Chapter 127 – Cousin Zhu’s Disfigurement (Second Shift) (2 / 2)

“By the way, why did that Big Miss Lei target you this day” Su Qinruo asked in disbelief.

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyebrows and whispered, “I don’t know.”

“Yes, she has never interacted with outsiders, low-key, very rarely see her so acerbic and mean, I do not know what is going on today,” Hou Yi Yi also followed and said.

“The Lei family has always kept a low profile and is closer to the Blue family.” Qi Xue’er looked at Mu Zi Yan, “Could it be because of the Blue Family”

“Should not be.” Mu Zi Yan shook her head and said, “What is the reason for this fit, I’m afraid only she knows.”

“I heard that it’s almost time for the Crown Prince to choose a Crown Princess.” Su Qin Rou whispered, “I heard father say that the Emperor’s favorite is Great Miss Lei.”

“She reached maturity at the beginning of the year, and has never been married.” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly, remembering that in her previous life, the Lei family’s eldest Miss Lei Ruyan did become a Crown Princess, however, it was a short-lived one, the big marriage only lasted for a year before she went.

Mu Zi Yan knows that in her previous life into the family temple of three years, outside a lot of things happened, it seems that all the situation reversal is in these three years, and when she came out, many things have become fixed, and she is just a chess piece to promote the general situation forward.

Then, she was reborn at this time, a lot of things also have to change along with her push as well, her eyes narrowed, Lei Ruyan exactly how to die it here is afraid that there is a secret that is not known.

“It seems to have been settled, if she becomes the Crown Princess, then into the Mingyue Academy will not be able to get married in a big way” Su Qinrou asked in a low voice.

Qi Xue’er couldn’t help but laugh when she saw that Su Qinrou was still thinking about this matter, “Haha first cousin, your future sister-in-law is also too impatient.”

Hou Yi Yi followed suit and laughed, “Sister Xue’er was just teasing you when she said that.”

“What,” Su Qinruo was obviously stunned, followed by a burst of embarrassment, raising her eyes to Qi Xue’er, “Unexpectedly, even you have learned to be bad.”

Qi Xue’er, however, laughed so hard that she almost passed her back, turning her eyes to Hou Yi Yi, “I didn’t expect her to take it seriously, it’s really too funny.”

Hou Yi Yi followed with a cheerful laugh since, and even the corners of Mu Zi Yan’s mouth were hooked in a smile.

Su Qinrui was so angry that she stomped her feet dryly and raised her eyes to look at them, “You guys”

Mu Zi Yan looked up at her, “I thought my brother would tell you.”

“He,” Su Qinrou then pondered carefully, “seems to have said that.”

“Look, since Mu Shizi said that, how could you still take it seriously” Hou Yi Yi couldn’t help but tease her.

“This,” Su Qinruo said rather aggrieved, “where did I think carefully at that time.”

“Oh.” Mu Zi Yan since heard the difference, “What did you do at that time can not allow you to think about it.”

“Didn’t do anything,” Su Qinrou’s small face was even more red, and then turned her back, her eyes flashing.

Qi Xue’er and Hou Yi Yi glanced at each other, and the two of them got up and went towards Su Qinruo to scratch, which was even more lively.

While this place was full of merriment, there were dark clouds inside the Mu Hou Mansion.

After the old lady of Pingxi County entered the courtyard, she ordered people to go to the old lady before the Zhang doctor to find over, Zhu Yue rolled down when the whole face down, so now the whole face was scratched, to be Zhang doctor to see after, sighed, “Miss cousin this face is ruined, even if it heals in the future, but also left a scar.”

“What,” Old Lady Pingxi County’s eyes flashed with coldness, and she said in a deep voice, “What else?”

“The left leg is fractured, and I’m afraid I’ll limp when I walk in the future.” Dr. Zhang said this and then went to write a prescription.

Zhu Cong got the news and rushed over, then he saw Old Lady Pingxi County frozen in place with a face full of anger, he rushed forward, “Grandmother.”

“Your sister is ruined.” Old Lady Pingxi County said quietly, her eyes shooting out killing intent, “I will make sure that Mu Zi Yan’s life is worse than death.”

“Grandmother don’t worry, my grandson will definitely take out this bad anger for my sister.” Zhu Cong’s eyes narrowed and he said in a cold voice.

“En.” Old Lady Pingxi County nodded her head and responded, lifting her steps and entering the inner room.

Zhu Yue woke up quietly, not caring about anything else, he hurriedly raised his hand to touch his face, “Grandmother, Yue’er’s face”

“You and get well.” Half of Old Lady Pingxi County’s hopes were dashed.

Zhu Yue looked down at his legs that could not move, “Grandmother, Yue’er’s legs.”

“Miss, you can’t move around.” Old Sister stepped forward and hurriedly pacified, “If you move around, this leg will really be ruined.”

“I,” Zhu Yue was too scared to move, raising his eyes to Old Lady Ping Xi County, “Grandmother, what exactly happened to Yue’er”

“Yue’er ah, get well, everything is with me.” Old Lady Binh Xi County said.

“En.” Zhu Yue’s fear was born inside, but he didn’t dare to think wildly, just quietly closed his eyes, hoping that this was all a dream when he woke up from sleep.

Old Lady Pingxi County turned to look at Zhu Gravel, “The plan goes on as usual.”

“Grandmother don’t worry, my grandson has arranged everything.” Zhu Cong said in a low voice.

“Good.” Old Lady Pingxi County nodded her head in response.

Qi was informed of the news, but sent Sister Cui to send the tonic over, and the old lady of Pingxi County did not get angry, nor did she make any noise, but received it lightly.

Sister Cui felt that this aunt’s move was too calm, but instead it made her uneasy.

To return to the Ji Yue courtyard, reported to Qi, Qi’s brows knit, “uneasy good intentions.”

“But be careful, ma’am,” Sister Cui asked carefully.

“Send someone to keep an eye on it, and tell Smokey to be careful there.” Qi whispered.

“Yes.” Sister Cui answered and then retreated to Smokefall Courtyard.

Mu Zi Yan had just returned, Bi Yun hurriedly greeted her, “Eldest Miss, how come this aunt didn’t make a scene”

“Not normal.” Mu Zi Yan whispered, “I’m tired.”

“Yes.” Bi Yun hurriedly raised her hand to remove the outer covering from her body, and then immediately removed all the Zhu Hairpin jewelry from her head.

Yun Xiang came with hot water, and after Mu Zi Yan purified her hands, she leaned back on the soft couch.

“How is the border,” Mu Zi Yan asked indifferently.

“The Fifth Prince has been hit by an arrow.” Yun Xiang raised her eyes and looked at Mu Zi Yan and said in a low voice.

“When,” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes moved slightly, her mind pondering, Jun Qian Yu has really been hit by an arrow!

“Three days ago.” Rueyang then handed her the secret letter.

Mu Zi Yan raised her hand to receive it, and after looking at it, her eyes flashed with a ghostly light, “There was no poison on that arrow, but the loss of blood led to unconsciousness.”

“Eldest Miss, this border is unsettled.” Yunxiang followed suit and became worried.

“Wait a little longer.” Mu Zi Yan said faintly.

“Eldest Miss, Sister Cui is here.” Bi Yun reported at this moment.

“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded slightly.

Sister Cui entered the inner room and bowed respectfully, “Eldest Miss, madam asked the old slave to come here to ask you to be careful.”

“I know.” Mu Zi Yan looked at Sister Cui, “Mother is well.”

“Spirits have gotten better in the past few days.” Sister Cui answered in a low voice.

Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly and said, “But it’s better to pay attention.”

“Old slave took note.” Sister Cui answered and then retreated.

Mu Ziyan waited for Sister Cui to leave before raising her eyes to look at Yunxiang, “Send someone to keep an eye on that part of the Jiyue Courtyard.”

“Yes.” Yunxiang answered, “Eldest Miss, Third Miss’s place has not been too peaceful these past few days.”

“Let her make a scene.” Mu Zi Yan hooked her lips in a light smile, “When the time comes, maybe we can still help.”

“Eldest Miss, Bai Xuan has arrived.” Yun Xiang hung her head and reported, then retreated.

Bai Xuan entered and arched his hand, “Master.”

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

“Back to my lord, the Duke has sent you a secret letter.” Bai Xuan then presented the secret letter with both hands.

Mu Zi Yan raised her hand to receive it, and after reading it, “He told me not to go to the border”

“Exactly.” Bai Xuan hung his head and responded, “The Prince is still in the Northern Qing Dynasty Palace, perhaps he has gotten some news, and the Prince said that you should just stay in the capital.”

“When is he going to come back” Mu Zi Yan looked at Bai Xuan and asked.

“My subordinate doesn’t know either, but judging by the situation, it won’t be coming back anytime soon.” Bai Xuan whispered, “Master, a group of experts have entered the capital in the past few days.”

“Masters,” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly, “Who deployed them?”

“It’s now encamped outside Marquis Mu’s residence.” Bai Xuan looked at Mu Zi Yan and asked, “Is it possible to clear”

“Keep an eye on it first.” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes shot out a cold light as she said in a deep voice, “Do not startle the snakes.”

“Yes.” Bai Xuan hung his head and answered, then retreated.

Mu Zi Yan stared at the secret letter in her hand, but she didn’t know what Chu Ye’s intentions were for staying in the Northern Qing Kingdom

She mused for a moment, “Rue.”

“Eldest Miss.” Yun Xiang entered the inner room and answered with her head hanging down.

“I won’t be going out of the mansion for a few days, so tell your brother to be careful going in and out.” Mu Zi Yan looked at her and said, “Also send a message to Miss Su.”

“Yes.” Yun Xiang answered and then retreated.

This day passed without incident, until two days later, Zhu Yue knew that his appearance has been destroyed, the future is even more difficult to move, on the spot will lose their minds, in the house head fussing up.

The old lady of Pingxi County was heartbroken, but now she didn’t want her to make such a fuss, she walked forward and raised her hand to give Zhu Yue a slap, “How much longer do you want to make a fuss?”

“Grandmother,” Zhu Yue looked up at her incredulously.

“Does crying help,” Old Lady Pingxi County asked in a cold voice.

Zhu Yue slowly lowered his eyes, hated Mu Zi Yan to the bone, if she was the one who fell down at that time, he wouldn’t have gotten himself into this state, all of this is to blame for Mu Zi Yan.

The old lady of Pingxi County saw her calm down and said, “Don’t worry, grandmother will definitely find a way to let your appearance return to its original state, if you continue to make trouble like this, do you still want to lose this leg?”

“Grandmother,” Zhu Yue gritted his teeth and hardened his tears, lifting his eyes to look at Old Lady Pingxi County, “Grandmother can give Yue’er a decision ah.”

“Don’t worry, I have it in mind.” Old Lady Pingxi County whispered.

“En.” Zhu Yue nodded, his eyes overflowing with hatred.

Mu Zi Yan was free these two days, Zhong Xuan had no time to deal with her these days, all her thoughts were on the matter of recruiting, and the Mu Marquis House was busy with the marriage of the Fourth Princess and Mu Qing Lin these days, instead, the big house was the most leisurely.

News came again from the border, Yun Xiang looked embarrassed, “Eldest Miss, the Fifth Prince”

“En,” Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to her.

“The Fifth Prince is unconscious, and now Corner Gate Town is guarded by Second Master Qi.” Yun Xiang carefully reported.

“So serious” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes flashed with a flash of ghostly light, obviously froze, and then said, “What exactly is going on”

“The Fifth Prince went into battle with an injury and his wound got infected, that’s why,” Yun Xiang said with her eyes downcast.

“He is” Mu Zi Yan can not help but have some doubts up, if it is true, that, as in his previous life, he died in battle, and the corner of the town later by the second uncle to guard, and then this is not the blame of all the blame in the second uncle’s body!

Mu Zi Yan’s eyes were slightly cold, “Nowadays, even if I rush to the border, it won’t help.”

“Eldest Miss, the fifth prince here the emperor also already knows, the empress dowager even fainted on the spot after learning about it.” Yunxiang raised her eyes to see Mu Zi Yan’s grave expression, and her heart sank with it.

Mu Zi Yan rubbed her brow, “Is it true or not”

“Eldest Miss, there are people from the palace.” Bi Yun came forward and said.

“Come on man,” Mu Zi Yan was first stunned, then she got up, “Go.”

“Eldest Miss, now that the palace is coming, could it be that you are being asked to go to Yongshou Palace before entering the palace” Yunxiang, however, guessed and carefully inquired.

“Ten.” Mu Zi Yan nodded in response.

As expected, the palace is really pass Mu Ziyan into the palace, to be her into the Yongshou Palace, will see Princess Yuehua stood aside with a heavy face, see her to come, whispered, “The empress dowager because of the fifth prince, worried, you and go to persuade.”

“Yes.” Mu Zi Yan answered with her head hanging down, then she carried her foot to the phoenix couch and respectfully knelt down, “Subject daughter, see the empress dowager.”

“So it’s Smoke girl ah.” The empress dowager looks at Mu Zi Yan, slowly props up her body, “Smoke girl, Yu’er had an accident, I am anxious, now I see you, but also remembered that Yu’er that child said to me before leaving, I want you to go to the border on behalf of my family how to go.”

“My daughter obeys the decree.” Mu Zi Yan did not refute, but hung her head and answered, she would have had the intention to go to the border, but now she is in the capital, every word and deed is in the eyes of the onlookers, if she suddenly left and appeared at the border, was caught by the onlookers, by then the Mu Houfu will follow the disaster, and now since it is the Empress Dowager’s imperial decree, she can go to the border in a dignified manner.

“Good, good.” The empress dowager did not expect Mu Zi Yan to agree so quickly, just now also worried and godless eyes are now overflowing with love, raised her hand and touched her slender hand, “You prepare for something, tomorrow will move it.”

“Yes.” Mu Zi Yan obediently responded, and when she was out of the palace, the corner of her mouth hooked up into a light smile.

The border she must go, one can go to find out the truth of grandfather left behind, the second is also can quietly Jun Qianyu actually have what scheme, but also can visit grandfather, so think, her heart also more than a few points of hope.

“Eldest Miss, this trip to the border will take at least a month, can the Fifth Prince last until then” Yun Xiang said a treacherous word.

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to look at her, “She will be able to arrive in half a month.”

“Ah,” Yun Xiang looked at Mu Zi Yan, her eyes overflowing with surprise.

“Tomorrow the empress dowager will definitely send her own guards to escort me, the empress dowager is not really letting me go to the border to visit the fifth prince, but in order to do it to the crown prince and the third prince.” Mu Zi Yan said in a low voice, “When I leave the capital tomorrow in a carriage, you let Hidden One prepare the horses and we’ll take a shortcut to get there.”

“Slave girl understands.” Yunxiang answered in a low voice and then went to order.

Bi Yun looked at Mu Zi Yan, “Eldest Miss, what about the mansion? I’m afraid that the Fourth Princess wedding won’t be able to catch up.”

“This kind of hustle and bustle is not to be seen, you and don’t worry, I’m not to be seen, but I will also arrange a good show.” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly and she sneered.

“Eldest Miss, the slave girl instead wants to look forward to going to the border.” Bi Yun said with a light smile.

“This journey is full of crises, I won’t be able to protect you when the time comes, so look after yourself.” Mu Zi Yan looked at Bi Yun and said with a straight face.

“The slave girl will protect the eldest young miss by herself.” Bi Yun hurriedly responded.

Mu Zi Yan saw her like this, light smile, “light travel, prepare some dry food and change of clothes is, we still wear men’s clothing.”

“Yes.” Bi Yun answered, because of the experience from the last time, this time around, she would since prepare more thoroughly.

Mu Zi Yan then also no more words, to be back to the Marquis of Mu, the Empress Dowager’s decree since also passed over.

For Pingxi County old lady is like a bolt from the blue, it is not easy to plan everything, just waiting for Mu Zi Yan hook, now the Empress Dowager a decree, will be her plan completely disrupted.

“Grandmother, if the Empress Dowager decrees that she should leave the capital and head to the border at this time, then wouldn’t the plan from early in the morning be in vain” Zhu Cong whispered.

“In that case, let her have no return.” Old Lady Pingxi County said in a deep voice.

“What grandmother means is” Zhu Cong raised his eyes to look at her and continued, “she is escorted by the guards sent by the Empress Dowager herself, so it will not be easy for her to get her hands on her, in case she is exposed at that time”

“The tree attracts the wind, want to let her die not only me.” Old Lady Pingxi County coldly said, “and wait, you just send people to secretly watch is, there will be someone will be the first to strike, at that time, you just order people to secretly help.”

“Grandson understands.” Zhu Cong’s eyes flashed with a flash of ghostly light, then he turned around and left the house to make his own arrangements.

After Mu Zi Yan received the decree, she went to the State Duke’s residence, traveling to the border, since she was able to see her maternal grandfather, and thought that the State Duke’s old lady must have something to say, so she went there in person.

Duke of the country old lady saw Mu Zi Yan came, since it is happy, at that moment will she embrace in the arms, “Smoke girl, this way but be careful ah, the empress dowager let you go to the border, is not simple.”
