Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 184

Chapter 184 I Won’t Die
The crescent moon was slanting to the west. A wisp of moonlight was like a naughty child. It crawled out of a crack in the window that had never been tightly closed. The pure white halo secretly moved inward and landed on the sky-blue curtain of the bed.

Yun Xiao’s body shrank and her forehead was covered in black droplets of liquid. Her porcelain-white cheeks had been replaced by dense black ink. The skirt on her body had also turned completely black. There was even a lot of black liquid soaking in the skirt and falling down from the bed.

Her pink and tender lips were blue and purple, occasionally trembling slightly.

The man in black robes walked back and forth in front of the bed. He looked out of the door from time to time and then turned around to look at the people on the bed. His face was unfathomable with the ebony ghost mask on it, but his amber eyes were filled with deep worry.

The door was suddenly pushed open with great force, and a strong smell of blood rushed towards her nose. Yun Xiao did not know who the person was, but her heart was slightly cold. However, she remembered that this was Rong Jin’s place, and very few people could enter, so she was relieved.

She did not intentionally feel relieved. It was just that her body was too painful, and she was completely drained of all her strength. Even if she opened her eyes, she did not have the strength to do so.

Her body tightly shrank, but Yun Xiao felt that the pain on her body did not lessen in the slightest.

She bit her lips tightly so that she wouldn’t cry out for help.

Rong Xun glanced at the scene in the room and saw Yun Xiao’s current situation. His heart sank, but he didn’t see Rong Jin’s figure. His thick eyebrows were slightly adjusted, and the ebony ghost mask emitted a gloomy and cold light.

He suddenly sat down and smashed his arm heavily onto the table. A set of tea cups from a blue and white porcelain kiln on the table jumped a few times. Finally, with a “pa” sound, the tea cups on the table split into two.

However, Rong Xun completely ignored the tea cup. His expression was embarrassed. He stared at the woman on the bed and saw that the black color on her cheeks was getting thicker and thicker. Her amber eyes were also getting darker and darker, emitting a strong aura of not allowing strangers to enter.

“Someone, go urge your master. When will he come?” Rong Xun couldn’t bear the anxiety in his heart and immediately scolded him at the door.

As he finished speaking, the door was opened from the outside. Rong Jin, who was dressed in a long moon-white robe, walked in. His skirt was covered in black plum blossoms, and his expression was solemn. He looked at Rong Xun before he said softly, “How’s the matter going?”

“It’s the eldest girl of the Xiao Clan,” Rong Xun said, his face ashen. He immediately stood up with a gloomy expression. He thought of something and then said, “Hurry up and save her.”

When Rong Jin heard about the girl from the Xiao Clan, he raised his eyebrows slightly. If he remembered correctly, the person who followed them last time was also the eldest girl from the Xiao Clan. It seemed that this eldest girl from the Xiao Clan was really interesting.

He nodded his head. When he saw this person lying on the bed and the black color of the bed, a strange look flashed in his eyes. Outside, a guard filed into the room, lifted the bath tub into the screen and injected the bath soup. Only then did Rong Jin walk in and pour the medicine in his hand.

After dealing with all these matters, Rong Jin walked to the bed. Before he could get close to Yun Xiao, he felt a strong gaze falling on him from behind.

With a sigh, Rong Jin picked up Yun Xiao and walked inside. Feeling the person in his arms struggling, Rong Jin raised his eyebrows and said, “Wake up?”

Yun Xiao’s butterfly-like eyelashes blinked, conveying her meaning. Although her entire body was black, she could still feel her cheeks burning.

She wanted to remind him that there was a difference between men and women. She wanted to take a medicinal bath and leave her outside. However, when she remembered that she did not have the strength to climb up, she put away all her dissatisfaction.

Rong Jin and Yun Xiao tossed her head into the bath tub, and then reached out to retrieve Yun Xiao’s head, so that she wouldn’t suffocate to death.

Yun Xiao did not expect Rong Jin to do this. His face was flushed red. Just as Rong Jin took it out of the tub, he coughed and spat out a large mouthful of black blood from the edge of the tub.

Yun Xiao’s expression was embarrassed. She felt as if every time she coughed, she would cough out her heart and lungs. However, she could not say a word.

After an unknown amount of time, Yun Xiao finally felt that the pain in her body had dissipated a little. Only then did she open her eyes and met a pair of dark eyes.

Yun Xiao originally wanted to accuse him, but before she could accuse him, she saw Rong Jin take out an item from his bosom, throw it into the water, and turn around to leave.

Yun Xiao was furious. When she saw that the purse in front of her was filled with snake eggs, the anger in Yun Xiao’s heart lessened a bit. Rong Jin’s magnetic voice echoed in her ears, “Don’t let her die.”

Remembering that Rong Xun had said those words to him before he left the carriage, Yun Xiao had a feeling that she was the little snake.

However, this feeling was too surprising. Yun Xiao coughed lightly a few times and swallowed all the discontent that had reached her mouth. Her body was weak and she did not have the strength to retaliate, so why did she have to speak so quickly?

Rong Jin walked out of the room and saw that Rong Xun had already packed up a set of fine green glazed tea cups and sent them over. There were also a few plates of dessert. At this moment, Rong Xun did not seem to be panicking as before, instead, he was gulping down on them.

Rong Jin’s thick eyebrows revealed a faint sense of helplessness. Just as he sat down, he poured himself a cup of tea and drank it. Only then did he feel a little more comfortable with his heart.

He looked at Rong Xun, who was trying his best to finish his meal, with a faint look of envy in his eyes. However, this emotion was fleeting. Even so, he still said frankly, “I may not be able to save her.”

Rong Xun’s hand that was holding the chopsticks stiffened for a moment before recovering to its original state. He picked up a snack and swallowed it gracefully before looking at Rong Jin, “How confident are you?”

“40%.” To tell the truth, Rong Jin was not sure if he could really save Yun Xiao. “If the little snake could successfully hatch, then there was a 70% chance.”

After Rong Xun heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief and continued to eat. “Is this why you want to give the little snake to Yun Xiao?”

He nodded without saying anything.

Looking at the dizzy heat coming out of the screen, Rong Jin’s eyes deepened. “Did you find what you were looking for?”

Rong Jin shook his head, “I searched all the palaces in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but I couldn’t find what we wanted.”

After saying that, he paused slightly and sighed, “Big brother, stop looking. I won’t die.”

Rong Jin glanced at him. Obviously, he did not take Rong Xun’s words to heart. That glance implied a warning. Obviously, he did not want Rong Xun to continue.

However, Rong Xun had to say, “Big brother, I know you did it for my own good. However, you searched for that thing for more than ten years and still couldn’t find it. Why? It’s a good day. I’m already very satisfied with it.”

“I won’t give up,” Rong Jin said. He glanced at Rong Xun and turned to leave.

Behind him, Rong Xun stared at the figure with a bitter smile on his lips, and a faint helplessness appeared in his amber eyes.

He had advised Rong Jin countless times, but unfortunately, Rong Jin was unwilling to admit defeat. He had dragged him down for too long. Perhaps only if he was freed would his eldest brother be able to live a normal life. There would be girls he liked and rivers and mountains that he deserved …

Yun Xiao lay in the bathtub and soaked in the medicinal bath. She felt that her body was much more comfortable and no longer felt so painful. She simply pulled off the outer robe on her body. The outer robe was wet on her body, and it was very uncomfortable.

However, her hands were slightly stiff when she took off her clothes. Was she only 40% sure that she would be able to save herself?

She looked at the little snake. Two hours had passed since she saw the cracks on its shell in the palace, but the egg still had no intention of hatching.

After soaking the little snake in hot water, there was no movement from the little snake. Yun Xiao’s face couldn’t help but turn pale. Could the little snake really be dead? Her life was all on this little snake.

Yun Xiao’s eyes were fixed on the snake egg in her hand. She wished she could pop out the little snake, but no matter how hard Yun Xiao stared, the snake egg remained motionless.

Just as Yun Xiao was thinking about how to hatch the snake egg, Yun Xiao heard the conversation between the two people from outside.

Rong Jin came to the Eastern Jin Dynasty to be a protector, was he looking for something? But as a prince, did he want anything? As for coming to the Eastern Jin Dynasty to look for him? He even lost the best time of his life to the imperial palace of the Eastern Jin Dynasty?

Moreover, from their conversation, it seemed that this thing was related to Rong Xun’s life and death?

Once again, Yun Xiao heard the rumors of the two brothers in her previous life. Rong Jin was willing to be a proton for his younger brother for more than ten years. How could such friendship be the murderer of his younger brother?

Or was that rumor related to what Rong Jin was looking for?

Yun Xiao racked her brains. She could not imagine what the two of them were looking for in the imperial palace of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

She tried her best to gather the memories of her previous life, but unfortunately, she couldn’t find any useful clues in the end, so she had to give up in the end.

Smelling the fragrance of food coming from outside, Yun Xiao only felt her stomach rumble. She hadn’t eaten anything all night and spat out so much blood. At this time, she was hungry when she smelled the smell.

Yun Xiao used her other hand to firmly press down on her lower abdomen, not letting her belly cry out. However, there was another’gulu gulu ‘sound, which was transmitted directly to the outside world this time.

“What sound?”

Yun Xiao heard a cold and puzzled voice from outside.

After soaking in the medicinal bath, her fair and delicate skin returned to normal. Her cheeks flushed red. Since she had already been discovered, she no longer felt wronged.

Yun Xiao cleared her throat. Although her body was still in pain, she could already endure it.

Afraid that the people outside wouldn’t be able to hear him, Yun Xiao used all her strength and said to the people outside the screen, “I’m hungry, can you give me something to eat?” She had been fighting Zhou Jingyan all night in the palace, and she was wearing thin clothes. It was not easy to be hungry at this time.

After she finished saying this, her eyes suddenly widened, her body trembling uncontrollably. She raised her voice and screamed, her voice carrying lingering fear, “Help!”
