Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 531

Chapter 531 Achievement Of Objectives
When Yun Xiao said that Xiao Yuqi had sold the recipe to Rong Jin, the Jin Emperor was somewhat convinced that the Third Princess really had two sides in her hands.

“If the Third Princess really has a cure for me, I will definitely reward you well,” he said with a smile.

Yun Xiao bowed respectfully and greeted, “Thank you, Your Majesty. However, An Ping doesn’t want any rewards.”

“Oh? Then what do you want?” The Jin Emperor had always known that the four girls in Yun Clan had many ideas. He had suspected the truth of Yun Xiao’s death long ago, but he didn’t expect that the fire at that time actually didn’t burn her to death.

Yun Xiao glanced at the Jin Emperor and said, “Listen to my second uncle. There is a drought in and around Jiangcheng. As an imperial merchant, the Yun Family naturally has to donate money to help the victims.” Seeing that he was not angry about interfering in the affairs of the previous dynasty, He continued, “My Yun Clan intends to spend 500,000 taels of silver to help the victims. However, I do not trust the officials in the court to spend so much money to help the victims. Therefore, I donate so much money in exchange for His Majesty’s promise. I hope His Majesty can agree to let my second uncle serve as the imperial envoy.”

Although this time, along with the merchants, ministers, and the money from the treasury, there was at least two million taels of silver. It was indeed worrying to give so much silver to a rank five official, but Yun Xiao was currently using this to negotiate with the Jin Emperor.

The Jin Emperor stared at Yun Xiao with a harsh expression flashing through his eyes. Even though he said, “You’re a good schemer!”

“Your Majesty, please agree,” Yun Xiao only replied calmly.

However, he did not expect that the Jin Emperor did not reply to Yun Xiao’s words. Instead, he looked at Rong Jin, who was at the side. His originally somewhat dispirited gaze now had a little more light. “The county princess has already offered 500,000 silver taels in place of the Yun Clan. The husband and wife are in the same body. I wonder how much silver Young Master Rong intends to offer?”

Yun Xiao gritted her teeth in her heart. The Jin Emperor was really a vampire. She had paid so much money for Yun Clan, but she was not satisfied. She actually wanted more!

However, now that they were hiding their identities, they really did not have any reason to reject this matter.

Taking a deep breath, Yun Xiao tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart.

The so-called husband and wife being together meant that they cared about what they were pointing at. They wanted Rong Jin to pay more money than they did. They had to bet more than 500,000 taels of silver in order not to lose a man’s face.

Yun Xiao felt even more hatred in her heart and winked at Rong Jin.

Rong Jin seemed to have long since understood the character of the Jin Emperor. Regarding the Jin Emperor’s question, Not curious at all, Instead, they indifferently faced each other. He took a few steps back, Standing beside Yun Xiao, she whispered, “Since the county princess has already paid the money, I naturally want to pay as well. However, the so-called husband and wife together, I have always been a strict wife, so I have already paid all the money to my wife long before marriage. I can’t take out the money, but I can donate 20,000 stones of grain to the disaster area.”

Rong Jin obviously didn’t want to give his money to the Jin Emperor, and he couldn’t swallow it, but food was fine! If it was food, Rong Jin could treat it as food. All of this food had been used by the victims.

When the Jin Emperor heard Rong Jin’s words, his eyes narrowed slightly. He didn’t expect that he would only be able to summon Yun Xiao and Rong Jin today and obtain so many benefits. He had also learned of the cure for his illness. Therefore, the Jin Emperor was very satisfied at this moment.

He looked at Yun Xiao’s face and whispered, “Alright, I will allow you to appoint your second uncle as the imperial envoy!” However, the Jin Emperor was too happy, so he couldn’t help but speak loudly, so he couldn’t hold back and started coughing hard.

The corner of Yun Xiao’s mouth slightly raised as she whispered, “Thank you, Your Majesty!” All the money was outside of his body. In addition, it was indeed difficult for Yun Clan to take away all of his family wealth. Giving all of these family wealth to the victims made Yun Xiao’s heart feel better.

Yun Xiao felt that it was worth it to lose the silver coins, but to be able to protect Second Uncle’s family and escape unscathed!

Rong Jin nodded slightly to the Jin Emperor and thanked him.

The Jin Emperor coughed heavily this time. After the cough ended, the Jin Emperor said, “Alright, alright, get up. I’m tired. You all can go down.”

Yun Xiao and Rong Jin didn’t want to stay here anymore. Even though they said respectfully, “Grassroots people, please leave!”

As Yun Xiao and Rong Jin walked out, they exchanged glances with each other. The corners of their mouths revealed a slightly strange expression.

In the past few days, the two of them looked at all the books of the Yun Clan. The Yun Clan’s capital flow in all of the capital’s properties was exactly 500,000 taels. This time, they had already agreed to donate all of their money to the victims. After all, they had to pack all of the 500,000 taels of silver into boxes, and they had to pack several large boxes. It was simply too difficult to transport them out of the city.

Now, he finally found a good place for the silver.

The 20 thousand stones of grain was something that the Yun Clan’s grain shop and Rong Jin’s grain shop could obtain.

Of course, the two of them weren’t just thinking about it again. With Rong Jin’s donation of food, the nobles and merchants in the capital would definitely donate some food. At that time, the capital’s stock would decrease. Once the war broke out, the capital would be more chaotic.

After all, the people relied on food to feed themselves. Without food, they could only wait to starve to death. If they wanted to not starve to death, the capital would be in chaos. As long as the capital was in chaos, Yun Xiao and Rong Jin were more confident about capturing the capital.

None of them could think of their original intentions.

Yun Xiao and Rong Jin quickly left the dormitory, and the medicinal smell in their noses finally faded, causing Yun Xiao to involuntarily breathe a sigh of relief.

However, what Yun Xiao did not expect was that at this moment, the people who were originally standing in the palace actually knelt down at the same time, leaving behind only the people with noble identities who were still standing.

At this moment, Zhou Jingxu’s expression became even more embarrassed.

Yun Xiao and Rong Jin exchanged a glance. Obviously, they did not know what had happened here after the two of them entered the bedroom hall.

The two of them exchanged glances as if they didn’t know. After saluting Zhou Jingxu, Yunxiao felt that Xiao Yuqi’s expression was still strange when she looked at her again. She smiled calmly and planned to leave the palace.

However, Xiao Yuqi’s voice finally sounded not far behind her. “Speaking of which, among those who came into direct contact with His Highness the Ninth Prince of Dao, there is also County Lord An Ping. Why don’t we also search for County Lord An Ping? What does His Highness the Ninth Prince think?”

When Yun Xiao heard this, a trace of doubt appeared in her eyes. She did not know what exactly was going on. She frowned slightly. Without knowing the background of the matter, Yun Xiao intended to stop it quietly.

“Third sister-in-law really likes to send people into the water. However, I believe that county princess An Ping doesn’t need to search. Besides, county princess An Ping didn’t approach me at all. Only imperial concubine Xian got close to me. Now, she has also found poison on imperial concubine Xian’s body. Don’t tell me third sister-in-law still doesn’t intend to admit it?” Zhou Jingxu’s voice was still soft and waxy, but the words he said were cold and disdainful.

Yun Xiao’s head spun rapidly. She knew that Zhou Jingxu had said so much to explain to her what had happened here today.

From the conversation between the two of them, Yun Xiao was able to obtain some information. That was that Zhou Jingxu was poisoned, and the person who poisoned him was county princess Hui Ning. The current Xiao Yuqi was trying to find a way to exonerate county princess Hui Ning!

In order to make this matter even more chaotic, Xiao Yuqi did not hesitate to drag herself into the water.

Yun Xiao frowned. In her heart, she was somewhat unwilling to participate in these things, but she could only listen patiently. Now, since Xiao Yuqi mentioned her name, Yun Xiao naturally could not leave so carelessly.

Xiao Yuqi sneered, “His Highness the Ninth Prince has always been friendly with Anping County. If His Highness the Ninth Prince doesn’t search the body of County Lord Anping, I’m afraid he won’t be able to convince the crowd. Perhaps, this poison was placed on County Lord Anping’s body when he was talking to Concubine Bianfei. After all, before entering the palace, the two of them had been close to each other.”

Xiao Yuqi hit the nail on the head. She didn’t expect that she would really be waiting for her here.

Zhou Jingxu’s face became colder and colder at this moment. He was closer to him. Yun Xiao could feel the cold temperature coming from his body. She frowned slightly and said before Zhou Jingxu could say anything, “In order to prove my innocence, I agree to a physical examination.”

Xiao Yuqi’s lips curled into a cold smile, and a faint peculiarity appeared in her eyes. “Alright, as long as you agree.”

When she saw Xiao Yuqi’s smile, Yun Xiao had a bad feeling in her heart. She always felt that this matter would not be so simple.

Yun Xiao frowned tightly. Sure enough, she saw Zhou Jingxu looking at her with a reproachful gaze.

The corner of Xiao Yuqi’s mouth slightly rose as she said loudly, “Someone, since county princess An Ping has agreed, then search your body!”

The bad feeling in Yun Xiao’s heart grew bigger and bigger, but at this time, it was already difficult to ride a tiger.

The palace maid who entered was the palace maid beside Imperial Concubine Hua. She bowed respectfully in front of Yun Xiao and said, “County princess An Ping, please.”

Yun Xiao first glanced at Rong Jin, who was beside her. When she saw Rong Jin nodding, she understood what Xiao Yuqi was planning.

He sneered in his heart. Sure enough, this matter was truly extraordinary!

Taking a deep breath, Yun Xiao nodded. She was already calculating how she should avoid this calamity.

Just as Yun Xiao took a step forward, the man beside her said, “County princess An Ping and I are husband and wife. County princess An Ping’s courage has always been very small. I’m not at ease, so I want to travel with the county princess and have someone search my body. After all, I’m standing beside the county princess, and I’m also relatively close to the side princess. I’m also a little suspicious.”

As Rong Jin spoke, everyone in the palace looked at Rong Jin in unison.
