The Fourth Lady

Chapter 378 Guifei And Empress (Ⅱ)

Apparently, the empress didn't expect that Guifei would say such things. But speaking of evidence, she

really didn't have it. After all, the only witness was already dead. If the empress asked her for evidence,

what evidence could she present?

What's more, she was facing the Ninth King behind Ding Shuqi.

The empress pretended to be calm and asked, "is that your idea, or Ninth King? Sister, you should

know that helping us does no harm to you." She began to analyze the pros and cons with Ding Shuqi.

"After the Crown Prince ascends the throne, you can still have connection with the Ninth King. I can

pretend not to know this matter, and you have never done such a thing."

Guifei looked at the empress calmly. She could not say that it was caused by Xuanyuan Yvzhen, so he

was unable to help the Crown Prince. After all, compared with the empress, Xuanyuan Yvzhen was the

most difficult person to deal with.

"To tell you the truth, you should be very clear why we can't help the Crown Prince." Looking at the

empress, Guifei said with a smile, "after all, there are certain things that cannot be controlled by us."

The empress stared at her, and suddenly widened her eyes. She, and his condition should not be able

to help the crown prince. At the thought of this, the empress frowned.

"You mean Fourth Prince has talked with the Ninth King?" The empress looked at her and said Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

tentatively, "there are only the two of us here. You can tell me."

Guifei remembered what Xuanyuan Shi said yesterday night that Xuanyuan Shi was filled with spies,

which meant that she might be under surveillance now.

She was well aware she could not say the truth now.

"Sister, I'm sorry but I can't tell you."

Hearing this, the empress looked at her and said coldly, "sister, do you take this as a cover and cheat

me? I don't have any evidence to prove your relationship with the Ninth King, but if I play tricks, do you

believe that you can still be sent to the Cold Palace? "

Hearing the empress's threatening words, Guifei stood up immediately and looked at the empress. She

was tall and had more confidence in herself than the empress, "my dear sister, you can tell his majesty

this matter. I have my own means to climb to my position. I'm not afraid of you, nor Xv Shiwan. "If you

want to pick on me, I will show no mercy to you. "

Hearing her words, the empress smiled. "Ding Shuqi, remember, if the Crown Prince succeed to the

throne, I will make you die without a burial place."

''Huh!'' Ding Shuqi sneered.

''I will wait for the day when the Crown Prince is in power." Looking at the empress's back as she left,

she continued, "I wonder if he has the ability to take the throne..." After a pause, she continued, "after

all, the Fourth Prince is also preparing to take the throne. I think you'd better know clearly which is

more important in his majesty's heart."

The empress stumbled at Guifei's words. Luckily, the maid beside her held her.

"Don't be too proud. His majesty will find out one day." The empress said and left the Zhongcui Palace

with her head held high.

Looking at the empress's back, the maid next to Guifei said with a smile, "Master, you were so cool just

now. I have never seen a lady like you."

Guifei shook her head. "No, I'm not. I have to do it. After all, it's not up to us to help the Crown Prince.

Especially when the Fourth Prince is about to take the throne."

The maid nodded her head and replied, "it's obvious that his majesty favors the Fourth Prince. Since

the Fourth Prince once helped the Crown Prince and quitted now, those people who used to follow the

Crown Prince might turn to the Fourth Prince.

Guifei laughed and said, "you know too much. Don't say these things openly. Although I can protect

you here, it doesn't mean I can protect you after you leave here. Looking at what happened just now, I

think the empress is powerless now, even if she wants to deal with me, she will start it from you. "

"Don't worry, Lady. Even if die, I would never tell anyone about you and the Ninth King." The maid

looked at Guifei with respect, and then something seemed to occur to her. "Lady, why don't we stand

on the side of the imperial concubine? It seems that the empress and the imperial concubine used to

get along well, but since the empress has offended Junzhu, I've heard that even his majesty doesn't

the empress' words now. If we want to protect ourselves in the harem, we must choose the right side. "

Guifei fell into deep thought after hearing the maid's words. She smiled and said, "I'll think about it.

After all, it's not only my business alone. Besides, I've heard that the imperial concubine easy to get

along with. In the harem, besides the empress and the imperial concubine, the most powerful one

should be Concubine Yi, but I am not willing to be on her side. It seems that right now the imperial

concubine is the best choice for us now. "

The maid nodded her head while looking at Guifei, "if we choose to help the imperial concubine, I think

she will definitely protect you. Especially at this moment, since the Fourth Prince know the affair

between you and the Ninth King, she must know it as well. Since she didn't tell his majesty, it means

that she wants to give you a chance. And if you choose her, the truth will be buried deeply in the earth

for the rest of the life! "

After listening to the maid's analysis of the pros and cons, Guifei suddenly understood.

That's right. If Xuanyuan Yvzhen knows this, the imperial concubine must also have known it. And

there was only one reason why the imperial concubine did not tell the emperor.

That was the chance Qilian Yvran had given her a chance to make a choice. This opportunity would

allow no one to ever know the secret between her and Xuanyuan Shi.
