The Fourth Lady novel Chapter 375

It was already late night when Xuanyuan Shi returned. It was not because that Yaochi did not escort him correctly, but that Yaochi had encountered some trouble on the way, and these people were obviously coming for Yaochi. The first thought came to Yaochi was that these people were the subordiantes of Xuanyuan Shi. And it turned out that he was not wrong, because just when he dealt with these people in black, Xuanyuan Shi was already nowhere to be found.

However, Yaochi knew that Xuanyuan Shi had returned to the mansion, and he had also completed his mission. Moreover, Qingyan wasn't very concerned about what had happened at that time, not to mention that their only goal was not to stop Xuanyuan Shi from helping the Xuanyuan Shi. Thus, their goal was very successful for now.

Xuanyuan Shi was cautiously afraid of Xuanyuan Yvzhen, or the strength behind Murong Jingxuan. However, he would definitely not think that all the things were under the control of Su Qingyan. Qingyan was the real key character behind it.

Xuanyuan Shi didn't know what mood he was when he walked into the mansion. The words of Xuanyuan Yvzhen and Murong Jingxuan still kept resounding in his ears. In fact, he had originally planned to help the Crown Prince. Although the Crown Prince and the Third Prince didn't get along well, anyhow, Emperor Hongjia was his brother. If he helped the Crown Prince win the throne, he thought at least Emperor Hongjia would be happy.

After all, Emperor Hongjia was not the eldest son of the family, but he managed to become the emperor after he killed his eldest brother. Outsiders did not know it, but Xuanyuan Shi knew clearly about it.

In order to take the throne, Xuanyuan Hong had used all kinds of methods, and he had even thought of murdering the Crown Prince. However, Emperor Hongjia certainly hadn't thought that his son would do it the same way now.

The Crown Prince was Emperor Hongjia's eldest son, but Xuanyuan Shi was clear in his mind that the best candidate for the throne was Xuanyuan Yvzhen. Because he was the prince who was qualified for the throne.

The Crown Prince, Second Prince and the other princes were indeed slightly inferior Xuanyuan Yvzhen.

Therefore, Xuanyuan Shi was clear in his mind that Emperor Hongjia preferred Xuanyuan Yvzhen to take the throne.

Xuanyuan Yvzhen onced helped the Crown Prince because he did not want the throne. Now that Xuanyuan Yvzhen was ready to take the throne, the Crown Prince would be the first one him to deal with. However, according Xuanyuan Yvzhen's character, naturally, he would put this matter at last.

And now the most important thing for him was decide whether to help the empress or not.

The empress knew that he had an affair with Shuqi, but he believed that the empress wouldn't have any solid evidence to prove it. Therefore, there was no need to worry about it. However, he hadn't known the real strength behind Murong Jingxuan, so according to the character of Murong Jingxuan and Xuanyuan Yvzhen, Emperor Hongjia would probably believe in them.

As for Su Qingyan, Xuanyuan Shi thought that until now, he still hadn't figured out where this girl's strength was.

If she was just an ordinary girl, then she was a little bit more brutal than those girls, and she had the strength could only be exuded by aggressive men.

She possessed a very recognized mind and was very scheming.
