Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 486

Chapter 486 News Of Prince’s Death

At noon, Yun Xiao and Rong Jin ate lunch and fed Nuo and Tongtong Er Xiao. They were already exhausted.

Because Yun Xiao was a lunar child, many things were left to Rong Jin.

Yun Xiao hugged Nuo and coaxed Nuo to sleep. She placed Tongtong on a small bed and saw Rong Jin walking in from outside with a bowl of soup in her hand.

Yun Xiao frowned. Although Rong Jin’s expression was the same as usual, Wang Hei’s eyes were deeper than usual.

After spending a long time with Rong Jin, Yun Xiao could feel the slightest change in Rong Jin’s expression. She took the soup from Rong Jin’s hand and asked doubtfully, “What happened?”

Rong Jin gestured for Yun Xiao to drink the decoction first. Drinking the medicine while it was hot would allow the medicinal effects to be better displayed. Now, Yun Xiao, who had just given birth to her twins, had her body emptied. She had to properly recuperate, otherwise, it would be very bad for her health.

Yun Xiao did not think too much. She drank the soup and handed the bowl to Rong Jin before asking softly, “Did something happen to that woman? Did something happen to Rong Xun and Ruo Ruo?”

Rong Jin shook his head. “No, today’s ascension ceremony went smoothly, Rong Xun had already issued an edict for Ruo to ascend to the throne as the Yue Emperor, Although An Hua was dissatisfied, But he didn’t dare to cause any trouble in front of the officials, He had only mobilized a portion of the civil and military officials to stir up trouble, These people were Anhua’s trusted aides, “Taking this opportunity, Rong Xun took out evidence of corruption and bribery from these officials and beheaded them on the spot. Even if An Hua felt resentment, there was no room for rebuttal. The other officials did not dare to object. Now, the road ahead was already paved. Relying on Ruo’s ability, it was no big deal to govern Country of Xiyue. With Rong Xun and I watching from the side, nothing serious would happen.”

Within the Imperial Court, There weren’t many people who were truly honest and upright, but there were very few. As long as they had the intention, they would naturally be able to find evidence that those officials were corrupt and bribed. He had already asked the people of the Ten Directions Palace to gather all the evidence of their crimes. It wasn’t that they didn’t take action, they were just waiting for an opportunity. Today’s ascension ceremony was the best opportunity, so Rong Jin naturally wouldn’t miss it.

Today, this lightning technique had killed almost all of An Hua’s right and left arms. It could also be considered a net strike, and An Hua could only swallow it into his stomach along with the blood.

Right now, only the Mu Clan was left. The mother of the two of them was from the Mu Clan, and the Empress Mother was most likely hiding in the Mu Clan. Rong Xun and Rong Jin did not move for the time being.

Yun Xiao nodded and decapitated An Hua’s people. Although his methods were a bit ruthless, only such lightning methods could suppress people and lay the foundation for Ruo Ruo.

Moreover, since Rong Jin and Rong Xun had that intention, they naturally wanted to eliminate their dissidents. People from the Eastern Jin Dynasty were everywhere in Country of Xiyue, and no matter who it was, they would not be able to sleep peacefully.

Yun Xiao was very clear about this, so she did not continue to ask. Seeing that Rong Jin’s eyebrows were still slightly worried, her heart tightened and she was a little nervous. “Then why are you upset? Did something happen in the Eastern Jin Dynasty?” Her family was still in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, so Yun Xiao was very concerned about it. Every few days, she would need someone to report on the matters of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Rong Jin glanced at Yun Xiao. Seeing that Yun Xiao’s expression was anxious, he did not intend to hide it from her. “Just now, news came from the Eastern Jin Dynasty that the Crown Prince, Zhou Jingchen, had been assassinated.”

“What?” Yun Xiao looked at Rong Jin in astonishment. There was a strong sense of unease in her expression. Seeing that Nuo Nuo was shouting because of her loud voice, Yun Xiao immediately lowered her voice and gently patted Nuo Nuo and Tong Tong. Seeing Er Xiao fall asleep again, she heaved a sigh of relief. “How did Zhou Jingchen get assassinated? How did Zhou Jingxu do? What happened?”

“I heard that someone was assassinated during the ritual ceremony in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The Crown Prince Zhou Jingchen was killed in order to save the Jin Emperor. Zhou Jingxu was only injured. It was not a big deal. However, because of the death of the Crown Prince Zhou Jingchen, the Jin Emperor fell ill again. His body probably won’t last long,” Rong Jin said. His gaze became even more profound. The current Eastern Jin was truly too chaotic.

“What about Zhou Jingyan?” Yun Xiao’s gaze was like ice. In the sacrificial ceremony, the Guards Legion Corps must have protected the people of the Imperial Clan from the third level of the inner palace and the third level of the outer palace.

As for the assassin, he was actually able to pass through numerous obstacles and assassinate in front of the Jin Emperor. No matter how strange he looked at it, if someone hadn’t colluded with him, this matter wouldn’t have been so serious.

Yun Xiao’s first reaction was that this person was Zhou Jingyan.

Zhou Jingyan was also seriously injured. He heard that many doctors had gone. The doctors shook their heads and said that there was no hope of saving him. The Third Prince’s Concubine and the Concubine’s Concubine were by his side. They had been using ginseng soup to kill him. He didn’t die, but it didn’t look very good. Rong Jin also felt that this matter was very strange. Furthermore, Rong Jin shared Yun Xiao’s thoughts. This matter was done by Zhou Jingyan.

Right now, it was just a play directed and performed by Zhou Jingyan.

However, no one dared to jump to conclusions before the truth of the matter came out.

The two exchanged glances and saw the same thought in each other’s eyes. “See if Zhou Jingyan can survive in a few days. If he survives, it means that this assassination is a play directed by Zhou Jingyan. If that’s the case, this person can be so ruthless towards him. His heart must be extremely ruthless.”

Yun Xiao smiled self-deprecatingly. In this world, there was no one who was more ruthless than Zhou Jingyan. “How many princes of the Eastern Jin Dynasty were left unharmed?”

“Right now, only the Seventh Prince, Zhou Jingrui, is uninjured. The others are either injured or dead, or too young. Now, the Jin Emperor has ordered the Seventh Prince to be grounded in the Seventh Prince’s Mansion.” Right now, everyone believed that Zhou Jingrui was the murderer and wanted to kill his relatives in order to fight for the throne.

In the eyes of everyone, Zhou Jingrui had already become a murderer without blinking an eye.

Yun Xiao’s eyes contracted violently, and a strange look flashed in her eyes. Right now, all the princes had an accident, even the Jin Emperor had fallen ill, and the Crown Prince was gone. The ministers would definitely ask the Jin Emperor to establish the Crown Prince as soon as possible. This position of Crown Prince was probably becoming harder to earn.

Yun Xiao narrowed her eyes for a moment, then returned to normal. Only then did she softly say, “If you have just ascended the throne, it won’t be long before the Eastern Jin Dynasty sends people to congratulate you. I wonder which prince will be sent here.”

If only it was Zhou Jingxu. After leaving the Eastern Jin Dynasty for so long, she could also inquire about the Eastern Jin Dynasty from Zhou Jingxu.

“Let’s wait and see. In a few days, the Eastern Jin Dynasty will submit their credentials to congratulate him.” No one dared to be certain about the future. Rong Jin did not expect such a big change to happen.

Rong Jin thought for a moment before he said, “Since the Eastern Jin Dynasty is in such chaos, shouldn’t we take over both father-in-law and mother-in-law first?”

Yun Xiao’s eyes lit up slightly. Now that they were separated, Yun Xiao was also worried. If she could take over all the Yun Family members, Yun Xiao would have no worries about the future.

However, the Yun Clan had been entangled in the capital for so many years, and now, the eldest sister of the Second Uncle Clan was already married. If she wanted to take over everyone, it would definitely arouse suspicion among many people.

However, no matter what, Yun Xiao felt that she had to give it a try. She nodded her head gently, “I’ll write a letter. Help me deliver it. If father and mother are willing to come, please send someone to escort them. If they are unwilling, I’ll personally pick them up when I’m out of the moonlight and the Eastern Jin Dynasty is in chaos.”

Rong Jin’s eyes were filled with worry, “Your body isn’t well yet. Even if you’re out of the moonlight, you shouldn’t travel long distances.”

Yun Xiao smiled shyly, but a strange emotion flashed through her eyes. “It doesn’t matter. I’ll have to trouble my husband to help me with my body in the month.”

If possible, she was also unwilling to go to the Eastern Jin Dynasty. However, there were some things that had not happened, and the grudge between her and Zhou Jingyan was even more inconclusive. Therefore, this trip to the Eastern Jin Dynasty was very necessary.

Seeing Yun Xiao’s words, Rong Jin knew that she had already made up her mind. Moreover, there was no room for regret. He could only helplessly shake his head and say, “If you really want to go back, I will go back with you.”

Yun Xiao hesitated for a moment and nodded. After finishing her business, Yun Xiao said, “Husband, I have given birth to both Nuo Nuo and Tong Tong. Now that I am idle, it is also boring. Can I continue to open up the restaurant?”

Since Rong Jin had that thought in his heart, as Rong Jin’s wife, Yun Xiao felt that she had to do something.

However, as a woman, there was very little she could do.

However, if they really wanted to start a war, it would mean spending money. All the funds, medicinal ingredients, grain, and other things needed to be prepared.

As the daughter of the Emperor Shang Clan’s first wife, Yun Xiao secretly decided that if possible, she would pack all the things she needed as much as possible.

She was now in charge of all the properties under Rong Jin’s name, and when she got married, her father had even given her half of the Yun Clan property as dowry. Therefore, even the Imperial Court was not as rich as Yun Xiao.

In the Eastern Jin and Western Yue countries, if Yun Xiao dared to be ranked second among the wealthy, no one would dare to be ranked first.

However, Rong Jin stared at the glittering light in Yun Xiao’s calm eyes and felt a headache.

Whose wife is like Yun Xiao? She can’t be idle at all. Seeing that the expectations in Yun Xiao’s eyes are getting thicker and thicker, Rong Jin first smiles at Yun Xiao. Then, a bit of determination flashes across his gentle face. “No, now that you have nurtured Nuo and Tongtong, I am already satisfied. As for other things, I can do.”

Yun Xiao snorted coldly. Gujing Wubo’s eyes were filled with dissatisfaction. He snorted coldly and said, “It’s fine if you don’t agree. Anyway, I will secretly do it. I’m just telling you now, I’m just informing you, not discussing with you.”

Hearing Yun Xiao’s words, Rong Jin’s gentle face darkened. “Xiao Xiao, you’re getting bolder and bolder.”

Rong Jin’s eyes flashed and the corners of his mouth curved into a faint arc. “I learned it from you. I know how to play first and then I will do it.”

However, right at this moment, Nuo and Tongtong, who were asleep, began to cry again. Yun Xiao’s face darkened as she handed one of them to Rong Jin and gently coaxed him.
