Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 266
Chapter 266 Palace Gate Accident
A simple carriage slowly stopped at the entrance of the palace.
Qing Mo got off the carriage first, followed by Chun Lan. Yun Xiao also got off the carriage. Looking at the towering walls of the imperial palace, a trace of mockery flashed across the corner of Yun Xiao’s mouth.
Eunuch Wei hurriedly greeted him and said respectfully, “Fourth Young Lady, although you are injured, according to the rules of the palace, the carriage can only reach here. The rest can only walk in.”
How could Yun Xiao have lived in this palace for half a year in her previous life? How could she not understand these things? She chuckled and said, “Eunuch Wei, you’re too polite. Yun Xiao’s crude body can still walk these paths.”
Eunuch Wei’s wrinkled face was filled with admiration as he whispered, “That’s good. Then let’s go in first.”
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves suddenly rang out, bringing dust to the ground.
The carriage was not in a hurry and charged towards Yun Xiao with an extremely arrogant posture.
Speaking of which, everyone here stared blankly at this scene and forgot to pull the carriage.
When Qing Mo saw this, he quickly pulled Yun Xiao a few steps away and roared at Chun Lan, “Watch the girl.”
Only then did Chun Lan regain her senses and anxiously supported Yun Xiao’s body.
Qing Mo furrowed his brows tightly. His expression was unsightly, and his agile body flipped through the air. At the same time, he waved the sword in his hand. The sharp sword light reflected a cold arc in the air and pierced into the horse’s leg.
Under the pain, the horse raised its front hoof high and let out a long cry. Suddenly, it landed on the ground fiercely.
After a loud “bang” sound, it attracted the attention of many people and also brought dust to the ground.
At the agreed time, the coachman sitting on the carriage shaft was also thrown off the carriage by the horse. The horse’s heavy body just happened to be pressing down on the carriage.
Seeing this, Yun Xiao finally let out a sigh of relief. Qing Mo had already turned around and bowed towards Yun Xiao Lianren, “Miss, are you alright?”
Yun Xiao shook her head, and a trace of admiration flashed in her eyes. “I’m fine.”
Eunuch Wei also reacted. Seeing that Yun Xiao was fine, he heaved a sigh of relief. “It’s good that Fourth Young Lady is fine. She was about to scare the old servant to death just now.”
Yun Xiao chuckled and said, “Eunuch Wei, you’re the one who ruined me.”
Chun Lan tidied up Yun Xiao’s appearance and clothes.
At this time, the people on the carriage also got off with the help of the maidservant.
The two maids, one pink and one green, supported a woman in a red robe. The woman wore a complicated robe, but the carriage’s clothes were a little messy due to the bumpiness.
The pretty Ling Yun temples on his head were also a little messy, and a few hairpins had fallen off. His delicate makeup face flickered with unconcealable anger.
County princess Hui Ning patted her clothes irritably. A streak of light flashed in her eyes. When she saw the living Yun Xiao on the other side, a strong hatred flashed in her beautiful phoenix eyes.
Unexpectedly, she didn’t have an accident last night, and the horse didn’t kill Yun Xiao just now!
She glanced angrily at the carriage and harshly berated the guards not far away, “You are all dead. Didn’t you see my coachman getting off the horse? Why don’t you hurry up and get out of my carriage?”
Seeing that it was county princess Hui Ning, the Imperial Guards did not dare to hesitate. They hurriedly ran over to help and lifted the horse. Only then did they pull the coachman out.
The guards looked at the carriage and said with an embarrassed expression, “Reporting to the county princess, the driver is dead.”
Just now, the coachman landed on the ground and was suppressed by the horse. He was heavily injured and couldn’t breathe. He was suffocated to death under the horse.
County Lord Hui Ning’s expression became extremely embarrassed when he heard this. He looked at Yun Xiao as if he had nothing in his eyes and said angrily, “Who stabbed my horse to death just now? Stand up! Since you crushed my coachman to death, you must kill him to pay for your life!”
When Yun Xiao heard this, a cold smile flashed across her eyes. She said loudly, “The horse was stabbed by my maidservant. Does the county princess want to exchange my life for the life of your coachman?”
She still hasn’t settled the score with county princess Hui Ning! She shouted first.
County Lord Hui Ning turned around and saw Yun Xiao looking at him with a mocking expression. He snorted coldly and said, “I didn’t expect to meet Fourth Young Lady here. What a coincidence. I didn’t expect Fourth Young Lady to be sensible and take the initiative to offer to pay for my groom’s life. Naturally, I can’t refuse.”
Yun Xiao’s expression was the same as usual, and she was not angry. She only said softly, “Thank you, county princess, for your compliment. You know how to be reasonable. Since county princess has said it, I will accept it. However, there is something wrong with county princess’ words.”
“What’s wrong?” County princess Huining’s expression was embarrassed, and her eyes narrowed tightly. Her gaze towards Yun Xiao was already like a dead person.
Yun Xiao said without changing her expression, “What the county princess said about me killing your groom is wrong. On the contrary, what I want to say is, I saved the life of county princess Hui Ning. How should the county princess thank me?”
“What did you say? This county princess has a noble status and wants you, an unknown and infamous woman, to save me?” County princess Hui Ning didn’t expect that Yun Xiao would still argue when she was about to die, so he snorted coldly.
Yun Xiao slowly walked up to the horse’s side, and Chun Lan and Qing Mo, who were behind her, immediately chased after him.
After circling the horse for a while, Yun Xiao said softly, “County princess has a noble status. Naturally, I am not comparable to you, and I am not willing to compare with you. However, the fact that I saved you is the truth. County princess did not say a word of thanks, but harshly scolded me instead. I wonder why?”
Seeing that Yun Xiao was about to die and had an ignorant face, County Head Huining coldly said, “Alright, then tell me, how did you save my life? If you can tell me the ugly story, I won’t let you pay for this coachman’s life today.”
Yun Xiao’s lips curled into a faint smile, but the smile was filled with ridicule. “County princess must have known that county princess’ horse had already arrived at the entrance of the imperial palace, so there were only two possibilities. One was that county princess deliberately asked the horse driver to drive the horse so quickly, and the other was that the horse lost control and could not be controlled.”
“If it ‘s one, The county princess deliberately drove her horse in front of the imperial palace, On this charge, I’m afraid the county princess’ crime is not light, “Although the county princess has a noble status and is supported by the eldest princess, she has offended Tian Yan and always committed a serious crime. If it was the second time, the horse would lose control. Although the county princess would no longer have to bear this charge, the horse that lost control would be the most difficult to tame. The horse was crazy and had no choice but to run into the palace wall. Whether Hui Ning would be able to survive or not is another matter.”
Yun Xiao said softly, counting the consequences of sitting down, she saw County Lord Huining’s face was extremely embarrassed, and a trace of sarcasm flashed across the corner of her mouth.
If she wanted to use such a trick to kill herself, she had to see if she had the strength to do so.
Moreover, only a person like county princess Huining who could not move his head would do such a thing.
Not to mention, now that he was standing here alive and there was nothing wrong with him, he would definitely not do anything to make county princess Huining admit that he had offended Tian Yan.
Only then did Yun Xiao look at county princess Hui Ning provocatively. A faint sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth as she said softly, “county princess, I wonder what’s wrong with what I said? What kind of situation is county princess in?”
“You!” County princess Hui Ning did not expect that Yun Xiao would actually be able to think of this floor. Her expression was extremely embarrassing, and her expression was awkward. However, she was still more angry. “What nonsense are you talking about?”
Yun Xiao only smiled and looked at county princess Hui Ning. The corner of her mouth slowly curled into a hint of mockery. “Am I wrong? Why don’t you tell me why the county princess’s horse ran over like crazy just now and almost hit me?”
Yun Xiao’s voice was fierce, and her expression was icy cold, causing the county princess of Hui Ning’s expression to stiffen slightly. For a moment, she hesitated and opened her mouth, but the words in her words did not come out.
After thinking for a long time, County Lord Huining’s expression became even more embarrassed. “The horse lost control, it has nothing to do with me!”
Yun Xiao knew that county princess Hui Ning would say this. The corner of her mouth was even more mocking, and the corner of her mouth slightly raised. “Since that’s the case, then what should this coachman do?”
County Lord Hui Ning’s expression was extremely embarrassed. She lowered her head and looked at the dead coachman. “This coachman was crushed to death by the horse in front of everyone, but in the final analysis, it was still your maidservant who injured the horse, causing the horse to go crazy in an instant. In that case, the suspicion of murder, no matter what, could not escape.”
When Yun Xiao heard county princess Hui Ning’s words, the last trace of unbearability in her eyes also disappeared.
Since she was wholeheartedly trying to kill her, if she didn’t welcome her, wouldn’t she be telling others that the Yun Clan would be able to be kneaded by others when she took charge of the Yun Clan in the future?
What a joke!
Yun Xiao brought the maidservant back. When she passed the county princess of Hui Ning, her eyes did not blink. She only whispered, “The county princess’ play today is really wonderful. If I don’t support her, wouldn’t I be giving the county princess no face?”
County princess Huining listened to this provocation and her beautiful eyes flashed with a bright light. She snorted coldly and said, “I don’t need you, you bitch, to give me face!”
Yun Xiao slowly walked forward. Her voice was very soft, but she said word by word, “I don’t intend to give you face either. Isn’t the county princess being too emotional?”
County Lord Hui Ning’s face suddenly turned red. He took a step forward and was about to ruthlessly hit Yun Xiao’s face, but was pulled by the maidservant beside her. “County Lord, this is the Imperial City, let’s endure for a moment.”
County Lord Hui Ning didn’t slap him. He turned around and fiercely landed on Ban Xia’s face. He harshly scolded, “Endure! Why should I endure?”
Ban Xia covered his face as if he didn’t dare to say anything. He didn’t dare to speak anymore.
Compared to the excitement here, Yun Xiao only brought the maidservant to Eunuch Wei’s side and slowly bowed before saying, “I’m really sorry, Eunuch Wei came to pick me up with good intentions today. I didn’t expect Eunuch Wei and I to be shocked. We almost died here. It was all Yun Xiao’s fault.”
Eunuch Wei saw that Yun Xiao was gentle and courteous, and his heart was filled with admiration. On the contrary, he did not have a good impression of that tyrannical and tyrannical county princess Hui Ning. He had just escaped death, causing Eunuch Wei’s face to turn slightly pale.
He still smiled and said, “Fourth Young Lady, you’re too polite. If not for your maidservant saving this old servant’s life, I’m afraid this old servant’s soul would have already returned to the Western Heavens. This old servant hasn’t thanked the fourth young lady. I can clearly see what happened today. Let’s enter the Palace Saint.”
Yun Xiao chuckled and said, “Yes, Eunuch Wei, please!”
Eunuch Wei also invited Yun Xiao and left first. However, this time, he did not look at County Lord Hui Ning.
After Yun Xiao, Eunuch Wei and the others disappeared from the entrance of the palace, County Lord Hui Ning opened his mouth nervously and said in disbelief, “Is that Eunuch Wei? Why is he here? Or is he going to pick up Yun Xiao?”
However, no one replied to Hui Ning’s words.
County princess Hui Ning stomped her feet and immediately chased after her. If Yun Xiao and Eunuch Wei entered the Imperial Study and complained, she would be finished …
