The Fourth Lady novel Chapter 129

"Murong Jingxuan, just what is going on here?" Xuanyuan Yuzhen walked up before him in a few steps, staring at him with a stern expression.

"Fourth Prince, it's better if I explain it to you." Qingyan propped herself up with great difficulty, "After all, Shizi doesn't know very well either."

Xuanyuan Yuzhen saw Qingyan's appearance; his heart contained a never before sadness. It was as if he could only watch the two of them behave in such familiar manners.

In the end, he seemingly noticed that this young girl before him seemed to have began to change in his heart. But even so, what of it? After all, now, they were already impossible.

"Miss Su, from now on, you can just directly call me by my name." Xuanyuan Yuzhen said without even thinking, "Jingxuan and I are already this close as friends."

"Alright." Qingyan leaned on the pillow behind her, carrying a smile, "The poison in my body was created over many years. Especially, since I even fell into the water before."

"Then why would there be a ghost ringed scorpion in your body?" Xuanyuan Yuzhen poured a cup of tea and handed it to her as he asked this.

Taking the cup from him, Qingyan slightly smiled, "Because I can only temporarily rely on this ghost ringed scorpion to get rid of the toxins in my body."

"But earlier Chonglou said the poison in your body is getting increasingly worse." Xuanyuan Yuzhen thought of what Chonglou said just now and couldn't help frowning, "What did this mean?"

Qingyan glanced at Murong Jingxuan and could only confess about what Xuanyuan Yufan was planning to do to her. After all, this matter, Xuanyuan Yuzhen didn't know about, and looking at it now, they couldn't continue hiding it.

"You'er saying, second brother wants to deal with you?" Xuanyuan Yuzhen looked to Qingyan, his brows furrowed tightly.

Previously, Xuanyuan Yufan certainly did once asked to marry Su Qingyan in the imperial court, but he was already rejected by Hongjia Emperor. Could it be, now he plans to....

As he thought of this, his expression become more ugly.

"What you're thinking is correct." Qingyan looked to Xuanyuan Yuzhen and smirked, "He thinks that as long as I become his person, I will naturally be willing to agree to this marriage. After all, this to girls isn't something to be proud of either."

"Hmph." Xuanyuan Yuzhen coldly snorted. "I really didn't think second brother would use this kind of method."

"This method, naturally wasn't thought of by him." When Qingyan recalled that of Ning Siyao's, the corner of her lips perked up, "Who do you think would come up with this idea for him?

Who else but Su Qingming, and Su Qingming just wants to deal with me. He thinks that once I become the Second Prince's person, he can have the right to torment me and send me to my death. This to them is naturally a good thing."

"Then what do you plan on doing?" Xuanyuan Yuzhen knew that Qingyan was someone with ideas. This was also the reason why he felt she was different from all those other women. She would always be able to dissolve disaster at the most critical moment, no matter the circumstance. That's why he believed that she would definitely have a plan. That's why she was able to be this calm at this moment.

"If I were to say that I don't have a plan, I assume you wouldn't believe me." Qingyan looked to Xuanyuan Yuzhen and lightly laughed, "But I indeed have a way."

"What way?" Xuanyuan Yuzhen impatiently asked. He completely didn't realize how of his manners he's forgotten at this moment, completely different from the usual as cold as ice Fourth Prince.

"That's why Yan'er needed to spit out that scorpion." Murong Jingxuan looked to Xuanyuan Yuzhen's expression and calmly spoke, "That scorpion can control one's will."

"As expected it's like that. But just what exactly is this method? You can't tell me?" Xuanyuan Yuzhen looked to the two of them and tightly clenched his fist, yet he couldn't express himself at this moment.

"Yuzhen, we're planning to use Su Qingyuan to deal with Xuanyuan Yufan. After all, this is the only way." Qingyan then pulled on Murong Jingxuan sleeve, shaking her head at him.

"Yuzhen, you should know about that rumor from the storyteller previously, right." Murong Jingxuan also sighed in relief when he saw Qingyan's appearance. After all, he and Yuzhen have been friends for many years. If they were to have a falling out because of this matter, then it wasn't worth it.

He just wants to watch over his Yan'er.

"En, I remember. Isn't it just some official's daughter becoming a prostitute rode by a thousand men. I remember consort-mother even endlessly sighed at the time." Xuanyuan Yuzhen calmly replied, "What? You two know what this was about?"

Jingxuan nodded at him, "That official's daughter is precisely Su Qingyuan. At the time, Ning Siyao wanted to deal with Yan'er. Afterwards, Yan'er returned the favor one by one, making her daughter the one to suffer."

"Serves them right." At the time, he'd even felt that the victim of this matter was quite pitiful. But thinking about it now, they only have themselves to blame, simply unable to make others sympathize.

"Su Qingyuan should already be around three months pregnant." Qingyan looked to Xuanyuan Yuzhen and plainly spoke, "If something happens to them, I don't know if there will be any mishaps."

Xuanyuan Yuzhen looked to Qingyan's calm appearance and reluctantly spoke, "As expected, it's a good plan. When the time comes, not only will the old man be angry, I'm afraid even his consort-mother, Yi Consort will be implicated because of this."

"Not just that. The Second Prince usually pays attention to his reputation, if we were to spread this news to the outside and become a rumor, it'll also be an enormous hit for the Second Prince. At least, let you leave a good name before the Crown Prince." Qingyan said, still in a calm tone. "After all, the Second Prince wholeheartedly wants to seize the throne."

Xuanyuan Yuzhen looked to her, shaking his head, "Even if we don't do this, in front of eldest brother, I still have a lot of weight. After all, standing at his side is only sixth brother and I."

"It's precisely because of such that you need to further grab the Crown Prince's heart more firmly. Moreover, the Crown Prince's body....it's only a matter of time." Qingyan calmly spoke, "However, these things aren't important for now. How did you arrange tonight's matter?"

Xuanyuan Yuzhen looked to them and told them all the details of tonight's plan. Lastly, he only plainly added, "But this matter, I didn't tell imperial father."

Qingyan looked to Xuanyuan Yuzhen and earnestly nodded, "This matter it's best to make it air-tight. After all, if it becomes public when the time comes, it would also cause a disturbance." Qingyan said as she stroked her chin, "Although it's all prepared, we still don't know when Xiuran will make a move, so we must hide in the dark."

Xuanyuan Yuzhen discovered that Qingyan is a woman that takes the big picture into consideration. If a woman like this could accompany by his side, how great would that be. Thinking to this point, he looked to Qingyan and nodded, "This bit, I still understand. I've already instructed my people to properly protect imperial father and consort-mother."

"That's right." Qingyan looked up towards Murong Jingxuan. "Find someone reliable to protect Chunyuan Elder Princess. Also prepare archers. Just worried that when the time comes it won't be just Xiuran coming."
