Chapter 174: The Red Apricot (2 / 2)

“Mother.” Mu Qinglin looked at her incredulously, how could he let this bitch go so easily

“Let them go.” The old lady said in a deep voice.

“Mother, son can’t do it.” Mu Qinglin waved his hand, and the assassins behind him had already rushed over.

The dark shadow’s deep eyes flashed a darkness and had turned away.

Mu Qing Lin wanted to catch up to him, but he was stopped, and waited until the black shadow disappeared without a trace, and all the killers beside Mu Qing Lin died beside him.

The old lady stepped forward and looked at him, “This is the woman you have your eye on.”

“Mother.” Mu Qinglin then knelt down, “It was my son who was blind and shouldn’t have trusted that bitch.”

“Well, now you should know who treats you well in this world.” The old madam said in a cold voice and lifted her steps to leave Orchid Garden.

Mu Qinglin stood in the courtyard, looking at the corpses on the side, and the house in the distance, his fists clenched, secretly swearing that he would break that pair of dogs into pieces.

Zhu Yue was led out of the capital by the black shadow, and when she landed in a house, her feet went soft and she raised her eyes to look at him, “Where are we going”

“Northern Green Country.” The dark shadow said in a deep voice.

“The Northern Green Kingdom,” Zhu Yue looked at him in surprise.

“Go?” the dark shadow said coldly.

“Who the hell are you” Zhu Yue felt that this person was by no means simple, just why did he do that to her that day

“If you don’t want to go, I will send you back.” With a flick of his wrist, the black shadow pushed Zhu Yue away, and then he carried the child from her arms and turned around to leave.

Zhu Yue saw the situation, where there is still a refusal now she has no choice.

“I’ll go.” Zhu Yue said, looking at him.

“Good.” The dark shadow answered, suddenly yanking Zhu Yue into his arms, lowering his head and sealing her lips, nibbling hard.

Zhu Yue couldn’t help but shiver all over, his hands unconsciously wrapped around his waist while he was still holding a baby in his arms.

Mu Zi Yan had just returned from the Divine Healer Sect when she heard the news, the corner of her mouth hooked up in a cold smile, “I guess nowadays, Third Uncle has already been driven mad with anger”

“Master, will the Third Elder be ruthless about this” Hidden One asked worriedly.

“Old madam really knows.” Mu Zi Yan snorted coldly, “Ginger is still old and hot.”

“Master, what you mean is that the old madam knew about Aunt Zhu’s affair with that man in black from early on, and that what she did before was just a façade” Hidden One’s eyes flashed with a flash of surprise as she asked in a low voice.

“Not bad.” Mu Zi Yan nodded slightly, “Otherwise, I wouldn’t have brought Third Uncle to catch the adulterer last night.”

“What about the man in black,” Hidden One asked carefully.

“Where did the man in black go,” Mu Zi Yan asked in a cold voice.

“Back to my master, my subordinate is secretly keeping an eye on them, they went out of the capital and are heading in the direction of the Northern Green Country.” Hidden One whispered back.

“Interesting interesting.” Mu Zi Yan hooked her lips in a cold smile, “Aunt Zhu will surely be even more lively this time when she goes to the Northern Qing Kingdom.”

“Master, the identity of this man in black is too mysterious, my subordinate has yet to find out.” Hidden One hung his head and returned.

“There is no rush to check his identity today, as long as the Liang King is still alive, then he will definitely appear.” Mu Zi Yan said indifferently, “What is the movement of the Northern Qing Kingdom today”

“The emperor is aging, all the princes since they are also inevitably fighting, only the great prince stay out of it.” Hidden one said in a low voice, “after the sixth princess traveled to the northern green country, she has been staying in the grand prince’s residence, seldom showing up, subordinate’s ability is limited, now the eyes planted within the northern green country are still too shallow, simply can’t probe what.”

“I know.” Mu Zi Yan faintly whispered, “In that case, wait.”

“Yes.” Hidden One led the order, and then he dashed away.

Yunxiang and Bi Yun exchanged a glance, “Eldest Miss, this Third Elder Master has been thoroughly utilized by the Old Madame.”

“Old Madame is doing this because she wants Third Uncle to completely die to her.” Mu Zi Yan said in a cold voice, “Otherwise, that part of the Void will definitely make a move against Uncle San.”

“Eldest Miss, Yun Ying Temple is very calm, there is nothing unusual.” Rue Xiang whispered back.

“En.” Mu Zi Yan faintly responded, “It’s just a surface calm.”

“Eldest Miss, are you going to stay at the Imperial Tomb for a few more days this time,” Bi Yun asked with a smile.

“No, I still need to rush back to the capital as soon as possible, something big will happen within the capital in the next few days.” Mu Zi Yan only felt that since the old madam had completely put Third Uncle away, she was afraid that she would also make a move.

And after Zhong Xuan’s several losses, she would surely build up her strength, thinking that now that they were all pressing on, and even more so, she could not afford to take it lightly.

When Mu Ziyan returned to the capital, Niangzi Lu was waiting for her.

“Is something really wrong,” Mu Zi Yan asked worriedly when she saw Niangzi Lu’s gloomy face.

“En.” Lady Lu sighed, “Something happened in the palace.”

“In the palace,” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes flashed with a flash of ghostly light, she did not hear any news from the palace, and thought that it happened in the two hours that she rushed to the capital.

“Just now, news came from the palace that Consort Yun is seriously ill.” Niangzi Lu looked at Mu Zi Yan and said.

“Yun Fei is seriously ill” Mu Zi Yan this time froze, this time Yun Fei is seriously ill, that would indicate that the blue Xiner that place is afraid of also out of the question.

Her eyes flashed with a cold light, “It seems like something big is really going to happen.”

“If Concubine Yun goes,” Niangzi Lu looked at Mu Zi Yan and said in a low voice, “what should the twelfth prince do?”

“What can be done,” Mu Zi Yan sighed, “Without mother consort’s dependence, one can only survive in the cracks.”

“This twelfth prince is also too pitiful.” Niangzi Lu looked at Mu Zi Yan and continued, “Yan’er ah, how do you think Concubine Yun suddenly became seriously ill?”

Mu Zi Yan then turned around and went back to the house, Hidden One since he was always protecting her in the dark, so he had already fallen at this moment.

“Master, Young Granny Cui has gone off the deep end due to practicing kung fu, thus she is unconscious now.” Hidden One said with downcast eyes.

“It seems that it is really because of Lan Xin’er.” Mu Zi Yan’s face sank slightly, “How is Cui Shizi”

“Cui Shizi’s color is not good these days, his spirit is not good, but he can’t find out the cause, now even Cui young granny is sick, Cui Houfu is in chaos since now.” Hidden One continued, “However, the Cui Marquis House has never suspected that this matter is related to Young Granny Cui.”

“What about the Blue Family,” Mu Zi Yan continued to ask.

“The Blue Marquis’ wife has visited, and now we can only wait.” Hidden One continued.

“Wait.” Mu Zi Yan coldly laughed, “It’s about time for Lan Xin Er to go off the deep end.”

“What does the master mean,” Yin Yi asked in a low voice as he looked toward Mu Zi Yan.

“Wait a little longer.” Mu Zi Yan only felt that this matter was afraid of a hidden mystery.

When Niangzi Lu saw Mu Zi Yan staying inside the house for a long time without coming out, she was about to go in when she saw Jun Qian Hao hurrying in, and she saluted herself respectfully.

Jun Qianhao nodded slightly and immediately entered Mu Zi Yan’s house with familiarity.

“Are you going to enter the palace,” Jun Qianhao asked as he looked at her.

“Now,” Mu Zi Yan was thinking of this, but was thinking of how to get into the palace, and saw Jun Qian Hao come, and was right in her thoughts, she was obviously stunned, but the most urgent thing was not to worry about this matter, so she asked in a low voice.

“En.” Jun Qianhao then took out a bundle from behind himself, “Change this into it.”

“Good.” Mu Zi Yan raised her hand to take it, and when she saw that the inside was a palace maid’s palace dress, she understood Jun Qian Hao’s meaning and did not delay, and when she had changed, she left with Jun Qian Hao.

When he went out of the Beijing Zhaoyin government office, Mu Zi Yan hung her head and followed him, there was already a carriage waiting outside, Mu Zi Yan followed the carriage, Jun Qian Hao got on the carriage, and then went to the palace.

Niangzi Lu looked at Zhang Zong, “This is why this Third Prince came.”

“En.” Zhang Zong nodded and responded, “Let’s wait in peace.”

Mu Zi Yan along with the third prince’s carriage into the palace, and then followed behind him, Jun Qian Hao since the front to go to the cloud consort’s bedchamber, wait until after, Jun Qian Hao since standing in the palace, turned his eyes to look at the Mu Zi Yan, “You and on behalf of the palace into the visit.”

“Yes.” Mu Zi Yan respectfully answered and turned around, then entered the bedchamber.

Jun Qian Rui sat quietly beside the bed, when he saw someone come in, he raised his eyes to look at Mu Zi Yan, and immediately jumped down from the stool and rushed towards Mu Zi Yan with his little legs.

Mu Zi Yan hurriedly raised her hand to catch it, and then respectfully saluted, “Slave girl see twelfth highness.”

Jun Qian Rui, however, tightly tugged on her sleeve, dragging her up the line to the bed.

She looked at Consort Yun with her sideways eyes, and then sat aside to take her pulse, and after looking at it, her eyes sank slightly, her pulse was too weak, and the big deal was not good.

Jun Qian Rui always tugged at her and refused to let go, Mu Zi Yan held him back in her arms and whispered, “Twelfth Highness keep a good watch on the Empress, and the Empress will be able to wake up.”

“En.” Jun Qian Rui nodded obediently, and then he got down from Mu Zi Yan’s arms, and then quietly re-sat on the stool, his dark eyes staring obediently.

When Mu Zi Yan saw Jun Qian Rui like this, a flash of warmth flashed through her heart, and she couldn’t help but remember that Lin Er had once watched over her in the same way when she was seriously ill.

She suppressed the sadness in her heart, turned around and went out of the bedchamber, going up towards Jun Qianhao and saluting, “Back to Third Highness, Empress Yun is still in a deep sleep.”

“En, let’s go, don’t disturb Concubine Yun.” Jun Qianhao nodded slightly, then lifted his steps and left the palace.

Mu Zi Yan followed him, and when he was out of the palace, Jun Qian Hao did not return to the Jing Zhaoyin’s government office, but went back to the Third Prince’s residence.

“Third Highness,” Mu Zi Yan could not go back to the Third Prince’s residence with him, so she followed the carriage and reminded him.

“En,” Jun Qianhao, who was currently sitting in the carriage, replied in a low voice with downcast eyes and pursed lips.

“Should we first go to the Jingzhao Yin’s government office” Mu Zi Yan suppressed her heart’s irritation and asked in a low voice.

“Now that it’s getting late, it’s time to go back to the house.” Jun Qianhao raised his eyebrows and said indifferently.

Mu Zi Yan secretly gritted her teeth, now if she suddenly left, it would cause suspicion, but let her go forward to the third prince’s residence, she was unwilling to do so.

While she was thinking, suddenly someone came in front of her, Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes and saw the person coming, the corner of her mouth hooked up a faint smile, and the person’s four eyes, since she had an idea.

The carriage stopped since, the visitor rolled over and dismounted, went up to the carriage and saluted, “I see Your Third Highness.”

Jun Qianhao put down his teacup, lifted the curtain, and when he saw the Zhang Staffer standing beside Mu Zi Yan, his eyes flashed with a touch of coldness, and then he said in a deep voice, “Where is the Zhang Shizi hitting?”

“Back to Third Highness, I just finished my duty and happened to see Third Highness’s carriage, so I came to greet you.” Chapter Staffer said faintly with his eyes downcast.

“Since Zhang Shizi has been dismissed from his duty, he should return to his residence early.” When Jun Qianhao said that, he said in a deep voice, “Let’s go.”

The Chapter Staffer, however, responded at this moment, “Yes, respectfully, Your Third Highness.”

After the carriages left, the Staffer’s side but still stood a courtesan, the Staffer turned to look at her, since the body of the cloak off, draped over her body.

This street is already quiet, and now that it’s not early in the day, there aren’t too many people passing by, so Mu Zi Yan stepped back and hid in the shadows.

Staffer is in front, the outside look is only to see the back of the Staffer, since he can not see the Mu Zi Yan blocked by him.

“Cousin Zhang.” Mu Zi Yan looked at Chapter Staffer and smiled as she opened her mouth.

“I heard that you went to the palace with the Third Prince, so I was uneasy and came over to take a look.” Commenting with a light smile, the chapter said, “It’s not advisable to stay here for long, let’s talk about it back at the government office.”

“Good.” Mu Zi Yan was draped in the cape of the Staffer, which covered the palace clothes on her, and then the two of them took a horse each to return to the Beijing Zhaoyin’s government office.

When the carriage stopped, Jun Qianhao got off the carriage and turned his eyes to see where there was still Mu Zi Yan’s figure, his eyes flashed a cold light and he turned around to look at the palace maid, “Where are the people?”

“The slave girl doesn’t know.” That palace servant knelt on the ground, and now that it was so dark, it was hard to find anything wrong.

“Waste.” Jun Qianhao’s eyes overflowed with cold light, “Drag them down.”

“Yes.” The guards behind him answered and immediately dragged that palace maid down.

Jun Qianhao entered the Third Prince’s Mansion with a gloomy face and returned to the Southern Pavilion since.

Mu Zi Yan went back to the government office of Beijing Zhaoyin, took off the palace dress she was wearing, and changed into the comfortable dress of the plain day, then she went out of the house, and when she entered the hall, she saw that Zhang Zong was chatting with Staffer.

“How is it,” Zhang Zong asked in a low voice when he saw Mu Zi Yan return.

“The situation is not good.” Mu Zi Yan shook her head.

“Now at this time, Consort Yun is seriously ill, and I’m afraid that there will be waves in this harem again.” Zhang Zong sighed and said.

Staffer looked at her, “Princess Yun’s illness has something to do with Xin’er Lan.”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded her head and responded, “Marquis Cui is afraid that the Marquis Cui Mansion is also not at peace today.”

“That place is nothing.” Commenting on the report, he continued, “Why did the Third Prince bring you to the palace?”

“I was thinking of entering the palace, but I didn’t realize that he happened to be here.” Mu Zi Yan looked at Staffer Zhang, “Fortunately, Cousin Zhang was waiting for me there, otherwise, I’m afraid that I would have entered the Third Prince’s residence by now.”

“The Third Prince has been too attentive to you lately, Cousin Zi Yan should be more careful.” The Chapter Staffer’s brows were slightly furrowed, obviously quite worried about this matter.

Mu Zi Yan nodded slightly, “Where is the Emperor”

“When you entered the palace just now, His Majesty was at the Palace of Diligence, so I think he has already rushed there now.” Chapter Staffer whispered, “But these past few days have indeed been uneventful.”

“Could it be that something big has happened,” Mu Zi Yan thought to herself that her news was also quite good, could it be that there are still missing

“It seems that you don’t know.” The chapter reporter continued, “The Sixth Princess was married off to the Northern Green Country, and the Northern Green Country has now sent a princess, who is now on her way here.”

“Then this princess is dedicated to the emperor” Mu Zi Yan was silent for a moment, she did lag behind quite a bit with regards to the news of the Northern Qing Kingdom.

“Perhaps, but it is also possible that it will be given to a prince.” The reporter looked at Mu Ziyan, “If it is given to a prince, who does Cousin Ziyan think it will be given to?”

“This princess on behalf of the Northern Qing Dynasty, since it can not be neglected, even if there is no power, but it is also the existence of the power of the Northern Qing Dynasty, since it can not be given to the third prince and the crown prince.” Mu Zi Yan continued, “just now which prince is left”

“Since it can’t be given to the prince, then the emperor can only receive it himself.” Zhang Zong interjected.

“No, Concubine Yun is seriously ill, the harem is already unsettled today, if another princess comes in, the Emperor is still worried that he is being counted by this princess.” Mu Zi Yan said faintly.

“Not bad.” The chapter report nodded and responded, “Therefore, nowadays, we can only choose from the world’s sons who are similar in age.”

“A Shizi of similar age.” Mu Zi Yan looked at Zhang Staffer and said in a low voice, “That cousin and cousin Zhang are both possible.”

“Isn’t it possible that Mu Shi Zi Zi” said the chapter staffer looking at Mu Zi Yan.

“Brother and Sister Su already have a marriage contract, so I don’t think the Emperor will marry the princess to brother and share a husband,” Mu Zi Yan said in a low voice.

“The Emperor will definitely not allow the princess to marry into the State Duke’s House.” Zhang Zong raised his eyes to look at Zhang Staffer, “Then today’s candidate can only be Zhang Shizi.”

Mu Zi Yan responded approvingly, “It should be.”

“These are just guesses from you and me, and everything will have to wait until the Princess of the Northern Qing Kingdom enters the capital as well.” When the Chapter Staffer saw that Mu Zi Yan did not treat this matter with any displeasure, he secretly sighed and evoked an obscure smile.

Mu Zi at this time but thinking about this Northern Qing Dynasty Princess to come in the end what is the purpose is really purely for the sake of peace and marriage!

Staffer looked at her, “What is Cousin Ziyan thinking?”

“I’m thinking about this Northern Green Country’s princess.” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes flashed with a flash of ghostly light, only feeling that this Northern Qing Country’s princess was not coming from a good place.

The chapter whispered, “Now there’s nothing to do but wait.”

“Cousin Zhang go back to rest early.” Mu Zi Yan said as she raised her eyes to look at Chapter Staffer.

“Good.” Commenting on the report, he got up and left the office of the capital city.

Niangzi Lu came forward, “Do you think the Emperor is really going to grant the marriage?”

“Maybe.” Mu Zi Yan said faintly, “Counting the days, that Princess of the Northern Green Country’s entry into the capital is still a month away, now I’m worried about Concubine Yun instead.”

“Are you going to visit Marquis Cui’s residence,” Niangzi Lu inquired in a low voice.

“Marquis Cui is still not to get involved nowadays, I think that Young Granny Cui is not someone who dies easily, however, I would rather have her die a death on this.” Mu Zi Yan laughed coldly, raised her steps and went back to the house.

Niangzi Lu hooked her lips in a smile, “This girl, this time her heart is hardened.”

“This Young Grandmother Cui indeed cannot be retained, but this Concubine Yun,” Zhang Zong spoke quietly, “Without further ado, this matter is also none of my business.”

Lady Lu laughed lowly and said, “It’s not about you, but it’s about the big picture.”
