The Fourth Lady

Chapter 134 Withholding Information

Xuanyuan Yukai expressionlessly watched Xian Consort get dragged away. Not only him, even the

people next to him all had a blank expression.

If Hongjia Emperor really had to choose, Luo Guancheng and Su Yun were more important. Not to

mention Xian Consort's moral conduct was also put there.

"Beloved official Su, how's your beloved daughter's situation?" Hongjia Emperor looked to Su Yun and

calmly spoke, as if everything that had just happened had nothing to do with him.

The most heartless is the Imperial family.

"I've troubled your Majesty for worrying. Yan'er's situation is already stable." Su Yun looked to Hongjia

Emperor and replied with a serious face.

"Yuzhen, inform the servants, tonight's Dragon Gate Banquet will progress as usual. We can't delay

official Su's celebration because of this matter." Hongjia Emperor said as he casted his gaze at

Xuanyuan Yuzhen.

"This son understands." Xuanyuan Yuzhen turned and left first. Afterwards, Xuanyuan Yukai and the

others also followed suit and left.

Hongjia Emperor watched their backs in the distance and turned again to Su Yun, "Beloved official Su,

this Emperor is sorry towards you about this matter."

"Your Majesty, no need to say more. These are all things this humble subject should do." Su Yun

looked to Hongjia Emperor with a calm look. "Since she's my daughter, then naturally she needs to

protect the Princess too."

"Ning'er, go back and take good care of Yan'er." Hongjia Emperor looked to Xuanyuan Yuning and

instructed with a serious look. "Absolutely don't let any mishap happen."

Xuanyuan Yuning turned to Hongjia Emperor and spoke with a smile, "Imperial father don't worry,

Yan'er and I are close like sisters, naturally I'll take good care of her." She said as she lead them into

the sleeping chamber. And when they walked into the inner room, they saw Murong Jingxuan applying

medicine for Qingyan.

"Big brother Jingxuan, let me apply the medicine for Yan'er." Xuanyuan Yuning said as she tried to take

the towel from Murong Jingxuan's hand. But just then, she saw something appear from behind

Qingyan. A black and gold color phoenix rose from the dense water vapor, spreading its wings and

flying high. That appearance startled Yuning, and made her retreat a step.

Qingyan saw Xuanyuan Yuning's appearance and just knew she saw that black and gold phoenix on

her back. "Ning'er, could it be that this phoenix scared you?"

Xuanyuan Yuning looked to Qingyan and shook her head, "This is my first time seeing this kind of

colored phoenix. Why don't I usually see this phoenix?"

"This is pigeon blood. It can only appear after warming up." Qingyan looked to Xuanyuan Yuning and

spoke with a smile.

This was also Murong Jingxuan's first time seeing this kind of colored phoenix. However, it seems to

have similarities to the purple and gold dragon on his back.

The purple and gold dragon on Murong Jingxuan's back, aside from his personal guards, Fengshuang,

Fengqing, and Fengluo, all others know nothing about it. Even Xuanyuan Yuzhen didn't know about it

either.

"Shizi, it's better to let the Princess apply the medicine for me." Qingyan looked to the absentminded

Murong Jingxuan behind her and helplessly spoke, "Men and women are different after all. I'm still a

girl not of marriageable age yet."

Murong Jingxuan didn't say anything more and handed the things in his hand to Xuanyuan Yuning,

"Little Yan'er, tonight, you need to be extra careful." With that said, Murong Jingxuan walked out from

the Princess's sleeping chamber and disappeared.

"Yan'er, what's wrong with big brother Jingxuan?" Xuanyuan Yuning looked to Qingyan and worryingly

asked. It was like as if something incredible happened.

Qingyan also didn't know what was wrong with Murong Jingxuan either, but she more or less felt that

this matter was related to the black and gold phoenix on her back. When this phoenix first appeared,

she was also more or less surprised, but when she thought of Priest Yunhen's words, she also felt that

this was perhaps something destined by the heavens in this vast and mysterious world.

"Yan'er, the phoenix on your back is quite beautiful." Mu Zhimin said as she passed the bandages to

Xuanyuan Yuning. "But this is also my first time seeing this kind of colored phoenix."

Ah! NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

Qingyan looked to them still with a gentle smile. "The wound will still need to take some time to recover.

Tonight, you all need to be extra careful. When the time comes, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect

you."

"Is something going to happen tonight?" Mu Zhimin looked to Qingyan with a serious expression. "I saw

fourth brother and sixth brother both with stern expressions."

Qingyan earnestly nodded, "It can be considered yes. But no matter what, I want you all to prioritize

your personal safety."

Qingyan naturally couldn't tell them about Xiuran's plans to assassinate Hongjia Emperor. After all, they

didn't know how many people Xiuran would bring. Only by completing all preparation, can they ensure

that Xiuran won't be able to escape unscathed.

And this to the Jing Marquis manor would be quite a huge hit.

Qingyan thought about Xiuran's goal and couldn't help letting out a blood-thirsty smile. Xiuran, I will let

Qilian Qingyi go accompany you in hell.

The news about Xiuran and Qilian Qingyi having a love affair, she'd heard from Murong Jingxuan. She

really didn't expect that Qilian Qingyi would actually have an affair with Xiuran before entering the

palace. But no worries, they're all going to hell anyways, there's no difference in sooner or later.

--------------------------------

Meanwhile, Xiuran was standing in front of a group of men in black and some archers. These were all

the elites of his death soldiers, and can be considered his last troops.

But it doesn't matter, if he can make Su Yun fall this time, then even if he can't escape unscathed, him

and these men included will have died in their rightful places.

"You all listen carefully, the mission this time must be a success." Xiuran looked to them and coldly

spoke, "If you don't succeed, die for the cause."

"Yes, this subordinate will listen to all of master's orders." The resonating voice of the group of men

sounded.

When Jing Marquis walked into the secret chamber, he saw this scene. Seeing Jing Marquis, Xiuran

waved his hand at them to let them withdraw.

He looked to the approaching Jing Marquis expressionlessly, "Why did you come? Are you afraid I

might incriminate you?"

"Xiuran, you're also my son, how can I not worry for you?" Jing Marquis looked to Xiuran with a

helpless expression, "Why are you so eager to sever all relations?"

"I'm not your son. Your son already died." Xiuran looked to him, still with an empty expression, "No

matter what, even if I die, I won't trouble you all."

"Xiuran!" Jing Marquis looked to him, his voice suddenly softened, "Can't you take it as listening to this

father's begging plead. If you die, do you want me to bear this guilt for the rest of my life?"

"I already said, your son Ning Xiuran already died. When you abandoned him, he already died." Xiuran

looked to him still expressionlessly. "Don't worry, I won't let you get incriminated. Even if I die, I'm

Nanchen's An Marquis's son!"

"Xiuran, you doing this, have you ever considered your mother's feelings? That year, we had no choice

but to abandon you." Jing Marquis just wants Xiuran to give up right now. He didn't want to see Xiuran

die under that kind of circumstances.

Xiuran looked to Jing Marquis's grieving face and kneeled at once. "Father, if you really want to help

me, then just let go and let me do it. Treat it as my last wish before I die." He took out a will and handed

it to Jing Marquis. "If I really unfortunately die during the Dragon Gate Banquet, please remember to

have someone deliver this secret letter into Xiao Yi's hands." With that said, he heavy kowtowed to Jing

Marquis.
