Chapter 224 – The Crown Prince Forces the Palace (1 / 2)

“Since they’re here, let them stay in peace.” Qi whispered.

“Yes, if there is any shortage, it will be made up since.” Mu Qingyuan followed suit.

Mu Zi Yan said with a light smile, “Father, mother, leave this matter to my daughter, sister-in-law is double-bodied, so don’t get tired, I can wait to see my nephew.”

Qi nodded, “If you’re willing to open up, go ahead and do so.”

Mu Qingyuan looked at her, seemingly thinking of something, and then said, “Do you know what they came for”

“I don’t know.” Mu Zi Yan shook her head, “But cousin’s complexion looks bad.”

“Then let’s wait until they have rested.” Mu Qingyuan said indifferently.

“Yes.” Mu Zi Yan nodded her head and replied, then she left the Jiyue Courtyard.

When she returned to Smokefall Courtyard, Bi Yun came forward and reported, “Eldest Miss, cousin young master and cousin young miss have all been arranged.”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to look at her, “Prepare some snacks and send them over, use some when you’re hungry later.”

“Yes.” Biyun answered and retreated.

“Eldest Miss, there is some unrest at the border there.” Yun Xiang said and handed over the secret letter.

“Border” Mu Zi Yan raised his hand to receive the secret letter, after reading it, “It doesn’t matter, but it’s just a small fight.”

“Eldest Miss, when King Qing’s place arrived, he did not send out his troops, instead he closed the city gates.” Yun Xiang looked at her, “If King Qing did so, wouldn’t he force the Third Prince to make a move”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded her head and responded, “Respond to all changes with no change.”

“It seems that King Qing is also a bad one to mess with.” Yun Xiang felt amused instead.

Mu Zi Yan now but concerned about the grandmother’s mother’s family, Ji surname is extremely rare, should say in the great Yan has disappeared, why will suddenly appear it and before the grandmother’s surname is not the Ji surname.

She sat down slowly, thinking darkly, and after a while, she came back to her senses, and then she got up and headed out the door.

“Where are you going, Missy,” Rue Xiang asked as she looked at her.

“There’s no need to follow, I’ll go and return.” Mu Zi Yan said indifferently.

“Yes.” Rue Xiang answered, and then she did not follow.

Waiting for Mu Zi Yan to exit the Marquis Mu Mansion from the secret passage, she then went to the deserted mansion at the corner of the street, and when she entered, Hidden One personally greeted her, “Master.”

“Have you found everything I asked you to find” Mu Zi Yan looked at him and asked.

“Don’t worry master, subordinates have already found them all.” Hidden One hung his head and returned.

“Good.” Mu Zi Yan responded with satisfaction, and then entered the secret passage, turning the mechanism, and then entered a secret room, which contained rows and rows of bookshelves, all of which were quite a lot of strange stories that Mu Zi Yan had let Hidden One go back to look for, as well as some orphan books.

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes and looked at it, Hidden One had already categorized them one by one, so she quickly found what she wanted, and after reading it, her eyes flashed with a flash of ghostly light, and she said in a low voice, “So that’s how it is.”

She then put the book back down and turned to leave.

And so back to the Mu Marquis, the sky is dark, Mu Lingxuan and Mu Lingrui has been back from duty, the family gathered in one place, since there are two more guests.

Ji Zheng and All people have changed their clothes, and are now sitting down, but they are not too restrained, but rather very natural.

The seat since the polite a few words, there are no more words, to be used after the end of the crowd will go to the flower hall together, Mu Jingyuan will not beat around the bush, asked directly, “I do not know the nephew of the great come to be something.”

“Truth be told, my little nephew has come and indeed has a matter he wishes to request.” Ji Zheng said and then got up, “My nephew is trying to ask my cousin to accompany me back to the clan.”

“I,” Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to look at him and whispered.

“Exactly.” Ji Zheng raised his eyes to look at her and said, “This matter concerns the rise and fall of the family.”

Mu Zi Yan froze a little this time, turning her eyes to look at Mu Qing Yuan and then to Ji Zheng, “Cousin, please sit down.”

“Cousin, this matter is a long story.” Ji Zheng looked at her and said, “I think cousin should have guessed a thing or two.”

Mu Zi Yan nodded slightly before saying, “Cousin’s surname is already known by very few Great Amazons.”

“Exactly.” Ji Zheng nodded his head and responded, “Cousin, this matter is very urgent, I still hope that cousin will come with me.”

“Let me think.” Mu Zi Yan said in a low voice, if she went, she thought that this matter would not be solved for a while, if she didn’t go, how could she explore the secret of that year?

She was silent for a long time, but finally came to a decision, “I don’t know when to move”

“The faster the better.” Ji Zheng’s word for this quickness was obviously that it was best to leave this night.

Qi was a bit dissatisfied and looked at Mu Zi Yan and said, “Yan’er, how can you make your own decisions on this matter?”

“Mother, cousin has come from thousands of miles away, so I think it must be a hundred thousand times more urgent, and my daughter thinks that father should also agree.” Mu Zi Yan turned her eyes to Mu Qing Yuan and said.

“Be careful along the way.” Mu Qingyuan looked at Mu Ziyan and said in a low voice.

“This,” Qi looked at Mu Qing Yuan, her eyes flashing with worry.

Mu Qingyuan looked at her, “Smokey, since you’ve decided, you should make preparations early.”

“Yes.” Mu Zi Yan rose and blessed herself.

“Not if I accompany my sister.” Mu Ling Rui said at this moment.

“Second brother, I’ll just go ahead with my cousin, it doesn’t matter.” Mu Zi Yan said with a smile.

“That’s good.” Mu Ling Rui looked at her and nodded in response after a moment of silence.

The first time I saw this, I was in the middle of a long journey, and I was in the middle of a long journey, and I was in the middle of a long journey, and I was in the middle of a long journey, and I was in the middle of a long journey, and I was in the middle of a long journey, and I was in the middle of a long journey, and I was in the middle of a long journey, and I was in the middle of a long journey, and I was in the middle of a long journey, and I was in the middle of a long journey.

Mu Zi Yan was dressed as a man, and when she left the capital, she went all the way to the southeast.

Waiting for two cities, the three talents to find an inn to settle down, the successive rush is indeed hard, so this night, the three people will also sleep very heavy.

“Cousin, how long before we get to the

Cousin, how long will it take to get there,” Mu Zi Yan asked in a low voice.

“If we take a shortcut, we’ll be there in January.” Ji Zheng said as he turned his eyes to look at her.

“En.” Mu Zi Yan didn’t ask him more about the family, and Ji Zheng didn’t take the initiative to mention it either.

All All of them got acquainted with Mu Zi Yan, and the two of them chatted, unlike when they first met, they were not as formal as when they first met.

Ji Zheng looked at Mu Zi Yan, but always remembered another person, so he also sighed a little more.

Mu Zi Yan was silent for a long time, and she only returned to her senses when Ji All handed her the water bag.

“Cousin, do you come out a lot” All All asked curiously.

“Rather, I’ve been out for a while.” Mu Zi Yan responded with a light smile.

“No wonder.” All All of the People smiled and said, “However, I find it strange that cousin is obviously about the same age as me, why do I feel that cousin is sometimes more majestic than brother”

Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly, “Majestic”

“Yes.” All of the people nodded in response, “Brother is the most dignified in the clan.”

Mu Zi Yan couldn’t help but smile, “Looks like cousin is the new clan leader.”

“No.” All All shook his head, “The patriarch of our clan is not a brother.”

“And who is that,” Muzzy Smoke continued.

“I don’t know.” All shook his head.

“Cousin.” Ji Zheng walked over with some wild fruits.

“Cousin.” Mu Zi Yan spoke with a light smile.

“I’ve washed these wild fruits.” Ji Zheng said and handed her the wild fruits.

Mu Zi Yan smiled and took it, wiped it then took a bite, “It’s a bit sour.”

“This kind of fruit is good for the body when eaten.” Ji Zheng said with a light smile.

“Yes.” Mu Zi Yan nodded.

All of the people sat and watched, then laughed immediately afterward.

“What is cousin laughing at,” Mu Zi Yan asked with a smile.

“It always seems like brother smiles more when he’s with his cousin.” All said giggling.

Ji Zheng was obviously stunned, then said, “You girl, when did you become so talkative”

Mu Zi Yan also followed with a smile, “It’s hard to believe that cousin always had a pouty face in the past”

“En.” All of them nodded in response, “Brother rarely smiles.”

Mu Zi Yan raised an eyebrow, “On the contrary, I think it’s quite good that cousin is so.”

“It’s just that I’ve never been out of the clan, so I rarely see people outside.” Ji Zheng was inevitably a little embarrassed.

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyebrows, “Come out, after following for so long.”

A figure suddenly dropped down, then snatched the fruit from her hand, sat between her and Ji Zheng, and took a hard bite.

Ji Zheng knew that someone was following him, but he didn’t notice the danger, so he didn’t recognize it, and now that he has a look, he also knows that this person is acquainted with his cousin.

Seeing him like this, Mu Zi Yan raised her hand and tapped him on the forehead, “Go aside.”

“Hmph.” Cloudflare then reluctantly moved a little, but only a little.

Mu Zi Yan slowly got up, “What are you following me for”

“Uneasy.” Yun Fei said with a cold face.

Seeing him like this, Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly and said, “Follow then follow.”

“En.” Yun Fei then barely managed to show a hint of a smile, but it was only fleeting.

In this way, there was one more person on the trio’s path, and whenever Mu Zi Yan and Ji Zheng were talking, Yun Fei blocked the middle of the two.

Ji Zheng, however, was not angry, but looking at Mu Zi Yan’s expression, he could only take a few steps backward.

“I’m talking to my cousin, what are you doing in the middle” Mu Zi Yan looked at Yun Fei like this and stepped forward to push him away.

Yun Fei where can let Mu Zi Yan to push over, stood stolidly, let her make enough strength also can not move.

“Three sounds, if you still don’t move, you stand here and don’t follow me.” Mu Zi Yan said and then raised three fingers.

Before Yun Fei could wait for Mu Zi Yan to shout one, he dodged and landed on the tree with a cold face.

Mu Zi Yan tilted her head and gave a cold snort at the tree before looking at Ji Zheng, “Cousin, is there a miasma set up in this mountain”

“En.” Ji Zheng nodded his head and responded, “This is the first hurdle.”

“Then it’s better for me to follow my cousin.” Mu Zi Yan smiled and spoke.

“Don’t worry cousin, you won’t get hit by miasma.” Ji Zheng said with a smile.

“Why,” Mu Zi Yan asked in disbelief.

“Because you have your aunt’s blood in you.” Ji Zheng continued.

“Oh.” Mu Zi Yan roughly understood, so she did not say anything more.

We waited until we got out of the first pass, and then we walked a little further up the mountain, and then we went over the mountains and continued on our way.

A month later, finally arrived at her grandmother’s maiden home as Ji Zheng said, she raised her eyes and looked at the mountains stacked up in front of her, filled with people living on top of them, this place was just like a lonely city, retaining the appearance of a thousand years ago, even the dress of the people inside was the same as a thousand years ago.

Yun Fei looked a little strange, facing the unfamiliar, especially still not in a place he recognized, he became a little nervous and afraid, as soon as he was afraid, he would hide behind Mu Zi Yan, tugging tightly on her sleeve.

Mu Zi Yan whispered, “Don’t look, follow me.”

“En.” Yun Fei nodded his head in response, then he lowered his head and followed Mu Zi Yan up.

Mu Zi Yan followed Ji Zheng to enter from one side, did not disturb the clansmen in the city, waited for a mansion, after she entered, since she felt as if it was a lifetime ago, this place she had been here before.

She remembered that during the time she had just died, her mind was in a cloudy state, so she would wander around haphazardly, and it seemed that it was at that time that she had seen this place.

Mu Zi Yan had a bit of a headache for a while and suddenly stopped walking, just closing her eyes only to feel a wave of dizziness.

“Cousin.” Seeing her like this, Ji Zheng rushed forward and was about to help her.

Yun Fei, however, snatched her up and held her steady, looking down at her, his face

looked at her with more than a hint of grounded concern on his face, “It doesn’t hurt.”

Mu Zi Yan took a deep breath, and only when she was slightly better did she raise her eyes to look at him, “It’s fine, it should be that she has been rushing for too long and is a bit tired.”

“En.” Yun Fei nodded, but did not let go of her hand, carefully holding her up.

When Mu Zi Yan saw him like this, the depression in her heart dispersed and she couldn’t help but smile.

Yun Fei snorted coldly and just helped her forward.

Ji Zheng saw that she was fine, then he was relieved, when he entered the main hall, he saw someone coming, a silver-haired woman, a dark red dress, her eyes were cold, and a ruby smudge was filled with a few wisps of strange light.

“Great Grandmother.” Ji Zheng bowed respectfully.

Mu Zi Yan looked at the person in front of her and also knelt down in a hurry.

“This is Smoke Maiden, isn’t it,” the silver-haired old woman known as the Great Grandmother whispered.

“Exactly.” Mu Zi Yan knew that this person was her grandmother’s mother, and that she should also call out to Grandmother Tai.

“Come here and let me see.” The old woman raised her hand and beckoned at her.

“Yes.” Mu Zi Yan answered with her eyes downcast and slowly got up before walking forward.

When she came closer, Mu Zi Yan was able to see her appearance clearly, and her eyes flashed with a flash of surprise, simply because her appearance was surprisingly somewhat similar to this Great Grandmother.

The old woman raised her hand, her fingertips white and trembling as she held her hand and sighed, “Smoke girl, I can finally wait for you.”

Mu Zi Yan was visibly stunned, raising her eyes to look at her, and didn’t know how to reply.

The old woman rose slowly, living on her cane with one hand and holding her hand in the other, and with a gentle push, she pulled her hand toward the inside.

Ji Zheng and All people did not dare to follow, so they stood in the hall and waited.

Mu Zi Yan along with the old woman walked forward, straight to the end, the old woman raised her hand to open the organ in front of her, she saw a stone door open, she took Mu Zi Yan into the inside, and so on in, she turned her eyes to look at Mu Zi Yan, “Smoke girl, this is your grandmother’s home.”

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to look at her, “Great Grandmother.”

“Yes.” The old woman nodded her head and responded, “Smokey girl, I can’t stop waiting for you to come back.”

“The Great Grandmother knows about Smokey,” Mu Zi Yan asked in a low voice.

“Naturally, I know.” The old woman took out a secret letter from the side and handed it to her, “Take a look.”

“Yes.” Mu Zi Yan received it with both hands, and after looking at it, he raised his eyes to look at her, “This was calculated”

“Your destiny with a curse, but someone blocked a robbery for you, so you can live until now, now it is fifteen, it is time to come back.” The old woman whispered, “Smoke girl, do you know I waited for you for thirty years na.”

“Great Grandmother, Smokey doesn’t understand.” Mu Zi Yan said with downcast eyes.

“The Ji family, I’m sure you know about it,” the old woman said as she looked at her.

“Just learned a bit from the book.” Mu Zi Yan said frankly.

“Then you will know after reading these.” The old woman said, pointing to the bookshelf not far away, while then lifting her steps, she walked out.

Mu Zi Yan stood still and watched the old woman leave, turned her eyes and looked at those bookshelves, she did not hesitate, turned around and stood in front of the bookshelves and looked carefully.

I don’t know how long it took, when the stone door opened again, the old woman came slowly, waited until she was in front of Mu Zi Yan, and said in a low voice, “Have you finished reading?”

“Yes.” Mu Zi Yan answered with downcast eyes.

“But it’s all clear,” the old woman continued.

“Smokey understands.” Mu Zi Yan returned truthfully.

“Then you should know what to do,” the old woman said with downcast eyes.

“Great grandmother, this burden Smokey is afraid that she can’t bear it.” Mu Zi Yan only wanted to live in this life, she only needed to protect her parents and her family, but she didn’t want to bear such a big burden.

“Your grandmother said the same thing back then.” The old woman sighed quietly, “So, I let her out of here, and what happened I don’t have much time left, if you don’t want to, then go, when I take my breath, this place will disappear with me.”

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes and looked at her, she was silent for a long time, she suddenly remembered what happened in her previous life, it seemed that at that time, the Ji family did not come to look for her, so why did they come to look for her in this life?
