The Fourth Lady

Chapter 355 Expected Consequences (Ⅱ)

Emperor Hongjia went directly to the Qilian Yvran where Qilian Yvran was. When he arrived at the

Guanjv Palace, he saw Qilian Yvran pruning the plants in the garden. Seeing the emperor, Qilian Yvran

walked up to him with a smile and asked, "Your Majesty, why are you here so early today?"

"Today the court was in a mess. So I came here to see you," said Emperor Hongjia while walking up to

Qilian Yvran.

"If it's because of the Crown Prince, Yanyan and Fourth Prince should have settled the problem, don't

you think so?" asked Zoe, confused

While saying, Emperor Hongjia held onto Qilian Yvran's hand and led her to the bedroom. "That's why

I'm confused now. Many ministers reported to the court that the Crown Prince had done many bad

things on purpose, but it wasn't the case as we saw yesterday."

Hearing that, Qilian Yvran patted him on the shoulder and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Maybe it is

just an accident."

"I would be glad if it was really an accident. But I know it wasn't an accident, but someone did it

purposely." Said Emperor Hongjia with a sigh.

Seeing the reaction of Emperor Hongjia, Qilian Yvran could only ask his maid to prepare the breakfast

today. She would only have her breakfast very late when she was free. There were two reasons: one

was that she wanted to wait for Xuanyuan Yvzhen's arrival, and the other was that she didn't feel

hungry.

"Why haven't you had breakfast yet?" Staring at the breakfast prepared by the maids, Emperor

Hongjia's heart ached.

Qilian Yvran looked at Emperor Hongjia and shook her head. "It's not that I haven't had breakfast yet. I

just get used to my son's company. And from time to time, Yvning will also come."

At this moment, a familiar voice came, "mother, I come here to have your breakfast again."

When Emperor Hongjia looked up, three people were walking towards the table side by side and

saluted him respectfully.

"Fourth Prince, you're here just in time. I didn't expect such a thing would happen to you in the court

today. Haven't you settled the matter?" Emperor Hongjia stared at Xuanyuan Yvzhen and asked, "is

there any accident?"

Xuanyuan Yvzhen sighed with profound resignation as he looked at Emperor Hongjia. "It's true. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Besides, Jingxuan and Yanyan are involved in it, so Jingxuan's very angry."

As Qilian Yvran spoke, she looked at Xuanyuan Yvzhen and asked curiously, "why is Yanyan involved?

What happened? "

Xuanyuan Yvzhen looked at Qilian Yvran with a resigned expression. "I don't know what happened. I

just knew that Jingxuan came to me angrily and said something to me yesterday."

"What did he say?" Qilian Yvran looked at Xuanyuan Yvzhen and asked earnestly, "does he not want to

marry Yanyan?"

Xuanyuan Yvzhen stared at Qilian Yvran and said, "that's not what I mean. He said if I were not

interested in the throne, he wouldn't help the Crown Prince from today on."

"How did it come to this? Everything was good before, wasn't it? " Emperor Hongjia was also shocked

when he heard what Xuanyuan Yvzhen said. "Now that you got the secrets of those ministers, how

dare they still judge the Crown Prince in the court?"

"I think it's because of what the empress has done to Yanyan. That's why Jingxuan quit. "

Xuanyuan Yvzhen didn't know what the empress had told Qingyan, but he could feel that Murong

Jingxuan was angry at that time. He had never seen Murong Jingxuan like that before.

It must be the empress who had done something horrible to Qingyan, and that was why Murong

Jingxuan was so angry.

Just then, a servant girl came in and informed them that Qingyan and Murong Jingxuan were here.

Hearing the news, Emperor Hongjia immediately let them in.

Qingyan didn't expect Emperor Hongjia to be here. But it's fine.

"Yanyan, what happened yesterday?" As Qilian Yvran spoke, she held one of Qingyan's hands, and

said, "was it because of the empress?"

Hearing this, Qingyan hugged her. Even Qilian Yvran could feel her trembling body. "Mother, I once

worked hard to get the news, but the empress even threatened to kill me. What should I do?"

Hearing her words, Emperor Hongjia asked in confusion, "Yanyan, what did you just say?"

Wiping the tears from her eyes, Qingyan knelt down before Emperor Hongjia. "Father, please uphold

justice for me!"

Staring at Qingyan, Emperor Hongjia didn't know what to say. He could only turn to look at Qilian Yvran

for help. Qilian Yvran held Qingyan up and asked, "Yanyan, tell me, what has happened? If it is true, I

will protect you, even if at the cost of my position.''

Looking at them, Qingyan wiped her tears carefully and stated aggrievedly, "yesterday, the empress

summoned me. At first, we had a good conversation, but later I didn't know if I said something wrong

that caused the empress to threaten me. It's all my fault. I tried so hard to help fourth brother, but I

never wanted to be the empress... How could the empress treat me like that? "

After listening to her, Qilian Yvran asked with a frown, "Yanyan, what do you mean the empress's

position?"

"The empress promised me if I married the Crown Prince, I would be the empress. However, I've

engaged to Jingxuan, but the empress still treats me like this. If I am not smart, I might have died in the

Kunning Palace." "Mother, if fourth brother is not interested in the throne, I really don't want to help the

Crown Prince anymore," sobbed Qingyan.

While listening to her, Qingyan turned to look at Emperor Hongjia, who was at a loss for words.

He knew the empress well, especially when it came to the throne. He was not surprised at all that the

empress would say such words.

"Yanyan, don't worry. I will handle it. What do you think we should do?" Said Emperor Hongjia while

looking at Qilian Yvran.

Qilian Yvran said impatiently. "I don't care what you are going to do with this matter. But as long as it

involves Yanyan, I won't take it seriously even if it's the empress. Otherwise, does she really think I am

easy to be bullied?"

Just then, a servant came from outside and said that the Crown Prince was here.
