The Fourth Lady

Chapter 377 Guifei And Empress (Ⅰ)

Looking at the expression on Xuanyuan Shi's face, Ding Shuqi told him all the news that had been

heard recently. Xuanyuan Shi also got a conclusion from these news that the empress must have

offended Junzhu Leyi, so she came to ask for their help, and that was why she had used such a

method to threaten him.

But what happened when Junzhu Leyi and the empress met each other?

"Beside, do you know what happened between the empress and Junzhu? Why the empress is acting

so abnormal?" Looking at Xuanyuan Shi, Ding Shuqi said seriously, "it seems that Junzhu Leyi a

simple kid."

Xuanyuan Shi listened to Ding Shuqi and couldn't help but frown when he thought of what the

bodyguard had said earlier. Su Qingyan indeed didn't look like a young girl.

"Shi, are you listening?" Looking at Xuanyuan Shi, who was frowning, Ding Shuqi asked seriously,

"where does this Su Qingyan come from?"

Xuanyuan Shi looked at Ding Shuqi and shook his head. "We'd better not to explore the background of

Junzhu for the time being. We only need to know that we can't deal with her."

Hearing Xuanyuan Shi's words, Ding Shuqi nodded seriously. "I see. Don't worry. I definitely won't

offend Junzhu. But I can see that Junzhu really likes that inferior concubine of Yvzhen."

Hearing what Ding Shuqi said, Xuanyuan Shi frowned, "you mean Junzhu likes the girl named

Shaoyao?"

"That's right. I also heard from Yvzhe. He said that he didn't expect that Shaoyao would also like

Junzhu."

Although Xuanyuan Yvzhe was angry with her for sleeping with Xuanyuan Shi. He still showed great

respect to her, especially with the help of Shaoyao, their mother-son relationship had eased a lot.

"Have you investigated the background of this Shaoyao?" Xuanyuan Shi stared at Ding Shuqi and

asked with a serious face.

"As Yvzhe said, Shaoyao sold herself to the Yihong Brothel when she was young. She is the top

prostitute of theYihong Brothel and she has no powerful background. Everyone in the Capital City

knows about her." Looking at Xuanyuan Shi, Ding Shuqi said with a smile, "Shi, are you suspecting

Shaoyao?"

Xuanyuan Shi didn't suspect his daughter-in-law, especially the girl Xuanyuan Yvzhe liked. He had

seen Xuanyuan Yvzhe behave like a dissolute and unruly young man, but he didn't expect him to

become such a faithful person now. This was naturally a pleasant place for him.

"Of course not." Xuanyuan Shi looked at Ding Shuqi and said with a smile, "but anyway, you have to

deal with the empress' matter. I'm afraid that the empress will deal with you then."

When Ding Shuqi looked at Xuanyuan Shi, she shook her head and said, "I've been standing aside for

so many years, and I believe that his majesty will stop her if the empress wants to deal with me. What's

more, you said that she didn't have any actual evidence to prove our relationship, right?"

"I know, but I'm still very worried." Xuanyuan Shi said as he took Ding Shuqi into his arms. "Qiqi, it's all

my fault."

After hearing Xuanyuan Shi's words, Ding Shuqi shook her head and said, ''don't say that. After all, the

right and wrong between us can not be explained in a few words."

Xuanyuan Shi always had sex with Ding Shuqi every time he came. But this time, he didn't act as

usual. Instead, after he talked everything with Ding Shuqi, then he directly left the secret room. Ding

Shuqi also understood the sorrow deep in Xuanyuan Shi's heart. After all, it was those days when they

were unable to go back.

***

The empress was clear about the relationship between Ding Shuqi and the Ninth King, but she didn't

have any evidence in hand.

Though Emperor Hongjia was suspicious, he still needed evidence to prove such things.

Emperor Hongjia only believed in Qilian Yvran. Now Xuanyuan Yvzhen also wanted to seize the throne,

so Emperor Hongjia would not believe what the empress said.

"Do you think Guifei will help me?" The empress frowned at the maid beside her, "I have a feeling that

the Ninth King will not help me."

"Since you know the matter between Guifei and him, I think you will surely help you." The maid looked

at the empress and answered seriously.

"Unfortunately, I'm not asking for Guifei's help, but the Ninth King behind her." The empress had no

choice but to speak resignedly, with one hand on the tea table, "I haven't seen through the Ninth King

for so many years, after all, I have seen his strength before."

Looking at the expression on the empress's face, the maid could only remain silent. She found that

since the empress had met Junzhu, she had been so careful with every step she took. Although she

had been very careful to help the Crown Prince find support, it seemed that what she had done was

useless.

What's more, according to the personality of Junzhu, it is impossible for her to allow the empress and

the crown prince to mess around. As for what they want to do with them, I don't know.

The empress stayed up all night thinking about this. She wasn't sure whether Guifei would help her or

not, but she felt that all this was not as simple as it seemed. If she hadn't married into the imperial

palace at that time, she wouldn't end up like this.

The empress came to the the Zhongcui Palace with the maid after having breakfast. What she only

wanted was an answer from Ding Shuqi. Because this answer was so important to her.

When getting the notice, Ding Shuqi was eating. She did not expect that the empress would come back

so soon, especially under such a circumstance. Thinking of what Xuanyuan Shi had said last night, Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Ding Shuqi began to contest in her heart.

"Empress, greetings!" Ding Shuqi bowed to the empress and asked, "what are you doing here?"

The empress looked at the expression on Ding Shuqi's face and said with a smile, "I just made some

delicious snacks and want to share with you." Then the empress asked the maid next to her to take out

the food container, which contained exquisite dessert.

Looking at the expression on the Empress' face, Ding Shuqi knew she would not leave if she could not

get the answer. In resignation, she could only invite the empress into the Zhongcui Palace, and then

dismissed all the servants. Only four people were there, including Ding Shuqi's personal maid and the

empress's personal maid.

"You must be here today to ask for the answer." Ding Shuqi looked at the empress and replied bluntly,

"but to be honest, we can do nothing to help you."

The empress listened carefully and clenched her fists. She looked at Ding Shuqi and said in a cold

voice: "Guifei, aren't you afraid that I tell his majesty what you have done? If his majesty knows that... "

Hearing the empress's words, Ding Shuqi thought of what Xuanyuan Shi had said last night. She

smiled and said, "if you really have evidence, tell his majesty about this. II do not care."
