Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 274

Chapter 274 Turn Of The Road
When Yun Xiao saw that everyone was looking at her, only the corners of her mouth slowly curled into a light smile. She raised her head and looked at everyone.

When he looked past Zhou Jingxu, he saw Zhou Jingxu blink at her. Then, he turned to county princess Hui Ning with a gentle expression. “Does county princess really think I sent him?”

County Lord Hui Ning looked at Yun Xiao’s faintly smiling face and couldn’t make up his mind for a moment. What exactly did Yun Xiao want to do?

However, county princess Hui Ning immediately thought that no matter how sly Yun Xiao tried to argue, she would not be able to let go of her responsibility this time.

Because …

Right at this moment, the door of the Imperial Study rang again. Eunuch Wei, who had already left, walked in again. However, when Eunuch Wei entered, his expression was extremely embarrassed. His entire face was filled with a faint gloom.

Everyone’s gazes immediately fell on Eunuch Wei.

Eunuch Wei walked past the crowd and took a few deep breaths before saying, “Your Majesty …”

The Jin Emperor frowned and said loudly, “Is there anything else?”

Eunuch Wei took out something from his hand and walked straight to the Jin Emperor’s side. He said respectfully, “Your Majesty, this handkerchief was found on the assassin who assassinated the Third Prince.”

Everyone looked at Eunuch Wei’s hand in unison, wanting to know what the handkerchief looked like and what it had to do with this case.

However, Eunuch Wei’s fat body could cover everyone’s line of sight, making it impossible for them to see the handkerchief clearly.

Yun Xiao looked sideways and saw a faint light flash in County Lord Huining’s eyes when he saw Eunuch Wei. However, the joy in his eyes could not be concealed.

Seeing this, Yun Xiao understood all the thoughts in her heart.

Sure enough, after seeing the handkerchief, the Jin Emperor’s expression was extremely embarrassed. He threw the handkerchief fiercely at Yun Xiao’s feet and said sternly, “Yun Xiao, why are you explaining this handkerchief?”

This voice was inexplicable, causing everyone in the room to suck in a breath of cold air. Their gazes also shifted to Yun Xiao’s face. Then, everyone’s gazes turned to the handkerchief on the ground.

The handkerchief was made of fine brocade. In one corner of the handkerchief, there was a crabapple tree embroidered. The flowers on the crabapple tree were blooming brightly, and they were competing for beauty. It could be considered to have a different flavor.

However, under the Begonia tree, there was a word embroidered with golden silk thread. The word emitted a faint light under the sunlight shining through the window.

However, everyone could clearly see that the word was precisely the word “cloud”.

Thinking back to what Eunuch Wei said, this handkerchief was found on the murderer’s body. In other words, did Yun Xiao really send someone to assassinate His Highness the Third Prince?

At this moment, with County Lord Hui Ning’s accusation and this handkerchief as evidence, it could indeed be said that Yun Xiao was the mastermind behind this matter.

On the other hand, Yun Xiao’s face did not show the slightest bit of panic. Instead, her expression became even more resolute.

She slowly walked forward and walked to the handkerchief that was thrown on the ground. She slowly squatted down and picked up the handkerchief that landed on the ground. Her fingers carefully scanned the embroidered gorgeous crabapple tree and said softly, “The crabapple embroidery on this handkerchief is really exquisite. I’m afraid that ordinary embroidery mother can’t embroider it out. It’s enough to compare with embroidery mother in the palace.”

Everyone didn’t know what Yun Xiao was saying, and no one spoke. They just looked at Yun Xiao, wanting to see how she would continue broadcasting.

County princess Hui Ning looked at Yun Xiao with a mocking expression. She didn’t know what she was doing, but at this moment, County princess Hui Ning wasn’t worried at all. With this handkerchief, no matter how Yun Xiao tried to explain it, she probably wouldn’t be able to get away with it.

Yun Xiao glanced at County Lord Hui Ning as if nothing had happened. Then, she turned her gaze to the handkerchief in her hand and whispered, “County Lord Hui Ning, do you really think that I was the one who sent people to assassinate the Third Prince?”

County Lord Hui Ning snorted coldly and said loudly, “The evidence is conclusive. What else can you defend?”

Yun Xiao chuckled and said loudly, “County Lord Hui Ning is wrong.”

‘”Why am I wrong? The murderer will only be by our side, and the murderer has a handkerchief with the words” Cloud “written on his body. A wise person can tell who the murderer is at a glance!” Yun Xiao, looking at our acquaintance, I advise you not to argue any further. As long as you are calm to His Majesty, I will definitely plead for you in front of His Majesty! ” County Lord Hui Ning’s face was filled with regret, but his eyes were flickering with a dense glint. He wished he could immediately get rid of Yun Xiao.

Yun Xiao saw County Lord Huining’s face full of victory and sighed, as if she could not bear it. “County Lord is wrong. This handkerchief is accompanied by the surname Yun, but everyone who knows me clearly knows that I have never embroidered my name on the handkerchief. Although I like crabapple trees, I have never embroidered crabapple trees on the handkerchief. Moreover, this handkerchief is too exquisite. It is definitely not owned by an ordinary person. ”

After she finished speaking, she took out the handkerchief she had with her and said in a low voice, “My handkerchief does not embroider Haitang nor the name. Although I am good at cooking, the red woman is not very good. My handkerchief has always been embroidered by maids.”

She shook off her handkerchief, raised it high and said loudly, “Can you see it clearly?” All my handkerchiefs are like handkerchiefs in my palms, “The pattern embroidered on the handkerchief is a bamboo, and I’m afraid that my handkerchief will be placed together with others and be confused by others, so I will personally embroider the word ‘Bamboo’. The word ‘Bamboo’ takes the word ‘Xiao’ from my name, and the word ‘Xiao’ is a bamboo. Because I can’t embroider well, all the bamboo is crooked.”

Everyone followed Yun Xiao’s words and cast their gazes on the handkerchief in Yun Xiao’s hand. The kick of the handkerchief was indeed perfectly embroidered on the mountain bamboo. However, at the bottom of the corner of the bamboo, there was a small and exquisite word’bamboo ‘. The word’bamboo’ was crooked and distorted, which greatly affected the elegance and formed a sharp contrast with the mountain bamboo.

She had just finished saying those words when she turned to look at County Lord Hui Ning. As expected, she saw County Lord Hui Ning’s gloomy expression. There was a trace of disbelief in her eyes, and she muttered, “Impossible! Absolutely impossible!”

The corner of Yun Xiao’s mouth curled into a hint of mockery as she said loudly, “How is this impossible? I wonder what the county princess means by saying this? I have proved my innocence, and there is no need for the county princess to plead for me. Shouldn’t the county princess be happy for me?”

However, county princess Hui Ning didn’t seem to be able to hear Yun Xiao’s words at this moment. His eyes were only spinning back and forth on the handkerchiefs in Yun Xiao’s hands. His expression was extremely embarrassed, and he kept on chanting about the impossible in his mouth.

At this moment, County princess Hui Ning suddenly rushed forward and snatched the two handkerchiefs from Yun Xiao’s hands, fiercely throwing them on the ground. However, doing so did not relieve the anger of County princess Hui Ning. She walked forward and ruthlessly crushed the two handkerchiefs under her feet. She looked at Yun Xiao proudly and said sternly, “Yun Xiao, you’re lying. That handkerchief is yours!”

On the other side, Zhou Jingyan, who had been sitting on the chair, saw what County Lord Hui Ning had done. A harsh look flashed in his eyes. He wished he could go forward and strangle County Lord Hui Ning to death. This woman was not a failure!

Wasn’t she warning Father Emperor that this handkerchief was her doing?

At this time, when Zhou Jingxu saw County Lord Hui Ning’s subconscious movements, a trace of pride flashed through his eyes.

She walked out from behind Zhou Jingchen and stood not far from Yun Xiao. She cupped her hands and respectfully said, “Reporting to father, I have something to report!”

“What is it?” Looking at the scene in the Imperial Study, even a fool could clearly see what was going on today.

However, no matter what, county princess Hui Ning was the eldest princess’ beloved daughter.

Thinking of this, the Jin Emperor really had a headache.

Zhou Jingxu cupped his hands and said respectfully, “Father, this son wishes to invite you to meet a few people!”

“Who is it? Bring them in!” The Jin Emperor rubbed his eyebrows. Originally, he thought it was Zhou Jingxu’s joke, but seeing Zhou Jingxu’s serious expression, the Jin Emperor knew that this was no small matter.

The Jin Emperor was familiar with Zhou Jingxu’s temperament and was usually the most troublesome, but he was never ambiguous about what was right and what was wrong. “Bring someone in first.”

He turned around and looked at County Lord Hui Ning, who was in a state of madness. His expression was cold and he snorted coldly before he said, “County Lord, you’re not feeling well. Stay and rest for now.”

Hearing this, Eunuch Wei immediately walked to County Lord Hui Ning’s side and whispered, “County Lord, please.”

County Lord Hui Ning looked up at Eunuch Wei blankly. He looked in the direction of Eunuch Wei’s fingers and shook his head firmly. “I’m not leaving.”

Eunuch Wei frowned. Just as he was about to continue his persuasion, he heard a clear voice behind him. “Eunuch Wei, since county princess Hui Ning is unwilling to leave, then don’t leave. Besides, there is still some relationship between the matter and county princess. County princess is better off on the spot.”

Eunuch Wei looked at the Jin Emperor with an embarrassed expression. The Jin Emperor frowned and said with displeasure, “Since that’s the case, let the imperial physician take a look at county princess Hui Ning first.”

If he was in a crazy state when he left the palace, Eldest Princess Changping would definitely continue to make trouble in front of him.

With the words of the Jin Emperor, the imperial physician who was waiting on the side immediately walked over. With the help of Eunuch Wei, he finally allowed County Lord Hui Ning to sit down and take his pulse.

Only then did Yun Xiao’s indifferent eyes look at the man sitting on the chair with an ashen complexion, his gaze carrying a faint mockery.

The four eyes met, and an invisible contest began between the two of them. No one was willing to surrender, and no one was willing to admit defeat easily.

Right at this moment, the door of the Imperial Study was pushed open again. A few guards came in under their pressure. All of them were wearing black clothes. However, their clothes were tattered and there were already many wounds, and those wounds were also scabbed.

After these people entered the Imperial Study Room, they stood in the middle and were unwilling to kneel.

The Imperial Guards behind them kicked these people and said loudly, “Kneel down!”
