‘Second Junior Brother?!’
Yu Yunxi and Qian Qing’s expressions turned extremely strange.
Liu Xiaolan took the initiative to walk up to Yu Yunxi and said with a smile,
“I’m Liu Xiaolan. Most people think I’m Yili’s Second Junior Sister, but I’m actually his Second Junior Brother.”
Yu Yunxi looked at the tall figure in front of her. At this moment, she discovered that the other party’s face was truly androgynous. When he spoke in a delicate voice, he possessed the shyness of a woman, but when he spoke roughly, he possessed the strong aura of a man.
Luo Xiuran, who finally had a chance to speak, quickly said everything in one breath, “Due to some special reasons, Liu Xiaolan has been pretending to be a woman. Apart from his master and a few people, no one knows he’s a man.”
Qian Qing frowned slightly upon hearing this. She said in a low voice, “County
Princess, if this ‘Second Junior Brother’ is a man, then that child…”
Qian Qing wanted to say that Feng Zixiu might not be Feng Yili’s child.
However, at this moment, Luo Xiuran said unknowingly, “He’s known as Yili’s Second Junior Sister. Yili still has a Little Junior Sister.”
Qian Qing: .
‘So this means that Feng Yili and his Little Junior Sister have a relationship, right?’
Luo Xiuran realized that he had said something wrong.
Just as he was about to explain again, Yu Yunxi said coldly, “The King of Xinan’s Residence is small, and it can’t accommodate all of you. Please leave.” After saying this, Yu Yunxi turned to leave.
Feng Yili removed his human skin mask and strode toward her, grabbing her wrist.
“Listen to my explanation first.”
“Explanation? What does the Prince Regent want to explain? About your son? Or about you stopping me from leaving the capital? Or about you giving my mother’s warm jade away? Oh, right, there’s also you intercepting Xinan’s ration,” Yu Yunxi asked expressionlessly.
Feng Yili thought that she would be very angry when faced with him. Unexpectedly, he could not evoke any feelings from her at all. His heart sank immediately.
Luo Xiuran, who was standing behind, rubbed the back of his neck and said awkwardly, “Not to mention Yunxi, even I find it hard to forgive you for what you’ve done…”
“Yunxi, I…” Feng Yili still wanted to explain so he tightened his grip on Yu Yunxi’s wrist.
However, at this time, Qian Ji rushed over and reported, “County Princess,
Nanyue has launched a sneak attack. General Han and a hundred men are now trapped in Lucky Moon Valley!”
“What?”
Yu Yunxi’s expression changed drastically.
“During the day, the smoke outside the city gate did not stop at all. When it stopped in the middle of the night, my good friend in the military camp thought that Nanyue had left temporarily. Unexpectedly, Nanyue did not leave
dL ctn…
“Qian Qing, see the guests off. Qian Ji, summon all the secret guards. We’ll go to the military camp first, ” Yu Yunxi said, shaking off Feng Yili’s hand.
Only then did Qian Ji notice Feng Yili and the others. His expression darkened immediately.
‘How did these people infiltrate Xinan? They actually dare to disturb the County Princess again!’
However, now was not the time to care about this matter. Qian Ji gritted his teeth and hurried after Yu Yunxi.
“I want to see the King of Xinan,” Feng Yili said in a low voice.
“I’m sorry. Although you’re the Prince Regent, this is Xinan. His Highness is not someone you can meet just because you want to,” Qian Qing said. Then, she called for the guards.
In the next moment, countless guards appeared.
Qian Qing used to think that Feng Yili was an indomitable hero. However, ever since she heard about what he had done to Yu Yunxi, she wished she could kill him on behalf of Yu Yunxi.
“You can’t stop me. Even if all the guards of the residence come, they still won’t be able to stop me,” Feng Yili said coldly.
Qian Qing clenched her hands in anger. She knew he was telling the truth, but she could allow him to humiliate the King of Xinan’s Residence like that. She drew her sword from her waist, preparing to attack.
Luo Xiuran’s expression turned solemn immediately, and he also prepared to stop her.
Suddenly…
“Qian Qing, stand down.”
A dignified voice rang from the entrance at this moment.
“Your Highness?”
Qian Qing turned around and saw Shen Si.
“Your Highness, they…”
Qian Qing wanted to tell Shen Si about the things Feng Yili had done to Yu
Yunxi.
Shen Si shook his head and said solemnly, “Leave this matter to me. Yunxi has already gone to the military camp. Nanyue is sinister and cunning. I don’t know what method they’ll use this time. Go and help her.”
‘However, County Princess told me to…’
Qian Qing gritted her teeth and finally left, listening to Shen Si’s order.
“Yes, Your Highness.”
Now that Qian Qing left, Luo Xiuran naturally had no more reason to stay. He said to Shen Si politely, “King of Xinan, I’ll take my leave first.”
Without waiting for Shen Si’s response, Luo Xiuran chased after Qian Qing.
Liu Xiaolan raised an eyebrow before he also followed Luo Xiuran.
Subsequently, Shen Si asked the quards to leave.
When only Shen Si and Feng Yili were the only ones left, Shen Si looked at the latter and said expressionlessly, “Prince Regent, why did you come to Xinan when you should be in the capital assisting the Emperor? Does the Emperor have any order for Xinan?”
“His Majesty didn’t send me here,” Feng Yili said calmly.
“If it’s not because of the Emperor, then why is the Prince Regent here? Could it be that you feel you’ve not hurt my goddaughter enough so you want to continue hurting her?” Shen Si said as his voice grew increasingly cold, and his eyes flashed with killing intent.
Although Shen Si was old, he was not senile. He was aware of what happened in the capital. All these years, he truly cared about Yu Yunxi and Yu Junjin. Feng Yili’s actions naturally displeased him greatly. If it were not for the fact that Xinan was at war with Nanyue and he did not have the time to deal with other matters, even if he had to sacrifice half of his life, he would make Feng Yili suffer.
Seeing how furious Shen Si was, Feng Yili lowered his head and said humbly, “I know I’ve done many things to let Yunxi down so I came to make up for it…
“Make up for it? Do you think it’s so easy to make up for the damages you caused? Leave. Our King of Xinan’s Residence can take care of Yunxi. You don’t have to worry about it, Prince Regent,” Shen Si said, seething in anger. He already hated the Feng family to the core, to begin with. Now, he hated Feng Yili even more. He was not willing to say even one polite word to Feng Yili.
At this moment, Feng Yili raised his head and said unhurriedly, “I know the real reason you accepted Yunxi as your goddaughter.”
Shen Si’s eyes widened in shock and disbelief upon hearing this.
“You…”
“I know the secret of Yunxi’s background, and I’m willing to help you hide it. My only request is that you listen to my explanation,” Feng Yili said, lowering his head again. His voice was very sincere.
Shen Si clenched his hands tightly, and his expression was extremely complicated. He did not expect Feng Yili to know about that. After a long silence, he finally compromised. He let out a long sigh and said tiredly, “Come with me to the study..”
