Although Yu Yunxi was prepared, she was still surprised by how fast the rumors spread.
“County Princess, the entire capital is talking about Yu Pengtian’s death. The First Prince has already reported the matter to the Emperor and asked for the matter to be thoroughly investigated,” Qian Jiao reported as soon as she walked in, “Also, I don’t know where the news came from, but everyone’s saying… that you have a child.”
Qian Jiao’s expression became anxious when she spoke about this. ‘How was the secret that the County Princess spent so much effort to hide exposed?’
Yu Yunxi frowned slightly. She did not expect this matter to be exposed so quickly.
“County Princess, what should we do?” Qian Mei asked worriedly.
Yu Yunxi massaged her temples and asked tiredly, “Has Junjin woken up?” “He was probably too frightened last night so he has yet to wake up.”
“Qian Mei, keep an eye on him. Don’t let him run around. Qian Jiao, help me change. We’re going to the palace.
Reality proved that Yu Yunxi was right to enter the palace first.
As soon as she arrived at the palace gates, she saw Feng Weirui, the First Prince, walking out with a group of imperial guards.
When Feng Weirui saw the emblem on her carriage, he stopped in his tracks and ordered his men to surround the carriage.
“County Princess, I was just about to look for you. I didn’t expect you to turn yourself in.”
“Yunxi greets the First Prince. Prince Rui, your words are wrong. I’m here to report to the Emperor, not turn myself in,” Yu Yunxi said tonelessly, “Your Royal Highness, please make way.”
Feng Weirui scoffed and said gloomily, “I want to see how you’re going to explain yourself to Imperial Father!”
Out of all the people in his faction, Yu Pengtian was the most useful to Feng Weirui. Unexpectedly, that b*tch, Yu Yunxi, would kill Yu Pengtian. He was determined to make her pay the price today.
When Yu Yunxi arrived at the entrance of Fuyang Hall, she looked at the extremely bright sun in the sky. She turned around and asked Qian Jiao, “Is everything ready?”
“Yes, County Princess.”
“Good. Thank you for your hard work,” Yu Yunxi said before she slowly walked into Fuyang Hall.
At this moment, a tall figure walked over from behind.
Feng Yili stood next to Yu Yunxi and said in a low voice, “I’ll protect you and Junjin.”
Yu Yunxi looked at him. When she saw his handsome side profile, her heart could not help but skip a beat. She asked softly, “Did you already guess Junjin’s identity?”
Yu Yunxi had thought about this matter for a long time last night. She thought about revealing Yu Junjin’s identity. With Feng Yili’s ability, it should not be difficult for him to protect Yu Junjin. Now that she heard Feng Yili’s words, she could not help but wonder if she had made it too obvious last night and that he had already guessed that Yu Junjin was his biological son.
Upon hearing Yu Yunxi’s words, Feng Yili lowered his gaze. His thick eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyes. After a long time, he said in a hoarse voice, “No matter what, Junjin is my son.”
‘No matter what?’
Yu Yunxi frowned in confusion. She knew there must have been a misunderstanding.
“You mean…”
“I know that Junjin is your son. Back then, I failed to protect you. I’ll treat Junjin as my own. If you’re worried that I won’t treat Junjin well, then I won’t have any children in the future.” Feng Yili replied in a low voice, interrupting
Yu Yunxi.
He truly felt a kinship with Yu Junjin. Not only was Yu Junjin obedient, but he was also Yu Yunxi’s child. It did not matter to him if Yu Junjin was not his biological son. He could still nurture and raise Yu Junjin into the heir of the Prince Regent’s Residence.
Feng Yili was undoubtedly very sincere, but Yu Yunxi could not help but feel angry when she heard these words. He had guessed that Yu Yunjin was her son, but he did not think that Yu Junjin was his biological son. She looked at him and asked tiredly, “Feng Yili, do you really not remember what happened in the imperial mausoleum?”
Feng Yili frowned. He explained in a low voice, “I remember vaguely that I woke up in the imperial mausoleum, but I can’t remember anything else. The doctor in the residence said that it was because I was unconscious for too long and also suffered a head injury.”
After that, he asked seriously, “Back then, apart from drugging you, what else did Yu Wanrong do to you?”
“You…” Yu Yunxi felt rather helpless when she saw Feng Yili like this. In the end, she muttered softly, “Let’s deal with Yu Pengtian’s matter first.” After saying that, Yu Yunxi walked into the hall.
Feng Yili’s expression was solemn as he looked at Yu Yunxi’s back. ‘Did something else happen in the imperial mausoleum back then?’
Feng Yili suppressed his emotions and followed Yu Yunxi into the hall.
When Yu Yunxi walked in, she saw many familiar faces.
The Emperor, the Empress, the Crown Prince, the First Prince, the Fifth Prince, Yu Wanrong, and the other ministers were all present.
Yu Yunxi thought it was normal for the others to be here, but she could not understand why Yu Wanrong was here.
Feng Yijin’s expression was dark when he looked at Yu Yunxi. He was just about to rebuke her when she spoke first.
“Your Majesty, I came to report to you.”
“Report? What do you have to report?” Feng Yijin asked in an unfriendly tone.
“I want to report Yu Pengtian and the Twelfth Prince for the abduction, abuse, and murder of children, ” Yu Yunxi said in a sonorous voice.
‘What? She dares to report the Twelfth Prince?’
Feng Weichen, the Fifth Prince, narrowed his eyes, and a furious expression appeared on his face. He knew a little about what happened last night. It was indeed his brother who sent a child to Yu Pengtian. However, how could an unknown child compare to a member of the imperial family? Originally, he was confident that Yu Yunxi would not have the guts to expose his brother’s involvement in the matter for an unknown child. Unexpectedly, she actually dared to expose her brother.
Feng Yijin slammed his hand on the handle of the throne and roared, “Yu
Yunxi, how dare you slander a prince and a minister of the court!”
Feng Weichen quickly stepped forward and said warningly, “Although you’re the County Princess of Xinan, the consequences of slandering a prince are not something you can bear.”
“Didn’t Prince Chen interrogate the guards that left the palace with the Twelfth
Prince yesterday?” Yu Yunxi asked calmly in a tone that was neither servile nor arrogant.
Feng Weichen’s expression turned unsightly. He looked up and saw Feng Yili slowly walking in.
‘Last night, the people from the Prince Regent’s Residence suddenly entered the palace and brought all of Twelfth Brother’s guards away. It must be because of this matter…’
In the past, Feng Weichen was certain that Feng Yili would stand on his side.
However, so many things happened recently, and Feng Yili had been defending Yu Yunxi over and over again. He was no longer certain that Feng Yili would stand on his side.
“Your Majesty, I have witnesses,” Yu Yunxi said loudly. She looked at Qian Jiao meaningfully.
Qian Jiao quickly brought in a few people that they had discreetly brought in earlier..
