Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Yu Yunxi held the flexible sword in her hand as blood flowed down her arm. Her injuries were not light.
Consort Qin smiled contemptuously as she looked at Yu Yunxi.
“Die.
Consort Qin flew over, prepared to deal the fatal blow. However, at this moment, a sharp arrow flew straight at her. Her expression changed, and she quickly dodged it as she shouted angrily, “Who is it?”
A group of people soon appeared. The person in the lead was tall, and his gaze was cold.
Although Yu Yunxi did not know the other party, for some strange reason, she found him familiar.
“Who are you? How dare you ruin my plan!” Consort Qin said angrily.
“Feng Sheng,” the other party replied indifferently.
‘Feng Sheng?’ Yu Yunxi frowned. In just a moment, she remembered the other party.
Consort Qin seemed to recognize the name as well. She said, surprised, “You’re
Princess Chunyang’s son! You’re still alive!”
‘If he’s really Feng Sheng, then he’s Princess Chunyang’s only son and also Godfather’s godson!’
Yu Yunxi looked at Feng Sheng with a hint of joy in her eyes.
On the contrary, Consort Qin said gloomily, “No matter who you are, you’ll die if you interfere in this matter today!”
With that, the men in black began to attack Feng Sheng.
However, the men Feng Sheng brought with him were not to be underestimated.
With this, the two sides began to fight.
Yu Yunxi was very anxious and wanted to help. However, as soon as she moved, she felt dizzy.
‘What’s going on? Why did this feeling appear again?’
Yu Yunxi gritted her teeth, forcing herself to stay awake.
Soon after, Consort Qin and the others fell into a disadvantageous position. Seeing that she was no match for Feng Sheng, she wanted to escape.
However, Feng Sheng appeared next to Consort Qin in just a blink of an eye and quickly stabbed her with his sword. He asked coldly, “Do you think I’d let you leave alive?”
Consort Qin fell to the ground with her eyes wide open.
When Yu Yunxi saw Feng Sheng walking toward her, Yu Yunxi said, “Thank you for…
Before Yu Yunxi finished thanking Feng Sheng for saving her, she suddenly fainted.
Feng Sheng rushed over and carried Yu Yunxi. His gaze was dark as he muttered, “I’m still too late in the end..”
One of Feng Sheng’s subordinates asked worriedly, “Master, what should we do now?”
Feng Sheng sighed. “It seems like we won’t be able to save her life…”
“Qian Jiao! Qian Qing! Wake up! Where’s the Princess Consort?” Jiang Chuan called out anxiously.
The two women opened their eyes with great difficulty. As soon as they regained consciousness, they began to ask about Yu Yunxi.
“Princess Consort! That’s right! Where is she?”
“You don’t know where she went?”
Feng Yili walked over. He felt extremely uneasy when he saw the corpses on the ground.
Qian Jiao said anxiously, “Our horse went crazy and dragged our carriage here. At that time, we met Consort Qin and her men here. We fought with them with all our might, but we were no match for them. At some point, we were knocked unconscious…”
Jiang Ying searched the place and soon found Consort Qin’s corpse.
“Your Royal Highness, I found Consort Qin’s corpse.”
“Continue to search! Even if you have to dig the mountain up, you have to find her!” Feng Yili said gravely.
“Yes, Your Royal Highness!”
Feng Yili felt extremely uneasy as he watched his men search the place. He had already lost her once; he could not lose her again.
In the capital.
Some people had a good night’s sleep while some people could not sleep.
There was a huge commotion among the people when morning arrived.
“Have you heard? Last night, the Prince Regent had a conflict with the Imperial
Preceptor, and he killed the Imperial Preceptor!”
“No, that’s not the real Imperial Preceptor. It’s said that it was a thief impersonating the Imperial Preceptor.”
“But the Imperial Preceptor is missing. What’s going on?”
“It doesn’t matter. As long as the person who died is not the Imperial Preceptor, everything will be fine. Anyway, there was another major incident that happened last night. Did you hear about it?”
“As it turns out, Consort Qin, who’s known for being a devout Buddhist and a vegetarian, was an assassin. She tried to kill the Princess Regent last night. She’s dead now, but the Princess Regent is still missing.”
“So something happened to the Princess Regent? No wonder! When I passed by the Prince Regent’s Residence today, I felt that the atmosphere was not right. Many guards were leaving the residence in a hurry. They searched the city before they left the city…”
Someone sighed. “The Princess Regent is such a good person. How could something like this happen to her?”
“She’s just missing. Perhaps she’s still…”
“It seems like she’s met with a disaster. I heard that the carriage she was traveling in was found below a cliff. Most importantly, they found a female corpse as well. It was a bloody mess. The clothes and jewelry she wore were the same as those of the Princess Regent.”
“Heavens! Doesn’t this mean that the corpse… belongs to the Princess Regent? I heard that she and the Prince Regent had a very good relationship. If something happened to her, what would the Prince Regent and the five-year-old little prince do?”
The commoners could not help but feel sorry when they discussed this matter.
The Prince Regent’s Residence.
In a hall where a female corpse was placed.
Qian Jiao wiped her tears while Qian Qing and Qian Mei’s eyes were red.
Jiang Ying’s face was also filled with sorrow. After a long time, he stepped forward and said, “Your Royal Highness, we searched the entire capital and the mountain. We didn’t the Princess Consort. We only found…”
‘This female corpse…’
Jiang Ying could not give voice to these words.
At this moment, Luo Xiuran rushed in from outside, asking anxiously, “Yili, what happened? I heard that…”
Luo Xiuran stopped speaking abruptly when he saw the scene in front of him.
“Yili, don’t tell me this is… this is…”
“No, it’s not her. It can’t be her. She’s fine, she’s definitely fine,” Feng Yili said hoarsely. He looked disheveled at this moment. He kept denying that the person in front of him was Yu Yunxi.
“That’s right. This can’t be the Princess Consort,” Qian Qing said, choking on her words. As she spoke, she turned around and wiped her tears away. She did not know how to convince herself when the corpse was dressed exactly like Yu
Yunxi.
“I remember that the Princess Consort’s arms were injured when we jumped off the carriage,” Qian Jiao muttered with a desolate expression on her face.
Luo Xiuran and the others looked at the corpse hesitantly. The corpse’s arms were injured as well.
At this moment, the little bun rushed over. He asked in a panic, “Father, what happened?”
Everyone’s expression changed drastically when they saw the little bun.
“Hurry up and bring the little prince away!” Feng Yili ordered sternly.
Jiang Ying rushed over, wanting to carry the little bun away. However, the little bun dodged and ran over to the female corpse.
“Father, I heard people saying that something happened to Mother. Is it true?”
“Junjin…”
Feng Yili wanted to explain, but the little bun was already examining the female corpse.
“There’s a scar on Mother’s wrist. I was climbing a tree once, and when I fell, Mother got injured trying to save me. If there’s no scar on the wrist, then this can’t be Mother,” the little bun muttered to himself.
When the little bun lifted the corpse’s hand, revealing the wrist, everyone’s heart sank. There was a scar on the wrist.
The little bun was very flustered. Tears began to roll down his face uncontrollably. After a moment, he forced himself to calm down. He shook his head and said through gritted teeth, “No, no, this must be a coincidence. It can’t be true…”
Then, the little bun began to comfort himself again, muttering, “Mother has a mole behind her ear. It’s not Mother. It can’t be…”
Alas, when the little bun pushed the corpse’s hair back, revealing the back of the ear, everyone stumbled back.
Qian Jiao and Qian Qing covered their mouths, trying to stifle their cries.
The little bun could no longer hold on. He hugged the female corpse as he cried pitifully.
“Mother, I always listen to you. Why did you abandon me? Mother, wake up!
I’m here! Mother, I’m talking to you. Can you respond to me?”
At this time, Feng Yili walked over and pulled the little bun up, saying, “Junjin, she’s not your mother. Your mother is fine!”
“Father, she, she is…” the little bun said. In the end, he could not bring himself to finish his sentence.
“If I say she’s not your mother, then she’s not,” Feng Yili said sternly. Only he knew that his heart was trembling at this moment. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath before he ordered, “Men, bury this body and continue to search for the Princess Consort!”
It was as though as long as he did not admit that she was dead, she was not dead.
“No one’s allowed to touch Mother!”
Tears streamed down the little bun’s face as he blocked the others.
“Junjin…”
Feng Yili wanted to comfort the little bun, but the little bun shook his hand away. He cried, feeling excruciating pain, “Father, I hate you! You said you’d protect me and Mother. Look at what happened to Mother! I hate you! Return my mother to me!”
Everyone lowered their heads and wiped the tears from their eyes.
Feng Yili clenched his hands tightly, revealing the veins on the back of his hands. No one knew how much pain he was in at this moment. He reached out to hug the little bun, but the little bun, who was in a state of anger and grief, kept pushing him away.
Feng Yili did not care at all. When he finally managed to hug the little bun, he whispered into the little bun’s ear, “Father will definitely find your mother..”
