Chapter 172 – Jun Qianhao and Zhong Xuan’s Disconnection (2 / 2)
by Jessie@AFNCCJun Qianhao looked towards Zhong Xuan and suddenly became interested, “How about Xuan’er accompanying this palace for a game”
“Good.” Zhong Xuan readily answered and ordered people to prepare, and then the two of them played the game again.
He waited until late at night, Jun Qianhao narrowly won a son, he raised his eyes to look at Zhong Xuan, and then thought of Mu Zi Yan, both are deep-minded women, good at calculating, but Zhong Xuan is more focused on the immediate gains and losses, she can play power, by any means necessary, but lacks the power to buy people’s hearts, and prefers a quick fix.
But Mu Zi Yan is different, she can coordinate the whole situation, but also can be steady, down-to-earth every step, the immediate gains and losses are only temporary, the final blow is fatal.
Zhong Xuan is good at planning, but she is too proud and conceited, calculating step by step, ruthless and overbearing, but also highlights her fatal shortcomings, while Mu Ziyan is able to circumvent her own shortcomings, so that the enemy can not feel her pulse movement for a time.
These two people are equal, but they are also opposite, at two extremes.
Jun Qianhao looked at Zhong Xuan, and remembered Mu Zi Yan, undoubtedly Zhong Xuan can become a generation of sirens, but it is really difficult to become a wise empress, while Mu Zi Yan can become a virtuous queen who can win the hearts of the people, as the late empress that.
Zhong Xuan could see the calculations in Jun Qianhao’s heart, and her eyes converged to remove a touch of darkness as she said in a low voice, “Your Highness, do you think that my concubine has acted too ruthlessly?”
“No.” Jun Qianhao raised his eyes to look at her, “Only then can we achieve our goal as quickly as possible.”
“But it’s not what a righteous person would do.” Zhong Xuan whispered, “I know that Your Highness, now that your heart is set on Second Miss Lu, will feel that Second Miss Lu is honorable and intelligent, while my concubine is the exact opposite.”
Jun Qianhao laughed lowly, “Xuan’er really thinks so.”
“En.” Zhong Xuan nodded her head, but she didn’t feel that what she did was wrong, as long as she achieved her goal, what was the harm in doing whatever it took
Jun Qianhao used to think so, but now he has to reflect on what to do, in the end, even if you get the throne, but lost the hearts of the people, the throne can not do for a long time.
If there was no Mu Zi Yan, Jun Qian Hao would have thought that he and Zhong Xuan were the same kind of people, but now, he felt that he should think carefully about what to do in the future.
Zhong Xuan saw Jun Qian Hao get up, get off the soft couch and turn around to leave, she put down the chess pieces in her hand, the corner of her mouth hooked up with a cold smile, “Jun Qian Hao, you’re not the only one in the world who can sit on that throne, if you’re dissenting from me, I’ll support someone else.”
Jun Qianhao is indeed different from his previous life, if Mu Ziyan had not been reborn, if all things follow the trajectory of his previous life, Jun Qianhao will certainly be with Zhong Xuan together by all means to plan for the emperor, but in the end in the end what is the end of the end, for fear that even Jun Qianhao can not imagine.
Mu Zi Yan did not know that her actions, but let Jun Qian Hao have a new plan, so that in her calculations in the future is more countless difficulties and tribulations.
Since Jun Qianhao that day and Mu Zi smoke game, he seems to have become another person, treating the staff and the court more and more humble and courteous, if ever treated the Prince of the great swords and crossbows of the situation, but now it is a change of nature, treating the Prince of the Prince is even more respectful, in turn, so that the Prince of the Prince of the some do not know what to do up.
The more this happened, the more uneasy Crown Prince Jun Qian Che became, only feeling that Jun Qian Hao’s move was too bizarre.
Jun Qianhao, on the other hand, has changed and gained the love of the courtiers and their trust in him.
Since that day for a month, Jun Qianhao are rain or shine every day will come to find Mu Zi Yan, and Mu Zi Yan’s attitude towards him is still cold, and he did not think, just chat with her a few words, or the two of them against the game a bit, so that Zhang Zong feel that the three emperors have changed greatly in nature.
Apparently the Emperor had also noticed the difference in Jun Qianhao’s coming, the Emperor’s complexion was not so good these past few days.
“Smokey ah, what on earth is going on here,” Zhang Zong looked at Mu Zi Yan in puzzlement.
“His change is not favorable to me.” Mu Zi Yan held the white disc in her hand, the glistening pieces flipping around her slender fingertips before gently falling, her eyes flashing with a flash of ghostly light, “It seems that I need to make other plans as well.”
“What about him and Zhong side consort” Zhang Zong felt that Jun Qian Hao’s change had something to do with Mu Zi Yan, then it would be a fatal blow to Zhong Xuan.
“Zhong Xuan will definitely change Jun Qianhao if she finds out, and if she can’t change it, then she can only destroy it or find someone else.” Mu Zi Yan said indifferently.
“That is not the Prince” Zhang Zong eyes sank, then said, “This Zhong side consort in the end for what?”
“She,” Mu Zi Yan looked at Zhang Zong, “is scheming for more than just that Queen’s position, what the master behind her has promised her is not simple.”
“I am truly confused.” Zhang Zong looked at Mu Zi Yan, “It seems that this matter is becoming more and more difficult.”
“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded and responded, “But nowadays, on the contrary, we can’t mess up, it’s good to wait and see what happens.”
“Yes, in this turn of time, you are almost twelve.” Zhang Zong counted the days and said.
“Rather.” Mu Zi Yan thought about how since she was reborn, it had been almost two years so far, and in another three months, she would have passed the age of twelve, and the world seemed to have changed quite a bit with her rebirth.
“In another year, you will also reach maturity, by then you will be a county princess, but the Emperor will be watching your marriage since.” Zhang Zong looked at Mu Zi Yan and said.
“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded and responded, “Don’t worry, it’s not like there’s still a year left.”
“Smokey, that Aunt Zhu will be in labor in a few days, right?” asked Niangzi Lu as she walked up.
“En.” Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to look at Niangzi Lu, and lowered her eyes to survey her small abdomen, “I wonder when Sister Lu will deliver the good news”
“That,” Niangzi Lu said with a light smile, “is not up to me alone.”
Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to Zhang Zong and smiled without saying anything.
Zhang Zong then got up, “I lost again.”
Mu Zi Yan was about to open her mouth when she saw Zhang Zong hurriedly get up and leave.
The corner of Mu Zi Yan’s mouth turned away, then she looked at Niangzi Lu, “Sister Lu, does this feel different after getting married”
“En.” Niangzi Lu nodded her head and responded, having spent a long time with Mu Zi Yan, she knew that her mind was even more mature than her own, so she did not shy away from this kind of thing.
Mu Zi Yan was silent for a moment, and then said, “Then you won’t go away”
“What do you think,” Niangzi Lu said with a light smile, “Since I have a tie, I won’t leave.”
“So your secret,” Muzhiyan asked with a smile.
“When the proper time comes, I will tell you.” Lady Lu raised her hand to hold her fingers, “Smokey, you also have unspeakable hidden secrets don’t you”
“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded and responded, “But my original intention was to make you all happy.”
“I know.” Niangzi Lu was glad that she had met Mu Zi Yan, otherwise she might never have taken this step.
Mu Zi Yan thought about the previous life of Lu Niangzi and Zhang Zong’s end, now see the two people tied the knot, living so happy, her heart since the comfort of joy.
“Second sister Lu.” At that moment, Su Qinru’s voice could be heard.
Mu Zi Yan turned her eyes to look at Su Qin Rou coming alone, she smiled and got up, “How come you came alone”
“Haven’t seen you for a long time, missed you.” Su Qin Rou walked forward, the three of them greeted each other, she held Mu Zi Yan’s hand, and then said, “Lu second sister, do you know that nowadays the capital city is rumored to be in the matter of you wanting to enter the third prince’s mansion.”
“Just hearsay.” Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly, “But who spread these rumors?”
“I sent people to check.” Su Qinrou looked at her, “It’s Zhong Side Consort.”
“Looks like she can’t help it.” Mu Zi Yan raised her eyebrows and said, “Zhong Xuan’s calculations are afraid to fall through again.”
“Second sister Lu, won’t you clarify this matter,” Su Qinru frowned, “If it were me, I would definitely not allow people to splash dirty water.”
Mu Zi Yan spoke indifferently, “What’s wrong with that, wait for some days, the rumors will break themselves.”
“That’s true.” Su Qinruo nodded and responded, “It will be your birthday in three months.”
“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded and responded, “I’m afraid it can’t be as lively as last year.”
“Then what does Second Sister Lu intend to do,” Su Qinru asked with a smile.
“It’s best for everyone to gather together.” Mu Zi Yan only felt that in a few more years, she was afraid that there would be no such opportunity.
Su Qinruo nodded slightly, “By the way, Mingyue Academy is quite lively these days.”
“Tell me.” Mu Zi Yan saw Su Qin Rou say so, thinking that something interesting must have gone wrong here.
“Zhong side consort is a bit strange these days.” Su Qinrou attached her ear and said.
“Indeed,” Mu Zi Yan looked at her with raised eyebrows, it was indeed a bit unexpected.
“Exactly.” Su Qinruo continued, “Do you think she will”
“It seems that something is going to happen to Mingyue Academy.” Mu Zi Yan looked at Su Qin Rou, “Be careful, don’t fall into her trap.”
“I made a note of it.” Su Qinruo looked at her, “If she really did that, if Princess Yuehua knew”
“What you have seen is all on the surface, what she seeks is not here.” Mu Zi Yan said faintly, “What lies behind this must be a huge conspiracy.”
“She’s still this restless when she’s reached this point,” Su Qinruo’s eyes narrowed slightly as she said with dissatisfaction.
“She is not going to settle down.” Mu Zi Yan suddenly felt that Zhong Xuan didn’t seem to be her strongest opponent, and vaguely there was someone else behind this.
Seeing that she was in deep thought, Su Qinruo did not say any more, raised her eyes to look at Niangzi Lu, made some small talk, and left the Jingzhao Yin’s government office.
Mu Zi Yan was lost in thought when Jun Qian Hao had stood in front of her at some point, she then returned to her senses, seeing that he had already sat down, she raised an eyebrow and said, “Rather, he comes every day, Your Third Highness is quite free.”
“But it was just taking a break.” Jun Qianhao said as he looked at Mu Zi Yan.
“En, playing chess or chatting” Mu Zi Yan asked calmly.
“Is it hard to believe that I still have to give you some favors,” Jun Qianhao asked rhetorically.
“If Third Highness says so, I would have to do some math.” Mu Zi Yan continued.
“Then you can count well, do not lose.” Jun Qianhao looks very happy, daily seems to be used to come to her place to sit, no matter what to do, this heart one day of panic will not cure itself.
Mu Zi Yan is aware of Jun Qian Hao’s transformation, but in Mu Zi Yan’s heart, no matter what Jun Qian Hao has become, he will never be able to enter her heart, and he can only be a waste of effort.
She was silent for a moment, as if she had thought of something, and then said, “I’ll give the list to Third Highness when I’ve done the math.”
“Good.” Jun Qianhao answered with a smile before taking out a brocade box from his pocket and handing it to her.
Mu Zi Yan whispered, “What does Third Highness mean by this”
“I knew that you would definitely not accept it.” Jun Qianhao opened it himself, and then said, “Take a look.”
Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to look at it and said with a low smile, “This kind of rare thing has been found by Third Highness.”
“Since you’re not willing to take it, I’ll leave it here for you to see.” Jun Qianhao said in a rare jest.
Mu Zi Yan raised her hand and brought the object over, carefully glancing at it before saying, “This object is an excellent product, so Third Highness, feel free to make an offer.”
“It seems that you really like it.” Jun Qianhao blossomed into a bright smile, at this time Jun Qianhao had shed his original disguise and was handsome with a rare splendor.
Mu Zi Yan looked at such Jun Qian Hao, her eyes slightly converged, then she put the box down, and then took a letter and handed it to him, “Sort of a quid pro quo.”
Jun Qianhao raised his hand to receive it, and after reading it, his eyes flashed with a flash of ghostly light, “Some of it is worth its weight in gold.”
Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly and said, “Fair trade, as it should be.”
Jun Qianhao smiled and accepted it, then got up, “Looks like I’ll have to put in more effort.”
“Just this once.” Mu Zi Yan put away the box and said in a low voice, “I won’t accept whatever in the future.”
“Haha.” Jun Qianhao hadn’t expected Mu Ziyan to be so decisive, so he laughed cheerfully and then left the Beijing Zhaoyin’s government office.
Lady Lu came forward and looked at the contents of the box, “This is”
“This one is a treasure.” Mu Zi Yan continued, “Jun Qian Hao does know a lot about me.”
“He knows that you are looking for this,” Nyx Lu then said as she sat down.
“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded and answered.
“Smokey ah, this Third Prince is really coming from a bad place.” Lady Lu sighed and said.
“I know.” Mu Zi Yan put that box away, then got up and went back to the house.
In the Third Prince’s Mansion, Zhong Xuan listened to his men’s report with a grim expression and said in a cold voice, “He even gave the Poison Avoidance Pearl to Lu Erniang so easily”
“Exactly.” The subordinate hung his head and said, “My subordinate thought that Third Highness was giving that treasure to you after finding it, but I didn’t realize that it was given to Lu Erniang.”
“Haha.” Zhong Xuan raised her voice and laughed coldly, “Jun Qianhao, are you really in love?”
“Master, that Lu Erniang staying is a scourge.” The henchman whispered.
“Now is not the time to clean her up, Mingyue Academy can be all arranged,” Zhong Xuan said in a deep voice.
“Don’t worry master, it’s all been arranged.” The men hung their heads and answered.
“Good.” Middle Choice’s eyes narrowed, “I’ll do it myself when this matter is dealt with.”
“Yes.” The henchman answered and then dashed away.
Mu Hou House, Zhu Yue lying on the bed and couch, the body is too heavy, not easy to walk around, this time, she can only lie down, these days is more than a little difficult.
Ruqin carefully waited by the side and whispered, “Madam, you will be in labor in a few days, so bear with it a little longer.”
“En.” Zhu Yue nodded and responded, “Where is the master?”
“Master will be back soon after his duty is over.” Ruqin hung her head and returned.
“That’s good.” Zhu Yue more or less to Mu Qing Lin still stored dependence, this time can count on is him, now as long as she can save her and the child, the future will be good, so these days she is more and more careful, do not dare to have the slightest error.
Mu Qinglin hurriedly entered the Orchid Garden, saw Zhu Yue lying on the bed and couch did not dare to move, very hard, he hurriedly went forward and whispered, “can be better.”
“It’s rather a bit hard.” Zhu Yue said as he turned his eyes to look at Mu Qing Lin.
Mu Jinglin for Zhu Yue is rare on the heart, especially this child in her abdomen, has placed too much of his emotions, can be regarded as he watched this child so far, looking forward to his safe birth.
Only because of this, if Mu Qinglin knew that this child was not his flesh and blood, he might do something crazy.
And Zhu Yue since she was worried that it will be so, she will make up her mind, wait until the child is born, she will take the child and that person far away, but also be considered to give themselves to the child a way out.
And at this very moment, Mu Qinglin, in complete ignorance, is caring and considerate to Zhu Yue, and is full of expectations for this child.
Inside the Long Pine Courtyard, the old madam was also waiting patiently, she had waited too long for this time, straight until the moment this child was born, she would let Zhu Yue completely disappear in front of her.
From Sister carefully stood aside, “Don’t worry, Old Lady, this matter has already been arranged by the old slave.”
“Good.” The corners of the old madam’s mouth curled into a smug smile.
Mu Zi Yan’s place, hidden a sudden fall, since the report of the old madam in Zhu Aunt’s place to move the foot, the corner of her mouth hooked up a touch of evil smile, “Ideas to make Zhu Yue mother and child peace.”
“Yes.” Hidden One answered in a low voice, and then he flashed away.
So after two more days, that night, Zhu Yue felt unbearable pain, Mu Qinglin rushed to call the steady woman over, Lanxin Yuan since a burst of hands and feet.
The old madam rushed over, seeing Mu Qinglin anxiously pacing back and forth outside the house, her eyes flashed a touch of coldness, but she went up with a worried face, “How is it”
“The stabilizer just went in.” Mu Qinglin looked at the old lady with a worried expression.
Mu Zi Jing since the news, specially rushed to, to see Mu Qing Lin that anxious look, she secretly thought, when her mother was in labor, father had not been so nervous.
Sure enough, Mother counts for nothing in Father’s heart.
Her hands gripped the pad, her ears came Zhu Yue’s shouts, this heart but feel very painful, scream, scream, scream the louder the better, the better to die in the head better.
The old madam didn’t say a word, she was waiting for the good news to come from the inside, and then she saw the stabilizer rushing out with her hands full of blood, “It’s no good, Aunt Zhu had a hard time giving birth, now she can only keep one, keep the big one or the small one.”
“What,” Mu Keng Lin looked at the stabilizer, “I want Yue’er, and I want the child too.”
“Third Master, only one can be preserved today.” The stabilizer looked at Mu Qing Lin with a difficult expression on her face and said in a low voice, “It’s too late now, or else, neither one can be preserved.”
“Bao Xiao.” The old lady murmured from the sidelines.
“No, it won’t work.” Mu Qing Lin was torn, he knew that it would be difficult for him to have an heir in the future, now if he lost this child, he would never have another child again, however, if he were to lose Zhu Yue, he would not be willing to do so.
“Lin’er ah, hurry up and decide whether to protect the big one or the little one.” Seeing Mu Qing Lin hesitate, the old madam rushed forward and asked anxiously, those eyes flashing with a smug ghostly light.
