Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 527
Chapter 527 See Xiao Yuqi
However, what Yun Xiao did not expect was that an opportunity would soon be placed in front of Yun Xiao.
On this day, Yun Xiao finished reading the ledger and discussed with Yun Maozhe to transfer the silver money that the Yun Clan was convenient to take away first, and then slowly transfer the rest.
Just as they finished their discussion, they saw Second Master Yun walk into the main hall with a strange expression. Yun Xiao was surprised, “Second Uncle, what happened in the previous dynasty?”
Second Master Yun sighed. He said softly, “There is a drought in Jiangcheng. The other cities are also affected. This time, the disaster is serious. The people are really going to suffer this time.” The people are most afraid of drought and floods, Once there was a drought, it meant that grain production would be reduced. Better still, there would be less reduction in production. After paying taxes, the family could still support themselves. However, what they feared the most was that there would be no grain harvest.
Not to mention that a drought usually meant that the locust plague followed closely behind. At that time, there would really be no bark left to eat.
Floods were no better than droughts, so no matter how difficult these two were, they had always been a problem in the hearts of the people.
When Yun Xiao heard Second Master Yun’s words, her eyes lit up and she immediately asked, “Second Uncle, what does the Imperial Court mean?”
Seeing that Yun Xiao was also interested, Second Master Yun couldn’t help but say a few more words, “The Jin Emperor has already gathered his ministers to raise money for the disaster relief. Tomorrow’s meeting will set up an imperial envoy to accompany him.”
Yun Xiao’s eyes also became brighter and brighter. It seemed that Second Master Yun took a glance and said softly, “Second Uncle, first try to see if you can take this job.”
“What do you mean?” Seeing Yun Xiao say this, Second Master Yun felt a little clear in his heart, but he was still a little uncertain.
Yun Xiao first looked tentatively at the people in the living room, He signaled for the others to withdraw, “Second Uncle, now that you are in the previous dynasty, it is very difficult for our family to move out. If there is no change, it will definitely attract the attention of the Jin Emperor. Now, it is difficult to take over the relief work. In the disaster area, there are many people and there are many people. It is a thousand times easier to leave safely than in the capital.”
When Second Master Yun heard Yun Xiao’s words, a trace of praise appeared in his eyes. After hearing her words, he also felt that Yun Xiao’s words were extremely reasonable.
Right now, in the entire Yun Clan, only his identity was the most awkward. “Alright, I’ll listen to you. However, I don’t have much chance of taking on this job.” Although his official position was at the fifth rank, it wasn’t that big. The Jin Emperor probably wouldn’t entrust him with any heavy responsibilities.
However, Yun Xiao smiled indifferently. The corner of her mouth curved up slightly and said softly, “Don’t worry, Second Uncle, this matter can definitely fall on you.”
Second Master Yun did not know where Yun Xiao’s confidence came from, but Yun Maozhe seemed to understand, “Second Brother, you listened to Xiao Xiao correctly.”
Now that such a large disaster area had appeared, the treasury of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was always empty. It was obvious that they had to donate money. Especially those merchants like them, it was the easiest to ruthlessly slaughter the royal family. Especially since the Yun Clan was the biggest imperial merchant, they were definitely the target of slaughter.
Moreover, he had to be ruthlessly slaughtered.
Thinking of this, Yun Maozhe felt a slight pain in his flesh.
However, he could use this request to let Second Master Yun serve as the imperial envoy this time.
Yun Xiao smiled at Yun Maozhe and said softly, “I will think of a way to deal with this matter.”
Second Master Yun glanced at Yun Xiao and nodded. Those victims were truly pitiful. If the official silver that he had gathered did not fall into the hands of the victims, it would be truly hateful if it fell into the hands of the corrupt officials. In this way, it would not be as if he himself was in charge.
The three of them quickly discussed the details and let Second Master Yun go first. Bring his two sons with him. At that time, someone will take care of them.
After leaving the three members of the Yun Clan, the others would be easily moved.
After resolving the most worrying matter, Yun Xiao also heaved a sigh of relief. However, what Yun Xiao did not expect was that this sigh of relief was really too fast.
This was because Eunuch Wei had come to issue an imperial edict and personally invited Yunxiao into the palace.
Yun Xiao’s expression was a little strange. It was obvious that the reason why she was invited to the palace at this time was to raise funds. However, she did not expect that Rong Jin would also express his desire to move forward together.
Yun Xiao frowned. With Rong Jin by her side, she felt a little more at ease. She smiled brightly and said, “Eunuch Wei, my husband also wants to go together. Do you think it’s feasible?”
“Naturally, the Emperor also gathered Young Master Rong.” Eunuch Wei smiled softly, but his eyes were filled with intense inquiry as he swept his gaze back and forth between their faces.
After bidding farewell to the Yun Family and stepping onto the carriage to the Imperial Palace, Yun Xiao’s expression became somewhat embarrassed.
The news that she was still alive was only spread out yesterday. I didn’t expect that the Jin Emperor would already know about it. It seems that the Jin Emperor had people keep an eye on the movements of the Yun Clan at all times. As a result, it would be more difficult for the Yun Clan to escape unscathed.
Seeing that Yun Xiao was nervous, Rong Jin reached out and held her hand. Then, his well-knit fingers climbed onto Yun Xiao’s arm and gently rubbed it. He said softly, “Don’t be nervous, the soldiers will cover the water and earth. Don’t worry.”
Yun Xiao’en leaned against Rong Jin and whispered, “I wonder what happened to Nuo and Tongtong?” Er Xiao was always picky, so he didn’t know if he would be hungry and thin after not seeing her for such a long time.
“Don’t worry, Rong Xun and Ruo Ruo will take good care of them.” Rong Jin was also a little worried. He was especially worried about Tong Tong’s health. She was obviously so weak. If she didn’t eat or drink, it would be very difficult for her body to recover.
Speaking of which, they were not competent parents. They gently patted Yun Xiao’s body twice with their big hands and said softly, “After settling the matter of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, let’s go back. In the future, we will bring Nuo and Tongtong with us and never separate again.” It’s really not a good feeling to worry about something like this.
“Alright,” Yun Xiao nodded heavily. Right now, they weren’t around Er Xiao, so they had to be ruthless. He didn’t want to continue to worry about the topic. Instead, Yun Xiao changed the topic. “I heard that the Jin Emperor’s health is deteriorating. I wonder how long he can last this time.”
“I’ll see. I only hope that before Zhou Jingyan returns, the Jin Emperor is dead.” In this way, Zhou Jingyan’s hatred might not be destined for the throne.
Yun Xiao frowned. However, when talking about Zhou Jingyan, she always had a bad feeling in her heart.
The carriage soon arrived at the entrance of the imperial palace. Yun Xiao and Rong Jin got off the carriage and looked at the high palace wall, their eyes slightly blurred.
Eunuch Wei had already welcomed them and said with a smile, “The two of you, quickly follow this servant inside. Your Majesty has been happy to hear that County Lord An Ping and Young Master Rong have not died for a long time today. When you see the County Lord and Young Master Rong, Your Majesty will definitely be very happy. With this happiness, Your Majesty will recover from his illness.”
The corner of Yun Xiao’s mouth twitched slightly. If the Jin Emperor saw them, her illness would be better. She would definitely not go to see the Jin Emperor. However, she still smiled and said, “Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern.”
“Speaking of which, since the county princess was not born at that time, why didn’t you come back earlier?”
Yun Xiao looked at each other calmly, but her face was a little embarrassed. She said casually, “At that time, her face was burned to the point of ruining her appearance. She did not dare to come back, so she went to seek a doctor with her husband. Her appearance was just right, so she came back in a hurry.”
Eunuch Wei looked at Yun Xiao’s face for a while, but he didn’t see any traces of disfiguration. He said with a joyful expression, “I wonder what kind of miraculous doctor this is? He can actually restore her appearance to its original state?”
Yun Xiao was slightly stunned. Looking at Eunuch Wei’s face, she understood what Eunuch Wei was thinking. He wanted to find the divine doctor to treat the Jin Emperor. “It’s a traveling divine doctor. It took us less than half a year to find him.”
Eunuch Wei couldn’t conceal his disappointment. If he wanted to find someone for half a year, then the Divine Doctor would probably be dead as well. “You two should go into the palace together first,” he said.
Yun Xiao’en said. She felt that Rong Jin’s deep eyes had been staring at her. She glanced sideways and blinked her eyes. However, in the blink of an eye, she saw a carriage slowly stop not far away.
A graceful woman got off the carriage. She combed her hair in a bun and wore only a hairpin. She wore a lotus-colored dress. Her skirts were overlapping like lotus flowers in a summer lotus pond. It made people feel better after looking at her, and the heat in their hearts inevitably lessened.
When Yun Xiao looked over, the woman just turned around and stared at her. Her eyes were ice-cold, and the corner of her mouth raised slightly. She raised a trace of a bloodthirsty smile. Her mouth opened and closed, and then she turned around.
Although it was only a blink of an eye, Yun Xiao could clearly read out what she said, “We meet again.”
A strange look appeared in Yun Xiao’s eyes. She did not expect to meet Xiao Yuqi at the entrance of the Imperial Palace.
Taking a deep breath, he saw another woman wearing a light pink dress walk out of the carriage. Her hair had an exquisite set of hair. The bright red gemstone emitted a faint glow in the sunlight. However, her beautiful face was filled with dense anger.
When Yun Xiao looked over, she also looked over. When she met Yun Xiao’s face, she was slightly stunned, her gaze carrying an expression of disbelief.
Yun Xiao nodded slightly at county princess Huining and withdrew her gaze.
Nowadays, the two of them were the Third Prince’s Concubine and the Side Concubine. It was only natural for them to sit in the same carriage. It was because they were making a fuss.
Originally, Concubine Xian was not destined to see Tian Yan, but who would allow County Lord Huining’s status to be more noble?
Yun Xiao lowered her eyes. Judging from the reactions of Xiao Yuqi and county princess Huining just now, she could already determine who was the guardian of the monastery and the person who monitored Yun Clan.
