The Fourth Lady novel Chapter 133

Everyone all has a bottom line they can tolerate, even Hongjia Emperor isn't an exception. He suddenly recalled something Qilian Yuran said many years ago.

"Ah Hong*, there will be a day when Feng Qin might try to kill Ning'er. I hope that when that time comes, you can help me eliminate her without hesitation."

(*T/N: The Emperor's name is Xuanyuan Hong, this is an endearing way to call him.)

Hongjia Emperor thought of how he'll be able to see Qilian Yuran, who he hasn't seen in five years, again tonight, his fist immediately tightened. Perhaps he shouldn't have married in that kind of woman that year.

That year, if it wasn't for his action, then now, Consort Min should still be alive in this world. And it wouldn't have caused Yukai and Yuning to lose their consort-mother in the end.

Meanwhile, Xian Consort was still resting in Yichun palace. Although she was a bit worried about her shadow guard not returning yet, she still believed he wasn't someone that would act reckless. After all, as her personal bodyguard, he's always treated her like a goddess.

"Your Highness, trouble! Commander Lin Yan has charged in with the Imperial Lin soldiers." A servant girl frantically came and reported to Xian Consort.

Xian Consort didn't seem to be concerned and just plainly spoke, "What has the Imperial Lin army come for?"

"This subordinate, Lin Yan, greets your Highness Xian Consort. This subordinate has received orders to bring your Highness to the Seventh Princess's palace." Lin Yan replied to Xian Consort, neither servile nor overbearing.

The Imperial Lin army belonged only to Hongjia Emperor. At the bottom of it, they only act on Hongjia Emperor's orders.

"Lin Yan, you're just merely a commander, you actually dare to threaten this consort?" Xian Consort sat up and looked to Lin Yan, speaking in a deep tone, "Aren't you afraid I'll report this to his Majesty!?"

Lin Yan coldly humphed. "Your Highness, if you want to tell his Majesty, you can go right now." He glanced to the two people behind him. Those two directly walked up before Xian Consort and detained her. "Your Highness, excuse us. Take her away."

When has Xian Consort ever received this kind of treatment before. When she looked to Lin Yan, she shoved aside the guards next to her. "Lin Yan, wait until I met his Majesty. I will definitely have him sentence you to death."

Lin Yan just coldly swept a glance at Xian Consort. Then he walked past her, minding his own business.

Seeing Lin Yan ignoring her, Xian Consort could only follow the Imperial Lin army to the Seventh Princess's palace. And what she didn't expect was that when she arrived, Xuanyuan Yuxiu was also there. Her two cheeks where swollen like a pig's, with one look, you could tell she was punished.

"Xiu'er, what happened?" Xian Consort flung aside the two guards and immediately ran over next to Xuanyuan Yuxiu. She hugged Xuanyuan Yuxiu at once and loudly berated, "You lowly slaves, how dare you bully my Xiu'er like this."

"It's this Emperor's idea." Hongjia Emperor walked out from inside and coldly gazed to Xian Consort. "Feng Qin, you sure have guts, to actually dare conspire against this Emperor's children."

Xian Consort didn't understand Hongjia Emperor's words. She pointed to Hongjia Emperor and spoke in discontent, "Your Majesty, how can you wrongly accuse this consort like this!?"

"Wrongly accuse?" Hongjia Emperor glanced at the two people behind him. The two of them directly threw the man in black's corpse before Xian Consort. "Don't tell this Emperor you don't recognize this person?"

Xian Consort looked to the man lying before her and couldn't help widening her eyes. This person was precisely her shadow guard. She had only let this man go help her investigate Su Qingyan, she didn't expect that he was already dead.

"Your Majesty, this is indeed this consort's bodyguard." Xian Consort looked to Hongjia Emperor and earnestly spoke, "But I don't know why he would appear here."
