Chapter 114 – Consort Hui’s Death and Zhong Xuan’s First Showdown (2 / 2)

“This,” Zhang Xi hesitated a bit.

“Well, you and tell me.” The Emperor said in a deep voice.

Zhang Xi received the golden hairpin with both hands, and then with a gentle twist, the hairpin was split into two halves, and the hairpin pole was surprisingly hollow.

When Mu Zi Yan saw this, her eyes flashed with a touch of surprise, “Your Majesty, my daughter did not know that this gold hairpin would”

Rao is the empress dowager saw, eyes also followed narrowed a bit, “this gold hairpin really from the hands of Princess Hui”

“This reward to all the palace ladies of the goods are to be registered, this gold hairpin is quite expensive, there are only two, a His Majesty specially ordered the old slave to the Empress Dowager, the other is rewarded to the Princess Huifei.” Zhang Xi reported truthfully, and then said, “just this hairpin, the old slave is just to try, did not expect this really can be separated.”

The Empress Dowager’s eyes sank coldly, “Go and bring the mourner’s one.”

“Yes.” The old Sister at the side answered, and then she turned around and left.

Su Qinrou kneeling on the ground did not dare to raise his head, but in his heart he was thinking, this late at night out of this matter, for fear of sister Mu, then, she just need to be silent on it.

Mu Zi Yan was still kneeling, not uttering a word, just letting the Empress Dowager size her up.

The emperor also did not expect such a turnaround, turning his eyes to look at the empress dowager and saying in a low voice, “Mother, this matter”

“Must be thoroughly investigated.” Although the empress dowager favored some of the concubine, but also absolutely not allow the concubine in her and before the means, she hated to be counted, especially close to the people.

Mu Zi Yan is more or less aware of the empress dowager’s heart disease, that year, the empress dowager first into the palace, got the emperor’s favor, Nai He, then raw Liang Wang when injured, must be out of the palace to recuperate, under the helplessness of the Liang Wang entrusted to her sister’s upbringing, did not expect to be a wolf into the house, the emperor is even more favored, was taken away from the emperor’s favor with the son, after the return to the palace after the empress dowager is to live a small and discreet, you can know that at that time on the empress dowager’s How big the blow, even if Huifei got the trust of the Empress Dowager, but once you do the thing to count the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager is absolutely no mercy.

This show has just begun, Zhong Xuan, you think that the use of Princess Hui will be able to put me to death, you are too underestimated you still think that I am the previous life of the chess piece at your mercy not even if you have more powerful means, this life, I will certainly trample you hard underfoot.

Not long ago, the old maids held a box over, the gold hairpin to the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager took over, twisted half a long time did not unscrew, turned his eyes and looked at the gold hairpin, the two comparisons, unique workmanship, on the head is also engraved with a mark, needless to say, this is from the same person’s hand.

The Empress Dowager’s eyes flashed with a flash of ghostly light, turning her eyes to look at the Emperor, “This place is empty, check what has been put there”

“Yes.” The emperor answered, and then he looked at Zhang Xi.

Zhang Xi received that golden hairpin, while then turned around and exited the Yongshou Palace.

The Empress Dowager looked at Mu Zi Yan and whispered, “You, this girl, are a resourceful one.”

Mu Zi Yan respectfully responded, “Back to the Empress Dowager, my daughter treats people with sincerity and has never had the intention of harming anyone.”

The Empress Dowager nodded slightly before saying, “Get up and speak.”

“Thank you for the Empress Dowager’s grace.” Mu Zi Yan responded, then she got up.

The relationship between the royal family and the various families is inextricably linked, the Empress Dowager’s move, undoubtedly believe that she was wrongly accused, and the emperor’s heart exactly what to play is not known.

If the Empress Dowager does not believe her, the Emperor can be allowed to take advantage of this matter will be the Marquis of Mu eradicated, so then, the State House is also less of a helping hand, as for now, the Crown Prince deliberately led the horses and men rushed to the State House, Mu Zi Yan is not worried.

She thought to herself that the empress dowager had favored Jun Qian Yu to such an extent that she would rather disregard the emperor’s mind, she couldn’t help but feel that in her previous life, did Jun Qian Yu actually die or was he just showing an illusion, but then things went so logically, in the end, Jun Qian Hao and Zhong Xuan got what they wished for, and became the empress of the Amazing Grace Kingdom, and she could only say it’s a pity that she had died too early, if she waited a little longer, she might have been able to If she had waited a little longer, she might have been able to see what happened later.

Mu Zi Yan and Su Qin Rou rules on the side, under such a depressing atmosphere, Mu Zi Yan calm and relaxed, do not see any panic, the Empress Dowager looked at her so look, satisfied nodded.

The emperor’s eyes flashed a flash of ghostly light, turned his eyes to see the Empress Dowager’s look, but also saw what he had in mind, he also has his own calculations, such a woman, if used well, it is a big help, if not used well, it is the scourge of ah.

On the contrary, Su Qinrou, if replaced before, she must be scared to tremble, but these days and Mu Zi Yan is experienced some big scenes, dead experience, was poisoned almost died also experienced, more importantly, just now the Beijing Zhaoyin government office, she heard, but also to let her reflect on the situation today, although she is a woman, but it is always the Marquis of Su’s first daughter, a glory with the honor and loss with the loss of reasoning she is still clear. Clearly, more understand, now the Marquis of Su has unconsciously with the Marquis of Mu stood in a place, so now she had to make herself strong, fast growth, so as not to even drag the Marquis of Su.

Mu Zi Yan for Su Qin Rou can have such a realization and feel gratified, after all, to be able to do so in such a short period of time, is really not easy.

She was able to think that Su Qinrou was afraid of being uncomplicated in the future, and more than her, she hoped that Su Qinrou would be able to get involved in this kind of intrigue as little as possible and live her own happy life.

Often, when you have been exposed to too much darkness, betrayal, and death, you want to get nothing more than the next person to you trust and warmth, Su Qinrou gave with Mu Zi Yan is friendship, is her previous life did not have, this life longing for, so in the face of the friend, Mu Zi Yan only want to let the people around them live happier than their own, at the very least, the darkness of this kind of thing, let her alone to bear it is good.

Su Qinrou did not know that Mu Zi Yan is so think, if she knew, she must be touched, feel that she did not see the wrong person.

Not long after, Zhang Xi came back, and then said, “Empress Dowager, Emperor, what is here is the poison that was used to poison Princess Hui.”

“Good.” The Empress Dowager’s eyes sank coldly as she rose to her feet, “Daring to calculate to the head of the mourning family.”

Consort Hui and Zhong Xuan’s scheme is undoubtedly perfect, however, their mistake is wrong, too overestimated the status of Consort Hui in the heart of the Empress Dowager, this game, Mu Zi Yan since the narrow victory.

If she had not been cautious, Mu Zijing suddenly sent her gold hairpin and preparedness, will not know that there is another mystery here, and therefore will not send people to check the origin of this gold hairpin, and will not be in the appropriate back to the Mu Houfu, after the order of Yunxiang will be brought to the gold hairpin to wear before entering the palace.

If not, the empress dowager will certainly order to search her courtyard, she personally served and was searched out, the result of which is great, the former is to clear the suspicion, the latter is recognized as evidence that she harmed Princess Hui.

Mu Zi Yan sighed in her heart, against Zhong Xuan, one really had to raise one hundred and twenty thousand percent of one’s spirit, she would dig traps for herself anytime, anywhere, but the days to come would be long, and one day she would uproot Zhong Xuan, make her fall to pieces, and suffer the pain she had endured in her previous life.

The emperor did not expect Princess Hui to have such an evil mind, but he did not understand why she wanted to deal with Mu Zi Yan.

The Empress Dowager looked at Mu Zi Yan and said in a low voice, “Tell me your judgment.”

“Yes.” Mu Zi Yan expected the Empress Dowager will push things to her, not that the Empress Dowager is not willing to personally go to the interrogation, but now this situation, once the Empress Dowager is not properly disposed of, then the implication is the Zhong family and the forces behind the Zhong family, the Zhong family has always supported the emperor, the Prince and the power of the Third Prince now tends to be balanced, and can not break the balance now, otherwise, to no one’s disadvantage.

Just Mu Zi Yan but know, the Zhong family on the surface is to support the emperor, in fact, has long been defected to the three princes, perhaps, the three princes is just a pawn in the hands of the Zhong family.

What Mu Zi Yan didn’t understand was the huge power Zhong Xuan possessed behind her, she knew where Zhong Xuan came from, however, it was impossible for a person to instantly possess that much power, unless, she came earlier than she thought.

When Mu Zi Yan thought so, her entire being seemed to have hit rock bottom, it seemed that Zhong Xuan was even more powerful than she had imagined, or even more unfathomable than what she had known in her previous life.

Mu Zi Yan stepped forward and said in a low voice, “Reporting back to the Empress Dowager, Consort Hui is doing this, perhaps because of Consort Yun.”

“She,” the Empress Dowager looked at Mu Zi Yan, not knowing why she brought up Concubine Yun for no apparent reason.

“Back to the Empress Dowager, the murder of the twelfth prince was the work of Princess Hui, when the twelfth prince was in trouble, Princess Hui happened to be absent from the dinner party, and at that time coincidentally catching up with my daughter and Sister Su who were also absent, Princess Hui was worried about attracting suspicion, so she staged a bitter trick.” Mu Zi Yan said bluntly.

“If it is her temporary intention, then, how to explain the matter of the gold hairpin” the Empress Dowager asked in a cold voice.

“This gold hairpin was gifted to my daughter by the third sister, my daughter doesn’t know why Princess Hui’s gold hairpin would fall into the hands of the third sister, however, my daughter knows that this night, sister Su’s pastries were poisoned.” Mu Zi Yan continued, “At that time, Su sister ate that pastry, and then handed my daughter a piece, my daughter felt that the taste was a little strange, the empress dowager knows, my daughter worshiped the Divine Physician door, these days also with the master to learn some fur, so I feel that this pastry is not right, which pulled Su sister to leave together, so that she will be the pastries to spit out, and then go back again, that The pastries were replaced, more importantly, after a while, sister Su felt dizzy and weak, the courtesan did not dare to make a noise, they all have her discomfort, accompanied her to leave together, sitting aside to rest a little.”

“You mean that Princess Hui arranged for you to be the scapegoat early on” the Emperor said bluntly.

“This is nothing more than my daughter’s speculation.” Mu Zi Yan whispered.

“Good one, Princess Hui.” The Empress Dowager said in a deep voice, “However, this assassin”

The Emperor turned his eyes to the Empress Dowager, “Mother, allow my child to think carefully on this matter.”

“The mourning family is tired, the matter of Princess Hui you deal with it on your own.” The Empress Dowager waved her hand and when she looked at Mu Zi Yan, her eyes flashed with a touch of appreciation, “Since things have already come to an end, Smoke Girl has wronged you.”

“Empress Dowager and His Majesty are clear-sighted, my daughter is not aggrieved.” Mu Zi Yan answered with downcast eyes.

“All stand down.” The Empress Dowager whispered.

“Your servant daughter excuses herself.” Mu Zi Yan and Su Qin Rou knelt down in unison to thank her, and then they retreated.

When Mu Zi Yan and Su Qin Rou left, the Empress Dowager looked at the Emperor, “This matter cannot be made a big deal, as for Princess Hui, she cannot be allowed to die.”

“Child understands.” The emperor is aware of the empress dowager’s temper, perhaps has been with the empress dowager’s side, so the emperor hates is also being counted, remembered that Princess Hui even dared to twelfth prince, and also use the empress dowager assassinated Mu Zi Yan, his eyes flashed a flash of ghostly light, to be respectfully send the empress dowager to leave, then stepped out of the bedchamber.

Zhong Xuan learned that Mu Zi Yan and Su Qin Rou had left the Yongshou Palace and turned her eyes to look at Concubine Hui, “It seems that things have fallen apart.”

“What,” Princess Hui rose violently, her face pale, her eyes flashed with a flash of panic, “what should be done”

“Auntie, you must not blame me for being hard-hearted.” Zhong Xuan said in a cold voice, then handed a wink to the two palace maids on the side, and those two palace maids stepped forward, then poured the poison in the bottle into Consort Hui’s mouth, and then retreated.

Zhong Xuan looked at Concubine Hui and said in a low voice, “I’m doing this for your own good, if you fall into the hands of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, you’ll surely live a life worse than death, so it’s better for me to send Auntie on her way.”

Zhong Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly as she turned around and left the chambers after speaking coldly.

Consort Hui rolled off the bed and fell to the ground, her body was in pain, she wailed out, her eyes were wide open and she spat out black blood, killing her on the spot.

When the emperor arrived and saw the death of Princess Hui, his eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said in a deep voice, “It’s cheap for you.”

“Your Majesty, it looks like someone is a step ahead.” Zhang Xi said from the side.

“Hmph, it seems that there are too many restless people.” The Emperor raised his eyes and looked into the distance, “This Great Yan’s kingdom can never be defeated in my hands.”

“Your Majesty, Princess Hui,” Zhang Xi asked softly.

“A violent death.” The emperor said, lifting his step and stepping out of the bedchamber.

“Yes.” Zhang Xi answered and went off on his own.

Mu Zi Yan and Su Qin Rou went out of the palace together, only then did Su Qin Rou exhale, while sitting inside the carriage, “Sister Mu, it was so close just now.”

“You girl, I thought you weren’t really afraid of it” Mu Zi Yan saw her pulling out a kerchief and wiping the cold sweat from the corner of her forehead and joked.

“How can you not be afraid” Su Qinruo sighed quietly, “Sister Mu, just now your words were true.”

“Which you say,” Mu Zi Yan asked faintly.

“It’s Princess Hui who stabbed you in the back,” Su Qinruo asked in disbelief.

“Yes.” Mu Zi Yan nodded and responded, “This is killing two birds with one stone.”

“Good poisonous mind, if not you wake up some, afraid now you and I have long seen the king of hell.” Su Qin Rou patted his chest, “only that I do not understand, why Princess Hui want to harm and you it.”

“This is a serial scheme, and Princess Hui is nothing more than a pawn.” Mu Zi Yan turned her eyes to look at Su Qin Rou and said, “Sister Su, you need to be more vigilant in the future, Zhong Xuan is a person who is vindictive, this time she lost, she will definitely make a comeback, maybe one day she will use you again to harm me.”

“Sister Mu, I’ve made a note of it.” Su Qinrou continued, “Why did Zhong Xuan have to put you to death”

“I got in her way.” Mu Zi Yan faintly opened her lips, “She is not allowing herself to make any mistakes, while I have ruined her plans one after another.”

“What exactly is she going to do,” Su Qinruo was really puzzled that a small concubine daughter could have such heavenly skills.

“You will know in the future.” Mu Zi Yan turned her eyes to look at her and said with a smile, “Now that the rain is over, you go back and wash the bad luck from your body.”

“That Fei Fei that place” Su Qinrou just now but felt the Queen Mother around the body exudes a murderous aura.

“Dead.” Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly, “When a pawn is useless, the next step is to shut up forever.”

“Sister Mu, what you said scares me a little.” After all, Su Qinrou hadn’t experienced this before, so she was a little chilled.

“You just need to remember that defense is not an option, and don’t be impulsive in everything.” Mu Zi Yan whispered, “Zhong Xuan won’t make a move against you for now, she doesn’t want to be exposed nowadays.”

“En.” Su Qinrou nodded, and then her grip on Mu Zi Yan’s hand tightened and tightened, “By the way, you’re talking about a chain of tricks, so what is her purpose”

“Using the Crown Prince to confront the State Duke’s Office.” Mu Zi Yan spoke faintly, “I was careless.”

“That the state government is now not very dangerous” Su Qinrou feel that this power thing is really complicated, she just want to quietly do a specification in the Miss ah, just as a family of the Miss, she is very clear, such things sooner or later will be faced, not as good as earlier to face.

Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly and said, “You forgot what the Fifth Prince came to do just now.”

“Difficult but into, the fifth prince now” Su Qin Rou looked at Mu Zi Yan, “Mu sister, how do I feel that you and the fifth prince between the existence of this kind of tacit understanding, just now he but nothing to say, you also nothing to mention, he will be able to understand your mind.”

Mu Zi Yan, however, was unimpressed, “It’s just a matter of each taking what he wants, and he’s doing this for his own sake.”

“Sister Mu, why can’t you just accept him,” Su Qinrou couldn’t help but ask, really puzzled.

Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly, “You forgot about the flowers I asked Yiyi sister to pass on to you”

“Alright, I won’t mention it is.” The corner of Su Qinrou’s mouth turned away, “Anyway, ah, we’re all still young.”

“Yeah, you, just have fun for another two years.” Mu Zi Yan laughed lightly.

Su Qinrou was so amused by Mu Zi Yan, the fear in her heart gradually dissipated, only the carriage traveled for a while, but suddenly stopped.

Mu Zi Yan pressed Su Qin Rou’s hand, “Don’t move.”

“What’s going on,” Su Qinruo also felt bad and asked cautiously, but she didn’t dare to move.

Mu Zi Yan whispered, “There are killers outside.”

“Ah,” Su Qinrou hastily scrunched her neck, “This is too bold.”

“Let me see.” Mu Zi Yan protected Su Qin Rou behind her, and then lifted the curtain of the car, and saw that the outside had long been empty, even the driver who drove the car had disappeared, leaving only the man in black.

Mu Zi Yan laughed coldly, “Third Highness, since you’ve done it, why be afraid of it”

“Haha.” Jun Qianhao raised his voice and laughed, then he marched to the carriage.

Su Qinrou’s face showed shock, “Your Highness San San”

Mu Zi Yan lifted a corner of the car curtain and saw Jun Qian Hao walking over, beside him stood Zhong Xuan, the corner of her mouth hooked up in a cold smile, looking at Mu Zi Yan with a smile or not.

Mu Zi Yan protected Su Qin Rou behind her at all times while bending down to walk out of the carriage, “Second Miss Zhong, you finally couldn’t help yourself”

“Eldest Miss Mu is really smart.” Zhong Xuan smiled in a very weird way and slowly stepped forward, “Since you know, you can’t stay, tonight is the night of your death.”

Mu Zi Yan laughed lightly, “Second Miss Zhong, don’t be too confident in everything, overconfidence is a price to pay.”

“I’d like to see who else can save you today.” Zhong Xuan said in a deep voice, then raised her hand, “Send Great Miss Mu on her way properly.”

“Yes.” The black-clothed man beside him then drew the cold knife at his waist and slowly approached Mu Ziyan.

Mu Zi Yan didn’t half panic, but stood blandly, the corner of her mouth hooked up in an evil smile, looking straight at Zhong Xuan, and said with a low laugh, “Yan King doesn’t dare to take me in tonight, but I can accompany Miss Zhong Er to have a good time.”
