Feng Yili heard these words as soon as he arrived. His footsteps froze, and his gaze darkened. After a long time, he said with great difficulty, “I… naturally remember…”

“How strange. Why don’t I remember anything? Is it because the matter is so trivial so I didn’t pay attention to it?” Yu Yunxi frowned.

At this moment, something flashed in Yu Yunxi’s mind, and she felt a sharp pain in her head. She held her head for a moment before she said softly, “Right, I remember now. The Empress Dowager summoned us over to talk about including Junjin’s name in the imperial family tree and Feng Weiping’s marriage….”

“I guess I’m still groggy. Alright, both of you can chat. I’m going to look for Junjin first,” Yu Yunxi said calmly before she left.

Feng Yili looked at Yu Yunxi’s back, and his expression grew increasingly dark.

‘Groggy? Is that possible? Yesterday, the doctor said that her condition was strange. There’s nothing wrong with her, but she was unconscious… If this happens again, it’ll be dangerous…’

“What’s wrong, Yili?” Luo Xiuran, who was unaware of what was going on, asked curiously as he fanned himself.

Feng Yili exhaled and said, “It’s nothing.”

Then, he asked, “I asked you to keep an eye on the Imperial Preceptor. What’s the situation? When is he arriving in the capital?”

Luo Xiuran folded his fan and leaned over before he said in a low voice, “If you didn’t mention this, I would’ve forgotten about it. I came to tell you about this. Nan Xun is leaving this afternoon. The Imperial Preceptor will likely arrive tonight. The Emperor is preparing to welcome him back.”

There would likely be a bloody storm once the Imperial Preceptor returned.

“I understand. Continue to keep an eye on him. If there are any abnormalities, let me know immediately,” Feng Yili replied.

“Alright.”

At noon.

The streets are very lively. The commoners gathered and discussed among themselves.

“I heard that the Emperor bestowed the Fourth Princess with a huge dowry.

None of the princesses of the past can compare to her…”

Not far away, Nan Xun rode on a horse while more than ten carriages followed behind him.

Feng Weiping sat in one of the carriages, gritting her teeth. She did not want to marry Nan Xun at all. She wanted to escape, but the palace maids the Emperor had sent were keeping a close eye on her. All of them were highly skilled in martial arts so she had no chance of escaping at all.

One of the palace maids said lightly, “Fourth Princess, you’re going to be the

Crown Princess of Nanyue. The Emperor, the Empress, and the Empress Dowager have already made up their minds. You shouldn’t have any other thoughts…”

‘Grandmother also supports my marriage to Nanxun? As expected, there’s no kinship in the imperial family. They only care about benefits!’

Feng Weiping was filled with hatred when she heard the palace maid’s words.

At this moment, clopping sounds from a horse’s hooves rang in the air.

Subsequently, Yu Yongnian’s cold voice sounded.

“I’ve been ordered by the Emperor to escort Crown Prince Nan and the Fourth Princess out of the capital.”

Upon hearing Yu Yongnian’s voice, Feng Weiping could not contain her excitement at all. She lifted the curtain and asked, “General Yu, did you come to stop me from marrying into Nanyue’s imperial family?”

Yu Yongnian glanced at her and calmly replied, “Fourth Princess, I’ve told you many times that I don’t have any feelings for you. You’re about to become the

Crown Princess of Nanyue. Please be careful with your words.”

Feng Weiping gripped her handkerchief tightly and said anxiously, “Nonsense! How could you not have any feelings for me? Are you worried about the difference between our statuses? Don’t worry. As long as you nod your head now, I’ll ask Imperial Father for a marriage with you at all costs!” Yu Yongnian’s frown deepened.

‘What did I do wrong to give her the false impression that I like her?’

Yu Yongnian said expressionlessly, “Fourth Princess, I had no feelings for you in the past, and I have no feelings for you now. Your marriage to Crown Prince Nan is already set in stone. Whether you’re willing or not, you’ll have to marry him. To be honest, I only came today because of the Emperor’s order. He wanted me to make sure that you don’t escape.”

“You…”

Feng Weiping’s eyes turned red. She did not expect Yu Yongnian to be so cruel.

At this time, Nan Xun rode his horse over. He glanced at Feng Weiping and said with a sneer, “Alright. Are you done catching up, future Crown Princess? We have to set off now.’

When Feng Weiping saw Nan Xun, she did not care that there were still people around her as she quickly leaned out, saying anxiously, “Crown Prince Nan, don’t you hate Yu Yunxi? I’ll help you deal with Yu Yunxi as long as you don’t marry me.”

Yu Yongnian’s expression darkened immediately when he heard these words.

Nan Xun sneered. “Indeed, in the past, I really hated Yu Yunxi. Who knows why, but recently, I found her much pleasing to the eye.”

Nan Xun did not have long to live now. He had to spend his time on more important things. He could no longer bother with Yu Yunxi. Moreover, he had no intention of letting Feng Weiping go. She was Feng Yijin’s daughter after all.

“Alright, let’s go,” Nan Xun said, turning his horse around.

At this time, one of the carriages near him began to shake violently.

Upon seeing this, Nan Xun’s eyes darkened, and he said unhappily, “Third Brother, I understand you’re excited about returning to Nanyue, but you should calm down.”

In the carriage, Liu Xiaolan’s hands and feet were bound, and his mouth was gagged. He became even more enraged when he heard Nan Xun’s words. He had already made it very clear that he did not want to return to Nanyue, but Nan Xun had shamelessly kidnapped him.

At the same time, Yu Yunxi and Feng Yili stood on a tall building nearby. At this time, both of them had noticed the abnormality of that carriage.

Yu Yunxi turned to Feng Yili and asked softly, “I think Liu Xiaolan is in that carriage. Should we go and save him?”

She did not expect Nan Xun to bring Liu Xiaolan away with him.

“No need,” Feng Yili said without hesitation.

“No matter how Liu Xiaolan tries to escape, he’ll still be the Third Prince of Nanyue. He’s been escaping for so many years. It’s time for him to face it,” Feng Yili explained.

‘Indeed..

Yu Yunxi nodded in agreement.

Liu Xiaolan could not continue living like that. Perhaps if he returned to Nanyue, he would be able to forget Gao Shixuan. “What about Gao Zixiu?”

“Junior Aunt is taking care of him. Don’t worry.”

“That’s good..

Yu Yunxi sighed in relief. However, she was still worried about Liu Xiaolan’s safety.

“Nanyue isn’t safe. What if Liu Xiaolan..

“Don’t worry. He was taught by Master. No matter how bad he is, he can’t be that bad. Moreover, Nan Xun, who’s about to die, still needs him to help him seek revenge,” Feng Yili said reassuringly.

Yu Yunxi nodded. “You’re right. I hope he’ll protect Liu Xiaolan well…”

Although Liu Xiaolan had done many foolish things because of Gao Shixuan, he was not a bad person. Yu Yunxi naturally did not want any harm to come to him
