Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 534

Chapter 534 Nothing’s Going To Happen

Yun Xiao’s body trembled slightly. Even if she was normally calm, she still revealed a surprised expression.

She never thought that the person who was still talking to her yesterday would suddenly die today.

Not to mention that Rong Jin had said before that the Jin Emperor’s body could last for another half a month, but only a day later, the Jin Emperor was gone.

Rong Jin’s eyes were filled with surprise. He extended his hand to support Yun Xiao’s body, his eyes filled with deep worry. “Don’t worry.”

It was a lie to say that he wasn’t worried. Now that the Jin Emperor had died, the imperial palace was in a state of chaos. In addition, Zhou Jingyan had already returned to the capital. Now, he had already arrived outside the capital. And now, more than half of the people in Yun Clan had yet to move.

If the people in the imperial palace discovered the identities of Rong Jin and the others, Yun Xiao would not dare to believe that they would be able to leave at that time.

Taking a deep breath, Yun Xiao tried her best to calm herself down, and her gaze was filled with deep worry.

Some people from the Yun Clan did not expect that the final outcome of the matter would turn out like this, and they immediately revealed panicked expressions.

When Rong Jin saw that Yun Xiao’s expression couldn’t change for a moment, his primitive and orchid-like eyes didn’t have any brilliance at all, as if he couldn’t feel anything anymore.

Rong Jin raised his eyebrows slightly. He tightened his grip on Yun Xiao’s hands and said softly, “Xiao Xiao, don’t worry. It’s not the last chance yet. We still have time. Now, Yun Clan, you can be considered the backbone. If you panic, what will happen to the others?”

Yun Xiao blinked her eyes and listened to Rong Jin’s words. At this moment, she absolutely could not panic, otherwise, the entire Yun Clan would be in a mess.

Taking a deep breath, Yun Xiao calmed herself down and tightly gripped Rong Jin’s big hand. At this moment, the most regrettable thing to say was Rong Jin. Facing the enemy who killed his mother, he could not personally take action. Instead, he was killed by someone else. He was absolutely uncomfortable in his heart. “I understand what to do.”

Yun Xiao’s gaze swept back and forth through the people in the room before she said, “Shall we move everyone away now?” In the end, although Yun Xiao tried her best to remain calm, she was still very panicked in her heart. She did not want to see her relatives die in front of her again. If possible, Yun Xiao would rather die on her own than protect the Yun Family from leaving here safely.

After making up her mind, Yun Xiao’s expression became even more resolute.

On the contrary, Rong Jin shook his head, “It’s not appropriate to act recklessly at this time. The Jin Emperor is dead. If anyone finds out anything about the Yun Clan, they will be charged with killing the Jin Emperor.” After all, the Jin Emperor had summoned them yesterday. If those people wanted to slander them, they would naturally shirk their responsibility.

Not to mention, Rong Jin had always suspected that there was something fishy about the death of the Jin Emperor.

But now, he couldn’t see the body of the Jin Emperor, so he didn’t dare to make any conclusions.

Yun Xiao thought for a moment and felt that Rong Jin’s words made sense. She nodded her head and said, “I understand. Let’s stay at home and guard the house today. Also, she instructed us to put away all the bright things in Yun Mansion. Everyone’s clothes should be changed into plain color as much as possible.”

As soon as Yun Xiao finished her words, a maidservant palace maid immediately went ahead. Madam Yu and Madam Lu were originally here to send Second Master Yun off, so they were dressed very beautifully. Now, they immediately instructed the maidservant to take them back and change their clothes.

Sister Min also left with Madam Yu. Seeing everyone leave, Brother Han walked over to Yun Xiao with a worried expression. She held Yun Xiao’s hand and said with an embarrassed expression, “Fourth sister, we will all be fine, right?”

Brother Han’s stern little face was filled with heartache, and his voice couldn’t help but tremble slightly.

Yun Xiao touched Brother Han’s hair and revealed a faint smile. She said softly, “Brother Han, don’t worry, we’ll be fine.”

When Brother Han got Yun Xiao’s answer, he nodded heavily, “I believe fourth sister.” In Brother Han’s eyes, there seemed to be nothing fourth sister could not do.

Seeing that Brother Han’s face was filled with trust, Yun Xiao heaved a sigh of relief. “Go back and rest for a while. You probably won’t have time to sleep tonight.”

Hearing Yun Xiao’s words, Brother Han immediately sensed the meaning behind it. “Isn’t Fourth Sister coming with us?”

Yun Xiao shook her head. She originally wanted to go with them, but Yun Xiao couldn’t let go of Liu Chan. This master who treated her like a biological daughter in her previous life, not to mention, she had already promised Cao Bingrong that she would rescue Liu Chan. “Fourth sister still has some things to do. She will go back to find you when she’s done. You should go back and rest quickly.”

Brother Han flattened his mouth and nodded in the end, but his soft cheeks were sullen.

After seeing Brother Han leave, Yun Xiao frowned again and whispered, “Here we are. Go and tell them to keep an eye on Madam Yuan and Madam Sun today.”

There was still a trace of faint panic in her heart, but Yun Xiao could not say where her panic came from.

After everyone left, Yun Xiao was wondering if she had forgotten something.

Seeing Yun Xiao’s nervous expression, Rong Jin frowned. “Xiao Xiao, calm down. If my guess is correct, I’m afraid that someone from the Imperial Palace is coming soon. You absolutely cannot be seen by the people in the Imperial Palace.”

Yun Xiao stared at Rong Jin’s eyebrows. His pair of pitch-black eyes were completely silent, without any surge. It was as if he was indifferent to the death of the Jin Emperor.

However, after hearing Rong Jin’s words, Yun Xiao remembered that, with her status, the Jin Emperor had died. She was going to enter the palace to guard the spirit. After Yun Xiao thought about this, her brows furrowed even more tightly. It was really not the right time for the Jin Emperor to die now.

However, the death of the Jin Emperor should be a good time for Zhou Jingyan and the others. “I’ll have someone prepare a carriage to enter the palace later. I’ll leave the matters of the family to you. Besides, the Jin Emperor is dead. I’ll send someone to bring Daddy back and lock up all the shops outside.”

When Rong Jin saw that Yun Xiao had returned to normal, the corner of his mouth also rose slightly. He said softly, “Alright, I’ll accompany you into the palace.”

Yun Xiao frowned, “If you also leave, what should we do at home?”

“Don’t worry, I’ve already arranged everything. With you in the palace, the Yun Clan is still safe for the time being.”

Yun Xiao thought about it, but she still felt that something was wrong in her heart. “Today, the capital will be under martial law. I wonder if she can still leave.”

Back when Rong Jin brought her into the capital, he relied on his excellent qinggong to avoid being discovered. However, if he brought so many people from the Yun Clan, it would be more than a little harder to leave the city during the curfew.

“Let’s take a look at the situation first. If we can leave, then let’s go. If we can’t leave, then let’s leave after three days.” Those with official positions and titles in the court had to guard the Jin Emperor’s wake three days later. After three days, the Jin Emperor was buried and everyone left the palace. At that time, the capital was in chaos, and they could use that time to move everyone out.

However, in the current situation in the capital, it would be dangerous to stay for another day, but now, no one had a good idea.

Yun Xiao nodded, “Alright,” Fortunately, she still had Rong Jin by her side. Otherwise, Yun Xiao would not know what to do.

Right at this moment, Butler Li quickly entered the room and said with an embarrassed expression, “Fourth aunt, someone from the Third Prince’s Mansion just invited you into the palace.”

Yun Xiao nodded, “Got it. Hurry up and prepare the carriage.”

At the same time, Rong Jin also received a flying pigeon letter. After reading the letter, Rong Jin’s expression was also very ugly, but he still handed the letter to Yun Xiao, “Take a look.”

After Yun Xiao took the letter and read it, her expression became extremely embarrassed. “Xiao Yuqi actually slandered her, saying that it was her master who killed the Jin Emperor? How is that possible?”

Yun Xiao did not want to believe this matter, but it was written in a good way. A month ago, the Jin Emperor entrusted the Third Prince with finding Liu Chan’s whereabouts. At that time, Liu Chan was a palace maid in the Jin Imperial Palace. At that time, she had a friendship with the Jin Emperor, but was unwilling to stay in the palace.

This time, Xiao Yuqi directly slandered Liu Chan for harboring hatred towards the Jin Emperor because of what happened back then, so she assassinated the Jin Emperor after meeting the Jin Emperor last night.

Yun Xiao recalled the things she had done with Liu Chan in her previous life. Her words and deeds were extremely temperamental. Even though she liked to eat very much, she was also very particular about food. Her movements carried a sense of elegance. Even though she tried her best to conceal this elegance, Yun Xiao could still tell that Liu Chan was well-educated.

However, Yun Xiao did not expect that Liu Chan would actually be the Jin Emperor’s woman.

She remembered observing Cao Bingrong at the entrance of the imperial palace. Cao Bingrong’s eyebrows were indeed slightly similar to that of the Jin Emperor. It seemed that Cao Bingrong was the son of the Jin Emperor and Liu Chan, not the son of a butcher that Liu Chan had told her in her previous life.

However, now that Liu Chan had been slandered as the murderer of the Jin Emperor, it was unknown if Cao Bingrong’s identity had been revealed.

“Let’s go to the palace first. I’ll accompany you.” Rong Jin’s voice was filled with determination. This matter was getting more and more troublesome.

Yun Xiao shook her head, “No need. You can stay at home and watch over mother and second aunt first. Wait for father to return. If you want to enter the palace again, I will not stop you.”

Although Rong Jin was worried that Yun Xiao would enter the palace alone, he still nodded his head in the end. “Alright, I’ll send a few people to follow you.” There were many troubles in the palace right now. If he didn’t pay attention, he would be caught in Xiao Yuqi’s trap.

With a few people who succeeded, Yun Xiao’s safety could also be guaranteed to a certain extent.

Yun Xiao did not refuse. Right now, she had parents, husband and children. Therefore, Yun Xiao cherished her life even more. In the end, she took a deep look at Rong Jin’s slender figure and said softly, “I’ll go first.”
