The Fourth Lady

Chapter 103 Sun Bimeng III

"Has miss thought of a way to deal with this Sun Bimeng?" Qingdai looked to Qingyan, who was

contemplating, and asked.

Qingyan smiled and strode ahead in a good mood, "Qingdai, Fengqing, let's go. Today, this miss is

going to invite you two for a delicious meal at Julong Zhai." With that said, she went on ahead.

Seeing Qingyan's figure turning to leave, Fengqing and Qingdai quickly followed after her. This miss

before them, seemed different than usual. Could it be that she really encountered something good.

The current shopkeeper of Julong Zhai recognized Su Qingyan. When he saw her, he happily went up

to welcome her, "Shizi Consort, you've come at a good time, Shizi is still at his usual spot."

Qingyan let out a gentle smile at the shopkeeper, and afterwards she quite familiarly found her way to

Murong Jingxuan's private room. But she didn't expect that Xuanyuan Yuzhen, Xuanyuan Yukai,

Xuanyuan Yuning, and Mu Zhimin would all be here as well.

The moment she pushed opened the door, Qingyan helplessly held her head. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

"Yan'er, how come you're here? We were just discussing how to deal with the Jingguo Marquis manor."

Murong Jingxuan looked to Qingyan in a good mood.

Xuanyuan Yukai didn't think that Murong Jingxuan would also tell her these kinds of things. Looking to

Qingyan, he couldn't help but to have a bit of a curiosity towards her. This girl before him seemed to

have a calm look in her eyes, but for some reason, he felt this girl perhaps was a match for the usually

smiling Murong Jingxuan.

What kind of personality Murong Jingxuan had, he was more than understanding of. Just like

Xuanyuan Yuzhen next to him, he was always so difficult to see through. It was like as if no one knew

what he was really thinking in his heart. But fortunately, Xuanyuan Yuzhen didn't hide anything from

them.

It was precisely because Xuanyuan Yuzhen was standing on the Crown Prince's side, that they all

stood on the Crown Prince's side. And based on Xuanyuan Yuzhen's personality, this was nothing but a

plan of convenience.

"Is that so." The corner of Qingyan's lips curved up, "It just so happens, I came to find you for this

reason as well." Qingyan met with Murong Jingxuan's gaze smiling.

"Yan'er, could it be that you found out something interesting again?" Murong Jingxuan brought her into

the room and sat her down, "However, I heard Su Qingming seemingly will be returning soon."

Qingyan listened to Murong Jingxuan's words, seamlessly nodding, "That's right, that's why this

surprise will be a great present to give to Su Qingming."

Xuanyuan Yuzhen could tell there was a hidden meaning in her words, "What do you mean by that?"

Qingyan looked to him with a smile, "You probably don't know, but my father save a singer from the

battlefield." Qingyan lifted up the teacup Murong Jingxuan had handed her, "This woman's name is Sun

Bimeng. That Granny Zhang by her side just happens to be the Second Prince's person."

Everyone waited for Su Qingyan to continue speaking, "Since she wants to reach her hand into my

home, let's just see if she has the chance to succeed."

Qingyan's words were cold and detached, as if she carried the decisiveness to kill.

Xuanyuan Yuning and Mu Zhimin didn't understand why they felt this from Qingyan, but they did feel

that Qingyan wasn't as simple as she looked on the surface.

And right now, it already proved that this wasn't a simple matter.

"What do you plan to do? At the end of the month, the Dragon Gate Banquet is going to be held."

Xuanyuan Yuzhen casually spoke, "Do you plan on severing the Jingguo Marquis manor before the

Dragon Gate Banquet?"

Qingyan looked to him, shaking her head, "Naturally no, I've chosen to do it after the banquet.

However, there won't be any less liveliness during the Dragon Gate Banquet."

"What do you mean?" Xuanyuan Yuzhen still looked to her confused.

"Do you really think that they don't have follow up plan, now that Su Yun has returned like this?"

Qingyan raised her head to look into Xuanyuan Yuzhen's eyes, "My guess is that Xiuran plans on

tacking on my father's head the crime of treason during the Dragon Gate Banquet."

When Xuanyuan Yuzhen heard this, he instinctively clenched his fist. A bit of coldness was carried in

his tone when he spoke, "He wouldn't dare! When the time comes, there's only death waiting for him."

"What Yan'er means is that Xiuran will drag along Su Yun as the scapegoat in the end. That's why he's

risking to take this path." Murong Jingxuan thought over Qingyan's words and spoke with an

exceedingly serious tone.

"That's right, and based on Xiuran's reckless personality, he'll definitely make a mistake. And this mess

could become the evidence for my father's crime of treason." Qingyan solemnly spoke to them.

"When the time comes, I'll arrange for some people to secretly protect father." Xuanyuan Yuzhen

looked to Su Qingyan and calmly spoke, "I won't let Xiuran have the chance to succeed."

Qingyan shook her head at him, "This is one option. The second option, I suppose, will need some

effort on Fourth Prince's part. I heard Hongjia Emperor believes in the supernatural?"

"Yes, that Imperial Astrologist* Xuanxin Priest was precisely recommended to him by mother. But

Xuanxin Priest..." Xuanyuan Yuzhen looked to Qingyan, unsure how to explain, "Anyways, Xuanxin

Priest can be trusted."

(*T/N: Correction from previously, as I mistaken astronomy for astrology.)

Qingyan looked to him and knew he wanted to say that Xuanxin Priest once was Qilian Qingyan's

person, and that Qilian Qingyan would never harm Qilian Yuran. This bit, others didn't know, but

Xuanyuan Yuzhen knew very well.

"Naturally Xuanxin Priest can be trusted." Qingyan looked to him, calmly saying, "That's why we need it

to be him that says this, that is, Xiuran is a 'Calamity Star' that will bring disaster to the country. I think

Xuanxin Priest also knows how to carry out this matter."

Murong Jingxuan looked to the two of them. Qingyan knew about Xuanxin's past, and Xuanyuan

Yuzhen also knew about Xuanxin's past. For Xuanxin to have ended up like this today, it was all Qilian

Qingyi's fault.

"Don't worry, I'll keep this matter in mind." Xuanyuan Yuzhen looked to her and said, "What other ideas

do you have?"

Qingyan shook her head at him, "At present, we only need to wait for the opportunity." She lifted the

teacup a second time and slowly drank the tea, "Shizi, the tea leaves here in Julong Zhai sure are one

of a kind."

When Mu Zhimin and Xuanyuan Yuning looked to Qingyan, they couldn't help but to have a good

impression of her.

"Qingyan, I really never thought that you'd even have this kind of ability. Usually, when fourth brother

and sixth brother are discussing these things, they never even take me with them." Xuanyuan Yuning

looked to Qingyan and said with a smile, "But Qingyan, you looked like you carefully deliberate every

step you take."

"En, I agree with Ning'er. Sister, how are you able to do this?" Mu Zhimin looked to her and asked.

Qingyan looked to them, not knowing how to reply to this question.

If she'd went through life and death once, then perhaps she'd understand why Qingyan needed to

carefully deliberate at every step.

Every frightening step, taking the risks, despite knowing the dangers.

But if she doesn't struggle once, how would she know the results.
