Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 173

Chapter 173 Prince Rong Xun
Yun Xiao was slightly stunned because she saw the two of them standing in front of her.

Yun Xiao lowered her eyebrows. Sure enough, she also saw Zhou Jingyan looking at Rong Jin and the Crown Prince of Xi Yue in surprise. It wasn’t just them. Everyone’s gaze at the banquet was on the Crown Prince of Xi Yue and Rong Jin.

The ebony mask on the crown prince’s face shone brightly under the light of the night pearl. “Third Highness, can I borrow something from you?”

Many people sucked in a breath of cold air at the banquet. He was even more reluctant to look away from Zhou Jingyan and the Crown Prince of Xi Yue. This Crown Prince of Xi Yue was truly impolite. He had come to the Eastern Jin Dynasty today and left the people of the Eastern Jin Dynasty behind in the morning. If someone hadn’t come up with an idea and asked Rong Jin to look for them, the Crown Prince of Xi Yue would probably not have given face to the Eastern Jin.

Moreover, now that the Crown Prince of West Yue had borrowed something from Third Prince Zhou Jingyan without saying anything, he felt that something was wrong.

Not only did Zhou Jingyan feel that something was wrong, but Yun Xiao, who was behind him, also felt that something was wrong. A bad thought surged into his heart.

After Zhou Jingyan was stunned, he quickly regained his senses. He stared at the two people in front of him. He was gentle and refined as he chuckled, “Country of Xiyue Prince, if you have something to say, why don’t you say it directly?”

The Crown Prince of Xi Yue turned to look at Yun Xiao behind Zhou Jing Yan. Under Yun Xiao’s surprised gaze, an indifferent voice resounded throughout the hall. “Let me borrow the maidservant behind you.”

Yun Xiao’s eyes widened again. Her stunned gaze first looked at Zhou Jingyan, then shifted to Country of Xiyue Prince. Then, she continued to look at Rong Jin’s face. Then, she met a pair of dark eyes that were so dense that they could not be melted

Rong Jin chuckled and whispered, “Your Highness, please don’t blame me. Second Brother didn’t bring any servants with him this time, so I borrowed the maidservants behind you.”

His explanation caused the ministers in the hall to slightly relax their tightly wrinkled eyes. However, even so, there were still quite a few people who looked at Country of Xiyue Prince with malicious gazes.

Zhou Jingyan’s eyes wrinkled tightly. In just a moment, he returned to normal. He gave Yun Xiao a look and saw that Yun Xiao was staring blankly at the two people in front of him. For some reason, he suppressed his anger in his heart and said, “Pour tea!”

Yun Xiao naturally recognized the anger in Zhou Jingyan’s voice. She bowed to Country of Xiyue Prince and Rong Jin, held the teapot and poured tea for Zhou Jingyan. A faint glimmer of hope rose in her heart. No matter what, if she fell into Rong Jin’s hands, it would be much better than falling into Zhou Jingyan’s hands, right?

She lowered her eyebrows and restrained her eyes. Her expression was respectful, concealing the faint expectation in her heart.

Zhou Jingyan glared at Yun Xiao in a corner that no one could see. The expectation in Yun Xiao’s heart was like a basin of cold water being poured down from her head on her back, and her entire body was filled with coldness.

She still remembered that Zhou Jingyan had said that she could not leave his side before Zishi. Although she wished that Zhou Jingyan would die, Yun Xiao was unwilling to gamble with the safety of her family!

Zhou Jingyan snorted coldly and looked up at the Crown Prince of Xi Yue. “Logically speaking, the Crown Prince of Xi Yue is a distinguished guest of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. If you want to borrow a maid, I should naturally borrow it. However, this maid of mine is a bit different from others. If you want to borrow it, you have to ask her what she means. Otherwise, I will agree to turn around and run away on her own. At that time, my reputation will be bad.”

Yun Xiaoyun’s embroidered eyes were tightly clenched together. She wished that Zhou Jingyan could strangle her to death. Zhou Jingyan had made up his mind that he would not dare to leave with Yun Clan Country of Xiyue for the sake of Prince.

Sure enough, the Crown Prince of Xi Yue looked at him with a pair of sharp indifference, his gaze carrying a faint scrutiny.

Yun Xiao immediately regained her senses. The corner of her mouth hooked slightly and she bowed, “Reporting to His Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness the Third Prince has kindness towards this servant. If His Highness the Crown Prince does not have someone to serve, this servant can wait for the Crown Prince to serve him later.” Anyway, what Zhou Jingyan said was that he was not allowed to leave before Zishi. After Zishi, Zhou Jingyan did not dare to threaten him, did he?

Moreover, during this period of time, Yun Xiao still had to watch a good show beside Zhou Jingyan.

When Country of Xiyue Prince heard Yun Xiao’s words, a cold aura suddenly burst out from his body. That aura carried a dense killing intent, as well as a trace of indifference and sharpness.

As for Rong Jin, who was beside Country of Xiyue Prince, when he heard Yun Xiao’s words, a strange look flashed across his dark eyes, and his expression did not change. “Second Brother, since they have already said it, why don’t we wait until the child arrives to pick them up? I just don’t know how to address this girl.”

Yun Xiao kept staring into Rong Jin’s eyes. Seeing Rong Jin say this, she coughed dryly and gritted her teeth. “This servant calls Four Clouds.” Fourth Young Lady Yun, isn’t it Four Clouds?

The Crown Prince of West Vietnam looked at Yun Xiao with a faint gaze. A strange look flashed across his indifferent eyes. He then nodded and walked towards the position he had prepared for them. This position was on the upper left, next to His Highness the Crown Prince. At this moment, Yun Xiao was only a week away from Rong Jin and the Crown Prince of West Vietnam.

Yun Xiao was a little uncomfortable with such a front seat. One had to know that Yun Xiao was sitting at the very end of the banquet that had invited her only a few times before. However, standing like this, it felt good to be able to see everyone’s every move.

Yun Xiao stood there, not feeling uncomfortable at all. She even nodded at the person who was looking at her. Among them, the person who gave Yun Xiao the most attention was County Lord Hui Ning.

Every time Yun Xiao smiled at county princess Hui Ning, she could feel that the anger on county princess Hui Ning’s body had deepened a little.

Songs and dances began, and beauties embroidered beautifully. They were graceful and colorful, and a faint fragrance swept through everyone’s facial features.

There was an atmosphere of harmony in the midst of the toasting.

However, Yun Xiao knew that under the appearance of harmony, everyone had their own schemes.

Yun Xiao poured tea for Zhou Jingyan one cup at a time. Zhou Jingyan took one cup at a time and occasionally talked to Zhou Jingchen and Zhou Chongyu beside him.

Zhou Chongyu even raised his cup in front of Yun Xiao and said with a faint smile, “This is the first time I’ve seen such a precious woman like Third Emperor Brother. Today’s banquet only drinks the tea and wine you poured. I’d like to taste the taste of the wine you poured.”

What he said was extremely provocative, but his handsome face was filled with curiosity. Yun Xiao gritted her teeth and replied, “It is an honor for this servant to be able to serve His Highness the Third Prince.” After Yun Xiao finished saying this, she couldn’t help but shiver.

She coughed dryly and poured a cup of tea for Zhou Chongyu in a proper manner. She quietly mixed the medicine in her fingernails into it.

Yun Xiao turned her eyes and smiled sweetly. She said to Zhou Jingchen on the other side, “Your Highness Prince, would you like to have a drink too?”

Zhou Jingchen looked at the faint smile on Yun Xiao’s face and his heart turned into water. He nodded and Yun Xiao immediately poured a cup for Zhou Jingchen.

Looking back, she saw Zhou Jingyan looking at her with a faint smile. There was a sharp look in his eyes. Yun Xiao also smiled back. She only said that she would not leave Zhou Jingyan’s side before her son, but she did not say that she was going to serve him alone.

Zhou Jingyan snorted coldly. Just as he was about to drink this cup with the Crown Prince and Zhou Chongyu, he heard the Crown Prince of Xi Yue not far away say loudly, “Since the Crown Prince, the Third Prince, and the Fifth Prince have all drunk, please help Siyun pour a cup for me.”

Yun Xiao listened, A sullen feeling arose in his heart. However, she still hoped that the Crown Prince of West Vietnam would bring her out of the imperial palace, After glancing at Zhou Jingyan, she poured a glass of wine for the Crown Prince of Xi Yue. Her expression seemed to be unhappy, but she couldn’t help but laugh in her heart. She drugged Zhou Jingyan and Zhou Chongyu’s drinks. She only needed to investigate to find out. However, she had already poured wine for so many people. At that time, no matter what, she wouldn’t be able to find out about the poison.

Yun Xiao poured a glass of wine for Country of Xiyue Prince. Just as she was about to leave, she heard a magnetic voice beside her ear, “My name is Rong Xun.”

Yun Xiao’s hand that was holding the wine jug paused slightly. His wrist suddenly went numb. The wine jug in Yun Xiao’s hand almost couldn’t hold. It just so happened that Rong Jin raised his hand to hold the wine jug. He smiled and said, “Since everyone poured, do you mind pouring a cup for me?”

Yun Xiao gritted her teeth and nodded. She was puzzled as to why her wrist was numb. She saw that Rong Jin had already poured some wine and handed it to her. “Thank you.”

Yun Xiao’s face turned red. As a result, when she was in the wine jug, she suddenly felt her fingers itch slightly. Her expression changed. She looked at Rong Jin in disbelief and gritted her teeth. She wished she could bite him. This villain actually took all the medicine hidden in her fingernails away.

He was merely returning his wine jug with a wide sleeve covering it, and no one would discover it.

However, that medicine was used to save his life!

Now that he had been taken away by Rong Jin, and now he had fallen into Zhou Jingyan’s hands, without any life-saving medicine, Yun Xiao did not know if she could leave Zhou Jingyan’s side alive.

Annoyed, she glanced at Rong Jin and saw that Rong Jin’s lips were open. Yun Xiao understood the meaning behind the words, and her eyes became even more furious because he said, “Don’t thank me.”

Thank him? Yun Xiao wished she could smash him to death right now.

Yun Xiao chuckled as she concealed her thoughts. She turned around and returned to Zhou Jingyan with the wine jug.

However, just as he walked to Zhou Jingyan’s side, Yun Xiao noticed something was wrong. Zhou Jingyan’s face had an abnormal blush, and even his ears were red.

Yun Xiao coughed softly and secretly said with a calm expression, “Third Highness, what’s wrong with you?”

“Push me out.” Zhou Jingyan looked at Yun Xiao with a faint smile. His gaze was clear, but it caused Yun Xiao’s heart to tremble slightly. She frowned, her gaze carrying a faint inquiry. Did Zhou Jingyan really know what he had done?

However, thinking of the poison Zhou Jingyan had suffered, Yun Xiao smiled and said respectfully, “Yes, Your Highness the Third Prince.”

Yun Xiao went to help Zhou Jingyan. She didn’t expect that Zhou Jingyan would almost press all of her strength on her body. Her body was unstable and she almost fell over. She heard Zhou Jingyan’s voice beside her ear. “Could it be that the fourth young miss is useless at all?”

Yun Xiao gritted her teeth and chuckled, “How could it be? Your Highness, there’s no need to worry.”

The two walked out of the palace from behind and summoned a palace maid to rest and change clothes. After entering the room, Zhou Jingyan dismissed the palace maid and asked Yun Xiao to close the door.

Yun Xiao originally wanted to go out when the door was closed, but before Yun Xiao could go out, the door was suddenly closed by a pair of hands stretched out from behind her.

Yun Xiao’s heart trembled slightly, her chin had already been severely choked by someone!
