Chapter 170 – The Death of the Fourth Princess and the Mystery of the Fifth Prince (Highlights) (2 / 2)

“Yes.” From Sister then, she did not dare to say anything more.

After Mu Zi Yan was properly dressed, she rushed to the capital in a carriage and waited until late at night to enter the palace, when she went to the Fourth Princess’s bedchamber.

The Empress Dowager had been waiting outside and sighed when she saw her coming, “She wants to see you for a moment.”

“Yes.” Mu Zi Yan respectfully bowed to the Empress Dowager, and then she entered the bedchamber.

After going in, they saw a baby lying beside the fourth princess, a wrinkled baby with a red face, because it was not born in full term, so it looked too small and thin, as if a hand could lift it up.

“It’s the daughter.” The Fourth Princess said as she looked at Mu Zi Yan.

“Congratulations Your Highness.” Mu Zi Yan said with downcast eyes.

“Come here.” Jun Yufei said as she looked at her.

“Yes.” Mu Zi Yan walked forward and sat beside the bed.

Jun Yufei looked at her, “As smart as you are, you should know what I’ve called you here for.”

“Yes.” Mu Zi Yan hung her head and answered.

“I will entrust this child to you.” Jun Yufei then raised her hand and handed her a box, “This is my heart’s blood, and I will give it to you together.”

“Your Highness.” Mu Zi Yan looked at her, “What if I can’t protect you”

“I believe you will be able to protect it.” Jun Yufei gripped her hand tightly, “The only one I can trust in this world is you, I had a dream yesterday and it was all about you, I know who you are, so I’ll entrust her to you, I’m relieved.”

Mu Zi Yan was obviously stunned, then understood, the original predestined things, she whispered, “Your Highness has ever regretted.”

“Regret” Jun Yufei hooked her lips in a light smile, “Regret falling in love with her own royal brother and dominating him by any means necessary, finally forcing him to die of shame”

“But this child,” Mu Zi Yan looked at her and whispered, “this harem is naturally not a place for her to stay.”

“That is why I entrusted her to you.” Jun Yufei gripped her hand tightly, “I came to this world to atone for my sins, since I planted the evil fruits, all the sins will be retributed on me, just let me bring it to you, I know that even though you have endured so much, this heart is good, this child is just my child.”

Mu Zi Yan closed her eyes, “Your Highness, the Empress Dowager’s place”

“The Empress Dowager has promised.” Jun Yufei whispered, “I have done so much for the Empress Dowager to atone for my sins, it should be enough.”

“Your Highness.” Mu Zi Yan did not know what to say at this moment, such a woman, whether she should be hated or pitied

Jun Yufei hooked her lips and smiled lightly, “I’m relieved, aren’t I? At the very least, I know my royal brother’s heart, I have endured all the sufferings in this life, just wanting to let my royal brother not need to be in that kind of pain on the way to the Yellow Springs, and I’ve done it, haven’t I? Now that I’ve left my hopes in the world, and my last hang-ups, I just hope that she’ll be able to live purely and happily, and I’ll have the face to go and see my royal brother too! .”

“Your Highness.” Mu Zi Yan did not know what to say, a person’s words are good even when he is about to die, she understood that what Jun Yufei was saying now was the deepest pain suppressed in her heart.

Jun Yufei turned her eyes to look at the baby in the swaddling clothes, the corners of her mouth raised in a bright smile, the corners of her eyes moist, she just looked at it like this looking at it seemed to be able to imagine what the child would look like when it grew up.

“Your Highness can give a name,” Mu Zi Yan asked with a smile.

“There is no worry, no pain, no sorrow, no hatred, so let’s call the confederate.” Jun Yufei looked at her and whispered, “Can I call you Smokey?”

“Yes.” Mu Zi Yan answered softly.

“Smoke, I know the suffering you have endured, but do you know that you still have another chance to choose, while I don’t want to, I just want to go with the wind, I just want to go and see my royal brother, hopefully in my next life, I can grow old with him, and it will not be in vain of the trials and tribulations I have endured in this life.” Jun Yufei gently holds her hand, “Live well, hatred is most capable of obliterating humanity, put it down at the right time in order to get forever.”

Mu Zi Yan nodded and responded, “Your Highness, you will find happiness.”

“Happiness” Jun Yufei sighed, “Well, I should go too”

Mu Zi Yan sat beside the bed, straight until she slowly closed her eyes, the corners of her mouth with a satisfied smile, the corner of the eyes of the crystal tears, Mu Zi Yan suddenly felt that life in the world is nothing more than this, she has gained and lost, love, pain, and in the end, but will be attached to stay in the world.

She only felt a little dryness in her throat, but she could not shed a single tear, just gently took the baby beside her in her arms and turned to go out of the dormitory.

When the Empress Dowager saw her come out, her eyes flashed with a touch of sadness, then she said, “The Fourth Princess has died.”

At that moment, they saw Pin’er leading all the palace maids kneeling on the ground and bawling, while Mu Zi Yan knelt in front of the Empress Dowager’s heel.

The Empress Dowager looked at her like this and sighed quietly, “You take her away.”

“Yes.” Mu Zi Yan said no more, respectfully saluted, and left with confederate.

When she was out of the palace, with the cries coming from her ears and the cold wind rolling up the layers of waves, it seemed that she could see Jun Yufei quietly leaving to find her true happiness.

She looked down at the baby in her swaddling clothes and resolutely left this palace.

On that day, news came from the palace that the Fourth Princess had died in childbirth, giving birth to a baby girl, who soon followed.

Mu Zi Yan sat in the carriage, holding the newly born confederate out of the capital, back to the imperial mausoleum.

She didn’t know why she had agreed to Jun Yufei adopting this child, but she did, and when she entered the palace, she saw Sister and Aunt Ling waiting for her.

She looked up at them, “The Fourth Princess has gone.”

“Sheriff Master.” The two then knelt down.

Mu Zi Yan sighed, then handed the child over to Auntie Spirit before turning around and entering the bedchamber.

To open the box, which contains a letterhead, and a token, and a number of tokens, she then opened the letterhead, carefully read after, took over the fire pot, will be that letterhead burned clean.

Rue Xiang hung her head and entered, “Eldest Miss.”

“En,” Mu Zi Yan turned her eyes to look at her, “How is confederate?”

“Aunt Spirit has sought out a nursemaid, and little miss is fine.” Yunxiang whispered back.

“Little Miss,” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes flashed with a flash of ghostly light, “Yes, Little Miss.”

“Eldest Miss, how should this little miss be placed” Yun Xiang then asked.

“Send her to the Hot Springs Manor.” Mu Zi Yan continued, “Her name is confederate, she is the young miss of the Marquis Mu’s residence.”

“Yes.” Yun Xiang answered and then retreated.

Mu Zi Yan leaned back on the soft couch, staring at the token and playing with it, slowly closing her eyes.

At some point, a person suddenly dropped down, she slowly opened her eyes, and when she saw the visitor, her eyes flashed with a ghostly light, “You come back”

“Eh.” The person in front of her sat on her side, “Feeling sorry for the fourth imperial sister.”

“You know about the fourth princess” Mu Zi Yan looked at Jun Qian Yu in front of her and asked.

“En.” Jun Qian Yu nodded, “It is said that the second imperial brother’s early death was due to a serious illness, in fact, back then, the second imperial brother was unable to accept this matter before he cut himself.”

“Does he love the Fourth Princess,” Mu Zi Yan asked in a low voice.

“If you don’t love, you won’t be in so much pain won’t you” Jun Qian Yu looked at her, “In fact, the fourth imperial sister is not father’s own daughter.”

“I know.” Mu Zi Yan said in a low voice, “It was stated within the Fourth Princess’ last letter.”

“Since you know all about it, why are you asking me” Jun Qian Yu propped one hand on his jaw and looked at her with a smile.

“What are you doing back this time” Mu Zi Yan looked at him carefully, her eyes flashed a faint cold light, only to feel that his breath was unsteady.

Jun Qian Yu stretched his arms, “Originally, I couldn’t come, but thinking that I hadn’t seen you for a long time, I came over to take a look and see if you had changed your mind.”

“Change of heart” Mu Zi Yan raised her eyebrows, “I have no heart, how can I talk about changing my heart”

“I heard that the third imperial brother is stalking you these days, it seems that Smokey’s ability to attract peach blossoms is not small.” Jun Qian Yu suddenly came forward and gazed at her quietly, “Have you thought of me these days?”

Mu Zi Yan fell backward and laughed lowly, “Why should I miss you”

“It seems that Smokey doesn’t have me in her heart anymore.” Jun Qian Yu sighed quietly, “The person who hugged my legs and cried out when she was a child has really changed her heart now.”

Mu Zi Yan, however, felt that there was something wrong with him, and while he was off guard, she raised her hand and held his wrist, but with a gentle pulse, her eyes flashed a touch of darkness, “You’ve been poisoned”

“I am not well,” Jun Qian Yu slowly got up, “Since I see that you are unharmed, I will leave.”

“Stand still.” Mu Zi Yan felt that Jun Qian Yu had come this time with great parting intentions, she went forward and stood in front of him, “Are you seriously disregarding yourself”

“Are you still sad” Jun Qian Yu asked as he looked at her with downcast eyes.

“I am sad to do what” Mu Zi Yan know what he is asking, she looked at Jun Yufei’s death, this heart is really blocked panic, so now is trying to find a person to talk to, coincidentally, Jun Qian Yu came, but she did not have time to feel emotion, he went away like this.

Mu Zi Yan whispered, “It’s rather like him, coming and going when he says so.”

“He,” Jun Qian Yu visibly froze and looked at her with downcast eyes, “Who is that he that Smokey is talking about”

“I’m just talking off the top of my head.” Mu Zi Yan has always treated Jun Qian Yu as an elder brother, no different from Mu Ling Xuan, she looks at him, “Tell me why you were poisoned”

“Old habits.” Jun Qian Yu said indifferently, “Who is he that you casually mentioned”

“Who else could there be,” Mu Zi Yan retorted, “If you want to go, then go.”

Jun Qian Yu was standing still at the moment, “No, I won’t leave until you say who it is.”

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyebrows, and when she saw Jun Qian Yu like this, she whispered, “Then tell me first, what’s going on with the poison on your body”

“Smoke can’t see it,” Jun Qian Yu then sat down and raised his eyes to look at her, “Ai, sure enough, he’s changed his mind about me.”

“You don’t show up for a long time, how can I know what’s going on with you” Mu Zi Yan then sat down and looked straight at him.

“Let’s not talk about that, let’s get back to the point.” Jun Qian Yu looks straight at her, “Do you really want to send that child to the hot spring manor”

Mu Zi Yan froze this time, only feeling that it was too weird for him to come at this moment, and that his speech was a bit upside down, but she could only nod her head, “I can’t take care of her.”

“That’s true.” Jun Qian Yu nodded his head and responded, “In that case, I will leave.”

Mu Zi Yan saw him get up to leave, now she wanted to stop him, before she could say anything, he had already flown away.

She then sat down, thinking about the symptoms of the pulse she had taken just now, and carefully pondered over it; he said it was an old problem, and that pulse was fast and slow, so there was indeed something wrong with it.

While she was pondering, she saw Yunxiang enter with her head hanging down, “Eldest Miss, Little Miss has been crying non-stop.”

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes and looked at Yun Xiang, “It seems that sending it at this time is not possible.”

“Eldest Miss, could it be that you want to,” Yunxiang understood at once when she heard what Mu Zi Yan said.

“Anyway, there is nothing going on in the capital nowadays, so I don’t have to stay there, so I will simply tend to her for a few days within the imperial mausoleum.” Mu Zi Yan said indifferently, “Carry confederate over.”

“Yes.” Yunxiang was not understanding why the eldest young lady was entrusted by the fourth princess

I’m afraid that Mu Zi Yan doesn’t understand, maybe because of what the Fourth Princess said when she was dying, that dream she had, maybe because of the rights that the Fourth Princess handed over to her when she was dying, or maybe just because of this child.

When Yunxiang carried the crying confabulator over, Mu Zi Yan got up and carried her into her arms, looked down at her face that was not yet open, and raised her eyes to look at Yunxiang, “Where is the milkmaid?”

“Waiting outside.” Yun Xiang hung her head and answered.

“En.” Mu Zi Yan faintly responded, “Tell her to come over in an hour.”

“Yes.” Yun Xiang answered and then retreated.

Mu Zi Yan held confabricated, raised her eyes and looked outside, Jun Qian Yu came this time for what?

As she pondered this, she coaxed the confederate, her eyes flashing with a touch of warmth.

Inside the capital, the Empress Dowager looked at Jun Qian Yu who was kneeling in front of her and sighed quietly, “After all, you still can’t rest assured.”

“Grandmother.” Jun Qian Yu raises his eyes to look at the Empress Dowager, his handsome and stunning face is permeated with bloodless pallor, and his body is somewhat shaky.

“You this child, do you think I will kill her not” the empress dowager said with a grave expression, then got up and walked to his side, helping him to sit down, “you are now a critical moment, but also deliberately rushed to, in case you have a good or bad, I how”

“Grandmother.” Jun Qian Yu couldn’t help but cough a few times, “This time, grandchildren are nine deaths, if they can really survive, grandchildren will surely guard her well, if they go in this way, please grandmothers can look at grandchildren’s face, treat her well, don’t take it out on grandchildren and get angry with her.”

After Jun Qian Yu said that, he then knelt down and respectfully bowed heavily.

“Why don’t you tell her the truth” the Empress Dowager couldn’t help but sigh, “haven’t you done enough for her”

“Grandma, grandchildren this body, and how can drag with her, rather let her heart live, also lest know, if the grandchildren can not pass this hurdle, this went, grandchildren and how can I bear to let her a person in pain to live in the world” Jun Qian Yu raised his eyes to look at the empress dowager, said in a soft voice.

“Even so, the mourning family,” the Empress Dowager’s eyes overflowed with sorrow, but she had to hold it back.

“Grandmother, grandson begs you.” Jun Qian Yu knelt down and said as he raised his eyes to look at her.

“also, mourning family and can withstand you how it,” the empress dowager sighed quietly, “you just go, mourning family will protect her one or two.”

“Grandson thanks Grandmother.” Jun Qian Yu coughed violently, braced himself to get up, turned around and headed out.

The empress dowager looked at his departing back, her eyes overflowing with worry, whispered, “Yu’er ah, if you can come back alive unharmed, the mourning family won’t be how she is, if you have an eventuality, the mourning family will definitely let her go with you, in the nine springs, you also have a companion.”

Beijing Zhaoyin’s government office, Zhang Zong is pacing back and forth with a worried frown, when Niangzi Lu saw him like this, she also sighed along, “I don’t know how Smokey is doing”

“She sent word that she would stay at the Imperial Tomb for the next few days.” Zhang Zong looked at Niangzi Lu and said.

“Why would she agree to the Fourth Princess” Niangzi Lu was quite puzzled, only thinking how she, a child, could raise a baby

Zhang Zong looked at her, “I’m afraid there is an unspeakable reason here.”

“Everything can only wait until she returns as well.” Niangzi Lu continued, “Just who else knows about this child”

“She sent a letter to tell you and me, so I guess only the Empress Dowager knows about it.” Zhang Zong continued.

“So be it.” Lady Lu nodded in response, “Then the existence of this child”

“And we can only wait until she returns.” Zhang Zong said in a deep voice.

“I’m just worried about her.” Lady Lu turned around and went back to her house after saying that.

Inside the Mu Hou Mansion, the old madam listened to the report from Sister, “The child is also dead.”

“Yes.” From Sister, she hung her head and responded, “One body, two lives.”

“It is unexpected.” The old madam pondered for a moment, “Wait, when Smokey left the palace, did you see that she left alone?”

“Yes.” From Sister, she hung her head and answered, “Eldest Miss did not bring anything else with her.”

“It seems that this Fourth Princess really died in vain.” The old madam continued, “This child should not have come into this world, so why did she bother to take her own life”

“Old Lady, the Third Master is still in the palace today.” From Sister continued.

“It is supposed to be in.” The old lady said faintly.

“When the Fourth Princess was on her way out, she presented the Empress Dowager with a letter of peace and separation, and the Empress Dowager graciously approved it.” From Sister carefully replied.

“What,” the old lady looked at Sister Conger in surprise, “is a letter of divorce?”

“Precisely, now I think the Third Master has already left the palace with the letter of peace.” From Sister continued.

“Good, what a fourth princess.” The old madam said in exasperation, “Isn’t she intentionally slapping me in the face”

“Old madam, nowadays the Third Master is afraid to be even more angry.” From Sister continued, “These days, the Marquis Mu Mansion has instead become a haven for the Fourth Princess.”

“So what,” the old lady snorted coldly, “in the end, it’s still a dead body, even the child was not saved, just that she even counted on me.”

“It’s just that now that the Fourth Princess has gone, the matter is finalized for the Old Madame.” From Sister whispered back.

At this moment, they heard footsteps coming from outside, and from afar, they saw Mu Qinglin coming with an iron face.
