Chapter 214 – The Crown Prince’s House Arrest and Zhang Yiqing’s Death (1 / 2)
by Jessie@AFNCCThe next day, when Mu Zi Yan woke up, Jun Qian Rui had not yet woken up, she went to wash and dress properly, then went to Qi’s place to ask for peace.
Qi saw her coming and said with a smile, “Are you going this day”
“Today is mother’s main event, so my daughter won’t go to this hustle and bustle.” Mu Zi Yan said with a light smile.
Qi was just casually asking, knowing that she would not go, but also just smiled, together after breakfast, she will Mu Ling Jue and Mu Zi Wu threw Mu Zi Yan, and Lei Yichen together out of the Marquis Mu, to the State Duke’s residence.
Mu Ling Jue and Mu Zi Wu are still thinking about the novelties at Mu Ling Rui’s place, now that they see Qi’s absence, they beg Mu Zi Yan to go see him, Mu Zi Yan lowly laughed and said, “Go go go.”
“En.” Mu Ling Jue and Mu Zi Wu then happily went.
Mu Zi Yan turned around and went back to Smokefall Courtyard, Jun Qian Rui had also woken up.
Yun Fei dropped down, looked at her and said, “Something’s wrong.”
“Looks like you went out early in the morning.” Mu Zi Yan slowly sits down, since she picks up the bowl handed over by Yun Xiang and feeds Jun Qian Rui.
Yun Fei sat down and snorted coldly, “Boring.”
Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly, “But see what’s not boring”
“No.” Yun Fei picked up a pastry on the side and took a bite, then got up to leave.
Seeing Yun Fei like this, Yun Xiang also smiled along, “Eldest Miss, Yun Fei is really straight-natured.”
“How is the court going,” Mu Zi Yan asked slowly, not avoiding Jun Qian Rui.
“Impeachment of the Northern Road Supervisory Royal Historian, a total of eighteen counts.” Yun Xiang whispered.
“Enough.” Mu Zi Yan raised an eyebrow, “And?”
“The wave of officials is as high as two hundred, and most of them are the Crown Prince’s people.” Yunxiang then handed her the secret letter.
After Mu Zi Yan opened it and read it, she then said, “The Emperor is afraid that he won’t believe it.”
“The Third Prince did not come forward, and the person who impeached was someone under the Crown Prince’s heel, the Minister of Justice.” Yun Xiang whispered.
“That credibility is extremely high.” Mu Zi Yan whispered, “Just wait, this is just the first wave.”
“Eldest Miss, this time the Third Prince is going to completely bring down the Crown Prince” Yun Xiang said as she looked at her.
“Not yet.” Mu Zi Yan shook her head, “Wait a little longer, something big will still happen today.”
“Yes.” Yun Xiang nodded in response and then retreated.
Mu Zi Yan lowered her eyes to look at Jun Qian Rui and whispered, “What does Rui’er think”
“Mother Consort said that if you want a horse to run fast, you need to whip it.” Jun Qian Rui said indifferently.
Mu Zi Yan’s eyes slightly raised as she lowered her eyes and carefully sized him up, “Consort Yun has a good point.”
Jun Qian Rui said in disbelief, “That horse is frightened, and that whip is no good.”
“Yes, it will resist.” Mu Zi Yan said faintly, “Then it depends on what kind of bred horse you’ve chosen.”
“En.” Jun Qianrui nodded his head seemingly in understanding.
Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly and spoke, “Rui’er is so smart.”
Jun Qian Rui smiled brightly at Mu Zi Yan, then leaned on Mu Zi Yan’s lap.
Not long after, she saw Yunxiang enter, “Eldest Miss, the Emperor is sick.”
“But it’s serious,” Mu Zi Yan then asked.
“Perhaps I have contracted a wind chill.” Yun Xiang whispered back.
“I think this matter will not be shelved for too long, since there is an impeachment folding, the emperor will certainly send someone to go to a thorough investigation, this person is naturally to be the emperor trusted people, who will it be” Mu Zi Yan was silent for a long time, his eyes moved slightly, “It seems that Zhang big brother will have a headache.”
“Eldest Miss, you guessed correctly, there is indeed a decree for Elder Zhang to thoroughly investigate the case.” Yunxiang continued, “But in the end, there will be three more trials.”
“This is all an afterthought, now it’s up to Brother Zhang to judge.” Mu Zi Yan said faintly, “The slightest carelessness, I’m afraid that even he will be dragged into it, the emperor trusts him, but he is also letting him be a pawn.”
“Then, Missy is going to,” Rue Xiang asked carefully.
“Wait first.” Mu Zi Yan said faintly.
“Yes.” Without further words, Yun Xiang retreated again.
Straight after noon, Yunxiang hurriedly rushed over, “Eldest Miss, the North Road Supervisory Royal Historian has plotted a rebellion.”
“Plotting against the throne,” Mu Zi Yan sneered, “It seems to be under the guise of championing the crown prince’s ascension to the throne.”
“Exactly.” Rueyang answered in a low voice.
“This is touching the Emperor’s scales, he is now in his prime, and the officials underneath him are thinking of making him Zen throne, even if they know that it is a conspiracy to calculate, they are afraid that they will also be furious.” Mu Zi Yan coldly said.
“The Emperor is furious, and has already summoned the important ministers of the court to the palace at this moment.” Yunxiang was silent for a moment, “Eldest Miss, it is inevitable that Elder Zhang”
“Since there is no need for a thorough investigation, that is to be suppressed, the rebellious son must be put to death, then who should go this is a problem, the third prince is afraid that at this moment will remain neutral.” Mu Zi Yan said in a low voice, “It is not impossible to let the crown prince suffer some pain, he moved his mind on Rui’er’s body, I am going to find him to settle the score.”
“Then what Eldest Miss means is,” Yunxiang pondered for a moment, “slave girl understands.”
Mu Zi Yan said faintly, “Wait and watch the show, see how the crown prince will be resolved, if he does not have the ability to resolve the situation, then only the part of the beatings, by the third prince to pull down the horse, it is also sooner or later thing.”
“Yes.” Rue Xiang nodded in response and said no more.
Qi’s and Lei Yichen had lunch at the State Duke’s Mansion before returning, when back to the Mu Hou Mansion, Qi’s self was happy, and immediately went to get ready.
Lei Yichen accompanied Qi for a while before rushing to Smokefall Courtyard.
Mu Zi Yan is waiting for him to come over, see his color with a few points of depressed gas, whispered, “Righteous brother think the crown prince will not fall.”
“With the presence of King Liang, the Third Prince has a 60% chance of winning.” Lei Yichen said after a moment of silence.
“And yet I think it’s seventy percent.” Mu Zi Yan said as she looked at him.
“
He said.
“Exactly how strong the Cool King truly is is unknown today, and I’m only making a conservative estimate.” Lei Yichen said indifferently, “Smokey, how do you feel about this matter”
“It’s the Third Prince and the Crown Prince fighting, what does it have to do with me,” Mu Zi Yan raised her eyebrows and said, “They are fighting theirs.”
“That’s true.” Lei Yichen nodded in response.
Mu Zi Yan continued, “righteous brother at ease to prepare for the wedding matter is good, Lei Houfu stay out of the matter, will also avoid the emperor’s suspicion, now this juncture, Jun Qian Hao has the upper hand, end to see the crown prince has the ability to counterattack.”
“Rebellion is no joke, the Emperor has already decreed that the Crown Prince be placed under house arrest.” Lei Yichen said as he looked at her.
“House arrest is just a moment.” Mu Zi Yan whispered, “In today’s situation, if the Emperor does not place him under house arrest, is he acquiescing to the Zen throne?”
“As long as the Liang King does not fall, the Crown Prince will not fall.” Lei Yichen continued, “Who will this Princess Qing Li help”
“She suffered a big loss at Jun Qian Hao’s place and is harboring a grudge.” Mu Zi Yan raised her eyebrows, and the two of them fell silent.
Waiting straight until Mu Lingxuan returned, the three of them glanced at each other, and Mu Lingxuan said in a warm voice, “This day is a good day to enjoy the moon.”
Mu Zi Yan lowered her eyes and laughed out, “Brother has a point.”
“It’s not better to drink to the moon.” The meaning of Mu Lingxuan’s words was that the Crown Prince’s fight with the Third Prince was not even remotely related to him, and he only needed to finally the Emperor.
At this moment, the sound of a report came from outside, “Eldest Miss, Elder Zhang is here.”
“Please.” Mu Zi Yan raised an eyebrow, “Look at that, another hilarious one.”
“Yes, brother, how did you talk with Marquis Su” Mu Zi Yan had not yet had time to ask.
“It depends on where Marquis Su stands this time.” Mu Lingxuan said indifferently.
Su Qinrou sat on the sidelines and listened, her eyes downcast and silent, she had done her best.
Mu Zi Yan was silent for a moment, “I think Marquis Su should have said that he would press on.”
“Since sister said so.” Mu Lingxuan whispered, and then he saw Zhang Zong walking over with a smile.
“How come they are all gathered here.” Zhang Zong looked at the crowd and smiled brightly.
“You came here in a hurry, if the Emperor knew, he might be furious with the dragon’s face and throw this hard job at you again.” Mu Zi Yan said jokingly.
“I say smoke ah, you don’t tease me, I received that imperial decree at that time, I was fretting, I didn’t expect it to be a peak, now this hot potato, finally thrown out.” Zhang Zong sat down, the crowd had already set up the wine and food.
Mu Zi Yan looked at Yun Xiang behind her, “Go invite the second young master over.”
“Yes.” Yunxiang answered with her head hanging down, and went to invite them personally.
Zhang Zong looked at her, “This Second Young Master Mu’s body is well”
“Almost.” Mu Zi Yan said faintly.
“En.” Zhang Zong nodded slightly and then said, “I’m going to have a few more cups this day.”
“That won’t do.” Mu Zi Yan waved her hand and said, “If I eat and get drunk, how will I explain to sister Lu”
“I came to this place she is aware of it, and was thinking of coming over together, but let me stop it.” Zhang Zong looked at Mu Zi Yan and said.
“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded slightly, “I see, you’re worried about Qian’er staying and not leaving.”
“Yes.” Zhang Zong sighed, “That day when I went back, I chanted about you the whole day.”
“Look how inviting this nephew of mine is.” Mu Zi Yan said with a smile.
“It’s still lively.” Not far away, another person was seen coming in, it was Qi Xue’er and Qi Xuan.
Mu Zi Yan raised her eyebrows, “This day is really a good day to enjoy the moon.”
Qi Xue’er stepped forward to look at Lei Yichen, and after blushing slightly, she blessed herself and said, “Eldest cousin.”
“Cousin, just in time.” Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to look at Qi Xuan and said, “I figured there would be others who would come, I guess it’s to have more clean time.”
“Haha.” Zhang Zong looked at Mu Zi Yan, “Smokey is right.”
“Look, here it comes.” Lei Yichen was just in time to see the Chapter Staffer heading inward, and the crowd burst into laughter.
After an obvious beat from the staffer, and a few moments of helplessness on his face, the group sat down in one place.
“Marquis Zhang’s residence is not at peace nowadays.” Zhang Zong raised his wine cup, so the people raised their cups, clinked them, and drank themselves out.
“I am an idle man.” Commenting on the chapter, he fluttered his sleeves, with a great sense of two sleeves in the air.
Mu Zi Yan nodded her head and responded, “Cousin Zhang, you and Big Brother Zhang, as well as Cousin are the better for it”
“I thought that this is the only place that can be clean nowadays, so I came here to take a look.” Staffer said sadly.
“Tonight, we will not talk about matters of state, but only the wind and moon.” Mu Lingxuan said as he looked at them.
“Yes, no talk of state affairs.” The people responded in unison, and then they were in agreement.
When Mu Ling Rui came, he saw all the people sitting together without the slightest bit of restraint, he was slightly hesitant, but he still lifted his step forward, arching his hand and saying, “It’s a bit late.”
Mu Zi Yan said with a light smile, “It doesn’t matter, second brother’s body has not yet healed, it’s not appropriate to drink alcohol today, just enjoy the moon.”
“Yeah, I’ll take over for you.” Mu Lingxuan said in a warm voice.
“Good.” Mu Lingrui responded cheerfully.
So, a line of people will sit in a really talk about some interesting things, did not mention the matter of the court, but very comfortable.
In the Third Prince’s Mansion, Jun Qianhao was informed of the situation within the Marquis Mu Mansion, his eyes flashed with a cold light as he said in a deep voice, “It seems that they are going to stand by and watch with folded arms.”
Zhong Xuan leaned softly and bonelessly in his embrace, “Your Highness, they will definitely not intervene, so it’s good to save them from getting involved, but instead there’s a lot more resistance.”
“Xuan’er is right.” Jun Qianhao said in a cold voice, “Only if they don’t help the Crown Prince.”
“The twelfth prince’s fall from the horse was done by the crown prince, how could county princess Cheng An not know” Zhong Xuan said softly, every time she thought of Mu Zi Yan, she hated to strip her of her skin and pull out her tendons, but now was not the time.
“Rather, she doesn’t come up and step on the
It’s already considered generous of her not to come forward and step on it.” Jun Qianhao had loved and hated Mu Zi Yan since he brought her up.
Where Zhong Xuan could not see Jun Qian Hao’s mind, her eyes crossed a touch of coldness, her hands restlessly roaming over his chest, exhaling her breath like an orchid, “Your Highness, when this is accomplished, the beauties of this world will not all be yours.”
“Yes.” Jun Qianhao seemed to be thinking of the scene of him in his dragon robe reigning over the world, as well as Mu Zi Yan kneeling in front of him bowing down and letting him toy with her, so thinking of this, his blood boiled since then, and as soon as he rubbed Zhong Xuan into his arms, he lowered his head and domineeringly kissed her lips.
Zhong Xuan’s eyes were half narrowed, and she hooked the thin belt around his waist in a flirtatious manner, gently tugging it, the outer robe spread out, and her slender hands had already covered his tight skin along the inner garment
The crowd waited until four o’clock before dispersing in disinterest, going to court and resting.
Mu Zi Yan stretched her arms and waited until the crowd had left before she returned to the house.
Yunxiang came forward and said, “Eldest Miss, there is movement at the Crown Prince’s place.”
“En.” Mu Zi Yan raised her eyebrows, “Yesterday the Northern Road Supervisory Imperial Commissioner died.”
“Really fast.” Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly, “This is just the beginning, what’s the death of a Supervisory Royal Historian, there’s no place for this henchman that doesn’t count.”
“By the way, Zhang Qian rebelled.” Yun Xiang whispered back.
“He has been preparing all along, it’s just that this rebellion is not benefiting the Crown Prince, last time when he entered his mansion, he detected something wrong, it seems that he colluded with Jun Qian Hao early on.” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes flashed with a ghostly light and said.
“Eldest Miss, if this is really the case, the Crown Prince is afraid that he would never expect it.” Yunxiang’s eyes followed suit, only feeling that if this matter wanted to stop, she was afraid that it would have to go through another storm.
Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly and said, “The Crown Prince has vomited blood in 80% of cases.”
Yunxiang was visibly stunned and then said, “Eldest Miss, the slave girl did not get the news that the Crown Prince vomited blood.”
The corner of Mu Zi Yan’s mouth twitched as she whispered, “Then how is the Crown Prince”
“After getting the news, he fainted straight away.” Rue Xiang returned with downcast eyes.
“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded and said, “Zhang Qian is not easy to deal with, he is a local hegemon, and now that he has rebelled one after another, and under the banner of all the crown prince, the crown prince is in danger this time.”
“But the Cool King’s place appeared to be very calm and did not have any irregularities.” Yun Xiang whispered.
“The calmer they act, the more it shows that they are calculating something.” Mu Zi Yan was silent for a moment, “As long as they don’t implicate us, they will not bother.”
“Yes.” Yunxiang raised her eyes to see Bi Yun enter and retreated.
After Mu Zi Yan washed up and changed into clean clothes, she raised her eyes to see that Jun Qian Rui had also woken up and was currently looking at her with a smile on her face.
Inside the Liang Wang Mansion, Jun Qianlun raised his eyes and looked at the calm and relaxed Liang Wang, he only felt that nowadays in this situation, his father appeared to be too calm.
And he was not at liberty to ask more questions, but simply got up and retired.
When Princess Qing Li came out from behind herself, she whispered, “His Highness is trying to keep him out of this.”
“If we let him know, it will only be bad.” The Cool King said in a cold voice.
“It’s just the Prince’s place,” Princess Qing Li whispered.
“Princess this place can be set up” Liang Wang turned his eyes to look at Princess Qing Li and asked.
“It has been set up since.” Princess Qing Li smiled faintly, “Now we’re just waiting for this place of Your Highness.”
“Good.” King Liang nodded his head in response, then he got up and stepped out of the study.
After a while, Princess Qing Li went out from the dark passage, and when she returned to her house, she saw that Jun Qianlun was waiting for her.
“Emperor’s son-in-law this is,” Princess Qing Li raised an eyebrow faintly.
“It’s nothing, it’s just that Your Highness seems to be very busy lately.” Jun Qianlun said indifferently.
“Busy,” Princess Qing Li hooked her lips and smiled, whispering, “since it is not comparable to the extra horse harnessed by the side of a team.”
Jun Qianlun hung his eyes without saying a word, before arching his hand and turning to leave.
Qing Li Princess watched Jun Qian Mia left, eyes low flashed a touch of coldness, turned his eyes to look at the sudden fall of the men, “keep an eye on him, this period of time is not allowed to step out of the Wang Fu half a step.”
“Yes.” The subordinates answered and whispered, “Master, do you really want to help the Cool King?”
“En.” Princess Qing Li said in a cold voice, “Jun Qian Hao caused me to suffer a great deal of injuries last time, so I’m going to ask for this account back.”
“Subordinate will go and do it.” The subordinate hung his head and replied, then retreated.
Princess Qing Li’s eyes flashed with a flash of ghostly light, “Zhong Xuan, this time I’d like to see who succeeds and who loses.”
Compared to the two days of the hundred officials of the fear, as well as the involvement of the world’s families of the whole day’s worry, the Marquis of Mu will appear to be a little too quiet, not to participate in any strife, since it is happy to be at ease.
Mu Ling Rui entered the Smokefall Courtyard and saw that Mu Zi Yan was talking to Jun Qian Rui, he revealed a rare smile and walked up and whispered, “Sister, I have something to say to you.”
“Second brother, sit down for a moment.” Mu Zi Yan smiled and answered, then instructed Jun Qian Rui to say a few words and got up to go out of the inner room.
Mu Ling Rui looked at her and said, “Yesterday Zhang Yiqing came looking for me.”
“She,” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes flashed with a flash of ghostly light, “It seems that her martial arts skills are good, and she was able to evade the hidden guards in the mansion.”
“She came from the secret passage.” Mu Lingrui looked at her and said, “Perhaps it was left behind at the old madam’s place.”
