Yu Yunxi held the earring and was in a daze for a long time. After a while, she finally placed the earring back into the box, pretending as though she had never seen it.
‘Where is the warm jade?’
Yu Yunxi’s gaze fell on Feng Yili who was lying on the bed.
‘Is the warm jade on his body?’
With this thought in mind, Yu Yunxi quickly put the box back into its original position and strode toward the bed. She had stripped Feng Yili earlier to treat him so she did not have any scruples now. When she reached the bedside, she quickly searched through his clothes.
Unexpectedly, Yu Yunxi did not get to search for long before a large and warm hand grabbed her wrist.
Yu Yunxi stiffened and looked up hesitantly. She saw Feng Yili looking at her with a dark gaze.
‘He was so seriously injured, but he actually woke up so quickly?’
“Let go,” Yu Yunxi said when she finally reacted, trying to free herself from his grip.
However, Feng Yili’s grip only tightened in response. His gaze was dark as he asked, “Don’t you hate me? Why did you save me?”
“If Your Royal Highness wants to die, then do it far away. Don’t implicate me,” Yu Yunxi said indignantly as she glared at him.
In the next moment, Yu Yunxi felt a force on her wrist as Feng Yili pulled her onto the bed.
“You…”
Before she could finish speaking, she was already pressed down on the bed. She looked up and saw that his face was only half a finger away from hers. At such a close distance, she found it difficult to calm down. She quickly raised her hand to push him away, but when she recalled his wound, her strength weakened.
“Yu Yunxi, you can’t bear to hurt me,” Feng Yili said in a matter-of-fact tone. At the same time, his frown eased, and his eyes seemed to burn with some unknown emotions.
Yu Yunxi frowned as she said icily, “Feng Yili, there’s nothing between us now.”
Feng Yili frowned again. “Don’t forget that you’re my wife.”
When she heard the word ‘wife’, Yu Yunxi’s heart softened inexplicably. However, she quickly clenched her hands, trying hard to sober up.
Feng Yili asked, “If there’s nothing between us, why did you spend so much effort just to save me five years ago?”
His deep and dark eyes stared at her as though he wanted to devour her.
Yu Yunxi felt a little suffocated when she thought about the earring. She took a deep breath and asked in a trembling voice, “Did you already regain consciousness five years ago before we went into the Imperial Mausoleum?”
Feng Yili’s eyes seemed to regain clarity upon hearing this question. He said, “I was mostly unconscious and only woke up a few times in the middle of the night. However, I could hear your voice occasionally while I was unconscious.’ This was also why he knew all the things she had done for him back then. ‘No wonder I woke up in bed that time when I clearly fell asleep on the table…’
Suddenly, Yu Yunxi thought of something and asked nervously, “Then… Do you remember what happened after we entered the mausoleum?”
Yu Yunxi’s heart was racing in her chest when she asked this question. She clenched her hands tightly, and her breathing quickened.
Feng Yili’s eyes narrowed when he saw her nervous expression. He asked, “What happened at that time?”
Seeing his reaction, Yu Yunxi’s heart moved slightly.
‘It seems like… It seems like he’s unaware of what happened in the mausoleum..
However, Yu Yunxi still found it hard to forgive him. During those five years, he did not think about finding her at all. She was only in Xinan. Was it really that difficult for the Prince Regent to find her if he wanted to?
Moreover, in the past five years when she was in Xinan, she had heard the news of him helping the Yu family and also spoiling Yu Wanrong. It seemed like he did not care about her at all.
Yu Yunxi felt a surge of bitterness in her heart when she recalled these things. Her eyes were slightly wet. The words were at the tip of her tongue, but she could not say them. In the end, she only lowered her gaze to hide her emotions as she said shakily, “Nothing happened. Your Royal Highness, I should go back now.”
” Yu Yunxi ”
Seeing that Yu Yunxi had returned to her earlier state, Feng Yili was slightly annoyed.
Yu Yunxi did not want to be entangled with Feng Yili anymore. She tried to free herself from his arms, but he did not let her go.
“You’re going to leave just like that?” Feng Yili asked through gritted teeth.
“Your Royal Highness, I…”
Without rhyme or reason, Feng Yili suddenly said, “The assassins at the Drunken Harmony Parlor that day carried the tokens of the King of Xinan’s
Residence.”
“What?!” Yu Yunxi’s expression changed drastically. She asked angrily, “What do you mean? Are you saying that the King of Xinan sent people to assassinate you?”
“If I report this to Imperial Brother, I’m afraid that things would get worse for the King of Xinan,” Feng Yili said expressionlessly, returning to his usual self in front of others. He looked devoid of warmth, domineering, and cruel.
“The King of Xinan would never do such a thing! Moreover, if the assassins were sent by the King of Xinan, they would have recognized me!” Yu Yunxi protested.
“I know that it wasn’t the work of the King of Xinan. However, do you think Imperial Brother would care? Would the mastermind behind the incident care?” Feng Yili asked coldly.
Yu Yunxi’s heart sank when she heard these words.
‘That’s right… Someone must have deliberately framed Godfather… That b*stard Emperor doesn’t care about right and wrong at all. In fact, he probably can’t wait to use this matter to deal with the King of Xinan’s Residence…’
Yu Yunxi felt a sense of helplessness rising in her heart. She asked hoarsely, with a hint of resignation and exhaustion, “What do you want me to do?”
Feng Yili said lightly, “You injured me tonight so you have to be responsible for my injuries until they’re completely healed.”
“Impossible! I…”
Feng Yili interjected, “Since the Princess Consort says it’s impossible, I’ll enter the palace tomorrow morning and tell Imperial Brother about the assassination attempt at Drunken Harmony Parlor.”
“You!”
Yu Yunxi glared at him angrily. When she finally calmed down, she said through gritted teeth, “Don’t worry. You won’t die as long as I’m here. I’ll come back tomorrow to take a look at your injuries again.!”
After saying that, Yu Yunxi raised her hand to his shoulders to push him away. She stood up, preparing to leave.
Unexpectedly, Feng Yili made a move at this time, quickly tapping her acupoint.
‘He tapped my sleeping acupoint!’
Before she lost consciousness, she glared at him angrily and anxiously.
Subsequently, Feng Yili picked her up and placed her on the bed. He had used too much force and reopened his wound, but he did not even frown. He only stood by the bed and stared at her.
After a long time, he called out to the person on the other side of the door,
“Jiang Ying. ”
Jiang Ying pushed the door and entered the room. Seeing Feng Yili standing by the bed, he said, delighted, “Your Royal Highness, you’re awake!”
“Ask Jiang Chuan to bring a few servants to the Yu Residence and move the Princess Consort’s belongings here,” Feng Yili said calmly.
“The Princess Consort has agreed to return to the imperial residence?” Jiang Ying could not be happier. After waiting for five years, the Princess Regent was finally returning to the Prince Regent’s Residence!
“She didn’t agree,” Feng Yili said with a dark gaze.
‘Didn’t agree? Then, he’s going to act first and deal with the consequences later? When the Princess Consort wakes up, she’ll be even angrier than before,’ Jiang Ying thought to himself worriedly.
“Any updates from the person I asked you to send to Xinan?” Feng Yili asked.
“I just received a letter earlier. The people from the King of Xinan’s Residence are very tight-lipped. We didn’t learn much about the Princess Consort. However, something seems to have happened in the King of Xinan’s Residence…” Jiang Ying replied seriously.
“Something happened?”
“Yes. It seems like the King of Xinan’s Residence is looking for someone. Even the King of Xinan himself is concerned. It’s likely that someone from the residence has gone missing.”
‘Someone from the residence went missing?’
After a long time, Feng Yili said tonelessly, “We have to find out who they’re looking for at all costs.”
Feng Yili had a strong feeling that if he could find out who that person was, he would be able to unravel many secrets of the King of Xinan’s Residence.
“Yes, Your Royal Highness!”
