Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

‘G-grandfather?’

Yu Yunxi’s heart skipped a beat. Just as she was about to turn around to face the situation, Feng Yili, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes.

Feng Yili’s big and warm hand grabbed Yu Yunxi’s slightly cold hand as he said hoarsely, “Let me explain this to our grandfather.”

Chu Ruishi was angered by these words. He said mockingly, “Our grandfather?

Ha, I’m not qualified to be the grandfather of the Prince Regent of Tianxia!”

Feng Yili sat up and held Yu Yunxi’s hand, silently comforting her. Then, he let go of her hand and walked toward Chu Ruishi. When he arrived in front of Chu Ruishi, he kneeled down without any hesitation.

Yu Yunxi and Chu Ruishi’s expressions changed when they saw Feng Yili kneeling.

Even Xiao Shici, who was standing next to Chu Ruishi, widened his eyes imperceptibly.

“Feng Yili!”

Yu Yunxi ran over anxiously to help Feng Yili up, worried that he would aggravate his injuries.

Feng Yili shook his head at Yu Yunxi gently before he said hoarsely, “I’ve let Grandfather down. I deceived him, and I also didn’t protect his granddaughter and great-grandson well. I’m in the wrong.”

After that, Feng Yili turned to Chu Ruishi and said seriously, “Previously, I had no choice but to deceive the Emperor Emeritus. However, every word I said earlier is true. I definitely won’t shirk responsibility. No matter how you punish me, I have no complaints.”

Chu Ruishi looked at Feng Yili and asked, “You really won’t have any complaints no matter how I punish you?”

“That’s right,” Feng Yili said firmly as he nodded.

“Then what if I want you to leave Yunxi?” Chu Ruishi asked coldly.

Feng Yili shook his head, “I can do anything but that.”

Chu Ruishi laughed in anger before he said, “Because of you, my granddaughter was buried along with you. Not only that, but she almost died three months ago. If it were not for her luck and Shici’s help, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to meet her in this life. I can’t forgive you for your mistakes unless you suffer the same thing she had suffered.”

“Okay.”

Feng Yili agreed quickly. He took a dagger out and decisively stabbed his shoulder. Once was not enough, he stabbed himself another time.

By the time Yu Yunxi reacted, Feng Yili had already stabbed himself three times, and his shoulder was drenched with blood. Seeing that he was about to stab himself again, she hurriedly snatched the dagger away and shouted, “Feng Yili, are you crazy?”

Yu Yunxi quickly tore her dress again and bandaged Feng Yili’s wound to staunch the blood. Her heart ached. Tears welled up in her eyes and trickled down her face.

Although Feng Yili was in pain, he reached out and patiently wiped the tears off Yu Yunxi’s face. He said guiltily, “Don’t cry. It doesn’t hurt. This is what I should bear. I didn’t protect you well and made you and Junjin suffer.”

“No, it’s not like that…”

Yu Yunxi shook her head. Then, she turned around and looked at Chu Ruishi before she said seriously and firmly, “Grandfather, I used to blame Feng Yili too. I felt that all of Junjin and my suffering were caused by him. However, after we met again, I realized that it wasn’t like that at all. He was also a victim of what happened back then. He had been thinking of ways to protect Junjin and me.”

After listening to Yu Yunxi’s sincere words and looking at Feng Yili’s bloodstained robe, Chu Ruishi seemed to be in a daze. A hint of pain could be seen in the depths of his eyes.

At this moment, Xiao Shici said tactfully, “Emperor Emeritus, I’ll take my leave first.

After nodding at Chu Ruishi, Xiao Shici left.

Chu Ruishi could not help but sigh inwardly as he looked at Xiao Shici’s back.

‘This child is really trustworthy. It’s a pity he has no fate with Yunxi. Yunxi’s temper is really similar to that of Changning. If I force her to do something she doesn’t want to do, she’ll probably react like Changning…’

Chu Ruishi let out a long sigh before he sat weakly on the chair next to him, looking deflated.

Li Xu patted Chu Ruishi’s back and said worriedly, “Emperor Emeritus, you have to look after your health.”

Chu Ruishi said, mocking himself, “Heh, this broken body won’t last much longer.”

“Grandfather…” Yu Yunxi called out worriedly.

Chu Ruishi shook his head and said, “Don’t worry. I won’t die yet. I won’t be willing to die until I see you getting married smoothly.”

Chu Ruishi looked as though he was lost in his memories as he continued to say, “You really resemble your mother a lot. Back then, I also arranged a marriage for her. You already know the matter with the Xiao family, right? Your maternal grandmother met with an accident in order to protect me back then. I didn’t want your mother to follow in your grandmother’s footsteps so I arranged for her to marry a prince from Beixiao to protect her…”

“The reclusive Xiao family and the imperial family of Beixiao had some connections many years ago. The Xiao family will not harm the imperial family of Beixiao. It was the best choice for your mother to marry into the imperial family of Beixiao.”

“However, she and your father kneeled in front of me at that time and swore that they would never be separated. She said that marrying into the imperial family of Beixiao was equivalent to killing her. She promised to be careful and that she wouldn’t let the Xiao family succeed… Who knew that later on…”

At this point, tears were already streaming down Chu Ruishi’s face. An old man with white hair was now crying like a child.

Chu Ruishi shook his head and continued to say with a sorrowful expression, “However, the fault lies with me. Back then, I failed to protect your grandmother, and later on, I also failed to protect your mother. Today, seeing you kneeling with Feng Yili, it feels like I’ve been transported back to the time when I made a choice back then..

Chu Ruishi naturally knew it was cruel to force Feng Yili and Yu Yunxi to separate. However, he really did not want tragedy to repeat itself.

“Yunxi, you’ve lost your memory. The past is no longer important. Can you try to let go of this relationship?” Chu Ruishi persuaded Yu Yunxi sadly.

Yu Yunxi’s situation was different from that of Chu Changning back then.

When Chu Changning pleaded with Chu Ruishi to be with the King of Zhenbei, Chu Changning had yet to lose her memories. In Chu Ruishi’s opinion, Yu Yunxi had already lost her memories. As long as she gritted her teeth and stopped probing into the past, she could pretend that nothing happened. However, he was stunned by Yu Yunxi’s words in the next moment.

“Grandfather, actually, I’ve already regained my memories. I remember everything that happened in the past clearly.”

Chu Ruishi stood up in shock and ran over, asking, “What? You’ve regained your memories?”

Chu Ruishi held Yu Yunxi’s arm. He could not conceal his excitement at all.. He asked again, “Did you really regain your memories?”
