Chapter 124 – Auntie’s Coming (1 / 2)

“It is not easy for you and I to meddle in the affairs of the harem, lest we are in turn utilized by the bystanders.” Staffer said in a low voice.

“Go back to the mansion and wait quietly.” Qi Xuan also responded approvingly, and the two of them then rolled onto their horses and left separately.

Jun Yuluo returned to the palace in a rage, and someone had already passed on the news that she had left the palace privately and made a scene to the Emperor, who was currently waiting for her here at Consort Rong’s place.

Jun Yuluo knew that she would cause her father to be furious, but she did not regret it, and if she was given another chance, she would do the same, and she would definitely rush before Mu Lingxuan arrived to stab Su Qinruo through the heart.

Mu Lingxuan’s desperate and straightforward words always haunted her heart, each word was like a knife, cutting her heart one by one, dripping with blood, so painful that she couldn’t wait to kill all the people who were in the way in front of her.

Jun Yuluo stepped into the chambers with her head hanging down, and before the Emperor could get angry, she was already kneeling on the ground, “Father, Yuluo knows that she has let Father down, but as a princess, Yuluo watched her things being snatched away from her, how can Yuluo swallow this breath”

The emperor said in a deep voice, “It is really spoiled by your mother consort.”

Concubine Rong hurriedly knelt down, “It is my concubine who is not disciplining well.”

“Father, this matter has nothing to do with Mother Concubine, it was Yuluo who stole Mother Concubine’s token and left the palace, Yuluo shouldn’t have disobeyed the decree and left the palace privately, she is willing to be punished.” Jun Yuluo said and kowtowed towards the Emperor.

Seeing her attitude, the emperor said in a deep voice, “Grounded for four months, if you dare to commit the offense again, you will be severely punished.”

“Thank you Father for loving me.” Jun Yuluo gratefully raised her eyes to look at the Emperor, where there was still the ruthless one from when she had just faced Su Qinruo, instead, she looked like a child who had been wronged and was now facing the look of her forgiving father.

The emperor raised his hand to help her up, “There are so many excellent men in this world, why do you have to be him”

“Father, Yuluo is just unwilling.” To think that she, Jun Yuluo, the Emperor’s most favored princess, had spent ten years to like someone, only to be teased in the end, only to be rejected mercilessly, how could she be willing?

The Emperor could hear the hatred and shame in Jun Yuluo’s heart, and he snorted coldly, “If you really want him, I have plenty of methods.”

“Father, Yu Luo wants to resolve this matter on her own.” Jun Yuluo then knelt down again, “As Father’s daughter, if she can’t even handle this matter, how can she be worthy of Father’s love?”

“Good, good.” The Emperor once again helped Jun Yuluo up, “Worthy of being my Sixth Princess.”

When the Emperor left, Consort Rong turned her eyes to Jun Yu Luo, “You.”

“Mother Concubine, why do you think he doesn’t want me” Jun Yuluo stepped forward and leaned into Concubine Rong’s arms, “What’s wrong with Yuluo”

“Anyone who dares to break Yu Luo’s heart, this palace will not spare a single one of them.” Concubine Rong’s gentle eyes flashed with a cold light of ruthlessness at this moment.

Jun Yu Luo raised her eyes to look at Concubine Rong, the corners of her eyes brimming with sourness, “Mother Concubine, only Mother Concubine treats Yu Luo the best in this world.”

“Silly child.” Princess Rong gently patted her back, “You are also tired, rest well.”

“En.” Jun Yuluo nodded in response before entering the bedchamber with a haggard expression.

Rong Fei looked at the usual lively daughter now even turned into this appearance, she turned towards the side of the palace maid commanded a few words, then saw that the palace maid exited the bedchamber.

Mu Zi Yan was sitting upright at the moment, just staring at the palace maid who was cleaning in the distance, waiting until Yun Xiang came back, “Eldest Miss, the eldest young master sent Eldest Miss Su back.”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded slightly, “What is the movement at the Sixth Princess’s place”

“His Majesty has increased the January grounding and is now at Consort Rong’s place.” Yunxiang continued.

“His Majesty really favors her.” Mu Zi Yan smiled faintly and turned her eyes to Jin’er who came with her head hanging down, “Is the Empress awake?”

“Not yet.” Jinn shook her head.

“Estimating that it will take another hour.” After Mu Zi Yan said that, when the palace was cleaned up and the palace maids retired, the corner of her mouth hooked up a faint smile, then she turned to look at Yun Xiang, “Keep an eye on that palace maid.”

“Yes.” Yunxiang looked towards the direction Mu Ziyan’s eyes looked over, and saw that it was an unimpressive palace maid who was currently carrying a wooden bucket and following at the end.

“Eldest Miss Mu, now that it’s getting late, it’s time for you to have your evening meal.” Jin’er reported in a low voice from the side.

“No, I’ll go to Yongshou Palace.” Mu Zi Yan smiled faintly, slowly got up and left the Liuyun Palace.

Jin’er only felt that this Miss Mu was really strange, sitting in the bedchamber for a day, and she was in no hurry at all to hand over the murderer tomorrow.

Yunxiang and Biyun followed, and after Mu Ziyan left, they saw a black shadow drilling in from the side door of the Liuyun Palace.

Mu Zi Yan sat inside the soft sedan chair, Yun Xiang reported in a low voice outside, “Missy, someone really went in.”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded and responded, “Fold back.”

“Yes.” Yunxiang then ordered the people to carry the soft sedan chair back.

After Mu Zi Yan landed in the sedan chair, she entered the Liuyun Palace, Jin Er saw Mu Zi Yan returning, and hurriedly greeted her, “Miss Mu, how did you”

“Oh, just walked halfway, just remembered that this morning before going to the empress dowager’s place to ask for peace, the empress dowager mentioned that at this time she is in the Buddha Hall, that’s why I came back.” Mu Zi Yan said faintly.

“So it is.” Jin’er hung her head and responded, then she followed Mu Zi Yan into the bedchamber.

The two of them, Yun Xiang and Bi Yun, passed a glance to each other, and then Yun Xiang turned around and left.

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to look at the large hall in front of her, the corner of her mouth hooked up in a cold smile, and she turned her eyes to Jin’er, “I’ll have my evening meal here.”

“The slave girl will go and prepare.” Jin’er turned around and left.

Bi Yun quietly stood beside Mu Zi Yan, “Eldest Miss, there is indeed something wrong at Consort Rong’s place.”

“Tell me.” Mu Zi Yan knew that Bi Yun was the best at prying for information.

“Slave girl heard that Princess Rong originally gave birth to a prince, but unfortunately before the birth of the fetus died in the womb, since then Princess Rong has been living in deep simplicity, and I heard that the death of the prince was due to Princess Rong mistakenly took the meals sent by the Empress at that time.” Bi Yun whispered.

“En.” Mu Zi Yan is more or less aware of some of the previous life of Princess Rong also went early, seems to be a sudden violent death, as for the real cause of death is unknown.

Just this life of Princess Rong, whether she can escape the bad luck of the

“Consort Rong’s relationship with the Liang King seems to be somewhat unusual.” Bi Yun looked at Mu Zi Yan and said, “I heard that back then, the Liang King was in favor of Consort Rong, but by mistake, he married Consort Rong’s sister, and then Consort Rong entered the palace, and was also a holy favorite for a while.”

“You girl does know quite a bit.” Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to Bi Yun and said with a smile.

“Slave girl is also inquired about.” Bi Yun favorite to inquire about news, for this matter is even more handy, every time into the palace, always be able to mingle with the palace maids, naturally chatting in a place, since it is able to hear some unknown secret stories.

“Continue.” Mu Zi Yan listened carefully.

“The reason why the Sixth Princess is highly favored by the Emperor, I’ve heard that she looks a bit like the Empress.” Bi Yun said carefully.

“Empress” Mu Zi Yan has never seen the Empress, after all, the Empress princely early, she has not seen, but also seen the Empress’s portrait, is indeed a rare beauty, no wonder the Liang King will give up the kingdom for her.

She thought carefully about the Empress’s eyebrows and eyes, and had to say that the Sixth Princess’s eyebrows and eyes did look a bit like the Empress’s, only the Emperor was really that affectionate towards the Empress

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to Bi Yun, “Continue.”

“Consort Rong has placed all of her expectations on the Sixth Princess since she lost her unborn son, and there has been no more happy news since then.” Bi Yun looked at Mu Zi Yan, “The Sixth Princess is so infatuated with the eldest young master, it makes no sense for Consort Rong not to intervene.”

Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly and said, “I’m afraid that there is a side reason for this.”

“What does Missy mean by that” Bi Yun asked in confusion.

“No one can say what happened back then, the pain in Princess Rong’s heart is afraid that only she knows, she is able to sit firmly as one of the four consorts, there must be her means, not only because of the Sixth Princess.” Mu Zi Yan looked at her and said.

“The slave girl doesn’t know anything about this.” Bi Yun frowned, since she couldn’t figure it out.

Mu Zi Yan said with a light smile, “Can there be any other special”

“Special,” Bi Yun thought for a moment, then said, “Eldest Miss, County Princess Ming An and the Second Young Master are close to good things.”

“Oh.” Mu Zi Yan raised her eyebrows, “It seems that the Liang King holds this cousin of mine in high regard.”

“Eldest Miss, I’ve heard that County Lord Bian An has already asked for a decree to bestow the marriage.” Bi Yun said softly, “Good things are just a few days away.”

“That will have to wait until after Third Uncle, there will be changes in this, who can say.” Mu Zi Yan roughly guessed it, then she saw Yun Xiang come back.

“Eldest Miss, the people have been staked out.” Yun Xiang whispered back.

“Good.” Mu Zi Yan smiled and answered, “It will depend on this night.”

“Yes.” Rueka felt that something else would happen tonight.

When concubine Yi woke up, there was a moment of stagnation, she thought she was in a dream, and when she woke up, her child was still there.

Mu Zi Yan walked up and whispered, “Your mother’s body is feeling better”

Concubine Yi looked at Mu Ziyan, “Can Miss Mu find out who it is?”

“Everything will have to wait until the Emperor comes tomorrow, I will tell you the truth.” Mu Zi Yan looked at concubine Yi and said.

“Good.” Yi Concubine then calmed her mind, but she also felt a grayness before her eyes.

Mu Zi Yan continued, “Does Your Highness feel that she has no one to rely on now?”

“I thought I had gotten through it, but I didn’t realize that in the end I would end up being beaten back.” Concubine Yi smiled bitterly.

Mu Zi Yan see Yi Concubine so, seems to think of when he lost Rui Er helpless and difficult to say, a darkness in front of his eyes, can not find a trace of light.

“My daughter can see that His Majesty has compassion for you.” Mu Zi Yan said faintly, also considered to be on point.

Concubine Yi turned her eyes to look at Mu Zi Yan, her eyes moving slightly, “Rather, it’s me who’s in authority.”

“Your Highness rest well, there is always hope for everything.” Mu Zi Yan said and exited the bedchamber.

Jin’er led her to the side hall to rest, Bi Yun and Yunxiang two people at the side of the service, Mu Zi Yan wash themselves, then lie on the bed to rest.

Concubine Yi couldn’t sleep, Jin’er came in and reported today’s events to Concubine Yi, “Your Highness, what exactly is Miss Mu’s intention?”

“Wait for tomorrow will know.” Yi concubine is not stupid, try to survive in this harem, and which is really stupid but each has its own calculations, each has its own mind, technology is not as good as others, the final outcome is only a death.

The next day at dawn, Mu Zi Yan got up, since it is to freshen up and dress up, and then went to the concubines to ask for peace, and then went to the Palace of Eternal Life, the Palace is not than the Marquis, in the head of the rules of the many, in the hands of Mu Zi Yan has the Empress Dowager’s token, when I thought it was a hot potato, and now with the more and more smooth hand.

Mu Ziyan smoothly entered the Yongshou Palace and respectfully greeted, “My daughter sees the Empress Dowager.”

“Smoke girl last night child rest can be good” this harem thing, the Empress Dowager since it is like a finger in the eye, so lovingly asked.

“Very good.” Mu Zi Yan returned truthfully.

“Rather, it’s a loveable one.” The Empress Dowager is extremely satisfied with Mu Zi Yan, and is determined to set her up with Jun Qian Yu, and I don’t know what this girl’s mind is in the end!

“Reporting back to the empress dowager, the subject woman came here today is to ask the empress dowager to move away, about the concubine lady slipped pregnant, the emperor ordered the subject woman to investigate thoroughly, one day deadline has arrived, the subject woman has already found out the murderer, the subject woman dare to ask the empress dowager to move away from the side of the hearing.” Mu Zi Yan this is just in case.

The empress dowager saw Mu Zi Yan say so, even more pleased nodded her head, since she guessed Mu Zi Yan’s mind, and then responded, “Since it’s a matter in the palace, the mourning family is going to take a look at it.”

“I thank the Empress Dowager for her grace.” Mu Zi Yan said and then bowed again.

When Mu Zi Yan with the Empress Dowager into the Liuyun Palace, concubines will have to get up to meet the driver, the Empress Dowager is to let her this day will be exempted from the rituals, lying down and resting.

“Concubines see the Empress Dowager.” Concubine Yi reluctantly got off the couch and knelt on the ground with Jin’er’s assistance.

Seeing her pale and haggard appearance, the Empress Dowager whispered, “Don’t quickly help your master up.”

“Yes.” Jin’er hurriedly helped Yi Concubine up and carefully helped her lie down.

The Empress Dowager turned to look at Mu Zi Yan, “Smoke girl is waiting for someone”

“My daughter has the audacity to ask the Empress Dowager to summon Consort Rong, Consort Yun, and the Sixth Princess.” Mu Zi Yan then knelt down and said.

“They,” the Empress Dowager’s heart sank when she heard this, but she still allowed it, and then ordered someone to go and summon the three into the Liuyun Palace.

The emperor came down from the morning court, since he knew that the empress dowager had moved to the Liuyun Palace, and Consort Rong, Consort Yun and Jun Yuluo were also there, and when he entered the room, he saw that all the people were waiting for him, and he lifted his step forward to the empress dowager’s heel, “Mother.”

“His Majesty has come, then Smoke Girl will begin.” The Empress Dowager looked at the Emperor, and then said faintly.

The emperor is also inconvenient to say more, at that moment will sit on the side of the empress dowager, Mu Zi Yan is toward the emperor respectfully salute, “subject daughter see the emperor.”

“Miss Mu can find out the murderer” the emperor asked in a deep voice.

“Yes.” Mu Zi Yan answered in a low voice, then said, “Your Majesty, please look.”

Mu Zi Yan said and pointed to the surrounding furnishings, the emperor raised his eyes and surveyed, “What’s wrong”

The Empress Dowager looked at herself and then looked at Mu Zi Yan, “How is this different”

“The murderer is very clever, she used the daily cleaning of the bedchamber to put the medicinal powder that causes slippage of the fetus into the clear water, and then stained everywhere in the palace, this stained medicinal powder will be inhaled by concubine Yi, so in less than five days, the fetus will be slippage of the fetus.” Mu Zi Yan said faintly.

“How do you know that this powder is mixed into the water to wipe in the palace everywhere” the emperor heard, his eyes sank, this is not good, if it is true, that if someone intends to murder him, is not also the opportunity to mix the poison into the water stained in the palace!

Mu Zi Yan continued, “Bring the people in.”

“Yes.” Yunxiang answered and then retreated, bringing in a palace maid in a short while.

“Your Majesty, but all the production of slippery tire powder will use a small amount of musk, and once stained with musk hands, after touching the salt water, hands will become strangely itchy, two days later will be ulcerated, yesterday, the subject woman ordered people to re-clean the palace, secretly ordered people to the water within the addition of salt water, and only her hands became red and swollen. “

Mu Zi Yan said, Yun Xiang had already forcefully lifted the courtesan’s hands, and sure enough, the ten fingers were red and swollen, and there were traces of scratching.

The emperor said in a deep voice, “Even so, then how do you prove that this powder was indeed stained in the bedchamber”

“Your Majesty, my daughter has her own method.” Mu Zi Yan continued, “Go get musk.”

“Yes.” Yun Xiang answered, and then she brought the musk.

“Your Majesty, this musk into the water is colorless, if it is into the salt water, it will change color.” MuZiYan pointed to BiYun and JinEr to come a gold basin, “JinEr gold basin is within the water, BiYun gold basin is within the brine, your majesty can order people to come forward to identify.”

“Zhang Xi go and take a look.” When the emperor saw that Mu Zi Yan was well prepared, his eyes flashed a bright light instead, and he turned his eyes to Zhang Xi, his tone still low.

Zhang Xi responded, stepping forward and then dipping some of the water inside the golden basin with his fingers, while then turning around and hanging his head to respond, “Your Majesty, Miss Mu is right.”

“Good, I would like to take a good look.” The emperor raised his voice.

Mu Zi Yan then let Yunxiang will be the same musk into the two gold pots, not long, will see Jin Er gold pot of musk into water, and no color, while Biyun gold pot of dark red.

“Your Majesty, yesterday the palace maid wiped the furnishings with salt water, because of the reflection, since it can not be seen, now wipe it again, Your Majesty will know at a glance.” Mu Zi Yan said and then asked Jin Er to bring over a white cloth dampened with clean water.

Yunxiang raised his hand to receive, and then walked to the side of the most conspicuous vessels on the wipe again, the emperor and the empress dowager since a smooth not smooth to watch, to be Yunxiang rubbed, then see that the vessel through the dark red, but to be blown dry, then returned to its original form.

Mu Zi Yan let Bi Yun and Jin Er wipe the other objects, the same scene appeared, this time the emperor shot up, “This person must be caught out, the palace can not tolerate this kind of insidious and cunning people”

Mu Zi Yan turned her eyes to look at the palace maid kneeling on the ground, “Your Majesty, this is the murderer.”

“Miss Mu is really sensitive, since it has been within the period to find the real killer, I have to reward.” The emperor saw Mu Zi Yan so said, heart flashed a flash of appreciation, she found the real killer, will have been handed over, and then after the investigation, is touching on the harem thing, which is not she can get involved in, therefore, Mu Zi Yan this move is undoubtedly let the emperor on her more than a few points of the other eye.

“My daughter just witnessed the situation of concubine mother’s miscarriage, her heart was a little sad, and saw some clues, this is the courage to investigate the case, and now since the real culprit is found, my daughter does not dare to claim credit.” Mu Zi Yan said with her head hanging down.
