Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 222
Chapter 222 Immortal Seeking Grass
Yun Xiao frowned, because she had already seen the Jin Emperor’s gloomy expression, as if he was about to get angry. She already knew in her heart that Rong Jin’s request today would probably not be received.
Turning around, he gave Rong Jin a look. If one of the things that happened today was not settled properly, it would probably bring disaster to Rong Jin.
However, Rong Jin turned a blind eye to Yun Xiao’s gaze. He still looked at the Jin Emperor with a determined expression, as if he wanted to ask the Jin Emperor for an idea.
A trace of frustration arose in Yun Xiao’s heart. However, she believed that Rong Jin naturally knew how to handle things properly. Only then did she let out a sigh of relief.
No matter what, in order to get what he wanted, he naturally had to fight. If he knew that there was a difficulty, he had to give up. He was no longer the Rong Jin he knew.
Right now, he could only wait and see how it turned out.
He quietly sized up the expressions of everyone in Gaotang Palace and stopped on the man wearing the ebony ghost mask.
Although his body did not move and was covered by the ebony ghost mask, she could still sense a trace of throbbing and nervousness on Rong Xun’s body.
Could it be that the Divine Immortal Grass Rong Jin requested was for Rong Xun?
She raised her head. He lowered his head and looked at each other with four eyes. Yun Xiao read a message in her pair of faint amber eyes to protect Rong Jin.
Could it be that after becoming this divine immortal herb, the Jin Emperor would really randomly kill Rong Jin?
He turned around and looked at the Jin Emperor. His expression was inexplicable, with traces of embarrassment. His pair of sharp eyes landed on Rong Jin like a mixture of cold light. Even Yun Xiao could feel the anger of the Jin Emperor.
What on earth would cause the Jin Emperor to lose his temper?
Yun Xiao didn’t know, and she also knew that no one would tell her, especially right now.
“May I know why Young Master Rong wants that divine immortal herb?” When the Jin Emperor sized him up, he looked at Rong Jin without blinking his eyes. His expression was gloomy, and his sharp eyes carried traces of inquiry and sharpness. Jun Wei circulated within the Gaotang Palace, as if he wanted to know what Rong Jin really thought in his heart.
This divine immortal herb was usually useless, but it was an extremely important thing to Xi Yue. Over the years, Xi Yue had become more and more powerful. He could only control Xi Yue through the divine immortal herb. If the divine immortal herb fell into other people’s hands, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Rong Jin casually cupped his hands and signaled, He said respectfully, “I am a merchant, The merchant valued profit, Recently, I got a new prescription that can extend my lifespan, The doctor at Rong’s Pharmacy was working on the prescription. It took three months to find the ingredients. “Of the remaining medicinal ingredients, only one is missing. This medicinal ingredient is called Evergreen Grass. However, this medicinal herb has already disappeared. I searched for three months but failed. In the end, I saw in the medical book that the medicinal effects of Evergreen Grass are similar to those of Immortal Grass. Therefore, I was wondering if I could use Immortal Grass instead of Evergreen Grass as a medicinal ingredient.”
His voice was gentle, However, Yun Xiao widened her eyes. She had indeed given Rong Jin a prescription not long ago. That prescription was indeed a good medicine for prolonging life. There were a few precious medicinal ingredients inside. No matter how precious they were, they did not have three months to prepare medicinal ingredients. Not to mention, the prescription given to Rong Jin did not have any evergreen herbs or immortal herbs.
However, since he had used this reason, he must have considered it carefully.
Yun Xiao thought for a moment, but in the end, she still did not expose the lies in Rong Jin’s words.
What he said was reasonable, but everyone felt that something was wrong. As for what was wrong, no one could say it.
Hearing this, the Jin Emperor’s eyes lit up. His gaze darkened. The medicine for prolonging one’s life was indeed good. Unfortunately, it was still unknown if it could be successfully developed. However, the Divine Immortal Grass was a matter of great importance between the two countries. There was no room for carelessness.
He looked at Rong Jin with an inexplicable expression. A harsh expression flashed in his eyes. He sized Rong Jin up for a while before finally saying, “Where is that prescription?”
“The prescription is too precious. I spent 100,000 taels of silver to buy it, so I didn’t bring it with me.”
The Jin Emperor nodded. However, he couldn’t help but take a deep breath. He didn’t expect that Rong Jin would actually use 100,000 taels of silver to buy a prescription. Although the prescription was precious, However, no one knew if Rong Jin could really develop a medicine. Moreover, even if he succeeded in developing a pill, he had to say something else. Rong Jin actually paid 100,000 taels of silver directly. He didn’t know if Rong Jin’s heroic bearing was extraordinary or if Rong Jin’s eyes were as bright as torches, knowing people, and he was sure that the prescription was real.
However, this kind of courage was not something an ordinary person would possess.
While everyone was jealous, they couldn’t help but feel envious in their hearts.
Since he was willing to take out so much money, it could only mean that he was not lacking in money, money, and willfulness!
“Since I didn’t bring the prescription with me, there’s no harm in discussing this matter later!” The Jin Emperor made a final decision. When he said this, his gaze seemed to fall on Rong Xun.
The person who wanted immortal herbs the most was none other than the Crown Prince of West Yue, Rong Xun, and the proton of West Yue.
However, when the two of them heard about the divine immortal herb, their eyes darkened slightly, and they immediately lost their expressions.
After singing and dancing, the banquet finally came to an end.
Yun Xiao followed everyone out of the hall, followed by Zhou Feilan, who was chattering nonstop, and Zhou Jingxu, who was full of smiles.
Zhou Feilan and Zhou Jingxu were just like in their previous lives. As long as they saw each other, they would naturally have a quarrel.
The two of them quarreled for a while. Suddenly, they discovered that Yun Xiao, who was directly related to this moment, had been divine wandering all this time. It was as if they hadn’t heard their voices at all.
Zhou Jingxu immediately pulled Yun Xiao’s sleeve and said, “Wood, what are you thinking?”
Yun Xiao came back to her senses and looked at Zhou Jingxu’s worried face. She smiled and said, “I’m fine, you don’t need to worry.”
Zhou Feilan’s exquisite eyes scanned the two of them for a moment before asking curiously, “Fourth sister, are you really unwilling to marry into the royal family?” In front of civil and military officials, Yun Xiao was the only woman who dared to say that she was unwilling to marry into the royal family, which made Zhou Feilan’s favorable impression of her multiply.
“Of course it’s true.” If he hadn’t married into the royal family, how could he have caused so much trouble?
When Zhou Jingxu heard Yun Xiao’s words, his jade-like eyes froze. He put down the hand that had been pulling Yun Xiao’s sleeve awkwardly,
“But why aren’t you willing to marry into the royal family? To marry into the royal family, the scenery is boundless, and it can even shine brightly.” To the Yun Family, it had always been the title of Emperor Merchant, but there was no official in the dynasty. Therefore, the Yun Family was still low among the nobles. Marrying into the royal family could raise the status of the Yun Clan in the capital by one level.
She did not know why Yun Xiao was unwilling to marry into the royal family.
The corner of Yun Xiao’s mouth slowly hooked into a sneer. “Sometimes, Things weren’t as simple as they seemed, “The scenery on the surface is boundless, and no one knows what is inside. Besides, the wealth of the Yun Family is enough to ensure the safety of the Yun Family. Once they marry into the royal family, the Yun Family will definitely become the target of public criticism. Naturally, they will be involved in disputes. No matter how great the wealth is, they cannot guarantee the safety of our Yun Family. I only wish our family a peaceful life and a pair of ordinary people!” As for the people of the royal family, which one of them wasn’t three wives and four concubines?
In her previous life, she and Zhou Jingyan raised their eyebrows together, playing the zither and singing harmoniously, but Zhou Jingyan used the Yun Clan’s enormous wealth, and finally abandoned the Yun Clan like an old shoe, beheading it and showing it to the public!
Zhou Feilan frowned when she heard this. She did not expect Yun Xiao to look so far into the future.
“Fourth sister has a good opinion. No matter how wealthy she is, she doesn’t have a life to enjoy. However, she made a wedding dress for others.” In the Gaotang Palace today, Yun Xiao’s plan to help Cao Bingrong solve the case was deeply imprinted in Zhou Feilan’s mind. She always felt that it was a pity that a woman like Yun Xiao didn’t marry into the royal family.
However, after hearing Yun Xiao’s opinion, Zhou Feilan had completely changed her view.
Yun Xiao’s words were also heard by Cao Bingrong and Zhou Jingyan, who walked out of the gates of Gaotang Palace.
Cao Bingrong looked at Yun Xiao with an indifferent expression, then turned around and left.
Zhou Jingyan walked over naturally with a calm expression, as if he really didn’t hear what Yun Xiao had said before, “What are you guys talking about? Why are you talking so loudly?”
Yun Xiao only smiled faintly and saluted, “Third Highness.”
Zhou Feilan didn’t know about Zhou Jingyan and Yun Xiao, and her elegant little face had a smile on it. “We’re talking about why Fourth Sister isn’t willing to marry into the royal family.”
Yun Xiao had a headache, she really didn’t know how to turn things around!
Zhou Jingxu snorted coldly and said loudly, “Third Brother, are you alright? If you’re alright, then we’ll leave first. We still need the fourth girl to cook for us.”
Speaking of food, Zhou Feilan’s eyes lit up. He couldn’t wait to leave, “Yeah, let’s hurry up and go to Imperial Kitchen. I must be full today. However, it’s a pity that I can’t try Young Master Rong’s food today. If I can taste the food cooked by Fourth Sister and Young Master Rong at the same time, then it will be a blessing. However, having Fourth Sister alone is not bad. Let’s go quickly.”
Yun Xiao never thought that the noisy Princess Fei Lan would be so pleasing at that moment. “Alright, I’ll cook some food for you today. When I can leave the palace, I’ll help you beg Young Master Rong to cook a table for us.”
When Zhou Feilan heard this, her eyes lit up and she hurriedly nodded, “It’s really great.”
However, Zhou Jingxu was somewhat dissatisfied. Although Rong Jin’s food was not bad, he still liked Yun Xiao’s food more.
Moreover, he didn’t like Rong Jin, and he didn’t even like the things he made.
Of course, he didn’t like Yun Xiao and Zhou Jingyan standing together. “Alright, let’s go first. Third Brother, you should go back as soon as possible.” He didn’t have the slightest intention of inviting Yun Xiao and Zhou Jingyan to leave together.
Yun Xiao was secretly delighted and secretly nodded her head. However, before she could step out, she heard the man behind her loudly say, “Fourth Young Lady, please wait a moment. Can you lend me a word?”
Yun Xiao frowned. She had nothing to say to Zhou Jingyan.
Just as she was thinking about how to refuse, she saw Eunuch Wei rushing over and greeting everyone respectfully. “Fourth young miss, this servant has received the Emperor’s decree to ask you to go to the Imperial Study.”
Yun Xiao naturally agreed. She turned around and whispered to the gloomy Zhou Jingyan, “Third Highness, His Majesty has summoned the maiden first.”
