Chapter 225 – The Death of the Crown Prince and the Third Prince’s Accession to the Throne as Emperor (Second Shift) (1 / 2)

Mu Zi Yan holding a cup of tea, leaning against the window, the gauze window through a wisp of mist, the ears came from the sound of a gentle rain, she half squinted her eyes, wearing a long light blue dress, pulled into a Lingyun bun, the sapphire gold steps, more set off the face like a hibiscus, the temples of the green silk floating with the wind, the corners of the lips of the pear vortex in full bloom, the demeanor of the cozy, but with a unique flavor.

Rue Xiang stood to one side, surveying her from time to time, “Eldest Miss, this is the first rain of summer.”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan lightly sipped a mouthful of tea, her lips and teeth lingering, she looked down and froze slightly.

Seeing her staring at the teacup out of her mind, Yunxiang carefully opened her lips, “Eldest Miss, this tea”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan slowly came back to her senses, it seems that some habits are to be changed, after the farewell with Chu Ye that day, he never appeared again, and she returned the token of the hot spring manor, and all the things he left for himself, only this tea

She hooked her lips in a light smile, but she didn’t know why she was smiling, she just thought she should be smiling at this moment.

“But a new one, Missy,” Rueyang continued to ask.

“No.” Mu Zi Yan said faintly, “It’s just tea.”

“Yes.” Yunxiang returned with downcast eyes, seemingly remembering something, “Yes, Missy, Hidden One’s place just got news about the Princess’ Mansion.”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan raised her hand to receive the secret letter handed over by Yun Xiang, and after reading it her eyes flashed with a ghostly light.

“Eldest Miss.” Yunxiang saw that she looked a bit gloomy, but she didn’t know what had happened.

Mu Zi Yan’s hand slightly lurched, counting, at this time in her previous life, the Lin’an County Lord was going to go.

She took a deep breath and said faintly, “Continue to keep an eye on it, and if there is any more movement in the Princess’ residence, report it immediately.”

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

Mu Zi Yan silent for a long time, only feel that the rain is too soft, looking at the look will be born out of annoyance, simply will close the window, the side of the body to pick up a side of the book scrolls, do not do other thoughts.

So then two days, Jun Qian Che since the token was stolen after the incident, the whole day peacefully, in addition to the morning court, will be in the palace to accompany the emperor to deal with political affairs, convergence of the temperament, but let the people look more and more doubt.

Zhong Xuan personally, spent two days, sent people can not even get close to the body of Jun Qian Mei, she is since anxious, looking at the foot of the men, cold voice, “waste”

“Master, it’s really because King Qing is surrounded by experts, and all the people my subordinates have sent are going nowhere.” The subordinate whispered back.

“Where’s the poison,” Zhong Xuan continued.

“It’s already been placed, but King Qing’s place didn’t have any reaction.” The subordinate thought about it, and became more and more irritated, “Master, this King Qing is really a deep concealer.”

“Hmph.” Zhong Xuan was wearing her night clothes, looking sideways at the moonlight through the window pane, the silver light sprinkled on her cold face, penetrating layers of ground frost.

She was silent for a long moment, then said, “Send them out when necessary.”

“Yes.” The henchman continued, “But if we do so, I’m afraid we’ll expose our identities.”

“Can’t care so much.” Zhong Xuan said in a low voice, “Now we can’t delay any longer, the Crown Prince’s place isn’t stupid, so he won’t let the Emperor seize the handle to depose himself, and the Qing King’s place is deliberately delaying, so if this goes on for a long time, not only will it not be successful, but it will disturb the military’s center of gravity.”

“Yes.” The subordinate answered and said in a deep voice, “Master, my subordinate will go and order.”

“Good.” Zhong Xuan turned her eyes to look at the engraved hourglass and whispered, “Set it for tomorrow day.”

“Yes.” The henchman knew that this time it was going to be for real.

Zhong Xuan waved her hand and said, “Stand down.”

“Subordinate will retire.” The subordinate answered and dashed away.

Zhong Xuan stood with her arms folded, victory or defeat was at stake, she absolutely would not allow herself to make any more mistakes, Mu Zi Yan, I will personally clean you up.

Mu Zi Yan’s place has not yet gotten news from Jun Qian Hao’s place, but she is not in a hurry, for her, even if Jun Qian Hao succeeds in taking over the north, the emperor will have a way to make it impossible for him to do what he wants.

“Eldest Miss, the Second Young Master is here.” Yunxiang reported in a low voice.

“En.” Mu Zi Yan from the inner room out, Mu Ling Rui just entered, these days, Mu Ling Xuan some busy, after the duty is accompanied by Su Qin Rou, but instead, Mu Ling Rui often come to her place, accompanied her to chat.

“Sister.” Mu Ling Rui entered the room, the corners of his mouth hung with the previous smile, and his nature was more cheerful than before, seemingly returning to his former self.

Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly, “Second brother.”

“By the way, I remember the tavern that you were last time, I went there this day.” Mu Ling Rui slowly sat down and said with a smile.

“Then the shopkeeper can be there” Mu Zi Yan asked with a smile.

“In.” Mu Lingrui continued, “I met Lord Leng.”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan knew that Leng Cold Summit often went to that place, just for Gong Xin, what she could do would be up to this, so that he could get a foothold in the capital, but also did not have to enter the house in order to beg for a living.

“It was also just a few pleasantries.” Mu Lingrui whispered.

“Nope.” Mu Zi Yan suddenly remembered something, “Isn’t Leng Hanfeng gone”

“Gone,” Mulingray looked at her in disbelief.

“Yes, go.” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes flashed with a ghostly light, turning her eyes to look at Yun Xiang, “Go and take a look.”

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

Mu Ling Rui hesitated for a moment, “Sister, it can’t be that what I saw at the tavern wasn’t him”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded and responded, “It should not be.”

“What,” Mu Lingrui thought carefully, “No wonder I feel something is wrong.”

“What’s wrong,” Mu Zi Yan said, looking at him.

“After he used it, he said a few words to me and left, only those eyes looked a bit strange.” Mu Ling Rui thought back carefully, looked at her and said, “Sister, where did Lord Leng go”

“I don’t know.” Mu Zi Yan whispered, “He finally

Zi Yan whispered, “He’ll show up eventually.”

“Oh.” Mu Ling Rui only felt that the recent atmosphere in the capital was too weird, but remembering the emperor’s mind, it seemed that something big would happen before long.

As expected, two days later, the news that King Qing had been seriously injured reached the capital, and with no other choice, Jun Qian Mei retreated with his men, and the city was unable to defend itself.

Mu Zi Yan had gotten the news, “Is the injury serious?”

“I heard that it was done by an expert, all the people around him were also seriously injured and died, King Qing is still unconscious today, the Third Prince took the opportunity to attack the city, and that night, King Qing was taken and retreated.” Yun Xiang whispered.

Mu Zi Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly, “Zhong Xuan has finally revealed her bottom card.”

“Eldest Miss, what should we do now” Yun Xiang knew that King Qing was unconscious, the army was in chaos and was losing ground, it wouldn’t be long before the whole of the North was the Third Prince’s.

Mu Zi Yan waved her hand and said, “Whatever.”

“Yes.” Rue Xiang returned with downcast eyes.

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes and looked ahead, after thinking for a long time, she seemed to feel that something was wrong, she raised her eyes and looked at Yun Xiang, “Is there any news from the Princess’s residence”

“Not yet.” Ruek returned with downcast eyes.

Mu Zi Yan nodded slightly and slowly got up, pacing back and forth in the house.

The situation at hand made her feel as if she was about to break through the fog, except how she felt like she was falling into another fog instead.

When Mu Lingxuan came, what he saw was her face full of sadness, he lightly coughed a few times and raised his eyes to look at her, “What is the younger sister thinking about?”

“Brother.” Mu Zi Yan looked back, “Just thinking about the current dynasty situation.”

“The news traveled really fast, I originally thought that King Qing could resist for a period of time, but I didn’t expect to be so defeated.” Mu Lingxuan said in a warm voice.

“En.” Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to look at him, “Brother, things are unpredictable, maybe there will be a turnaround”

“I think it won’t take a month for the north to be taken down by the Third Prince.” Mu Lingxuan continued, “I also don’t know who the Emperor will send next to suppress it.”

“Cousin.” Mu Zi Yan said faintly.

“Cousin,” Mu Lingxuan was silent for a long time, “yes, nowadays he is the only one left, if he loses, then the State Duke’s Office also loses.”

“However, Jun Qianhao can’t wait.” Mu Zi Yan knows, according to Jun Qian Hao’s nature, not to avoid the night is long, afraid to speed up, straight until the emperor’s decree, cousin led the men to go, the fastest need half a month to arrive, and Jun Qian Hao has long been deployed, this north has long been in his hands, self-reliance as the king is a matter of time.

“It’s too late,” Mu Lingxuan was silent for a long time, “Sister, why is it too late.”

“Brother, you will know when the time comes.” Mu Zi Yan couldn’t be sure at this time, but at this time now, she couldn’t make any moves more and more.

Inside the palace, the emperor looked at the zhangzuo in front of him, his eyes shattered out a cold light, “When it’s really my good son.”

“Your Majesty, the Third Prince is trying to completely rebel.” Zhang Xi said from the side.

“Humph.” The emperor ruthlessly slapped the zhang fold on the dragon case, his eyes flashed with coldness, “I’ll let him stand on that high position and let him watch with his own eyes as he falls to pieces since.”

“Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is quite peaceful these days.” Zhang Xi whispered.

“He,” the Emperor sighed, “wasn’t ruthless enough after all.”

“Your Majesty, at King Qing’s place,” Zhang Xi asked with downcast eyes.

“Come back.” The Emperor said faintly and sighed quietly.

Zhang Xi simply responded and said no more.

As expected, the emperor issued a decree on the next day, ordering Qi Xuan to lead the men and horses to go, half a month later, not waiting for Qi Xuan to arrive, Jun Qianhao has already announced to the world, self-established as the king, completely divided the Great Amazing North and South two countries.

On this day, Jun Qianhao, dressed in his dragon robe, entered the Golden Palace step by step under the attention of all the officials, and when he sat down on the dragon chair, he looked out, and his eyes seemed to see the entire Great Amazing River and Mountain.

He ascended to the throne and established a new country, and Zhong Xuan logically became the Empress, all this seems to have come a long time earlier than in his previous life, just how long can he sit on this throne?

Mu Zi Yan did not stay in the house, but sat in the pavilion in the courtyard, after Yun Xiang reported, the corner of her mouth hooked up a cold smile, Jun Qian Hao, the show has just begun.

“Eldest Miss, nowadays Da Yan” Yun Xiang felt that this matter of the Third Prince doing so was really a rebellion.

“The one who dares to disobey the emperor, he is the only one in the world who is able to make this move, now the crown prince is afraid that he will lose.” Mu Zi Yan sneered.

“This,” Rue said, a little confused.

Mu Zi Yan said faintly, “Don’t worry, the Great Amazingness will not be dispersed.”

“Yes.” Rue Xiang answered with downcast eyes.

Mu Zi Yan was just looking for an opportunity, a method that could keep both the State Duke’s Mansion and the Mu Marquis’ Mansion safe.

As the sky darkened, Mu Lingxuan hurriedly entered and saw that she was comfortably joking around in the gazebo and sighed quietly, “Sister, you’re quite at ease.”

“I’m just a lady of the house, what does what happens outside have to do with me” Mu Zi Yan said with a raised eyebrow.

“The only one who can joke at this time is you.” Mu Lingxuan was not expecting the Third Prince to have such guts.

“Today is also just the beginning, it’s up to Bei Qing.” Mu Zi Yan said faintly.

“What do you mean by that” Mu Lingxuan pondered carefully for a while, seemingly thinking of something, “It’s hard to believe that Jun Qianhao wants to be with the Northern Qing Kingdom”

“If that’s the case, wouldn’t Great Amazing be in danger” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly as she sneered.

“No.” Mu Lingxuan hurriedly got up, “Now that half of the Great Amazing has already been divided, if he is colluding with the Northern Qing Kingdom, then won’t the Great Amazing really fall into his hands”

“Yes.” Mu Zi Yan said faintly, “Brother, the son of a chaotic official, when he becomes a lord, and when he loses, he is an ancient sinner, Jun Qian Hao, since he has already come this far, will he be allowed to be so comfortable Plus Zhong Xuan, the Emperor

Zhong Xuan, I’m afraid that the Emperor’s place has expected it.”

“Sister, if that’s the case, the State Duke’s Office is bound to get involved.” Mu Lingxuan continued.

“Yes.” Mu Zi Yan said in a deep voice, “Not only the State Duke’s Mansion, but even the ten great families will be there as well.”

“You mean,” Mu Lingxuan’s eyes flashed with a ghostly light, “the Emperor will take the opportunity to eradicate people with ulterior motives.”

“Not bad.” Mu Zi Yan nodded her head and responded, then said, “With internal troubles and external troubles, I’m afraid that the Great Amazing, which has stood for nearly a thousand years, will have to reshuffle its cards as well.”

Although Mu Lingxuan disliked the court, he was in deep thought in the face of Great Yan’s situation.

He raised his eyes and looked at Mu Zi Yan, seemingly thinking of something, and said faintly, “Sister, when things are really as you say they are, then what should you”

“How,” Mu Zi Yan said with a low laugh, “I’m waiting.”

“Wait for what,” Mu Lingxuan asked, looking at her.

“Waiting for His Majesty’s next move.” Mu Zi Yan took a deep breath, “The Crown Prince is going to die.”

“Jun Qian Che is the child left behind by the Empress, and has been quite loved since he was young, not realizing that he would end up like this now.” Mu Lingxuan said in a low voice.

“En.” Mu Zi Yan sighed and said, “Brother, everything has a cause and effect, for the Crown Prince to be able to have today’s fate is his own fault.”

“I know.” Mu Lingxuan sighed.

“That day when he designed to harm you, I knew that he would surely die, he deserved to die at that time, I just let him live for a few more years.” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes flashed with coldness, anyone who harmed her loved ones, she would not let go.

Mu Lingxuan stepped forward and gently held Mu Ziyan in his arms, “Sister, it’s all in the past.”

Mu Zi Yan leaned on his shoulder and laughed lowly, “When the Crown Prince died, it passed.”

“Good.” Mu Lingxuan responded softly.

“Ahem,” came a soft cough from not far away.

Su Qinrou and Mu Lingrui were walking over, and when they saw the duo in front of them, they glanced at each other and hooked their lips in a light smile.

Mu Zi Yan took a step backward and raised her eyes to look at them, “Sister-in-law, second brother.”

“Brother and sister love.” Su Qinrou said with a smile.

Mu Lingxuan didn’t care, loving his sister was the same as pampering her, he stepped forward and helped Su Qinrou up the stone steps and sat on his side.

Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly, “Sister-in-law don’t be jealous oh.”

Su Qinrou snorted coldly, “My sister hasn’t even hugged me like this.”

The corner of Mu Zi Yan’s mouth turned away as she looked at Su Qin Rou and said, “I want to hug my nephew.”

“Hmph.” Su Qinrou snorted coldly.

Mu Lingxuan said in a warm voice, “It turns out that Rou’er’s most painful is her younger sister.”

“That’s natural.” Su Qinrou raised her eyebrows and responded.

Mu Ling Rui looked at her and said, “Sister, how are things”

“Ah,” Mu Zi Yan looked to him, thinking carefully about what was going on.

“You and big brother should be talking about the matter of the third prince ascending to the throne as emperor.” Mu Ling Rui continued, “I think my sister won’t sit around and wait for death.”

Mu Zi Yan said with a light smile, “Yes, naturally not, but now is not the time to strike, the emperor’s anger is flourishing, now can’t wait to find someone out of anger.”

“That’s also true.” Mu Ling Rui nodded his head and responded, then said, “By the way, sister, since cousin arrived already late, but to come back”

“It’s not easy to come back now.” Mu Zi Yan whispered, “Let’s wait and see.”

After two days of this matter, the court was abuzz with officials, the impeachment of the crown prince’s immorality of the folders piled up the entire dragon case, Jun Qian Che became a target of the crowd for a time, and even with the support of the crown prince’s party, at this moment, everyone is also at risk for fear that this matter involves them, but also do not dare to make a sound.

Inside the Prince’s residence, Jun Qian Che raised his eyes and looked at the empty hall in front of him, letting out a loud laugh, the momentum has gone, why should he struggle again, he only hated his mother consort for going too early, and he only hated his father for being too heartless.

County Lord Yu An came forward and slowly knelt in front of him, whispering, “Your Highness.”

“Your marriage to this Palace was also arranged by Father, you were sent by Father to spy on this Palace.” Jun Qian Che suddenly pulled out his sword from the heels of a guard and pressed it against County Lord Yu An’s chest.

County Princess Yu An was not timid, pulling out the hairpin from her hair bun and stabbing it into her chest, “Concubine accompanies Your Highness to the Yellow Springs.”

“Haha, Yellow Springs,” Jun Qian Che raised a loud laugh, his laughter deafening, enveloping the entire hall, he was filled with anger and resentment, not knowing how to vent it, and more than anything, he was unwilling.

Why should he die? He’s the Crown Prince. How can he die?

County Lord Yu An braced herself, letting the blood slide down as she slowly got up and looked at him, “Your Highness.”

Jun Qian Che swatted her away as he stumbled and rushed out of the hall, only to see Zhang Xi leading the way, “Your Highness receive the decree.”

“Father is going to abolish this palace” Jun Qian Che held the sword in his hand, gently loosening it, clanging it to the ground.

Jun Qian Che was silent for a long time and seemed to have thought of something before he opened his mouth and said, “What about after the deposition?”

Yu An came covered in blood and stood at his side, whispering, “Your Highness receive the decree.”

Jun Qian Che looked at her with lowered eyes, raised his eyes to Zhang Xi in front of him, and knelt down mute, waiting until Zhang Xi had pronounced the decree and then turned to leave, he was still kneeling in bewilderment.

Yu An turned to look at him and handed him the dagger in his hand, “I respectfully ask your highness to be on your way.”

“Haha,” Jun Qian Che turned around and lifted his hands to hold that dagger, then looked at her in a daze, “The most poisonous thing in this world is a woman’s heart.”

Yu An’s face was cold and she just looked at him calmly.

Jun Qian Che stabbed the dagger into his heart and raised his voice, “Father, you have a cruel heart.”

Yu An watched him die in front of her with wide open eyes, she let out a low laugh and then fainted.

On this day, the Crown Prince was deposed and cut himself off from the Crown Prince’s House.

Immediately after, is the crown prince’s party, the capital has changed the sky, late at night, countless of the imperial guards into the official residence, copying and exterminating, so it will be carried out for a whole month.

Month.

Marquis Zhong, Marquis Zhang and Marquis Cui were not spared, and the male members of the family were dismissed and investigated, and Marquis Zhong was imprisoned in his house.
