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

“En.” Mu Lingxuan looked at them and said, “All of you then go ahead and wait for me.”

“Good thing too.” The three of them responded, and resumed their journey back inside the garden.

Straight until Mu Lingxuan back again, this matter is not immediately told to Qi, straight until after the end, all the guests left, Qi turned his eyes to look at Mu Lingxuan, “Something happened.”

“It’s good to have a scare.” Mu Lingxuan returned truthfully.

“These things, how can’t let me have some peace” Qi coldly grunted, lifting her steps towards the Ji Yue courtyard and hurriedly walked away.

Mu Lingxuan saw that Qi could not wait to rush to the Ji Yue courtyard, so he also followed along.

Tonight Mu Lingxuan something, perhaps not too early to come back, so Zhu Yue will look at the opportunity to wait until the people are dispersed, she did a little less dress up, went to the backyard behind the mountain ear room, here in addition to a drunken granny, there is no one else.

Ruqin since sent the woman left, Zhu Yue will patiently wait, not long, will see a person walked in, living white-faced scholar, eyebrows through the hard to hide the charm, really is handsome and stunning.

Zhu Yue looked dumbfounded, unexpectedly forgot to salute, and immediately rushed forward and rushed into his arms.

“I also hope that the lady will respect herself.” The person in front of him took a step backward, avoiding Zhu Yue since.

Zhu Yue was a bit constrained and raised her eyes to look at him and whispered, “It was my concubine who was reckless.”

“I don’t know what the lady called me here for,” the man asked lightly, without any expression.

Zhu Yue was visibly stunned and looked at him handily, “I”

“If there is nothing else for you ma’am, I will take my leave first.” The man’s expression was bland, obviously quite dissatisfied with the way Zhu Yue looked at him just now.

“Sir, don’t go.” Zhu Yue rushed forward and was about to stop him, but remembering his abruptness just now, he lowered his hand again.

“I don’t know what exactly is the matter with the lady” the man asked in a cold voice.

“I just wanted to have a word with Your Excellency.” Zhu Yue’s eyes flashed with a touch of sadness, “Now it seems that it’s better not to talk.”

Seeing her like this, the man whispered, “I take my leave.”

Zhu Yue stood in place, looking at his back as he left, her heart felt like it was empty, and waited until the man had left for a long time before she turned around and leapt away.

When she went back to the house, she saw the drunken Mu Qing Lin, she let Ruqin wait with a disgusted face, and then she went back to the inner room, looking at herself in the bronze mirror, only to see the faint scars on her face, sad.

Ruqin ordered someone to help Mu Qinglin into the bed couch in the inner room and turned her eyes to Zhu Yue, “Ma’am, the slave servant serves you to wash up.”

Zhu Yue’s eyes flashed with a touch of condensation, turning his eyes to look at Mu Qing Lin, he got up and went into the compartment to bathe.

Just entered behind the screen, removed the clothes on her body, fell into the bath tub, almost did not scream out in shock, only to feel an arm forcefully yanked her into the bath tub, forcibly pressed her underneath, one hand covered her mouth, the other hand clamped down on her waist, and forced her to take her when she was defenseless.

Zhu Yue stared at the person in front of her with wide eyes, forced to endure that Jean’s rough behavior, from the initial reluctance to the later stimulation enjoyment, until finally, she couldn’t help but to scream out, but by the person in front of her with a palm split stunned.

She waited until the sound of Ruqin came from outside, but she couldn’t hear any noise inside, she carefully went in, and saw Zhu Yue lying in the bath tub, seemingly in a false sleep.

She stepped forward carefully, “Ma’am.”

Zhu Yue was awakened, suddenly screamed out, seems to be the just suppressed pleasure and pain are called out, raised his eyes but saw Ruqin scared kneeling on the ground, she only then back to God, looked down at himself, and then looked to the tub in front of him, and then looked to the two sides of the water stains due to shaking and scattered, lowered his head gently stroked over his waist, she knew just now the thing was true, but that person her eyes flashed a flash of cold light, suppressed the bottom of his heart ground Doubt, but also do not dare to voice.

Waiting until she returned to the inner room, she lay beside Mu Qing Lin, but her mind always floated back to the situation in the bath tub just now.

Inside the imperial tomb, Mu Zi Yan went to the dark room and saw that Mor Zen had already gotten out of the bed and was walking forward with little steps.

She did not go up to disturb him, but saw that after he gradually found his senses, his footsteps had changed from the first sluggishness to the present ease.

Strange Elephant raised her eyes to look at Mu Zi Yan, “It should be fine soon.”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded her head and responded, “In that case, I will congratulate Big Brother Mor.”

“Smoke’s saving grace, Stranger Elegy will never forget it.” Stranger Zen looked toward Mu Zi Yan and solemnly thanked her.

Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly and said, “Big Brother Mor is polite, but it’s just a deal between me and my seniors.”

Seeing Mu Zi Yan speak so frankly and straightforwardly, Stranger Zen said with a light smile, “Smokey’s personality is straightforward, does she have a few moments of a chivalrous woman’s spirit.”

Mu Zi Yan hooked her lips and smiled, “Mo there are not too many attachments, I would like to be that idle cloud and wild crane person.”

Seeing that there was such a sentiment, Strange Gothic revealed a faint smile, and then he sat down to rest.

Mu Zi Yan chatted with him for a few moments, Bi Yun had already come in with the soup and medicine, and she went out of the dark room since.

Yunxiang will be last night’s Marquis Mu Houfu happenings reported Mu Zi Yan, whispered, “Miss, you say that suddenly broke into the wish Auntie courtyard head, but also will wish Auntie to the end of what people wish Auntie surprisingly then this so affected.”

Yunxiang really do not understand, after all, in her opinion, women follow the three from the four virtues, and Zhu aunt with the third master together, is because by the third master insulted in the first, but last night why Zhu aunt also so

Mu Zi Yan hooked her lips in a cold smile, “It seems that someone wants to take advantage of Aunt Zhu.”

“Eldest Miss, could it be Second Miss Zhong,” Yun Xiang’s first thought was Zhong Xuan.

“Someone else.” Mu Zi Yan said indifferently, “The one who wanted to snatch Jue’er was that man in black, he was afraid that he was injured, so he broke into Aunt Zhu’s courtyard, and even gave Aunt Zhu the”

“Is the man still going to go,” said Rue, growing more and more puzzled.

Mu Zi Yan said faintly, “End depends on what his purpose is.”

“Eldest Miss, what about the Rongxiang theater troupe” Yunxiang asked immediately after.

“How it should be is how it should be.” Mu Zi Yan said in a low voice, “I only did this because I wanted to draw Zhu Yue’s attention away from her, so that she wouldn’t move her mind to her brother’s body, and now she’s afraid that she’ll have even less of a mind to do so.”

“Eldest Miss, Empress Yi Concubine gave this to you.” Yun Xiang said and handed her a jade bracelet.

Mu Zi Yan took this jade bracelet and looked down carefully, the head of water is very good, it is the top grade blood jade, but it is a rare thing, but this thing looks like she has seen it somewhere!

Mu Zi Yan carefully played with it, and after a while, she saw Lady Lu come, “This jade bracelet is rare.”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded and responded, “But it looks like something from the palace.”

“Missy, you are Yi concubine mother will this thing to you and why” Yunxiang continued, “At first, Yi concubine mother wanted to take advantage of in the recitation of the empty slot, seize over the dark, just who knows out of the cloud consort that thing.”

“You girl, nowadays your mouth is sharp.” Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to look at Yun Xiang and said faintly.

“Slave servant speaks too much.” Yunxiang hurriedly hung her head and returned.

Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly and said, “What else did Lady Concubine Yi say”

“She said that this object is related to the Sixth Princess.” Yun Xiang continued, “It is also related to the Empress’ tomb.”

“How does she know,” asked Nyonya Lu in disbelief.

“This harem, can succeed on the throne, which is not some means, some connections not to mention the concubine is not what it used to be, Su Houfu will help, she can get this news is not strange.” Mu Zi Yan then said, “You tell Yi concubine, let her these days or at ease some, Rong Fei come, she is now if she is exposed, I am afraid that will be a big deal.”

“Yes.” Yun Xiang answered and then retreated.

Mu Zi Yan turned her eyes to look at Niangzi Lu, “Since it’s related to the Empress, it’s self-evident that there’s someone to ask.”

“I’ll go with you,” asked the Lady Lu solicitously.

“Old Sister has an odd temper, if you go there, I’m afraid it’s not right.” Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly and looked at Niangzi Lu, “Sister Lu will just wait for me here.”

“Good.” Niangzi Lu nodded her head and responded, having learned from her last time, so she responded as well.

Mu Ziyan went to seek out the old Sister, and when she handed the blood jade bracelet to the old Sister, the old Sister raised her eyes to look at her, “How did Eldest Miss Mu come to have this item?”

“This was sent by someone, it seems that the Sister knows the provenance.” Mu Zi Yan knew that when she saw the old Sister’s expression and said in a low voice.

“I have known it since.” The old grandma looked at Mu Ziyan, “This was the Empress Mother’s favorite bracelet during her lifetime, and then she gave it to County Mistress Ming’an.”

“County Lord Ming An” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes flashed a flash of doubt, “Since it was given to County Lord Ming An, how could it appear within the royal tomb”

“There was only one pair of these bracelets, one was given to County Princess Ming An, and the other was given to the Sixth Princess who had just been born at the time.” Old Sister said as she looked at Mu Ziyan.

“It seems that this one isn’t the one belonging to Princess Mingan, but the Sixth Princess’.” Mu Zi Yan whispered.

“I think so.” The old Sister continued, “However, once this bracelet is put on, it will not come off, it is extremely spiritual, and if the Sixth Princess has worn it, she will certainly not discard it.”

“I have not seen County Princess Ming An and the Sixth Princess wear this bracelet before.” Mu Zi Yan thought carefully, and then said, “It seems that this bracelet is not necessarily the Sixth Princess’s either.” Mu Zi Yan then said, “Such a valuable thing, Mo is not wearing it, how could it be easily brought on the body”

“Eldest Miss Mu, if that’s true, then this bracelet,” the old Sister caressed the bracelet, seemingly remembering the past.

Mu Zi Yan continued, “Don’t worry, Sister, I will find out for myself.”

“Good.” Old Sister raised her eyes to look at Mu Zi Yan, and was a bit more capricious towards her.

Mu Zi Yan went back to the palace, then ordered people to go to the Liang Wang Fu to see if the blood jade bracelet of County Lord Ming An is still there, and wait until after noon, Yunxiang came, “Missy, Princess Rong was poisoned last time, and now her body is better, but she can’t withstand the coldness of the front hall, and now she is sick.”

Mu Zi Yan was silent for a moment, “Sick at this time”

“Where is concubine Yi,” Mu Zi Yan continued to ask.

“Concubine Yi didn’t dare to come forward, so she quietly stood aside.” Yunxiang continued.

“Go and take a look.” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes flashed with a flash of ghostly light, turning her eyes to look at Yun Xiang, “Is there any news from the Liang Wang Fu’s place?”

“News has just come in that the bracelet of County Lord Ming An is still there.” Yunxiang returned with downcast eyes.

“Since County Princess Ming An’s is there, then this bracelet is Jun Yuluo’s.” Mu Zi Yan can’t help but be a bit puzzled, “Why would she bring this bracelet to the Imperial Tomb? Could it be that this bracelet has a hidden secret within it”

As she pondered, she lifted her steps out of the palace, and when she arrived at Concubine Rong’s place, she saw other concubines standing outside, while Concubine Yi stood quietly with her head hung down, not being conspicuous.

Mu Zi Yan lifted her steps into the palace, the accompanying eunuchs had just come out of the bedchamber, “Concubine Rong’s precious body is not feeling well, she needs to recuperate.”

“But to return to the palace” Mu Zi Yan but at this moment asked.

“mother consort is sad overly will be so, rest a few days will be good, if the mother consort also returned to the palace, this place how to do” Jun Yuluo but at this moment interjected, looked askance at Mu Zi Yan, tone of voice said in a bad way.

Mu Zi Yan, however, took out the jade bracelet from her bosom at this moment and presented it with both hands, “Your Highness, this jade bracelet is yours.”

Jun Yuluo turned his eyes to take a look, and his eyes flashed with a flash of ghostly light before he said, “Where did you pick it up?”

“This was lost by Her Highness” Mu Zi Yan then said with a sudden realization.

“This object is the Empress Mother’s reward, I have brought it with me since, but it disappeared yesterday, and Mother Consort was even more anxious when she learned of it, and that’s why she fell ill.” Jun Yuluo said guiltily with downcast eyes.

Raising his hand from Mu Zi Yan’s hand took the jade bracelet, and then carefully placed the bracelet inside the incense bag, raising his eyes to look at her, “This thing you are picking up from where.”

“It is the right time when the subject daughter into the palace, in the temple outside the snow within the search, perhaps these days successive snow, so this bracelet was buried in blood.” Mu Zi Yan slowly returned.

“That’s true.” Jun Yu Luo looked at her, “Since you found it, then this palace should reward you with something.”

Mu Zi Yan on her at the moment in front of their own set up the frame of the princess, can not help but feel funny, just the heart more and more doubt, look at Jun Yuluo on the bracelet of the precious, since it will not be randomly thrown away, that bracelet is really accidentally lost!

“It’s just by the way, Your Highness doesn’t need a reward.” Mu Zi Yan faintly rebuffed.

To be out while the palace, Mu Zi Yan walked on the way back, straight until she entered her own palace, she only came back to her senses, turning her eyes to look at Yunxiang, “Sixth Princess is getting more and more cunning.”

“Eldest Miss, what are your orders.” Seeing Mu Zi Yan say so, Yun Xiang asked in a low voice.

“Keep an eye on Princess Rong, I think they made a move this night.” Mu Zi Yan said faintly.

“Yes.” Yun Xiang answered and then retreated.

Empress Lu stepped forward, “It seems that Princess Rong really can’t wait.”

“Old Sister has not told the truth.” Mu Zi Yan sighed quietly.

“What’s wrong,” Nyx Lui asked in disbelief.

“This blood jade bracelet was indeed given to County Princess Ming An and the Sixth Princess, but the secret that permeates within this bracelet, Sister still hasn’t told me.” Mu Zi Yan said in a cold voice.

“Ai, I don’t know when this kind of reckoning will come to an end.” Niangzi Lu was suddenly a little tired of all this drama of you fighting for me, especially with the whirlpool she was in nowadays.

Mu Zi Yan laughed lightly, “This struggle is immortal.”

“You girl, are you really prepared to hitch yourself up” Niangzi Lu was unable to bear it.

Mu Zi Yan said in a low voice, “It’s not that, but it’s just that the situation has forced me to do so, and as the young lady of the Marquis Mu, I should have the responsibility.”

“Can’t you live for yourself,” Nymph Lu asked in a low voice, sighing.

“Since I have to live for myself, however, I also have to weigh the pros and cons, if I don’t want to participate in it, then in the end, the Mu Marquis can only become a victim under their power, and I am facing nothing but a death, rather than being passive and being beaten, I should take the initiative.” Mu Zi Yan looked at Niangzi Lu, “Sister Lu, I know you are heartbroken for me, but I have to fight, I have to grab, if I don’t care, then I can be at ease as a marquis lady, but one day, when you are facing the destruction of your family, watching your loved ones die horrible deaths one by one and then leave you, at that time, even if you are even afraid of regretting you won’t have the courage to do so. “

She had already tasted that kind of pain and suffering once, so in this life, she had to hurry up and become the chess player before they turned her into a pawn.

Mu Zi Yan’s words touched Niangzi Lu, and even more so touched Stranger Zen, who was now in the dark room, and he had never thought that there was such an indomitable and resolute-minded woman in this world.

“It’s me who thought shallowly.” Niang Lu said as she looked at Mu Zi Yan.

Mu Zi Yan light smile, “such as people drink water cold and warm, rather than with the joy of the fish, I work hard, but I feel worth it, because I keep the loved ones that I want to keep, and I also get friends from it, is not it”

Niangzi Lu raised her hand to hold hers, “You girl, you’re obviously a few years younger than me, but this is a set way of talking about axioms.”

Mu Zi Yan winked mischievously, “En, sister Lu is right, I’m still small.”

Lady Lu raised her hand and pinched her nose, “Silly girl.”

“Sister Lu, you can’t be pinched on my nose” Mu Zi Yan rubbed her nose rather dissatisfied.

Lady Lu smiled helplessly, “Get used to it.”

“You’d better leave this habit to Big Brother Zhang.” Mu Zi Yan snorted coldly, and after chatting with Niangzi Lu, now she was thinking about another matter.

What is the secret hidden in that blood jade bracelet?

Yunxiang returned and whispered, “Missy, you should go out and look.”

“What’s wrong,” Mu Zi Yan saw that she looked like she had never been flustered before, her eyes slightly converged, so she lifted her steps and went out of the palace.

She saw the concubine who had come to the wake walking towards her palace at the moment, and her face was grave, her eyes overflowing with anger.

Mu Zi Yan faintly raised her eyebrows, not knowing what was going on here.

Niangzi Lu stood aside, “This aggressive stance, it’s all directed at you”

“Think so.” Mu Zi Yan nodded and responded, “What’s going on with Yun Xiang”

“Eldest Miss, the slave girl doesn’t know either.” Yun Xiang lowered her eyes and whispered.

Bi Yun ran back at this time, and immediately knelt beside Mu Zi Yan, “Eldest Miss, the slave girl heard that these ladies were instigated to come by Consort Rong.”

“What did she say” Mu Zi Yan thought that she had just come back, in a short period of time, what could Rong Fei say

“Said that Missy is a disaster star, not only did she kill the fifth prince, but now that she is guarding inside this imperial tomb, the bogey is even heavier, and the ladies who came to the wake had accidents one after another, and it was also because of Missy.” Bi Yun said in a low voice.

“This will make them press on” Mu Zi Yan felt that it was far from that.

“There’s no side.” Biyun continued.

And the concubine Yi who followed behind looked at Mu Zi Yan through the concubines in front and gave her a wink, and then she lowered her eyes at that moment.

Mu Zi Yan carefully contemplated for a moment, raised her eyes to look not far away from the royal tomb underground, and then looked at the concubines in front of her, then remembered that blood red jade bracelet, she understood at once, turned her eyes to look at Yunxiang, “The other concubines can be abnormal at night these days”
