Distressed wife

Chapter 419 Congratulations to Yue as a Concubine (1)
The old lady of Pingxi County went back angrily, and Zhu Yue hurried over when she saw her come back.

"Grandmother." Seeing her pale face, Zhu Yue knew it was impossible.

She pondered secretly for a moment, "Grandmother, my granddaughter really doesn't want to live here, why don't you... let my granddaughter go back to Muhou Mansion for a few days, and then move in after buying a new house?"

"Muhou Mansion?" The old lady of Pingxi County narrowed her eyes coldly, "Do you think you can go back now?"

Zhu Yue raised his eyes and looked at her, "It's just that the children and granddaughters in this house really can't stay any longer, why don't the granddaughters go to the inn?"

"Okay, run out one by one, and only leave me, a widowed old woman, here?" The old lady of Pingxi County shouted angrily when she saw that Zhu Yue was determined to go out.

Zhu Yue said quickly, "Grandmother, calm down, my granddaughter is just afraid."

The old lady of Pingxi County looked at her, "Forget it, I will put on this old face and don't want it. You should get ready and go to Muhou's Mansion to stay for a few days."

"Yes." Zhu Yue quickly replied with a smile, and immediately ordered someone to clean it up.

The old lady of Pingxi County led Zhu Yue to Muhou Mansion.

As for Mu Ziyan's place, now she is free to go in and out of Jingzhao Yin's Yamen as Lu Erniang, and at the moment she is entering the government Yamen together with Zhang Zong, but she is thinking about another thing.

"What is my sister thinking?" Mrs. Lu saw her thinking and asked.

"This incident is a bit strange." Mu Ziyan put aside the hearsay memories from her previous life, but also forgot who the murderer was at that time, but the only thing that is certain is that the murderer must be someone from a prominent family background, and, it seems It seems to be someone from the prince's place.

She pondered carefully for a moment, then went inside, took out a pen and paper, and carefully wrote down the people at the prince's place one by one, then put down and stared at the names of those people.

Zhang Zong came forward and saw that she had written the name on a sheet of paper. He looked carefully, and doubts flashed in his eyes, "These are all important officials of the court, and they belong to the crown prince."

"En." Mu Ziyan nodded in response, then stared at the names of those people and looked again and again, "Who do you think is the least likely to kill someone among you?"

"He." Zhang Zong pointed to the name in the middle, "He has a weak temper and thinks highly of himself. Although he belongs to the prince's faction, he has never participated in party disputes. He is an outlier."

Mu Ziyan stared at the person's name, "Ji Fou."

"The servant of the household department." Zhang Zong looked at Mu Ziyan, "Yan'er, I didn't expect you to remember the court officials so clearly."

The reason why Mu Ziyan remembered it was also thanks to Leng Hanfeng in her previous life, in order to grasp the dynamics in the court, and specially asked her to collect the unknown hobbies of these officials. In addition, in this life, Mu Ziyan had to prepare in advance, so for The court officials are quite familiar with it.

Mu Ziyan raised her eyebrows, "Be a little more careful, isn't it right?"

"No." Zhang Zong really had a hard time associating Mu Ziyan with those ladies from aristocratic families in the boudoir, he just felt that if this girl was a man, she must be a generation of courtiers.

Mu Ziyan smiled slightly, "Brother Zhang, I know what you're thinking, but there are different kinds of people in this world, women should be kept in a deep boudoir and don't care about world affairs, but the most pitiful ones are women. , especially the women of the aristocratic family."

Zhang Zong nodded and replied, "You are right, but I am short-sighted."

Mu Ziyan said in a low voice, "Let's not talk about that now, this Ji Fou is a character."

"Could it be that Yan'er doubts him?" Zhang Zong looked at Mu Ziyan and said.

"He is in the Ministry of Household Affairs, and this status is able to grasp the trends in the capital well. He usually keeps a low profile and does not participate in any disputes, which does not mean that he is useless. Otherwise, how can the crown prince allow such people to stay by his side? ?" Mu Ziyan continued.

"You are right." Zhang Zong nodded in response.

"The more you look at harmless people, the easier it is to ignore." Mu Ziyan continued, "The cause of death of these women is also very strange."

"Yan'er, don't be a fool." Seeing that Mu Ziyan seemed to have found a difference, Zhang Zong said anxiously.

"I haven't thought of it yet." Mu Ziyan put away her pen and ink, turned around slowly, and after sitting down, poured a cup of hot tea slowly.

Seeing her like this, Zhang Zong could only smile helplessly, and then sat down with her. For a while, there was a brief silence in the study.

Mrs. Lu came in with snacks, seeing the two of them like this, she smiled and said, "Okay, let's eat something first."

"It's really a big case, and it happened at this stall. The emperor ordered me to solve the case within three days." Zhang Zong picked up a piece of pastry, took a bite, and swallowed it directly.

It is true that I was too hungry, so I ate in a hurry, picked up the teacup to moisten my throat, and then said.

Mu Ziyan nodded slightly, "What's going on these few days?"

"In a few days, it will be the Empress' death." Zhang Zong looked at her and said, "Every year the Emperor will stay alone in Yongfu Palace when the Empress is dying."

"The emperor really has deep affection for the empress." Mu Ziyan said with a low smile.

"Hey, didn't you notice it?" Mrs. Lu sat down and looked at Mu Ziyan and said.

"What?" Mu Ziyan raised her eyes and asked Lady Lu.

"The appearance of Concubine Yun is somewhat similar to that of the empress." Lady Lu said lightly.

"Sister Lu has never met the queen, so how do you know that Concubine Yun looks like the queen?" Mu Ziyan raised her eyebrows and looked at her with a smile.

"I haven't seen it, but someone has." Mrs. Lu continued, "Why don't you like Concubine Yun when you are only the Queen Mother?"

"Why?" Mu Ziyan didn't expect Lady Lu to know about this palace.

Mrs. Lu opened her lips slowly, "Every time the Queen Mother sees Concubine Yun, she will think of the late Queen. Although Concubine Yun looks similar to the Queen, her temperament is very different. The Queen's heart is kind and gentle. It's Huizhi Lanxin, but what about Concubine Yun?"

"Sister Lu, what else do you know?" Mu Ziyan asked with a smile.

"You girl, you're trying to trick me." Mrs. Lu paused slightly, then smiled.
