Chapter 187 – Chu Ye, Who Are You Really (Second Shift Requesting Orders) (1 / 2)

Mu Zi Yan into the palace, since the Division of Weaving and Dyeing, to find the silk thread, because the silk thread is very unique, so check up very smooth.

“The third prince’s residence,” Lord Li lowered his eyes to look, his eyes flashed a touch of hesitation, “It is heard that only the Zhong side consort is most fond of the reddish-red color, it is difficult not to be related to the Zhong side consort.”

“Exactly.” Mu Zi Yan continued, “Now it’s just a guess, we still have to travel to the Third Prince’s residence.”

“Good.” Lord Li nodded his head and responded, thinking that he had to go forward even in this situation nowadays.

“It’s just that it’s still not too late to go now” Niangzi Lu looked at Mu Zi Yan and asked.

“It should be in time.” Mu Zi Yan said as she turned her eyes to look at Lady Lu.

“In that case, let’s go.” Niangzi Lu nodded her head slightly, and the three of them were about to leave the palace.

This just out of the Weaving and Dyeing Division, they saw Jun Qian Hao is slowly coming, her eyes slightly raised, eyes low flashed a flash of ghostly light, then stood in place and waited.

Lord Li did not expect to run into the Third Prince at this time, and not knowing whether to be happy or sad, he hurriedly greeted him, “I see Your Third Highness.”

“Lord Li this is,” Jun Qianhao asked as he looked at him.

“Back to Your Third Highness, I am heading out of the Weaving and Dyeing Division to Your Third Highness’s residence.” Lord Li spoke bluntly.

“Oh, it’s rather a coincidence that this Palace has come.” Jun Qianhao said in a warm voice, but shifted his gaze away from Lord Li’s body and landed on Mu Zi Yan.

Mu Zi Yan just faintly blessed herself, “My daughter has met Third Highness.”

“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you, how have you been,” Jun Qianhao asked in a low voice, his words full of care.

“I’m sorry that Third Highness is concerned, everything is fine.” Mu Zi Yan said with a smile.

“Since we are heading to this palace’s residence, how about this palace personally lead the way” Jun Qian then returned her gaze to Lord Li’s body.

“Third Highness, please.” Lord Li then didn’t dare to delay and said with downcast eyes.

Jun Qianhao lowered his eyes and smiled lightly as he turned around and headed out.

Lord Li was right behind him, while Mu Zi Yan and Niangzi Lu followed behind Lord Li, and the group headed out.

Niangzi Lu passed a look to Mu Zi Yan, only feeling that the Third Prince’s sudden entry into the palace was ill-intentioned.

Mu Zi Yan thought that Jun Qian Hao had come to take advantage of the fire, and Zhong Xuan was eager for her to enter the palace so that she could reveal her identity, but how could she not be prepared?

At Zhong Xuan’s place, the manpower that had already been prepared and placed in the palace had already traveled to the Palace of Diligence at this moment, only to disappear halfway through the journey.

Jun Qianhao was also waiting for the Emperor’s summons, only that when he reached the palace gates, no decree came from the palace.

His eyes narrowed slightly as he turned his eyes to look at Mu Zi Yan with a thoughtful expression.

Mu Zi Yan smiled faintly and just followed forward.

Waiting for the third prince’s residence, Jun Qianhao was the first to enter, followed by Lord Li and Mu Ziyan with Niangzi Lu, Lord Li opened the door, “Third Highness, I came here because of Miss Hou’s case to find the Zhong side consort.”

“Oh,” Jun Qianhao’s eyes slightly raised as he looked at him in surprise, “Is it possible that she has something to do with this case?”

“It’s too early to tell, since we have to ask before we know.” Lord Li whispered.

“In that case.” Jun Qianhao turned his eyes to the guards behind him, “Go and invite Side Consort Zhong to come.”

“Yes.” The guards answered with an arch and turned to leave.

Zhong Xuan had been waiting for news from the palace, but what she waited for was a letter from Mu Zi Yan to enter the house, her eyes flashed a darkness, “What’s going on”

“Master, the person sent from the palace to report to the Emperor was killed.” The men suddenly dropped their drooping hands and said.

“What,” Zhong Xuan’s eyes went slightly cold, “dead.”

“Exactly.” The henchman looked at her and said, “Master, what should we do now”

“What did Mu Zi Yan find out?” Zhong Xuan suppressed her anger, everything was going well, why did something go wrong here?

“She went to the Weaving and Dyeing Division and checked the provenance of the silk threads.” The henchman whispered back.

Just at this moment, the sound of a report came from outside, “Reporting to the side consort, Lord Li has come to the mansion, His Highness has asked you to go forward.”

“I know.” Zhong Xuan replied in a low voice.

“Master, she actually found this place,” the henchman said as he looked at Zhong Xuan incredulously.

“What a Mu Zi Yan.” Zhong Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, “Looks like I fell for it.”

“Fooled,” the henchman looked at her, his eyes overflowing with amazement.

“It’s not too late, now that she already has physical evidence, you and go to the Hou family to see, that Hou Yi Yi is really dead? If not, immediately find her trail, kill her, cover up all the traces, Mu Zi Yan this is set up a trap waiting to drill it.” Zhong Xuan’s eyes flashed with a flash of ghostly light, “I counted on her, but she will count on me.”

“Master, how could this Mu Zi Yan have realized it so early,” the henchman was quite puzzled.

“Go do it first.” Zhong Xuan said in a cold voice.

“Yes.” The men didn’t dare to delay and hurriedly turned around to leave.

Zhong Xuan took a deep breath, the hand hidden with her sleeve clenched into a fist, secretly gritting her teeth, “Mu Zi Yan, I’d like to see if you can bring me down.”

She cleaned up, and with a subdued look on her face, she left the house and headed for the front hall.

When Mu Zi Yan saw Zhong Xuan come, her eyes flashed with a touch of coldness, only to feel that Zhong Xuan looked at her with more scrutiny and darkness in her eyes, she was silent for a moment, secretly screaming that it was not good, it seemed that Zhong Xuan had already noticed something.

She raised her sleeve and deliberately waved it in front of Niangzi Lu’s face inadvertently, and seeing this, Niangzi Lu knew that she could not act according to the plan, so she did not say anything more, but stood at Mu Zi Yan’s side, and the group saluted towards Zhong Xuan.

Zhong Xuan turned to look at Jun Qianhao, slightly blessed herself and said, “Concubine has met Your Highness.”

“Xuan’er, Lord Li has something to ask you.” Jun Qianhao said bluntly, his expression translucent with indifference.

Mu Zi Yan’s eyes slightly converged, it seems that this plan won’t work, but it doesn’t matter, even so she has to catch the murderer out.

Zhong Xuan looked at her and continued, “I wonder what Lord Li has to ask me”

“Zhong side consort, this silk thread was found from Miss Hou’s body, just now I have already entered the palace to check the account book, this batch of silk thread was entered into the third highness’s residence.” Lord Li looked at Zhong Side Consort and said, “I heard that only Zhong Side Consort loves the reddish color the most.”

Zhong Xuan nodded her head nonchalantly and responded, “Since that is the case, but it doesn’t prove that this silk thread is then related to killing Ms. Hou.”

“I just don’t know where the Zhong side consort has been using the rouge and powder” Mu Zi Yan asked faintly.

Zhong Xuan smiled lightly and said, “It was made by the mansion’s specialized incense powder master.”

“Oh.” Mu Zi Yan responded with understanding, “Then the unique aroma on Miss Hou’s body is the same as the rouge aroma used on the Zhong side consort, how can this be explained”

“Second Miss Lu, I’m not the only one who uses this kind of rouge.” Zhong Xuan said indifferently.

“As far as my daughter knows, the rouge used by the third prince consort is not this kind of aroma, and since Cui side consort is having a happy time, she is not allowed to use rouge, and nowadays only Zhong side consort can use it.” Mu Zi Yan looked at her and said.

“That’s true.” Zhong Xuan saw Mu Zi Yan say so, her heart was secretly vicious, but on her face, she acted very plainly, she had counted on everything, but she was caught in Mu Zi Yan’s trap, and was blissfully unaware of it, and was even more complacent, but fortunately, she was still able to salvage it now.

Mu Zi Yan continued, “Folk daughter remembered that Zhong side consort and Miss Hou do not know each other well, then why would there be this silk thread on the body, but also stained with Zhong side consort sole use of rouge it”

“I did meet Ms. Hou, but it was just by chance.” Zhong Xuan looked at her and said, “It’s hard to conclude that I killed Miss Hou”

“Since it can’t.” Mu Zi Yan said in a low voice, “However, Zhong side consort is suspected”

“It seems that Second Miss Lu has decided that I am the murderer when she came to the mansion this day,” Zhong Xuan said as she raised her eyes to coldly look at Mu Zi Yan.

“Yes or no, Zhong side consort must know it well.” After Mu Zi Yan said that, she whispered, “Lord Li, now Zhong side consort is the only clue, Miss Hou’s death is related to Zhong side consort since.”

Lord Li nodded slightly and raised his eyes to the Third Prince, “Third Highness, this”

“Lord Li will just handle the case impartially.” Jun Qianhao, however, had no intention of taking sides.

Mu Zi Yan saw Jun Qian Hao with such an attitude, but she always looked at Zhong Xuan, she wanted to see what method Zhong Xuan could use to get out of this.

But Zhong Xuan knew that Mu Zi Yan must have gotten hold of all the evidence, if Hou Yi Yi is not dead, then what she said is the hard evidence, what if that Hou Shi Zi is not dead too?

Zhong Xuan was shocked, it was impossible, Hou Shizi was definitely dead, otherwise, how could the corpse be explained

She lowered her eyes and said, “If Lord Li can find evidence, I have nothing to say, if it’s slander, I will definitely pursue it to the end.”

When Lord Li saw Zhong Xuan’s tone like this, the certainty in his heart was a few points less, he turned his eyes to receive Mu Zi Yan, coughed dryly a few times, and then said, “I’ll retire first.”

When Mu Zi Yan saw that Lord Li was bluffed by Zhong Xuan’s tripe, the corners of her mouth hooked slightly, so she said no more and turned to leave with Lord Li.

Zhong Xuan stood in the front hall, her face showing a fierce cruelty, Mu Zi Yan, I’d like to see what you can do to me!

“Xuan’er has truly met her match.” Jun Qianhao said in a nonchalant manner, getting up and heading inward.

Zhong Xuan turned her eyes to look at him, the corners of her mouth hooked into a snicker, and with a lift of her steps, she headed back to her courtyard.

“Master, Miss Hou is not dead, that corpse is not Miss Hou’s.” The henchman’s eyes sank and he reported in a low voice.

“Hmph.” Zhong Xuan snorted coldly, “What a Mu Zi Yan.”

“Master, my subordinate has learned that Miss Hou is now at the Hot Springs Manor, what should we do now” the henchman asked as he raised his eyes to look at her.

“Hot springs manor,” Zhong Xuan slapped her palm on the several cases, “Mu Zi Yan, it seems like you’re going to completely put me to death.”

“My lord, if that Miss Hou returns alive, the east will be revealed at that time.” The henchman continued.

“Alright, I’ll think about this matter.” Zhong Xuan waved her hand, stopping her men from continuing, and turned to enter the inner room.

Mu Zi Yan went out of the Third Prince’s Mansion and then sat inside the carriage, Niang Lu looked at her, “Can’t see it, she found out fast enough.”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded and responded, “It’s a step faster than I thought.”

“Then she will definitely be on guard.” Niangzi Lu looked at Mu Zi Yan, “I’m afraid you won’t be able to succeed with this plan.”

Mu Zi Yan sighed, “So what’s the solution”

“Hey, what should we do now” Nyonya Lu then asked.

“She will definitely seek a scapegoat and remove all traces.” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly.

“What a Zhong Xuan.” Empress Lu couldn’t help but sigh, “This woman has an evil mind and a deep heart.”

“However, Yi Yi is now in the Hot Springs Manor, as long as she is safe, there is still a chance.” Mu Zi Yan said faintly.

“En.” Lady Lu nodded her head and responded, “Even if we can’t destroy her completely, we have to let her learn a lesson.”

“Hasn’t she had enough lessons,” Mu Zi Yan asked with a raised eyebrow.

“Then what should we do now” Niangzi Lu’s eyes sank slightly, worried since.

Muzzy Smoke whispered, “Be one step ahead of her.”

“What do you mean,” Niang Lu whispered as her eyes flashed brightly.

“It seems that sister Lu knows what I’m thinking.” Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly and opened her mouth, waiting until Lord Li had reentered the Beijing Zhaoyin’s government office, since he was worried.

“Is this Zhong side consort a murderer or not” Lord Li looked at Mu Zi Yan and asked.

“Whether it is or not, we will know after today.” Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly.

“Did Second Miss Lu discover something” Lord Li looked at Mu Zi Yan and asked.

“It’s just that I feel that this matter is permeated with oddities.” Lu Erniang said in a low voice, “Your Excellency has labored all day, so go rest.”

“Where can I rest easy now,” Lord Li sighed, “Second Miss Lu, if we can really find the murderer, this official will also rest easy.”

“Lord Li and don’t worry.” Mu Zi Yan whispered.

When Lord Li saw how calm Mu Zi Yan was, he nodded his head slightly and turned to leave.

Niangzi Lu went to look after Zhang Qian while she went back to the house, “How is it”

“Master, Zhong Xuan already knows that Miss Hou is still alive.” Hidden One whispered back.

“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded faintly, “It seems like she’s moving quickly.”

“Master, will something happen at Lord Zhang’s place,” Hidden One continued to ask.

“Should not.” Mu Zi Yan said faintly, “What she is doing now is self-preservation, she will definitely seek out a scapegoat.”

“A scapegoat,” Hidden One looked at her in disbelief, “now she can still be turned around”

“There is.” Mu Zi Yan nodded her head and responded, “Everything will turn around until the last moment.”

“She can still have what method” Hidden a think in addition to find the scapegoat, but now all the evidence points to her, was thinking of letting her throw herself into the net, did not expect to now in turn by her early detection.

Mu Zi Yan pondered for a moment, “She will definitely do it tonight.”

“Master, what is she going to do” Hidden One looked at Mu Zi Yan and asked.

“Killing to silence.” Mu Zi Yan said indifferently, “The person who knows the truth nowadays, besides me, is Yi Yi.”

“Hot Springs Manor she can get in” whispered Hidden One.

“She can’t get in, but someone else has the ability.” Mu Zi Yan said in a cold voice.

“It’s hard to believe that she’s going to out the master behind her” Hidden One looked at Mu Zi Yan, his eyes flashing with surprise.

“Not without this possibility.” Mu Zi Yan whispered, “It seems like there will be a vicious battle tonight.”

“Then wouldn’t Lord Zhang and Miss Hou have wasted their efforts” Hidden One thought that in the end there would be a big fight, so wouldn’t the previous calculations be in vain?

“Not for nothing.” Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly, “I think that dead body is not really a vegetarian.”

“The subordinate is getting more and more confused.” Hidden One is now along with Mu Zi Yan, this nature has also come alive a bit, unlike the beginning of the period when he didn’t utter a word.

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to look at him, “You will know when this night comes.”

“Master, what should my subordinate do now” Hidden One answered with his head hanging down.

“Don’t do anything nowadays.” Mu Zi Yan said indifferently, “Let Zhong Xuan think that I have not noticed her difference and continue to mislead her.”

“Yes.” Hidden One respectfully answered, and then he flew away.

Mu Zi Yan mouth corner hooked up a touch of condensation, slowly got up and left the Beijing Zhaoyin government office, now she also has some internal strength, so for flying eaves and walls, although not able to be as powerful as they are, but also compared to the carriage to a lot faster.

She arrived at the hot springs manor without any problems, Chu Ye saw her return, put down the scroll in his hand and raised his eyes to look at him, “She’s fine.”

“Zhong Xuan has already noticed something.” Mu Zi Yan said as she looked at him.

“Oh.” Chu responded indifferently, “Then what does Smokey want to do”

“What does senior uncle think,” Mu Zi Yan then sat down and poured a cup of tea and nonchalantly took a few sips.

In the mouth there was a silky sweetness, and there seemed to be a refreshing ethereal air, she raised her eyebrows and looked at him, “This is”

“The first snow picked at the top of the mountain, put under the pear tree and buried for three years, this tea was picked from the craggy and dangerous peaks.” Chu Ye said with a smile.

“Oh.” Mu Zi Yan raised her eyebrows, “No wonder.”

“Do you like it,” Chu Ye asked softly, his brows tinged with a touch of warm and tenderness of the spring breeze.

Mu Zi Yan shifted slightly and answered with downcast eyes, “That’s not bad.”

“I’ve already had Bai Xuan send it over to you.” Chu Ye said indifferently.

“Many thanks senior uncle.” Mu Zi Yan was not polite, and answered right away, only because this tea was very rare, and it was indeed memorable.

Chu Ye saw that because she was in a hurry, her forehead was covered in a thin layer of sweat, and with a light smile, he drew out a silk handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to her, “Nowadays, although you are able to move around freely, lightweight skills aren’t something you can use in this way.”

Mu Zi Yan did not take the kerchief in his hand, but drew her own from her sleeve and gently wiped it.

Chu Ye smiled reassuringly, his slender fingers imprinted on the square handkerchief, like a slinky poetic painting.

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to look at him, this person does not see the appearance, but always able to give people a kind of extreme beauty, as if the snow lotus as calm, but as that conflagration like demonic, such a person is too dangerous, but but it is just for her to run into.

Chu Ye allowed her to look around and said with a smile, “Smokey already has an idea, so go and do it yourself, and as for the aftermath, I’ll take care of it.”

“Good.” Mu Zi Yan knew that even if she did not open her mouth, Chu Ye would also go and do it, only, she was always unwilling to lean too close to him, only feeling that once the trap went it would be doomed.

In her previous life, she had paid a bone-crushingly painful price for love, but in this life, she was unwilling to get entangled in love entanglements and hurt herself.

She slowly got up, “Senior uncle, disciple excuses herself.”

“Go.” Chu Ye saw her deliberately avoiding herself, the corners of his mouth curled into a faint smile, and after she left, he murmured, “It seems like I need to think of other methods.”

After Mu Zi Yan exited Qin Ya Xuan, she raised her steps to visit Hou Yi Yi.

Just traveled to the halfway point, will see a green figure fell, Mu Zi Yan see him fall, light smile, “Every time so appear, can not be a little novelty.”

“No.” Cloudflare stood in front of her and leaned in to look at her.

Mu Zi Yan stepped back, tilted her head and raised an eyebrow, “What’s wrong again”

“Hard to see.” Cloudflare said with a snort and turned to leave.

The corner of Mu Zi Yan’s mouth turned away as she raised her hand and touched the human skin mask on her face, and coldly snorted, “Not knowing what to do.”

When she entered the house, she saw Hou Yi Yi was leaning on the bed, her face white, she was drinking the medicine, putting the bowl down, raising her eyes to see her coming, pulling out a faint smile.
