Chapter 233: Summoned into the Palace

While Yu Yunxi and Xu Zhiyan made their way to the hall, she could not help but ask, “May I know the purpose of your visit today?”

Previously, Xinan had left Xinan in advance and returned to the capital to report the situation. After that, they had not seen each other until now.

Thinking about the purpose of Xu Zhiyan’s visit, Yu Yunxi frowned and asked seriously, “Could it be that the Emperor and those officials are making things difficult for you because of what happened in Xinan?”

“No, don’t worry. Although I was forced to go to Xinan by my colleagues, in the end, I unexpectedly benefited from it. I was not only rewarded but promoted as well. Your victory this time has greatly pleased His Majesty,” Xu Zhiyan said with a sigh.

Xu Zhiyan had joined the imperial court as an official. Within half a year, he was actually promoted twice in a row, and both times were because of Yu Yunxi and Feng Yili.

Xu Zhiyan continued to say, “Although those who are jealous targeted me in court, fortunately, the Prince Regent had spoken up for me several times and helped me.”

Yu Yunxi nodded. Previously, Feng Yili had told her that Xu Zhiyan was capable and good. Xu Zhiyan was the kind of official who cared about the country and the people. As such, Feng Yili decided to help Xu Zhiyan in court.

Xu Zhiyan suddenly patted his head and said, “That’s right. I almost forgot why

I came here.”

Xu Zhiyan surveyed the surroundings surreptitiously before he lowered his voice and asked solemnly, “Yunxi, is the identity of that Young Master Liu extraordinary?”

Yu Yunxi’s eyelids twitched when she heard this. “What do you mean?”

“Because of the Eighth Princess, the Empress Dowager likes to summon me to her palace to chat,” Xu Zhiyan said, looking a little helpless. He took a deep breath and continued to say, “Although the Empress Dowager lives in seclusion, she knows everything. Today, when I was at her palace, I accidentally overheard her maidservant’s report. The maidservant said that the Emperor received news that Young Master Liu is likely a prince of Nanyue..

‘What?! How did the Emperor find out about this? Who told him?’

Yu Yunxi’s expression changed slightly when she heard this.

Liu Xiaolan and the others had hidden this matter for so many years that even the Emperor of Nanyue was unaware of this matter.

Seeing the expression on Yu Yunxi’s face, the astute Xu Zhiyan naturally knew that this matter was not false. He sighed lightly and said, “If this is true, then it’ll be a little troublesome. You and the Prince Regent are now being watched by everyone in the capital because of Nanyue’s matters. It can be said that you’re in the middle of the storm. With a prince of Nanyue by your side, many people will definitely have doubts about the battle between Xinan and Nanyue. Needless to say, the Emperor will question the Prince Regent’s loyalty even more.”

Yu Yunxi remained silent, but she agreed with Xu Zhiyan completely. This matter was indeed very worrying.

After a moment, she shook her head and said in a complicated tone, “Feng Yili and I are indeed in a difficult position, but we can deal with it. However, the same can’t be said for Liu Xiaolan.”

Once the secret that Wuya Zi and Liu Xiaolan had hidden for so many years was exposed, it would not take long for Nanyue to hear about it. At that time, Liu Xiaolan would be in trouble. Their hard work over the years would also be in vain.

“How did this secret leak out?” Yu Yunxi frowned. Based on what she knew, only a few of them were aware of this matter. So how did the Emperor find out?

“I don’t know either. I only came today to remind you to be careful,” Xu Zhiyan said seriously.

“Alright, thank you for your reminder,” Yu Yunxi said seriously.

However, Xu Zhiyan’s expression did not ease and remained solemn. He continued to say, “Apart from that, there’s also another matter. I came to convey the Empress Dowager’s message.”

“The Empress Dowager?”

“Mm, that’s right. Now that Junjin’s identity has been exposed, many people are watching him. After all, the matter of the Prince Regent having a son is a huge matter,” Xu Zhiyan said.

Yu Yunxi frowned. She also knew this was a huge matter.

Previously, after this matter was exposed, some people from the imperial palace could no longer sit still. They even sent eunuchs to summon Yu Junjin into the palace. However, Feng Yili thought of an excuse and rejected the invitation several times.

‘Could it be that Empress Dowager intends to…’

“The Emperor Dowager wants Junjin to visit her. According to her, she wants to take a good look at the little heir of the Prince Regent’s Residence.. Moreover, Consort Dowager Ning has been going to the palace over the past few days, begging the Empress Dowager to help her ease the relationship between you and her..
