Chapter 178: Volume 1, Chapter 178: Wanting an Immunity Token and a Promise

Yun Xiang was startled, then looked at Yun Qiyue, "Then you..."

Yun Qiyue: "Rest assured, revenge doesn't necessarily mean making a scene. You just wait at home for your sister's good news."

Yun Xiang was pacified.

Thus, Yun Qiyue went to the front hall.

At this time, the Old Marquis was waiting in the front hall, only thinking that if his granddaughter didn't want to go, he would help deal with it; he hadn't really entertained the two of them.

Yun Qiyue arrived late, but the envoy and the head eunuch dared not show the slightest dissatisfaction; when they saw her, they hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Greetings, Miss Yun."

Yun Qiyue looked at the two, nodded slightly, then sat down beside the Old Marquis and asked indifferently: "Is there something you need?"

The servant had reported it, but she acted as if she didn't know.

Upon hearing this, the envoy hurriedly stepped forward, "It's like this, Miss Yun, our Xihai Princess recently encountered an assassination attempt and has been unwell these past few days; we would like to invite Miss Yun to take a look."

"If she is unwell, aren't there imperial physicians?" Yun Qiyue was very blunt, her expression indifferent and cold, "You must know, I am not anyone's exclusive doctor."

Upon hearing this, the envoy's expression turned ugly.

However, at this time, he dared not offend Yun Qiyue, so he looked at the head eunuch.

The head eunuch also hadn't expected Yun Qiyue to refuse and hurriedly said, "Miss Yun, this humble servant was sent by the Emperor to invite Miss Yun to treat the Xihai Princess."

Yun Qiyue looked at the eunuch, "As long as I don't want to go, it's useless whoever comes to invite me."

As soon as Yun Qiyue said this, the head eunuch was stunned.

This was openly defying an imperial decree!

And Yun Yongyuan was also stunned; he hadn't expected his granddaughter to be so domineering.

But defying an imperial decree... Yun Yongyuan was still somewhat worried.

But thinking of Ye Lanjue, Yun Yongyuan's worry suddenly vanished.

Having a backer is good indeed; one can act recklessly.

Hmm, as long as the Regent doesn't bully his granddaughter, it seems being a grandson-in-law isn't bad either.

"Miss Yun..." The head eunuch's face turned pale, not knowing what to say.

This Miss Yun was someone protected by the Regent; what could he say?

Let alone him, even if the Emperor came, he would probably only have room for anger.

The envoy's expression wasn't very good either; he hadn't expected Yun Qiyue to be so disrespectful.

However, thinking of the Princess's situation, the envoy took a step forward, "As long as Miss Yun is willing to save our Princess, any condition will do."

Upon hearing this, Yun Qiyue curled her lips.

"Any condition will do?"

How much confidence do these people have to always dare to let her set conditions?

Did they really think she hadn't seen the world and couldn't come up with an excessive condition?

The envoy nodded, "As long as you are willing to save the Princess..."

Yun Qiyue nodded, her lowered eyes revealing a trace of coldness.

If she could, she would want Qin Dairou to kneel and apologize to Yun Xiang, and then subject Qin Dairou to a round of torture.

After all, when she first met Yun Xiang, he not only had chronic poison in his body but had also been tortured beyond recognition.

The poison was only cured after Yun Xiang found her this time.

And during this time, how much had Yun Xiang endured?

But Yun Qiyue knew that this condition couldn't be proposed now.

"I want an immunity token from your Xihai, as well as a promise from the Princess," Yun Qiyue said.

Upon hearing "immunity token," the Xihai envoy's expression turned bad, and hearing that she wanted the Princess's promise, the Xihai envoy frowned even more, but still asked subconsciously, "What promise does Miss Yun want?"

Yun Qiyue: "In the future, no matter when or where, whatever request I make, she must comply; otherwise, I can make her continue to be as sick as I made her well."

Yun Qiyue's arrogance ultimately drove the Xihai envoy away.

Mainly, the Xihai envoy couldn't make the decision and couldn't agree to the conditions Yun Qiyue proposed.

Once the envoy left, Yun Yongyuan looked at Yun Qiyue with a worried face.

His granddaughter was domineering, but if the Regent stopped protecting her, could his granddaughter withstand the retaliation from Xihai?

Although he could also protect his granddaughter, he might kick the bucket any day.

Thinking of this, Yun Yongyuan voiced the worry in his heart.

Yun Qiyue raised her eyebrows, looking confident, "Grandfather, walking in this world, the only thing you can rely on is yourself; I have never thought of being anyone's appendage."

Even if she was currently borrowing the Regent's influence, that was because it would be foolish not to use it, but it didn't mean she was completely dependent on it.

In other words, her arrogance now appeared to be borrowing the Regent's influence, but if the Regent stopped being her backer, she still had the ability to protect herself.

Otherwise, being arrogant without any self-protection ability—wouldn't that be what a fool does?

It was the first time Yun Yongyuan heard his granddaughter say such things, and he was stunned.

But soon, Yun Yongyuan's eyes turned red.

For his granddaughter to be so independent and self-reliant, she must have suffered greatly over these past three years...

On the other side, at the Post House.

The envoy brought back Yun Qiyue's original words, and the Princess was so angry she nearly fainted, her eyes turning red with rage.

At this time, someone beside her spoke, "If you don't want to go to the afterlife early, you'd better restrain your temper."

The voice was cold and ruthless, but it was just enough to make Qin Dairou react.

At this time, Qin Dairou was pale and lying on the bed without much vitality.

Although this assassination attempt didn't kill Qin Dairou on the spot, it left her severely injured.

Her life was saved, but if she didn't receive treatment, she would still die.

And at this time, in Qin Dairou's room, besides the envoy, there was also the Xihai Sixth Prince, Qin Ye, and a cold-faced man dressed in black tight-fitting clothes.

And the one who spoke just now was this man.

Qin Ye to the side had no reaction to the man's words but let the envoy withdraw.

Qin Ye glanced at the man and then looked at the Princess.

"Your promise is easy to handle, but an immunity token, I'm afraid there isn't one."

This was the truth.

This was the Donglin Kingdom, not Xihai.

Even if they sent a letter back to ask for a token, it would take quite some time to go back and forth.

By then, I'm afraid the Imperial Sister's body wouldn't be able to hold on.

But Qin Dairou had always been favored; let alone an immunity token, she didn't even want to agree to a promise.

She was high and mighty; when had she ever agreed to any promise to anyone?

"Don't agree," Qin Dairou gritted her teeth, "I don't believe that if we put pressure on the Donglin Emperor, she, Yun Qiyue, won't come."

"Do you think the Donglin Regent is a pushover?" the man in black spoke again.

Upon hearing this, Qin Dairou's face turned pale.

Qin Ye looked at the man in black, "Then what should we do?"

The man in black looked at Qin Dairou, "If you want to live, you have no choice but to agree."

Qin Dairou felt aggrieved and still unwilling, "But I don't have an immunity..."

Qin Dairou's words stopped when the man revealed what was in his hand.

Because what the man in black was holding was indeed the Xihai Kingdom's immunity token.

Qin Ye was also shocked: "You..."

"Don't forget, you owe me a life." After the man in black finished speaking, he threw the token to Qin Dairou and walked out.

No one dared to stop him.

On the other side, when Yun Qiyue was drinking tea with the Old Marquis, Qin Dairou's letter of promise and the Xihai immunity token were delivered to the General's Mansion.

"Grandfather, drink the tea yourself; I'm leaving."

Treating... no, curing Qin Dairou, she couldn't wait. ===== CHAPTER 179 =====
