Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 92
Chapter 092 Not Marrying Jing Yan
“What are you talking about?” County princess Huining was slightly angry when she heard Yun Xiao’s words. She looked at Yun Xiao who was standing in the middle with displeasure.
If the Empress Dowager believed Yun Xiao’s words, wouldn’t she think that she was deliberately letting Yun Xiao’s tainted blood flow in Wanfu Palace?
When county princess Huining thought of this, she immediately stood up and saluted, “Reporting to Imperial Grandmother, she …”
When the corner of her eyes saw Yun Xiaoruo’s seemingly mocking gaze, she was directly stunned.
The Empress Dowager waited for a while, but didn’t see anything from County Lord Hui Ning. She frowned in displeasure, “What’s going on?”
The Eldest Princess saw the Empress Dowager getting angry ‘”Mother, it’s just a joke. Hui Ning is saying that the imperial physician here is better. Perhaps you can ask for spiritual medicine here, and there are no scars on your hands. However, we all saw the scars at that time. I didn’t expect that there would be so much blood in such a short period of time. Please send a imperial physician to Miss Xiao.”
Her words were extremely clever. After avoiding everything, she even shifted the blame onto Yun Xiao.
Yun Xiao sneered in her heart. Her expression carried traces of grievance. That grievance was handled perfectly. Even if she did not say anything, people would still be able to sense that this matter had other secrets.
County princess Huining, who was watching from the side, frowned slightly. She glared at Yun Xiao with hatred and snorted coldly. Just as she was about to accuse Yun Xiao, she saw the Eldest Princess glance in her direction and could only swallow all her words.
She was in a bad mood, so she was naturally unwilling to plead for Yun Clan. The Eldest Princess also smiled faintly without saying a word. The Empress Dowager frowned and said, “Pass on a doctor first.”
Before he could continue asking, the eunuch announced, “Imperial Concubine Hua is here!”
When Yun Xiao heard Concubine Hua coming, The smile at the corner of his mouth became even more intense. She had long anticipated what would happen today, County princess Hui Ning and eldest princess would not plead for Yun Clan, so they had already sent someone to inform Hua Fei that the third prince was fine. Today, on the palace road, they deliberately stalled to spread the news of county princess Hui Ning entering the palace to Imperial Concubine Hua’s ears. Imperial Concubine Hua knew of this news, so she would definitely come to Wanfu Palace to meet him.
Although this series of calculations seemed to be very simple, none of them could go wrong.
Not long after, Imperial Concubine Hua walked in. Imperial Concubine Hua wore a lotus-colored silk-carved mud-gold-silver ruyi cloud-pattern forged dress with Ruyi high temples and a jade hairpin embedded with luminous pearls. The luminous pearls were the size of cobblestones and emitted faint milk.
As soon as Hua Fei entered, she attracted all the Hua Feng in the room. When county princess Huining saw Hua Fei’s face, there seemed to be a trace of hatred and jealousy in her eyes!
Yun Xiao naturally saw all of this in her eyes. Imperial Concubine Hua raised her hand and threw her hand with unlimited brilliance. Otherwise, why would she be given to the Emperor by Zhou Jingyan and become the Emperor’s pet imperial concubine?
When Hua Fei walked past her, Yun Xiao smelled a faint fragrance of roses. A faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. However, this smile did not reach her eyes. She did not expect Hua Fei to have already used the recipe for the rose dew so quickly.
However, she could also imagine that Imperial Concubine Hua was originally extremely beautiful. However, as she grew older, her face would grow old. The final outcome would definitely be the same fate as those unfavored imperial concubines in the palace. As long as she had a way to maintain her beauty, Imperial Concubine Hua would definitely use it at all costs. As for the rose dew, it would naturally be extremely good.
Imperial Concubine Hua bowed slightly and greeted, “This concubine greets the Empress Dowager.”
When the Empress Dowager saw Concubine Hua, her expression changed. “Get up, why did Concubine Hua come so early today?”
Imperial Concubine Hua smiled, making the air in the palace seem to have a bit more dazzling. “This concubine is here to congratulate the Empress Dowager.”
“What joy?” The Empress Dowager was just in a low mood when she heard that there was something good happening.
“The Third Prince’s body is already well. Furthermore, the person who cured the Third Prince is our county princess Hui Ning. Isn’t this a good thing?” Imperial Concubine Hua slowly sat down with the help of the palace maid.
“This is really good news.” Over the past few days, the news of Third Prince Zhou Jingyan being injured and still unconscious had spread throughout the Imperial Palace. In addition, Zhou Jingyan had always been filial. The Empress Dowager treated him well, so she worried about him these days. This kind of thing was really good news!
“Oh? I didn’t expect that Huining would save Jing Yan?”
A hint of joy flashed across County Lord Hui Ning’s face. If he admitted it, he would be Zhou Jingyan’s savior. After marrying Zhou Jingyan, his status would naturally be even more different. After Zhou Jingyan became the emperor, the position of empress would be his. This matter really tempted him!
However, the only thing that worried people was Xiao Yuqi. Xiao Yuqi was the most clear about this matter. Her gaze looked at Xiao Yuqi, and a thick killing intent flashed in her eyes.
On the other side, the Eldest Princess interrupted, “It wasn’t just Hui Ning who contributed, but also Miss Xiao. If Miss Xiao hadn’t gone to find Hui Ning and asked Hui Ning to invite a miraculous doctor, Hui Ning wouldn’t have found a miraculous doctor so quickly.”
Yun Xiao listened to the Eldest Princess, There was once again a trace of admiration for this woman. If all the credit belongs to county princess Huining, If someone spilled the beans, the situation would be even harder to end. However, the truth was different now. The truth was even more convincing. If she had asked them for help, she would not dare to refute it. Not to mention, she had only mentioned her contribution to Hui Ning at the end of the story, but she had only given Hui Ning a huge credit for it.
‘”Oh? So that’s the case. Hui Ning and the Eldest Princess have their own intentions.” The Empress Dowager finally smiled kindly when she heard this. If the two of them were able to blend so well, the matter just now must have nothing to do with Hui Ning.
Hua Fei also smiled and said, “I didn’t expect this matter to have such a history. Speaking of which, county princess Huining is only half a year away. It’s time for county princess to consider it.”
County princess Hui Ning looked at Imperial Concubine Hua gratefully. She did not expect that she would actually speak up for her. However, her gaze quickly shifted to the Empress Dowager. As long as the Empress Dowager spoke, she would no longer be hindered from marrying Zhou Jingyan.
The Empress Dowager also remembered this matter and thought about it carefully before saying, “Yes, our Huining’s status is noble, so we naturally have to consider the choice of our husband.” She treated her daughter badly, and now she wanted to make up for it with Hui Ning.
The Eldest Princess also had a faint smile on her face. If Hui Ning’s marriage was chosen too later, she would naturally not end up in such a miserable situation like herself in her previous life. No one could make a fuss about her daughter’s marriage.
Hua Fei smiled and said, “Empress Dowager, isn’t the Third Prince the best choice now? The Third Prince is the county prince’s cousin. The county prince has made great contributions to saving the Third Prince this time.”
When Huining heard Hua Fei’s words, the smile in her eyes became even more intense. If the Empress Dowager really pointed her finger at the Third Prince, Zhou Jingyan, she would definitely thank Hua Fei. Her face was slightly flushed with embarrassment.
The Empress Dowager looked at Concubine Hua for a while, and her eyes were filled with displeasure. She said directly, “Third Prince?”
When Yun Xiao heard what the Empress Dowager said, she couldn’t hide her smile. If the Empress Dowager intended to point the county prince of Hui Ning to the Third Prince, she definitely wouldn’t wait for Imperial Concubine Hua to say it. Her gaze shifted to Imperial Concubine Hua again. This woman was very loyal to Zhou Jingyan. She definitely wouldn’t casually direct Zhou Jingyan’s marriage.
Since she dared to say it, First, he knew what the Empress Dowager was thinking. Therefore, he actually tried to probe the county princess of Hui Ning, Second, in front of the crowd, she cut off county princess Hui Ning’s thoughts. After all, county princess Hui Ning’s status was noble and she also had a fief. However, there was no power behind it that could be of use to Zhou Jingyan’s struggle for the first wife. Right now, her only use for the Third Prince was that she had money. However, the money she earned was not enough for Yun Clan’s rarity. Naturally, she did not like it.
County princess Huining’s face turned pale when she heard this. She immediately stood up and asked why. However, before she could move, she was blocked by the Eldest Princess. “It’s all up to the Queen Mother.”
County princess Hui Ning was not convinced and was pinched by the eldest princess. She looked at the eldest princess and saw that her expression was firm. She could only swallow the words that came to her mouth.
The Empress Dowager smiled and said, “Does An Ping have any children he likes?” An Ping is the title of the Eldest Princess.
Before the Eldest Princess could reply, a eunuch came in and announced that the imperial physician had arrived.
After the empress dowager invited the imperial physician to come in, she asked the imperial physician to treat Yun Xiao. After the imperial physician checked, he cleaned up Yun Xiao’s wound. However, when the medicine was applied, Yun Xiao’s body stiffened slightly. She raised her eyes to look at the imperial physician, and a dangerous light flashed in her eyes. He didn’t expect that he would actually dare to poison himself in front of a large crowd. What he did was his vicious intentions!
Not long after, after the imperial physician understood, the Empress Dowager looked at Yun Xiao and said, “Miss Xiao, of course you want to reward me based on merit. May I know what kind of reward Miss Xiao wants?”
Yun Xiao immediately knelt down with a respectful expression. “The maiden and the four girls of the Yun Clan are very close to each other. I heard from the Divine Doctor that the Third Prince is not poisoned, so I would like to ask the Empress Dowager to give the Yun Clan a clean slate.”
The Third Prince was not poisoned, so the matter of poisoning the Third Prince that had been detained on the Yun Family’s body would naturally be resolved. Once the royal family reached a higher level, they would naturally follow the situation downhill.
The Empress Dowager’s gaze twisted slightly. “Miss Xiao, don’t you want to ask for something for yourself?”
Yun Xiao respectfully lowered her head and said, “The maiden has nothing else to ask for.”
“She is a good woman,” the Empress Dowager praised in admiration. “Since that’s the case, the Yun Clan is innocent and will naturally be released. However, you should be rewarded for your merits.”
Imperial Concubine Hua saw this and said again, “The Duke’s Mansion of the Xiao Kingdom also has quite a few good things. I think Miss Xiao is pretty good. The Third Prince just happened to have another trial marriage.”
The Empress Dowager looked at Hua Fei calmly and snorted coldly, “Why has Hua Fei been looking for a marriage for the Third Prince?”
Hua Fei covered her mouth with her handkerchief and smiled softly. “The Emperor has always been worried about the Third Prince’s illness. It is my duty to share the worries for you. The Third Prince does not have a mother. This time, the Third Prince is seriously injured. There is no one in charge of the manor. If you can marry the Third Prince, there is no need to worry about someone taking care of him.”
The Empress Dowager nodded in approval. The Third Prince had already reached marriageable age, but he did not marry a concubine. He was indeed going to be on the agenda. She looked down at Xiao Yuqi, who was standing with her head lowered. She was indeed a good woman.
However, the Duke’s Mansion of the Xiao Kingdom had been in decline recently. Making such a marriage had wronged Zhou Jingyan. Just as the Empress Dowager was hesitating, she heard the eunuch shouting loudly outside, “The Third Prince is here!”
