Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 493
Chapter 493 Captured Dark Room
The night was getting denser and denser.
Yun Xiao only felt that she had been led away by Zhou Jingyan for a long time. Very quickly, her eyes were covered by a black cloth. Her eyes darkened and she could no longer see anything. She could only feel that the man beside her was constantly running away with her.
Not long after, his eyes lit up. The dim light gently swayed, but it gave him a strange feeling.
Zhou Jingyan put Yun Xiao down. Then, he directly walked to the nearby table and poured himself a cup of tea. Then, he looked at Yun Xiao opposite him and said, “We’ve traveled so far. Do you want a cup too?”
Yun Xiao glanced at the teacup and blinked her eyes. Zhou Jingyan immediately walked over and untied Yun Xiao’s acupoints. She saw Yun Xiao walking over without any fear. She picked up the tea he poured and drank it. She was really thirsty along the way.
Zhou Jingyan glanced at Yun Xiao, then picked up the teapot and filled it up again. He looked at her with a smile, and a strange emotion flashed through his eyes. “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll put something in the tea?”
Yun Xiao directly turned her head to look at him. A trace of disdain flashed in her eyes. Then, she said directly, “If you want to do something, I am in your hands now. There is no need to add anything to the tea, is there? Instead, it seems like it is superfluous.”
After Yun Xiao finished speaking, her small hand gently shook the tea. A little powder fell from her fingernails. Seeing that the tea was still the same as before, she picked it up and took a sip.
She drank the tea that Zhou Jingyan poured, not because she trusted Zhou Jingyan, but because she trusted Rong Jin.
In the past half a year, although life was very comfortable, Yun Xiao had never relaxed her vigilance.
Rong Jin was even more afraid that something would happen to Yun Xiao. He drank something that he couldn’t drink, so he directly gave her a medicine that could be hidden under her fingernails at any time. As long as this medicine touched something poisonous, its expression would immediately change.
She had just tested the tea, and it was clear that there was no toxin. That was why she drank it so boldly and relieved.
“Fourth Young Lady is straightforward.” Zhou Jingyan’s deep brows stared at Yun Xiao’s face motionlessly and did not withdraw his gaze. However, when he said this, his gaze was filled with unconcealable disgust.
Yun Xiao didn’t care about Zhou Jingyan’s dislike at all. The two of them were enemies. If they didn’t dislike him, it would already be a great joyous occasion. Yun Xiao put down the teacup and signaled for Zhou Jingyan to pour himself another cup.
Zhou Jingyan’s face darkened. Yun Xiao was obviously kidnapped by him, but now, she actually treated him as a slave.
Zhou Jingyan’s eyes immediately flashed with killing intent. However, this killing intent was only temporary. After a short moment, it immediately returned to normal. A strange look flashed through his eyes. He picked up the teapot with his big hand and flicked it twice before picking up the teapot to refresh Yun Xiao’s tea. “I didn’t expect that it would be half a year since we last saw each other. Fourth Young Lady is still as refreshing as before.”
Yun Xiao flicked the powder under her fingernails into the teacup again. The tea suddenly turned red, and then the red color disappeared. It had returned to normal. A strange light flashed through Yun Xiao’s eyes.
“The Third Prince seems to have said something wrong. I have already married a woman and am no longer the same as the previous Fourth Young Lady,” he said with a chuckle as he flicked his small hand gently on the teacup, but did not drink the tea inside.
Zhou Jingyan saw that Yun Xiao had already looked at the cup of tea for a while, but did not move. His gaze flashed slightly as he looked at Yun Xiao with a burning gaze. He said softly, “In my heart, you will always be the fourth young lady of the Yun Clan.”
When addressing me, Yun Xiao did not explain any further. Instead, she chuckled softly, “Let’s not talk about this matter for now. I just want to know that the Third Prince used so much effort to kidnap me. He definitely did not come here to talk to me about such a trivial matter, did he?”
Zhou Jingyan laughed loudly twice and then said, “You’re right. It’s just that someone wants to see you, so I did a favor.”
When Yun Xiao heard this, a strange light flashed through her clear eyes. In Country of Xiyue, Yun Xiao could be said to not know many people.
The only person who hated Yun Xiao was the two of them, either Mu Xuan or the Empress. No, the current An Hua was already the Empress Dowager.
Seeing that Yun Xiao was no longer interested in her topic, Zhou Jingyan frowned slightly. He wasn’t worried, but he still said, “Isn’t Fourth Young Lady interested in the person I was talking about?”
Yun Xiao glanced at him and said indifferently, “I’m a little interested. However, since that person wants to see me, he must be more interested in me. Since he has a lot of interest, it won’t be long before I can see that person. If I find out earlier, it will affect my mood. It doesn’t seem like I don’t know anything.”
Although this sentence was a good one, it was full of ridicule in Zhou Jingyan’s mouth.
Yun Xiao only smiled faintly and did not respond, “I’m already very tired after we’ve been traveling for so long tonight. I wonder if the Third Prince has prepared a place for me to rest?”
“Heh, you can enjoy it!” The ridicule in Zhou Jingyan’s eyes was undisguised. Then, he pointed to the bed that Yun Xiao had just laid on and said coldly, “That’s where you slept tonight.”
Yun Xiao placed the teacup in her hand on the table and nodded at Zhou Jingyan. She turned around and walked towards the bed. She pulled the blanket off her body and fell asleep as if no one else was around.
When Zhou Jingyan saw this, his gaze was filled with unconcealable mockery and even more dense disdain. With a cold laugh, he turned around and left. However, when he reached the door, he said directly, “I hope that the fourth young lady will be as calm as she is now after she wakes up tomorrow.”
Yun Xiao did not turn her head. She just sneered and said directly, “Thank you Third Prince for your concern.”
Hearing Yun Xiao’s words, Zhou Jingyan immediately turned around and left.
Yun Xiao was lying alone on the small wooden bed. This bed was very small and hard. It was not comfortable to sleep on. In addition, the quilt covering her body also had a slight wet smell. It made people feel even more uncomfortable.
Yun Xiao listened to the sound of footsteps moving away bit by bit, and then turned to look at the door, her gaze flashing with a faint peculiarity.
She remembered what Zhou Jingyan had said before. He couldn’t help but scoff. Looking around the room, The surroundings were pitch-black, and her gaze was filled with deep worry. When she came, her eyes were blocked by someone, and she couldn’t remember the way forward. She originally wanted to mark Rong Jin on the road, but Zhou Jingyan directly pointed at her acupoints. Yun Xiao, who couldn’t move, was naturally powerless to do so.
She let out a long sigh. If her guess was correct, this should be Zhou Jingyan’s stronghold in Country of Xiyue. Now, Zhou Jingyan was willing to let her appear here.
However, Yun Xiao quickly remembered another thing. If what she expected was correct, it should be that An Hua wanted to see her. That woman was a fake. If she wanted to see her, she definitely didn’t have any good intentions. She just didn’t know how she would torture herself.
Even so, Yun Xiao was a little happy. An Hua hated her so much, so she should also hate the original Empress. If possible, she might be locked up with the original Empress.
While Yun Xiao was thinking nonsense, she slowly fell asleep. She did not know that the people outside had turned Mei City upside down in order to find her.
Although Yun Xiao had already fallen asleep, in such a strange place, Yun Xiao did not dare to fall asleep too deeply. Therefore, when she heard a strange voice, Yun Xiao’s eyes unconsciously moved slightly.
Then, she heard a “hiss” sound. Yun Xiao’s heart tightened. At this moment, there seemed to be something strange about the quilt on her body. Then, something wet and slippery slipped into the quilt along Yun Xiao’s feet.
This cold feeling instantly stimulated Yun Xiao’s spirit. Hearing the approaching voice of Snake Messenger, Yun Xiao thought of Zhou Jingyan’s last words when he left the wet place. What was there in her heart that she did not understand?
Zhou Jingyan deliberately released this snake to scare him!
Yun Xiao quickly calmed herself down. Using the dim yellow light, Yun Xiao lifted the quilt, ignoring whether it would anger the python.
When Yun Xiao opened the quilt, she saw an arm-thick python moving against her body. The snake messenger that she swallowed made people feel threatened. However, what surprised Yun Xiao was that this python was staring at her waist with burning eyes.
Yun Xiao followed the python’s eyes and looked over. She noticed that there was a small purse on her waist. The bird embroidered on this small purse was very exquisite and lifelike, as if it was about to spread its wings and fly. It was very beautiful.
However, Yun Xiao was certain that the python was definitely not attracted to this bird!
Yun Xiao thought for a moment. Suddenly, her eyes widened. She suddenly remembered that some time ago, after the little white snake woke up, Yun Xiao was used to letting Xiao Bai stay in her small purse, so she also allowed the little white snake to continue living in the purse.
Could it be that this python was looking at the little white snake?
That gaze that was flickering with a dense threat, could it be that he treated the little white snake as a natural enemy?
Yun Xiao was dumbfounded. The little white snake was only the length of a person’s finger. It was pitifully small. It was simply incomparable to this colossus. If the two snakes were to face each other, the little white snake would obviously be on the pitiful side.
Yun Xiao saw that the python had been staring at the purse at her waist, so she stretched out her hand to unpack it. However, just as her hand touched the purse, she saw that the python’s Snake Messenger swallowed even faster. Her pair of eyes that looked like a bronze mausoleum contracted even more violently, and her entire body arched up rapidly as if she was facing a great enemy, as if she would counterattack at any moment.
Yun Xiao was a little surprised by the python’s actions, but seeing that the python was far away from her body, she finally heaved a sigh of relief and took off her purse from her waist without thinking.
