Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 189

Chapter 189 A Coincidence at the Palace Gate
An exquisite carriage made of yellow pear wood slowly moved forward. The carriage was decorated with silk brocade.

The carriage passed through the main street and soon arrived in front of the palace gate.

Thin and dense sunlight shone through the fluttering window. The sunlight fell on a palm-sized elegant and exquisite face. The long fan-like eyebrows left a shadow on the eyelids.

The carriage suddenly stopped. Only then did Yun Xiao open her eyes. The puzzlement and drowsiness in the depths of her eyes still hadn’t dissipated before her lips gently opened. “Here?”

Chun Lan had already opened the carriage curtain and saw that the carriage was parked at the entrance of the palace. She was pleasantly surprised and said, “Yes, Miss, we have already arrived. This servant will help you out of the carriage.”

Yun Xiao first drank a glass of water and moistened her throat. Only then did she get off the carriage with Chun Lan’s help. She stood in front of the palace gate and looked at the majestic palace gate. At the entrance of the palace, the Imperial Guards were dressed in armor and had a dignified appearance. They were handsome and had a serious expression.

As Yun Xiao watched, the corners of her mouth slightly rose. She said softly, “It’s easy to enter, but it’s not easy to come out.”

Chun Lan was surprised, “Miss, is there anyone who won’t let us out?”

Yun Xiao only smiled and did not reply. Seeing that her father-in-law had already walked over, Chun Lan did not ask any further.

Eunuch has received quite a lot of money from the Yun Clan, so his attitude towards Yun Xiao is much better. “Fourth Miss, let’s go in.”

Yun Xiao nodded lightly, but there was a trace of impatience between her eyebrows.

At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves coming from not far away. He looked sideways and saw a tall and handsome horse running towards the palace. Behind him was a carriage made of fine pear blossom wood. It was exquisite but luxurious.

The horse was carrying a man. The man was wearing a black brocade robe. Dark patterns were embroidered on the robe with golden silk threads. It shone brightly in the sunlight. A jade pendant hung around his waist. The ebony ghost mask on his face flashed with light.

In the blink of an eye, both the horse and the carriage behind them came closer. Rong Xun rolled over and dismounted, looking at Yun Xiao seemingly unintentionally.

Yun Xiao’s face was flushed red, and she was secretly not worried. Last night, she had clearly guessed Rong Xun’s identity, but who knew that he had actually run away?

The words she wanted to accuse were swallowed. What position did she have to accuse Rong Xun?

Very quickly, a man walked down from the carriage behind. The man was wearing a moonlight white robe. He stood tall and tall with a gentle face. He was as handsome as the wind.

When Eunuch saw the two of them, he had already welcomed them. “This servant greets the Crown Prince. Greetings to the First Prince.”

Although Yun Xiao wasn’t worried, she bowed and didn’t say anything.

Rong Xun and Rong Jin seemed to not recognize her, so they nodded and walked towards the palace.

When the two of them disappeared from the palace, Yun Xiao asked innocently, “Eunuch, who are these two people?”

Seeing that Yun Xiao was interested, Eunuch immediately said, “These two people are from Country of Xiyue. One is Prince and the other is the First Prince. That First Prince is a proton in our Eastern Jin Dynasty. Prince entered the capital a few days ago and said that he was here to pick up the First Prince.”

After he finished speaking, he said with a regretful expression, “It’s a pity that the crown prince is the eldest son of the Xi Yue Crown Prince. He should have been the crown prince’s best choice. Who would have thought that the crown prince would not be fated with the crown prince if he came to the Eastern Jin Dynasty to be a protector?”

Yun Xiao smiled and complimented them a few times, but in fact, her mind had already fallen on the two of them.

I wonder what these two are up to. Normally, after the Emperor dies, the Crown Prince can ascend to the throne. However, this person from West Vietnam is very interesting.

Although Xi Yue and Dong Jin were evenly matched, the eldest prince of Xi Yue wanted to come to Dong Jin as a protector. However, five years after the death of the Yue Emperor, the Crown Prince of Xi Yue still hadn’t succeeded to the throne. As for why he hadn’t succeeded to the throne, it had always been a mystery.

Yun Xiao’s mind spun. Suddenly, a light flashed in her eyes. A thought flashed through her mind. Could it have something to do with what Rong Jin said?

If it wasn’t for that thing, how could someone as arrogant as Rong Jin be willing to come to the Eastern Jin Dynasty as a protector?

The more Yun Xiao thought about it, the more likely it was.

As she listened to Eunuch Lu, Yun Xiao thought, who would have thought that halfway down the road, she would hear a clanking sound.

Yun Xiao looked up and saw a girl walking over not far away. She wore a red jacket embroidered with lilies, and a hundred pleated Ruyi moon skirt of the same color floated to the soles of her feet. As she walked, her skirt fluttered like an immortal painting.

The messenger combed his flying cloud bun, and his ruby steps shook gently at the edge of his hair. He flicked his hair and paired it with five red gem headgear. One step at a time, it caught people’s eye.

When county princess Hui Ning saw Yun Xiaozhi, the smile on her face was momentarily stunned. However, it quickly disappeared. She slowly stepped forward and the corner of her mouth curled up slightly. “Why did the fourth young miss enter the palace?”

Yun Xiao bowed first with a calm expression, “Reporting to the county princess, His Majesty has summoned you. Yun Xiao dares not not come.”

County Lord Hui Ning’s expression was embarrassed. After looking at Yun Xiao’s face for a while, he coldly snorted, “I didn’t expect that the fourth young lady’s abilities would become better and better. She was actually able to be summoned by His Majesty. I would like to say congratulations first.”

‘”I don’t dare,” Yun Xiao said. She glanced at the sky and whispered, “I wonder if the county princess has anything else to do? If the county princess is fine, Yun Xiao will leave first. Yun Xiao’s status is low and she doesn’t want His Majesty to wait for too long.”

After she finished speaking, she called for Eunuch to hurry up and leave. Eunuch’s expression was stiff. He apologized to County Head Huining for a few mistakes and then turned around to leave.

County princess Hui Ning looked at Yun Xiao’s figure getting farther and farther away, her gaze deepening as she coldly snorted, “Fourth Young Lady, take your time. I’ll wait for you at Imperial Concubine Hua’s place first.”

Yesterday, something like that happened in the imperial palace. She shouldn’t have entered the palace today, but she was deeply afraid that the Emperor would summon Yun Xiao and allow her to marry him directly. That was a great calamity for her. When she was explaining why she could enter the palace, she received Imperial Concubine Hua’s invitation to come to the palace to talk.

In his previous life, only Imperial Concubine Hua had managed to laugh until the end. She was named Imperial Concubine by Zhou Jingyan. Anyone with brains could tell that Imperial Concubine Hua was from Zhou Jingyan.

Regarding what happened last night, although she was angry with Concubine Hua, she knew that if she wanted to get the position of Third Prince’s Concubine, it wouldn’t be a bad thing to take the path of Concubine Hua.

After thinking through all this, she immediately changed her clothes and entered the palace.

He didn’t expect that he would encounter Yun Xiao here, so he couldn’t hold back and wanted to ridicule him.

However, seeing that Yun Xiao’s expression was inconvenient and she kept walking forward, County Lord Hui Ning’s eyes darkened a little again. She called the maidservant beside her and gave her a few orders in her ear. The maidservant then turned around and left.

Yun Xiao did not mind meeting county princess Hui Ning on the way. She quickly arrived outside the Imperial Study Room.

Yun Xiao looked at the three words “Imperial Study” on the plaque, her gaze gloomy, as if she still remembered that scene in her mind.

Her eldest prince caught a cold. She had called for a doctor, but the doctor hadn’t gone for a long time. She could only carry Nuo Nuo out to find the doctor. Unexpectedly, when she arrived at the entrance of the palace, Yunxiao knew that she had been grounded in the palace by Zhou Jingyan.

After being questioned, she learned that something had happened to the Yun Clan. More than 200 members of the Yun Clan had all been imprisoned, and she was grounded in the harem.

The imperial edict had already arrived at her palace, but it was suppressed by Chun Lin.

She did not believe this result, nor did she want to believe that Zhou Jingyan would be so heartless. She hugged Nuo Nuo and rushed out of the palace. The Imperial Guards blocked her way and forbade her from leaving the palace. However, she pointed her sword at herself and forced herself to come to the entrance of the Imperial Study. However, she did not expect that Zhou Jingyan would not want to see her.

She knelt outside the imperial study for two hours. The door to the imperial study finally opened. She also saw the man who she admired wholeheartedly. However, the gentle face of the past was already filled with disgust and disgust. “What are you doing here?”

She knelt in front of Zhou Jingyan and ignored his cold words. “Husband, what Chun Lin said was false, wasn’t it? Yun Clan didn’t collaborate with the enemy and betray the country, right?”

Zhou Jingyan kicked her away with a cold expression. The corners of his mouth were as cold as winter snowflakes. “The evidence of the Yun Clan collaborating with the enemy to sell the people is conclusive. It is not something you can erase with a single sentence.”

She didn’t believe it. She asked Zhou Jingyan to investigate thoroughly, but Zhou Jingyan was about to turn around and leave. She knew that the Yun Clan matter was not something that could be clearly explained. Seeing that Nuo Nuo’s cheeks were abnormally red and the wind was getting colder and colder, she could only ask Imperial Physician Zhou Jingyan to treat Nuo first.

What she couldn’t believe was that Zhou Jingyan had directly issued a decree, letting the palace maid snatch the child from her bosom and hand it over to Lan Shuya to raise.

She thought that Lan Shuya was her cousin and had always had a close relationship with her. She would definitely take good care of Nuo Nuo, so she stopped struggling.

Later, she went to the Spring Forest to send a message to Lan Shuya, asking her to help save the Yun Family. Lan Shuya agreed, and she was filled with joy.

Unexpectedly, what awaited her was the decapitation of more than 200 members of the Yun Clan. Father Yun Maozhe was sentenced to hanging. Nuo Nuo was slandered for not being Zhou Jingyan’s child. Her mother, the Lu Clan, committed suicide by hanging a beam, and the entire Yun Clan was killed overnight.

Everything that happened in the past seemed to appear in front of her once again. It was repeated over and over again. Her heart was broken over and over again, and a faint wipe of tears seeped out from the depths of Yun Xiao’s eyes.

She couldn’t help but take a step back, because the place under her feet was the place where she had knelt for two hours in the past.

In her new life, she waited at the entrance of the Imperial Study again, which was not without irony.

In her previous life, she had spent her entire life and had never entered the Imperial Study.

In this life, she waited at the entrance of the Imperial Study Room, waiting for the Jin Emperor to summon her.

The only difference was that the master of the Imperial Study was not Zhou Jingyan.

Just as Yun Xiao was wandering around, the door of the Imperial Study Room was opened with a creak. Eunuch walked out from inside and walked to Yun Xiao with a happy expression. “Fourth Miss, His Majesty is already waiting. You can go in.”

Yun Xiao slowly regained her senses. She glanced at the door of the Imperial Study Room and thanked the eunuch who had sent the message. Her eyes were deep and the corners of her mouth were slightly pursed. Yun Xiu’s hands were tightly clenched together, giving her the feeling of deciding to go to the execution ground.

Chun Lan took a step forward. She did not understand Yun Xiao’s expression. She only thought that she was happy. She walked forward to support Yun Xiao’s arm and said softly, “Miss, let’s go in.” Making the emperor wait, if one of them wasn’t able to deal with it, it would be a great crime to kill the head.

There were many people in the imperial palace, and she was warned by the madam to keep an eye on the girl.

Yun Xiao reached out to grab Chun Lan’s small hand and smiled at her to conceal the deep hatred in her eyes, “Let’s go.”
