[World 5] Chapter 135

　　The next day after Murong Heng had sex with Jiang Mu, he went to Xunhuanju again, but found nothing. There were only some poems and songs, and a letter written to him left in her room.

　　The letter was filled with her longing for him and the pain of not being able to be together, which ask him to forget about her. The things she left behind were for him.

　　Murong Heng was furious in Xunhuanju and asked them to hand over Jiang Mu.

　　But Gu Jue was not there either. There was only one manager in Xunhuanju, and he had no idea about Jiang Mu's identity, so he couldn't even find Gu Jue.

　　Murong Heng never expected that Jiang Mu would just leave like that. She was full of mysteries, which left Murong Heng puzzled.

　　He took the poems Jiang Mu left for him back to the palace, read them over and over again, and admired her talent more and more. Jiang Mu's peerless beauty that night also lingered in his mind and he could not forget it.

　　In order to find Jiang Mu's whereabouts, Murong Yan mobilized half of his shadow guards to investigate, and also issued a death order that once the person was found, she must be brought back to the palace without a single hair missing.

　　But after a few days, there was no trace of her.

　　Not only could we not find the person, but the information they found was also a mess, and the clues were cut off when it reached Piaomiao Palace.

　　Murong Heng was furious and called Murong Yan directly.

　　Ask him to help find someone.

　　…..

　　Jiang Mu naturally knew that Murong Heng was looking for her, so she hid in the palace and never went out of the main door. Murong Heng would never have dreamed that the woman who had spent a night with him was actually in Prince Cheng's palace.

　　But even if she didn't go out, Jiang Mu's life was not idle.

　　If she doesn't look for trouble, trouble will naturally come to her.

　　After Xia He went to Qiuya Pavilion, Jiang Mu asked Xue Teng to keep an eye on the place and tell her immediately if there was anything unusual. Sure enough, this time Xue Teng discovered that something was wrong with Qiuya Pavilion recently. One of Huanruo's personal maids left the house yesterday and went out again today. The doctor was asked to come twice in the past few days and the doctor prescribed some pregnancy-maintaining medicine. However, when Xue Teng asked about it afterwards, the doctor said that the child was fine and there was no problem. However, Qiuya Pavilion asked the doctor to come for regular checks in the past few days.

　　If you think about it, it's not normal.

　　Jiang Mu asked Xue Teng to go to Xia He's place at night, and she happened to see Xia He secretly giving a bottle to Huanruo's personal maid.

　　Putting these things together, Jiang Mu knew what Huanruo and Xia He were up to.

　　In the original plot, Huanruo also used her own child to frame the original owner, and it was Xia He who suggested it at the time.

　　Now Xia He has seen the right opportunity and plans to kill two birds with one stone.

　　Jiang Mu gradually gains the favor of the prince, and Huanruo is pregnant. However, not only is she ignored by the prince, but she also has to endure the cold shoulder in Qiuya Pavilion.

　　Xia He was unwilling to go on like this. She saw that Huan Ruo was anxious to get rid of Jiang Mu, so she took the initiative to offer advice.

　　If Huanruo really did what she said, she would have a way to get rid of two enemies at once.

　　Jiang Mu made preparations in advance, and when that day came, she was not in a hurry at all.

　　Huanruo took the medicine and waited for it to take effect, but she didn't expect that after the doctor came, the stomach pain she took the pregnancy-preserving medicine did not stop, and it even became more severe.

　　Huanruo only then realized that she had been tricked by Xia He. She was so furious that she wanted to kill Xia He, but she had sacrificed the child in her belly. If she just killed a useless Xia He, it would be a loss.

　　She could only continue with her previous plan and throw the dirty water on Jiang Mu.

　　Xia He expected that she would do this. Looking at Huan Ruo's painful appearance, she couldn't help but secretly rejoice. Her tactic of killing someone with a borrowed knife was really brilliant.

　　By then, the blame will be placed on Jiang Mu. If Huanruo loses her child and is no longer loved, her day of resurgence will have come.

　　When Murong Yan got the news that Huanruo had a sudden heavy bleeding, he immediately rushed back to the palace. When he came back, Huanruo had already had a miscarriage. She had lost too much blood and had fallen into a coma.

　　This was Murong Yan's first child, and it was gone just like that. Murong Heng was furious, and the doctor was so frightened that he said tremblingly, "The concubine's pregnancy-preserving medicine was poisoned."

　　Murong Yan's eyes turned red, and he hugged Huan Ruo and yelled, "Check...check it for me."

　　The maids in Huanruo's room were also terrified. Huanruo had just lost a lot of blood, and now the child was gone. She was also dying. If the doctor hadn't rescued her in time, she would probably have died.

　　But before Huanruo fainted, she used her last bit of strength to tell her personal maid to frame Jiang Mu.

　　The personal maid followed Huanruo's instructions and said that she saw someone from Mingyueju at the gate of Qiuya Pavilion today.

　　This was also their plan. On that day, they deliberately let Xia He lure Qiu Ju from Mingyue Residence and let her pass by the door of Qiuya Pavilion, and then secretly hid the drug to poison Huanruo in Qiu Ju's room.

　　Xia He also went to hide the medicine two days ago. She and Chun Tao, Qiu Ju and Dong Mei grew up together and have some feelings for each other.

　　Chuntao and Dongmei knew that she had betrayed Jiang Mu, so they no longer considered her a sister and refused to see her no matter what. Only Qiuju was soft-hearted and, seeing how pitiful she sounded, let her go to her room to talk for a while.

　　In this way, Xia He found an opportunity to hide the medicine.

　　When Murong Yan heard that this matter was related to Mingyueju, he frowned and was unwilling to believe it. But if Huanruo lost the child, who would benefit the most?

　　Of course it was Jiang Mu.

　　Even a fool could think that Jiang Mu was responsible for this matter.

　　It seemed that no one would do this except Jiang Mu. Murong Yan never thought that Huan Ruo would personally poison her own child to frame Jiang Mu, so he still sent people to Mingyue Residence to search.

　　However, Jiang Mu had already asked Xue Teng to take away the medicine in Qiu Ju's room, and put another ordinary tonic in the place where Xia He hid the medicine.

　　Soon, Murong Yan brought his men to Mingyueju.

　　Also coming with them were Xia He and Huan Ruo's personal maids.

　　Because of the testimony of the personal maid, they searched Qiu Ju's room first.

　　This is to prevent them from destroying the body.

　　Qiu Ju had no idea what was going on. She just saw a group of people rushing into her room and finding the packet of medicine in her cabinet without much searching.

　　The medicine was handed to Murong Yan, and Murong Yan's face looked gloomy and ugly.

　　He looked at Jiang Mu coldly.

　　He felt that he had misjudged her. He thought Jiang Mu was so kind and innocent, but he didn't expect her to be so vicious.

　　When Jiang Mu saw Murong Yan's horrible look, she really wanted to slap him.

　　But she still maintained her composure and said softly, "I wonder what your Highness means by this?"

　　Huan Ruo's personal maid took advantage of the presence of the prince and glared at Jiang Mu loudly, "You vicious woman, you actually poisoned the concubine and killed her child."

　　Jiang Mu frowned and looked at Xue Teng.

　　Xue Teng took two steps forward, kicked her away with one kick, and slapped her twice.

　　Jiang Mu looked at it and said quickly: "Xue Teng, what are you doing? Although she deserves to be punished for insubordination, the prince is here, you must not be rude."

　　Xue Teng walked up to Jiang Mu and the prince and knelt down, "I am too angry. This maidservant slandered and wrongly accused my lady."

　　Jiang Mu thought to herself that Xue Teng was truly a teachable child.

　　She looked at Murong Yan with a loving expression, "Prince...you, do you also believe what she said? Do you also think that I harmed Sister Huanruo?"

　　Murong Yan looked at Jiang Mu's weak and pitiful face and fell into deep thought.

　　He glanced at the medicine thrown on the ground, "Huanruo's child is gone. Someone put drugs in her pregnancy-preserving medicine. Her maid saw Qiuju from your room sneaking around Qiuya Pavilion today."

　　Jiang Mu raised her head and looked at Qiu Ju, "Qiu Ju, what is going on?"

　　Qiu Ju was suddenly thrown a big pot, and she was completely dumbfounded. She was so scared that she fell to her knees and said, "Madam, I didn't do anything. It has nothing to do with me."

　　Murong Yan: "So what are you doing at Qiuya Pavilion today?"

　　Qiuju's eyes were evasive and a little vague.

　　Murong Yan's eyes turned cold and stern.

　　Jiang Mu was also a little speechless, and shouted angrily, "Tell me quickly, what did you do? Just tell the truth."

　　Qiu Ju then said, "I saw the maids from Qiu Ya Pavilion passing by Ming Yue Residence these past two days. I thought there was something wrong with them, so I followed them secretly to see what their purpose was."

　　There was no credibility in this statement. Jiang Mu was really glad that she had made preparations early.

　　Xia He and Huan Ruo made the right choice to target Qiu Ju.

　　If it were Murong Yan who was in Jiang Mu's shoes, he would not believe in Jiang Mu's innocence. Instead, he would determine that Jiang Mu was the mastermind behind the scenes.

　　As expected, as soon as Qiu Ju finished speaking, Murong Yan's face became even uglier. "Did you just sneak in to take a look, or did you sneak in when no one was paying attention and poison the concubine's pregnancy-preserving medicine?"

　　Qiu Ju shook her head frantically, "I didn't, I really didn't."

　　"Then what's the matter with this medicine? Why is it in your room?"

　　Qiu Ju looked at the medicine on the ground with a surprised expression, "I don't know either. This is not mine."

　　Jiang Mu couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

　　Originally, she wanted to act out some fun with them, but she didn't expect that the maids around her were not very capable. If only they were as smart as Xue Teng, she would be able to put on a big show for everyone.

　　She calmed down and quickly looked at Qiuju in shock, "Qiuju, what's going on? What kind of medicine is this?"

　　Qiu Ju shook her head. "I don't know. This is really not mine. I don't know why it is in my room."

　　Xue Teng suddenly said, "I put this medicine there. Qiu Ju and I used to live in the same room, but I moved out recently. I put this medicine there before. But it's not a poison. It's a common herb, honeysuckle and licorice that clear the lungs and moisten the throat."

　　Jiang Mu looked at Murong Yan and said, "Your Majesty, let's let the doctor take a look at what kind of medicine this is before we make a conclusion."

　　Murong Yan's expression changed slightly. He picked up the medicine bag on the ground, opened it and took a look, then turned around and ordered the servant to call a doctor.

　　In just a moment, the doctor came in, sweating profusely.

　　Murong Yan ordered: "Take a look at what kind of medicine is in here. Is it the poison that the concubine was poisoned with?"

　　The doctor responded quickly, took the packet of medicine and examined it carefully.

　　Seeing this, Xia He and Huan Ruo's personal maids subconsciously held their breath and became extremely nervous.

　　Qiuju also widened her eyes and waited for the doctor to speak.

　　The doctor took the medicine and smelled and looked at it. Although he could tell at a glance that it was not poison, he could not relax in this situation. Perhaps there was poison mixed in it. If he made a mistake, his life would be in danger, so he looked at it for a long time without saying anything.

　　Murong Yan urged, "Do you have to look at it for so long?"

　　The doctor knelt down and replied, "Your Majesty, this is just some licorice and honeysuckle, there is no poison."

　　As soon as these words were spoken, Xia He's face turned pale, and she had a vague feeling of foreboding.

　　She put the medicine there herself, how could something go wrong?

　　The personal maid also didn't believe it. How could this happen? She subconsciously looked at Xia He.

　　This action was seen by Murong Yan.

　　He didn't notice Xia He was there just now. He thought about it, looked at Xia He coldly, and said in a deep voice, "Why are you here?"

　　"I heard that the concubine's miscarriage was related to Madam, and I was very worried, so I followed her to see her. After all, Madam is my former master."

　　This is reasonable.

　　However, Jiang Mu secretly laughed in her heart. She looked at Murong Yan with a wronged face and said in a crying voice: "My Lord, now I can be cleared of all charges."

　　Murong Yan was stunned.

　　Jiang Mu looked so pitiful. Murong Yan felt guilty and stepped forward to hold her hand, saying with pity, "I was wrong about you."

　　In this way, Jiang Mu's suspicion was completely cleared, but the investigation into who poisoned her still needed to continue.

　　Jiang Mu wiped away her tears pitifully, then pretended to be strong and said to Murong Yan: "My Lord, the most urgent task now is to find the real murderer who hurt Huanruo. Sister Huanruo is really pitiful..."

　　Murong Yan saw that she was so kind and was still thinking about Huanruo at this time. She was clearly wronged just now, and Huanruo's personal maid even pointed out that someone in her pavilion had drugged her master. It was really difficult for her.

　　Murong Yan hugged Jiang Mu lovingly and said distressedly, "Don't worry, I will find the real murderer. I'm sorry for what happened just now."

　　Jiang Mu shook her head and forced a smile, saying, "I am not wronged. As long as the prince believes in me, I will not be wronged."

　　Murong Yan was a little embarrassed and felt even more guilty.

　　…..

　　Soon the packet of medicine was found in Xia He's room.

　　Xia He knew that she had no way to survive, but she refused to die alone. She wanted to drag someone down with her. Since she had been discovered, she revealed her and Huanruo's plan to Murong Yan when he was interrogating her.

　　After hearing what Xia He said, Murong Yan directly had someone feed her poisoned wine.

　　He returned to Qiuya Pavilion and looked at Huanruo, who was pale and still unconscious, and his heart went cold.

　　He never expected that the woman he once loved deeply would become like this.

　　In order to frame Jiang Mu, she even killed their child.

　　This is their first child.

　　It turns out that she only cares about herself and doesn't love him at all.

　　Murong Yan was heartbroken about Huan Ruo. Thinking about how he almost wronged Jiang Mu today, he felt even more that Huan Ruo was not worthy of his love.

　　In comparison, Jiang Mu is much better.

　　It was because he was blind that Jiang Mu waited for three years in vain. But it was not too late now. He would definitely love Jiang Mu well, make it up to her, and make up for the time he had missed.

　　…..

　　After Huanruo woke up, she learned that her plan had failed. Jiang Mu was fine, but Xia He was killed by a cup of poisoned wine.

　　And she also lost her child. The doctor said that she had lost too much blood this time, which damaged her body and she might not be able to get pregnant in the future.

　　When Huanruo heard the news, she fainted again.

　　The people from Qiuya Pavilion went to invite Murong Yan, but were stopped outside the door by Murong Yan's guards, who said that the prince was too busy to come over and asked them to call a doctor.

　　Murong Yan was so disappointed with Huan Ruo that he didn't want to see her at all.

　　When Huanruo woke up, she didn't see Murong Yan, so she asked the maid who was serving her. The maid stammered and said that the prince was busy and would come back when he was done.

　　Huanruo understood immediately that the bitch Xia He must have told everything.

　　Huanruo was trembling and unable to speak. She regretted it very much at this moment.

　　She shouldn't have been so bewildered and deceived by Xia He's words to do such a thing.

　　In the end, she lost her child and Murong Yan's heart, and she couldn't even get pregnant again.

　　When Huanruo thought of this, her heart sank. Her throat felt hot and she spat out a mouthful of blood, scaring the maid in the room.

　　"Go get a doctor, go get a doctor, the concubine is vomiting blood."

　　The news of Huanruo vomiting blood soon reached Jiang Mu.

　　She was drinking tea when she heard the news. She sighed and said calmly, "How pitiful! Not only did she lose her child, but she won't be able to have children in the future. Sigh..."

　　Chun Tao said: "Madam still feels sorry for her, and she wants to put the blame on you."

　　Dongmei: "That's right, it's all Qiuju's fault for letting Xia He in. I told you she was a traitor, but you still felt sorry for her. She almost hurt the lady."

　　Qiu Ju had been crying for the whole afternoon, her eyes were swollen like walnuts. "I...I don't want to either. How would I know?"

　　Jiang Mu said: "Okay, this matter is over. You should all be more careful in the future."

　　"Xia He is such an ungrateful person. Madam treated her so well before. I never expected her to do such a thing."

　　"She's dead. I heard that the prince personally interrogated her. She was poisoned to death by a cup of poisoned wine and thrown directly into the mass grave..."

　　Jiang Mu waved her hand, "Okay, you guys go down. There have been so many things to do today. I'm tired too. You don't need to serve me anymore."

　　Xue Teng was the last to leave, and Jiang Mu said to her, "Thank you for your hard work. Today is all thanks to you."

　　Jiang Mu was the only one left in the room. She stretched and wanted to lie down quietly for a while.

　　But suddenly another person appeared in the room.

　　It was Li Zaoji, whom she hadn't seen for several days.

　　Jiang Mu was not surprised to see him, but she did not expect that this person could find his way into the palace.

　　"Why are you here?"

　　Jiang Mu lay there motionless, her tone lazy, her eyes slightly open. Although she looked a little tired, her expression was charming.

　　After not seeing each other for a few days, Li Zaoji's longing for Jiang Mu has not diminished at all.

　　"I have done what you asked me to do, and now I am here to get my reward." Li Zaoji had a pair of romantic and affectionate peach blossom eyes, a smile on his lips, and slowly walked to Jiang Mu.

　　Jiang Mu said calmly: "What reward?"

　　Li Zaoji squatted down and was at eye level with her, "Princess Cheng, are you trying to cheat?"

　　Jiang Mu closed her eyes and curled her lips: "What can you do if I cheat?"

　　Li Zaoji leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Then I'll ask for it myself. I never do business at a loss."

　　Jiang Mu curled her lips and reached out to grab his collar.

　　"Palace Master Li is too impatient. Please tell me how you are doing first."

　　Li Zaoji picked her up and said gently, "Of course I did everything you said. Otherwise, you would have been taken away by the emperor long ago if you were still lying here peacefully."

　　Jiang Mu smiled, "That's not necessarily true. After all, I am his sister-in-law."

　　"So what if it's my sister-in-law? If it were me, I would snatch her away as long as I liked her. What's more, you and Murong Yan haven't slept together for such a long time. With your plan, Murong Heng will naturally think that you and he are the true love. Taking you away is the same as saving you."

　　Jiang Mu said calmly: "How do you know I didn't sleep with him?"

　　Li Zaoji: "Of course I have spies in Prince Cheng's Mansion. You can hide your tricks from others, but not from me."

　　Jiang Mu touched Li Zaoji's face and said, "Palace Master Li is really very powerful."

　　Li Zaoji has handsome facial features, especially his eyes, which are naturally affectionate and very gentle when he smiles.

　　But his lips are not thin, and he looks quite sexy when he smiles.

　　When Jiang Mu agreed to him, he also looked at her face.

　　Since he had done what he wanted, Jiang Mu would not go back on her word. She put her arms around his neck and gave him a kiss.

　　Li Zaoji thought it would take some effort. If Jiang Mu really disagreed, he would not force it. After all, he never forced a woman.

　　When Jiang Mu touched his lips, his hands subconsciously pressed Jiang Mu's shoulders, and he could hear his own heartbeat clearly.

　　Li Zaoji used to think that he was an expert in love. Many women in Piaomiao Palace wanted to climb into his bed. However, although he was a playboy, he had high standards and there were not many women who could satisfy him.

　　But it's not as bad as it is now, he was like a young boy.

　　Li Zaoji was surprised. He didn't expect that he would be attracted to Jiang Mu.

　　You have to know that although this woman is beautiful, she is also poisonous. Just look at the things she has done and you will know that you must not get involved with her.

　　But he also has the bad qualities that all men in the world have.

　　The more you know you can't touch it, the more you want it.

　　Li Zaoji took the initiative to deepen the kiss.

　　The sweet taste between his lips made him linger, and neither of them could restrain themselves, and soon Jiang Mu was pushed onto the bed by him.

　　Just as Li Zaoji was about to undress her, a sound came from outside.

　　"Madam, the prince is here."

　　Jiang Mu and Li Zaoji froze.

　　The two looked at each other, Jiang Mu blinked and said mischievously: "Now I'll have to trouble Palace Master Li to find a place to hide."

　　Li Zaoji looked unhappy and said angrily, "What a coincidence."

　　Jiang Mu: "Who said it wasn't?"

　　As she spoke, she straightened her clothes and smoothed her hair.

　　Li Zaoji watched Jiang Mu put away her charming gesture and become elegant and dignified again in an instant, and he felt itchy in his heart.

　　He pulled Jiang Mu into his arms, kissed her hard, and then stood up and left.

　　Jiang Mu glared at him, and when she looked again, she could no longer find any trace of Li Zaoji.

　　She stood up and went out to greet Murong Yan.

　　After what happened today, Murong Yan was actually very tired. After he finished his official business, he just wanted to go back to Jiang Mu and have a good rest.

　　Only when he saw Jiang Mu did he feel at ease.

　　Women like Huanruo and Xiahe make him feel cold.

　　"Why does Your Highness look so haggard?" Jiang Mu looked at him caringly, her tone gentle.

　　The way Murong Yan looked at Jiang Mu was completely different. He looked at Jiang Mu deeply, and as soon as she came over, he hugged her.

　　"Prince, what happened?" Jiang Mu also reached out and hugged Murong Yan.

　　Murong Yan whispered: "Nothing, I just miss you very much and want to hug you."

　　Jiang Mu sneered, but her voice formed an ironic contrast with her expression. She said softly, "Your Highness must be tired. Sit down and rest."

　　Murong Yan sighed, "There are so many things to do today, I am really tired."

　　Jiang Mu: "The prince likes to drink lotus seed soup. I'll ask the kitchen to make a bowl and send it over."

　　Murong Yan nodded.

　　Jiang Mu called Xue Teng in, "Xue Teng, go to the kitchen and bring a bowl of lotus seed soup. Make it the same way as last time. The prince likes it."

　　Murong Yan looked at Jiang Mu with emotion and thought, Jiang Mu really understood his preferences.

　　Jiang Mu asked in confusion: "Why is the prince looking at me like this?"

　　Murong Yan smiled lightly, "I just think Mu'er is pretty."

　　Jiang Mu was not used to it when she heard that he even changed his address.

　　She lowered her head shyly, "Why did the prince suddenly say such a thing?"

　　Murong Yan pulled her into his arms, "Don't you like it?"

　　Jiang Mu shook her head, "It's just that I've never heard the prince say this before, and I was surprised for a moment."

　　"It was my fault before. I didn't cherish you well. I won't do that again. I will come to Mingyueju every day from now on."

　　Jiang Mu looked at him in surprise: "Really?" Goodbye!

　　Murong Yan touched her hair and said, "Yeah."

　　Jiang Mu hugged Murong Yan, "Your Majesty, I am so happy. I have been thinking about it and looking forward to it for so long, and finally I have waited for this day."

　　Murong Yan: "Silly, are you so happy?"

　　Jiang Mu smiled shyly.

　　They were still hugging each other when Xue Teng came in with the lotus seed soup.

　　Jiang Mu shyly pushed him away, and Murong Yan took her hand and sat down.

　　Jiang Mu smiled as he watched Murong Yan drink the lotus seed soup.

　　The two of them exchanged a few sweet words, and then Murong Yan fell down and lost consciousness.

　　Jiang Mu was just about to ask Xue Teng to come in and help lift Murong Yan onto the bed when she heard Li Zaoji's voice from behind.

　　"I wonder how many faces you have, woman."

　　Jiang Mu turned and looked at him, "What's wrong? Is Palace Master Li scared?"

　　Li Zaoji took two steps forward, kicked Murong Yan, and said calmly: "I just think that you are being hypocritical to a man like this in this damn place. It would be better for you to come with me to Piaomiao Palace and be free."

　　Jiang Mu smiled, "Oh? Palace Master Li, are you speaking up for me?"

　　"Don't you feel sick listening to Murong Yan's words? He ignored you for several years for another woman, but now he has come to his senses."

　　Jiang Mu glanced at Murong Yan and said nothing.

　　Li Zaoji picked up Jiang Mu and said, "Let's continue what we didn't finish just now."

　　Jiang Mu frowned: "Palace Master Li is quite elegant."

　　Li Zaoji: "Then I'll take you out."

　　Jiang Mu: "No, I'm so tired, you go now."

　　Li Zaoji pursed his lips, "What about you?"

　　Jiang Mu: "Don't worry about that."

　　Li Zaoji saw that Jiang Mu was so cold to him, but was so gentle to Murong Yan just now. He felt very unhappy and simply sat down next to her.

　　"Why are you calling me Palace Master Li all the time? I've already told you my name."

　　"Don't you always call me Princess Cheng? Don't you know my name?"

　　After Jiang Mu finished speaking, Li Zaoji laughed again, contrary to his previous depression, "So you are angry because I called you Princess Cheng, well, how about I call you Mu'er then?"

　　Jiang Mu: "It's nothing, Murong Yan just called me that."

　　Li Zaoji: "…"
