Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 414
Chapter 414 Reach An Agreement
“I have a 30% chance. Enough, let’s treat it!” Xiao Yuqi made a prompt decision.
A 30% chance of success was better than no chance at all. Moreover, since the imperial physician Zhou Jingyan had invited was definitely not too bad. Anyone from the Young People’s Palace who could enter the Grand Hospital would have better medical skills.
Since he said it was difficult to diagnose and treat, he was afraid that he would end up being inferior to him elsewhere.
In addition, Xiao Yuqi clearly knew that her current body was no longer enough to support her in searching for the next doctor.
It must be treated as soon as possible. She only felt that her legs were almost motionless now.
Zhou Jingyan saw Xiao Yuqi’s expression and immediately understood what she was thinking. He simply ordered a movie and immediately said, “Since Miss Xiao has already spoken, do as Miss Xiao says.”
The imperial physician wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, and his eyes were filled with caution. “Yes, Your Highness.”
What he agreed to was neat, but the imperial physician’s eyes were still filled with uncertainties. He was deeply afraid that he would accidentally harm someone if he was not saved.
After calming down, the imperial physician said, “Your Highness and Miss Xiao, please wait a moment. I still have some things to prepare.”
Zhou Jingyan nodded. Seeing that Xiao Yuqi was a little anxious, he said softly, “Miss Xiao, there’s no need to be anxious. It’s better to wait in peace.”
Since the poison isn’t on you, you naturally shouldn’t be anxious. Xiao Yuqi really wanted to say this. However, in the end, she swallowed it and said softly, “Your Highness the Third Prince is right.”
Zhou Jingyan saw that Xiao Yuqi had returned to normal in such a short while, so he nodded secretly. At last, he still had some brains. “Since my people are willing to treat Miss Xiao, I wonder how Miss Xiao will repay them?”
Xiao Yuqi knew that the matter would not be so simple. A faint mockery appeared at the corner of her mouth and she said softly, “How do you want me to thank you, Third Highness?”
“That depends on Miss Xiao’s sincerity!” The corners of Zhou Jingyan’s mouth curled into a smile. His words did not contain the slightest bit of emotion. His pair of eyes even lingered on Xiao Yuqi’s body. “I heard that Miss Xiao has some capable people in her hands. May I know how capable those capable people are?”
Xiao Yuqi tightened her grip on the hand beside her. Her expression was also extremely embarrassed. She knew that Zhou Jingyan would speak out loudly. However, she never expected that the moment he spoke, he would actually want her capable person who could save her life.
Although Xiao Yuqi was angry in her heart, she concealed her feelings well on the surface. She pretended that she did not understand Zhou Jingyan’s words and whispered, “Why does His Highness the Third Prince remember to ask this?”
“Miss Xiao, you’re a smart person. I don’t want to see you pretend to be deaf and dumb in front of me.”
“Alright, let’s not talk secretly. I do have some people in my hands, but I’ve already lost more than half of the people who were brought to the Yun Clan tonight. Even if His Highness the Third Prince wants me, it’s useless.” The people Zhou Jingyan met today couldn’t conceal it anymore.
“Miss Xiao, are you sure it’s just those people?” Zhou Jingyan didn’t believe it at all.
“If Third Highness doesn’t believe me, then I have nothing to say. Even if I die here today, that’s all I have to say.” Xiao Yuqi’s expression was tense as she looked at Zhou Jingyan without showing any weakness.
Zhou Jingyan had countless spectators. Naturally, he knew what this meant, “Alright, since Miss Xiao is unwilling to tell the truth, I am also unwilling to force you. However, Miss Xiao is indeed an extremely rare talent. It would be a pity if she gave up like this. I have already let Imperial Concubine Hua mention you in front of Father Emperor. It shouldn’t be long before the imperial edict given by Father Emperor will arrive at Xiao Clan, right?”
Xiao Yuqi’s expression changed slightly. She did not expect Zhou Jingyan to do such a thing. However, based on her understanding of Zhou Jingyan these past few days, since she had discovered her identity, he would definitely not let her go.
If she disobeyed him now, her fate would definitely be bitter. After considering it for a while, Xiao Yuqi smiled and said softly, “Your Majesty personally bestowed the marriage, so I will naturally obey.” However, Xiao Yuqi was still looking at Zhou Jingyan.
Sure enough, Zhou Jingyan quickly told Xiao Yuqi the truth.
“I will beg Father Emperor to let you enter as soon as possible. Of course, after you enter, you will be responsible for helping me tame some soldiers!” Xiao Yuqi’s methods were extremely ruthless when the hidden guard came back to report the matter today. When she attacked, she used killing moves. A soldier tamed by such a person was undoubtedly the best.
Now, the Jin Emperor’s body was getting better and better every day, so he had no choice but to make preparations again.
When Xiao Yuqi heard Zhou Jingyan say that she was taming the army, her eyes twitched. Soon, she suppressed the only peculiarity in her heart, “Why did His Highness the Third Prince tame the army?”
“You’ve already guessed, haven’t you?” Zhou Jingyan stared at Xiao Yuqi with a gloomy expression.
Xiao Yuqi had indeed guessed it, but it was better this way.
Xiao Yuqi blinked her eyes. At the same time, the golden cicada silk on Xiao Yuqi’s finger flew towards Zhou Jingyan at an extremely strange speed. The golden cicada silk was extremely fast and plain. When Zhou Jingyan felt that something was wrong, he immediately dodged. However, he was still one step away.
When the hidden guard on the beam saw Xiao Yuqi attack, he quickly landed on Xiao Yuqi’s side with his sword in hand. However, although he reacted quickly, because of the distance, he was still a step slower than Xiao Yuqi. He could only watch helplessly as Xiao Yuqi used the Golden Cicada Silk to press against Zhou Jingyan’s neck.
Xiao Yuqi looked at her four swords and a faint sarcastic arc flashed across the corner of her mouth. She whispered, “If you point your swords at me like this, I will feel scared. If my hand trembles, the Golden Cicada Silk can’t control itself and attacks His Highness the Third Prince’s neck, I’m afraid that the gains will be outweighed by the losses.”
Zhou Jingyan glanced at Xiao Yuqi and snorted coldly. He waved his hand at the four hidden guards and told them to retreat. Then, he looked at Xiao Yuqi and said indifferently, “I wonder if Miss Xiao is satisfied with this.”
Xiao Yuqi nodded calmly. She had been preparing for such a long time and was just waiting for this fatal blow. She chuckled and said, “Satisfied, Your Highness the Third Prince told me to tame the army. Could it be that she wants to rebel?”
“You’re right.” Zhou Jingyan did not conceal Xiao Yuqi’s determination. He had been staring at Xiao Yuqi’s eyebrows, so he naturally did not miss the flash of emotion in Xiao Yuqi’s eyes. “You are also moved, aren’t you? If I become the Jin Emperor, I will grant you the throne of Empress!”
His voice was faint, but it carried a convincing feeling.
Xiao Yuqi sneered. Who knew if she would remember what she had promised at this time? Naturally, it was not trustworthy, not to mention, it was just a queen’s position, and she still didn’t like it.
However, if Zhou Jingyan wanted to rebel, borrowing his power would definitely not be a bad thing for him.
In just a blink of an eye, Xiao Yuqi had already thought so much and made up her mind. She pretended to be moved by Zhou Jingyan’s words. Her eyes sparkled and she smiled lightly. She said softly, “Is what Third Highness said true?”
“Of course it’s true. Now it depends on whether Miss Xiao is willing or not?” Zhou Jingyan looked at Xiao Yuqi calmly. Seeing that her eyes were burning, he sneered in his heart. Every woman in time was always on the lookout for Xiao Yuqi.
Xiao Yuqi withdrew the golden cicada silk from Zhou Jingyan as she spoke, her face carrying a faint look of anticipation and longing.
However, her actions consumed all of her stamina. After relaxing, she couldn’t help but vomit. All she vomited was black blood.
Xiao Yuqi reached out her hand to wipe the dirty blood off her mouth. She raised the teacup in front of her and made a gesture of invitation to Zhou Jingyan. “Since we have reached an agreement, then let’s use tea instead of wine. I wish us success first.”
‘”Alright,” Zhou Jingyan also picked up the teacup in front of him and drank all the tea in it. After putting down the teacup, he said, “During this period of time, you should take good care of your injuries. After your health is almost good, you can train your troops and the things you need to train them. Just tell me, I will provide you with everything you need.”
Xiao Yuqi was very satisfied with the result. However, she suddenly remembered something, “Since Third Highness has promised me the throne, what about County Lord Hui Ning?”
“If she is willing to marry, she can only be a side concubine. Are you satisfied with that?” Zhou Jingyan also didn’t want to give up on county princess Hui Ning.
Right now, Yun Clan and Young Master Rong had accepted the marriage. Neither of the two families’ properties could be used by him. Although he was angry and wished to kill the people of both families, he had no choice but to think of another way to change his mind to County Lord Hui Ning.
County Lord Hui Ning’s status was now the most valuable in the entire capital, excluding Yun Xiao.
Xiao Yuqi’s lips curled into a faint smile, but what she said was not polite at all. Since she could make a condition now, she naturally had to do her best to make it. “Alright, in addition, Third Highness must promise me that if things go well, you must make my child the Crown Prince.”
Moreover, Xiao Yuqi was a little disappointed that Zhou Jingyan did not hand over his hidden guard to her. However, the hidden guard was under Zhou Jingyan’s direct jurisdiction. If Zhou Jingyan gave the hidden guard to her, it would really mean that Zhou Jingyan did not have the slightest bit of intelligence.
“Alright!” Speaking of his son, Zhou Jingyan’s eyes were filled with anger, but he concealed it very well in front of Xiao Yuqi.
The two of them had just finished their discussion when they saw the door of the study room being pushed open. The imperial physician brought a lot of medicine and returned. After saluting the two of them, he respectfully said, “Your Highness, the medicinal ingredients are ready. You can begin to detoxify Miss Xiao.”
Zhou Jingyan said indifferently. He turned around and walked out. “You should treat her properly. If you need anything, you should go to the manor to get it. However, you must not let anything happen to her.”
Xiao Yuqi smiled gratefully, but she sneered endlessly in her heart.
