Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 386

Chapter 386 A Reason
Yun Xiao clearly heard Rong Jin say that the Jin Emperor’s body was fine. Only then did she let out a sigh of relief. Hearing Rong Jin’s words again, her brows furrowed tightly.

If it was according to Rong Jin, The person who drugged the Jin Emperor was Imperial Chef Lu, who had just passed away. He was the exclusive imperial chef of the Jin Emperor. He was in charge of the Jin Emperor’s diet. When he died a while ago, there was naturally no one who continued to make a move in the Jin Emperor’s diet. This confirmed what Rong Jin had said. No one continued to feed the Gu worms. It also caused the Jin Emperor’s body to deteriorate and he would often have a headache.

The burning of the Imperial Mausoleum had completely angered the Jin Emperor, and the Gu poison was uncontrollable.

The Empress issued a few orders and then sat down beside the bed. Her face was already a little old, and it was as if she was ten years old in an instant.

Although Rong Jin couldn’t see it, in his previous life, he knew that the Empress loved the Jin Emperor very much. She was also the only woman in the harem who had given her heart to the Jin Emperor. Unfortunately, the Jin Emperor had failed her in the end.

It was also at this time that Yun Xiao clearly heard a muffled snort. Then, she saw that the Jin Emperor had slowly opened his eyes, and there was a trace of confusion in his eyes.

The Empress immediately wiped away the tears from her eyes and grabbed onto the Jin Emperor’s hands. She said excitedly, “Your Majesty, you’re awake.”

The Jin Emperor first glanced at her, then his puzzled gaze shifted to the expressions of everyone in the room and said softly, “Water …”

When the Empress heard the words of the Jin Emperor, she immediately instructed the palace maid behind her, “Quickly pour water.”

After the palace maid poured some water and the Empress personally took care of him, the Jin Emperor heaved a sigh of relief. He had someone help him sit up and whispered, “Who cured my illness?”

The Empress immediately told the Jin Emperor everything that had just happened.

The Jin Emperor’s eyes narrowed slightly. A cold light shot out from his eyes. The fierce aura belonging to the upper echelons caused the surrounding people to involuntarily heave a sigh of relief in their hearts.

Everyone was so frightened that they didn’t dare to catch their breath and lowered their heads.

Poisoning the Jin Emperor with the Gu Poison was to kill the Jin Emperor. It would be strange if the Jin Emperor did not get angry.

Zhou Jingxu saw that the atmosphere in the room was stagnant. He walked forward and greeted the Jin Emperor respectfully. Then he said, “I congratulate Father Emperor on his health. Since the Gu Poison has been forced out by Young Master Rong, take good care of it in the future. Father Emperor’s body will definitely recover to its original state.”

The Jin Emperor was already in his fifties, and his body had been thrown into a commotion by the Gu Poison. Even if he recovered properly in the future, he might not be able to recover to his original state, and it would be difficult for him to make up for his loss.

The Jin Emperor’s anger was originally hard to calm down, but seeing Zhou Jingxu’s obedient appearance, he sighed in his heart. He was afraid that it would frighten these children, “Alright, just your mouth is sweet.”

Zhou Jingxu’s soft face flashed with a smile. He rolled his eyes a few times before saying, “Father, Young Master Rong has healed your body, shouldn’t there be a reward?”

The Jin Emperor nodded. Such a big event should indeed be rewarded properly.

Zhou Jingxu’s eyes flashed. “Young Master Rong treats Father Emperor’s body, but he has passed the five tests and killed six generals. If not for the fact that the Yun Family’s fourth young miss was willing to use all the Yun Family’s property as collateral for Young Master Rong, I’m afraid that even Father Emperor would not be able to see Young Master Rong. In other words, shouldn’t the Yun Family’s fourth young miss also receive a reward?”

There was a smile on the Jin Emperor’s face. This was what Zhou Jingxu wanted to say, wasn’t it?

Thinking back to when Yun Xiao was in the Imperial Palace, she had already befriended Zhou Jingxu. This was the first time that her son had cheated on him for a woman. The Jin Emperor felt that this was very new, so he immediately nodded his head and said, “Indeed, it should be rewarded.”

After receiving the promise of the Jin Emperor, Zhou Jingxu blinked his eyes in Yun Xiao’s direction, and a wisp of playfulness appeared on his face. However, when he thought that Yun Xiao could not see his expression, a strange look appeared in his eyes.

His brows furrowed tightly, and his expression was somewhat calm. At the same time, he made up his mind to ask his father to send an imperial physician to treat Yun Xiao’s eyes.

Thinking of this, Zhou Jingxu immediately knelt down respectfully and said in a calm voice, “Father Emperor, your body is fine now. Can I ask Father Emperor to send an imperial physician to treat the eyes of Yun Clan’s four young ladies?”

The Jin Emperor was about to respond when he suddenly saw Rong Jin not far away. Then he said, “Fourth Miss Yun knows such a miraculous doctor. Can the imperial physicians in the Imperial Palace still take a fancy to him?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Rong Jin immediately said, “Fourth Young Lady Yun’s eyes, the grass dwellers have yet to find a good cure.”

If he had just been frostbitten by the water, he would still be able to recover his sight. However, after the poisonous smoke a few days ago, Rong Jin no longer had much confidence.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the room was stunned.

Everyone had seen Rong Jin’s medical skills just now. With Rong Jin saying that, what other imperial physician dared to say that he could treat Yun Xiao?

However, at this moment, Zhou Jingyan, who had been standing at the side, suddenly knelt respectfully in front of the Jin Emperor’s bed. He knelt on the ground and nodded, “Father Emperor, this son is happy with the Yun Family’s fourth young miss. Regardless of whether the Yun Family’s fourth young miss’ eyes can be cured or not, my son is willing to marry the Yun Family’s fourth young miss.”

Zhou Jingyan’s words were neither light nor heavy. They sounded in the dormitory and could be heard by everyone in the entire dormitory, but it didn’t make people feel too rude.

Concubine Hua, who was standing on the other side, saw this. She also smiled and walked forward, He said softly, “Your Majesty, you are in good health. Our royal family really needs a happy occasion. It is rare for His Highness the Third Prince to be sincere with the Yun Family’s fourth young miss. Even if the Yun Family’s fourth young miss has symptoms of Gong Han, being a side concubine is already enough. A son loved by a princess can support the third prince’s door. It is not necessary for the Yun Family’s fourth young miss to have children.”

When the others in the bedroom heard Hua Fei’s words, they all lowered their heads, their eyes, noses, and hearts, pretending that they didn’t hear anything.

However, many civil and military officials were stunned in their hearts. The fourth young lady from Yun Clan was someone at the peak of the Third Prince’s heart. There was also Gong Han’s illness, so they could never come to propose marriage.

The Jin Emperor looked at Hua Fei calmly. There were quite a few men in this room. If he said this, wouldn’t it be disgraceful to the reputation of Yun Clan’s fourth young miss?

When Hua Fei saw that the Jin Emperor was unhappy, she sat down and smiled sweetly, “Your Majesty, you’ve already agreed. Do you want to go back on your word now?”

Just as the Jin Emperor was about to agree, Yun Xiao suddenly knelt down and made a noise to the Jin Emperor. Naturally, the personal maidservant beside Yun Xiao also knelt down and respectfully said, “Reporting to Your Majesty, my lady has something to tell Your Majesty.”

The Jin Emperor glanced at Yun Xiao’s stern little face. It was as if this woman could surprise people every time. To be able to marry the Third Prince, even if it was a side princess, it was much better than being married into an ordinary family. However, she was unwilling. She just didn’t know why she was unwilling.

She nodded and replied, “Alright, the Yun Clan’s fourth young lady, her maidservant and Eunuch Wei will stay behind. The others will leave first!”

Everyone didn’t expect the Jin Emperor to actually agree. They were all stunned for a moment. Imperial Concubine Hua and Zhou Jingyan exchanged glances. At this time, Yun Xiao wanted to talk to the Jin Emperor. What she said would definitely be detrimental to them.

Thinking of this, his expression became embarrassed. However, the Jin Emperor had already said that there was no reason for him to take it back. He had no choice but to walk out with everyone else.

After the officials, concubines, and princes left the room, the Jin Emperor saw that Rong Jin was still here and rubbed his eyebrows. Then he said, “Young Master Rong, what else do you want to say?”

Rong Jin bowed to the Jin Emperor and whispered, “The grass dwellers also have a request, so I want to ask the fourth young miss first, can I stay?”

Hearing Rong Jin’s words, the Jin Emperor looked at Rong Jin and Yun Xiao and seemed to understand why He Yunxiao was unwilling to marry into the royal family.

Yun Xiao did not expect that Rong Jin would also stay. Seeing Qing Mo tell her, she could only nod her head.

With a nod of her head, the Jin Emperor confirmed his speculation even more!

Yun Xiao sat at the side and began to write on the paper with a pen. Rong Jin bowed respectfully to the Jin Emperor, “The grass-roots people only ask for one thing. I only ask His Majesty not to point Fourth Miss Yun to the Third Prince for marriage.”

When Yun Xiao, who was writing, suddenly heard this sentence, her hand that held the pen stiffened for a moment. Such a great opportunity, he actually wasted it on her?

Not only Yun Xiao was surprised, but the Jin Emperor was also very surprised.

“What do you say?” No matter what kind of wish he had, the Jin Emperor would satisfy this great opportunity as long as it was reasonable. However, he never expected that he would only ask for such a thing.

Or something that had nothing to do with him.

It was quite impressive.

“Don’t you want to be an imperial physician in the palace?” The doctors were all prepared to be imperial physicians. With Rong Jin’s current medical skills, he was more than enough to be an imperial physician.

“The grass-roots people are used to being free, but they still prefer to do business,” Rong Jin’s words showed his attitude.

At this time, Yun Xiao also finished writing and showed it to the Jin Emperor. It said, “The maiden is unwilling to marry the Third Prince.”

The few words they chatted about were actually the same as what Rong Jin had said. In addition, Rong Jin was also Yun Xiao’s doctor. If the two of them really did not have any friendship, the Jin Emperor would not believe it.

However, no one would gamble all of the Yun Family’s wealth for a stranger.

The Jin Emperor rubbed his tired skin and said, “Since the two of you are grateful to me today, as long as you can give me a reason that satisfies me, we can forget about this marriage.”

No matter what, because of Yun Xiao and Rong Jin, the Gu poison in his body was released today, which could be considered to have saved his life.

However, Concubine Hua had already agreed. If he wanted to go back on his word, his face would be shameful. In addition, Zhou Jingyan was his own descendant after all. Thinking of how Zhou Jingyan was so happy with Yunxiao, he could not bear to part ways. Now, there was only one reason.

As long as this Jin Emperor could convince the Jin Emperor, the Jin Emperor would never mention this marriage!

Hearing the Jin Emperor’s words, Yun Xiao and Rong Jin both heaved a sigh of relief. Since they had said so, they had already let go.

In that case, as long as there was a reasonable reason, the bestowal of marriage could be dismissed.
