The Fourth Lady

It was not until Qingyan put down her painting brush that Zizhu said in surprise, "Miss, the man in the picture looks just like Yaochi."

Hearing what Zizhu said, Yaochi approached the table and found that the man in the painting was no one else but him. He stood there with his sword, motionless, and his eyes had been fixed on the faintly visible back of a woman in front of him. Yaochi knew that the woman in the painting was Qilian Qingyan.

"This is for you." Qingyan handed the painting to Yaochi and continued, "when the Yanmei and Anying come back, we'll know what Su Qingteng has done in the Luzhou City."

If they find out the truth, they should be back soon." Qingyan said seriously as she heard Yaochi's words.

"I'm hungry, Zizhu. Heat some more desserts on the table," Qingyan smiled at the cold cookie on the table. "Okay, Miss, just s second."

Looking at the receding figure of Zizhu, Qingyan sat down and looked at Yaochi. "If I'm not wrong, this time the one who attacked me first should be Ning Siyao," Qingyan said slowly

"Is it because Su Qingyuan died?" Yaochi stood aside with a sword in his hand and said seriously, "this time, I guess Jingguo Marquis will also join in the game this time."

Looking at Yaochi, Qingyan nodded seriously, "That's it. If nothing goes wrong, Xuanyuan Yvfan mustn't meddle in this time. If Jingguo Marquis and Ning Siyao provoke me first, it will be easier to deal with." "But Marquis Jingguo is a wily man. I think he won't make the same mistake like Xiuranthis time." Yaochi looked at Qingyan said earnestly, "after all, Xiuran has always been a pain in Marquis Jingguo's heart." "That's why Marquis Jingguo will be in a mess this time. After all, not only did he lose Xiuran at this time, he also lost Su Qingyuan. The two deaths of his children were a heavy blow to him." She said with a smile. "So do you mean that Miss will certainly take revenge on you?" Yaochi said as he watched Qingyan caress her chin with a serious look. "but it's impossible for Marquis Jingguo to deal with you in public." Looking at the Yaochi, Qingyan nodded her head and said seriously, "yes, he wouldn't. He would certainly send his own people to kill me, and his people would do it to me in the Imperial Palace."

"Miss. only the imperial concubine is your acquaintance in the Imperial Palace. How could you think of that?" asked Yaochi in confusion.

Looking at Yaochi, Qing Qingyan waved her hand and said, "it's not like that. Mother is will protect me. But what if she will also be targeted?"

"You mean someone will do something to the imperial concubine?"

Hearing the voice, Qingyan raised her head and saw Murong Jingxuan by the window. If Murong Jingxuan was here now, did something happen in the Imperial Palace?

Qingyan looked at Murong Jingxuan and nodded earnestly. "Yes, you're right. But I think nobody knows that mother is good at medical science, so it's impossible for them try to hurt my mother." She looked at Murong Jingxuan by the window and asked, "now you're here. What happened in the Imperial Palace?"

Murong Jingxuan shook his head. "Yes. It's said that Concubine Yi was ill badly and might pass away soon."

"Fine!" With a mysterious smile on her face, Qingyan sighed, "I think she plots well!" How does father think of this matter?"

"You know what kind of person my father is. He is very kind to Concubine Yi, so he didn't visit her in the Zhaoyang Palace. Instead, he just ordered the imperial physician to take good care of her." "Oh, I see. Considering what Xuanyuan Yvfan had done, father must dislike Concubine Yi at this

moment." Qingyan rubbed her chin as she pondered, "someone must be taking this opportunity to retaliate against Concubine Yi. We can watch the drama of the Imperial Palace for free."

"You mean someone wants to get rid of Concubine Yi?" Murong Jingxuan asked with a frown.

Qingyan turned to Murong Jingxuan and nodded with a smile. "Yes. One of Ning Siyao's sister had entered the Imperial Palace. This chess piece might be in use soon. It depends on her luck whether she can make it or not."

"Do you mean that Marquis Jingguo will borrow this woman to deal with Concubine Yi?" Murong Jingxuan thought about her words and felt it highly possible. Women in the harem all tended to be very aggressive.

"Maybe Fengqin is involved too." Qingyan looked at Murong Jingxuan and said with a smile, "as far as I know, Fengqin won't give up this great opportunity for sure, so Marquis Jingguo will certainly take the opportunity to bribe her. Xuanyuan Yvxiu is the only daughter of Fengqin. Guess which son will be chosen by Marquis Jingguo to be the bridegroom?"

Murong Jingxuan looked at Qingyan resignedly and shrugged. "His father is not a fool. I won't let Marquis Jingguo do it."

Looking at Murong Jingxuan, Qingyan nodded seriously. "That's right. So Marquis Jingguo put all his bets on this move. If he succeeds, he will get everything. If he fails, he will lose everything. It's a gamble."

"You mean he will use Fengqin as a weapon against Concubine Yi and the imperial concubine?" "But if that's the case, maybe there's a good opportunity for us." Murong Jingxuan looked at Qingyan said seriously.

Looking at Murong Jingxuan's serious look, Qingyan nodded, "Yes. In that case, Marquis Jingguo will lose his face in front of his father. It will be a good way to remove him from the position."

Murong Jingxuan looked at Qingyan and nodded earnestly. "So, what do you want to do now?"

Qingyan looked at Murong Jingxuan, shaking her head. "Let's wait and see if Marquis Jingguo and Ning Siyao have any backup plan. Besides, help me protect my mother

in the Imperial Palace. I'm not with mother now."

"You don't have to worry about the imperial concubine. My fourth brother will arrange his men to protect her."

"That's great," Qingyan nodded seriously.

After a moment's discussion, Murong Jingxuan left. Watching him leave, Qingyan smiled. Zizhu walked towards her with hot cakes. She looked at the delicious cakes and said with a smile, "I asked you to heat it up, but you recooked it." "The previous cakes has been eaten up by the maids, and Huangcen told me that she had just made a new one, which is called egg yolk cake, so I come here later," replied Zizhu, shaking her head as she looked at Qingyan. Looking at the golden cake in the plate, Qingyan picked up one and slowly tasted it. She had to admit that Huangcen was really good at cooking.0000000
