Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 229

Chapter 229 Dangers Loomed Over Them

The three people in the room were shocked. They never thought that someone would come at this time. If this person wanted to kill them, it would naturally be incomparably easy. Therefore, their expressions became even more embarrassing.

Among them, Yun Xiao and Chun Lan, who had just experienced an assassination, were even more so!

Under the gazes of the three of them, they saw a man walk in. The man was dressed in a pale green robe, and the eagle wings were embroidered on the robe with golden threads. As the man moved, the eagle wings seemed to be alive and ready to fly.

Looking up again, he was wearing a raincoat. However, at this moment, this raincoat could no longer be called a raincoat.

As for why? Naturally, it was because of this raincoat that holes were everywhere due to the hail. The originally exquisite face was now covered with the hat of the raincoat, and no face could be seen.

However, the three of them recalled the voice they had heard before and knew that it was Zhou Jingxu, the ninth son of the current Son of Heaven.

Yun Xiao looked at Zhou Jingxu, who was dressed in a strange shape, and then looked at the endless hail outside. She could already guess that this raincoat must have been damaged by the hail.

As for the concealed face, I’m afraid it’s not optimistic now.

However, Yun Xiao had no intention of mocking him.

It was only because Zhou Jingxu could still think of him and visit him in such a harsh environment that his heart was worth being touched.

Coincidentally, a hail fell from the eaves. As the two hailstones fell together, they suddenly collided with each other. After the collision, the two hailstones did not follow the previous trajectory, but flew to both sides. One of them flew towards Zhou Jingxu.

Yun Xiao only felt a headache. She hurriedly took a step forward and pulled Zhou Jingxu, “Come in quickly.”

However, although Zhou Jingxu looked thin and weak, his body was really good. With this pull, he did not pull Zhou Jingxu in, and the hail happened to hit the back of Yun Xiao’s hand.

Yun Xiao took a deep breath.

It hurts!

The corner of Yun Xiao’s mouth twitched fiercely. Seeing that no hail was flying over behind Zhou Jingxu, she was relieved. However, the sound of the hail landing on the ground still attracted everyone’s attention.

Especially when Zhou Jingxu heard Yun Xiao sucking in a deep breath, he forgot his concealed face. He hurriedly threw away the raincoat hat in his hand and looked at Yun Xiao, “What happened to you? Did you get hit by the hail?”

“It’s fine,” Yun Xiao said as she raised her head. However, when she saw the wounds on Zhou Jingxu’s face, although she tried very hard to suppress herself and didn’t want her to laugh out loud, she still couldn’t hold back and the corner of her mouth violently twitched a few times in the end.

Rong Jin also looked over, and then a faint smile appeared in his eyes.

On the contrary, Chun Lan couldn’t hold back any longer and laughed out loud.

Yun Xiao said dryly, “How did you get smashed like this?”

At this moment, Zhou Jingxu’s face was blue and purple. Not a single place was intact. On a peaceful day, there was a big difference between seeing a man who dressed himself up in an extremely exquisite and elegant manner. If it wasn’t because he was extremely familiar with Zhou Jingxu, Yun Xiao was wondering if she could recognize Zhou Jingxu?

Zhou Jingxu remembered that when he saw the gloomy weather, because he was worried that Yun Xiao would be afraid by herself, he only took out a raincoat. Even Eunuch Cai did not wait. He hurriedly walked out and hurriedly came to Yun Xiao’s residence to look for Yun Xiao.

However, just as he was about to get close to where Yun Xiao lived, a hail began to fall, so it could block the rain, but it was of little use to the hail, so he was smashed like this.

Zhou Jingxu felt even more aggrieved when he saw Yun Xiao endure the bitter smile. He said dryly, “Isn’t it to accompany you? In the end, I will be laughed at by you. I didn’t want to come anymore.”

Yun Xiao smiled dryly and asked for the medicine for Rong Jin. She pulled Zhou Jingxu into the room. Chun Lan closed the door behind her and said, “I’ll apply medicine to you.”

Hearing this, Zhou Jingxu felt a smile on his face. However, the injuries on his face were too severe. There were a few places that had been smashed a lot, so he had already turned purple. Now, the moment he applied the medicine, the pain was unbearable.

However, Zhou Jingxu concealed all the pain when he saw that Yun Xiao seemed to have worked very hard to apply medicine to him.

The corner of Yun Xiao’s mouth curled into a faint smile as she said softly, “This medicine is extremely effective. It won’t leave any wounds on your face. I guarantee that when your face recovers, it will be smooth and tender like an egg that has just been shelled. It will make people unable to let go of it.”

This idiom was clearly used to describe women, but when Zhou Jingxu heard Yun Xiao’s words, his heart was still filled with sweetness.

Even the pain on his face didn’t hurt anymore.

Chun Lan saw that no one was paying attention to her. Right now, that little snake needed hot water, and His Highness the Ninth Prince was also seriously injured. Obviously, she also needed hot water, so she quietly walked towards the door.

However, before she could get close to the door, Yun Xiao said loudly, “Chun Lan, come back.”

Chun Lan felt a little frustrated, but she still followed Yun Xiao’s instructions and walked back with an awkward expression.

After quickly applying medicine to Zhou Jingxu, Yun Xiao instructed, “Chun Lan is in the house recovering well. The Ninth Prince and I will go get hot water.” As for Rong Jin, he was no longer within Yun Xiao’s consideration. He had to take care of Little Snake.

Chun Lan admired Yun Xiao very much. She actually dared to dictate to the prince of a country. She had seen Zhou Jingxu’s kung fu before, so she was relieved.

Only then did Zhou Jingxu recall that when he entered the door, the three of them seemed to be fighting over something. Could it be that they were fighting over hot water?

Zhou Jingxu’s face darkened as soon as he applied the medicine, “I’m not going.”

Yun Xiao narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Zhou Jingxu threateningly, “Are you really not going? A roasted chicken.”

Zhou Jingxu’s eyes shone brightly, but he still stayed where he was. “You underestimated me too much. A roasted chicken sent me away.”

“Two.”

“Am I the one who betrayed me for the sake of two roasted chickens? No matter what, I am still the ninth prince of today. My status is noble and elegant …”

Before he could finish speaking, he was blocked by Yun Xiao, “Add another plate of stinky tofu.”

“Deal. Let’s go.”

Chun Lan and Rong Jin frowned as they watched the two of them walk out, one tall and one short and harmonious.

Just as Yun Xiao’s figure was about to disappear, Rong Jin looked at a mark on the back of Yun Xiao’s hand that had been injured by the hail. She only remembered to apply medicine to Zhou Jingxu, but she forgot to apply medicine to herself.

The two figures disappeared. Chun Lan glanced at the little snake and respectfully said, “Young Master, if you need anything, please instruct this servant.”

…

Yun Xiao brought Zhou Jingxu close to the innermost side of the corridor and walked towards the kitchen. Occasionally, she would hear the sound of hailstones falling to the ground. Every time this sound appeared, everyone couldn’t help but frown.

Zhou Jingxu stood at the periphery and blocked Yun Xiao from hitting Yun Xiao with the hail. Then, he remembered something, “You haven’t applied medicine yet?”

Yun Xiao shook her head. She had forgotten.

Zhou Jingxu’s ink-jade-like eyes rolled around. Then, he picked up Yun Xiao’s hand and placed it on his cheeks. He rubbed it twice. Although his face was very painful, Zhou Jingxu still managed to hold it back. “Now it’s good medicine.”

Yun Xiao was embarrassed. Zhou Jingxu did indeed have medicine on his face. However, this method of applying medicine really made Yun Xiao not dare to compliment him.

Without waiting for her to question him, Zhou Jingxu continued, “Why is Young Master Rong in your room?”

“If it weren’t for him today, Chun Lan and I might have died here,” Yun Xiao snorted coldly. Obviously, she couldn’t figure out who it was. She actually wanted to kill him to silence her?

She seemed to be in the eyes of many people in the Imperial Palace, and Yun Xiao was unable to guess the result for a moment.

“What’s going on?” It seemed that there were some people in the palace whose claws were truly too irritating.

Yun Xiao Barabara poured out some beans and told her everything that had happened today.

Hearing this, Zhou Jingxu frowned tightly. Today, he almost had someone kill Yun Xiao in front of his eyes.

“Tomorrow, I beg Father Emperor to send you some guards here. Also, I will come here tomorrow to help you design a mechanism in the courtyard. As long as someone enters, you will know.” This way, it will be much safer.

Yun Xiao naturally did not decline. With today’s matter, Yun Xiao also maintained a doubtful attitude towards the safety of the imperial palace.

Not long after, the two of them walked to a small room. The luminous pearl in Zhou Jingxu’s hand emitted a faint halo.

Just as Zhou Jingxu was about to push open the door, Yun Xiao suddenly pulled Zhou Jingxu’s sleeve.

Zhou Jingxu was puzzled. Just as he was about to ask a question, Yun Xiao covered his mouth and made a silent gesture.

Zhou Jingxu naturally understood that Yun Xiao meant that there was someone in this room.

However, the touch of those hands on his mouth was too good, making him feel a little apprehensive.

Yun Xiao did not notice Zhou Jingxu’s strange behavior. She retracted her hand and then looked around with the faint light of the Luminous Pearl. Even if she wanted to find a place to hide here, she could not find it.

There was a dilemma.

When Yun Xiao’s eyes saw the hail all over the ground, her eyes lit up. She already had an idea in her heart. She took a few steps forward and picked up a piece of hail in her palm. Her tentacles were ice-cold and bone-piercing. It was so cold that people couldn’t help but shiver. However, Yun Xiao didn’t throw the hail out.

“I have an idea,” he whispered to Zhou Jingxu. “Form these hailstones into a formation and place them at the door of the room. As long as the people inside come out and enter the formation, we can handle them.”

He didn’t expect that a hail would attract so many people who wanted to kill him.

If it wasn’t for the sword light flashing across the ground when they first walked in, they would probably have already gone into a different place.

Zhou Jingxu also felt that this idea was extremely good. He agreed on the spot and picked up a few pieces of ice with Yun Xiao. The ice-cold hail was held in his hand and he couldn’t help but tremble. He resisted the thought of throwing away all the hail and set up a Five Elements Eight Trigrams Formation on the ground.

Zhou Jingxu thought more thoroughly, picked up a lot of hailstones, and set up two formations outside.

Even if they were able to escape from the first formation, as long as they walked forward, they would enter other formations, which would buy them more time.

In particular, Zhou Jingxu had even set up an array formation amidst the complicated hail, hiding the array formation within the hail, making it very difficult for people to discover that there was an array formation here.

After packing up all of this, Zhou Jingxu and Yun Xiao exchanged a glance. The two of them hid behind the pillar. Yun Xiao picked up a piece of hail and smashed it at the door lock.

“Crack!” The door opened. At the same time, three people rushed out of the room. Each of them held a sharp sword in their hands and slashed at the void …
