Chapter 111 – Zhong Xuan, who could not rise to the occasion (Second Shift) (2 / 2)

Mu Zi Yan looked at the girl and said, “It doesn’t matter, it’s just that Sister Su is not accustomed to eating hibiscus flavored pastries, just now she ate too quickly and choked a bit, now it’s much better, you tell mother that it’s not easy for her to take that pastry.”

“Yes.” The maid answered, then turned around and went back to Qi’s place.

Qi’s eyes moved slightly as she listened to the maid’s report, but she didn’t move as she chatted idly with the State Duke’s wife.

Su Qinrou after this incident, really did not have the mind to fool around, only thinking about who is in this pastry poisoned

Seeing her like this, Mu Zi Yan came forward and attached her ear and said, “Later, you’ll act like you’re dizzy and let the maid help you out.”

“En.” Su Qin Rou smiled and answered, looking from afar, the two seemed to be talking about themselves.

Mu Zi Yan winked at her, “Whether or not the fish takes the bait depends on whether or not this bait of yours is capable.”

“Sister Mu don’t worry.” Su Qin Rou smiled and answered, and the depression in her heart dissipated for the most part.

Hou Yi Yi was relieved to see her in a better mood, “It really came and went quickly.”

“Alright, let’s eat tea.” Su Qinrou said with a smile.

When Niangzi Lu saw Mu Zi Yan reveal a meaningful smile at her, she slowly withdrew her eyes, and the people at the table, who all seemed to be waiting for the moment when the big event would take place at the moment, looked especially excited.

Compared to the bustle of this place, not far from the sitting Zhong Xuan and Zhong Yu, Zhang Yihuan, Mu Zixi and Mu Zi Jing also became much cooler, relative speechless, each mind, not to mention like the old days of that kind of closeness.

Mu Zixi looked not far from Mu Ziyan and Su Qinruo group of people were talking and laughing, very lively, and then look at them in front of them, one by one with a frame, even the least polite are seemingly that cold, especially in the past day is still a little rowdy Zhang Yihuan, at this moment also become very silent.

Zhang Yihuan appeared diffident, and from time to time she dropped her gaze on Zhang Staffer’s body, her eyes flashing with an imperceptible touch of sadness.

Mu Zi Jing came close to Mu Zi Xi, “Second sister, how do you think the fifth prince hasn’t arrived yet this other princes can all be here.”

“I don’t know.” Mu Zixi had never seen Jun Qian Yu, and in her eyes, the most handsome man she had ever seen was the chapter Staffer.

Mu Zi Jing saw that she was so cold to herself, she couldn’t help but smile, “Is second sister still annoyed with me because of yesterday’s incident?”

“No.” Mu Zixi spoke faintly.

“Second sister, if I didn’t accompany you yesterday, those things would still be mine today.” Mu Zi Jing looked at Mu Zi Ruoxi and said, “I advise second sister to stop dreaming, you can’t compare to big sister.”

“Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking” Mu Zixi said in a deep voice, turning her eyes away unwilling to talk nonsense with her.

Mu Zi Jing let out a low laugh, but she didn’t care, anyway, this fifth prince she couldn’t climb up.

“Unexpectedly, a commoner’s daughter is even sitting in the same place as me.” Zhang Yihuan turned her eyes to the demonic-looking Zhong Xuan and coldly mocked.

Zhong Yu did not expect that Zhang Yihuan, who had been silent all this time, had snapped at this moment, and her eyes lit up as she said in a low voice, “If sister Yihuan is not willing to sit with second sister in one place, she may as well leave.”

“Looking at the tone of voice, I thought Second Miss was the real first daughter.” Zhang Yihuan said with a smile.

Zhong Yu’s eyes condensed, sort of being poked in the pain, she whispered, “Yihuan sister, this is the empress dowager’s birthday banquet, you can’t fool around.”

“This palace rules are numerous, the difference between the first and the concubine, how can a concubine girl and the first girl sitting in a place is not this bell two miss is a remarkable” Zhang Yihuan said coldly, but the voice is not small, immediately attracted the crowd of onlookers.

Zhong Yu stood up in a heated manner and looked at Zhang Yihuan coldly, “If you don’t want to, you can find another place.”

“Why should I leave I’m not the one who should leave.” Zhang Yihuan didn’t budge, turning her eyes to look at Mu ZiXi and Mu ZiJing, “Could it be that the two of you are also willing to take a seat with the commoner daughter, lowering your own status for nothing?”

“Third Miss Zhang has nothing to say.” Zhong Xuan slowly got up and responded softly, not the slightest bit aggrieved or angry, instead, she opened her lips with a calm expression, “It’s because I forgot the rules of the palace for a moment.”

She slowly turned around, head held high, walking very frankly, until she sat at the table of the concubine girl, the crowd did not feel that there was anything dishonorable about her being a concubine girl, and even the concubine girl at this table cast an approving glance at her.

“This Zhong family’s second young miss is a formidable one.” Mrs. Guo Gong looked at Zhong Xuan and said, “It’s a pity that, after all, a concubine’s daughter is a concubine’s daughter and can’t rise to the top.”

In the big family, the first daughter will always be the face of the family, the concubine daughter can do is to accompany, rather than the scenery than the first daughter, so that the first daughter is reduced to the green leaf, just now Zhong Xuan in and out of the degree, but completely stole the limelight of Zhong Yu.

Zhong Yu face cold and heavy, eyes flashed a touch of resentment, but the face is not different, but the path of the seat no longer speak.

Su Qinrou looked at the good show not far away and turned her eyes to Mu Zi Yan, “This Second Miss Zhong is doing it on purpose, right”

“What on purpose,” Mu Zi Yan asked with a smile.

“That’s so flamboyant.” Su Qinrou shook her head and said, “This is a deliberate attempt to bring Third Miss Zhong down.”

“That’s because, she sang with Zhang Yi Huan and caused her pain.” Mu Zi Yan smiles lightly and opens her lips, “But the thing that specifically causes her unhappiness, I am most happy about.”

Once Su Qinrou heard this, she nodded her head slightly, and in a flash of inspiration, she also understood the meaning of Mu Zi Yan’s words, and then instructed the maid at the side, “Go and call the second young miss to come.”

“Yes.” The maid answered, and then went to summon the Su family’s second young miss, Su Qinlan.

When Su Qinlan saw the maid come, she then got up and walked to Su Qinruo’s front, “Big sister, you called me”

“Second sister, I remember that you embroidered a new pattern yesterday, and I was just telling sister Mu that you are handy and came to show off.” Su Qin Rou looked at Su Qin Lan and said.

Su Qinlan’s eyes moved slightly, where do not understand the meaning of Su Qinruo’s words, this is through her to Zhong Xuan to find pain it, she lowered her voice and responded, “Big sister jokes, sister is just a flowery look, where can compare to sister embroidered good-looking, your birthday gift tonight, a hundred birthday map really really let sister can not look forward to it.”

Su Qin Rou looked at Su Qin Lan with a deep smile before nodding her head, “Second sister, you don’t have to tease me.”

“Big sister where are the words, sister can not dare to tease big sister, sister ah, as long as can have big sister half as good, sister will be satisfied.” Su Qinlan said with a smile.

“Alright, you girl, but just letting you take out the flower look you embroidered yesterday to show sister Mu, you conversely said so many words.” Su Qin Rou smiled extraordinarily brightly.

“Sister just happened to bring.” Su Qinlan said and took out the handkerchief from his sleeve, “I wanted to take it to big sister in the morning, big sister can like it.”

“Sister Mu, what do you think,” Su Qinrou asked as she handed her handkerchief to Mu Zi Yan.

“En, not bad.” Mu Zi Yan smiled and responded, “Second Miss Su is a lovable girl.”

“You and go play.” Su Qin Rou raised her eyes and handed Su Qin Lan a wink.

Su Qinlan nodded slightly, then turned around and went back to his seat.

This sharp-eyed people which can not see Su Qinru this move, the same as a concubine daughter, a noble as dust, suppressing the first daughter of the limelight, and the other, is to dare to be a green leaf, so that people look know, this sister affinity and friendship, this family is naturally very good.

Mrs. Marquis Su raised her eyebrows proudly, turned her eyes to Qi, “Miss Mu is a blessed, my girl ah, always greatly grinning inertia, now follow Miss Mu, but it is like a change of nature, look is more and more lovely.”

Qi’s face grew more and more radiant when she saw that Mrs. Marquis Su was praising her daughter, and she couldn’t stop smiling, “It’s still Miss Su who is smart and resourceful, and Mrs. Marquis Su will be a blessed one in the future.”

Mrs. Hou hastily echoed, “Still, Miss Mu is extremely good.”

Zhong Yu felt her face was hot and painful, being insulted by Zhong Xuan, and now also being ruthlessly mocked by Su Qinrou, her heart really did not feel good, and she could not wait to pounce forward to tear Su Qinrou’s mouth to pieces.

Su Qin Rou to know Zhong Yu is a confused, he is clearly to give her out of anger, but also caused her pain, when it is a thankless task.

On the contrary, Zhong Xuan was still sitting calmly, as if Su Qinruo’s words just now were nothing more than idle chit-chat and had nothing to do with her.

Mu Zi Yan, however, was able to tell from the strength of Zhong Xuan’s grip on the cup that she was afraid that she was already furious at the moment, and was still trying her best to hold back.

Seeing Zhong Xuan’s defeated appearance, Mu Zi Yan was in an exceptionally good mood, then she handed Su Qin Rou a look, Su Qin Rou then covered her head, her face a little white, “Aigoo”

Mrs. Marquis Su was chatting with Qi, and when she saw the appearance of Su Qinru covering her head and frowning not far away, she hurriedly got up anxiously and walked over, “What’s going on”

“Mother, there is some discomfort.” Su Qin Rou’s face showed a difficult color, “Maybe it’s because I ate a bad stomach.”

Mrs. Su Hou looked at her, “You girl, you are already prone to accumulating food, so don’t be more restrained.”

The corner of Su Qinru’s mouth turned away, “Mother, I have nothing to do, just take a walk.”

“You let the maid help walk to go.” Mrs. Marquis Su admonished.

“En.” Su Qinruo slowly got up, so she let her maid help her to go.

Mu Zi Yan looked at Lady Marquis Su and said, “Lady don’t worry, I’ll go walk with her.”

“Good.” Mrs. Marquis Su was naturally at ease with Mu Zi Yan, so she answered with a smile.

Mu Zi Yan got up and followed, and only then did Mrs. Marquis Su turn around and go back.

Zhong Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly as he saw Mu Zi Yan and Su Qin Rou leave, and he evoked a wicked smile.

Mu Zi Yan supported Su Qin Rou, and the two of them slowly walked towards the tunnel not far away.

Now it is not yet time, the empress dowager and the emperor has not yet arrived, although the prince has already taken his seat, all the ladies in the palace have not yet come, therefore, the people do not dare to make a fuss, can only wait here.

“Sister Mu, I’m a little thirsty.” Su Qinrou looked at Mu Ziyan and said softly.

“You wait.” Mu Zi Yan looked at the maid on the side and then at Su Qin Rou, “I’ll go and come.”

“En.” Su Qinruo nodded in response and sat down somewhat weakly.

“Miss.” Seeing this, the maid at the side was so frightened that she rushed to support her.

“I’m I’m fine.” Su Qinrou’s breath was also a bit unsteady.

The maid was really frightened, “Miss, the slave girl will go and call someone.”

“En.” Su Qinrou gently nodded her head, at this moment where there was still half a point of strength.

That girl hurriedly walked forward, leaving Su Qinruo alone leaning to the side, before she could react, a black shadow fell and knocked her out, carrying her as she flew away.

Mu Zi Yan naturally can’t keep up, well in advance to let the two maids follow into the palace, so now the two maids following her hurriedly flew to follow, leaving marks along the way.

Niangzi Lu followed, “How’s it going?”

“Go take a look.” Mu Zi Yan said and quietly walked forward following the mark.

When they reached the place and raised their eyes to see the palace in front of them, the two of them exchanged a glance, and then they waited for the two maids to fall back in front of her.

“Master.” The duo answered in a low voice, their faces wearing the human skin masks of Yun Xiang and Bi Yun.

“How is it,” Mu Zi Yan asked in a low voice.

“Eldest Miss Su was thrown into the palace, the slave girl brought the master in.” The maid lowered her voice and returned.

“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded her head and replied, and then the two maids led her to sneak into the palace with Niangzi Lu.

Su Qinrou was placed on the bed and couch inside, Mu Ziyan’s eyes narrowed slightly, as if she thought of something, and turned her eyes to look at Niangzi Lu, “It seems that what they put down is ecstasy.”

“It’s this kind of thing again,” Niangzi Lu knew about Mu Zi Yan’s last time she was put under the Harmony.

“She’s quite the one who can’t stop trying.” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes condensed, then she stepped forward, “Wake her up.”

“Yes.” The maid stepped forward and took out a porcelain vase from her bosom, placing it between Su Qinrou’s nostrils, before Su Qinrou turned awake.

Raising her eyes, she looked at Mu Zi Yan and then at the unfamiliar palace in front of her, “Where is this”

“This is the Sixth Prince’s palace.” Mu Zi Yan spoke faintly.

“Sixth prince” Su Qinrou looked at Mu Zi Yan in disbelief, “how could I be in the sixth prince’s palace what are they going to do”

She said as she hurriedly looked down to check her clothes and saw that they were intact.

“Wait.” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly, and then she pulled Su Qin Rou, and the group hurriedly hid.

When the palace door was opened, a figure was seen sneaking in, and it wasn’t someone else, it was none other than Zhang Yihuan who had just sneered at Zhong Xuan.

Su Qinrou looked at Mu Zi Yan in disbelief, what was she doing here?

Zhang Yihuan sneaked in, went straight to the bed, to see and no one, she could not help but wonder, “that drug under the light, or people did not send”

As soon as Su Qinrou heard this, a cold light erupted from her eyes, why did she want to harm herself

When Mu Zi Yan saw Zhang Yi Huan pondering, she suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside, “Sixth Highness, what’s wrong with you”

“Get lost,” Sixth Prince Jun Qian Yi was about to enter.

Zhang Yihuan is obviously not curious, but very calm to meet the front, Mu Ziyan see the situation, where there is not understand, signaling the side of the girl, the girl quickly flew down, pointing Zhang Yihuan acupuncture points, and then from the pocket took out a pill stuffed into the Zhang Yihuan’s mouth, quickly ripped the dress on her body, threw into the head of the bed couch, and then flashed away.

Jun Qian Yi faithfully walked in, face well with the color of excitement, to be stepped into the palace, through the gauze curtains, is also able to vaguely see that lying in the bed on the people, the corner of his mouth hooked up a touch of sinister smile, raised his steps and went up.

Su Qinrou hid in the shadows and stared angrily at Jun Qianyi, then she saw him lift up the bed and couch, and then unzipping his own robes, he burrowed in.

The two maids hurriedly led Mu Zi Yan and the girls out of the palace, and just as they came out, they heard a burst of screams coming from inside.

Su Qinrou grimaced, “Zhang Yihuan, I’m not done with you.”

“Alright, let’s hurry back.” Mu Zi Yan pulled Su Qin Rou’s hand, “I think someone has already broken in at this time.”

“Why would she want to harm me,” Su Qinruo asked in disbelief.

“Can’t you see” Mu Zi Yan held Su Qin Rou’s hand, and in an instant was taken away from that palace by the two maids, and now happened to land at the canal not far from the Yongle Palace.

Su Qin Rou’s maid also rushed over with her, “Eldest Miss, are you alright”

“I’m fine.” Su Qinrou got up and looked at her, “Let’s go back.”

“Yes.” The girl saw Mu Zi Yan standing aside, she just now also somehow, halfway to the surprisingly lost, worried about Su Qin Rou accident, so she re-rushed back.

Niangzi Lu had already gone back to take her seat by now, and when Hou Yi Yi saw her return, she asked in a low voice, “How did things go?”

“En.” Niangzi Lu smiled lightly at Hou Yi Yi, and the two of them were considered to have a heartfelt understanding.

At this time, the Empress Dowager was about to go to the Yongle Palace, but she heard a shriek from not far away, so she stopped the sedan chair and said in a deep voice, “What happened?”

“Something has happened to the Sixth Highness.” The palace maid who came to report said in a low voice.

“En” The Empress Dowager’s face is cold and heavy, thinking that this is her birthday banquet, dare someone to find bad luck.

“Empress Dowager, Sixth Highness was killed by Third Miss Zhang.” That palace maid returned in panic.

“What” the empress dowager at this moment where there is still half a point of joy, face grimly awesome, “do not hurry to see.”

“Yes.” The palace maid answered and then turned back to head to the Sixth Prince’s palace.

And at this moment this news had all reached the people who were waiting for the birthday banquet here, and they all got up, and they rushed towards the Sixth Prince’s palace.
