Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 322
Chapter 322 It’s A Deal
Chun Mei immediately said loudly, “Young lady, the Seventh Prince’s horse is dead. Now that he has pulled the horse to our mansion, what should we do? Master and Madam are in a dilemma right now.”
Yun Xiao was slightly stunned. She thought that something had happened in the Imperial Palace, but why did the Seventh Prince’s horse have anything to do with her?
Yun Xiao only felt that her head was somewhat unable to keep up. These things were really too messy.
Seeing that Yun Xiao didn’t seem to have any impression of him, Qing Mo frowned and said, “Young lady, two days ago we met the Seventh Prince’s horse madness in the street. I had no intention of poisoning that horse. At that time, you asked Chun Lan to send half of the antidote back, but the antidote hasn’t been delivered.”
Yun Xiao’s expression changed slightly. So many things happened yesterday. She originally wanted to wait until the matter with the Shen Clan was resolved before sending the antidote over. Anyway, Qing Mo said that since the antidote could cure half of the poison, it could last for a few days without any accidents.
Moreover, the antidote was not in his hands now, it was in Rong Jin’s.
Who knew that after seeing the scene of the Shen Clan beheading her head yesterday, she fainted from the poison and hadn’t remembered this matter until now.
That was why he was delayed for a day.
However, “Qing Mo, didn’t you say that the antidote would last for a few days? This is only the third day.”
Qing Mo also frowned. “This servant also doesn’t know that the antidote can indeed last for a few days. It definitely won’t be so poisonous.”
The corner of Yun Xiao’s mouth twitched fiercely, and her expression was a little embarrassed. In addition, she did not rest well, so her spirits were not very good.
Chun Lan also heard about this matter and immediately ran back. Seeing Yun Xiao, she said loudly, “Miss, something happened, something happened …”
Yun Xiao frowned and looked at Chun Lan, “Tell me, did you deliver the antidote I asked you to deliver two days ago?”
Chun Lan immediately nodded, Raising his hands in his ears, He said respectfully, “Young lady, this servant dares to gamble with her life, This servant really sent the antidote, “Not only is the seventh prince here, but also the Imperial Cuisine Room’s Cao Yu Chef is here. This servant just asked around and said that the seventh prince asked the Imperial Cuisine Room’s Imperial Cuisine Room to cook for his horse to eat. I didn’t expect that after eating the food from the Imperial Cuisine Room, the Seventh Prince would poison his hair. The Seventh Prince pressed the Imperial Cao Yu Chef to come to the manor to find a girl.”
The corner of Yun Xiao’s mouth twitched slightly. She only felt that her brain seemed to be unable to respond.
How could anything be related to her?
After Chun Lan finished speaking, she secretly looked at Yun Xiao’s expression and said, “Miss, the Seventh Prince said, please go to the front yard.”
No wonder the young lady didn’t want to stay in the palace. This troublesome matter was simply endless. They were so far away from the palace that they could be implicated. If they were in the palace, they wouldn’t be able to peel off their skin.
When Yun Xiao saw this, she knew that Yun Maozhe and Madam Lu were unable to withstand it anymore. In addition, this matter had something to do with her. Yun Xiao could only forcefully support herself and said, “Since that’s the case, let’s go and take a look.”
The Seventh Prince had brought Imperial Kitchen’s men to the mansion. If she did not show up, not only would she not give the Seventh Prince face, the entire capital would probably think that she was being arrogant because of her favor.
However, Yun Xiao’s mind started to spin.
Yesterday, she had just poisoned herself, but today, the Seventh Prince came to the manor. Did someone intentionally implicate her in this matter? The matter of the Seventh Prince coming to the manor wanted to anger her to death as soon as possible? By the way, could he really not survive yesterday’s poison and die on the spot?
When Yun Xiao thought about it, she felt that it was very reasonable. If that was the case, such a thing could really happen. The people behind the scenes had deep schemes.
Of course, Yun Xiao also admired the person who could come up with such an idea.
This person’s scheming was definitely more powerful than his own.
When she thought of Xiao Yuqi’s methods in her previous life, the corner of her mouth curled into a trace of mockery.
I didn’t expect that county princess Hui Ning had just been locked up when Xiao Yuqi came out.
Since that was the case, how could she hide behind him and not go out to see the world?
When Chun Lan and Chun Mei saw that Yun Xiao was going out, they immediately ran into the room and put on a cape for Yun Xiao before saying, “Young lady, your body isn’t well yet. Do you want to find a soft sedan chair?” Although the Rose Courtyard was not far from the main courtyard, Yun Xiao’s body was not very good.
Yun Xiao shook her head, “No need, let’s hurry up and take a look.” She might really be fine. Moreover, when the Seven Palaces came down from Yun Mansion, she would be even worse off if she sat in a soft sedan chair. What she didn’t know was that she thought that she was deliberately trying to lose face to His Highness the Seventh Prince.
When Qing Mo saw Yun Xiao walk out, he took the initiative to walk over and said, “Miss, this servant will carry you on your back. Your body has only just recovered a little. You cannot catch a cold. Otherwise, this poison will easily break out again.”
Yun Xiao’s expression was slightly solemn. This time, she did not refuse. She cherished her life, so she would not gamble with her own life.
Moreover, when the poison broke out, it could simply take a person’s life. If it could reduce the incidence of the poison, she would naturally be willing to reduce it.
The group of people hurriedly entered the main courtyard. When they approached the main courtyard gate, Yun Xiao had Qing Mo let them down. Because Qing Mo’s pace was extremely fast, it only took half an incense stick of time to arrive. Normally, it would take him half an hour to walk this path.
Yun Xiao first tidied up her clothes and brought Qing Mo into the main courtyard. As for Chun Lan and Chun Mei, their pace was a little slower, so they were still halfway there.
Yun Xiao and the others quickly entered the main courtyard. They saw a horse lying on the ground in the living room. The horse lay motionless on the ground, as if it was on the verge of death.
Yun Maozhe and Madam Lu were sitting at the bottom of the table. The person sitting on the main seat was a youth wearing a silver robe. The youth had a handsome face, a tall and upright figure, and a face like a crown jade. However, there was an unconcealable anger in his eyes. When Yun Xiao saw this, she could already recognize him. This was the Seventh Prince who had met her once.
On the other side was Cao Bingrong, who was wearing a dark blue robe. After not seeing him for a few days, Cao Bingrong’s unrestrained and calm expression had grown a little bit more anxious. He frowned invisibly and looked worried.
Yun Xiao slowly walked in with Qing Mo and bowed respectfully, “The commoner Yun Xiao greets His Highness the Seventh Prince.”
Zhou Jingrui sat in the main seat without saying a word. His entire body was constantly emitting a cold pressure that made people feel awe-inspiring. Only when he looked at the Wind Flame Horse lying on the ground did his sharp eyes show a trace of tenderness. However, before that tenderness appeared, it was replaced by a wisp of anger.
Zhou Jingrui heard a woman’s voice and looked at the person. The woman was wearing a plain white dress with plum blossoms embroidered on the hem. As the woman slowly walked over, it was as if she was stepping on the plum blossom, attracting people’s attention.
However, Zhou Jingrui’s eyes suddenly narrowed. How could it be her?
The woman who had met once on the street that day was actually the Yun Clan’s fourth young lady who had lost her reputation in the capital?
He remembered the woman he saw that day. His expression was high and he was dazzled. If he hadn’t seen her today, he wouldn’t have recognized her as Yun Xiao. However, Zhou Jingrui’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Are you the current Manager of Imperial Kitchen?”
When Yun Xiao was looking at Zhou Jingrui, she was also looking at Zhou Jingrui. Seeing that he was speaking like this, she lowered her eyebrows and said respectfully, “It’s a civilian girl.”
After she finished speaking, she turned her gaze to the horse in the living room, with a strange look in her eyes. “Qing Mo, go and see how the horse is doing.” If it wasn’t for her previous life, Yun Xiao definitely wouldn’t have regarded a horse as so important.
However, in Zhou Jingrui’s previous life, Yun Xiao knew very well about the matter of the capital being stirred up by a horse. Therefore, she did not want to encounter the scene of her previous life again. It was as if someone had actually pushed the horse’s death onto her.
Qing Mo cupped his hands at Yun Xiao and walked towards the horse called Wind Flame.
Seeing Yun Xiao’s calm expression, Yun Maozhe heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. However, he still walked forward with a slightly ashamed expression. “Xiaoxiao, can you hold on?”
Yun Xiao only smiled calmly to reassure Yun Maozhe. Then, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Zhou Jingrui with a confident expression. “Your Highness, the commoner girl relies on you as the seventh prince. If the commoner girl can prove that I didn’t kill this horse, what should Your Highness do?”
“What a clever girl. The day before yesterday, your maid poisoned my horse. Now that the horse is poisoned, who else could it be if you didn’t do it? Don’t argue!” Zhou Jingrui had never been contradicted like this before. Now, he felt uneasy in his heart when facing Yun Xiao’s pair of unyielding eyes.
However, Yun Xiao ignored his words and only said loudly, “If His Highness the Seventh Prince’s horse really died because of the poison attack the day before yesterday, I will naturally apologize to His Highness. If His Highness the Seventh Prince does not ask about it, he will directly carry the horse to my mansion to ask for punishment. Please apologize to me in public!”
Although Yun Xiao’s voice was not loud, it was loud and powerful. Especially her ethereal and clear voice, which splashed into everyone’s hearts like pieces of chess pieces, brought about all sorts of strange feelings.
Zhou Jingrui suddenly raised his head and looked straight at the woman in front of him. His pair of dark jade-like eyes carried a trace of invisible admiration, but he was not angry. He said with a strong voice, “Alright, just as Fourth Young Lady Yun said!”
Yun Xiao looked into Jing Rui’s eyes last week. A flash of light flashed in the depths of her eyes. Then, she said, “It’s a deal!”
After she finished speaking, she lowered her head to look at Qing Mo with a calm expression, “Qing Mo, how was your examination?”
Qing Mo slowly withdrew his hand from Feng Yan’s body. A trace of surprise appeared on his iceberg-like beautiful face. Then, he raised his head to look at Yun Xiao, his gaze carrying a hint of doubt. Then, he said, “Young lady, this horse seems to be dead, but it’s not dead yet.”
