Chapter 182 – Senior Uncle’s Return and Concubine Yun’s Illness (2 / 2)

“The Third Prince has just returned, she has been accompanying the Third Prince since.” From Sister returned truthfully.

“Something that can’t rise to the occasion.” The old madam could not look down on Zhong Xuan, a commoner’s daughter, even if she had a deep heart and ruthless means, she could not change that lowly status.

From Sister continued, “I’ve heard that Side Consort Zhong has already conspired with Princess Qing Li.”

“So much the better.” The old lady whispered, “This will surely get rid of this big trouble.”

“Old Lady, Missy is no sitting duck.” From Sister carefully reminded.

“The little ability she has nowadays, against Zhong Xuan it’s a tie, if she adds another Princess Qing Li, how can she deal with it” the old madam snorted coldly, “When the time comes, you take the opportunity to insert a foot, she will surely die.”

“Old slave understands.” From Sister answered with her head hanging down, and then went to do so.

Mu Zi Jing these days are very peaceful, now the third house, no more master mother, and she is just a foster third miss, as long as it does not interfere with the old lady, it is also considered to be at ease.

Now that she has learned that Mu Zi Yan has returned, she has since had her mind set on it, raising her eyes to look at Shuang’er and saying in a low voice, “I’ll go to Big Sister’s place since I want to.”

“It’s just that now that the third young miss has gone ahead, I don’t know how the eldest young miss feels, after all, the eldest young miss nowadays is not what she used to be, she is the Cheng An County Lord.” Shuang’er whispered.

“Only because of this, I have to go even more, otherwise, I’m afraid that these future days will be difficult.” Mu Zi Jing was smarter than Mu Zi Ruoxi, knowing that she could bend and bend, and also knowing some of the ways of the world.

“Then the slave girl will go and prepare.” Shuang’er hung her head and returned.

“En.” Mu Zi Jing nodded her head and replied, so she familiarized herself with dressing up and went forward to the Smoke Drop Courtyard.

Mu Zi Yan was taking a nap when she heard Yun Xiang come to report, she faintly raised her eyebrows, “Let her go back.”

“Yes, Eldest Miss.” Yunxiang answered in a low voice, then she went out of the courtyard and looked at Mu Zijing, “Third Miss, Eldest Miss said for you to come back another day.”

“That’s good.” Mu Zi Jing had known that there would be such an outcome, but she still had to come, and she was not happy in her heart, but she could not help but come.

Mu Zi Yan of course knows Mu Zi Jing’s mind, that’s why she doesn’t want to see her, since she’s not happy, why add to the problem?

The next morning, Mu Ziyan entered the palace, since it went to the Yongshou Palace to thank the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager did not have any abnormalities, as she had seen her in the past days, with a little bit of love.

Mu Zi Yan is out of the Yongshou Palace, then see a person from the royal whisky down, a snow-white dress, light footsteps, wearing a white veil, come in style.

She stood in place, a breeze came, she lightly moved her lotus steps, seemingly giving birth to a lotus flower, her body was permeated with an ethereal atmosphere.

When the man traveled to her, he only gave her a faint glance before lifting his steps towards the Palace of Eternal Life.

“She is the Lin’an County Lord” Mu Zi Yan turned her eyes to take another look, that leisurely stance, with a hint of warmth, but with a transcendent aura, making it unforgettable at first sight.

Mu Zi Yan secretly sighed, it is really the first beauty in the world, just one glance is enough.

“Exactly.” The palace maidservant at the side hung her head and replied, “Your Highness, please.”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan waited until that figure left before she turned to leave, she had never seen the Lin’an Sheriff in her previous life, and when she came out of her family temple three years later, the Lin’an Sheriff had already died of illness.

And in this life, she had seen it with her own eyes, and it was true to its name.

She sat inside the soft sedan chair, her eyes flashed with a flash of ghostly light, remembering that Chu Ye was also dressed in a white suit of snow, standing in one place with the Lin’an County Lord, which was really a pile of bijou.

Since County Lord Lin’an had appeared, then Chu Ye’s return this time should also be for County Lord Lin’an.

She thought to herself, when the soft sedan chair fell down, she got out of the sedan chair and raised her eyes to see Consort Yun’s palace in front of her, she slightly froze, then she lifted her steps to enter.

Only to see a flash of a figure suddenly standing in front of her, she lowered her eyes and said with a light smile, “So it’s the Twelfth Highness.”

“Sister.” Jun Qianrui called out crisply, although he hadn’t seen him for a year, he had grown a lot taller, his face was still fleshy, but he looked more and more lovely.

“Your Twelfth Highness still recognizes me,” she is now a County Lord, her status is different, so she does not need to call herself a subject before Jun Qian Rui.

“Sister, mother consort is waiting for you.” Jun Qian Rui said and tugged Mu Zi Yan’s hand inward.

Mu Zi Yan lowered her eyes to look at his clear eyes, the corner of her mouth hooked up in a faint smile, so she let him drag her into the palace.

When she traveled to the bedchamber, she saw Concubine Yun lying on the bed, she went forward and slightly blessed herself, “Your Highness.”

“Sheriff Lord is here.” Concubine Yun looked at her and smiled lightly.

“How is your mother’s body,” Mu Zi Yan asked in a low voice.

“Xin’er has broken through the final barrier, my days are numbered.” Concubine Yun raised her hand and held it, “County princess, please accept this item.”

Mu Zi Yan raised her hand to receive the box handed by Consort Yun, she looked at Consort Yun suspiciously, “This is”

“That’s all I can do, all things are mutually exclusive, if one day Xin’er poses a threat to the county princess, this object is her nemesis.” Concubine Yun coughed as she spoke.

“Your Highness must not do so.” Mu Zi Yan, however, felt that if Concubine Yun really gave this item to her, she was afraid that there would be no hope of survival.

Concubine Yun waved her hand and said, “Take it, if I don’t give it to you, is it hard to give it to the Emperor”

“But,” Mu Zi Yan looked at her, her eyes overflowing with worry.

Concubine Yun looked to Jun Qianrui, who was beaming and stubbornly looking at her from the side, and beckoned at him, “Come here.”

“Mother Consort,” Jun Qian Rui lowered his head and slowly marched to her side.

“Can you remember what mother consort instructed you to do” Yun Fei said as she looked at him.

“Rui’er has written it all down.” Jun Qian Rui held back her tears and whispered back.

“En.” Concubine Yun nodded her head and responded, the corner of her mouth hooked into a pleased smile as she raised her eyes to look at Mu Zi Yan, “Can I call you Smokey?”

“Niangniang.” Mu Zi Yan whispered, “Of course.”

“Then you can call me sister.” Concubine Yun looked at her, “I knew when I entered the palace that there would always be this day, the only thing I can do is to make sure that he can live well, I believe that Smokey will be able to protect him well, just as when the Fourth Princess entrusted the child to you.”

“Sister, I promise you will definitely do.” Mu Zi Yan holding her hand, only to feel her fingers cold, a mother, knowing that she will soon leave this world, the last concern is his safety, the previous life of her, in the end, why ever do not know Leng Hanfeng’s use of her, but for the sake of Lin’er, she ultimately endured, step by step concessions, but the last call is what?

As she looked at Concubine Yun, she seemed to be thinking of her own past life, being used, deceived and betrayed, and in the end, she could only leave with regrets.

But Concubine Yun was luckier than her because, while she saw everything clearly, she herself was blind.

“Good, good.” Concubine Yun held her hand tightly and sighed softly, “After all the prosperity, it’s nothing more than a yellow earth.”

Mu Zi Yan left Consort Yun’s palace, her heart seems to have a thousand pounds, she already had a feeling that Consort Yun is also the matter of a few days, but the thought of her departure, Jun Qianrui will have to face the pain of losing his mother alone, she can not bear it.

She just sat on the sedan chair, then saw Yi concubine came over, holding the princess who was just born soon, she did not get involved in the strife of the imperial son, in this harem, she obviously has an heir, that is, she has a status, and later do not have to worry about whether one day will fall out of favor, and there is no more ceremonies.

Compared to Concubine Yun, Mu Zi Yan felt that Concubine Yi was lucky, at the very least, she could properly accompany her child to grow up, instead of leaving with worries and regrets, but not being able to see her child grow up to be a person. Man.

She took a deep breath and stepped forward to slightly bless, “Empress Yi Concubine.”

“County princess need not be courteous.” Concubine Yi was grateful to Mu Zi Yan, if it wasn’t for her, perhaps she and this child would have already perished.

“Concubine Yi is here to see Concubine Yun,” Mu Zi Yan asked in a low voice.

“I just don’t know about your twelfth highness, this palace is able to help a little bit” Yi concubine is sincere to ask.

Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly and said, “Thank you for your concern, this matter has already been arranged by Empress Yun.”

“That’s good.” Concubine Yi looked at her, “Since that’s the case, then this palace will go to see Concubine Yun’s sister.”

“Zi Yan excuses herself.” Mu Zi Yan answered with her head hanging down, and with a slight blessing she resumed her ride in the sedan chair and left.

Waiting out of the palace, she saw a carriage outside, Mu Zi Yan immediately recognized that this carriage was from the Princess’s residence, and the guard saw her come out, and then immediately went forward, “My humble servant sees the county princess.”

“But County Lord Lin’an,” Mu Zi Yan was silent for a moment and asked in a low voice.

“Exactly.” The guards nodded and responded, “The Sheriff asks you to go forward.”

Mu Zi Yan nodded slightly, then lifted her steps and marched to the carriage, the guards whispered, “County Lord Cheng An, please.”

When she entered the carriage, she saw that there was a white-clothed Lin’an County Lord sitting inside, the woman’s hair bun only had a white jade orchid hairpin stuck in it and nothing else, her eyes were filled with a faintly cold light, and she was currently staring directly at her.

“County Lord Lin’an.” Mu Zi Yan nodded slightly towards her.

“There is no need to be polite, County Lord Cheng’an.” County Lord Lin’an’s voice was permeated with a softness that was uniquely hers, and seemed to be mixed with an unconcealable aloofness.

Mu Zi Yan felt that this County Lin An’s temperament was the same as hers, but remembering Chu Ye, she felt that she thought it must be because her temperament was similar to County Lin An’s that he would take care of herself a little more.

As she thought so, the carriage was already moving forward, and County Lord Lin’an continued, “I’ll call you Smokey’s younger sister from now on, so as to be closer.”

“Then my sister will call you Sister Lin’an from now on” Mu Zi Yan but also said nonchalantly.

“Good.” County Lord Lin’an readily responded, pondering for a moment, “Does Sister Smokey still remember the box I gave you earlier”

“Since I remember.” Mu Zi Yan continued, “This box was not brought by my sister this morning.”

“No harm done.” County Lord Lin’an looked at her, “It is only because you are familiar with Duke Chu that I gave you that box, and if you have any difficulties, if it is something I can help with, I will certainly help you out.”

“Dare I ask sister Lin An and Mr. Chu” Mu Zi Yan looked at her and asked.

“I am a close friend and confidant of Mr. Chu, I have always been weak and sickly since I was young, thanks to Mr. Chu’s medical skills, I have been able to live until now.” County Lord Lin’an said in a low voice, “Sister Smokey has doubts”

“No.” Mu Zi Yan see Lin An County Lord to her so frank, the heart is since a few more points of closeness, said with a smile, “But sister is a matter of request.”

“Could it be about the twelfth prince,” County Lord Lin’an asked in a low voice.

“Since.” Mu Zi Yan didn’t expect County Lord Lin An to have gotten to the bottom of it, she whispered, “Sister Lin An knows that Concubine Yun doesn’t have much time left.”

“Her body has not been good, earlier to see her when the doctor has said that she is dying, but pity the twelfth prince, at a young age there is no mother consort.” County princess Lin An’s voice is always calm, like the gurgling sound in the heavenly palace.

Mu Zi Yan nodded slightly, “Sister Lin An was able to beg Her Highness Princess Yue Hua to bring the twelfth prince back to the Princess residence to raise him”

“This,” County Lord Lin’an’s eyes flashed with a touch of doubt, “You know that there is no precedent for this in the palace.”

“If it is the last words of Lady Yun Fei,” Mu Zi Yan continued to ask, she can have a method to Jun Qian Rui from the palace to bring back, but he as a son of the emperor, even if it is not in the palace to grow up, but also can not be lost in the identity of the emperor.

Lin’an County Lord was silent for a long time before she opened her mouth, “That’s just it, since it is promised to you, since you can’t go back on your word, this matter I’ll look for my mother to see.”

“Sister thanks sister Lin An.” Mu Zi Yan hurriedly and respectfully made a big salute towards County Lord Lin An.

County Lord Lin’an waved her hand and said, “Sister Smokey doesn’t have to be like this.”

“If the twelfth prince is able to be raised in the princess’ residence, it would be the twelfth prince’s destiny, and Empress Yun would be relieved even if she went there.” Mu Zi Yan already had this idea today when she saw the first face of County Lin An, she did not expect that County Lin An would promise her a promise because of Chu Ye, she suddenly felt that all this seemed to be the will of heaven.

Shouldn’t she be thanking Chu Ye more If it wasn’t for him, Sheriff Lin An would definitely not be so polite to her.

Mu Zi Yan looked at the Lin’an County Lord, thinking she rarely out of the Princess House, a rare trip out, but also into the palace to the Empress Dowager to ask for peace, however, she recalled that the Northern Qing Dynasty Grand Prince said, the Lin’an County Lord was once out of the capital, then, that period of time, the Lin’an County Lord did what?

While she was pondering, the carriage had stopped, and County Lord Lin’an looked at her, “Sister Smokey, Marquis Mu has arrived, if there is any news, I will send someone to inform you.”

“Good.” Mu Zi Yan responded with a smile, and then she got out of the carriage.

Straight until the carriage left, Mu Zi Yan turned around and went back to the Mu Hou Mansion.

To be back to the house, Mu Zi Yan just entered the Jiyue courtyard, will see a small pink ball pounced over, directly grabbed the hem of her sleeve, she bent down to pick up the small pink ball, carefully looked at and looked at.

“Jue’er’s appearance, in the future I don’t know how many ladies of the court will be charmed.” Mu Zi Yan said snidely.

“Big sister.” Mu Ling Jue since he couldn’t understand Mu Zi Yan’s words, he also just smiled foolishly.

Mu Zi Yan carried him into the house, Qi looked at her with a smile, “What are you doing carrying him, it’s oddly heavy.”

“Not heavy.” Mu Zi Yan smiled and spoke, “Jue’er is so cute, it’s not heavy at all.”

“Jue’er is still not coming down” Qi said as she looked at Mu Ling Jue.

Mu Ling Jue, however, wrapped his arms around Mu Zi Yan’s neck and desperately shook his head, “No, don’t come down.”

Mu Zi Yan happily hugged Mu Ling Jue and sat down, raising her eyes to look at Qi, “Mother, brother and daughter can be close.”

“You, just came back and spoiled him.” Qi whispered.

“After some time, the younger brother will have a younger sister to take care of, don’t bully the younger sister at that time,” Mu Zi Yan said as she looked at Mu Ling Jue with her eyes downcast.

“Sister,” Mu Ling Jue looked at Mu Zi Yan with wide, round eyes in disbelief, “Can I eat it?”

“Haha,” Mu Zi Yan laughed cheerfully, raising her eyes to look at Qi, “If sister can eat that’s not bad.”

“Who sent you back just now” Qi but changed the topic.

Mu Zi Yan whispered, “County Lord Lin’an.”

“County Lin’an,” Qi’s eyes were slightly pause, surprised, “County Lin’an, but it’s rare to go out of the house, how could it meet with you.”

“Perhaps it’s fate.” Mu Zi Yan continued, “Mother, County Princess Lin’an is truly immortal.”

“Yes, those who have seen her are unforgettable at first sight.” Qi looked at her, “That’s why she wears a veil.”

“Mother, Consort Yun is afraid that she won’t make it.” Mu Zi Yan looked at Qi and said.

“She has not been well during these times of your absence, just pity the twelfth prince.” Qi sighed quietly.

“The twelfth prince is very smart and understanding.” Mu Zi Yan whispered, “Just as lovable as Jue’er.”

“Then, Lady Cloud Consort has instructed you on something” Qi saw Mu Zi Yan mention this matter and thought that there must be a reason for it.

“Yes.” Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes and said, “Empress Yun asked her daughter to look after the twelfth prince.”

“Although you are a county princess, you are only a foreign name, what ability do you have to take care of an imperial son” Qi looked at her and said, “It’s hard not to say that you promise”

“Although my daughter can’t take care of it, there is one person who can.” Mu Zi Yan whispered back, not forgetting to tease Mu Ling Jue into playing around.

“You mean Princess Yuehua,” Qi asked in a deep voice as her eyes flashed with a flash of ghostly light.

“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded and answered.

“But how can Princess Yuehua agree, can’t it be that you just” Qi’s eyes flashed a touch of consternation, “you this girl, that Lin’an Sheriff’s temperament you know, in case this matter is learned by the Emperor, you’re not stirring up a fire.”

“My daughter believes that County Lord Lin’an will have a method.” Mu Zi Yan didn’t know why, she just felt that County Lord Lin An could help her, even though she had been an old ghost for a thousand years and had seen through human nature since, she still couldn’t help but believe in County Lord Lin An.

“You’ve always been cautious, but it’s rare that you trust someone so much, it seems that this Lin’an county princess is indeed extraordinary.” Qi looked at Mu Zi Yan and said, “It’s really a good match.”

“Yes.” Mu Zi Yan smiled and responded, “Mother, don’t worry, my daughter will have a method.”

“You, how could you be so involved with the royal family, first the fifth prince, then the third prince, and now the fourth princess and the twelfth prince.” Qi looked at her, her eyes overflowing with worry, she knew very well that being too deeply involved with the royal family, the slightest mishap would lead her to a place of no return.

Mu Zi Yan whispered, “Perhaps this is the path a daughter should take.”

“You child, don’t say these.” Qi cradled Mu Zi Yan in her arms, “No matter what, mother will protect you well.”

“With father and mother loving me, and brother’s love and care, my daughter is not afraid of anything.” Mu Zi Yan leaned in Qi’s arms and said with a smile.

“Jue’er grows up to protect big sister as well.” Mu Ling Jue tilted his head and looked at Mu Zi Yan, tugging on her sleeve and saying in a milky voice.
