Chapter 217 – Death of the Cool King (Second Shift) (1 / 2)

Mu Lingxuan looked straight at her and was silent for a long time before raising his hand and gently patting her shoulder, “Sister, this matter should be mine to do.”

“Brother, there are some things you can’t do, only I can do it.” Mu Zi Yan poured tea and handed him the tea cup, “Brother, there are a lot of inescapable in this world, being in this position, you have your responsibility, you also have your last resort, I know that you will have a lot of concerns, but also want to think thoroughly, so those who can’t see the light let me do it.”

“You girl, on the contrary, is more old-fashioned than me.” Mu Lingxuan has never been a virtuous person, being in this position also does not allow him to be too kind and weak, gentleness is just an appearance, once he touches his scales, he will also expose his darkest heart, it’s just that, he has a sister that is too powerful, so much so, that his sharp claws are well tucked away.

Mu Ling Rui looked at the siblings in front of him and seemed to realize something as he whispered, “What can I do”

Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly and said, “Second brother, your position today may seem ordinary, but it can actually play a vital role.”

“I understand.” Mu Lingrui was silent for a moment and said in a low voice, “Whatever my sister wants to do, I will spare no effort to cooperate.”

“Many thanks, Second Brother.” Mu Zi Yan smiled and handed him the teacup.

Mu Ling Rui rarely revealed a bright smile and took the teacup, only to feel warmth through his palm.

Mu Lingxuan no longer say more, things have come to this point, only to fight, otherwise, Mu Houfu will no longer exist.

People are selfish when faced with a matter of life and death, especially when it concerns the rise and fall of an entire family, and Mu Lingxuan is no exception.

This is the first time Mu Zi Yan frankly and unfairly said her heart, she can be alone, but, she also want to let them have a psychological preparation, she waited for four years, no, is waiting for a thousand years, planning for four years, from despair to hope, even if she can show calm and self-contained, even if she pressed down a thousand years of hatred buried deep inside, but, whenever the night is deep and quiet, she will always think of her Lin’er, think of her previous life The images of her loved ones around her dying tragically one by one, she couldn’t put aside her hatred and start a new life, only after her heart’s demon was completely eliminated would she be able to be truly reborn.

She was thinking that the heavens had given her a chance to be reborn, to bring everything back to square one, in order for her to take her destiny into her own hands instead of being driven by others, this was a world where the weak were strong and the strong were strong, and only if she was strong enough, would she not be swallowed up by power.

After Mu Lingxuan and Mu Lingrui left, Mu Ziyan was still sitting in the pavilion, she raised her eyes to look at the twinkling stars in the night sky, in this vast dome of the sky, she was ultimately too small, however, in this Great Amazing Country, she couldn’t become a small pawn in the hands of those in power.

The corner of her mouth hooked up a touch of evil smile, the night is very deep, rolled up layers of black fog, gradually cohesion, shrouded in her body, her heart is not only good, but also evil, and the source of all the evil is that buried in the heart of a thousand years of hatred of the seed, will eventually have to blossom and bear fruit, she does not need to wait any longer.

She sat within the gazebo for the entire night, feeling the darkness in the night sky, seemingly recalling the thousand years she had spent wandering through the dark hell, reading through the countless luxuries of the world, and watching as it finally returned to peace.

She was cold, without a ray of sunshine through her heart, and her heart had become so dark that she could no longer feel the slightest beat.

Until the next day, the first ray of sunshine in the morning sprinkled down, like a ray of hope blooming in the air, and then sprinkled down on her body, slowly seeping into her heart, she likes to see the moment of dawn, the darkness will eventually disperse, the sky will be bright once again, and so on week after week, but she has felt the darkness of the whole thousand years, so how much sunshine can light up her dark and bleak heart?

She smiled lightly, the good thing is that now there are relatives around her, there are friends, she cares about people are alive and well, this warmth, perhaps one day will slowly dispel the darkness in her heart slowly, she slowly got up, Yunxiang and Biyun is always accompanied by her side, so sitting for a night, she is already cold all over her body, but she can not feel the slightest bit of coldness.

She tilted her head back and inhaled deeply, only to feel that warmth being drawn into her heart as well, the beginning of another beautiful day.

“Eldest Miss.” Yun Xiang called softly from the side.

“En,” Mu Zi Yan’s voice had not yet recovered, penetrating cold and low.

“Eldest Miss, but do you want to bathe and change,” Yun Xiang asked carefully.

“Good.” Mu Zi Yan lifted her steps out of the pavilion, Xu stepped into the house, and waited for the cold air on her body to dissipate a little before she entered the inner room.

Jun Qian Rui had already woken up, raising his eyes to watch her come in, rolling them and whispering, “Sister Cheng An.”

“Rui’er is awake.” Mu Zi Yan rushed at him and said softly.

“Sister Cheng An, you did not rest yesterday,” Jun Qian Rui frowned.

“There are some things that may not matter.” Mu Zi Yan laughed, “I’ll accompany Rui’er to have breakfast, then rest and go.”

“Good.” Jun Qian Rui’s frown then evacuated and he answered with a smile.

Mu Zi Yan did not say any more, and waited for the bath, changed into clean clothes, and re-made up before going out of the inner room.

Su Qinrou will accompany Qi’s breakfast every day, seems to have become a habit, last night after Mu Lingxuan came back, did not say a word, stood in front of the window silent for a long time, until dawn, will go to the morning court.

Although she didn’t know what the siblings had said, she sensed a different aura emanating from Mu Lingxuan, something she hadn’t seen in the past, and she suddenly felt that perhaps a storm was afraid to come.

Qi remembered the situation last night into the palace, and now still sighing, the heart is since a lot more worried, after all, the smoke is too sharp, the moon is full, she is worried that in the future the smoke will attract a lot of trouble.

Mu Zi Yan accompanied Jun Qian Rui with breakfast, since it was to go to Qi’s place to ask for peace, Qi saw her come over, said in a serious tone, “Smoke, last night’s matter how do you think of the

What do you think about the night?”

“Mother, what should come will always come, even if the empress dowager loves her daughter so much, why should she back down” Mu Zi Yan said lightly.

“I know.” Qi heard Mu Zi Yan say this, and roughly understood her mind, knowing a daughter is like a mother, how could Qi not understand Mu Zi Yan’s true mind.

It is only strange that she was born a girl, if it is a male body, it will be a generation of lords in the future, but Qi can only sigh.

Su Qinrou lowered her eyes without saying anything, and waited until after she and Mu Zi Yan came out, she couldn’t help but ask, “Sister, do you and I still need to cover up for each other?”

“Sister-in-law understands in her heart, so why should I say anything more,” Mu Zi Yan said with a smile.

Su Qinrou couldn’t help but laugh, “You, you’re always like that.”

“Since sister-in-law and I are family, we are not talking about two families.” Mu Zi Yan held her hand, “This matter will eventually come to an end.”

“We are in this position, but you have more courage than me.” Su Qinrou is a daughter’s mentality, even if the ears and eyes, know that she has the wealth and honor, but also have to bear the responsibility behind these positions, she also has her own mind and calculations, but compared to Mu Zi Yan, her little calculations are only used for the back of the house, and now her those calculations are not used at all, just because, she married someone, the back of the house is only one of her.

Su Qinrou is grateful and feels lucky, looking at Mu Zi Yan, she has a number in her heart, there are many things she can not intervene, the only way to pretend not to know is the best support and help for her, for her husband.

Mu Zi Yan knows that this day will always come, this is also the time she deliberately calculated, the whole four years, how many things have happened, and these four years, but also changed the fate of how many people!

Thinking of the three years she spent locked up in the family temple in her previous life, and then looking at the end of this life out of her trajectory, she knew very well that there was no turning back from the open bow, there was no chance for her to turn back, and only by moving forward with a single-mindedness could she take her destiny into her own hands, rather than letting others drive her.

The next few days are very calm, there is not much disturbance, the only thing that makes the people happy is Mu Zi Yan gave the Empress Dowager’s birthday gift, the world’s unique phoenix robe.

No matter who leaked it out, but it pushed Mu Zi Yan to another high point.

Liang Wang Fu, Princess Qing Li looked at the secret letter in her hand and coldly looked at her men kneeling on the ground, “It seems that we have to do something nowadays.”

“Master, Mu Zi Yan is now unable to move, news has come from the Lord’s place.” The men whispered back.

“Hmph.” Princess Qing Li hadn’t expected that an inconspicuous Mu Zi Yan could be so capable, and, moreover, had alerted the Lord.

“Master, the Third Prince has made his move.” The men whispered back, “The Cool King here”

“Now that Zhong Xuan and I are on opposite sides, the Third Prince’s move seems to be to deal with the Liang King first, and I will definitely not let her have her way.” Princess Qing Li was silent for a moment, then said, “How is the situation outside?”

“News came from the Empress’s place that the court is unstable, King Lai supports the Crown Prince, and the Emperor’s place trusts the Crown Prince, so it seems that it’s not easy to make a change of the Crown Prince.” The men whispered back.

“Where is the Lord,” Princess Qing Li continued.

“The Lord only said that it’s not the right time now, and only told the master to act according to the plan.” The hand lowered his eyes and returned.

“En.” Princess Qing Li coldly snorted, “Zhong Xuan thought that the Lord trusted her, it seems that she is really overconfident.”

“My lord, the situation in Great Amazing nowadays, I’m afraid that it’s going to come to a head.” The subordinate whispered.

“Since it is to be, since the empress dowager’s birthday banquet, it has already begun.” Princess Qing Li coldly snorted, “The empress dowager has a deeper mind than the emperor, she held Mu Zi Yan up, clearly restraining the crown prince and the third prince, but in reality, it is to provoke the fight between the two sides, so that she can sit back and reap the benefits of the fisherman.”

“It’s just that the Empress Dowager is toward the Liang King or the Emperor” the men felt it was too strange.

“She is looking towards is another person, not the Liang King, nor the Emperor.” Princess Qing Li was silent for a long time, “Originally I thought it was the Fifth Prince, but now that the Fifth Prince is dead, it seems that the Empress Dowager is trying to use the Fifth Prince to try to cover up the fact that, no matter what, I can’t let the person behind the Empress Dowager come out, or else the Crown Prince and the Third Prince won’t be able to sit in the seat, and all of my hard work will be for naught.”

“Master, what about Zhong Xuan’s place,” the henchman asked carefully.

“She should know better than I do.” Princess Qing Li’s eyes moved slightly, “Zhong Xuan should be prepared.”

“My subordinate still doesn’t understand, will the emperor be as the empress dowager’s intention” the eyes of the subordinate flashed with doubt, only to feel that the situation in front of him was getting more and more complicated.

“No, the Lord that place has guessed one or two, the emperor is but in the use of the crown prince and the third prince, weighing the relationship between the court, as a check and balance of the cool king and the major families, the emperor’s ultimate goal is to weaken the power of the various places, and then the great power, after all, the ten great families have stood for hundreds of years, which involves too wide a range of connections, the emperor even if he is in charge of the power of life and death, but he also cannot help it .” Princess Qing Li stayed in Great Yan for more than ten years, since she understood the connection.

“Is the heir in the Emperor’s mind the same as the Empress Dowager” the henchman continued to ask.

“Consistent.” Princess Qing Li nodded in response, “Just who exactly is it”

“My lord, it seems that this is a set up by the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.” The henchman raised his eyes to look at Princess Qing Li before saying, “Since master was able to guess it, Zhong Xuan’s place must be clear as well”

“Clear.” Princess Qing Li coldly laughed, “She is very clear, so she will think of changing, and Jun Qianhao is just a pawn in her hands, just she is not clear, Jun Qianhao can have this position now, where will be at her mercy, in the end, she is just a cocoon.”

Princess Qing Li got up and marched to the window, “When the matter of Great Yan is over, it will also be the time for me to disappear.”

“Master,” the henchman raised his eyes to look at her back, only to think that the titular princess of the Northern Qing Kingdom

The princess of the hall, the shoulders of the body is too much with the heavy.

Inside the cool king’s study, jun qian lun stands respectfully in front of the cool king, “father, do you really want to do so”

“En.” The Cool King nodded, “The Third Prince will not stop.”

“Just so, in case he loses at that time” Jun Qian Mia did not expect that he would lay his hands on Jun Qian Hao.

“lluvia child, some things this king is now inconvenient to say with you, and so on later you will understand, just this matter this king does not want to involve you in, after some time, you will return to the appointment to go.” Liang Wang looked at him and said.

“Father.” Jun Qian Lun saw the Liang King say this, he was silent for a long time, “What does father want to do”

“lluvia child, listen to this king, this king can give you is not much, this king this life, want is not much, but is unable to aspire to, since things have come to the point of no return, why should this king and then hold back” cool king looked at him and said, “lluvia child, this king knows that these years you resent this king for You are too negligent cold, but even so, you are also the king’s son, is also the king’s only bloodline now, the king will not let you have any more flashbacks.”

“Father, my son is unfilial.” Jun Qian Lun hurriedly knelt down, he knew very well that this day had still come.

The cool king got up and marched to his front, helped him up, “Listen to this king, this matter you don’t need to care, this king knows that you and the Mu family that girl secretly have contact, if there is a day when this king really lost, this king will also keep you.”

“Father, son can’t” Jun Qian Lun’s eyes sank, whispered, “son will go along with the father, no matter what the father does.”

“No way.” The Cool King sighed, “This King has already lost a daughter, he can’t afford to lose you.”

Jun Qianlvia obviously froze, he is very clear, Ming An’s death, is the cool king single-handedly caused, perhaps this is early in the morning to calculate the bar, when the mother’s death is also his hand design, that is why he can not accept these facts.

King Liang raised his hand and patted his shoulder, “Go back, if you still recognize this king as your father, listen to this king’s arrangement and leave as early as possible.”

“Father, son,” Jun Qianlun wanted to stay, but his heart was still conflicted, he looked at the cool king in front of him, suddenly some strange.

The Cool King waved his hand and said, “Go down.”

“Yes.” Jun Qianlun hung his head and replied, turning around and retreating.

Not long after, will see Qing Li Princess into the inside, raised his eyes and looked at the cool king said, “the king and lluvia world son really is father and son love ah.”

“Since the princess knows, since she is clear, now the princess and this king are on the same boat, if something happens to this king, the princess can’t get out of it.” The cool king looked at her and said.

Princess Qing Li nodded her head and continued, “Does the cool king know that the success or failure of victory or defeat now depends on one person”

“This king knows, it’s just that that girl is afraid that she won’t help this king.” The Cool King laughed lowly.

“It seems that Your Highness has already guessed it.” Princess Qing Li continued, “Since that’s the case, it’s also clear to Your Highness that once she secretly assists the Third Prince, Your Highness will undoubtedly lose.”

“Defeat,” King Liang raised his voice and laughed, “This king has already been defeated once, only now, it is not this king who should be defeated.”

Princess Qing Li saw that King Liang was so confident, she also had some calculations in her mind, “Your Highness, don’t worry, as things stand now, there is no room for this palace to back out.”

“Good.” The Cool King smiled coldly, “Don’t worry, Princess.”

Inside the Third Prince’s residence, Jun Qianhao raised his eyes and looked at Zhong Xuan, “Have you made all the arrangements?”

“Don’t worry, Your Highness, everything is ready.” Zhong Xuan said softly.

“Good.” Jun Qianhao laughed coldly, “I hadn’t realized that this palace’s royal uncle was hiding so deeply.”

“It’s just that now that the Liang King still has Princess Qing Li in front of him, even though Your Highness’s plan is very well thought out, my concubine is still a little worried.” Zhong Xuan was very clear that success or failure was at stake, if she succeeded, she would completely bring down the Crown Prince, if she failed, the one who would die would be Jun Qianhao.

Jun Qianhao’s eyes narrowed slightly, “This matter must come to pass.”

“Yes.” Zhong Xuan answered with her eyes downcast, and then she said no more.

Inside the Marquis Mu’s residence, Mu Ziyan leaned back on the soft couch as Yun Fei suddenly dropped down and then said, “Here.”

She raised her hand to take it, and saw that it was a brocade box, and when she opened it, a secret letter was placed inside, as well as a token, her eyes slightly raised, “Who gave you this”

“Him.” Yun Fei said in a cold voice, snorted coldly, and then flew away.

After Mu Zi Yan opened it, after reading it, the corner of her mouth hooked up with a smile, “It was delivered in time.”

This is Chu Ye sent something, this token from the center to press the mechanism to open, is the military symbol, is can mobilize the capital west mountain military camp three hundred thousand people’s military symbol, Mu Zi Yan looked at the letter paper written content, although she does not know why Chu Ye will have the military symbol, but now is really useful.

She carefully put away the military talisman, and then she saw Yunxiang come and whisper, “Eldest Miss, a missive from the Cool King.”

“King Liang,” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes moved slightly, raised her hand to receive it, and after reading it, her eyes flashed a cold light, “I’ll go out for a while.”

“Eldest Miss, but do you want the slave girl to follow,” Yun Xiang hurriedly asked.

“It’s not necessary.” Mu Zi Yan spoke indifferently and entered the secret passage.

And so out of the secret passage, since it is to Jun Qianlun’s room, she did not see Jun Qianlun, but saw standing not far away from the cool king, she walked up, blessed body said, “Cheng An saw the king.”

“There is no need for county princess to be polite.” King Liang said as he turned to look at Mu Zi Yan.

“I don’t know what the cool king is looking for Cheng An to come for” Mu Zi Yan did not beat around the bush and asked directly.

“This king used the map to the county princess in exchange for lluvia’s life.” King Liang said handing her the brocade box in his hand.

“What does Your Highness mean by this” Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to look at him and asked in puzzlement.

“Your Highness knows in her heart that this king has given this map to your Highness, if one day, this king is unable to protect him, I still hope that your Highness will look at the map and protect his life.” King Liang looked at her and said.

Mu Zi Yan said with a low laugh.

Smoke laughed lowly, “Sung-ahn is just a woman, how can she be so capable?”

“What else does the county princess require, feel free to ask.” When King Liang saw that Mu Ziyan did not take it, he said in a low voice.

“The Liang King is straightforward, Cheng An indeed doesn’t understand.” Mu Zi Yan looked at him and said, wondering in her heart, what exactly does the Liang King have in mind

The cool king looked at her with a smile, and after a long period of silence, he slowly sat down, and straightaway picked up the tea on the several cases, and faintly opened his lips, “The secrets left by Marquis Mu, the town of Jiao Men, and that person, have already been shortchanged.”

Mu Zi Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly, then she sat down as well, “It seems that the Liang King knows who took it away.”
