The Fourth Lady novel Chapter 130

Xuanyuan Yuzhen finally understood now why Murong Jingxuan would fall in love with this girl at that time. You can't help but say that this girl can be even more meticulous than them sometimes. Moreover, she seems to understand how to control the overall situation.

Even if this situation is more harm than good to her, she can still guarantee that the general situation is within her control in the end.

This perhaps is the reason why Qingyan can successfully turn any peril into safety.

"Why do we need to send people to protect great-aunt?" Xuanyuan Yuzhen asked with a perplexed face. There shouldn't be anyone that will attack her, so he only sent people to protect Hongjia Emperor and Imperial Noble Consort.

"Fourth Prince, you probably think that no one will attack Elder Princess, so you didn't send anyone to protect her, right?" Qingyan looked to Xuanyuan Yuzhen and casually spoke.

Seeing Qingyan's gaze directed at him, Xuanyuan Yuzhen felt a bit guilty. Sometimes, he felt that Qingyan isn't just a young girl who has yet to reach 15. She seems to carry a very dignified aura on her, like someone of a high status. Furthermore, she seems to also carry a killing resolution and courage that only someone with a high status would have.

If it were to be said that this is because she's a descendant of a martial lineage that she has this kind of feeling, he wouldn't believe it in the least.

"Exactly."

"If Xiuran were to sneak attack the Emperor alone himself, then he should only target the Emperor. But if Xiuran were to bring in the death soldiers, then the death soldiers who are usually loyal to their master, would definitely openly kill anyone when the time comes. Even if the end result is death, they would still relentlessly try to kill everyone." Qingyan still spoke in a nonchalant tone, "That's why you must send someone to protect the Elder Princess."

Chunyuan Elder Princess was also her empress-mother (in-law).

"Don't worry, hearing you say this now, I naturally will dispatch people to protect great-aunt." Xuanyuan Yuzhen looked to Qingyan, and seeing that she wasn't continuing, he spoke, "Do you still need to rest here for a while?"

Qingyan shook her head at them, "I want to go out and walk for a bit. I can't just lay here the whole time."

Murong Jingxuan saw that her complexion was slowly beginning to become rosy, and thus felt relieved. Qingyan's body he was more than clear about, she simply wasn't suited to do those things, yet she just has to do everything herself.

"Alright, then Jingxuan, you accompany Qingyan. I'll go arrange the related matters." Xuanyuan Yuzhen glanced at Murong Jingxuan, before turning to leave.

Seeing Xuanyuan Yuzhen turning to leave, Murong Jingxuan looked to Qingyan and couldn't hold back tapping her nose. "Yan'er, I discovered that Fourth Prince seems to have fallen for you."

Qingyan looked to Murong Jingxuan's jealous appearance and nodded while smiling, "Right, how about I just follow him instead, being his princess consort is pretty good. In any case, he's more reliable than you, who likes to loiter around the red light distract."

Murong Jingxuan tightly confined Qingyan in his embrace at once, "I won't allow it. You're mine. Even if it's the Fourth Prince, I won't allow." His tone was extremely forceful, like as if he's determined that Qingyan can only have him alone in this life.

"Jingxuan, since I've already chosen you, my heart won't be moved by another." Qingyan lifted her head to look at Murong Jingxuan, still smiling brightly, "After I reach marriageable age*, if you're willing, I'll marry you."

(*T/N: At 15 for girls.)

Hearing Qingyan's words, Murong Jingxuan smiled, "Are you telling the truth? Are you really willing to marry me, you won't back out?"

Qingyan hugged him back, with a relaxed expression, "If you don't mind it, then I'm willing to marry you."

"Alright, then I'll wait a year for you. Wait until after the matters in Donghe are settle, I'll take you as my wife." Murong Jingxuan took down the jade pendant hanging before his chest and handed it to Qingyan, "This was given to me by my consort-mother. She said that if I meet a girl I like, then to give it to her. Now, I'm giving it to you."
