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

“Oh.” Mu Zi Yan faintly answered, in fact, after a person has experienced a love injury, the

It does take a long time to recover from an injury, and it is indeed difficult to be able to keep your mind at ease, but you tend to become cautious when dealing with your next relationship.

That’s how she is about relationships, and I’m afraid Ergo is the same way.

On the same day, Mrs. Marquis Su came to the Mu Marquis Mansion in a flurry of excitement, less than half a day’s time, the whole capital knows that the eldest young grandmother of the Mu Marquis Mansion is pregnant, making Su Qinru has been blushing for a few days.

Mu Lingxuan after the duty, then rushed back to Mu Houfu inch by inch to accompany her, Su Houfu look in the eyes, satisfied to the heart, the woman, which do not want their husbands on their own is pain in the heart of the tip, especially or like Mu Houfu, seems to be from a long time ago, Mu Houfu will not have the habit of concubines, such as the old Marquis of Mu, although married to the two wives, and did not have other concubines, and today’s Mu Houfu is the same, so plus the relationship with the State Ducal Palace, and many women can be moved to this heart. Therefore, coupled with the relationship between the Mu Marquis and the State House, as well as Mu Lingxuan’s character and appearance, a lot of women can be moved to this mind, and finally was Su Qinrou to grab the first.

Now coupled with Mu Zi Yan’s reputation in the capital, Mu Ling Rui, even if there were many previous bad deeds, I’m afraid that now also become a meat and potatoes.

Inside the State Duke’s residence, Mu Zi Yan and Mu Ling Rui stood in front of the State Duke’s old lady, the State Duke’s old lady raised her eyes to measure Mu Ling Rui, indeed less frivolous and impetuous in the past, temperamentally introverted and calm a lot, she turned her eyes to look at not far away from Qi Xue’er and Qi Yu’er, and then re-looked at Mu Zi Yan, beckoned towards Mu Zi Yan, “Smoke girl, come over.”

“Grandma.” Mu Zi Yan called out affectionately.

“Rather, I see that it’s again lovable.” Elderly Mrs. Guo Gong gently patted Mu Zi Yan’s hand, her face overflowing with love.

Mu Zi Yan nodded her head with a light smile, “Grandmother, your body looks like it’s getting healthier and healthier as well.”

“That’s also thanks to Dr. Jin.” Old Lady Guo Gong smiled and spoke.

“Yes.” Mu Zi Yan responded with a smile.

Elder Duchess of State then looked at Mu Ling Rui, “Rui Ge’er come here.”

Mu Lingrui answered with his eyes downcast and a bit nervous, “Yes, old madam.”

“Silly child.” Old Mrs. Guo Gong whispered, “How can you call me that?”

“Grandmother,” Mu Lingrui’s hand hidden in his sleeve clenched tightly before he opened his mouth to call out.

“Right.” Only then did Old Lady Guo Gong nod her head in satisfaction, “En, how is your body recovering these days”

“Thanks to Grandmother’s concern, the recovery is excellent.” Mu Ling Rui’s heart was beating wildly, and he lowered his eyes and said back.

“That’s good.” Old Lady Guo Gong nodded and responded, “I heard that Brother Xuan’s daughter-in-law is expecting.”

“Yes.” Mu Zi Yan smiled and responded, “Sister-in-law was thinking of coming over as well, but Mother said that after a few days, she would personally bring sister-in-law.”

“En.” Old Lady Guo Gong nodded gently, “I am happy since.”

Mu Ling Rui, however, always stood nervously, looking a bit rattled.

Mu Zi Yan is in the eyes, once for many reasons, he has never been this close to his grandmother, now on the contrary, some are not accustomed to it.

When she was out of Elder Duchess of State’s courtyard, Qi Xue’er and Qi Yu’er followed her, she turned her eyes to look at Qi Xue’er, “What has cousin been busy with these past few days”

“It’s all trivia.” Qi Xue’er smiled and spoke.

“Take the time to come over and sit down.” Mu Zi Yan said faintly.

“Eldest cousin, I want to go too.” Qi Yu’er hurriedly came over and said with a smile.

“Good.” Mu Zi Yan smiled and responded, “All come.”

“En.” Qi Yu’er nodded her head and responded, raising her eyes to glance at Mu Ling Rui who didn’t say a word, “Second cousin, how come you didn’t say anything”

Mu Zi Yan couldn’t help but laugh, then she saw that Mu Ling Rui hadn’t relaxed yet, she whispered, “Second cousin’s nature is so lively, I’m afraid that second brother is a bit overwhelmed.”

“Ah,” Qi Yu’er looked at Mu Ling Rui with some confusion and whispered, “I’m the one who scared second cousin”

“Huh.” Qi Xue’er couldn’t help but laugh as well.

“No.” Mu Ling Rui helplessly glanced at Mu Zi Yan before looking at Qi Yu’er, rarely revealing a gentle smile.

Mu Lingrui’s looks quite a few points of Confucianism, perhaps unloaded the youthful arrogance, but more than a few points of the book of the atmosphere, now look back to let a person can not open their eyes.

Qi Yu’er is just the age of love, plus just reached maturity, so for men is more than a few points of yearning, now see Mu Ling Rui so smile at her, but some uncomfortable up.

Mu Zi Yan faintly raised her eyebrows before saying, “Second brother, don’t scare your second cousin.”

“Sister,” Mu Ling Rui hurriedly bowed.

Qi Xue’er was amused, holding Mu Zi Yan’s hand, and the two of them laughed non-stop on the sidelines.

“What are you laughing at,” Qi Xuan walked over at this moment, with Lei Yichen at his side, and the two of them have gotten a lot closer since now.

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to look at Lei Yichen, who she hadn’t seen for a long time, and laughed lowly, “Righteous brother hasn’t returned to the mansion for a few days, so it’s”

“Smokey, I was wrong.” Lei Yichen was worried that Mu Zi Yan would say something snarky, so he hurriedly replied back.

Qi Xue’er stood in place in embarrassment, and Mu Zi Yan let out a low laugh, “I won’t say anything.”

“If cousin says any more, I’m afraid that sister will have to turn her head and leave.” Qi Xuan said with a smile.

“See, it wasn’t me who said that.” Mu Zi Yan raised her eyebrows and winked at Qi Xuan.

Qi Xuan smiled lightly and lowered his eyes, so all of them joked and laughed for a while longer before leaving the State Duke’s Mansion.

In the blink of an eye, it was late fall, and Jun Qianhao had arrived in Carboxylate, while the capital city had a different scene.

The Empress Dowager has stayed in the Palace of Eternal Life since the cool king went, and has never come out again, even for the Emperor’s birthday.

Mu Zi Yan understood that the Empress Dowager really loved the Liang King, but many things could not be undone.

“Eldest Miss, the Crown Prince’s residence has placed a post.” Yunxiang came forward and handed her the post.

“Crown Princess,” Mu Zi Yan remembered Yu An County Princess, that day

County, that day the wedding went smoothly, did not appear any accidents, and these days, the crown prince is even more complacent, but also took the opportunity to the third prince’s party to clean up a bit again.

The emperor did not object, but let the crown prince do it, as if he wanted to hand over the power to the crown prince.

Mu Zi Yan knew that this was just a blindfold, but she just didn’t know why the Crown Princess had invited her to go

“Eldest Miss, Princess Qing Li is still staying in the capital today, and is now living within the palace.” Yunxiang said in a low voice.

“En.” Mu Zi Yan faintly responded, “She can’t afford to make any waves nowadays.”

“She originally helped the Cool King, which is equivalent to being on the Crown Prince’s side.” Yunxiang continued, “But it seems that the Crown Prince is very cold towards her.”

“That’s natural.” Mu Zi Yan said faintly, “The Crown Prince is not stupid, who is sincere and who is not, can he not see it.”

“That’s true.” Yunxiang answered with downcast eyes, then spoke, “Eldest Miss, are you going to”

“Since I am going.” Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly, “This Yu An county princess is an interesting one.”

“Then the slave girl will go and prepare.” Yunxiang said and retreated.

Mu Zi Yan turned her eyes to look at Jun Qian Rui who had almost recovered and said in a low voice, “Rui’er should also return to the Princess’ residence.”

“En.” Jun Qian Rui was unwilling to do so, but he also knew that this matter was not up to him.

Yun Fei fell at this time, his face looked bad.

Mu Zi Yan said faintly, “Look at being bullied again.”

“No.” Yun Fei sat down, then handed her a scroll, “For you.”

“Oh.” Mu Zi Yan nodded and answered, then took it over, after unfolding it, it was her portrait, but looking at the painting work, she knew that it was from someone’s hand.

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyebrows, “What is he sending this for”

“I don’t know.” Yun Fei shook his head, then flew away.

Mu Zi Yan carefully looked at it, then collected it and put it in a box, which were all given to him by Chu Ye these days.

Jun Qian Rui raised his eyes to look at her, then stepped forward and tugged on her sleeve, “Sister Cheng An, I will miss you.”

“Me too.” Mu Zi Yan smiled and nodded, “Rui’er is in the Princess’s residence, if something happens then send me a message.”

“En.” Jun Qian Rui nodded and responded, “This is for you.”

“Ah,” Mu Zi Yan was stunned when she saw Jun Qian Rui shove a wooden statue at her.

She looked down and smiled lightly, “It’s so similar.”

“I’ll carve a better one later.” Jun Qian Rui tilted his head and smiled brightly at her.

“Good.” Mu Zi Yan knew that he secretly carved a wooden statue of Concubine Yun and carried it in his arms to look at it every day, she raised her hand and gently stroked his cheek, “Rui’er, when you grow up and become strong, you will be able to protect the people you want to protect.”

“Mother Concubine has said as much.” Jun Qian Rui smiled and answered.

Inside the Prince’s residence.

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to look at the Yu An County Lord in front of her, and said with a light smile, “What is it that the Crown Princess has called me here for?”

“Sheriff Lord is quick to speak.” Sheriff Lord Yu’an smiled gently, “It is not that I invited you, but there is someone who entrusted me.”

“I think it should be the king.” Mu Zi Yan said faintly.

“Precisely.” County Lord Yu An laughed, and then she saw King Qing Jun Qian Mei slowly step out.

Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly and said, “If Your Highness wants to invite me, just give me an invitation, why go through all this trouble”

“According to the County Lord’s temperament, I’m afraid that even if this king had made a post, the County Lord would not come.” Jun Qian Mei was self-aware.

Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly and said, “Your Highness is joking, Your Highness has an appointment, how can I not come”

“Rather, it is this king who has been overly concerned.” Jun Qian Mei said with downcast eyes.

Mu Zi Yan was no longer polite, but asked lightly, “I don’t know what Your Highness is doing by going to such great lengths to invite me here”

“Does county princess have any plans to leave the capital in the near future” Jun Qian Mei looked at her and asked.

“No.” Mu Zi Yan whispered.

“This king heard that the hot springs manor of the Chu gentleman and the county princess deep friendship, many years ago there has been a side, just a few days ago this king went to the hot springs manor, but did not see him, I do not know the county princess can know his whereabouts,” Junqian Mou looked at her and asked.

“Duke Chu has always been accustomed to being away from home, and I haven’t seen him for many hours.” Mu Zi Yan said indifferently.

“I see.” Jun Qian Mei nodded and responded, “It seems that wanting to see him has been difficult since.”

“Why does the king want to see him,” Mu Zi Yan asked suspiciously.

“It is for the matter of the family honors.” Jun Qian Mei smiled and spoke.

“Old Prince,” Mu Zi Yan whispered.

“Precisely.” Jun Qian Mei continued, “At that time, before my family father died, he left his last words, and this king was not present at that time, but instead told Prince Chu about the last words.”

“The old prince is acquainted with Duke Chu,” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes flashed with surprise, obviously unaware of this matter.

“Precisely.” Jun Qian Mei nodded in response.

“Why did the king come looking today” Mu Zi Yan thought about how Jun Qian Mei had been away for six years and had not mentioned it in those six years.

“This is also the family father’s last words, when the family father passed away, he told this king to leave the capital, not to be summoned to enter the capital, not to mention not to inquire about any news within the capital.” Jun Qian Mei said bluntly.

“So it is.” Mu Zi Yan faintly responded, “It’s just that I also don’t know where Duke Chu is now, I think he also knows that the prince has returned to the capital, if it’s time to meet, he will meet.”

“What County Lord said has rather made this king a lot more relieved.” Jun Qian Mei said arching her hand, “I hope that County Lord will forgive me for being abrupt today.”

“Your Highness has a hard time thinking so.” Mu Zi Yan looked at County Lord Yu An’s expression, and then at Jun Qian Mei, in these six years, did Jun Qian Mei not leave the capital by the emperor’s decree

“This matter about the death of the family father, only now after six years, all the clues are also broken, now the only clue will be the family father back then with the

What the family honors said with Prince Chu back then.” Jun Qian Mei looked at Mu Zi Yan and said, “But nowadays, we can only wait to see Mr. Chu to know what happened back then.”

“It can only be so.” Mu Zi Yan said in a low voice, then she got up and left the Crown Prince’s residence.

Just outside the mansion, they saw Jun Qian Che coming, and when he saw her come out, his eyes flashed with doubt.

County Lord Yu An stood to the side and slowly stepped forward to salute, “Your Highness, Your Concubine.”

“County Lord Cheng’an is a rare guest.” Jun Qian Che said as he looked at Mu Zi Yan with a smile.

Mu Zi Yan lowered her eyes and said, “Cheng An has met the Crown Prince.”

“Your Highness, it was my concubine who invited County Lord to come, my concubine has been away from the capital for too long, and now that I’ve just returned, I was curious to learn of County Lord’s reputation, so I invited her to come and have a small sit.” County Lord Yu An said with downcast eyes.

“Consort Ai should be so.” Jun Qian Che was quite satisfied with County Lord Yu An’s such a sensible move, raising his eyes to look at Mu Zi Yan, the annihilated mind in his heart rekindled.

Where could Mu Zi Yan not see Jun Qian Che’s mind, she said with her eyes downcast, “Cheng An excuses himself.”

With that, she blessed herself slightly and proceeded to get into the carriage.

Jun Qian Che watched Mu Zi Yan leave and turned around to hold County Lord Yu An’s hand as they entered the Crown Prince’s Mansion together.

Inside the carriage, Bi Yun coldly snorted, “Eldest Miss, you are not seeing the look on the Crown Prince’s face as he stares at you.”

Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly, “He won’t be able to be complacent for a few days.”

“Eldest Miss, there is something strange about this King Qing.” Yun Xiang whispered, “Wanting to invite you, why make it so mysterious”

“It is somewhat strange.” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes flashed with a ghostly light, it seemed that there was indeed something strange about old King Qing’s death.

Mu Zi Yan went back to the Mu Hou Mansion, and Lei Yi Chen was waiting for her.

“Righteous brother.” Mu Zi Yan stepped forward and blessed himself.

“Smokey, I heard that you went to the Crown Prince’s residence” Lei Yichen asked as he looked at her.

“Just returned.” Mu Zi Yan whispered, “It’s because King Qing wants to see me.”

“King Qing,” Lei Yichen’s eyes narrowed slightly, and after a moment of silence, he said, “What is he looking for you to do? Why is he so mysterious?”

“Just asking me about Duke Chu’s whereabouts.” Mu Zi Yan said indifferently.

“Duke Chu” Lei Yichen pondered for a long time, “What is he seeking Duke Chu for”

“For the matter of Old King Qing.” Mu Zi Yan looked at him and said, “Righteous brother, Old King Qing’s death doesn’t seem simple.”

“It was indeed a bit sudden at first.” Lei Yichen said indifferently, “But now that I think about it, it does seem a bit strange.”

“Righteous brother but he knows something” Mu Zi Yan looked at Lei Yi Chen and asked.

“This matter should be related to the Empress.” Lei Yichen continued, “When old King Qing died back then, father even sighed for a long time after hearing the news.”

“Marquis may have said something” Mu Zi Yan thought that this matter is afraid of something else.

“He said that death would be the end of it.” Lei Yichen thought carefully, turned his eyes to look at her and said, “At that time, father anticipated that Lei Houfu would have this day, right?”

Mu Zi Yan lowered her eyes and said, “It seems that this matter does have something to do with the Empress, just what exactly is it”

“Smokey, you should not interfere in this matter.” Lei Yichen continued, “If it really has something to do with the Empress, now that the Cool King is also dead, this matter will be over.”

“No, but it’s just the beginning of the killing.” Mu Zi Yan shook her head, “Looks like I need to reorganize.”

“Reason what,” Lei Yichen was a little confused as to the meaning of Mu Zi Yan’s words.

“Righteous brother, you need to be more careful at your place as well, if the Emperor intends to test the waters, you should pretend that you don’t know anything.” Mu Zi Yan looked at him and said.

“Good.” Lei Yichen nodded, “I’ll be careful, it’s not for me alone nowadays.”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan then said, “Not to mention these, how are the wedding preparations going?”

“It’s all pretty much the same.” Lei Yichen said with a smile, “The righteous mother has been running the show, so I’ve been a lot more relaxed instead.”

“That’s right, it will surely be lively and bustling at that time.” Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly and said, “Righteous brother’s wedding robe, from what cousin said, it’s almost ready.”

“Thinking about it like this, it’s really soon.” Lei Yichen had never thought that he would have such a chance, and remembering what had happened over the years, he was now secretly glad that he was able to meet Mu Ziyan and such a group of friends.
