Chapter 113 – Siege of Marquis Mu’s Mansion (Second Shift) (1 / 2)

“Rui’er.” The emperor’s eyes lit up and he hurriedly got up, then he saw the palace maid behind him dropping her head and stepping forward, kneeling on the ground to hand the baby in her arms to the emperor.

“Alive,” the Emperor said in surprise, lifting his hands to hold the child in his arms.

“Your Majesty, the twelfth prince still has breath, it was the palace maid beside Lady Yun Fei who desperately carried out from within the pond, and happened to bump into the minister, which saved the twelfth prince’s life.” Kneeling in front of him was Consort Yun’s imperial physician, Dr. Zheng.

“I’ll see.” The Emperor hugged Jun Qian Rui, who was now quietly turning his dark eyes around, unaware that his life was almost on the line just now.

The emperor looked at this pair of pure or else any impurity eyes, smiling, “It’s good if it’s fine.”

“Your Majesty, with you protecting the Twelfth Highness, the Twelfth Highness has been blessed since.” Zhang Xi, the chief eunuch at the side, hurriedly responded.

The emperor is naturally happy to hear, turned his eyes to see the ghostly awakening of the cloud consort, and then half-sitting beside the bed, will be in the arms of the little baby milk handed to the cloud consort, “cloud, Rui’er good, unhindered.”

Concubine Yun first froze, when on the double clear eyes, tears of joy, this is a kind of lost and found the joy, hastily half-sitting then Jun Qianrui in his arms, tears.

The emperor naturally knows her mood at the moment, so he also let her, arm, Yun Fei leaned in his arms, and so after a while, Yun Fei slowed down.

“What the hell is going on here,” Concubine Yun said in a deep voice as her eyes condensed slightly.

“This matter I will definitely investigate clearly, who dares to murder the prince tonight.” The emperor angrily shouted, turned his eyes to the palace maid kneeling at the side, “But you saved the twelfth prince up”

“Back to the Emperor, it wasn’t the slave girl, it was Yue’er, it’s just that when she climbed up, she was covered in blood, and by the time she ran into Eunuch Zheng while carrying His Twelfth Highness, she had already swallowed her breath.” The palace maid kneeling on the ground reported in a low voice.

“Your Majesty, this matter must be thoroughly investigated, otherwise I’m afraid I won’t be able to sleep at night.” Concubine Yun said tearfully.

The emperor nodded, “Yun’er rest assured, with me here, who dares to be reckless”

“Emperor” Yun Fei see the emperor’s eyes condensed, she looked down at her arms have been sleeping sweet child, she did not ask for the other, only for the child to be able to grow up safely, if someone hurt him a little bit, she must let that person pain on a thousand times ten thousand times.

“Yun’er, you should rest well, I have my own opinion on this matter.” The emperor tried his best to soften his tone a lot when he faced Consort Yun.

Concubine Yun answered softly, and then she lay down on the bed, but carefully hugged Jun Qian Rui, not daring to let go.

The Empress Dowager at this moment where she has the heart to appreciate the song and dance, turning her eyes to see Zhang Xi come, her eyes slightly cold, “Yu’er ah, this matter is not simple.”

“Grandmother don’t worry, grandson understands.” Jun Qian Yu turned his eyes and handed over the tea with both hands, opening his mouth with a light smile.

“En.” When the Empress Dowager saw Jun Qian Yu this calm, she also took it with a smile.

Zhang Xi stepped forward and reported in a low voice, “Empress Dowager, Your Twelfth Highness is unharmed.”

“No matter” the empress dowager’s eyes moved slightly, for her grandson’s heart, the empress dowager in addition to Jun Qian Yu favoritism some, for the other royals is also considered equal.

“Exactly.” Zhang Xi then told the story, not forgetting to flatter, “Thanks to the Twelfth Highness having the Empress Dowager as your birthday girl to look after you, it’s considered to be a safe bet.”

The Empress Dowager raised her eyes to look at Zhang Xi, thinking that it would be good for these twelve to be alive, and said in a low voice, “Go.”

“Yes, slave servant excuses himself.” Zhang Xi answered and retreated.

The Empress Dowager turned her eyes to look at Jun Qian Yu, “This twelfth is a blessed one.”

“Grandmother, now you can rest assured.” Jun Qian Yu blooms a light smile and slowly rises, “Grandson will retire first.”

“Go.” The Empress Dowager nodded her head in response, and Jun Qian Yu got up and went back to her seat to settle down.

When Jun Qianhao saw him return, he whispered, “Did Fifth Brother get any news?”

Jun Qian Yu raised his cup and sipped lightly, turning his eyes gently towards Jun Qian Hao, “No.”

Jun Qian Hao saw that he answered dryly, so he didn’t ask any more questions, but instead looked towards the Crown Prince Jun Qian Che, who was not far away, and said slowly, “I’m afraid this night is not going to be peaceful.”

“Third Brother thought he knew something” Jun Qian Yu asked with a smile.

“I don’t know.” Jun Qianhao also responded indifferently.

Jun Qian Yu will also no longer ask more questions, only look at the not far from the high stage performance of the family lady, that look quite a few points of the idle clouds and wild cranes of the cozy, half squinting his eyes, seemingly if not to look at, however, the people who have the heart if the careful look, will know that he is now looking at not the people on the high stage, but the back of the scene.

Chapter Staffer rose slowly and handed Mu Zi Yan a look, she nodded slightly and rose slowly, lifting her steps to leave.

Zhong Yu just got down from the high platform, then saw Zhang Staffer and Mu Zi Yan two people come up together, her eyes flashed a flash of ghostly light, and then and Mu Zi Yan slightly salute.

The two are considered to meet the salute, Mu Zi Yan and Chapter Staffer dress this day is considered to be complementary, especially on the platform, like a picture, such as bamboo upright but elegant Chapter Staffer, such as the moon like water Mu Zi Yan, Chapter Staffer sitting on his knees, gently caressing the strings of the zither, and Mu Zi Yan is leaning against the side of the jade pillars, the full moon is high in the sky, coincidentally reflecting on the beautiful and gentle face, through the slightest hint of haze of the coolness.

Staff report seems to be sprinkled with silver light, from a distance, handsome and elegant, if we put aside the amazing posture of Jun Qian Yu, just put your eyes on the two people on the platform, the qin and xiao and singing, the man and the woman, the crowd can not help but sigh, when it really is a perfect match!

Chapter Marquis wife looked from afar, quite proud, I have to say, Mu Zi Yan is undoubtedly the most outstanding one of the many families of young ladies, regardless of status, as well as the beauty of this talent, to deal with people, are the top, such a woman of the spirit of Yuxiu, is not to be missed, and the chapter Marquis wife because of such a good son, since it is complacent.

The sound of the piano, perhaps should be the scene, the surrounding instantly quiet, only to a light wind blowing, behind the platform blew a piece of magnolia petals, scattered with the wind, with his piano sound leisurely Yang Yang, Mu Zi Yan timely ensemble, the evening breeze, light white petals followed by fluttering, the woman in the painting of the beautiful and touching, that man is handsome and elegant, that the qin xiao sound echoed throughout the Palace of Eternal Happiness, the silken twining, the Listen to the intoxication.

The crowd listened to the infatuation, than that day she played in their own birthdays but also beautiful, this is another feeling, not like that night’s unrestrained joy, but now like to tell a moving story, the carefree young girl, after the wedding like glue, beauty after the late self-hatred, until the final demise of the incense, but all the way to the woman’s life of bitterness and bitterness.

The song is over, the song is over, but the surrounding is still silent, there are moved to tears, there are sentimental feelings, Mu Ziyan put away the jade xiao, downcast eyes look at the chapter Staffer, the two get up, together with the salute towards the crowd, and then turned to fall on the stage.

Staffer felt that he was afraid that this was the only time in his life that he would have the opportunity to play a song as stirring as this with her, and he was thrilled, but for some reason, it was tinged with a tinge of sadness.

Mu Zi Yan saw Zhang Staffer holding the zither and standing still, she was slightly stunned, “Cousin Zhang, what’s wrong”

“Cousin Zi Yan, how about we play this song again in ten years,” Staffer asked in a soft voice, not wanting to be cut off from her like this.

“Good.” Mu Zi Yan responded cheerfully.

Staffer hooked his lips into a smile that was overflowing with tenderness as he stepped forward to her, “I’ll remember.”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan smiled and answered, raising her hand, “High five as a vow.”

“Good.” Staffer saw that she had such a behavior, so she also forgot about the difference between men and women, and then raised his hand, “Pa”, double palms down, and the two of them looked at each other and laughed.

When she turned around, she saw Qi Xuan standing not far from her, looking at her, and she and the Chapter Staffer duo smiled as they stepped forward, “Cousin.”

“Cousin, do you remember promising me something” Qi Xuan said as he looked at her.

“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded and answered.

“It seems that you have an agreement with Brother Zhang as well.” Qi Xuan raised his eyes to look at Zhang Staffer and said in a warm voice.

“Cousin, I have something to ask.” Mu Zi Yan said and walked forward with him.

Qi Xuan see her for his words just now do not care, and look to the chapter Featured at the moment is full of joy to follow, he looked at her sideways, helplessly sighed, I do not know whether this girl is really do not know, or in the pretense of stupidity!

Mu Zi Yan went on to say, “The twelfth prince was assassinated, and now although he is unharmed, the emperor will surely investigate this matter thoroughly, and I am now worried that someone will use this matter to assassinate the Duke of State’s House, cousin, this night you have to be more careful.”

“Good.” Qi Xuan nodded his head and replied, the reason why he had come was also because he had gotten the news just now.

“Cousin, and keep an eye on Mu Ling Rui, he’s afraid that he’s not at peace.” Mu Zi Yan didn’t know how much Mu Ling Rui was involved, but she was clear that if he wanted to get ahead, he would definitely have to rely on County Lord Ming An.

Waiting for the three of them to take their respective seats, Jun Qian Yu’s gaze but always fell on her body, thoughts also turned a hundred times, only to wait until the Empress Dowager smiled and said, “This tune is chic, reward.”

“Yes.” The palace maid on the side answered.

Mu Zi Yan then stepped forward and saluted, “My daughter thanks the Empress Dowager for her grace.”

“Come up here and let the mourning family take a look.” The Empress Dowager said lovingly.

“Yes, Empress Dowager.” Mu Zi Yan slowly got up, hung her head and marched to the Empress Dowager’s front, slightly blessing her.

The Empress Dowager looked at Mu Zi Yan, the more she looked the more she liked, turned her eyes to look at Jun Qian Yu, then smiled and opened her mouth, “Yu’er can not be less in front of the grieving family mentioned you this girl, look, in the blink of an eye, will become a big girl.”

Mu Zi Yan secretly pondered the Empress Dowager’s words in her heart and secretly screamed that it was not good, while all the people were holding their breath at the moment, knowing that the Empress Dowager had said so, fearing that the marriage would be bestowed.

Just at the critical moment, someone interrupted the Empress Dowager, “Empress Dowager, the Emperor has been assassinated.”

“What” the empress dowager was about to open her mouth to give the marriage, but she heard this kind of news, suddenly her brows knit tightly, and said in a deep voice, “Go, go and see.”

“Yes.” Zhang Xi answered and hastily then retreated to the side.

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes and glanced at Zhang Xi, thinking that this matter was too coincidental, but she couldn’t think too much about it, she just stood in place with her eyes downcast and only waited until the empress dowager led Consort Hui to leave in a hurry.

The crowd hadn’t even realized what was going on.

Mu Zi Yan slowly got up, and then retreated to her seat.

A coldness flashed across her face as she raised her eyes to look at Zhong Xuan, who was not far away, and saw that Zhong Xuan was currently looking at her with a smile on her face.

Mu Zi Yan’s eyes crossed a ghostly light, turned his eyes to look at Su Qin Rou and Hou Yi Yi, and then seemed to think of something, now this time, she can not act rashly, Zhong Xuan is anxious for her to intervene, so that she pushed the trap that had been laid a long time ago.

It was just that if she didn’t intervene, she would force herself to do so, what a powerful tactic, Mu Zi Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly as she fell into deep thought.

Seeing her like this, Jun Qian Yu slowly got up, ignoring the gazes of the crowd, walked forward, stood in front of her, yanked her up from her chair, and left in the midst of the crowd’s dismayed gazes.

“Let go.” After Mu Zi Yan reacted, she hastily pulled her arm out of his hand.

“Who are you going to deal with,” Jun Qian Yu asked bluntly.

“It’s not that I’m going to deal with anyone, but someone wants to put me to death.” Seeing him like this, Mu Zi Yan didn’t hide it and frankly replied.

“Then who wants to put you to death” Jun Qian Yu continued to ask.

“I don’t know.” Mu Zi Yan shook her head, “A lot.”

“You are rather inviting.” Jun Qian Yu’s words sounded quite meaningful.

Mu Zi Yan had no intention of playing smart with him now, and then said, “You dragged me out just for this”

“Father was assassinated, who do you think did it” Jun Qian Yu asked softly, the two of them were standing in a hidden place at the moment, even if someone peeped in, they could only see his coat.

Mu Zi Yan thought carefully, “It’s hard to say, it depends on what that person’s purpose is”

Mu Zi Yan in the past life this time in the family temple, so what is the movement outside, she is not aware of, and so she came out, all the things have been settled, and she is just along with others early on set the chess game to walk, until to the end of life.

Mu Zi Yan would not be at the mercy of anyone in this life, she had not thought of a way to fight back now, she raised her eyes and looked at Jun Qian Yu with an indescribable feeling, she moved a little closer and tilted her head to stare at him carefully.

Jun Qian Yu had never been stared at by her like this, for a moment he was a little uncomfortable, slightly turning his eyes, leaving her with a sideways glance, and said in a low voice, “What is Smokey staring at me for?”

Mu Zi Yan saw that he would actually be shy as well, and couldn’t help but feel a bit amused, “When you were all over the city telling people how I would treat you, you didn’t see you as thin-skinned as this”

Jun Qian Yu dryly coughed a few times before saying, “I’m not nowadays it’s time to poke fun at me”

“Go ahead.” Mu Zi Yan spoke faintly.

“What did I say” Jun Qian Yu was a little helpless by her such a penetrating mind, how come she knew that I had something to say to her?

“If you have nothing to say, I will leave, I don’t have the time to chat with you here.” Mu Zi Yan said and raised her hand to push him away, lifting her steps to walk outside.

“Smokey, leave this matter to me.” Jun Qian Yu could have solved the problem himself and claimed credit from her, but he knew very well that if he did so, the girl in front of him would definitely not care about him anymore.

“Fifth Highness, there is no need for you to meddle in my affairs.” Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to look at him and said in a deep voice, “If there is nothing else, my daughter will leave first.”

“There’s no need to say it in such a desperate manner.” Although Jun Qian Yu knew that she would refuse, he did not expect her tone to be this tough.

When Mu Zi Yan saw him let out this sigh of relief, he was slightly stunned and suddenly laughed, muttering, “I really don’t know how you were counted at that time”

“What,” Jun Qian Yu asked in confusion as he hurriedly followed.

“It’s nothing.” Mu Zi Yan resumed her seat, ushering in quite a few gazes.

Mu Zi Yan didn’t care, but looked at Su Qin Rou and Hou Yi Yi and said, “Don’t be alarmed by what happens later.”

“Eh.” The two nodded, thinking that things were more serious than they thought.

Qi Xue’er and Qi Yu’er were naturally unaware of the situation, and now looked at Mu Zi Yan with suspicion, but did not know what they were worried about.

Niangzi Lu came forward, “The Emperor has declared that Senior Zhang has gone over.”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded, then said, “The good show has begun.”

“I say Smokey, this odor is so unusual, who exactly is the person behind that dealing with” Niang Lu asked in disbelief.

“A thorn in the side.” Mu Zi Yan continued, “Whether it’s in the palace or outside the palace.”

“The appetite is not small.” Lady Lu snorted coldly.

“Since she was able to do so, she must have planned it thoroughly, and even if she doesn’t succeed, she can still retreat in one piece.” Mu Zi Yan had a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, her remaining light looking towards Zhong Xuan who was not far away.

The empress dowager rushed to the bedchamber, Yunfei cried red eyes, holding Jun Qianrui kneeling aside, Zheng eunuch just bandaged the emperor’s wounds, his arm was hit by a knife, the emperor saw Yunfei kneeling on the ground in sadness and tears, he lifted his hand to help her up, “Well, this matter has nothing to do with you, if you continue to cry, crying pregnant body, I am going to be heartbroken.”

“Your Majesty, it’s my concubine’s fault.” Concubine Yun rose in obedience to the emperor’s hand, cupping a silk handkerchief and gently wiping the beads of sweat from the corners of his forehead.

Seeing that Consort Yun was so thoughtful, the Emperor whispered, “You take good care of Rui’er.”

“Yes.” Concubine Yun answered, and then quietly stood aside.

When the Empress Dowager saw that the Emperor favored Consort Yun in this way, her eyes sank slightly and she raised her steps forward, “What exactly happened?”

“Mother.” The Emperor then got up, and Concubine Yun hurriedly got up and handed Jun Qian Rui to the palace maid on the side, while supporting the Emperor.

“Where is the assassin,” the Empress Dowager asked in a cold voice.

“Escaped.” The emperor said in a deep voice, “Mother, but hit a knife, not in the way, today is your birthday banquet.”

“Hmph, birthday banquet mourners this birthday banquet is really lively, first died a grandson, the other also almost, now can be good, even the emperor you also injured, this kind of birthday banquet but also to stop.” The Empress Dowager’s eyes condensed, coldly swept aside Consort Yun, and then saw Consort Hui standing beside herself.

Thinking of the just now Mu Zi Yan and Zhang Staffer that zither and xiao song, seems to think of the picture after he entered the palace, this moment, the heart is difficult to calm down, the reason why she hates Consort Yun, only because Consort Yun is too similar to her beloved sister, the same kind of fox charming.

Concubine Yun knew that the Empress Dowager disliked her, so when she faced the Empress Dowager, she just lowered her eyes and kept quiet, as long as the Emperor was there, she would be fine.

Princess Hui in the follow in, see the emperor on the cloud princess that gentle doting, even with that tone is like that soft, want her into the palace over the years, in the eyes of outsiders, the emperor on her very good, the favor does not fail, but, such as people drink water warm and cold, I am afraid that only she knows the taste of the middle.

She was just one of his many women, but he had given her tenderness instead of giving it to her, how could she not hate her?

The Empress Dowager gently patted the back of Consort Hui’s hand and said in a low voice, “This matter was handed over to Jingzhao Yin to investigate.”

“Mother don’t worry.” The emperor said, “This matter child decree, let the Beijing Zhaoyin thoroughly investigate.”

“En.” The empress dowager whispered, “this day is also regarded as enjoyable, mourning family lack of, outside will let the dispersal of it.”

“Yes.” The Emperor stepped forward, “Child sends Mother back to the palace.”

“No.” The Empress Dowager whispered, “Consort Hui will send me to the mourning family, you should take care of the dragon body.”

“It is the child who has caused the mother to worry.” The emperor also did not expect, tonight is the empress dowager’s birthday banquet, but also provoked so much pain, his eyes low overflowed with ghostly light, such as the empress dowager left, turned to look at Yun Fei, “Tonight, I will accompany you.”

“Your Majesty.” Concubine Yun was moved to look at the Emperor and carefully helped him sit down.

Since the Empress Dowager left, she did not return, only let Zhang Xi come, the people also dispersed, Mu Zi Yan was about to leave, then saw Zhang Zong walked over.

“Senior Zhang.” Mu Zi Yan slightly bowed.
