Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 451
Chapter 451 Forever Alliance
The road was quickly cleared. Yun Xiao saw Qing Liu drive the carriage away with Chun Mei and Chun Lan.
Not long after, they saw a person chasing after them. Just by looking at their footsteps, they knew that everyone’s martial arts were very high. Chun Mei and Chun Lan did not know what would happen this time.
The anger in his heart grew even more intense as he clenched his hands tightly together. His clear eyes were filled with killing intent, but the killing intent flashed and retreated.
Rong Ruo knew that Yun Xiao had a deep relationship with Chun Mei and Chun Lan, but there was nothing she could do now. She could only make a decision like this. He held Yun Xiao’s hand tightly and said softly, “Mother, don’t worry. Qing Liu won’t let Chun Mei and Chun Lan have anything to do. Ruo Ruo will also inform someone to go and rescue them.”
When Yun Xiao heard Rong Ruo’s words, her heart, which she had been carrying, finally let out a sigh of relief. “Thank you.”
Rong Ruo nodded at Yun Xiao, but her pair of eyes that were like ink jade flickered with a thick peculiarity.
Zhou Jingxu saw Rong Ruo and Yun Xiao’s headless and tailless words, She frowned curiously. There were many questions in her heart, but the moment she saw that Yun Xiao was safe and sound, it had already transformed into peace of mind. She only looked at the people who followed closely behind the carriage in front of them. “Why did those people chase you just now?”
“Those people want to kill me and mother,” Rong Ruo did not wait for Yun Xiao to speak before she opened her mouth.
Hearing this, Zhou Jingxu frowned and said, “No one can kill you here.”
After hearing this, Rong Ruo immediately laughed, “That’s good. I saved your life before, but now you also save mine. Even if we’re even, we have to leave the city. The Ninth Prince can send us out of the city, please.”
Rong Ruo instructed Zhou Jingxu impolitely.
Zhou Jingxu did not mind, but rather liked this feeling. However, when he remembered Rong Ruo calling Mother Yunxiao, he felt a little uncomfortable. “The sky is going to darken. Why do you still want to leave the city?”
This time, Yun Xiao did not let Rong Ruo speak. She directly said, “I suffered some injuries a few days ago and have not recovered. My husband said that there is a miraculous doctor outside the city who can cure my body. Last time, my eye disease was cured by a miraculous doctor, so this time, we plan to ask that miraculous doctor to help me recuperate.”
Zhou Jingxu frowned when he saw Yun Xiao say that his body was not good, but his expression was unconcealable. The word’husband ‘made Zhou Jingxu’s expression unperturbed, “Your body?”
He wanted more so that he could rest assured, but under Rong Ruo’s burning gaze, he could only swallow all his words.
Yun Xiao smiled and said, “My body is fine. I just need to rest for a period of time. The capital is too chaotic for me to rest.”
Zhou Jingxu remembered the day when Yun Xiao was overjoyed and the entire Rong Clan was burned to ashes. He frowned and began to play together.
Thinking back to the days when Yun Xiao had been in the capital for the past few months, the capital was indeed not suitable for resting. “How did you escape from the Easy Palace today?”
When she felt that something was wrong, Qing Mo escaped with the rest of us. Yun Xiao’s expression was somewhat desolate.
“Then do you know Rong Jin?” Zhou Jingxu wanted to say if he knew about Rong Jin’s death, but when he saw Yun Xiao’s expression, he swallowed it back. If Yun Xiao didn’t know, wouldn’t it make Yun Xiao sad if he said it now?
Yun Xiao had spent so much time with Zhou Jingxu in her previous life, so she naturally understood his temperament. Seeing that he wanted to say something, she knew that Zhou Jingxu wanted to say that Rong Jin was dead. She only pretended that she did not know, “We have already told husband that we will meet outside the city.”
Zhou Jingxu saw the faint look of anticipation in Yun Xiao’s expression, and a strange look appeared in the depths of his eyes. Then, he said, “So it’s like this. Does the Yun Family know that you’re still well? I heard that your mother’s body is not very well.”
Yun Xiao’s expression fell silent. Then, she said, “It’s better not to tell them. Now that I’m in the Yun Clan, I will bring them disaster. If the news of me not dying is spread out, I’m afraid that the Yun Clan will still be in trouble. Let them treat me as dead. This way, they can still protect the Yun Clan.”
Zhou Jingxu’s expression was calm, and his expression was extremely embarrassed. In the end, he let out a long sigh.
He had been looking for someone to look at the Yun Clan during this period of time. In addition, on the day of Yun Xiao’s wedding, someone had set fire to the Rong Clan. He already knew that someone was intentionally trying to kill Yun Xiao. It was indeed a good thing for Yun Xiao to leave the capital to seek refuge. Since that was the case, then everyone would think that Yun Xiao was really dead.
In this way, even if the Yun Clan was outside the capital, they would still be safe and sound.
After Yun Xiao finished speaking, she was about to kneel down to Zhou Jingxu. “I want to ask the Ninth Prince something. I hope that the Ninth Prince will agree to it.”
“What is it?” Zhou Jingxu said as he stepped forward to help Yun Xiao up. However, thinking that Yun Xiao was already married and could no longer get along with others like before, he felt somewhat embarrassed in his heart. He then said, “If you have anything, just say it out loud. Whatever I can do, I will definitely not refuse.”
Yun Xiao felt a little guilty. She had actually used such a method to scheme against Zhou Jingxu to achieve her goal. However, even though she had already arranged Yun Clan for her departure, she was still somewhat worried. “I hope that the Ninth Prince can help take care of Yun Clan during my absence from the capital. Yunxiao is extremely grateful.”
Mu Tou, don’t worry. As long as I’m fine, I won’t let anything happen to the Yun Clan. Zhou Jingxu looked at Yun Xiao’s eyebrows and said heavily. Perhaps this was the only thing he could do for her.
After Yun Xiao finished speaking, Rong Ruo immediately helped Yun Xiao up, but her expression was somewhat unsightly. “Thank you.”
Zhou Jingxu saw that Yun Xiao’s expression was desolate and his eyes turned slightly. He blinked at Yun Xiao with a playful expression, “There’s no need to say thank you. If you really want to say thank you, then cook a meal for me as a token of thanks after you’ve healed your body.”
When Yun Xiao saw Zhou Jingxu chasing after him to cook for him like in her previous life, her expression was the same as before, and the corner of her mouth slowly slid into a faint smile. “Alright, it’s a deal.”
After she finished speaking, she recalled the current situation in the capital and couldn’t help but say, “Take good care of yourself in the capital. Also, you must be on guard against the Third Prince.”
“I know.” Zhou Jingxu remembered that he had died at Zhou Jingyan’s hands in his previous life, and a strong aura of killing intent surged into his eyes. “I definitely won’t let him go.”
Yun Xiao heard this pun clearly. She smiled and said, “In that case, I am relieved. Although His Highness the Crown Prince is fine now, no one will touch his mind. You must help him properly. Besides, while the Third Prince is cultivating, I will give you another gift.”
Zhou Jingxu looked at Yun Xiao curiously. He knew that Yun Xiao and Zhou Jingyan were husband and wife in their previous lives, so they definitely knew more than him. In addition, Yun Xiao had specifically mentioned Zhou Jingyan, so he knew that this matter definitely had something to do with Zhou Jingyan.
Yun Xiao immediately called Qing Mo to polish her ink, but was stopped by Rong Ruo. Rong Ruo looked at Zhou Jingxu vigilantly. He clearly saw that Zhou Jingxu seemed to have some strange emotions towards his mother just now, so he insisted on stopping her. Of course, Rong Ruo immediately sat between Zhou Jingxu and Yun Xiao.
Yun Xiao did not notice Rong Ruo’s little thoughts. She just thought that Rong Ruo was obedient and rubbed her hair. She smiled and said, “Then it’s like two grinding.”
After Yun Xiao and Rong Ruo grinded, they stained some ink and quickly wrote down some names in their memories on the paper.
These names were all people who had made great contributions to Zhou Jingyan’s ascension to the throne in his previous life, and they were also the most powerful people in the future.
She could not remember the others clearly, but Yun Xiao still remembered them deeply.
After Yun Xiao handed the list to Zhou Jingxu, Zhou Jingxu glanced at it and his expression changed drastically, “Who are these people?”
Yun Xiao nodded at Zhou Jingxu with an extremely serious expression, “These people were secretly bribed by Zhou Jingyan. You must be careful and guard against them.”
Zhou Jingxu had doubts in his heart. Hearing Yun Xiao’s words, his expression became even more embarrassed. After his reincarnation in this life, he was no longer the same as in his previous life. He did not care about anything. He had also dabbled in the matters in the court. Therefore, he naturally knew that Yun Xiao had written down these lists of people who were very important in every field of the court.
Zhou Jingxu had never thought that so many people would turn to Zhou Jingyan, let alone the deputy commander of the Guards Legion Corps.
The Imperial Guards were responsible for the safety of the palace. If the Imperial Guards were to fall, the doors of the palace would be open to Zhou Jingyan at any time, allowing him to be trampled on.
Although the deputy commander did not have as much power as the commander of the Imperial Guards, he was still able to mobilize a portion of his troops.
Zhou Jingxu was secretly shocked when he thought about it. He bowed respectfully to Yun Xiao’s direction and said, “Wood, I thank you on behalf of Royal Brother.”
“Needless to say, we’ve always been allies, haven’t we?” Yun Xiao smiled indifferently in Zhou Jingxu’s direction, and the corner of her mouth slowly curled into a faint smile.
‘”Yes.” Since there was no other relationship, it would be good to be an ally.
Although Zhou Jingxu was a little lonely, he knew what could be done and what could not be done.
Of course, when he thought about what he had seen Rong Jin do for Yun Xiao, he had to say that even he could not do that. It was indeed a good thing for Yun Xiao to marry Rong Jin. The two of them would definitely be happy.
Thinking of this, a ray of light flashed through Zhou Jingxu’s eyes.
He secretly hoped that nothing had happened to Rong Jin. He had already secretly made a decision in his heart. After returning, he would mobilize his own men to search for Rong Jin’s whereabouts. Returning Rong Jin to Yunxiao would also make Yunxiao happy for the rest of her life.
However, what he didn’t know was that Rong Jin and Yun Xiao would find it even harder to walk in the future.
