The Fourth Lady

Chapter 375 The Ninth King (Ⅱ)

It was already late night when Xuanyuan Shi returned. It was not because that Yaochi did not escort

him correctly, but that Yaochi had encountered some trouble on the way, and these people were

obviously coming for Yaochi. The first thought came to Yaochi was that these people were the

subordiantes of Xuanyuan Shi. And it turned out that he was not wrong, because just when he dealt

with these people in black, Xuanyuan Shi was already nowhere to be found.

However, Yaochi knew that Xuanyuan Shi had returned to the mansion, and he had also completed his

mission. Moreover, Qingyan wasn't very concerned about what had happened at that time, not to

mention that their only goal was not to stop Xuanyuan Shi from helping the Xuanyuan Shi. Thus, their

goal was very successful for now.

Xuanyuan Shi was cautiously afraid of Xuanyuan Yvzhen, or the strength behind Murong Jingxuan.

However, he would definitely not think that all the things were under the control of Su Qingyan. Qingyan

was the real key character behind it.

Xuanyuan Shi didn't know what mood he was when he walked into the mansion. The words of

Xuanyuan Yvzhen and Murong Jingxuan still kept resounding in his ears. In fact, he had originally

planned to help the Crown Prince. Although the Crown Prince and the Third Prince didn't get along

well, anyhow, Emperor Hongjia was his brother. If he helped the Crown Prince win the throne, he

thought at least Emperor Hongjia would be happy.

After all, Emperor Hongjia was not the eldest son of the family, but he managed to become the emperor

after he killed his eldest brother. Outsiders did not know it, but Xuanyuan Shi knew clearly about it.

In order to take the throne, Xuanyuan Hong had used all kinds of methods, and he had even thought of

murdering the Crown Prince. However, Emperor Hongjia certainly hadn't thought that his son would do

it the same way now.

The Crown Prince was Emperor Hongjia's eldest son, but Xuanyuan Shi was clear in his mind that the

best candidate for the throne was Xuanyuan Yvzhen. Because he was the prince who was qualified for

the throne.

The Crown Prince, Second Prince and the other princes were indeed slightly inferior Xuanyuan

Yvzhen.

Therefore, Xuanyuan Shi was clear in his mind that Emperor Hongjia preferred Xuanyuan Yvzhen to

take the throne.

Xuanyuan Yvzhen onced helped the Crown Prince because he did not want the throne. Now that

Xuanyuan Yvzhen was ready to take the throne, the Crown Prince would be the first one him to deal

with. However, according Xuanyuan Yvzhen's character, naturally, he would put this matter at last.

And now the most important thing for him was decide whether to help the empress or not.

The empress knew that he had an affair with Shuqi, but he believed that the empress wouldn't have

any solid evidence to prove it. Therefore, there was no need to worry about it. However, he hadn't

known the real strength behind Murong Jingxuan, so according to the character of Murong Jingxuan

and Xuanyuan Yvzhen, Emperor Hongjia would probably believe in them.

As for Su Qingyan, Xuanyuan Shi thought that until now, he still hadn't figured out where this girl's

strength was.

If she was just an ordinary girl, then she was a little bit more brutal than those girls, and she had the

strength could only be exuded by aggressive men.

She possessed a very recognized mind and was very scheming.

Especially the way Yaochi called Qingyan caused his attention.

Although he was an idle king who had nothing to do, he also had a group of very powerful cannon

fodders. These daredevils had said that the three men with Qingyan were from the Wanshou Pavilion.

He did not know what the power of the Wanshou Pavilion, and he couldn't figure out the reason why

Yaochi would work for Su Qingyan.

"Are you sure the person who sent me back today is the head of the four guardians of the Wanshou

Pavilion?" Xuanyuan Shi said coldly to the air, "I don't believe that Su Qingyan has such a great ability

to make the four guardians of the Wanshou Pavilion for her own use."

As Xuanyuan Shi was speaking, a man in black appeared in front of him. "Master, I've investigated.

The three men around Junzhu are indeed the four guardians of the Wanshou Pavilion."

"Do you know Junzhu's true identity?" Xuanyuan Shi looked at the man in black and continued in a

deep voice, "I don't believe this girl has such ability to take them for her own use."

"Mistress, since you know Wanshou Pavilion, you must know the rule of it." The man in black looked at

Xuanyuan Shi and said respectfully, "the people of the Wanshou Pavilion always recognize the

rhythmics, not people. I think Junzhu is the new leader of the Sect Supremo."

Hearing the man's words, Xuanyuan Shi's eyes widened. "Are you serious?"

Was Su Qingyan the new leader of the Wanshou Pavilion? That was to say, now all the things were

under the control of Su Qingyan, not Murong Jingxuan and Xuanyuan Yvzhen. As a matter of fact, this

was probably the reason why Su Qingyan dared to say those words to him unscrupulously.

"I just heard about it. I have been travelling in the world of martial arts all year round, so I know nothing

about it." The man in black looked at Xuanyuan Shi and continued with respect, "however, judging from Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

the current situation, I think that the rumors are not false."

Hearing the man's words, Xuanyuan Shi thought for a moment and signaled him to retreat.

The man in black glanced at Xuanyuan Shi's expression and revealed a smile.

Xuanyuan Shi looked at the furnishings in the Study Room and was lost in thought. This room was

carefully made for him by Emperor Hongjia when he was a prince. He liked Ding Shuqi very much, but

it wasn't Emperor Hongjia's fault, but when it was the Ding clan who had torn them apart. If he still

holds hatred he should not hate Emperor Hongjia, but the Ding clan.

But in this case, what's the point of hating the Ding clan? Xuanyuan Yvzhe was not Emperor Hongjia's

biological son, but he was kept by Emperor Hongjia. At the thought of this, Xuanyuan Shi could only

feel inexplicably sad.

Back then, the scene that Xuanyuan Yvzhe happened to find out his secret was still ringing in his mind.

Xuanyuan Yvzhe was his own son, but his words made Xuanyuan Shi heartbroken. However, even

though the empress knew that he had an affair with Ding Shuqi, it did not mean that she knew

thatXuanyuan Yvzhe was not Xuanyuan Yvzhe's biological son.

But Xuanyuan Yvzhe seemed to have decided to help Xuanyuan Yvzhen. Besides, Xuanyuan Yvzhe's

character decided he would not fit to be the emperor. Sooner or later, the Donghe Kingdom would be

taken over by another emperor. He might as well choose to help Xuanyuan Yvzhen win the throne. At

the very least, in Xuanyuan Yvzhen's heart, he would be of some use.
