Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 174

Chapter 174 Begin Counterattack
Under the swaying lights, the two figures stacked together, staring at each other, neither of them willing to speak first.

Yun Xiao felt her neck tightening bit by bit. The air in Yun Xiao’s chest was getting less and less, but Yun Xiao was unwilling to beg for mercy. She stared at Zhou Jingyan unyielding, her pair of eyes filled with anticipation, as if she was waiting for something to happen.

Yun Xiao looked at the magnified handsome face in front of her. In her previous life, she had been deceived by this face for a lifetime and ended up in a miserable death. In this life, other than hatred, she could no longer find any warmth from the past when she looked at this face.

She stared at Zhou Jingyan. She could clearly see the indifference and disgust in the depths of Zhou Jingyan’s eyes. The corner of her mouth rose slightly, and she secretly cursed in her heart that she had truly been blinded by emotions in her previous life.

Zhou Jingyan looked at her with disgust all the time, but she thought that he really liked her.

“What are you laughing at?” Zhou Jingyan originally thought that Yun Xiao would kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, but she did not. After a long time of staring, she was not worried about the faint mockery at the corner of Yun Xiao’s mouth.

Yun Xiao raised her eyebrows and looked at Zhou Jingyan with a sneer on the corner of her lips. “What am I laughing at? Should I report it to His Highness the Third Prince? I’m afraid that there isn’t such a law in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, right?”

“Is that so? Don’t forget, you’re going to be mine soon,” Zhou Jingyan said in an unusually cold and domineering voice.

However, Yun Xiao was not moved at all. She just smiled and said, “Your Highness, you’re joking. You said it very quickly, which means that it’s not the time yet. So can you let me go now? Since you don’t want me to die, are you pinching me now to prove to me that your hand is stronger?”

Yun Xiao sneered. She was very disgusted with Zhou Jingyan’s threatening tone. However, Yun Xiao was certain that even if Zhou Jingyan would make her suffer, she would not kill him. That was why Yun Xiao dared to talk to Zhou Jingyan like this.

Hearing Yun Xiao’s words, Zhou Jingyan’s expression was gloomy. In just an instant, he had recovered his warmth as jade. He stroked Yun Xiao’s hair with his big hand. Yun Xiao’s legs softened and she almost fell.

When Zhou Jingyan was angry, Yun Xiao was not afraid. When Zhou Jingyan pinched his neck and tried to kill him, she was not afraid either. However, Zhou Jingyan, who was wearing such a gentle and elegant face, made Yun Xiao’s scalp go numb.

“Give me the antidote?” Zhou Jingyan whispered softly, his thin lips slightly opened, revealing a trace of hot air blowing on Yun Xiao’s face.

Yun Xiao coughed dryly with a faint confusion in her eyes, “What antidote?” No matter what, the poisoning could not be admitted.

“You poisoned me,” said Zhou Jingyan in a certain tone, not a questioning tone, indicating that he was certain that Yun Xiao had poisoned this medicine.

The corners of Yun Xiao’s mouth slightly rose, and the corners of her mouth slightly hooked, “Your Highness the Third Prince is truly joking. I am just a daughter of a merchant. I was kidnapped by Your Highness the Third Prince for no reason. How could I possibly be poisoned?”

Zhou Jingyan’s gaze was awe-inspiring. He grabbed Yun Xiao’s hand in front of him and flipped through all ten fingernails of Yun Xiao’s fingers.

Yun Xiao secretly rejoiced that the medicine in her fingernails had been snatched away by Rong Jin. Otherwise, Rong Jin would have discovered it. In her mind, she remembered Rong Jin’s silent words, “Don’t thank me.”

So that’s what he meant. He felt a little strange in his heart. It turned out that he already knew that he had been suspected by Zhou Jingyan. He was reminding himself in disguise, but he had forgotten about it.

Zhou Jingyan searched for a long time, but couldn’t find the whereabouts of the powder. “Where did you hide the antidote? Or do you want me to personally search you?”

Yun Xiao’s gaze was sharp. She cursed Zhou Jingyan in her heart and said coldly, “Third Highness, I think you should find an imperial physician to look at your brain first.”

Zhou Jingyan’s face suddenly turned green and pale. Yun Xiao was implying that he was mentally ill. How could he not recognize it? “Yun Xiao, don’t think I don’t dare to kill you!”

Yun Xiao chuckled softly. She observed Jing Yan’s expression for a whole week. Seeing that his face was flushed red, a cold smile oozed out from his forehead. The corner of his mouth raised slightly and he extended his hand to push Zhou Jing Yan away. “Third Highness, do you think you should kill me now, or should I kill you?” The medicine she gave Zhou Jingyan was colorless, tasteless, and wouldn’t kill anyone. It would only make the person who took the medicine feel weak. Of course, if he drank the wine and took the medicine, he would probably be lying in bed for a few days.

Zhou Jingyan’s body was dizzy red, and his skin was frighteningly hot. However, his body was abnormally cold. He really wanted to grab the blanket and wrap himself up now.

He hadn’t expected that the trapped beast would actually be able to resist, so he didn’t investigate for a while and was actually tricked.

His expression was fierce. Seeing that Yun Xiao wanted to go out, he immediately pulled out the software on his waist and pressed it against Yun Xiao’s neck. His voice was ice-cold, “Yun Xiao, since you don’t take out the antidote, you can stay here with me first.”

Yun Xiao frowned. Isn’t there a rule in the imperial palace that no sharp weapons are allowed in the palace? However, Zhou Jingyan was so cunning that it was normal for him to be able to conceal the fact that he had brought in a sharp weapon.

Yun Xiao stood motionless, her gaze slightly focused, “Third Highness, do you want to keep pointing your sword at me like this?” She didn’t resist, not because she was afraid of Zhou Jingyan, but because she didn’t want her parents to worry about her injuries.

Yun Xiao stood motionless, but her gaze was filled with ruthlessness.

As long as he stalled with Zhou Jingyan, he would have a chance to leave, because Zhou Jingyan’s strength would slowly drain away from his body.

Zhou Jingyan could naturally sense the changes in his body. His expression became more and more embarrassing. He raised his soft sword and was about to stab at Yun Xiao. Even if Yun Xiao was injured, he still wanted to leave her behind.

However, just as the soft sword left Yun Xiao’s neck, Yun Xiao dodged to the side. At the same time, Yun Xiao stretched out her foot and kicked towards Zhou Jingyan. This kick was merciless and fiercely landed on the curve of Zhou Jingyan’s leg.

Yun Xiao turned around and watched Zhou Jingyan fall backwards because he couldn’t bear it. The corner of her mouth slightly raised. She didn’t expect that if she were to hand over a little bit of her life-saving fist to him, it would still be useful.

Yun Xiao sized up the room, got the broom behind the door, and knocked on Zhou Jingyan. Her hands were merciless, and Zhou Jingyan was already poisoned, so she was knocked unconscious by Yun Xiao.

Yun Xiao threw away her broom and walked to Zhou Jingyan’s side. She took the token hanging on his body to her palm, and the corner of her mouth slightly raised. She did not expect that this was an unexpected harvest.

She opened the door and walked out. Just a few steps later, the smile at the corner of Yun Xiao’s mouth froze on her face. She lowered her eyebrows and bowed, “This servant greets the county princess.” After all, county princess Hui Ning would come over, so Yun Xiao definitely wouldn’t come out of the house at this time.

However, now that they met, Yun Xiao could not hide.

County princess Huining did not see Zhou Jingyan return in the main hall. She became worried. Although she knew that Zhou Jingyan would be fine, she remembered that after Zhou Jingyan left, her complexion was blushing. She knew that the blushing was a little abnormal after she married someone in her previous life.

Thinking back to the woman beside Zhou Jingyan, who looked like Yun Xiao, she sent someone out to inquire. The news she received was that the Yun Family’s fourth girl had disappeared. The more certain the woman beside Zhou Jingyan was, the more likely she was to be Yun Xiao.

The more County Lord Hui Ning thought about it, the more he felt that something was going to happen, so he hurriedly chased after it and asked around before finding the palace.

Seeing Yun Xiao walk out of Zhou Jingyan’s room in a disheveled manner, County Lord Hui Ning’s eyes widened in displeasure. She rushed forward and reached out her hand, slapping Yun Xiao’s face fiercely, “You foxy charmer! You seduced His Highness the Third Prince!”

Yun Xiao’s gaze was cold. She retreated and avoided County Lord Hui Ning’s hand. A trace of coldness flashed across her eyes. “County Lord, what are you saying? I’m Hu Meizi. Why is County Lord running here so eagerly?”

“Of course it’s capture” County Lord Hui Ning remembered that this was the Imperial Palace and immediately swallowed the last word’rape ‘.

Yun Xiao smiled lightly and the corner of her mouth slightly raised. “County princess, what you said is wrong. This servant is originally from His Highness the Third Prince. Even if something really happened with His Highness the Third Prince, I’m afraid the County Princess can’t care about it, right?” Since county princess Hui Ning was about to beat the corners of her mouth to death, she naturally did not mind retaliating properly and was extremely angry with county princess Hui Ning.

“You! Yunxiao, you really are a fox! Shameless! You’re clearly not married yet, yet you can actually say such words!” County Lord Hui Ning’s eyes were about to crack as he stared fixedly at Yun Xiao.

Seeing that she was recognized by others, Yun Xiao smiled and said, “Did Hui Ning recognize the wrong person? I’ve been serving in front of His Highness the Third Prince for a long time.”

After hearing that for a long time, County Lord Hui Ning became angry again. She glared fiercely at Yun Xiao, her eyes filled with desperate resentment, “Ban Xia, capture her!”

Yun Xiao chuckled. She took out the token on her waist and waved it at County Lord Hui Ning. She said softly, “County Lord, this is the token that His Highness the Third Prince has always stuck to. He wants me to go out of the palace to take care of things. Do you really want to stop me?”

County prince Huining felt sullen and suffocated in his heart. He wished he could beat Yunxiao to death. However, Yunxiao was currently working for Zhou Jingyan, but he intercepted her. Zhou Jingyan was already dissatisfied with him because the Crown Prince had not died. If this matter were to be spread out again, County prince Huining could already imagine the consequences.

“Yun Xiao, one day you will regret your decision today!”

“Regret?” Yun Xiao sneered. She would never regret what happened today. If he did not resist, could it be that they would still be able to squeeze her? Yun Xiao couldn’t do it! She curled her lips and smiled, “County princess, His Highness the Third Prince is cultivating in his room. Do you want to go in and take a look?”

County Magistrate Hui Ning’s face turned red. She wanted to go in, but she was afraid of seeing something that she couldn’t see. Her expression was awkward. She looked up and saw Yun Xiao looking at her provocatively with a smile that wasn’t a smile. Her mind went hot and she immediately replied, “What do I not dare to go in and see?”

After she finished speaking, she took small steps and walked over. Yunxiao personally opened the door for county princess Hui Ning. However, when she reached the door, county princess Hui Ning hesitated a little. She was wondering if she wanted to go in or not?

The corner of Yun Xiao’s mouth rose slightly, “Did the county princess regret it?”

County Princess Hui Ning was furious with Yun Xiao’s expression. Her head went hot and she raised her head. “Go in,” she said. She was afraid that the two maids behind her would see Zhou Jingyan’s body. She said coldly, “You two stay here and guard!”

The two maids answered and followed behind Yun Xiao. However, when they saw Zhou Jingyan lying on the ground with a weak face in the room, County Lord Hui Ning was stunned and immediately ran over.

However, just as she raised her foot, she fainted with a muffled snort.

Yun Xiao put away the broom in her hand with a faint smile on her lips. Since County Lord Hui Ning wanted to marry Zhou Jingyan so much, she would help her.

Yun Xiao stepped forward and dragged the two of them together. Then, she took off their clothes. Only then did she leave the room and warned the two maids outside, “You guys stay here properly. The county princess and the third prince have something to discuss. You must not let anyone barge in.”

Ban Xia and Qianxia exchanged glances. They both knew that Hui Ning County admired Zhou Jingyan and often discussed matters with Zhou Jingyan. Naturally, there was no doubt that Zhou Jingyan nodded his head.

Yun Xiao turned around and walked out of the palace door with a faint smile on her lips. She hoped that the two of them would like the gift she gave them!

Just as Yun Xiao was feeling happy, a magnetic voice suddenly came from behind her, “Is Fourth Young Lady so happy?”
