Chapter 177: It is Better to Break Jade than to Break Tiles (Second Shift) (1 / 2)
by Jessie@AFNCC“Twelfth Highness don’t worry, Lady Yun Fei will be able to return to the palace in a few more days since her phoenix body is well and healthy.” Mu Zi Yan said softly.
“En.” Jun Qian Rui nodded in response.
As expected, these days Jun Qianhao has not come to find her, Mu Zi Yan accompanied Jun Qianrui day is quite a bit of leisure.
This cozy day didn’t last more than a few days before Jun Qianhao sought it out again.
Her eyes flashed with a ghostly light as she looked up at him, “Why again”
“Something is wrong.” Jun Qianhao said and handed her a portrait.
Mu Zi Yan lowered her eyes to look at it and raised her eyebrows, “This is Princess Qing Li”
“En.” Jun Qianhao nodded his head and responded, “Can Smokey feel that this person isn’t somewhat familiar?”
“Not ever.” Mu Zi Yan shook her head.
Jun Qianhao laughed lowly and said, “This is the goddaughter of the Sister before Second Lady Mu.”
“Oh,” Mu Zi Yan raised an eyebrow, “Isn’t he dead? That case is still broken by me.”
“Really dead,” Jun Qianhao’s eyes narrowed slightly, obviously not believing, “Since Smokey said so, I’ll just assume she’s dead.”
“But Princess Qing Li entered the capital, the emperor will set up a banquet since, you do not go back” Mu Zi Yan asked with a smile.
“Go back.” Jun Qianhao counted the days, “Just in time for January.”
“Looks like Third Highness has it all figured out.” Mu Zi Yan hooked her lips in a light smile.
“Smokey has since entered the palace to take a look.” Jun Qian Hao said as he looked at Mu Zi Yan.
“I am a commoner, what qualifications do I have to enter the palace,” Mu Zi Yan said with a raised eyebrow, “That Princess Qing Li has nothing to do with me, I don’t have to see it.”
“Alright.” Jun Qian Hao saw her say so and had an idea in his heart, then he got up, glanced at Jun Qian Rui who was taking a nap within his chambers, lifted his steps and left the palace.
Yunxiang came forward, “Eldest Miss, this Third Prince is really strange.”
“What’s so strange,” Mu Zi Yan asked with a smile.
“I think he has already found out the details of this Princess Qing Li, yet he wants to hold the portrait to test you.” Yun Xiang said with downcast eyes, obviously quite dissatisfied with Jun Qian Hao’s move.
Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly and said, “His mind is already hard to gauge, doing so is considered a hint to me.”
“Hint,” Yun Xiang looked at Mu Zi Yan in confusion.
“Good.” Mu Zi Yan went on to say, “Since he can find out Princess Qing Li’s details, is the emperor not to find out, more even the crown prince that place also know, as for this Princess Qing Li what exactly the purpose of the princess, after she entered the capital, will certainly be secretly monitored by the emperor, once found that there are any clues, will not be easy to let go of her.”
“Then the Third Prince is reminding Missy that no matter what Princess Qing Li does, she should beware” Yun Xiang understood the situation and looked at Mu Zi Yan and said.
“Not bad.” Mu Zi Yan faintly responded, “It seems like there’s going to be another reckoning here.”
“This matter can be related to Lady Yun Fei” Yun Xiang felt that at this time, Yun Fei sent the twelfth prince, there must be a connection here.
“It has something to do with Lan Xin’er, that’s why Concubine Yun was worried about the twelfth prince’s safety and sent him over.” Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to look at Yun Xiang, “You and let Hidden One secretly observe the movements in the palace and the court, until Princess Qing Li enters the capital.”
“Yes.” Rue Xiang answered in a low voice.
“Eldest Miss, are you returning to the Divine Healer Sect,” Bi Yun asked in a low voice as she looked at the hour.
“Go.” Muzzy Smoke said, looking at her.
“Then the Twelfth Highness,” Rue Xiang asked in a small voice.
“I’ll bring along to go forward.” Mu Zi Yan already had plans.
“What about the Third Prince’s place,” Rueyang continued.
“You just tell him truthfully that is, I went to the Divine Doctor Sect thing he knows, if the cover up, but will attract a lot of trouble, he now has a purpose close to me, will not be able to demolish me.” Mu Zi Yan said faintly.
“Yes.” Yunxiang answered in a low voice, since she understood the meaning of Mu Zi Yan’s words.
So they stayed for two more days, and after Mu Zi Yan had made some preparations, she took Jun Qian Rui to the Divine Healer Sect.
Along the way, Jun Qianrui performance are very quiet, but see something new and strange will also show childlike innocence, especially over the cliff, Mu Zi Yan with a white cloth will Jun Qianrui tied to their own bodies, and now her internal strength has become a small success, which is also refined a lot of lightweight, so with Jun Qianrui is just carrying a bag of cloth in general, since it is smooth over.
Waiting until the end of the cliff, Jun Qian Rui wide open eyes incredulously looked at Mu Zi Yan, his surprise took over the fear, after all, at this time, he realized that it will be very dangerous, but for Mu Zi Yan is to give a great deal of trust, straight to wait until after coming over, his face is also overflowing with joyful smiles.
Mu Zi Yan held him to walk a section, and then hold him to walk a section, the mountain road is rugged, but Jun Qian Rui from the beginning to the end did not call tired, which makes Mu Zi Yan heartbroken, only feel that this child, at a young age will know how to endure, grow up for fear that the future is unlimited.
Waiting for the Divine Doctor’s Gate was already evening, Mu Zi Yan carried Jun Qian Rui to his own courtyard, placed him on the soft couch inside the house, untied the cloak on his body, and beat the hot water to warm his hands to relieve his fatigue.
Jun Qian Rui, on the other hand, sat obediently, exhausted, and after Mu Zi Yan finished, she saw that he had already leaned aside and fallen asleep.
Mu Zi Yan hooked her lips and smiled lightly, picking him up and placing him on the bed, covering him with the brocade quilt, before she left the house.
Doctor Jin had since learned that she had brought a milk doll back, his brows slightly knitted, “You girl, outsiders are not allowed to come and go as they please in and out of this Divine Doctor’s Gate.”
“Master, he’s just a child, it doesn’t matter.” Mu Zi Yan continued, “Being entrusted by someone, if the apprentice puts him inside the imperial tomb, there’s no guarantee that something won’t happen.”
“The next one will not be.” Dr. Jin said in a deep voice.
Mu Zi Yan respectfully responded, “Yes.”
“You should take a good rest and start early tomorrow morning.” Dr. Jin coldly said.
“Master, how exactly is Senior Uncle” Mu Zi Yan looked at Doctor Jin and asked.
“I don’t know.” Dr. Jin frowned even now, his eyes overflowing with a concern he had never felt before.
When Mu Zi Yan saw him like this, she knew that it seemed that even her master didn’t know what exactly was going on with Chu Ye, so she retreated and went back to her own house.
Ming Qing came with the meal, and after putting it down, seeing her frown, she went forward and asked with concern, “What’s wrong”
“Nothing, just thinking about Sect Master’s old illness.” Mu Zi Yan looked back at him and said.
“Oh.” Ming Qing nodded, “The Sect Master is not seriously injured.”
“How do you know,” Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to look at him, visibly stunned.
“All previous years were like this, and all survived, this year I think it will be fine.” Ming Qing got up, “You eat some and then rest early.”
“Good.” Seeing that Ming Qing seemed unwilling to mention more, Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to look at the sky outside and nodded her head in response.
After Ming Qing left, Mu Zi Yan looked at the meal in front of her, the corner of her mouth slightly hooked, knowing that this is Ming Qing specially let the back kitchen to do, there are two meals in it are specially made for Jun Qian Rui.
Mu Zi Yan will be warming the meal, on the bed after the couch, leaning against the side of the nap, straight until after Jun Qian Rui woke up from sleep, she is also followed by waking up.
Although Jun Qianrui is small, but he is extremely understanding, when he saw Mu Ziyan guarding him, he climbed up and smiled brightly at Mu Ziyan, and waited for Mu Ziyan to dress him, he got out of the bed, and walked outside.
Mu Zi Yan followed him out together, and she brought the warm meal over, Jun Qian Rui sat quietly, waiting until he had finished using it together with Mu Zi Yan, hooking a satisfied smile and looking up at her.
So it was a night, the next morning, Mu Zi Yan will take Jun Qianrui to pay a visit to the gold doctor, Jun Qianrui learn Mu Zi Yan style to give the gold doctor salute, this can be happy bad gold doctor.
“I didn’t realize that this Twelfth Highness is actually this intelligent.” Dr. Jin nodded slightly and then said, “Smokey, have you thought about this matter?”
“Apprentice only feels a strong affinity with the Twelfth Highness.” Mu Zi Yan looked at Dr. Jin and said, “Maybe it’s fate.”
“That’s true, if it wasn’t for you, he wouldn’t be alive today.” Dr. Jin nodded his head and responded.
Mu Zi Yan then said, “Master, this matter is of my own accord.”
“Good.” Dr. Jin nodded slightly, so he didn’t ask any more questions.
Jun Qianrui in the golden doctor to Mu Zi Yan teaching medical skills, will sit quietly on the side, Mu Zi Yan not let him bored, then find some interesting objects to him, so also in the Divine Doctor door stayed for half a month, Mu Zi Yan and then take him to leave.
When he returned to the mausoleum, Jun Qianrui’s temperament was more lively than before, and he was more intimate and dependent on Mu Ziyan.
She had just entered the palace when Jun Qianhao got the news and rushed over, so entangled that it gave Mu Zi Yan quite a headache.
A person who had exterminated the entire family of the State Duke’s House in his previous life, a person with a deep heart who had no interactions with her in her previous life, but was pursuing her so relentlessly in this life, and even though she had extreme patience, there was a time when she exploded.
Jun Qian Hao saw Mu Zi Yan staring straight at him with a condensed expression, he immediately understood Mu Zi Yan’s dissatisfaction with him, instead, he did not rush to leave, but took out a secret letter from his pocket and handed it to her.
Mu Zi Yan looked at him suspiciously, then picked up the secret letter, after reading it, her eyes flashed with a ghostly light, “You told me such a confidential matter, aren’t you afraid that I will bite back?”
“You won’t.” Jun Qianhao said on his own.
“How do you know I won’t” Mu Zi Yan raised her hand and handed this secret letter to Yun Xiang behind her, “Give this secret letter to the Crown Prince.”
“Yes.” Yun Xiang hung her head and answered, then she turned to leave.
Jun Qianhao, however, sat openly and calmly, without any impatience or consternation.
When Mu Zi Yan saw how calm he was, her eyes flashed a cold light, “Slow down.”
“Yes.” Yunxiang had just stepped out of the palace, and when she heard Mu Zi Yan’s voice, she then re-folded back.
Mu Zi Yan looked at Jun Qian Hao, “Speak, what’s the deal”
“As far as you are concerned, I have some kind of purpose for you,” Jun Qianhao asked lightly as he looked at Mu Zi Yan.
“Isn’t it,” Mu Zi Yan said in a cold voice, “Have you heard of the saying, to be solicitous of nothing is to be either a traitor or a thief.”
“Haha.” Jun Qian Hao let out a loud laugh, “Smoke ah, I Jun Qian Hao want what kind of women do not have, but I only care about you, my true love for you or false intentions, later you will understand.”
“No matter if it’s true or false, it can never enter my heart.” Mu Zi Yan said as she looked at Jun Qian Hao.
“It’s too early to say,” Jun Qianhao gathered his smile, “Since I’ve told you about this matter, I’m not afraid of it being leaked out, it’s all at your disposal.”
Mu Zi Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly, “In your heart, nothing compares to the dragon chair.”
“Yes.” Jun Qianhao said frankly, “But I do the same for you.”
Mu Zi Yan hooked her lips and smiled coldly, “How long have you and I known each other, do you really understand me or do you think all women should submit to you?”
“If you are that submissive of a woman, why would I bother taking the trouble” Jun Qianhao then got up, “Even if you would be annoyed, or do something ruthless to me, I would not change my mind.”
Mu Zi Yan’s eyes flashed with a ghostly light as she said in a deep voice, “Jun Qian Hao, I will not marry you even if I marry someone.”
“If you marry, you must marry me, or else you would rather have your jade shattered than be broken.” Jun Qianhao said in a deep voice and turned to leave the palace.
Mu Zi Yan’s eyes flashed a cold smile, and she lowered her eyes to look at Jun Qian Rui, who was frowning at the moment, which in turn dissolved the hostility that had risen up within Mu Zi Yan, the man’s mind was really hard to understand, and she still didn’t know how she had provoked Jun Qian Hao.
“Eldest Miss, the Third Prince is going to” Yun Xiang looked at Mu Zi Yan and only felt that this Third Prince’s behavior was also too arrogant and bold.
Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly and said, “Let him go.”
“Then, Eldest Miss, this secret letter,” Yunxiang re-presented the secret letter to her with both hands.
Mu Zi Yan raised her hand to receive it, and after carefully reading it, “Since the Third Prince gave the secret letter to me, I think it’s not easy for him to come out, so he’s just going to lend me a hand.”
“Missy is going to make a move” Yun Xiang thought that this Third Prince was really good at calculating.
Mu Zi Yan nodded and said, “It is a matter of life and death for the Marquis Mu, so I am going to step in.”
“Then this matter should be told to the Eldest Young Master and the Young Master of the Table” Yunxiang thought that since it was a matter for the Marquis Mu, it would be appropriate to tell the Eldest Young Master and the Young Master of the Table.
“Pass the message to them.” Mu Zi Yan continued, “It is imperative to take precautions before Princess Qing Li enters the capital.”
“Yes.” Rue Xiang answered with her head hanging down.
“It seems that Second Aunt already has plans.” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes flashed with a cold light.
“Eldest Miss, what does this matter have to do with the Second Mistress” Yun Xiang was about to turn around, when she heard what Mu Zi Yan said, she asked in confusion.
“Princess Qing Li is Sister Lu’s goddaughter, that is, Mu Zi Yue, this matter is it possible that the second aunt does not know what role Sister Lu played in this, I think the second aunt has already fallen back at this moment.” Mu Zi Yan said faintly.
“What Missy means is that the Second Mistress has defected to the Northern Green Country” Yun Xiang’s eyes flashed with a flash of surprise and she whispered.
“Right.” Mu Zi Yan said in a cold voice, “Since he defected to the Northern Qing Kingdom, Second Uncle must have turned his back on the old madam early on and defected to another master, and the master of these two might be the same person.”
“Then, the Second Mistress and the Second Master will surely work together” Yunxiang drew a breath of cold air.
“Second uncle was not born to old madam, then what about second uncle’s real life it seems that there is a hidden agenda here that I have overlooked.” Mu Zi Yan coldly laughed, “Second Auntie is so deep in her scheming that she even hid it from me.”
“Miss, within this Mu Hou House there is the old lady and the third master, in this mansion there is the second master and the second lady, there is also the third prince and the crown prince, when will this day be the end of your life” Yunxiang thought about the complex situation in front of her, only to feel that the eldest lady is living too hard.
Mu Zi Yan said in a low voice, “There must be a secret within the Marquis Mu Mansion that they want, which is why they are so calculating.”
She has always thought that the previous life of these people’s calculations is just the involvement between the Marquis of Mu and the State Ducal Palace, but now, she knows, afraid of more than that, this matter must be related to Grandfather and Grandmother, so what is the secret of this here? Corner of the door town, she can’t go now, and now the only thing that can be done is to prepare for and wait as early as possible.
Her eyes flashed with an evil light, “When it’s ready, it’s time for me to return to the capital.”
“Yes.” Yunxiang answered in a low voice, and then retreated.
Jun Qian Rui stepped forward and tugged on her sleeve, tilting his head to look at her.
Mu Zi Yan raised her hand and wrapped Jun Qian Rui in her arms, now that the relationship between her and Jun Qian Rui was getting closer, she looked down at him, “What’s wrong”
“Don’t frown.” Jun Qian Rui said softly, lifting his meaty little hand and placing it on Mu Zi Yan’s brow.
Mu Zi Yan smiled pleasantly with a light smile and nodded her head in response, “Good.”
Only then did Jun Qian Rui smile, so he accompanied Mu Zi Yan to play.
Straight to wait until the expiration of the period of January, the cloud princess personally came to the royal tomb to pick up Jun Qianrui back to the palace, since I saw Mu Zi Yan.
“Concubine Yun.” Mu Zi Yan is now the Cheng An County Lord, since she does not need to call herself a subject daughter, she slightly saluted towards Consort Yun.
Concubine Yun hugged Jun Qian Rui and looked at Mu Zi Yan with a smile, “I’ve worked hard for county princess these past few days.”
“Your Twelfth Highness is smart and understanding, it’s really endearing.” Mu Zi Yan smiled back.
“May the Sheriff Master take a step to speak,” Consort Yun said in a low voice.
“Your Highness, please.” Mu Zi Yan opened her mouth with a light smile, Jun Qian Hao had not appeared since that day when he argued with Mu Zi Yan, so now there was only Consort Yun and her.
Yun Fei along with Mu Zi Yan into the bedchamber, Jun Qian Rui is since the good behavior in the arms of Yun Fei, Mu Zi Yan whispered, “Your Highness but there is something to ask for”
“Yes.” Concubine Yun looked at Mu Zi Yan and said, “This palace is in a coma this time, I think the county princess knows the reason for this, Xin’er is already uncontrollable, for every layer of depth of her power, she will be in a coma, and the damage is great since she is in a life and death situation, if she can’t get through this hurdle, she and I will surely die.”
“And what if it passes,” Mu Zi Yan asked, looking at her.
“After that, she will live.” Concubine Yun lowered her eyes to look at Jun Qian Rui, “And I will be her victim since.”
“What,” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes flashed with a flash of ghostly light, “Then Your Highness”
“I’m afraid that I don’t have much time left, so the last time I entrusted the county princess with something, now I want to entrust it once more.” Concubine Yun then got up and knelt in front of Mu Zi Yan right then and there.
Seeing her like this, Mu Zi Yan quickly raised her hand to help her up, “Your Highness, don’t be like this, Twelfth Highness and I are very much in tune with each other, even if there’s no trust from Your Highness, I’ll take care of one or two things.”
“If there is an eventuality for me, it would be difficult for him to gain a foothold in this harem.” Concubine Yun looked at her and said, “Therefore, could you please ask the county princess to think of a way to get him out of the palace.”
Mu Zi Yan knows how many people in this harem staring at the cloud consort and Jun Qianrui, if the cloud consort really went, then Jun Qianrui will become a target, will certainly be fostered in the other concubines before, and now there is only the Liu Fei and Rong Fei, the two, Mu Zi Yan but I do not dare to guarantee that whether it can be good for Jun Qianrui, while the cloud consort is clear that the fear of Jun Qianrui’s situation will be more and more difficult.
She was silent for a moment, “Don’t worry, Your Highness, I will think of something.”
“Then I will be here to thank you, county princess.” Concubine Yun looks at Mu Zi Yan gratefully and says in a low voice, “Don’t worry, county princess, wherever I am in this harem, I will definitely not let county princess have any damage.”
Mu Zi Yan nodded her head and responded, “Your Highness should take care of your body, perhaps you can think of a method.”
