Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 477

Chapter 477 Yun Xiao Rescued

Rong Jin looked at the Empress with an indifferent expression. He looked at all the unwillingness in her eyes and then said indifferently, “Mother, Rong Xun and I are brothers. Isn’t it the same who will become the Yue Emperor? Why would Mother care so much?”

“What do you know? You’ve done so much for Rong Xun, done so much for him, and helped him raise Ruo Ruo, but he doesn’t care about brotherhood. It’s fine if he doesn’t want such brotherhood,” the Empress said with a fierce expression.

Rong Jin’s deep gaze became slightly strange. He looked at a large cabinet not far away and continued, “Please calm down, mother. I am willing to do this. It has nothing to do with Rong Xun. Besides, I treat Ruo Ruo like a parent and son. Even if Rong Xun ascends the throne, she will be crowned as the Crown Prince. At that time, the throne will still be passed on to Ruo Ruo Ruo.”

When the Empress heard Rong Xun’s words, she scolded him in her heart. However, she forced a smile on her face and sighed. Then, she looked at the big box not far away and whispered, “You silly child, what do you want? As long as the Empress Mother has something, I can give it to you.”

“I just want to live an ordinary life,” Rong Jin’s expression softened as if he had thought of something interesting.

The Empress stared at the affection on Rong Jin’s face. The hands under the wide sleeve were tightly clenched together. An embarrassed expression appeared on his face. His heart was filled with hatred. He wished he could tear all the affection on Rong Jin’s face to shreds. ‘”You were born in the royal family. It is absolutely impossible for you to live an ordinary life. However, you have already passed the year of weakness and are going to have a wife and son. The Empress Mother has already found a marriage. She is the daughter of the Empress Mu Zhi. Zhi’er’s appearance is rare in the world. She is generous and gentle. You will definitely be satisfied.”

Although the Empress spoke very well, there was a hint of jealousy in her eyes. If possible, she would definitely not marry Rong Jin. However, if she married Rong Jin, she would be willing to let Rong Jin abandon Yun Xiao.

Moreover, even though Mu Zhi was also the daughter of the first wife, she and Mu Xuan were two different types of people. Mu Zhi Kong had a beautiful appearance, but she was obedient and could be manipulated by her.

Rong Jin bowed and bowed to the Empress. He said loudly, “Mother, I already have a place in my heart and became married in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Although Cousin Zhi’er is good, she is not my match.”

“You!” The Empress was repeatedly rejected by Rong Jin, and her expression was extremely ugly. However, she still looked at Rong Jin with a loving expression. There was a trace of admiration hidden in her brows, but it was well concealed by her.

Moreover, when she heard that Rong Jin was unwilling to marry Mu Zhi, she felt happy for no reason. She just remembered that he was doing it for Yun Xiao, and the hatred in her heart could not be stopped.

He took a deep breath and calmed himself down. Then, he said indifferently, “I heard that you brought back a woman. That woman is pregnant. Is there anything wrong with that?”

Rong Jin openly admitted, “But there is this matter.” He did not hesitate in the slightest.

Yun Xiao, who was in the big cabinet, saw this. Her eyes were glittering and translucent, and her abdomen was in pain. However, she did not seem to be able to feel it. All that remained was joy in her heart. In this lifetime, she had finally married the right person!

However, she couldn’t help but feel heartache for Rong Jin. There was actually such a mother. Although Rong Jin and Rong Xun were both her own, she encouraged Rong Jin and Rong Xun to become enemies.

Yun Xiao stared fixedly at Rong Jin outside. Her gaze was filled with joy. She heard the Empress’s voice continue, “If you were to choose between that woman and the child, which one would you choose?”

Yun Xiao clenched her hands tightly and stared at Rong Jin. She kept saying in her heart, “Choose a child Choose a child” Now, seeing Rong Jin openly refuse to marry her in front of the Empress, her heart was filled with emotion. Even if she died at this moment, Yun Xiao did not have the slightest regret.

However, she still had a child in her stomach. The child that she and Rong Jin had been longing for must not be in trouble.

Yun Xiao’s ears pricked up, not wanting to miss Rong Jin’s words.

However, Rong Jin said loudly with confidence, “There’s no possibility. As long as I’m still here, I won’t allow anything to happen to them!”

“Is that so? What if I have to choose?” The Empress’s voice carried a hint of aggressiveness.

“Then use my life to exchange for their lives!” Rong Jin stared fixedly at the Empress. His black eyes were filled with determination, and something was flashing in his eyes. He used these words to express his determination to the Empress.

The Empress also stared at Rong Jin’s expression and waited for Rong Jin’s answer. However, she did not expect that Rong Jin would say such a thing. Her chest immediately ached from anger, and her face was embarrassed. She looked at the wardrobe not far away. She clenched her fists tightly, and a trace of coldness flashed through her eyes.

Since you want to trade your own life for theirs, then I’ll take their lives first!

As long as no one saved Yun Xiao, in a while, Yun Xiao and the child in her belly would die.

Thinking of this, the Empress suddenly took a step back and covered her heart. She cried out in pain, “Aiyo …”

Rong Jin frowned. There was a trace of disgust in his eyes, but he had no choice but to step forward and support the Empress. “Mother, how are you? Do you want to call the imperial physician?”

The Empress nodded and said, “Help me in to rest for a while.”

Rong Jinen gave a loud shout and helped the Empress walk towards the inner hall. He did not forget to instruct the palace maids guarding outside to call for a doctor. Even though he had a body full of medical skills, he did not want to see the Empress at all.

He looked faintly at the wardrobe not far away and saw a pair of Gujing Wubo’s eyes with faint tear stains. The pain in his heart diverted his gaze.

Xiaoxiao, wait a bit longer. As long as you wait a bit longer, someone will save you!

The Empress was supported into the inner hall by Rong Jin. Before she was about to cross the screen, she looked at the big box not far away with a cold gaze. There was a thick sneer in her eyes, and then she tightened her grip on Rong Jin’s hand. “Jin’er, Mother is not feeling well today. Can you stay here with Mother?”

Rong Jin thought for a moment before nodding, “Alright.”

The Empress’s eyes were filled with pride as she followed Rong Jin into the inner hall.

Auntie Lan brought Imperial Physician Liu back. After entering the palace, she first glanced at the innermost cabinet and then said to Imperial Physician Liu and the palace maid beside her, “Auntie Yang, bring Imperial Physician in first.”

Aunt Yang graciously extended her hand to invite Imperial Physician Liu into the inner hall.

Aunt Lan turned around and walked to the big cabinet. She glanced at her tearful eyes and whispered, “Madam, endure for a while longer.”

At this moment, Yun Xiao was in so much pain that she was about to close her breath. However, her mind was constantly responding to Rong Jin’s words. She clenched her fists tightly. For the sake of the child, she could not die yet.

Just as she was in a trance, she suddenly heard someone speak. The only light in front of her was blocked by someone. She stared blankly at the palace maid who spoke. She thought, since she could say such words at this time, she should be Rong Jin’s person, right?

Unexpectedly, the Empress had planted Qing Mo and Qing Liu beside him, and Rong Jin had also planted an Aunt Lan beside the Empress, especially since Aunt Lan was a personal palace maid beside the Empress.

However, what Yun Xiao couldn’t understand was why they had such a scheme despite being mother and son. It didn’t look like they were mother and son anymore.

The last bit of light disappeared. Yun Xiao did not know if she could be saved if she continued to endure. She tightly closed her eyes. As long as there was a sliver of hope, she could not give up for the sake of the child in her stomach.

Taking a light breath, she felt as if she had seen those black eyes again. The moment she looked at each other, she didn’t know if Rong Jin had seen her.

At this moment, she suddenly felt her body sinking and her expression changed slightly. Could it be that she was really going to die because of this?

Yun Xiao suddenly opened her eyes and saw her body slowly descending along with a wooden board.

Yun Xiao’s eyes were filled with doubt. This speed was too slow, as if someone was dragging her along.

Suddenly, a faint yellow light appeared in front of him. He raised his head and faced a ebony ghost mask.

Yun Xiao opened her lips and looked at the man in front of her in disbelief, “Rong … Rong Xun?”

“It’s me,” Rong Xun replied. He took out a pill from his bosom and fed it to Yun Xiao’s lips. “For the sake of the child in your stomach, quickly swallow the pill.”

Yun Xiao opened her mouth and swallowed the medicine without thinking. Now, she was saved. For the sake of the child, she would eat anything.

Rong Xun carried Yun Xiao down, then stopped looking at Yun Xiao, signaling the two black-clothed men behind him to block the wooden plank again.

After doing this, Rong Xun immediately led Yun Xiao out without saying a word.

Yun Xiao turned her gaze and looked at the two black-clothed men behind her. Then, she looked at the ebony ghost mask in front of her. Thinking about what she had heard on it, the Empress wanted to sow discord, she felt a little unfair. She calmed down, and her desire for survival grew stronger and stronger. She whispered, “Why did you come?”

Rong Xun wore the ebony ghost mask and couldn’t see his expression clearly, but his voice was unprecedentedly cautious. “Big Brother asked me to come. He stalled with that woman before we could get through. Big Brother is still stalling for time. Let’s leave quickly. Otherwise, that woman will find out that we won’t be able to leave even if we want to.”

Yun Xiao’s body suddenly stiffened. The suspicions in her heart became heavier and heavier, but her heart felt warmer. No wonder Rong Jin would say so much to the Empress. So it was all for her.

She stared fixedly at the man in front of her, her face filled with anxiety. She bit her lip and finally couldn’t hold it back. She asked softly, “Did you say that woman is the Empress? You are mother and son, but why do you look like enemies?”
