Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 176

Chapter 176 Stripping Smoothly
“Hatch … hatch …”

The corner of Yun Xiao’s mouth twitched fiercely. Her elegant little face was filled with ferocity. There was unconcealable surprise in Gu Jing’s calm eyes.

Why would the little snake hatch at this time? How could he choose to hatch at this time!

Yun Xiao’s mood changed from pleasant surprise to grief and indignation, and then to anger.

She didn’t know how much preparation she had made and was just waiting for the little snake to hatch, but this wasn’t the time! Where did she get the water? Where can I find the medicine?

“When the little snake hatches, you must soak it in hot water to keep its body temperature balanced. You must put the medicinal ingredients on this prescription in the bath soup. Only in this way can the little snake be more likely to survive. And the moment the little snake is born, the poison in your body will be suppressed most effectively.”

For her own life, Yun Xiao had always remembered Rong Jin’s words. However, right now, on the big tree, the surroundings were filled with cold winds. Her body temperature had plummeted, so where would there be any medicinal ingredients in the bath soup!

Yun Xiao sized up the palace. At this time, there were already many people in the palace. How could she have the chance to run out from the big tree?

She glared fiercely at Rong Xun. It was all him. If he hadn’t stopped her from watching the show, she would have run out of the palace now. As long as she ran out of the palace, she would have had the chance to jump into the bathtub as fast as she could and soak in the medicinal bath.

Looking around, Yun Xiao could only stare at the man wearing the ebony ghost mask with an awkward expression, “Take me away.”

“Why?” Rong Xun still looked at the small eggshell in Yun Xiao’s hand. His gaze was deep, and he couldn’t regain his senses for a long time. There was a trace of sadness, sorrow, frustration, regret in the depths of his amber eyes …

All sorts of emotions mixed together, making people’s eyes blur.

Yun Xiao’s heart tightly pulled together, and she withdrew her gaze from those phoenix eyes. “Little Snake is about to hatch, so she needs to take a medicinal bath. Because you’ve delayed my time, you can’t go back to Yun Manor, so you have to take me back.”

“Heh” Rong Xun laughed, “Are you sure you want me to take responsibility?”

Just as Yun Xiao was about to nod her head, she suddenly realized that this responsibility was somewhat different from what she had said. She had already prepared everything she needed, so returning to the Yun Clan was the best choice. “You can just send me back to the Yun Clan.”

Rong Xun raised his head and his gaze fell on Yun Xiao’s face. His black eyes under the ebony ghost mask flickered with a faint light, “Watch the play.”

Yun Xiao wished she could slap the snake egg in her hand on Rong Xun’s face. She had just said that she would send him back to the Yun Clan, but she turned around and said that she was going to watch the play. There was no place to vent her resentment in her chest. “If you don’t go back, Little Snake will die!” Her life was going to die with the little snake!

“Did Rong Jin give you this little snake?” The words from under the ebony ghost mask carried a dull and unusual look.

“If he didn’t give it to me, where would I find one?” Yun Xiao had no interest in playing with snakes. If it wasn’t for the fact that this snake was related to her life, Yun Xiao wouldn’t be happy to keep the little snake by her side.

“Don’t worry, I won’t die.” After Rong Xun finished speaking, he shifted his gaze from the little snake and stopped looking at the little snake and Yun Xiao.

“If you die, will you compensate me?” Yun Xiao looked down and saw that the Eldest Princess had already arrived at the palace. She quickly ran into the room, and then a shrill cry sounded from the room.

Hearing this cry, Yun Xiao shook her body and shook off goosebumps on the ground. She coughed dryly to conceal her embarrassment.

“There is only one snake egg in the world. There is no compensation if you die.” Rong Xun narrowed his eyes and casually replied. This snake egg was no ordinary snake egg. He did not expect Rong Jin to give the snake egg to Yun Xiao. There was something strange in his heart, but this strange thing only disappeared in an instant. “You seem to peel someone else’s clothes very smoothly?”

Only one? So precious? Rong Jin casually gave it to him? Yun Xiao originally wanted to accuse Rong Xun of compensating her own snake egg, but when she suddenly heard this sentence, Yun Xiao’s face turned red. Her hand holding the snake egg trembled slightly. What should she say? In her previous life, she and Zhou Jingyan were husband and wife, so she naturally stripped off her clothes without worrying about the safety of men and women? County princess Hui Ning was originally a girl, so she didn’t feel embarrassed stripping her clothes.

At that time, Yun Xiao did not think that being pointed out by Rong Xun like this would make her feel very embarrassed. “Anyway, I didn’t peel yours, what does it have to do with you?” She had only met Rong Xun for the first time today, and the two of them weren’t familiar at all.

Rong Xun’s deep amber eyes narrowed dangerously. He took out an item from his bosom and handed it to Yun Xiao.

Yun Xiao blinked her eyes, somewhat puzzled why Rong Xun gave her the book? Her hand moved faster than her brain’s reaction. After glancing at Rong Xun, she took the book over and took it in her hand. With the faint glass light, Yun Xiao could clearly see that there were two large “female trainings” written on the cover of the book.

Yun Xiao’s face turned black and green, green and white, white and purple. It was extremely beautiful. She no longer cared if there was anyone below. She directly hit the book on Rong Xun’s body and said sullenly, “Here you are!” She was not blessed with such a book, which meant that she no longer had the virtue and beauty of a woman.

Rong Xun subconsciously noticed Yun Xiao’s black face. Under the ebony ghost mask, the corner of his mouth slightly rose, “This is what Rong Jin told me to bring you.”

Yun Xiao’s face turned red again, wishing she had a needle in her hand to sew Rong Xun’s mouth together.

At this moment, Yun Xiao felt her hand empty and her palm lightened. The purse containing the snake egg had already landed in Rong Xun’s palm. Yun Xiao reached out to snatch it back, but before she could move, she heard a strange threat behind her. “If you want the little snake to live, be honest.”

Yun Xiao looked at Rong Xun with inquiry. Her slender eyebrows furrowed, and a dense inquiry landed on Rong Xun’s face, as if she was doubting whether Rong Xun could save the little snake.

She thought for a moment. Since she was unable to leave the palace now, she could not use Rong Jin’s methods to ensure that the little snake could live. However, Rong Xun and Rong Jin were brothers. In addition to Rong Xun’s gaze at the little snake just now, Yun Xiao felt that Rong Xun recognized the little snake no matter how she looked at it. It was just that she had never said it.

Everyone said that the Crown Prince, Rong Xun, would do what he said, except for his cold temperament and good character.

Since Rong Xun said this, there must be a way to save the little snake. Since that’s the case, he might as well gamble.

Yun Xiao saw that Rong Xun hung the little snake in his purse and stuffed it into his embrace. Her face was slightly red, but she did not say anything. She only coughed dryly and diverted her attention.

Many people gathered in the courtyard of the palace. These people looked around curiously and listened to the cries coming from the room. They were very curious to see what was going on inside.

However, there were Eldest Princess’ maids guarding the place, and the majestic Imperial Guards guarding the place. No one entered first.

The door was tightly closed, blocking the view of the people in the residence. When the door opened, the maid Banxia looked angry and ran out. She instructed the Imperial Guards, “Go and see where His Highness the Third Prince’s personal maid, Si Yun, went. The Crown Prince has orders, bring Si Yun over immediately.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Imperial Guards quickly ran out.

There was a burst of footsteps outside the palace. Yun Xiao cast a glance and her eyes suddenly stopped. Among those people, a man in a long moon-white robe had a long and jade-like body. His face was as handsome as a crown jade. The light of a faint glass lamp refracted on his body, giving him a faint softness.

As she slowly walked, her gaze became even more attractive. Yun Xiao could clearly see that Rong Jin’s gaze was looking at the big tree that she and Rong Xun were hiding in. A faint light flashed across her dark eyes.

However, that light flashed and disappeared. Yun Xiao thought that she had seen wrongly. When she looked over again, she discovered that his eyes were still endless black. Where was there any flowing light?

Yun Xiao was slightly surprised. She frowned and heard a series of saluting sounds. Rong Jin calmly walked into it and looked at everyone curiously, “What happened here? Why are there so many people? Did anyone see Prince in West Vietnam?”

Hearing his pretentious words, Yun Xiao’s eyebrows curved. She looked over curiously. Suddenly, her waist tightened. Yun Xiao could only withdraw her gaze and squint at the man beside her. “What are you doing?”

“It’s time to leave,” Rong Xun snorted coldly, somewhat annoyed by Yun Xiao’s absent-mindedness.

Yun Xiao was stunned, “Where are you going?”

“Others are looking for you. Are you prepared to never show up?” Rong Xun looked at Yun Xiao with a faint smile.

Yun Xiao’s face reddened slightly, “I really want to leave.” With the cold wind blowing on this big tree, how could it be better to watch the play at close range?

The two of them quickly disappeared from the tree. After they left, Rong Jin also sent the Imperial Guards to look for the Crown Prince of West Vietnam.

A cold breeze blew in her ears. Yun Xiao’s expression stiffened slightly, and she felt even colder. The wide cloak tightly wrapped around Yun Xiao, blocking all the wind and cold.

Yun Xiao hid in Rong Xun’s arms and looked at the ebony ghost mask on his face. For some reason, she felt that he was a person with a story.

Very quickly, the two of them landed on the ground and stopped at the rockery beside the lake. Yun Xiao glanced at the lake and the corner of her mouth curled into a trace of sarcasm. It was only because she had discovered the adultery between Zhou Jingyan and Hua Fei by the lake.

As for this rockery, Yun Xiao wished she could stay far away from it.

Just as Yun Xiao was about to leave, a gentle voice sounded not far away. “Crown Prince, Master said it was time for you to go over.”

Yun Xiao looked sideways and saw that the man not far away was wearing a brocade robe that was clear from the rain. The brocade robe was embroidered with elegant patterns. His hair was pulled up by a jade hairpin. His smooth and fair face was clearly cold and handsome, and he had an elegant charm when he raised his hand and threw his foot.

However, none of this was the focus of Yun Xiao’s attention.

Yun Xiao stared at the man opposite her, her brows tightly knitted together. Is this Jiang Qing? How could he look at himself with a gaze that didn’t recognize him at all?

Obviously, every time he saw him, he couldn’t help but ridicule him.

When Rong Xun saw Yun Xiao staring at his bodyguard, the corners of his mouth curled upwards, bringing with it a hint of sarcasm, “You can go down.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Qing was about to leave. Yun Xiao’s eyes tightly wrinkled together as she took a step forward and said, “Wait a moment!”

The man stopped and looked at Yun Xiao in surprise, his eyes filled with a faint inquiry.

“Are you Jiang Qing?” Yun Xiao was speechless. Seeing the impatience in his eyes, she did not probe and directly said her own question.

“Yes,” he said, turning to leave and disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Yun Xiao opened the corner of her mouth. This person was too changeable. He was actually so different from before. She snorted coldly and walked forward. She just happened to meet a pair of amber eyes. “How many people are called Jiang Qing beside you and Rong Jin?” None of them had seen Jiang Qing before, and Jiang Qing’s appearance was also a recent event, so they could only be sent by Rong Xun.

“One,” Rong Xun turned around and walked out of the rockery, leaving Yun Xiao dumbfounded in the wind. “One?” Then why did it change so much?

Before Yun Xiao could figure it out, a group of imperial guards appeared in front of her and Rong Xun …
