Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 513
Chapter 513 Temporary Shock
It was too late!
Just as Yun Xiao’s voice fell, the person with a bloody face on the bed was suddenly shocked. He held a sharp blade in his hand and stabbed towards Rong Jin’s direction.
Yun Xiao sucked in a breath of cold air. What else did she not understand at this moment?
Everything that happened today was originally a trap given to them by others, but they didn’t expect that they would still jump in.
Yun Xiao reminded him in time. When Rong Jin saw the bloodstained woman quickly get up from the bed, a trace of killing intent flashed across his black eyes. Then, he took a step back with Yun Xiao in his arms.
“Someone!” When she saw Rong Jin retreat, Yun Xiao immediately shouted towards the direction outside the door.
He saw a few soldiers rushing in from outside, as well as the general guarding the city.
These people quickly surrounded the bloodstained woman and fought against her.
When Yun Xiao saw this, she immediately went to check Rong Jin’s body. Seeing that there were no wounds on Rong Jin’s body, she heaved a sigh of relief. “Fortunately, it’s fine.”
Compared to Yun Xiao, Rong Jin’s gaze was a little more shocked. If Yun Xiao hadn’t warned him earlier today, he would probably have been plotted against so close.
However, to Rong Jin’s surprise, how could Yun Xiao know that this person was fake?
Seeing the doubt in Rong Jin’s eyes, Yun Xiao smiled miserably. When she thought of the True Empress she saw, her gaze became a little strange.
She thought about what had happened tonight. If she hadn’t noticed it earlier, she would have had doubts when she saw the tall quilt. Today, they would really have been killed.
The True Empress no longer had any skin on her body. There were only a few pieces of meat and some important parts of her body. Her body was so shriveled that she could not even tell that she looked like a person. She was clearly not the same as the tall and bulging person. When Yun Xiao saw this, she felt doubts in her heart. When she saw the bloody man’s face, her heart immediately became certain.
There was no skin on the Queen’s face at all. Although she was bloodstained, she did not look like the woman on the bed at all. All of the above was enough to show how this person could be the Queen.
Yun Xiao hesitated for a while before finally deciding to tell the truth. Otherwise, when Rong Jin didn’t know the truth, he would really be nervous because of his close kinship and would forget to be vigilant. At that time, it was most likely that someone would attack him.
After taking a deep breath, Yun Xiao said, “Rong Jin, I saw your mother. Your mother’s skin was peeled off.”
Yun Xiao only said this, but because Rong Jin’s grip on her hand suddenly increased, she swallowed the rest of the words. She was also somewhat unable to continue.
Yun Xiao did not know how to describe that miserable situation.
Rong Jin’s hand was very strong, and bursts of pain came from his hand. However, this time, not only did Yun Xiao not frown, there was not a trace of anything unusual about it. She only looked at Rong Jin with a determined expression.
Now, Rong Jin had done so much for her, and she had also married Rong Jin. The two of them were one. She no longer thought about what she had said to Rong Jin before about having a child and clearing it up.
Rong Jin’s face turned pale in an instant before he returned to normal. As Yun Xiao and Rong Jin were talking, the general and soldiers guarding the city had already captured the woman covered in blood.
When the woman saw that the situation was wrong, she immediately bit the pill under her tongue and killed herself.
Rong Jin’s eyes narrowed slightly. A silver needle shot out from his palm and aimed at the woman’s chin. It had just hit the woman’s chin, preventing her from moving the poison under her tongue.
The woman did not expect Rong Jin to do this. She immediately bit her tongue and killed herself. The silver needle that Rong Jin shot out once again landed on the woman’s body. The moment the silver needle entered her body, the woman’s strength seemed to be drained and fell straight to the ground.
The general asked someone to guard the woman and immediately walked in front of Rong Jin and Yun Xiao. He knelt down respectfully with a face full of shame, “Master, this subordinate has neglected his duty. Please forgive me.” Fortunately, both Rong Jin and Yun Xiao are fine. Otherwise, he would have recommended the killer to his master. Just this alone, Vance would not be able to evade the blame.
Rong Jin just waved his hand and said, “Get up, it’s not your fault.” No one knew what would happen if the person who had been missing for more than ten years suddenly appeared.
Although Rong Jin said this, the general still felt ashamed of Rong Jin.
Rong Jin glanced at the woman carelessly. Thinking of Yun Xiao’s words, a dense silence flashed in his eyes. He then said, “Take care of this woman and try to make up for her mistakes!”
“Yes!”
Rong Jin pulled Yun Xiao out. There were some strange emotions in his black eyes. There were grief, sorrow, confusion, and helplessness. In the depths of his eyes, he seemed to be breathing a sigh of relief.
At this moment, he did not know if this woman was not a mother, a good thing, or a bad thing.
Yun Xiao’s expression was somewhat dispirited when she did not see Daoist Priest. The two of them rode their horses and rushed back again. Neither of them had the mood to speak. The silent atmosphere circulated between the two of them.
Yun Xiao bit her lip and held Rong Jin’s hand tightly. “There’s no news. An Hua won’t let Mother Concubine die now. We can slowly investigate and find her.”
An Hua needed the blood of the True Empress to nourish the extra layer of skin on her body, so even if she wished the True Empress were dead, she still had to keep the True Empress alive.
However, what responded to Yun Xiao was only Rong Jin’s faint muffled snort.
Just as Yun Xiao had said, An Hua would not kill his mother, but what would happen after he found her?
Rong Jin did not dare to protect her. He was able to restore his mother to her original state.
At this moment, Yun Xiao suddenly saw a sneaky figure at the corner of her eyes. Her gaze narrowed slightly, and a strange look flashed across her face. She extended her hand and pointed at Rong Jin, “Let’s go take a look.”
Although he had just casually glanced at it, Yun Xiao could already recognize that the small bottle in that person’s hand seemed to be familiar. When he looked closely again, he felt that the figure was also somewhat familiar. He immediately said this without hesitation.
Seeing that Yun Xiao’s expression was unprecedentedly cautious, Rong Jin knew that the situation was not right. He immediately abandoned the horse and allowed it to continue forward. Rong Jin carried Yun Xiao off the horse lightly and ran towards the direction where the person disappeared with extreme lightness.
As the distance got closer, Yun Xiao felt that the figure was even more familiar.
After careful consideration, a dense killing intent flashed across her elegant little face.
She remembered who this person was! It was precisely the man she had seen skinning for the True Empress in exchange for An Hua. His figure was extremely shrinking, just like in the secret passageway. It was Ding Da.
Yun Xiao thought about the identity of this person clearly, and her heart couldn’t help but thump. Perhaps the True Empress might be here.
Seeing that Rong Jin was about to rush out to subdue Ding Da, Yun Xiao immediately stopped him. She held Rong Jin’s big hand tightly and wrote on it, “Wait a moment.”
Rong Jin looked at Yun Xiao’s face. Seeing that Yun Xiao’s gaze was clear, he nodded and said, “Alright.”
After walking for an incense stick of time, Rong Jin and Yun Xiao almost fainted. Ding Da finally stopped and looked around.
Seeing this, Rong Jin immediately hugged Yun Xiao and hid.
Seeing that there was no one around, Ding Da stepped forward and knocked on the courtyard door. First, there were three urgent knocks on the door, then there were two urgent knocks and one light knock.
Then, a hoarse voice came from inside, “Who is it?”
“I,” said Ding, suppressing his voice.
With a creak, the courtyard door opened and Ding Da immediately walked in.
Seeing this, Yun Xiao wanted to rush forward, but Rong Jin held her hand and said, “Who was that man just now?”
Yun Xiao was stunned for a moment and bit her lip. In the end, she still spoke of Ding Da’s unique skill.
Rong Jin’s eyes flickered with killing intent. In just an instant, it was concealed by Rong Jin. He had already made a decision in his heart. Such a person must not be left behind!
Just as the two of them were about to fly forward, Rong Jin’s gaze suddenly narrowed and the silver needle in his hand flew in one direction!
“Ding ding!”
After two crisp sounds, two silver needles landed on the ground. Another black figure immediately flew towards Rong Jin’s direction. “Big brother, it’s me!”
Yun Xiao and Rong Jin were slightly stunned. No one expected that it would actually be Rong Xun. “Why did you come here? How is the imperial palace now?”
Rong Xun coldly snorted, “I didn’t expect An Hua to raise a lot of loyalists in the Imperial Palace. Fortunately, there weren’t too many of them and they were all under control. An Hua was also sealed in Phoenix Jubilee Palace. There’s nothing else going on.”
Hearing this, Yun Xiao also heaved a sigh of relief, “Ruo Ruo, are you alright?”
‘”Of course not,” Rong Xun sneered. He looked at the door in front of him and said coldly, “I chased after someone from the palace. This person is very concealed. If Aunt Lan hadn’t said that there was someone missing from the Phoenix Jubilee Palace, I wouldn’t have found him. I don’t know what he wanted to do here in the middle of the night. Let’s follow up.”
Yun Xiao and Rong Jin naturally did not have any objections. However, Yun Xiao remembered that Aunt Lan had comforted her when she was taken to the palace of the Imperial Palace. It was fortunate that Aunt Lan had helped her today!
After the three of them discussed it, they did not walk through the door and directly climbed over the wall. This courtyard was a two-way courtyard. From the outside, the courtyard was very simple and there was nothing unusual about it. However, after entering, they discovered that the courtyard was truly extremely luxurious and beautifully decorated.
After Ding Da entered, someone greeted him and saluted him, “Your Excellency, are you here to collect blood again?”
“Why are you talking so much nonsense? Hurry up and bring me over!” Ding Da harshly scolded. His face was full of confusion. He was considering whether he would return to the palace to work for An Hua. After all, An Hua had lost his power now, just like a sick cat.
“Yes, yes!” After being reprimanded, the person who came to meet Ding Da had a more respectful expression.
Yun Xiao winked at Rong Xun and Rong Jin, and the three of them quietly followed.
