Hi guys~
After sending off Ding Xian, Mu Yunjin went to Ascending Flower Pavilion. After what happened at Listening Flower Pavilion with Su Biqing, she no longer continued to be in the mood, she decided to return to her own place. Back to Ascending Flower Pavilion, Mu Yunjin pushed the door open, Zi Xiang then rushed over, she was deathly pale and have messy hair.
“Miss, this servant has been waiting for you all day, you have finally come back.”
Seeing Zi Xiang, Mu Yunjin stared blankly, she remembered that this girl has always been timid, last night that black clothed man almost took her life, she must have been in panic all day. Mu Yunjin sighed a little.
“Zi Xiang, are you okay.”
“This servant is okay, I just heard that today, an official from the Justice office came to investigate, I was scared that Miss will meet a mishap, this servant`s heart has been hanging all day.”
“I`m fine, the matter is already handled, it is almost unlikely to be placed over my head.”
Mu Yunjin a.s.sured with a smile. When Zi Xiang heard this, she is relieved, thinking about the black clothed man last night, her heart trembled with fear.
“Miss, who was that black clothed man?”
Pausing, Zi Xiang is a little cautious to open her mouth again.
“He is not one of big madam and the fourth miss` people right?”
“No, you do not have to worry about last night, you were frightened, first eat some nourishing food.”
Mu Yunjin said as she looked at Zi Xiang and smiled at this naive and timid little girl not wanting to involve her into muddy affairs. Zi Xiang nodded no longer asking questions. After Mu Yunjin went back to her room, Zi Xiang again moved close to whisper to Mu Yunjin.
“Oh that`s right Miss! when did you secretly learn kung fu skills?”
“Huh?”
Mu Yunjin raised her eyebrows.
“That black clothed man secretly entering this room is in itself a skill, Miss is also not bad, effortlessly killing him with a knife.”
Zi Xiang said, looking at Mu Yunjin with awe. Mu Yunjin looked back at Zi Xiang, and helplessly laughed.
“You think too much, at that time the situation is critical, that black clothed man did not pay attention to me, that is why I was able to take advantage of that loophole that`s all.”
“You have always been at my side, when did I have the time to learn Kung Fu?”
“Even so, Miss is awesome, if it were not for Miss, this servant would not have kept my life.”
Zi Xiang`s eyes is full of worship and her voice did not diminish her delight as she spoke. Mu Yunjin smiled and took one look around.
“Well, stop teasing me, you have received a fright, today you should rest.”
“Okay, this servant already warmed up the food and placed them inside the kitchen.”
Zi Xiang said. Mu Yunjin nodded.
.........
“It is already around Hai Shi (9 to 11 pm), Mother is not resting but instead came looking for me to do what?”
Mu Yunjin steeped hot tea and sipped gently. Su Biqing looked at Mu Yunjin quietly for a moment before faintly opened her mouth.
“You have been in this Xiang Fu for many years, saddled with many unbearable rumors, life up to now is really tough on you.”
“Mother, what do you want to say?”
Mu Yunjin put down her teacup and stared at Su Biqing`eyes thinking over her meaning. Su Biqing faintly smiled, she calmly opened her mouth again.
“The poison is certainly my action to kill you, the black clothed man is also the person I a.s.signed.”
“So?”
Mu Yunjin raised an eyebrow, she cannot understand what Su Biqing meant by doing this.
“So, you are now powerful, you have the Sixth Prince behind you that you can rely on, surely you can find methods to make Chen Pu stop investigating this matter and let off your mother this time, don`t you think?”
Su Biqing faintly said, inside her countenance have other deep meaning. Mu Yunjin heard Su Biqing her heart secretly have a bad feeling, but on the outside she looked serene as she stared at Su Biqing.
“Mother, to speak this words you should give me a reason.”
Su Biqing heard her and from inside of her sleeves she took out thin handkerchief and placed it on top of the stone table then she unfold it to show an old fashioned hairpin.
“That day Aunt Zhang came to the Fu to search for you, she left later, was it reported to you that she is safe?”
Su Biqing words left Mu Yunjin stumped for words, she looked at the hair pin again on top of the table and knitted her brows.
“What did you do to Aunt Zhang?”
Su Biqing saw Mu Yunjin finally become emotional, she revealed a hint of a satisfied smile.
“It seems that you treat your wet nurse with a little affection. This step is my last resort.”
Pausing, Su Biqing then went straight to the point.
“As long as you stop Chen Pu in investigating this matter, I will let Aunt Zhang go. Otherwise even if I die, I will pull her to be my scapegoat. Mu Yunjin I will not let you off for nothing.”
Mu Yunjin totally did not expect Su Biqing can think of using Aunt Zhang, it is also strange for her to not have a lot of tolerance. Although she have no feelings toward Aunt Zhang but on this world there are only few who treat this body`s owner with sincerity so she cannot let her suffer or be harmed.
“Okay, I promise you.”
After a long while, Mu Yunjin compromised. Su Biqing is relieved with Mu Yunjin`s response, she looked at Mu Yunjin, a little proud of herself she said.
“Good, settle this matter by tomorrow, I will instruct to release Aunt Zhang.”
“Su Biqing, you`d better truly release Aunt Zhang, if I became aware you did not keep your word, then don`t blame me but I will take your most precious daughter... I keep my words if you dare toy with me I will make Mu Lingzhu live a life worst than death.”
Mu Yunjin narrowed her eyes her voice indifferent, her eyes reflect coldness imbued with killing intent, unexpectedly Su Biqing unconsciously trembled in fear of Mu Yunjin, she felt apprehensive.
“It`s a deal.”
Su Biqing sucked in her breath, she got up, glanced at Mu Yunjin and went out of the Ascending Flower Pavilion. When Su Biqing left, Mu Yunjin`s eyes became colder and the corner of her mouth hooked up in a self mocking smile.
“It seems that in this battle, I lost.”
..........
The next day, Mu Yunjin`s heart is worried about Aunt Zhang, early morning she got up and set forth alone and went out of the Fu. Out of the gate of Xiang Fu, Mu Yunjin inwardly pondered, if she herself speak to Chen Pu then it is possible to raise suspicion. It seems that she must request help from a certain big buddha. Chu Li resides in the palace, to see him is not easy, Mu yunjin is distressed. After a moment, Mu Yunjin decided to take a chance, and went into the direction of the Palace. It did not take a while, Mu Yunjin arrived in front of the Imperial Palace, it is already Chen Shi (7 to 9 am), the guards saw Mu Yunjin so they stepped forward to stop her.
“This is the Palace entrance, you are not allowed here.”
“I am the Xiang Fu`s Third Miss, I am here to see the Sixth Prince, I have to trouble you to go and inform him.”
Mu Yunjin said indifferently. The imperial guards were slightly surprised and looked at Mu Yunjin up and down, They stood there not moving.
“May I have proof?”
“You go and find the Sixth Prince guard Ding, he recognizes me, let him come with me to enter the palace.”
Mu Yunjin is getting impatient. Hearing Mu Yunjin`s as a matter of fact tone, the Imperial guards were stunned, after a moment, they looked at the guards on the side and they immediately ran inside the palace. After waiting for a quarter of an hour, the Imperial guards came back followed by Ding Xian. When Ding Xian saw Mu Yunjin he cried out in alarm and immediately walked forward.
“Third Miss it is really you!”
“I have an urgent matter to talk with His Highness, Let`s go.”
Mu Yunjin saw Ding Xian and they rushed inside the palace. Along the way, she did not wait for Ding Xian to lead the way, Mu Yunjin looked like she is just walking in a park, she just went to the direction of the Gla.s.s Spring Palace only stopping in front of the Gla.s.s Spring Palace doors. Behind, Ding Xian looked at the plaque of Gla.s.s Spring Palace before looking at Mu Yunjin.
“Third Miss, have you been here before?”
Mu Yunjin is surprised for a moment, then remembered that the last time she was here was in the middle of the night and it was to steal something. She sighed, fortunately it was Ding Xian, if it was Chu Li he would have been suspicious.
“His Highness is in there?”
Mu Yunjin stood outside and did not directly enter through the doors. Ding Xian nodded.
“His Highness should be having his meal in the dining hall, I will take you.”
Ding Xian then led Mu Yunjin into the Gla.s.s Spring Palace and walking towards the door to the dining hall. Mu Yunjin`s first time here was in the middle of the night so she does not know the interior of the Palace, now after following Ding Xian, she can`t help but lament at how lavish it is. Under her feet, the floor tile is almost made up of all Jadeite stones, all around you can see brilliant lights and vibrant colors, delicate but outstanding furnishings.
“Your Highness, The Third Miss is here.”
Ding Xian announced as he brought Mu yunjin in the dining hall. Mu Yunjin stepped inside the dining hall. Chu Li is sitting in front of the table filled with dishes. Standing at one side to wait for him are four to five eunuchs. And then she looked around, she finally understood why he would think of her Listening Flower Pavilion as a doghouse. Because his dining hall, is several times larger than her bedroom. Chu Li is absent mindedly eating his meal when he heard Ding Xian`s voice. He lifted his eyes and languidly swept a look on Mu Yunjin standing there.
“You poke a basket or what?” (Rize: I honestly don`t know what they mean by this...)
After hearing what was said, Mu Yunjin slightly furrowed her brows.
“I did not poke any baskets, I have an urgent matter that I need your help with.”
“What?”
Chu Li slightly raised his brow and subconsciously looked at the time of day. Mu Yunjin pursed her lips and looked at the court eunuchs and palace maids at the side.
“You let them leave, I want to tell you alone.”
Chu Li did not respond, it was Ding Xian who took the lead to send those people away. At such a big dining hall, suddenly only Chu Li and Mu Yunjin this two people remained.

.........
Night time, inside the Ascending Flower Pavilion an uninvited guest came. Su Biqing, carrying a lantern, her body wrapped in a cloak, she stood alone in the Ascending Flower Pavilion courtyard. Seeing that the person who came is Su Biqing, Mu Yunjin sent Zi Xiang to Su Biqing. Two people then took a seat in the courtyard`s stone table, the night wind gently gave a slight chill.
“It is already around Hai Shi (9 to 11 pm), Mother is not resting but instead came looking for me to do what?”
Mu Yunjin steeped hot tea and sipped gently. Su Biqing looked at Mu Yunjin quietly for a moment before faintly opened her mouth.
