In the hall.

When Qian Ji walked in, he saw Feng Yili sitting on the main seat with a cold expression. He bowed and introduced himself, “Greetings, Prince Regent. I’m Qian Ji, the Deputy General of Xinan’s army. I’m also the envoy who came to the capital with the County Princess.”

Although Qian Ji’s head was lowered, he could sense the piercing gaze on him. He was rather confident when he came, but his aura could not help but weaken a little at this moment. He could not help but lose his confidence when faced with Feng Yili.

“Tell me, why are you here?” Feng Yili asked expressionlessly.

Qian Ji took a deep breath before he quickly conveyed Yu Yunxi’s message.

“You’re saying that your County Princess wants my help to escort the dowry to

Xinan?”

Feng Yili’s slender fingers tapped the table as he looked at Qian Ji coldly.

Qian Ji felt chills running up his spine when he heard the tapping noises. Feng

Yili’s aura was too imposing after all. He said, “That’s right. I…”

Feng Yili interjected, “Go back and report to your County Princess that the Ministry of War will come to the Yu Residence tomorrow.”

‘What? So that’s a yes?’

Qian Ji looked up in shock. He had not even said the words he had prepared for the negotiation. He took a deep breath and quickly said, “Thank you, Prince

Regent.’

‘No matter what, this matter is considered successful!’

“Don’t worry, Your Royal Highness. Since you’re helping us with this matter, we’ll definitely send the rations to Xibei as soon as possible,” Qian Ji said.

Before visiting, Yu Yunxi had already said that as soon as they stepped foot into the Prince Regent’s Residence, they had already harmed the Prince Regent’s Residence. After all, they were intentionally increasing the Emperor’s suspicion toward the Prince Regent’s Residence. Hence, if Feng Yili decided to help them, Xinan would definitely compensate him with their greatest sincerity.

Nonetheless, the cold expression on Feng Yili’s face did not ease when he heard these words.

The long silence was truly torturous for Qian Ji. He took a deep breath and said, “Prince Regent, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first.”

Just as Qian Ji turned around, Feng Yili suddenly asked, “When did your County Princess come to Xinan?”

‘What?’

Qian Ji did not expect this question and was stunned. When he recovered, he quickly replied, “The County Princess came to Xinan five years ago in the

autumn. However, she only became the goddaughter of the King of Xinan four years ago in winter.”

‘Isn’t it autumn five years ago when I woke up?’

Feng Yili’s eyes darkened as he asked slowly, “Then, before becoming the

County Princess, did she live well?”

Qian Ji fell silent for a long time before he said in a low voice, “In fact, whether it’s before or after she became the County Princess, she didn’t have an easy time.”

From a defenseless girl to the most ruthless woman in Xinan, she had suffered a lot. After all, she was also the only female general in Xinan’s army and the mother of Yu Junjin.

“Alright, I understand. You may leave,” Feng Yili said hoarsely, withdrawing his gaze. No one knew what he was thinking at this moment.

As promised, the soldiers from the Ministry of War appeared at the entrance of the Yu Residence the next morning.

As she watched them move the boxes into the carriages, Yu Yunxi could not help but ask Qian Ji, “Did Feng Yili really agree so easily last night?”

“Yes, County Princess.”

“What else did he say?” Yu Yunxi asked, puzzled. Why was Feng Yili so easy to talk to?

‘IN-nothing,” Qian Ji replied after hesitating for a moment, deciding not to tell Yu Yunxi about Feng Yili’s question. After all, he did not know what Feng Yili’s intentions were. Moreover, the King of Xinan had reminded him to protect Yu Yunxi and keep her away from Feng Yili. He hoped after this, Yu Yunxi would no longer have anything to do with Feng Yili and the Prince Regent’s

Residence.

Yu Yunxi remained silent, and her frown did not ease.

‘What’s Feng Yili thinking? I really don’t understand him at all. Forget it. I have more important things to deal with…’

“Qian Ji, bring your men and leave the capital with the people from the Ministry of War. Qian Qing has already set up the trap,” Yu Yunxi said seriously.

“Yes, County Princess!”

“Then, what about us? What should we do?” Qian Jiao asked.

“Let’s look for a place to open a medical hall,” Yu Yunxi replied.

“Look for a place? County Princess, I thought you liked the Prince Regent’s house?” Qian Jiao asked skeptically.

“Feng Yili’s house is really good. However, since the owner is him, I’ve lost all interest,” Yu Yunxi said expressionlessly.

Qian Jiao and Qian Ji exchanged a look. It seemed like Yu Yunxi was completely disgusted with Feng Yili. However, this was good since there would be no more disputes in the future.

Four hours later.

Yu Yunxi stood on the city gate tower and watched Qian Ji and the others escort the dowry out of the city.

Qian Jiao, who was standing at the back, said softly, “County Princess, as you expected, that b*stard Emperor sent a group of people out of the city in advance.”

Yu Yunxi sighed, but she was not too worried.

Qian Ji was the deputy general whom her godbrother personally trained. She believed that he was capable of protecting the dowry.

After leaving the city tower, Yu Yunxi saw a house in the distance. She stopped in her tracks.

‘That’s right! Why didn’t I think of it? Feng Yili’s house is in a good location so the house next to his is also in a good location!’

Yu Yunxi quickly walked over to the house. Unexpectedly, she saw a familiar face.

“Yunxi?”

“Zhiyan?”

Yu Yunxi was stunned when she saw Xu Zhiyan, who was dressed in court attire, alighting from a carriage.

Xu Zhiyan walked over and said with a smile, “It’s really you. I thought I saw wrongly.”

“Why are you here?”

“I bought this house after returning to the capital. I live here now,” Xu Zhiyan explained.

Yu Yunxi frowned, frustrated. Why was it that all the houses she was interested in were owned by people she knew? It was really not easy for her to make a move.

Xu Zhiyan raised an eyebrow when he saw how upset she was. Then, he asked with a smile, “Are you troubled by the matter of the Crown Prince or are you troubled by the matter of the dowry that was transported out of the city today?”

“You already know about it?”

Xu Zhiyan shook his head and said with a sigh, “It’s hard for me not to know. Yunxi, you’re really brave. The Crown Prince is being punished, and all the officials behind hate you now.”

Yu Yunxi did not look frightened when she heard these words. Instead, she asked, “I’m now a target of so many people. Aren’t you afraid of being seen with

“I’m just a civil official. I don’t have much power. No one cares about me,” Xu Zhiyan said gently, “Since you’re already here, come in and have a chat.”

Since they were old friends, Yu Yunxi was not reserved and nodded in agreement.

Just as the duo was about to enter the house, the door opposite them opened.

Feng Yili, Luo Xiuran, and the little bun walked out together.

Yu Yunxi turned around and saw the trio.

The little bun stared at Yu Yunxi in a daze with pastry crumbs around his mouth. He was so shocked that he even dropped the pastry in his hands to the ground.

Meanwhile, Feng Yili stopped in his tracks. His gaze was dark and his aura was terrifyingly cold. As jealousy grew wildly in his heart, his entire person seemed to be shrouded in darkness..
