Chapter 222 – Jun Qianhao Plots Rebellion (2 / 2)

“Sister Lu, Qian’er has grown quite a bit.” Hou Yi Yi said in a hurry to change the subject.

The title said.

“Sorry about that.” Lady Lu spoke with a smile.

“It’s also rare for Marquis Lei’s residence to be this lively.” Su Qinru raised her eyes to look at it and said with a smile.

“I inherited the Marquis position only a few days ago, and now it’s time to change my name to Marquis.” Niangzi Lu said with a smile.

“Yes, with the addition of joy to the mansion, it will be lively in the future.” Hou Yi Yi also followed.

Mu Zi Yan watched the crowd joking and laughing, and laughed along with them.

Not to mention how lively the wedding was, until the crowd made a fuss until midnight before they were happy to disperse.

The next morning, Lei Yichen brought Qi Xue’er to the Mu Hou House, since the tea to Qi’s, which makes Qi’s touched, and then left the two stayed in the house for a few more days, until Qi Xue’er returned to the door before letting the two go back.

So it will be noisy in January, this year Mu Zi Yan over some rush, but now can be a little bit of relief, will also be undistracted to cultivate martial arts to.

Dr. Jin purposely sent a message to her, asking her to make a trip back to the Divine Healer Sect.

“Eldest Miss, I’m afraid that the Third Prince won’t be able to come back during the Spring New Year.” Yun Xiang stood aside and said.

“Once Princess Qing Li dies, Zhong Xuan’s place is afraid that she will be emboldened and intensify her efforts.” Mu Zi Yan said in a cold voice.

“The Third Prince is secretly recruiting, this matter is also being carried out in secret, the Emperor and the Crown Prince are unaware of this.” Yun Xiang whispered back.

“En.” Mu Zi Yan faintly responded, “Leave this matter for now, and do not allow it to be revealed.”

“Yes.” Yunxiang whispered back, “Miss, cold adult that there is no movement, acting very low-key, Zhong Houfu was bombed last time, Zhong Houfu serious injuries are still recuperating, now is Zhong Shizi stewardship.”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan faintly responded, “Marquis Zhong’s residence will be handed over to Zhong Shi Zi.”

“Yes.” Yunxiang continued, “Eldest Miss, news came from Dr. Jin’s place, asking you to go back to the Divine Doctor Sect.”

“Good.” Mu Zi Yan nodded her head and responded, “In a few days, it’ll be the exit competition.”

“Eldest Miss, the slave girl will go prepare.” Yunxiang smiled and retreated.

Only after Mu Zi Yan instructed Yun Xiang did she go to the Divine Healer Sect.

When Dr. Jin saw her return, he whispered, “Smokey, I’m afraid your exit competition will be postponed.”

“Sect Master hasn’t returned yet,” Mu Zi Yan asked in a low voice.

“En.” Dr. Jin sighed, “Let’s wait until Senior Brother returns.”

“Yes.” Mu Zi Yan lowered her eyes and answered, not asking the reason, since she had nothing to do with him, why bother to care?

She stayed at the Divine Healer Sect for a few days and then left.

Akane seemed to be intentionally avoiding her and hadn’t shown up lately.

She had just returned to the Mu Hou Mansion when she received the decree of the Empress Dowager’s summoning, and after hastily changing her clothes, she entered the palace.

“Cheng An sees the Empress Dowager.” Mu Zi Yan respectfully saluted.

“Smoke girl, come here.” The Empress Dowager’s voice was a bit cold and vaguely angry.

Mu Zi Yan was obviously stunned, and after converging the doubts in the lower part of her eyes, she went forward with her eyes downcast.

After traveling to the Empress Dowager’s front, the Empress Dowager raised her hand and struck towards her, only to withdraw hard when she was about to touch her.

Mu Zi Yan hurriedly knelt down, but she didn’t know why the Empress Dowager was angry

The Empress Dowager looked at her coldly, sighed heavily and said in a low voice, “Smoke girl, where in the world there is a smooth ride, your situation today is not clear to yourself why you can not change your temperament”

Mu Zi Yan lowered her eyes and said, “Yes.”

“Smoke girl, everything is appropriate.” The Empress Dowager said, got up and left the hall.

Mu Zi Yan left the Yongshou Palace, her eyes flashing with doubt.

When she returned to Marquis Mu’s residence, Qi called her, “Smokey, the Empress Dowager summoned you to the palace, what’s the matter?”

“But it’s just a few words of idle chat.” Mu Zi Yan whispered, “Mother, it’s going to be the spring year soon, and the year-end is going to be in the palace, so it’s better to make preparations early.”

“Good.” Qi was relieved to see that she didn’t have any abnormalities.

When she returned to the Smoke Drop Courtyard, her eyes sank, “The Empress Dowager’s place has been clearly investigated”

“Eldest Miss, I just heard that Princess Yuehua made a trip to the palace.” Yunxiang said in a low voice.

“Has County Lord Lin’an returned,” Mu Zi Yan continued to ask.

“Not yet.” Ruek returned with downcast eyes.

“En.” Mu Zi Yan faintly answered, then spoke, “How is the twelfth prince recently”

“It’s been in the Princess’ Mansion.” Yunxiang whispered, “Eldest Miss, the Ping family has entered the capital.”

“It seems that this year’s year-end shall not be peaceful either.” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes flashed with a ghostly light as she said in a cold voice.

“Eldest Miss, the Crown Prince’s place, is to wait for the Third Prince to come back” Yun Xiang whispered, “Nowadays, the Crown Prince has cleared out almost all of the Third Prince’s people within the capital, even if the Third Prince comes back, I’m afraid that he won’t be able to deal with the Crown Prince.”

“Jun Qian Che is too hasty.” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes flashed with a ghostly light, “Jun Qian Mei is definitely not Jun Qian Che’s person, he could possibly be the Emperor’s person, it seems that the Emperor is going to make a move.”

“Your Majesty,” Rueka was getting more and more confused.

Mu Zi Yan sneered, “It’s time to have an end.”

Mu Ling Rui walked in at this moment, seeing her look of coldness, she asked in confusion, “Sister, but something happened in the palace”

“No.” Mu Zi Yan collected her coldness and rose to say, “Second brother, this day is off”

“En.” Mu Lingrui took out a pair of chess pieces from his arms, “This is something I purposely polished.”

“Oh.” Mu Zi Yan raised her hand to receive it, and after opening it and looking at it, she smiled lightly and said, “Many thanks to second brother.”

Mu Ling Rui was silent for a moment, then said, “Sister, in your heart can you consider me a relative”

“Naturally.” Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to look at him, “What does second brother mean by this”

“There are some things, do not carry them on your own, we are all worried about you.” Mu Ling Rui said and turned to leave.

Mu Zi Yan looked at Mu Ling Rui’s back, the corner of her mouth hooked up with a faint smile, picking up the

Ground smiled, then put the pieces away and turned her eyes to look at Yun Xiang, “See, it’s still good to be home.”

“Eldest Miss, are you anticipating something” Yun Xiang also felt that the recent atmosphere was a bit strange.

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes and looked into the distance, she had a premonition that Great Yan was going to truly change the sky.

Carboxylate, Jun Qianhao looked at his cronies kneeling on the ground and said in a low voice, “Are they all ready”

“Back to Your Highness, it’s all ready.” The crowd responded.

“Good, once the spring year is over, we will act.” Jun Qianhao said in a deep voice.

“Yes.” The crony answered and retreated.

Zhong Xuan came forward and slowly sat down, “Has Your Highness thought about it”

“En.” Jun Qianhao nodded his head and responded, “There is no longer a seat for me in the capital, and if I do go back, there is only a path to death.”

“Concubine will accompany Your Highness.” Zhong Xuan said delicately.

“Good.” Jun Qianhao took Zhong Xuan into his arms and lowered his head to kiss her delicate lips.

Years in addition to the palace banquet as scheduled, Mu Zi Yan since that day back to the palace has been staying in the house, these days, she would not be too flashy, the more low-key the better, and she is very clear, even so, there are countless pairs of eyes staring at her around.

Mu Zi Yan sat in the carriage, raising her eyes to look at Mu Zi Wu and Mu Ling Jue sitting beside her, she said with a light smile, “You can’t lose the rules after entering the palace later.”

“Yes.” The two little ones answered in unison, sitting in a very disciplined manner.

Yunxiang looked and smiled along with her, then said, “Eldest Miss, we’ll be arriving at the palace gates soon.”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan faintly answered, when the carriage stopped, she self first got off the carriage, and then carried the two little ones down.

Then he entered the palace along with Qi, and waited until he was inside the main hall, where each of them sat down.

Qi Xue’er walked up and said with a smile, “First cousin, I heard there will be a special game tonight.”

“Is that so” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes slightly raised, “Is it hard to believe that there are still people coming”

“I don’t know.” Qi Xue’er shook her head, “But it sounds like a novelty.”

The corner of Mu Zi Yan’s mouth slightly hooked, then said, “Cousin but you have to open your eyes to see.”

“Eh.” Zichelle padded over, “I’m a little panicked.”

“Don’t panic.” Mu Zi Yan said as she gently patted her hand.

“By the way, first cousin, I heard that Prince Ping and Eldest Miss Ping also came, in previous years they would not have come, how could they come this day” Qi Xue’er asked in puzzlement.

“I don’t know about this matter either.” Mu Zi Yan shook her head, “We’ll know later.”

“En.” Qi Xue’er nodded her head, and then she said no more.

After a while, they saw His Majesty and the Empress Dowager arrive, and all of them rose to salute.

“All level off.” The Emperor’s voice was loud and neutral, obviously very happy tonight.

As Mu Zi Yan sat down, she raised her eyes and saw the Crown Prince not far away, as well as the Crown Princess Prefecture.

However, looking at the look on County Lord Yu An’s face, her eyes flashed with suspicion, and she landed her gaze on Jun Qian Mei.

Jun Qian Mei happened to glance over, and the two of them met each other’s eyes as he nodded slightly towards her.

Mu Zi Yan didn’t avoid it, and returned the salute herself.

Qi Xuan looked over at her, puzzled.

Mu Zi Yan just smiled lightly, then hung her eyes without saying anything.

After a while, they saw the arrival of Princess Yuehua, but did not see the Lin’an Sheriff, Mu Ziyan’s eyes flashed through the doubt, it seems that she has not seen the Lin’an Sheriff for a long time, is it what happened?

Following beside Princess Yuehua was Jun Qianrui, who looked straight ahead and waited until he reached the center of the hall, saluting first before taking his seat.

Mu Zi Yan looked at Jun Qian Rui who hadn’t seen him for a long time, and his appearance opened up some more, and that look became resolute.

She raised her eyes to look at the not far away Ping Shi Zi, think it is also many years of absence, now see him look calm, did not have the slightest discomfort, she converge the doubts in her heart, only to hear the emperor said some congratulatory words, is nothing more than some of the country’s prosperity and people’s peace, singing words of praise and praise, and after that, they will be into the dancing girls, the great hall will be bustling with activity.

Su Qin Rou came over, “Sister, don’t you think the atmosphere is weird today”

“Weird,” Mu Zi Yan raised an eyebrow, “What did sister-in-law find out?”

“The Empress Dowager and Princess Yuehua, look like they are smiling, but I feel that they are angry.” Su Qinrou said and stole another glance.

Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly, “I don’t know either.”

“Hey.” Su Qinrou gently stroked her bulging stomach, then stopped speaking.

Mu Zi Yan also felt that it was a bit strange, but nowadays she couldn’t say anything freely, just enjoying the song and dance without looking away.

After a while, they heard the sound of a lute from not far away, high and intense, and it was very irritating to hear.

Mu Zi Yan followed the sound and looked over, then saw a woman barefoot up, dressed in a long skirt in the eyes, body charming, enchanting charm, face veiled, hand playing the lute, jade foot light point, flying up, as if the fairy scattered flowers, along with the falling petals together with the light landing, in the center of the main hall rotating up.

Mu Zi Yan’s eyes flashed with a ghostly light, this woman is not why she is here

The crowd all looked dumbfounded, especially the men, who now only felt that the woman was too seductive.

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to look at Jun Qian Mei, who was not far away, and he smiled at her rather meaningfully before dropping his eyes.

She secretly screamed that it was not good, and when she came back to her senses, she saw that the woman had already whirled around and landed in front of her, and the hand that was holding the lute suddenly pulled out a dagger and stabbed it straight at her.

She hastily stepped backward, since she was blocking Su Qinru behind her.

“Sister” Su Qinrou was shocked, then saw Mu Ziyan’s chest was stabbed by a dagger, blood gushed out like a tide, while that woman, in the midst of the chaos, sprinkled countless ground smoke inside the hall and disappeared in an instant.

Mu Zi Yan forced herself to endure the pain, turned her eyes to look at Su Qin Rou, and said in a low voice, “Sister-in-law, are you alright”

“Sister, you,” Su Qinrou where she could care less about herself.

Got himself, and in the heat of the moment, he only felt a pain in his belly.

Mu Zi Yan hurriedly pressed her pulse, “Sister-in-law, I’m fine, I’m wearing a heart protector.”

Only then did Su Qinrou calm down, raising her eyes to look at her, whispering, “Really”

“When it’s true.” Mu Zi Yan nodded her head and then said, “Brother, hurry over and help sister-in-law down first.”

“Good.” Mu Lingxuan was already beside her, carefully carrying her up.

“Come on man.” The Emperor shouted angrily.

“Empress Dowager,” came a shriek from not far away.

Mu Zi Yan now screamed bad, and quickly got up and stumbled up to go forward, his feet also followed the floating up, and waited until the Empress Dowager followed, then saw that the Empress Dowager was also hit by a knife.

Mu Zi Yan quickly said, “Hurry up and announce the eunuchs and put the Empress Dowager down.”

“Yes.” Sister Li on the side answered and hurriedly supported the Empress Dowager.

Mu Zi Yan said in a low voice, “Solely did not injure the heart and veins, but lost too much blood.”

“Hurry.” The Emperor said in a cold voice, “Mother.”

Mu Zi Yan tremblingly took out the gold sore medicine from her bosom to stop the Empress Dowager’s bleeding, and waited until the Imperial Doctor arrived before she caught her breath.

“First carry the Empress Dowager back to the palace.” Mu Zi Yan faintly said, and fainted at that moment.

“Cousin,” Qi Xuan rushed forward when he saw Mu Zi Yan fainting.

“Smoke.” Lei Yichen snatched a step ahead of Mu Zi Yan to help her stabilize, and solicited to announce two imperial physicians.

Qi had already gone with Mu Lingxuan to take care of Su Qinru first at the moment, so she didn’t know that Mu Ziyan had fainted.

After waiting for the eunuchs to diagnose and treat her, Mu Zi Yan was carried down.

And the emperor will not have the heart to continue the palace banquet, the people will also be dispersed.

Mu Zi Yan’s brows knit slightly as she woke up, and she saw Qi sitting on the side, as well as Mu Qing Yuan, who had just returned.

“Smokey.” Qi called out in a hurry.

“Mother.” Mu Zi Yan slowly got up, “Father.”

“You girl.” Mu Qinyuan sat down and looked at her carefully, “You’re injured like this and you’re still holding on.”

“Daughter may not be a problem, where is the Empress Dowager” Mu Zi Yan looked at the color of the sky and asked in a low voice.

“The Empress Dowager is unharmed, you scared me to death.” Qi held her hand, “It’s good that you’re unharmed now.”

“It doesn’t matter.” Mu Zi Yan relieved Qi and then said, “Mother, how long have I been out for”

“Two days.” Qi whispered, “Last year’s palace banquet was like this, how can it still be like this this year?”

“The Emperor has already ordered Senior Zhang to investigate the case thoroughly.” Qi whispered.

“Can’t find out.” Mu Zi Yan said faintly, “But who injured the Empress Dowager”

“What Smokey means is,” Mu Keng Yuan said as he looked at her.

“The Empress Dowager and her daughter were not injured by the same person, it should be someone else.” Mu Zi Yan said faintly.

“What,” Mu Lingxuan just walked in, and when he heard Mu Zi Yan’s words, he was also surprised.

“It seems that the one they want to kill this time is the Empress Dowager.” Mu Zi Yan whispered.

“Then should this matter be reported to the Emperor” Mu Qingyuan hesitated a little.

“The end depends on what has been found at Zhang Da’s place, and whether the Emperor really wants a thorough investigation.” Mu Zi Yan said faintly, “Father, Mother, this matter should not be publicized yet.”

“Good.” The two nodded in response.

Mu Zi Yan looked at Mu Ling Xuan, “How is sister-in-law”

“It doesn’t matter.” Mu Lingxuan stepped forward and looked at her, “You girl, she’s been worried about you for the past few days.”

“It’s good that sister-in-law is fine.” Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly and said, “Brother, be careful in the future.”

“I know.” Mu Lingxuan thought for a while and then said, “By the way, did you find out that that person would kill you”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan sighed, “But it’s still a bit late.”

“Solely your life is not in danger.” Mu Lingxuan whispered, “You rest well.”

“Good.” Mu Zi Yan nodded her head in response, and only after Mu Qing Yuan and Qi left did she breathe a sigh of relief.

“Eldest Miss, the slave girl didn’t protect you.” Yunxiang and Bi Yun came forward and knelt down in a hurry.

“What’s going on at the Crown Princess’s place” Mu Zi Yan looked at her and asked.

“Eldest Miss, the slave girl has already checked, County Princess Yu An is pregnant, but she did not let the Crown Prince know, but secretly drank the Fetal Slip Pill.” Yun Xiang whispered back.

“At the dinner party I saw that she did not look well, and it was true.” Mu Zi Yan leaned back on the bed couch, her eyes flashed with a ghostly light.

“Eldest Miss, the slave girl just got the news.” Yun Xiang said as she raised her eyes to look at her.

“What,” Mu Zi Yan asked faintly.

“The third prince that place has risen an army, with the reason of the crown prince’s lack of virtue, crusade against the crown prince, but also listed all kinds of bad deeds of the crown prince, from the carboxylic acid state to rise an army, and now the news has not yet reached the palace, I think that it is not more than two days.” Yunxiang looked at her and said.

“Indeed.” Mu Zi Yan sighed once more, “Jun Qian Hao is really determined to plot against the throne, it depends on his skill.”
