Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 269

Chapter 269 Poisoning By Jing Yan
A moment of panic appeared in the Imperial Study.

The Jin Emperor’s expression turned ugly for a moment as he hurriedly said, “Doctor Xuan! Doctor Xuan, hurry up!”

At this moment, Eunuch Wei’s expression became slightly anxious. “This servant will go to the Propaganda Imperial Physician now!”

As soon as Eunuch Wei left, some people in the room surrounded Zhou Jingyan and said with concern, “Third Highness, what’s wrong with you?”

The Jin Emperor also walked out from the Imperial Court. Looking at Zhou Jingyan’s embarrassed face and purple lips, his face, which was filled with joy and anger, was also filled with a trace of anxiety, “Yan’er?”

However, Zhou Jingyan, who had already fainted, could not answer the voices of the crowd.

When Yun Xiao saw that everyone was surrounding her, she did not move from the bottom of her heart and appeared too abrupt. She simply brought her maidservant over.

However, although Yun Xiao walked over, she did not say a word.

She only hated Zhou Jingyan and could not care about him. She was too lazy to ask Zhou Jingyan.

Moreover, it was simply impossible for a smart man like Zhou Jingyan to be poisoned.

In her previous life, she had been by Zhou Jingyan’s side for so long, but she had never seen him poisoned before. The only injuries were his own bitter schemes.

Therefore, today’s incident must have been a play directed and performed by Zhou Jingyan himself.

Speaking of the play, Yun Xiao’s eyes flashed with mockery.

However, there was still one thing in his heart that reminded him.

Zhou Jingyan did not act for no reason.

Since he had appeared here, Zhou Jingyan must have had a plan.

Today was the trial of yesterday’s case, and Zhou Jingyan’s appearance was naturally to fight back.

Yun Xiao’s face turned deathly pale in an instant.

She had been unable to guess how someone like Zhou Jingyan would admit defeat so easily. She did not expect that Zhou Jingyan did not admit defeat, but that he already had a way. No wonder he was so confident.

Right at this moment, Yun Xiao stood at the side and did not say anything. She heard a sharp shout, “Don’t come over!”

Yun Xiao followed this voice and looked over in surprise. As expected, it was indeed the voice of County Lord Hui Ning. Presumably, it was also the same. Since it was the voice of a woman, no one here would target her everywhere except County Lord Hui Ning.

However, Yun Xiao’s expression was still calm as she turned to look at County Lord Hui Ning on the other side. A trace of mockery appeared in the depths of Gujing Wubo’s eyes, “Oh? What does County Lord Hui Ning mean by that?”

“What do you mean! This poison was planted by you! It’s the poison you planted on His Highness the Third Prince!” County Lord Hui Ning’s gaze towards Yun Xiao carried a devouring aura, while his heart carried a faint joy. His expression was natural, but he could not conceal his pride.

Today, I didn’t expect that Yun Xiao would be able to escape again and again. If I could use this opportunity of Zhou Jingyan poisoning to put Yun Xiao to death, it would be a wonderful thing. “Today, His Highness the Third Prince entered the capital all the way. After downloading the software, I only spoke a few words to you. Who did this poison not belong to you? “If you say that you are wrongly accused, alright, then let someone examine you. If you can’t find any poison on your body, then this poison isn’t yours. How about this?”

Yun Xiao had already calculated that county princess Huining would use this matter to explain, “County princess, if you say so, you have wronged me. I didn’t poison you, so I’m not afraid of searching you. However, County princess Huining, don’t forget that I talked to His Highness the Third Prince today and kept a distance. Even if I wanted to poison you, how could you see the traces of my hand?”

After she finished speaking, she ignored County Lord Hui Ning, whose expression suddenly turned ugly, and whispered, “County Lord Hui Ning is the most suspicious person who can poison His Highness the Third Prince. No matter what, County Lord Hui Ning is in close contact with His Highness the Third Prince. Even if someone said that County Lord and His Highness the Third Prince have skin-to-skin relations, they should be able to continue.”

When Zhou Jingyan entered the sect this time, he was supported by county princess Hui Ning. This matter was well-known, and no one could forget it.

County princess Hui Ning was not afraid of any intimate actions with Zhou Jingyan, but when Yun Xiao said such words, her face was still extremely embarrassed.

She snorted coldly and then said, “If Fourth Young Lady doesn’t know how to speak, it would be better to use fewer idioms. Skin kissing is something that can be used casually. I only saw that His Highness Third Prince is unsupported, so I helped His Highness Third Prince into the room.”

“Since the county princess said that, I believe she has already admitted to coming into close contact with His Highness the Third Prince. In other words, the person who is most likely to poison His Highness the Third Prince is the county princess?” Yun Xiao’s expression was still indifferent, and her gaze carried a trace of mockery, as if she didn’t say anything.

“You!” County Lord Hui Ning originally wanted to put the reputation of poisoning His Highness the Third Prince on Yun Xiao’s head, but who knew that in the blink of an eye, this name had already fallen on him again. Thinking of this, County Lord Hui Ning became more and more angry, and his face darkened.

It was like a prelude to a storm.

However, Yun Xiao was not afraid of her at all. She just smiled and continued to look at Zhou Jingyan, who was still unconscious.

This was his greatest enemy today, and county princess Hui Ning was not a threat to him.

“Enough! Speak less for me!” How could the Jin Emperor not see through county princess Hui Ning’s little trick? He only felt that being quarreled by the two of them caused him a headache, so he harshly scolded him.

Yun Xiao bowed respectfully in the direction of the Jin Emperor. Her voice was as clear as an oriole’s cry, “The maiden knows her mistake.”

The Jin Emperor only snorted coldly before turning his gaze away.

County princess Hui Ning was very angry with Yunxiao, but in front of everyone, she did not dare to be too presumptuous. She could only obediently salute Yun Xiao and greet him respectfully, “Hui Ning also knows his mistake.”

Zhou Jingxu had never said a word since Yun Xiao entered the imperial study. This time, Yun Xiao had been provoked by county princess Hui Ning. Her exquisite face, the size of a palm, was filled with an unconcealable gloom. “Sister Hui Ning, aren’t you self-respecting and noble? Aren’t you unwilling to lower your head so easily?” He actually recognized me today. I wonder if my ears are hallucinating, or if something has happened. “Later, the imperial physician is here. After the imperial physician treats Third Brother, I also want the imperial physician to show me.”

“You!” County princess Hui Ning didn’t extinguish her anger. She continued to get angry. Her expression was cold and grim. “Ninth prince, please be careful!”

Zhou Jingxu sneered, gently covering his mouth and chuckling, “As you said, I really need to be cautious, but Sister Hui Ning has to set a good example for me!”

“Alright, alright, Xu’er, don’t say another word.” The Jin Emperor wanted to continue venting his anger, but when he saw that his beloved younger son had said this, he could only suppress his anger. “Crown Prince, your temper is calm. In the future, you have to say Xu’er well.”

Zhou Jingchen immediately respectfully replied, respectful and gentle.

When the Jin Emperor saw this, a faint joy arose in his heart. He secretly nodded his head and said, “This is the demeanor that our Eastern Jin Crown Prince should have.”

Zhou Jingchen’s expression was gentle, neither arrogant nor impetuous, and he was once again delighted by the Jin Emperor.

County Lord Hui Ning looked coldly at the scene in front of him, his expression filled with jealousy.

She had never understood that Zhou Jingchen was supposed to be a dead person, so how could he have lived in this world for so long?

Previously, she had always thought that it was her rebirth that caused Zhou Jingchen’s death. However, county princess Hui Ning did not think so anymore. She glanced at him faintly and her gaze shifted to Yun Xiao again.

Not only had Zhou Jingchen’s fate changed, but now, Yun Xiao’s fate seemed to have changed a little.

Previously, Yun Xiao had a friendship with Zhou Jingyan, but now, Zhou Jingyan was still infatuated with Yun Xiao. However, Yun Xiao disliked Zhou Jingyan everywhere. No matter what, she felt that was wrong.

County princess Hui Ning’s expression turned ugly for a moment. For some reason, her heart grew colder and colder, and the thought in her heart became clearer and clearer.

If … if Yun Xiao had lived a new life just like him, then the result …

County princess Huining shook her head vigorously, shaking off the thought in her mind.

No … impossible!

At this moment, Eunuch Wei had already brought the Imperial Physician into the Imperial Study. The Imperial Physician had treated Zhou Jingyan for a while, and his expression was slightly embarrassed.

Seeing the Imperial Physician’s expression, the Jin Emperor knew that things were not going well.

“How’s Third Brother? Hurry up and say it!”

Zhou Jingchen instructed the imperial physician with a cold expression. Seeing his expression, he knew that Zhou Jingyan’s expression was not too good.

The imperial physician didn’t dare to conceal anything. Even if he said, “Your Highness the Third Prince was poisoned. However, because of the early onset, he was discovered in time and could be saved. However, I didn’t dare to use medicine on Your Highness the Third Prince.”

The Jin Emperor’s face was filled with rage, “Since you’ve already discovered what kind of poison it is, why don’t you dare to use it?”

The imperial physician immediately knelt down. He crawled on the ground, “This poison is not a plunge poison. It is a mixture of several snake and insect poisons. If it was just an ordinary snake poison, I would still dare to use it. However, there is an extremely rare poison in this snake poison. I do not know the sequence and composition of these snake poisons, so I dare not use it rashly, causing the life of His Highness the Third Prince,” he said with a trembling voice.

“What?” The Jin Emperor glared angrily at the imperial physician with an angry killing intent on his face. “I don’t care what you do! I order you to find the poison today and cure His Highness the Third Prince’s poison. Otherwise, I will take you for questioning!”

The imperial physician didn’t dare to refuse, but his expression became even more bitter. He respectfully clicked his head for a moment before he got up and walked to Zhou Jingyan’s side again to treat him.

At this moment, the Jin Emperor’s expression was also extremely sinister. He coldly snorted and continued, “Can you let the Third Prince wake up first? I have something to ask the Third Prince!”

Zhou Jingchen looked very embarrassed when he saw that things had developed to this point. He respectfully said, “Father Emperor said that we should first wake up Third Brother and ask who poisoned him. Perhaps we can find the antidote.”

After getting the approval of the Jin Emperor, he nodded and said, “Or does the Crown Prince understand my intentions? Do you have a way to wake up the Third Prince first?”

The imperial physician listened to the Jin Emperor’s words and his face was about to wrinkle into water. However, he did not dare to directly reject the Jin Emperor and even said, “I will do my best!”
