Chapter 219 – Taking possession (Second Shift) (1 / 2)

Inside the Mu Marquis Mansion, Mu Zi Yan was sitting in the gazebo, opposite of her sat Mu Ling Rui.

“Second brother, the one I saw at the Crown Prince’s residence this night was indeed second sister.” Mu Zi Yan said bluntly.

“En.” Mu Lingrui answered in a low voice.

“Second brother, I don’t feel guilty about treating her like this.” Mu Zi Yan said frankly.

“En.” Mu Lingrui also just faintly answered.

“Second brother can blame me” Mu Zi Yan knew that this matter would be exposed one day, and that she was deliberately indulging Mu Zi Ruoxi, hence the sudden appearance of this scene tonight.

Mu Ling Rui raised his eyes and looked at her, “Why do you complain”

“After all, she is Second Brother’s own sister.” Mu Zi Yan said calmly.

“She is to blame and can’t blame others, people should always pay for their own stupidity.” Mu Ling Rui looked at her and said, “Sister, I know her nature best, even if she is allowed to live, it will only bring endless trouble, and in the end, she will also end up like this, or even more so, now this is also considered a relief.”

“Second brother, did you know about this early in the morning” Mu Zi Yan asked in a low voice.

“Know what,” Mu Lingrui laughed lightly, “I don’t know anything, I only know that I am a member of the Mu family, and you are my family.”

Mu Zi Yan then stopped talking, it was useless to say more.

After Mu Ling Rui left, Mu Zi Yan went back to the house, Yun Xiang came up and reported in a low voice, “Eldest Miss, Second Miss’s body”

“Burn it.” Mu Zi Yan said in a cold voice.

“Yes.” Yunxiang answered with her head hanging down, and then she retreated.

Jun Qian Rui had not yet rested, and was now lying on the bed looking at her as she came in, saying with a smile, “Sister Cheng An, can you accompany me this day”

“Good.” Mu Zi Yan readily answered.

She knew that although today was the Crown Prince’s wedding, it was also Consort Yun’s birthday.

The next day, Mu Zi Yan woke up early in the morning, lifting her eyes to look at Jun Qian Rui with red eyes, she must have dreamt of something last night in her sleep, she lifted her hand to hold him in her arms and gently patted his back.

Jun Qian Rui slowly opened his eyes, raised them to look at her, and softly said, “Sister Cheng An, I miss Mother Consort.”

“Rui’er is going to take a look” Mu Zi Yan asked in a low voice.

“It is not possible to go now.” Jun Qian Rui shook his head and then buried his head in her arms without a word.

Mu Zi Yan’s eyes flashed a touch of gloom, just quietly letting his thoughts spread at the moment, only to feel that this child lived too carefully and was too strong and understanding.

Not long after, she waited until Jun Qian Rui’s mood had eased before she got up, and so another day passed peacefully.

Mu Zi Yan knows that the Crown Prince’s wedding is just the beginning of his journey towards death, and that many things have already started secretly without him realizing it, and Jun Qian Hao has never been a soft-hearted person.

“Eldest Miss, there is movement.” Yun Xiang said and handed her the secret letter.

Mu Zi Yan raised her hand to receive it, and after looking at it faintly, she laughed lowly and said, “The action is really fast.”

“I think it was plotted early on, and now it’s waiting for the best time.” Yun Xiang whispered.

“Yes, the best time.” Mu Zi Yan was silent for a moment, “However, the Emperor is afraid that he won’t let him have his way easily.”

“What Missy means is,” Rue Xiang said as she looked up at her.

“The death of the cool king, how could the emperor not understand the stakes he is now since he is not willing to break this balance, but the third prince favored to break it with his own hands, the emperor will also think of ways to pull this balance back again.” Mu Zi Yan said faintly.

“In the absence of King Liang, King Qing is the other key to maintaining the balance,” Yun Xiang said following Mu Zi Yan’s words.

“Not bad.” Mu Zi Yan nodded her head and responded, raising her eyes to look at Yun Xiang and said with a smile, “I didn’t realize that you, this girl, is more and more resourceful nowadays.”

“Eldest Miss is making fun of the slave girl again.” Yun Xiang said with downcast eyes, and then retreated.

Sure enough, after all of Jun Qianhao’s plans had been prepared and before he was about to make his move, the Emperor pulled King Qing up to the heights of power and entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, a favor no less than that of the recently deceased King Liang.

And let Jun Qianhao more unexpected is that the emperor even sent him out, let him out of the capital, to the far north of the desolate place to go to the front of the training, for a period of one year.

Jun Qianhao had no choice but to accept the decree, and when he returned to the Third Prince’s Mansion, his entire person was permeated with a coldness he had never felt before.

Zhong Xuan seemed to anticipate that the Emperor would make this move, so she stepped forward and softly said, “Your Highness, this might be a good opportunity.”

“Opportunity” Jun Qianhao raised his eyes to look at her, “I have been transferred out of the capital, although the Liang King is dead, but now the Crown Prince has another Qing King in front of him, how do I start”

Zhong Xuan smiled and said, “This land in the extreme north, although it’s in a desolate location, it’s nevertheless the best place to canton troops.”

“What you mean is,” Jun Qianhao’s eyes narrowed slightly, and after a long period of silence, he finally understood what she meant, “You want this Palace to”

“Not bad.” Zhong Xuan continued, “Now that His Highness has been transferred, the capital has become the crown prince’s world, he is complacent, when people are complacent, they will make mistakes, over time, they will be driven by power, at that time, they will gradually lose the hearts of the people, while His Highness has enough leverage, to deal with the crown prince, is it not as easy as a slap in the face.”

“This palace will think about it.” It wasn’t that Jun Qianhao didn’t have such an intention, but it was too dangerous, and if he lost, wouldn’t he end up like the Cool King

Jun Qian Hao was silent for a long time, Zhong Xuan saw that he was hesitating, she continued, “Set yourself up as king, divide the Great Amazing into two kingdoms, Your Highness ascends to the throne as emperor, and then builds up the new country, builds up his strength, and then finally takes down the whole of the Great Amazing in one fell swoop, since ancient times, as long as Your Highness becomes the emperor, who else will dare to not bow down to Your Highness”

Jun Qian Hao’s eyes flashed with a ghostly light, he was still a little unwilling, and this unwillingness came from Mu Zi Yan, that woman, even if he had to go there, he would still have to bring her there.

Zhong Xuan looks.

Go.

Zhong Xuan could see Jun Qian Hao’s mind, she hooked her lips and smiled lightly, “Your Highness, as long as you become a great man, it’s only a matter of time before the kind of women in this world won’t give in to you.”

Jun Qianhao waved his hand and said, “You stand down.”

“Yes.” Zhong Xuan lowered her eyes and answered, things have come to this, she does not need to persuade each other, she is very clear about Jun Qianhao’s ambition, and even more so, she understands that in today’s dynastic situation, he can’t stay, after all, Jun Qianhao’s ability nowadays can’t be compared to that of the Emperor.

“Master, Lord Leng wants to see you.” The henchman dropped his head and returned.

“En.” Zhong Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly as she turned around and left from the secret passage.

When she arrived at the Leng mansion, she came out from the secret passage, it was Leng Hanfeng’s study, she walked up, she saw that person’s back to her, straight back, wide brocade robe, waist girded with a jade belt, tall and magnificent, handsome and extraordinary.

Undoubtedly, Leng Hanfeng had his unique charms, and the reason why Zhong Xuan had looked at him in the first place was also because of his deep heart, and the fact that he was just as sinister as she was.

“Shouldn’t you tell me about last night’s events,” Zhong Xuan said as she looked at him with a smile.

Leng Hanfeng slowly turned around and did not sit down, but instead looked at her coldly, “The Third Prince was transferred out, so you should have followed along.”

“En.” Zhong Xuan nodded her head and responded, “In that case, there’s no need to stir you up.”

“What good thing,” Leng Hanfeng’s deep eyes sunk slightly as he asked in a cold voice.

“Cheng An County Lord, how noble identity, the Divine Doctor’s disciple, medical skill is needless to say, and has the State Duke’s Office as a backing, even more favored by the Empress Dowager, even the Yuehua Princess and the Lin’an County Lord are very close to her, such a woman, the world is afraid that there will be no one who will not be moved.” Zhong Xuan poured a cup of hot tea, gently sipped, raised his eyes and looked at Leng Hanfeng, “Do you dare to say that since there has been no heart.”

“I moved.” Leng Hanfeng couldn’t deny that this feeling was marvelous, from the first moment he saw her, there was always a voice inside reminding him that Mu Ziyan was his woman and could only be his.

And, as time passed, the sound grew stronger and stronger, and so did his desire to possess her.

Zhong Xuan’s eyes flashed with a ghostly light as she sneered, “Yeah, you moved too, so what does that make me”

Leng Hanfeng looked straight at her, “What am I to you”

“You,” Zhong Xuan slowly got up and walked up to him, her slender fingers gently stroked across his cold face before landing on his chest and gently nodding, “What do you say”

Leng Hanfeng took a step backward and said in a cold voice, “You and I are merely having our own needs.”

“Not bad.” Zhong Xuan couldn’t deny that she was moved by Leng Hanfeng, it was a mind that wanted to completely dominate him, she couldn’t get him, and she definitely wouldn’t cheapen Mu Ziyan.

She stepped forward and approached a step closer, “Then think about it, in Mu Zi Yan’s heart, what do you count as”

Leng Hanfeng laughed coldly, “Sooner or later, she will be mine.”

“Leng Hanfeng, you’re nothing more than a dog under the Third Prince nowadays, if he can’t get it, what qualifications do you think you have to be able to get it” Zhong Xuan looked at him coldly, but she didn’t know where he got this confidence from.

“What about you,” Leng Hanfeng raised his hand and squeezed her wrist, “I’m afraid you’re not even as good as a dog.”

Zhong Xuan raised her voice and laughed lowly, “That’s why you and I are compatible.”

“Alright, I didn’t seek you out to talk about this.” Leng Hanfeng let go of her, but there was no interest in teasing with her any more, for him, some women can play along, some women can take advantage of each other, but there is only one person, he only wants to take possession of her, to love her, even if he breaks her wings, he wants to confine her firmly to his side.

When Zhong Xuan saw him treating himself so coldly, her eyes flashed an evil sneer as she slowly sat back again and continued, “Then what do you want to say”

“The Third Prince is traveling to the Far North this time, and even though I’m in the capital, I’m afraid that it will be difficult for me to be reused.” Leng Hanfeng sat down and said.

“En.” Zhong Xuan nodded in response.

“Therefore, it is better for you and I to have less contact with each other during this period of time.” Leng Hanfeng said indifferently, “I’ve been targeted.”

“Good.” Zhong Xuan responded cheerfully, then got up, “Leng Hanfeng, you have to remember that you were mine the day you and I met, don’t force my hand.”

Leng Hanfeng laughed coldly, “That depends on your skills.”

Zhong Xuan hooked a smile on the occasion of coldness and turned to leave the study.

Leng Hanfeng hung his eyes without saying anything, in his opinion, such a woman like Zhong Xuan could never enter his heart, and could only be used.

Three days later, Jun Qianhao took the Third Imperial Consort and Zhong Xuan with him to leave the capital and head to the Carboxylate State in the far north.

Mu Zi Yan was currently playing chess with Mu Ling Rui when Yun Xiang came to report, “Eldest Miss, the Third Prince has left the capital.”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan faintly responded, “It seems that the capital will be able to live in peace for some more time.”

“Ansheng,” Mu Lingrui raised his eyes to look at her, “Sister, I’m afraid that the crown prince will become more and more arrogant.”

“The more complacent you are, the better.” Mu Zi Yan said faintly, seemingly remembering something, “I just want to know what’s on the Emperor’s mind.”

“In fact, this is nothing more than a set up by the Emperor early on.” Mu Ling Rui looked at her and said, “The Liang King is not what the Emperor wants to eliminate.”

“Rather.” Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly, “I did not expect Second Brother to be able to see so thoroughly.”

“In fact, no matter how the clouds and winds change in the capital, out of the capital, there is no doubt that you will not be able to break out into a world,” Mu Ling Rui said as he looked at her.

“What second brother said is very true.” Mu Zi Yan smiled and answered, knowing the meaning of Mu Ling Rui’s words.

Although they were watching chess, these two were nevertheless playing chess with two minds, chatting idly on one side and playing on the other.

Mu Lingxuan walked in with a smile, looked at the two people in front of him and said in a warm voice, “It’s cozy, and now my sister has a confidant brother in the second brother, and in turn, I’m the pro

Rather forgetting me, my own brother.”

“Brother just stay with sister-in-law.” Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes and cast a sidelong glance at Su Qin Rou who had just entered the room and said.

Su Qin Rou’s red face, raised her eyes to look at Mu Zi Yan, then shyly stood at Mu Ling Xuan’s side.

“What’s going on here” Mu Zi Yan saw Su Qin Rou did not open her mouth this day, looked a little out of place, then asked with a smile.

“Sister can’t see” Mu Lingxuan turned around and helped Su Qinrou to sit down, that action since is careful.

Mu Zi Yan pointed at Mu Ling Xuan and said, “Brother, you come.”

“Good.” Mu Lingxuan smiled and answered, then he sat down, raised his eyes to look at the chess game in front of him, then looked at Mu Lingrui, “Second brother, I didn’t realize that you are also an expert in the game.”

Mu Lingrui laughed lightly, “I don’t dare to show off in front of big brother.”

“It seems that I will have to spar with Second Brother in the future.” Mu Lingxuan said with a smile, then he held the white disc in his hand and dropped it after a few moments of contemplation.

Mu Ling Rui then did not say anything more, but played seriously with Mu Ling Xuan.

Mu Zi Yan came forward and sat down, raising her hand to take Su Qin Rou’s pulse, and then sighed after putting it down, “It seems that my sister is going to congratulate my brother and sister-in-law.”

“It’s just that these two days were uncomfortable, thinking that that day had receded for a few days, so I came to find you.” Su Qin Rou gently stroked over her small abdomen, her eyes overflowing with compassion.

Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly and said, “It is indeed a happy pulse.”

Mu Lingxuan’s hand gave a slight lurch, turned his eyes to Su Qinru and said in a low voice, “Mother doesn’t know yet.”

“Since I have to go to say goodbye.” Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes and handed Bi Yun a wink.

Bi Yun nodded, then hurried out of the house, all the way to the Jiyueyuan with joy.

Qi had just coaxed Mu Ling Jue and Mu Zi Wu to rest when she saw Bi Yun come panting.

Sister Cui laughed lowly and said, “You girl, you’ve been following Missy, why are you so flustered today?”

“The slave girl is here to say goodbye.” Bi Yun hurriedly came forward to attach her ear to Sister Cui.

When Sister Cui heard this, she was also happy, and hurriedly said, “Happiness, happiness, no wonder you girls are so unsteady, I’m all flustered now.”

Bi Yun laughed lowly, “Sister Cui, the slave girl is here to ask for a reward.”

“Yes, yes, it’s time for a reward.” Sister Cui answered with a smile, then raised the curtain and entered the inner room to tell Qi the news.

Qi’s hearing, also since the joy, even got up quickly and could not care less, they personally went to the smoke fall courtyard, the whole house since they have got the reward silver.

Mu Zi Yan turned his eyes to look at Mu Ling Xuan at this moment is still calm and relaxed with Mu Ling Rui chess, where there is the joy of a first-time father, could not help but raise his eyebrows and said, only the big brother is too able to pretend.

Mu Lingxuan where not happy, not nervous, but just now he can not show too much, lest he scare Su Qinrou.

Su Qinrou smiled and let Qi hold her hand, whispered, “These days you will be well nourished, I let Cui Ma’am go over to wait on you, must give birth to a white and fat grandson.”

Mu Zi Yan laughed lightly, “Mother, how can you be more nervous than your own life.”

“You girl, you don’t understand mother’s mind, this is the first child, and it’s still the Mu family’s eldest grandson, how can I not be nervous” Qi looked at Su Qinru carefully, “Go and pass this news to the Marquis Su as well.”

“Yes.” Sister Cui knew that Madam was happy about this, so she hurriedly went to order.

Mu Zi Yan sat on the side and said, “Sister-in-law, I see that you’d better hurry back and lie down, so that Mother can rest assured.”

“Nowadays it’s not tiring.” Su Qinrou said as she looked at her.

“Since it is necessary to properly nourish it.” Qi said at this time, “Let their siblings go about their business, let’s say some personal words between us.”

“En.” Su Qinruo meekly responded and left along with Qi.

When Su Qinruo left, Mu Zi Yan walked up, but did not open her mouth, then she saw that Mu Lingxuan’s hand that was pinching Bai Zi was still vaguely trembling, she let out a low laugh and looked at herself.

Mu Ling Rui saw Mu Zi Yan this is into the heart, so he did not say anything, but continued to play the game, obviously Mu Ling Xuan is a little distracted, this game lost to Mu Ling Rui.

Mu Lingxuan said in a warm voice, “I will definitely play another game with second brother again some other day.”

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes and looked at him, “Brother, not going back yet”

“Yes yes yes.” Mu Lingxuan finally couldn’t help himself and got up and left with his feet in the air.

Mu Zi Yan smiled and said, “Look, the walk is really eager, and the fit was too much.”

“Sister became intentional.” Mu Lingrui laughed lowly.

“Hmph.” Mu Zi Yan raised her eyebrows, then looked at Mu Ling Rui, “Second brother, do you have a woman you like”

“No.” Mu Lingrui shook his head.

Mu Zi Yan thought carefully, “What kind does second brother like”

“Sister this is to pull the strings to protect the matchmaker” Mu Ling Rui lowly laughed, “My reputation is not good, I’m afraid that no woman will dare to marry me.”

“Who said that,” Mu Zi Yan raised her eyebrows, “In the future when there is a favorable one, you can tell me.”

Mu Ling Rui nodded, “In that case, what about sister”

“I,” Muzzy Smoke mused for a moment, “don’t have one.”

“When you really don’t,” Mu Ling Rui raised his eyebrows and said, “I do think that my first cousin is extremely good to my sister.”

“Ah,” Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to look at him and spoke with a smile, “I am as much kin to my cousin as I am to my second brother.”

“Loved ones,” Mu Lingrui nodded slightly, “Not bad, loved ones.”

“Yes.” Mu Zi Yan was silent for a moment, “By the way, I haven’t visited grandmother for a long time, why don’t second brother accompany me tomorrow”

“Good.” Mu Lingrui was one who rarely entered the State Duke’s Mansion, but every time he went forward, he would be nervous.

Mu Zi Yan smiled and said, “Second brother, I think second cousin is quite good.”

“Nonsense again.” Mu Lingrui laughed lowly, “Nowadays I don’t have the heart for it.”
