The Aloof Prince Pampers His Wild First Rate Consort

Hi guys~

I am going to slightly change some things to make it easier for me to translate and for you to read. Nothing major because I know most of us are avid readers of many novels therefore familiar with how they address people in their original language.

For example I might use words like jiejie and meimei to make it more smooth sounding than elder sister and younger sister every time. I won`t revert everything, I will just maintain it if it seems to fit more in the sentence than their English counterpart.

Thank You.

Happy Reading!

The Aloof Prince Chapter 32 - To search the Room

Mu Yunjin has been sitting in the front hall until the official from the Judicial office, Chen Pu hurriedly walked in together with a group of men.

“Xia Guan1 meets Xiang Ye2”

Chen Pu walked in from the door, he cupped his hands and bowed in ceremony towards Mu Xiang then skimmed his eyes towards the black clothed man and the cat, his complexion changed.

“Today, inside the Fu3 without a good cause, two bizarre things happened I had people investigate, but it seems that I need Chen daren4 to come and see.”

Mu Xiang got up to walk over at Chen Pu`s side. Chen Pu nodded, he stooped to inspect the body looking up and down soon after he called a coroner.

“You, come over here and examine the body.”

The coroner immediately moved to begin inspecting the black clothed man. Mu Yunjin sat there and was feeling sleepy, she yawned and looked towards the direction of the garden, her eyes slightly turned to see the mother and daughter pair urgently leave, she does not know what they are up to again.

“Father, since I have nothing to do, I will return first to rest.”

Mu Yunjin said. When Mu Xiang heard her, he turned to glanced at Mu Yunjin and frowned.

“The cat is found dead in your yard, you have not yet been cleared of suspicion, you can not go anywhere.”

“That black clothed man is found on meimei`s courtyard, why is she able to leave?”

Mu Yunjin retorted.

“You....”

Mu Xiang was slightly surprised for a moment, and then glanced towards Chen Pu, a little embarra.s.sed. After a short period of time of inspecting the black clothed man`s corpse, the coroner reached a conclusion. Pointing at the person`s neck.

“This wound is cut by a dagger, the injury was fatal, I carefully examined the wound, the back is wide and the front is narrow, it seems to be made by a double edged blade dagger. Double edged dagger usually are sharp in both sides, pointed heads and thinner than those single edge blade dagger and is difficult to use.”

After listening to the coroner, Mu Yunjin crossed her arms together, and felt the dagger hidden on her sleeves, she slightly raised her brow, this coroner really knows his stuff.

“Then that cat, originally it is snowy white in color, but I do not know what kind of poison is so powerful that turned it to purple color.”

Mu Xiang pointed at the cat. The coroner heard him and took out a silver needle to extract some of the cat`s blood. Then looked at Mu Xiang.

“Blood test, it will take a little time.”

“No harm, take your time.”

Mu Xiang urged. Mu Yunjin at this time is really sleepy, she also does know how long she should wait, she really do not feel at ease at what the mother and daughter pair is planning. Thinking fast, Mu Yunjin looked at the time of day and faintly smiled.

“Father, I just recalled that today the sixth prince and I have made a promise to have tea.”

“What?”

Mu Xiang slightly frowned, he is really suspicious of Mu Yunjin that is why he definitely must not let her go. However if the sixth prince really made an appointment with her....

“You will remain in the Fu, I will send someone to go to the sixth prince and pa.s.s on a message about the matters of the Fu, I believe that the sixth prince will understand.”

Mu Xiang considered as he looked at Mu Yunjin. This time Mu Yunjin suddenly became unhappy, she got up and with a trace of anger she opened her mouth.

“Father has concluded that I am a murderer? yet why are you still investigating, still calling the Judicial Officer, immediately want me to submit to the Judicial office at once?”

“Shut up!”

Mu Xiang is once again angry at Mu Yunjin, he slightly gasped for breath, he is a minister for so many years, even the emperor is polite towards him, only Mu Yunjin this girl has been recently rebelling and contradicting him.

“You want me to shut up, then do not just put me here alone, this person was found dead on Meimei`s courtyard, this cat is mother`s, then why am I the only one being hold here?”

At the side, the Judicial officer Chen Pu heard Mu Yunjin, he can`t refrain from twitching the corner of his mouth, he has heard many rumors about the third Miss Mu, today he saw that she really is a fearless woman. Honestly Mu Xiang felt his dignified presence in front of a stranger is being trampled by Mu Yunjin, he wants to order people to immediately lock her up, But at the doorway someone hurriedly entered, it was w.a.n.g Bo.

w.a.n.g Bo ran and glanced towards Mu Yunjin, then at Mu Xiang.

“Master, the Sixth prince carriage has stopped in front of the gates, he said that he is here to take the third miss to the Tea House.”

“What?”

Mu Xiang stared blankly, he really believed that Mu Yunjin is just talking nonsense, he did not expect that the sixth prince really made an appointment with her. Mu Yunjin is equally surprised, this Chu Li came at the great time.

“Father, since the Sixth prince had personally come here to pick me up, I will go out now.”

Mu Yunjin did not wait for Mu Xiang to talk as she skipped towards the door and outside the Fu. By the time she went out the door, she really saw a black carriage, Ding Xian who was sitting outside the carriage saw Mu Yunjin, he came down and nodded at Mu Yunjin.

“Paying my respect to the Third Miss.”

“Is Chu Li in there?”

Mu Yunjin pointed towards the carriage. Ding Xian nodded, then he saw Mu Yunjin effortlessly jumped on the carriage and went inside. Inside the carriage, Mu Yunjin saw Chu Li, remembering the incident about his bird blindness, and that they parted on bad terms, she can`t help feeling somewhat awkward. Mu Yunjin lowered her eyes and said.

“Why did you come and look for me?”

“Didn`t you want this prince to personally give the thirty thousand gold banknotes to you?”

Chu Li raised his eyes as he indifferently talked, and from inside his sleeves he took out the banknotes. Mu Yunjin looked at the banknotes, with no intention of picking it up, she instead reached out for the window curtains and push it aside to look outside. Soon after, she let go of the curtains and yelled outside.

“Ding Xian, go to the back door of the Xiang Fu4”

Outside, Ding Xian heard Mu Yunjin and immediately turn around towards the direction Mu Yunjin has instructed. Inside the carriage, Chu Li saw this and lightly snorted.

“This prince`s servants you actually order about is diligent.”

Having heard what was said, Mu Yunjin embarra.s.singly laughed and turned towards Chu Li with both hands clasped together like a prayer.

“Your Highness Sixth Prince, today Yunjin have a major event therefore I have to ask you to lend Ding Xian to me.”

“Event?”

Chu Li`s eyebrow raised. Mu Yunjin seriously nodded.

“It concerns my life of course I have to be prudent.”

“This prince actually does not know, in this world, there are still someone who will threaten your life.”

Chu Li disconcertingly said. The carriage stopped a distance from the back door of the Xiang Fu, Mu Yunjin looked at the tightly closed door and the towering wall and looked at Ding Xian.

“You are good at Qinggong5 right?”

Ding Xian stiffly nod.

“In a moment, carry me to fly up.”

Hearing Mu Yunjin`s words, Ding Xian distractedly glanced towards Chu Li, Ding Xian faced towards Mu Yunjin and smiled.

“His Highness` Qinggong is excellent, it would be better to have His Highness carry you, it would be more safe.” (Rize: Safe for who Ding Xian? XD)

Mu Yunjin listened to Ding Xian, she pursed her lips, actually this wall she can climb by herself, she just do not want to show her abilities in front of this two. Mu Yunjin no longer tarried, soon after she faced Chu Li.

“You carry me up.”

Chu Li`s face was expressionless, only revealing an indolent eyes, he did not reply. Merely he steadily held her waist and with the tip of his toes they fly off the ground. The three people finally arrived at the roof of the Listening Flower Pavilion. Mu Yunjin secretly sighed, this is the legendary Qinggong, soon after she squat down and shoot a glance towards the two men still standing. She reached out to pull Chu Li to squat down.

“Quickly squat down.”

Chu Li paused, with an odd expression he looked at Mu Yunjin soon after he still squat down. Ding Xian looked at Chu Li who seem to have a smiling expression but nevertheless followed his master to squat down. Mu Yunjin crouched on the roof, she saw the boxes are still there in the yard, she knitted her eyebrows and reached out to uncover a tile under her... Under her is her bedroom, Mu Yunjin raised her eyebrows, as she carefully looked for clues. She cannot find anything peculiar, she bit her lips.

“I`ll go down.”

.........

Inside the bedroom, Mu Yunjin very carefully turned over all kinds of drawers and inspected every nook and cranny but did not find anything. Chu Li with both hand on his back, shoot a glance at the person immersed in looking around. He glanced at Mu Yunjin`s room his eyebrows wrinkled a little.

“This is like a doghouse, it is unlikely that you live here right?”

Mu Yunjin heard him she immediately look back to glare at Chu Li before going to the edge of her couch. After turning almost everything, Mu Yunjin finally discovered on her pillow a bag of something. Inside is a double-edged dagger and a bag of powdered stuff. Mu Yunjin held the bag and cautiously opened to look at the white fine powder, a stimulating smell a.s.sailed her nostrils.

Mu Yunjin heard some footsteps, immediately moved beside Chu Li.

“Hurry let`s leave.”

When the three of them returned on the roof, they saw people push open the door of the Listening Flower Pavilion. Leading the group is Mu Xiang, followed by Chen Pu then followed by Su Biqing and Mu Lingzhu. Before the coroner went into the room he saw the gift boxes and took out his silver needles. After a while the coroner picked up the silver needles to obtain clues. He faced Mu xiang and said.

“Xiang Ye, on top of this gift boxes there are very potent poison identical with that poison found in the cat.”

At the roof, Chu Lu listened to the coroner and his line of sight fell on the bag on Mu Yunjin`s hand. Mu Yunjin caught Chu Li`s line of sight and immediately glanced towards Chu Li.

“Do I think so despicable.”

Ding Xian immediately understood that something bad had happened inside the Xiang Fu today and the unusual behavior of the third miss is because in this matter it is possible that the finger of blame would be pointed at the Third Miss. Sure enough Su Biqing`s voice sounded-

“My beloved cat died here for no reason, and these boxes were dyed with a highly toxic poison, it is strange. Lao Ye, send someone to investigate Yunjin`s courtyard.”

Mu Xiang listend to Su Biqing and nodded.

“Come and search.”

After hearing the words, the people started to scatter and begin to search Mu Yunjin`s Listening Flower Pavilion. Su Biqing and Mu Lingzhu looked at each other and soon, Su Biqing directly went to Mu Yunjin`s bedroom, and walked over the location of the couch...

Hi again~

Saved by the Tea! I mean by Chu Li. Really good timing and it supported her excuse to leave. Su Biqing really planted a dagger and poison. She has no fear even directly going to the location where she hid it and not even pretending to search other areas first. Anyway let see what will happen next.

Xia Guan1- Lower ranked government official

Xiang Ye2- Minister rank (Prime Minister) while Ye means an old gentleman

Fu3- Residence

Xiang Fu4- Prime Minister`s Residence
