The Fourth Lady novel Chapter 349

Hearing the sudden cold tone of the empress, Qingyan said indifferently, "of course I'm the daughter of Marquis Dingguo, Suyun. Do you think I'm someone else?"

Hearing this, the empress realized that she was out of line. She looked at Qingyan and said apologetically, "I must have frightened you."

She didn't know why she behaved so abnormally just now, as if the young girl in front of her was really Qilian Qingyan, but the real Qilian Qingyan had died in the fire.

In the past five years, Qilian Yvran hadn't seen Emperor Hongjia because of it.

"Junzhu, where did you get the those confidential information of the ministers?" The empress asked calmly. "I hope you can give me an honest answer."

"It must be the original reason why you summoned me." Qingyan looked at the empress and said calmly, "it doesn't matter where I got from. What matters is that I won't harm the Crown Prince."

Hearing what Qingyan said, the empress didn't know how to answer her question. She knew that Qingyan wouldn't harm the Crown Prince, because the person that Crown Prince helped was not the Crown Prince, but Xuanyuan Yvzhen.

"Then why did you do your best to help the Crown Prince?" The empress said calmly. But Qingyan could feel the empress's threatening tone.

"You know it, Lady." Looking at the eyes of the empress, Qingyan smiled, "I'm not helping the Crown Prince, but to help my fourth brother. The reason is very simple, because he is on the side of the Crown Prince."

Listening to Qingyan's words, the empress didn't expect that Qingyan would give such a direct answer.

The empress did not expect that she could hear such words from such a young girl.

"What if I kill you now?" The empress looked at Qingyan and said coldly, "killing you now is as easy as trampling an ant."

"You won't kill me." Qingyan answered calmly.

Seeing the determined look of Qingyan, the empress pretended to be angry. "How do you know I won't kill you?"

"Lady, if you kill me, do you think the Crown Prince will live till tomorrow? Or do you think you can secure your status as the empress? "

Unbelievable expression appeared on the empress' face as she listened to Qingyan's words. She smiled and said, "how do you know that I can't live till tomorrow? I'm not afraid of anything in the world. If you, a mere Junzhu, can threaten me, how can I survive in the harem?"

"You and I are both fully aware of this matter." Looking at the empress's angry face, Qingyan continued, "the empress, if you don't want to let others know, you should not do it in the first place."

The empress was surprised to hear this. She had never worried about anything since she became the empress. But now she felt so guilty in front of Qingyan, as if Qingyan had really grasped some of her secrets.

"Su Qingyan, I'd like to see what secret you know about me." The empress walked to Qingyan and said in a low voice, "I'm willing to do anything for the Crown Prince."
