Yu’er had only left for a short while before Meng Xia came into the study. Meng Xia asked respectfully, “Eldest Princess, do you have any orders for me?”

“Meng Xia, not many of the books you found me have information about

Tianxia. Why don’t you tell me in detail what you know about Tianxia?” Yu Yunxi asked as she looked at Meng Xia with a pair of beautiful eyes that were devoid of emotions at this moment.

Meng Xia’s expression changed drastically.

‘The Eldest Princess seems to have… found out something.’

Yu Yunxi continued to say in a deceptively nonchalant tone, “I heard that the Princess Regent of the Prince Regent of Tianxian, who’s known as the god of war, has the exact same name as me.”

Meng Xia’s expression was tense, but when she heard these words, she actually felt relieved. She exhaled and said seriously, “Eldest Princess, did you guess that you’re the Princess Regent of Tianxia?”

“Mm.”

Yu Yunxi nodded.

Meng Xia’s expression was complicated as she said, “You’re right. However, the Emperor Emeritus hopes that you can sever all ties with Tianxia. For this reason, he asked me to hide this matter from you.”

‘So I’m really Feng Yili’s Princess Consort…’

Yu Yunxi pursed her lips. For a moment, she did not know how to describe her feelings. After a moment, she said softly, “Continue. You must tell me everything about me in Tianxia.”

“Yes, Eldest Princess. Previously, the Emperor Emeritus sent people to Tianxia to investigate this matter. I was by his side at that time so I heard a thing or two about you… When Princess Changning left Xichu, she went to Tianxia…”

Meng Xia slowly told Yu Yunxi about her past. She started with Yu Yunxi’s relations with the Yu family in Tianxia and how Yu Yunxi was forced to replace Yu Wanrong to marry Feng Yili. She also made it very clear that Yu Yunxi almost died in Tianxia’s imperial mausoleum and detailed how Yu Yunxi escaped to Xinan, pregnant.

Meng Xia clenched her hands tightly as she said, “Eldest Princess, the Prince Regent of Tianxia was really too much. Not only were you forced to marry him, but he also almost caused you to die in the imperial mausoleum!”

Meng Xia felt sorry for Yu Yunxi.

“Didn’t you say that the Emperor of Tianxia was the culprit? Feng Yili was still unconscious at that time. How could he have anything to do with the matter?” Yu Yunxi said with a frown, refuting Meng Xia’s words.

Although Yu Yunxi still did not have her past memories, she just had a strong feeling that she could tolerate others slandering Feng Yili. She had similar feelings just a few days ago when she felt that she could not tolerate others slandering the King of Youshan.

Meng Xia frowned. She felt that Yu Yunxi had a point. She took a deep breath before she continued to tell Yu Yunxi everything she knew.

Yu Yunxi clutched her chest when she felt a sharp pain in her heart. She muttered, “Tell me, how sad my son must be thinking that I died?”

Meng Xia’s expression was a little sorrowful as well. She said seriously, “Eldest Princess, I know you miss the little prince a lot, but in my opinion, it’s best if you don’t reunite with him now. The Emperor Emeritus doesn’t want you to have any ties with Tianxia. After all, Princess Changning died there. If you disobey the Emperor Emeritus, not only will your situation be difficult, but you’ll also be endangering the little prince.”

Although Meng Xia was not a mother, she could understand a mother’s feelings. It was fine when Yu Yunxi was unaware of the fact that she had a child. However, now that Yu Yunxi knew about it, even if Yu Yunxi could not remember, how could she, as a mother, bear not having her child by her side?

Yu Yunxi gradually calmed down when she heard Meng Xia’s reminder.

‘That’s right. There’s still Imperial Grandfather… I really don’t know what that stubborn old man will do. However, I can’t allow my child to be harmed. I have to hide this from Imperial Grandfather!’

Finally, Yu Yunxi said coldly, “I understand. Also, you said earlier that I was schemed against by Tianxia’s Consort Qin and Imperial Preceptor. Where are they now?”

She naturally would not let go of her enemies so easily.

“Consort Qin is already dead, but the Imperial Preceptor’s whereabouts are unknown. However, don’t worry. The Emperor Emeritus is aware of the people who hurt you. He was naturally furious and has ordered people to search for the Imperial Preceptor in various countries, ” Meng Xia hurriedly replied. After that, she added, “Eldest Princess, in fact, the Emperor Emeritus cares about you very much…”

‘Cares for me? I don’t think so…

Yu Yunxi lowered her gaze to hide the emotions in her eyes. After a moment, she asked with a frown, “After I was ambushed by Consort Qin and the others, how did I escape?”

“Eldest Princess, a… a mysterious man saved you. He wrote a letter to the Emperor Emeritus to clarify your identity before he sent people to escort you back to Xichu,” Meng Xia replied.

Yu Yunxi nodded. She recalled that Meng Xia had said she was the County Princess of the King of Xinan’s Residence in Tianxia. She looked at Meng Xia and asked, “Tell me about the King of Xinan’s Residence.”

Meng Xia told Yu Yunxi about the King of Xinan’s Residence before she added, “The King of Xinan has a godson as well. He was the son of Princess Chunyang, and he took his mother’s surname. He was raised in the King of Xinan’s Residence, and the King of Xinan dotes on him a lot. However, he left the King of Xinan’s Residence a while ago, and since then, his whereabouts were unknown…” Meng Xia said in a low voice.

‘His whereabouts were unknown?’

Yu Yunxi grew even more curious about Feng Sheng. She asked, “Then do you know his whereabouts now?”

Meng Xia shook her head. “No. Like I said, he’s very mysterious…

Yu Yunxi took a deep breath. She still needed time to sort out her thoughts.

However, no matter how chaotic her mind was, one thing was clear to her. Feng Yili and her son were by her side now.

‘King of Youshan. vou keDt me in the dark for so long…’ A hint of sorrow flashed in Yu Yunxi’s eyes as she thought to herself, ‘Why is he unwilling to acknowledge me even though he’s right in front of me? I’m clearly Junjin’s mother so why didn’t Junjin reveal the truth?’

However, Yu Yunxi was not angry. Instead, she was filled with anticipation. No wonder she did not have any resistance toward the King of Youshan from the very beginning. As it turned out, they had such a relationship.

Suddenly, Yu Yunxi looked at Meng Xia with a piercing gaze and asked, “Why and how did I lose my memory?”

Yu Yunxi did not believe that she hit her head and lost her memory.

Meng Xia shook her head and replied nervously, “Eldest Princess, your situation is the same as that of Princess Changning back then. After giving birth, her memories gradually disappeared. It’s said that this is a curse of the Xiao family, and it has been around for almost a hundred years. No one has yet to break the curse..”
