Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 354
Chapter 354 Willful Once
In the courtyard, Rong Jin suddenly sat up from his bed, his face turning green and pale, and he was extremely embarrassed.
He reached out and covered his heart tightly. He had actually dreamed of Yun Xiao just now.
He dreamed that Yun Xiao wasn’t dead, but he kept bumping his head on the wall. A bright red color started to flow down from above her head. A dazzling look slid across her face. She suddenly turned her head and smiled strangely at him. But when he walked over to pull her, she continued bumping her head as if she didn’t react at all.
Why would he have such a dream?
Rong Jin clutched his chest tightly. He closed his eyes. A strange look flashed in his deep eyes. Then, he felt his chest rise again. He didn’t check it for a while and couldn’t suppress it any longer. He spat out another mouthful of dirty blood.
Seeing the black blood on the ground, Rong Jin’s expression remained the same. He calmly picked up the handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth. However, very quickly, all the strange expressions turned into a bitter smile.
Rong Jin took out a small jade bottle from his bosom, looked at the traces on the bottle, and finally put the small porcelain bottle away.
Still unwilling to take the antidote.
However, when he placed the item high, he suddenly touched a small golden token and took a look before his eyes. His sharp eyes suddenly narrowed dangerously.
“Someone!”
With that, Jiang Qing pushed open the door and walked in. Seeing that Rong Jin was indeed standing not far from him, a trace of joy appeared on his face. He bowed respectfully and greeted, “Master, are you awake?”
Rong Jin only thanked Jiang Qing. Seeing that Jiang Qing had brought the medicine in, he sat down and said, “How is the Third Prince’s Mansion now?” Ever since he returned from the Mausoleum Mountain, Rong Jin had been keeping his eyes on the Third Prince’s Mansion ever since he obtained the gold medal.
Jiang Qing told her everything she knew. “The Third Prince’s Mansion did have some hidden guards. However, none of them came back. Today, the Jin Emperor was so angry that he stopped breathing because of the burning of the Imperial Mausoleum. However, he was still rescued in the end. The Third Prince had already sent people out of the capital. If what he had guessed was correct, the Third Prince should have sent for a miraculous doctor.”
The Jin Emperor’s body was already withered. Even if there was a miraculous doctor, he probably wouldn’t be able to last long. However, the Third Prince was the son of the Jin Emperor. If the miraculous doctor could help the Jin Emperor’s body recover, the Jin Emperor would probably change his view of the Third Prince.
Rong Jin naturally knew this. “Do you know which doctor the Third Prince sent for?”
Jiang Qing thought for a moment. “If we follow the route of the Third Prince’s Manor’s hidden guards, we should invite Miraculous Physician Yu from Qingcheng Mountain. Miraculous Physician Yu’s medical skills are superb. Perhaps he can really save the Jin Emperor.”
Rong Jin’s eyes narrowed slightly. “How is the Seventh Prince now?”
“After this subordinate and the others rescued the Seventh Prince, the Seventh Prince returned. He went to the Yun Clan to bring the Wind Flame Horse back as well. This is also an illness in the Imperial Palace.”
“Where is His Highness the Crown Prince?”
“His Highness the Crown Prince is also in the palace waiting for illness.”
“Go tell the Seventh Prince and His Highness the Crown Prince about the Third Prince’s visit to the Divine Doctor. The remaining two know what to do.” Killing intent flashed through Rong Jin’s deep black eyes. He didn’t expect that the most terrifying person in the Eastern Jin Dynasty would be the Third Prince. Since the Third Prince had appeared at the Mausoleum Mountain, he must have known everything he had done.
However, Rong Jin was glad that Zhou Jingyan did not know his identity.
Jiang Qing listened to Rong Jin’s instructions, and a faint smile appeared on her face. With the Jin Emperor, the Eastern Jin Dynasty would be in chaos. In addition, the princes would also be competing for the throne. At that time, the entire Eastern Jin Dynasty would be in a state of upheaval.
To them, the West Vietnam was the most advantageous place in the chaotic times, “Yes!”
“Wait!” Just as his figure was about to disappear from the room, Rong Jin called Jiang Qing again and said loudly, “Is there anything unusual in the Third Prince’s Mansion these past two days? Or did you invite a doctor?”
Rong Jin didn’t know why he suddenly asked such a question. He only felt as if he had gone mad. However, when he asked, he didn’t even realize that his eyes were filled with unconcealable hope.
He had flipped through a lot of books today, but when he couldn’t find them and was about to give up, he suddenly discovered something that made him curious. There was once a secretary who tossed something into the lake, but he couldn’t find it no matter what, but he found it in another lake. This was exactly the same as what happened that night.
He couldn’t figure it out, He had clearly seen Yun Xiao fall into the lake below the cliff with his own eyes, But why did He Yunxiao appear in the lake outside the mountains? It turned out that the lake was actually the same as the one recorded in the book. The lake clearly looked like a dead lake, surrounded by mountains on all sides, and there was no water source. However, the water was living water. Every once in a while, the water there would flow at a specific time and change the water inside.
If that was the case, then Yun Xiao was transferred outside when the living water was exchanged for water. At that time, there were hidden guards from the Third Prince’s Mansion searching for traces of them.
Perhaps Yun Xiao did not die, but was taken away by the people from the Third Prince’s Mansion, deliberately creating the illusion that Yun Xiao was already dead.
In this way, everything made sense.
Today, it was only after thinking about this matter that Rong Jin had people staring at the Third Prince’s Mansion. It was also time for him to rest. He dreamed about the news that Yun Xiao was still alive, so deep down in his heart, he could not conceal his hope.
Jiang Qing thought for a moment before he said, “This subordinate heard from the hidden guard that the people of the Third Prince’s Mansion did invite an imperial physician from the palace today, and that imperial physician never came out after entering the Third Prince’s Mansion. Do you have any instructions, Master?”
After listening to Jiang Qing’s words, Rong Jin’s deep eyes were filled with unconcealable joy. The flickering light made Rong Jin’s eyes look like stars in the night sky.
His hand holding the spoon couldn’t help but tremble. In this way, Yun Xiao might really not be dead, but she was taken away by the people of the Third Prince’s Mansion. That was why the Third Prince called the imperial physician to the Third Prince’s Mansion.
Rong Jin had never been like this before, hoping that his guess was correct.
He calmed down, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. “Alright, continue to monitor every move of the Third Prince’s Mansion! No matter where the Third Prince goes, you must inform me of his whereabouts!”
Jiang Qing listened to Rong Jin’s instructions and a strange look appeared in her eyes. What happened to Master today?
The guards of the Third Prince’s Mansion were also very strict. They simply couldn’t rush into the Third Prince’s Mansion, let alone grasp the Third Prince’s movements.
However, before he could say anything, he saw Rong Jin suddenly say, “Forget it, I’ll go with you.”
Jiang Qing felt so shocked that his eyes almost popped out, “Master, are you still not well?”
Rong Jin waved his hand and said, “It’s fine. I know my body well and it’s fine.” Without seeing Yun Xiao, how could he be at ease?
Therefore, no matter what, he had to go with him today to take a look.
Jiang Qing’s expression turned ugly. He immediately turned around and knelt in front of Rong Jin. He respectfully said, “Master, this subordinate knows that you are worried about the safety of the Yun Family’s fourth young miss. However, the Yun Family’s fourth young miss is already dead. Please take care of yourself, Master. Little Master and His Highness the Crown Prince are still waiting for Master to return to West Vietnam!”
Rong Jin’s face suddenly stiffened. He had an ugly expression on his face. He was Rong Jin, and he was not alone! And Rong Ruo and Rong Xun!
Rong Jin’s eyes stiffened for an instant, and his expression changed from green to white. However, a trace of determination appeared in his eyes. “Retreat the people from the Ten Directions Palace as well.”
Hearing this, Jiang Qing’s expression relaxed a little. He thought that Rong Jin had figured it out. Even though he said respectfully, “Yes, this subordinate obeys!”
Rong Jin’en said and continued, “You stay here. If something happens to me, you will be in charge of everything in the Eastern Jin Dynasty!”
After he finished speaking, he walked out.
Jiang Qing was left standing there by himself. He looked at Rong Jin’s figure in disbelief as he continued to walk out. His eyes blinked slightly, and his expression carried a trace of disbelief.
Master actually wanted to abandon all the people from the Ten Directions Palace and go to the Third Prince alone to investigate, just for a woman?
Jiang Qing immediately followed and blocked Rong Jin’s figure. “Master, you can’t go!”
“Why?” Rong Jin’s expression was still faint, but because he had already figured it out, his expression became relaxed.
Jiang Qing hugged Rong Jin and said respectfully, “Master is the eldest prince of Xi Yue, and also the crown prince and the young master’s dependency. You can’t have any accidents, let alone the fact that Master is not feeling well now!”
With Rong Jin’s current appearance, once the Third Prince’s people discovered him, it would be very difficult for him to leave the Third Prince’s Mansion.
However, Rong Jin doesn’t care at all. “Don’t worry, Rong Xun is no longer the Rong Xun of the past. He can handle the affairs of Xi Yue well. If I also nurture him well, I’m very relieved!” Although he was in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and Rong Xun was in the Western Vietnam, many things were decided by Rong Jin. However, Rong Xun had already been able to take charge of it all these years.
In addition, he had originally nurtured Rong Ruo as the Crown Prince. Although Rong Ruo was still young, she could not be underestimated.
“Has Master really decided?” Jiang Qing’s expression was extremely embarrassed. “This subordinate is willing to go to the Third Prince’s Mansion on behalf of my master!”
Rong Jin shook his head, his expression still carrying a faint smile, “No need, move aside!”
Jiang Qing’s expression was ugly, but he didn’t move to block Rong Jin’s figure. He seemed to have made a decision and said respectfully, “Master, if you want to go out, it’s fine. As long as you win against this subordinate, this subordinate won’t stop you!”
Rong Jin’s gaze landed on Jiang Qing with a smile that wasn’t a smile. His eyebrows slightly raised, and his gentle face carried a faint smile. “Is that so? Speaking of which, it’s been a long time since I’ve brought you up. Let’s have a good spar today.”
In his entire life, he had lived for others. Now, he had finally met someone who could make him abandon everything. He was unwilling to let go. As long as there was a sliver of hope, he would not give up looking for her!
