The Fourth Lady novel Chapter 146

Although Xuanyuan Yuzhen had doubts about Xiuran's death, but because of Su Qingyan, he still dispelled that smudge of misgiving in his heart.

He had never met Qilian Qingyan before, so he didn't notice the similarities between Qilian Qingyan and Su Qingyan either.

Just occasionally when hearing Qilian Yuran mention her, he felt that perhaps in some aspect, Su Qingyan was Qilian Qingyan.

"Yuzhen, if there's nothing else, I'll send Yan'er back first." Murong Jingxuan looked to Qingyan lying on the bed and calmly spoke.

Qingyan sat up and looked to them, helplessly speaking, "I can go back by myself." With that said, Qingyan crawled down from the bed, "Besides, it's not appropriate for you two to appear at the Su manor at this time."

Although it's already been a few days since the Dragon Gate Banquet, Hongjia Emperor knowing about this matter, for the people present, was still nevertheless worrisome. That's why they didn't say anything else.

As for Su Yun, he still maintained attending the imperial court everyday. Su Qingyu and Luo Bing thus was in charge of handling the army barrack outside the city. And Su Qingyan, only after learning that Xiuran was kept in this prison, did she decide to appear here at this time.

Furthermore, she had originally came here by herself, letting Murong Jingxuan send her back was really a bit embarrassing.

"Yan'er, your body?" Murong Jingxuan saw Su Qingyan's determined look and couldn't help frowning.

Qingyan shook her head at him, "I'm fine."

Murong Jingxuan knew that Su Qingyan was some with principles. And this bottom line, she doesn't hope for anyone to touch upon. So after sending Qingyan away, he once again returned to the prison.

Qingyan sat by herself in the horse carriage, thinking about that gaze from the Dragon Gate Banquet. She thought for a long time and finally realized that the gaze probably belonged to Yaochi.

Yaochi's gaze, only when facing Qilian Qingyan, appeared especially gentle. And when regarding others, he's always met them with his cold gaze.

This was also the reason why Qilian Qingyan would fancy Yaochi.

Yaochi was an expert martial artist second only to Fengqing in Jianghu. If she can become the Thousand Beast Pavilion master, then she can think of a way to leave Yaochi, Yanmei, and Anying by her side. As for Liushang, he can just continue to stay in the palace. At least, it would be like leaving a spy in the palace.

Qingyan took out the jade flute and continued to stare at it absent-mindedly. She couldn't remember that dream, but towards Yunhen Priest's words, she still remembered very clearly.

Yunhen Priest once said, only Su Qingyan's body was the best vessel that could store Qilian Qingyan's soul. But what kind of price Yunhen Priest paid, she didn't know.

When she arrived at the General Manor's entrance, Su Qingyan gracefully got down from the horse carriage. She directly walked into the manor and saw Su Qingxue and Su Qingcong currently playing in the courtyard, and Jia Yun*, who was looking after them.

(*T/N: In case you've forgotten this is Deng Yan's new identity and I believe from here on out she'll be referred to by this name.)

"Miss, you're back." Zizhu walked up to Qingyan and untied her cloak for her. Afterwards, Huangcen brought over a cup of warm water.

"En, did anything happen today?" Qingyan accepted the water and took a sip.
