“Princess Consort, you’re awake.”
As soon as Yu Yunxi opened her eyes, she heard a female voice. She turned to the side and saw four maidservants kneeling by the bed with the things needed to help her to wash up.
Clarity returned to her bit by bit, and when she finally recalled what happened last night, her expression turned cold.
‘Feng Yili hit my sleeping acupoint!’
Yu Yunxi ignored the maidservants as she lifted the quilt and got up.
The maidservants were anxious, and they did not dare to stop her. They could only follow behind her carefully.
When Jiang Ying, who was guarding the door, saw Yu Yunxi, he quickly bowed respectfully. “Greetings, Princess Consort.”
“Where’s your master?” Yu Yunxi asked through gritted teeth.
“His Royal Highness went to court early in the morning,” Jiang Ying replied.
‘Is he crazy? How can he attend court with such serious injuries?’
Yu Yunxi was even more angry when she heard Jiang Ying’s reply.
Jiang Ying thought that Yu Yunxi was worried that Feng Yili would report the assassination attempt at Drunken Harmony Parlor so he quickly said, “Don’t worry, Princess Consort. His Royal Highness isn’t going to say anything about the assassination attempt.”
Upon hearing this, Yu Yunxi’s expression darkened even more. She had almost forgotten that Feng Yili had threatened her last night.
‘Wait… Why does this look so familiar?’
Yu Yunxi’s attention was suddenly caught by something. She realized that the flowers in the yard were exactly the same as the ones in her yard.
“This…” Jiang Ying coughed, looking awkward. He scratched his head, not knowing how to explain this.
Yu Yunxi walked over to the flowers. She bent down and touched the flowers, and her expression turned cold. She turned around and asked sharply, “These flowers were dug out from my yard and brought here, right?”
“Princess Consort, it’s not just these flowers. Everything in your courtyard has been moved here,” Jiang Ying said truthfully after he braced himself.
Yu Yunxi quickly walked back into the room and saw many of her things in Feng Yili’s room.
“Feng Yili,” Yu Yunxi said through gritted teeth, looking murderous.
“P-Princess Consort…”Jiang Ying called out, wanting to speak up for his master.
However, it seemed like Yu Yunxi was no longer interested in this matter. She turned around and asked, “Where’s my maidservant?”
“County Princess…
Qian Jiao’s voice rang promptly at this moment.
Qian Jiao rushed over, looking slightly unstable on her feet. The sleeping drug was too strong after all. She asked worriedly, “County Princess, did they hurt you?”
“I’m fine,” Yu Yunxi replied, shaking her head gently.
“County Princess, what should we do now?” Qian Jiao looked at Yu Yunxi helplessly.
There were more than twenty guards and maidservants in this courtyard. These people were obviously placed here to prevent them from escaping. ‘Is Feng Yili trying to put me under house arrest?’
Yu Yunxi said mockingly with a sneer, “His Royal Highness is really thoughtful.”
Nonetheless, Yu Yunxi had no interest in running away now. What Feng Yili said to her last night really made her feel uneasy, after all. Who was it that wanted to frame the King of Xinan’s Residence? If they could not find the culprit, there would be even more danger. She would have to wait for Feng Yili’s return before asking him about it.
At this moment, Jiang Ying thought of something and quickly said, “Princess Consort, last night when we went to the Yu Residence to move your things, your subordinates tried to stop us… We…”
“What did Lord Jiang do to my people?” Yu Yunxi asked as her eyes flashed with a fierce light.
Jiang Ying panicked and quickly explained, “Princess Consort, we didn’t hurt your people! We only invited them to the imperial residence.”
The current Prince Regent’s Residence was rather lively.
At this moment, Qian Mei, who was wearing a human skin mask, appeared. Her expression was rather murderous when she looked at the people of the Prince
Regent’s Residence.
“County Princess.”
“Qian Mei, follow me,” Yu Yunxi said. She was too lazy to bother with the people of the Prince Regent’s Residence now. She had more important things to discuss with her people.
Jiang Ying and the others watched as Yu Yunxi led Qian Jiao and Qian Mei into the room before closing the door. Naturally, they did not dare to approach.
Jiang Ying heaved a sigh of relief.
‘Fortunately, the Princess Consort doesn’t seem to have any intentions of leaving the imperial residence. If she left, I wouldn’t know how to explain myself when the Prince Regent returns…’
“County Princess, how are you?”
Qian Jiao’s voice rang promptly at this moment.
Qian Jiao rushed over, looking slightly unstable on her feet. The sleeping drug was too strong after all. She asked worriedly, “County Princess, did they hurt you?
“I’m fine. There’s a troublesome matter now,” Yu Yunxi said before telling them about the incident in the Drunken Harmony Parlor.
Qian Mei clenched her hands and said, “The Prince Regent is right. Those people won’t let Xinan go. I really didn’t expect them to act so quickly.”
“Qian Mei, investigate the assassins. I think we might have a spy in Xinan,” Yu Yunxi said solemnly.
“Yes, County Princess.”
Yu Yunxi thought about something and asked, “By the way, why were you at the Yu Residence last night? Didn’t I tell you to follow Junjin?”
“I received letters from Xinan and Qian Qing so I wanted to bring them to you,’ Qian Mei said before she brought out two letters.
Yu Yunxi’s eyes lit up, and she felt her frustration leave. “Godbrother’s letter has arrived?”
Yu Yunxi quickly read the letter. However, after reading the letter, her expression turned icy.
Seeing Yu Yunxi’s expression, Qian Mei and Qian Jing exchanged a look.
“County Princess, is the young master’s letter about the little master’s disappearance? The letter we sent to inform them about the situation should arrive soon. At that time, everyone can rest assured.”
“It’s not that,” Yu Yunxi shook her head and said grimly, “Godbrother said that someone went to Xinan to investigate me…”
“Could it be the b*stard Emperor’s men?”
Yu Yunxi lowered her gaze and said, “It doesn’t seem like it… Brother suspects it’s… Feng Yili’s men.”
“Then the matter about Little Master…”
“We should be able to hide it. After all, everyone in Xinan thinks that Junjin is Brother’s son. I’m only his aunt,” Yu Yunxi said softly.
Yu Yunxi was determined to hide this matter. If Yu Junjin’s identity was exposed, the Emperor, the Crown Prince, and the other princes who hated Feng Yili and the King of Xinan would only see Yu Junjin as a thorn in their side.
Finally, Yu Yunxi calmed down and said, “Alright, all of you act according to the situation. Junjin’s safety is the most important.”
“Yes.”
After reading the other letter, Yu Yunxi said softly, “Qian Qing will be coming to meet us in the capital in a few days.”
“Qian Qing is coming?!”
Qian Jiao and Qian Mei were shocked.
“Isn’t Qian Qing very averse to coming to the capital?” Qian Jiao muttered to herself.
Qian Mei pondered for a moment before she speculated out loud, “Now that the
County Princess and the little master are in the capital, she must be worried…” Yu Yunxi was their savior after all. That was why Yu Yunxi and Yu Junjin’s safety was very important to them.
Yu Yunxi’s expression was solemn as she held the letter in her hand.
Frankly speaking, she did not want Qian Qing to come to a place that made her sad. However, if Qian Qing did not face her demons, she would never be able to heal from her scars.
Seeing the troubled expression on Yu Yunxi’s face, Qian Mei quickly said reassuringly, “County Princess, Qian Mei is stronger than we imagined. Moreover, among the three of us, she’s the only one who possesses medical skills. She’ll be able to help you when she comes to the capital.’
Indeed, Yu Yunxi lacked people to help her in the medical hall. Finally, she nodded and no longer dwelled on this matter. After giving a few more instructions to Qian Jiao and Qian Mei, she left,
Luo Xiuran and Yu Junjin had just returned to the Prince Regent’s Residence.
The little bun had fallen asleep in the carriage earlier. He walked into the courtyard in a daze when he suddenly saw Yu Yunxi. He rubbed his eyes to make sure he was not hallucinating. Then, his face lit up with joy and he ran over to Yu Yunxi, completely forgetting that he was not in the King of Xinan’s
Residence.
“Mother!”
