Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 413

Chapter 413 30% Certainty

The Yun Clan’s affairs had already been dealt with by the government. Very quickly, no one in the capital paid attention to them anymore, and they continued to guard New Year’s Eve.

Everyone was laughing happily, but the atmosphere in the Third Prince’s Mansion was somewhat stagnant.

A few black-clothed men climbed over the wall and entered. Afterwards, they saw a black-clothed man carrying a person in the front, quickly walking towards the main courtyard within the Third Prince’s mansion.

Even if they bumped into someone on the road, there were maids and guards saluting the black-clothed men.

The black-clothed man quickly entered the main courtyard, and then entered the main room. He saw a man sitting behind the table. The man was dressed in rainy clothes and was sitting on a chair. He looked even more gentle and refined. When the black-clothed man saw this, he immediately took a few steps forward and knelt respectfully. He also threw the person on his shoulders onto the ground and respectfully said, “Greetings, Master!”

Zhou Jingyan first glanced at the woman who was thrown to the ground by the black-clothed man and then said, “Get up.” After he finished speaking, he smelled a faint smell of blood and frowned, “What happened to this woman?”

“I’m poisoned. I just don’t know what kind of poison I got.” The black-clothed man told Xiao Yuqi the truth. Today, they had been following Xiao Yuqi from afar, afraid that Xiao Yuqi would discover them.

That was why he saw what Xiao Yuqi had done tonight.

If Xiao Yuqi hadn’t been poisoned, it would have been difficult for them to catch Xiao Yuqi today.

Xiao Yuqi couldn’t help but feel somewhat relieved. Xiao Yuqi was really poisoned. Otherwise, they would have been the ones to suffer the casualties.

Hearing this, Zhou Jingyan thought of something in his deep eyes. His eyes darkened and he said loudly, “How did you get poisoned?”

The black-clothed man told Zhou Jingyan everything he had seen today word for word.

After Zhou Jingyan heard this, his brows furrowed tightly again. From his people’s mouths, he understood that Xiao Yuqi was very strong. In other words, Xiao Yuqi had pretended to be weak in front of him earlier? This feeling made Zhou Jingyan feel very uncomfortable.

However, what surprised Zhou Jingyan even more was Yun Xiao. It was unimaginable that Yun Xiao could rescue everyone from the Yun Clan in her hands with such a powerful figure like Xiao Yuqi.

Thinking back to what he had heard before, Rong Jin gave all of his status to Yun Xiao as betrothal gifts. In other words, Yun Xiao’s wealth was almost comparable to the Yun Clan’s. This kind of talented and resourceful woman was truly too rare.

In his heart, he wanted to get Yun Xiao even more, and his eyes narrowed tightly. No matter what, he had to get Yun Xiao.

A soft whisper was exceptionally clear in the study.

Zhou Jingyan returned to his cage and looked at the dying woman on the ground. He snorted coldly, “Since you’re awake, get up and talk.”

He hadn’t expected that Xiao Yuqi would actually hide so deeply, which was beyond his expectations. From the looks of it, she was smart enough to know that she was hiding her strength in the Duke Xiao’s Mansion.

However, since his strength had already been exposed, he didn’t need to know that he would either use it for him or die.

Although Xiao Yuqi still wanted to pretend to be dizzy, the strength in her body felt that it was disappearing faster and faster. If she didn’t treat it earlier, the internal strength in her body would probably disappear.

That was why she couldn’t help but remind Ru Lun that no matter what, she had to preserve her own strength.

Xiao Yuqi opened her eyes and then stood up. However, the strength on her body was too weak. She suddenly stood up and was unable to stabilize herself for a while. She shook her body slightly before stabilizing her body.

Xiao Yuqi did not stand on ceremony with Zhou Jingyan. The first thing she did after she stood up was to find a chair to sit on. However, with such a simple action, Xiao Yuqi felt as if she had exhausted all of her strength.

Xiao Yuqi snorted coldly. Although Xiao Yuqi was in a weak position, she couldn’t show any weakness. She just calmly looked at her opponent, and the corner of her mouth slowly drew out a faint smile. “I wonder why the Third Prince invited me here in such a special way?” “Of course, before we discuss the matter, can you trouble the Third Prince to invite a doctor for me?”

If her body hadn’t been treated earlier, the consequences would have been terrible.

Of course, for the sake of her own health, Xiao Yuqi had to fight for everything she said. At this moment in his heart, he wished he could immediately slaughter the kid who shot the cold arrow. He actually dared to poison the arrow!

Little brat, I only hope that you will not fall into my hands sooner, or else I will make your life worse than death!

Zhou Jingyan’s lips curled into a faint smile. However, the smile was filled with mockery. He said softly, “Why don’t you go get Miss Xiao’s imperial physician?”

When the black-clothed man saw this, he immediately stood up respectfully and bowed to Zhou Jingyan before retreating. Before leaving, he even closed the door for the two of them.

Of course, they weren’t worried that Xiao Yuqi would harm Zhou Jingyan. It was because Xiao Yuqi was weak and there were hidden guards protecting Zhou Jingyan in the room. Of course, they didn’t have any burden.

Xiao Yuqi saw that everyone had retreated, but she did not relax her vigilance. She did not have much strength on her body, but her sensitive senses could clearly tell that the room was surrounded by hidden guards. As long as she made a small move, those people would notice her.

Of course, if Xiao Yuqi didn’t have the confidence to capture Zhou Jingyan, she wouldn’t have made a move.

It was also because of this that Xiao Yuqi only cupped her hands in Zhou Jingyan’s direction and gestured, “Thank you Third Prince.”

“You’re welcome.” Zhou Jingyan put down the book in his hand and slowly walked towards Xiao Yuqi. He sat down opposite Xiao Yuqi and said loudly, “Miss Xiao is really bold. She actually dares to attack the Yun Clan on New Year’s Eve. Don’t you know that the Yun Clan has recently become a Saint Clan Master?”

Choosing to attack the Yun Clan when the Yun Clan’s Saint Clan was at Zhenglong was simply courting death. However, he did have some admiration for Xiao Yuqi.

“So what? As long as I have the strength, I will attack Yun Clan under any circumstances.” Xiao Yuqi did not conceal her intentions. Moreover, Zhou Jingyan must have already known everything tonight. Since that was the case, pretending to not know anything would only make her appear weaker.

“I like Miss Xiao’s temperament,” Zhou Jingyan said. He picked up the teapot on the table and took out two teacups. He poured a cup of tea for the two of them and placed one of the cups in front of Xiao Yuqi.

Xiao Yuqi frowned invisibly. Now that Zhou Jingyan had kidnapped her, he must be uneasy and kind-hearted. In that case, could she really use Zhou Jingyan’s things?

Seeing Xiao Yuqi’s hesitation, Zhou Jingyan’s expression deepened. The corner of his mouth curved into a faint arc and he said softly, “What, Miss Xiao is afraid that I will poison the tea?”

After he finished speaking, he had already finished the cup of tea in front of him in one gulp. He flipped the cup over and said with a smile, “It’s not poisonous.”

When Xiao Yuqi saw this, she smiled unwillingly and said, “Your Highness the Third Prince is right. I’m afraid of death, so I’m really afraid that His Highness the Third Prince will poison the tea.”

“Hahaha” Zhou Jingyan suddenly laughed loudly. A faint smile appeared on his handsome and refined face as he said softly, “Miss Xiao is really straightforward. However, I did poison the tea.”

Xiao Yuqi was just about to swallow the tea when she heard Zhou Jingyan’s words. Her expression changed drastically and her body trembled slightly. If it weren’t for her shocking self-control, she would have spat out all the tea in her mouth by now.

Of course, Xiao Yuqi first looked at Zhou Jingyan’s face before swallowing the tea. She said loudly, “Your Highness the Third Prince really knows how to joke. This tea is a good dragon well in front of the rain. Isn’t poisoning this tea hurting Feng Ya? Your Highness the Third Prince is a refined gentleman. He definitely wouldn’t do such a disdainful thing.”

Her cursing words made Zhou Jingyan’s expression darker. Especially the contempt Xiao Yuqi had said in the end, which had simply pierced Zhou Jingyan’s reverse scale. However, he still said, “Miss Xiao is right. However, sometimes Miss Xiao is overconfident and will fall like this tonight.”

Speaking of tonight, Xiao Yuqi’s expression was a little gloomy. Tonight was the worst time she had ever lost. Not only did she let the target escape, she was also seriously injured.

The two of them, who were both stabbed with pain, did not speak. They looked at each other, and flames rose up in their eyes.

At this moment, the door to the study was pushed open from the outside. Butler Li respectfully entered, “Your Highness, the imperial physician is here.”

“Let him in.” Butler Li’s voice instantly dispelled the stagnation in the room. Zhou Jingyan smiled lightly and nodded, not disappointedly disappointing the coldness of that moment.

After the imperial physician entered, Zhou Jingyan gestured for the imperial physician to come to Xiao Yuqi’s side and “treat her.”

How could the imperial physician dare to say anything unwilling? He immediately respectfully replied, but the results of the examination caused everyone to frown.

Xiao Yuqi looked at the imperial physician’s tightly knitted brows and her expression was a little embarrassed. “What exactly happened? According to the truth.”

Although the imperial physician did not want to say such words and lower his medical skills, if he rashly made a diagnosis and treated her, he would not be able to cure her. At that time, he would be smashing his own signboard. “I cannot detect the poison in the girl’s body. Please ask Your Highness to be wise.”

“Not even the slightest bit of confidence?” Zhou Jingyan narrowed his eyebrows in a dangerous arc. If he couldn’t cure Xiao Yuqi, he would lose a chip. If there was a cure, he could use it as a chip to let Xiao Yuqi stand beside him.

“Your Highness, I have only a 30% chance.” The 30% chance is also a conservative estimate. He has never heard of this poison, so he dares not act rashly. “Moreover, the poison in Miss Xiao’s body is a mixture of several poisons. If one mistake is made, all of them will be lost.”
