Feng Yili’s smile widened under his mask as he looked at all those people who were defeated and had nowhere to vent their anger. As expected of his princess consort. She left her enemy with no way out.
It seemed as though Yu Yunxi was criticizing and blaming herself, but in fact, she was criticizing and blaming the Emperor and the others. She had reminded everyone earlier, but no one listened.
Consort Mu forced herself to calm down and prepared to reprimand Yu Yunxi. However, before she could do so, Yu Yunxi spoke again.
Yu Yunxi pretended to say reproachfully, “Why are you insensible? That’s why Seventh Imperial Cousin. No matter how weak he is, you can’t injure him like this. Do you want to be captured and skinned by the Emperor?”
Sky Saber sensibly shrank its neck and trembled, looking very scared.
“Don’t worry. The Emperor isn’t an unreasonable person. Earlier, he agreed to let the Seventh Prince try to tame you. This means that he was prepared for you or the Seventh Prince to lose. He definitely won’t blame you now…”
No one knew for sure if the Snow Wolf King understood Yu Yunxi’s words, but they knew very well that her words were meant for the Emperor. With her words, the Emperor could not lose his temper. Otherwise, he would seem petty. Chu Zai clenched his hands tightly as his entire being radiated a murderous aura.
‘Does she think she can use this trick to stop me from punishing her?
Impossible! I have to teach her a lesson today! I’ll have to show her who Xichu belongs to!’
At this moment, the eunuch, Li Xu, and Can Ban arrived. They bowed at Chu Zai in unison and greeted him.
“Greetings, Your Majesty.”
“Eunuch Li, you’re here. Then Imperial Father…”
Chu Zai narrowed his eyes. He knew that Li Xu was his father’s most trusted aide. He wondered why his father sent Li Xu here.
“Your Majesty, before the Eldest Princess came to the imperial hunting ground, she sent a message to the Emperor Emeritus. She said that she would hunt prey and present it to the Emperor Emeritus. The Emperor Emeritus has been a little bored since he returned to the capital so he wanted to see the prey that the Eldest Princess captured. Look, the autumn hunt hasn’t even ended yet, but he already sent me here to have a look at the prey that the Eldest Princess caught,’ Li Xu explained with a smile.
Chu Zai looked as though he wanted to kill someone at this moment. He glanced at Yu Yunxi before he said through gritted teeth, “Yunxi is really good at pleasing Imperial Father. Even before she came to the imperial hunting ground, she already told Imperial Father she would send him something.” Perhaps if other people were in Yu Yunxi’s shoes, they would be ashamed or fearful. After all, Chu Zai was mocking her for being useless and currying favor with the Emperor Emeritus. However, her smile only widened when she heard these words. She said in a neither servile nor arrogant manner, “Grandfather dotes on me and takes good care of me. It’s only natural that I always have Grandfather on my mind.”
As Yu Yunxi spoke, she reached out to stroke Sky Saber’s head.
Li Xu’s eyes lit up immediately. “Eldest Princess, is this for the Emperor Emeritus?”
‘What a beautiful white wolf! When the Emperor Emeritus was young, he liked to hunt fierce prey and raise them in the palace… After retiring, he restrained himself a lot. I’m sure he’ll be extremely happy when he sees the white wolf!’ Yu Yunxi only raised an eyebrow. She did not respond to Li Xu’s question.
Meanwhile, words could not describe Chu Zai’s anger at this moment. ‘This Yu Yunxi is really great! She always involves Imperial Father…’
Chu Zai could only suppress his anger. After all, his father still held a lot of military power. His eyes shone with resentment. Yu Yunxi’s repealed provocations reminded him of something: there could not be two Emperors in Xichu. Otherwise, he would never be a true Emperor.
‘Imperial Father, you should have died back then…’
Finally, Chu Zai said through gritted teeth, “Alright, if that’s what you want, you can present the Snow Wolf King to the Emperor Emeritus.”
“Your Majesty!” Consort Mu exclaimed anxiously.
‘Is His Majesty not going to seek justice for Yuemu?’
At this time, Consort Hong approached Consort Mu and said softly, “Sister, Yunxi wants to present the Snow Wolf King to the Emperor Emeritus. We should support her filial piety. Don’t you think so?”
Consort Mu was so angry that she lost her composure and shouted, “It’s easy for you to speak for Yu Yunxi since it’s not your son who’s injured!”
Consort Hong was shocked. She stumbled back, and her eyes were filled with tears as she launched into a coughing fit.
Upon seeing this, Chu Zai seemed to have forgotten everything but Consort
Hong. He asked worriedly, “My beloved consort, are you okay?”
Then, Chu Zai said reproachfully, “Imperial doctors, hurry up and take a look at Consort Hong!”
The imperial doctors hurried over in fear.
Meanwhile, the Empress Dowager’s gaze was dark as she watched this scene.
‘This despicable thing is pretending to be weak in front of the Emperor again!
And as usual, the Emperor fell for her tricks!’
At the same time, Empress Qin suppressed the jealousy in her heart before she walked over and pretended to say gently, “Your Majesty, everyone was frightened today. Why don’t we end the autumn hunt?”
Chu Zai frowned. Indeed, he would lose his prestige as the Emperor if the autumn hunt continued. Hence, he scoffed and said icily, “We’ll do as the Empress said. Let’s return to the palace.”
“Yes, Your Majesty. But, Yuemu…” Empress Qin said. She looked at Consort Mu and smiled faintly before she continued to say, “Sister Mu, the Seventh Prince seems to be seriously injured. You should hurry up and bring him back to the palace for treatment. Otherwise, it’ll be bad if there’s some lasting damage.”
Consort Mu’s heart was in turmoil as soon as she heard these words. No matter how much anger and hatred she had toward Yu Yunxi at this moment, she had forgotten all about them. No matter what, her son was the most important. He was her life.
Consort Mu berated her palace servants, “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and send the Seventh Prince back! If anything happens to him, I’ll have your heads!”
The palace servants were scared out of their wits, and their faces paled. They hurried over and carried Chu Yuemu away.
Before leaving, Consort Mu glared at Yu Yunxi venomously.
‘This b*tch! I’ll remember this!’
Now that everything had been settled, Li Xu approached Yu Yunxi. He rubbed his hands together and said with a smile, “Eldest Princess, if you present the Emperor Emeritus with this white wolf, he’ll definitely be very happy. He..
Yu Yunxi did not wait for Li Xu to finish speaking. She interjected expressionlessly, “Eunuch Li Xu, why do you assume that I’m going to present this white wolf to Imperial Grandfather?”
‘Huh? What does the Eldest Princess mean by this?’
Li Xu and Can Ban were both puzzled.
Soon after, Yu Yunxi brought a rabbit out from somewhere and handed it to Li Xu. At the same time, she said with a straight face, “Here. This is the prey I want to present to Grandfather. If Grandfather doesn’t like it, you can add some oil, salt, and star anise when you cook it. It’ll definitely be delicious.”
