Chapter 79 Counterattack III
When Chonglou was taking Qingyan''s pulse, he found that the poison in her body seems to have
advanced further. Hestly looked towards Su Jiashi and replied, "Old madam, miss''s body should be
fine for now, but...."
Seeing Chonglou hesitating, Su Jiashi cautiously spoke, "But what? Is it that Yan''er''s body won''t get
better?"
Chonglou shook his head in response, "It''s just that the young miss innately carries poison in her body,
it seems she''s had it since birth."
When Jiang Mengrou heard Chonglou say this, she instinctively took a step back. She had thought that
no one would notice this, but unfortunately she wasn''t able to escape Chonglou''s eyes.
Chonglou took a nce at Jiang Mengrou. How could the seemingly weak and feeble looking Jiang
Mengrou have a grudge against the first madam, Luo Bing? But regardless of such, he seemed to have
discovered an incredible secret today. Once he gets back to the manor, he needs to report this matter
to Murong Jingxuan.
Chonglou prescribed some medicine for Qingyan, also reminding Su Jiashi to carefully take care of
Qingyan.
When Chonglou was leaving, he nced to Jiang Mengrou a second time. However, Jiang Mengrou,
who''d regained her senses, seemed as if everything just now had never happened.
"Mother, how do you think this matter should be handled?" Su Ming turned to Su Jiashi, carefully
asking.
Su Jiashi swung her cane over as she spoke, "Do you really want to drive my Yan''er to death!?"
Seeing Su Jiashi like that, Su Ming could only lower his head in shame, but he still decided he needed
to get to the bottom of this matter. He briefly nce at Ning Siyao, who was still kneeling on the
ground.
Ning Siyao locked into the eyes of karma, only feeling her surroundings trembling.
Everyone who was there to watch a show all respectively dispersed, and only Qingdai remained
watching over the old madam''s yard along with the unconscious Wei mama.
After Chonglou returned to Shizi''s manor, he reported everything that happened to Murong Jingxuan.
Murong Jingxuan listened to Chonglou while stroking his chin, "Fengshuang, go look into that Jiang
Mengrou''s background, preferably herplete background. See if there are any connections with
Yundian."
"Understood."
"Chonglou, what you mean to say is that the poison in Yan''er''s body is getting more serious?" Murong
Jingxuan yed with the fragrant pouch Qingyan gave him that day, "Is there still no reply yet?"
Chonglou shook his head in response, "Liushang* has already arrived at the capital yesterday."
(*TN: I previously mistaken Liu as his surname, but ''Liushang'' is meant to be one name so will be
stylized as such from here on out.)
Murong Jingxuan nodded at Chonglou''s words, "Alright, I understand. Liushang missed out on a great
show previously, but now Su Yun is about to return too. Perhaps it''s about time for that girl to reap the
rewards."
"Your Highness, at this time, should we help out the Shizi Consort?"
Murong Jingxuan waved his hand at Chonglou, "No need, that girl has her own ideas. Once we help
out, we might even ruin her ns."
"I''ve already looked into it, that Su Qingming should be arriving at the capital in the next few days."
Murong Jingxuan listened as he contemted while stroking his chin, "This is perfect, the Fourth
Prince has been waiting to take on Su Qingming this whole time."
"But the Fourth Prince is standing on the Crown Prince''s side after all, plus the Emperor seems to
particrly love the Crown Prince."
Murong Jingxuan thought of what Xuanyuan Yuzhen once said, "That''s a given. After all, in Donghe,
the throne is passed to the eldest legitimate son!"
Yet perhaps, only the current Emperor can answer just what the reality of it is like.
"Master, I just heard a news." Fengluo suddenly appeared before Murong Jingxuan.
Murong Jingxuan frowned at the sudden appearance of Fengluo, "What news, regarding who?"
Fengluo ryed the news he heard to Murong Jingxuan. The thing that shocked him the most was that
the four guardians of the Thousand Beast Pavilion had actually all came to Diqiu.
Was it to just confirm whether or not Qingyan was their Pavilion Master?
"Has it been verified?" Murong Jingxuan furrowed his brows, a stern look brimmed in his eyes.
Of the four guardians, aside from Liushang, the other three has always remained at the Thousand
Beast Pavilion. Now that the four guardians have appeared together in Donghe, he doesn''t think it''s a
good thing.
Especially since these people were here for Qingyan.
"It''s been confirmed. Master, should we inform the Shizi Consort?" Fengluo carefully asked, seeing the
vicious look in Murong Jingxuan''s eyes.
Even though he didn''t want any incidences to arise at this time, this kind of situation to them really
wasn''t all that bad. At the very least, it could help out their Shizi Consort.
Murong Jingxuan held his chin analyzing the situation, "I''m afraid the four guardians have most likely
Fengluo recalled back to the [Thousand Beasts and Phoenix] tune and furrowed his brows, "Was it
because the Shizi Consort knows how to y the [Thousand Beasts and Phoenix], that they''ve
speciallye to confirm?"
"If that''s really the case, then maybe there''s no need for concern." Murong Jingxuan began tapping the
table with his fingers. "I''m just worried that they might have other ulterior motives."
Just when Fengluo wanted to continue, Murong Jingxuan waved his hand at time, "This matter, I''ll go
tell Yan''er myself and see what she intends to do first."
"Understood." With that said, Fengluo disappeared without a trace.
Chonglou looked to Murong Jingxuan''s contemting appearance and turned to withdraw as well.
After all, right now, it wasn''t appropriate for any of them to disturb him.
Meanwhile, Qingyan also learned from the white tiger that the Thousand Beast Pavilion''s four
guardians have appeared in Donghe. Qingyan stroked her chin as she eyed the white tiger before her,
ruffling its fur while she was at it.
They''ve appeared at a good time, if they can acknowledge her as the Thousand Beast Pavilion''s
Pavilion Master, then there''s nothing better than that.
But how should she prove that she can be the Pavilion Master?
"Master, regarding the matter of the four guardians appearing in Donghe, Shizi seems to already know
as well." The white tiger rubbed against Qingyan''s arm in a docile manner.
She patted the white tiger, "Those spies he has by his side aren''t inferior to our Thousand Beast
Pavilion, so naturally he would know."
Qingyan looked to the ''Art of War'' in her hand, yet for some reason not a single word stuck in her mind.
If previously, when Liushang returned to the Thousand Beast Pavilion headquarters, he mentioned he
wanted to use the Seven Colored Lingyun Snake, then for the four of them to all appear here now, can
only mean that the four of them want to confirm one thing.
That is whether or not she is Qilian Qingyan.
But they knew very well in their hearts that Qilian Qingyan had already died five years ago.
And it was impossible for a person toe back from the dead.
"Master, you don''t need to think too much of it." The white tiger yfully nuzzled against her arm again.
Yaoyao, who was next to her, also jumped into her arms.
Qingyan looked to Yaoyao in her arms and smiled, "I''m not really thinking too much about it. It''s just, it

would be great, if I can find out about matters regarding the Qilian family from them. And also whether
or not Ning''er and Jing''er are well."
If there''s one thing that Qingyan really hasn''t let go of, then it was probably her two children and the
entire Qilian family. She really worried very much. Just one word from Weisheng Junyan, and he can
destroy the entire Qilian family, her father, and her younger brother.
When she thought of this, she tightly clenched her fist.
This hatred as deep as the bloody sea, she will definitely pay back bit by bit.
