Five Years Later, She Bombarded the Palace with a Miniature Version of the Regent-Chapter 20
Stay Away From the Yu Family
Feng Weizhou strode toward Yu Yunxi. He said, “Yunxi, I knew you wouldn’t die so easily.”
Feng Weizhou spoke as though they were very familiar with each other.
Yu Yunxi could not help but feel disgusted. She said with a fake smile, “Your Royal Highness, the people who should’ve died haven’t died yet so how can I die?”
Feng Weizhou was not put off by Yu Yunxi’s words. He stood in front of her and said guiltily, “Back then, that incident happened so suddenly. When you were sent to the Imperial Mausoleum by the people from the Prince Regent’s Residence, I happened to be away from the capital to attend to some matters. Otherwise, I would have stopped them.”
Yu Yunxi could not help but laugh. Five years had passed, but Feng Weizhou, the Crown Prince, was still hypocritical. She had not forgotten the reason Yu Wanrong was able to enter the Imperial Mausoleum back then was due to his reminder. She looked at Feng Weizhou and said sarcastically, “Your Royal Highness, I’ve already lost the warm jade, but you still care about me.”
Feng Weizhou’s eyes darkened, and the smile on his face faded. However, he quickly regained his gentle appearance and said, “Is this what you think of me? It makes me sad.”
Yu Yunxi was not in the mood to act with Feng Weizhou. Before walking past him, she said, “Farewell.”
“Your Royal Highness, how dare she treats you like this? I’ll…” Feng Weizhou’s maidservant said indignantly.
“No,” Feng Weizhou interjected. His smile vanished completely, and his expression was cold.
“Your Royal Highness?”
“Her value is much higher than that of Yu Wanrong,” Feng Weizhou said as he looked at Yu Yunxi’s back meaningfully.
…
After walking away, Qian Jiao said indignantly, “That scumbag! I’ll help you chop him up sooner or later!”
Yu Yunxi glanced at Qian Jiao and said, “Don’t act rashly. The Emperor’s sons, whether it’s the Third Prince, Fifth Prince, or Sixth Prince, are all extremely outstanding. However, Feng Weizhou is able to firmly grasp the position of the Crown Prince for so many years.”
“I understand, Master. I was rash,” Qian Jiao hurriedly apologized.
Yu Yunxi continued to walk. Suddenly, a large hand reached out toward her. She tried to dodge but failed because the other party was extremely fast.
The other party grabbed Yu Yunxi and pulled her to the back of the courtyard.
“Master!” Qian Jiao called out anxiously.
Just as Qian Jiao was about to rush to Yu Yunxi, a figure blocked her path.
“Don’t worry,” Jiang Ying said expressionlessly, “His Royal Highness has something to say to the County Princess.”
…
On the other side, Yu Yunxi finally realized that the person who pulled her away was none other than Feng Yili. She scolded coldly, “A good dog should not block people’s paths. Prince Regent, you should be with my sister now. Why are you bothering me?”
Feng Yili was not in a hurry to answer Yu Yunxi. He pushed her against the wall, and his tall body stood in front of her, blocking the light. Then, he looked down at her with his dark eyes. When she tried to struggle, he quickly grabbed her hands.
Feng Yili was so strong that Yu Yunxi could not break free at all.
‘Isn’t he leaning too close?’
Yu Yunxi averted her eyes awkwardly. After all, this was the first time she was so close to the conscious Feng Yili. His aura was extremely imposing and overwhelming.
Feng Yili stared at her and asked in a hoarse voice, “Why… Why did you come back?”
‘Why did I come back? Does he think I shouldn’t come back?’
Yu Yunxi’s anger, which she had suppressed with great difficulty, finally erupted. She said with a sneer, “Prince Regent, I was born and raised in the capital. It’s not too much for me to come back and have a look, right? Also, don’t forget my current identity. I came here on behalf of the King of Xinan’s Residence.”
Yu Yunxi continued to say, “If you don’t like it and feel like I’ll affect your relationship with Yu Wanrong, you can report it to the Emperor and have him send me back to Xinan. It’s not difficult for you to do such a thing. After all, you’ve protected Prime Minister Yu in court very well all these years and helped him rise to the top. Isn’t it all just to make my sister smile? The matter between you and my sister has spread all over the country, and I’ve also heard about it. Don’t worry. I know my place, and I have no intention to obstruct the two of you. We didn’t have a deep relationship back then anyway. I have no reason to disturb your happiness.”
Yu Yunxi did not give Feng Yili a chance to speak at all. She did not even realize how her words had given away her resentment.
After Yu Yunxi was done baring her fangs and brandishing her claws, Feng Yili raised an eyebrow and asked in a deep voice, “Are you done?”
Seeing Feng Yili’s lack of emotions, Yu Yunxi felt as though she had just punched cotton. She was angered to the point of death, but he did not care at all. She collected herself and said stonily, “I’m done. Prince Regent, will you let me go now?”
Unexpectedly, not only did Feng Yili not let go, but he also leaned closer to Yu Yunxi.
The peerless face was just right in front of Yu Yunxi. His eyes and his nose were just half a finger away from her. Her heart began to pound in her chest again. Her mind seemed to have returned to five years ago in the Imperial Mausoleum. She had once tried to save him with all her might, but now… The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Finally, the waves in her eyes disappeared, and no emotions could be seen on her face at all. She said calmly, “Prince Regent…”
Feng Yili interjected, “I don’t care why you came back, but stay away from the Yu family.”
‘Stay away from the Yu family?’
Yu Yunxi laughed in anger. The anger and resentment in her heart felt as though they were going to explode at this moment. She said mockingly, “What? Are you afraid that I’ll hurt your sweetheart? You’re really great.”
Feng Yili’s eyes darkened when he heard the sounds of Yu Yunxi gnashing her teeth. There were words he wanted to say, but in the end, he did not say them out loud.
Yu Yunxi’s laughed sarcastically again when Feng Yili did not refute her words after a long time. Finally, she said, “You have people you want to protect, and I also have people I want to protect. Perhaps, we’ll be enemies in the future.”
Yu Yunxi could not help but laugh at the irony. The person she had risked her life to save back then would become her enemy in the end. In the past, she had always thought that her mother was a bad judge of character and that the people she saved were worse than the last. She did not expect that she would be the same.
Seeing the hatred and killing intent in Yu Yunxi’s eyes, Feng Yili was slightly taken aback.
Yu Yunxi seized the chance and freed herself. She moved nimbly and got away from his arms. Then, she said, “By the way, Prince Regent, since we’re going to be enemies, please return my things to me.”
Yu Yunxi was referring to the jade that her mother left her. Back then, she had left the jade with Feng Yili before leaving the Imperial Mausoleum to look for people to save him. However, at that time, there was an assassination attempt.
Yu Yunxi was determined to get the jade back. After all, her mother had left it to her. This was also one of the reasons she had returned to the capital.
“Your things? What is it?” Feng Yili looked at her indifferently as though he did not know what she was talking about.
Yu Yunxi’s anger burned hot again. She said through gritted teeth, “The jade pendant.”
“I don’t have it.”
“Although you’re the Prince Regent, there should still be limits when you lie!”
“If I say I don’t have it, then I don’t have it.”
“You! Very well. You don’t have it!” Yu Yunxi snapped. She clenched her hands tightly and turned to leave.
