Chapter 484 The old lady fell ill (4)
"Back?" Zhang Zong smiled brightly when he saw her.

Mu Ziyan paused again, "This smile is quite meaningful."

"No, it's just that I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you doing?" Zhang Zong immediately entered the hall, and when Mu Ziyan entered, he continued, "Recently something happened in the court, which is related to you."

"With me?" Mu Ziyan looked at him with raised eyebrows, "How could I not know?"

"This matter is very secret, you don't know about it." Zhang Zong continued, "I also found out by accident, so I went to investigate secretly. It just so happened that you came back today."

"Let's hear it." Mu Ziyan thought that she was in the imperial tomb, but did not arouse any suspicion.

"The prince has received hints from the emperor, and he is concerned about you, so he ordered someone to go to the imperial mausoleum to protect you secretly." Zhang Zong said while looking at Mu Ziyan.

"It's protection, it's better to say it's surveillance." Mu Ziyan raised her eyebrows and said in a cold voice.

"En." Zhang Zong continued, "Do you know who was sent?"

"Who is it?" Mu Ziyan looked at him and asked.

"Spring is approaching, and it happens to be the death day of the empress. The empresses in the palace will go to the imperial mausoleum to guard the spirit for a month. Although they can't all go, they will choose some to go every year. According to their rank, the four concubines go there in turn. Concubine Hui passed away, and now only Concubine Yun, Concubine Rong and Concubine Liu are left. Last year because Concubine Yun was pregnant, she couldn't come, so this year is Concubine Yun." Zhang Zong looked at her, "After thinking about coming The day is coming."

"Is this to let Concubine Yun come to be a lobbyist?" Mu Ziyan sneered.

"You are right." Zhang Zong replied in a low voice, "It seems that you will stay in the Imperial Tomb for January."

"Then Jingzhao Yin's government office?" Mu Ziyan narrowed her eyes slightly, it seemed that something would happen.

"Don't worry, I've already made up my mind. Today happens to be Lu'er's birthday, and you will leave the city early tomorrow morning. Because of the Spring Festival, you must go home." Zhang Zong said in a low voice.

"Brother Zhang is more thoughtful." Mu Ziyan looked at him with a smile.

Zhang Zong waved his hands and said, "Concubine Yun's purpose of going this time is not pure, you should be more careful in everything."

"En." Mu Ziyan nodded in response, the two chatted for a few more words, and saw that everyone had returned.

It was a very lively day, and they didn't leave until late at night.

After sending everyone away, Mu Ziyan turned to look at Mrs. Lu, and told Mrs. Lu about the matter. Early the next morning, Mu Ziyan and Mrs. Lu left the capital, and Mrs. Lu personally sent her off for a while. Only then reluctantly went back.

As for Mu Ziyan, he was sitting in a carriage. Since it was snowing, the road was difficult to walk, so the carriage was moving slowly. At this time, a figure fell down, wearing the mask of Lu Erniang, and Mu Ziyan left the carriage. , rushed back to the imperial mausoleum.

In Muhou's Mansion, Zhu Yue finally felt better these days, so he went out of the yard to walk in the garden, and happened to see a girl hurried out of the backyard, she turned her eyes to Ruqin, "Go and have a look."

"Yes." Ruqin replied, and immediately followed.

After waiting for a while, Ruqin came back and whispered, "Ma'am, that girl took this."

"Jade?" Zhu Yue's eyes flashed a faint light, "Whose is this?"

"She picked it up, and then secretly hid it, thinking about selling it." Ruqin said carefully.

"Where did she pick it up?" Zhu Yue continued to ask.

"It seems to be... outside of Da Furen's courtyard." Ruqin replied with downcast eyes, "I have seen this piece of jade before, it seems that it was placed in the young master's baby to ward off evil spirits."

"Oh?" Zhu Yue's eyes flashed a faint light, and he immediately had an idea.

Holding the piece of jade, she turned around and went back to her yard, and immediately asked Ruqin to bring a pot of water filled with something, she put the jade in, took it out after a while, and then dried it, looking at Ruqin , "Throw this piece of jade outside."

"Yes." Ruqin took it with both hands, turned around and left the room.

Zhu Yue narrowed his eyes slightly, "Why is your child safe and sound, while mine is gone?"

Ruqin secretly threw the jade pendant outside the courtyard of Jiyueyuan, and then pretended to be nonchalant and left.

Until a girl came out from the yard and was looking for it. When she found the piece of jade, she quickly picked it up and went back to the yard.

After Ruqin saw it, she turned around and came back to Lanxin Garden.

"What's the matter?" Zhu Yue asked in a low voice when he saw Ruqin came back.

"Ma'am, don't worry, the girl who came out took the jade back." Ruqin said in a low voice.

"That's good." A smug smile curled up on the corner of Zhu Yue's mouth.

When Nanny Cui saw the girl coming back holding the jade, she raised her hand to take it, "Don't be so careless next time."

"Yes, Nanny Cui, I'll save it for my servant." The girl obediently replied, she was very happy to be able to find her back.

After Mammy Cui took it, she was about to put it into a swaddle, but she felt that something was wrong. This jade is the most moist, even if it is thrown in the snow, it will still be warm. How come it feels cold to the touch now?
She looked down carefully, and then said, "Go and invite the doctor."

"Yes." The girl didn't dare to delay, and immediately withdrew.

After a while, the doctor came, and after a careful inspection, he looked at Nanny Cui, "This is soaked in poison."

"Poison?" Nanny Cui narrowed her eyes slightly, staring coldly at the girl beside her.

"Mother Cui, you are not a slave." The girl quickly knelt on the ground and shouted.

"Go down." Of course, Nanny Cui knew that she didn't do it, but who exactly?The old lady or Aunt Zhu?

Nanny Cui took the jade and went to the inner room. Mrs. Qi was teasing Mu Lingjue. Seeing Nanny Cui coming, "Have you found the jade?"

"Ma'am, this jade has been poisoned." Nanny Cui said in a low voice.

"It's really uneasy." Qi's eyes narrowed slightly, "In the future, if you lose anything in Jiyueyuan, don't take it back, and get rid of dirty hands and feet as soon as possible."

"Yes." Nanny Cui answered with her head down, turned around and went to give instructions.

Zhu Yue waited happily for a day, but there was no news from the other end. She looked at Ruqin suspiciously, "Is the medicine not effective enough?"
