Chapter 186 – Hou Yi Yi Died of Poisoning (2 / 2)

“I don’t know.” Mu Zi Yan shook her head, “Now I can only use Lu Erniang’s identity to prove my innocence.”

“But now within the prison, if it is discovered,” Mu Lingxuan said as he looked at her.

“It doesn’t matter, I already have an arrangement.” Mu Zi Yan said as she looked at him.

“Good then, you take care of everything.” Mu Lingxuan nodded his head and replied, not being able to stay long.

Waiting straight until it was dark, a black shadow fell down, since she had changed her identity with Mu Zi Yan, and then she flashed away.

Seeing this, the person who was secretly watching hurriedly flew forward to report.

Zhong Xuan had a smile on her lips, “She’s jumping over the wall”

“Master, why don’t we take the opportunity to dismantle her identity” the henchman suggested in a low voice.

“Now is not the time.” Zhong Xuan sneered, “Let her make a fuss for a while, and when the time is ripe, expose her, so that she not only loses her reputation, but also commits the crime of deceiving the king.”

“Yes.” The henchman answered with his head hanging down.

After Mu Ziyan’s disguise, she rushed to the Beijing Zhaoyin’s government office at dawn the next day, and when Niangzi Lu saw her come back, her eyes flashed with a cold light, “Come over here.”

“Sister, I,” Mu Zi Yan lowered her head then obediently followed her in.

“Speak.” Nyx Lui looked straight at her.

“Big Brother Zhang is not in any trouble.” Mu Zi Yan came forward and said.

“I know.” Lady Lu said in a cold voice, “Just what are you doing this for”

“Naturally, I am accompanying someone who wants to put me to death to have a good time.” Mu Zi Yan said with a smile.

“This time it’s a big deal.” Lady Lu said in a deep voice.

“If not, how could she be beaten and hurt.” Mu Zi Yan came forward, “I just wanted to test to see what condition she has recovered to nowadays.”

“You are wanting to know if she has grown in her abilities nowadays after you hit her hard the last time” Niangzi Lu said faintly.

“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded and answered.

“You girl.” Niangzi Lu said in a cold voice, “I naturally believe you, but what about this person outside you are a little careless, in case she counts on you, what should you do”

“I’m not here to save the day,” Mu Zi Yan said with a smile.

“Since she knows your true identity, there’s no guarantee that she won’t expose you in public, and if that’s the case, then what should you do,” Niang Lu said as she looked at her.

“How can I,” Mu Zi Yan said with a raised eyebrow, “I can only trick them into doing it.”

“Well, what are you going to do,” Nyonya Lu asked softly, seeing that she wasn’t being serious and not talking nonsense with her.

“Lend a hand.” Mu Zi Yan said as she came forward.

“Tell me.” Lady Lu’s eyes flashed with a touch of cunning as she asked in a low voice.

Mu Zi Yan said with her ear, and Niangzi Lu blinked, “You, how could you come up with such a weird method”

“How,” Mu Zi Yan asked with a smile.

“It is good since.” Niangzi Lu nodded her head and responded, “If this plan really comes to fruition, it will be difficult for Zhong Xuan to turn her life around again.”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan smiled and nodded, “I will make her disappear completely when the time comes.”

“Are you really sure about this,” Niangzi Lu asked with downcast eyes.

“Sixty percent.” Mu Zi Yan continued, “However, Zhong Xuan has a deep mind, this matter must be resolved quickly, if not, she will definitely close her hand if she senses something.”

“Now that you’ve appeared, that Third Prince will surely come back to haunt you.” Niangzi Lu said indifferently.

“It’s better if he comes.” Mu Zi Yan raised an eyebrow, “That’s why even he is cleaned up.”

“If that’s the case, your Big Brother Zhang didn’t suffer this trip in vain.” Niangzi Lu frowned, “But that Miss Hou”

“Sister Lu, can’t you see that” Mu Zi Yan asked with a raised eyebrow.

“Aigoo.” Niangzi Lu couldn’t help but laugh this time, “I said it, you two girls, well really”

“Sister Lu, keep your voice down,” Mu Zi Yan said with a smile as she raised her eyes and looked around.

“Alright.” Niangzi Lu hurriedly stopped her laughter, her brows all smiles.

Hou Yi Yi brought Hou Shi Zi’s body back to the Hou family, and when Mrs. Hou saw it, she cried and fainted right away.

Hou Yi Yi sighed, and then she ordered someone to put Hou Shi Zi’s body back into the coffin that had been prepared early in the morning, and turned around and went to comfort Mrs. Hou.

Mu Zi Yan and Niang Zi Lu had since examined Zhang Zong’s body, and then re-visited the murder scene, before going to the Hou family immediately afterward.

When Hou Yi Yi saw Mu Zi Yan coming, she ordered someone to stop her, and went up to her, saying, “Is it not a cat crying for fake mercy to come now?”

“Eldest Miss Hou, I have come merely to inspect the corpse of Hou Shizi.” Mu Zi Yan said as she looked at Hou Yi Yi.

“Hmph.” Hou Yi Yi whispered, “The person has been dead for such a long time, even if there are any clues, I’m afraid that I won’t be able to find them out.”

Niangzi Lu looked at Hou Yi Yi’s condensing eyes and that eloquent appearance, and sighed in her heart, if it wasn’t for Smokey’s reminder, she would have definitely been fooled as well.

“In that case, then I will take my leave.” Mu Zi Yan then did not say any more, these were just for outsiders.

Waiting until Mu Zi Yan and Niangzi Lu left, Hou Yi Yi turned to look at Hou Shi Zi inside the coffin, her eyes flushed red, and immediately returned to her house.

Niangzi Lu sat inside the carriage and looked straight at Mu Zi Yan for a long time, “Each and every one of these is really something.”

Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly and said, “Sister Lu was also very good just now.”

“Forget it.” Lady Lu waved her hand, “What should we do now”

“Wait.” Mu Zi Yan continued, “I think she’ll make the next move.”

“Good.” Niangzi Lu nodded her head and replied, so she went back to the Beijing Zhaoyin’s government office with Mu Ziyan.

These days, Niangzi Lu was anxious about Zhang Zong’s matter and did not take good care of Zhang Qian, at this time, she was holding Zhang Qian and raised her eyes to look at Mu Zi Yan, “Hey, this child is not crying at all.”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded and responded, “The twelfth prince has already entered the princess’ residence.”

“Yes.” Empress Lu looked at her, “If it wasn’t for your kind heart, I’m afraid that this twelfth prince would still be in the palace today.”

Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly and said, “It’s just a matter of having a destiny with the twelfth prince.”

“Now that I’ve become a mother, I understand the pain of being a mother.” Empress Lu looked at her, “It’s just that you’re still a little girl, how can you understand this?”

“My mother endured three disasters to give birth to my brother, and I personally delivered him, so how could I not know” Mu Zi Yan said with a smile.

“That’s true.” Lady Lu nodded her head in response, quite emotional, “When I was in labor, he was not with me.”

“Yes.” Mu Zi Yan took Niangzi Lu’s hand, “This is Big Brother Zhang’s greatest regret.”

“You girl, don’t speak for him.” Lady Lu said with a smile.

Mu Zi Yan lowered her eyes and looked at Zhang Qian, “Big Brother Zhang can’t lie down like that either, things should be resolved as early as possible.”

“It’s just a couple of days away.” Luna said, looking at her.

Late at night, Hou Yi Yi raised her eyes to look at Zhong Xuan who had suddenly dropped down, she said in a deep voice, “I’ve already done things as you said, why are you still coming to me”

“Eldest Miss Hou, it’s out of your hands now.” Zhong Xuan said as she looked at her.

“As you can see, Lu Erniang has returned, and I’m afraid this matter can’t be hidden anymore.” Hou Yi Yi said with a raised eyebrow.

“Does Miss Hou not know that Lu Erniang is Mu Zi Yan,” Zhong Xuan asked as she looked at Hou Yi Yi.

“What did you say” Hou Yi Yi looked at her in shock and laughed coldly, “Don’t be ridiculous, how could she possibly be County Lord Cheng An”

“It seems that she truly treats you as an outsider, a matter that Eldest Miss Su is aware of.” Zhong Xuan said indifferently.

“I don’t believe it.” Hou Yi Yi looked at her and whispered, “Go away, I am not going to do anything more for you”

“If this matter is revealed, does Miss Hou still have a life,” Zhong Xuan said as she looked at her.

“So what,” said Hou Yi Yi, “I killed Lord Zhang with my own hands, I should return a life for a life.”

“Doesn’t Miss Hou have any regard for the Hou family,” Zhong Xuan continued, “When it comes to the east window, the Hou family will surely be implicated.”

“The matter was done by me, it has nothing to do with the Hou family.” Hou Yi Yi looked at her, “Isn’t side consort Zhong worried that I’ll push you out”

“That depends on whether or not Great Miss Hou has the ability to do so.” Zhong Xuan laughed coldly, “I forgot to mention that that antidote Miss Hou took was a chronic poison, and now that the time has come, I’ve come specifically to send Miss Hou on her way.”

“You,” Hou Yi Yi looked at her incredulously, only to feel pain in her belly and blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.

The corner of Zhong Xuan’s mouth hooked, “Miss Hou walks well, only the dead are the safest.”

“You I won’t let you go even if I become a ghost.” Hou Yi Yi looked at her angrily and raised her hands to pounce on her.

Zhong Xuan dodged backward and flew away immediately afterward.

Hou Yi Yi spat blood from her mouth and instantly collapsed, broken.

And after the distant men saw this, they then flew forward to report.

At this moment, a white figure fell down, and then put a corpse down and left with Hou Yi Yi.

Inside the hot springs manor, Chu Ye stood within the Qinya Xuan, and the maidservant helped Hou Yi Yi to place herself on the soft couch outside.

Chu Ye lifted his steps out, took a look, his eyes flashed with a flash of ghostly light, his palm moved, Hou Yi Yi was supported by the palm wind and half sat up, he waved his cloud sleeve, since he pointed her acupoints through the air, “But it was sent in time, and then later, I’m afraid that it is difficult to keep her life.”

“Your Excellency, this Zhong Xuan’s methods are really ruthless, to the point of placing such an iniquitous poison.” Bai Xuanli said from the side.

“You and send a message over, saying that she is not seriously injured.” Chu said indifferently.

“Yes.” Bai Xuan hung his head and replied, then he dashed away.

Chu Ye forced the poison out of Hou Yi Yi’s body, and then threw a porcelain bottle to the maidservant at the side, “Feed her and take good care of her.”

“Yes, Your Excellency.” The maidservant at the side answered, and after catching the porcelain vase with both hands, she stepped forward to help Hou Yi Yi leave.

Chu Ye dropped his eyes and coughed a few times as Ming Jing walked over, “Sect Master, be careful.”

“No harm done.” Chu Ye waved his hand and turned around, then returned to Qinya Xuan.

When Mu Zi Yan received the news from Bai Xuan, the corner of her mouth hooked into a cold smile, “Zhong Xuan is really trying to kill to silence.”

“Miss Hou is really fine,” Niangzi Lu asked with worry.

“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded her head and responded, “With Chu Ye around, nothing will happen.”

“That’s good.” Lady Lu nodded, “I think I’ve suffered as well.”

“In the future, I will definitely get it back a hundredfold from Zhong Xuan.” Mu Zi Yan said in a cold voice.

“You’re doing this to prevent Zhong Xuan from going after them again in the future.” Niangzi Lu said as she looked at Mu Zi Yan.

“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded her head and responded, “Zhong Xuan wanted to use you guys to deal with me, so she designed to let Hou Shizi fall into the trap, if I was able to keep Hou Shizi alive for a while after I poked Hou Shizi in the public that day, it’s hard to guarantee that Zhong Xuan won’t lay her hands on him a second time.”

“You’re thinking far ahead.” Niangzi Lu whispered, “Since Zhong Xuan has already made her move, it’s time for you to step in as well.”

“There’s no rush now, when the news gets out tomorrow, Zhong Xuan will surely be pleased and will focus on me right afterward.” Mu Zi Yan said in a low voice.

“It seems like she’s trying to put you to death completely.” Lady Lu said in a cold voice.

“She and I were originally immortal.” Mu Zi Yan continued, “But only she seeks death.”

Lady Lu laughed lowly, “You have such a deep hatred with her”

“Yes.” Mu Zi Yan looked at Niangzi Lu and nodded her head in response, the revenge of killing her son, the hatred of exterminating her family, the pain of having her bones thrown out, how could she forget it!

Lady Lu looked straight at her, seeing the dark swirls in the lower part of her eyes, and sighed quietly, “You girl, being strong makes my heart ache.”

Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly and said, “Then in the future, Sister Lu will love me more, but I also know that nowadays, Sister Lu loves this nephew of mine the most.”

Lady Lu laughed lightly, “You’re the only one who can talk.”

Mu Zi Yan then went forward and leaned on Niangzi Lu’s shoulder, raising her eyes to look at the scenery outside, “I am grateful to have met you all.”

Lady Lu turned her eyes to look at her, “It is fortunate that we were able to meet you.”

Early the next morning, the marquis house will be in chaos, Hou Da Miss died of poisoning in the marquis house, Mrs. Hou did not know how many times she cried and fainted, Hou master is so sad that he sits there not knowing what to do.

Su Qinrou got the news and hurriedly rushed over, when she saw Hou Yi Yi lying quietly on the bed, her figure trembled and she fell backward, fortunately the maid beside her supported her, otherwise she was afraid that she couldn’t bear it and fainted.

“Yi Yi.” Su Qinrou rushed forward and pounced over, unable to stop the tears from falling down her face.

And in the prison, Lord Li rushed over, when he saw Mu Zi Yan sitting quietly in the cell, his eyes flashed with doubt, turned around and lost amount of money aside the jailer, “last night can be something happened”

“Back to my lord, no.” The jailer whispered.

“Sheriff, Eldest Miss Hou died from poison last night.” Lord Li stepped forward and said.

“What,” Mu Zi Yan violently raised her eyes to look at Lord Li with a surprised expression.

Seeing this, Lord Li said in a low voice, “It seems that the Sheriff Lord doesn’t know about this.”

“I’ve been in jail, so how would I know” Mu Zi Yan whispered, and then she sat down on the ground.

Lord Li then said no more, turned around and left the prison, hurrying to the Hou family.

Inside the Hou Mansion, there was a lot of crying, and when Lord Li went in, he saw the body of Hou Yi Yi.

Not long after, Niangzi Lu and Mu Zi Yan also hurriedly arrived, when they saw the situation in front of them, the two of them exchanged glances, Niangzi Lu stepped forward, “My lord, let me check.”

“Good.” When Lord Li saw that Lu Erniang was also there, this heart was more or less hopeful.

Niangzi Lu checked herself carefully and turned to look at Lord Li, “The poison that was taken was different from Hou Shizi’s, and now I can’t find out exactly what kind of poison it is.”

“Let me take a look.” Mu Zi Yan said as she stepped forward and said after carefully examining it, “This is a chronic poison, I think Miss Hou has been poisoned for some time.”

“Could it be the poison from last time” Mrs. Hou asked as she stepped forward and looked at her.

“The last poison was a guide.” Mu Zi Yan said indifferently, “It seems that this person who gave the poison had calculated it early on.”

“What person is so vicious, killed my son, and now took my daughter’s life,” Mrs. Hou cried red eyes through the vicious.

Mu Zi Yan said in a low voice, “This case is very strange, and now we can only rely on this clue of Miss Hou to check down.”

“Yi Yi this place” Hou Laozi asked as he looked at Mu Zi Yan.

“Exactly.” Mu Zi Yan nodded and responded, “There are clues on Miss Hou Da.”

“What clues,” Master Hou asked hastily.

“Master Hou please look.” Mu Zi Yan said and took out a reddish-colored silk thread from Hou Yi Yi’s cuff, “I remember that the silk thread used for the clothes that Miss Hou has always worn is not this kind.”

“This silk thread seems to have come from the palace.” Mrs. Hou raised her eyes to look at it, and her eyes flashed with a cold light.

“Something from the palace,” Mu Zi Yan nodded slightly, “That would be good to investigate.”

“In that case, then enter the palace now.” Elder Hou said in a deep voice.

“Wait for me to think first.” Mu Zi Yan carefully came forward, her eyes flashed with a flash of light, “Miss Hou Da has a faint rouge fragrance on her body, this fragrance is somewhat unique.”

“Rouge fragrance,” Mrs. Hou stepped forward to look at Hou Yi Yi, “She is not applying any rouge these days.”

“I think I’ve smelled this rouge scent somewhere before.” Luna said as she looked at her.

“I am also somewhat familiar with it.” Mrs. Hou carefully calmed down and said, suppressing her heartfelt sadness.

“It seems to have a clue.” Mu Zi Yan said in a low voice, then looked at Lord Li, “My lord, now you can enter the palace.”

“Good.” When Lord Li saw that Mu Zi Yan had just returned and had found a clue, while he had tossed and turned for so long without even a hint of a clue, he couldn’t help but sweat a little.

Master Hou whispered, “I will also enter the palace together.”

“It’s better for the Marquis to stay at the mansion, after all, it’s not appropriate to enter the palace nowadays.” Mu Zi Yan said as she looked at Master Hou.

Master Hou gave a slight start, indeed it was inappropriate to enter the palace nowadays, he nodded his head, “Rather, it was me who was confused.”

Madam Hou looked at Mu Ziyan, “Second Miss Lu, you must find the murderer.”

“Madam don’t worry.” Mu Zi Yan gently holds Madam Hou’s hand, “Madam don’t be too sad.”

“Good.” Mrs. Hou looked at Mu Zi Yan’s eyes, and for some reason, this mind calmed down quite a bit.

Mu Zi Yan and Niang Zi Lu then rushed to the palace with Lord Li.

Inside the Third Prince’s residence, Zhong Xuan turned her eyes to look at her men, the corner of her mouth hooked up with a smug sneer, “Entering the palace is even better, just what I wanted, I didn’t expect her to throw herself into the net, you act according to the plan.”

“Yes.” The henchman answered with his head hanging down, and then he dashed away.

Jun Qianhao entered at this moment, just in time to see the cunningness that flashed through her eyes, his eyes sank and he whispered, “Xuan’er is going to get it”
