Chapter 090: Both Losing (1 / 2)

“My brother ah,” Su Qin Rou faintly raised her eyebrows, and then dropped her gaze on Su Shi Zi Su Wei who was watching from the sidelines.

Su Wei did not expect Su Qinrui to bring him up at this time, and hastily said with a straight face, “You girl, don’t talk nonsense.”

Qi Xuan listened to Su Qinrou’s words, turned his eyes to look at Su Wei, and then looked at Wang Xian kneeling on the ground, it is clear that Su Qinrou this is an insult to Wang Xian, but even the incidental will Su Shi Zi will also be interested in on.

“Oh.” Mu Zi Yan also followed Su Qin Rou’s words at this moment and looked at Su Wei.

Su Wei saw Mu Zi Yan looking at him, first a stunned, panicked eyes, look a little overwhelmed, compared to Qi Xuan and Mu Ling Xuan, Su Wei is only two years older than Su Qin Rou, and now only twelve, the skin is naturally thin, see Mu Zi Yan is sizing her up, immediately red face, hate to Su Qin Rou, the culprit, to catch over to teach a good lesson.

Su marquis wife stood aside, looked at his son’s red face, and looked at Mu Zi Yan that between the eyebrows overflowing with laughter, and now things have developed to this situation, Su marquis wife also know that the chapter family miss must not be Mu Zi Yan killed, or even more so, someone is still framed.

However, looking at Mu Zi Yan’s young age, she was able to show such boldness, and remembering that she had saved Zoe’s life just now, her favorable impression of Mu Zi Yan skyrocketed.

Mu Zi Yan see Su Wei is also only a teenager, there are four years before the weak crown, for her, that is the pure love of a schoolboy, she faintly smiled, turned her eyes to look at Su Qin Rou, “Sister Su, your brother can be much better looking than him.”

Su Qinrou hummed, “I also think, so ah, sister Mu, you really fancy him”

Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly, “Can’t get into my eyes.”

“Since you can’t get into the eyes, why bother” Su Qinrou raised her eyes to the emperor, “Your Majesty, my daughter has a request.”

“Say.” The emperor lamented these flowery children in front of him, not realizing that he was really old.

Su Qinruo said in a low voice, “This thief is an imperial guard, but even took advantage of his status to kill Zhang Da Miss, and then framed Sister Mu, his intentions are malicious, and his heart can be executed Ministerial daughter begs the Emperor to put this person on the spot.”

Su Qinrou words undoubtedly let the crowd light up, did not expect her young age, actually have such courage, it is very difficult to talk to the right after the water, woke up tugging Mu Zi Yan sleeve crying that timid look.

The emperor looked straight at Su Qinruo, his eyes slightly sunken, “Zhang Aiqing, I gave this matter to you, now how should you”

Zhang Zong said in a low voice, “Your Majesty, although we know that Miss Zhang was killed by him, we have yet to find the mastermind behind it.”

“Since the matter has come to an end, and it’s not too early now, this case will be handed over to you to continue pursuing.” The emperor felt that this farce should end, if he pursued it further, he might pull something out.

The people also know the reason for this, although they have doubts, but now they do not dare to say more.

Immediately seeing the Emperor rise, everyone knelt down, “Greetings, Your Majesty.”

Just then, a report came from outside, “The Empress Dowager has arrived.”

The emperor wanted to stop, but the empress dowager could not miss this time to Yun Fei to find pain it Therefore, at this moment has led the princess to come, and the empress dowager’s side also followed a person.

The people looked from afar, and before they rose, they knelt thus, “Greetings, Empress Dowager.”

“My son has met Mother.” The Emperor also greeted her.

The Empress Dowager now has sixty, but the maintenance is extremely good, especially the pair of phoenix eyes, radiating a deterrent ghost light, smiled up, “I heard that the plum garden has occurred in the case of the murder, will come over to take a look.”

Consort Yun stood behind the Emperor with a low brow and treated the Empress Dowager with respect, showing great understanding.

“The murderer has been captured, and now the matter of the aftermath of the case has been handed over by the Minister to the Jingzhao Yin.” The emperor whispered back.

The Empress Dowager raised her eyes and swept over the complexion of all the people kneeling on the ground, and finally landed her gaze on Mu Zi Yan and Su Qin Rou who were kneeling at the very front, “Who are these two girls again”

“My daughter sees the empress dowager, all hail the empress dowager,” Mu Zi Yan and Su Qin Rou answered together.

“Oh, it is the Su family and Mu family’s maid.” The emperor also said back, his heart secretly thought, if the empress dowager chose the Mu family’s girl, this matter can be difficult to deal with.

As expected, when the Empress Dowager heard that it was the Mu family’s maid, she immediately opened her mouth, “It’s the Mu family’s eldest young lady.”

“My daughter is exactly.” Mu Zi Yan is aware of the Empress Dowager’s temperament, able to survive in the Harem, how can that temperament be kind, not to mention the Empress Dowager.

“Lift up your head, let me take a closer look.” The Empress Dowager looked at Mu Zi Yan and said, apparently with a few moments of affection in her expression.

Mu Zi Yan was a bit puzzled, she and the Empress Dowager were also meeting for the first time, and the Empress Dowager’s attitude was obviously too enthusiastic.

Princess Yuehua, who was on the side, had a cold face since the beginning, and when she saw Mu Ziyan at this moment, she also dropped her gaze on her.

For a while, the crowd was a bit puzzled, not knowing why this empress dowager would be so interested in the eldest miss of the Mu family, however, they still made their own calculations and only felt that this eldest miss of the Mu family was a blessed one.

Mu Zi Yan slowly raised her eyes to meet the Empress Dowager’s measuring eyes, she was also not humble, just a smile, let the Empress Dowager see her from head to toe.

“Eldest Miss Mu, have you ever picked up Lin’an’s handkerchief” Princess Yuehua but at this moment spoke out.

Mu Zi Yan slightly stunned, Lin’an County Lord Pa pick up

She hastily recalled, the corner of her mouth obviously a skim, when it is really picked up, and the origin is not small, but Mu Zi Yan does not believe that it is really picked up.

She then took out from her bosom the square handkerchief that Chu Ye had shoved into her hands before his departure, “It was precisely my daughter who picked it up.”

“Sure enough, it’s here at your place.” Princess Yuehua only then breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look at the emperor, “brother, Lin An had thought to come to you to greet you, just now in the mother’s place a little seat a while, then came over to this place, but after a long time did not go back, the imperial sister is worried about, they ordered to go to look for her, coincidentally in the middle of the road to see her back, the imperial sister only then realized that she walked half, body discomfort, then leaned on the side of the pavilion to take a nap, bumped into Miss Mu, the two of them then chat a few words, but also could not hold out, then turned back. Pavilion to take a nap, bumped into Miss Mu, the two of them then gossiped for a few sentences, but also could not hold out, so they turned back.”

“So it is.” The emperor then said, “When did Lin An come over?”

“She came out at two minutes past ten, and it was already the eleventh hour when I found her.” Princess Yuehua truthfully replied back, still worried about County Princess Lin’an between her looks.

The crowd since the words of Princess Yuehua heard a true, one, Lin’an County Princess really into the palace two, Lin’an County Princess and Mu Zi smoke even coincidental encounter three, the two met the time to chat, just chapter Yirong killed time, from which it can be deduced that Mu Zi smoke is not the real culprits.

Now, Mu Zi Yan’s suspicion is completely cleared, and she also did not think, this square pad is really as Chu Ye said, is a life-saving, in that case, her heart also stored doubts.

Chu Ye will be this side of the Pa to her when, will know that she will be a difficult, and, look at the words of Princess Yuehua, think Lin’an County Lord is indeed to come to the Reserve Pavilion, but because of the body reasons, halfway back.

Then, why did County Lin’an say these words to excuse her there is only one explanation, that is, Chu Ye and County Lin’an are acquainted with each other, and the relationship is extraordinary.

Mu Zi Yan so think, think Chu Ye is the Divine Doctor Sect master, and Lin An County Lord since young body weak, so to say, Chu Ye and Lin An County Lord really know.

The Emperor nodded his head after listening to Princess Yuehua, “Lin’an is better now.”

“There is Prince Chu, who has already taken the medicine and is now out of the palace back to the Princess’s Mansion.” Princess Yuehua whispered back.

“This child.” The Emperor couldn’t help but sigh, turning his eyes to the Empress Dowager, “Empress Mother, it’s getting late, my son will send you back to your chambers.”

“I see that this girl is very destined, not if you follow me back to the bedchamber.” The empress dowager whispered.

Now, the faces of the people are different, there are joyful, there are grudges, there are shocked, while Mu Zi Yan feels that the Empress Dowager’s move is too strange, now at this time, let her follow the Empress Dowager back to the bedchamber, and for what?

Mu Zi Yan was about to refuse, but she saw that the Empress Dowager had already opened her mouth, “Does Miss Mu not want to talk to the mourning family”

Mu Zi Yan hurriedly hung her head, “My daughter wouldn’t dare.”

“Then still stupidly froze for what,” the Empress Dowager said and went forward to Mu Zi Yan to extend her hand.

The crowd is again a mouthful of cold air, the empress dowager in addition to Lin’an county princess, has never been with the other side of this kind of affinity, even if the emperor’s princesses, but never get the empress dowager this kind of treatment.

Mu Zi Yan hurriedly got up and carefully placed her hand on the empress dowager’s palm, the empress dowager smiled lovingly, then held Mu Zi Yan’s hand and left together.

Su Qinrou knelt on the ground and looked at Mu Zi Yan’s departing back, and for a while she had not returned to her senses.

Hou Yi Yi wiped a handful of cold sweat, seeing Su Qinrou still kneeling, she hurriedly went forward and dragged her up, “What’s wrong with you”

“Sister Mu will be alright,” Su Qinru muttered in her ear.

“This is a happy event.” Hou Yi Yi continued.

“I don’t think so.” Su Qinruo’s expression looked a bit grave, and then she turned her eyes to see Qi Xuan and Mu Lingxuan doing the same.

Hou Yi Yi somewhat did not understand, but did not dare to ask more, only because nowadays there are many mouths to feed, maybe trouble will come out of the mouth.

Zhang Zong looked down at the man and then ordered someone to escort him down, but just after dragging him up, the man vomited blood and fell to the ground dead.

“Bit the poison.” Nyx said after bending down to examine it.

Everyone looked at each other in dismay, now even the only clue is broken, how to investigate this matter

Marquis Zhang stepped forward and looked at Zhang Zong, “Lord Zhang, my daughter cannot die in vain.”

If Zhang Yirong’s death could not be investigated clearly, it would become a stain on the Zhang Houfu, and a handle for the onlookers to sneer at.

Zhang Zong’s face was cold and heavy, “Marquis Mu don’t worry, I’ll definitely find out what’s going on in this matter.”

“Good.” Marquis Zhang looked at Zhang Yirong lying on the ground, Marquis Lady Zhang had already fainted several times, he turned his eyes to Zhang Zong, “Lord Zhang, my daughter’s body”

“Before the case is clarified, Miss Mu’s body has to be carried back to the Jingzhao Yin’s government office.” Zhang Zong said in a low voice.

“But,” Marquis Zhang said as he looked at Zhang Zong.

“It won’t stay long.” Zhang Zong then arched his hand, “My humble servant will take his leave first.”

After Zhang Zong said that, he took Wang Xian and Zhang Yirong’s corpses and left the palace first.

The crowd then dispersed, Qi Xue’er and Qi Yu’er looked at Qi Xuan and Mu Lingxuan, “Cousin, but you want to wait for big cousin”

“Wait outside the palace.” Mu Lingxuan looked at Qi Xuan, “You should return to the palace.”

“There is no harm, even if I return to the residence at this moment, mother and old madam will not feel at ease, so I will wait with you.” Qi Xuan said in a warm voice.

“That’s good.” Mu Lingxuan answered in a low voice, and the group left the palace.

Mu Zi Ruoxi soulfully followed behind the old lady, how can it be why is Mu Zi Yan what in the world is good about her

Mu Zi Lan carefully followed behind the old madam, after the three of them boarded the carriage, Mu Zi Ruoxi raised her eyes to look at the old madam, and only then did she see that her complexion was so cold and creepy that she snapped out of it, and sat quietly on the sidelines not daring to make a sound.

Zhong Xuan and Zhong Yu both sat in the carriage, Zhong Yu raised his eyes to Zhong Xuan and sneered, “Second sister has miscalculated.”

“Third sister’s words, how could I not understand them” Zhong Xuan looked at her faintly and spoke in disbelief.

“Second sister and why pretend to be stupid” Zhong Yu since the death of Mrs. Zhong Hou and Zhong Hui, when she learned the truth about the death of the two, since that day, she is no longer the former ignorant Zhong Yu.

“What Third Sister said, I indeed don’t understand.” Zhong Xuan laughed lowly.

Zhong Yu let out a cold laugh, so he did not say anything more.

Zhong Xuan slowly lowered her eyes, a flash of solemn killing intent crossing the low level of her eyes.

Mu Zi Yan with the Empress returned to the Palace of Eternal Life, the emperor is also inconvenient for a long time, will first get up and leave, Princess Hui will also leave with the emperor, this with the Palace of Eternal Life, now only the Empress and Princess Yuehua, and Mu Zi Yan three people.

Princess Yuehua was seated at the Empress Dowager’s lower head, while Mu Ziyan was kneeling respectfully in the center of the hall.

The empress dowager saw that she did not forget the rules and etiquette even at this time, and did not have half a point of arrogance and complacency, her face was calm as usual, on the contrary, she nodded her head with satisfaction, turned her eyes to look at Princess Yuehua, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled.

Mu Zi Yan did not know what the Empress Dowager and Princess Yuehua were thinking, but now she was wondering why the Empress Dowager had called her to Yongshou Palace.

The Empress Dowager spoke amiably, “You girl get up quickly, I see that you are resourceful, so I want to talk to you more.”

“Thank you Empress Dowager for her grace.” Mu Zi Yan respectfully responded, and then she slowly got up and stood still, not daring to move.

The Empress Dowager beckoned toward her, “Come over here and let me see.”

Mu Zi Yan responded with a low brow, “Yes.”

With that, he walked slowly to three paces away from the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager smiled and reached out to hold her hand, pulling her a little closer and looking at her once more for a moment, “How is your mother”

“Back to the Empress Dowager, Mother is very good.” Mu Zi Yan was really a bit uncomfortable with the Empress Dowager’s enthusiasm.

The empress dowager smiled lowly and said, “It’s not early, I will send someone to send you back, this is the token of the palace of the mourning family, some other day the mourning family wants to speak with you, then declare you over.”

“Yes.” Mu Zi Yan received the token with both hands from the Empress Dowager, and then she made another big salute.

After Mu Zi Yan left, the Empress Dowager picked up the tea on the side and said with a smile, “Your girl is a smart and resourceful one.”

“What Mother said is true.” Princess Yuehua nodded in agreement.

Mu Zi Yan since the Yongshou Palace out, this is secretly relieved, then along with the palace maid to the outside of the palace, just stepped out of the De’an Gate, will see the palace door Qi Xuan and Mu Ling Xuan’s silhouette, the corner of her mouth hooked up a faint smile, to be out of the palace door, to meet the front, “brother, cousin.”

“Since you’re unharmed, go back to the mansion first.” Mu Lingxuan was relieved to see that she was unharmed.

“My daughter has to make a trip to the Beijing Zhaoyin Yamen first.” Mu Zi Yan said in a low voice.

“I’ll send you there.” Mu Lingxuan said indifferently.

“Cousin, I’ll go along with you.” Qi Xuan looked towards Mu Zi Yan and inquired in a warm voice.

Mu Zi Yan didn’t consider it before nodding her head and responding, “Then I’ll be grateful to cousin.”

“Go.” Qi Xuan saw Mu Zi Yan agree and smiled warmly and lightly.

The three of them then went together to the government office of the capital city.

Zhang Zong stayed in the study with a gloomy face at the moment, and when he heard Mu Zi Yan come, he came back to his senses, and then personally went to meet him.

“Prince Qi, Prince Mu, and Miss Mu.” Zhang Zong stepped forward and arched his hand.

Mu Zi Yan smiled faintly, “There is no need for you to be courteous, and go inside to talk in more detail.”

“Good.” Zhang Zong nodded his head in response, and then they entered the house together.

When Niangzi Lu heard the letter, she rushed over since then, and when she saw Mu Zi Yan, she immediately sat down beside her, “Sister Yan’er is so lucky.”

Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly, “Why is sister Lu laughing at me.”

“Isn’t it,” Lu Maiden whispered, “that Lin’an county princess is the world’s most beautiful girl, it’s rare to see her once, but you’ve bumped into her, but you haven’t mentioned a word about it, I think it’s the Lin’an county princess who entrusted me with it.”

Mu Zi Yan didn’t deny it, just smiled lightly and said, “It’s just a coincidence.”

Niangzi Lu continued, “The Blue Family’s Second Miss did not appear this morning.”

When Mu Zi Yan saw that Niangzi Lu suddenly mentioned Lan Xin Er, she asked suspiciously, “Sister Lu has thought of something”

“It’s not anything important, but just now when I entered the palace, I saw a carriage parked outside the palace, but it didn’t enter the palace, but left directly, and I heard that the one sitting inside was the second miss of the Blue family.” Niangzi Lu said in a low voice.

“She entered the palace but did not participate in the banquet and left in a hurry,” Mu Zi Yan felt that things are more and more confusing.

“Let’s not talk about this, this day you lost your footing and fell into the water, as well as later Zhang Yirong killed the matter, you have guessed the murderer,” Lv Niangzi also did not beat around the bush, but directly asked.

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to look at Mu Ling Xuan, then said, “Zhang Yirong was killed by County Lord Ming An.”

“Sheriff Mingan” Zhang Zong frowned even more tightly this time, “Why would she want to kill Zhang Yirong”

“Lord Zhang doesn’t know, my cousin only returned to the house a few days ago, and it was with County Lord Mingan that he entered the city.” Mu Zi Yan said in a low voice.

“What you mean is,” Zhang Zong now understood, his eyes sinking coldly, “it’s not hard to explain why that Wang Xian had that incense packet on him.”

“If it’s really him, then Zhang Yirong is the one who bumped into the two of them, and that’s what brought about the killing,” Niang Lu spoke from the side.

“Not so.” Mu Zi Yan said in a low voice, “At that meeting, it was someone who deliberately lured Su Qin Rou to the lotus pond, if it wasn’t for Hou Yi Yi and I arriving in time, I’m afraid Su Qin Rou would have already been drowned in the lotus pond.”

“What” Zhang Zong looked at Mu Zi Yan, “You guys didn’t lose your footing and fall into the water”

“No,” Mu Zi Yan said in a low voice, “I jumped down to the lotus pond to save Su Qin Rou, Hou Yi Yi stood on the bank and wanted to call for help, but was covered by someone from behind, and then knocked out on the ground.”

“Outrageous,” Zhang Zong roared as he rose up in anger.
