The Fourth Lady

Chapter 379 Thoughtful Scheming (I)

The empress came back with mixed feelings. When she thought of what Guifei said, she felt frightened.

She didn't expect that the cCrown Prince could be reduced to such a situation because of the few

aggressive words she said to Su Qingyan.

If she hadn't insisted on meeting Su Qingyan, perhaps she wouldn't have ended up like this

"Master, you don't have to worry about it. We don't know whether Guifei was lying to you or not." The

maid comforted the empress, "after all, the Fourth Prince is always on the Crown Prince side. If he

rashly chooses to grab the throne, no one will believe it."

The empress shook her head when she heard the maid's words. "That's because you don't know the

Fourth Prince well. I certainly know him well. In this case, if he really wants to seize the throne, I'm

afraid that there will be more people on his side."

When the empress returned to the Kunning Palace, she saw the Crown Prince standing not far away.

She felt sad for him inexplicably.

And she felt so regretful.

"Mother, where have you been?" When the Crown Prince saw the back of the empress, he wearily

walked up to her. "Mother, I just heard that you went to see Guifei. Why do you bother yourself? It's all

our fault. No matter who you ask for help, it won't change. "

Hearing this, the empress felt sad. "Son, have you ever complained me in your heart?"

palace. Then he ordered servants to prepare hot tea and snacks. "Mother, at first I really hated you, but

you are my mother. I can do nothing about it."

After listening to the Crown Prince, the empress patted his hand remorsefully. "I'm sorry, son. If I

haven't met Qingyan, he might not have chosen to seize the throne now."

The Crown Prince looked at the empress and shook his head helplessly. "Mother, you know better than

me that in my father's heart, who is more important between me and the Fourth Prince. Were it not for

the title of the eldest son, I don't think I'm qualified to the Crown Prince at all."

"Nonsense." The empress looked at the Crown Prince with a serious face and said, "you deserve the

title of Crown Prince. From now on, you can also take charge of the Donghe Kingdom. Now that your

health have almost recovered, I won't allow you to think too much."

"Mother." Looking at the expression of the empress, the Crown Prince said resignedly. He thought of

what Xuanyuan Yvzhen said today in the court. "Mother, it's because what you did that the Fourth

Prince plans to grab the throne now. He used to help me at that time because he didn't want the

Second Prince take the throne."

The empress was fully aware of what had happened back then. At the beginning, Xuanyuan Yvzhen

didn't have any intention of scrambling for the throne. After all, Xuanyuan Yvfan had always been

eyeing the throne. Therefore, the most trustworthy person for the Crown Prince was Xuanyuan Yvzhen.

Now, since Xuanyuan Yvzhen prepared to fight for the throne now, the most advantageous conditions

were all prepared for him in the past.

"Son, I can think of other solutions. After all, it's very important to us." The empress looked at the

Crown Prince and said seriously, "at least we have the whole Xu clan at our back. Your grandfather will

certainly support you."

The Crown Prince looked at the empress and shook his head helplessly. "Mother, we can't go too far.

What I want now is that mother and grandparents are safe. Even if I die now, I have no regrets..."

"I won't let you die." The empress interrupted the Crown Prince cruelly. Holding his hands, she said

seriously, "Son, you have to believe me. I will never let you lose the title. After you are born, you are my

only hope.

Seeing the expression on the Empress' face, the Crown Prince was speechless. The reason why he

came to the empress today was to tell her that he decided to give up, but now when he saw the

expression on the empress's face, he could not say anything.

The woman in front of him was his mother, who had given birth to and raised him. Since this was all

what his mother wanted, what if he tried his best to fight for the throne?

After comforting the empress, the Crown Prince left the Kunning Palace. Looking at the scenery

outside the palace, he was absent-minded for a moment. Thinking of what he had done before, he felt

sorry for the empress. After all, everything she had done was for him.

All she did was for the sake of him.

But he didn't think he would get married with Su Qingyan. Murong Jingxuan already proposed to her,

and everyone in the Diqiu City knew about it.

But even so, since he had decided to have a try, he should remove these misgivings from his head

now.

After all, Junzhu Leyi was also a woman, and he was not afraid of her.

***

When Su Qingyan heard the news, she was in Qilian Yvran's palace. Seeing the expression on her

face, Qilian Yvran didn't know what she was thinking about.

She was very clear about the matter of Ding Shuqi and Xuanyuan Shi, and Emperor Hongjia trusted

her very much. If Qilian Yvran told the truth to Emperor Hongjia, he would certainly belive it.

"Yanyan, what are you thinking about? Is that because of Ding Shuqi or Xv Shiwan? "

Hearing this, Qingyan looked up at her with a smile. "Mother, I'm thinking about the matter of Ding

Shuqi. I think she will turn to your side in ten days."

"Okay!" Xuanyuan Yvzhen asked with curiosity, "why do you think so? We threatened the Ninth King

not to help the Crown Prince yesterday, and now Guifei wanted to be on mother's side?

Hearing what Qingyan said, Murong Jingxuan lifted the corners of his mouth. "Yanyan, that's a good

idea, of course. But do you really think Guifei will really surrender to us?"

Qilian Yvran and Xuanyuan Yvzhen were also surprised. Xuanyuan Yvzhen asked, "Jingxuan, do you

also think that?"

Looking at Xuanyuan Yvzhen and Qilian Yvran, Murong Jingxuan nodded earnestly. "I'm sure. I believe

that Guifei will definitely turn to my mother. It's not because of anything else, but because my mother is

the most favorite woman of his majesty."

"So what?" asked Qilian Yvran confusedly

Qingyan looked at them and said indifferently, "we blackmailed the Ninth King yesterday. I think he

must have told this to Guifei. With some deduction, she would know that mother also knows her

secrets. Since mother know this, why didn't you tell his majesty? There is only one answer. " After a

pause, Qingyan continued, "She will think that you are giving her a chance, a chance which can

change her life and fate.''
