Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 270
Chapter 270 Wound Rupture
In the Imperial Study, the atmosphere was unprecedentedly oppressive, but no one said another word.
However, Yun Xiao was not as nervous as the others. Her eyes were still filled with ridicule.
Only by waking Zhou Jingyan up would she really be caught in Zhou Jingyan’s scheme. Later on, she would like to see how good this matter was.
It wouldn’t be long before someone had a headache.
Yun Xiao, on the other hand, had been secretly looking forward to it.
With the Jin Emperor, the Crown Prince, and the others watching from the side, the pressure on the imperial physician was also very great. However, after hesitating for a while, his expression became slightly happy before he said, “This official has a way to let the Third Prince wake up temporarily.”
“If you have a way, try!” The Jin Emperor immediately urged. With a method, it was naturally the best, and the matter could be settled perfectly.
However, after listening to the Jin Emperor’s words, the imperial physician’s expression was slightly awkward.
The Jin Emperor looked at the imperial physician’s expression and discovered that something was wrong with this matter. He asked with an embarrassed expression, “What method do you have? Tell me, I forgive your innocence!”
“However, please leave the Imperial Study first, Emperor and Prince. This method is too indecent. I learned it from an ancient book. I’m afraid that it will dirty the noble’s eyes. Therefore, please leave first, Emperor and Prince.” When the imperial physician mentioned this matter, his expression was slightly embarrassed.
The Jin Emperor stared at the imperial physician, but in the end, he still said loudly, “Since we want to save the Third Prince’s life, Crown Prince, let’s go out first.”
Zhou Jingchen immediately replied respectfully.
Since the Jin Emperor and Crown Prince Zhou Jingchen had agreed to this matter, the others naturally did not dare to delay.
Yun Xiao followed behind the Ninth Prince, Zhou Jingxu, and County Lord Hui Ning also followed. However, before leaving, she still looked back at Zhou Jingyan worriedly.
Yun Xiao naturally noticed county princess Hui Ning’s subconscious movements. However, Yun Xiao did not stop her. Instead, she said in a faint and indifferent tone, “With county princess standing guard outside, nothing will happen to His Highness the Third Prince.”
County Lord Hui Ning heard Yun Xiao’s ridicule clearly and looked at Yun Xiao angrily, “What nonsense are you talking about?”
Those who didn’t know, after hearing this, might think that she had given them the poison.
Yun Xiao ignored county princess Huining and was following everyone out.
Just as his front foot stepped out of the Imperial Study, Yun Xiao’s face turned slightly pale when the cold wind blew.
“Fourth Young Lady, what’s wrong?” When county princess Huining saw that Yun Xiao’s body couldn’t help but shiver, she noticed that something was wrong and walked over with a chuckle.
However, when she left, she specifically looked at Yun Xiao’s skirt and fiercely stepped on it with a gentle expression.
Yun Xiao was blown by the cold wind. She felt that her body was extremely cold. Not only was her body cold, but her body and mind were also cold. The pain that she had endured was also sweeping through her mind.
When she heard county princess Hui Ning’s words, Yun Xiao’s expression turned ugly for a moment. She felt her skirt once again. Yun Xiao’s palm-sized elegant face became extremely embarrassed. She wanted to dodge under her feet. However, before Yun Xiao could dodge, she felt a strong force from behind her, pushing her forward.
Yun Xiao had only managed to stabilize her pace with great difficulty, and this was going to be chaotic again.
At this moment, Yun Xiao happened to be right in front of the Jin Emperor. With this pounce, she would definitely pounce on the Jin Emperor’s body.
What was this supposed to do?
No matter how fast Yun Xiao’s brain spun, she couldn’t take back her body now.
Right at this moment, with a strong force, Yun Xiao’s arm was pulled by both hands, thus avoiding falling onto the Jin Emperor’s body.
However, this action involved Yun Xiao’s wound, and she could not help but snort, “Mm”.
Yun Xiao endured the pain forcefully. When she looked left and right, she saw Qing Mo grabbing her arm on the left, while Zhou Jingchen grabbed her arm on the other side.
Yun Xiao’s face turned red for an instant. After stabilizing her body, she looked at Zhou Jingchen with a faint gratitude in her eyes.
When Zhou Jingchen saw Yun Xiao’s elegant little face, his ears couldn’t help but turn red. He could only use his words to cover up his embarrassment, “Is Fourth Young Lady alright?”
Yun Xiao immediately shook her head and endured the pain coming from her body. “Thank you, Your Highness Prince.”
Yun Xiao glanced sideways at Qing Mo, and Qing Mo immediately let go of Yun Xiao’s arm.
She lowered her head and looked in front of her. Yun Xiao happened to see that a large area of her body had already been soaked with fresh blood.
Chun Lan followed behind Yun Xiao. She happened to see the bloody dress on Yun Xiao’s body. Her face was pale. “Miss, are you alright?”
Yun Xiao shook her head. Although her heart ached, she could still endure it.
When Zhou Jingxu heard Chun Lan’s exclamation, he turned around and saw Yun Xiao’s pale face. The moon-white coat in front of him had already been dyed wet with blood, and his expression changed drastically. “Wood, are you alright?”
“I’m fine,” Yun Xiao knew that if Zhou Jingxu went crazy, what he did would definitely be incomprehensible to everyone. She could only forcefully raise her spirits and comfort Zhou Jingxu.
When the Jin Emperor heard the commotion behind him, he turned his head and looked over. He saw that Yun Xiao had a look of forbearance. He fiercely swept his gaze towards the maidservant beside Yun Xiao and said sternly, “What happened to your girl?”
Chun Lan hesitated, not knowing what to say. On the contrary, Qing Mo said respectfully, “My girl was assassinated last night. Fortunately, she was discovered in time and did not make a big mistake.”
“Your girl is well-behaved. How could she be assassinated?” The Jin Emperor’s voice carried an indescribable coldness.
“Last night, the guards in the manor were bribed. They took advantage of the time to report to the young lady to kill her.” When Qing Mo mentioned this matter, his face was neither red nor breathless, and his expression was calm.
However, the Yun Clan’s household affairs were indeed hard to talk about to others. Now that they were speaking like this, it could be considered that the Yun Clan’s reputation was complete.
The Jin Emperor’s dignified eyes fell on Yun Xiao’s body with a cold expression. “I thought that it was a wound that your girl did not want to enter the palace, so she purposely stabbed it out.”
Hearing this, Yun Xiao felt a little confused. It was estimated that only the Jin Emperor would dare to say these words here.
Naturally, Yun Xiao did not dare to blame the Jin Emperor anymore. She only said respectfully, “The maiden does not dare.”
Looking at the Jin Emperor’s gaze, Yun Xiao was somewhat glad that she was injured.
Otherwise, when he entered the palace this time, the Jin Emperor would probably leave him in the palace again.
Zhou Jingxu did not expect his father Emperor to be able to say such a thing. He immediately frowned and coughed softly before saying, “Father Emperor, the fourth young lady’s body is very important. Besides, the fourth young lady is just a woman. How could she do such a thing that would harm her body?” “The assassination is probably true, not to mention that someone kidnapped the fourth young miss during the day. Seeing that the fourth young miss had escaped and Yun Mansion had tried to assassinate the fourth young miss again, this matter might be true.”
The Jin Emperor’s unperturbed gaze fell on Zhou Jingxu, but Zhou Jingxu was still standing in front of Yun Xiao with his head held high, not willing to leave.
The Jin Emperor sighed. There was a little more doubt in his heart. He didn’t know what was good about the Yun Family’s fourth young lady. She actually wanted a prince to favor her one by one.
“It’s good that you don’t dare. Go bandage your wounds first.” The Jin Emperor looked at Yun Xiao’s injured appearance with a sigh in his eyes. He finally met a good chef with great difficulty, but this chef was unable to cook.
His appetite was hard to satisfy.
Seeing this, Yun Xiao bowed and thanked the Jin Emperor. Only then did she bring her maids, Qing Mo and Chun Lan, to the side hall under Eunuch Wei’s lead.
However, before he could even take a few steps, he heard County Lord Huining’s crisp voice from behind him. “Reporting to Your Majesty, it was because of Huining that the Yun Family’s fourth young miss almost fell over. She was pumping blood from her wounds. Huining couldn’t bear it, so she asked for help from the Yun Family’s fourth young miss. Please allow her Majesty to do so.”
When Yun Xiao heard this, her brows furrowed tightly.
Hui Ning County mainly came to apply medicine to him? This was simply unimaginable! Amazing!
County princess Huining had no idea what was going on in her heart.
Yun Xiao erected her ears and listened. The footsteps beneath her feet did not stop, and her expression did not change. The mockery in her eyes became more and more intense.
The Jin Emperor glanced at county princess Huining and was very displeased with the flickering gaze in her eyes.
However, he remembered that Hui Ning’s biological mother was Princess Changping. Even if he didn’t want to agree, for Hui Ning’s sake, he still had to agree.
Moreover, since Fourth Young Lady Yun was unwilling to enter the palace, she really had to learn a lesson, so she nodded her head and said, “Alright, it’s rare for Hui Ning to be so sensible.”
This sentence was so obvious that even though county princess Huining frowned, she didn’t dare to say anything and softly replied, “Yes!”
County Lord Hui Ning received the Jin Emperor’s agreement and immediately followed Yun Xiao’s footsteps with a smile.
At this moment, Yun Xiao did not seem to hear the sound of footsteps behind her, nor did she turn around to take a look. She continued to walk forward with a normal expression.
Eunuch Wei led Yun Xiao and the others into the side hall. He took out a small medicine bottle from the Treasure Pavilion, and said with a smile, “Fourth young miss, this is the best medicine in the palace. Fourth young miss can use it, and the wound will heal faster.”
Yun Xiao bowed and thanked him before saying, “Thank you, Eunuch Wei. I have to trouble Eunuch Wei for thinking so much about the body of the maiden.”
Eunuch Wei smiled and said, “This servant is not worrying about the fourth girl’s body, this servant is worrying about the food His Majesty has brought to his mouth.”
This sentence made the atmosphere in the side hall lighter. Yun Xiao also had a smile on her face, “No matter what, I still have to thank Eunuch Wei.”
Yun Xiao took the medicine and gave it to Qing Mo first.
After Eunuch Wei left, Chun Lan said, “Miss, this servant will show you the wound first.”
Just as Yun Xiao was about to nod, she heard a sarcastic voice that carried an unconcealable hatred and anger. “Oh, who do I think this is? I didn’t expect it to be Yun Clan’s fourth girl?”
As County Lord Hui Ning spoke, he walked up to me and stretched out his finger to poke Yun Xiao’s injured chest. “I want to see if Fourth Miss Yun’s body is really injured, or is she faking it?”
However, before her hand could touch Yun Xiao’s body, she was held by a courteous hand.
Qing Mo didn’t have the slightest intention of showing mercy to her and threw county princess Hui Ning fiercely at the ground.
County Lord Hui Ning’s body and the marble floor formed an extremely intimate posture, followed by a loud collision sound.
Then, county princess Hui Ning couldn’t help but shout, “Aiyo.”
County princess Huining felt her eyes turn golden from being thrown. She endured the pain in her leg and shouted, “Yunxiao, you actually dare to humiliate me like this!”
