The Fourth Lady

Chapter 373 Help Or Not (Ⅱ)

Hearing what Xuanyuan Yvzhen had said, Xuanyuan Shi had to surrender. Although he could defeat

Xuanyuan Yvzhen, he really didn't know the strength of Murong Jingxuan.

Xuanyuan Yvzhen said with a smile as he looked at Xuanyuan Shi. His hand tapped on the table in a

rhythmic way. "Will you disagree?"

"What do you want me to do for you, Fourth Prince?" Xuanyuan Shi asked with a serious expression as

he stared at Xuanyuan Yvzhen.

"Uncle, it's very simple." Qingyan looked at Xuanyuan Shi with a smile. Holding a glass of water, she

slowly said, "the empress wants your help. We hope you won't intervene."

Hearing her words, Xuanyuan Shi coldly said, "You are just a Junzhu. How dare you act so

presumptuously to me!"

"Well, have you agreed to help the empress?" Looking at Xuanyuan Shi, Qingyan smiled instead of

getting angry. "That's good. I don't mind letting my father know all this in the court tomorrow morning."

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Shi was stunned. He felt a sense of pressure that he had never felt from

Qingyan, and this feeling seemed to be overwhelming him.

He felt like Qingyan was a calm, wise and decisive woman.

"Fourth Prince, please don't let the emperor know it," Xuanyuan Shi said as he looked at Xuanyuan

Yvzhen and asked, "how do you know that the empress has come?"

"The palace is full of our spies. Of course we know that." Xuanyuan Yvzhen stared at Xuanyuan Shi

and said indifferently, "so, are you still considering helping the Crown Prince?"

"You'd better think twice before you say something bad," When Qingyan looked at Xuanyuan Shi, a

smile appeared on her face. But for some reason, Xuanyuan Shi sensed a hint of death from her smile.

Xuanyuan Shi understood what Xuanyuan Yvzhen was thinking when he heard his words. He knew

that Xuanyuan Yvzhen had always been not interested in fighting for the throne, but now, it seemed as

if he was wanting to fight for the throne.

fight for the throne? Xuanyuan Shi's eyes widened all of a sudden. He wondered if Xuanyuan Yvzhen

was planning to seize the throne?

"Fourth Prince, are you going to fight for the throne?" Xuanyuan Shi looked at Xuanyuan Yvzhen and

asked earnestly, "if that's the case, I definitely won't help the Crown Prince."

Because even if he helped the Crown Prince, he still had no confidence of winning. He might as well

choose Xuanyuan Yvzhen, because the man in front of him was doted on by Emperor Hongjia.

"What if I say yes?" Xuanyuan Yvzhen stared at Xuanyuan Shi and spoke calmly, as if he didn't take

Xuanyuan Shi seriously. "In fact, you can help the Crown Prince if you want. However, whether you can

see the sun tomorrow is another matter." Xuanyuan Yvzhen glanced at the darkening sky outside the

window.

Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Shi's mood immediately sank. "I will definitely not help the Crown Prince.

Don't worry, I definitely won't help him."

"That's good." Xuanyuan Yvzhen still said in a low voice as he looked at Xuanyuan Shi. "I hope you still

remember what you said today. Otherwise, if I am in a bad mood someday, I might tell my father by

accident..." Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

"Fourth Prince, don't worry. I won't help the Crown Prince," Xuanyuan Shi promised Xuanyuan Yvzhen

with a frightened face.

Xuanyuan Shi knew the people around him too well. All of them were his closest people and no one

could tell Xuanyuan Yvzhen about this. However, Xuanyuan Yvzhen said that the entire imperial palace

was under his control. This thought was terrifying. It meant that he was in a dangerous situation where

he was easily monitored. The most important thing was that he did not know who spied him at all.

"Yaochi, send him home." Looking at Yaochi, who was standing at the door, Qingyan ordered.

"No, thanks. I can go back myself." Xuanyuan Shi then staggered out of the box of the Jvlong Pavilion.

Looking at Xuanyuan Shi's back as he left, Xuanyuan Yvzhen asked with confusion, "Yanyan, how did

you know the empress would ask for the help of Xuanyuan Shi?"

Xuanyuan Yvzhen didn't know the real situation. Was the entire imperial palace really full of her spies?

"Didn't you say that the entire imperial palace was packed with spies?" Qingyan stared at Xuanyuan

Yvzhen with a smile.

"Yanyan, don't keep me in suspense." Looking at the expression on Qingyan's face, Murong Jingxuan

smiled. He turned to Xuanyuan Yvzhen and said with a smile, "Yanyan is proficient in the language of

all the animals. So the entire imperial palace is filled with her spies."

'What?' Xuanyuan Yvzhen glanced at Qingyan as he said. "Does it mean the ability to communicate

with all the animals?"

Qingyan looked at Xuanyuan Yvzhen and nodded earnestly. "Therefore, all the animals the imperial

palace can become my spies. Even if there are small ants, cicadas, white pigeons, or even parrots,

they can help me."

As soon as Xuanyuan Yvzhen heard what Qingyan said, he laughed. "No wonder the Ninth King

showed that expression. He never expected that the pet he cultivated would become your spy."

"Not only that, Concubine Yi has kept a parrot. It's also willful." Qingyan smiled and said, "so, as long

as we want to know something in the imperial palace, we can know all of them."

"But why do you know that the empress will go to seek help from Concubine Yi?" Xuanyuan Yvzhen

stared at Qingyan in confusion as he stated, "she definitely doesn't want to make friends with

Concubine Yi."

"Because the empress has been driven into a corner." Qingyan looked at them and said indifferently,

"before Fengyi left, she told me that the empress also knew the secret. Imagine this. If the empress

holds this as her hostage and negotiated with Concubine Yi, no one will say no to her conditions. But

Prince Jing is different. Although he has no military power, he is still favored by the emperor. "

Xuanyuan Yvzhen stared at Qingyan and asked with a smile, "so you asked Yaochi to find the Ninth

King and threaten him in the same way?"

"The empress is just a woman. She can do anything to help the Crown Prince. But what if father

doesn't believe in her words?" Looking at them, Qingyan smiled happily. "After what she has done to

me, I don't think the emperor will believe the empress. What's more, you are going to take part in the

fight for the throne. We know exactly whom the emperor tenders to believe."

"It seems that you have already guessed that my father would not believe what the empress said?

That's why you kidnapped the Ninth King here? "
