Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 536

Chapter 536 Goodbye, Liu Chan
Zhou Jingxu looked at Yun Xiao in disbelief, his gaze filled with shock. “How did you know?”

Yun Xiao’s eyes were filled with ridicule, and the corner of her mouth slightly rose. However, her smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes. “Of course, I know what I did.” In his previous life, Mu Chengyuan said nothing and was unwilling to have a child. He repeatedly gave birth to a child in his belly and then kicked his own child to death.

In this life, there was finally retribution!

Since he was unwilling to have children, he had finally fulfilled his wish!

Zhou Jingxu looked at Yun Xiao in shock. Nothing was happening. It was even more shocking than this moment. However, he quickly stabilized his mind. “Tell me, what if I let people spread the news that he can’t have children?”

As an emperor, if he could not have children, he would lose the right to compete for the position of the Monarch.

As long as this matter was made public, Zhou Jingyan would completely lose his right to compete for the position of Savage Monarch.

However, when Zhou Jingxu saw the expression on Yun Xiao’s face, he questioned his own idea. “Do you think this idea is inappropriate?”

Yun Xiao shook her head and sighed. If it was Zhou Jingyan, he would definitely not react like this. After all, Zhou Jingxu’s scheme was inferior to Zhou Jingyan’s. She did not want Zhou Jingxu to suffer any losses. Yun Xiao could only say softly, “Now, do you know how many officials in the court were recruited by Zhou Jingyan?” “As far as I know, some important officials have turned their backs on Zhou Jingyan. Right now, the people in the palace are probably controlled by Xiao Yuqi. In addition, there are 50,000 troops outside the city. How many people do you think will believe you if you tell us something that can’t be confirmed?”

“I’m afraid you haven’t spread the news, She was already suppressed by Xiao Yuqi. Even if the news really got out, He only needed to find a few imperial physicians to perjure himself. This piece of information was useless. On the contrary, Zhou Jingyan had not been able to do anything for a few years. At that time, the news that Zhou Jingyan could not have children would be spread out. The effect was much better than it was now. “At that time, only the slogan of the first prince would need to be used. There would definitely be ministers who would turn their backs on each other.

After Zhou Jingxu heard Yun Xiao’s words, he became silent. His gaze at Yun Xiao carried a strange expression, and then he said, “I know what to do.”

Yun Xiao only needed Zhou Jingxu to be very intelligent. She only needed to mention a little to understand. Thinking of this, she heaved a sigh of relief in her heart.

At this moment, Zhou Jingxu whispered, “You don’t want me to be the emperor, do you?”

Yun Xiao’s heart trembled slightly at Zhou Jingxu’s sensitivity. She did not conceal anything. Instead, she calmly nodded and confessed her intentions. “Yes,” she did not want Zhou Jingxu to be the Jin Emperor, nor did she want to be Zhou Jingxu’s enemy, nor did she want Zhou Jingxu to be persuaded today because of his death.

Zhou Jingxu’s lips curled into a smile. “In this world, the person who understands my thoughts the most is indeed you, Mu Tou.” The rigorous and icy face of Zhou Jingxu instantly dissipated. A faint smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.

A wooden sound pulled the relationship between the two of them closer. Yun Xiao smiled faintly. This time, she smiled the happiest. Looking at Zhou Jingxu’s figure gradually leaving, the smile on Yun Xiao’s face was also tightly hidden.

It was precisely because she knew that Zhou Jingxu did not have the ambition to compete for the world that she dared to say these words in front of him. He wanted to compete with Zhou Jingyan for the sake of avenging his loved ones that he cared about.

She would avenge him!

“Madam, it’s time for us to go in.” Liu’er’s voice echoed in her ears, pulling Yun Xiao’s thoughts back.

Yun Xiao glanced at the man in mourning clothes again, and the corner of her mouth revealed a faint gratified smile. She nodded softly and said, “Alright.”

However, this time, Eunuch Wen led Yun Xiao to a side hall instead of a wake.

In Yun Xiao’s previous life, no matter what, she had lived in the palace for half a year. In addition, in this life, because the Jin Emperor had let her be the steward of Imperial Kitchen, Yun Xiao was very familiar with the path in the palace. When she saw that Eunuch Wen was not heading towards the Jin Emperor’s bedroom, Yun Xiao knew that there was someone who wanted to see her.

Standing at the entrance of a side hall, he saw Eunuch Wen and said, “County princess, please come in.”

Yun Xiao nodded. Gu Jing Wu Bo’s eyes swept across the side hall before he strode in. When Yun Xiao walked to the side hall’s entrance, there was no one in the side hall. On the contrary, Eunuch Wen, who had led him here, also disappeared.

Yun Xiao felt a sense of vigilance in her heart. Originally, she thought that Xiao Yuqi wanted to see her alone, but now, it seemed that this was not the case.

Liu ‘Er and Jiang’ Er, who were beside Yun Xiao, saw the scene in the courtyard and frowned. Their brows were filled with vigilance, “Madam, be careful.”

Yun Xiao nodded, but she still pushed open the door of the side palace.

The palace was empty and there was no response at all. However, Yun Xiao still strode into the palace. Only when she reached the innermost part of the palace did she discover that a familiar figure was tied to the soft chair.

The woman tied to the soft chair had messy hair and wore a lotus-colored dress. However, the dress on her body was also messy. Her delicate face was already in a mess, and tears were still hanging from the corner of her eyes.

Yun Xiao’s feet paused slightly and she walked over quickly. She said loudly, “Master?”

When the people on the soft couch heard Yun Xiao’s voice, they seemed to be uncertain. They slowly opened their eyes and looked at Yun Xiao beside them, “Who are you?”

After saying this, Liu Chan seemed to wake up. She and Yun Xiao had met on both sides. “I’m not your master. Why did you appear here? Aren’t you already dead?”

When Yun Xiao heard Liu Chan’s estranged voice, the corner of her mouth trembled slightly. She remembered that she did not officially take Liu Chan as her master in this life, so she whispered, “I’m not dead. I came here because of a father-in-law. Of course, I was entrusted by Cao Bingrong to rescue you. Since I agreed, I won’t refuse.”

However, when Yun Xiao finished her sentence, Liu Chan suddenly opened her eyes wide, “You’ve been tricked, quickly leave this place.”

Just as Liu Chan’s voice fell, Liu’er walked over with a serious expression. “Madam, there are a lot of officers and soldiers gathered outside.”

Yun Xiao nodded. When she entered the side hall and saw Liu Chan here, Yun Xiao already knew that she had been tricked. However, she did not immediately turn around and leave while reciting the friendship between master and disciple.

Seeing Liu Chan looking at her worriedly, Yun Xiao smiled softly. “Don’t worry about me. I’m fine. Just say, did you kill the Jin Emperor?”

“No, someone sent me to the Jin Emperor’s dormitory last night. We only said a few words.” Someone sent her to the Jin Emperor’s dormitory last night. Although Liu Chan still had hatred towards the Jin Emperor, she did not want to care too much about it. However, what Liu Chan did not expect was that the Jin Emperor would die on the second day.

Yun Xiao stared at Liu Chan’s eyebrows. There was only indifference in her eyes, indifference to everything. She frowned and said, “Now, I’ll take you out of here.”

Originally, she wanted to investigate Liu Chan’s whereabouts, but until now, she only knew that Liu Chan had entered the imperial palace, but where she had gone was not clear.

Now, someone had personally sent Liu Chan in front of him. How could Yun Xiao give up such a great opportunity so easily?

“Aren’t you afraid of getting into trouble because of me?” Liu Chan looked at the woman in front of her in surprise. Ever since she went to the mountains to see her with her painting, she couldn’t understand this woman.

Yun Xiao only responded to her with a calm smile and her cold command, “Liu’er, untie the ropes on her first.” After Yun Xiao finished her command, she picked out a few items in the room and quickly walked to the entrance of the side hall. She calculated the position as quickly as possible and set up a simple formation.

Although this formation was hastily set up, it could still stop the officers and soldiers outside for a while. After regaining consciousness, he looked at Liu’er and Jiang’er and said, “Let’s get out of here.”

Liu’er untied the rope on Liu Chan’s body, then directly picked up Liu Chan. Jiang’er also picked up Yun Xiao. The four of them quickly ran to the window and jumped down.

After their figures disappeared, the officers and soldiers quickly rushed into the side hall. However, a few guards crashed into the formation, immediately arousing the suspicions of the guards. Then, they broke through the window and entered.

Behind him, the Commander of the Imperial Guards walked in with a smile on his face. He said loudly, “Quickly go in and search. You must find the murderer who wanted to kidnap and kill the Emperor!”

The guard immediately respectfully replied. However, when he turned the side hall upside down, he did not see the whereabouts of Yun Xiao and Liu Chan.

The Imperial Army Commander’s face darkened as he quickly entered the side hall. “If you look carefully, how could the good people disappear? They must still be here!”

However, the guards searched again and still couldn’t find the whereabouts of Yun Xiao, Liu Chan and the others.

At this moment, one of the guards pointed at the window and said, “Your Excellency, this window is open. They must have escaped from here!”

The Commander of the Imperial Guards originally thought that he would directly capture Yun Xiao and kidnap Liu Chan, To catch them right now, they didn’t expect that they would come in now. However, they didn’t even see Yun Xiao’s shadow. If they reported the unsuccessful return, they would definitely be reprimanded. If they lost Liu Chan, they might not even be able to preserve their own lives. Even when they said loudly, “What are you guys still waiting for?” Hurry up and chase after him! “You must capture him!”

…

Yun Xiao was very familiar with the road and terrain of the imperial palace. The commander, Jiang’er, flew in the direction of the imperial garden with her. Jiang’er and Liu’er looked very petite and unbearable. However, they did not expect that the two of them would carry them all the way without blushing or breathing.

There was some warmth in her eyes. It seemed that Rong Jin had really chosen two good helpers for her this time.

At this moment, the Imperial Garden was completely silent. Because everyone was busy with the matter of the death of the Jin Emperor, no one in the Imperial Garden passed by.

Yun Xiao quickly asked Liu’er to put Liu Chan in the tree hole in the center of the Imperial Garden. This tree hole was made by Zhou Jingxu, and there were also mechanisms outside.

Now, when Liu Chan cannot be brought out of the imperial palace, it is very safe to hide here. Yun Xiaohaosheng tells Liu Chan, “I will not leave the palace these three days. Stay here for now, you know that there are very few people here. Currently, you will not be discovered. I will ask Jiang’er to deliver food to you. On these three days, you should feel wronged first.”

Liu Chan did not know why Yun Xiao would help her like this, but no matter what, she still had a way to survive. “Thank you.”

“No need to thank me.” After Yun Xiao finished speaking, she closed the tree hole and activated the mechanism of the tree hole. Then, she also set up a small formation outside the tree hole.
