    After a while, he saw Jun Qian Maybe come out, his robes covered in ash, but he didn’t care, instead raising his eyes to look at her, “I’m going to change my clothes.”

    “En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded her head and did not go in, and after Jun Qian Mei left, she just stood at the head of the courtyard.

    Not long after, they saw Jun Qian might have changed into a clean robe and returned, looking at her with a few more smiles, “Go in.”

    “En.” Mu Zi Yan faintly replied, and then entered the house with him.

    The inside was cleaned up, Mu Zi Yan swept a glance and was looking back at him, he was also looking at her, the two of them looked at each other, she seemed to catch something from his eyes.

    She slowly retracted her gaze and whispered, “Why does Your Highness still want to investigate this matter”

    “In my heart Father will always be my father.” Jun Qian Mei said indifferently.

    Mu Zi Yan was silent for a long time, “What about the Emperor”

    “That’s true, but” Jun Qian Mei mused for a moment, “Smokey, can I call you that”

    Mu Zi Yan saw his sudden turn of phrase and was a bit dumbfounded, then nodded and responded, “Your Highness called.”

    “Good.” Jun Qian Mei responded with a smile.

    When the two of them sat down, the butler personally served tea, and then he retired.

    Jun Qian Mei picked up the tea and took a sip, then put it down, “What did Smokey find out?”

    “No.” Mu Zi Yan shook her head.

    “It seems that some of the clues are really broken.” Jun Qian Mei said indifferently.

    “Yes.” Mu Zi Yan could not deny that she also wanted to find out about the death of the old King of Qing back then, but now that Jun Qian Mei’s identity had changed, she was unsure of what the connection was, so she was able to be a little more cautious.

    And for some reason, ever since County Eunuch Yu An had said those words to her, she had always been a little uncomfortable when she looked at Jun Qian Mou, there were some things that were better buried deep or pretended not to know, or else, it would become very awkward for each other.

    She knew very little about Jun Qian Mei, not clear in these years exactly how he spent, but at this moment, the two of them are such a coincidence sitting together, and then soon, she will be into the Prince’s residence to think of this place, she suddenly a little confused.

    Jun Qian Mei saw that she didn’t speak, he was silent for a while and the tea on the side got cold, he slowly got up and looked at her with downcast eyes, “Since there are no clues, let’s take a walk.”

    “En.” Mu Zi Yan also felt that sitting like this was a bit strange, so she got up and went out of the courtyard with him.

    Jun Qian Mei whispered, “You have something to ask me”

    Mu Zi Yan pursed her lips, raised her eyes to look at him and said, “When did you know about your birth”

    “Since I can remember.” Jun Qian Mei said bluntly, without the slightest hint of concealment or hesitation.

    “It seems that the emperor has kept everyone in the dark all these years, does the old prince know then” Mu Zi Yan asked in a low voice.

    “I know.” Jun Qian Mei lowered her eyes and said, “But Father still treats me like his own son.”

    “Then besides His Majesty, His Highness and the old prince, can anyone else know” Mu Zi Yan continued to ask.

    “The onlookers don’t know.” Jun Qian Mei said indifferently, “My mother consort died in childbirth.”

    “Same as the Fifth Prince,” Mu Zi Yan said after a moment of silence.

    “En.” Jun Qian Mei nodded her head and responded, “Actually, I am the real Fifth Prince.”

    “What” Mu Zi Yan now felt more and more confused, “You mean, you are the real Fifth Prince, that Jun Qian Yu”

    “You should know that the Empress gave birth to two sons that year, a fifth prince and a ninth prince.” Jun Qian Mei looked at her and said.

    “En.” Mu Zi Yan thought carefully, “Three months apart before and after.”

    “Yes.” Jun Qian Mei nodded in response, “He is the Empress’ own son, the Ninth Prince.”

    “Does the Empress know then” Mu Zi Yan felt that this matter was too unbelievable.

    “The Empress gave birth to the ninth prince’s body has been bad, so did not see the ninth prince, later, the ninth prince died young, followed by the Empress princeling, too many things happened during that time, I think no one will suspect.” Jun Qian Mei whispered, “The Empress Dowager may be aware of this.”

    “I see.” Mu Zi Yan said in a low voice, “The Emperor wanted His Highness to live, but he didn’t want you to stay in the palace, so he turned the Ninth Prince into the Fifth Prince.”

    “Not bad.” Jun Qian Mei looked at her and said, “This secret is known to no one except the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, as well as me and Father.”

    “En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded her head and responded, “Just why did your highness tell me”

    “You are the future Crown Princess, I will tell you everything I know.” Jun Qian Mei said with a light smile.

    Mu Zi Yan was slightly stunned and said faintly, “Your Highness, I”

    “I understand.” Jun Qian Mei whispered, “Smokey, I won’t force myself on you.”

    Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to look at him, but she didn’t know how to answer.

    Jun Qian Mei thought for a while and said in a low voice, “I’ll send you back to the mansion.”

    “Good.” Mu Zi Yan nodded and answered.

    Jun Qian Mei went out of the Qing King’s Mansion, and after she got into the carriage, he followed along inside, and because of his status, he is not allowed to ride a horse nowadays, so he sat in it.

    Mu Zi Yan lowered her eyes and remained silent, waiting until Jun Qian Mei sat across from her, and the two of them remained as silent as they should be.

    When they arrived at the Marquis Mu Mansion, Mu Zi Yan got out of the carriage and Jun Qian Mei followed him down, he whispered, “Go inside, then I won’t go in.”

    “Greetings, Your Highness.” Mu Ziyan blessed herself and said.

    Jun Qian Mei turned around and sat inside her own royal chauffeur, and only after she left did Mu Zi Yan return to the mansion.

    Yunxiang and Bi Yun quietly followed, only feeling that there was something wrong with the eldest young lady’s complexion.

    Mu Zi Yan has not just got the news and shocked, if it is really so, then Jun Qian Yu is the ninth prince, but also the empress of the son, that is the real first son But why the emperor wants to choose the Jun Qian Maybe, and abandon Jun Qian Yu?

    She was suddenly a little confused as to what had happened between the Empress and the Emperor

    What happened between the emperor and the emperor is very affectionate towards the empress ah.

    Thinking of the Prince’s downfall, and remembering Jun Qian Yu’s downfall, she only felt that the Emperor for the Empress, for fear of hate, if not hate, why would he personally will be pro son forced to this situation?

    When she returned to Smoke Fall Courtyard, Yun Xiang then came forward and said, “Eldest Miss”

    “En” Mu Zi Jing came back to her senses and raised her eyes to look at her, “What is it”

    “Eldest Miss, this Prince is really good to you.” Yun Xiang said and handed her the brocade box behind her.

    Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes and took it, after opening it, what was placed inside the box was an eight treasures box, inside it even placed a piece of Liu Yun jade, this kind of jade is extremely rare, this world is afraid that there are only three pieces, and he gave her such a precious thing.

    Yunxiang glanced over and whispered, “Eldest Miss, the Crown Prince said to the slave girl just now, letting you take a good rest and leave the matter of the wedding to him, saying that he will send the wedding clothes over next month.”

    “En.” Mu Zi Yan faintly answered, seemed to have thought of something, raised her eyes and looked at Yun Xiang and said, “Where is Princess Yu An?”

    “County Mistress Yu An has been at the Crown Prince’s Residence and seems to be sick again.” Yunxiang whispered.

    “Is County Lord Lin’an entering the imperial tomb,” Mu Zi Yan said as she raised her eyes to look at her.

    “No.” Yunxiang shook her head, “I heard that the Emperor had a decree, but instead buried the extra horse harnessed by the side of a team”

    “Yes, extra horse harnessed by the side of a team.” Mu Zi Yan whispered, “Princess Yuehua lost her husband at an early age, and is the one who should be buried in front of the extra horse harnessed by the side of a team.”

    “Eldest Miss, you have something on your mind these days.” Yunxiang whispered.

    “En.” Mu Zi Yan faintly responded, “And somehow, there is some panic.”

    “Eldest Miss, but because of the Crown Prince,” Yun Xiang then asked.

    “No.” Mu Zi Yan is very clear, he is now for Jun Qian may be just curious, but Jun Qian Yu where he is now exactly where and what he is doing he is aware of his own life, or else it is not possible to swindle the death, then he swindled the death of the Zhong Houfu related to the Zhong Xuan related to the emperor has nothing to do with it?

    When she thought so, she felt that Jun Qian Yu was too much with pity, remembering that he was in front of herself but never mentioned it, remembering that day when she met him for the last time, she suddenly got up, “Get ready, I’m going to enter the palace now.”

    “Yes.” Yunxiang answered with her head hanging down, and then she went to get ready.

    “Sister.” Mu Ling Rui entered the room and raised his eyes to look at her, “But something happened.”

    “Second brother.” Mu Zi Yan looked at him and seemed to have thought of something, “Second brother, during the time you were in the Liang Wang Mansion, did you find anything strange”

    “Strange things,” Mu Lingrui thought back carefully and whispered, “but did not find anything strange.”

    “Second brother think more carefully.” Mu Zi Yan said as she looked at him.

    “Okay, when I think of it, I’ll tell you.” Seeing that she seemed a bit flustered in her expression, Mu Ling Rui said in a low voice.

    “En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded her head and then said, “Second brother, I’m going to go to the palace and wait until I come back.”

    “Go.” Mu Ling Rui then did not say anything more and waited until Mu Zi Yan left, then he contemplated alone.

    Mu Zi Yan was not sure why she had hurried into the palace, only that she knew that there were some things that she still had to ask about, otherwise, the mystery was getting bigger and bigger, and she was worried that in the end, it would overwhelm her and she would lose her original judgment.

    When she entered the Palace of Eternal Life, the Empress Dowager looked grim, and when she saw her, she didn’t have her usual compassion.

    When Mu Zi Yan saw her like this, she guessed something, she thought it was because of the Fifth Prince

    She bowed respectfully, “Cheng An sees the Empress Dowager.”

    “Smoke girl hurried into the palace, what is the reason for” the empress dowager said in a cold voice.

    “Reporting back to the Empress Dowager, Cheng An came to ask the Empress Dowager about a matter.” Mu Zi Yan didn’t beat around the bush, but spoke bluntly.

    “Ask.” The Empress Dowager said in a cold voice.

    “Did something happen to the Fifth Highness” Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to look at her and asked.

    The Empress Dowager was slightly stunned, her complexion was filled with sadness until finally her eyes were filled with sourness, she looked at Mu Zi Yan and waved her hand, “It seems that you already know.”

    “Because the Fifth Highness has not appeared for a long time, so Cheng An will be” Mu Zi Yan did not expect his guess was right, Jun Qian Yu really had an accident, is he already

    The Empress Dowager slowly got up and marched to her, “Smoke girl, he is the most beloved grandson of the mourning family, more important than the mourning family’s name.”

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

    “He is now alive or dead, and the mourning family does not know whether he is dead or alive.” The Empress Dowager held her hand, “The Emperor pointed you out to the Crown Prince, but in my heart, you can only be Yu’er’s.”

    Mu Zi Yan lowered her eyes and responded, “Empress Dowager, Cheng An is just Cheng An.”

    “I know you this girl stubborn, but, you think carefully, Yu’er to your heart, do you still do not understand it you know, even in the last moment, he is thinking of your safety, so that the mourning family to treat you well, do not be angry at you.” The Empress Dowager held Mu Zi Yan’s hand with great strength, seemingly with enough force.

    Mu Zi Yan did not draw out, just let the Empress Dowager pinch, straight until the Empress Dowager’s heart of the breath after the smooth, and then let go of the hand.

    A red mark had already been imprinted on her hand, she lowered her eyes and said, “Empress Dowager, there are some things that Cheng An has not been involved in, and His Fifth Highness has not said anything about them, so how could Cheng An understand them”

    The Empress Dowager laughed lowly, “He doesn’t say anything, he just doesn’t want to make you suffer.”

    Mu Zi Yan whispered, “Cheng An understands.”

    “You stand down.” The Empress Dowager said with a wave of her hand, turning around and leaving unexpectedly.

    Mu Zi Yan slowly left the Yongshou Palace, raising her eyes to look at the lofty palace in front of her, she felt suffocating here.

    She left the palace and sat inside the carriage, only to feel that everything under her eyes seemed to be in disarray.

    Yunxiang and Bi Yun looked at her worriedly, but they didn’t dare to make a sound.

    It was getting dark, and she got out of the carriage and went slowly back to Smokefall Yard, only to sit frozen in

    Is sitting frozen.

    Mu Lingxuan rushed to see such a situation, his eyes slightly sunken, walked forward, sat in front of her pair, “Sister.”

    Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to look at him and coughed lightly, “Brother.”

    “What’s wrong with you,” Mu Lingxuan asked worriedly.

    “Brother, I’m fine.” Mu Zi Yan waved her hand and said, “It’s just a little hard.”

    “It’s hard,” Mu Lingxuan rushed forward to cover her forehead, “It’s a bit hot.”

    “It will be fine if you rest for a while.” Mu Zi Yan said in a low voice.

    “Then you rest well.” Mu Lingxuan knew that she had something on her mind, but it was not a good time to ask more questions.

    Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly and answered, after Mu Ling Xuan left, she laid down straight away, “Jun Qian Yu, are you dead or alive”

    In this way, three days passed, Jun Qian Mei was still busy, but every day he would send her some trinkets, but they were all sent according to her preferences, not abrupt and not tiresome.

    Only she looked at them without the slightest feeling, just thinking about something else.

    “Sister.” Mu Lingrui excitedly entered, raised his eyes to look at her, and said with a smile, “I’ve thought of it.”

    “Second brother.” Mu Zi Yan saw Mu Ling Rui say this and then asked, “What did you think of”

    “I remember that the Cool King’s Mansion has a secret passage that leads to the Qing King’s Mansion.” Mu Lingrui said as he looked at her.

    “Qing Wang Fu” Mu Zi Yan looked at him, “How did Second Brother learn of this”

    “It was unintentionally discovered by County Lord Mingan during her private meeting with me.” Mu Lingrui is still a bit embarrassed today for bringing up this matter.

    Mu Zi Yan whispered, “Is that secret passage still there?”

    “The Liang Wang Mansion burned down, so I’m afraid that secret passageway is also gone.” Mu Ling Rui looked at her and said, “But that secret passageway leads to the study of the old King Qing of the King Qing Mansion.”

    “It looks like Second Brother has been inside.” Mu Zi Yan said as she looked at him.

    “Out with curiosity, once I secretly went there once alone, after I opened it, I just looked at it, there was nothing special about it, so I secretly left.” Mu Ling Rui looked at her and said.

    “Then where did the exit come from” Mu Zi Yan continued to ask.

    “There is a painting hanging in the study.” Mu Lingrui whispered.

    “I see.” Mu Zi Yan looked at Mu Ling Rui and said with a smile, “Second brother, many thanks.”

    “It doesn’t matter.” Mu Lingrui smiled lightly, “Sister has finally smiled.”

    “Second brother, I’ll go out first.” Mu Zi Yan said with a smile.

    “Go ahead.” Mu Lingrui knew that his thought of this matter would be useful to her.

    Mu Zi Yan out of the Mu Hou House, straight to the Qing Wang House, because the hands of the previous Jun Qian Mei left the key, it seems that Jun Qian Mei early instructions, so she into the Qing Wang House since it is unimpeded, and then went to the study, will be the painting open, then saw inside a mechanism, and so open, then see the wall in front of the eyes of the slow movement, the emergence of a secret passage.

    She lifted her steps inside and walked forward along the secret passage, but because of the burning of the Ryou Wangfu, half of it had already collapsed, and the remaining half looked nothing out of the ordinary, and she turned her eyes to look around the walls, carefully searching for any other organs.

    After a while, she heard footsteps and turned around alertly to see Jun Qian Mei walking over.

    She whispered, “This secret passageway leads to the Ryou Wang Mansion.”

    “En.” Jun Qian Mei nodded and responded, “Come over here.”

    “Ah,” Mu Zi Yan didn’t react before she saw Jun Qian Mei step forward and grab her wrist and yank it over.

    She raised her eyes to look at him, his face was a few degrees of ground cold, only to hear a boulder suddenly fall behind her, she then reacted and raised her eyes to look at him.

    Jun Qian Mei had let go of her wrist and whispered, “Be careful.”

    Mu Zi Yan nodded slightly, “It seems that this secret passage is about to collapse.”

    “Go back first.” Jun Qian Mei did not say much, looking a little tired, seemingly not well rested, but when he saw her, he always had a faintly soft light.

    Mu Zi Yan followed him out of the secret passage and closed the mechanism, then she felt her feet sway a few times, she sighed, “When it really collapsed.”

    “It may not be a problem.” Jun Qian Mei looked at her and said, “In the future, try not to go in alone in such dangerous places.”

    “Good.” Mu Zi Yan nodded in response, then watched as he slowly sat down, something seemingly out of place.

    She stepped forward and marched to his heel, raising her hand to take his pulse, her brows slightly knitted, “The pulse is unstable, I think it’s because your old injuries from last time have not yet healed.”

    “These days are a bit busy.” The coldness between Jun Qian Mei’s brows gradually melted away at Mu Zi Yan’s concern.

    Mu Zi Yan then sat down, took out a brocade bag from her bosom, took out a porcelain bottle, and handed it to him, “Take one capsule daily, and see the effect in half a month.”

    “En.” Jun Qian Mei lifted her hand to receive it and carefully held it in her palm, the corner of her mouth hooked up in a faint out smile.

    Seeing her like this, Mu Zi Yan lightly coughed a few times, “I’ll leave first.”

    “Good.” Jun Qian Mei didn’t say much and slowly got up, so he sent her away.

    “Your Highness, old slave,” said the butler behind him with downcast eyes.

    “She will find out.” Jun Qian Mei whispered.

    “If the Emperor knows about this matter, I’m afraid it will be unfavorable to you.” The housekeeper could not help but say with worry.

    “It may not matter.” Jun Qian Mei whispered, “I must find out how Father died.”

    “Yes.” The butler answered, then followed him and left together.

    Mu Zi Yan sat in the carriage, remembering the situation in the secret passage, and suddenly remembered Jun Qian Yu, these two people’s style of action, really something like, but the difference is that Jun Qian Yu is much more rogue than him.

    Mu Zi Yan also do not know why these days always miss Jun Qian Yu, seems to know his life, as well as the words of the Empress Dowager that day, let her really worried about his safety.

    She sighed quietly, thinking she had a lead, but not realizing it was still broken.

    “Go to the capital magistrate’s office.” Mu Zi Yan said indifferently.
