The Fourth Lady

Chapter 130 To Commit a Sin III

Xuanyuan Yuzhen finally understood now why Murong Jingxuan would fall in love with this girl at that

time. You can't help but say that this girl can be even more meticulous than them sometimes.

Moreover, she seems to understand how to control the overall situation.

Even if this situation is more harm than good to her, she can still guarantee that the general situation is

within her control in the end.

This perhaps is the reason why Qingyan can successfully turn any peril into safety.

"Why do we need to send people to protect great-aunt?" Xuanyuan Yuzhen asked with a perplexed

face. There shouldn't be anyone that will attack her, so he only sent people to protect Hongjia Emperor

and Imperial Noble Consort.

"Fourth Prince, you probably think that no one will attack Elder Princess, so you didn't send anyone to

protect her, right?" Qingyan looked to Xuanyuan Yuzhen and casually spoke.

Seeing Qingyan's gaze directed at him, Xuanyuan Yuzhen felt a bit guilty. Sometimes, he felt that

Qingyan isn't just a young girl who has yet to reach 15. She seems to carry a very dignified aura on

her, like someone of a high status. Furthermore, she seems to also carry a killing resolution and

courage that only someone with a high status would have.

If it were to be said that this is because she's a descendant of a martial lineage that she has this kind of

feeling, he wouldn't believe it in the least.

"Exactly."

"If Xiuran were to sneak attack the Emperor alone himself, then he should only target the Emperor. But

if Xiuran were to bring in the death soldiers, then the death soldiers who are usually loyal to their

master, would definitely openly kill anyone when the time comes. Even if the end result is death, they

would still relentlessly try to kill everyone." Qingyan still spoke in a nonchalant tone, "That's why you

must send someone to protect the Elder Princess."

Chunyuan Elder Princess was also her empress-mother (in-law).

"Don't worry, hearing you say this now, I naturally will dispatch people to protect great-aunt." Xuanyuan

Yuzhen looked to Qingyan, and seeing that she wasn't continuing, he spoke, "Do you still need to rest

here for a while?"

Qingyan shook her head at them, "I want to go out and walk for a bit. I can't just lay here the whole

time."

Murong Jingxuan saw that her complexion was slowly beginning to become rosy, and thus felt relieved.

Qingyan's body he was more than clear about, she simply wasn't suited to do those things, yet she just

has to do everything herself.

"Alright, then Jingxuan, you accompany Qingyan. I'll go arrange the related matters." Xuanyuan

Yuzhen glanced at Murong Jingxuan, before turning to leave.

Seeing Xuanyuan Yuzhen turning to leave, Murong Jingxuan looked to Qingyan and couldn't hold back

tapping her nose. "Yan'er, I discovered that Fourth Prince seems to have fallen for you."

Qingyan looked to Murong Jingxuan's jealous appearance and nodded while smiling, "Right, how about

I just follow him instead, being his princess consort is pretty good. In any case, he's more reliable than

you, who likes to loiter around the red light distract."

Murong Jingxuan tightly confined Qingyan in his embrace at once, "I won't allow it. You're mine. Even if

it's the Fourth Prince, I won't allow." His tone was extremely forceful, like as if he's determined that

Qingyan can only have him alone in this life.

"Jingxuan, since I've already chosen you, my heart won't be moved by another." Qingyan lifted her

head to look at Murong Jingxuan, still smiling brightly, "After I reach marriageable age*, if you're willing,

I'll marry you."

(*T/N: At 15 for girls.)

Hearing Qingyan's words, Murong Jingxuan smiled, "Are you telling the truth? Are you really willing to

marry me, you won't back out?"

Qingyan hugged him back, with a relaxed expression, "If you don't mind it, then I'm willing to marry

you."

"Alright, then I'll wait a year for you. Wait until after the matters in Donghe are settle, I'll take you as my

wife." Murong Jingxuan took down the jade pendant hanging before his chest and handed it to

Qingyan, "This was given to me by my consort-mother. She said that if I meet a girl I like, then to give it

to her. Now, I'm giving it to you."

When Qingyan saw the jade pendant, the corner of her lips curved. This jade pendant was originally

given to Zhongli Jingshu by Qilian Qingyan. At that time, she once said to Zhongli Jingshu that if she

gives birth to a daughter, then the two of them can bind as in-laws. If it's a son, then they can be

brothers. And now, this jade pendant was delivered back into her hands.

Murong Jingxuan smiled at the entranced Qingyan, "This jade pendant was given to my consort-mother

by Xianyi Empress. And now, it's considered to have returned to your hands."

Qingyan looked up to Murong Jingxuan, "Did she tell you that this jade pendant was given to her by

me?"

Murong Jingxuan looked to Qingyan and nodded, "Consort-mother once mentioned Xianyi Empress's

matters in a letter before. But ever since Xianyi Empress passed away five years ago, she's never

mentioned her again. And she also gave this jade pendant to me. Once there's a chance, I'll take you

to meet my royal-father and consort-mother."

(T/N: Murong Jingxuan's father has the title 'Wang' but unlike the Emperor's brothers who also receives

this title, his father presumably rules over a vassal kingdom or region, whereas the Emperor's brothers

usually don't have much power. His father is more of a proper vassal king in comparison to those that

just have the title. But because they are not blood related to the imperial family he's not really

considered royalty.)

Qingyan earnestly nodded at him, "Alright."

"Big sister, big sister.....that bad woman whipped big sister Ning. Right now, she's also preparing to

bully big sister Min." Su Qingcong suddenly appeared before Qingyan.

Listening to Su Qingcong, Qingyan's brows tightly furrowed. She looked up and glanced at Murong

Jingxuan next to her. The latter carried a blood thirsty smile on his lips, "Handle it however you like."

"Alright." Qingyan said as she headed out with Su Qingcong. But before she could even reach the door,

she heard Xuanyuan Yuxiu's disdainful voice come through.

"What? A disaster star that even cursed her parents to death, what right do you have to block my path."

"So it's the Ninth Princess. I wonder what the Ninth Princess has come to look for this subject-daughter

for?" Qingyan looked to Xuanyuan Yuxiu and slowly walked in front of her, unconsciously walking in

front of Mu Zhimin and Xuanyuan Yuning.

"You whore, who let Jingxuan only like you alone." Xuanyuan Yuxiu said as she lashed her whip

towards Qingyan, but Qingyan immediately seized the other end of the whip.

Xuanyuan Yuxiu completely didn't expect that Qingyan could actually easily avoid the whip. Angry and

flustered, she called out, "Su Qingyan, you whore, let go."

"Xue'er, Cong'er, and Xin'er, close your eyes." Qingyan looked to the three people behind her and

calmly spoke.

Mu Zhimin and Xuanyuan Yuning glanced to Qingyan in confusion, and the three behind her all

obediently closed their eyes. Mu Zhimin and Xuanyuan Yuning only saw Qingyan slightly exerting force

from her palm and pulled Xuanyuan Yuxiu over at once, she even took the opportunity to grab her by

the throat.

"Su Qingyan, how dare you!?" Before Xuanyuan Yuxiu could react, Su Qingyan had already seized her

by the throat. Moreover, it seems that with just a little bit of strength, she can swiftly be killed.

"I just want Ninth Princess to know, I, Su Qingyan, isn't someone that's easily bullied." Qingyan coldly

spoke to Xuanyuan Yuxiu, "How about it, want to see what death taste like?"

"Su Qingyan, if you kill me, you can't get away either. Imperial father won't let you off." Xuanyuan Yuxiu

weakly spoke.

Su Qingyan took out a delicate needle and directly inserted into Xuanyuan Yuxiu. Afterwards, she

released her hand.

Seeing Xuanyuan Yuxiu wanting to use her inner qi, the corner of Qingyan's lips perked up, "Princess,

it's best if you don't use your inner qi. Else, you won't even know how you died."

"Su Qingyan, I won't let you get away with this!" Xuanyuan Yuxiu picked up her whip from the ground

and angry left.

Yet, she heard Qingyan's voice echoing from behind, "It doesn't matter, If it's going to hell, I'll drag you NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

with me too, Ninth Princess."
