Late at night.
“Your Royal Highness… I don’t think the Princess Consort is coming back.”
Feng Yili sat in the hall. He had already drunk many cups of tea, but he had no intention of leaving. He glanced at the entrance from time to time as his expression turned cold. After a long silence, he asked hoarsely, “Where is she now?”
“Your Royal Highness, the Princess Consort has been in the Revival these few days. However, the hall is closed. She’s been accompanying Junjin and sorting out herbs,” Jiang Ying quickly replied.
“Why is the Revival Hall closed?” Feng Yili asked darkly.
Jiang Ying recounted what happened at the Revival Hall two days ago.
Jiang Chuan could not help but say, expressing his opinion, “Your Royal
Highness, Wei Medical Hall has gone too far this time. They’re afraid of the Revival Hall getting more famous and affecting their business so they employed such a dirty trick.”
Then, Jiang Ying and Jiang Chuan exchanged a look. There was one thing they did not dare to say. In their opinion, Yu Yunxi must be angry with Feng Yili because of this matter. Otherwise, why did she not return to the Prince Regent’s Residence?
After a moment, Jiang Ying said, “Oh, right. Third Master Wei came to the residence today, asking for an audience for you. However, you were not around. I wonder if the purpose of his visit had anything to do with the Princess Consort…”
“Cut off the source of medicinal herbs for the Wei family from today onward,” Feng Yili said sternly.
Jiang Ying and Jiang Chuan were delighted that Feng Yili was finally making a move against the Wei family.
The Wei family’s Wei Medical Hall relied on Feng Yili to obtain all kinds of medicinal herbs. If Feng Yili cut off their source, Wei Medical Hall would not be able to act arrogantly anymore.
After a moment, Feng Yili asked solemnly, “Did Shen Hezhi go to the Revival Hall?”
“Your Royal Highness, the Crown Prince had arranged for a residence for Shen Hezhi outside the palace. He has not left since he entered the residence. He likely knows that the Emperor’s men are watching his every move so he’s not acting rashly, ” Jiang Ying replied.
Upon hearing this, the frown on Feng Yili’s face eased slightly.
“Junjin has a habit of sleepwalking. I wonder if he’s used to sleeping in the Revival Hall. I’m going to see him,” Feng Yili said before he quickly got up and strode out.
Jiang Ying and Jiang Chun looked at Feng Yili’s back with complicated expressions on their faces.
‘Your Royal Highness, if you want to see the Princess Regent, there’s no need to make up such an excuse…’
At this moment, someone coughed near the entrance and said, “Hmm, I don’t think it’s safe for you to go to the Revival Hall alone so late at night. I’ll accompany you to protect you…
Subsequently, a figure appeared from behind the door. Who knew how long he had been waiting there? However, after hearing that Feng Yili was going to the Revival Hall, how could he not jump out and follow Feng Yili?
Inside the carriage.
It was so dark that one could barely see one’s hands.
Luo Xiuran opened his mouth a few times to ask about Jian Qing, but in the end, the words did not leave his mouth.
Feng Yili did not even need to guess to figure out what Luo Xiuran was thinking. He opened his eyes and slowly said, “Jian Qing appeared in the King of Xinan’s Residence five years ago. She’s now called Qian Qing, and she’s a deputy of Xinan’s troops.”
Luo Xiuran scratched his head awkwardly. Indeed, his thoughts were too obvious. To get rid of the awkwardness, he quickly found another topic and asked, “Yili, counting the days, there are only a few more days left before the poison in your body acts up again. The medicine Junjin gave us won’t be able to last for long. Do we still need to ask the Wei family for medicine?”
As soon as Luo Xiuran finished speaking, he felt the temperature in his surroundings drop immediately. Although he could not see Feng Yili at this moment, ne could already Imagine now terntymg Feng Ylll must nave 100kec1 at this moment.
‘Alright, it was indeed inappropriate to mention the Wei family at this time,’ Luo Xiuran thought to himself. He shrank back and tried to lower his sense of presence.
When the carriage was about to reach the Revival Hall. Feng Yili suddenly thought of something. He asked solemnly, “Jiang Ying, today’s the Fifth Princess’ birthday, right? There’s a banquet, right?”
“Yes. Yesterday, Prince Chen sent someone to invite Your Royal Highness and the Young Marquis to the banquet, but both of you refused the invitation,” Jiang Ying replied.
Feng Yili and the Fifth Prince looked friendly on the surface, but in reality, they were restraining each other. How could Feng Yili attend Princess Consort Chen’s birthday banquet?
“Stop,” Feng Yili suddenly ordered Jiang Ying to stop the carriage. Then, he leaped out, causing his black robes to flutter in the wind. He used his internal energy and jumped onto the roof, flying away.
“H-he left just like that? Isn’t he going to the Revival Hall?!”
Luo Xiuran rushed out of the carriage. He looked dumbfounded as he watched Feng Yili leave.
Jiang Ying and Jiang Chuan were confused as well.
“That’s strange. That’s the direction of the imperial palace. Why is he going to the imperial palace at this hour?”
“Why did he suddenly ask about Princess Consort Chen?”
The imperial palace.
A petite figure dressed in all black flashed by.
The imperial guards only felt a gust of wind blowing past them. They did not see anything at all when they turned around.
The figure easily climbed over the wall and entered Jingyue Hall.
Jingyue Hall belonged to Consort Wei.
Feng Weigeng had yet to reach adulthood so he was still living with Consort Wei.
Yu Yunxi heard movements up ahead so she carefully walked over. As she drew closer, she could hear a commotion.
“I don’t care! I want to leave the palace! It’s Fifth Imperial Sister-in-law’s birthday. Even Mother went to Prince Chen’s Residence! Why can’t I go?!”
Feng Weigeng slammed his hand against the stone table, venting his anger.
The young eunuch at the side braced himself before he stepped forward and said, “Twelfth Prince, Consort Wei and Prince Chen said you injured the King of Xinan’s grandson. The King of Xinan’s Residence is filled with vicious people. If you leave the palace, won’t it be tantamount to giving them a chance to seek revenge?”
Feng Weigeng scoffed disdainfully. He cursed angrily, “King of Xinan’s grandson? Mother and Brother said he’s a b*stard. I’m not afraid of him. At most, I’ll bring more guards with me and capture that little b*stard again! That Yu Pengtian was useless! I’ve already sent the person over to him, but he still failed to abuse that person. Moreover, he even left a huge mess behind after his death!”
Yu Yunx’s expression turned icier when she heard the words ‘b*stard’ and ‘abuse’.
“The palace is too suffocating. I want to go out,” Feng Weigeng said, flicking his sleeve and preparing to leave.
The eunuchs and maidservants were extremely flustered. They hurriedly stood in front of him before they fell to their knees and pleaded with him.
“Twelfth Prince, the Emperor punished you to copy books because of Assistant Minister Yu’s matter. If something happens when you’re out, the Emperor will be angrier. At that time, Consort Wei and Prince Chen will be in a difficult position.”
They tried their best to advise and persuade Feng Weigeng, but he did not appreciate it at all. He said angrily, “Slaves! How dare you stop me?! See if I don’t teach you a lesson!”
After that, Feng Weigeng brought a whip out from somewhere and aimed it at the eunuchs and the maidservants..
