The Fourth Lady

Chapter 131 Xuanyuan Yuxiu

Xuanyuan Yuxiu had never suffered this kind of grievance before. Holding her whip in hand, she ran

the whole way towards Xian Consort's Yichun Palace. Xuanyuan Yuxiu's endless weeping made those

who saw her rather annoyed, especially those palace maids that didn't like her.

They were certain that Xuanyuan Yuxiu must have offended someone, that's why she looked so

battered.

And they certainly have never seen the Ninth Princess so battered before either.

Although the Ninth Princess didn't receive Hongjia Emperor's favor because of her temper, she was still

a treasure in Xian Consort's palm. They'd once seen palace maids being caught and tormented to

death by Xian Consort because they'd said bad things about Xuanyuan Yuxiu.

Xian Consort is the most ruthless one amongst the consorts. Although no one knows how she got the

consort position, towards those things of the past, they've also heard some things. It's just no one

would dare to bring it up front.

Xian Consort was just napping in her sleeping chamber when she heard someone report that

Xuanyuan Yuxiu has come running over crying. She only has this one daughter in this lifetime; for this

daughter, she was even willing to kill and start a fire.

In the beginning, it was precisely because Xuanyuan Yuning and Xuanyuan Yukai bullied Xuanyuan

Yuxiu that she thought of a way to kill their consort-mother. And thus, she was able to successfully take

the consort position.

"Consort-mother, you have to help me!" Xuanyuan Yuxiu, in her battered appearance, lunged towards

Xian Consort.

Xian Consort, seeing her like this, spoke in heartache, "Xiu'er, how did you become like this?"

Xuanyuan Yuxiu looked to Xian Consort and told her everything that happened through tears. Xian

Consort didn't really believe Xuanyuan Yuxiu's words too much. Although Xuanyuan Yuxiu's martial art

skills isn't all that much, her ability with using the whip was something. If there's someone that could

seize the whip at once, then that person's inner energy must be profound.

But Su Yun's daughter, Su Qingyan simply couldn't have reach that level. She was just someone who

was the laughing stock of the inner palace's teatime.

"Xiu'er, are you certain it was Su Qingyan's doing?" Xian Consort looked to Xuanyuan Yuxiu and asked

in astonishment. "But from what I know, that Su Qingyan is just an idiot. She can't possibly have that

kind of profound inner energy."

"Does consort-mother not believe me?" Xuanyuan Yuxiu looked to Xian Consort with a pitiful look as

she wiped her tears. "But everything your child has said is the truth. You have to believe me!"

"Xiu'er, it's not that consort-mother doesn't believe you." Xian Consort patted Xuanyuan Yuxiu's

shoulders, "If it's really as you say it is, I will definitely avenge you during today's Dragon Gate

Banquet." Xian Consort said as she clenched her fist. "Xiu'er, believe in your consort-mother." Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Xuanyuan Yuxiu earnestly nodded at Xian Consort, "I naturally believe consort-mother."

Xian Consort comforted Xuanyuan Yuxiu for a while, before she finally left Yichun Palace. After

Xuanyuan Yuxiu left Yichun Palace, Xian Consort made the most skilled shadow guard at her side go

investigate Su Qingyan.

Qingyan knew that Xuanyuan Yuxiu would definitely go find Xian Consort. Although she had no

intention of targeting Xian Consort, she was also Xuanyuan Yuning and Xuanyuan Yukai's friend now

after all. A friend's enemy naturally is also her enemy.

Furthermore, their consort-mother's death that year is also related to this Xian Consort.

However she'd heard this from Murong Jingxuan, Xuanyuan Yuning and Xuanyuan Yukai doesn't know

about the truth of this matter. Probably because Xuanyuan Yuzhen felt the truth was too cruel, so he

couldn't bear telling them all this time.

"Qingyan, just now, you were really impressive." Luo Yixin looked to Qingyan with a smile, "Yan'er

really has become different than before."

"As long as I'm still that Qingyan in Xin'er's heart, I'm happy." Qingyan slightly smiled at Luo Yixin. She

looked to the side at those people who were playing happily and pulled along Luo Yixin's hand, "Let's

go play too."

Luo Yixin felt the warmth coming from her palm. Facing Qingyan, she nodded.

Mu Zhimin, Xuanyuan Yuning, Su Qingxue, and Su Qingcong were all happily playing in the courtyard

outside the princess's sleeping chamber. But suddenly at this time, Qingyan could sense a clear killing

intent, and this killing intent seems to be directed towards them.

When Qingyan lifted her head, she was met with a man in black's cold gaze. She didn't know the

origins of this man in black, but those who dare to harm the people she wants to protect can only die.

"Merely just a General's idiot daughter, and you still want to protect this many people." The man in

black looked to them and chillingly spoke.

Qingyan looked towards the people behind her who'd already stopped, and calmly instructed, "Ning'er,

quickly yell for help, someone wants to assassinate you."

Xuanyuan Yuning certainly was stunned when she saw such a scene. She could only loudly yell out for

help, screaming there's someone that wants to kill her and that assassins have appeared in the palace.

Just then, Qingyan shot out a willow leaf blade from her hand, directly targetting that person's heart.

And before that person could even react, he'd already fallen down from the roof. Xuanyuan Yuzhen,

Xuanyuan Yukai, and Murong Jingxuan, who'd quickly rushed over, all saw this scene.

Between the man in black's brows stabbed a willow leaf blade, evidently showing that it was the killing

hit.

"Ning'er, how are you?" When Xuanyuan Yukai saw Xuanyuan Yuning, he immediately pulled her into

his embrace. "It's all big brother's fault, let you be startled."

"Sixth brother, I'm fine. Fortunately Qingyan was here. That's why I was able luckily escape danger."

Xuanyuan Yuning pulled on Xuanyuan Yukai's sleeve, her fright still not settled.

Qingyan walked over next to the man in black, and without a word, pulled down that person's mask.

Murong Jingxuan and Xuanyuan Yuzhen immediately recognized this person. He was precisely Xian

Consort, Feng Qin's shadow guard.

"You know who he is?" Qingyan looked to the two of them, who had their brows tightly creased, and

asked with a laugh, "As I've expected."

"You also know who he is?" The two of them looked to Qingyan, with a look of doubt on their face.

"What do you think?" Qingyan lifted her head up, "I just bullied Xuanyuan Yuxiu, and this appeared.

What does this prove? Very simple, this shadow guard is Xian Consort's person." She said as she

kicked the man lying on the ground once. "However, why don't we utilize the things that have come to

us." Qingyan looked to them with her eyebrows raised.

"Just what does Xian Consort want?" Xuanyuan Yukai's discontent voice sounded, "To think she

wanted to kill Ning'er. Fourth brother, this time I definitely won't let that woman off easily."

Qingyan rarely saw the usually childish Xuanyuan Yukai get angry. She didn't expect that a shadow

guard could actually bring out a person's natural instincts like this. Seems like this Xuanyuan Yukai isn't

as she'd imagined to be.

However, that should be the case. Of those who live in the Imperial Palace, which one is a simple

existent?

"Sixth Prince, this time, it's because of me that this happened to Ning'er. How about I give a gift to Sixth

Prince as an apology?" Qingyan looked to the man in black on the ground and smilingly curved her

lips.

Xian Consort ah, you really shouldn't have touched my bottom line.
