Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 533

Chapter 533 The Death of Emperor Jin
In the carriage, Yun Xiao opened the painting in her hand and revealed it in front of Rong Jin. She whispered, “Can you see anything from this painting?”

Seeing Yun Xiao’s serious question, Rong Jin straightened his attitude and his gaze fell on the painting.

After a long time, a strange look appeared in his eyes. “You mean Cao Bingrong?”

He didn’t say anything else, but Yun Xiao knew what he was going to say. She nodded her head and said, “I’m not sure either. I’m just a little suspicious.”

After all, when she was in Imperial Kitchen, she felt that Cao Bingrong was very suspicious.

Rong Jin frowned even deeper. After a long time, he said, “These things have nothing to do with us.”

Yun Xiao shook her head. If it weren’t for her previous life, Yun Xiao would have felt that the calamity caused by the Jin Emperor had nothing to do with her. But who would have let that woman teach her master?

In her previous life, if Liu Chan hadn’t taught her how to cook, she would have only been a woman who knew how to cook.

Moreover, the relationship between Liu Chan and her apprentice was the most worrying thing in Yun Xiao’s previous life. Liu Chan had died, so she was unable to pay her respects. In this life, she would definitely not let such a thing happen. “I want to save her.”

Rong Jin frowned, “Give me a reason.”

“Liu Chan is my master.” After Yun Xiao finished speaking, she lowered her eyebrows. In this life, Liu Chan did not accept her as her disciple.

Rong Jin frowned slightly, and then said, “I will send someone to search for her whereabouts.”

Hearing Rong Jin agree, Yun Xiao heaved a sigh of relief, and a faint smile appeared on her face. “Thank you.” Nowadays, in the capital, Yunxiao’s people were not as strong as Rong Jin’s people. With Rong Jin’s people appearing, many troubles could be avoided.

“There’s no need to thank me,” Rong Jin said in a low voice with a hint of forbearance.

Just as Yun Xiao was about to speak, a carrier pigeon descended from the carriage window.

Rong Jin quickly picked up the carrier pigeon and took out a small bamboo joint from its feet. He opened the mechanism inside the small bamboo joint and took out a piece of letter paper. When he saw what was written on the letter paper, Rong Jin frowned.

When Yun Xiao saw this, she knew that it was definitely bad news. Even if she moved closer, she could only see a few big words clearly written on the letter, “Zhou Jingyan has returned home.”

Even though he had already thought of it, he didn’t expect that all of this would be true, and the truth would come so quickly.

Rong Jin already tightened his grip on Yun Xiao’s hand and whispered, “This is the end of the matter. It’s useless to worry. We can just speed up the transfer of people.”

Yun Xiao nodded. Now, there was no better way.

The two quickly returned to Yun Mansion in a carriage. He told Yun Maozhe and Second Master Yun about what had happened in the palace today. A plan has also been drawn up, Tomorrow, we will first move Second Master Yun and the two Young Masters of Second Fang away. After seeing them off, they would send Madam Yu and Min, Lu shi, Brother Han, and Madam Yuan and Madam Sun out of the secret passageway, escorted by people from the Shifang Palace. On the other hand, Yun Maozhe left the capital on the third day because he was inspecting the shops. In order to attract attention, Yun Maozhe would first inspect the shops in the capital tomorrow.

Yun Xiao and Rong Jin would only leave after everyone had left.

After drawing up this plan, everyone calmed down. Tonight, Rong Jin would let the people of the Ten Directions Palace transfer all the precious items of the Yun Family out through secret channels.

Of course, it was also on this day that Yun Xiao sent people to monitor Sun shi and Yuan shi.

Because the two of them had cooperated with the people from the Third Prince’s Mansion before, so as to avoid any problems, Yun Xiao did not dare to let down her guard.

Although Yun Xiao did not want to bring Madam Yuan and Madam Sun along with her this time, no matter how emotionless she was, she did not want to reveal her true thoughts in front of Yun Maozhe and embarrass him.

In the afternoon, the imperial edict of the Jin Emperor appointing Second Master Yun as the imperial envoy for this disaster relief came down.

When she saw the imperial edict, the heart that Yun Xiao had been carrying finally calmed down.

One night without a dream.

The next morning, Yun Xiao got up early in the morning, dressed up, quickly went to the front yard, and had breakfast with the Yun family.

However, at this moment, everyone’s faces were filled with excitement, causing Yun Xiao to frown. With such an emotion, if they were to leave, it was likely that someone with good eyesight would definitely notice something wrong.

Yun Xiao’s gaze swept across everyone’s faces one by one and said loudly, “Don’t think about anything now. You just need to remember that if someone detects a clue, it would be bad instead.” For some reason, Yun Xiao’s eyelids were constantly beating, and as her eyelids were beating more and more intensely, the panic in Yun Xiao’s heart grew bigger and bigger.

She always thought something big was going to happen today.

Rong Jin sensed Yun Xiao’s nervousness and held her hand tightly, silently conveying his support.

Lu shi and Yu shi’s faces were filled with embarrassment. The main reason was that the atmosphere today was too tense.

Second Master Yun said softly, “All of you, relax a little. I’m going to the court.”

Today, because it was for Second Master Yun to practice, they had already eaten breakfast before dawn.

After Second Master Yun left, Yun Xiao also received bad news.

Liu Chan had already been captured by the people of the Third Prince’s Mansion for a month. However, he had been left outside and had not been brought back to the Third Prince’s Mansion. If it weren’t for the people of the Third Prince’s Mansion moving Liu Chan into the Third Prince’s Mansion today, they wouldn’t have been able to find Liu Chan’s whereabouts.

Yun Xiao’s brows furrowed tightly. She was certain that Xiao Yuqi had done this on purpose, deliberately letting her know that Liu Chan was not dead yet. In their hands, however, what puzzled Yun Xiao was what Xiao Yuqi wanted to do?

Yun Xiao tried her best to calm herself down. She didn’t want to drive others into a bad mood. She said to Madam Lu and the others, “Mother, you guys should rest first. I will also go back and rest for a while. After an hour and a half, we will send Second Uncle off together.”

Seeing Yun Xiao’s absent-minded expression, Madam Lu and the others were also somewhat worried. “Alright, hurry up and go back to rest.”

Yun Xiao and Rong Jin returned to the courtyard together, but Yun Xiao’s eyelids were still beating non-stop, and the panic in her heart was getting heavier and heavier. “Rong Jin, why do you think Xiao Yuqi intentionally told us Liu Chan’s whereabouts?”

Rong Jin also frowned, “How many people know about your relationship with Liu Chan?”

Yun Xiao shook her head, “No one knows.” Because no one knows, Yun Xiao became even more suspicious.

Yun Xiao took out the painting again, carefully opened it, and studied it for a while. This painting was indeed personally painted by Liu Chan. At the place where Liu Chan signed it, Yun Xiao found the words’ Master Qingfeng ‘.

Yun Xiao drank a glass of water irritably. She felt that the mystery in her heart seemed to have been solved, but it also seemed that it had not been solved at all.

Seeing Yun Xiao’s annoyed expression, Rong Jin also frowned, “There are some things that will make the boat straighten when it reaches the bridge. It’s useless to worry. You should rest properly first.”

Yun Xiao’en said. Her body was very tired now, but she did not feel sleepy at all. Thinking that she would move everyone from the Yun Family tonight, Yun Xiao could only lie on the bed, hoping to recover some energy.

Rong Jin lay on Yun Xiao’s bed. His eyes were burning as he stared at the bed net. He did not take back his sight for a long time. A strange emotion flashed through his deep eyes. Then, he walked to the incense burner and put some calming powder in. Not long after, he saw Yun Xiao slowly fall asleep. Only then did he feel relieved and extinguished the incense burner.

It wasn’t good to smell too much Anshen incense, so Rong Jin extinguished the incense.

After writing a letter and handing it to a black-clothed man to take away, Rong Jin finally laid down beside Yun Xiao.

An hour and a half later, Yun Xiao woke Rong Jin up. The two of them washed up and walked towards the front yard. It wasn’t long before they saw Housekeeper Li walk over quickly. When he walked to Yun Xiao’s side, he respectfully saluted Yun Xiao and said, “Fourth aunt, there’s a letter for you.”

Yun Xiao took the letter, but a trace of doubt couldn’t help but arise in her heart. She lowered her head and saw the two words “Yun Xiao” on the envelope. There was a sense of determination and valor in her beauty, and she recognized that this was written by a woman.

Yun Xiao quickly opened the letter and frowned even more tightly.

Rong Jin also saw the abbreviation in the letter, “Why did Xiao Yuqi treat you to a banquet?”

Yun Xiao did not know what Xiao Yuqi was doing at this time, but there was nothing good about it. “Suppress the letter first. Butler Li, send someone to the Third Prince’s Mansion to say that I’m not well. I came back last night and fell ill. I’ll visit the Third Prince’s Mansion in a few days.”

Butler Li immediately replied, “Yes.” It was a troublesome autumn, so Butler Li was extremely cautious in his work.

Seeing Butler Li leave, Yun Xiao and Rong Jin went to the front yard together to see Second Master Yun and Third Brother and Fourth Brother off.

Seeing these three leave the manor, Yun Xiao finally let out a sigh of relief. As long as they could leave the city, someone would replace them. Of course, Yun Xiao also had people keep a close eye on Second Master Yun and report back any news.

Just as Yun Xiao heaved a sigh of relief, Rong Jin received another carrier pigeon. When he saw the words written on the carrier pigeon, Yun Xiao’s expression became even more embarrassed. “Zhou Jingyan is actually only a few miles away from the capital?”

She did not expect Zhou Jingyan to return so quickly.

Rong Jinyi grasped Yun Xiao’s hand tightly and said softly, “Don’t worry, he hasn’t made any progress yet. We still have a chance. I will have someone guard the city gate and delay his entry into the capital.”

Yun Xiao nodded. Rong Jin had already followed his instructions and told Yun Maozhe to continue to patrol the shop according to the plan. However, Rong Jin had assigned two people from the Ten Directions Palace to guard Yun Maozhe.

Yun Xiao, Rong Jin, and the others returned to the manor together. They had just entered the main courtyard and sat down. Before they finished drinking a cup of tea, they saw Steward Li enter with an embarrassed expression. “Madam, Second Madam, Fourth Aunt, Fourth Aunt, Jin Emperor is dead.”
