Chapter 149 – Private Meeting (Second Shift) (1 / 2)

With two more days to go before Mu Ling Jue’s full moon wine, Mu Ling Xuan came to greet Qi, and saw that she was holding her younger brother with a look of displeasure.

Sister Cui quietly stood aside and did not dare to interrupt.

Mu Lingxuan walked forward, “Mother, who made you angry”

“It’s not even your father.” Qi snorted coldly.

“What’s wrong with father,” Mu Lingxuan asked in disbelief.

“Jue’s full moon wine he does not come then forget it, how come even a letter did not” Qi whispered, “smoke can not come, he can not come, only you and I, Jue’s full moon wine is really cold.”

Mu Lingxuan sort of understood, turned his eyes to look at Sister Cui, and smiled helplessly with a light smile, “Mother, I heard father say that he would be able to make it back in the spring New Year’s.”

“Spring year,” Qi counted, “that’s two months away.”

“Yes.” Mu Lingxuan smiled and responded, “Two months is fast.”

“Two months then.” Qi lowered her eyes to look at Jue’er, before responding with satisfaction, “What about Smokey”

“Mother, my sister should be able to return, but it will have to wait until after the Queen’s death anniversary.” Mu Lingxuan patiently replied.

Qi nodded, “That would be half a month.”

“Yes. Besides, nowadays it’s freezing cold, if my sister comes out, this body won’t be able to withstand it.” Mu Lingxuan continued.

“Yes.” Qi whispered, “See how I suddenly”

“Mother wants her brother’s full moon wine to be hot and lively, son understands.” Mu Lingxuan continued.

“Hey.” Qi looked at Mu Lingxuan, “I’m always just a little uneasy.”

“Mother don’t worry, not still have a son.” Mu Lingxuan came forward and sat down, smiling.

“Rather, I’ve made Xuan’er worry.” Qi sighed, so mother and son chatted for a while longer before returning to their own courtyard.

Qi raised her eyes to look at Sister Cui, “How do you think I’ve been unsettled these past two days”

“Your Ladyship, the Marquis and the Eldest Miss will be auspicious since.” Sister Cui whispered.

“I don’t know how, these past few days are always rambling, perhaps it’s because Smokey hasn’t been with her for a long time.” Qi’s faintly said to stop, “When some days will be able to come back.”

“The old slave serves the lady to rest.” Sister Cui did not take over Mu Ling Jue from Qi’s hands, knowing that she had taken care of her personally these days, even the milkmaid was seldom called upon, in the high families, there were very few wives who personally breastfed their children, and very few who cared for their own children so tirelessly.

So after another day, Mu Ziyan entered the dark room and saw that the man had woken up, and his limbs were slightly able to move, she whispered, “The day after tomorrow, he will be able to get off the ground and walk.”

“Many thanks.” The man looked at Mu Zi Yan and solemnly thanked him.

Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly and said, “Your Excellency is polite.”

“Under me, Stranger Zen.” The man looked at Mu Ziyan and said, “Missy will call me Mor Zen in the future.”

“Gongzi is a man of the jianghu, since he is quick and not formal, then I will not be formal, since I call Gongzi as Stranger, then Gongzi will call me Smoke.” Mu Zi Yan said with a smile, then she looked at Bi Yun, already carrying the soup in.

Stranger Zen raised his eyes to look at Mu Zi Yan, his eyes flashed a smile, this was the first time he smiled after waking up, rather like a white light suddenly shot out in the dark night, very dazzling.

Mu Zi Yan had to admit that Mor Zen had his own unique atmosphere, silent and introverted, but with more than a few points of the chivalrous atmosphere of the jianghu, rather unconventional, but with an extraordinary temperament.

Strange Elephant wanted to take the medicine himself, but Bi Yun was a bit hesitant, “Sir, it’s better for the slave girl to do it.”

“I want to try it myself.” Strange was not an invalid, and although he was now lying like an invalid like this, he wanted to make himself recover as quickly as possible.

Mu Zi Yan saw that he actually had this kind of heart, she seemed to see her own shadow from Stranger Zen’s body, she looked to Bi Yun, “Give it to Mr. Stranger.”

“Yes.” Bi Yun then carefully handed him the bowl of medicine while retreating to the side.

Stranger Zen held the medicine bowl in one hand, but he obviously couldn’t make any strength, but he wasn’t in a hurry, instead, he gathered his strength little by little until he held that bowl, and then slowly put it to his own mouth.

Mu Zi Yan did not interrupt, nor did she lend a helping hand from the side, but watched him drink the bowl of medicinal juice himself, he was already sweating profusely, but exhaled deeply.

Mu Zi Yan smiled and looked at Bi Yun, who then handed him the square towel and then took the medicine bowl from his hands.

“Mr. Stranger’s noble girth,” Mu Zi Yan asked in a low voice.

“Slightly older than Mu Shizi by a year.” Stranger Zhen replied back in a low voice.

“Then I will call Brother Mor in the future.” Mu Zi Yan said with a light smile.

“In that case Stranger Gothic will respectfully comply.” Stranger Gothic, however, agreed with alacrity.

Mu Zi Yan saw that he looked much better, which was a sigh of relief, but know that, Mor Zen is the first patient she healed, and now see him meet the ground to recover, this heart of hers is quite a sigh of relief.

It turns out that life and death are just a matter of thought.

Mu Zi Yan saw Stranger Zhen lie down again, she turned around and went out of the dark room, Niangzi Lu came up, “Sister, you should also rest, I went out just now and saw the Sixth Princess.”

“She,” Mu Zi Yan looked at her, “what did she do”

“A flash of light from underneath the royal tomb.” Lady Lu came forward, “Do you think she’ll”

“Go and take a look and you will know.” The corner of Mu Zi Yan’s mouth hooked up a faint smile, and then lifted his steps out of the palace, and waited until he reached the underground entrance of the Imperial Tomb, and then he saw the old grandma walking over.

“Eldest Miss Mu.” Old Sister looked at Mu Ziyan and whispered.

“Did you see anyone go in just now,” Mu Zi Yan asked, looking at the old Sister.

“Sixth Princess.” Old Sister looked at Mu Ziyan and said, “But just hurriedly went in and came out again.”

“It seems that this is something she has noticed.” Mu Zi Yan said faintly.

“Eldest Miss Mu, what is the purpose of this Sixth Princess sneaking into the Imperial Tomb for,” the old Sister looked at Mu Zi Yan, her tone carrying a few moments of earthly coldness, “No matter who it is, if anyone dares to intrude into the Empress Dowager’s tomb, they will surely die.”

When Mu Zi Yan saw the old Sister say this, she knew that the old Sister would definitely not show Jun Yuluo any mercy, and she nodded slightly, “Sister, since the Sixth Princess has left, I won’t linger.”

“Senior slave sends off Eldest Miss Mu.” Sister bowed respectfully towards Mu Ziyan.

Mu Zi Yan returned to the palace with Lady Lu, she slowly sat down, “Is the Sixth Princess also going to the Empress’s tomb”

“I don’t know.” Niangzi Lu looked at Mu Zi Yan, “This matter seems a bit odd to me, it’s better to wait a bit longer.”

“Looks like Princess Rong couldn’t wait.” Mu Zi Yan laughed coldly, “It’s finally time to strike.”

Lv Niangzi see Mu Zi Yan so say, will be a little worried up, only feel that this imperial tomb these days is too unsettled, is this queen’s tomb when there is hiding what secrets!

The next day, Mu Zi Yan every three hours will go to see Mor Zen, now since the hour, wash up after the dark room, Mor Zen before lying on the bed to take a nap, and did not have any problems, she went up to take the pulse, and then checked, which is to rest assured that left.

When she was out of the dark room, Yunxiang came forward and reported, “Eldest Miss, the Sixth Princess is here.”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan faintly responded, “Please.”

“Yes.” Rue Xiang turned around and left the bedchamber.

Empress Lu walked over, “What is the Sixth Princess doing here at this hour”

“I don’t know.” Mu Zi Yan felt that Jun Yu Luo had a purpose, but what that purpose was, she did not know.

Mu Zi Yan walked forward, and when Jun Yuluo came forward, she blessed herself and said, “My daughter sees Your Highness the Princess.”

Jun Yuluo said in a low voice, “I sought you out because I want you to accompany this official on another trip to the Imperial Tomb.”

“I’m afraid that’s not possible.” Mu Zi Yan refused this time, however.

“Mu Zi Yan, you dare to disobey even this Palace’s orders,” Jun Yu Luo looked straight at Mu Zi Yan and said in a deep voice.

“Your Highness, this former trip to the underground of the Imperial Tomb is also documented.” Mu Zi Yan said immediately after, “My daughter is not required to go these days.”

Jun Yu Luo looked at her coldly, “What rules”

“If Your Highness wants to go ahead, you can go ahead and ask for an order.” Mu Zi Yan said nonchalantly.

“Hmph.” Jun Yu Luo snorted coldly, turned around and left the palace.

Lady Lu looked at her, “Why is this Sixth Princess letting take her in”

“Last night she wanted to break into the imperial tomb, perhaps she ran into something when she went in, so she came out, and today she asked me to lead her forward, but it was only because I was able to bring her in unharmed.” Mu Zi Yan said faintly.

“Then what you said just now,” Niangzi Lu thought about how this mausoleum had ever come up with such a rule.

“I made it up.” Mu Zi Yan said faintly, turned around and went into the dormitory.

Nymphet Lu visibly flinched, “You’re really daring too.”

“She has a ghost in her heart, since she won’t go to investigate.” Mu Zi Yan raised an eyebrow, then sat down, “If she did not have a ghost in her heart, she would not have left so easily just now.”

“Yes, the day after tomorrow will be the full moon wine, your gift can be ready,” Niangzi Lu looked at Mu Zi Yan and asked.

“It was prepared early in the morning.” Mu Zi Yan smiled and returned, “I’ve already had it sent.”

“I would like to take a look.” Lady Lu smiled lightly, “You girl, you always come up with something strange.”

Mu Zi Yan laughed lightly, “It’s just a sudden thought.”

“What are you going to give me for my next birthday” Niangzi Lu was overjoyed when she remembered the gift Mu Zi Yan gave her last time.

Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly and said, “That will have to wait for another year, when I’ve thought about it.”

“There’s still a year to go, and I don’t know how you and I will be by then.” Lady Lu couldn’t help but sigh.

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes and looked at her, “What else can be done, you and Brother Zhang got married, so you can be at ease with your husband and raise your children.”

“You girl, you don’t have a straight face again.” Lady Lu smiled helplessly and raised her hand to pinch her nose.

Jun Yuluo returned to the palace, and Consort Rong was about to head to the front hall when she saw her come back in a rage and whispered, “Didn’t go”

“Mother Concubine, who on earth gave Mu Zi Yan the ambition to dare to refute my face three or four times” Jun Yu Luo said in a furious voice.

“It’s just a grasshopper that can’t hop around for more than a few days after the fall, so why get mad at yourself for a worthless maid.” Consort Rong said as she wrapped her arms around Jun Yuluo.

Jun Yuluo leaned in Concubine Yun’s arms, “Mother consort, you say Luo’er which point is not as good as that Su Qinru, brother Mu would rather have her than Luo’er and that Mu ZiYan, if it is not that she is from the setup, how could brother Mu not want Luo’er”

“You, why are you clinging to a Mu Ling Xuan” Princess Rong asked in disbelief.

“Mother consort, Luo’er has never been so persistent and desperate to be with someone in her life, and brother Mu is that, so no matter what method is used, Luo’er will take brother Mu back.” Jun Yu Luo said in a low voice.

Seeing how stubborn she was, Princess Rong could only helplessly let her be.

Finally waited for Mu Ling Jue full moon wine time, Qi dressed in very festive dark red silk hibiscus group brocade pasted, is now standing in the hall to greet the guests.

Tonight, in addition to Mu Zi Yan and Niangzi Lu not being there, the rest of the people were rarely together, and were currently sitting around in one place chatting away.

Su Qinrou these days in turn became a regular visitor to the Marquis Mu, now sitting next to Qi Xue’er, the two looked at each other, she whispered, “If it is Sister Mu in it would be good.”

“The first cousin also do not know how,” Qi Xue’er sighed, then continued, “and do not say these, not to say something else.”

“Yes.” Su Qinrou smiled and answered.

Qi herself held Mu Ling Jue in her arms, beaming as she joked and laughed with the guests who had come.

And Zhu Yue since that night, the spirit seems to be a little depressed, Mu Qinglin found that formula since some effect, but only for a while, every time to the crunch, will be defeated, so that she felt more and more aggrieved.

This day will be able to see the soul of the people, Zhu Yue this heart and a few more points of joy, she dressed up early, went to the garden built in front of the theater to sit down.

Qi had already invited the guests to take their seats, so Zhu Yue did not want to be too conspicuous, so he found a corner place to sit down.

Mu Lingxuan, on the other hand, was sitting in a place with the four people of Staffer with Qi Xuan and Zhang Zong, chatting away, mostly centered around Mu Ziyan.

Hou Yi Yi came over, “I heard that the pillar of this Rongxiang theater troupe has a very decent appearance.”

“I’ve also heard about it.” Qi Yu’er chimed in, “I don’t know how many girls’ hearts have been charmed.”

“You little girl, where do you know all this” Qi Xue’er turned her eyes to Qi Yu’er and whispered.

“What I said is true.” Qi Yu’er said rather aggressively.

“I did hear a few plays that were good.” Su Qinruo answered in a low voice.

“This day is a blessing for the eyes.” Hou Yi Yi said with a smile.

Several people then began to talk about this Rongxiang theater troupe.

Zhu Yue raised her eyes and kept looking toward the stage, her heart was a little restless, she squeezed her hands tightly on her handkerchief and turned her eyes to Ruqin, “All ready”

“Don’t worry, ma’am, the slave girl has already prepared it according to your instructions.” Ruqin hung her head and returned.

“That’s good.” Zhu Yue then breathed a sigh of relief, and his brows were filled with joy.

Qi’s sitting on the sidelines talking to Mrs. Marquis Su, while Sister Cui carried Mu Ling Jue back to the courtyard, not daring to rest assured, she sat on the sidelines to keep watch.

The old lady is now rarely out of the face, only because the face has not been completely recuperated, so now stay in the long pine courtyard, outside the laughter, and singing, from time to time came in, the old lady was already irritable heart at the moment more and more not serene.

From Sister walked in, “Old Lady, the young master is being watched by Sister Cui without moving an inch.”

“En.” The old madam answered in a deep voice, “She is a loyal one.”

“Elder Lady, what should we do now,” asked Sister From carefully.

“Even if I don’t do it, someone else will.” The old lady’s eyes narrowed slightly, “Let them make a scene ah.”

“Yes.” From Sister answered with her head hanging down, and then she retreated.

Sister Cui is personally looking after Mu Ling Jue, see him sleeping at the moment, Sister Cui will be outside the maid to be more careful, then leaned aside to carefully look after.

Suddenly there was a loud noise coming from inside the house, Sister Cui alertly picked up Mu Ling Jue on the bed and raised her eyes to survey the surroundings, seeing that there wasn’t any ground noise, then she sighed in relief.

Suddenly a black shadow flashed by, and before Sister Cui could even scream, she was knocked out by a palm strike, and the Mu Ling Jue in Sister Cui’s hand was also taken out.

However, just after this black shadow left the house, it was stopped by the two maids, and they fought right away.

Mu Lingxuan at the moment is watching the play on the stage, then heard the scribe came to report, he slowly got up and went out of the garden to go straight to the clearing courtyard, chapter Staff Reporting and Qi Xuan two people glanced at each other, “go and take a look.”

“Good.” Qi Xuan nodded his head in response, and with Zhang Zong, the three of them then also got up and went to the Jiyue Courtyard.

Mu Ling Xuan rushed to the time, the black shadow holding Mu Ling Jue, because too long, Mu Ling Jue suddenly “wow” cried out, which was knocked unconscious Cui Ma’am woke up, she slowly opened her eyes, to see himself on the ground, the arms of the young master disappeared, then heard the cries coming from outside, and hurriedly got up and rushed out.

Seeing that there were many people, the black shadow raised his hand and threw Mu Ling Jue towards the air, and as the crowd rallied to catch the child, the black shadow flew away.

Mu Ling Xuan held Mu Ling Jue firmly in his arms, looking down at him still crying, his eyes penetrating with tears, making people look at him with more and more intolerance.

Zhang Zong walked up, “How can this full moon wine be unsettling.”

“And I don’t know who did it,” said the chapter staffer out of the palace.

“This person’s martial arts skills are not weak.” Qi Xuan said immediately afterward.

Sister Cui stepped forward to carry Mu Ling Jue in her arms, turned around and entered the house.

Mu Lingxuan only felt wetness in his chest, glancing down, he sighed helplessly, “See, this brother of mine is so good to me.”

“Rather.” Chapter Staffer saw a mark on Mu Lingxuan’s chest, “Brother Mu should still go change his clothes.”
