Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 528

Chapter 528 Meaningful
Yun Xiao and Rong Jin exchanged glances and followed behind Eunuch Wei into the palace. Just as they passed by the palace gate, they heard a shrill shout from behind them, “Yun Xiao, stop!”

Yun Xiao only smiled indifferently and continued to walk forward. Instead, her gaze carried a faint sneer.

Even though there was only a brief exchange of glances just now, Yun Xiao was already able to confirm that County Lord Hui Ning must have suffered a lot from Xiao Yuqi’s hands. Otherwise, his expression would not have been so embarrassed.

Right now, even though Yun Xiao wasn’t considered a victor for county princess Hui Ning, she didn’t want to pay any attention to it.

However, the more Yun Xiao ignored it, the angrier county princess Hui Ning became.

After marrying Zhou Jingyan for so long, Zhou Jingyan rarely spent the night in her room. Even if he spent the night in his own room, he did not touch her. This made her very angry. In addition, she suffered a loss at Xiao Yuqi’s hands the next time. County Lord Hui Ning was already very angry when he said that.

County princess Hui Ning did not expect that a tiny Yun Xiao would actually dare to ignore him.

Seeing so many palace maids and eunuchs looking at him, their faces turned dark and their faces became slightly embarrassed. A trace of doubt flashed in their eyes as they brought the maidservant to Yun Xiao’s side. They first glanced at Yun Xiao’s face and then said loudly, “Yun Xiao, I didn’t expect that it was really you!” I thought you were really dead. I didn’t expect you to give me such a big surprise. ”

Yun Xiao found it hard to refuse when county princess Hui Ning walked over to her. She only responded calmly, “Yeah, I didn’t expect county princess Xiang Ruiyi to be so honorable. Now she is willing to marry the Third Prince as a side princess. I’m really wronged. However, according to your relationship with the Third Prince, even a side princess should be able to call the wind and rain in the Third Prince’s mansion, right?”

Yun Xiao was really in pain, poking at where she was.

County Lord Hui Ning frowned as he listened to Yun Xiao’s words. His gaze was even more ruthless, “Yun Xiao, are you mocking me?”

“No, I’m just congratulating the county princess, aren’t I?” Yun Xiao indifferently faced each other, a faint smile appearing between her eyebrows. The hand holding Rong Jin in her hand was also tightening slightly.

It was because she had just sensed Rong Jin’s dissatisfaction. It was as if he would attack in the next moment. She had organized him in time. This was a war between women. As a man, he could not easily interfere. Otherwise, he would have no face.

County Lord Hui Ning’s expression became even colder. She suddenly remembered that in her previous life, Yun Xiao had married Zhou Jingyan to be the Empress, and her gaze had a trace of disdain. Immediately after, she said loudly, “From the sour tone of Fourth Young Lady, I thought that Fourth Young Lady was eating!” “Now, Xiao Yuqi is the third prince’s princess, I am the third prince’s side princess, and you are just the daughter of a merchant, or the daughter of a married merchant. Do you think the third prince will fall for you again?”

As long as Zhou Jingyan became the Jin Emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, he would have great power in the future. After Zhou Jingyan fulfilled his promise to divorce Xiao Yuqi, she would be the head of the harem and the model for women under the heavens.

Thinking of this, County Lord Huining’s face was throbbing.

That’s right. County princess Huining is willing to marry Zhou Jingyan as a side princess. One reason is that her reputation has been ruined. It is indeed difficult for her to obtain the title of Third Prince’s main princess. Secondly, Zhou Jingyan promised her that he would divorce Xiao Yuqi after seizing the throne.

Therefore, even though County Lord Hui Ning was unhappy with the Third Prince’s mansion, he still endured it.

Yun Xiao did not expect County Lord Hui Ning to still firmly remember what happened in his previous life. A faint sigh appeared in his eyes. “I had no intention of marrying the Third Prince. The County Lord also knows that I personally rejected the Third Prince’s proposal in front of the Jin Emperor.”

County princess Hui Ning’s originally pretty face instantly darkened. Yun Xiao was saying that the man she didn’t want was a treasure?

Taking a deep breath, Yun Xiao suppressed all the anger in her heart. She stared at Yun Xiao’s indifferent face with an unfriendly expression and said loudly, “Is that so? I hope that after a few days, the Fourth Young Lady will be able to laugh out loud.”

Once Zhou Jingyan ascended to the throne, the first thing she did was to have someone kill Yun Xiao!

As long as she killed Yun Xiao, she would have no worries about the future.

Yun Xiao said calmly, her expression gentle. “You’ve put in a lot of effort, but I believe I can still laugh out loud.”

“Then let’s wait and see.” County Lord Hui Ning snorted coldly and directly walked past Yunxiao into the palace, but his expression was very embarrassing.

Yun Xiao only indifferently faced each other, the corner of her mouth slightly raised. Seeing the county princess of Hui Ning’s face getting worse and worse, Yun Xiao’s lips instead revealed a faint smile.

However, at this moment, Yun Xiao’s small hand was once again tightly held by a small hand. Their wide sleeves slid down, just in time to block the small hands that the two of them were holding together.

Before she could say anything, a trace of surprise appeared in Yun Xiao’s eyes.

It was only because Rong Jin had actually written a string of words in her hand that he realized what Rong Jin had written. “She was poisoned.”

Yun Xiao looked at Rong Jin beside her in disbelief, her eyes carrying a trace of disbelief.

This she, Yun Xiao did not even think about it and directly determined that it was county princess Hui Ning.

County princess Huining was actually poisoned? No wonder she always felt that county princess Huining’s expression was slightly wrong. However, county princess Huining had always been her enemy. Yun Xiao did not express anything about county princess Huining being poisoned.

As her opponent, Yun Xiao no longer attacked to make the poison attack earlier. She was already worthy of it.

In any case, the poison in her body was not planted by her. Whether she was alive or dead had nothing to do with her.

County princess, let’s go in quickly, otherwise His Majesty will have to wait anxiously. Eunuch Wei saw that Yun Xiao had not moved for a long time, so he whispered a reminder.

Yun Xiao immediately regained her senses. She smiled apologetically at Eunuch Wei and whispered, “I was distracted. Please don’t take offense, Eunuch.”

The three of them quickly arrived at the Jin Emperor’s dormitory.

At this time, there were already many people at the entrance of the dormitory. Everyone wore extremely luxurious clothes. Just by looking at their identities, it was clear that they were the noble ladies of the capital.

County Lord Hui Ning had just entered when Yun Xiao followed him. Everyone stared at him with horror on their faces. Then, they heard a very small voice and asked tentatively, “Are you dead or alive?”

“Naturally, it’s a living person,” Yun Xiao stared at the person who said this. She didn’t expect it to be the eldest daughter of the Lan Clan, and also Lan Shuya’s half-sister.

“Didn’t you die? Why are you still alive?”

A trace of cunning flashed through Yun Xiao’s eyes, “Lan Clan’s big girl, when did I personally say that I’m dead?”

Being choked by Yun Xiao in front of so many people, the Lan Clan’s eldest girl’s expression was very embarrassed.

How could a dead person say that he was dead? It was clearly Yun Xiao who was talking about him from the left and right.

However, before the big girl of the Lan family could continue to speak, she heard Eunuch Wei coldly say, “This is the county princess of An Ping, personally conferred by His Majesty. Is there still no courtesy?”

After such a long time, coupled with the fact that Yun Xiao had disappeared from the capital for such a long time, everyone had forgotten that Yun Xiao still had such a noble identity.

Only a few of the noble ladies in the capital were of the first rank. The others were not as noble as Yun Xiao, so they could only salute in Yun Xiao’s direction.

Yun Xiao looked at Eunuch Wei with an undetectable gaze, and then said softly, “Get up, everyone else saw you. What kind of words are you talking about?” After she finished speaking, she walked towards another empty place, not wanting to have anything to do with those noble ladies.

Eunuch Wei also quickly followed and whispered, “Today’s matter is a banquet held for the sake of raising funds in the disaster area. However, due to His Majesty’s unwell dragon body, this matter was left to Her Majesty the Empress to preside over. Now, Her Majesty the Empress is here to take care of her illness, so they came to pay their respects to Her Majesty first.”

Yun Xiao graciously said, not saying anything, but she sighed in her heart. She didn’t expect that she would actually be able to guess correctly. “Yun Xiao understands. Thank you for mentioning it, father-in-law.”

Not long after, Yun Xiao saw the empress wearing a plain palace dress walk out of the bedroom hall. Although her face was painted with exquisite makeup, her face was somewhat pale.

Yun Xiao quickly walked over and followed the crowd to salute the Empress.

The Empress asked everyone to stand up and looked at Yun Xiao with a deep gaze. “County princess An Ping, you and Young Master Rong can go in first. Your Majesty is waiting for you.”

Yun Xiao immediately bowed respectfully, “Yes,” but for some reason, after being looked at by the Empress like this, Yun Xiao felt a sense of panic in her eyes. She always felt that the Empress’s gaze had a deeper meaning, but the Empress’s gaze was too complicated, and Yun Xiao was unable to understand it for a moment.

She immediately lowered her eyes. Actually, she still felt some sympathy for the Empress. Her biological son had just died, and it seemed that the Jin Emperor would not be able to live long. In addition, with the Third Prince eyeing her covetously, the Empress might not be able to sleep peacefully, right?

He and Rong Jin greeted the Empress and followed Eunuch Wei into the bedroom hall.

As soon as she entered the palace, Yun Xiao saw Xiao Yuqi and county princess Hui Ning were already there. Of course, beside the two of them was Hua Fei, who was dressed in plain clothes.

Imperial Concubine Hua wore a light purple long skirt. Her long skirt dragged on the ground, giving her a trace of softness. Even though her face was pale, she was still unable to resist it. She had a face that was devastating to the country.

Eunuch Wei glanced at these people and quickly entered the bedroom.

When County Head Huining saw this, he coldly snorted and looked at Yun Xiao with a gloomy expression, “I didn’t expect to see you everywhere!”

Yun Xiao also lightly curled her lips and smiled. However, the smile on her face did not seem to have landed on county princess Hui Ning from beginning to end. Instead, it landed on Xiao Yuqi, who was not far behind county princess Hui Ning. The corner of her mouth raised slightly, “I didn’t expect to meet you anywhere.”
