Yu Yunxi’s temples throbbed.

‘It seems like the Emperor wants him dead even more… I wonder what kind of trouble I’d get into for helping him…’

As though he could read Yu Yunxi’s mind, Feng Yili looked at her with his dark eyes and asked hoarsely, “Eldest Princess, do you regret helping me?”

Yu Yunxi scoffed. “Regret it? No. It doesn’t matter what I do; the Emperor will not tolerate my existence. My situation isn’t much better than yours.”

Feng Yili did not refute her words, and he only looked at her with a gentle gaze. ‘Her situation in Xichu isn’t easy, and I took so long to find her…’

Feng Yili felt extremely regretful that he did not find Yu Yunxi sooner, causing her to suffer so much.

“Alright, we’re already a distance away from the imperial palace. King of Youshan, please get off the carriage,” Yu Yunxi said bluntly, ordering him to leave.

Unexpectedly, Feng Yili did not protest. He only nodded before he left the carriage.

At this time, Meng Xia heard the commotion as well. She turned around and finally saw Feng Yili. She was thoroughly shocked.

“Eldest Princess!”

“I’m fine. Let the King of Youshan leave,” Yu Yunxi said calmly from inside the carriage.

Although Meng Xia had many questions in her heart, she could only watch Feng Yili leave.

Feng Yili had only taken a few steps when Jiang Ying and the others appeared.

“Your Royal Highness.”

At the same time, Yu Yunxi said from inside the carriage, “The Emperor won’t let this go so easily. I hope that the King of Youshan will look after himself.

After all, you can only repay me for saving your life today if you’re alive, right?”

Feng Yili knew that Yu Yunxi saved him tonight because of the Crimson Flame Army, but he was still very satisfied. He smiled gently as he replied in a low voice, “Of course. I’ll definitely live for a long time so I can always repay the Eldest Princess.”

‘Always repay me? What does that even mean?’

Yu Yunxi frowned when she heard his words.

At this time, Meng Xia could no longer hold back her questions. She asked consecutively, worried, “Eldest Princess, are you okay? Why is the King of Youshan in your carriage? Did he do anything to you?”

Yu Yunxi massaged her head. She knew Meng Xia would be worried so she did not tell her about it earlier. She explained calmly, “He’s injured. He owes me a favor now that I’ve saved him.’

A favor from the King of Youshan was undoubtedly very advantageous for her.

“But, can we trust someone like the King of Youshan?” Meng Xia asked, still worried.

“Meng Xia, I think he’s… very different from the rumors. Perhaps he can be trusted, ” Yu Yunxi said.

Meng Xia gradually calmed down after hearing these words. She believed in Yu

Yunxi’s judgment.

Meanwhile, in the King of Zhenbei’s Residence.

Yu Xiaoxiao and the others had already arrived.

“Father, Mother, what are we going to do? Are we really going to give up our home?” Yu Xiaoxiao asked angrily, stomping her foot.

Madam Shang also expressed her anger, saying, “That’s right. We’ve always been in charge of the King of Zhenbei’s Residence! Now that Yu Yunxi is back, she thinks she can snatch it away from us?”

Yu Feng’s expression was very ugly as he said through gritted teeth, “Enough. Calm down. Earlier, Yu Yunxi said she wanted to move back to the residence.

She didn’t say that she wanted us to move out. This shows that she also knows her actions are wrong…”

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaoxiao clapped her hands excitedly and said, “I understand! This means she only intends to stay in the King of Zhenbei’s Residence as a guest, right?”

“Regardless of her intention, we’ve always been in charge of the King of Zhenbei’s Residence. She has no reason to chase us out,” Yu Feng said expressionlessly.

Madam Shang nodded in agreement. “That’s right. Although the Emperor Emeritus helped her tonight and she caught everyone’s attention tonight, how old is the Emperor Emeritus? How long can he protect her? Therefore, she still needs to share honor and disgrace with us in the future. If she dares to chase us out, there’ll be a storm. The Emperor, the Empress, and even the First Master won’t allow her to do such a thing.”

Yu Xiaoxiao’s mood improved immediately. Then, she said mysteriously, “By the way, Father, Mother, didn’t you say that Princess Changning was only

Eldest Uncle’s fiancee? The two of them were not officially married so Princess Changning was not the legitimate wife of the King of Zhenbei. This means that

Yu Yunxi is…”

Madam Shang naturally understood Yu Xiaoxiao’s meaning. She said, “Yu Yunxi might not even be the First Master’s daughter. Think about it, Princess Changning could even murder her own father. Her character is truly…”

Madam Shang did not finish her words and only clicked her tongue disapprovingly.

“That’s right! Princess Changning was away from the capital for so many years, and she suddenly had a daughter. It’s said that Yu Yunxi is Eldest Uncle’s daughter. They’re just trying to force Eldest Uncle to be Yu Yunxi’s father. I’m sure Eldest Uncle refused to come back for so long because he’s angry about this matter,” Yu Xiaoxiao said seriously.

Madam Shang grew more and more excited as she said, “Indeed. The Emperor Emeritus must have thought that a lowly child would bring shame to the imperial family so he lied to everyone and said that Yu Yunxi is Eldest Uncle’s daughter. Eldest Uncle is really pitiful…’

Yu Feng said lightly, agreeing with Yu Xiaoxiao and Madam Shang, “What can we do? After all, Princess Changning was a member of the imperial family. Our Yu family can only suffer this loss…’

Yu Feng looked in the northwest direction and sighed emotionally before he continued to say, “Eldest Brother has suffered in the border city. We have to guard the residence for him. We can’t allow Yu Yunxi to occupy it.”

“Don’t worry. If she dares to be heartless, I’ll publicize her origin and her mother’s scandal!” Madam Shang said with a sneer as she patted her chest.

“She’s the Eldest Princess after all. What if we…” Yu Feng was a little hesitant.

Madam Shang scoffed. “Eldest Princess? Just wait and see. The Emperor, the Empress, the Empress Dowager, the Crown Prince, and the others… Which of them welcomes her? Who knows? She might die in two months. If we stand against her, we might even leave a good impression on the Emperor and the

Empress…”

Yu Xiaoxiao clapped her hands excitedly and nodded in agreement. “That’s right, Father. We don’t have to be afraid of her. She’s the Eldest Princess, but I’ll be the future Crown Princess eventually…”

Yu Yunxi’s carriage pulled to a stop in front of the entrance of the King of Zhenbei’s Residence at this moment. She lifted the curtain and alighted from the carriage.

When Madam Shang saw this, her eyes glinted coldly. However, she forced a smile on her face and sashayed over, saying, “Yunxi, it’s you. You’re finally here to visit. We’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”

Yu Yunxi narrowed her eyes. The corners of her lips curled up slightly as she said expressionlessly, “Second Aunt, I think you’ve made a mistake.. What do you mean by I’m finally here to visit? Don’t you mean that I’ve finally returned?”
