Chapter 324 The Death of Concubine Hui and the First Showdown (5)
The emperor did not expect Concubine Hui to have such vicious thoughts, but what he didn't understand was, why did she deal with Mu Ziyan?

The Queen Mother looked at Mu Ziyan, and said in a low voice, "Talk about your own judgment."

"Yes." Mu Ziyan expected that the Empress Dowager would push the matter to her, not because the Empress Dowager was unwilling to interrogate herself, but in the current situation, once the Empress Dowager mishandled it, the Zhong family and the forces behind the Zhong family would be implicated Well, the Zhong family has always supported the emperor. The power of the crown prince and the third prince is now balanced, and the current balance cannot be broken, otherwise, it will be detrimental to everyone.

It's just that Mu Ziyan knew that the Zhong family supported the emperor on the surface, but in fact they had already taken refuge with the third prince. Perhaps, the third prince was just a pawn in the hands of the Zhong family.

What Mu Ziyan doesn't understand is the huge power behind Zhong Xuan. She knows where Zhong Xuan came from, but it's impossible for a person to have such a big power right away, unless she came from farther than she imagined. be early.

Thinking of this, Mu Ziyan seemed to have fallen to the bottom of the valley. It seemed that Zhong Xuan was more powerful than she imagined, or even more unfathomable than what she knew in her previous life.

Mu Ziyan took a step forward, and said in a low voice, "Reporting to the Queen Mother, Concubine Hui did this, perhaps because of Concubine Yun."

"Her?" The Queen Mother looked at Mu Ziyan, wondering why she mentioned Concubine Yun for no reason.

"Back to the Empress Dowager, the murder of the Twelfth Prince was caused by Concubine Hui. When the accident happened to the Twelfth Prince, Concubine Hui was not at the dinner party. At that time, it happened that the minister's daughter and Sister Su were not there. Concubine Hui Worried about arousing suspicion, he staged a trick." Mu Ziyan said bluntly.

"If she did it on a whim, how can I explain the golden hairpin?" The queen mother asked coldly.

"This gold hairpin was given to my daughter by the third younger sister. My daughter doesn't know why the golden hairpin of Concubine Hui fell into the hands of the third younger sister. However, my daughter knows that sister Su's pastry was poisoned tonight." Mu Mu Zi Yan continued, "At that time, Sister Su ate the cake, and then handed it to my daughter. My daughter felt that the taste was a bit strange. The Queen Mother knew it. My daughter worshiped the doctor of the gods. These days, I also have a good relationship with Master. After learning some fur, I felt that the pastry was wrong, so I took Sister Su to leave together, let her spit out the pastry, and then went back, the pastry was replaced, and more importantly, after a while At this time, Sister Su felt dizzy and weak, and the servant did not dare to say anything, so she felt unwell, so we left with her and sat aside to rest for a while."

"You mean, Concubine Hui arranged for you to take the place of the dead ghost early in the morning?" the emperor said bluntly.

"This is just my daughter's guess." Mu Ziyan said in a low voice.

"What a Concubine Hui." The Empress Dowager said in a deep voice, "However, this assassin..."

The emperor turned to look at the queen mother, "Mother, let me think about this matter carefully."

"The mourning family is exhausted, you can handle the matter of Concubine Hui yourself." The queen mother waved her hand, and when she looked at Mu Ziyan, her eyes flashed with admiration, "Since the matter has come to an end, girl Yan has wronged you."

"The empress dowager and the emperor are aware of every detail, and the courtiers are not wronged." Mu Ziyan replied with downcast eyes.

"Stand back." The Queen Mother whispered.

"Your servant, please leave." Mu Ziyan and Su Qinrou knelt down to thank each other, and then withdrew.

After Mu Ziyan and Su Qinrou left, the Empress Dowager looked at the emperor, "This matter can't be a big deal. As for Concubine Hui, she can't be allowed to die."

"My child understands." The emperor is aware of the queen mother's temper, Xu is always by her side, so what the emperor hates the most is being tricked by others, remembering that Concubine Hui dared to do something to the twelve princes, and even used the queen mother to assassinate Mu Zi Smoke, a faint light flashed in his eyes, and he stepped out of the bedroom after he sent the queen mother off.

When Zhong Xuan learned that Mu Ziyan and Su Qinrou had left Yongshou Palace, she turned her eyes to Concubine Hui, "It seems that things have come to light."

"What?" Concubine Hui stood up abruptly, her face was pale, panic flashed in her eyes, "What should I do?"

"Auntie, don't blame me for being cruel." Zhong Xuan said coldly, and then gave the two court ladies a wink. The two court ladies stepped forward, poured the poison in the bottle into Concubine Hui's mouth, and then backed away go down.

Zhong Xuan looked at Concubine Hui and said in a low voice, "I'm doing this for your own good. If you fall into the hands of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, you will surely die, so why not let me send Auntie on her way."

Zhong Xuan narrowed her eyes, said coldly, then turned and left the bedroom.

Concubine Hui rolled from the bed and fell to the ground, her whole body was in pain, she wailed, her eyes widened and black blood spit from her mouth, she died on the spot.

After the emperor arrived, seeing Concubine Hui's death, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "It's a good deal for you."

"Your Majesty, it seems that someone is one step ahead." Zhang Xi said from the side.

"Hmph, it seems that there are too many restless people." The emperor raised his eyes and looked into the distance, "This Da Yan's country must not be defeated in my hands."

"Your Majesty, Concubine Hui..." Zhang Xi asked softly.

"Sudden death." After the emperor said, he stepped out of the palace.

"Yes." Zhang Xi replied, and went to do it on his own.

Mu Ziyan and Su Qinrou left the palace together, Su Qinrou let out a breath, and then sat in the carriage, "Sister Mu, it was so dangerous just now."

"You girl, I thought you were really not afraid?" Mu Ziyan joked when she saw her take out a silk handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead.

"How can you not be afraid?" Su Qin softly sighed, "Sister Mu, what you said just now is true?"

"What did you say?" Mu Ziyan asked lightly.

"Is Concubine Hui plotting against you?" Su Qinrou asked in bewilderment.

"Yes." Mu Ziyan nodded in response, "This is killing two birds with one stone."

"What a vicious mind, if you hadn't been more vigilant, I'm afraid you and I would have met Hades long ago." Su Qinrou patted her chest, "Just say I don't understand, why did Concubine Hui want to harm you?"

"This is a series of tricks, and Concubine Hui is just a pawn." Mu Ziyan turned her eyes to look at Su Qinrou and said, "Sister Su, you have to be more vigilant in the future. Zhong Xuan will take revenge. She lost this time. I will definitely make a comeback, maybe one day I will use you again to harm me."

"Sister Mu, I've made a note." Su Qinrou continued, "Why does Zhong Xuan insist on killing you?"

"I blocked her way." Mu Ziyan opened her lips lightly, "She doesn't allow herself to make any mistakes, but I sabotaged her plans one after another."

"What exactly is she going to do?" Su Qinrou was really puzzled that a little concubine could have such extraordinary abilities.

"You'll know in the future." Mu Ziyan turned her eyes to look at her, and said with a smile, "Now it's a rainy day, you go back and wash off your bad luck."

"Where is Concubine Hui?" Su Qinrou just felt the murderous aura emanating from the Queen Mother.

"Dead." Mu Ziyan said with a low smile, "Chess pieces are useless, and the end result is to shut up forever."

"Sister Mu, what you said made me a little scared." After all, Su Qinrou had never experienced such things, so she became a little terrified.

"You just have to remember that you must be on guard against others, and don't be impulsive in everything." Mu Ziyan said in a low voice, "Zhong Xuan won't do anything to you for the time being, she doesn't want to expose it yet."

"En." Su Qinrou nodded, and then held Mu Ziyan's hand tighter and tighter, "By the way, you are talking about serial tricks, so what is her purpose?"

"Using the crown prince to confront the Duke's mansion." Mu Ziyan said lightly, "I was careless."

"Isn't the Duke's Mansion very dangerous now?" Su Qinrou felt that the scheming matter was really complicated. She just wanted to be a lady of the standard quietly, but as a lady of an aristocratic family, she knew very well that such a Things will be faced sooner or later, it is better to face them earlier.

Mu Ziyan smiled lowly, "Did you forget what the Fifth Prince came to do just now?"

"It's hard to come by, the fifth prince now..." Su Qinrou looked at Mu Ziyan, "Sister Mu, why do I feel that there is such a tacit understanding between you and the fifth prince? He didn't say anything just now, and you don't care. Without even mentioning it, he can understand your mind."

Mu Ziyan didn't take it seriously, "It's just that everyone gets what they need, and he did it for himself."

"Sister Mu, why can't you accept him?" Su Qinrou couldn't help asking, it was really puzzling.

Mu Ziyan smiled lowly, "You forgot the flowers I asked sister Yiyi to pass on to you?"

"Okay, I don't want to mention it." Su Qinrou twitched her lips, "Anyway, we are still young."

"Yeah, you, just play well for another two years." Mu Ziyan smiled slightly.

Su Qinrou was so amused by Mu Ziyan, the fear in her heart gradually dissipated, but the carriage drove for a while, but suddenly stopped.

Mu Ziyan pressed Su Qinrou's hand, "Don't move around."

"What's going on?" Su Qinrou also felt that something was wrong, and asked carefully, but she didn't dare to move.

Mu Ziyan said in a low voice, "There are killers outside."

"Ah?" Su Qinrou quickly shrank her neck, "This is too bold."

"Let me take a look." Mu Ziyan protected Su Qinrou behind her, then opened the curtain of the car, and saw that there was no one outside, even the driver who was driving the car was gone, only the man in black was left.

Mu Ziyan sneered and said, "Third Highness, since you have done it, why should you be timid?"

"Haha." Jun Qianhao laughed loudly, and then walked to the carriage.

Su Qinrou showed astonishment, "Third...Third Highness?"

Mu Ziyan lifted the corner of the car curtain, and saw Jun Qianhao walking over, with Zhong Xuan standing beside him, a cold smile curled up on the corner of her mouth, looking at Mu Ziyan with a half-smile.

Mu Ziyan kept Su Qinrou behind her all the time, then bent down and walked out of the carriage, "Miss Zhong Er, you finally can't help it?"

"Ms. Mu is really smart." Zhong Xuan smiled strangely, and walked forward slowly, "Since I know, I can't stay, tonight is your death day."

Mu Ziyan said with a slight smile, "Miss Zhong Er, don't be too confident in everything. If you are too confident, you will have to pay a price."

"I'd like to see who else can save you now." Zhong Xuan said in a deep voice, then raised her hand, "Send Miss Mu on her way."

"Yes." The man in black next to him immediately pulled out the cold knife from his waist, and slowly approached Mu Ziyan.

Mu Ziyan didn't panic at all, but stood there indifferently, with a wicked smile on her lips, looked directly at Zhong Xuan, and said with a low smile, "Yan Wang dare not accept me tonight, but I am You can have fun with Miss Zhong Er."
