Chapter 408 A Small Punishment (Ⅱ)
The next morning, when Emperor Hongjia left the court, he saw a figure dancing not far from the hall.
He frowned and looked the eunuch who was standing beside him. "Who is that woman? Why is she
dancing there? Hurry up and let her get out of!" Emperor Hongjia said coldly.
Seeing this scene, Xuanyuan Yvzhen walked up to Emperor Hongjia and said respectfully, "father, that
person is the granddaughter of Marquis Jingguo."
When Marquis Jingguo heard Xuanyuan Yvzhen mentioning his name, he tensed up all over. He
seemed to be waiting for what Xuanyuan Yvzhen would say next.
Xuanyuan Yvzhenn looked at the expression of Marquis Jingguo and smiled. "I heard that the
granddaughter of Marquis Jingguo offended my mother and was sent there to dance. If she doesn''t get
the approval of my father, she has to jump dance all the time."
Hearing what Xuanyuan Yvzhen had said, Marquis Jingguo frowned. Ning Yun should have been
sent to Ning Sicai. He wondered why she was in Qilian Yvran''s pce now, and why she had offended
Qilian Yvran.
Seeing the facial expressions of Marquis Jingguo, Emperor Hongjia snorted in his heart, and then
looked at the girl who was dancing trippingly, feeling more indifferent. "In that case, let her jump from
there all the time."
After taking a nce at Marquis Jingguo, he turned around and left.
Marquis Jingguo didn''t dare to plead for Ning Yun. Instead, he had a n in his mind.
"Don''t worry. It''s not a big deal. She might just make a small mistake, or the imperial will go give her
such a punishment." Murong Jingxuan walked up to him and said coldly, "you should have wanted to
plead for your granddaughter. But now, it''s not a good time."
Marquis Jingguo felt a chill in his spine. He had offended Xuanyuan Yvzhen and Murong Jingxuan in
the court this morning. But it didn''t matter. The most important thing was that if Xuanyuan Yvfan could

get a higher position in the army, then everything would be fine.
"What are you talking about? I''m just telling the truth." Looking at Murong Jingxuan, Marquis Jingguo
answered, "Fourth Prince can''t bepared with Second Prince at all."
Huh. Murong Jingxuan sneered in his heart, but did not take Marquis Jingguo''s words seriously.
After all, their goal now was to make Marquis Jingguo to attack them first. In this way, Marquis
Jingguo''s motives would be very obvious.
Looking at the receding figure of Murong Jingxuan, Marquis Jingguo was lost in thought. A n was
brewing in his mind.

When Emperor Hongjia arrived, Qilian Yvran was pruning flowers in the garden. When she saw
Emperor Hongjia she put down the quilt in her hand and said with a smile, "Your Majesty."
"Ranran, what did that Ning Yun do to you? Where do you ask her to dance?" Emperor Hongjia
walked to her and helped her up.
Hearing that, Qilian Yvran giggled while covering her mouth. "Not really. I just find an excuse to ask
Marquis Jingguo to do something. Yanyan told me that the best way now is to have Marquis Jingguo
take the initiative. In this case, the Second Prince will be involved."
Hearing what Qilian Yvran said, Emperor Hongjia recalled what Marquis Jingguo said in court this
morning. Currently, Suyun and Luo Guancheng were for sure to support the Crown Prince. However,
there were many people who supported Xuanyuan Yvfan, but only few of them supported Xuanyuan
Yvzhen. Judging from the expressions on Xuanyuan Yvzhen''s face, Emperor Hongjia understood their
intention.
After all, it was not a good time to show his true power. The best way was to wait. When everything
was ready, they could defeat the enemy.
"Your Majesty, what''s on your mind?" Seeing the expression on Emperor Hongjia''s face, Qilian Yvran
said with a smile, ''''I once said we do not need to talk about court affairs.''''
Hearing what Qilian Yvran had said, Emperor Hongjia held her hands and said, "this morning, Marquis
Jingguo has said something against the Fourth Prince. It seems that they don''t know that the Fourth
Prince is nning to fight for the throne now."
"Okay!" "In that case, my son can hide his real strength. If so, they have nothing to say when he gets
the throne." Qilian Yvran said, intrigued.
Emperor Hongjia agreed with Qilian Yvran. "Ranran, Fourth Prince was still defending the Crown
Prince in the court this morning, but Crown Prince didn''t take it seriously. He seems to have a better
solution now."
Thinking of what the empress had said before, Qilian Yvran raised the corner of her mouth. "The
empress is from a famous family, and naturally a lot of people are willing to help the Crown Prince.
Besides, now that General Luo and General Su are on the side of the Crown Prince, he has nothing to
fear."
"Of course, the Crown Prince can still not get their military leadership," Thinking of the smug
expression on Crown Prince''s face, Emperor Hongjia felt disgusted.
"Your Majesty, since you are here, why don''t youe with me to trim the flowers and nts here?"
Then Qilian Yvran put the scissors into the hands of Emperor Hongjia. "Do you know how carefully I
have taken good care of the flowers and nts in the yard in the past five years?"
Looking at the scissors in his hand, Emperor Hongjia smiled and said, "well, I''ll also feel the happiness
of ordinary people."
Xuanyuan Yvzhen and Murong Jingxuan arrived at the garden and saw Emperor Hongjia was pruning
flowers and nts with Qilian Yvran. It looked very harmonious, as if they were only themon
people who were lucky, not the emperor and his concubine.
"Mother, father, by the time we arrived here, Marquis Jingguo had already been to Zhaoyi Ning''s
pce. I think he should be questioning her now." Xuanyuan Yvzhen stared at their backs and slowly
stated.
"But we don''t need to worry about her since she has been informed of how to deal with it." Murong
Jingxuan continued with his words, "but ording to Marquis Jingguo''s character, Zhaoyi Ning would
be hurt."
"Of course not." Looking at them, Qilian Yvran said indifferently, "Even if Ning Sicai had been hurt
before, she would not be injured this time, and Marquis Jingguo will suffer this time."
Thinking of the man next to Ning Sicai, Murong Jingxuan curled his lips into a smile. "Mother is right.
But I neglected it. After all, Xvrao is now her bodyguard, and he only listens to her. If she is hurt, then
Xvrao won''t let go of Marquis Jingguo."
"We allow Xvrao to be with her so he can protect his sister, but Zhaoyi Ning is really a honest person."
Qilian Yvran couldn''t help praising her when he thought of the character of Ning Sicai.
