The Fourth Lady

Chapter 349 The Privacy

Hearing the sudden cold tone of the empress, Qingyan said indifferently, "of course I'm the daughter of

Marquis Dingguo, Suyun. Do you think I'm someone else?"

Hearing this, the empress realized that she was out of line. She looked at Qingyan and said

apologetically, "I must have frightened you."

She didn't know why she behaved so abnormally just now, as if the young girl in front of her was really

Qilian Qingyan, but the real Qilian Qingyan had died in the fire.

In the past five years, Qilian Yvran hadn't seen Emperor Hongjia because of it.

"Junzhu, where did you get the those confidential information of the ministers?" The empress asked

calmly. "I hope you can give me an honest answer."

"It must be the original reason why you summoned me." Qingyan looked at the empress and said

calmly, "it doesn't matter where I got from. What matters is that I won't harm the Crown Prince."

Hearing what Qingyan said, the empress didn't know how to answer her question. She knew that

Qingyan wouldn't harm the Crown Prince, because the person that Crown Prince helped was not the

Crown Prince, but Xuanyuan Yvzhen.

"Then why did you do your best to help the Crown Prince?" The empress said calmly. But Qingyan

could feel the empress's threatening tone.

"You know it, Lady." Looking at the eyes of the empress, Qingyan smiled, "I'm not helping the Crown

Prince, but to help my fourth brother. The reason is very simple, because he is on the side of the Crown

Prince."

Listening to Qingyan's words, the empress didn't expect that Qingyan would give such a direct answer.

The empress did not expect that she could hear such words from such a young girl.

"What if I kill you now?" The empress looked at Qingyan and said coldly, "killing you now is as easy as

trampling an ant."

"You won't kill me." Qingyan answered calmly.

Seeing the determined look of Qingyan, the empress pretended to be angry. "How do you know I won't

kill you?"

"Lady, if you kill me, do you think the Crown Prince will live till tomorrow? Or do you think you can

secure your status as the empress? "

Unbelievable expression appeared on the empress' face as she listened to Qingyan's words. She

smiled and said, "how do you know that I can't live till tomorrow? I'm not afraid of anything in the world.

If you, a mere Junzhu, can threaten me, how can I survive in the harem?"

"You and I are both fully aware of this matter." Looking at the empress's angry face, Qingyan continued,

"the empress, if you don't want to let others know, you should not do it in the first place."

The empress was surprised to hear this. She had never worried about anything since she became the

empress. But now she felt so guilty in front of Qingyan, as if Qingyan had really grasped some of her

secrets.

"Su Qingyan, I'd like to see what secret you know about me." The empress walked to Qingyan and said

in a low voice, "I'm willing to do anything for the Crown Prince."

"Okay!" Seeing that the empress didn't take her words seriously, Qingyan whispered a name in the

empress's ear. Looking at the expression on the empress's face, Qingyan smiled and asked, "what do

you think of this person's life?"

"You..." "How did you know?" asked the empress, surprised.

"Lady, you can kill me now, but it depends on you whether this person will be alive or not tomorrow."

Raising her eyebrows, Qingyan looked at the empress, "as I said, the day has eyes, the night has ears.

You must be thinking the same. "

The empress took a step back. "What do you want?"

"What?" "To be exact, do you summon me here just because of this matter?'''

The empress looked at the determined expression of Qingyan, and knew that Qingyan had been well

prepared today, especially after she heard the name.

She hadn't heard that name for a long time. One year, two years, five years, ten years or longer...

Why could she hear the name from Su Qingyan now?

"You can go now. I have summoned you today, and I hope only the two of us know it." The empress

looked at Qingyan and said resignedly.

When Qingyan stepped out of the Kunning Palace, she smiled. "As you wish, Lady."

As soon as the maids saw Qingyan walk out of the palace, they ran to the empress and helped the

empress up. "Master, why did you let Junzhu leave! This is obviously a good opportunity. "

"I heard that name." The empress said while looking at the maid. She seemed to have lost her soul. "I

haven't heard the name for many years. Since I entered the imperial palace, I've never heard his name

again. Do you think he's back?"

The servant immediately knew who the empress was referring to. But that person had disappeared for

a long time. Why did he appear at this time? Could it be arranged by someone?

"Master, he was already dead. It's impossible to for him appear now. Junzhu must have lied to you."

The maid looked at the empress and said seriously, "you should know that it was the grandfather who

announce his death. How can it be false?"

The empress shook her head helplessly. "You don't understand. I always don't believe that the elder

master is dead. I didn't expect that he is still alive. But why doesn't he come to me?"

"Master, he was just the adoptive son of the Xv Mansion. Why does your majesty always care about Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

him so much?" The maid looked at the empress in confusion. "What's more, his body had not been

found, so he must have been dead."

The empress looked at the maid, "do you know that he and I grew up together, and I know that he is

the adoptive son of the Xv Mansion. At that time, I didn't find his body, so I once suspected that my

father and grandfather were lying to me, just to deceive me into going to the imperial palace."

"Master, how could you say that?" The maid looked at the empress and said helplessly, "what if

someone has heard it and told it to his majesty?"

"Is it really that important whether the emperor know it or not?" The empress said sadly, covering her

face. "If my father didn't insist on sending me to the imperial palace that year, how could I be sitting

here? In fact, I really don't care about this position at all. What I want is just to see him safely in front of

me. I really like him!"
