Five Years Later, She Bombarded the Palace with a Miniature Version of the Regent

The Prince Regent’s Orders

Concubine Gao covered her mouth and laughed; she did not even attempt to hide her laughter. She said mockingly, “I knew it. How could the Prince Regent allow the Second Miss to suffer? As for some people, even if they have the title of Princess Regent, it’s still useless.”

Concubine Deng laughed and chimed in, “That’s right. The Prince Regent really dotes on the Second Miss.”

“Since ancient times, evil has never triumphed over good. She only returned for a few days, but she thinks she can snatch our things away. Have you taken a look at your own worth?”

“Wanrong, Grandmother is really happy. You did well this time. It’s all thanks to you and the Prince Regent. Our Yu family would’ve been destroyed by a b*tch if it weren’t for you,” Old Madam Zhou said praisingly as she walked over to hold Yu Wanrong’s hand.

“You people!” Qian Jiao said indignantly.

‘These people really know how to turn black into white!’

“Qian Jiao,” Yu Yunxi called out to calm the other party down. Then, she looked at Huang Hongfu coldly and asked, “Lord Huang, right? What orders did you bring from the Prince Regent?”

“County Princess, don’t be anxious,” Huang Hongfu laughed arrogantly and said slowly, “His Royal Highness’ meaning is very simple. You’re the County Princess of Xinan after all. Although you’ve done wrong, we still have to consider the King of Xinan.”

“All you have to do is destroy the donation form and sign a contract to give up on everything in the Yu family’s treasury. This is the Prince Regent’s orders,” Huang Hongfu said as he waved his hand, looking as though he was pardoning Yu Yunxi of a great crime.

“Give up on the Yu family’s treasure? If I may ask, when did I covet the Yu family’s treasury? What I want is my mother’s dowry,” Yu Yunxi said coldly.

Huang Hongfu sneered. “County Princess, you said those things belong to your mother, but where’s the evidence? The booklet? The officials from back then are gone. Who’s to say what’s written in the booklet is real? Also, you’re from the Yu family, but you caused so much trouble to the family. Even if it’s your mother’s dowry, shouldn’t you make a little contribution?”

Huang Hongfu’s logic was like that of a robber.

“Country Princess, he’s clearly on the Yu family’s side,” Qian Jiao said anxiously.

Yu Yunxi pursed her slightly pale lips. How could she not know that Huang Hongfu was on the Yu family’s side? She was confident previously because she knew that even if Yu Zhongcheng held a high position, his influence did not reach all six departments. However, she had miscalculated. The person in charge of the Ministry of War, Feng Yili, was biased.

Yu Yunxi took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in her heart before saying coldly, “Lord Huang, are you determined to act like a blind man today? Even if you have to distort the law, are you still determined to protect them?”

Huang Hongfu looked very unhappy when he heard these words. His eyes shone with contempt as he said to his men, “Men, the County Princess seems unwilling to bring the donation form out. Go in and search this place.”

The guards rushed out immediately.

“Impudent!”

Qian Jiao immediately stood in front of Yu Yunxi.

Huang Hongfu said threateningly, “I’ll have to remind the County Princess that this is the capital, not Xinan. Your resistance is a great crime. When the time comes, even the King of Xinan won’t be able to protect you.”

At the same time, Huang Hongfu looked at Yu Yunxi smugly and disdainfully as he snickered inwardly. ‘You’re just a hostage from Xinan, but you dare to show off in front of me.’

The members of the Yu family also wore gloating expressions on their faces.

Concubine Gao and Concubine Deng naturally did not let go of the opportunity to mock Yi Yunxi.

“I thought she’s very tough. As expected, the Prince Regent can easily deal with her.”

“That’s right. For the sake of maintaining peace, the Prime Minister didn’t teach her a lesson. She really thought of her title as the County Princess as a treasure.”

Yu Wanrong looked like she felt sorry for Yun Yunxi as she said in a sweet voice, “Sister, don’t be so stubborn. If you admit you’re wrong, I’ll go and beg His Royal Highness for mercy. The matter will be over, and you’ll suffer less.”

Faced with so many people, Yu Yunxi sneered. She reached out to Qian Jiao and said, “Qian Jiao, pass me my sword.”

“Yes, County Princess.”

Qian Jiao hurried inside and returned with a sword.

The sword in Yu Yunxi’s hand was sharp. Its hilt was carved with a dragon. It looked mighty and domineering. Although the sword’s aura was majestic and murderous, it did not diminish Yu Yunxi’s aura at all. If anything, it only made her look even more imposing and bloodthirsty.

As though sensing her aura, the few guards in the lead came to a stop, too afraid to approach her.

Yu Yunxi swept her cold gaze across everyone as she warned, “This is the Azure Dragon Sword that the Great Ancestor bestowed my godfather. It’s extremely sharp and bloodthirsty. The Great Ancestor bestowed the sword to my godfather back then so my godfather could kill all those disloyal subordinates. Before I came, my godfather gave me this sword. Today, if anyone dares to step into my house, they’ll be killed without mercy.”

“Impudent! How dare you be so arrogant in the capital?! Men, capture her!” Huang Hongfu, who felt as though his dignity had been challenged, roared. He was so angry that his body trembled.

However, the guards were still hesitant. They could see from Yu Yunxi’s gaze that her hands were stained with blood before.

“Trash! If you don’t capture her today, I’ll punish you according to the military law!” Huang Hongfu continued to roar.

The guards were left with no choice and could only charge forward with their swords in hand. In any case, Yu Yunxi was a woman. How powerful could she be?

However, as soon as the guards drew close, they only saw a blurry figure weaving in and out among them before they felt a sharp pain on their wrists. When they looked down, they saw cuts on their wrists. Blood flowed out, and they lost strength in their hands. One by one, their swords dropped to the ground.

Yu Yunxi acted alone. The Azure Dragon Sword in her hand was not even stained with blood.

Everyone was shocked by this scene.

The expressions of the women of the Yu family changed completely. They knew Yu Yunxi had some skills, but they did not think much of it nor were they afraid. They did not expect that she was so powerful. Due to her fast movements earlier, they could not even see it when she made a move.

On the other hand, Qian Jiao scoffed when she saw their panicked expressions.

‘With such little courage, they think they can harm the County Princess? The County Princess’ most powerful weapons are her sword and her silver needles. Back then, she had relied on her sword and saved the Young Master from the enemies!’

“You’re rebelling! All of you, take her down regardless of her life or death! The Prince Regent will explain this matter to the Emperor!” Huang Hongfu bellowed. Perhaps due to his humiliation, he did not hesitate to order the remaining guards to deal with Yu Yunxi.

However, at this moment, a furious voice rang from outside.

“The Prince Regent will explain this to the Emperor? The Prince Regent didn’t allow you to bully the weak with your powers!”
