Chapter 175 – Zhong Xuan’s Belly (Second Shift) (2 / 2)

“You’re trying to deal with Zhong Xuan,” Mu Zi Yan asked bluntly after taking her seat.

“Yes and no.” Jun Qianhao spoke faintly.

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyebrows and continued, “It’s just that if you let me come, those people may not fall for the plan.”

“That depends on how you cooperate.” Jun Qianhao said as he looked at Mu Zi Yan.

“Why should I cooperate with you” Mu Zi Yan raised her eyebrows.

“Do you remember that you owe me a condition,” Jun Qianhao said with a smile.

Mu Zi Yan nodded her head and responded, “Since I have to return it.”

“This matter is favorable to you but not harmful.” Jun Qian Hao looked at her and said, “How can I not understand my father’s mind, he wants to use my power to hold back the Crown Prince, I am not the candidate for the Crown Prince in my father’s heart.”

“Jun Qian Hao, you know everything, so you know that you doing so is what the Emperor would be most happy to see.” After Mu Zi Yan said that, she paused slightly, “I finally understand.”

“It’s good that you understand.” Jun Qianhao lowered his eyes and smiled lightly.

“Confuse each other, but also let the emperor to you assured a lot.” Mu Zi Yan had to admit that Jun Qian Hao for the emperor’s understanding of the deeper, he knows that he is now the power than the crown prince slightly more than a chip, and how the emperor may not know will certainly think of ways to weaken his power, rather than letting the emperor do it, rather than his own hands, not only can save strength, but also let the emperor put down the guard.

Mu Zi Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly, so it seemed that the Jun Qian Hao of his previous life did not just rely on Zhong Xuan to ascend to the imperial throne, so what kind of relationship did he have with Zhong Xuan in his previous life?

She was also a little confused at the moment, only feeling that things were getting more and more complicated, but in turn, it allowed her to see clearly what Jun Qianhao was capable of.

Mu Zi Yan’s eyes flashed with a flash of ghostly light, but there was an additional layer of doubt, why did he expose his skills to her? Wasn’t he worried that she would completely fight back then?

Jun Qianhao laughed lowly, “At your young age, you have more concerns than I do.”

Mu Zi Yan retrieved her thoughts and smiled faintly, “If not, I would have died a hundred times already.”

Jun Qianhao nodded slightly, “That’s true.”

Mu Zi Yan continued, “In that case, then I will rest properly within the attic for a few days.”

“I can’t wait.” Jun Qianhao smiled brightly and then got up, “Do you still remember that the last time you played against me you had not yet been able to tell the winner from the loser.”

“Then continue,” Mu Zi Yan also did not wriggle, the two of them will sit with the window side of the square couch game up.

The window is open, although the people outside can not come in, but also can be inside the two people really see.

When Zhong Xuan learned that Lu Erniang had been invited into the Third Prince’s Residence and was resting in the South Pavilion, her eyes flashed coldly, “Jun Qianhao even took her to the South Pavilion”

“Master, what exactly is this Third Highness going to do,” his hand revealed his doubts.

“What does he want to do” Zhong Xuan snorted coldly, “It’s not obvious”

“But is this really going to work” the man spoke cautiously, feeling that this was just a move that would cause offense.

Mu Zi Yan hooked her lips in a light smile, “Wait and see what happens.”

“Yes.” The henchmen answered with their heads hanging down, and then they retreated.

Zhong Xuan slowly sat down, holding her forehead with one hand, her eyes overflowing with cold light, “Jun Qianhao, it seems like you want to get rid of me completely.”

Cui Yunshi these days has been subjected to cold feet, although I know that Zhong Xuan that place can not be good, but learned that Lu Erniang in the South Pavilion, is now playing chess with the Third Highness, this heart is really not a taste.

However, she has never been in the South Pavilion in the years she has been in the government, but this Lu Erniang, who is just a commoner, was able to go in Thinking about this, she was jealous, and she was jealous of Lu Erniang.

The sky is getting dark, the attendants have already turned on the lights, the hall is brightly lit, Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to look at him, and then dropped a piece, “Draw.”

“When will peace be broken between you and I” Jun Qian Hao sighed helplessly, then put down his black discs before getting up from the square couch.

Mu Zi Yan also got off the square couch and walked back and forth in the hall since, turning her eyes to look at the brightly lit palace in the distance, turning her eyes to look at Jun Qian Hao again, “Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.”

“You are not afraid of your own reputation.” Jun Qian Hao stood with his arms folded, thinking about how important a woman’s reputation was, and how she had not been annoyed by it, but instead had been so open about it.

Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly and said, “This thing called fame is a matter of opinion.”

“Smokey, I am impressed with you.” Jun Qianhao raised a pleasant smile and said in a low voice, “Do you know how many people in this world are burdened by this reputation?”

“To me, living is more important than fame.” Mu Zi Yan said indifferently, raising her eyes to look into the distance, it was not easy for her to live again, how could she easily give up her life because of this reputation

Jun Qianhao laughed lowly, “This kind of realm, I don’t have it.”

“It’s getting late, I’m tired.” Mu Zi Yan said and turned around and went up to the second floor.

Jun Qianhao remained standing at a distance, watching her go up the stairs before turning around and heading back into the inner room.

“Your Highness, there has been movement within the mansion.” A dark shadow fell and reported in a low voice.

“En.” Jun Qianhao replied indifferently, “Just keep an eye on it.”

“Yes.” The black shadow hung his head and replied, immediately flying away.

Mu Zi Yan went back to the guest room, after a simple wash, then rest, and no sleep, Jun Qian Hao this is a two birds with one stone, he thought she will be concerned about the reputation, and finally forced to marry him, but he did not know, even if she is notorious, she will not be aggrieved by the half point.

On the following day, Jun Qianhao entered the palace early in the morning to attend court, and Mu Ziyan, who was used to waking up early, went out of the pavilion and sat idly in the courtyard.

Not long after, they saw someone coming, after seeing clearly, Mu Zi Yan faintly raised her eyebrows, did not get up to greet them, but sat with a calm demeanor, half squinting her eyes and leaning back on the toffee chair.

Cui Yunshi saw Lu Erniang ignored her, the jealousy in her heart was uncontrollable, and she was about to step forward, wanting to humiliate Lu Erniang a bit, but this forefoot had not yet lifted, and was blocked by the guards outside of the South Pavilion.

“Cui side consort, you cannot enter.” The guards arrived in a cold voice.

Cui Yunshi took a step backward and stood slightly still, looking coldly at Mu Zi Yan, who was lying comfortably at the head of the courtyard, her eyes flashed with a flash of ghostly light, she turned around and led the palace maids to leave.

Mu Zi Yan waited for Cui Yun Shi to leave, the corner of her mouth hooked into a cold smile, then she closed her eyes again and continued to meditate.

After a while, a loud noise was heard, and she slowly opened her eyes to see Zhong Xuan standing outside.

“Can Second Miss Lu come forward to speak,” Zhong Xuan spoke in a low voice with a soft smile curling at the corner of her delicate face.

Mu Zi Yan turned her eyes to look at Zhong Xuan, the corner of her mouth hooked up in an evil smile as she got up from her toffee chair and stood in place for a long time.

Zhong Xuan saw her raise her step thinking that she was going to come over, but in the next instant, Mu Zi Yan suddenly turned around and went back inside the Southern Pavilion.

She darkened her face right then and there, looking straight at Lu Erniang’s departing back, her eyes flashed with a murderous intent as she turned to leave.

When Mu Zi Yan returned to the hall, an attendant entered and quietly retired after setting out refreshments.

For the guards and attendants in the South Pavilion, all of them are specially tuned. The guards and attendants in the South Pavilion are specially trained to be respectful of Mu Zi Yan and do not dare to overstep their bounds.

Zhong Xuan went back to her own courtyard and let out a low growl, while the palace maids didn’t dare to go forward and stood outside since.

She hadn’t expected that this Lu Erniang wouldn’t even put her in her sights, and that Nan Gelou really thought that she could stop her

“Master, that Lu Erniang is also too arrogant.” The henchman fell and said indignantly.

“How did things go,” Zhong Xuan said in a deep voice.

“Don’t worry master, it’s already been arranged, as long as we wait for her to leave the mansion, we’ll do it immediately.” The subordinate whispered.

“Good.” Zhong Xuan said in a cold voice, “Is there any movement in the Northern Qing Kingdom?”

“Princess Qing Li has already crossed the border and will be able to enter the capital in January.” The subordinate returned truthfully.

“Good.” Zhong Xuan said in a cold voice, “Once Princess Qing Li enters the capital, have her come see me.”

“Master, Princess Qing Li is now quite respected by the Lord and seems intent on replacing you.” The henchman continued.

“Wanting to replace me, that also depends on whether she has the ability to do so.” Zhong Xuan only felt that ever since she met Mu Zi Yan, things had not gone well, her schemes had failed one after another, and now there was even a Princess Qing Li who wanted to replace her, hmmm, don’t even think about it.

“Subordinate will retire.” The subordinate saw Zhong Xuan’s gloomy face, clearly furious.

Zhong Xuan’s eyes flashed with an aura of solemnity, it seemed that she had to do something about it, this time and she couldn’t be too hasty and couldn’t afford to lose again, or else her plan could never succeed.

Zhong Xuan did not expect Jun Qian Hao to be out of control, what was even more unanticipated was that the man had sent another woman over, which had left her with an enemy on her back, and as she had suffered a great deal of vitality due to the fact that she had to eradicate Mu Zi Yan last time, she had to think of a way to bring Jun Qian Hao back into the fold, and eradicate the Princess Qing Li who had been sent along with her.

Jun Qianhao down the morning after the court, will go straight to the third prince’s residence, to be back to the South Pavilion, will see Mu Zi Yan is leaning on the soft couch to read, the demeanor cozy, apparently without any constraints, instead of the guest as the master.

He came forward with a raised eyebrow while sitting down, “You’re quite at home.”

“When you went to the capital zhao Yin government office is not so since you are not polite, why should I find myself uncomfortable,” Mu Zi Yan said lightly, to put down the scroll, carelessly sit up, “this day I am considered to be completely offended by the two side consorts.”

Jun Qianhao laughed lowly, “You’ve offended fewer people.”

“It seems like quite a lot.” Mu Zi Yan pondered for a moment before looking at him, “You plan to keep me for a few days”

“Three days.” Jun Qianhao said with a calm face since he had calculated the timing.

“Okay, just three days.” Mu Zi Yan looked at him and said.

Jun Qianhao continued, “Continue.”

“Continue.” Mu Zi Yan said, and the two of them started playing the game again.

This three prince house in Mu Zi Yan into the house, extremely unsettled, and hidden and dark eyes since some can not stand it, that night, the prince consort courtyard head will happen things.

Before Mu Zi Yan and Jun Qian Hao could distinguish between them, they saw the attendant enter, “Your Highness, the Third Prince Consort is injured.”

“Oh,” Jun Qianhao put down the black pieces in his hand and looked at Mu Zi Yan, “Do it.”

“Why are you making a move on the Third Imperial Concubine” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly, her heart in doubt.

“If the Third Imperial Concubine dies, I will be able to ask for a decree to bestow the marriage.” Jun Qianhao, however, said in an unsavory manner.

“It seems that it is to be a thief framing ah.” Mu Zi Yan had thought of this since, but she just hadn’t expected that someone would really be so stupid as to think of such a method in order to get rid of her.

Jun Qianhao sighed, “It seems that you still have a lot of influence over the black hand behind this.”

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyebrows, “It’s a pity that the Third Prince’s residence is all yours.”

“What should you do with a lackey who turns his back on his master,” Jun Qian Hao asked as he looked at Mu Zi Yan.

“Rip out the heart and feed it to the dogs.” Mu Zi Yan said bluntly.

“As you wish.” Jun Qianhao responded with a smile.

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyebrows, “I’m afraid that if you do it, it will be even more ruthless.”

“Will.” Jun Qianhao stared straight ahead, “But even so, it can’t stop those invisible temptations from raising their hearts to turn their backs on their masters.”

Mu Zi Yan visibly lurched, “Third Highness being able to think of this, on the contrary, surprises me.”

“It’s an honor to have you gain a new understanding of me.” Jun Qianhao responded with a smile.

Mu Zi Yan light light smile, she is on Jun Qian Hao has a renewed understanding, the more so, the more she feels Jun Qian Hao is an extremely difficult to deal with the opponent, the world in the end who can fight with him it Jun Qian Yu or Chu Ye

Even if she alone had great ability, there were some things she couldn’t do, therefore, she had to seek out the person who was complicit was, otherwise, it was simply impossible to bring down Jun Qianhao.

Jun Qianhao could see Mu Zi Yan’s thoughts as he whispered, “Could it be that you can only be my enemy”

“Maybe.” Mu Zi Yan withdrew her mind and said faintly, “It is only when you meet your match in chess that you will not have wasted your life.”

“That’s true.” Jun Qianhao wasn’t afraid of not having an opponent, it was just that what he wanted more was for her to be by his side rather than becoming his enemy.

But a lot of things have already been predetermined, and she and his past life in the end what kind of involvement, Mu Zi Yan since I do not know.

The two of them entered the courtyard of the third prince consort together, outside kneeling on the floor of the palace maidservant, there are several dead bodies, Mu Zi Yan lowered her eyes and carefully checked, then followed Jun Qian Hao into the house together.

The eunuch is diagnosing the pulse, after coming out, he respectfully saluted, “Third Highness, the third prince consort’s chest was hit by a sword, good thing it didn’t hurt the heart vein, and now it’s already been bandaged with medication, just need to take good care of it.”

“En.” Jun Qianhao nodded slightly.

The eunuch bowed and retreated.

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to look at Jun Qian Hao and saw him lift his steps forward, while she did not follow him forward and turned around to go out of the house.

Jun Qian Hao obviously footsteps a beat, turned his eyes to look at her departing back, the corner of his mouth hooked up a faint smile, turned around and put away the smile, after entering the bedchamber, walked to the side of the bed couch, slowly sat down and looked at the third prince consort lying on the bed couch with a bleak complexion, “Don’t worry, the palace will definitely find out the murderer.”

“Your Highness, Concubine,” Third Imperial Consort looked at Jun Qianhao, wanting to speak.

Jun Qianhao gently patted the back of her hand, “Recuperate well.”

“En.” The Third Imperial Consort nodded in response.

Jun Qianhao got up and left the bedchamber after exhorting a few words, and the Third Prince Consort watched his back as he left, his eyes overflowing with bitterness.

Mu Zi Yan stood within the courtyard inspecting the corpse and turned her eyes to look at him, “Not a dead soldier, as for the body, it’s fine.”

“Can you guess who did this” Jun Qian Hao asked as he stepped forward and looked at her.

“It’s just an ordinary assassin, it seems that the person behind this is doing this deliberately.” Mu Zi Yan half squatted and stared at the wound, “But the person who killed them is an expert.”

Jun Qianhao raised his eyes and looked at the guards in front of him, “Who killed these people?”

“Back to Your Highness, it’s the subordinates.” The four guards in front of them knelt down and responded.

Mu Zi Yan stepped forward and took the saber at their waist, and when he pulled it out and looked at it, he then said, “It’s not right.”

Jun Qianhao looked at her before looking at the four guards kneeling on the ground, “Dare to misrepresent yourself in front of this palace.”

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to look at him, “They weren’t misrepresenting themselves, it’s just that someone dared to make a move before they ambushed them.”

“Who,” Jun Qianhao asked as he looked at Mu Zi Yan.

“That would depend on the assassins that had approached besides the four of them at that time.” Mu Zi Yan said in a low voice.

“Who else was there at that time” Jun Qianhao looked at the four guards in front of him and said in a deep voice.

The four people looked at each other in dismay, and at this moment, they were thinking carefully, while Mu Zi Yan observed the color of the palace maids kneeling on the ground, as well as the other guards guarding the outside.

When Jun Qianhao saw these four kneeling on the ground and half-answering, his eyes flashed coldly, “Drag them out.”

“Your Highness spare your life,” the four guards begged for mercy.

Jun Qianhao, however, was unmoved and said in a deep voice, “Still not dragged out.”

Mu Zi Yan, however, waved her hand at this moment and said, “And slow down.”

“En” Jun Qian Hao turned his eyes to look at Mu Zi Yan and said in a low voice, “Do you want to plead for them?”

“Why would I ask for favors” Mu Zi Yan blinked her eyes, “What do they have to do with me”

“Then what are you,” Jun Qian Hao raised his eyebrows, seeing Mu Zi Yan making a wink at him, he understood at once, and then coldly snorted, “Since it’s not a plea for mercy, then drag it down.”
