Chapter 80: Princess Regent, I Lost
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The entire place fell strangely silent after Feng Yijin finished speaking.
‘As it turns out, after bestowing marriage to the Crown Prince, the Emperor also did not intend to let the Prince Regent go!’
If one were to say that bestowing marriage to the Eldest Miss of the Chen family and the Crown Prince was to help the Crown Prince win the power of the Che family, then bestowing the marriage to the Prince Regent was just to humiliate the Prince Regent.
Not only did the Princess Regent come from the Yu family, but the side consort also was also from the Yu family. Not only that, but the relationship between the two women was clearly very bad. However, the most important thing was that the Yu family was no different from an empty shell if it was not for Yu Yongnian.
Yu Wanrong panicked. Previously, it was all an act when she got close to Feng Yili. The person in her heart was the Crown Prince all along. She did not want to marry Feng Yili.
Yu Yunxi frowned. She did not expect that even after five years, the b*stard Emperor was still so afraid of Feng Yili. The Emperor was like a rabid dog, constantly looking for a chance to bite Feng Yili.
Looking like a kind and loving brother, Feng Yijin asked with a smile, “Ninth
Brother, are you satisfied with this marriage?”
Those who knew the Emperor naturally knew that he was as vicious as a scorpion despite his appearance.
In order to cut off Feng Yili’s escape route, Feng Yijin continued to say, “Don’t say that you don’t want a side consort to refuse me.”
At this time, Feng Yili held a teacup in his hand. When he looked down to set the teacup on the table, his expression was extremely cold. However, when he raised his head again, his expression had already returned to normal. He said calmly, “Imperial Brother, I have no objection to marrying a side consort…”
Everyone’s expression changed when they heard these words. Did this mean he agreed to marry Yu Wanrong?
Feng Yijin was shocked as well.
‘Why is Ninth Imperial Brother so agreeable today”
Yu Yunxi stood rooted to the ground, frowning slightly. Her emotions were a little complicated.
‘Is it possible that he has some feelings for Yu Wanrong? Was he only acting when he treated Yu Wanrong coldly in recent days?’
While everyone speculated inwardly, Feng Yili rose to his feet and casually took a sword from the imperial guard.
Upon seeing this, Feng Yijin’s breathing quickened, and he asked, “Ninth
Brother, what do you mean by this?”
Feng Yili had no intention of explaining himself. His eyes glinted coldly as he walked toward Yu Wanrong. He said condescendingly, “There’s one requirement for a woman to marry into the Prince Regent’s Residence… She must be able to defeat me.”
Yu Wanrong felt chills running up her spine when she saw Feng Yili’s cold and piercing gaze. She opened her mouth, but before she could speak, Feng Yili already held the sword against her neck.
Everyone gasped.
‘As expected of the Prince Regent, he always surprises people…’
With his back facing Feng Yijin, Feng Yili said, “Imperial Brother, it seems like Second Miss Yu can’t beat me.”
Feng Yijin’s expression darkened, and he could not conceal the malice in his eyes at all. He said, “Ninth Brother, according to your words, does this mean you don’t acknowledge the County Princess of Xinan as your Princess Regent? I don’t think she’s able to defeat you after all.”
The Emperor really wanted to sever the relationship between Yu Yunxi and
Feng Yili. After all, Yu Yunxi had the support of the King of Xinan’s Residence. Although he was the one who personally bestowed this marriage five years ago, he really wanted to destroy it now.
Meanwhile, Feng Yili was not in a hurry to respond to Feng Yijin. He slowly turned around and looked at Yu Yunxi with his dark eyes.
Yu Yunxi felt uncomfortable under his gaze and awkwardly looked away.
‘What is he trying to do?’
Feng Yili suddenly threw the sword aside and strode toward her. When he was in front of her, his hand went straight for her vital points.
Yu Yunxi’s eyes flashed coldly. She had undergone strict training so her body reacted faster than her brain. As soon as Feng Yili made a move, she made a
move as well.
Upon seeing this, an imperceptible smile appeared on Feng Yili’s face. He suddenly moved his hand to the side and tilted his body slightly.
Before anyone could see how it happened, Yu Yunxi’s hand was already pressed against his neck.
At this time, Feng Yili’s gaze was no longer cold, and his handsome face seemed bright. His gaze was tender as he looked at her and said in a hoarse voice, “Princess Regent, I lost.”
Everyone referred to Yu Yunxi as the County Princess of Xinan, but Feng Yili persistently referred to her as Princess Regent.
Yu Yunxi was stunned, and her heart skipped a beat.
At the same time, realization also dawned on everyone. Feng Yili’s tactic was just to once again acknowledge Yu Yunxi as his Princess Regent in front of everyone.
The expression of Feng Yijin, who was sitting on the dragon throne, was unsurprisingly bad. He still did not want to give up. He said, “Ninth Brother..
Feng Yili raised his hand and looked over coldly before he said, “Emperor, there are still many soldiers in the military camp waiting for me to train them. It’s enough that the Prince Regent’s Residence has a female master. I have no intention nor the energy to marry other women.”
The latter part of the words was not important. What was important was the first half of Feng Yili’s words.
Feng Yijin gnashed his teeth so hard that they were about to break. In the end, he could only force a smile on his face and said, “Ninth Brother, you have such a good relationship with your wife. I was just joking. It’s fine if you don’t marry a side consort.”
Feng Yijin really wished he could kill Feng Yili on the spot. However, when he recalled the military power in Feng Yili’s hands, he could only suppress his killing intent.
Feng Yijin really did not know what the late Emperor was thinking. The late emperor gave Feng Yili so much military power that he was restrained by Feng Yili from the time he was a Crown Prince until now!
Five years ago, Feng Yijin thought he had successfully killed Feng Yili. Unexpectedly, he was still alive after entering the imperial mausoleum. From then on, Feng Yili became even more difficult to deal with.
At this time, the other officials lowered their heads, not daring to make a sound. In tact, this scene was quite common. When the Emperor tailed to deal with the Prince Regent, they knew it was best to keep quiet. Otherwise, they might provoke the Emperor.
With nowhere to vent his anger, Feng Yijin’s attitude was very unfriendly as he said to Yu Wanrong, “Second Miss Yu, why are you still standing there? Do you still want to perform?”
Yu Wanrong’s face turned pale. She quickly picked up the veil on the ground and ran back to her seat.
The banquet continued after that.
However, everyone was lost in their own thoughts and was not in the mood to enjoy the singing and dancing. It was not easy for them to hold on until the end of the banquet. It did not take long before they found an excuse to leave one after another.
Just when everyone was taking their leave, Lin De stood in front of Yu Yunxi and blocked her path. He said, “County Princess, please wait. The Emperor wants to see you..”
