Chapter 145 – Old Lady’s Illness (Second Shift) (1 / 2)

Mu Zi Yan coldly laughed, “In the eyes of the emperor, there is only how to ensure that he can sit firmly in the position, and not be shaken, if the third prince and the crown prince to maintain the same between, or which party has too much power, for him is not good, the beautiful name, is to give the crown prince, the future Crown Prince some test just.”

“A test,” Zhang Zong snorted coldly, “This test pays a really big price.”

“So nowadays, you should be more careful and cautious, and never get involved.” Mu Zi Yan said in a low voice.

Zhang Zong nodded and responded, “Good.”

“Yes, some kind of agreement must have been reached between the Liang King and the Blue Family, and the Emperor doesn’t know if he is aware of the connection, Concubine Yun is very smart, but unfortunately, now that she has someone she cares about, who happens to be restrained by the Emperor, the situation becomes different, and Lan Xin’er thinks that she is the real head of the Blue Family.” Mu Zi Yan said faintly.

“You’re saying that Lan Xin’er is the head of the Blue Family” Zhang Zong now felt even more puzzled, “What the hell is going on here”

“I can’t say for sure, I only feel that the Blue Family seems to be different from what it looks like on the surface, and Lan Xin’er always has an evil aura about her, an evil aura that’s hidden with the gloom and darkness and deliberately suppressed.” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly and said in a low voice.

“It seems that the capital’s changing winds and clouds are getting more and more confusing nowadays.” Zhang Zong sighed quietly.

“The more confusing the situation is, the better, not being able to see through it, the people who are watching will not be able to easily make a move, which will give me the opportunity to prepare and counterattack.” Mu Zi Yan said faintly.

“Smokey, what do you want to do,” Zhang Zong asked as he looked at her.

“You, I’m all pawns in this chess game.” Mu Zi Yan hooked her lips and smiled coldly, “These people in power play with power, only thinking of reaching their own goals, where do they care about you and me I’m not willing to be a chess piece.”

“You girl is not small in ambition.” Zhang Zong didn’t find it strange, instead, he smiled and teased.

Mu Zi Yan look indifferent, but it is permeated with a sense of desolation, after experiencing the mortal events, see through the silence of the world, she exudes a layer of hazy mist around her, can not see through her true heart, but also can not enter her heart.

Perhaps, what she showed to them was her true self, or maybe it was an illusion, but still, she skillfully hid her truest inner self, which was an infinite power that was not easy to touch.

“I just don’t like to be treated as a pawn, even if I have to do it, I have to be the one who holds the chess piece.” She put down the teacup in her hand and said with a light smile, “Big Brother Zhang may think that I am not self-important”

“No.” Zhang Zong shook his head, “In time, you will definitely be able to accomplish things.”

“Many thanks for the praise, Big Brother Zhang.” Mu Zi Yan smiled knowingly at Zhang Zong, calling it understanding.

Zhang Zong also followed a smile, the two seem to have reached some kind of consensus between them, that is, no matter what happens, Zhang Zong will definitely stand in her place, and for the emperor, for the third prince or the crown prince, or the cool king and so on, he Zhang Zong will not be swayed.

What Mu Zi Yan wanted was such a promise from Zhang Zong, she raised her cup and replaced the wine with tea, “I toast to big brother Zhang.”

“Good.” Zhang Zong also raised his cup cheerfully, and the two of them poured it down together.

Niangzi Lu looked at the duo in front of her, her eyes flashed with relief before she fell silent.

The Blue Family sent to assassinate the officials failed, but instead was bitten back by the Third Prince, and on top of the court, Jun Qian Hao even took out the evidence that the Blue Family had sent people to assassinate the officials, and the officials who had been assassinated all knelt down on the main hall.

And at this time, between the third prince and the crown prince is considered to be the beginning of the first head-to-head, in the people of the courtroom, the two emperors because of the cloud consort argued red in the face, the emperor is sitting on the dragon chair, cold-eyed.

Concubine Yun is currently teasing the twelfth prince, and after hearing the servant girl’s report, she lightly smiled, “The third prince’s pose is quite good.”

“Mistress.” The maidservant asked carefully from the sidelines, “The rack”

“En,” Concubine Yun handed the twelfth prince to Sister Milk and slowly got up, “Put it down, if the crown prince can’t even keep this palace alive, then there’s no need for him to live.”

“Your Highness, this is a letter from Second Miss.” The servant girl handed her the letterhead in her hand.

Concubine Yun raised her hand to receive it, and after reading it, she then smiled, “Let her go ahead and toss it around.”

“Yes.” The maidservant answered with her head hanging down.

Concubine Yun’s eyes flashed with a flash of ghostly light, and that holy and elegant face was now coated with a layer of black mist, making people unable to see through her mind.

Obviously, this matter is also unsettled, after the next dynasty, the crown prince took the lead out of the Golden Palace, the corner of his mouth hooked up a cold smile.

The third prince is not willing to show weakness, until the two left to follow the officials but a head of cold sweat, only to feel that the crown prince and the third prince to engage in too early.

Zhang Zong since the emperor went to the Palace of Government, will steal the dragon robe back to the emperor, now there is no clue and trace.

The emperor since reprimanded Zhang Zong, ordered him to continue to investigate thoroughly, Zhang Zong received the decree, and then retired, when the palace.

Inside the government office of Beijing Zhaoyin, Mu Ziyan has been practicing her internal strength these days, and then learning medicine along with Dr. Jin, she has grown a lot since then.

Straight wait until after half a month, Mu Zi Yan went to the Divine Doctor door, and steal the matter of the dragon robe will be shelved again and again, whenever the emperor asked, Zhang Zong can only look down and not say anything, and then asked for a decree of condemnation, and every time the emperor was reprimanded, and in the end there is no more news.

Inside the Divine Healer Sect, Mu Zi Yan stood on the ridge of a field looking out over the distant rolling green hills, the sound of trickling water came from her ears, the birds with colorful feathers that suddenly flew down, and occasionally she could hear a few hissing noises of the beasts in the mountains, she squinted her eyes slightly and enjoyed this moment of tranquility to the fullest.

Ming Qing walked over and stood at her side, “Smokey, you’ve gotten a lot lighter on your feet these past few days.”

“En, there has been some growth.” Mu Zi Yan turned her eyes to look at Ming Qing, then she sat down and continued, “Ming Qing can go out”

“Since I entered the door, I have not gone out.” Ming Qing also followed and sat down, the climate in the mountain is a lot warmer than under the mountain since it is an excellent barrier because it is a mountain within a mountain, although there is a change of seasons, but it is a lot warmer than under the mountain.

She tilted her head to meet the breeze for a few moments, the corner of her mouth raised a shallow and light smile, letting the green silk swept across her cheeks, moving with the wind, dressed in a light green dress, but now it is like a touch of diaphanous color in this landscape painting.

Ming Jing had come over, “Senior sister, Sect Master just returned.”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan counted, Chu Ye seemed to have not returned for months, she looked at the sky, “Sect Master can still cough”

“The seasons change, always.” Akane answered with downcast eyes.

“I said that a few recipes can be effective” Mu Zi Yan slowly got up, for Chu Ye but also not as before that kind of rejection, but as a teacher uncle general, who let her respect the old and love the young.

Ming Jing continued to respond, “It’s somewhat effective, but it can’t be cured.”

“Oh.” Mu Zi Yan nodded in response, then said, “Let’s go.”

“Yes.” Ming Jing and Ming Qing then followed her down the ridge together.

She immediately entered the Chu Ye’s house, far from it heard a slight coughing sound from the inside, outside the clouds and mountains, inside the house on the side of the incense burner curls of smoke, outside the clouds and mist outlined a picture of a beautiful woman, and behind this curtain also vaguely outlined a white clothes out of the dusty body.

Mu Zi Yan felt that Chu Ye this person is too beautiful to be true, compared to Jun Qian Yu but also life, although not see plastic surgery, but this person hands and feet are permeated with the ethereal atmosphere.

She faintly stepped forward and bowed respectfully, “Senior Uncle.”

“Coming.” Chu Ye suppressed the coughing sound that was about to come out of his throat, and that light voice added a few points of hoarse magnetism.

She slowly sat down, “Uncle Shifu is here to recuperate”

“Eh.” Chu nodded, but coughed harder and harder.

Mu Zi Yan only heard the room echoed with his coughing, the corner of his mouth pursed slightly, and then got up and walked to the curtain, “Divine Doctor Sect’s master, but even his own cough can’t be cured, and when it’s spread out, the world will think that the Divine Doctor Sect’s medical skills are just a waste of time.”

“Ai,” Chu could only sigh softly when he heard her flirt so much.

“This time but become this kind of delicate in front of me in the past day who is reckless” Mu Zi Yan said in a bad mood, and then lifted a corner of the curtain.

Chu Ye then consciously turned his back to her, Mu Zi Yan raised an eyebrow, seeing that he was sensible, he raised his hand and then gently smoothed the air on his back.

The corner of his mouth hooked up a faint smile, lowered his eyes and coughed, and waited until that cough gradually less, Mu Zi Yan then withdrew his hand, and then put down the curtain, turned around and sat down again.

Chu Ye looked at her expression through the curtains, his brows and eyes were all smiling, “When will Smokey come down from the mountain”

“I will go back tomorrow.” Mu Zi Yan had already been here for half a month, so she had to go back.

“Oh.” Chu responded indifferently, “Rather, I’m the one who’s late.”

“Senior Uncle has a lot on his plate, so he doesn’t need to care too much about his disciple.” Mu Zi Yan returned indifferently.

Chu laughed lightly, “Rather forgetting that Smokey doesn’t treat me well.”

Mu Zi Yan can hear his self-deprecation, but I do not know what is wrong with him this day Sooner or later, she was so sharp-tongued retort over, he also just smiled and responded, she suspiciously looked at him through the curtains, but could not see his complexion.

Chu Ye hurriedly collected his thoughts, then coughed a few times, “You and go, I’ll take a break.”

“Disciple leaves.” Mu Zi Yan got up and answered, and then she went out of the house.

Ming Jing stood aside, she looked at him, “Sect Master may have something on his mind”

“Disciple doesn’t know.” Ming Jing shook his head.

The corner of Mu Zi Yan’s mouth slightly skimmed, so she did not ask any more questions, at that moment, she went back to her own house and continued to look through the medical books.

Straight until the next day, when Mu Zi Yan left the Divine Healer Sect, Chu Ye did not see her, but only let Ming Jing come to pass the message, let her be careful all the way.

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyebrows and didn’t care, so she left.

When she returned to the mausoleum, she changed her attire and leaned back on the soft couch, thinking back and forth that Chu Ye’s trip seemed a bit wrong, where it seemed wrong

“These days there can be big events” Mu Zi Yan asked habitually.

“Eldest Miss, it’s nothing special, it’s just that the second young master has abstained from five stone scattering.” Yunxiang whispered back.

“Unexpectedly, this cousin of mine is a persistent one.” Mu Zi Yan sneered.

“The second young master has really gone half way, so he quit, county princess Ming An repeatedly went forward to summon the second young master back to the Liang Wangfu, but was blocked by the second madam.” Yunxiang said with downcast eyes.

“Oh.” Mu Zi Yan nodded slightly, “How is second uncle”

“The whole day to linger in the place of fireworks, but also within the mansion is to take a few aunts, do not think of progress, drunkenness.” Yun Xiang said with downcast eyes.

“Very good.” Mu Zi Yan nodded slightly and turned her eyes to look at Yun Xiang, “You girl has been reading a lot lately.”

“The slave servant thought of following by the side of the eldest young lady, since she can’t lose the face of the eldest young lady.” Yun Xiang whispered back, facing a blush.

Mu Zi Yan nodded appreciatively, “It must have been three years within this imperial tomb, and now it’s only half a year later, at the end of the year, and in two more months it will be the spring year.”

“Eldest Miss, snow fell yesterday.” Bi Yun came forward, “Did you see it within the Divine Doctor’s Gate?”

“Inside the Divine Doctor’s Gate is warmer than outside, so I didn’t see it.” Mu Zi Yan smiled and returned, “But these days I stayed in the imperial tomb, since I want to take a good look, the palace is afraid that people will also come.”

“Eldest Miss, Old Sister said that the snow is a good omen.” Bi Yun handed her the warming stove and said with a smile.

“Oh” Mu Zi Yan raised her eyebrows, turned her eyes to look through the window at the snowflakes still floating outside, good omen?

“I remember that in a few days it will be Zhong Xuan’s maturity, so taking advantage of the spring year, it’s time for her to prepare to get ready to marry into the Third Prince’s residence.” Mu Ziyan opened her lips and said.

“Eldest Miss, the Lei family’s eldest miss disappeared yesterday.” Yunxiang whispered, “Said she was crazy, and when the maid wasn’t paying attention, she climbed out of the house and froze to death by the well.”

“I still remember that day outside the Princess House, she was very eloquent to me, I did not expect that this is just a few short months, it is such a scene.” Mu Zi Yan could not help but snicker, “The Lei family has more than just her one young lady, but now since the Emperor does not intend to allow the Lei family to be the Crown Princess, the Lei family is afraid that they will also have to plan anew.”

“Eldest Miss, Lei Shizi is a thunderous one.” Yunxiang continued, “He personally carried Miss Lei’s body back to the house, ordered people to change her into clean clothes, then steered his horse, took her out of the mansion, and I heard that, into the Plum Mountain, buried her under a patch of begonia trees.”

“Lei Ruyan has loved begonias since she was young, and the begonias in Plum Hill were planted by her and Lei Shizi when she was a child.” Mu Zi Yan said faintly, the Lei Ruyan of the previous life left also after the spring year, but this life went ahead, when it is really fate.

She slowly got up, opened the door of the temple, and stood on the verdant stone floor outside the temple, the soles of her feet were piercingly cold, running straight into her heart, but she felt that her heart was still numb.

Bi Yun took the white sable cloak and draped it over her body, “Eldest Miss, you must take care of your body.”

“It doesn’t matter.” This was the first snow she saw after being reborn, snow-covered, covering the entire imperial tomb with a thick coat of snow, masking the eerie atmosphere within this imperial tomb, as well as that vaguely always penetrating the smell of blood, but instead, a piece of serenity.

She stone steps down, step by step down the palace, the end of the palace, a branch of red plum blooming from the wall, facing the wind and snow cold, proud and noble.

She stepped forward and lifted her hand to caress the plum blossom, coming up to sniff it lightly.

And not far away, there is a snow-white figure seems to melt together with this icy sky, he has one hand behind his back, one hand to cover his lips, suppressing the cough, just looking at her in the distance, white snow and red plums, the woman’s pretty face, quiet smile, all of this is that intoxicating attachment, the corner of his mouth hooked up with a touch of a smile like a snow lotus in full bloom, turned around and disappeared in the snow and ice, leaving behind only a touch of faint white light.

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to look into the distance, snowflakes falling, blocking her line of sight, she could not see the distant scenery, but she felt that in front of her is a white blanket, the corner of her mouth hooked up a faint smile, will be the hand stove stuffed to the side of the Biyun, both hands pinched a ball of snow, raised his hand to hit the outside.

“Aigoo,” a miserable cry, and then saw a walk in around the palace wall, covering his head and looking at her sadly.

Mu Zi Yan saw Su Qin Rou frowning, “Sister Mu, this is how you treat your guests.”

“Sister Su really understands me.” Mu Zi Yan said and then bent down to pinch up another snowball and smashed it towards Su Qin Rou.

Su Qinrou this time anxious, hastily dodge, but still be hit, so also do not care, at the same time will be hand stove stuffed to the Mu Lingxuan behind the followers, and then also pinched the snow ball toward Mu Zi Yan hit.

Staffer and Qi Xuan were standing behind them, and when they saw the two of them playing around like this, they exchanged glances and saw Hou Yi Yi and Niangzi Lu following them over, followed by Qi Yu’er, and when she saw them, she hurriedly clapped her hands and said, “I’ll come too.”

Said then bent down and pinched the snow ball, directly smashed to Su Qinrou, this time Su Qinrou is the back of the enemy, angry stomped his feet, turned to look at the Hou Yi Yi who was watching the fun from the sidelines, “still do not come over.”

Hou Yi Yi smiled and answered, “Good.”

Lv Niangzi and Qi Xue’er also followed to join in the fun, but Mu Zi Yan will be the snow ball directly towards the back of Qi Xuan smashed over, and then smashed in the chapter Staffer and chapter metatarsal, and even Mu Lingxuan has not been spared, this is good, quiet palace, but lively.

After playing to the fullest, Mu Zi Yan simply sit on the snow, panting, turning his eyes to look at everyone is so, seems to be a long time have not been so liberal over, so everyone will not be constrained, but is to play a lot of fun.

To return to the palace, Yunxiang and Bi Yun, as well as Su Qin Rou they brought the maids began to work to change their clothes, to drive away the cold, another burst of noise.

“It’s quite lively.” Mu Lingxuan sat down and watched Mu Zi Yan come out with a smile.

“Brother, how is Jue’er” Mu Zi Yan looked at Mu Ling Xuan and asked.

“Mother is protecting him like a baby.” Mu Lingxuan quite some emotion, “I just hold is not right, he was dissatisfied, then cried, mother see can heartache bad.”

“Haha.” Mu Zi Yan raised her voice and laughed, “Brother is being disliked by Mother.”

“Yeah.” Mu Lingxuan sighed helplessly, “I’ll claim it back when he’s older.”

“En, I’ll help brother.” Mu Zi Yan came forward, those watery eyes transmitting a cunning light.

“Let’s talk about it when the time comes, I’m worried ah, just don’t turn around and bully me with him.” The corner of Mu Lingxuan’s mouth turned away, obviously not believing it.

Mu Zi Yan inhaled and mused for a moment, “Rather.”

“Look.” Mu Lingxuan called out now.

Su Qinrou walked over with a red face, “Sister Mu, did you know that I’m coming today”

“I don’t know.” Mu Zi Yan shook her head and said, “Why are you all here today?”

“You girl.” Niangzi Lu looked at her, “Have you really forgotten what day this is?”

“Today” Mu Zi Yan just came back, since it has not yet had time to think about it, raised her eyes to look at Yunxiang, “What day?”

“Eldest Miss, today is the ninth day of the ninth month.” Yun Xiang whispered back.

“The ninth day of the first month,” Mu Zi Yan thought carefully, “How could I forget, this day is sister Lu’s birthday.”

“Yes.” Lady Lu looked at her, “Thinking that you wouldn’t remember, so I made it a point to come and find you.”

Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly and said, “Since it is not my sister’s fault.”

Said the man who rose and hastily blessed himself.

“Well, what are you going to do about this large group of people.” Luna looked at her and laughed.

Mu Zi Yan was silent for a moment, “This imperial tomb since it is not possible to pass the birthday, plainly taboo, not if all of you first leave, later I will rush over”

“That won’t work.” Mu Lingxuan looked at her, “If so, wouldn’t you be exposed”

“No harm done.” Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly and said, “I’ll have the maid disguise herself as me, this Lu Erniang and Mu Zi Yan appearing together, so as not to arouse suspicion.”

“Yes.” Lady Lu nodded her head and responded, “You’ve been absent for a long time these past few days, so you’ve aroused suspicion.”

“Then all of you change to go first, I’ll go forward again” Mu Zi Yan said with a smile out.

“That’s good.” Mu Lingxuan nodded his head and responded, and after sitting for a moment, the people left together.

Mu Zi Yan then asked her subordinates to disguise themselves as her and stay inside the palace, turning her eyes to look at Yun Xiang and Bi Yun, “Go out for a walk later.”
