Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 208

Chapter 208 Help Her Get Rid of It
Are you willing to marry into the royal family? A repeat of the tragedy of his previous life?

She, Yun Xiao, did not have such a kind heart.

Gui Chang Palace could already be seen from afar. Eunuch Cai had just seen the figures of this group of people and ran over anxiously. “Ninth Highness, you’re back.”

Only after shouting did he realize that his Highness was lying motionlessly in the arms of a man in a moonlight robe.

She cried out again in surprise, but there was still no reply. Her expression immediately changed and she hurriedly looked at Yun Xiao, “Fourth Young Lady, what happened to my Highness? Why is there blood?”

“Someone, hurry up and call the imperial physician!”

“You, quickly go to the Imperial Study and inform His Majesty that the Ninth Prince is back.”

“You, quickly inform the Empress.”

With Eunuch Cai at the side, the others naturally didn’t dare to neglect him. Furthermore, everyone could see that His Highness the Ninth Prince was injured, so he hurriedly agreed to do his own things.

Rong Jin carried Zhou Jingxu and continued walking into the main hall. Only then did Yun Xiao speak, “Your Highness is locked in the mechanism that you designed. Let’s talk first.”

There were some things that she couldn’t say, so she could only wait for Zhou Jingxu to wake up and let him say it himself.

Very quickly, the group entered Guichang Palace’s dormitory. The three multi-treasure pavilions were filled with all sorts of treasures. The azure curtains fluttered in the wind as the wind blew into the hall. The beds and furniture made of fine yellow pear wood and the green bead curtains made a crisp noise.

When Yun Xiao touched the bead curtain, her palm paused slightly and her eyes darkened slightly.

Rong Jin put Zhou Jingxu down and saw Yun Xiao’s strange appearance at the first glance, “What’s wrong?”

“No, I just didn’t expect that the bead on the bead curtain was actually lamb fat jade, extremely luxurious ah,” the last sentence seemed to come from a very distant sigh.

When Rong Jin came into direct contact with the pearl curtain, he felt that the pearl was not an ordinary object. He didn’t expect it to be a sheep fat jade. This little thing was already so precious, and it was enough to tell that His Highness the Ninth Prince’s pet was glorious.

He did not say anything and continued to stare at Yun Xiao. However, Yun Xiao turned her eyes away and could not see her current expression.

Yun Xiao took two steps forward and walked to the bedside. Looking at Zhou Jingxu’s frowning eyebrows that were still unconscious, a strange look flashed through the depths of her eyes.

In his previous life, Zhou Jingxu had followed her into her bedroom. Emotionally moved by the pearl curtains in her room, “Third Brother really likes Third Sister-in-law, “I’m really jealous that such a precious jade should be used as a pearl curtain for the Third Emperor’s sister-in-law. However, with the pearl curtain made of the jade, even if Third Emperor’s sister-in-law wakes up at night, she doesn’t need to light the lights. It’s said that this jade is excellent. It’s warm in winter and cool in summer. When I get back, I’ll ask Mother Empress to make one for me. I’m afraid that Mother Empress will call me extravagant.”

In her previous life, she didn’t know if Zhou Jingxu had ever made a bead curtain out of sheep fat jade, but in this life, the one hanging in his bedroom was a bead curtain out of sheep fat jade.

Thinking back to her previous life, Yun Xiao’s eyes flashed with an undetectable hatred.

She hated! He had always hated Zhou Jingyan. The beauty of the past was just his hypocritical mask. He was afraid that this was his true face.

Rong Jin looked at Yun Xiao’s back and felt that at this moment, Yun Xiao’s body was filled with the vicissitudes of life, but wasn’t she the fourth young lady of the Yun Clan? What in the world would make her so sad?

Also, His Highness the Ninth Prince was clearly not acquainted with each other, but the scene of them getting along was like a pair of old friends.

How many secrets did he not know about her?

“The imperial physician is here, the imperial physician is here.” Chaotic footsteps entered the hall. Then, the crisp sound of the sheep fat jade came to mind. A young father-in-law walked in with a man with a white beard.

When the imperial physician came in, he was pulled to the bedside by Eunuch Cai. Yun Xiao hurriedly moved aside to let the imperial physician take his pulse.

Now that her mission had been completed, there must be no reason for her to continue staying, right?

Thinking of this, she wanted to leave with Rong Jin, but Eunuch Cai pulled her sleeve and said, “Fourth Miss, you can’t leave.”

Yun Xiao was embarrassed, “Why can’t I leave?”

Eunuch Cai watched Zhou Jingxu grow up and felt heartache when he saw the bloodstains on his body. “Why did my Highness come back like this? Fourth Young Lady won’t let you go without explaining clearly to this servant.”

Yun Xiao sent His Highness the Ninth Prince back. Even if she wasn’t the one who injured His Highness the Ninth Prince, he still had to keep her as a witness for His Highness the Ninth Prince to catch the murderer!

Yun Xiao thought that since she had notified the Jin Emperor, it was fine for her to wait here, so she nodded her head.

To be honest, Yun Xiao was also curious about what had happened after Zhou Jingxu left her.

Very quickly, the imperial physician diagnosed it. His thick eyebrows knitted tightly. Eunuch Cai immediately welcomed it. “Imperial physician, how is my Highness?”

The imperial physician frowned and carefully said, “Your Highness’s body is fine. However, there seems to be more poison in Your Highness’s body. Although it is almost clear, there are still some traces left.” His expression became somewhat stiff.

“Poisoned? Why would my Highness be poisoned?” When Eunuch Cai heard that the poison was poisoned, he became anxious and did not hear what the imperial physician said that the poison had already been cleared.

The imperial physician was pulled by Eunuch Cai, and his expression was a little embarrassed. However, he also knew that Eunuch Cai was a famous person in front of His Highness the Ninth Prince, so he naturally did not have any common knowledge with him. He only said truthfully, “I don’t know about this old man. What surprised me even more is, who gave the antidote to His Highness the Ninth Prince?”

Eunuch Cai didn’t know either, so he could only urge the imperial physician, “Please prescribe some medicine for my Highness first, help His Highness the ninth prince recuperate, and see if you can think of a way to clear the poison.”

The imperial physician received the order and immediately took out a brush, ink, paper, and inkstone and began to write the prescription.

“How did His Highness the ninth prince get poisoned? What kind of poison did he get?”

Yun Xiao turned around and saw that the Jin Emperor had already brought Prince Zhou Jingchen, Third Prince Zhou Jingyan, Country of Xiyue Prince Rong Xun and the fake Rong Jin to the dormitory.

Of course, on the side of the Jin Emperor, there was also the Empress dressed in phoenix robes. When Yun Xiao saw this, she saluted.

The others also knelt down to greet him.

The Jin Emperor waved his hand to let everyone get up. The Empress had already run over and sat on the edge of the bed. Looking at Zhou Jingxu’s pale face, she felt a burst of heartache. “Just who did this to my son? If this palace finds out about him, I must scratch his skin.”

Yun Xiao only stood with Rong Jin and lowered his eyebrows. The Empress had already summoned the imperial physician and Eunuch Cai to inquire about the cause of Zhou Jingxu’s injury, but no one was able to tell.

Seeing this, Yun Xiao knew that she had to explain this matter clearly. Just as she was about to speak, she heard a soft cough coming from the bed. Looking at the edge of the bed, she saw Zhou Jingxu’s tightly frowned face, his brows tightly knitted together, as if he was feeling extremely uncomfortable.

“Cough cough” Seeing that Zhou Jingxu was awake, the Empress had a faint look of joy on her face. She hurriedly helped Zhou Jingxu up and stuffed a large pillow behind him. She patted his back and said softly, “Xu’er, do you feel any more comfortable?”

Zhou Jingxu frowned and looked at the crowd. His last pair of ink jade-like eyes landed on Yun Xiao.

After coughing a few more times, he said, “Mother, don’t worry. I’m much better now, but why did I come back?”

The Jin Emperor also walked forward and hurriedly asked, “Is there anything else uncomfortable? Let the imperial physician treat you first before speaking.”

Zhou Jingxu shook his head. He was much better now. Those skin wounds weren’t a problem at all. “It’s fine. How did I get out of the ancient tree?”

The Jin Emperor immediately looked at Yun Xiao, his resolute eyes tightly wrinkled together, with a hint of surprise, “She found you.”

Yun Xiao lowered her head even more fiercely. Especially, she could feel a burning gaze coming from the bed, which made her somewhat unable to resist. However, this gaze only disappeared in a short period of time. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhou Jingxu coughed softly, concealing the joy that flashed in his heart. Then, he said, “How did you know I was in the ancient tree?” No matter what, since Yun Xiao could remember the ancient tree, wasn’t it different from her previous life?

However, when he thought of his own death in his previous life, he felt a little annoyed.

Yun Xiao could only repeat the reason why she had deceived Eunuch Wei earlier. Anyway, no one knew about her dream. Even if it was a bit strange, what harm would it do?

Everyone was shocked by these words, their eyes filled with surprise.

After Zhou Jingxu interrupted him, the Jin Emperor ignored his injuries. Coincidentally, Zhou Jingyan coughed again, revealing the scald on his left arm. Although he had already been treated briefly, looking at it now still made people feel numb.

The Jin Emperor hurriedly asked, “Xu’er, what happened to the wound on your hand?”

The Empress naturally saw it at this moment, and her delicate expression changed drastically, “Xu’er, quickly tell me, who burned you?”

Zhou Jingxu first glanced at Yun Xiao, She turned her face away, as if she was a troubled child. “I had originally found Yun Xiao to cook for me. After saying a few words outside, I left. Who would have thought that a father-in-law would have accidentally rushed over with a bowl of soup in his hand. If I hadn’t dodged in time, it wouldn’t have been just an arm now.”

The Empress inhaled a breath of cold air when she heard this, and her expression became even more embarrassed. “How could this be? Did Xu’er see clearly what that father-in-law looked like?”

Zhou Jingxu shook his head. “The father-in-law splashed me, He was immediately frightened away, I didn ‘t see it clearly, It just so happened that the four ladies of Yun Clan had returned, Seeing me get hurt, Seeing that the soup was poisonous, He gave me the only antidote he had, She doesn’t know where my bedroom is, Plus, it’s close to where she lives, she carried me to her dwelling in the palace, Coincidentally, he ran into Country of Xiyue’s eldest prince on the way, He asked him to carry me back, After treating the wound, I went out, Who knew how far he hadn’t gone, I noticed that someone was following me, so I took that person in circles. In the end, the black-clothed man was impatient and wanted to kill me. Fortunately, I was alert. As I passed through the Imperial Garden, I thought of the ancient tree and fought the black-clothed man a few times before hiding in the ancient tree. The black-clothed man wanted to enter the ancient tree, but could not. In the end, he left and I fainted. ”

When he said this, he completely ignored all of Yun Xiao’s responsibilities.

After Zhou Jingxu finished speaking, he warned Yun Xiao not to speak nonsense.

“Who is that black-clothed man? Why would he kill you?” When the Empress thought of Zhou Jingxu being chased after by someone, she was so frightened that her heart trembled.

Zhou Jingxu’s pale face nodded as if he was serious, “I don’t know either. However, I think that person’s body looks like someone from our Imperial Palace. I’m afraid that someone is stirring up trouble in the Imperial Palace.”
