The Fourth Lady

Chapter 374 The Ninth King (Ⅰ)

Su Qingyan knew that's matter of Xuanyuan Shi because he once helped Weisheng Junyan, who had

wanted to unified the four kingdoms while she was in the Southern Star Kingdom. In private, she had

helped him investigate a lot of things, including that of the Ninth King and Ding Shuqi, but she did not

expect that this matter would become an important weapon for them to threaten Xuanyuan Shi. As for

Xuanyuan Shi, Qingyan did not know much about him, but Xuanyuan Yvzhen and Murong Jingxuan

knew him well.

Xuanyuan Shi, as the youngest brother of Emperor Hongjia, was favored. The reason why Emperor

Hongjia could become the emperor at that time was not only because of Princess Chunyuan, but also

because of this brother. His brother was a famous general in the past, and because of his help,

Emperor Hongjia was able to get the throne. Emperor Hongjia was grateful for Xuanyuan Shi, C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

especially when Xuanyuan Shi voluntarily gave up the military leadership.

But it never occurred to Emperor Hongjia that his brother would have an affair with his concubine. Even

if Emperor Hongjia favored Xuanyuan Shi so much, he couldn't accept such a thing, even if his heart

was only occupied by the existence of Qilian Yvran.

"the Ninth King is always the kind of person who won't be threatened by others. I didn't expect that he

would be so afraid of such a thing. Do you think Jing Shuqi still has a very high position in his heart?"

Xuanyuan Yvzhen looked at them and said with a smile, "but what's your better opinion on this matter?

If the Ninth King doesn't help the Crown Prince, then no one else can help him."

"What do you think, Yanyan?" Hearing Xuanyuan Yvzhen's words, Murong Jingxuan looked at

Qingyan. However, Qingyan didn't seem to hear their conversation and was thinking about her own

matters. She didn't come to her senses until Jingxuan spoke again.

"I want to know more information. After all, you all have no idea about what happened between the

Ninth King and Ding Shuqi But I don't think the father would know that they used to be a couple. Later

on, the Ding clan wanted high position and great wealth so they were separated. But I think they would

never think that the person that Ding Shuqi liked was the Ninth King." Qingyan looked at them and said

lightly, "but later when the members of the Ding clan knew it, Ding Shuqi had become the emperor's

woman. In the eyes of the Ding clan, a title of Guifei(*TN: Guifei is a title, means the distinguished

concubine of the emperor) was much higher than the title of Jiuwangfei. But they would never think that

even if she married into the Imperial Palace, she still had an affair with Prince nine."

"I really didn't expect this to happen. Xuanyuan Shi loved Ding Shuqi. But this is the best result for us."

Looking at Qingayn and Yvzhen, Jingxuan said with a smile, "although the emperor is suspicious, he

only believes in the evidence. If the empress tells the emperor the truth, he won't believe it."

"So do you have evidence that the Ninth King and Guifei have an affair?" Xuanyuan Yvzhen asked. He

knew the ability of Murong Jingxuan and Qingyan, but he really didn't expect that they could do this.

They still had the evidence of what happened many years ago.

No one could could it. But they did. Or was it all done by Qingyan alone?

Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Yvzhen looked at Qingyan, who was still meditating.

From the first time he saw this girl, he felt that she was not like a navie girl at her age. Her mind,

wisdom, and strategy were very thorough. Every step she took was firm and unshakable. Once she

took action, her enemy would be killed, as if she had anticipated that the enemy would jump into a trap

prepared beforehand.

Such mature and decisive girl shouldn't be only fourteen years old. Instead, she looked more

domineering than a girl at her age. She was exactly like a superior in her life, as if she could see

through everything after she had gone through a lot of ups and downs.

Just like an empress.

"Yanyan, do you have evidence that Xuanyuan Shi had an affair with Ding Shuqi?" Hearing Xuanyuan

Yvzhen's words, Murong Jingxuan looked at Qingyan.

He only wanted make Xuanyuan Yvzhen feel that now, everything was planned by Qingyan. It was as if

Qingyan had predicted that the empress would go for the help of Xuanyuan Shi.

Everything seemed to be in Qingyan's expectation, "Of course, there is evidence. You don't have to

worry too much." Seeing the two of them, Qingyan smiled and said, "if Xuanyuan Shi really thinks that

he has decided to help the Crown Prince, this evidence will naturally be presented to the emperor at

the right time. I think Xuanyuan Shi is very clear in his heart who is more important."

The two men listened to Qingyan and knew that she did not want to tell them the evidence, or she was

unwilling to tell Xuanyuan Yvzhen. But since Xuanyuan Shi decided not to help the Crown Prince, they

had achieved the goal.

"Then what should we do now? Now that the Ninth King had quitted. What should we do now? "

Xuanyuan Yvzhen asked and looked at Qingyan again.

Seeing Xuanyuan Yvzhen's gaze, Qingyan smiled and said, "fourth brother, don't be too anxious. This

matter is temporarily over. At present, the most important thing is what the Ninth King will choose.

What's more, it's the selection show and the marriage of my brother. One more thing, isn't Xuanyuan

Yvzhe about to marry Su Qingwen?" Qingyan looked at them and added, "so at present, the most

important thing for us is to wait."

Yes, the most important thing for them now was to wait.

They would wait to see what kind of actions the empress would take and what would Xuanyuan Shi

choose in the end?

Even if they had already known Xuanyuan Shi's choice, sometimes they would still choose to confirm

what was in his mind.

They wondered whom matter most in Xuanyuan Shi's heart, Ding Shuqi or Emperor Hongjia.

But they thought Emperor Hongjia was certainly more important. While Emperor Hongjia didn't like

Ding Shuqi, it didn't mean that Xuanyuan Shi didn't pay much attention to her, especially under such

circumstances.

But now, it seemed that everything would be as they expected.
