Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Feng Yili quickly looked away as though he did not intend to continue this topic.

They searched half the capital, but they could not find a suitable shop.

Finally, an old man mustered up his courage before he asked, “Your Royal

Highness the Eldest Princess, are you looking for a shop?”

“Yes, I’m looking to open a medical hall,” Yu Yunxi said, trying her best to soften her tone.

“My young miss is looking to sell the shop her mother left her. Perhaps you can have a look,” the old man said nervously.

“Your young miss?” Yu Yunxi raised an eyebrow. Usually, things that mothers left for their daughters were used as dowries. She wondered if the other party’s life was difficult so the other party needed to sell the shop.

“My young miss is nearby. I’ll look for her now,” the old man said before he quickly left.

Soon enough, a young woman, whose hair was tied up high, appeared.

‘It’s her? Unexpectedly, it’s Qu Yu..

“Qu Yu greets the Eldest Princess and the King of Youshan,” Qu Yu said with a bow.

Yu Yunxi quickly helped Qu Yu up and asked, slightly puzzled, “Miss Qu, you’re planning to sell your shop?”

An embarrassed expression appeared on Qu Yu’s face as she said in a low voice, “I didn’t expect it’s the Eldest Princess who wants to buy the shop. Indeed, I plan to sell the shop. It’s located on a bustling street and has been empty for a while. It’s very suitable to be used as a medical hall.”

“That’s good. If it’s suitable, then the price won’t be a problem,” Yu Yunxi said with a nod.

“Eldest Princess, this way please,” Qu Yu said before leading Yu Yunxi and the others away.

Yu Yunxi looked at Qu Yu’s side profile a few times. She wanted to ask if Qu Yu was selling the shop because Qu Yu had encountered some difficulties.

However, she quickly dismissed the idea. Considering that she had only known Qu Yu for a short time, it would be inappropriate and offensive to ask such a question.

When they arrived in front of a shop, Qu Yu turned around and said to Yu Yunxi, “There’s also a residence in the backyard. It’s very convenient.”

Then, Qu Yu brought the key out and opened the door.

The shop was very spacious. It was clear that it had been empty for some time, but it was very clean.

“Let’s have a look at the backyard,” Yu Yunxi said. With a residence at the back, it could accommodate seriously ill people.

“Alright, Eldest Princess,” Qu Yu said with a nod before she led Yu Yunxi to the backyard.

As Qu Yu pushed the door to the back residence open, she said, “I’ve lived here before. There are many rooms here, and they’re also furnished. It’s very convenient if you intend to let people stay here…”

Meanwhile, as soon as Qu Yu pushed the door open, Yu Yunxi heard the sounds of very subtle movements.

At the same time, Feng Yili called out grimly from behind, “Be careful!” fre enovelkiss.com

In the next moment, Feng Yili wrapped his arm around Yu Yunxi’s waist before he pulled her behind him.

On the other hand, Qu Yu also reacted very quickly. She was indeed the daughter of a general. She quickly leaned to the side, turning her face away as a long arrow flew past her ear and stabbed straight into a pillar.

Qu Yu pulled out the long whip at her waist and looked around with a sharp gaze.

“Who is it?”

Luo Xiuran, Meng Xia, and the others also drew their swords and looked around warily.

Qu Yu said solemnly, “Eldest Princess, please leave quickly. I’ll deal with the danger first.”

If anything happened to Yu Yunxi here, Qu Yu would have to pay with her life.

“It’s too late,” Yu Yunxi said lightly.

At this time, many men dressed in black rushed over from all directions, blocking the escape route.

The leader of the men in black shouted, “Kill!”

Following that, the men in black rushed toward Yu Yunxi.

“Protect the Eldest Princess,” Qu Yu said solemnly. She and her two maidservants rushed over to Yu Yunxi’s side immediately.

‘Are they here for me?’ Yu Yunxi thought to herself, frowning slightly. She drew the soft sword at her waist and prepared to face the enemy.

At this moment, Feng Yili grabbed Yu Yunxi’s wrist lightly and said, “There’s no need for you to personally deal with such a trivial matter. They’re just small

fry…’

‘Small fry?’

The men in black felt angry and humiliated when they heard Feng Yili’s words. With this, their attacks grew even more ruthless.

However, Feng Yili’s description of the men in black was proven right. They tried their best, but they could not even touch the corner of Yu Yunxi’s dress. They were quickly killed by Luo Xiuran, Qu Yu, Meng Xia, and the others. At this time, Feng Yili said in a low voice, “Luo Xiuran, leave one alive.” Feng Yili wanted to see who was so bold as to plot against Yu Yunxi.

“Okay.”

The man in Luo Xiuran’s hand happened to be the last survivor. He tried to restrain the man, but he was still a step too late. In a blink of an eye, the man committed suicide. He turned to Feng Yili and said gloomily, “Yi… King of

Youshan, he’s dead.”

Feng Yili’s gaze darkened.

Meanwhile, Qu Yu wiped the blood off her face before she kneeled in front of Yu Yunxi. She said guiltily, “Eldest Princess, I’m sorry. It’s my fault for bringing you here and putting you in danger.”

“You don’t have to take this matter to heart. It’s not your fault,” Yu Yunxi replied. Seeing that Qu Yu showed no signs of getting up, she looked at Qu Yu’s two maidservants and said, “Hurry up and help your young miss up.”

The two maidservants reacted quickly and moved to help Qu Yu up. Suddenly, a vicious expression flashed on one of the maidservants’ faces. Without any warning, she brought out a dagger hidden in her sleeve and stabbed it toward

Yu Yunxi.

“Go to hell!”

“Eldest Princess!”

“Yunxi!”

At the critical moment, Feng Yili reached out and pushed the maidservant back. Yu Yunxi took advantage of the situation and kicked the dagger away.

The maidservant was injured. When she fell to the ground, she wanted to bite her tongue to commit suicide.

However, how could Yu Yunxi give the other party such a chance? A few silver needles shot out from her hand, rendering the maidservant immobile.

“Qingqiu, you…” Qu Yu looked at her maidservant in shock and disbelief.

Yu Yunxi looked at the maidservant and asked icily, “Tell me, who instructed you to assassinate me?”

Wang Qingqiu shouted angrily, “Who do you think you are? The Eldest

Princess? You’re not the Emperor’s daughter, you’re the daughter of a sinner! Princess Changning deserved to die and so do you! If you stay in the capital, who knows if you’ll try to murder the Emperor Emeritus? The Qu family can’t tolerate a sinner like you!”

‘Sinner? Qu family?’

Everyone began to sense that something was wrong when they heard these words.

“Qingqiu, what do you mean?” Qu Yu asked in shock.

Wang Qingqiu seemed to realize she had said something wrong at this moment. She quickly looked away and said, “I won’t say anything.”

Feng Yili finally lost his patience at this moment. He said frostily, “Jiang Ying, use torture.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

Jiang Ying did not waste time and began to torture Wang Qingqiu.

Qu Yu’s heart was very heavy when she saw this scene. After all, Wang Qingqiu had been serving her since she was young. She really did not understand why Wang Qingqiu wanted to assassinate Yu Yunxi.

‘What happened exactly?’

Wang Qingqiu’s body was soon riddled with wounds. Although she was on the verge of death, she still refused to confess.

At this moment, Yu Yunxi brought a pill out and said, “I have a pill here. It’ll make people tell the truth…

“It’s so magical?” Meng Xia exclaimed in surprise.

“Your name is Jiang Ying, right? Let her eat this,” Yu Yunxi said to Jiang Ying.

Jiang Ying was overjoyed when he heard Yu Yunxi addressing him. He quickly nodded and said, “Yes, Princess Co… Eldest Princess..”

Seeing Jiang Ying approaching her with the pill, Wang Qingqiu turned her face away and said stubbornly, “I’m not eating that!” 𝑓𝑟𝘦𝘦𝓌𝘦𝑏𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Jiang Ying grabbed Wang Qingqiu’s chin and forced the pill into her mouth. In just a moment, Wang Qingqiu’s face contorted in pain. Then, a confused expression appeared on her face.

“Speak. Who sent you to kill me?” Yu Yunxi asked coldly.

Wang Qingqiu’s voice rang clearly in the air as she replied, “It’s the general..”
