The Fourth Lady

Chapter 92 Forest of Buried Souls IV

Murong Jingxuan looked to her with a serious face and replied, "On the night Qilian Qingyan died, after

hearing the news, King Rui immediately sent someone to rescue the Crown Prince and Princess from

the palace. So there's a possibility that they've been raised by King Rui's side this whole time."

Weisheng Junmo, could he really have rescued her two children?

"But why is it that Nanchen didn't reestablish a new Crown Prince?" Qingyan asked with a frown.

"The specifics of the matter, I don't know. In any case, I only know that Weisheng Minning is still the

Crown Prince." He said as he stoked her hair, "Don't worry, everything will all be fine."

Qingyan knew that this was Murong Jingxuan trying to comfort her. But if Weisheng Junmo did take

away her children, then she also felt relieved. After all, he also liked those children very much.

He would definitely regard them like his own children.

"Murong Jingxuan, do you think I'll really be able to see my father, mother, and older brother return Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

home safely at this time tomorrow?" Qingyan looked up to him with a hopeful look.

"Naturally, they'll definitely return home safely. Even if they had a hundred people, they wouldn't be a

match for those animals. This bit, are you still not convinced?" Murong Jingxuan said as he lovingly

pulled her into his embrace, "Don't need to worry."

Qingyan thought over what he said and felt it made a lot of sense. She got up, walked over to the desk,

picked up the brush, and continued to copy the Diamond Sutra. This sutra she has already copied who

knows how many times. But if her family can return home safely, then even if she has to copy it a

hundred times, she was willing to.

"Yan'er, how about you don't copy the Diamond Sutra anymore today, I'll take you to get something

good to eat." Murong Jingxuan scooped her delicate body into his arms, "My Julong Zhai came out with

some new dishes today."

Before Qingyan could even object, Murong Jingxuan had already brought her out of her family's

ancestral hall.

Feeling the cold breeze brush past her ear, Qingyan's gloomy mood seems to have also swept away

with the wind.

"Do you feel better now?"

Hearing Murong Jingxuan's words, Qingyan looked to him and nodded, afterwards, whispering in her

heart:

Thank you.

Murong Jingxuan directly brought Qingyan to a private room in Julong Zhai. And when he pushed open

the door to the private room, he found Xuanyuan Yuzhen and Xuanyuan Yukai sitting there waiting for

him.

Seeing this, they also had a look of surprise on their face, but Xuanyuan Yuzhen's expression

remained calm.

Murong Jingxuan placed Qingyan down and brought her to her seat, his annoyed voice then sounding,

"Why did you come without being invited, I'm busy."

"Jingxuan, I came because I wanted to tell you, today in the Imperial Court that Jingguo Marquis filed a

complaint against Su Yun." Xuanyuan Yuzhen said as he shot a glance at Qingyan. And when Qingyan

heard this, her hand lifting the teacup stopped momentarily.

"Oh!" Murong Jingxuan pulled out the chair and sat down, "Hasn't that foolish old man always been

restless lately?" Murong Jingxuan said with a disdained look.

"Jingguo Marquis said that General Su Yun taking his time to return to the capital, is obviously being

disrespectful to father." Xuanyuan Yuzhen coldly snorted as he played with the teacup in hand, "But do

you know what father said?"

"What did he say?"

"Brother Jingxuan, let me tell you!" Xuanyuan Yukai began imitating Hongjia Emperor's voice, "Dear

Minister Ning, if you were to go out and lead troops into battle, I reckon you'll end up continuously

suffering defeat." Yukai paused for a moment, before continuing, "Afterwards that old man didn't say

anything. Isn't father protective of Su General?!"

When Xuanyuan Yuzhen was saying these things, he would often unconsciously look in Qingyan's

direction. Qingyan naturally knew these were purposely said for her to hear. Seeing Murong Jingxuan

remain silent, Qingyan smiles and replies, "Fourth Prince, since you've come, why don't you tell us

what you've come for. Why bother being so roundabout?"

Xuanyuan Yuzhen looked to Qingyan when she said this, unconsciously choking. Although he did say

these things on purpose for her to hear, when said out loud, it seemed as if he was being a bit mean.

"Yuzhen, since you're already here, let us hear your thoughts." Murong Jingxuan had already told him

everything about the matter with Xiu Ran. And this time, his reason for coming most likely had to do

with Jingguo Marquis.

Xuanyuan Yuzhen glanced to the side at Yukai, slowly replying, "I just want to hear how you plan on

dealing with Jingguo Marquis."

This was Xuanyuan Yuzhen's first thought. Although Murong Jingxuan didn't tell him much, he also had

his own death soldiers under him. So some things he could still look into himself; for example, the

incident this time at the Forest of Buried Souls.

However, he never thought that Jingguo Marquis would chose to strike on their way back to the capital.

This move could only be considered 'seeking victory through danger'. As for their probability of

success, he didn't know. After all, those people by his side are not to be trifled with.

"Yan'er was the one that told me about the matter with Xiu Ran." Murong Jingxuan looked to Xuanyuan

Yuzhen and said, "Else, I would have never thought Xiu Ran was on the Ning family's side."

Murong Jingxuan had told him about the matter regarding Xiu Ran, however he didn't know the

information came from Su Qingyan. When he looked to her, his gaze unconsciously relaxed.

"Miss Su, why do you know about the matter with Xiu Ran?"

Qingyan met with his gaze, "What? Aren't I helping the Fourth Prince? As for where I got this

information, it's not important."

What kind of people hasn't Qingyan seen. This kind of cold and detached person, she's seen more

than enough. But she really didn't like this kind of naturally doubtful Xuanyuan Yuzhen from the bottom

of her heart.

"Yuzhen, she's on our side, no need to doubt her." Murong Jingxuan reluctantly interjected. "I know

your dream, moreover..." He glanced to Qingyan, before continuing, "She also knows your dream."

"Oh!" Xuanyuan Yuzhen turned to Qingyan, "Then let's hear Miss Su say what my dream is?"

"What's more alluring than the seat atop the world?" Qingyan looked back at him and calmly spoke,

"Fourth Prince, am I right?"

Xuanyuan Yukai also knew this was Xuanyuan Yuzhen's goal. Even though on the surface they sided

with the Crown Prince, they'd more or less tried to win over a few Imperial Ministers. But they very

much understood in their hearts that they were all grooming themselves.

"That's right." Xuanyuan Yuzhen slowly spoke, "That's certainly my goal." He twirled the jade ring on

his finger, "However, in the end, I'm just not confident I can leave this world in the hands of the Crown

Prince or the other Princes."

Qingyan smiled. Although she'd only met those Princes of Donghe once, she already understood more

than enough what kind of people they were. And for Xuanyuan Yuzhen to say these things, wasn't out

of reason.

"Then I will help the Fourth Prince obtain this world. Help you conquer the other three kingdoms and

unify the world."
