Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 86

Chapter 086 Rong Jin Tastes Good
Yun Xiao looked at what was happening in front of her, the corner of her mouth slightly raised, and she was in an extremely good mood.

At this moment, County Lord Huining was dumbfounded as he looked at Rong Jin, “No, someone, send for the imperial physician.” Wasn’t the medicine saying that she wanted to harm Zhou Jingyan by smelling two strands of aphrodisiac on her body?

How could she bear such a crime!

Her gaze fiercely looked at Rong Jin and Yun Xiao. At this moment, Rong Jin suddenly said, “The smell of the medicine on the county princess is the same as that on Mrs. Li, but the other smell is the same as that in the soup on the ground.”

County princess Hui Ning was stunned for a moment, then she understood what this meant. She looked at Li Qiaolan fiercely, wishing she could rush forward and beat that bitch to death. Today’s matter must be Madam Li framing her.

Her face was filled with anger. However, when she saw Zhou Jingyan, her expression returned to normal. “Third Prince, since that’s the case, please give me an explanation.”

She kindly brought a doctor to treat his illness, but in the end, she was framed by a concubine. Even if she said it out loud, there was no common sense at all.

Yun Xiao just looked at all of this with cold eyes and suddenly said, “Third Prince, why are you in such a hurry to convict him before he has finished investigating?”

When Li Qiaoyun heard her words, she immediately turned to look at her. “Third Prince, it was this woman who entered with the county princess. Perhaps it was the medicine she brought with her. She wanted to drug the Third Prince. After all, only she, Third Prince and Doctor Jin were inside.”

Doctor Jin was called here by her, so she naturally listened to her the most. Although she did not say this, everyone understood what she wanted to say in their hearts.

Yun Xiao only chuckled, her eyes full of mockery. “Since Madam Li doesn’t trust me, in order to prove her innocence, please ask Doctor Jin to examine her as well.”

Rong Jin curled his lips and smiled. As usual, he walked to her side and sniffed at her for a while before saying, “Miss Xiao doesn’t have the scent of medicine on her body.”

Yun Xiao smiled faintly, “Since that’s the case, please ask Doctor Jin to also examine Mrs. Li.”

Although Rong Jin did not know why Bai Yunxiao was targeting Li Qiaoyun, he naturally had no objections. He walked directly to Li Qiaoyun’s side and frowned. “Madam Li has a very strong medicinal fragrance on her body.”

County Lord Hui Ning’s eyes immediately lit up. “It must be Madam Li. Please send someone to search.”

Zhou Jingyan’s gloomy gaze fell on Li Qiaolan. Li Qiaolan’s heart trembled, “Third Prince, you have to believe me. How could I do such a thing?”

At this moment, Rong Jin, who had already walked to the door to examine the soup on the ground, came back. “Report to the Third Prince, there is musk in the soup.” Musk has an aphrodisiac effect. Many people know it. Especially at night, it can help them to enjoy themselves. This is a common method used by many nobles.

However, Zhou Jingyan had been unconscious for a long time now. If he hadn’t used medicine and Liushi Bu Tang to hang his life, he would have already lost his lithium breath. If he had used musk now, he wouldn’t have been able to recover his life.

Zhou Jingyan’s expression changed without Rong Jin continuing. He really valued Steward Li, but once his life was threatened, he would definitely not ignore him. “What’s going on?”

The atmosphere suddenly sank. Li Qiaolan’s expression immediately changed. “Third Highness, I didn’t know that there was musk in this tonic. Please spare me, Third Highness.” She had always been by Steward Li’s side for a long time, so she naturally knew about these things. If Zhou Jingyan decided that it was his medicine, even if she didn’t die this time, she would definitely not be able to gain favor again in the future.

Zhou Jingyan looked at Butler Li. Butler Li lowered his head and didn’t say a word, as if he was the one who made the decision.

His gaze slowly condensed as he coldly snorted, “Someone, search for Mrs. Li!”

As soon as she finished speaking, a woman walked out from behind and stood in front of Li Qiaolan. She said respectfully, “I have offended you.”

After saying that, he wanted to search her body, but how could Li Qiaolan be willing? She jumped back and immediately a bag of things fell out of her wide sleeve. The woman squatted down and picked it up. “Reporting to Your Highness Third Prince, it fell from Mrs. Li.”

Before Zhou Jingyan could reach out to take it, Rong Jin frowned. “The smell of the medicine inside is exactly the same as the smell emitted by County Lord Hui Ning.”

He stretched out his hand and took the medicine bag. One by one, he took it away, revealing the white powder inside. He dipped the tip of his right finger into it, tasted it, and his expression changed slightly. “This is the powder grinded from the leaves and branches of Epimedium.”

Herba Epimedii itself had the effect of strengthening the yang, and Musk also had this effect. When the two medicines were mixed, the medicinal effect was extremely strong! Not only that, Epimedium can also let men leak their semen and help women conceive.

However, Zhou Jingyan’s body could not withstand such a torment! It would definitely take his life!

Zhou Jingyan looked at Li Qiaolan and realized that there was a slight estrangement. “What do you have to say?” He further thought that it must be Li Qiaolan who thought that she could not survive, so she decided to have her own child. Even if she died, she would still have a place in the manor.

He had always doted on her, but he never thought that this woman would think that he would not survive. For her own sake, he even took a step forward on the road to hell.

Although Li Qiaolan could not say that she understood Zhou Jingyan very well, she could clearly see the alienation in his eyes. She immediately knelt down and kowtowed to the ground, “Third Highness, I really don’t know how this medicine pack appeared on my body.” She didn’t even put this pack of medicine, she really didn’t know.

Yun Xiao looked at her coldly. Every time this woman was punished, she would mock her and make her punishment heavier. Now, she could finally taste this inexplicable feeling.

Li Qiaolan suddenly blamed Yun Xiao, “It’s her. It must be her. Only she came into contact with me. She put the medicine on me and blamed me. Please take a good look at it, Third Highness.”

The sewage was finally spilled on him, The corner of Yun Xiao’s mouth curled up slightly, and a trace of mockery appeared in her eyes. “Madam Li, what you said is wrong. You walked all the way from your courtyard to this place. How many people did you meet on the way? Not to mention when I went out earlier, I saw you and the guards pulling and pulling each other. Why did you say that I was the only one who came into contact with you?”

After Yun Xiao finished speaking, her expression did not change. She continued, “Moreover, before you smashed the medicine bowl, I was quite a distance away from you. Could it be that I flew to your side and drugged the medicine bowl?”

Her confession caused Li Qiaolan’s expression to instantly change!

The musk in the medicine bowl was indeed her. However, this medicine bag was not hers. However, now, she was speechless. Nothing was right!

She lowered her head and rolled her eyes. A wisp of determination flashed through her eyes. Suddenly, she stood up. “Third Highness, what I said is wrong now. I would rather prove my innocence by death.”

Before the crowd could react, she slammed into a pillar on one side. When someone pulled her, she had already slammed into the pillar. In an instant, blood flowed from her forehead and she fainted.

Housekeeper Li was still standing at the side, not even moving a muscle, and he didn’t even raise his head, as if he didn’t care about his daughter’s life or death at all.

However, Yun Xiao knew that it wasn’t that Butler Li didn’t want to plead for mercy, but he knew that pleading for mercy would only make Li Qiaolan’s crime worse, and it would also make Zhou Jingyan unhappy. This matter could only be handled by Li Qiaolan herself!

Yun Xiao looked at the woman who had fainted. The corner of her mouth curled into a trace of mockery. She had just seen that when Li Qiaolan hit the pillar, her body paused slightly in front of the pillar. She had already removed more than half of her strength.

Otherwise, not only would she be injured and bleeding at this time, but she would not expose her and let her continue acting. In the end, Zhou Jingyan would personally expose her family’s identity. This was torture for Li Qiaolan.

Seeing Butler Li’s expression, Zhou Jingyan turned his eyes and said warmly, “Please help Doctor Jin treat her.”

Rong Jin cupped his hands and gestured to Li Qiaolan, who had fainted. After treating him for a while, he stood up and said, “Report to the Third Prince, Madam Li is more than a month pregnant. She fainted with an uneasy expression.”

Everyone was stunned by his words. Zhou Jingyan’s eyes flashed with killing intent. “What did you say?”

Rong Jin lowered his eyes and said, “Mrs. Li is already more than a month pregnant.”

Zhou Jingyan frowned, “Help Mrs. Li back to the courtyard first.”

Immediately, a maidservant woman wanted to carry Li Qiaolan away. However, county princess Hui Ning was unwilling to let this opportunity slip by. Who would have thought that that woman would actually be pregnant with Zhou Jingyan’s child first? How could this be?

She tightened her hands and turned to look at Zhou Jingyan, “Third Prince, what happened today …”

Zhou Jingyan’s pale and thin face had a hint of fatigue on it. “I’m a little tired today. When I find out the truth, I’ll definitely give the county princess an explanation.”

As soon as he said this, he wanted to protect Li Qiaolan. County Lord Hui Ning gritted his teeth in hatred, but he could only chuckle. “Since that’s the case, I’ll wait for good news and congratulate His Highness the Third Prince on having a precious son.”

The last few words she said made her gnash her teeth, but Yun Xiao was slightly stunned. In her previous life, until she married Zhou Jingyan, he had no children, but why was Li Qiaolan pregnant now?

Her gaze once again turned to Zhou Jingyan, who had a gentle expression. Her eyes flashed slightly. Yes, how could a man like him, who was wholeheartedly devoted to the throne, allow a lowly woman to give birth to her eldest son?

In his previous life, he despised his low status, so he didn’t allow himself to give birth to a child. After repeated miscarriages, he finally gave birth to Nuo Nuo, but he didn’t want to be trampled to death by this man in front of him!

Why would she believe this man? She only hated him! But now, she was increasingly looking forward to Li Qiaolan’s fate. She just didn’t know what would happen to her if Li Qiaolan knew that Zhou Jingyan would get rid of her child.

“What? You’re reluctant to part with the expulsion order?”

A slightly unhappy voice came. Yun Xiao was slightly surprised. Turning around, she saw a pair of black eyes that couldn’t see the bottom. A trace of displeasure seemed to flash through the depths of those eyes?
