Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 382
Chapter 382 Resolute Refusal To Marry
“How could this be?” Zhou Jingxu stared blankly at Yun Xiao. In his previous life, nothing like this had happened.
When he raised his head, he saw that Yun Xiao’s eyes did not have a single focal length. Her originally night-like eyes were also dull.
What exactly happened that made Yun Xiao look like this?
Chun Lan did not know what to say. In addition, there were other princes in the room. She muttered, not daring to speak.
The Crown Prince, Zhou Jingchen, also walked over and sized up Yun Xiao before saying, “Call the imperial physician to take a look for the fourth young miss.”
Qing Mo had already written to Yun Xiao about the other princes here. Yun Xiao immediately knew and bowed to the crowd, perfectly displaying a role that could not be seen, heard, or spoken.
All the princes looked in the direction of the Emperor’s bedroom. They didn’t know how Zhou Jingyan would react when he came out and saw that his fianc é e was actually like this.
Ever since Zhou Jingyan had cured the Jin Emperor’s illness by cutting his flesh, the Jin Emperor had taken a different view of Zhou Jingyan. Especially now, he had left Zhou Jingyan alone, letting all the other princes come out. This caused the other princes to reflect. Did the Jin Emperor have other thoughts when he valued Zhou Jingyan so much?
However, it was good to think about it in their hearts. If they said it out loud, it would be impossible. Therefore, everyone treated themselves as mute. Seeing that the concubine Zhou Jingyan had requested to marry was actually blind, mute, and deaf, they all laughed at Zhou Jingyan in their hearts.
When Yun Xiao heard everyone muttering softly, she snorted coldly in her heart.
Zhou Jingchen looked at Yun Xiao again, A strange look flashed across his eyes. The Fifth Prince, who had been released with great difficulty, saw that Zhou Jingchen had taken such a fancy to Yun Xiao. He remembered that the beauty he had been thinking of had actually married into the Yun Clan, so he felt a little uncomfortable. He snorted coldly and said, “Crown Prince, this Yun Clan’s fourth young miss is the imperial concubine that Third Brother requested to marry. Isn’t your concern a little unreasonable?”
Zhou Jingchen sneered, his expression becoming a little colder. “Fifth Brother, no matter what, the Yun Family’s fourth young miss also has the status of the head of the Imperial Cuisine Room in the palace. Since she is also a member of the Imperial Palace, I am also the Crown Prince. May I greet her and ask for an imperial physician?”
Zhou Chongyu was coldly reprimanded by him in front of everyone. His expression was also a little ugly. He coldly snorted and directly said, “Alright, what does Crown Prince Brother want to do? It’s all your freedom. After saying that, you won’t speak anymore.”
Zhou Jingrui turned his head to look at Yun Xiao. She was clearly an unknown little woman, but she was so calm. When he saw her a few days ago, she was still fine. How come she had become what she is now after just a few days of absence?
Frowning, he became more vigilant in his heart. A commoner woman was actually able to take charge of the Imperial Cuisine Room. In addition, she had the ability to make Zhou Jingyan, Zhou Jingchen, and the Ninth Prince Zhou Jingxu look at each other differently.
Seeing this, Zhou Jingrui did not say anything, his eyes carrying a look of watching the play.
Coincidentally, Eunuch Wei also came out of the bedroom and said to Yun Xiao, “Manager Yun, the Emperor said to invite you in.”
After being notified for a while, Yun Xiao walked in, but she was still supported by Qing Mo and Chun Lan.
The others could only stop.
After Yun Xiao entered, she brought the maids and knelt down together. However, she did not say a word.
The two maids also greeted them generously. After the Jin Emperor called them to their feet, they helped Yun Xiao up and stood at the side.
The Jin Emperor’s spirits were much better today. When he saw Yun Xiao, he said, “Little girl, come in and take a look.”
Yun Xiao was pushed forward by the two maids. When the Jin Emperor saw that Yun Xiao’s eyes were indeed lifeless, he said, “Eunuch Wei, go to the Propaganda Doctor.”
Even if Wei Gongli went down.
In this dormitory, not only was the Jin Emperor looking at Yun Xiao, Zhou Jingyan was also looking at Yun Xiao. He still remembered the matter of Yun Xiao being taken away by the Palace Master of the Ten Directions Palace a few days ago. A few days ago, he saw that she was once again taken away by the Palace Master of the Ten Directions Palace.
At this moment, she did not expect that Yun Xiao would once again appear in front of her.
There was a faint light in Zhou Jingyan’s eyes. This time, he would never give Yun Xiao another chance to escape from his side.
He stood obediently at the side, his eyes shining brightly on Yun Xiao’s face.
However, when Hua Fei saw his expression, her expression became more and more embarrassed.
The aura in the room was somewhat stagnant. Imperial Concubine Hua was originally somewhat dissatisfied with Yun Xiao. She immediately said, “What’s wrong with your girl? She was still fine before. Why can’t she see anything in just a few days’ time?”
Chun Lan could only repeat what she had said to Eunuch Wei and Hua Fei.
Imperial Concubine Hua naturally didn’t believe it. She snorted coldly and said loudly, “Since that’s the case, how did your girl communicate with others recently?”
Chun Lan was not afraid because she had seen the Jin Emperor before. “Normally, it was a girl who wrote, or Qing Mo would write everything that happened in her hands.”
Qing Mo was used to seeing dead people, so he was even less afraid of a living person.
The Jin Emperor furrowed his brows and said, “The Third Prince is wholeheartedly asking to marry your girl. Ask your girl what she means.” It was simply too tiring to talk to such a person who could neither speak nor hear clearly.
Qing Mo immediately wrote the words in Yun Xiao’s hand. Yun Xiao frowned, then took out a small pen and paper from her sleeve and wrote a string of words. Only then did she show them to the Jin Emperor. However, before handing them over to the Jin Emperor, she had already knelt down.
Chun Lan showed the words written by Yun Xiao to the Jin Emperor. The Jin Emperor’s eyebrows relaxed a little. However, it quickly became somewhat gloomy because Yun Xiao wrote, “The women of the people are not willing to marry. The women of the people are originally the daughters of merchants and are not worthy of the Third Prince. Adding on her current appearance, if she were to marry the Third Prince, it would only tarnish the Third Prince’s face and also tarnish the royal family.”
The Jin Emperor’s expression was gloomy as he coldly said, “So you’re going to refuse to marry?”
As the Jin Emperor showed Zhou Jingyan the words written by Yun Xiao, he looked at Yun Xiao with a gloomy expression.
Although Yun Xiao could not see the gloomy face of the Jin Emperor, the sudden drop in temperature in the air still made Yun Xiao a little scared.
After being pulled by Qing Mo, Yun Xiao knelt down along with him.
After Zhou Jingyan finished reading Yun Xiao’s words, his expression became somewhat unsightly. Yun Xiao had pinched her right, so she came to see the Jin Emperor like this.
However, he naturally wouldn’t let Yun Xiao do as he wished. If he wanted to escape from his side, it depended on whether he was far from willing to do so!
Zhou Jingyan’s gloomy face immediately regained its warmth. He immediately knelt down and respectfully knelt down towards the Jin Emperor. “Father, please calm down. The four girls are all for the sake of our royal family. She is not willing for such a thing to happen to the four girls. However, I am happy with the four girls. Even if the four girls are like this, I am willing to marry the four girls.”
Hua Fei saw that Zhou Jingyan was willing to marry a blind man in order to marry a madman. Her delicate face was completely black. If Zhou Jingyan hadn’t told her in advance, she would definitely be angry.
The Jin Emperor did not expect Zhou Jingyan to be so infatuated. He had thought that Yun Xiao would refuse to marry, so this matter was exposed. “Yun Xiao, you absolutely cannot be a princess like this. If you really like it, then you can only accept one princess.”
Yun Xiao did not expect that the Jin Emperor would listen to Zhou Jingyan for only two days. She was anxious, but she could not come up with any other ideas for the time being.
In the eyes of others, she was a blind, deaf, and mute person with such status. If Zhou Jingyan was willing to marry her, it would be like the Yun Clan’s ancestor burning incense.
Even if it was a side imperial concubine, it was still better than marrying into a commoner’s family!
Therefore, even if it was a side princess, she would still be the side princess that everyone envied.
However, Yun Xiao was unwilling to marry Zhou Jingyan at all!
However, at this moment, Yun Xiao’s mind went blank. She could not remember at all how to refuse.
Imperial Concubine Hua saw this, Finally, a smile appeared on his face. It’s just a side princess, Concubine Xian was also a concubine amongst the nobles. Even if he was liked, he wouldn’t be able to do anything about it. Only then did he feel relieved. “Third Highness, please the fourth young lady of the Yun Clan. Everyone must be envious of you for marrying the third prince. Since His Majesty wants to marry the third prince, why don’t you also point out the princess? I think the eldest girl of the Duke of Xiao Manor, Xiao Yuqi, is not bad. Being the princess of Third Highness, her status is also good.”
At this moment, the hatred in Yun Xiao’s heart really couldn’t be stopped!
A dense hatred burst out from his eyes.
If it weren’t for her shocking willpower, Yun Xiao could still imagine that she was pretending to be mute and deaf, so she could directly jump up and scold Zhou Jingyan.
After taking a few deep breaths, Yun Xiao tried her best to calm down, and her expression was extremely gloomy.
Only by calming himself down could he really think of a good method.
After Yun Xiao gasped for breath for a while, her mind suddenly lit up. She immediately spread out the paper in front of her before continuing to write, “Reporting to Your Majesty, the maiden has something hidden!”
Everyone did not expect that Yun Xiao would still have something to say at this time. Imperial Concubine Hua looked at Yun Xiao with extreme hatred. Giving her the title of Side Imperial Concubine was already not bad, but she actually wanted more. She snorted coldly and said with a smile that was not a smile, “Oh? What’s the secret of Fourth Young Lady?”
Yun Xiao continued to write on the paper, “The status of a commoner girl is low. Being favored by His Highness the Third Prince is a blessing that the commoner girl has cultivated for hundreds of generations. However, as a woman, if she is unable to bear children for her husband, it would be a trap for him. The commoner girl has the symptoms of Gong Han and cannot bear children. She does not wish to harm His Highness the Third Prince, please take back her life!”
After Yun Xiao finished writing, Qing Mo’s gaze unconsciously widened. He didn’t expect that in order to not marry, this girl would be able to say such an excuse.
After Yun Xiao’s paper was shown to the Jin Emperor and the others, a faint aura of condensation lingered in the entire room.
