The Fourth Lady novel Chapter 144

Hongjia Emperor looked to the kneeling Xiuran in the palace hall. In a solemn voice, he asked, "Just who sent you to come slander General Su?"

Xiuran looked to Hongjia Emperor and coldly laughed, "I just can't stand seeing Su Yun's conduct, so I decided to kill him, no one sent me to kill him."

"Be that as it may, but General Su getting ambushed in the Forest of Buried Souls should have been arranged by you too, right?" Xuanyuan Yuzhen walked up to Xiuran's side and immediately clutched his lower jaw. "Don't you think this kind of excuse is too laughable?"

"So the Fourth Prince doesn't believe my words?" Xiuran looked to Xuanyuan Yuzhen with an indifferent smile on his face. "I just don't like Su Yun's high and mighty appearance."

"This isn't your scheme, right?" Xuanyuan Yuzhen looked to Xiuran and still spoke calmly, "I've heard you have connections with the Jing Marquis manor."

When Xiuran heard Xuanyuan Yuzhen's words, his eyes widened at once. Although Murong Jingxuan promised him he wouldn't tell his relationship with the Jing Marquis manor to Hongjia Emperor, this didn't mean Xuanyuan Yuzhen wouldn't.

Xuanyuan Yuzhen looked to Xiuran's appearance and curved the corner of his lips, "How about it? You should be the Jing Marquis's secret bastard child, right?"

When Hongjia Emperor heard these words, he casted his gaze towards the Jing Marquis. Jing Marquis immediately knelt down. He clenched his hands and thought for a moment, before deciding that only abandoning Xiuran at this time was the most correct choice.

"Your Majesty, this humble subject doesn't have this kind of son. As for my secret bastard child, such idea is complete nonsense." Jing Marquis didn't look to see Xiuran's expression.

Right now, he shouldn't look at Xiuran's expression, and he also knew that at this moment he can't look. Truthfully speaking, Ning Xiuran wasn't his secret illegitimate child, but was his eldest legitimate son he had with his original main wife.

At that time, he was saved by his original first wife in Nanchen. Afterwards, they lived in Nanchen for a period of time. But afterwards, who knew that they would be discovered by the previous Emperor of Nanchen, and thus assassins were sent to kill them. Subsequently, they could only abandon Xiuran, this legitimate eldest son. And his original main wife went back with him to Donghe.

But he never would have thought that his original main wife never had another child afterwards. And in the end, she also died from depression. Because of such, he eventually raised his current wife to the main wife position. But he'd never forgotten that woman's sweet smile.

Xuanyuan Yuzhen had already guessed that Jing Marquis wouldn't admit that Xiuran is his son. However, this bit wasn't important, what's important is that Xiuran, no matter what, won't be returning alive today.

"Imperial father, looks like there's some mistakes in this son's information." Xuanyuan Yuzhen turned his head to look at Hongjia Emperor and spoke without the slightest sincerity, "However, since he's not Jing Marquis's son, then let this son and Jingxuan handle everything. What do you think?"

Hongjia Emperor looked to Xuanyuan Yuzhen before him, and seeing he was fully angry, Hongjia Emperor just knew that this matter had already touched upon his bottom line, especially under this kind of circumstance.

"Xiuran, since that's the case, I'll let you have a taste of my abilities." Xuanyuan Yuzhen looked to Xiuran and a violent smile overflowed from his lips.

"Fourth Prince, my death is insignificant, and I also have no regrets." Xiuran looked to Xuanyuan Yuzhen still with a face full of smiles, "I just want to let Fourth Prince know, Su Yun is definitely not some good person, and that good daughter of his, isn't some good person either.

Xuanyuan Yuzhen looked to Xiuran and gave him a hand chop. Seeing Xiuran faint, Xuanyuan Yuzhen coldly spoke to Murong Jingxuan next to him, "Jingxuan, this man, I'll hand over to you."

With that said, Murong Jingxuan took Xiuran away.

Su Yun watched Xiuran get taken away and immediately knelt down, "Your Majesty, this humble subject has not done anything that would offend the heavens."
