Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 91

Chapter 091 Injury Is Punishable
Standing at the entrance of the palace again, Yun Xiao looked at the palace where she had died in her previous life. Although there was still a hint of hatred in her eyes, her mood was much calmer.

Right at this moment, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from not far away. Yun Xiao turned her head and saw that the carriage stopped in front of her.

She looked at the carriage and her heart trembled slightly. Sure enough, she saw a man wearing a moon-white robe walk out of the carriage.

Although her face had changed, Yun Xiao still recognized the man in front of her with a single glance. It was the man she had seen not long ago.

Rong Jin was dressed in a moonlight white robe. There was a faint smile on her face. Yun Xiao read out a faint smell of ridicule from this faint smile. Her dark and deep eyes were filled with charming luster. A person stood there, his eyes filled with calm. His skin was fair, and his delicate features carried a touch of warmth. Compared to the exquisite appearance that she often saw, it was a different kind of elegance.

I didn’t expect that a person with different attire would actually have so much charm.

Rong Jin got off the carriage and walked towards Yun Xiao. He cupped his hands and saluted, “Good morning, Eldest Princess.”

The Eldest Princess smiled, “I didn’t expect the Second Prince to come back so early?”

Rong Jin nodded to county princess Huining and Yun Xiao, then said, “Your Majesty had an urgent call last night. I originally wanted to come over last night, but your Majesty has an order that Xu Weichen will come this morning.”

His words were incomparably smooth, but Yun Xiao’s heart slowly began to calculate. She just didn’t know what the Jin Emperor was summoning Rong Jin for now?

She suddenly remembered something. It was about the beginning of December, and the people from Country of Xiyue came to pick up the proton at the beginning of December. As for the countries, even if they wanted to pick him up, they had to request and prepare in advance.

If his guess was correct, it should be because of this matter.

She sighed. Recently, she had suffered a lot from Rong Jin’s hands. It was good that she had left. However, before he left, she still had to think of a way to give him some antidotes to her own affairs.

When the Eldest Princess saw that it was the Emperor’s summons, she naturally did not say anything else. However, the smile on her lips was somewhat forced.

After entering the palace gate, the group of people had to part ways. After all, entering the harem was different from entering the court. When Rong Jin passed by Yun Xiao, he stuffed something into her hand and covered it with a wide sleeve. Others could not see the intersection of the two in an instant.

After seeing Rong Jin’s figure leave, county princess Hui Ning coldly snorted, “Miss Xiao, don’t run around in this palace. If you go to the wrong place and cause any trouble, mother and I will not be able to protect you.”

When Yun Xiao heard the gloating in her words, the corner of her mouth slightly rose. She did not expect that after such a little time, she would not be able to suppress it. She directly said, “Thank you for the county princess’s reminder. I will definitely not make things difficult for the eldest princess and county princess.”

After she finished speaking, she took a few steps forward and supported county princess Hui Ning’s arm. “I heard that county princess was frightened last night. Seeing that the wind was cold, I’ll support county princess.”

County Lord Hui Ning felt Yun Xiao’s hand on his arm. She felt her body stiffen slightly. She listened to Yun Xiao’s meaningful words and felt that Yun Xiao was mocking her. Her gaze sized up Yun Xiao’s face. She felt even more certain that the person who insulted her last night was Xiao Yuqi’s person. If not, how could it be so coincidental?

She quietly pushed Yun Xiao away, “I won’t bother you.” From last night onwards, as long as she could feel the contact of others, she would involuntarily recall what happened last night. Her heart became even more furious. She sent people to search for the big man who wanted to kill him, but could not find any trace of that person. This matter was really strange.

Yun Xiao took a step back. Her feet were unstable and she fell to the ground. She hurriedly used her hands to support her body. On the ground, the E Nuan Master had a sharp point that just happened to pierce her palm.

County princess Hui Ning did not expect that, She clearly pushed her a little. How could it be like this? She took a step forward and frowned slightly when she saw the blood in her palm. However, a faint smile appeared in the depths of her eyes. She had just entered the palace when she fell to the ground without any image. As long as she made a small mistake, she would be punished severely. “The wound is not deep, it won’t die!”

Yun Xiao was speechless. She didn’t say a word at all. The person who exclaimed was only the maidservant beside County Lord Hui Ning. “It’s my fault. I hope County Lord doesn’t scold your maidservant.”

County Lord Hui Ning’s heart surged with a trace of anger, but it was quickly suppressed, and it would only make you proud for a while longer.

When the Eldest Princess saw that the two of them were secretly fighting, killing intent flashed in her eyes. However, she quickly recovered, “Alright, it’s just a small injury. Hurry up and leave. Don’t let the Empress Dowager wait too long.”

Yun Xiao sneered in her heart. Her hands were still stained with blood, but none of the two of them said anything to bandage themselves. Since the two of you want to die so badly, I don’t mind giving you a ride!

At this moment, there were quite a few palace people standing outside the Palace of Myriad Fortune. Only after the eunuchs had reported to them did they invite them in.

Yun Xiao followed behind the two and bowed respectfully, “Empress Dowager Jin An.”

Before the empress dowager could say anything, county princess Huining had already taken a food box from her maidservant, Banxia. She smiled and said, “Grandmother, I got up early this morning and made some pastries for you. Have a taste of what it tastes like.”

The Empress Dowager was wearing a long jade-blue dress with a two-finger-wide autumn scent on her forehead. On her forehead was embroidered the words “blessing” with golden thread. “Is that so? It’s hard for Hui Ning to be so filial. Since that’s the case, then Ai Jia will have a taste of it.”

After the Empress Dowager finished her words, a steward granny immediately handed over the silver chopsticks. After the Empress Dowager picked up a small piece of pastry, she smiled and said, “I didn’t expect that Hui Ning’s cooking would improve in a while. The Ai Clan finally has a good taste.”

Seeing that the Empress Dowager was happy, Hui Ning brought out a stack of snacks. “Grandmother, try this osmanthus cake. I made it from newly picked osmanthus flowers. It tastes very good.”

The Empress Dowager took a small bite of the osmanthus cake with one chopstick.

The Eldest Princess also walked forward and picked up the tea in Nanny’s hand and handed it over. “Mother, although this dessert is delicious, you can’t eat too much. Drink a mouthful of tea first.”

After she finished speaking, the corner of her eyes turned to look at Yun Xiao who was still saluting below. She snorted coldly in her heart. She wanted to see how long this woman could last. “I didn’t expect that I, a mother, would not have as much weight in this girl’s heart as my grandmother. I didn’t see this girl bring out a dessert for me to taste during dinner this morning.”

The Empress Dowager was even happier when she heard this. After taking a sip of tea, she smiled and said, “You can be jealous of such a small matter.”

County princess Hui Ning also smiled slightly and was very charming. “Mother and I get along day and night. I don’t know how many snacks we’ve cooked for mother. It was very difficult to see grandmother. Naturally, I have to leave something good for grandmother.”

She even took the eldest princess’s message out with her infatuated little daughter’s posture, causing the Empress Dowager to smile even more. “You’ve only been gone for a long time, and you’ve become so eloquent. If you want to see me, you can come whenever you want to,” the Empress Dowager said with a smile on her face.

County princess Huining’s eyes lit up slightly and she immediately thanked him, “Then Huining thanked grandmother first.”

When Yun Xiao saw the eldest princess and county princess Hui Ning talking, she looked at her intentionally or unintentionally. She sneered even more in her heart, thinking that she wanted to punish her with such a small method? She was underestimating her. In her previous life, for the sake of Zhou Jingyan, she wanted to please the Empress Dowager, so she didn’t hesitate to kneel outside the palace gate for a few hours.

Another time, The Emperor misunderstood Zhou Jingyan. punish him, However, at that time, Zhou Jingyan was seriously injured, Many servants thought that the Third Prince had lost his position and no one had called a doctor for Zhou Jingyan. She secretly went out of the Third Prince’s secret room and begged for the entrance to the palace. On a stormy night, she knelt outside for two hours. The palace gate finally opened wide and sent an imperial physician to treat Zhou Jingyan. After returning, she fell ill.

Looking at the peaceful scene of the three of them, the mocking smile at the corner of her mouth rose even more. She lowered her gaze slightly and looked under her feet. She did not raise her head, but her posture was even more respectful.

There were many palace maids in Wanfu Palace, and no one was willing to remind the three of them because in their eyes, they were dispensable existences.

After an unknown amount of time, the Empress Dowager raised her eyes slightly and finally seemed to have seen Yun Xiao. “What is this?” He didn’t expect that he would kneel for so long without moving and not interrupt them. This was not bad. The Empress Dowager’s eyes were filled with admiration.

When Yun Xiao saw that she was asking him, she said respectfully, “The maiden is Xiao Yuqi, the eldest girl of the Duke of Xiao.”

Before the Empress Dowager could say anything, County Lord Hui Ning said, “Didn’t Grandmother promise you to get up? You’re still kneeling, but what do you need from Imperial Grandmother?”

Yun Xiao sneered in her heart. Before the Empress Dowager could say anything, she had blocked her path. She had never asked her to stand up before. She lowered her eyebrows and closed her eyes. “The maiden is asking for something else.”

The Empress Dowager’s gaze turned cold, and her good mood vanished. “You can get up first. What’s the matter?”

Yun Xiao naturally recognized the displeasure in the Empress Dowager’s voice. She narrowed her eyes slightly and stood up. However, when she stood up, a blood stain on her clothes and a small patch of blood on the ground undoubtedly leaked out.

Everyone’s gazes were immediately attracted by the pool of blood. The Empress Dowager’s face instantly condensed and she coldly snorted, “What’s going on?”

Yun Xiao calmly swept her gaze over the mother and son. A trace of coldness appeared in her gaze. Seeing a bloody light in the Empress Dowager’s palace was truly unlucky. Wouldn’t it be too late for the two of them to escape now?

‘”Reporting to the Empress Dowager, it was the maiden who accidentally fell onto a stone after entering the palace. However, there was nothing serious. The county princess said that the wound was not deep, but bandaging it was not good for the wound. The maiden did not notice it. She did not expect to bleed in Wanfu Palace. It was all the maiden’s fault. Please punish the maiden!”
