Concubine Mu did not believe Mu Zhiping’s words. As the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, how could Mu Zhiping not know the emperor’s whereabouts?
But this time, she did wrongly accuse Mu Zhiping. The emperor did not tell anyone about his whereabouts during his trip. Except for those who are familiar with the matter such as Eunuch Li, King Ning, and Hui, others really don’t know.
Mu Zhiping also knew that his words were not trustworthy, but the fact was that, he couldn’t argue, so he had to say, “Whether you believe it or not, I only knew about it today. The emperor was very cautious in his trip this time, and even the eunuch in his palace didn’t know it. I had doubted it, but there was no evidence. If there was evidence, I would definitely tell you the first time.”
Although he no longer had the same pampering heart as at the beginning, Mu Guipin was always his sister, and he could not lie to her on such a thing.
Concubine Mu could not tell whether what he said was the truth, but he knew that it would be useless to be confused about these things now, so he had to change the topic and said, “Forget it, there is no need to talk about this matter anymore. Now everyone knows that the emperor brought Anpin out of the palace, and we are discussing it, which is also wasted.”
Mu Zhiping felt that he was very busy and didn’t have time to say too much nonsense, and said lightly: “Then you call me here this time, so why? I told you from the beginning that you asked you to fight and grab, you are always unwilling to do it. Now you know, the emperor will spoil Gu Chang’an, and your life will be difficult in the future.”
No matter when, Mu Zhiping would not miss the opportunity to give Concubine Mu, because he understood that Concubine Mu was a smart woman, and as long as she wanted to fight for anything, she would definitely get it.
In the past, Concubine Mu was disdainful of fighting, but now…
“Brother, don’t worry, I am no longer the Concubine Mu of the past. You are right. Even if I don’t think about myself, I have to consider Yunqi. He is growing up slowly, and I have to consider some things for him.”
Seeing Gu Changan becoming more favored day by day, she was also very anxious, and she was worried that Gu Changan would threaten her status. Her status is negligible, but her son’s status must not be threatened.
Gu Changan is so favored now. If she gives birth to a son, she is afraid that the heir to the throne will be him, so she must compete for favor, not for her, but for her son, and she can sit in that position in the future with justification.
Seeing that she finally got enlightened, Mu Zhiping was relieved and said, “You finally got enlightened. If you had got enlightened earlier, I’m afraid that Gu Chang’an would not be favored now, but you.”
Mu Guipin did not deny or agree with his statement, but chose to remain silent.
Concubine Mu said, “Brother,Now Gu Chang’an is not in the palace, and the emperor is not in the palace. I just want to do nothing. I just take action against the people around her, and it is not possible. Wherever there is the Empress Dowager, I can’t do anything. “
After murmured lowered his head and thought for a while, he had an idea in his mind and said, “Sister, let’s do this. Now we won’t take action first. Let’s talk about it when Gu Chang’an comes back. Although Gu Chang’an is protected by the Empress Dowager, he dare not attack her with great fanfare. He always has to worry about the Empress Dowager’s face. But the Empress Dowager is old and cannot protect her for how long. At that time, wasn’t we just doing whatever we wanted? “
The Empress Dowager is the oldest old man in the palace. Although no one talks about it, her age is there and it will be a matter of time before she dies, so it is not enough to worry about it.
The Empress Dowager also considered this point, so she cultivated Gu Chang’an’s autonomy while she was still there.
