Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 204

Chapter 204 A Request
Zhou Jingxu did not disappoint Yun Xiao and left. The wounds on his arm were not healed, so he left.

Looking at Zhou Jingxu’s desolate figure, Yun Xiao felt her heart twitch.

It hurts so much that it hurts my heart!

However, Yun Xiao chuckled lightly. Her expression was indifferent, and the corner of her mouth curled up slightly. Only then did she say, “This is good.” At this moment, the pain was also for Zhou Jingxu’s good.

Of course, before Zhou Jingxu left, Yun Xiao reminded him to be careful of Zhou Jingyan.

Since Zhou Jingxu had memories of his previous life, Yun Xiao felt that he would definitely be able to avoid the calamities of his previous life.

When Rong Jin walked in, he saw Yun Xiao with a resolute and sad expression, “What happened today?”

Yun Xiao naturally knew what he was asking, but there was a faint estrangement at the corner of her mouth. “I can handle today’s matter.”

Seeing that he didn’t say anything, Rong Jin didn’t force him, “If you need anything, you can find me.” The simple eight words had already implied a promise.

Yun Xiao’s mind trembled, but then a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, “Alright, you’ve disappeared for so long, are you going back?” This was also an indirect expulsion order.

“Aren’t you going to tell me what happened to His Highness the Ninth Prince?” Rong Jin had no intention of leaving. He took out a cup of tea and poured himself a cup of tea.

Yun Xiao’s eyes darkened slightly. “His Highness the Ninth Prince is naturally the Jin Emperor’s favorite son. He is the one who took the lead in the food evaluation in Imperial Kitchen this time.”

Rong Jin naturally knew what she said. What he wanted to know was not these simple things. It was just that Yun Xiao was unwilling to say it, and he did not force it.

The two of them sat looking at each other and did not say anything. After a long time, they heard footsteps coming from outside the door. The footsteps were very urgent and attracted Yun Xiao’s attention.

As soon as Chun Lan entered, she immediately said, “Miss, something happened.”

“Oh? What happened?” Yun Xiao pretended to be calm. Now that she heard these words, her heart skipped a beat.

Seeing Yun Xiao’s unnatural expression, Chun Lan realized that there were other people in the room. She immediately coughed dryly. She didn’t know whether to say it or not, but thinking about how Young Master Rong had helped her family’s girl a lot, with him around, she felt more at ease. “Young lady, His Highness the Ninth Prince has disappeared. Jin Emperor’s decree girl will go to the Imperial Study.”

Because someone in Imperial Kitchen saw that Yun Xiao was going out with Jing Xu from the Nine Palaces. Now that His Highness the Ninth Prince was not here, the accusation naturally fell on Yun Xiao.

Disappear? How did it disappear? Didn’t Zhou Jingxu just leave?

Yun Xiao looked at Chun Lan in surprise, “What did you hear?”

Chun Lan began to pour out some beans. She was originally preparing food in the room, but suddenly, a group of elders came in and said that His Highness the Ninth Prince had disappeared. Then, she saw a bowl of poisonous soup at the corner of the Imperial Cuisine Room.

This bowl of soup was especially the soup that Yun Xiao had prepared for the Jin Emperor at noon today.

The Jin Emperor’s expression changed drastically. He issued a decree to capture Yun Xiao. She took advantage of the chaos in Imperial Kitchen and secretly ran out. She wanted to try her luck and see if she could find her family’s girl, but she didn’t expect that Yun Xiao was really here.

Hearing that, Yun Xiao’s expression became a little more cautious.

The poison in her own soup before the cooking competition was extremely disadvantageous to her. If it weren’t for the food given to the Jin Emperor, and if there was a father-in-law to test the dishes and no poison, she would probably not have been captured right now, but directly dragged into prison.

Who was it? You want to kill yourself?

A person suddenly appeared in Yun Xiao’s mind. In today’s cooking preliminaries, Chef Lu Yu had lost all face. Perhaps it was him who wanted to frame him and disqualify him from the cooking competition.

Of course, county princess Hui Ning and the others could not be ruled out. After all, they also had influence in the palace. It was easy to make a mistake and die by themselves.

Seeing that Yun Xiao didn’t say anything, Chun Lan’s forehead was covered in cold sweat. “Miss? What should we do now?” There were so many things that had happened in the imperial palace just a day ago. Chun Lan’s heart couldn’t bear it anymore, and she started to crazily want to go back to the Yun Clan.

Just as Chun Lan finished speaking, a series of messy footsteps sounded from outside. It seemed that there were many people who wanted to catch her, and she was flattered.

However, Yun Xiao turned her head and felt that the man beside her was really troublesome. The appearance of the Eastern Jin Prince in her room confirmed the charge of colluding with the enemy to murder the Jin Emperor.

“Can you avoid it first?”

Rong Jin calmly curled his lips at Yun Xiao. The corner of his mouth slowly rose, bringing with it a trace of mockery. “I believe that even if I don’t leave, the fourth young miss will be able to handle today’s matter.”

Since he said that, he was unwilling to leave.

Coincidentally, the sound of footsteps had already approached.

The door was opened with a “bang”. Because the strength was too great, the two doors were bounced back and trembled in the air after hitting the wall.

Yun Xiao chuckled as she looked at the people who had come. Her goal was to have a familiar face. Yun Xiao already had an idea in her heart. Chef Lu could not wait for his disciple to come. Obviously, this matter had something to do with him.

As soon as the person came in, he shouted angrily, “Yunxiao, for the Emperor to take such a fancy to you, you actually poisoned His Highness the ninth prince’s meal. You are truly wolf ambitious!”

Yun Xiao’s lips curled into a sinister smile, and she said bluntly, “You said that I poisoned you? When will you wait for you to do Emperor, and then come and point fingers at me!”

The little chef’s expression changed drastically. “Don’t talk nonsense!” If these words were to spread out, his life would be lost.

On the contrary, Eunuch Wei glared at that person and respectfully greeted Rong Jin. He sized them up and searched them. “This servant greets the First Prince.” When Rong Jin asked him to get up, Eunuch Wei said, “I wonder why the First Prince is here?”

The prince of Xi Yue appeared in the Imperial Cuisine Room and in the room of a person who cooked for the Emperor.

Eunuch Wei’s sharp eyes flashed with a streak of light.

Rong Jin didn’t seem to notice that Eunuch Wei’s expression had turned cold. He smiled and said, “I’m here because of His Highness the Ninth Prince.”

Although Eunuch Wei was still respectful, there was a trace of coldness on his face. “Since that’s the case, I hope that the Eldest Prince and this servant can go see the Jin Emperor together.”

Yun Xiao naturally understood. She stood up from her chair and patted the dust off her clothes. Then she said, “Alright, there are some things that need to be explained clearly in person.”

Her calmness caught the others off guard.

The group of people quickly arrived at the Imperial Study Room. Eunuch Wei informed them that Yun Xiao and the others quickly walked in.

After entering the Imperial Cuisine Room, Yun Xiao first sized up the room. The Jin Emperor who was sitting on the Imperial Table had an angry expression on his face. Zhou Jingyan and Zhou Jingchen were sitting below. On the floor of the Imperial Cuisine Room, Chef Lu was kneeling respectfully.

When Yun Xiao saw this, the corner of her mouth curled into a sneer. She saluted, “The maiden greets the Emperor.”

“Get up!” Jin Huang’s sharp eyes were on Rong Jin and Yun Xiao for a moment. He then gave Zhou Jingyan a meaningful look. If it weren’t for Zhou Jingyan wanting to marry her and Rong Jin standing beside her, she wouldn’t be as simple as standing here right now.

Of course, he felt that something was amiss in his heart.

After hearing Chef Lu’s words, he did suspect that it was Yun Xiao who did it, but at this moment, he suddenly felt that he wanted to hear her explanation.

Yun Xiao naturally knew what kind of person the Jin Emperor was. The more nervous she was, the more people would think that she was the murderer.

She was calm and composed, but it could make the Jin Emperor feel less wary of her.

Yun Xiao closed her eyes. When she opened them again, a ray of light flashed in Gujing Wubo’s eyes. “The maiden knows where His Highness the ninth prince is!”

Her voice was gentle but loud, smashing into everyone’s hearts like jade.

The Jin Emperor’s expression was already slightly surprised. He had just returned to normal after a moment of inquiry. He had some admiration for Yun Xiao in his heart. She was a smart woman. She knew what was the most important thing, not to rush to get off the hook.

Only by finding the whereabouts of the Ninth Prince would everything be resolved.

However, he had already sent someone to turn the palace upside down, but he still couldn’t find Zhou Jingxu. Yun Xiao had only come to the palace for a night, so how could she know where Zhou Jingxu was?

Originally, Imperial Chef Lu, who was kneeling, did not expect Yun Xiao to say this. He was immediately stunned. Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was becoming more and more cold, with traces of inquiry, of course, he noticed that the expressions of everyone looking at Yun Xiao had changed. “What nonsense are you talking about?” In this palace, you don’t even know the way. Do you know where His Highness the ninth prince is? Or was it you who kidnapped His Highness the ninth prince? ”

Only those who had truly kidnapped His Highness the Ninth Prince would know where His Highness the Ninth Prince was now.

How could Yun Xiao not see that Imperial Chef Lu was digging a trap for her? However, he had to see if he was far from willing to jump in! “What Imperial Chef Lu said makes sense.”

Everyone looked at Yun Xiao. They didn’t understand why she didn’t defend herself, but they still admitted calmly, was this brain really in water?

However, Yun Xiao calmly looked at the Jin Emperor with firm eyes. “Your Majesty, the commoner has a request.”

“Speak!” The Jin Emperor was indeed worried about Zhou Jingxu’s safety, but now he was more curious about Yun Xiao.

“Since Emperor suspects that the woman kidnapped His Highness the ninth prince, The maiden naturally had nothing to say, The maiden brought only one maidservant into the palace. Trying to kidnap a prince, It was a little difficult, Compared to a maiden who had just entered the palace, “I’m afraid the people here are more suspicious than the maids. The maids dared to ask Emperor to send a decree asking Eunuch Wei to go with the maids to find His Highness the ninth prince. At this moment, the people in the Imperial Study are strictly forbidden from entering and leaving, and Imperial Kitchen is also forbidden from entering.”

Everyone remembered that what she said was also the truth. How could a person who had just entered the palace and had no influence kidnap His Highness the Ninth Prince?

But now, all the evidence was pointing to Yun Xiao as the murderer.

The Jin Emperor secretly nodded. With Yun Xiao’s courage, none of his daughters could compare to him!

He was calm, respectful, neither humble nor arrogant. He didn’t say a single word of accusation, but he was accusing everyone!

Moreover, Eunuch Wei had been by his side for many years. With him by his side, Yun Xiao would not do anything. Even if she nodded, “Yes!”

Yun Xiao bowed and thanked him. When she raised her head, her gaze couldn’t help but fall on the calm Zhou Jingyan.

Zhou Jingyan’s eyes were filled with a smile but not a smile. The undisguised provocation and disgust in his eyes caused Zhou Jingyan to feel even more astonished, and his expression turned ugly in an instant.

She couldn’t help but wonder, could Yunxiao really find Zhou Jingxu?

However, when he looked over, he only saw Yun Xiao saluting and taking her leave. What lingered in his mind was a wicked smile that flashed across the corner of Yun Xiao’s mouth.
