The Fourth Lady novel Chapter 109

How could Xuanyuan Yuzhen not understand the implied meaning behind Murong Jingxuan's words. But even so, what of it? If he was the one that had met her first, would Su Qingyan really like him?

Judging by her personality, that simply wasn't possible. Moreover, he wasn't able to give her 'eternal devotion' either."

He'd always thought that something like love, could only be used as a bargaining chip. Perhaps when needed, he could even marry a woman he didn't love, but this woman must have value.

Just like how Xuanyuan Yufan said he wanted to marry Su Qingyan this morning in the Imperial Court, because Su Qingyan was worth using.

If he wasn't a prince, then perhaps this could be treated differently, but he probably couldn't wait until then.

After all, she was that talented of a person.

In the end, he didn't know what he was thinking. At first, he'd only thought she was an interesting girl. Afterwards, under Murong Jingxuan's influence and interacting with her, he felt that she was a deep and unpredictable person.

She could see his ambitions, and could also his aspirations.

He certainly did want to become the person sitting on the throne, but that was because he wasn't confident he could give this country to others.

Even if it was the Crown Prince, who he trusted the most.

The Crown Prince has been weak and sickly since youth, if it wasn't for Hongjia Emperor adhering to the rules, this position couldn't have possibly fallen onto Xuanyuan Yuze's head.

When he thought of this, he raised his head to look to Murong Jingxuan, "Jingxuan, why don't you also ask for an edict asking for that girl as a wife."

"Do you think I don't want to." Murong Jingxuan turned around to look at Xuanyuan Yuzhen with a serious look, "I talked about this with her before, but Yan'er said she temporarily doesn't want to marry. I don't want to force her. But if there really is the need one day, then I would also ask for an edict." Murong Jingxuan tightly clenched his fist.

Regarding the matter with the edict, Murong Jingxuan didn't want to hide it from Qingyan. But if Qingyan didn't want to right now, he wouldn't make it difficult for her. After all, she was someone with her own ideas, he didn't want to miss out on such a good girl because of this.

"You're right." Xuanyuan Yuzhen curled his lips.

"That's right, that girl said to treat eliminating the Jingguo Marquis manor as a gift to you." Murong Jingxuan look to Xuanyuan Yuzhen and calmly said. "If it wasn't for the Crown Prince's body, not matter what, it wouldn't be him as the Crown Prince."

When Xuanyuan Yuzhen heard these words, he helplessly sounded his voice, "Jingxuan."

"Whatever." Murong Jingxuan waved his hand at him, "I know you have your own thoughts, else the Imperial Consort wouldn't be that favored."

Xuanyuan Yuzhen looked to Murong Jingxuan, shaking his head. Everything about Murong Jingxuan was good and trustworthy, just his wanton and unrestrained manner, really made people a bit unable to accept.

After Xuanyuan Yufan left the Imperial Court, he headed to Zhaoyang Palace, the palace his imperial mother lived in. Just as he walked in to the palace, he saw Yi Consort sitting in a recliner not far away, leisurely reading a book. That appearance, no matter who saw, would feel pleasing to the eyes.

"My son, you've come." Yi Consort looked to the entering Xuanyuan Yufan with a smile, "Why do you look so unhappy today?"

Hearing Yi Consort's words, Xuanyuan Yufan stroked his chin, "Has imperial mother heard of Su Yun's daughter?"
