Feng Yili walked in front of Yu Yunxi as they walked out. It was apparent that he was trying to shield her from unknown danger with his body.
Yu Yunxi’s heart felt incomparably warm at this moment. She listened carefully before she whispered, “There’s no movement from the secret guards as well.
It’s as though they’re asleep.”
Feng Yili nodded in agreement as his expression turned solemn.
‘The culprit is quite capable…’
The duo continued to listen carefully before Yu Yunxi suddenly pointed in a direction and said, “Over there.”
The duo quickly walked over.
The courtyard was huge. After walking for a while, they finally stopped in front of a dry well.
“The noise seems to be coming from here,” Yu Yunxi said seriously.
“Stay here. I’ll…”
Yu Yunxi understood his intentions and interjected immediately. She shook her head and said firmly, “No, I’m going down with you.”
Feng Yili naturally disagreed. He did not want to put her in any danger. He shook his head as well and said, “Yunxi, it might be dangerous down there.”
“Feng Yili, I’m your wife. We’re one and the same. If there’s danger, we’ll face it together. I’m not a delicate flower. I want to fight alongside you,” Yu Yunxi said as her eyes shone with determination.
Feng Yili’s gaze turned gentle immediately. He felt as though spring had arrived in his heart at this moment.
‘This is the woman I love…’
“Alright, let’s go together.”
With that, the duo used their internal energy and jumped into the dry well.
It was dark, and the dry well seemed bottomless. After falling for an unknown Deriod of time. their feet finally touched the ground.
“Follow me closely,” Feng Yili said solemnly.
“Mm.”
Yu Yunxi quickly nodded. At the same time, she quickly lit the candle she brought here. As soon as the candle was lit, she saw a pale face in front of her. Although she had a strong heart, she was still frightened. She quickly retreated.
Feng Yili quickly pulled her behind him.
At this moment, a gust of wind blew over to the pale face. Strangely, the pale face disappeared like a puff of smoke.
‘This, this too strange…’
Yu Yunxi and Feng Yili’s expressions turned slightly grave. They looked around and found that the dry well seemed ordinary.
‘Were we seeing things?’
Suddenly, another gust of wind blew past again, snuffing out the candle in Yu
Yunxi’s hand.
Yu Yunxi immediately felt a chill in her heart. They were at the bottom of the dry well, after all; they were in an enclosed space. So where did the wind come from?
She tried to light the candle again, but she failed even after trying many times.
Suddenly, someone cackled loudly. Following that, a shrill voice said,
“Someone’s here again…”
After that, the familiar and eerie sound of crying rang in the air. This was the sound that Yu Yunxi, Meng Xia, and the others had heard many times before.
“Who’s playing tricks here?” Yu Yunxi asked sternly. However, the only response she obtained was a mixture of the sound of laughter and crying.
The laughter sounded mocking while the cries were sorrowful. When the two sounds intertwined, there was a strange and inexplicable harmony to it.
Yu Yunxi was thinking of ways to lure the other party out when she suddenly felt something cold climbing up her shoulders. A cold breath brushed past her ear after that, bringing a creepy feeling with it.
“Feng, Feng Yili…”
“Be careful…
Feng Yili could sense that the thing in the dark was approaching them, and he quickly made a move.
Yu Yunxi did not stay idle. She brought her whip out and attacked.
At this moment, the thing released mist into the air.
“This is bad! It’s poisonous!” Yu Yunxi hurriedly reminded Feng Yili when she sensed that something was wrong. Alas, it was too late. A feeling of dizziness assaulted her, and she fainted soon after.
When Yu Yunxi woke up, she found herself lying in her room. It was already bright outside.
‘Why am I here? Wasn’t I at the bottom of the well?’
Yu Yunxi quickly got up and called out, “Is anyone outside?”
Meng Xia quickly entered the room and asked, “Eldest Princess, what’s the matter?”
Yu Yunxi dressed herself as she asked anxiously, “How did I return to the room?”
Meng Xia frowned in confusion. “What do you mean, Eldest Princess? You were always in the room, right?”
“Where’s Feng Yili? Where’s he? Is he injured?” Yu Yunxi asked as her anxiety continued mounting. She had fallen into the enemy’s trap last night, and she was worried about Feng Yili.
Upon hearing Yu Yunxi’s words, Meng Xia gritted her teeth and said, “Eldest
Princess, it’s better if you don’t ask about the Prince Regent of Tianxia!”
Yu Yunxi sensed that something was amiss immediately. Her expression turned grim as she asked, “What’s wrong?”
Meng Xia puffed up her cheeks, looking like she was sulking. In the end, she said, “Last night, the Prince Regent entered the palace and agreed to marry the Sixth Princess.”
Yu Yunxi’s eyes widened in shock. “What? He agreed to marry Chu Zhihe?” ‘Didn’t he just reject the marriage?’
“Impossible. I’m going to ask him what’s going on,” Yu Yunxi said, preparing to leave the room.
Meng Xia quickly moved and stood in front of Yu Yunxi before she said, “Eldest Princess, wake up! The Prince Regent has been using you from the beginning.
He had no choice but to get close to you because you could detoxify the
Springwood Separation poison in his body! However, whether it was before or after you lost your memory, you couldn’t completely detoxify the remnants of the Springwood Separation poison in his body. From time to time, the poison would act up and torture him. Consort Mu and the others found a way to get rid of the Springwood Separation poison completely, but the condition is that he has to marry the Sixth Princess. He agreed without hesitation.”
‘Is that the reason?’
Yu Yunxi froze. She did not believe that Feng Yili would do this.
At this moment, Qian Qing, Qian Jiao, Qian Mei, and even the little bun entered the room. Their eyes were red, and they wore worried expressions on their faces.
The little bun ran over and hugged Yu Yunxi as he said, “Mother, I don’t want
Father anymore! He’s a liar! He’s been using us all along!”
Yu Yunxi quickly wiped the little bun’s tears away as she said reassuringly, “Junjin, don’t talk about your father like that. He’s definitely not such a person.”
“No, Mother, you don’t understand. You don’t know how ruthless he really is,” the little bun said as he rolled up his sleeves.
Soon enough, everyone saw the mottled scars on the little bun’s arm. They looked terrifying.
Yu Yunxi felt like her heart was in her throat at this moment. With so many scars, he had to be in a lot of pain. Her eyes shone with tears as she asked in distress, “Junjin, what’s going on?”
“It’s Father. I don’t know how he found out that my blood could suppress the effect of the poison in his body, but every time the poison acted up, he’d send someone to capture me. He’d cut my flesh and drink my blood. Previously, I endured it because I thought that he treated you sincerely. Who knew he would be so heartless?” the little bun said through gritted teeth as an expression of hate that did not match his age appeared on his face.
“H-he… He, he really did that?”
Yu Yunxi’s head buzzed. The little bun was her everything.. How could Feng Yili hurt the little bun like that?
