    Chapter Index

    However, she was only halfway there when she saw a white light flash by, and in just a flash, Mu Zi Yan disappeared at the end of the long corridor.

    “Senior uncle” Mu Zi Yan now back against the cold white jade stone wall, the small body was in front of the upright figure shrouded, she calmly met his masked, exposed a pair of eyes, this is the first time she and he so close to the eyes.

    Only now this posture is a bit strange, and the person in front of her does not seem to have this kind of realization, she only felt that the eyes in front of her are as clear as a pool of water, but also brilliant and bright.

    She was intent on reminding her, but he didn’t move a muscle, lowering his eyes to look down at her, “Smokey likes Qi Shizi”

    “Senior uncle left a note for disciple to come out to ask about this” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes flashed a touch of coldness, looking straight at him.

    Chu Ye hidden in the mask under the lips slightly pursed up, white jade carved mask, cold and glistening, more lined with his pair of eyes as brilliant as stars, his body exudes a light orchid gas, and there is no any ground medicinal herbs flavor, but instead more than a few points of sweetness.

    The corners of her mouth were slightly turned away, thinking that there was still a lot of fun to be had outside, so was she just going to stare at it with her eyes wide open?

    “Senior uncle, disciple still has something to do, if senior uncle has no other orders, then disciple will leave.” Mu Zi Yan said in a low voice, seeing that he didn’t have the intention to get out of the way, she raised her hand and waved his arm against the wall away.

    Chu Ye hooked his lips in a shallow smile, blossoming into a flash of brimming splendor, “Hold this object.”

    He said handing her an embroidered handkerchief with red plums on it, “It will save her life.”

    Mu Zi Yan looked at him in disbelief, “Where did this come from”

    “Stolen.” Chu Ye said, his figure flickered, and he disappeared, but the faint breath that seemed to be there was still lingering between her nostrils.

    Mu Zi Yan stared down at the red plum square handkerchief, with is a good ice cicada silk, embroidery on the exquisite, this red plum embroidered delicate and proud, touch through the cold, she stared at the square handkerchief, think the owner must be honored extraordinary, she gently close to the tip of the nose sniff a little bit, but can smell the faint plum blossom aroma, she raised his eyebrows, murmured, “When it really is a steal! “

    While she was pondering, the sound of footsteps came from not far away, Mu Zi Yan hurriedly put away the square handkerchief and raised her eyes to look around, Chu Ye was really good at finding a place, she crossed forward along the path in front of her, then she could go straight back to her seat.

    Mu Zi Yan listened to the footsteps getting closer and closer, and walked forward quickly, and when she crossed the path, she slowly returned to her seat.

    Mu ZiXi saw Mu ZiYan come back a while later and thought she had gone to change her dress, but looking at what she was wearing, which was still the same one she had worn just now, her eyes flashed with a touch of calculation, and she inquired in a low voice, “Eldest Sister, where have you been”

    Mu Zixi’s words are always able to seemingly draw the attention of the bystanders, and those who can draw attention to them are either people who care about you or people who want you dead.

    Obviously, Mu ZiXi belonged to the latter, and she looked at Mu ZiYan worriedly, “My younger sister thought that big sister had gone to change, and as it happens, it will be on my sister’s turn later on.”

    Mu Zi Yan turned her eyes to look at Mu Zi Ruoxi, and did not get annoyed with her, or store an expression of weakness, but just whispered, “I was not able to win the wine, so I walked, and dispersed the wine breath before I came back.”

    “So it is.” Mu Zixi asked with a smile, “Big Sister but she wants to change her clothes”

    Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly and said, “It would be good for the two sisters to enjoy themselves this day.”

    “Big sister where are your words.” Mu Zixi saw that she looked faint and didn’t care much.

    The old madam turned her eyes to see Mu Zixi constantly picking fights and losing repeatedly, she furrowed her brows and said in a deep voice, “Ruoxi girl, don’t stick to your big sister.”

    Mu Zixi turned her eyes to the old madam’s eyes lowered in warning before she quietly lowered her eyes and obediently responded, “Grandmother, Ruoxi is merely concerned about big sister.”

    “I knew you were a lovable child.” The old lady said kindly.

    Mu Zixi had to obediently shut up and remain silent, just quietly looking at the stage, appearing somewhat distracted.

    Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes and swept a glance, the ten great families, now in addition to the Blue Family, the Mu Family, the Zhong Family, and the Zhang Family, the rest have already performed, the one that caught people’s eyes was the Cui Family’s second young lady.

    She is now wearing a plain white dress, skirt embroidered with hibiscus, is now playing the piano on one side, the other side of the poem, in response to the scene, the tone of clear and pleasant, the voice is also very pleasant, seven words of the law, but said the word seven “Rui”, such talent, has attracted a lot of the children of the world family here secretly fall in love with.

    The corner of Mu Zi Yan’s mouth slightly hooked, raised her eyes and swept over Zhong Xuan, she was looking forward to Zhong Xuan’s performance, in her previous life, she wasn’t here today, and Mu Zi Ruoxi was even replacing her seat, topping the name of the first daughter of the Marquis of Mu to make a name for herself at the palace banquet this night.

    Zhong Xuan was also not present, and the Zhong Xuan of her previous life was also still in the manor at the moment.

    The same trajectory, but different people involved, Mu Ziyan can’t help but be a little curious, how exactly did Zhong Xuan win the jackpot?

    Mu Zixi was confident, and waited straight until Cui Er Miss Cui Yun Ran’s curling voice fell, winning a full house.

    Cui Yunran rose shyly, and with a slight blessing, she retreated from the stage.

    The next thing you see is Zhong Yu holding a pipa on stage, and just as he took his seat and was about to play, a shriek came out, interrupting Zhong Yu’s performance.

    “Murder.”

    Mu Zi Yan quietly put down the wine glass in his hand, the corner of his mouth hooked up a touch of evil smile, the show finally started, but unfortunately, did not wait until Zhong Xuan on the stage, she raised her eyes to the opposite side of the Zhong Xuan, calm and relaxed, and not too much consternation, but also did not have any preparedness, Mu Zi Yan’s eyes flashed a touch of ghostly light, no wonder the time to pick the just right, she did not prepare, and also can not let Zhong Yu rob her of the limelight, and so it is only in the Zhong Yu just went on stage when the distant only issued a shriek.

    Mu Zi Yan naturally won’t take it as a matter of fact, but Mu Zi Ruoxi on the other side was furious and red in the face, she’s been allowed to go on for so long, why did something happen at this time?

    The shriek, which was full force, was thought to have been a shock.

    The Emperor was watching with great interest, but was interrupted by this sudden scream, his face coldly sank, coldly said, “Go and see.”

    “Yes.” Eunuch Ming, the eunuch-in-chief at the side, answered with his head hanging down, and then he personally went forward to check.

    For a while, the still pleasant atmosphere turned instantly to become heavy, the crowd did not dare to come out of the atmosphere, especially at this moment sitting on the stage Zhong Yu, appeared to be at a loss for words, did not know how to deal with themselves.

    When Consort Yun saw the Emperor’s gloomy face, Consort Yun turned her eyes to look at the Sister behind her, the Sister hurriedly handed her the twelfth prince in her arms, Consort Yun then teased the twelfth prince, “Emperor, look, Rui’er is smiling.”

    As soon as the Emperor heard this, the sullenness on his face dissipated a bit, and he turned his eyes to look at Jun Qian Rui in Consort Yun’s arms, only to see that he was smiling brightly at himself, as if it was the purest smile in this world.

    The emperor’s anger in his heart now subsided for the most part, personally raised his hand to hold Jun Qian Rui in his arms, and was about to receive it when he saw Eunuch Ming walking over with his head hanging down, “Your Majesty, the Zhang family’s eldest young lady hanged herself in the Plum Garden.”

    “What,” the emperor’s hands are still holding Jun Qianrui’s posture, but it is a momentary pause, and then slowly put away, “Zhang Aiqing, go and take a look.”

    “Yes.” Upon hearing this, Zhang Zong, who was sitting at the table, then got up, turned around, and went to the Plum Garden.

    The corner of Mu Zi Yan’s mouth hooked into a faint smile, and she raised her eyes to see Zhong Xuan looking at her with a smile.

    Qi Xuan and Mu Ling Xuan also dropped their eyes on Mu Zi Yan’s body, the two of them remembered that after Mu Zi Yan left the table just now, she went along the direction of the Plum Garden.

    Mu Zi Yan met Qi Xuan and Mu Ling Xuan’s caring eyes and nodded slightly at the two of them, seemingly reassuring them.

    Mu Zixi sat on the sidelines thinking that this Zhang Yirong died early, but rushed to reincarnate at this time, when it was really bad luck.

    Mu Zi Lan lowered her eyes and did not say anything, a look of unconcerned, to be able to come to participate in this kind of palace banquet, it is not easy, at this time, can not be strong out of the limelight, but also can not fall into the people’s truth.

    For a moment, everyone had their own thoughts, and the Reserve Pavilion became silent, with not even a tiny gasp coming out.

    Leng Hanfeng looked at the opposite side of Mu Ziyan and saw that she was sitting calmly and freely without any discomfort, his eyes narrowed slightly, obviously unaware of Zhang Yirong’s matter.

    Not long after, when Zhang Zong came back, the emperor said in a deep voice, “But what did you find out?”

    “Back to Your Majesty, Miss Zhang was strangled to death and hung from a tree branch.” When Zhang Zong said this, the crowd also drew a breath of cold air.

    Who is so bold as to dare to commit murder in the palace and so blatantly.

    “Check, this matter is bound to be checked out.” The emperor’s dragon face was furious, slapped the table and drank in a deep voice.

    Consort Yun, before the Emperor’s anger, has already let the Sister holding the twelfth prince back a few steps, therefore, did not scare the twelfth prince, if the twelfth prince cried, it is to get into trouble.

    Mu Zi Yan looked at Concubine Yun’s actions and sighed in her heart at Concubine Yun’s resourcefulness, sure enough, such a woman would undoubtedly be Concubine Hui’s strongest rival in the harem.

    “Your Majesty, I believe that the murderer must be amongst this dinner party, I ask Your Majesty to allow me to cross-examine them one by one.” Zhang Zong raised his voice to ask for permission.

    The emperor was naturally pleased, so he responded, “In that case, they will be cross-examined one by one.”

    “Yes.” Zhang Zong answered and turned around to mobilize his manpower.

    Mu Zi Yan couldn’t help but smile when she saw the high spirits that Zhang Zong always showed when treating the matter of the murder.

    At this time, someone suddenly spoke up, “I wonder if Mr. Zhang, can you ask someone to examine the corpse”

    After learning that Zhang Yirong was killed, Mrs. Zhang fainted immediately, and Marquis Zhang also had a heavy face, but now he was thinking whether there was some kind of conspiracy behind this

    Mu Zi Yan saw that someone had issued a question at this moment, and the people who were currently in a mess also dropped their gazes on her.

    Cui Yunran (1966-), historian of Northern Wei and Sui dynasty

    Mu Zi Yan looked at Cui Yun Ran and saw that she had been cool and arrogant since the beginning, and now she was setting her gaze on Zhang Zong.

    Zhang Zong said in a low voice, “Naturally, but the autopsy has always been rigorous, what this official did is only a preliminary judgment, if you want to be detailed, but also to invite the coroner to come.”

    “My daughter has heard that there is a female coroner in the capital magistrate’s residence, and after her autopsy, she will basically be able to pinpoint the murderer.” Cui Yunran spoke faintly.

    Mu Zi Yan looked at Cui Yun Ran, the smile on the corner of her mouth getting deeper and deeper, and then she looked at Zhang Zong, she saw that his face was gloomy, obviously, Zhang Zong didn’t like that the bystanders were mentioning Niangzi Lu at this time.

    “Exactly.” Zhang Zong replied back in a low voice, “This matter has already been reported to the court by this official, and she has been given the paperwork.”

    “My daughter knows, but now the Zhang family Miss died so miserable, and Zhang is only a preliminary autopsy, how can we conclude that the murderer is among us” Cui Yunran words is undoubtedly a stone stirred up a thousand layers of waves.

    Now the crowd began to whisper, obviously quite dissatisfied, but in the way of the Emperor’s presence, they pointed the finger at Zhang Zong.

    Zhang Zong, however, didn’t change his color, “Second Miss Cui, this official must be justified in handling cases.”

    “Since that’s the case, even if Lord Zhang wants to investigate people, then he must convince my daughter to do so.” Cui Yunran said in an unassuming manner.

    Cui Yunran’s performance was undoubtedly stunning, and now that she dared to face the Iron-faced Judge Zhang Zong, the crowd’s hearts could not help but feel a little more favorable towards Cui Yunran.

    Especially those children of the world’s families, the way they looked at Cui Yunran’s eyes at the moment was quite wonderful.

    Mu Zi Yan see Zhang Zong this is to suffer a loss, far will see someone to report, Zhang Zong turned toward the emperor respectfully salute, “Your Majesty, I have called pallbearer to come, if all of you here have doubts, you can go with the minister to the Plum Garden.”

    “In that case, then go with me.” The emperor is aware of Lady Lu, but has never seen her autopsy, so now he will also go in person.

    Mu Zi Yan rose with the crowd, and the line of people then hung their heads and followed the emperor through the long corridor into the Plum Garden.

    At this time, Zhang Yirong’s body has been put down, and is now lying flat on the ground, the emperor stood still, and then sat on the end of the dragon chair, while the others stood behind them in turn.

    When Zhang Zong saw Niangzi Lu come with her head hanging down, she first saluted towards the emperor, “My daughter sees Your Majesty.”

    “You are Lu Niangzi,” the emperor measured Lu Niangzi, see her face cold and heavy, appearance is not superior, but also a unique flavor.

    “My daughter is exactly.” Niangzi Lu answered in a low voice, although she had obtained the paperwork and could examine the corpse, but because she was a woman, she did not have any official position on the ground, so she was not a minister.

    “Level off.” The emperor now, however, did not have the heart to view the beauty, only because not far away there was still a dead man lying.

    Yun Fei since will not let the twelfth prince stained with this kind of filth, and then ordered the grandmother to carry the twelfth prince back to the bedchamber.

    And Concubine Yun was sitting beside the Emperor at the moment, “Emperor, this Miss Zhang died really”

    The emperor turned his eyes to look at Yunfei eyes flooded with tears, compared to Mu Zixi that delicate fabricated weakness, Yunfei’s is all natural.

    “Aifei don’t worry.” The emperor softly relieved said, obviously this word has another deep meaning, this day is because of the twelfth prince and congratulations, but out of human life, if this matter is maliciously expanded words, that the twelfth prince will be said to be ominous people, auspicious auspicious auspicious, no auspicious, where there are

    The Emperor’s few words, however, had given Consort Yun a piece of mind.

    The crowd present since they heard the real, are some clear-minded people, and can not understand the meaning of the words of the emperor, the heart can not help but sigh, the emperor is really the cloud princess favor to the extreme.

    Yun Fei is put down since the heart, moved to tears, but also forced to hold back tears, the emperor looked more and more pity, will be soft as if she was boneless slender jade hand held tightly.

    Mu Zi Yan is considered to see the cloud consort’s powerful place, the previous life she can not have seen the cloud consort, but also heard rumors, it is true that the name is not as good as the meeting, the cloud consort’s tactics are indeed brilliant.

    Mu Zi Ruoxi stood beside Mu Zi Yan, as if she couldn’t get rid of the plaster, at this moment in her heart, but she hated Zhang Yirong, she ruined her own arm not to mention that this night even ruined her bright future.

    She is confident, if she is today’s performance, will be able to win a full house, and then got the eyes of the Empress Dowager, then who dares to give her face but all the plans have been stirred up by the chapter Yirong, she now can not wait to chapter Yirong dismantled eight pieces.

    Mu Zi Yan was sensing her suppressed anger, but also just smiled faintly and didn’t care much.

    After Niangzi Lu gave her thanks and got up, she turned around and marched to Zhang Yirong’s corpse, half squatted and carefully examined it, and after the autopsy, she then got up, “Your Majesty, Miss Zhang died half an hour ago, that is, between 3:00 to 1:15 of the 11th hour of the 10th hour of the 10th day of the 10th month.”

    “Miss Zhang was abused before she was born, her left cheek was bruised and she had multiple injuries on her body, leading to her immediate cause of death being strangled and suffocated by this silk scarf.” As Niangzi Lu said this, she presented the silk scarf that was circled around Zhang Yirong’s neck.

    The emperor looked away, and then said, “But the tracks of the murderer can be found”

    “This person should be an acquaintance, moreover, with Miss Zhang close past.” Niangzi Lu continued, “There are half of the ground footprints under this tree, I think this is not the first crime scene, but someone strangled Ms. Zhang to death and then hung her in the plum garden, this person’s light skill is good.”

    When the emperor heard this, his face immediately sank, “According to what you said, it is someone who deliberately hung this Miss Zhang here”

    “Yes.” Niangzi Lu responded, “Folk maiden said just now that Miss Zhang had been abused before her body, and that she had also performed fish and water with someone.”

    The words out, chapter marquis of the face is quite embarrassing, the family lady, which is not cherish their own reputation, not to mention the chapter marquis, only chapter Yirong now less than eleven, how can do that kind of thing to it!

    This puzzled the Chapter Marquis, and the others were quite puzzled as well

    Mu Zi Yan listening to the judgment of Lu Niangzi, the corner of the mouth obviously twitch a few times, in the end is what people, to do so worse than beasts of burden, this chapter Yirong can not yet completely developed, ten years old in that world, or a child, even to make this kind of thing to, unless that person has a pedophile!

    She is really difficult to imagine, spare a previous life, she and cold cold Feng married already fourteen, that is because of her since childhood concept so, so there will not be any discomfort, just after a thousand years, now, she really can not accept.

    Mu Zi Yan so thought, raised his eyes and looked at Zhong Xuan, thinking that she is about to reach maturity, and Leng Han Feng has hooked up with, that the two no matchmaking metamorphosis, if so, that Zhong Xuan can be said to be physically and mentally strong, actually able to accept it!

    However, she was only secretly slandering, and if Zhong Xuan knew that she thought of herself in such a way, she would probably vomit blood as well.

    Mu Zi Yan and Zhong Xuan were born as enemies, and in her previous life, she had lost once and for all, and in this life, she believed that she would never lose to Zhong Xuan again, and moreover, she would make Zhong Xuan suffer the pain and despair that she had felt for the past thousand years.

    The people listening to is also look at each other, especially those ladies of the world family, at this moment has already been shy red face, grabbed the kerchief blocked their pretty face, do not dare to look up to see.

    Niangzi Lu’s words clearly had a deep meaning, and the one who could do such a thing, and at that time, must be familiar with Zhang Yirong.

    However, at this time, Mu Zixi turned her brain again, following the hour that Niangzi Lu had said, that time she suddenly spoke out in surprise, “Big sister, at that time did you run into your first cousin’s younger sister remembering that you happened to be leaving the table at that time.”

    Mu ZiXi’s words once again drew the attention of the crowd, and at this moment, the gazes once again fell on Mu ZiYan’s body.
