Mu Ziyan stood up slowly, and then stood on one side.
After a while, he saw two guards dragging a palace maid forward.
She was covered with bruises, and she must have been tortured.
Mu Ziyan looked at her carefully and saw that her eyes were tightly closed, and the breath could not come out.
She was dying and would not live long.
The queen said in a deep voice, "This servant is so bold and dares to attack the little princess.
It seems that I have always been too lenient to you."
The queen Mu Ziyan saw was dignified and kind, but the queen she saw now was as cold as ice, showing off her majesty.
She lowered her eyes and stood to one side, knowing clearly that the queen was trying to scare others.
The palace maid was lying on the ground but she still had the energy to speak.
The other concubines lowered their eyes and said nothing.
Their expressions did not show much fear, but looked very calm.
Mu Ziyan naturally understood that at this time, they behaved more and more calmly.
After all, those who can sit here have tried their best to leave today.
Who doesn't have some blood on their hands?
.
The queen said sternly, "Pluck off this slave's fingers one by one."
"Yes."
The guard on the side received the order, bent down, and pulled hard.
The palace maid screamed in pain, and saw the fingers being pulled out one by one.
Mu Ziyan had seen bloody scenes, so he acted extremely calm, but there were some people here who had never seen it before, and even if they had killed people, they would not do it like this.
Concubine Zhuo held her handkerchief and closed her eyes, not daring to look.
Concubine Lian shrank even more when she saw this.
Mu Ziyan happened to be standing next to her, so she turned her head and held Mu Ziyan's hand tightly. .
Mu Ziyan didn't dare to move and just let Concubine Lian hold her.
The queen's expression remained unchanged until the palace maid died of pain and her ten fingers were pulled out one by one.
Then the queen said in a deep voice, "Drag her out and hang her in the palace to be exposed to the sun for ten days." ” "Yes."
The guard took the order and dragged the palace maid down.
The queen glanced coldly at the concubines sitting on both sides.
The smell of blood was still permeating the hall.
Some of the lower-ranking ones covered their lips to hold back, for fear of spitting out, but they did not dare to speak out at this moment.
The queen's eyes flashed coldly, and she said in a deep voice, "I will definitely investigate this matter.
If I know who is behind this, my slave will only suffer a light fate."
"Yes."
The concubines were immediately frightened and responded in a low voice.
The queen turned to look at Mu Ziyan, "Yan'er, I will leave it to you to thoroughly investigate the matter of the little princess falling into the lake.
This is my phoenix seal.
Anyone who dares to interfere with it will be punished without mercy. " "Yes."
Mu Ziyan knew the queen's love for the little princess.
Even though the queen herself was poisoned, she had never been so angry.
She took the phoenix seal with both hands, and the queen stood up and left the hall.
All the concubines stood up and bowed, and when the queen left, everyone dispersed.
Concubine Lian stepped forward and grabbed Mu Ziyan's hand, "Crown Princess."
Mu Ziyan looked at Concubine Lian, "Your Majesty, this is" "Can you come with me for a walk?"
Concubine Lian asked in a low voice.

"Yes."
Mu Ziyan nodded and followed Concubine Lian out of the Queen's Palace.
Concubine Zhuo saw Concubine Lian and Mu Ziyan walking so close, her eyes flashed with a faint light, and she turned around and returned to her bedroom.
Concubine Lian did not sit down, but held Mu Ziyan's hand tightly and walked forward.
After walking for a while, she said, "The little princess is the queen's heart.
Like the prince, she was damaged for no reason.
I'm afraid He was frightened a lot, and I heard that he still hasn’t woken up yet.
The Crown Princess must find out about this matter.”
Mu Ziyan nodded and said, "Yes."
Concubine Lian continued, "This is my gift to you."
Mu Ziyan raised her hand to take it, and saw that it was a box with a token inside.
She whispered, "This thing is very important.
There will always be inconveniences after you enter the palace.
The water in the palace is deep." , you should be more careful."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Mu Ziyan didn't expect Concubine Lian to give her her palace card, and didn't know what to say.
Concubine Lian smiled slightly and said, "Princess, go and do your work."
"Yes."
Mu Ziyan nodded, then turned and left.
Concubine Lian watched Mu Ziyan leave with a smile, and then turned around and returned to her bedroom.
When Xuanyuan Fu saw her coming back, he stepped forward with a smile and said, "Mother concubine."
"What are you doing here at this time?"
Concubine Lian frowned slightly.
"My son misses his mother and concubine."
Xuanyuan Fu replied with a smile.
Concubine Lian sighed, "It's not like you don't know the rules in this palace.
It's chaotic right now, and you're here to make it more chaotic."
"My son is just worried about his mother and concubine."
Xuanyuan Fu supported Concubine Lian, feeling a little aggrieved.
Concubine Lian whispered, "Don't worry, I'm not someone who can be easily plotted."
"Concubine, please leave this matter to your sister-in-law."
Xuanyuan Fu looked at her and asked.
"The Queen is also trying to knock the mountain to shake the tiger."
Concubine Lian sighed and said, "It is best to leave this matter to the Crown Princess."
"That's true."
Xuanyuan Fu raised his eyebrows and said, "Sister-in-law is a smart person."
"A woman who is too smart is not a good thing after all."
Concubine Lian said quietly.
"Concubine, what do you mean?"
Xuanyuan Fu felt that only such a smart woman could be worthy of the crown prince and brother.
Concubine Lian looked at him and said, "As long as the woman you are looking for in the future is well-behaved, she won't get too much attention.
I just hope you can be safe."
"Yes."
Xuanyuan Fu lowered his eyes and replied.
"There is Princess Minglan, who is not a good match for you.

Prince Li's thoughts are unpredictable.
The identity of Princess Minglan is also unknown.
It would be better for you to avoid provoking her less."
Concubine Lian looked at him and said, "The Crown Princess is a She is very thoughtful, but after all, there are differences between men and women.
You should be less close to her in the future to avoid getting into trouble. " "Mother and concubine, the prince and brother will not misunderstand."
Xuanyuan Fu said helplessly.
"But what about the others?"
Concubine Lian whispered, "There's no guarantee that there won't be any gossip."
Gossip
.
"
"My son has taken note of it," Xuanyuan Fu replied, lowering his eyes.
"I think the young lady from Mrs.
Li's family is good.
She is gentle, virtuous, and knows how to advance and retreat.
Only such a woman is suitable for you."
Concubine Lian looked at him and said.
"Mother," Xuanyuan Fu approached her and said, "Son, I don't want to be too hasty."
"You have reached the marriageable age.
Even if you don't want to, the emperor will make the decision.
It's better for you to make a decision first, lest the emperor points out something unsatisfactory to you and hurts your feelings."
Concubine Lian patted him. hand and said, "Perhaps you already have something you like?"
"I" Xuanyuan Fu hid his eyes slightly and whispered, "No."
"Zhizi is more like a mother.
Don't force things that shouldn't be forced.
Do you understand?"
Concubine Lian sighed and said, "Since you have no chance, don't ask for it.
I know your temperament.
There are too many helpless things in this world.
You can't go astray."
"Son, please remember your mother and concubine's teachings."
Xuanyuan Fu was shocked.
He had never shown it.
How could his mother and concubine know about it?
Concubine Lian patted his hand gently, "Go ahead.
It's better not to come here during these days.
The prince is not here and the princess has to be busy in the palace.
You'd better not get involved."
"Yes."
Xuanyuan Fu lowered his eyes and responded, then retreated.
Concubine Lian sighed and could only shake her head helplessly.
Mu Ziyan was currently in the Queen's palace.
The side hall was reserved for the little princess.
A few days ago, the little princess happened to be away from the palace.
She had only returned in the past few days.

Unexpectedly, she was assassinated.
It was right for the Queen to be angry. of.
Mu Ziyan stepped forward to feel the little princess's pulse, and then said, "My body is cold and I need to rest."
The queen nodded and said, "Yan'er, this matter must be investigated clearly.
This palace will not allow such a scourge to stay in the palace."
"Yes."
Mu Ziyan lowered her eyes and responded, knowing that the queen was furious.
Mu Ziyan turned to look at the little princess Xuanyuan Qingqing, who was only eight years old now and was lying pale.
Her appearance was somewhat similar to that of Xuanyuan Ye, and she looked really endearing.
The queen's eyes turned to frost, she was obviously still angry about this matter, but she couldn't hide her distress and worry.
Mu Ziyan exited the palace and went to the place where the little princess fell into the lake.
Yunxiang and Biyun followed beside her.
After all, they were in the palace and did not dare to say anything.
She raised her eyes and looked at the lake in front of her, thinking that the palace maid was dead, where could she find other clues?
Yunxiang walked forward and said, "Miss, I want to go and take a look inside the palace maid's room."
"No."
Mu Ziyan waved her hands, "I'm afraid I won't be able to find anything."
"That" Yunxiang didn't know how to investigate.
Mu Ziyan was silent for a moment, "Let's go to each palace."
"Yes."
Yunxiang responded, and followed Mu Ziyan to the imperial concubine's bedroom first.
The imperial concubine seemed to know that she would come, so she was waiting for her.
After she entered, the imperial concubine just smiled lightly and said, "The crown princess has found out that I am here."
"I disturbed the noble concubine."
Mu Ziyan replied with lowered eyes.
"It doesn't matter, the Crown Princess is free to do whatever she wants."
The imperial concubine said calmly.
"Yes."
Mu Ziyan casually walked around the imperial concubine's palace and left the imperial concubine's palace without saying anything.
Immediately afterwards, Mu Ziyan returned to the queen's palace.
It was already the second watch, so it was not convenient to continue.
Waiting until the next day, Mu Ziyan first went to the queen's palace to pay her respects, and then waited for other concubines to pay their respects, and then followed Concubine Zhuo to her palace.
Concubine Zhuo looked at Mu Ziyan with a smile, and whispered, "But what was found?"
"Not yet."
Mu Ziyan whispered.
"Prince Concubine, please be more careful."
Concubine Zhuo said with a smile.
Mu Ziyan smiled lightly and said, "Of course I want it."
After Mu Ziyan came out of Concubine Zhuo's bedroom, a cold light flashed in her eyes.
"Miss, this Concubine Zhuo is also arrogant."
Yunxiang whispered.
"It doesn't matter."
Mu Ziyan said calmly, "Go on."
"Yes."
Yunxiang responded, and then Mu Ziyan went to the other concubines' bedrooms and didn't come back until late at night.

Yunxiang was a little puzzled, "Miss, why did you go to your queen's palace?"
"Just hanging around."
Mu Ziyan said calmly.
"This" Yunxiang looked at her, but she couldn't guess the intention here.
"In your opinion, who is possible?"
Mu Ziyan looked at her and said.
"The noble concubine and the concubine Zhuo."
Yunxiang whispered.
"Oh" Mu Ziyan raised her eyebrows, "Why?"
"I can't tell you, my servant.
It's just that in this harem, only Concubine Zhuo and Concubine Zhuo can pose a threat to the Queen."
After Yunxiang said that, she lowered her eyes, for fear that she might make a mistake.
Mu Ziyan smiled lightly and said, "None of them are."
"Who could that be?"
Yunxiang was confused.
Mu Ziyan's lips curled up slightly, "Then who do you think is the least likely?"
"Fei Lian."
Yunxiang said directly.
"Except Concubine Lian?"
Mu Ziyan continued to ask.
"This slave only thinks that everyone is suspicious."
Yunxiang looked at her and said.
"This matter is inherently weird."
Mu Ziyan said in a low voice, "That maid is the personal maid in front of the little princess.
Why would she betray the little princess?"
"This," Yunxiang continued, "received the benefits."
"What benefits are so tempting?"
Mu Ziyan continued to ask.
"This slave doesn't know."
Yunxiang lowered her eyes and replied.
"In this harem, in addition to freedom, there are rights."
Mu Ziyan looked at her and said.
"Rights" Yunxiang finally realized, "I understand, my slave.
Someone must have promised the palace maid a bright future."
"There is another possibility."
Biyun said at this moment.
"Tell me about it."
Mu Ziyan said calmly.
"Then the palace maid is having an affair with someone."
Biyun whispered.
Biyun said in a low voice.
Mu Ziyan smiled lightly and said, "Then who did you have an affair with?"
"This" Biyun shook his head and said, "I don't know this."
Mu Ziyan looked at Yun Xiang, "Did you notice anything unusual when you saw the palace maid yesterday?"
"This slave is stupid."

Yunxiang lowered her eyes and said.
Mu Ziyan smiled slightly and said, "Think about it carefully."
"Yes."
Yunxiang recalled it carefully.
When Biyun thought of that bloody scene, she couldn't help but tremble, and as if she had a flash of inspiration, "Miss, I remember this."
"What?"
Mu Ziyan looked at Biyun and asked.
"When the palace maid was wailing in pain, she was struggling, and the servant seemed to see teeth marks on her exposed chest."
Biyun looked at her and said.
"Tooth mark" Mu Ziyan looked at Biyun, "You girl are looking at something different."
"This slave only saw it accidentally."
After hearing Mu Ziyan's words, Biyun's face suddenly turned red and she lowered her eyes.
Yun Xiang whispered, "My slave saw a bracelet on her wrist.
The bracelet is bright and shiny, and it must not be ordinary."
"Yes."
Mu Ziyan continued, "There are teeth marks on the chest, and there is something strange about the bracelet, too."
"Miss, do you want to start with the origin of her bracelet?"
Biyun asked carefully.
"That bracelet could also be a gift from the master."
Mu Ziyan waved her hands and said, "If not, then it was given by someone else.
In order to cover up the evidence, that person will definitely take the bracelet away.
Yunxiang, go and take a look."
"Yes."
Yunxiang responded, then retreated.
Biyun looked at her and said, "Miss, what if the bracelet is missing?"
"Then we need to see who contacted her after her death."
Mu Ziyan said lightly.
"My slave understands."
Biyun responded with lowered eyes.
Mu Ziyan smiled lightly and said, "As long as you understand."
After a while, Yun Xiang lowered her head and entered, "Miss, the bracelet is missing."
"Yes."
Mu Ziyan responded calmly, "Biyun, you know what to do."
"My slave, go right away."
Biyun said and hurried out.
Yunxiang raised her eyes and looked at her, "Miss, if that person is found, the murderer will naturally be found."
"Yes."
Mu Ziyan nodded in response.
"But I'm worried that the person behind this will eliminate all evidence, including that person."
Yunxiang continued.
"What you said makes sense, but it's just trying to hide the truth."
Mu Ziyan said lightly.
"My servant understands that the palace maid must have had an affair with someone before she did something to harm the little princess.
And the person who had an affair with the palace maid was sent by the main envoy.
If he is really dead, even though he is Killing someone to silence him and covering up the evidence actually confirmed the eldest lady’s suspicion," Yun Xiang said in a low voice.

"Not bad."
Mu Ziyan nodded and responded, "It seems that you and Biyun are ready to start training."
"Miss, I don't dare," Yunxiang replied with a slight smile.
When Biyun came back, there was a gloomy expression on her face, "Miss, I have found that person.
He is the guard who tortured the palace maid yesterday."
"Where is the person?"
Mu Ziyan asked in a low voice.
"My slave has sent someone to look for her, saying she is missing."
Biyun lowered his eyes and replied.
"Miss, it's true."
Yunxiang continued, "Since he's gone, it seems that the odds are against him."
"This person must be found.
Send someone to search all the wells and ponds in the palace."
Mu Ziyan said coldly.
"Yes."
Yunxiang responded and immediately went to give the order.
Mu Ziyan sat down and was silent for a moment, then said, "Go and take a look inside the guard's room."
"Yes."
Biyun responded.
Mu Ziyan stood up and walked out.
When she arrived at the resting place of the guard, she paced back and forth.
After checking, her eyes moved slightly, "Go and move the box."
"Yes."
Biyun responded, and ordered the guards behind him to step forward and move the box away.
Mu Ziyan stepped forward, then stepped on the bluestone floor under her feet, then lowered her eyes to the side, and then gently pressed a raised piece on the side of the floor.
She saw that the floor in front of her suddenly moved.
She lowered her eyes.
Looking, I saw a secret passage.
Biyun's eyes moved slightly, "Miss, this" "Go in and take a look."
Mu Ziyan said calmly.
"Yes."
Biyun lowered his eyes and followed Mu Ziyan into the secret passage.
Mu Ziyan walked forward along the secret passage until she reached the exit.
After going up, she happened to be at the lake where the little princess was killed.
She raised her eyebrows lightly, and then said, "Go to the lake to fish for someone."
"Yes."
Several guards behind him quickly jumped into the lake.
After a while, the person was really caught, it was the guard who had an affair with the palace maid.
Mu Ziyan's eyes flashed with a faint light, and she lowered her eyes.
Seeing that the guard was still holding the bracelet in his arms, she sneered, and then ordered someone to carry the body back.
Yunxiang came over, lowered her eyes and said, "Miss, this" "Let's go back first."
Mu Ziyan said calmly.
"Yes."
Yunxiang responded, and then followed Mu Ziyan back to the queen's palace.
"Miss, you said that the guard was not having an affair with the palace maid?"
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Yunxiang looked at her in surprise and asked.
"No."
Mu Ziyan whispered, "If it were you, you would destroy it immediately after getting the bracelet.
How could you keep it in your arms?"
"What if it's not too late?"
Biyun asked in a low voice.
"Look at what that man is wearing."
Mu Ziyan continued.
"The clothes he is wearing are still the official uniforms of the guards.
He must not have returned to his residence yet.
In this case, it is not because he is too late.
The slave asked that he left his duty very early last night, so he has not returned within this period of time.
It cannot be that it is too late.
Destroy it."
Yunxiang looked at her and said.
"That's right."
Mu Ziyan nodded and responded, "Since it wasn't him, then it was , then it was someone he knew well who killed him and put the blame on him. " "Who could that person be?"
Yunxiang asked puzzledly.
"Of course it was the person who was in the room at that time."
Mu Ziyan said in a low voice.
"Inside the room" Yunxiang pondered for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at her, with a flash of light in his eyes, "Miss, I understand."
"What do you understand?"
Mu Ziyan asked with a smile.
"Because of that secret passage, after he killed someone, he had evidence of alibi."
Yunxiang looked at her and said.
"Smart."
Mu Ziyan responded with a smile, "Go and find out who was in the house last night."
"Yes."
Yunxiang responded, then retreated.
Biyun pondered for a moment and finally came to his senses.
He raised his eyes and looked at Mu Ziyan, "Miss, the murderer is really smart."
"Let's wait until we find it."
Mu Ziyan said calmly.
"Yes."
Biyun responded in a low voice.
After a while, Yunxiang rushed back and whispered, "Miss, that person is dead."
"As expected."
Mu Ziyan said with a smile, "Go and have a look."
"Yes."
Yunxiang lowered her eyes and replied, and then went to the guard's resting place.
When she entered, she saw that the guard was dead and lying on the ground.
"Miss, it seems that the clue has been broken again."
Yunxiang sighed faintly.
Mu Ziyan smiled lowly and said, "No."
"Ah" Yunxiang looked at her puzzled.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Mu Ziyan stood up with a slight smile, "Let's go and carry the body out."
"Yes."
Yunxiang responded and left with Mu Ziyan.
When Mu Ziyan returned to the queen's palace and learned that the little princess was awake, she entered the side hall and met the little princess.
Xuanyuan Qingqing rolled her eyes.
Just by this movement, she knew that she was an eccentric girl.
She leaned forward, and when she saw Mu Ziyan, she said enthusiastically, "Sister-in-law."
Mu Ziyan smiled slightly and said, "The little princess knows me."
"Brother Huang often mentions my sister-in-law in front of me, and I even stole many of my sister-in-law's portraits."
Xuanyuan Qingqing said with a smile.
Mu Ziyan couldn't help but laugh, thinking that Xuanyuan Ye was really showing off everywhere, for fear that others would not know that she was his.
Xuanyuan Qingqing looked at Mu Ziyan and clapped her hands quickly, "Sister-in-law, please wait for me."
"Little princess, don't move."
Mu Ziyan quickly stopped her.
"I'm in good health.
It's okay."
Xuanyuan Qingqing got off the bed as she said that, put on her shoes and quickly ran to the tall cabinet not far away.
After opening it, she nodded and took out a small box, holding it in her arms.
He turned around, walked to her, and handed the box to her, "Sister-in-law, this is your portrait that I stole.
Brother Huang always said that I look like my sister-in-law when she was a child."
Mu Ziyan smiled lightly, and then took the box.
After opening it, she saw that the drawings inside were all about her appearance when she was three years old.
There were also many pictures of her growing up, four and five years old.
Until now, the ones between the ages of three and ten were all based on other people's drawings.
He imitated the drawings.
As for the others, they were all drawn after meeting her.
Mu Ziyan looked down at it, then carefully put it away, "It seems that the little princess is no stranger to me."
"That's natural."
Xuanyuan Qingqing looked at her and said, "Sister-in-law, just call me Qingqing, or sister, I prefer."
Mu Ziyan smiled lowly and said, "That's good, sister."
"Sister-in-law is so refreshing, I like it very much."
Xuanyuan Qingqing said with a smile, and immediately grabbed Mu Ziyan's hand and wouldn't let go.
Mu Ziyan was slightly startled, wondering if this was the custom of the Beiqing Kingdom.
If you like someone, you will hold your hand and not let go of Concubine Lian.
This is the case with Xuanyuan Qingqing now.
Xuanyuan Qingqing didn't care, but held Mu Ziyan's hand and smiled brightly at her.
Mu Ziyan smiled and said, "I also like my sister's temperament."
"Haha."
Xuanyuan Qingqing looked up at her and turned around to see the queen slowly approaching.
She naturally held Mu Ziyan's hand and let go, smiling brightly at the queen, "Mother."
"You make such a fuss when you wake up."
The queen's tone sounded reproachful, but it was endearing.
Looking at the queen like this, Mu Ziyan thought of her mother and stood there and saluted respectfully.
The queen looked at her and said with a smile, "Yan'er, this girl likes you very much."
"Mother, my sister is very popular."

Mu Ziyan responded with a smile, "My wife also likes her very much."
"That's good."
The queen responded with a smile, "She just happened to be back.
After the matter is found out, I will let you go back to the East Palace to stay for a few days, so that I can save my worries."
"Yes."
Mu Ziyan responded in a low voice.
When Xuanyuan Qingqing heard that she was going to the East Palace, she was so happy that she quickly got up from the bed and threw herself into the queen's arms, "The queen is the best."
When Mu Ziyan looked at Xuanyuan Qingqing like this, her own childhood appearance came to mind.
She seemed to be so lively and cute.
Xuanyuan Qingqing's temperament was indeed very similar to hers when she was a child.
Mu Ziyan sighed secretly, but unfortunately, now she has lost that part of her innocence and liveliness, and such times can only remain in her memory.
The queen was overjoyed when she saw that she finally had energy, and she hugged her without letting go.
Mu Ziyan came out of the bedroom and turned to look at Yun Xiang, "Have you found out?"
"It was found out."
Yunxiang whispered, "After the eldest lady left, someone secretly approached the guard."
"Who?"
Mu Ziyan asked in a low voice.
"Yes," Yun Xiang said.
Mu Ziyan narrowed her eyes and snorted coldly, "It is indeed her."
Yunxiang whispered, "Miss, what should we do about this matter?"
"Lue the snake out of the hole."
Mu Ziyan turned to look at Yunxiang and whispered, "I remember clearly."
"Yes."
Yunxiang lowered her eyes and replied, "I will take care of it now."
"Go."
Mu Ziyan said calmly.
The queen stepped forward at this moment, Mu Ziyan In front of me, Mu Ziyan saluted respectfully, "My daughter-in-law is here to see my mother."
"But what was found?"
the queen looked at her and asked.
"Yes."
Mu Ziyan whispered, "I have some clues."
"Yes."
The queen continued, "The reason why I asked you to investigate this matter thoroughly is because I want you to establish your authority in the harem."
"My wife understands."
Mu Ziyan knew that the queen wanted her to be a more stable princess.
After all, her identity had been criticized, and the voices of dissatisfaction with her in the court were not affected by Xuanyuan Ye's prestige.
And completely eliminating it will lead to a decline and a gain.
The Queen whispered, "For you to marry from Dayan to Beiqing and leave your family, Ye'er will always feel uneasy.
He will give you an explanation when things go smoothly."
Mu Ziyan raised his eyes and looked at her, "Thank you, Queen Mother."
"You are a lovely child."
The Queen Mother held her hand and said, "I can rest assured that I will leave Ye'er to you."
"It is my blessing that my mother loves my daughter-in-law so much."
Mu Ziyan lowered her eyes and replied.
"Silly boy."

The queen said with a smile, "I have experienced too many things over the years.
In the end, I just want my child to be happy.
You are a good child, and I believe you will treat Ye'er well."
"Don't worry, Queen."
Mu Ziyan responded in a low voice.
"Okay, go ahead."
The queen let go of her hand and said lovingly.
"Yes."
Mu Ziyan immediately retreated.
After Mu Ziyan left, the queen turned around to see Xuanyuan Qingqing.
Mu Ziyan raised her eyes and looked at the palace in front of her.
It turned out that her ecstasy just now was noticed by the queen.
Such a woman must have been a fascinating person in the past.
Where did she and the queen come from?
Why did they both Became a queen One is dead and the other is alive.
However, Jun Qianyu and Xuanyuan Ye were both poisoned.
She couldn't figure it out.
She only felt that the truth of these things would be revealed one day.
However, she felt even more that the Queen's words today were always a bit strange.
Last words.
When she thought like this, she couldn't help but feel a little panicked.
Could it be that this was really the case?
She knew the deep mother-son love between Xuanyuan Ye and the Queen.
If something happened to the Queen at this time, he would definitely feel guilty and regretful.
Her eyes sank slightly, and she entered the side hall and whispered, "Yun Fei."
"Yes."
Yunfei immediately landed.
Mu Ziyan looked at him, "Can you help me protect the Queen in secret?"
"Okay."
Yunfei nodded and then walked away.
Mu Ziyan still felt a little uneasy, and then she whispered, "Yinyi, go check and see if there is any other movement in the palace these days."
"Yes."
Yin Yi lowered his eyes and replied.
Mu Ziyan lowered her eyes and looked at the box she was holding in her arms.
There were all the portraits he had drawn of her.
She touched them with her fingertips and said, "I will guard my mother for you."
She turned around and left the side hall.
Yunxiang had returned, lowered her eyes and said, "Miss, the arrangements have been made."
"Okay."
Mu Ziyan nodded and responded, "Now we just need to be patient and wait."
"Yes."
Yunxiang responded and said no more.
The next day, Mu Ziyan accompanied Xuanyuan Qingqing as if nothing had happened.
Only then did she realize that Xuanyuan Ye told her many things about herself.
Every time she thought about herself, she would talk to Xuanyuan Qingqing.

When she listened to Xuanyuan Qingqing talking about him vividly, there was a smile on her face.
"Sister-in-law, you don't know that when the emperor was suffering from the poison, he would hang your portraits all over the house and look at them over and over again.
He said that only in this way could he survive."
Xuanyuan Qingqing sat cross-legged and held up one hand Hold your lower jaw, He patted her shoulder, "I really felt sorry for Brother Huang at that time, and I wanted to rush to Dayan to bring you back.
But Brother Huang said that he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to survive and you would be sad, so he treated you But not a word was mentioned.”
Mu Ziyan was stunned, and she asked in a low voice, "Is he in pain?"
"Yes."
Xuanyuan Qingqing said, "I have seen the emperor's poisonous hair since I was sensible.
The first time I saw it, I was so frightened that I cried.
I cried for three days, but the emperor still didn't recover.
Later, the emperor's brother Then she would tell me interesting things about my sister-in-law, In this way, I stayed with Brother Huang, and as I listened, I saw Brother Emperor gradually come over.
In fact, Brother Emperor almost couldn't survive this time, but after hearing the news that you were given a marriage, he managed to survive, and It’s okay, it’s really incredible.”
Mu Ziyan's eyes were moist and she held Xuanyuan Qingqing's hand tightly.
He was suffering such pain alone, but she didn't know anything.
She suddenly remembered that when she first met him, he was Chu Ye, and then he changed Chengjun Qianyu, but in front of her, he never showed the slightest hint of anything.
He was aloof from her, but he always appeared in front of her when she was in the most difficult time.
However, she was at a loss when he was showing off his poison.
Xuanyuan Qingqing sighed, "Sister-in-law, the one the emperor talks about most in front of me is you.
Now that you have become my sister-in-law, you must take good care of the emperor in the future."
Mu Ziyan looked down at her, raised his hand and pinched her nose, "You are quite eloquent at such a young age."
"That's natural."
Xuanyuan Qingqing said, "It's a pity that I almost died this time.
It's only because of my carelessness."
Seeing her muttering, Mu Ziyan couldn't help but laugh, "You are really careless."
"Sister-in-law, have you found the murderer?"
Xuanyuan Qingqing looked at her and asked.
"Soon."
Mu Ziyan whispered, "I will take good care of you in the future."
"Okay."
Xuanyuan Qingqing said proudly, "Brother Huang said that after my sister-in-law sees me, she will definitely love me as much as Brother Huang does."
"He knows everything."
Mu Ziyan couldn't help but sigh, what kind of deep love made him feel so free of regrets for her?
She never knew that there was another person in this world who loved her so much, but what had he experienced in his previous life?
Why did he and her miss each other?
Missed it She suddenly wanted to know what kind of torture he had endured in his previous life, and whether he would come to her like he did in this life.
Mu Ziyan didn't dare to think deeply.
She lowered her eyes and held Xuanyuan Qingqing in her arms, whispering, "I will treat him well."
"I will also treat my sister-in-law well."
Xuanyuan Qingqing said with a smile.
Mu Ziyan smiled slightly and nodded, "Okay."
It was late at night, and Mu Ziyan was leaning against the window.
She didn't know what was going on with Xuanyuan Ye.
She missed him.
"Miss, there is something going on."
Yunxiang lowered her eyes and said.

"Let's go."
Mu Ziyan came back to her senses, collected her thoughts, and walked out of the side hall.
When they reached the rockery not far away, they saw two people being pushed to the ground.
Mu Ziyan took a look and said, "Take them back."
"Yes."
The guard responded, and then took the two men back.
The Queen has heard the commotion and is sitting in the main hall at the moment.
Mu Ziyan entered the hall and whispered, "Mother, the murderer has been caught."
"Yes."
The queen nodded and looked up at the two people kneeling on the ground.
Mu Ziyan said coldly, "Raise your head."
"Don't lift it up yet."
Xuanyuan Qingqing said in a deep voice as she came in from the side hall.
The two guards on the side raised their heads.
The queen took a look and said, "Who is the mastermind behind this?"
"Hey, aren't you from the second sister's palace?"
Xuanyuan Qingqing looked at the palace maid kneeling in front of her and asked in surprise.
"It turns out it's her."
The queen's eyes sank, "Inform the masters of each palace and invite the emperor to come over."
"Yes."
The nanny on the side responded, and then exited the hall.
Mu Ziyan raised her eyes to look at the queen and whispered, "Empress, I have evidence."
"We'll see about Yan'er later."
The queen said in a low voice.
"Sister-in-law, are you really saying that Second Sister wants to harm me?"
Xuanyuan Qingqing looked up at Mu Ziyan, her eyes filled with astonishment, and then became a little sad, "How could Second Sister treat me like this?"
Looking at Xuanyuan Qingqing like this, Mu Ziyan suddenly remembered her past life.
She had the same look when she learned that the second sister she loved was the one who ruined her reputation.
She hugged Xuanyuan Qingqing and said, "Sister, be careful in the future."
"Yes."
Xuanyuan Qingqing nodded in response and leaned into Mu Ziyan's arms, unable to calm down for a while.
Mu Ziyan patted her back gently, letting her gradually calm down.
After she calmed down, Xuanyuan Qingqing left her arms and went to the queen's place, "Mother."
"Come here."
The queen opened her arms and said softly.
Xuanyuan Qingqing stepped forward obediently and leaned into the queen's arms.
Mu Ziyan looked at it and felt her heart aching.
Her mother felt so sorry for her back then.
She lowered her eyes and looked coldly until the concubines from each palace came one after another, along with the concubines from each palace.
The princesses also arrived, and when the emperor arrived, the hall was filled with people.
The guards and palace maids were kneeling in the hall, trembling with fear.
At this time, the imperial concubine raised her eyes and glanced at the two people kneeling in the main hall, and whispered, "This palace maid looks like she belongs to Princess Qingyan's palace."
When Concubine Zhuo saw it, she was extremely surprised.
She looked at the palace maid in disbelief, and then looked at Princess Qingyan who was looking down silently, but her eyes were lowered but revealed a biting coldness.
Mu Ziyan took a real look.

She curled her lips and sneered.
Concubine Zhuo was really indifferent to Princess Qingyan.
When the emperor heard what the imperial concubine said, his eyes slightly frowned, "Could it be that Qingyan did this?"
"Father."
Xuanyuan Qingqing looked at the emperor aggrievedly, with tears in her eyes.
Seeing Xuanyuan Qingqing's expression, the emperor's face became more and more gloomy.
His generous palms gently covered Xuanyuan Qingqing's head and whispered, "You have just recovered from a serious illness.
Come to my father's place.
Don't be tired anymore." ”
"Yes, Father."
Xuanyuan Qingqing has her own way of treating the emperor.
Among the many princesses, she is the most favored by the emperor.
Mu Ziyan looked at the cunning look in Xuanyuan Qingqing's eyes and lowered her eyes slightly, feeling that this girl was getting cuter and cuter.
"Father, my daughter has been wronged."
Princess Qingyan quickly stepped forward and knelt down, "My daughter would never do such a black-hearted thing."
"Now that everyone is here, Your Majesty, I will leave this matter to Yan'er for thorough investigation.
Now that the murderer has been caught, let Yan'er talk about it."
The queen turned to look at the emperor and whispered.
"Okay."
The emperor raised his eyes and glanced at Mu Ziyan, then lowered his eyes at Xuanyuan Qingqing, who was leaning in his arms and looked aggrieved and pitiful, and responded in a deep voice.
