Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 202
Chapter 202 Poisoning For Medicine
“Wood, be careful.” Zhou Jingyan didn’t have time to think about it. He moved his body and ran forward like a sword, pulling Yun Xiao’s figure away before the bowl of soup landed on Yun Xiao’s body.
Yun Xiao was still unable to regain her senses. All she could think about was that sentence, “Wood, be careful!”
A series of questions surged into his mind. Why did he call her Wood? Such a familiar name could only be called by Zhou Jingxu in his previous life.
Every time she came to the imperial palace and left, she would follow a small tail behind her and say, “Sister-in-law Mutou, when are you going to cook again?”
“Mutou Xiaoxiao, I order you to cook for me!”
“Wood, wait for me!”
…
Every word and deed from the past surged into her mind once again, causing Yun Xiao’s expression to be slightly unnatural.
Suddenly, Zhou Jingxu pushed her back and hit a wall not far away. Her forehead touched the wall and she grinned in pain.
However, a familiar voice sounded behind him, “It hurts!”
Yun Xiao turned around and only had time to see the father-in-law who had escaped. Then, she fell to the ground and hugged Zhou Jingxu’s arm in pain.
His exquisite face was now covered in sweat. Drops of cold sweat seemed to fall on Yun Xiao’s heart, causing her heart to tightly clench.
Without caring about anything else, Yun Xiao immediately stepped forward and helped Zhou Jingxu up, “How are you?”
Zhou Jingxu opened his eyes and met the pair of worried eyes. Good, at this moment, she only had eyes for him! “I’m fine, don’t worry!”
Cold sweat dripped down his forehead, and steam was emitting from his arms. Under such circumstances, it was strange for Yun Xiao to believe that he was fine!
Moreover, because of what happened in her previous life, Yun Xiao always felt guilty about Zhou Jingxu.
Yun Xiao first helped Zhou Jingxu sit down, then ignored Zhou Jingxu’s struggle and pulled up the robe on his left arm.
Upon entering his eyes was a red and swollen little arm, dots of white blisters were floating up. His entire arm was red and purple. Countless white blisters were growing at a visible speed, causing Yun Xiao’s heart to start to tremble.
What worried Yun Xiao the most was that apart from a few blisters on the small arm, the scalded area was slowly turning green and purple. Moreover, the green and purple area was still looking around bit by bit. In the blink of an eye, the entire arm became blue and purple.
Yun Xiao’s expression changed drastically. This soup was poisonous!
“Hurry up, I’ll take you to the imperial physician!”
Zhou Jingxu also noticed the severity of his arm. He didn’t want Yun Xiao to worry, so he pretended to be relaxed and said, “Isn’t it just a little scald? As for being so anxious? Please talk to me.”
Yun Xiao’s face darkened. When had it been? He was still talking about what he said. “Zhou Jingxu, are you going to die?”
However, Yun Xiao turned around and saw a playful pair of eyes.
She was speechless and couldn’t carry Zhou Jingxu, so she could only shout, “Quick …”
However, just as she spoke, Zhou Jingxu covered her lips and said, “Don’t shout.” When he was talking to Yun Xiao, he was poisoned by someone. This matter was spread out. Not only was Yun Xiao’s reputation powerless, Yun Xiao would also be punished by Father Emperor!
When Yun Xiao saw Zhou Jingxu’s worried eyes, her heart felt slightly warm. She had only just met Zhou Jingxu. In addition to the previous wooden sound, Yun Xiao was able to confirm that Zhou Jingxu had also been reborn like herself.
She was a little warm-hearted and timid. When she heard this news, she was at a loss, and she didn’t know how she should face Zhou Jingxu.
However, when the truth appeared before her, the heavens caught her off guard.
Without giving her a chance to think about it, he brought Zhou Jingxu, who had been injured in order to save her, to him.
Yun Xiao removed Zhou Jingxu’s hand. In her heart, Zhou Jingxu was just a child. “If you don’t call him a doctor now, what about your body?” Now, it wasn’t just a scald, the wound was also poisonous. If it wasn’t cleaned up in time, Yun Xiao didn’t know what the consequences would be like.
Her expression was firm and she had already made up her mind, “I’ll go call the imperial physician.” At worst, she would just be punished. Moreover, Zhou Jingyan would not let her die. As long as she kept her life, she would be satisfied.
However, before she could run forward, Zhou Jingxu grabbed her hand again. “Are you stupid? It really is wood. Go back to Imperial Kitchen and I’ll find the imperial physician myself.”
In this way, she could help Yun Xiao get off the hook.
Yun Xiao’s heart was warm. She had clearly killed him in her previous life! “Jing Xu, I’m sorry, but since it was me who did it, I have to take responsibility for it,” Jin Douzi said as her tears blurred her vision.
She turned around and ran out. She opened her mouth to continue calling out, but before she could make a sound, she suddenly realized that she could no longer make a sound.
His expression stiffened. What was going on? He turned around and saw a man wearing a moon-white robe walking over.
When he saw Yun Xiao’s current situation, he frowned and said, “Stand still.” His voice was no longer as gentle as before, and instead, it was filled with a hint of anger.
When Yun Xiao saw Rong Jin, there was a glimmer of hope in her heart. She had seen Rong Jin’s medical skills with her own eyes. He could even save her, so should he be able to save Zhou Jingxu?
As he thought this, he saw Rong Jin pull out a small porcelain bottle from his cuff and pour out the pills. He handed them to Zhou Jingxu and said, “Swallow them.”
Zhou Jingxu first glanced at Yun Xiao and saw that she nodded and swallowed the pill at hand.
Only then did he have the chance to look at the man standing in front of him. His expression was gentle, his brows were picturesque, his figure was upright, his shoulders were wide, his waist was narrow, and he was handsome. He was a rare man.
However, this figure was truly familiar. It was actually Country of Xiyue’s proton in the Eastern Jin Dynasty?
The line of inquiry looked at Rong Jin and Yun Xiao for a while, and a faint vigilance arose in his heart. For some reason, he always felt that Rong Jin was different from the others in Yun Xiao’s eyes.
At the very least, he was the person Yun Xiao trusted the most.
Thinking of this, his heart felt slightly sour.
In his previous life, he always chased after Yun Xiao. Unfortunately, Yun Xiao always treated him as a child. Moreover, when he saw Yun Xiao, she had already married Third Emperor Brother and was his royal sister-in-law.
Even if he chased after Yun Xiao, she only thought of herself as her uncle, a greedy child.
However, he didn’t want to be that greedy uncle.
In this life, he had finally been reborn. Yun Xiao hadn’t married yet, so he still had a chance.
But looking at his small body, he let out a long sigh.
Would she still dislike that she was just a child?
Ever since he was reborn, he had endured it and never went to see Yun Xiao, in order to properly exercise his body, so that he could grow taller sooner. In Yun Xiao’s eyes, he was not just a child, right?
Not to mention, there was a handsome man like Rong Jin beside her.
However, Zhou Jingxu stood up and was the first to stand in front of Yun Xiao. “What did you do to Yun Xiao? Quickly let her talk!”
Rong Jin sized up the boy who had only reached his chest and saw that his eyes were filled with vigilance. He secretly smiled in his heart, but he didn’t take it to heart. He turned around and wanted to leave without any intention of unlocking Yun Xiao’s acupoints.
Yun Xiao’s face flushed red. She immediately chased after him. She stood in front of Rong Jin and pointed at her throat. Then, she pointed at Zhou Jingxu’s hand. It wasn’t difficult to do half the good deeds. If she wanted to help, she would help them all!
Rong Jin naturally saw what Yun Xiao wanted to say clearly, and his face was ashen. This woman was causing trouble everywhere, wouldn’t she just stay there obediently?
He turned around and continued walking to the side. Seeing this, Yun Xiao moved forward again and blocked Rong Jin’s side.
Zhou Jingxu felt helpless when he saw this. In his previous life, he had grown to seventeen years old. He naturally knew the feelings between men and women. He immediately took a few steps forward and grabbed Yun Xiao’s hand. He looked at Rong Jin demonstratively to swear his sovereignty. “I don’t need his help. Let him go,” he said to Yun Xiao.
Yun Xiao only felt a headache. She had not managed to convince Rong Jin, and Zhou Jingxu was still making trouble for her.
Rong Jin’s medicine was countless times better than the medicine of the imperial physician. With Rong Jin’s medicine, Zhou Jingxu would be able to suffer less and recover faster. How could Zhou Jingxu not understand his thoughts?
He looked anxiously at Rong Jin and pointed at Zhou Jingxu’s hand, asking for his help.
Rong Jin’s gaze was fixed on the hands that Yun Xiao and Zhou Jingxu were holding. His gaze was gloomy, and a trace of anger flashed through his phoenix eyes that were as black as a deep pond. “I was trying to help, but unfortunately, he wasn’t willing to accept help, so you still wanted to stop him?”
Yun Xiao looked at Zhou Jingxu for help. As long as he said something, Rong Jin would make a move. However, Zhou Jingxu turned around and coldly snorted.
The corner of Rong Jin’s mouth slowly rose, but the mockery in his eyes was not concealed.
When Yun Xiao saw Rong Jin turn around and leave, she glared at Zhou Jingxu and hugged Rong Jin again. She stubbornly looked at Rong Jin. Gujing Wubo’s eyes carried traces of provocation, as if she was asking, what exactly are you going to do to help him?
Yun Xiao’s persistence was only for the sake of feeling guilty towards Zhou Jingxu in her previous life and the warmth that Zhou Jingxu gave her. She would never forget that in her previous life, she had married into the royal family. Although Zhou Jingxu would bully her, she was the only one who sincerely treated her.
Moreover, Rong Jin’s medicine definitely wouldn’t leave a scar on Zhou Jingxu’s arm.
Rong Jin looked at Yun Xiao in front of him in order to help other men ask for medicine, and felt a little more irritated in his heart. He also understood Yun Xiao’s determination.
Yun Xiao was secretly curious in her heart. Today was only the first time she had seen Zhou Jingxu, but how could the relationship between the two of them make people feel like they had known each other for a long time?
Not only that, this was the first time Rong Jin had seen Yun Xiao defending the Yun Clan, and the first time he had defended other people who had nothing to do with her?
Thinking of this, Rong Jin was not in a hurry to leave. He took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve pocket and threw it to Yun Xiao. Yun Xiao received the porcelain bottle and a smile appeared on her elegant face. She turned around and walked to Zhou Jingxu’s side.
There was not a single act of gratitude?
