Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 343

Chapter 343 Requesting A Body Search
After eating breakfast, tidying up, and cleaning up the room, it was already two hours later.

Yun Xiao fell on her chair, not wanting to move. Just now, she was still choking with Rong Jin and said that she wanted to find another room to live in. Her heroic ambitions were instantly forgotten by Yun Xiao.

If she were to find another room to live in, she would have to tidy it up for two to three hours, just like this room. She couldn’t bear it anymore.

Coupled with the fact that both her and Rong Jin’s hands were injured, they couldn’t touch the water. Because the wound on their hands had already ruptured when they were just cleaned up, they naturally wouldn’t clean up another room.

Rong Jin sat opposite Yun Xiao. Seeing that Yun Xiao did not conceal her exhaustion at all and that her forehead was covered with fine and dense beads of sweat, he took a handkerchief and wiped away all the beads of sweat on Yun Xiao’s forehead. This series of movements was familiar and natural, as if he had done it a thousand times.

Yun Xiao stared blankly at the man opposite her. In that instant, what happened?

Rong Jin didn’t seem to notice Yun Xiao’s unusual behavior. He pulled Yun Xiao’s injured hand over and placed it in front of him. Looking at the cloth wrapping the wound, he saw that it had already been stained with blood, and a trace of self-blame appeared in his eyebrows.

He untied the cloth on his finger and saw that the wound was tense and there was no sign of healing. His thick eyebrows knitted tightly.

He took out the wound medicine from his bosom, took out the medicine for Yun Xiao’s hand, took out the gauze from his sleeve, and wrapped his fingers around Yun Xiao again. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

The pain coming from the wound made Yun Xiao regain her senses. The corner of her mouth also had a faint peculiarity. Seeing that Rong Jin did not seem to care about what had just happened, she frowned slightly. She seemed petty.

Seeing that he was holding the medicine in his hand, he asked softly, “Where did this medicine come from?”

Rong Jin’s voice was still the same as before. It didn’t cause the slightest ripple, but it secretly surprised Yun Xiao. She didn’t expect that Rong Jin would actually use the medicine from the Imperial Mausoleum.

Just as Yun Xiao was about to speak, Rong Jin had already undone the cloth on her wrist. Because of the intense activity earlier, the wound on her wrist had already split open again. The opening was not big. After applying the medicine, she bandaged it up and let out a sigh of relief.

Seeing that Rong Jin had finally let go, Yun Xiao’s gaze landed on Rong Jin’s left hand. The cloth in his hand had already been dyed wet with blood. One red and one white, it was like clusters of bright plum blossoms blooming in the snow.

Yun Xiao frowned and looked at the calm-faced man, “Do you still have any medicine?”

Rong Jin nodded and took out another bottle of medicine from his bosom.

Yun Xiao took the medicine and untied the bandage on Yun Xiao’s hand, revealing her fleshy hand. It was shocking, and the broken flesh also hit her body, causing Yun Xiao’s brows to frown tightly. She quickly applied medicine to Rong Jin and changed into gauze. Only then did Yun Xiao breathe a sigh of relief.

The two of them ate the lunch that Rong Jin brought back. After resting for a while, they decided to go out and search for information first. They couldn’t just stay in this courtyard.

If he found the immortal herb earlier, he would also be able to find it.

Rong Jin was dressed in the clothes of a navy blue palace servant, while Yun Xiao was dressed as a palace maid. The two of them left the courtyard together and walked towards the courtyard in front of them. However, they were only halfway through the courtyard when a father-in-law blocked their way.

The father-in-law sized up Yun Xiao and Rong Jin and felt that something was amiss. He thought that it was someone who had just been sent in yesterday and said, “You two, hurry up and come over.” Every season, the imperial palace would send some palace people and maids into the imperial mausoleum. Yesterday was just the right day to send people here.

Yun Xiao and Rong Jin exchanged a glance. They both saw a hint of vigilance in each other’s eyes, but they knew that now was not the right time to reveal their identities. They could only follow the back of the father-in-law.

The two of them followed to a courtyard. There were a few buckets of water in the courtyard. It was water that they had just drawn. Eunuch arrogantly instructed Yun Xiao and Rong Jin to carry the bucket of water. When he looked at Yun Xiao, he saw that Yun Xiao’s expression was elegant and rare. Her tone was slightly better. “Go and get those cloth towels.”

Yun Xiao and Rong Jin exchanged a glance. According to their father-in-law’s instructions, the wooden bucket that carried the wooden bucket, the cloth towel that held the cloth towel, and the cloth towel that held the cloth towel. However, the wooden bucket used a shoulder pole and hung a wooden bucket in front of them and behind them.

Seeing that the two of them were obedient, Eunuch smiled and said, “You two know some rules. Unlike the one just now, if you want to do something, you have to run to the bathroom. Follow me quickly.”

Yun Xiao and Rong Jin followed suit. Very quickly, Eunuch brought Yun Xiao and Rong Jin out of the palace gate because it was convenient for Eunuch to have a token. However, when they passed by the palace gate, the words of those guards attracted Yun Xiao and Rong Jin’s attention.

“Eunuch Mao is going out again. It’s been hard work.”

“This mountain road is so far, I have to trouble Eunuch Mao again. Do you need our help?”

Eunuch Mao snorted coldly, “What help? Aren’t you all just curious about what that grass looks like? You still want to hide it from me?”

“Eunuch Mao’s eyes are as sharp as torches. We’ve been guarding this place for so long, but we’ve only heard of its name. Isn’t this curious?”

“When Eunuch comes back, why don’t you take one and show it to us? Let’s have a long look.”

Eunuch Mao’s expression wasn’t worried, but he couldn’t conceal his pride. He enjoyed the day when he was praised by everyone. “Alright, alright, alright. The day has arrived. It can’t be too late. I’ll go first.”

After leaving the palace gate for a distance, Yun Xiao and Rong Jin exchanged a glance. Could it be that Eunuch Mao wanted to bring them to see the immortal herb?

However, the hope in their eyes dissipated. There were many strange grasses in the imperial mausoleum. Who knew what kind of grasses they were going to see?

However, such an opportunity should not be missed.

Yun Xiao quickly took a few steps and walked with Eunuch Mao. She whispered, “Eunuch Mao, where are we going? Why are we still going outside the palace? Since we are guarding the Imperial Mausoleum, isn’t everything inside?”

Eunuch Mao felt bored along the way. Seeing Yun Xiao talking to him, even if he said, “You just came, it’s understandable that you don’t know. You don’t know, the more precious the things outside the Imperial Mausoleum are.”

Yun Xiao immediately became a little more interested, but she said in a tone of disbelief, “How precious can it be? Could it be more precious than the things in the palace? When I came in yesterday, I saw so many good things in the palace that my eyes were dazzled.”

She laughed at Eunuch Mao in a coquettish tone. “You’ll know how precious it is when you get there. It’s something that can’t even be bought with silver.”

Seeing that Eunuch Mao didn’t say anything, Yun Xiao had no other choice but to follow behind Eunuch Mao and continue walking forward. However, the more the three of them walked, the more remote the path became, causing Yun Xiao and Rong Jin’s eyes to tightly lift up.

Not long after, Yun Xiao saw Eunuch Mao, who was leading the way, suddenly stop. She immediately moved closer and said, “Why isn’t Eunuch Mao leaving?”

Eunuch Mao warned her, “There’s a formation here. You two follow my footsteps.” After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Rong Jin and said with a smile, “You newcomer are sincere. You haven’t lost much water and haven’t spoken much along the way.” Every time he called for someone to come with him, when the water came here, the water would almost go out.

Yun Xiao looked at Eunuch Mao with a shocked expression, “Eunuch Mao, why is there a formation here? If you accidentally enter, what will happen?”

“If you accidentally enter, you will only die. Follow me closely, wherever I go, you will go.” After he finished speaking, he took out a small bottle and poured out three pills. He took one and gave one to Yun Xiao and Rong Jin. “If you swallow this medicine, you will suffer less later.”

Yun Xiao and Rong Jin answered one after another. After taking the medicine, Yun Xiao first looked at Rong Jin and saw that Rong Jin nodded at him. Only then did she swallow the medicine.

He followed Eunuch Mao forward. Just as he took a step forward, he discovered that the scene in front of him had been repeated. A red mist suddenly appeared in front of him. This mist was very large, and he inhaled a lot of red mist in his breath. Just as he inhaled some, Yun Xiao began to cough violently.

When Eunuch Mao heard the cough coming from behind him, he turned his head and looked back. He frowned and said, “Fortunately, I took the antidote before. This red mist is poisonous. Now, I only cough a few times. I’ll be fine after I return to recuperate. I’ll give you another antidote, and the mist inside will become thicker and thicker.”

Yun Xiao hurriedly reached out to receive the antidote. Now, as long as she touched the poison, her body would be infected. This time, it was not only a cough, there was also a trace of burning sensation in her body. She naturally did not dare to joke with her body. After swallowing it, she calmly frowned and looked at Rong Jin, wanting to ask him what exactly this was.

Rong Jin said a few words to Yun Xiao silently. Yun Xiao then lowered her eyebrows. Taking advantage of Eunuch Mao’s carelessness, she stuffed a pill into Yun Xiao’s mouth. After Yun Xiao swallowed it, she felt that the pain in her body had dissipated a little. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.

She continued to follow Eunuch Mao. It was really as Eunuch Mao had said. The further she went, the more red mist became. Yun Xiao had no choice but to use one hand to hold the wooden basin and soft towel, and the other hand to cover her nose and mouth.

However, the effect was negligible.

Eunuch Mao didn’t expect Yun Xiao’s system to be so bad. He immediately gave her another antidote. “If I knew you were so useless, I wouldn’t have called you out. After taking so many medicines, if I died here later, I wouldn’t even have a corpse collector.”

Yun Xiao’s body trembled. Even though she said, “I’m fine, I can still follow.”

Eunuch Mao coldly snorted and continued to lead the way. Rong Jin quickly took a few steps forward and grabbed Yun Xiao’s hand. Then, he secretly injected internal force into Yun Xiao to relieve her pain.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, when Yun Xiao felt that she was about to lose her strength, the red fog finally dissipated a little. When she walked out of the fog, she saw the entrance of the cave where the heavy soldier was holding onto.

At this moment, a guard quickly walked over and sized up the three of them. Then, he said loudly, “Eunuch Mao, why did you change the people you brought today?”

Eunuch Mao immediately smiled and said, “Greetings, General Liu. I don’t want to bring any rookies. However, those few days, you little bastard didn’t want to come with me. Once today, you slipped faster than a rabbit. I couldn’t find anyone, so I just caught two people.”

General Liu snorted coldly and sized up Yun Xiao and Rong Jin before saying, “Since you’re here, search yourself according to the rules!”

Yun Xiao was secretly shocked. This place was filled with men, how could she search herself? Moreover, Rong Jin had quite a few things with him. If he were to be searched, wouldn’t all those things be found?

At the same time, he wondered in his heart, what kind of place was this? To think that the requirements would be so strict?
