Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 540
Chapter 540 Give Birth to a Son
To be on the safe side, Yunxiao did not tell Cao Bingrong where Liu Chan was hiding.
She only asked Jiang’er to send some food to Liu Chan from time to time. However, because of the death of the Jin Emperor, the food Imperial Kitchen had cooked these past few days was all soup and water. Therefore, Liu Chan’s life was the same as the life of Yun Xiao, who was guarding the vigil outside.
While Yun Xiao was guarding the wake, she also asked Jiang’er to pay close attention to whether anyone else was searching for Liu Chan’s whereabouts in the imperial palace.
As Yun Xiao had expected, Concubine Hua was indeed still sending people to search for Liu Chan’s whereabouts, but she had never been able to find her.
On the night of the third day, Yun Xiao received a letter. She took advantage of other people’s inattention to finish reading the contents of the letter. Her expression was extremely embarrassed. Even if she pretended to lend it and walked out respectfully, the things that she had been worried about these past few days had finally happened.
She brought Liu’er and Jiang’er out of the palace quickly and walked all the way to the side hall. When they arrived at the entrance of a side hall, Yun Xiao said softly, “Jiang’er, Liu’er, you guys stay here. If anyone comes, knock on the door and notify me.”
After Jiang’er and Liu’er agreed, Yun Xiao quickly walked out of the side hall. In the middle of the side hall, there was only a candlestick lit. The candlestick flickered with a faint light, reflecting the figure of a person. It was pulled very long on the ground.
When Yun Xiao entered, that figure quickly moved to Yun Xiao’s side and wrapped Yun Xiao in his embrace.
A familiar aura rushed over, and Yun Xiao felt her heart warm a little before she said softly, “Rong Jin?”
“Yes, it’s me,” Rong Jin replied softly. He leaned over and lightly kissed Yun Xiao on the cheek, then said softly, “It’s only been three days, how did you lose weight?”
Yun Xiao only smiled dryly. Because he was guarding the Jin Emperor’s wake, So everyone is soaked in water, ‘”I’m fine. I’ll be back in a few days. I’ll make up for it.” Because when Yun Xiao left home, Rong Jin gave her some medicine to nourish her kidneys and qi. In addition to the rest of the time, she was able to last for a while. Otherwise, she would have fainted yesterday.
Rong Jin pressed down on Yun Xiao’s waist, wishing he could rub Yun Xiao into his embrace. Yun Xiao knew how nervous Rong Jin was and whispered, “You said in the letter that Zhou Jingyan was already eyeing the Yun Clan, is that true?”
Despite Rong Jin’s obstruction, Zhou Jingyan still entered the capital the day after the Jin Emperor died and returned to the palace. However, Yun Xiao was fortunate that the places where men and women had to kneel and worship were different. Moreover, Yun Xiao had the intention to avoid them, so she had not seen Zhou Jingyan for the past two days.
“Yes, because the entire Imperial City was sealed off, I was unable to move out. In the past two days, I have already sent people to dig a secret tunnel. Tomorrow night, it will be almost clear. It will lead directly to the outside of the city.” If he could leave the capital through the secret passageway, he would be able to reduce the number of casualties.
“That’s good. Didn’t you say that Second Uncle and Third Brother and Fourth Brother had already left the city? How is it now?” Yun Xiao was afraid of arousing the suspicions of the people in the imperial palace, so she tried her best to keep a low profile these past few days and rarely contacted the outside world.
Zhou Jingyan’s men were very shrewd. If they found out earlier, they would only cause more trouble. That was why Rong Jin asked the people he sent to postpone the matter for a while until everything was settled in the Yun Clan.
“That’s good. Didn’t you say in your letter that Zhou Jingyan’s fifty thousand troops outside the city are already approaching the Imperial City? If those people charge in tomorrow when the Jin Emperor is buried, can we still leave?” This was what worried Yun Xiao the most.
Right now, she couldn’t figure out what Zhou Jingyan was thinking. He clearly knew that she and Rong Jin were in the capital, and that he was still under his nose, but he had never exposed her, making her feel that this matter was getting weirder and weirder.
One night, Yun Xiao was panicking. She felt that Zhou Jingyan was planning something big. That was why she immediately came to talk to him when she saw Rong Jin’s letter to her. “I always felt that the fifty thousand troops were not only trying to force the palace, they should be trying to capture us.” If that was the case, then no one in Yun Clan would be able to leave.
After what happened in Xi Yue, Xi Yue and Dong Jin were destined to have a war. But now, Xi Yue’s Yue Emperor was raised by Rong Jin alone, so their feelings were naturally extraordinary.
If he were to capture Rong Jin and use it to threaten Rong Ruo, at that time, if it was for Rong Jin’s sake, he would definitely have to make some concessions.
And this was not what Rong Jin wanted to see, so Yun Xiao really panicked.
“Don’t worry, you don’t have to think too much about it now. Tonight, I will move Liu Chan out. You should be able to return by tomorrow afternoon. I will pick you up at the entrance of the palace. We can go out at night.” Compared to Yunxiao’s urgency and nervousness, Rong Jin was very calm.
Yun Xiao nodded, “Alright, but I always feel that something big will happen. This matter is not under our control.”
Rong Jin gently rubbed Yun Xiao’s hair. “Don’t worry, we will be fine. Even if you really meet Zhou Jingyan, don’t be nervous. Tomorrow, I will create some chaos so that he won’t have the time to look after us.”
Yun Xiao nodded, “Alright, you have to be careful. I’ve been out for a long time today, so I have to go back.” If someone finds out, then something will definitely happen.
However, Rong Jin pressed Yun Xiao tightly into his embrace again and whispered, “Don’t be nervous. We will all be fine. I really want to live like this forever.”
Yun Xiao blushed slightly. She then handed a letter she had written to Rong Jin and whispered, “Give this to Ruo. This is my letter to Nuo and Tong Tong. Although they are still young, I still want them to know that we are very concerned about them.”
Rong Jin shook his head and laughed. He put away the letter, “Alright.”
Yun Xiao wrapped her hands around Rong Jin’s waist tightly. Her eyes were slightly red as she whispered, “Husband, if you can do it this time, I would like to beg you to protect Zhou Jingxu’s life.” In her previous life, Yun Xiao owed Zhou Jingxu a life, so she only wanted to see that Zhou Jingxu was safe and sound.
“Alright,” Rong Jin gently rubbed Yun Xiao’s hair, then lowered his head and lightly pecked at Yun Xiao’s lips.
Their eyes met, and they saw a wisp of uncertainty about the future in each other’s eyes. Their two lonely hearts were tightly clung together, and their lips were tightly clung together.
Just as the two of them were about to go deeper, they heard a knock on the door. Yun Xiao immediately pushed Rong Jin away and her expression changed slightly, “Someone is coming from outside. Hurry up and hide.”
Rong Jin held Yun Xiao’s hand tightly. Although Cai let go of her, “Take care. After tomorrow, we will be safe.”
Seeing Rong Jin fly out of the window, Yun Xiao heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she tidied up her clothes and pretended to walk out calmly.
However, as soon as he opened the door, he met a pair of glittering eyes. These eyes were filled with determination. “County princess An Ping, long time no see. How are you?”
Yun Xiao pretended to be calm and smiled for a moment, then respectfully walked forward and bowed, “Greetings, Your Highness the Third Prince.”
“Get up and accompany me for a walk?” Zhou Jingyan looked at Yun Xiao with a pair of fierce eyes, the corner of his mouth slightly raised.
Yun Xiao was originally still nervous, but now that she saw Zhou Jingyan’s appearance, she was half nervous. She said indifferently, “I’ve been out for a long time, and I have to go back. Besides, I have already married a woman, and His Highness the Third Prince has already married the Third Princess. It’s inappropriate for us to walk together.”
“Is it inappropriate?” Zhou Jingyan said coldly. Then, he glanced at the night sky and whispered, “Do you really think the person you just met can walk out of the palace?”
Yun Xiao’s heart trembled slightly as her eyes contracted sharply. A trace of danger flashed in the depths of her eyes as she said coldly, “What do you want?” Although Yun Xiao did not believe that Zhou Jingyan could really hurt Rong Jin, she could not help but feel a little nervous when she thought of the fact that the entire palace was Zhou Jingyan’s eyes and ears, and that the power of the palace was even more pervasive.
“I don’t want to do anything, I just want to talk to you. After all, I won’t have such a chance in the future, will I?” Zhou Jingyan’s voice was still faint, but his sinister eyes flashed with light.
When Yun Xiao heard what he meant, a trace of vigilance appeared in her eyes. She coldly said, “You’re right, there really won’t be such a chance in the future. However, isn’t the Third Prince afraid that the Third Princess will see him walk with me so openly?”
“So what if she sees it?” When Zhou Jingyan said this, he could always feel a strong sense of disdain and disdain.
Yun Xiao’s heart was cold. She said indifferently, “Indeed. However, His Highness the Third Prince may not care, but I am truly afraid that others will see me. His Highness the Third Prince should have said it earlier. Why are you looking for me today? Otherwise, I would have been uneasy in my heart, and I would not be able to continue on this path.”
Zhou Jingyan suddenly stopped and stared at Yun Xiao’s eyebrows. However, those eyebrows were filled with an aura of aggression. “Yun Xiao, if I bet that man’s life, would you give me a son?”
When he said this, his eyes were filled with seriousness. No one could see through his strange train of thought.
However, when Yun Xiao heard this, she suddenly smiled. The corner of her mouth rose slightly and she smiled happily. However, her eyes were filled with ridicule. “Zhou Jingyan, are you sure your mind is still clear now?” These words were almost indicative of cursing him for having lost his mind!
