Yu Yunxi coughed before she said softly, “My head is fine. You should return first, lest the Emperor and the others plot against us again.”
If Meng Xia knew that there was a man in the room and that the man was the King of Youshan who liked to drink human blood, she would have been frightened to death.
Meng Xia thought that Yu Yunxi had a point so she hurriedly nodded and said, “Alright. I’ll take my leave first, Eldest Princess. Your safety is the most important. You have to be careful.”
With that, Meng Xia turned around and left.
After that, Yu Yunxi turned to look at the screen and asked, “How long are you going to hide behind the screen? My maidservant has already left. You can come out now.”
Feng Yili stood behind the screen in a daze. At the same time, he felt extremely anxious.
‘Did that maid say that Yunxi has lost her memory?’
Feng Yili walked out from behind the screen and stared at Yu Yunxi with his dark eyes. No one knew how uneasy he felt at this moment.
Just as Feng Yili was about to speak, a figure jumped in through the window.
“Yunxi, it’s great that you’re alive!” Luo Xiuran said excitedly. At this time, he had already removed his human skin mask.
Luo Xiuran ran over, intending to give Yu Yunxi a hug. However, before he could even touch her clothes, she quickly kicked him in the stomach. She stared at him suspiciously, wondering if he was one of the Emperor’s men as she asked sternly, “Who are you?”
Luo Xiuran was stunned by Yu Yunxi’s reaction. He quickly got up and asked anxiously, “Yunxi, what’s wrong? Don’t you recognize me? I’m Luo Xiuran!” “Luo Xiuran? Who’s Luo Xiuran?” Yu Yunxi asked, frowning fiercely.
‘What… What’s wrong with her?’
Luo Xiuran was worried and confused.
Meanwhile, Feng Yili’s heart sank.
‘It seems like she’s really forgotten me…’
“Yunxi, it’s fine if you don’t remember me, but do you remember Yi…”
Before Luo Xiuran could finish his words, Feng Yili hurried over and knocked Luo Xiuran out with just one strike.
“What do you mean by this, King of Youshan?” Yu Yunxi asked warily. She had to keep her guard up since she did not know what the other party wanted.
“The name Luo Xiuran sounds familiar. If I’m not mistaken, he should be the
Young Marquis from Tianxia. One of his good friends is Feng Yili, the Prince Regent of Tianxia,” Feng Yili replied. As he spoke, he stared at Yu Yunxi intently, hoping to find a trace of abnormality on her face.
‘Feng Yili? The Prince Regent of Tianxia?’
When Yu Yunxi heard the name Feng Yili, her heart felt inexplicably stifled. However, when she tried to recall the past, her head began to hurt again. Her expression was dark as she asked coldly, “Why are you telling me this? Could it be that you’re colluding with Tianxia, and you’re hoping I’d keep this a secret for you?”
‘She… she really doesn’t remember me…’
Yu Yunxi took Feng Yili’s silence as an acquiescence to her words, and her expression turned grim. She said, “King of Youshan, if you have the ability, then you can plot against the Emperor. I have no power and protection. You won’t be able to get anything from me.”
After saying that, Yu Yunxi sat down and closed her eyes. She was not afraid that the King of Youshan would do something to her now. After all, the ruler of a fief could not possibly be an idiot. If he killed her, a powerless princess, now, he would only stir up trouble for himself. There was no benefit to it.
Feng Yili pursed his lips and looked at Yu Yunxi. After a moment, he dragged Luo Xiuran with him and left through the window.
Not long after Feng Yili and Luo Xiuran left, Chu Zhihe’s palace maid entered. She said with a reluctant expression on her face, “Eldest Princess, these are the dancing clothes that the Sixth Princess gave you…”
Yu Yunxi opened her eyes. She stood up and slowly walked over to look at the dancing clothes. She touched the embroidery on the dress gently before she said lightly, “Alright, I understand. You can leave.”
Outside the side hall.
Chu Zhihe had already changed into her dancing clothes. She sat on the stone bench and crossed her arms with a mocking expression on her face.
At this time, the palace maid said, trying to take credit, “Sixth Princess, don’t worry. I brought her the ugliest dancing clothes I could find. People will definitely ridicule her later…”
“Mm, well done. When we return later, I’ll definitely reward you,” Chu Zhihe said, clearly in a good mood.
Yu Yunxi looked very eye-catching tonight in that colorful dress. Chu Zhihe had long noticed many of the noble young men in the hall staring at Yu Yunxi earlier.
‘Ha, what a shameless vixen! She’s only tarnishing the imperial family’s reputation. Since she likes to show off so much, I’ll give her the ugliest dress and see how she performs later…’
After a moment, the door to the side hall swung open.
Chu Zhihe, who was looking forward to watching a joke, saw the red figure coming out, and the smile on her face froze immediately.
Yu Yunxi’s dancing dress was as beautiful as the flames. However, if someone else were to wear it, they would have looked tacky. On the contrary, Yu Yunxi looked beautiful and eye-catching. She had even drawn a red dot between her eyebrows, making her look even more flamboyant and gorgeous.
“Trash!”
Chu Zhihe was so angry that her body trembled. She raised her hand and pinched the palace maid next to her as though she wanted to tear off a piece of flesh.
The palace maid was in so much pain that tears welled up in her eyes. However, she gritted her teeth and endured the pain, not daring to make a sound.
The palace maid felt as though she was going to die from the pain when another palace maid quickly said in a lowered voice, “P-princess, don’t be angry. We already tampered with that dancing dress. She’ll still make a fool out of herself when the time comes…
After listening to these words, Chu Zhihe quickly regained her composure, and her anger also lessened. She slowly stood up and walked over to Yu Yunxi as she said, “Cousin, now that you’re done, let’s go.”
Chu Zhihe forced herself to pretend to be intimate as she held Yu Yunxi’s hand.
Yu Yunxi’s eyes glinted coldly when Chu Zhihe held her hand. At the same time, she resisted the urge to shake off Chu Zhihe’s hand. She wanted to see what Chu Zhihe was going to do next.
When Yu Yunxi returned to the banquet hall, many people were stunned by her attire.
Feng Yili looked at her, and his lips were tightly pursed. He felt as though his heart had been stabbed a few times.
‘No wonder you didn’t look for me and Junjin… As it turns out, we no longer exist in your memory…’
At this time, Empress Qin said with a fake smile on her face, “Now that Yunxi and Zhihe are here, let’s enjoy their dance.”
In Empress Qin’s opinion, it did not matter which of the two made a fool out of themselves. No matter who it was, it would only be beneficial to her.
Chu Zhihe forced a smile on her face and asked, pretending to be caring, “Cousin, what song do you want to dance to?”
