Chapter 080: Turning Risks Into Opportunities (1 / 2)

“That depends on how much the Emperor values the Crown Prince.” Zhong Xuan propped her jaw with one hand, raising her eyes to gaze into Leng Hanfeng’s pair of deep eyes, and after a few moments of contemplation leisurely opened her lips.

Leng Hanfeng met Zhong Xuan’s eyes that were looking at him with autumn waves, and spoke faintly, “His Majesty attaches great importance to the Crown Prince, otherwise he wouldn’t have given him the errand of killing Mu Lingxuan.”

“I don’t really think that the Emperor is really trying to hand over the kingdom of the country to the Crown Prince.” Zhong Xuan’s eyes were slightly raised, “Otherwise, you wouldn’t be openly the Crown Prince’s staff but secretly colluding with the Third Prince.”

Leng Hanfeng laughed lowly, “Then you think the third prince can be able to ascend to the Great Treasure.”

“With me here, it will definitely work out.” Zhong Xuan’s eyes crossed a flash of gorgeous and incomparable splendor as she said with confidence.

The reason why Leng Hanfeng is attracted to Zhong Xuan is because she is a person who will not give up until she achieves her goal, and for her own self-interest, she can not recognize her feelings, and she reveals this self is also what he likes.

“You already have a plan,” Leng Hanfeng couldn’t help but become a bit curious.

Zhong Xuan looked at him with a smile, “It has been there since, it just takes time, and until then, it’s best if you and I don’t make too much of a fuss about it.”

Leng Hanfeng nodded slightly and bloomed a gentle smile at her, in Leng Hanfeng’s opinion, even if a woman was smart, she was nothing more than a plaything.

The next day, Mu Zi Yan and Mu Ling Xuan has rushed half of the journey, because Mu Ling Xuan has an injury in the body, now also all in the hard to hold on, so running around for a day, to the night, it will be at the foot of the mountain at the foot of a farmer’s place to stay.

Mu Zi Yan helped Mu Ling Xuan into the inner room, seeing his face pale and creepy, she hurriedly helped him to sit down, while Mu Ling Xuan leaned aside, “I’m not in the way.”

Mu Zi Yan see him so strong to hold on, then know that he is hit by the blow has not yet come back to God, and the heart is even more a breath of air held, so to hold on until now.

When she turned around, she saw Yunxiang and Bi Yun enter the room before and after, one carrying hot water, the other carrying some simple coarse food, and then put it down, Yunxiang put a handkerchief into the basin, and then wrung it out and handed it to Mu Zi Yan.

Mu Zi Yan raised her hand to take it and gently wiped the cold sweat from Mu Ling Xuan’s forehead before looking at Bi Yun, “I remember before I left, Master left a bottle of Golden Sore Pill.”

“Exactly.” Bi Yun hurriedly took it out from within her bag and handed it to Mu Zi Yan with both hands.

Mu Zi Yan looked at the two of her, “And go out first.”

“Eldest Miss, let the slave girl do it.” Yunxiang stepped forward and said.

Mu Zi Yan shook her head, “There’s no need, the two of you will watch outside.”

“Yes.” Yunxiang and Bi Yun had no choice but to retreat.

Mu Zi Yan looked at Mu Ling Xuan, “Brother, let me see.”

Mu Lingxuan raised his eyes to look at her, his heart inexplicably bursting with heartache, thinking of her young age, but accompanying him to suffer such trials and tribulations, guilt.

Mu Zi Yan saw Mu Ling Xuan overflowing with guilt and pain, she smiled lightly and opened her mouth, “Brother, don’t forget, we are relatives, where in this world is more important than relatives”

“Good sister.” Mu Lingxuan also no longer squirms, moreover he doesn’t want to involve her at this time, so he lies down on the kang, Mu Ziyan lifts his robe, the wound on his back reopens, and his entire back is wet with blood.

Mu Zi Yan held back her heartache and carefully cleaned his wounds, then reapplied the medicine and bandaged them up before she sighed in relief and turned around to take out a set of clean robes from within her baggage to change into them for him.

Mu Lingxuan looked at Mu Ziyan at such an age and was so careful and understanding, his heart overflowed with warmth and relief, but he also felt that he had not taken good care of his sister.

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to look at him, a thin layer of sweat was held in front of her forehead, but the corners of her mouth were hung with a faint smile, “Brother, have a good night’s rest, and it won’t be too late to catch the road tomorrow.”

“Good.” Mu Lingxuan nodded his head and replied, then slowly closed his eyes and nourished his spirit.

Mu Zi Yan saw him resting, then she was relieved, turned around and stepped out of the house, then she saw Yunxiang and Bi Yun two people were busy.

Outside was a modest yard, with chickens penned on one side and a pigsty in the backyard, where a large yellow dog lay on the ground, squinting and looking a little sleepy.

The air at the foot of the mountain is undoubtedly fresh and comfortable, she raised her eyes to look at the stars in the sky, each one is as bright as the other, she then looked to Yunxiang is helping Auntie Fatty to clean up the stove, the two seem to be chatting about something.

Bi Yun, on the other hand, stood outside the fence and scouted around before turning back and feeding the horse, and when she raised her eyes to Mu Zi Yan, she whispered, “Missy, this fat aunt is really a warm and refreshing person.”

Mu Zi Yan nodded slightly, “This is a peaceful place, but hopefully it won’t bring disaster because of us.”

With that thought, a ghostly light flashed low in her eyes, and she turned and went back inside.

Just as she went in, she heard a loud noise in the inner room, she was startled and rushed in, and saw Mu Lingxuan looking at the black clothed man in front of him with his eyes wide open, who was currently holding a dagger in his hand and was stabbing at him.

Mu Zi Yan rushed forward, picked up the horsewhip that was placed on the table, and then lashed out at the man in black, the man in black’s eyes flashed a smear of murderous intent, and then with a palm chopped away Mu Ling Xuan’s hand that was blocking in front of her, and turned around and jumped out from the window and disappeared.

Mu Zi Yan rushed forward, and saw Mu Ling Xuan’s eyes staring blankly, looking as if he had been greatly stimulated.

She rushed forward, because the oil lamp in the room does not have to candlelight bright, therefore, she did not see clearly who that person is, but now look at the brother of this kind of look, she also guessed a few points.

She never expected that Zhong Hui would follow her and kill her brother.

Mu Lingxuan didn’t have a breakdown like Mu Zi Yan imagined, or in pain, but gradually came back to his senses, raised his eyes and looked at Mu Zi Yan, his tone with the original gentleness, “Sister may not be a problem, I’m not in the way.”

Mu Zi Yan see him like this, the heart is like being cut by a thousand knives, she would rather her brother cry a lot, or vent a pass, but also do not want to see him forced to suppress the pain of the heart and become so calm.

The more he acted as if nothing had happened, the more pain he must have endured in his heart.

She ultimately failed to say anything else to irritate him, but responded softly, “Then brother is to have something to eat”

Mu Lingxuan nodded his head and responded, then Mu Ziyan personally brought wild vegetable porridge, and the farmer’s own pancakes, Mu Lingxuan lowered his head and gorged himself, not knowing what he was eating, but just to fill his stomach and replenish his strength.

Mu Zi Yan lowered her head and quietly accompanied him to finish eating together, and then she watched him lie down again.

She remembered Zhong Hui’s deep and unrepentant love for her brother in her previous life, and she had always thought that Zhong Hui was different from Zhong Xuan, who loved her brother, and thus ended up depressed and finally died of depression after his death.

But now it seems that she is really too stupid and naive, but she does not understand how Zhong Hui later died.

Mu Zi Yan had a momentary trance, after calming down, seemed to have thought of something, then looked to Bi Yun who came in, “Call Yun Xiang.”

“Yes.” Bi Yun is not aware of what happened just now, just looking at Missy’s gloomy face, put on the table food has been used, then also did not dare to ask more, turned around and went to Yunxiang to call over.

Mu Zi Yan looked at Yun Xiang and said in a low voice, “Tell Hidden One to go check if sister-in-law can be in the mansion.”

“Yes.” Yun Xiang answered in a low voice, turned around and went to send a message to Hidden One.

Bi Yun saw Mu Zi Yan’s face was very gloomy, so she knew that nowadays the young lady is in deep thought, so she didn’t disturb, but packed up the dishes and retreated out by herself.

Mu Zi Yan didn’t know if her brother was really asleep, but she knew that this night, she was bound to be sleepless.

Thinking of Zhong Hui even want to kill brother, she would hate to catch Zhong Hui, skin and bones, this world, the most hurtful is a “love” word, in the name of love, painted as a prison, who first moved the true love, but also the last person who was hurt the most, and Zhong Hui from the beginning to take advantage of the brother, so that his brother fell into the warmth of her love, but in the end, but But in the end, she wants to send him to hell with her own hands.

Zhong Hui, I’m going to make sure you can’t live and can’t die.

Mu Zi Yan in his previous life, for the departure of loved ones heartbroken, but never expected, and finally sent his brother into the Yellow Springs is his brother’s beloved sister-in-law This is how ridiculous things and how cruel to the extreme.

But she knows better, Zhong Hui married into the Marquis of Mu, is afraid of more than that, then her real purpose and what is it is not secretly get along with the old lady, from dad that took the marquis of the seat

Mu Zi Yan feel that she is about to find the truth, but will always refresh her new senses of things around her, sister-in-law is a hidden evil snake beauty, this is what she never thought, the old lady loved is the third uncle, not the second uncle, this is also her previous life did not think of, and now things have developed to this point, she knows she is the time to take action, or else, the big house is the same as the previous life of the end.

Just Mu Zi Yan too want to know planning all of this is who is so step by step, step by step, will be the big house bit by bit to eat, and then use her will be the state government into the land of doom, she does not believe that Leng Hanfeng has the ability to do so, but also know that Leng Hanfeng is also this game of chess in the chess game is essential chess piece.

Mu Zi Yan’s last life is a peaceful chess piece, but also be used thoroughly, and then do not know, but this life, she will be in the maze of the whirlpool to stir up this deployment of the exquisite chess game, she is bound to dig out the real mastermind behind.

This night, Mu Zi Yan sat by herself on the side to meditate, while Yun Xiang and Bi Yun were guarding the outside until five o’clock in the morning, when the sky was not yet bright, Mu Zi Yan woke up, and then looked at Mu Ling Xuan who was lying on the kang, and saw that he was lying with his eyes open.

She stepped forward and called softly, “Brother.”

“En,” Mu Lingxuan came back to his senses in a trance, just in time to meet Mu Ziyan’s concerned eyes, he then slowly got up and smiled gently at her, “Wash up and then get moving.”

“Good.” Mu Zi Yan smiled and answered, the two of them had not mentioned anything about the assassination last night.

When they left, the fat aunt stood outside with a smile and watched them leave, turned around to enter the house, she saw a silver ingot on the table, she picked it up, weighed it, and couldn’t stop talking happily.

Mu Zi Yan and Mu Ling Xuan still rushing, the capital these two days but not quiet, I do not know who spread the rumor, now the whole capital of the streets are circulating about the Prince in order to eradicate dissent, deliberately arranged a killer, on the way to the southern foot, killed the officials, only because the accompanying not only the Mu Marquis son, but also the children of the ten great families, in addition to the Mu Marquis son, the other families! In addition to the sons of the Mu Marquis House, the sons of the other families who died tragically were not considered the mainstay of the family, but they were also talented, so they might be able to have a great future in the future.

Now the top ten families got the news, and knowingly, now but also do not know what to do, after all, these follow the Prince to go, some are not lack of Prince’s staff.

Fortunately, Leng Hanfeng because of the just took office, so did not travel together, otherwise, this time together, afraid of another good show to see.

Inside the State Duke’s Mansion, Qi Xuan had just received a letter from Mu Zi Yan, his face sank, he turned around and went straight to his father Qi Yan’s study.

Qi Yan saw him come in with a somewhat grave expression, so he asked in a low voice, “But something happened to Smoke Girl”

“Father, this matter involves a wide range, now cousin and cousin is rushing back to the capital, now counting the days, the night will be able to arrive, but I do not know how to enter the city,” Qi Xuan knows that his father has an idea, so he came to ask.

Qi Yan was silent for a long time, “What does Smoke Girl think”

“The intention of cousin’s letter is to enter the city in a proper manner, and then enter the palace overnight.” Qi Xuan felt that this move was too risky, and if he angered the Emperor, he would incur the trouble of killing him.

Qi Yan sat on the book case, and after a long period of silence, he continued, “Then the rumors within the capital were done by you”

“It was the child who did it.” Mu Lingxuan didn’t deny it and spoke bluntly.

Qi Yan continued, “It seems that it was also Smoke Girl who told you to do so, otherwise, you wouldn’t have done such a thing.”

Qi Xuan’s face scratched a touch of unnaturalness as he answered in a low voice, “It was my cousin who told me to pass it on like this.”

“Smoke girl also let you do what” Qi Yan think Mu Zi smoke although small age, but is an idea, from these days all kinds of things happen, she can as soon as possible to make a response to the strategy, will know that she did, must have a series of plans.

“Cousin has not yet sent a letter.” Qi Xuan was only following what Mu Zi Yan had said in her letter, and now he had only done these few things.

Qi Yan shook his head and said, “This smoke girl must have made other plans, you do not worry, just wait to see how she makes a fuss, since they can come back alive, the state government can not let them just lost.”

“Child understands.” Qi Xuan responded, which was somewhat reassuring, and turned around before leaving the study.

He knows that Mu Zi Yan has other plans, but now he is the Prince of the State House, but also to consider the safety of the State House, so he had to tell his father about this matter, one in order to find out his father’s attitude towards this matter, and the second is to reassure himself.

Mu Zi Yan rushed back to the capital overnight, and the rumors about the Prince of the capital rumors about the matter boiled, and even the emperor also knows the rumors, immediately the dragon face angry, this is undoubtedly a thief after the shame and anger only.

However, the emperor’s anger, is also commonplace, so it will not be transmitted out of the palace, since it will not affect the capital continues to heat up the gossip.

And just at this time, the capital of the magistrate’s office but found a bizarre thing, but also to push this speech on, was originally carried back by the local officials of the body, but now they are all lying horizontally in the capital of the magistrate’s office in front of the head of the body, horizontal and vertical, so not scary.

What’s more, the death of these people is too miserable, the people learned that they have gathered around, each scared and screaming, and immediately broke the guts, and dispersed in a flurry.

Zhang Zong rushed to the government offices outside the time, to see is this horrific scene, immediately ordered all the corpses will be coffined, just before they have time to do, the major families, or accompanying officials of the family have got the letter rushed over, when they saw their loved ones died so miserable, even if it is the heart of the matter, the heart is also a few points on the Prince’s resentment.

Whether it is the crown prince’s staff, or the crown prince wants to eradicate, but now forget that the crown prince life and death is not known, all together kneeling in front of the palace, but also to the undead son of the world family to seek justice.

Mu Zi Yan and Mu Ling Xuan in those families have rushed to the palace, kneeling at the entrance to the palace, the two steered their horses into the city gates, and then ran straight to the palace, to be traveled to the entrance to the palace, Mu Ling Xuan rolled over and dismounted, and knelt in the forefront of the public.

Mu Zi Yan since can not go together, just far away to see, straight until the palace to come, and then declared them into the palace, she led Yunxiang and Biyun back to the Marquis of Mu.

When he entered the Smoke Fall Courtyard, he went straight into the inner room, changed out of the men’s clothes, and then put on a lightweight long skirt, simply pulled up his hair in a bun, and then went straight to Zhong Hui’s courtyard.

Ling’er saw Mu Zi Yan coming from afar, her heart was flustered, but she didn’t dare to be slow, and hurriedly greeted her, “Slave girl has met the eldest young lady.”

“How is sister-in-law’s body,” Mu Zi Yan asked in a low voice, not smiling too much, but walking directly towards the house.

Seeing Mu Zi Yan like this, Ling’er’s heart became more and more uneasy, but she still whispered back, “Great Young Grandma’s body is better, and now she has already rested.”

Mu Zi Yan said in a low voice, “There’s no harm, I’m just coming over to take a look, since sister-in-law is resting, I’ll come back tomorrow.”

“Yes.” Ling’er saw Mu Zi Yan’s foot that had just stepped into the house then backed out again, actually turning around and walking away like this, which made her somewhat unable to react.

After Mu Zi Yan left, Ling’er was still shocked out of a cold sweat, but also do not care to wipe, and quickly turned into the inner room, went up to the bed beside the couch, then saw a figure from the side came out.

“Great Young Grandmother.” Ling’er knew that the one in front of her was the real Zhong Hui, so she was relieved, “Just now, the eldest young miss has come.”

“I know.” Zhong Hui nodded indifferently and turned her eyes to the person who was already kneeling in front of her, “You and go back.”

“Yes, slave girl will retire.” That person hung her head and replied, then she retreated.

Ling’er raised her eyes and looked at her cold as ice face, thinking that she could have missed it

Zhong Hui raised her eyes to look at her, “Zhong Xuan can send a letter.”

“The second young miss did not send a message over, it’s just that the marquis sent a message over saying that if you come back, go see him immediately.” Ling’er whispered.

Zhong Hui’s eyes turned cold, and she turned around and left the courtyard again.

Mu Zi Yan returned to the Smoke Drop Courtyard, Yun Xiang followed closely, “Eldest Miss, Hidden One just sent word that he just returned to the Marquis’ residence and left again in a hurry.”

“Keep an eye on her, I’d like to see how long she can still pretend” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly, her body exuding a thick murderous aura.

“Yes.” Rue Xiang answered in a low voice and retreated.

Mu Zi Yan is leaning on the soft couch, running these days, now even if the body is tired, but also do not dare to have half a bit of slack, raised his eyes to Bi Yun, “Auntie that there can be movement.”

“Back to the eldest miss, there is steward Lu, the second madam has been locked up in the ancestral hall, now taking that medicine for losing heart day after day, now she is really delirious.” Bi Yun made tea and placed it on one side, whispering.

Mu Zi Yan nodded slightly and slowly closed her eyes, “After entering the palace, it’s up to brother.”

“Eldest Miss, what exactly do you think that Duke Chu is going to do with the Crown Prince,” Bi Yun asked in disbelief.

“Then it depends on what he is aiming for.” Mu Zi Yan didn’t know what Chu Ye’s intentions were, just that it would be good if he didn’t provoke her again in the future.

Inside the palace, in the Taiyi Hall, the emperor ascended to the throne at the age of sixteen, and now he has been in power for more than thirty years, and has already passed the age of puzzlement, he sits in the dragon chair without any anger, coldly sweeping over the ten great family heads who are kneeling on the ground, and finally his eyes landed on Mu Lingxuan’s body.

“Mu Shizi, you are now alive back, know the whereabouts of the crown prince,” the emperor’s face is cold and sullen, along with the tone is also low.
