The Fourth Lady novel Chapter 132

(T/N: 'Xian' in Xian Consort's title means virtuous.)

Xuanyuan Yukai's expression soften when he looked to Qingyan. In his heart, he was very clear about Xuanyuan Yuzhen's ambitions. He also had his own ideas, and although he didn't have any thoughts towards competing for the throne, he still needed the power to protect the people around him.

Especially, his most precious younger sister.

That year when consort-mother died, although he didn't know the details, he could faintly tell that there wasn't a lack of Xian Consort, Feng Qin's handiwork. Because he once saw Qilian Yuran warning Feng Qin.

But since they're unwilling to say, then he would rather pretend to not know. It was better for them this way.

"Miss Su, if you can help me deal with Xian Consort, then naturally it's for the best." Xuanyuan Yukai looked to Qingyan with a gentle smile on his face. But his curled fist betrayed the surging waves in his heart at the moment.

"Yan'er, how do you plan on dealing with Xian Consort?" Murong Jingxuan saw her profound expression and asked with a smile.

"How about dragging her down from her Xian Consort position and throwing her into the cold palace? It'll be considered fulfilling one of Sixth Prince's wishes." Qingyan said as she casted her gaze at Xuanyuan Yukai.

It's not that Xuanyuan Yukai didn't think of trying to drag her down from her consort position. This consort position once belonged to his mother, and that woman actually dared to occupy it this whole time.

"You really can drag her down from the Xian Consort position?" Xuanyuan Yukai looked to Qingyan in disbelief. He didn't really believe that Su Qingyan would actually have this kind of ability.

"As long as you want to, there isn't anything I, Su Qingyan, can't accomplish." Qingyan stood in the wind as she faced them, a confident smile appeared on her lips.

"Alright, I believe you." Xuanyuan Yukai looked to Su Qingyan's solemn appearance and unexpectedly agreed to her words. Moreover, it looks like Xuanyuan Yuzhen and Murong Jingxuan also trust her very much.

Xian Consort, take a guess, do you think my daddy is more important in Hongjia Emperor's heart or are you more important?

A willow leaf blade appeared in Qingyan's hands. And before anyone could react, she stabbed the blade into her chest. Murong Jingxuan held her at once, "Yan'er, what are you doing!?"

"Naturally shielding for the Princess." Qingyan looked to Murong Jingxuan with a smile, "Guess, is Ning'er important or Xian Consort important?" Qingyan shot a glance at the man in black lying on the ground.

Everyone present was well aware, Xuanyuan Yuning was more important in Hongjia Emperor's heart. Xian Consort was just a woman that married over from a foreign country. In Hongjia Emperor's heart, she was simply not essential.

"You all saw, Miss Su got hurt in order to protect the Princess. Hurry and report to his Majesty." Xuanyuan Yuzhen's clear cold voice sounded, and shortly afterwards a young eunuch next to him immediately disappeared.

"Yan'er, how are you?" Xuanyuan Yuning didn't think that Su Qingyan would use this kind of extreme method. She walked over next to Qingyan and held her hand, "You shouldn't have use such an extreme method."

"Merely a small wound, it's not a big deal. Ning'er don't be sad." Qingyan looked to Xuanyuan Yuning and smiled, "Saving the Princess's life is my honor."

"Silly girl." Murong Jingxuan picked her up and carried her into Xuanyuan Yuning's palace. And just as they'd predicted, Hongjia Emperor and Su Yun very quickly appeared in Xuanyuan Yuning's sleeping chamber. Not only that, even Piaoji Great General, Luo Guancheng, appeared in the Princess's chamber. And this person was precisely Qingyan's maternal grandfather.

"Just what in the world happened?" Hongjia Emperor looked to them and coldly interrogated, "How could there be someone that wants to sneak attack Ning'er?" He said as he casted a glance at Xuanyuan Yuning who had a look of self-blame.

"Imperial father, this daughter doesn't know whose doing this was either. But if it wasn't for Qingyan today, then I'm afraid I won't be able to see imperial father anymore." Xuanyuan Yuning said as she threw herself into Hongjia Emperor's arms and began sobbing. "Imperial father, fourth brother said that person has already been caught, but he's already dead."

"Yuzhen, bring that person over for me." Hongjia Emperor looked to Xuanyuan Yuzhen standing in front of him and coldly spoke.

Not long after, that man in black was brought over. And just like Xuanyuan Yuzhen and Murong Jingxuan's initial reaction, Hongjia Emperor recognized his person. Because this person was precisely Xian Consort's shadow guard.

Hongjia Emperor was beyond furious. At once, he grabbed a nearby vase and smashed it to the ground. "Where is the Imperial Lin army commander?"

"This humble subject, Lin Yan, is here." That said, a man dressed in the Imperial Lin army uniform walked over and knelt before Hongjia Emperor, "What are your Majesty's orders?"

"Go bring that woman Feng Qin over for me." Hongjia Emperor said with a gloomy look, "I want to ask her why she wants to kill Ning'er."

"Understood." Lin Yan replied as he took some people with him and disappeared from Yuning's palace.

At the same time, inside the room, Luo Guancheng looked to Qingyan lying on the bed also with a gloomy expression, but his tone was still ever so gentle. "Yan'er, how's your body? Don't worry, grandfather will definitely seek justice for you."

"Grandfather, father, mother, you all don't need to worry. Yan'er's body is fine, it's just the Princess has been frightened." Qingyan looked to them with a smile.

"Little girl, thank you for saving Ning'er's life today." Hongjia Emperor said as he appeared before the crowd. Looking to Qingyan who was lying on the bed, Hongjia Emperor had an ashamed look. "This emperor really didn't think that Feng Qin would actually be this ruthless."

"Your Majesty, today's matter was caused by me. It is this subject-daughter's fault if Princess was frightened." Qingyan looked to Hongjia Emperor with a tranquil look.

Listening to Qingyan's words, Hongjia Emperor instead felt somewhat hard to understand. He looked to Xuanyuan Yuning at his side and softly asked, "Ning'er, what happened before this?"

"Princess, you absolutely can't say. If you say it, wouldn't the Ninth Princess be misunderstood." Qingyan looked to Xuanyuan Yuning, promptly stopping her.

"No, I want to say it." Xuanyuan Yuning looked to Qingyan with a face full of grievance. Afterwards, she lifted her head to look to Hongjia Emperor, lifting up her sleeve. The mark left by the whip was still on her sleeve. "Earlier, Ninth little sister came and bullied me. It was also Yan'er who saved me. Ninth sister even said she won't let us of easily. Who knew that right after, that shadow guard appeared."

Hongjia Emperor saw Xuanyuan Yuning's crying appearance, and for some reason, thought of the former Consort Min. At that time, Consort Min only got along with the Noble Consort. The two of them would always help each other. At that time, he loved hearing them perform together the most. One would dance and the other would play the qin. That was the most beautiful memory of this life.

But in the end, Consort Min left him just like that. When he thought of this, Hongjia Emperor patted Yuning's head, "Don't worry, imperial father will definitely seek justice for you."

"Imperial father, you also have to help Yan'er too! At the very least, Yan'er is also a Junzhu personally bestowed by you. She can also be considered a half daughter to our imperial family." Xuanyuan Yuning looked to Hongjia Emperor with a face full of grievance. "How could something as cruel as harming your own kin have happened today."
