Chapter 232 – Starting Over – Smokey’s Too Tough (1 / 2)

Mu Zi Yan lying on the bed was not able to rest, but outside came the melodious sound of the flute, she then lifted up the brocade quilt will be smothered up, holding their breath, they rested on their own.

Straight until the next morning, when Mu Zi Yan woke up, Yun Xiang and Bi Yun carefully entered, “Eldest Miss, the Crown Prince is still standing in the courtyard today.”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan faintly responded, not caring about this matter, it was him who wanted to stand, what did it have to do with her

Yunxiang and Bi Yun exchanged a glance and didn’t dare to say much, but instead served her to wash and dress before coming out in a straight line.

After a night of sleeplessness, Xuanyuan Ye’s spirit appeared a bit haggard, Wei Ran finally couldn’t help but step forward and say, “Your Highness, your body hasn’t completely healed yet, it’s better to go back and rest first.”

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to look at him, just a faint glance, lifted her steps and walked forward past him.

Xuanyuan Ye turned his eyes to look at Wei Ran, “If the bitter meat trick worked, I would have used it early in the morning.”

Wei Ran lowered his eyes and said, “It is my subordinate who is foolish.”

“Hey.” Xuanyuan Ye sighed quietly and raised his steps to follow her right then and there.

Mu Zi Yan stopped her steps and turned her eyes to look at him, “The senior uncle I know isn’t like this, neither is the Fifth Highness I know, which time he doesn’t come and go without a trace, I don’t know what Your Highness is following my concubine for”

“I’m Xuanyuan Ye now, and Smokey is my lady, so I’ll be following you since.” Xuanyuan Ye whispered, “Since Smokey said she just met me, how about we start from the beginning”

Mu Zi Yan sneered, “No.”

“Then I’ll do whatever Smokey likes me to do.” Xuanyuan Ye said helplessly.

“Who are you” Mu Zi Yan looked straight at him, “Your Highness why are you doing this”

Xuanyuan Ye suddenly came forward and took her into his arms, lowering his head against her forehead, “Look clearly at who I am”

Mu Zi Yan retreated backward, but realized that her back was already against the stone pillar at the moment, where she could move half a point, raising her eyes to gaze at the face close at hand, the faint breath sprayed on her cheeks, penetrating an inexplicable ambiguity, she raised her hands and pushed him away, turned around and walked forward.

Xuanyuan Ye stood in place for a long time, and then followed up, now can only be stalked, he was not easy to live over, will bring her to his side, how can easily let each other into now this way!

Mu Zi Yan walking along the corridor, blowing gusts of breeze, her eyes flashed cold, only to feel that everything happening in front of her is a bit unreal, exactly what is going on why she will have such an unsettling relationship with him

She walked for a long time, Xuanyuan Ye followed for a long time, and waited until she was a little tired, turned around and realized that he was still following, she whispered, “What are you following?”

“I’ll follow you from now on.” Xuanyuan Ye whispered.

Mu Zi Yan sneered, “Is that so”

“Smokey, in the future there will be me accompanying you on all your paths.” Xuanyuan Ye stepped forward to hold her hand and said in a low voice.

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes and looked at him blankly, “Xuanyuan Ye, I really don’t understand, what exactly am I in your heart”

He whispered, “You know very well don’t you”

“Is it fun to play me,” Muzzy Smoke got up and turned to leave.

Xuanyuan Ye stood still and sighed, then followed right after.

Mu Zi Yan walked forward with a cold face, Yun Xiang and Bi Yun followed closely, only to feel that the eldest young lady had never lost such a temper.

In this way, three days passed, Xuanyuan Ye had been following her without leaving her, and every night, he would guard the head of the courtyard without ever leaving.

She acted still very cold, for Xuanyuan Ye, Mu Zi Yan do not know how to face, she can not say to his heart, more do not know himself and he really can go to the end she is afraid of their feet in the mud, more afraid of their own fall into an endless love and hate, can not extricate themselves.

She didn’t want to lose herself, let alone hurt herself or him.

Xuanyuan Ye had important matters to deal with, so he left the Eastern Palace, and Mu Zi Yan was also thinking about the two of them getting along so well in the future.

“Eldest Miss, the Sixth Highness has arrived.” Yunxiang couldn’t change her name and still called her Eldest Miss.

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes and saw Xuanyuan複 walking in, “Sister-in-law.”

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to look at him, “Sixth Imperial Brother this is”

“Sister-in-law, the Crown Prince’s brother will be back in two days, so I have nothing to do in these two days, so I came here to keep sister-in-law company.” Xuanyuan said with a smile, then spoke, “Sister-in-law, I really have a favor to ask, I don’t know if you can help me.”

“Sixth Imperial Brother but there’s no harm in saying it.” Mu Zi Yan looked at his face and said in a low voice.

“The thing is like this.” Xuanyuan Complex then told her what happened, and then said, “I also don’t know how to these days are also looking for clues, but there is nothing.”

“So it is.” Mu Zi Yan looked at him with a smile, “That day, Sixth Imperial Brother stopped the carriage also because of this matter”

“En.” Xuanyuan複 nodded, “It’s just that the crown prince’s royal brother said that the big wedding is coming up, so since I can’t touch these things, that’s why I’m enduring it.”

Mu Zi Yan nodded her head and said, “It just so happens that I also have time in these two days, so I will go with Sixth Imperial Brother to take a look.”

“Good.” Xuanyuan複 nodded his head and responded, “Sister-in-law, I do know what you can do, so I hope that sister-in-law will forgive me for my reckless actions that day.”

“Instead, I felt that Sixth Imperial Brother was more at ease that day.” Mu Zi Yan said with a light smile.

“I think so.” Xuanyuan said with a complex smile, “Sister-in-law, I can finally realize why the Crown Prince’s royal brother is so infatuated with you, with your nature, it’s not hard to not be liked.”

Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly and said, “I have a bad temper and a cold heart, so what do I like”

“That should be to someone else,” Xuanyuan said as he looked at her, “Sister-in-law, you actually like the crown prince’s royal brother too, right? It’s just that you’re angry that he lied to you.”

“Sixth Imperial Brother is trying to get me to go back,” Mu Zi Yan said as she stood outside the palace.

“I was wrong.” Xuanyuan複 hurriedly arched his hands and bowed.

Xuanyuan Complex hurriedly arched his hands and bowed.

Mu Zi Yan whispered, “Where to now”

“Into the palace.” Xuanyuan complex whispered, “this matter I originally do not want to interfere, but is the mother consort of the palace, I also can not, although the death of a slave in the palace that is not a rare thing, but this girl has been followed by the mother consort, and now died for nothing, the mother consort since the heartbroken.”

“I understand.” Mu Zi Yan said in a low voice.

“The weight of that girl in mother consort’s heart is the same as the weight of these two girls in sister-in-law’s heart.” Xuanyuan complex inevitably some annoyance, “mother consort has always been delicate in nature, now for this matter to cry non-stop, some time ago because of the crown prince’s brother to be married, so mother consort only convergence of some, this day again made a scene.”

“What did mother say” Mu Zi Yan looked at him and asked.

“Mother Mother can’t either.” Xuanyuan Complex looked at her and said, “Mother is a person who doesn’t like to lose her temper, and this will inevitably be bullied by some people.”

Mu Zi Yan can hear Xuanyuan complex mouth certain people should be the second prince’s birth mother, the noble consort.

She laughed lowly and said, “Since this matter is very important to Concubine Ren, it is self-evident that it should be investigated.”

“En.” Xuanyuan complex looked at Mu Zi Yan, her eyes flashed with a smile, “Sister-in-law, mother consort knows everything about you, especially about Princess Qing Li, she is full of praise for you, when you go, if mother consort does anything strange, sister-in-law don’t be alarmed.”

The corner of Mu Zi Yan’s mouth quirked, “Strange behavior”

“En.” Xuanyuan replied with a complex nod.

Mu Zi Yan was a bit frozen now, what strange behavior

After entering the palace, Mu Zi Yan went to the Empress first to ask for peace, to be explained after the intention, the Empress is promised, so they let Mu Zi Yan go.

Mu Zi Yan traveled to Empress Ren’s chambers, and when she arrived, she was guided into the main hall by the palace maid.

Xuanyuan複 followed at the side, and the two of them saluted respectfully since.

Mercy Concubine looks indeed charming, is also a rare beauty, no wonder Xuanyuan Complex will grow so beautiful, is completely inherited the beauty of Mercy Concubine, Mu Zi Yan looked at the Mercy Concubine’s demeanor, in looking at her eyes, then know that this Mercy Concubine is also an uncomplicated, but then look deeper, but also know that this Mercy Concubine does not have any malicious intent towards himself.

“So it is the Crown Princess.” Empress Ren said with a smile on her face, then she got up and marched to her, holding her hand and looking around before nodding her head in satisfaction, “It’s really a rare and lovely person.”

Mu Zi Yan turned her eyes to look at Xuanyuan Complex with his eyes downcast and a helpless look on his face, and she had no choice but to follow with a light smile.

Lady Renfei always held Mu Ziyan’s hand and refused to let go, then said, “This palace is relieved when the Crown Princess comes.”

“Your Highness, but let Zi Yan go and take a look” Mu Zi Yan asked in a low voice.

“Ai.” Concubine Ren could not hold back her tears, but always held Mu Zi Yan’s hand, and then said, “That girl has been with me for ten years, and did her best, how could she suddenly die? Now the body has not been buried, and is just placed in the honoring room.”

Mu Zi Yan nodded and responded, “Then Zi Yan will go to the honoring room to take a look.”

“How can this palace be assured of you going alone” Empress Ren said and took her hand, “This palace will go with you.”

“Yes.” Mu Zi Yan meekly responded, only looking at her hand still being held by Empress Ren, where there was no intention of letting go.

She raised her eyes to Regulus Complex and asked with a wink, “Sure is strange behavior.”

“Ahem.” Xuanyuan複 dropped his eyes and coughed, wailing in his heart.

Mu Zi Yan, however, could only do so, followed Empress Ren to the Ceremony Room, and when she arrived, the Chief Eunuch was already waiting, and hurriedly greeted her, saluting, “Slaves see Empress, Crown Princess, Sixth Highness.”

“Rise.” Lady Mercy said slowly.

“Yes.” The Chief Eunuch responded, then rose and bowed to stand aside.

Xuanyuan complexly stepped forward, “Where’s Bottle’s body”

“The lackey didn’t dare to move it, it’s still sitting there today.” The chief eunuch returned.

“Take it to see.” Xuanyuan complex at this moment straightened his back, his face was slightly cold, where there was that debauchery in front of her, still with a few points of arrogance and childish appearance.

Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly, “It’s really versatile.”

Empress Ren laughed, “The Emperor’s son has always been like this, don’t be offended by the Crown Princess.”

Mu Zi Yan turned her eyes to look at Empress Ren and said with a light smile, “The Sixth Highness’ nature has been good since.”

“The Crown Princess is indeed a person of nature.” Upon hearing this, Empress Ren was immediately overjoyed and her grip on Mu Zi Yan’s hand grew tighter and tighter.

Mu Zi Yan can only follow the smile, and so along with the eunuch chief into the inside, to the morgue, they saw a body flat, covered with white cloth, Mu Zi Yan went forward to open.

Empress Ren held her hand, “The Crown Princess can’t come forward, lest she wash away the joy.”

Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly and said, “The Empress is blessed with deep fortune, and with the Empress accompanying her, that joyful energy will not be washed away.”

“That’s true.” Concubine Ren’s heart was very ironic as she listened, so she no longer stopped, but she still held Mu Zi Yan’s hand and followed her forward as well.

That eunuch chief personally unveiled the white cloth, the body has already decayed to a certain extent, Mu Zi Yan went up to take a look, his brows knit tightly, Lady Ren Fei was so scared that her body was stunned shivering, and at that moment, she hid behind Mu Zi Yan.

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes and glanced at them before saying, “Sixth Highness, you first invite the Empress to rest.”

“En.” Xuanyuan complex went forward and looked at Empress Ren, “Mother consort, son help you out to rest.”

“No.” Empress Ren raised her eyes to look at Xuanyuan Complex, “This palace will wait here.”

Xuanyuan複 expressed his helplessness and raised his eyes to look at Mu Zi Yan, “Sister-in-law, this”

“Since the Empress wants to see it, it might as well be fine.” Mu Zi Yan said in a low voice while surveying the corpse.

Xuanyuan複接着说道，”The coroner came to see, but also

It has been done, but it has not been found out how it died.”

“Pallbearers,” Mu Zi Yan whispered, “what about the pallbearers”

“It was summoned from the government office, sister-in-law, but it was to be summoned,” Xuanyuan asked with a straight face.

“It’s not necessary.” Mu Zi Yan said indifferently, “Just bring over the records of his autopsy.”

“Then I will go and order it.” Xuanyuan complex said and turned to walk out.

Mu Zi Yan turned her eyes to look at Empress Ren and said in a low voice, “Empress, Zi Yan wants an autopsy, this hand”

“Oh.” Lady Renfei then responded, and then she let go, whispering, “This Palace is always unable to let go of people it likes to be close to.”

Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly and said, “It’s Zi Yan’s good fortune to be able to let Niang Niang get close.”

“Does the Crown Princess have any use for a lackey,” the chief eunuch asked from the sidelines.

“Go which a pair of white cloth gloves to come.” Mu Zi Yan said as she looked at him.

“Yes.” The Chief Eunuch responded and then went to order.

“Yun Xiang, bring the medicine box over.” Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes and looked at Yun Xiang and said.

“Yes.” Yunxiang answered, and then she carried the medicine box over.

After the chief eunuch brought the gloves and Mu Zi Yan put them on, she turned her eyes to look at Empress Ren, “Empress, can you step back a bit”

“Good.” When Lady Mercy answered, she took a few steps backward.

The palace maid behind her came forward to support her, and Mu Zi Yan then carefully examined her.

“By the looks of it, it’s been eight days since it died.” Mu Zi Yan said indifferently.

“Precisely.” Lady Mercy counted the days and hurriedly returned.

“According to the degree of decomposition, it should have died at midnight.” Mu Zi Yan looked at the Hall of Seals, as well as flipping the eyelids open, and then prying open the lips and teeth, every detail was not spared, this was handed over to her by Niangzi Lu, so she was considered to be doing it in a decent manner.

Xuanyuan複拿着验尸记录来，便看到慕梓烟正在验尸，他走上走上前，阵阵地恶臭味扑鼻而来，他不可抑制地皱皱眉头，转眸却看见怜妃娘看的很有趣。

He sighed helplessly before stepping forward, not daring to interrupt.

One hour later, Mu Ziyan finished checking, then raised his hand to take the autopsy record from Xuanyuan Teng’s hand after reading it, then said, “This coroner is a good one, but still young, some places are missing.”

“Sister-in-law, how did you know that the coroner was a young one” Xuanyuan complex looked at her in surprise.

“Handwriting.” Muzzy Smoke whispered, “Not strong enough.”

“Young indeed.” Xuanyuan replied in a low voice.

“Go out and say it.” Mu Zi Yan said with a bland face.

“Yes.” Xuanyuan複 answered and turned around, then helped Lady Ren to go out together.

The chief eunuch had already ordered someone to bring hot water, after Mu Zi Yan purified her hands, she then sat down in the main hall.

Muzzy Smoke continued, “She died of natural causes.”

“Ah,” Princess Ren asked, looking up at her in disbelief, “how can that be”

“She should have heart palpitations before her body.” Mu Zi Yan said as she raised her eyes to look at Empress Ren.

“It’s a heartache, the eunuchs have checked it.” Empress Ren nodded her head in response.

Mu Zi Yan continued, “Perhaps the shock was caused by keeping vigil for too long these past few hours.”

“Shock,” Regulus compounded, looking at her in obvious disbelief.

“Shock is when the heart temporarily stops beating.” Mu Zi Yan looked at him and said, “So if no one notices, they will die.”

“I see.” Xuanyuan complex looked at her and said, “Sister-in-law, then let’s say that Bottle died a normal death”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded and responded, “Indeed.”
