“This is an interesting matter. It’s obvious that Princess Consort Rui wants to hide her pregnancy. Qian Jiao, do you still remember what the women said about Prince Rui when we disguised ourselves and went to the Drunken Harmony Parlor?” Yu Yunxi asked.
“Yes. They said that Prince Rui likes Yun Ru, and he’s a frequent guest of hers,” Qian Jiao said with a nod.
“That’s right. Although Marquis Jian Zhong’s Residence has declined in recent years, it’s still one of the top aristocratic families in the capital. Prince Rui has a Princess Consort, and yet he dares to openly show his affection to a courtesan. Moreover, Princess Consort Rui almost had a miscarriage today because she was poisoned. We have to continue investigating this matter,” Yu Yunxi said seriously with a frown on her face.
“Yes, County Princess.”
As long as she found the weaknesses of the princes of this dynasty, it would be much easier to turn the imperial family upside down.
At this moment, Qian Jiao noticed something and said with a hint of nervousness, “County Princess, it seems like we’re being followed.”
Yu Yunxi was very calm. Earlier, when they were still at the entrance of Wei
Medical Hall, she had already noticed that those people were the guards of Princess Consort Rui. After all, how could a Princess Consort only bring two maidservants with her when she went out?
“It doesn’t matter. Let them follow us,” Yu Yunxi said slowly. She had been thinking about how to reveal her identity to Princess Consort Rui earlier. Now that the latter sent people to follow her, it would only make things easier for her.
“Then, where should we go now, County Princess?”
“The house… No, it should be called the Revival Hall now,” Yu Yunxi said softly.
After that, the two women calmly went to the Revival Hall.
Unbeknownst to Yu Yunxi and Qian Jiao, news about the incident near Wei Medical Hall began to spread among the commoners.
“I heard a madam almost lost her baby at the entrance of Wei Medical Hall. Fortunately, a young lady stepped forward to help. In the end, both the madam and the baby were saved.”
“I heard about this as well. Who’s that young lady? She has such amazing medical skills! Is she also from Wei Medical Hall?”
“When has there ever been a female doctor in Wei Medical Hall? I heard that someone saw her walking into a place called the Revival Hall.”
“Revival Hall? Why does it sound so familiar?”
Yu Yunxi worked for a long time in Revival Hall. When she looked at the sky, the moon was already high up in the sky.
“County Princess, we…”
Yu Yunxi interjected, “There are many rooms in the Revival Hall. Let’s just stay here tonight.”
Qian Jiao looked much happier when she heard these words. She replied, “Yes, County Princess.”
In Qian Jiao’s opinion, it was good that they were not returning to the Prince Regent’s Residence tonight. Otherwise, she would have a headache.
Yu Yunxi thought of something at this moment and said solemnly, “That’s right. Remember to tell Qian Mei to stay in the Prince Regent’s Residence and keep an eye on Junjin.”
Qian Jiao instantly understood Yu Yunxi’s meaning. She said with a frown,
“County Princess, are you worried about Little Master’s sleepwalking?”
Indeed, this matter was quite concerning. When Yu Junjin was three years old, they discovered that he had somnambulism and would sleepwalk. Although Yu Yunxi was skilled, there was nothing she could do about this.
“Junjin only sleepwalks occasionally. I hope he’ll be fine during this period of time in the Prince Regent’s Residence. When he gets tired of this, find someone to pretend to be his mother and take him away,” Yu Yunxi said.
“Yes, County Princess.”
After giving a few more instructions, Yu Yunxi returned to her room. However, as soon as she entered the room, she sensed something was amiss. There was someone in the room! Her gaze and aura changed immediately upon her discovery. Just as she was about to attack the other party, the oil lamp was lit.
Feng Yili stood with his back against her, holding an oil lamp.
“Your Royal Highness, why aren’t you sleeping when it’s so late?” Yu Yunxi asked. Seeing that it was Feng Yili, her murderous aura vanished immediately.
Feng Yili turned around and stared at her with his dark eyes as he asked, “Do you know that the person you saved today is Princess Consort Rui?”
“Of course. Your Royal Highness, don’t tell me that you came to me so late at night just to ask me this question? Did you come because of Wei Medical Hall or the First Prince?” Yu Yunxi asked sarcastically. After saying that, she ignored him and sat on the bed to remove her shoes. She was already preparing to sleep. In her opinion, there was no reason for Feng Yili to bother her any longer. She lay down and turned her back to him.
After a long time, Yu Yunxi frowned when she did not hear any sound. She thought that he could not stand her temper and had left when she heard the sounds of footsteps. Before she could turn around, her acupoints were tapped, and she was carried horizontally.
Yu Yunxi panicked and struggled. “Feng Yili, what are you doing?”
Feng Yili hugged her, looking unmoved as he said coldly, “Since you promised to be responsible for me until my injuries are healed, you have to keep your word.”
“But… ”
“It’s been agreed upon that you’ll stay in the Prince Regent’s Residence,” Feng Yili continued to say.
“Feng Yili, can you be more reasonable?” Yu Yunxi asked through gritted teeth.
At this time, Feng Yili had already carried Yu Yunxi away. From the beginning until the end, Qian Jiao and the secret guards did not notice his presence at all. This was what made him terrifying.
Yu Yunxi felt angry and helpless at the same time. Feng Yili was clearly injured, but his movement skills were still so impressive.
After returning to the Prince Regent’s Residence, Feng Yili strode into his room before putting Yu Yunxi down. Before leaving he said, “Just stay here. I won’t do anything to you. Just treat this resident like it’s yours. I’ll be sleeping in the study.”
“You… ”
‘Before you leave, you should unlock my acupoints!’
Feng Yili’s expression was terrible when he left the room. It was clear that he was in a bad mood.
Luo Xiuran, who was sitting in the pavilion nearby and eating an apple, said with a sigh, “It’s really difficult for Yili to chase his wife…”
Yu Junjin, who was sitting at the side, lowered his head and played with his fingers. A disappointed expression could be seen on his face as he thought to himself, ‘The conflict between Father and Mother seems to be getting worse. What should I do? What can I do?’
Luo Xiuran nudged the little bun with his elbow as he said, “That’s right. Junjin, you said that your mother is looking for your father. Why don’t you describe your father? I know a lot of people, and I’ve traveled far and wide. Perhaps, I know your father.”
The little bun was depressed now so he did not pay any attention to Luo Xiuran. He simply came up with an excuse before he said, “My father is a heartless man. He abandoned my mother. I don’t know what he looks like. I only know he left a token for my mother.”
“Token? What token?” Luo Xiuran asked curiously.
The little bun was annoyed by the questions. Without thinking too much, he removed the jade thumb ring that Qian Qing had given him to appease Luo Xiuran’s curiosity.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Luo Xiuran saw the jade thumb ring, he looked as though he had lost his soul. When he recovered, he grabbed the little bun’s shoulders tightly.. A hint of madness could be seen in his burning gaze as he asked, “Junjin, who’s your mother?”
