“Why does Eunuch Li seem to be dissatisfied with my gift of the rabbit?” Yu Yunxi asked nonchalantly as she looked at Li Xu, emanating a sort of pressure.
Li Xu’s smile froze. He felt as though he was facing the Emperor Emeritus at this moment. He quickly said, “Eldest Princess, you’ve misunderstood. I didn’t mean that at all…”
“That’s good. Then take the rabbit,” Yu Yunxi said, stuffing the rabbit into Li
Xu’s hand.
Li Xu felt like crying. With the Emperor Emeritus’ temperament, he really could not imagine the Emperor Emeritus raising a rabbit. The more he thought about it, the more strange it became.
Feng Yili, who was standing at the back, could not help but smile.
‘As expected, she has no intention of giving Sky Saber away.’
Earlier, Yu Yunxi was very ambiguous with her words. As such, everyone assumed she was going to offer Sky Saber to the Emperor Emeritus. With this, even the Emperor could not ask for Sky Saber.
Yu Yunxi rubbed Sky Saber’s head and said with a smile, “Sky Saber, let’s go home.”
The more Yu Yunxi looked at Sky Saber, the more she liked it.
Yu Yunxi had just taken a few steps when she suddenly remembered something and paused in her tracks. She looked around for a moment, and her expression turned grave immediately.
‘Strange. Why didn’t I see Qu Yu?’
Yu Yunxi quickly asked Feng Yili, “Did you see Qu Yu?”
“Qu Yu? I didn’t see her at all,” Feng Yili replied, shaking his head.
“But I told her to look for you for help,” Yu Yunxi said, sounding slightly anxious.
“I heard the commotion and rushed to your side, but I didn’t see Qu Yu,” Feng Yili said solemnly.
Yu Yunxi’s eyelids twitched. She wondered out loud, “Could it be that she’s in danger?”
Then, Yu Yunxi turned around and hurriedly said to Meng Xia, “Meng Xia, quickly go and find General Qu and see if he knows where Qu Yu has gone.”
However, before Meng Xia could react, Yu Yunxi said, “No. It’s better for me to go personally.”
When Yu Yunxi found Qu Jing; General Qu, almost all the ministers had left. His expression was grave as though something bad had happened.
Yu Yunxi quickly walked over and asked, “General Qu, have you seen Qu Yu?”
“Eldest Princess?”
Qi Jing was stunned when he saw Yu Yunxi. However, he quickly regained his composure and shook his head. He said solemnly, “Eldest Princess, I haven’t seen my daughter after she entered the hunting ground. I don’t know where she went. I was planning to enter the hunting ground to find her.”
Yu Yunxi’s expression became even more solemn when she heard this. She was worried that something really happened to Qu Yu in the hunting ground.
At this moment, a maidservant said, “General, I just passed by the people from Duke Qin’s Residence. I heard them say that Young Master Qin has yet to return as well.”
‘Young Master Oin? Oin Wencheng didn’t return as well?’
Qu Jing’s expression darkened when he heard this. He said, “If Yu is with him, she might be in trouble…”
Who knew if it was a coincidence or not, at this moment, a guard exclaimed in surprise, “General, isn’t that the young miss?!”
Everyone turned around and saw Qin Wencheng carrying Qu Yu back.
“Yu!” Qu Jing called out anxiously as he hurried over.
Qu Yu was unconscious in Qin Wencheng’s arms.
A young man dressed like a guard rushed over, reaching out to carry Qu Yu as he asked, “What did you do to our young miss?”
“Qu Zhengyi, although General Qu watched you grow up, you’re just a guard. Watch your tone.” Qin Wencheng said disdainfully.
Qi Zhengyi was furious, but he did not want to cause trouble for the general’s residence. Hence, he could only clench his hands and suppress his anger.
Qu Jing stared at Qin Wencheng coldly and asked, “He might have to watch his tone, but what about me?”
Qin Wencheng smiled and said, “General Qu, you’re an elder. You’re naturally different from others.
Qu Jing said to Qu Zhengyi, “Send the young miss back to the carriage.” “Yes, General,” Qu Zhengyi said and quickly carried Qu Yu away.
Qin Wencheng’s eyes flashed with anger when he saw his empty hands. However, when he looked up again, only a gentle expression could be seen on his face.
Qu Jing stared at Qin Wencheng with a piercing gaze, determined to obtain an answer. He asked, “Why is she unconscious?”
Qin Wencheng sighed and said, looking distressed, “I don’t know how Qu Yu got injured as well. When I was leaving the hunting ground, I found her unconscious. I brought her with me and got lost. I couldn’t find any imperial guards. General Qu, it’s my fault for making you worry.”
Qin Wencheng’s attitude was completely different from before. Previously, he was very arrogant when faced with the Qu family. He also did not bother to hide his disgust for Qu Yu. He felt that Qu Yu was not like a woman at all and was extremely rude to her. In his opinion, she was not worthy of him at all.
Before Qu Jing could figure out the reason behind Qin Wencheng’s change, Qin Wencheng said humbly and politely, “General Qu, you must be careful during the disaster relief trip to Kongzhou. Once you come back, I’ll be able to marry
Qu Yu in peace.”
‘Marry Qu Yu? Wasn’t he very resistant to the engagement in the past? Why does he suddenly want to marry Qu Yu?’
Everyone in the Qu family wore strange and skeptical expressions on their faces when they heard those words.
Qu Jing’s expression did not improve. He said coldly, “There’s no need for that. When I return from Kongzhou, I plan to call off Qu Yu’s engagement to you.” Qin Wencheng’s eyes flashed with anger when he heard these words.
‘This old thing really doesn’t know what’s good for him!’
Qin Wencheng naturally wanted to call off the engagement, but he could not allow the Qu family to take the initiative to call it off. He exhaled slightly before he continued to say humbly, “General Qu, your misunderstanding of me is a little deep. I believe that you’ll change your opinion of me in time. Don’t worry. Qu Yu is only unconscious. I still have something to attend to so I’ll take my leave first.”
After saying that, Qin Wencheng nodded at Yu Yunxi before he turned around and left.
Qu Jing looked at Qin Wencheng’s back in anger. After a long time, he said through gritted teeth, “That brat! Does he think he can change my opinion with just a few words? I still remember how he bullied Yu previously.”
After saying that, Qu Jing finally remembered that Yu Yunxi was still standing next to him. He said, slightly flustered, “Eldest Princess, I…”
“General Qu, rest assured. I share the same opinion as you. A leopard can’t change its spots overnight. I don’t think he’ll suddenly turn over a new leaf. I’m afraid he has an ulterior motive. Please be careful,” Yu Yunxi said seriously.
Qu Jing did not expect to hear these words from Yu Yunxi. He quickly nodded and said, “I’ll remember your reminder.”
“Let’s take a look at Qu Yu first,” Yu Yunxi said, walking to the Qu family’s carriage.
Qu Zhengyi, who was standing by the carriage, frowned when he saw Yu Yunxi. He said, “Eldest Princess, why are you looking for my young miss? She’s already unconscious. She is…”
Qu Jing said reproachfully, “How dare you! This is the Eldest Princess!”
