Chapter 138 Dragon Gate Banquet III
Luo Bing really didn''t do much for Qingyan''s upbringing after all. That scene from three years ago
continuously reyed in her mind.
Perhaps the thing she regretted the most in this life was leaving Qingyan all by herself in the capital.
This was her daughter, her most beloved daughter. In the past, she''d always felt that Qingyan wasn''t
intimate enough with them. But now, after getting closer, she felt that this child seemed to have grown a
lot overnight.
And just as Su Yun said, they don''t know what the price for this change was.
For Qingyan, perhaps this was something insignificant, but to them, it was a kind of blow, a kind of
unerasable guilt.
"Do you think this matter today was really done by Yan''er?" Su Yun looked to Luo Bing with a nk
expression, "Yan''er, this child, really has grown."
"Husband, today''s Dragon Gate Banquet, let''s just let nature take its course." Luo Bing said as she
grasped Su Yun''s hand.
Su Yun, seeing the smile on Luo Bing''s face, nodded and smiled in response.
Qingyan naturally observed the interactions of this husband and wife pair. Although she couldn''t clearly
hear what they were saying, she knew it was nothing more than something rted to her.
Qingyan felt that treating Su Yun and Luo Bing as her family wasn''t something bad. After all, Su
Qingyan was their daughter to begin with.
Furthermore, her own mother had died early. She''d never experienced that kind of motherly love
before.
Towards her stepmother, she''d never treated her sincerely before either, but she really did treat Qilian
Qingyi as her sister.
The thing she rejoiced the most was that after her mother died, her father never remarried*. This was
also the reason why Qilian Qingyi remained a concubine born daughter this whole time.
(*T/N: While men can marry concubines in ancient China it''s different from formally marrying a main
wife. Usually concubines don''t even get a wedding ceremony, and their names usually aren''t recorded
into the family''s genealogy either. Concubines can be promoted to the main wife position though.)
But in the end, she wasn''t content with the position of being a concubine born daughter, thus she
dragged her down from the Empress position.
But just what kind of agreement did Weisheng Junyan make with Qilian Qingyi?
"Big sister, it''s your turn."
Su Qingxue looked to Qingyan and softly spoke.
Qingyan slowly turned her head around to look at Su Qingxue and then at the chessboard.
In actuality, she knew that no matter how Su Qingxue yed, it was all dead ends, just like with
Xuanyuan Yufan.
No matter what path he takes, it''s bound to not work.
--------------------------------
Su Qingming didn''t expect that Xuanyuan Yufan would suddenly cancel this operation. This to him, was
just an iprehensible move.
"Your Highness, you suddenly deciding this, could it be......" Su Qingming looked to Xuanyuan Yufan
with an anxious expression.
This to him was nothing more than a chance to extract revenge, to help Su Qingyuan get revenge.
And only under these circumstances, can Su Qingyan finally lose her standing. In addition, at that time,
she would have no choice but to marry Xuanyuan Yufan.
Women, to Xuanyuan Yufan, was nothing more than a ything. Later, he just needs to find an
opportunity to let Su Qingyan make a fool of herself, and that way, Xuanyuan Yufan will naturally
voluntarily abandon that kind of woman.
Then, his chance to take revenge wille. He will be able to bully and trample upon Su Qingyan
however he wants. He can make her beg for death.
But now, just one word from Xuanyuan Yufan messed up all his ns.
How could he be content?
"The things this Prince has decided, do you have an objection?" Xuanyuan Yufan coldly shot a nce
at Su Qingming.

Su Qingming felt a bit nervous under his gaze, "Your Highness, this humble subject didn''t mean that."
Xuanyuan Yufan coldlyughed at Su Qingming, "It''s best if you didn''t." Xuanyuan Yufan''s tone
abruptly turned cold. "Su Qingming, no matter how much this Prince dislikes Su Qingyan, it''s not up to
you to act."
Su Qingming listened to Xuanyuan Yufan''s words, coldly sweating. He certainly was thinking about this
matter.
After all, Su Qingyan was just a mere woman. She simply doesn''t have any use in helping Xuanyuan
Yufan get the throne.
Her only usefulness was probably the military power in Su Yun''s hands.
But if Su Yun loses the military power in his hands, then wasn''t he just an empty title General without
any real power? Then, at that time, the world will be his.
"Su Qingming, you don''t need to worry about this matter. This Prince naturally has a way." Xuanyuan
Yufan looked to Su Qingming with a smile.
But his following words still made Su Qingming coldly shiver.
"But, if you touch Su Qingyan, I won''t forgive you all the same."
Su Qingming looked to Xuanyuan Yufan and nodded, "Your Highness, don''t worry, this humble subject
understands."
Xuanyuan Yufan patted Su Qingming''s shoulders, "It''s good you understand. Don''t let me be
disappointed."
With that said, Xuanyuan Yufan turned and left. Seeing his retreating figure, Su Qingming couldn''t help
clenching his fist.
Su Qingyan, since I can''t take care of you, then taking care of your parents is also the same. I will
definitely let you have a taste of being ruined.
-------------------------------
Meanwhile, Murong Jingxuan and Xuanyuan Yuzhen were resting in the pavilion in the garden.
Towards the news of Xuanyuan Yufan cancelling his ns, they''d also already known.
"I really didn''t expect that second brother would actually give up on his ns." Xuanyuan Yuzhen
twirled the jade ring on his finger with a smile, "This Yi Consort really is as consort-mother said, a really
sophisticated woman."
"What kind of person Yi Consort is, I don''t know. But what kind of person the Second Prince is, I still
understand. Since it''s as such, saves us the effort to deal with him."
"Jingxuan, do you really think Xiuran is going to make a move during the Dragon Gate Banquet?"
Xuanyuan Yuzhen had already investigated all the ces, and it all showed that there wasn''t any
ambush.
Murong Jingxuan listened to Xuanyuan Yuzhen''s words and shook his head, "Just in case. Xiuran''s
personality I know very well. Moreover, he isn''t someone that will easily take things lying down."
"However, towards Xiuran being Jing Marquis''s son, if you hadn''t informed me, I wouldn''t have
guessed." Xuanyuan Yuzhen looked to Jingxuan and inly spoke.
"That''s right, this time, Xiuran is probably nning on finding a way out of an impasse, but of course,
he won''t have the chance to seed."
Murong Jingxuan still very much liked this friend, Xiuran. But since they''ve already chosen to stand on
opposite sides, then sooner orter they''ll be enemies.
"Xiuran won''t be able to walk out alive." Xuanyuan Yuzhen replied in seriousness, "He probably wants
to make a gamble."
Jingxuan turned to Xuanyuan Yuzhen and nodded, "Apart from this, there shouldn''t be a better
exnation."
"I''ve arranged for archers in the surrounding. They shouldn''t appear unless it''s absolutely necessary to
appear. After all, at that time, the ce will be chaotic, and there will be innocent casualties."
Hearing Xuanyuan Yuzhen''s words, Jingxuan smiled, "If you don''t be the Emperor, then it really is a
loss for this world."
Hearing Jingxuan''s seemingly teasing words, he helplessly shook his head, "You know I have my
ambitions elsewhere. But, for the world to end up in the hands of this bunch, I do also feel uneasy."
"Yuzhen, if you like this world, I''ll assist you. After all, I''m also like an older half-brother to you."
Xuanyuan Yuzhen looked to Jingxuan with his lips perked, "Jingxuan, at the bottom of it, I still like a
carefree life. What I yearn for is freedom. I''m unwilling to be bounded to this ce."
"Yuzhen, have you ever imagined what the world would be like if the other princes were to get the
throne?"
Xuanyuan Yuzhen looked to Jingxuan and sunk into deep thought.
The future really is still an unknown. And this future, to him, was just the beginning.
