After saying that, Yu Yunxi pushed him away and turned to leave. However, she suddenly thought of something and stopped in her tracks. She turned around and asked in an unfriendly tone, “Prince Regent, your wound should have healed, right? Don’t you think it’s time you return my warm jade to me?”
“I still have the Springwood Separation poison in my body so I can’t return it to you,” Feng Yili replied calmly.
“You…”
Yu Yunxi was furious. She regretted being soft-hearted toward him. If she had known then that he would cause so much trouble today, she would not have saved him back then. She walked back to him and pulled his collar as she said angrily, “Feng Yili, can you not be so shameless? The warm jade is originally mine. I saved your life!”
“I promise that I’ll return it to you after the Springwood Separation poison is detoxified,” Feng Yili said softly.
“Stop dreaming. Why do you think I didn’t get rid of the poison completely back then? That’s because I haven’t found a way to completely detoxify it,” Yu Yunxi said through gritted teeth.
However, Feng Yili did not seem worried at all. After all, his intention was not to force her to detoxify the poison for him. He could not return the warm jade to her because it was not just a simple warm jade. It could bring about a fatal disaster.
Despite his thoughts, Feng Yili said indifferently, “Then help me to suppress the poison when it acts up.”
‘Shameless!’
Yu Yunxi clenched her hands angrily. She held the silver needles, wanting to attack him.
“You can’t defeat me,” Feng Yili said as a matter of course.
Yu Yunxi was speechless. In the end, she put away the needles, feeling dispirited. After all, he had a point. She had practiced martial arts for five years, but it was not enough for her to beat him. It was not just him, but she could not gain any advantage from the black-clad figure earlier as well. As expected, it was just as her godfather said, she was too impetuous. She had to calm down to further improve. There were many people in the world, and there were many experts who were stronger than her.
Finally, Yu Yunxi said, still irritated, “Who knows how long it’ll take to suppress the poison? It’s likely that the poison will accompany you for the rest of your life.”
‘Then I hope you can continue to accompany me for the rest of my life,’ Feng Yili thought to himself as his gaze softened. However, outwardly, he said, “Half a year. Prepare half a year’s worth of medicine for me. At that time, I’ll definitely return the warm jade to you.”
‘Half a year is enough for me to deal with many things,’ Feng Yili thought to himself as his eyes flashed briefly.
‘Half a year’s worth of medicine?’
Yu Yunxi’s eyes lit up. She asked again, “Are you sure you only need half a year’s worth of medicine?”
“Yes,” Feng Yili replied, lowering his gaze.
Yu Yunxi quickly brought out a bottle of medicine and stuffed it into his hands as she said, “I have a bottle of medicine here. It should be enough for you to use this month when your poison acts up. Wait for me. I’ll gather all the herbs and refine the medicine for you.”
Half a year would pass by very quickly. She had persevered for five years; half a year was nothing.
Meanwhile, Feng Yili’s eyes surged with emotions when he saw the familiar medicine bottle. The medicine that Yu Junjin gave him was also kept in such a bottle. He opened the bottle and smelled it. As expected, it smelled the same. At that time, Yu Junjin had said that his mother obtained the medicine from a divine doctor.
Feng Yili tightened his grip on the bottle. He shifted his gaze from the bottle to the medicine before he asked, “Why didn’t you tell me that you knew Junjin?”
Yu Yunxi’s expression stiffened slightly when she heard these words. After a
moment, she said, “This is a family matter of the King of Xinan’s Residence. There’s no need for you to know this matter, Your Royal Highness.”
‘Family matters? So am I an outsider?’
Feng Yili pursed his lips, feeling a sharp pain in his heart. He continued to ask in a hoarse voice, “You came to the palace tonight to avenge Junjin, right?”
Yu Yunxi did not expect him to guess her motive for sneaking into the imperial palace. She said, “Yes, I came here to teach Feng Weigeng a lesson. Why? Are you going to avenge your nephew?”
She looked at him stubbornly, raising her chin. If Feng Yili were to argue with her about this, she would not back down. No one could get away unscathed after hurting her son.
Feng Yili felt a surge of emotions again when he saw her defiance. He asked again, “Junjin… Is Junjin very important to you?”
“Of course, he’s my life!” Yu Yunxi blurted out. However, she regretted it as soon as she said it. She did not know if her words would arouse his suspicion so she quickly added, “He’s my godbrother’s son, my nephew. I naturally cherish him a lot.”
She continued to ask coldly, “What’s wrong? Your Royal Highness, you’re asking so many questions. Are you trying to collect evidence to avenge your nephew?”
“I have no intention of stopping you,” Feng Yili said in a deep voice.
“What?”
“Junjin is also very important to me,” Feng Yili said firmly and clearly as he looked into her eyes.
Yu Yunxi’s heart skipped a beat when she heard these words. She took a deep breath and suppressed her emotions before she said softly, “Just wait, Your Royal Highness. I’ll refine the medicine as soon as possible and get my mother’s warm jade back.”
After saying that, Yu Yunxi left in a hurry. She was afraid she would lose her composure and reveal her secret if she stayed any longer.
Feng Yili did not chase after her and watched her leave. After a while, he looked at the medicine bottle in his hand.
‘Junjin said his mother obtained the medicine from a divine doctor, and she said that she refined this medicine…
“Did Junjin or Yu Yunxi lie? Or did both of them tell half-truths?” Feng Yili murmured to himself. Then he recalled Luo Xiuran’s words from before.
At that time, Luo Xiuran said, “I remember now. When you were poisoned, I saw Yu Yunxi at the inn. She was with a child at that time. It should be Junjin. She must know Junjin so why did she pretend like she didn’t know him? Was it just to protect Junjin’s identity as the King of Xinan’s grandson?”
‘That’s right… Is it really just to protect his identity as the King of Xinan’s grandson?’
“Yu Yunxi, you’ve lied to me so many times.. Are you lying to me again this time? Is Junjin really the King of Xinan’s grandson?”
