Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 276
Chapter 276 Disciplinary Action
After everyone in the Imperial Study heard Eunuch Wei’s words, they all looked at Eunuch Wei who had just run into the Imperial Study.
Eunuch Wei gasped for breath. Before he could speak, he immediately took out a medicine bottle from his bosom and said while panting, “The antidote, the antidote is here.”
When Yun Xiao saw this, a trace of mockery arose in her heart. Gujing Wubo’s eyes looked at the man opposite her.
He pinched the time accurately. Just as he pleaded for county princess Hui Ning, the one who delivered the antidote came?
The Jin Emperor looked at the antidote in Eunuch Wei’s hand, but he didn’t give it to Zhou Jingyan immediately. Instead, he looked at the imperial physician and said, “Check first. Is this antidote right?”
The imperial physician didn’t dare to refuse. He immediately walked over and took the medicine bottle. He opened it and inspected the branch for a while. Finally, he came to the conclusion that the antidote could diagnose and treat the poison on Zhou Jingyan’s body.
The Jin Emperor was delighted and urged, “Since you can treat the symptoms, then quickly give the Third Highness the antidote.”
The imperial physician answered and poured the medicine into Zhou Jingyan’s mouth. After Zhou Jingyan swallowed it, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
However, Zhou Jingxu also looked over curiously and asked curiously, “Why is this antidote so perfect?”
These words were obviously asked by Eunuch Wei.
Eunuch Wei raised his sleeve and wiped his forehead. Sweat leaked out, ‘”Just as I was about to leave, I happened to meet a guard in the palace. From the looks of it, the guard looked extremely anxious. This old servant went up to ask him about it and found out that the guard belonged to His Highness the Third Prince’s mansion. The guard said that the antidote was found in the house of the doctor who poisoned His Highness the Third Prince, so he immediately sent it back to His Highness the Third Prince.”
After Zhou Jingxu heard this, a trace of anger immediately appeared on Wen Ya’s small face. He snorted coldly and said, “How dare you! Eunuch Wei, do you know your sin?”
Eunuch Wei didn’t know why, but he immediately knelt down and respectfully said, “Ninth Prince, forgive me.”
Zhou Jingyan looked at Zhou Jingxu’s appearance and clearly had some doubts. His expression was cold, “Ninth Brother, what crime did Eunuch Wei commit? He actually caused Ninth Brother to explode into rage? Could it be that Ninth Brother doesn’t want to see me recover?”
Yun Xiao coldly watched this scene. Zhou Jingyan had just eaten the antidote and was about to die again.
Gu Jing Wu Bo’s eyes carried traces of anticipation, filled with anticipation for Zhou Jing Xu’s next words.
And the Jin Emperor did not know where Zhou Jingxu’s anger came from. Hearing Zhou Jingyan’s words, his gaze towards Zhou Jingxu was slightly unnatural. “Xu’er, tell me why you’re angry?”
Zhou Jingxu’s gaze was cold. Before speaking, At first, he gave Zhou Jingyan a look of blessing. “Father, it’s not that I want to get angry, but Eunuch Wei. I remember that Eunuch Wei went to the house of the doctor who poisoned Third Brother and searched it. When Eunuch Wei came back to report that he didn’t find the antidote.”
After he finished speaking, he was stunned to see the people who had just seen Zhou Jingyan’s peculiar expression.
He kept thinking about Zhou Jingxu’s words, and what he said made sense.
Zhou Jingxu ignored the gazes of these people and continued, “Eunuch Wei can’t find the antidote. If Third Brother’s people go, they can find the antidote. It clearly means that Eunuch Wei didn’t care about Third Brother’s life! It must be Eunuch Wei’s fault for torturing Third Brother for so long.”
Everyone looked at Eunuch Wei in unison. Eunuch Wei lowered his head awkwardly and said respectfully, “It was Old Servant’s fault. I didn’t properly inspect the room. Please forgive me, Your Majesty and His Highness the Ninth Prince.”
Zhou Jingxu turned around and snorted coldly, his gaze carrying a faint hint of anger.
However, the moment Zhou Jingxu turned around and looked at Zhou Jingyan, a trace of pride flashed in his eyes when he saw Zhou Jingyan.
Since he dares to speak ill of me in front of Father Emperor, he doesn’t mind returning the favor.
Everyone’s gazes were slightly blurred. At this moment, their gazes towards Zhou Jingyan were slightly strange.
Eunuch Wei was a celebrity in front of the Jin Emperor. Since he could do this, he would definitely not make such a mistake.
However, when he went to the doctor who poisoned His Highness the third prince, he found the antidote. He couldn’t help but suspect that the antidote was placed there by His Highness the third prince. He was just waiting for it to be taken out.
This time, it was just the right time to design all of them into this case.
At this time, Zhou Jingchen finally made a move. He strode in front of Zhou Jingyan and placed his hand on his shoulder. He said loudly, “Third Brother, I believe you won’t do such a thing.”
Along with Zhou Jingchen’s words came Zhou Jingxu’s extremely disdainful cold snort.
Such a scene of respectful brotherhood could not help but make people think too much about it.
Zhou Jingchen’s words were clearly good words, but they confirmed everyone’s speculation. It turned out that the Third Highness had really stolen it from him, so he deserved to be poisoned.
Naturally, these people didn’t dare to say these words. They were just cursing in their hearts.
However, when Zhou Jingyan saw that everyone’s faces had completely changed, he was extremely angry, but there was nothing he could do about it.
At this moment, the Jin Emperor also looked at him thoughtfully. He looked at Eunuch Wei, who had been kneeling on the ground, and said loudly, “Eunuch Wei has sent off three months’ salary. Since the Third Prince’s body is unwell, he is better off recuperating in the manor. Don’t come out and blow the wind.” In addition, I will send a team of imperial guards to protect the Third Prince from any disturbance. This matter will end here. Don’t talk about it again in the future. ”
After hearing the Jin Emperor’s words, everyone drank a mouthful of cold air and their expressions changed.
Eunuch Wei’s punishment of three months’ salary had already been forgotten by everyone, but it was only in the future that his words made everyone even more shocked.
The reason for that was because even though the Jin Emperor was extremely polite, he wanted to imprison the Third Prince.
The expressions on everyone’s faces were different, and their gazes towards Zhou Jingyan were slightly different.
Zhou Jingyan didn’t expect that Haosheng’s drama would end up like this. He was furious, and he didn’t expect that the Jin Emperor would lock him up.
What happened today was truly unexpected.
However, Zhou Jingyan’s mansion was extremely high, Although his heart was filled with dissatisfaction and anger, his face didn’t show any signs of leakage. He supported his body and spent a lot of effort to stand up. He respectfully bowed to the Jin Emperor and greeted him, “Thank you, Father Emperor, for your understanding. However, if I wanted to say something, I wouldn’t admit anything that I haven’t done.”
His expression was calm, but when he said those few words, his voice was loud. After he finished saying those words, he suddenly fainted.
The imperial physician immediately cried out in alarm. He walked forward and helped Zhou Jingyan up, “Third Prince, Third Prince …”
After shouting a few times, Zhou Jingyan did not show any signs of waking up.
Yun Xiao looked at this scene with an indifferent expression, as if all of this had nothing to do with her. However, when she saw Zhou Jingyan’s fingers move undetectable, a strange look flashed in Gujing Wubo’s eyes.
After giving Zhou Jingxu a look, Zhou Jingxu immediately understood. He immediately ran to Zhou Jingyan worriedly and said loudly, “Third Brother, what happened to you? Why did you faint so well?”
After he finished speaking, he scolded the imperial physician, “Aren’t you going to treat Third Brother properly? At that time, you were right next to Third Brother, making Third Brother so excited. Why didn’t you advise him?”
The imperial physician had a hard time speaking, but the person who said this was Zhou Jingxu, the Jin Emperor’s favorite prince. The imperial physician could only swallow his dissatisfaction.
Zhou Jingxu immediately walked in front of Zhou Jingyan. However, he walked too fast for a moment and did not stop. Instead, he stepped on Zhou Jingyan’s hand.
Zhou Jingxu quietly stomped on Cai and then ruthlessly crushed his foot before he withdrew his foot. He said apologetically, “Third Brother, I’m really sorry. It’s all because I spoke too straightforwardly.”
After he finished speaking, he quietly raised Zhou Jingyan’s hand and carefully hid it under the corner of his clothes.
At this time, Zhou Jingyan was only pretending to faint. He was trampled on by Zhou Jingxu, unable to speak or move. If Father Emperor found out that he was pretending to faint, the consequences would be even more serious.
The Jin Emperor looked at the crowd with an extremely embarrassed expression. When he looked at Zhou Jingyan’s expression, the worry in his eyes disappeared. He only said loudly, “Send the Third Prince back to the manor. Also, let the imperial physician treat the Third Prince as he pleases.”
Yun Xiao sighed. In the end, the Jin Emperor was still soft-hearted and wouldn’t attack Zhou Jingyan.
However, as a father, no one could say anything else about what the Jin Emperor had done.
Since the Jin Emperor had already spoken, the others naturally didn’t dare to say anything.
However, everyone knew that Zhou Jingyan had fainted in the palace. The Jin Emperor did not let Zhou Jingyan recuperate in the palace. Instead, he went back to the palace to treat his illness. This was clearly a chill in Zhou Jingyan’s heart.
Thinking of this, everyone naturally wouldn’t advise the Jin Emperor.
The Jin Emperor waved his hand with a tired expression, chasing everyone out.
Yun Xiao brought the maids Qing Mo and Chun Lan to breathe in the fresh air outside. A faint smile emerged from the corner of her mouth. It was better to have the air outside. The air inside was really too oppressive.
What Yun Xiao hated the most was the imperial palace, and she was afraid that she would be called to stay in the imperial palace. Therefore, she only wanted to leave the imperial palace first.
Thinking like this, Yun Xiao’s feet quickened and she quickly walked out of the palace gate.
Chun Lan looked at Yun Xiao, who was walking out quickly. She said worriedly, “Miss, slow down. You still have injuries on your body. If you walk so fast, if the wound is taut again, then it won’t be good at that time.”
However, Yun Xiao nodded and said loudly, “Got it. Let’s talk after we leave the palace. I feel uncomfortable in the palace.”
Chun Lan seemed to have thought of something strange, so she didn’t stop Yun Xiao anymore and quickly followed behind her.
Qing Mo watched as the master and servant walked quickly. A trace of curiosity flashed through his eyes. However, Qing Mo didn’t ask anything at this moment.
At this moment, before Yun Xiao could walk out of the Imperial Study Room, she heard a powerful voice from behind her, “Fourth Young Lady, please wait a step.”
When Yun Xiao heard this voice, her face turned pale and her expression became slightly unnatural. However, she did not have the slightest intention of stopping. Instead, she brought the maidservant along with her and walked faster and faster.
