Chapter 093 – Brother Dragged Down (Second Shift) (1 / 2)

“Smoke is not believe me” Chu Ye raised his eyes to look at him quietly, the light of the eyes is extremely light and light, as if a breeze on the face, without realizing it will be able to seduce the soul.

Mu Zi Yan slightly narrowed her eyes, her heart once again sighed darkly, “Demon ah really demon.”

Chu Ye saw Mu Zi Yan like this, but he was not in a hurry and waited patiently.

Mu Zi Yan, however, was thinking about how she could leave, she didn’t want to stay with Chu Ye, it was too dangerous.

“Senior Uncle, disciple has been out for a while, since Master is not here, then disciple will return to the residence first.” Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes and said to Chu Ye.

Seeing how reluctant she was, Chu Ye slowly got up and walked towards the house, lightly opening his lips, “Smokey must understand that if she fails to pass the competition with me, she will not be able to leave the division.”

Mu Zi Yan secretly cried out in bitterness, she naturally knew that, and also knew that Chu Ye’s medical skills were outstanding, however, being in a piece with a demon, it would be better for her to wait for her master to come and teach her.

Chu Ye saw that she was not moved, and asked, “Is he not charming enough?

Mu Zi Yan saw his back like a fairy, gritted her teeth, too beautiful man toxic, she will be eleven in a few days, but her heart is a thousand times more mature than her age, for the Chu Ye in front of her, she is still better to retreat, she does not want to step on the dust of her previous life.

She slightly blessed herself, “Don’t worry, senior uncle, disciple will definitely strive to leave the division.”

When he had said that, before Chu Ye could say anything, he turned around and left with his feet on the ground.

Chu Ye slowly turned around, his hands wrapped around his chest, leaning against the door, watching that thin figure windily leave, he held his forehead and looked at the sky, that handsome and peerless face was covered by the mask, that snow-white neck raised up a graceful arc, further lining that alabaster mask was brimming with gorgeous light, letting people not move their eyes.

Ming Jing carefully stood aside, not understanding why the master specifically ran over, sent the senior uncle back to the Divine Healer Sect, and then stayed here waiting for a long time, but now he understood, the original master was for the sake of Sister Mu.

Mu Zi Yan of course does not know the reason for this, if she knew, I am afraid that she would hide farther away, being targeted by a demon is like being targeted by a fox, she can still want to finish this life properly, she can not lose her life early.

After she stepped out of the Marquis Mu Mansion and sat in the carriage, only then did she let out a complete sigh of relief, and then leaned back on the soft pillows, “When we come to the Duke of State’s Mansion in the future, we must first find out whether or not the Master is in the Mansion.”

“Yes.” Yunxiang nodded her head and answered, but she did not understand why the eldest young lady was so afraid of Duke Chu.

Bi Yun handed Yun Xiang a look, “That goes without saying, it’s because Duke Chu is absolutely gorgeous and unrivaled in the world, and Missy is afraid of being mesmerized by Duke Chu’s poise.”

Yunxiang a corner of the mouth, obviously does not agree with what Biyun said, in her opinion, Miss is now deep minded, but for men and women on the love, Miss is always avoiding, seems to be intentional to avoid, and how will be fascinated by the Chu Gongzi it

Biyun floated up to herself, and couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Mu Zi Yan slowly opened her eyes, just in time to bump into Bi Yun’s smiling, narrowed eyes, “It seems like you’re idle.”

Bi Yun hastily put away her laughter and shrunk her neck, “Eldest Miss, the slave girl just thinks that Duke Chu is as beautiful as an immortal and has an outstanding character, and the only one in this world who can match you is Duke Chu.”

Mu Zi Yan’s eyes were slightly cold, “Just this once, if you mention today’s words again in the future, I will sell you out.”

“Eldest Miss, the slave girl will never dare again.” Bi Yun screamed in agony and hurriedly knelt down and said.

“You are not allowed to think in your heart either.” Mu Zi Yan warned once again.

“Yes, slave girl knows her mistake, slave girl will only be deaf and blind in the future, not saying that she doesn’t want to.” Bi Yun quickly raised her hand and swore.

Yunxiang saw Bi Yun like this, but also just faintly drooped her eyes, it seems that the eldest miss really avoided the affairs of men and women like snakes and scorpions.

When she returned to the Mu Marquis’ residence, Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes and looked at Lu Zhong who greeted her, “Eldest Miss, the palace sent word that the Empress Dowager wants to see you.”

“Empress Dowager,” Mu Zi Yan thought, it’s only been a day, the Empress Dowager is so eager to announce her, and what is her intention?

Seeing that her face was slightly sullen, Lu Zhong carefully said, “Eldest Miss, the people in the palace are waiting.”

Mu Zi Yan faintly opened her lips, “Got it, I’ll go in and get ready.”

“Yes.” Lu Zhong didn’t dare to delay, so he followed Mu Zi Yan into the mansion.

When Mu Zi Yan returned to the Smoke Fall Courtyard, she saw Mu Zi Ruoxi standing blearily outside the courtyard door, and when she saw Mu Zi Yan coming, she hurriedly went forward and saluted with a smile, “Big sister.”

“Second sister this is” Mu Zi Yan saw her dressed very elegantly, look at that makeup, is also carefully made up, she is roughly guessed Mu Zi Ruoxi’s mind.

“Big sister, I heard that the Empress Dowager declared you to enter the palace, big sister can bring my sister to go with it” Mu Zixi also got the old lady’s order, this is specially dressed up after, specially in this place waiting, her heart is apprehensive, this is a wonderful opportunity, she can not miss it, but she is worried that Mu Zi Yan will not take her to go.

Mu Zi Yan saw her like this and was not able to win, but she knew that people are valuable to have self-knowledge, knowing that she had shown great distaste for her, and, what the second house had done to the big house, how could she still come over so brazenly

Mu Zi Yan’s eyes condensed as she looked straight at her, then said in a deep voice, “Second sister, your body is weak, you can’t withstand the strain of traveling, it’s better to go back and rest, in a few days there will be a new courtyard, and you and I sisters will have fewer opportunities to see each other.”

Mu Zi Ruoxi’s body trembled as she raised her eyes to cry, but she met Mu Zi Yan’s warning eyes and she could only swallow her tears before lowering her eyes, “Sister excuses herself.”

Mu Zi Yan ignored her, but directly entered the house, and after re-dressing, she went out of the courtyard, and went to the palace along with the people from the palace.

Mu Zi Ruoxi went back to Yuexi Yuan in a rage, Mu Zi Yan’s words just now undoubtedly made her lose face, she didn’t expect Mu Zi Yan to do so decisively, then, don’t blame her for being hard-hearted.

“Second Miss, Eldest Miss is probably still angry with you.” Cailian said carefully from the side.

“Hmph, I’ll see how much longer she can be complacent.” Mu Zixi’s eyes narrowed slightly, and at this point, there was no trace of weakness.

Mu Ziyan sat in the carriage, wondering about the Empress Dowager’s intentions, what kind of deal existed between the Old Lady and the Empress Dowager, and that Mu Qingran was not the Old Lady’s biological son, so Mu Qingran was not a member of the Mu family.

Who is the old lady and what is she up to?

“What is Zhong Xuan doing,” Mu Zi Yan asked as she looked at Yun Xiang.

“Received a board and is still lying down today.” Yunxiang whispered back.

“The Zhong family can’t be so silent, Zhong Xuan will definitely think of ways to get rid of me.” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly, one can not understand the empress dowager’s mind, two, this harem is weird and changeable, if she is too close to the empress dowager, is bound to be involved in the harem fight, she is now single and thin, for no reason to be utilized, this is not a good sign.

She took a deep breath, and then said, “Look around carefully later, but be alert to any hint of the ground.”

“Yes.” Yunxiang and Bi Yun listened to Mu Zi Yan’s tone, of the two of them looked at each other, and hastily responded, thinking that this time into the palace, afraid that something big will happen.

Mu Zi Yan also didn’t want to take things too seriously, but she knew very well that if she wasn’t careful, she would probably be reduced to a randomly trampled pawn.

To enter the palace gate, Mu Zi Yan slowly got off the carriage, and then entered the palace, and then took the sedan chair to the Empress Dowager’s Yongshou Palace, and after entering the bedchamber, the Empress Dowager was already waiting for her.

“My daughter sees the empress dowager, all hail the empress dowager,” Mu Zi Yan performed the bowing salute unhurriedly.

The Empress Dowager nodded lovingly, “Rise.”

“Thank you Empress Dowager.” Mu Zi Yan slowly got up, so she also stood in place in a disciplined manner.

The Empress Dowager said with a smile, “You girl, seeing the mourning family is so raw.”

Mu Zi Yan lowered her eyes and said, “My daughter is just a little shy.”

“So it is.” The empress dowager got up, assisted by her grandmother, slowly marched to her front, warmly held her hand, carefully measured some, “So long mentioning Princess Hui often mention you, said you ah is a blessed, can be loved, and now look is very good.”

Mu Zi Yan listened to this but there was something in the words, raising her eyes to look at the Empress Dowager, “Concubine Hui has praised you too much.”

The Empress Dowager held her hand and went out of the palace together, slowly descending down the jade steps, and in a short while, she was walking outward along the Yongshou Palace.

Mu Zi Yan does not know what the Empress Dowager is actually thinking, but now also dare not think wildly, just follow the Empress Dowager walking slowly, carefully weighing the meaning of each of her words.

“Smoke girl almost eleven, right,” the Empress Dowager looked at her kindly, seemingly casually asked.

“Once the eighth day after tomorrow is over, it will be eleven.” Mu Zi Yan truthfully returned.

“Then in two more years, Smoke Maiden should also reach maturity.” The Empress Dowager mused for a moment, “I don’t know which male could be a good match for Smoke Maiden.”

Mu Zi Yan eyes slightly converged, the two have just entered the Imperial Garden, will see a line of people walking from afar, walking in the forefront is not seen for a long time the Prince, since that day was almost killed in the past half a month, he was able to in a short period of time will be able to move freely, Mu Zi Yan know, this is most likely to be the Chu Ye’s credit.

When she saw the Crown Prince, her eyes crossed a flash of ghostly light, but on her face, she acted calmly.

The Empress Dowager had been observing her movements since the beginning, not sparing any details of the ground, and then she nodded her head in satisfaction.

Prince followed by is Zhong Xian, these days look not very good, after all, Zhong family one after another things happen, Zhong Xian can not be indifferent, and Mu Zi Yan know, he is very clear, but know is wrong, but still do not go to stop, let things develop to the point of no return.

Zhong Xian saw Mu Zi Yan again, but there is a sense of time has changed, remember that day in the Princess Hui provincial relatives meet, Mu family and Zhong family, since a peaceful, but now it is already things are not the same.

Zhong Xian didn’t know how to face Mu Zi Yan, and in his heart, he felt guilty about her, and just felt as if he owed her his whole life.

Crown Prince Jun Qian Che looked at Mu Zi Yan standing in the distance, her figure was a bit taller than women of the same age, slender and soft, and her tender cheeks seemed to be gradually opening up, which seemed to be different than what she had seen before.

His eyes flashed with a ghostly light, and a smile played at the corners of his mouth as he lifted his steps forward.

After standing still, he also bowed respectfully towards the empress dowager, “Grandson see the empress dowager.”

“I greet the Empress Dowager.” Zhong Xian followed suit and saluted.

Mu Zi Yan bowed towards the Crown Prince, “My daughter has met Your Highness the Crown Prince.”

“Miss Mu, please rise.” Jun Qian Che also spoke affably.

“How could Ch’er be here?” the Empress Dowager asked as she saw Jun Qian Che come out of the Imperial Garden.

“Father is in the garden, and grandson has also been given an errand.” Jun Qian Che returned with a light smile, now Jun Qian Che has twenty, straight posture, handsome face, plus the body exudes a son of heaven’s temperament, undoubtedly is at the right time to be spirited, it seems that the battle did not leave any disheveled look on his body, between his brows and eyes is still difficult to hide that noble temperament.

“His Majesty is also here, but it’s because I am not well thought out.” The empress dowager did not expect the emperor to be in the imperial garden, turned her eyes to look at Mu Zi Yan and spoke with a smile, “Since the emperor is here to deliberate, girl smoke will go to the side with this palace.”

“Yes.” Mu Zi Yan had not guessed what exactly the Empress Dowager had in mind now, so she had no choice but to patiently accompany her.

The crown prince saw Mu Zi Yan so, at this moment, thinking of the Marquis Mu, and thinking of the state government up and down on Mu Zi Yan’s favor, his heart naturally had some calculations, and then smiled and opened his mouth, “Grandchildren have also not accompanied grandmother to say a few words for a long time.”

“You this child, also know that some days do not come to see the family,” the empress dowager scolded.

Jun Qian Che hurriedly bowed, “It’s Sun Er’s fault.”

The Empress Dowager laughed lowly and turned her eyes to Zhong Xian, who was silent, and then laughed and said, “Brother Xian has lost some weight in the past few days.”

Because of Fei Huifei, the Empress Dowager Zhong Xian is close to some, so also with Fei Huifei called him Xian brother, which is the Empress Dowager’s honor, Zhong Xian is flattered to accept.

“Thank you Empress Dowager for your concern, I am unharmed.” Zhong Xian hurriedly returned with downcast eyes.

Mu Zi Yan looked at today’s Zhong Xian, always overlapping him in his previous life, when Zhong Xian, compared to today’s him, always a few points less melancholy, perhaps in his previous life he had not suffered premature tribulation.

She for Zhong Xian’s mood is complex, if there is no previous life of that matter, perhaps, she never would have such a deep memory of this person, and never understood, the original, there is a person, can for you to do that kind of point, but ultimately but can not withstand Zhong Xuan’s calculations.

After all, her heart could not be calm, even though a thousand years had passed, but whenever she remembered the people and events of her past life, she was always able to evoke the evil in her heart.

She turned her eyes to look at the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager in her previous life, never involved in the affairs of the court, and then Lin’an County Princess finally did not live past the age of twenty, and since then the death of the jade, Princess Yuehua heartbroken, and has not stepped out of the Princess House, and the Empress Dowager Lin’an County Princess and Princess Yuehua is extremely favored, and then suffered a number of things after the heart is also like a lamp extinguished, one heart to Buddha, and has not gone out of the Palace of Eternal Life, until later, the third Prince Jun Qianhao ascended the throne, Zhong Xuan became Empress, and Leng Hanfeng is the king of a different surname. The third prince Jun Qianhao ascended the throne, Zhong Xuan became the queen, and Leng Hanfeng was named king of a different name, the empress dowager was also in Jun Qianhao ascended the throne in March after the death of the prince.

People who seemed to be unrelated and appeared extremely calm in their previous life, but in this life, gradually approached her, and, it made her feel that none of them seemed to be simple, for example, Chu Ye, that person who had never appeared in his previous life, was now active in front of her.

The Empress Dowager, for example, has never been so kind to herself.

She felt that her memories of her previous life were crippled, simply because, with her death, she wandered behind and had a very muddy time, but did not see exactly what had become of the Amazing Kingdom after her death.

She secretly sighed, perhaps this is the creation, she used a thousand years of loneliness in exchange for a life of rebirth, since I do not know what happens after death, and why bother to cling to those memories with the previous life it is not if you live this life well, it is not in vain that she re-lived a life.

Mu Zi Yan retrieved her thoughts and turned around with the Empress Dowager and folded back into the Yongshou Palace, Jun Qian Che and Zhong Xian were following behind her.

Just arrived at the Yongshou Palace, will see the Hui Fei is waiting outside the hall, see the empress dowager come back, hastily went forward to win to, “Concubines see the empress dowager.”

“When did you come,” asked the Empress Dowager in a warm voice, her attitude towards Consort Hui seemed very cordial.

Mu Zi Yan looked at Concubine Hui, her appearance is gorgeous, today’s age is the best time of the year, if Concubine Hui was in that world, she would definitely become a queen-like figure.

She slightly blessed herself, “Your servant daughter sees Auntie Hui.”

“So it’s Smoke Girl.” Consort Hui looked at Mu Zi Yan, and there was also gentleness between her brows.

For Mu Zi Yan in this life, she broke the old madam’s and Zhong Xuan’s calculations and allowed the big house to survive a catastrophe, which then meant that a lot of things were going to change with this one change.

This was true for her, for Zhong Xuan, and for those who had entangled themselves with her in their past lives.

When the Empress Dowager saw the affinity that Consort Hui showed towards Mu Zi Yan, she then laughed and said, “Smoke girl, it’s getting late, so you can go back.”

“Yes, subject daughter excuses herself.” Mu Zi Yan did not expect the Empress Dowager to dismiss her with a few sentences of idle chatter like this.

Her heart was filled with doubts, but she couldn’t show half of it, instead, she saluted without any hesitation, turned around and left with the palace maid.

Jun Qian Che had agreed to accompany the Empress Dowager, so he could not leave at this time, he turned his eyes to Zhong Xian, “You and escort Miss Mu back to her residence.”

“Yes.” Zhong Xian was clearly a bit surprised, but when he raised his eyes to see the look that Princess Hui handed him, he nodded slightly and turned to leave together as well.

The Empress Dowager glanced at Zhong Xian and Mu Zi Yan’s departing backs, her smile deepening, and then she returned to Yongshou Palace with Concubine Hui and Jun Qian Che.

Mu Zi Yan had just taken a few steps when she heard someone following behind her, she stopped and turned slightly, and when she saw Zhong Xian, her eyes flashed with a flash of ghostly light before she said in a low voice, “Zhong Shizi.”

“Ms. Mu, let me give you a ride.” Zhong Xian looked at Mu Zi Yan, his tone carrying a few moments of ground begging.

“Good.” Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to meet his eyes, she wanted to refuse, but she always remembered the picture of his departure in her previous life, she owed him after all.

Jonghyun expected her to scowl at him and then flatly refuse, but he didn’t expect her to say yes.

Mu Zi Yan and he walked in the tunnel, now in the late afternoon, although the sun is hot, but it is blowing a slight breeze, dispersing a piece of heat, he walked beside her, the two did not say a word.

Until they were out of the palace gate, Mu Zi Yan stood in front of him and raised her eyes to look at him, “Zhong Shizi, the Zhong family’s love affair with the Mu family has been severed, and the same is true between you and me.”

She understood that in this life she could not let him follow in the footsteps of his previous life, therefore, it was only best to snuff out all his hopes at this time, she said indifferently and turned around indifferently to get on the carriage.

The carriage drove slowly, farther and farther away, Zhong Xian stood in front of the palace gate froze for a long time, I do not know how long, he gradually came back to his senses, it turned out that she knew the

Zhong Xian, with a miserable face, rolled onto his horse and galloped away furiously.

Mu Zi Yan sat in the carriage, her heart was a little irritated, the Empress Dowager called her into the palace exactly why

“Eldest Miss, the old madam has left the mansion.” Seeing Mu Zi Yan’s face cold and heavy, Yun Xiang carefully reported.

“Out of the house,” Mu Zi Yan only then came back to his senses, “the old lady can rarely go out of the house, this day out of the house is what day”

“There is no special day today, the old madam went to Yun Ying Temple.” Yunyin said in a low voice.
