The Fourth Lady novel Chapter 135

Jing Marquis looked to Xiuran's solemn appearance and could only accept the will from his hand. To say it's a will wasn't the least bit excessive. He knew that this time, Xiuran won't be able to come back. Furthermore, that incident that time in the Forest of Buried Souls still left him with lingering fears.

He once sent people to investigate those death soldier's corpses, but the death soldier's corpses were already all torn to pieces. And those people's deaths, from the looks of it, simply didn't appear to be man-caused. It appeared more like a type of cruel warning, warning that anyone who enters the Forest of Buried Souls will all suffer a terrible death.

His eldest legitimate son said it could be the works of spirits. But in this vast world, how could there really be supernatural existences? Moreover, something this bizarre just happen to have occured on the same day Su Yun was returning to the capital.

The people they dispatched that day were more or less all elites, but they all died in the forest without reason or cause, and no one knows how they died. Furthermore, no one knows just who this was done by either.

At that time, he finally realized that perhaps Su Qingyan isn't as simple as they'd previously imagined. It was just as Ning Siyao said, ever since Su Qingyan woken from almost drowning, she seemed to have become another person. And this Su Qingyan was a malevolent spirit from hell.

She can effortlessly send people to hell using the most ruthless and most cruel methods.

Su Qingyuan's matter, Ning Siyao's matter, and Xiuran's matter, don't they all prove this point?

"Father, after I die, there will still be other's to take care of you, just treat it as you've never had this son." Xiuran looked to Jing Marquis with a calm expression, "As for not being able to help elder sister get rid of Su Qingyan, today's farewell will settle it."

"Xiuran, Su Qingyan's matter perhaps isn't like how we see it on the surface." Jing Marquis grabbed Xiuran's hand, "Xiuran, believe me, that Su fourth miss really isn't as simple as you think."

Xiuran looked to Jing Marquis and reluctantly shook his head, "Actually, she has already suspected me. Towards this bit, I'm not the least bit surprised." He forced a bitter smile on his lips, "She's more impressive than I'd imagined. But I don't believe that this kind of girl can cover the skies with one hand. And today will be her death anniversary."

"Xiuran, if by chance you don't succeed tonight, then you'll die!" Jing Marquis replied with a grave expression, "If you die, everything will be gone."

Xiuran still was unwilling to change his original plan. He decided to go as planned. This was what he needed to do the most. Everything needed to be bore by him.

The news of Xuanyuan Yuxiu getting punished and Xian Consort being disposed of very quickly spread through the entire Imperial Palace. At the same time, Xuanyuan Yufan was currently sitting in Yi Consort's Zhaoyang Palace. Yi Consort was eating grapes as she listened to a servant girl talk about this matter.

"Consort-mother, this matter, I feel there's something fishy about this matter." Xuanyuan Yufan looked to Yi Consort and frowned. "Do you really think that Xian Consort committed the offense?"

Yi Consort looked to him and patted his head, "Think about it, Xian Consort's position, who did it originally belong to?"

Xuanyuan Yufan stroked his chin with a serious expression, "Are you saying, this is sixth and fourth brother's doing? But even so, Xian Consort was also someone who was in the consort position for ten years. If she didn't offend imperial father, imperial father couldn't have sent her to the cold palace in a fit of anger."

"Speak, just what happened?" Yi Consort looked to the servant girl to the side and asked with a smile.

"This servant heard that the shadow guard at Xian Consort's side attempted to assassinate the Seventh Princess, but was blocked by General Su's daughter. In fit of anger, his Majesty sent Xian Consort to the cold palace." The servant girl respectfully replied as she looked to the two of them.
