Chapter 120 – Mu Zixi’s Calculations (2 / 2)

“The Fourth Princess,” the old lady’s eyes sank slightly, “is that sickly child.”

“Exactly.” Mu Qinglin looked at the old lady and responded.

“A sickly child, even if she is a princess, so what” the old lady coldly grunted, “can’t give birth, how should your future heir be”

“Mother, the Emperor has decreed, and the child cannot resist the decree.” Mu Qinglin whispered, “It’s just a woman.”

“Wait a little longer.” The old madam seemed to have thought of something, “Even if you marry a princess, it would have to be the fifth or sixth princess.”

“The mother consort of the fifth princess is Consort Liu, this Consort Liu’s mother family is the Duke of Rong Guo.” The old lady whispered, “Although the Duke of Rongguo is not included in the top ten families, but it is also a famous family, and Consort Liu knows the books and reasoning, this fifth princess has a gentle nature, and the sixth princess is the same age, if you marry the fifth princess, naturally it’s excellent, even if it’s not the fifth princess, it’s also the sixth princess, although the sixth princess has a naughty and unruly temperament, but it’s the emperor’s most favored princess, and her mother consort is Consort Rong, this Consort Liang’s own sister, from a famous family, it’s always better than the fourth princess. This Rongfei is Liang Wangfei’s own sister, from a famous family, always better than the fourth princess, the fourth princess’s mother consort went early, now foster in the empress dowager’s knee, although the same as the fifth prince, but different.”

“Mother, the Emperor will not grant the Fifth Princess or the Sixth Princess to the child.” Mu Qinglin is this self-awareness, he is now only a minister, although the third master of the Marquis of Mu, not the Marquis of Mu, and there has been a wife, not to mention that there are several aunts in the back of the house, the emperor will be able to point to the four princesses to him is a high climber, but also shows that the emperor’s respect for him, if he is still picky words, the emperor will certainly be suspicious of him.

“Ai, the fourth princess will be the fourth princess.” The old madam coldly grunted, “When the big event is accomplished, not to mention a princess, even if all the princesses of this royal family are given to you, I still don’t want them.”

Mu Qinglin knew that the old madam didn’t want him to be aggravated, but now he could only suffer, he looked at the old madam with a smile, “Child knows, mother is heartbroken child.”

“It’s good that you know.” Only then did the old madam blossom into a smile and whispered, “It’s just a pity that, ah, Cui gave birth to a child who is not a good fighter.”

Mu Qinglin laughed lowly and said, “Mother don’t worry, when child marries the fourth princess, he will definitely fill mother with a big fat grandchild.”

“Good.” The old madam was all smiles, perhaps only when facing Mu Qinglin could the old madam smile so cheerfully.

The next morning after the morning court, the emperor went to the Marquis of Mu to declare the will, since it is the will to give marriage, Mu Zi Yan did not expect the emperor will be four princesses married to the third uncle, not to recruit extra horse harnessed by the side of the emperor’s side, but to be married, when it is really the emperor’s grace, ah.

Mu Zi Yan saw Mu Qing Lin’s eyebrows are joyful, and look to the old lady is full of red, but she saw Mu Zi Jing that face changing color, she just went forward to say a few words of congratulations, and then returned to their own courtyard.

Mu Zi Ruoxi marched over to Mu Zi Jing’s side, “Congratulations to third sister.”

Mu Zi Jing raised her eyes to look angrily at Mu Zi Ruoxi, snorted coldly, turned around, and then left in big strides.

Mu Zi Ruoxi’s eyes flashed with a smug cold light, but she dropped her gaze on Mu Zi Yan’s departing back.

“Eldest Miss, this Fourth Princess is also a pot of medicine, I heard.” Yunxiang whispered, “It’s the same illness as County Princess Lin’an.”

“How could it” Bi Yun then said, “Lin An County princess although weak body, is a rare beauty, not to mention that she is the Moon Princess and the pearl in the palm of the hand, the emperor loves her more than those princesses are good, the empress dowager is more pain in the heart on the tip of the child, that the four princesses is not, no one to rely on, if not Raised on the side of the empress dowager, for fear of early death in this harem.”

When Mu Zi Yan heard Bi Yun say so, she nodded slightly, “That’s a fair point.”

“Eldest Miss, it can be seen how scenic this princess is on the surface, but she is nothing but pitiful.” Yunxiang sighed.

“It’s always like this in the harem.” Mu Zi Yan faintly opened her lips, “The fourth princess marrying over will be lively.”

“Eldest Miss, why do you say that” Bi Yun however felt that Eldest Miss did not sympathize with this Fourth Princess in the slightest.

“You say she is pitiful, but you know that pitiful people must be hateful” Mu Zi Yan guffawed, and then went into the inner room.

She can clearly remember, the previous life of the four princesses is how brutal, although a sickly child, but that means is not soft, kill people even eyelids are not lifted, not to mention the treatment of her eyes, the four princesses in the harem, but is a hot potato, naturally looking for someone to take over in a hurry, coincidentally, by the three uncle picked up.

Yunxiang and Bi Yun were unaware of this, so they were suspicious of Mu Zi Yan’s words.

Mu Zi Yan also did not explain too much, this time the old lady can have a bitter head to eat, evil people have their own evil people grinding ah.

Beijing Zhaoyin Yamen, Zhang Zong these days sleepless nights, the murder case and not the slightest progress, on the surface of all the evidence points out that this is a case of murder for money, but Zhang Zong feel where it is not right, when all the evidence is linked together in a piece of time, but also feel that it is too obvious.

When Niangzi Lu saw him like this, she sighed, “But you have an idea”

“No.” Zhang Zong shook his head, “It would be good if Smokey was here.”

“She’s afraid she doesn’t have the heart to help you now.” Niangzi Lu continued, “The Marquis Mu Mansion is very lively these days.”

“However, if this case drags on any longer, it will become an unsolved case.” Zhang Zong sighed quietly, then got up, “Big deal, I’ll personally go beg her.”

“You, you know her temperament, the first few murders were related to her, so she would intervene, but this case, she has nothing to do with it, why would she intervene” Lu looked at Zhang Zong, “You have solved countless cases, how could you lose your judgment when it comes to Smokey’s sister? “

“It’s just that I always feel that something is wrong, I need someone to guide me nowadays.” Zhang Zong looked at Niangzi Lu and immediately got up, “No, I have to go find her.”

Lady Lu smiled helplessly, “Well, she sent word just now that she would be coming over later.”

“How could you not say so earlier” Zhang Zong saw that Niangzi Lu said so, and immediately danced with joy, so he hurried out of the back hall and went to greet him personally.

When Niangzi Lu saw him like this, she couldn’t help but shake her head and sigh, “When you meet a case matter you are still happy to meet your own mother.”

Though she said so, she followed along.

When Mu Zi Yan got out of the carriage, she saw Zhang Zong smilingly welcome her.

She smiled lightly and stepped forward, “Elder Zhang has met a happy event”

“Smokey ah, finally you are here.” Zhang Zong said and then looked at her with a fist in the air.

When Mu Zi Yan saw this heat from him, she obviously gave a start, and then looked at Niangzi Lu, seeing that she also smiled helplessly and bitterly, she was happy at that moment.

The reason why she was able to crack those previous cases was all due to the memories of her previous life and some of the things she saw in that world, so she was able to find the truth a little faster than Zhang Zong, as for the ones that had nothing to do with her, she couldn’t really say.

Therefore, now that she had come, she spoke at once, “Let me make it clear in advance that I am only trying my best to give it a try, and if I can’t find it, don’t blame me.”

“Good.” Zhang Zong responded cheerfully, as long as she could solve the confusion, it was more important than anything else.

Mu Zi Yan entered with Zhang Zong, first went to the autopsy room, then asked, “What is the surname of Mu Zi Yue’s husband’s family?”

“Surname Zhang.” Zhang Zong said.

“It’s the Honzon with you.” Mu Zi Yan said with a smile.

“Nonetheless.” Seeing Mu Zi Yan arrive at this place well not forgetting to tease him, he looked a little anxious.

When Mu Zi Yan saw him like this, she stopped flirting with him and instead looked down at Boss Zhang’s corpse and turned her eyes to Zhang Zong, “Your judgment is”

“An expert.” Zhang Zong asserted with a single bite.

“And what else,” Muzzy Smoke continued to ask.

“And it’s still an acquaintance who committed the crime.” Zhang Zong continued.

“Not bad.” Mu Zi Yan nodded and responded, “Continue.”

“According to this wound, this person is adept at using a knife, and it kills with a single move.” Zhang Zong followed Mu Zi Yan’s words back.

In this way, as soon as Mu Zi Yan asked him a question and he answered it, he rearranged the cause of death of Boss Zhang in front of him again, and then he looked at the body of Mu Zi Yue on the side.

When it was opened, Mu Zi Yan was also visibly stunned, “This is unexpected.”

“Have the bodies been mistreated” Mu Zi Yan turned her eyes to Niangzi Lu and asked.

“No.” Lady Lu shook her head, “It was quartered after having its throat cut directly.”

“Looking at the blade, it came from the same person, but why did you scratch your face” Mu Zi Yan stared at the face, only to feel that something was wrong.

Zhang Zong whispered, “This is also something I don’t understand.”

“Which situation would the murderer do so” Mu Zi Yan thought carefully.

Zhang Zong continued, “The clothes she wore, and her figure, along with the birthmark on her body, all point to Mu Zi Yue.”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded, “It was Sister Lu who came to recognize the corpse.”

“Yes.” Zhang Zong looked at Mu Zi Yan, “Is there anything wrong?”

“Let’s go out.” Mu Zi Yan turned around and left the autopsy room.

“Did Smokey find anything suspicious,” Zhang Zong asked as he stepped forward.

“I’ll think about it.” Mu Zi Yan also had doubts in her heart, and then looked at Niangzi Lu, “Have you checked if this corpse was pregnant?”

“Did not.” Lady Lu shook her head, “Did not carry a body.”

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes and looked at Zhang Zong, “Has Brother Zhang inquired if Mu Zi Yue has ever been pregnant”

“I will go now.” Zhang Zong seemed to have figured something out and turned around in a hurry before leaving in a hurry.

When Niangzi Lu saw him leave with his feet in the air, she turned her eyes to look at Mu Zi Yan, “Look, it’s been like this for the past few days.”

“That’s true.” Mu Zi Yan laughed, “Sister Lu, accompany me for a while.”

“Good.” Niangzi Lu nodded in response, and the two of them went to Niangzi Lu’s house.

The two of them sat in one place, Mu Zi Yan didn’t beat around the bush, but said bluntly, “Sister Lu, who exactly are you”

When Niangzi Lu saw that Mu Zi Yan actually asked this question, she laughed lowly and said, “Does it matter who I am”

“Important.” Mu Zi Yan felt that Niangzi Lu was not simple, the Niangzi Lu in her previous life was also very mysterious, and then after she left Zhang Zong, there was no more news, she had always felt that Niangzi Lu seemed to be hiding some kind of secret on her body, and maybe it had something to do with Jun Qian Yu

In this life, Mu Zi Yan always connects the memories of her previous life with what she has experienced these days. In her previous life, she did not have too many encounters with Niangzi Lu, Zhang Zong, and Jun Qian Yu, and later on, she has been following Leng Hanfeng’s side, and wholeheartedly acted as Leng Hanfeng’s chess piece, so what she knows about Niangzi Lu is only the rumors that she has heard in her previous life.

“Smokey sister really wants to know” Niangzi Lu did not intend to hide it from Mu Zi Yan, but now is not the time to confess.

Mu Zi Yan nodded slightly, “Does Sister Lu have something difficult to say”

“Sister Smokey, one day I will want you to confess, but not today.” Nyonya Lu said bluntly.

“If that’s the case, then I’ll wait for the day Sister Lu confesses.” Mu Zi Yan didn’t press the issue either, all people have secrets, so why should she be bitter?

The two of them chatted for a few moments, then they saw Zhang Zong come back in a huff, “Mu Zi Yue had been pregnant, but she had a miscarriage.”

“If that’s the case, how can that corpse at the head there be explained” Mu Zi Yan looked at Zhang Zong and asked.

“I see.” Zhang Zong looked at Mu Zi Yan, “Smokey is truly a blessing.”

Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly and said, “The rest will be taken care of by Brother Zhang himself.”

“Good.” Only then did Zhang Zong have a smile on his face.

Mu Zi Yan came back from the Beijing Zhaoyin’s government office, and Mu Lingxuan and Qi Xuan were waiting for her.

“Brother, cousin.” Mu Zi Yan entered and looked at the two of them with a smile, “Cousin came this day, but he has good news”

“Cousin knows about the border” Qi Xuan said bluntly.

Mu Zi Yan slowly sat down, Yun Xiang and Bi Yun retreated, now only the three of them were left in the room.

“How does cousin feel about this matter” Mu Zi Yan looked at Qi Xuan and asked.

“It seems that cousin knows.” Qi Xuan said in a warm voice.

“Cousin can you tell me the truth” Mu Zi Yan looked straight at Qi Xuan, wanting to try to find out something from his eyes, but unfortunately nothing came out of it.

Qi Xuan whispered, “What if I say I don’t know anything”

“If Jiao Men Town is lost, the first thing the Emperor will do is to take the State Duke’s House for questioning, and Grandfather is already old, so he won’t be able to withstand this kind of blow.” Mu Zi Yan said in a low voice.

She remembers very clearly, in her previous life, her grandfather was far away from the border, first, after learning about her mother, she was heartbroken, and then her grandmother followed, followed by the Fifth Prince also died in battle, one after another blow, really went to half of her grandfather’s life.

“Cousin and how do you know that this Jiao Men Town will be lost” Qi Xuan looked at Mu Zi Yan, his eyes overflowing with doubt.

“I do not want to lose the corner of the town, but I know, Fu Heng prima donna, and he in the fifth prince and the second uncle to return to the capital, but also secretly from the north of the Qing country’s capital and led 200,000 men to the border, the fifth prince and the second uncle just arrived at the border not long ago, he attacked the corner of the town at night, which must have a fraud.” Mu Zi Yan said bluntly.

“What cousin said is extremely true.” Qi Xuan had gotten the news since then, so he only came to tell Mu Zi Yan now, not realizing that she actually knew earlier than he did.

Mu Zi Yan knew that Qi Xuan had also gotten the news and came, she whispered, “Cousin, Duke Chu spoke of the people of the Hot Springs Manor and handed them over to me, so I’m going to make good use of them since.”

“Since so.” Qi Xuan warmly responded, “Now that the border war is imminent, the emperor has gotten the news, but there is no decree, I am worried that the emperor will not use this matter to deal with the state government.”

Mu Zi Yan pondered for a moment, “Self-concerned about the end of the Lord is bound to be miserable, but there is another possibility, don’t just back down, since it has come to this, then it should become stronger, until the point where no one can shake it, even if it’s the Emperor, he wouldn’t dare to move the State Duke’s House by a single centimeter.”

Qi Xuan and Mu Ling Xuan heard Mu Zi Yan’s such bold words, both of them froze on the spot, lifting their eyes to look at her in astonishment, and for a moment they actually lost their concentration.

They have been thinking about how to save, but have not thought about, even if they begged for perfection, showing loyalty to the royal family, but also still can not eliminate the emperor’s suspicion of the state government, once the state government has any wind blowing, the emperor will be the first to the state government to do it, rather than passively take a beating, not if you let yourself become more powerful, so that even if the emperor wants to move the state government, but also have to weigh their own has this The

“How could I not think of it” Qi Xuan suddenly came to a realization, raising his eyes to look at Mu Zi Yan with a smile between his brows.

Mu Lingxuan laughed lightly, “It’s still sister who woke up the dreamer with a single word.”

Mu Zi Yan after the lessons of the previous life, since I know, unless you make yourself invulnerable, otherwise, sooner or later will be eliminated, especially the State House in this position, if you can not be used for others, then the best method is to eliminate.

And the emperor is quite suspicious, for the state government has long been scrupulous, the heart of the killing intent, and the state government step by step concessions, but is to grow the enemy’s temper.

Mu Zi Yan does not want to rush to the flotsam again, so the only change to do is to make the state government become more powerful, for this reason, she does not mind overthrowing the royal family in front of her, just, this is also to the point of no choice.

Qi Xuan out of the Mu Marquis, footsteps light and fast a lot, immediately back to the State Duke House, will Mu Zi smoke words as it is, told Qi Yan, Qi Yan quite after the joy, “This girl is a few points of the general’s talent.”

Mu Lingxuan looked at Mu Zi Yan, “Why would sister have such an idea”

“Instead of being passive, it’s better to take the initiative.” Mu Zi Yan held up the book of war in her hand and said, “It says so in the book.”

“Is that so,” Mu Lingxuan, however, didn’t believe it and only felt that this sister of his was mysterious and unpredictable.

Border matters aside, Zhang Zong here got a mention, since there is a direction, they continue to investigate the case thoroughly.

Mu Zi Yan these days will study and medical books, daily listen to Yunxiang report outside the matter, the day is pleasant.

But the days of comfort never last long, some people will always come out to seek death when you take a little breather, Mu Zi Yan is already accustomed to this.

Mu Zixi was taking a nap this day when she received the note, and after reading it, she packed up and headed to Mu Ziyan’s yard.

“Big sister.” Mu Zi Ruoxi entered with gusto and saw Mu Zi Yan leaning to the side playing with a bone fan.

“Second sister.” Mu Zi Yan looked a bit lazy, slowly sitting up and looking at her with a smile.

Mu Zixi smiled lightly and sat down, then said, “Eldest sister, the Golden Bullet Pill my grandmother gave me was found.”

“Oh.” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes flashed with a flash of surprise and said with a smile, “Where did second sister find it”

“It is also my carelessness, placed in the cabinet, but always remembered to wear around.” Mu ZiXi said and then baby like that gold projectile took out, and then put in the palm, offering treasure like towards MuZiYan this place to hand over.

Mu Zi Yan looked at the golden pellet slowly approaching her, her eyes flashed with a flash of curiosity, but her body was ready to clamp down on Mu Zi Ruoxi, only to wait until Mu Zi Ruoxi smiled extraordinarily brightly, placed the golden pellet in front of her, and with her hands together, threw the golden pellet towards Mu Zi Yan’s body.

Mu Zi Yan hastily raised her hands and grabbed her hands in reverse, clasping the golden projectile in her hands, her eyes flashed a cold light, the corner of her mouth held a cold smile, “What is second sister doing”

When Mu ZiXi saw Mu ZiYan reacting so sensitively, she was first stunned and hurriedly cried out, “Big sister, what are you doing? My younger sister is just trying to give big sister a look, why are you doing this”
