Rong'er had returned to the palace, but her face was not good-looking, as if something had happened.
That night, Dugu Lianqi suddenly ordered her to sleep with him, saying that he would give her a child.
Mu Yu couldn't laugh or cry when she heard this. She wanted to say that she didn't want a child, but Dugu Lianqi was the master of the palace after all, and she couldn't shame him, so she had to swallow the truth back in her belly.
For several days in a row, Mu Yu was always at bedside.
In the morning, Dugu Lianqi couldn't even get up and didn't even go to the morning court.
This incident spread like wildfire in the palace, and of course it also reached Rong'er's ears.
Rong'er's face turned gloomy when she heard about this. She knew that Mu Yu wanted to do something bad by living in Ling'an Pavilion, but she was pregnant, so Mu Yu took advantage of the opportunity.
The prince is inseparable from women's temperament. If the other concubines are fine, why is it Mu Yu?
If Mu Yu becomes pregnant with the prince's flesh and blood, her advantage will no longer be an advantage.
But because of this, Rong'er became more determined to get rid of Mu Yu.
Mu Ci is also in control of the affairs of Prince Ling'an's palace.
She received the news that Mu Yu had entered the palace and knew that Rong'er had gone out to the palace a few days ago and might have met someone important.
Because she knew who Rong'er was meeting, she couldn't guess Rong'er's intentions.
Just at this moment, Yingchun suddenly found out some interesting news.
Just a few days ago, An Rong left the palace.
"Where did you get the news?" Mu Ci asked Yingchun to explain it carefully.
"My slave met a good sister in the harem. The person she liked was the guard guarding the palace gate. It is said that she left the palace secretly. She did not leave the palace for a long time and returned to the palace within an hour. Although she did not see Concubine An at that time
Face, but it was indeed the slaves of Jingyang Palace who handed over the waist badge. It is said that they also gave benefits, and the news of Concubine An's leaving the palace was not allowed to be spread everywhere. I also learned about this news by chance." Yingchun said to Mu Ci.
: "This servant is afraid that Concubine An wants to unite with people outside the palace to harm the empress. After receiving this news, she immediately came to vent her anger."
Mu Ci smiled: "I didn't expect you to be very popular. Have you ever found out when An Rong left the palace?"
"I heard about it, it was almost noon." Yingchun said again.
Mu Ci counted the days and suddenly felt that this date and time seemed familiar.
It was Sizhu who was the first to react, "Your Majesty, the letter sent to the palace from Princess Ling'an mentioned the time when Concubine Rong left the palace, wasn't it also around noon on that day?"
As she spoke, she handed the letter to Mu Ci.
Mu Ci looked carefully and found that Mu Yu did mention the time.
The time when Rong Er left the palace and the time when An Rong left the palace basically coincided. Is this just a coincidence?
"I remember the news from Platycodon grandiflorum that someone gave Concubine An the Lovesickness Gu. And that person's identity is very special. Could it be that that person is Rong'er?" Mu Ci said thoughtfully.
Yingchun and Sizhu's expressions changed, and they answered in unison: "It's very possible!"
The worst thing is that the late emperor is Rong'er's master. Could it be that Dugu Lianyun was planning this matter behind his back?
"Is it the one from Mei Pavilion who wants to harm the emperor?" Sizhu asked in a deliberately lowered voice.
This matter could be big or small. If Dugu Lianyun was instigating Rong'er behind his back, and Rong'er colluded with An Guifei, a concubine in the harem, then the problem would be very serious.
"We are not sure yet whether it is Rong'er who is having contact with An Rong. This matter is just our speculation and should not be made public." Mu Ci said, staring at Yingchun specifically.
Yingchun immediately understood what Mu Ci meant, and quickly expressed her position: "Don't worry, Madam, I shouldn't have said anything. I will definitely not say a word."
