    The corner of Mu Zi Yan’s mouth hooked up with a faint smile, raising an eyebrow as she looked at Zhang Zong, “He goes to the Imperial Tombs every now and then, where do I have the mood to go into the palace to solve a case”

    Zhang Zong lowered his eyes and agreed once he clenched his teeth, “I will think of ways to keep the Crown Prince from pestering you.”

    “Then I will enter the palace tomorrow.” Mu Zi Yan said with a smile.

    “What’s the point of entering the palace,” a clear voice came from the distance, and then Su Qinrou and Mu Lingxuan were seen walking over.

    Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly and spoke, “Since he went to investigate the case.”

    “Another big event happened in the palace,” Su Qinruo asked in disbelief.

    “Concubine Mei has slipped her pregnancy.” Mu Zi Yan continued, “The Emperor ordered the Jing Zhaoyin government office to investigate this matter thoroughly.”

    “This is not a matter of the Harem, how can we let the former dynasty meddle in it Moreover, the Harem is an important place, and as a man, wouldn’t it cause offense if Elder Zhang casually enters and leaves.” Mu Lingxuan’s eyes sunk slightly as he looked at Zhang Zong and said.

    “Therefore, I will ask Smokey to go on my behalf.” Zhang Zong said with a smile.

    “It’s just that this harem is full of people and has many eyes and ears, so it’s hard to guarantee that it won’t be discovered by someone with an ulterior motive.” Mu Lingxuan said rather worriedly.

    Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly, “Brother, feel free to rest assured that they won’t notice.”

    “You girl, it’s still good to be cautious.” Mu Lingxuan said in a low voice.

    “If it’s really discovered, I’ll also think of ways to cover it up.” Mu Zi Yan hurriedly came forward to get closer to Mu Ling Xuan, “I don’t still have you, brother.”

    “Cough.” Su Qinrou coughed as she covered her lips on the side.

    “What’s wrong with sister-in-law” Mu Zi Yan looked towards Su Qin Rou, the corner of her mouth hooked up in a meaningful smile.

    Su Qinruo raised her eyebrows and said, “Don’t you have me by your side as well”

    “It turns out that in Zoe’s heart, I cannot be compared to my sister.” Mu Lingxuan teased, still shaking his head sadly.

    Su Qin Rou’s face flushed, turning her eyes to look at Mu Zi Yan, “This is in my heart, since sister Mu is more important.”

    “Look.” Madam Lu walked over, “Eldest Miss Su is a smart one, she knows that Mu Shi Zi’s favorite is Sister Smokey, as long as she gets close to Sister Smokey, she’s still afraid that she won’t be able to make Mu Shi Zi obedient.”

    “Sister Lu, don’t tease me.” These faces of Su Qinruo turned even redder, and hurriedly stepped forward before chasing after Niangzi Lu.

    Mu Zi Yan said with a light smile, turning her eyes to look at Mu Ling Xuan, “Brother, how is Mother”

    “These days the body is heavier, the color is good.” Mu Lingxuan returned in a warm voice, looking Mu Ziyan up and down, “I’ve already heard father talk about what happened in Funan.”

    “Brother knows that now that mountain is already mine” Mu Zi Yan tilted her head and said proudly.

    “En.” Mu Lingxuan nodded, “What are you using that mountain for”

    “Build an estate.” Mu Zi Yan looked at him and said, “The same as the hot spring manor that.”

    “Funan has excellent terrain, it would be nice to build an estate there, you even bought the hot springs in the back, I think you had this plan early on.”

    “En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded her head and responded, “When the time comes, we will let Mother bring her younger brother to live there for a while, so we can also accompany Father.”

    “You girl.” Mu Lingxuan raised his hand and pinched her nose, saying faintly, “It’s better to be cautious and careful when entering the palace.”

    “Yes.” Mu Zi Yan hurriedly responded obediently, winking playfully at Mu Lingxuan.

    “Sister Mu, I’m also going.” Su Qinrou hurriedly turned around and marched to Mu Ziyan’s side and said.

    “You go or not.” Mu Zi Yan then said, “Yi concubine that I heard that these days almost recuperated, although the emperor favors Mei concubine, but to Yi concubine did not cold.”

    “It’s not too bad.” Su Qinrou said as she looked at Mu Zi Yan.

    “Then tomorrow you come to the government office to find me.” Mu Zi Yan looked at Su Qin Rou and said, “Can you remember what to call me”

    “Second Miss Lu.” Su Qinrou smiled and answered.

    “Right.” Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly, “Don’t call it the wrong thing.”

    “Good.” Su Qinruo nodded her head in a hurry, then said, “Dare I ask Second Miss Lu, what can I prepare”

    “You just need to go to concubine Yi’s Liuyun Palace.” Mu Zi Yan said indifferently.

    “Yes.” Su Qinrou was clear that she went to the palace to pay her respects to concubine Yi, and happened to run into her, so she made an appointment to go to the palace together.

    Mu Lingxuan and Su Qinruo sat for a little while, then left the Beijing Zhaoyin government office together, Mu Ziyan looked at the silhouettes of the two of them, and the corner of her mouth hooked up with a faint smile, “It’s a good match.”

    “Mei concubine that place you have ideas,” Niangzi Lu looked at Mu Zi Yan and asked in a low voice.

    “There is Yunfei favored in the front, Mei concubine after being favored do not know to restrain, in the palace since offended a lot of mothers, she slipped the fetus can not blame the other side.” Mu Zi Yan said faintly.

    “That’s a good point.” Niangzi Lu was very agreeable, this Mei concubine’s virtue in the harem is more or less known, after all, no one is blind or deaf, although people are red is right and wrong, but some people always like to publicize.

    Mu Zi Yan shook her head and said, “Her favor doesn’t last long, compared to Consort Yun, it’s more than a star and a half worse.”

    “I’ve heard that the reason why concubine Mei is favored is because her looks have an aura similar to the Empress.” Niang Lu said as she looked at Mu Zi Yan.

    “It seems that the Emperor is afraid that he will favor Concubine Mei more than Concubine Yun.” Mu Zi Yan laughed coldly before raising her eyes to look at her, “Sister Lu, I think there will be some twists and turns this time in the palace.”

    “The ups and downs are the trouble, when has there been peace and quiet in this harem, just the hustle and bustle that you hear outside, you can tell a book about it.” Lu niangzi laughed lowly and said, “you this girl, if not smart and resourceful, where can I still see you nowadays in a good place”

    “Many thanks to Sister Lu for the compliment.” Mu Zi Yan hurriedly blessed herself and said.

    “I remember the first time I saw you, the lady of the chamber, but can not panic in a crisis, and did not cry like the side of the delicate lady, but let me impressed, only feel with you to the fate, now you and I get along for so long, in turn, really will be you as a real sister.” Niangzi Lu held Mu Zi Yan’s hand, “I only hope that you will have fewer disasters in this life, and be happy and well.”

    “When we drive away this group of cow ghosts and snakes, we will be happy since we will be happy.” Mu Zi Yan, however, does not feel hard work, to be able to personally put an end to all the grudges of her past life, and from the chess piece to the person who executes the chess, she then feels that her re-life has not been wasted.

    “Good, I don’t have any other skills, but I can take care of you for a while.” Niangzi Lu gently patted the back of her hand, “What to bring tomorrow, you tell me, I will prepare myself.”

    “Sister.” Mu Zi Yan was grateful to the heavens, after all, after she was reborn, her parents were well, her brother had found true happiness, and she was surrounded by many more people who loved and cared for her, which was something she had extravagantly hoped for in her previous life but never had.

    Mu Zi Yan went forward and gave Niangzi Lu a hug, she was not a pretentious person, but at this moment she was pretentious enough to rub herself in Niangzi Lu’s arms, resuming her dainty manner as a daughter.

    When Niangzi Lu looked at her like this, she knew that she must have endured things in her heart that ordinary people could not bear, as for what, she was afraid that only she herself knew.

    Often, when you always will all the sadness and pain alone to bear, to the stomach, then you just gradually become strong, strong enough to let the people around you because of their own become happy, rather than because of their own and become painful and unfortunate.

    Mu Zi Yan does not feel bitter, but feel full of contentment, when you long for, have never had, at the moment have, that is happiness, only to feel that the suffering endured before has been nothing.

    The saying that those who are satisfied are always happy is probably true.

    Zhang Zong had already burrowed into his study at the moment, thinking about how he could stop the Crown Prince from traveling to the Imperial Tombs, and after meditating for the whole night, he was unable to find a solution.

    When he came out of the study the next day with his head hanging down, he saw that Mu Zi Yan had also just come out and was preparing to go to the palace.

    “What’s wrong,” Niangzi Lu asked in a low voice, looking at the dark green under his eyes and his sad face.

    “Smokey, why don’t you simply tell me the method.” Zhang Zong looked at Mu Zi Yan and scratched his head.

    Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly and said, “I remember that this day, Brother Zhang is going to make a trip to the Liang Wang Mansion.”

    “En.” Zhang Zong nodded his head and responded.

    “The Sixth Princess’ period of confinement has expired, she has always been friendly with County Lord Lin’an, and it just so happens that she is also going to the Liang Wang Mansion this day.” Mu Zi Yan said faintly, “If Brother Zhang unintentionally mentioned that the Crown Prince always leaves the capital and travels to the Imperial Tomb, what do you think the Sixth Princess will do”

    “If the Sixth Princess knew about it, she would definitely look into it, and since she is now dissatisfied with you, she will definitely report this matter to the Empress Dowager.” Zhang Zong pondered for a moment and said slowly.

    “Yes.” Mu Zi Yan nodded and responded, “What if the Empress Dowager knows about this”

    “Then the crown prince can no longer go to the mausoleum.” Zhang Zong now finally understand Mu Zi Yan yesterday’s words is what it means, this is considered a sigh of relief, “you yesterday’s explanation is, why bother me all night it”

    Niangzi Lu raised her eyes to Zhang Zong, “Pay attention to the wording.”

    Zhang Zong was visibly stunned, “A slip of the tongue.”

    “Big Brother Zhang’s nature nowadays is getting more and more lively.” Mu Zi Yan faintly raised her eyebrows and turned her eyes to look at Niangzi Lu, “I wonder when I can marry Sister Lu and get married”

    “This is also only if she responds.” Zhang Zong to Lu Niangzi’s heart is already known to everyone, this two people although one is a Beijing Zhaoyin, one is a coroner, sister living in the back hall, however, the people did not insult them with obscenities, since they know that the Iron Mask Judge is selfless, since they will not make that kind of thing to the men who steal from the women to the women who are prostitutes, and for the Lv Niangzi’s behavior, but also since it is clear, so there is not too much to say about this matter hair.

    Mu Zi Yan saw Lv Niangzi’s eyes flashed a flash of gloom, she had captured it, thinking that in her previous life, Lv Niangzi must have been hiding a secret before she had to leave, and what was this secret?

    She didn’t want this life’s duo to repeat the tragedy of the last, her eyes narrowed slightly, it seemed she had to do something about it.

    Not long after, they saw Su Qinruo rushing to the palace, so the three of them entered the palace together, while Zhang Zong went to the Liang Wang Mansion.

    Mu Zi Yan sat inside the carriage, seeing Su Qin Rou constantly sizing herself up, her eyes slightly raised, “What are you looking at me for”

    “Second Miss Lu, you do look like Sister Lu.” Su Qinru said in a low voice, “I heard that Concubine Mei and the Empress have a seven percent resemblance, do you think there are really people in the world who have such a resemblance?”

    “There have been since.” Mu Zi Yan whispered, “There is nothing strange in the world.”

    “No wonder.” Su Qinrou lowered her eyes, “His Majesty treats Concubine Mei better than Concubine Yun.”

    Mu Zi Yan tilted her head and sized up Su Qin Rou, “What’s going on this day”

    “But was just thinking that the women in the harem are really pathetic.” Su Qinruo said quietly.

    “That depends on what they are asking for.” Mu Zi Yan looked at Su Qin Rou, “Look at this, which one in this deep house doesn’t have three wives and four concubines”

    Su Qinruo answered in a low voice, “That’s true.”

    “You just need to keep your heart and treat someone well.” Mu Zi Yan stared at Su Qin Rou and said, “Brother will not take a concubine.”

    “I know.” Su Qinruo was aware that Mu Lingxuan was not a person who coveted beauty, which was why she had moved on to him in the first place.

    Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to look at Niangzi Lu, and then said, “People in this world, ah, often always know how to cherish only after they have lost, but they don’t know that when happiness is at their heels, it’s the most important thing to hold on to it firmly.”

    “You girl, this is not preaching,” Niangzi Lu interrupted her with a smile, and then said, “But you’re right, no matter what you do, you must keep your heart.”

    Su Qinrou only felt that the atmosphere was a bit off, and was about to open her mouth when the carriage had already stopped, and after the three of them entered the palace, Su Qinrou went to the Liuyun Palace by herself, while Mu Ziyan and Niangzi Lu went to the Meilan Palace.

    Concubine Mei was currently lying on the bed to recuperate her body, when she heard the palace maid outside say that Niangzi Lu and Erniang Lu had come, her eyes flashed with a flash of ghostly light and she said in a low voice, “Just the two of them.”

    “Together with Miss Su, they entered the palace together, but Miss Su went to see Empress Yi Concubine.” The palace maid whispered.

    “Pass them in.” Concubine Mei’s breath was a bit weak, so she spoke with a hint of tenderness, making people listen to her and only feel more pity for her.

    Mu Zi Yan and Empress Lu entered the palace together, and when they traveled outside of the bedchamber, the two of them respectfully saluted, “My Lady has met the Empress.”

    “The two of you have come for the matter of this palace’s slipped fetus” Mei Concubine asked blandly.

    “Reporting back to the empress, exactly.” Mu Zi Yan lowered her eyes and answered, only to feel that this bedchamber was filled with a light fragrance, which was extremely comfortable to smell, but vaguely carried a few points of psychedelia.

    Mu Zi Yan’s eyes flashed with a flash of ghostly light, then she saw Mei Concubine continue to speak, “Even so, the two of you just make yourself at home.”

    “Yes.” When Mu Zi Yan saw that Concubine Mei was so cold and didn’t have the pain and sadness or anger after losing her fetus, she knew that she was afraid that Concubine Mei knew that her fetus wouldn’t be able to be preserved early on.

    She followed the palace maid out of the chambers and traveled outside the palace to survey the surroundings, and then the two of them left the palace together.

    Zhang Zong came back, coincidentally, Mu Zi Yan and Lv Niangzi is also out of the palace, they waited outside the palace Su Qin Rou, to be three people went to the Beijing Zhaoyin government office together, they saw Zhang Zong face is quite serious.

    “It looks rather like something happened to the Liang Wangfu.” Mu Zi Yan looked at him and said.

    “Your cousin, is the second young master of the Mu family, now lives in the cool king’s mansion, and with the Lin’an county princess has skin, now Lin’an county princess is pregnant, no, this day but found that he and Lin’an county princess in front of the maidservant to hang out, was caught in the right place, Lin’an county princess in a fit of rage will be the maidservant to kill, fainted on the spot.” Zhang Zong then said, “I went to see this scene, this is the royal family scandal, if it is leaked out, the cool king will certainly come to seek my trouble.”

    “But you saw it with your own eyes” Mu Zi Yan felt that this kind of being caught red-handed on the spot, how to look at it is not like Mu Ling Rui can do out of things.

    “En.” Zhang Zong remembered the situation at the moment and was a bit uncomfortable, whispering, “In broad daylight, you don’t know how to restrain yourself.”

    “Then how did Mu Ling Rui react” Mu Zi Yan asked in a low voice.

    “He froze and didn’t react since, and after that maidservant was stabbed to death on the spot, he hurriedly knelt down to beg for County Lord Lin’an.” Zhang Zong was quite ashamed of this behavior of Mu Ling Rui.

    When Mu Ziyan saw Zhang Zong’s look, she knew that he must have thought that all the men of the Marquis’ residence had backbone, and that even if they stole food, they didn’t have to kneel down and beg for forgiveness.

    “He is not a member of the Mu Family.” Mu Zi Yan said in a cold voice, “How does this kind of virtue deserve to be a member of the Mu family”

    Zhang Zong nodded his head repeatedly, “It doesn’t look like it to me either.”

    “You can stop here on this matter, his affairs are not ready to be cleaned up today.” Mu Zi Yan said in a deep voice, “Concubine Mei’s child was aborted by herself.”

    “What” Zhang Zong’s eyes were slightly cold, “Why did she do that”

    “There is a medicine in the harem that allows you to get pregnant after taking it, but although the fetus grows along with the mother, it is a stillborn, and Concubine Mei was afraid of keeping the child, which is why she aborted it early.” Mu Zi Yan said in a low voice.

    “Then how should this matter be reported to the Emperor” Zhang Zong said as he looked at Mu Zi Yan.

    “That kind of medicine flavor is very heavy, so when taking it will leave a breath, in the slip of the fetus is even more volatile, Mei concubine just a few days ago slip of the fetus, this day I was in the Meilan Palace will smell the smell, and the day Zhong Hui slip of the fetus when the head of the house the same breath.” Mu Zi Yan looked at him and said, “Report this matter truthfully.”

    “His Majesty does not believe it since.” Zhang Zong whispered.

    “You hand this medicine to the emperor, the emperor will figure it out.” Mu Zi Yan said and took that medicine out, “This is what I had sister Su seek concubine Yi to bring in the palace.”

    “Rather.” Zhang Zong raised his hand to receive it, knowing how to report back.

    At that moment, Zhang Zong entered the palace, and then handed the porcelain vase to the emperor, and then he excused himself and left the palace.

    The emperor turned his eyes to Zhang Xi, “Go and check.”

    “Yes.” Zhang Xi answered, and then he took it with both hands, and half an hour later, news came.

    “Your Majesty, this thing,” Zhang Xi whispered back with downcast eyes.

    “Rather a ruthless one.” The emperor’s eyes narrowed slightly as he said in a cold voice, “Deal with Concubine Mei.”

    “Yes.” Zhang Xi answered with his head hanging down, and then he retreated.

    That night came the news of Mei concubine’s violent death, Mu Zi Yan is now leisurely eating snacks, then saw Zhang Zong frowning, seemingly preoccupied.

    “Don’t worry, you didn’t say anything, the Emperor will not kill you since.” Mu Zi Yan said faintly, and then handed a look to the Zhang Staffer who was watching from the side.

    Chapter Staffer smiled and put down his tea, “Cousin Ziyan is right, this matter will certainly not involve you.”
