Chapter 70: Why Can’t We Return to the Past?

“There’s nothing wrong with it. The problem lies with the incense in your house,” Yu Yunxi said as she walked over to the burning incense and extinguished it, “There’s something in the incense that can stimulate the fetus in your womb. Generally, experienced nannies should be able to detect it.
However, if there’s a five-colored plum next to it, it’ll be difficult to detect. The fragrance of the five-colored plum is strong and can suppress the smell of the incense… After smelling the incense, the fetus’ position will be unstable. If there’s even the slightest mistake with your food, then it can easily cause a miscarriage.”
After that, Yu Yunxi said, “Princess Consort, think about it carefully. Who sent these flowers, incense, and food to you?”
Jian Xin’s face turned paler and paler, and she almost fell. Fortunately, the maidservant behind her caught her in time. She took a deep breath and barely managed to stabilize her emotions before she said, “I… I’m fine.”
Apart from shock, disbelief and anger could also be seen on Jian Xin’s face at this moment even though she tried hard to control her emotions.
Yu Yunxi lowered her gaze. It was obvious that Jian Xin knew who wanted to harm her, and she could not believe the culprit would do such a thing.
Jian Xin smiled weakly as she said, “I’m sorry, I lost my composure for a moment. Thank you for your help.”
“Princess Consort Rui, you’re too polite. It’s good to help each other. Today, I helped you. If there’s a need in the future, I hope that you’ll lend me a helping hand as well,” Yu Yunxi said.
Jian Xin sighed in relief when she heard Yu Yunxi’s honest words. Her smile also seemed more sincere now as she said, “Alright. If you need any help in the future, please let me know. As long as it’s within my ability, I’ll definitely help you.”
If Yu Yunxi helped her without asking for anything in return, Jian Xin would have felt uneasy. However, since Yu Yunxi was so honest, she felt relieved.
Finally, Jian Xin said to her maidservant, “Lian’er, help me send the County Princess back.”
“There’s no need to go through so much trouble. I can go back on my own,” Yu
Yunxi said softly.
When Yu Yunxi walked to the door, Jian Xin suddenly thought of something and said worriedly, “County Princess, the Empress is indeed in a bad situation now. However, in a few days, the Chen family will return triumphantly. At that time, the matter between your father and the Crown Prince will be swept under the rug. You’ll be in great danger at that time…”
Although Jian Xin was a woman, she still understood the situation in the court. Although other princes seemed to have the advantage, the Empress’ family had been in power for so many years. How could they be easily defeated? When they make a comeback, it would only be more terrifying.
“I understand. Thank you for your reminder, Princess Consort,” Yu Yunxi said.
Jian Xin was still worried. She said, “In fact, you should try to ease your relationship with the Prince Regent. Although he supports the Fifth Prince now, you’re still husband and wife…”
Before Jian Xin finished speaking, Yu Yunxi said, “Princess Consort, I appreciate your kindness. I’ll take my leave now.”
After they left Marquis Jian Zhong’s Residence, Qian Mei asked solemnly,
“County Princess, do you want to investigate the relationship between Qian Qing and Marquis Jian Zhong’s Residence?”
“No. Qian Qing will be coming to the capital soon anyway. It’s better to ask her directly,” Yu Yunxi said.
“Yes. Are we going back to the Prince Regent’s Residence, County Princess?” Qian Mei asked.
“Yes.”
Yu Yunxi knew that her son was likely waiting for her return.
Yu Yunxi had just crossed the threshold of the Prince Regent’s Residence when Yu Junjin rushed over and hugged her thigh. He raised his head and said with teary eyes, “Mother, I don’t think Father will make it…”
Yu Yunxi was speechless. She crouched down and patted the little bun’s head as she asked with a helpless expression, “Do you know what you’re saying,
Junjin?”
The little bun gulped and stammered, “It… It’s just that Father reopened his wound, and he’s very uncomfortable…”
Yu Yunxi flicked the little bun’s forehead lightly as she said. “Oh. You actually learned how to lie to your mother now.”
Yu Yunxi gave birth to him and raised him. How could she not know when he was lying?
“Mother, I was wrong!” the little bun said sadly as he pouted and covered his forehead.
Yu Yunxi’s heart softened immediately upon seeing this. She no longer cared if a certain Prince Regent asked her son to do this or if her son took the initiative to do this. She sighed lightly and picked her son up as she said, “Let’s go and have a look.”
She had checked Feng Yili’s wound for a while now anyway.
When Yu Yunxi walked into the study, Feng Yili was reading a book.
He looked up when he heard the commotion and said in a hoarse voice, “You’re back.”
“Junjin, take a seat,” Yu Yunxi said to the little bun before she walked over to Feng Yili.
To her surprise, as soon as Yu Yunxi let the little bun down, he quickly ran out and closed the door behind him.
Yu Yunxi was speechless, regretting that she was soft-hearted earlier.
‘The little rascal is completely on Feng Yili’s side!’
Yu Yunxi turned around with a dark expression on her face as she asked carelessly, “How’s your wound?”
Feng Yili frowned and said, “I won’t die.”
Yu Yunxi did not care about him and reached out to remove his clothes.
However, she soon discovered that his chest was extremely hot to the touch. Her expression changed drastically as she continued to touch his face, arms, and wrists. They were all very, very hot.
After a brief inspection, she found that his wound was showing signs of infection. She asked angrily, “Feng Yili, didn’t you take the medicine as I instructed?”
“You promised me that you’ll be responsible for treating my injuries, but you forgot about me for two days,” Feng Yili said coldly.
Yu Yunxi was so angry that she could feel the veins on her temples throbbing. She really did not expect him to be shameless. In fact, her son had also done something like this before.
Yu Yunxi frowned as she removed his clothes. If the wound worsened, Tianxia Country would lose its Prince Regent. She quickly brought her needles out to draw out the blood before she applied medicine for him.
While Yu Yunxi treated Feng Yili’s wound, he watched her silently. He felt as though he had returned to the time five years ago when she treated him while he was unconscious.. He could not help but wonder inwardly, ‘Why can’t we return to the past?’
