Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 207

Chapter 207 True and False Rong Jin
Rong Jin wore a moonlight white robe and stood under an ancient tree. He stood tall and straight, his face like jade and snow like an immortal.

He looked around the ancient tree and saw that everyone had fainted. No one came over from afar. Then he said loudly, “Come out!”

Yun Xiao turned around from behind the bushes with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth. She first looked at the people who had all fallen, then looked at Concubine Hua. To be more precise, she said that her gaze had always been on the jade hairpin in Concubine Hua’s hand.

Eunuch Wei also emerged from the bushes and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. It had to be said that Yun Xiao’s courage was truly great. She actually knocked Imperial Concubine Hua unconscious.

However, Eunuch Wei’s expression fell on the man dressed in a long moon-white robe. A faint light fell on his body through the mottled tree shadows, adding a wisp of an immortal-like expression. “Thank you, Young Master Rong.”

Rong Jin only calmly nodded his head and said, “Hurry up and look for what you’re looking for. Footsteps have already been heard from over there.” Stunning Concubine Hua is not a small crime. Of course, it would be most appropriate to leave before others discover it.

Only then did Eunuch Wei look at Yun Xiao who was walking in front of Imperial Concubine Hua and said flatteringly, “Fourth Young Lady, did you find the jade hairpin we wanted?”

Yun Xiao nodded and took out the jade hairpin from Hua Fei’s hand. However, when Yun Xiao placed the jade hairpin on the shape of a hairpin in an ancient tree, her brows knitted slightly. Obviously, she could not put it in.

He frowned and thought for a long time. Eunuch Wei also felt embarrassed. Could it be that the jade hairpin that he had obtained with great difficulty could not open the mechanism of the ancient tree?

“Fourth Young Lady, did you take the wrong jade hairpin?”

Yun Xiao shook her head. She was very sure that it was this jade hairpin. She had seen it in her previous life, but why couldn’t she put it in?

After groping around on the hairpin for a while, she suddenly heard a “ka” sound and the jade hairpin broke into two.

Eunuch Wei’s face turned pale, “Fourth Young Lady, Imperial Concubine Hua’s jade hairpin is broken. How can we return it?”

Yun Xiao’s hand also twitched slightly. Obviously, she hadn’t used her strength yet. She only lightly touched it. Who knew that it would shatter like this? “Let’s see if we can put it together first. If not, we can only replace the broken jade hairpin.”

As she spoke, she checked to see if there was any way to connect the broken joints.

As his hand brushed past the broken section, he noticed a nearly undetectable origin.

Yun Xiao’s heart gradually became puzzled, Touch the origin, He saw the originally flawless side, Suddenly, a small mechanism was opened. The jade door opened, and Yun Xiao’s eyes lit up. Yun Xiao saw an extremely thin jade hairpin appear in the small cave inside. The jade hairpin had a full body of jade and was in the shape of a winding dragon. At the dragon’s mouth, it swallowed a small luminous pearl. The luminous pearl was very small and emitted a faint halo.

This design is really clever.

Yun Xiao now understood Zhou Jingxu’s thoughts. No one would have thought that a jade hairpin would have such a clever design.

However, if this design was made by the jewelry designer, he wouldn’t not tell Concubine Hua.

Imperial Concubine Hua did not know that there was such an important item inside. In other words, this design was probably something that Zhou Jingxu had secretly taken away from the jade hairpin and found someone to design.

Yun Xiao only felt a headache. She was clearly just an older child, yet she had such an exquisite design. Everyone said that Hui Ji was bound to be injured, so she was somewhat worried.

Moreover, this was just a jade hairpin that could be transformed into this appearance by him. Even she wanted to praise it.

However, if he wanted to change the jewelry, he could obviously buy a hairpin himself, but in the end, he insisted on testing his effectiveness on his enemies.

Yun Xiao didn’t have time to sigh so much at this moment, so she hurriedly took out the small jade hairpin and placed it at the opening of the mechanism, just in time to nest it.

The corner of Yun Xiao’s mouth curled into a faint smile. She lifted the corner of her mouth and heard a “ka” sound.

Yun Xiao raised her head and looked at the ancient tree. Sure enough, she saw a small door that only allowed one person to pass through on the branch directly above the ancient tree.

He heard Eunuch Wei beside him happily say, “Fourth Young Lady, there really is a small door here. Look!”

Yun Xiao nodded in agreement, didn’t she?

However, at such a high distance, she would definitely not be able to enter. “Young Master Rong, can you do me a favor? Go into the ancient tree and see if there is anyone inside. If there is someone, how about bringing him out?”

Rong Jin turned to look at Yun Xiao’s eyes, which flickered with a faint glow. The faint hope in those eyes made people unable to bear to refuse. He nodded and flew to the tree on his body, but it only took a moment for him to disappear.

Yun Xiao and Eunuch Wei waited under the tree together, but their line of sight had always been on this thousand-year-old tree.

Eunuch Wei said nervously, “Fourth Young Lady, do you really think His Highness the Ninth Prince will be here?” If he wasn’t here, wouldn’t today’s effort be in vain? Moreover, he didn’t know where to find it.

Yun Xiaoyun’s embroidered hands were tightly clenched together, and the corner of her mouth raised, “It will definitely be here.” However, when she thought of the scald on Zhou Jingxu’s arm, Yun Xiao was somewhat worried. She wondered how her injury was now?

Eunuch Wei also hoped that His Highness the Ninth Prince would be here. However, “Fourth Young Lady knows about this place. Did His Highness the Ninth Prince tell you?”

The corner of Yun Xiao’s mouth curled into a smile. The number of times she had entered the palace in this life was countless. As long as she did a little research, she would discover that she had only met His Highness the Ninth Prince today. How could His Highness the Ninth Prince tell such an important place to someone she had just met?

“No, I dreamt about this place. I don’t know why, but I once dreamt about myself entering the palace and meeting His Highness the Ninth Prince. Then, I saw the Nine Halls descend from this ancient tree.”

This reason was too powerful! Eunuch Wei was so shocked that he couldn’t get back to his senses.

Dreaming of the palace? Wasn’t the dreams of these four girls too real?

However, although this reason was hard to believe, it was the most reasonable explanation.

If not in a dream, how would he know such a place? Would he be so familiar with the imperial palace?

“Since that’s the case, what else did Fourth Young Lady see in her dream?”

‘”Nobody, I just watched it for a while.” Wasn’t it just watching it for a while? In her previous life, although she had come to the Imperial Palace, she had always come and left in a hurry. She really had never strolled around the Imperial Garden properly.

Seeing this, Eunuch Wei no longer asked.

It was only because Rong Jin had already walked out of the ancient tree with a man dressed in a moonlight white robe.

The two men who appeared out of thin air from the ancient tree were dressed in moon-white robes that looked like immortal paintings. However, if they could ignore the bloody traces on Zhou Jingxu’s arm and the blooming plum blossom-like blood stains that had already been lit by a star at the corner of their robes, it would be even better.

Yun Xiao hurriedly walked forward and looked at Zhou Jingxu’s pale face. Her heart twitched slightly, “How is he?”

Seeing Yun Xiao’s undisguised anxiety, Rong Jin was surprised. When did Yun Xiao become so familiar with the Ninth Prince? Would she care so much about a person’s injuries?

His gaze fell on Zhou Jingxu. What kind of person are you?

However, no one could answer him.

He shook his head and said, “It’s just some superficial wounds. It’ll be healed after a good bandage and a few days of rest.”

“That’s good!” Eunuch Wei hurriedly said, tears rolling down his cheeks.

“Eunuch Wei, shall we send His Highness the Ninth Prince to his bedroom first? Go report to His Majesty that you have found His Highness the Ninth Prince.” As for Concubine Hua, who was still asleep on the ground, everyone had already ignored her.

Eunuch Wei immediately answered and hurriedly ran towards the imperial study.

He wasn’t worried about Zhou Jingxu’s safety. If Yunxiao really wanted to harm Zhou Jingxu, she wouldn’t have found out about him. As for the truth of the matter, as long as His Highness the Ninth Prince woke up, he would know.

As soon as Eunuch Wei left, Yun Xiao brought Rong Jin to Zhou Jingxu’s bedroom. She finally found an opportunity to talk to Rong Jin, “How did you get out of the Imperial Study?”

When she and Eunuch Wei walked out of the Imperial Study, they had said that no one was allowed to enter or leave the study.

Rong Jin cast a sidelong glance at Yun Xiao, and the corner of his mouth slightly rose. He was in a very good mood, “When did I enter the Imperial Study?”

Yun Xiao was embarrassed and her expression suddenly became embarrassed. She actually didn’t realize that before entering the Imperial Study, Zhenrong Jin and Fake Rong Jin had already been changed? “Then how did the fake one get into the palace?”

“Emperor, summon Shopkeeper Rong. How did you get in?” Rong Jin smiled and narrowed his eyes. He looked at the man he was hugging with disgust.

His tone was light and weightless, but Yun Xiao’s heart trembled.

The Jin Emperor summoned Rong Jin?

A few days later was the day for the merchants to compete for the throne. Could it be that he was intentionally cooperating with Rong Jin?

If that was the case, Yun Xiao would let out a sigh of relief.

At the very least, it was good to be able to divert the attention of the Jin Emperor.

Seeing Yun Xiao’s relaxed tone, Rong Jin rolled his eyes and continued, “You’re wrong. The Jin Emperor doesn’t want to cooperate with me.”

Yun Xiao’s heart, which had just landed on her own, tightly lifted up again, “If I don’t want to cooperate with you, why would I summon you?”

“The Jin Emperor just wants to find some resistance for Yun Xiao, and I am the biggest stumbling block,” Rong Jin said calmly.

With a stumbling block, the price given by the Yun Clan would definitely be reduced by ten percent. When Yun Xiao thought of this, her expression became somewhat ugly. Although being an emperor merchant seemed to be glorious, in fact, she could not earn much. After a few rounds of circulation, the money that came to the Yun Clan could only retain one cost.

Yun Xiao’s long-term viability was mostly due to the Yun Clan’s large number of industries. The Yun Clan’s industries were spread throughout the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Those restaurants, real estate, jewelry shops, cloth arts, and other fields earned more money to fill this vacancy.

Now, the Jin Emperor still wanted to lower the price?

Yun Xiao rolled her eyes. She did not want to cooperate with the royal family at all now.

However, when Rong Jin saw that Yun Xiao did not say anything, he threw out another sentence, causing Yun Xiao to be slightly stunned. “The Jin Emperor intends to let you marry one of the princes. In addition to the fact that the Third Prince once said that he wants to marry you as his imperial concubine, Yun Clan’s status in the capital will meet its head.”

With a prince’s daughter, the status of the Yun Clan was different from before. In addition to the huge wealth of the Yun Clan, there must be a lot of people who were eager to curry favor with the Yun Clan.

The Yun Clan had a strong position, so they could only suppress the Yun Clan in other places. What the Yun Clan had was commerce, so they had to work hard on it. The Jin Emperor really had a deep plan!

Just as Yun Xiao was thinking about these things, she heard Rong Jin continue, “Are you really willing to marry into the royal family?”
