When Yu Yunxi carried Yu Junjin outside, she turned around and said to Qian Jiao, “This matter tonight will definitely cause a commotion. Deal with it as soon as possible.”
“Yes, County Princess!” Qian Jiao gritted her teeth and nodded. She would not allow the little master to get hurt again.
Yu Yunxi lowered her head and asked the little bun in a shaky voice, “Junjin, are you okay?”
“Mother, I’m fine. I was a little frightened earlier, but as soon as I saw you, I was no longer frightened. I knew that you’d come for me!” the little bun said seriously with red eyes, “Mother, I’m sorry. It’s my fault. If I didn’t sneak out, none of this would have happened. Please punish me.”
“I won’t punish you. I just want to know if you’re really okay,” Yu Yunxi asked as she tried to hold her tears back.
“I-I was just a little frightened when I was thrown into the sack,” the little bun said nervously, clenching his hands.
“I’m sorry I didn’t protect you well,” Yu Yunxi said, feeling guilty as she hugged her son.
“No, it was my fault,” the little bun said, shaking his head frantically. He did not want his mother to blame herself. Moreover, he was in the wrong. “Let’s not talk about this for now. Let’s go back,” Yu Yunxi said gently.
“Where are we going?”
“Let’s go to the Revival Hall first,” Yu Yunxi said. She put him down and held his hand before leading him into the carriage.
After the carriage left, a figure emerged from the darkness.
“Did you hear that earlier? That child called Yu Yunxi… Mother, right?” Yu Yunxi’s face was hidden by a veil, and her eyes glinted coldly in the night.
The maidservants heard this and could not help but speculate.
“Yes, Second Miss.”
“B-but how could the Eldest Miss have such a big child?”
“Could this child be the Prince Regent’s?”
When Yu Wanrong heard this, she smiled sarcastically and said, “How could it be the Prince Regent’s? Back then, the Prince Regent was in a coma. It’s impossible for the child to appear out of nowhere. Could it be…”
Yu Wanrong’s eyes flashed again when she thought about the time she drugged
Yu Yunxi.
‘Could it be that Yu Yunxi found a random man and got pregnant with a b*stard child? Or did she hook up with another man after fleeing to Xinan?’
“You’re right, Second Miss. If the child is really the Prince Regent’s, would she have kept it a secret? It’s said that the child is only a guest of the Prince Regent’s Residence.”
“That’s right. If a normal person gave birth to a child of the imperial family, they would’ve announced it to the world. Since she’s hiding it, there must be something fishy going on.”
“Moreover, I don’t think the child looks like the Prince Regent. He must be a
b*stard.”
Yu Wanrong had already begun to make plans in her heart. She ordered, “Go to the Eastern Palace, and report this to the Crown Prince.”
“Yes, Second Miss.”
Yu Wanrong was in a good mood as she looked in the direction where Yu Yunxi’s carriage left.
‘Yu Yunxi, you won’t be able to be happy for long! I’ve already caught your weakness. It’s about time for your reputation to be ruined!’
After sending the little bun and watching him fall asleep, Yu Yunxi left.
“How is it?” Yu Yunxi asked tiredly.
“I brought people to clean up the corpses in Jade Manor, but the people from the Prince Regent’s Residence have already taken care of it,” Qian Jiao said with a frown.
‘Feng Yili? At this time, shouldn’t he cut ties with me to avoid being implicated?’
Yu Pengtian was an assistant minister, and his position in the imperial court was not low. Furthermore, he was the First Prince’s lackey. Now that something happened to him, many people would not be able to sit still.
The matter tonight was indeed quite big. Yu Yunxi knew that after tomorrow, she would not be able to live in peace. Nonetheless, she did not regret killing Yu Pengtian at all. She only regretted not killing that b*stard earlier.
Yu Yunxi massaged her temples and said, “Prepare yourselves. People from the government will definitely come and interrogate us tomorrow. You should first collect evidence of Yu Pengtian’s crimes.”
“Yes, County Princess.”
“Oh, Qian Mei,” Yu Yunxi suddenly turned to Qian Mei and said, “Later, go to Marquis Jian Zhong’s Residence to look for Princess Consort Rui. Help me pass on a message to her.”
“Yes, County Princess.”
It was destined to be a sleepless night in the Prince Regent’s Residence.
Luo Xiuran paced back and forth in the hall anxiously.
“This is too troublesome…”
Previously, because Yu Yunxi’s dowry was lost halfway, the Emperor had summoned Feng Yili into the palace many times. It was not easy to solve that matter, but now Yu Yunxi stirred up trouble and killed someone. Although Luo Xiuran also thought that Yu Pengtian deserved to die, this method was too reckless.
“I’ll bear the responsibility for this matter. You don’t have to worry,” Feng Yili said expressionlessly.
“You! You… What responsibility are you going to bear? The Emperor has been looking for ways to deal with you! Doing that is just handing him a chance!” Luo Xiuran said, feeling extremely anxious.
However, Feng Yili remained unmoved. His body was tense as he waited for the news.
After a while, Jiang Ying finally rushed into the hall. His forehead was beaded with sweat, and he seemed a little excited. He said, “Your Royal Highness! We’ve found out who the King of Xinan’s Residence was looking for! It’s a four or five-year-old child! It’s said that he’s the little master of the King of Xinan’s Residence!”
“A four or five-year-old child?!”
Luo Xiuran was stunned when he heard these words, and something quickly flashed in his mind.
“Junjin… The King of Xinan’s Residence… Yu Yunxi! Don’t tell me you think Junjin is Yu Yunxi’s child?!” Luo Xiuran exclaimed in shock. This kind of shock could no longer be described with words.
Feng Yili’s hand gripped the handle of the chair tightly. The cold expression on his face faded, replaced by one that was complicated but also serious and loving.
Luo Xiuran knew Feng Yili very well. Seeing the latter’s expression, he became even more anxious. “You think so too? But before she left the capital, you were still unconscious. Wait a minute… Didn’t Yu Wanrong drug her back then?”
Luo Xiuran’s expression turned grave immediately. When Jiang Chuan was eavesdropping on Yu Wanrong and the Crown Prince, he was nearby. He heard Yu Wanrong said that Yu Yunxi was defiled.
“So Junjin is…”
Feng Yili rose to his feet and slammed his hand on the table. His gaze was cold as he said, “No matter what, Junjin is my son.”
No matter how the child came about, as long as it was Yu Yunxi’s child, he would be the little master of the Prince Regent’s Residence.
“Yili, are you planning to…”
Feng Yili interjected, “He can only be my son!”
