Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 416
Chapter 416 Steal Time
Rong Jin stood not far away and looked at Yun Xiao. He saw that she had been fiddling with a few stones in her hand. Then, he kept changing directions. He frowned and walked over to confiscate all the stones in Yun Xiao’s hand. “You can’t worry about it now.”
Yun Xiao only let out a faint oh. She did not get angry after being robbed of the stone. She only looked at Rong Jin and whispered, “Are we going to start?”
Every night, he had to treat her eyes, so Yun Xiao was no stranger to Rong Jin’s arrival. However, she was very disgusted with the medicine in Rong Jin’s hand that made her feel extremely painful.
She really wanted to reject the medicine, but she was reluctant to waste the medicine that Rong Jin had obtained from thousands of miles away in exchange for her life.
If not for the fact that this medicine was too precious, Yun Xiao would have already decided to throw the medicine in Rong Jin’s hand as far away as possible.
Rong Jin nodded and walked over to grab Yun Xiao’s hand. He placed Yun Xiao on the bed and said softly, “Right.”
Yun Xiao was very obedient towards applying medicine, and she did not say anything. She only nodded softly and lay down obediently.
Rong Jin took out the medicine and dripped it into his eyes. The familiar pain came again. Yun Xiao gritted her teeth and endured it. Rong Jin saw it. He only placed his hand in Yun Xiao’s mouth and placed the hand that Yun Xiao held tightly together on his waist.
He rolled over and went to bed, allowing Yun Xiao to block his waist. The strength in his hands was even more shocking. The flesh on his waist was already purple because Yun Xiao had grabbed it. However, Rong Jin did not seem to feel any pain. He just looked at Yun Xiao with a faint smile.
Fifteen minutes later, the pain disappeared. Yun Xiao stretched out her hand and took out Rong Jin’s hand from her mouth. She apologetically said, “Actually, you don’t have to be like this.”
After Rong Jin finished speaking, his big hand landed on Yun Xiao’s small hand and softened her stiff little hand a few times before he said, “Tomorrow, I will take you out of the capital and find a quiet place to treat your eyes. Would you like to accompany me?”
Yun Xiao already knew about this matter. She was still a little reluctant to leave the capital that she had always lived in. However, she would be back soon, so she nodded her head. “Alright,” rather than living a life of being monitored everywhere in the capital, it would be better to take this opportunity to go somewhere else.
She had never left the capital in her previous two lifetimes. It was as if she had drawn a prison cell for herself. Thinking of the outside world Ruo Ruo had mentioned, she felt a little outwardly.
After discussing, the two of them fell asleep together. Yun Xiao did not chase Rong Jin away. They had gotten used to getting along with each other these past few days.
The next morning, before Yunxiao woke up, Rong Jin had already left. He touched his body with his tentacles, and there was still some warmth left. He knew that Rong Jin had just left. He sighed and called for the maidservant to dress her.
After tidying up, Yun Xiao brought Qing Mo and Chun Lan to the Lu Clan’s courtyard. Brother Han had also arrived. After a few happy words from the family, Yun Xiao said that she was leaving home for a few days today and went to seek medical treatment with Rong Jin.
Madam Lu and Yun Maozhe were both slightly stunned. However, when they thought of the current situation in the capital and looked at Yun Xiao’s eyes, they were truly distressed. If they could treat Yun Xiao’s eyes, it wouldn’t matter even if they left home for a few days.
The family sat together for the last reunion dinner. After breakfast, a butler came to report that Young Master Rong had come.
Madam Lu, Yun Maozhe, and the others reluctantly sent Yun Xiao into the carriage. Originally, they wanted to bring more things to Yun Xiao, but Rong Jin rejected them and said that he had already arranged it. In addition, even the maidservant only wanted the last one, and Chun Lan did not bring it.
Although he had left in a hurry, Rong Jin had arranged the carriage very comfortably.
Although the carriage was small, it had all the internal organs and everything that could be thought of had been arranged.
Rong Jin held a book and read it. Yun Xiao took out the stones she had brought and continued to study the formation. No one said anything, but it made people feel exceptionally harmonious.
A ray of sunlight shone through the curtains and shone on the small face that looked like a sheep fat jade. Her long eyes blinked gently, as if they were a small fan that could stir people’s hearts.
Rong Jin reached out to Yun Xiao and slowly landed on her eyes.
Yun Xiao felt Rong Jin’s movements and frowned. Yan Jie also blinked a few times. Her long eyelashes brushed into Rong Jin’s palm, itching, but she felt exceptionally comfortable.
Yun Xiao’s body stiffened slightly and she coughed dryly before saying, “What are you doing?”
“You’ve been looking at these stones for a long time. You need to rest. You’re too brainless. It’s not good for your eyes.” Rong Jin said unhurriedly. Then, he pulled Yun Xiao’s body back and let her lie in his embrace. He patted her shoulder and said, “Xiao Xiao, if … if your eyes really aren’t healed well, would you hate me? If I hadn’t insisted on bringing you to the Mausoleum Mountain, you wouldn’t have fallen into an icy lake, much less become blind.”
Yun Xiao’s eyes had been using medicine for several days, but it was a pity that it was useless. Yun Xiao still couldn’t see anything, which made his originally confident heart hesitate at this moment.
This was the first time in many years that he had doubted his medical skills.
Yun Xiao earned a little from Rong Jin’s arms, but she did not struggle out. She simply let him hold her like this.
Adding on the fact that the space in the carriage was already extremely small, this struggle would not be beautiful even if something were to bang.
Hearing Rong Jin’s words, Yun Xiao was slightly stunned. She took Rong Jin’s hand from her eyes and whispered, “I don’t hate you, but I want to thank you. If it weren’t for you, I probably wouldn’t have walked out of the capital’s gates for the rest of my life.”
She could not leave this cell in the capital no matter what.
As she spoke, she felt the light coming from the sun. She reached out to grab a little bit of light, but there was still a blank space in her hand. She said softly, “You see, I tried my best to grab the sun, but no matter how hard I grabbed it, it was futile. It was like time. No matter how hard I grabbed it, I couldn’t grab it. Since I couldn’t grab it, why would I force it?” Right now, isn’t it good? Although I can’t see, my heart is not blind. I just want to live a good life in the future. As for what happened before, I don’t want to explore it. ”
Yun Xiao’s face was pale and the corner of her mouth curved into a faint arc. If she hadn’t had an eye disease, if she hadn’t been poisoned and couldn’t have given birth, how would she have rejected the royal marriage in this lifetime?
So there are gains and losses.
She wasn’t regretful, but rather happy. That was why she cherished the time in front of her even more.
Rong Jin’s gaze lingered on Yun Xiao’s little face all the time. Seeing her say those words, he felt that his mind was clear and his previous guilt flashed away. “Alright, in the future, with me accompanying you, you won’t suffer any other tribulations in the future.”
Yun Xiao only chuckled, but in her heart, she did not take Rong Jin’s words seriously.
Rong Jin was the prince of Country of Xiyue. She would not leave the Eastern Jin Dynasty for the future Yue Emperor. He and she should not have been anxious.
It was only a stolen time for her to be with him now.
If he was willing to come out with Rong Jin this time, it was inevitable that he would have more days to spend with him in his heart.
She did not forget that after the Lantern Festival, Rong Jin was about to leave.
“Master, we’re leaving the capital.” A respectful male voice sounded from outside. Neither Yun Xiao nor Rong Jin answered. They quietly listened to the sound of the carriage grunting.
Hearing the sound of the carriage grunting as if it had left the capital, Yun Xiao somehow heaved a sigh of relief and felt a faint sense of excitement in her heart.
However, this excitement did not last long, and Yun Xiao did not have much stamina and fell asleep beside Rong Jin.
Looking at Yun Xiao’s sleeping appearance, he reached out and slowly touched her cheek. The fingers divided into joints lingered on Yun Xiao’s face. Perhaps Yun Xiao felt uncomfortable and reached out to touch her face. She frowned and continued to sleep.
This kind of feeling was really good. Rong Jin even had an idea. It would be good if he took advantage of this opportunity to take Yun Xiao away.
In the middle of the night, the carriage stopped to rest. Rong Jin saw that Yun Xiao was sleeping soundly, so he let Yun Xiao continue sleeping on the carriage. He got off the carriage and stretched his muscles and bones.
Qing Liu had already erected a boiler and cooked some rice porridge. On such a cold night, if he didn’t eat some hot food, it would be very difficult for him to continue walking.
A pure white pigeon flew over and stopped on Rong Jin’s shoulder. Rong Jin took out a piece of paper from beneath the carrier pigeon’s feet. After reading it, he crushed the paper into pieces with his internal force. A gloomy expression appeared on his handsome face.
Qing Liu brought over a bowl of porridge and respectfully handed it to Rong Jin. Seeing that Rong Jin had taken it, he glanced at the carriage and whispered, “Master, the fourth young miss has come out with us this time. Why don’t we just drive the carriage to Country of Xiyue?”
Rong Jin glared at him without saying a word before walking back to the carriage.
How could he not have such thoughts? However, he did not want to force Yun Xiao. Rather than making her hate him against her will, it was better to leave behind some good memories.
Qing Liu rubbed his hair. He didn’t know why his master’s expression was so strange. Qing Mo watched from the side and coldly snorted, “Idiot!” This trip, Master only brought the two of them, it was enough to see how much he trusted the two of them.
He had been by his master’s side for so long, yet he didn’t know what his master was thinking.
Qing Mo took the food box, put some porridge in it, and put some carbonaceous stones under it to warm it up, so it wouldn’t be cold. No matter when the girl woke up, she could eat hot porridge.
After eating the porridge, Qing Mo and Qing Liu felt warm. Just as they were about to board the carriage and continue driving, they suddenly noticed something strange not far from them. After listening carefully for a while, their faces suddenly became embarrassed.
He walked to the carriage as if he didn’t know anything and whispered to the person opposite him, “Master, someone is following us!”
