After leaving the Imperial Study Room, Mu Ge glanced back at the slowly closing door behind her, lightly flicked nonexistent dust from her clothes, and followed the young eunuch assigned to lead her to the Empress Dowager’s residence.
She had just entered the palace and was waiting in the Imperial Study Room.
Unexpectedly, before she even t the Emperor, she was summoned by the eunuch carrying the Empress Dowager’s decree.
It was said that after the Emperor talked to her, he would like her to go and greet the Empress Dowager.
As a result, the Emperor, who did not appear, sohow learned of the news and sent her away like a beggar asking for alms. He gave the grand excuse that since the Empress Dowager wanted to see her, he dared not keep her waiting long, so he let her go first. Another day, he would summon her back to the palace.
Emperor, you little brat, is it alright for you to be so capricious?
Mu Ge’s eyes turned slightly cold. As she observed the situation in the Imperial Palace on the way, she speculated about the Emperor’s intentions behind this move.
Did he want to show others that the Mu Family still enjoys his favor, but was too lazy to waste words with soone like her, so he simply sent her away?
Or perhaps, summoning her to the palace today was a blatant intention to humiliate her?
Tsk tsk~!
The Emperor’s mind is like a needle at the bottom of the sea.
Mu Ge shook her head with a cold smirk, completely unimpressed by the Emperor of Qin.
Of course, given the precarious situation of the Mu Family now, it’s impossible for her to have a good impression of the main culprit anyway.
Mu Ge clearly rembered the words her aunt, Mu Lianrong, said to her the night she returned to the Mu Mansion. Those ’accidents,’ one after another, claiming the lives of the young generation of the Mu Family.
Her aunt did not believe these were accidents, and with her experience from past and present lives, neither did she.
So, who is the villain behind the scenes?
It seems that as long as the person who most does not want the Mu Family to continue growing stronger is found, the suspect can be locked down.
Who is that person?
At this point, Mu Ge had already moved far from the Imperial Study Room, glancing back only to see the vague eaves of its rooftops. A dim light flickered in her clear eyes, and she composed her expression, following the eunuch from Cixiang Palace further and further away.
Whether Mu Qingge had ever visited the Empress Dowager’s residence in Cixiang Palace before, Mu Ge did not know. Anyway, for her, it was the first ti entering the most esteed woman’s bedroom in Qin Country.
Her gaze subtly scanned the room, finally settling on the kind old lady sitting loftily above.
Bowing her head, Mu Ge calmly saluted with a military salute, "Mu Qingge pays respects to the Empress Dowager. May the Empress Dowager live for thousands upon thousands of years."
The Empress Dowager nodded with a smile.
However, just before she spoke, the sharp voice of Concubine Jiang sounded, "How dare you! Why do you perform a military salute to the Empress Dowager instead of kneeling?"
Mu Ge glanced at her indifferently, raising an eyebrow slightly. She thought to herself: Indeed, the palace is full of beauties, and who is this beautiful sister? And—
Her peripheral vision caught a girl beside the beautiful woman who bore so resemblance to her.
What a cold little girl, with a frosty face like everyone owed her money.
Twitching the corner of her mouth, Mu Ge discreetly withdrew her gaze, standing tall, and addressed the Empress Dowager, "Since my grandfather’s ti, the Mu Mansion has served the military for generations. Though lacking in talent, Qingge aspires for the clanging of swords and the throbbing of war drums. Therefore, in my view, saluting the Empress Dowager with a military salute is the greatest respect." What she wouldn’t say was that she didn’t want to kneel to a stranger old woman and did so on purpose.
"You! You are simply being unreasonable." Concubine Jiang’s anger shook the bead tassels on her head.
This brat, as arrogant as ever. How could her daughter be married off to soone like him? It’s all because of the Empress Dowager, forcibly matchmaking, prompting the Emperor to issue an edict for marriage.
