Chapter 169 – Third Prince’s Entanglement (Second Shift) (1 / 2)

Zhang Zong and Mu Zi Yan exchanged a glance, and the two of them turned around and rushed to that part of the bamboo forest.

The chapter Staffer and Qi Xuan, who were keeping an eye on Blue Xiner, returned early in the morning, and the two of them were silent.

When the group arrived at the bamboo forest, they saw that the body of the deceased had already disappeared, and even the guards had been killed.

“Within the palace, such a rampant thing can happen, Senior Zhang, this palace orders you to investigate this matter thoroughly and to find out the murderer.” Jun Yuxuan had always been cordial, but now she was clearly enraged.

“Yes.” Zhang Zong also felt that this murderer was too crazy, just being able to take the dead away in a flash and destroy the evidence, this person must still be inside the palace.

“My lord, all the clues in this matter have been cut off, and now that even the deceased has been taken captive, I think the murderer must have placed experts inside the palace.” Mu Zi Yan looked at Zhang Zong and said.

“En.” Zhang Zong responded with his own approval.

“If this is true, then this matter is afraid to be difficult.” Mu Zi Yan looked at him and said, “This murderer must be within all of you, and your every move is within the murderer’s ears.”

“Second Miss Lu has a good point.” Wang Still interjected at this rare moment.

Jun Yuxuan responded approvingly, “In that case, what about relying on Second Miss Lu”

“Since all the clues have already been broken, even if this matter is investigated further, it will not yield any results.” Mu Zi Yan salutes towards Jun Yuxuan, “I also hope that Your Highness will not be disturbed by this matter, so as not to be caught in the murderer’s trap.”

“Lv two girls said is not unreasonable, just this palace, under the eyes of the public can let the murderer so free, this palace as a princess, can not tolerate” Jun Yuxuan cold voice said.

“What Your Highness said is very true, how about this” Mu Zi Yan looked towards Jun Yuxuan at this moment, signaling to come forward and speak.

“En.” Jun Yuxuan nodded slightly, and then she saw Mu Zi Yan come forward towards Jun Yuxuan and attached her ear.

The crowd all set their gazes on Mu Zi Yan’s body, and then they saw her step backward after she spoke.

“This dinner will end here, this palace is also tired, so I will return to the palace.” Jun Yuxuan said indifferently, then lifted her steps and walked out.

Wang Still gave Mu Zi Yan a meaningful look before leaving with Jun Yuxuan.

Mu Zi Yan stood on the side of Zhang Zong, and Lu Niangzi stood in a place, straight until all the people are each out of the palace dispersed, Mu Zi Yan sat in the carriage, pondering.

“The murderer is Lan Xin’er” Niang Lu asked as she looked at Mu Zi Yan.

“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded her head and responded, “But she was smart enough to destroy all the evidence.”

“What did you say to the Fifth Princess,” Nyonya Lu continued.

“Making a scene nowadays is just fueling the murderer’s flames, so it’s better to retreat and let the murderer throw himself into the net.” Mu Zi Yan said faintly.

“The Fifth Princess believes you,” Niang Lu looked at her incredulously.

“The Fifth Princess has been intelligent since, I think that tonight’s matter will be rumored within the capital city’s families, and that murderer will definitely not live in peace.” Mu Zi Yan sneered.

“Just what is Blue Xiner’s purpose” Niang Lu looked at Mu Zi Yan and asked in puzzlement.

“I don’t know.” Mu Zi Yan shook her head.

“There’s still something you can’t guess, it seems that this Lan Xin’er is indeed not simple.” Niangzi Lu said as she looked at Mu Zi Yan.

“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded her head and responded, “Therefore, we’d better wait and see what happens.”

“Good.” Niangzi Lu also knew that this matter would be left unsettled.

Only Zhang Zong at the moment in the outside looking forward together with Jun Qianhao, this frown, I do not know why this three emperors in the end to follow him!

“Third Highness, the Third Prince’s Mansion is on a different road from the Jingzhao Yin’s Mansion.” Zhang Zong rode a little behind Jun Qianhao’s side and said in a low voice.

“This palace is going to sit at the capital magistrate’s office.” Jun Qianhao said in a low voice.

“This,” Zhang Zong looked at him and said so, this ruler and minister, he could not disobey, so he answered, “Yes.”

Niangzi Lu lifted the curtain to take a look, then put it down, “What did Third Highness say when he summoned you to the bamboo forest just now”

“Dao broke his identity.” Mu Zi Yan looked at Lady Lu, “He followed”

“En.” Lady Lu nodded her head in response.

“Looks like he won’t stop.” The corner of Mu Zi Yan’s mouth was slightly skewed, “Just let him follow, it’s just as well that I need to talk to him.”

“En.” Niangzi Lu saw that Mu Zi Yan didn’t seem to be worried about the Third Prince exposing her identity.

To the Beijing Zhaoyin government office, Mu Ziyan got off the carriage, because the third prince to come, Zhang Staffer and other people are inconvenient to come, so now they are also anxious to go back to their homes.

Mu Zi Yan stood beside the carriage and waited until Jun Qian Hao got off the carriage, Zhang Zong followed him to the side, and only then did they enter the government office together, passing through the public hall and entering the back hall, where Jun Qian Hao stood inside the courtyard, apparently waiting for Mu Zi Yan.

Mu Zi Yan didn’t have any surprise, instead she calmly went forward, “Third Highness, please.”

“En.” Jun Qianhao saw that she was so intelligent, and then he raised his steps forward, and waited until the two of them walked backward, through a corridor, past the hanging flower gate, and then traveled to an elegant court.

The last yuan festival will come, but this weather is still through the cold, aside there are already maids in the pavilion set up a warm tent, and then put a warm stove, then retired.

Mu Zi Yan and Jun Qian Hao entered the pavilion, the two of them took their seats, Mu Zi Yan looked at him, “Third Highness, if there is any deal, feel free to speak directly.”

“A deal,” Jun Qianhao looked at her, “there is.”

“What,” Muzzy Smoke asked bluntly, raising her eyebrows in understanding.

“When this palace comes to seek out county princess later, county princess cannot turn this palace away.” Jun Qianhao said with a light smile.

Mu Zi Yan looked at him in disbelief, “Third Highness, you’re interested in me”

“Haha,” Jun Qianhao had never thought that there could be a woman in this world with such bold words, and apart from Zhong Xuan, Mu Zi Yan was the second.

“Am I wrong” Mu Zi Yan continued, “Your Third Highness shouldn’t think that all the men in this world are dead, so what makes me want to be with Your Third Highness”

Jun Qianhao stopped laughing, “Is this palace not worthy of the princess?”

“Can’t match.” Mu Zi Yan looked at Jun Qian Hao, remembered the past life of all sorts of things, she did not Jun Qian Hao at this moment to kill, has been counted on her generosity, he can be good, but also in turn to provoke her heart to find death.

“You’re the only one in this world who can say that this Palace is not worthy of you.” Jun Qianhao said with a hooked lip and a light smile, even though Zhong Xuan had never said it either.

“Third Highness, I know you’re not just for this, it’s better to get to the point.” Mu Zi Yan didn’t believe that Jun Qian Hao was seriously interested in her appearance, and was afraid that he was interested in the fact that she had repeatedly sabotaged Zhong Xuan’s schemes, and that was why he was pulling the strings on her.

Jun Qianhao’s intention is indeed very clear, what he wants is Mu Zi Yan this person, as long as there is Zhong Xuan and Mu Zi Yan two people together, he wants to sit on that throne must be an easy thing, not to mention, he found on Mu Zi Yan generated great interest.

Where can Mu Zi Yan not see his mind, true villain hypocrite, she would rather be close to the true villain than deal with the hypocrite.

But Jun Qianhao is a complete hypocrite, he can smile and kill between the invisible, in the face of their own useful people, even if disgusted to the extreme, but can be treated intimately, once the use of thorough after he will be mercilessly destroyed, this is Jun Qianhao’s ruthlessness.

Mu Zi Yan is thinking, Jun Qian Hao such a person simply do not understand feelings, and never give a true heart, so he and Zhong Xuan is the same kind of person, things are similar to the crowd, said so, and often this kind of person, but always want to find a relative with him inside the person, as a way to fill the emptiness and loneliness in his heart, so he can be gentle in the face of Zhong Xuan to the extreme, but has never loved her.

Zhong Xuan was the same, these two were truly a perfect match.

So, what about Leng Hanfeng? Is he Zhong Xuan’s pawn, or is he just a dog and his wife who use each other to commit adultery?

Mu Zi Yan looked at Jun Qian Hao in front of her, and was nothing but disgusted.

Jun Qianhao looked straight into her eyes and then said, “This palace believes that the county princess will be impressed by this palace’s sincerity.”

Mu Zi Yan’s eyes flashed with a flash of ghostly light as she coldly laughed, “If Third Highness says so, then I have nothing to say.”

Jun Qianhao saw her decisive refusal, but he became more and more interested in Mu Zi Yan, and then said, “What happened in the palace this night, how does the county princess see it”

“Even if there is an explanation for this matter, I am still explaining it to the fifth princess, I don’t need Third Highness to bother.” Mu Zi Yan said and got up, “It’s getting late, Third Highness please.”

Jun Qianhao raised an eyebrow, anyway, he would have plenty of opportunities in the coming days.

When Jun Qianhao left, Niangzi Lu and Zhang Zong hurriedly came to look for her, “What exactly is this Third Highness going to do”

“Doing what,” Mu Zi Yan sneered, “making me the second Zhong Xuan.”

“Delusional.” Zhang Zong clapped his hands on the side and drank coldly.

Lady Lu nodded and responded, “Exactly, he inevitably thinks too highly of himself.”

Mu Zi Yan smiled faintly, “Let him be.”

“Yan’er ah, aren’t you worried that he will expose your identity, or is he using this to blackmail you now” Niangzi Lu looked at Mu Zi Yan and couldn’t help but worry.

“En.” Mu Zi Yan was silent for a moment, then said, “I won’t let him have his way.”

“It seems you already have an idea.” Lady Lui continued.

“No.” Mu Zi Yan shook her head, “But it’s just that it’s not the right time to clean him up today.”

“Don’t you think that Mr. Wang is a bit strange,” Zhang Zong saw Mu Zi Yan say so, so he changed the topic.

“Yes.” Mu Zi Yan continued, “This Wang Gongzi is not simple, it is better to have less contact in the future.”

“En.” Zhang Zong nodded approvingly, “It’s just that the matter of the palace tonight”

“She must have something in mind when she does this, and if she fails once, she will surely do it again.” Mu Zi Yan then got up and walked towards the outside of the hall, “Just wait for her to strike.”

“You say the opposite.” Zhang Zong nodded his head in response, and then saw that Mu Zi Yan had already stepped out of the hall and returned to her house.

Zhang Zong looked towards Niangzi Lu, “This girl’s mind is getting harder and harder to gauge.”

“I didn’t expect this Third Highness to have a poisonous eye.” Niangzi Lu whispered, “Do you think someone else will find out?”

“I don’t know.” Zhang Zong shook his head, “Nowadays, we can only take one step at a time.”

“En.” Lady Lu nodded her head in response.

The two of them then also no longer say anything, at that moment, each went back to the house to rest.

The next day, Mu Zi Yan had just woken up when she saw Su Qin Rou rushing over with Hou Yi Yi and Qi Xue Er, surrounding her.

“What’s going on here,” Mu Zi Yan looked at them with a raised eyebrow.

“Sister Mu, are you alright,” Su Qinrou came forward and asked in a small voice.

“Do I look like I’m up to something,” Mu Zi Yan responded with a smile.

“It’s good that you’re fine.” Hou Yi Yi then breathed a sigh of relief, “I didn’t sleep all night worrying about it.”

“What is there to worry about,” Mu Zi Yan said with a light smile, “but it’s just the Third Highness coming to inquire about the palace.”

“I thought that the Third Prince was interested in you” Su Qinrou looked at Mu Zi Yan and wanted to speak.

“You.” Mu Zi Yan raised her hand and pinched her nose, “Even if he’s interested, I can’t see it.”

“Yes, it’s better not to touch a smiling tiger like the Third Prince.” Hou Yi Yi responded in agreement.

“However, last night’s incident in the palace,” Su Qinruo was still a little worried.

“It doesn’t matter.” Mu Zi Yan said indifferently, “This matter will wait.”

“In that case, then I am relieved.” Su Qinrou smiled and responded, “Yes, in a few days it will be the Shang Yuan Festival, but sister Mu is going to go”

“En.” The corner of Mu Zi Yan’s mouth slightly hooked, “This kind of hustle and bustle has to go and get together since.”

“Yes, there’s no chance that we’ll meet the person of our choice.” Hou Yi Yi joked from the side.

“See, it’s really different, nowadays such shameless words can be said.” Mu Zi Yan said as she raised her hand and pinched her cheek.

“I,” Hou Yi Yi had wanted to poke fun at Mu Zi Yan, but now she made fun of her instead.

When Su Qinrou and the others left, Mu Zi Yan thought about the matter of the palace last night, and she felt that this matter should not be over yet.

As expected, Zhang Zong had just gotten out of the morning court and returned to the Jingzhao Yin’s government office when he saw Jun Qianhao also come along.

Niangzi Lu frowned deeply as she looked at Mu Zi Yan, “How can this Third Highness not be a ghost?”

“It’s really a shady soul.” Mu Zi Yan sneered.

She then stood outside the back hall with Niangzi Lu, and when Jun Qianhao entered, the two of them saluted respectfully.

“My daughter sees Third Highness.” Mu Zi Jing whispered.

“My daughter sees the Third Highness.” Although Niangzi Lu had quite a bit of dissatisfaction in her heart, she couldn’t lose her rules nowadays.

Jun Qianhao saw that Mu Zi Yan was very cold to him, but did not think so, but lifted his steps into the hall and sat with the main seat, “The case of the palace, the emperor ordered this palace to supervise the investigation.”

“Yes.” Zhang Zong answered with his head hanging down.

When Mu Zi Yan saw Jun Qian Hao explaining his intentions, the corner of his mouth hooked into a cold smile and he nodded his head in response.

Jun Qianhao continued, “I wonder what progress has been made in the case.”

Zhang Zong then returned, “Back to Third Highness, there has been no other progress today.”

“Where is Second Miss Lu,” Jun Qianhao asked as he looked at Mu Zi Yan.

“Back to Third Highness, but you are traveling to the palace again,” Mu Zi Yan asked in a low voice.

“In that case, then go.” Jun Qianhao said and got up before heading out.

Zhang Zong, Mu Zi Yan and Lu Niangzi followed, and when the group headed to the palace, Wang Still had already gotten the letter and was waiting inside the palace.

“Wang Still sees Third Highness.” Even though Wang Jing was the son of the Yu Nan Wang family, he had to bow respectfully when facing Jun Qian Hao.

“There is no need to be polite, Mr. Wang.” Jun Qianhao said in a warm voice.

“Thank you Third Highness.” Wang Still also looked kind to Mu Zi Yan.

Mu Zi Yan on the sidelines to see only feel a “false”, she lowered her eyes do not say, just follow Zhang Zong’s footsteps into the palace.

Straight until Mu Zi Yan went back to the bamboo forest, carefully examined some, did not find any clues, and then went to the medicine garden, since there is no discovery.

Zhang Zong looked at her with a worried frown, “This murderer is clearing out all the clues.”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded and responded, “Very thorough indeed.”

“Then where should we start” Niangzi Lu looked at Mu Zi Yan and asked.

“Blue Xiner.” Mu Zi Yan said faintly, “But now it can’t be said, there’s only one step to take.”

“You’re right.” Nyx nodded.

Jun Qianhao came forward at this moment, “Have you found anything?”

“Back to Third Highness, there is not the slightest clue.” Zhang Zong continued, “It’s just that it’s indeed too dangerous for the palace to have such an expert going in and out.”

“Since this person is able to move freely, he must be someone within the palace, as long as we thoroughly investigate the cadre of people within the palace, we will be able to find the clues.” Jun Qian Hao said as he looked at Mu Zi Yan.

Mu Zi Yan nodded slightly, “What Third Highness said is very true.”

“In that case, let’s proceed with the cross-examination.” Jun Qianhao continued.

“Yes.” Zhang Zong responded, then turned around and led the magistrates to interrogate them one by one.

And Mu Zi Yan and Niangzi Lu did not leave, but stood aside, not knowing what they were thinking.

Wang still walked forward, “Does Miss Lu have something to say?”

“No.” Mu Zi Yan frankly responded, “But looking at this medicinal garden is somewhat familiar.”

“Oh,” Wang still raised his eyes to look at the medicinal garden in front of him, “It seems that Second Miss Lu is familiar with medicinal herbs.”

“Can’t be considered familiar, just a little knowledge.” Mu Zi Yan said calmly, then lifted her steps and entered the medicine garden, walking slowly.

Wang still looked over along with her figure, Jun Qianhao stood at one side, glanced at her and whispered, “Mr. Wang has some concern for Miss Lu Er”

“Just curious.” Wang Still returned indifferently, then lifted his steps and followed.

Jun Qian Hao’s eyes flashed with a cold light, and when he saw that Mu Zi Yan was squatting in a place full of white flowers, he didn’t stop and followed him.

Niangzi Lu stood at Mu Zi Yan’s side since, looking at her with downcast eyes, “What is this”

“Five Elements Grass.” Mu Zi Yan lowered her eyes and carefully examined it.

It was only when Wang Still and Jun Qianhao came together that Mu Zi Yan got up, “I hadn’t expected that there could be five elemental grasses within this medicinal garden.”

“What’s so special about this,” Wang Still asked in a low voice as he lowered his eyes to look at it.

“Can this herb be picked back” Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to Wang Still and asked.

“This,” Wang Still turned his eyes to Jun Qianhao.

Jun Qianhao looked at her, “If you like it, this palace will order someone to pick some back for you.”

“Thank you Third Highness.” Mu Zi Yan answered with her eyes downcast, “It’s fine for my daughter to come by herself.”

“I’ll help.” Niangzi Lu said as she looked at Mu Zi Yan.

“Sister just take a brocade bag and give it to me.” Mu Zi Yan looked at Niangzi Lu and said with a smile.

“Good.” Lady Lu nodded her head in response, then she took the brocade bag at her waist and handed it to her, “What does this herb do”

“This one,” Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly, “clears heat and detoxifies.”
