Chapter 070 – Mu Zi Yan Becomes a Popular Person (2 / 2)

Hou Yi Yi looked at Mu Zi Yan, “Sister Mu, why are you here”

Mu Zi Yan laughed, “I purposely came to visit my grandmother, and I caught a coincidence.”

“Oh.” Hou Yi Yi didn’t think otherwise, it was really that after that tossing and turning yesterday, now although she was unhindered, she was inevitably a bit powerless.

Mrs. Hou also did not stay long, so she ordered someone to help Hou Yi Yi, mother and daughter left the State Duke’s Mansion.

Zhong marquis wife see Zhong Yu also look much better, thinking about just promised things, since I know that the State Council will certainly give the Zhong family an explanation, they do not do more entanglement, with Zhong Yu also left the State Council.

Now Mrs. Guo Gong finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned her eyes to Mu Zi Yan, happily holding her hand, “This day thanks to Smoke Girl.”

Mu Zi Yan, however, did not drop her guard, she was waiting for the second wave of big events, and as expected, a maid suddenly rushed out of the backyard and hurriedly marched to the State Duke’s wife, “Madam the old madam has been assassinated.”

“What” State Duke Mrs. just put down the heart, this time once again raised in the throat, this day is what day, how to happen one after another strange things.

“It’s good that the World Son and Leng Punggol were at the side, that assassin injured Leng Punggol and then fled.” The maid took a big breath while saying.

Duchess of State was shocked, looked to the girl strange anger, “you this girl, how can you say half of what you say.”

That girl’s small face was red, perhaps she ran in a hurry, and now she was so scared that she knelt on the ground, “Madam, it’s the slave girl’s fault.”

“Well, well, this is a happy day, how could this kind of strange things to, the old lady can be unhindered,” Mrs. Duke heart upset, along with the tone of voice is also heavy some.

“The old madam is unharmed.” The girl returned truthfully.

“What about the Cold Ranker,” asked the Duchess of State as she walked forward.

Mu Zi Yan is quietly following the side, this state house is heavily guarded, how could there be an assassin in broad daylight? If there is no one inside to receive them, how could they escape so quickly?

Leng Hanfeng, what are you up to?

Duchess of State saw Mu Zi Yan’s face was grave, thought she was worried to learn that the old madam was assassinated, so she comforted, “The old madam is the star of longevity, the lucky star is high, since it will be fine.”

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes and smiled lightly at Mrs. Guo Gong, “Auntie, after another incense stick, it will be noon.”

The State Duchess couldn’t help but feel a bit worried, “Yes, this is your big day, and you’ve given birth to these strange things.”

Mu Zi Yan along with the State Duchess went to the State Duke old lady’s courtyard, to be traveling to the house, they saw the old lady is sitting angrily on the soft couch, see Mu Zi Yan came in, the face only slightly eased.

Mu Zi Yan went forward to look at Old Lady Guo Gong and said worriedly, “Grandmother, do you have any discomfort”

“Just small thieves.” The Duke of State’s old lady was following the old Duke of State to fight in the war when she was young, that kind of bloody days have been experienced, and why fear these small thieves?

Mu Zi Yan knows that the State Duke old lady this is angry, the hall of the State Ducal Palace even appeared assassins, and, will hit the idea in her head, really hateful.

“Grandmother, since it’s a little thief, you can’t afford to be angry by that little thief.” Mu Zi Yan personally carried the ginseng soup and handed it to the Duke of State’s old lady, and her small, slender, white and tender hands ironically smoothed the Duke of State’s old lady’s qi.

The old lady of the State Duke’s anger is also subsided a large part, which opened his mouth, “How is that cold boy?”

“Dr. Jin went to see, just sent a letter, the left shoulder was hit by a sword, good in no way, rest half a month will be good.” A side of the State Duke old lady closest to Sister Li whispered back.

“This boy is a resourceful one.” Old Lady Guo Gong whispered, “It’s a pity.”

Mu Zi Yan listened to the last exclamation of the Duke’s old lady, and then asked, “Why did Grandmother have such a sigh?”

“You girl, you have made me happy this day.” Elder Duchess of State was aware of what had happened earlier, and now looked at Mu Zi Yan with more and more joy.

Mu Zi Yan said with a smile, “This is also due to grandmother’s good teaching.”

“Look at the girl’s mouth sweet with the honey like.” Duke of the old lady is finally angry, and then counted the hours, “the palace should come, it seems to be someone think the state house in the way, I’m still in this old bones, I would like to see who dares in front of me wantonly.”

Mu Zi Yan carefully supported the Duke of State’s old lady, the Duke of State’s wife also followed on the side, and a group of people went out of the courtyard together with the Duke of State’s old lady, heading to the front yard.

Not long after, they saw Qi Xuan changed into a light blue straight-breasted robe and walked out, wearing a jade crown, gentle and elegant, turning his eyes to look at Mu Zi Yan, nodding slightly, he stepped out of the hall and walked forward.

Since the inner family can not go to the front yard, but is in the back of the front yard of the flower hall waiting, not long, will hear footsteps from outside, and then vaguely able to hear the sound of reading, and then a burst of loud, Mu Zi Yan do not have to go out, but also be able to imagine the outside is what the scene.

When Qi Xuan entered the room, holding the imperial decree in both hands, Mu Zi Yan also rose with the Duke of State’s old lady, and saw Qi Xuan go forward and lightly lift the hem of his coat, and then kneeled in front of the Duke of State’s old lady.

国公府百年来，出的都是武将，还从未出过一位文臣，如今齐轩入了吏部，正三品吏部侍郎，可谓是可喜可贺，亦是皇恩浩荡。

Mu Zi Yan knows that the emperor’s move, but it is just another layer of the State House, the surface scenery, but it is the State House pushed into the target.

Qi Xuan did not know the emperor’s intention, but he was even more clear, as long as the State Ducal Palace arrived at an untouchable position, then no one will have to move the State Ducal Palace of the idea.

What he thinks is also what Mu Zi Yan thinks, nowadays the State Duke’s Office absolutely can’t sit back and wait for death.

Although there were a lot of troubles early in the morning, fortunately things went quite smoothly, Mu Zi Yan personally sent the Duke’s old lady back, and from a distance, she saw from the Sister and Cui Sister came together.

Seeing that things did not develop according to what the old madam had instructed, Sister Cui froze for a moment, but she did not dare to show any sign of it, and just quietly stood aside, congratulating Sister Cui along with her.

Elder Lady Guo Gong narrowed her eyes and glanced at From Sister, then lifted her steps and entered the house.

Mu Zi Yan turned her eyes to Qi Xuan, who was following behind her, and asked in a low voice, “Cousin, did that Leng Punggol receive the holy decree”

“Perhaps it will have to wait until tomorrow.” Qi Xuan looked at Mu Zi Yan, “He is afraid that he will have to recuperate in the mansion these days.”

Mu Zi Yan heart cold smile, recuperating in the State House, tomorrow’s palace to come to the decree, must be to enter the State House, cold cold Feng seeks a good plan, a bitter trick, but borrowed the State House to create momentum in the future into the officialdom, those bureaucrats must also look at the face of the State House on his courtesy of the right three times.

He had a good idea, but she didn’t want him to get what he wanted.

Mu Zi Yan said in a low voice, “He rests in the State Duke’s residence is always a little inconvenient, I remember that there is a hot spring pool in the western suburb, which is a good place to recuperate, why not ask him to go there”

Qi Xuan was silent for a long time, and raised his eyes to look at Mu Zi Yan, “Cousin but you have doubts about him”

Mu Zi Yan whispered, “What does cousin think of him”

“He will become a great man in the future.” Qi Xuan and Leng Hanfeng had a good conversation, if not for last night’s incident, he might have been able to make friends with Leng Hanfeng.

Mu Zi Yan saw Qi Xuan only say these four words, then she knew how powerful Leng Hanfeng’s ability to pull people’s hearts together was, she raised her eyes to look into the distance, “Knowing people’s faces is not knowing their hearts, nowadays the State Duke’s Office can’t stand up to criticism.”

Qi Xuan fixed his eyes on the Mu Zi Yan in front of him, thin body, that childish face, how could a trace of the time has changed pale for no reason to give birth to it

A flash of heartache crossed his heart, and he hurriedly returned to his senses, saying in a low voice, “I’ll just go and invite him myself.”

“Cousin, I’m doing this for the good of the State Duke’s Office.” Mu Zi Yan said in a serious tone.

“I understand cousin’s feelings.” Qi Xuan smiled gently, turned around, and went to the compartment.

Qi Xue’er walked out at this moment and looked at Mu Ziyan, “Eldest cousin, is this matter to be investigated”

“Check.” Mu Zi Yan didn’t want this kind of thing to happen again in the State Duke’s residence, it seemed that there were also restless people within the State Duke’s residence.

Old Lady Guo Gong saw Mu Zi Yan enter the room and beckoned, “Smoke girl come here.”

“Grandmother.” Mu Zi Yan smiled as she stepped forward and leaned into Elder Lady Guo Gong’s arms.

Elder Duchess of State lovingly stroked her green silk, “How do you feel about last night’s events”

Mu Zi Yan said in a low voice, “This matter should be given to the Zhong family and the Hou family, although they don’t say anything, it’s hard to guarantee that there will be ears on the other side of the wall.”

“That’s true.” Old Lady Guo Gong’s eyes narrowed slightly as she continued, “How about I leave this matter to you to investigate thoroughly?”

“This,” Mu Zi Yan whispered, “I’m afraid it will cause offense.”

“You girl.” Elder Duchess of State put her arm around her and laughed, “Where did that wit just now go?”

“Smoke always has to go back to Mu Houfu, father and mother are still waiting.” Mu Zi Yan felt that this matter by the State Duchess personally thorough investigation of the good, after all, although this place is the mother’s mother’s home, but also can not overstep the role.

Auntie would not say anything about it, could it be that other people are uncomfortable in their hearts.

Elder Duke of State understood the meaning of Mu Zi Yan’s words, and then sighed, “Just as well, this girl of yours is just a Grinch.”

Mu Zi Yan was thinking of intervening, but just heard the State Duke of the old lady that a sigh, since it is clear, the State Duke of the old lady read countless people, who is treacherous and who is able to distinguish, so she is not worried about the State Duke of the House will not be able to find out this matter, as for Leng Hanfeng, she couldn’t wait for him to hurry and get out of the State Duke of the House.

So, after half a day, Mu Zi Yan left the State House, and Jin Daifu is also agreed, half a month later with him to the Divine Doctor door, but Mu Zi Yan is not assured of the Marquis of Mu, you can know that the second house and the third house is only a temporary pause.

When she returned to the Marquis Mu Mansion, Yunxiang got the message and reported in a low voice, “Eldest Miss, Leng Pangye has just left the State Duke’s Mansion, and is now heading to the hot springs manor in the western suburb.”

“It’s a pity,” Mu Zi Yan thought that if a few days earlier, Leng Hanfeng had traveled to the hot springs manor, perhaps he and Zhong Xuan would have met, Mu Zi Yan thought this way, seemingly thinking of something, perhaps, he and Zhong Xuan had already met.

Mu Zi Yan got off the carriage, lifted his steps into the house, and went straight to the Jiyue courtyard.

From Sister sprinted back to the Long Pine Courtyard, and when she saw the old madam’s gloomy face, her heart was shocked, and she hurriedly knelt on the ground, “Old madam, it’s the old slave’s uselessness.”

The old lady snorted coldly, “I had underestimated that girl.”

“The old slave has been tripped up all the time, and is really unable to get close.” From Sister is also angry, that Cui Sister has been staring at her, where she goes, Cui Sister will follow, even when she goes out to pay respects, Cui Sister also followed, really can not get out of the way.

The old madam slowly closed her eyes, “There’s no harm in it, even if this girl had heavenly abilities, she wouldn’t be able to turn over the sky.”

“And what happened today,” asked Sister From carefully.

“What happened today,” the old lady sneered, and stopped talking.

From Sister hurriedly responded and retreated on her own.

Qi’s see Mu Zi Yan back, this is a sigh of relief, “you this girl, how can you go for half a day, things can be done.”

“Auntie is still investigating.” Mu Zi Yan didn’t hide it from Mu Qing Yuan and Qi, so she told them in detail what happened in the State Duke’s Mansion.

After Mu Qingyuan heard this, his eyes slightly converged, “Smokey, this matter is something you must not meddle in.”

“Yes, father.” Mu Zi Yan obediently responded, and her words were undoubtedly a wake-up call for Mu Qing Yuan.

Mu Zi Yan from the State House back, the mind is difficult to calm, always feel that there will be a big event, although some trajectory and the previous life is different, but, she is very clear, after January, father and brother are afraid that something will happen.

And she vaguely felt that this matter must have something to do with the second house, something to do with the old madam, or worse, something to do with Leng Hanfeng.

Qi couldn’t help but get a little worried, “This State Duke’s Mansion is afraid to be unsettled.”

Mu Zi Yan looked at Qi and said in relief, “Mother don’t worry, there is grandmother, besides, uncle and cousin are not that good to be bullied, even though maternal grandfather is at the border with second and third uncle, that the people who want to deal with the State Duke’s mansion will not do so at this time.”

Qi nodded and said quietly, “It’s always a worry.”

Mu Qingyuan gently held Qi’s hand, “You’re worried, but didn’t Smokey get a happy event as well”

It was only then that Qi remembered that Mu Zi Yan had worshipped Doctor Jin as her teacher, which spread a smile, “Rather, this girl of yours is a blessed one.”

Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly and said, “It is a blessing to have father and mother to cover you.”

“You are also tired for the day, go back and rest.” Qi knew that Mu Zi Yan was teasing her and was relieved that it was her own daughter who was sweet.

Mu Zi Yan then also smiled and answered, to leave the Jiyue courtyard, then went back to the smoke fall courtyard.

Yuexi courtyard, Mu Zixi learned that Mu Ziyan back, did not have any ringing, can not help but be a little puzzled, but do not know how the place in the end how to look at their own that was wrapped up tight arm, the heart is like a stone, suffocated her breathless.

Chunyu hurriedly inside, will inquire about the news told Mu Zixi, Mu Zixi immediately went crazy like howling, went to a day, even so back, not even a little account is not her arm will be destroyed for nothing?

Mu Zixi was furious, and ignoring the pain in that arm, she struggled down from the bed and rolled on the floor when her feet slipped.

Chunyu was so frightened that she hastily knelt down and carefully supported Mu Zixi, “Second Miss, where are you going”

“I’m going to ask, who in the world harmed me,” Mu Zixi said, then braced herself on the floor and wobbly rushed out of the house.

Mu Zi Yan has just returned to the inner room, removed the outer clothing on the body, changed a fresh dress, at this moment is leaning against the soft couch, Bi Yun brought chilled sour plum juice, Mu Zi Yan sip a few mouthfuls, then put aside.

She held her forehead with one hand and gently knocked on the several cases with the other, pondering what Leng Hanfeng would do next

Yunxiang stepped forward and whispered, “Eldest Miss, Second Miss Zhong entered the palace this morning.”

“Into the palace,” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly, why did she enter the palace?

Yunxiang continued, “Now it has not yet left the palace, I heard that it is Empress Hui who summoned her.”

“Keep a careful eye on it, and report immediately once you leave the palace.” Mu Zi Yan said in a deep voice.

“Yes.” Rue Xiang answered and retreated.

Earlier, Mu Qinyuan had given her two hidden guards, one fine with probing and tracking, and one responsible for covert protection, and these two only listened to her orders, and since giving them to her, they were not deployed by Mu Qinyuan.

In her previous life, she also gave these two hidden guards to Leng Hanfeng, and after he was crowned king, these two hidden guards also died a tragic death in his hands, and in this life, she will definitely make Leng Hanfeng eat his own evil, and will not be able to end well.

While she was thinking, footsteps came from outside the courtyard, and a little noise, Mu Zi Yan is now also able to identify who it is through the slightest breath, although the knowledge is limited to within one foot, but it is also a good start.
