Five Years Later, She Bombarded the Palace with a Miniature Version of the Regent

Chapter 29

Little Bun Meets His Father

‘Ninth Imperial Uncle? In the entire country, there was only one ‘Ninth Imperial Uncle’. Feng Yili!”

Yu Yunxi felt as though her heart had jumped into her throat. Fortunately, she reacted quickly. She held her breath and quickly hid behind the cabinet next to her.

‘Why is Feng Yili here? Who’s the other person? He referred to himself as Feng Yili’s nephew. Which prince is he?’

Yu Yunxi’s heart was in a mess.

On the other side, Feng Yili replied indifferently, “I’m here to meet someone.”

“Oh? Who’s worthy of Imperial Uncle personally coming to meet him?”

“A nobody.”

“A nobody?”

The other party clearly did not believe Feng Yili but did not ask any more questions. Instead, he raised a glass of wine and said with a smile, “Thank you, Ninth Imperial Uncle, for speaking up for me in court today. Your advice really helped me catch Eldest Imperial Brother, the Crown Prince, and Third Imperial Brother off guard.”

Yu Yunxi’s eyes darkened immediately. Based on these words, she knew that the other party was likely the Fifth Prince.

‘Feng Yili, this scumbag, is really supporting the Fifth Prince!’

Previously, the Emperor was suspicious of Feng Yili so he poisoned him and almost killed him. However, Feng Yili did not restrain himself at all. He was even openly supporting the Fifth Prince now. Did he really want to live anymore?

Yu Yunxi cursed inwardly for a long time before she felt that something was wrong with her reaction. Why was she so angry? It had nothing to do with her whom Feng Yili supported and if he was plotted against by the Emperor again. Why was she so anxious? It was almost as though she worried about him.

At this time, Feng Yili replied calmly, “Prince Chen, it’s taboo to underestimate one’s enemy in the military. Today, both of us were just lucky.”

“Ninth Imperial Uncle is right. We have to be careful in the future. Since you’re meeting someone, I won’t bother you any longer,” Feng Wei Chen, the Fifth Prince, said with a laugh before he left.

After Feng Weichen left, Yu Yunxi relaxed slightly. However, in the next moment, she tensed up again because she heard Feng Yili say, “How long do you plan to hide? Do you want me to personally invite you out?”

‘Did… Did he notice me?’

Yu Yunxi bit her lip, feeling frustrated. Just as she was about to walk out from behind the cabinet, two figures suddenly entered through the window.

Someone scoffed and said, “I didn’t expect you to be somewhat intelligent. To think you were able to see the mark I made on the paper window.”

Yu Yunxi felt as though she had been struck by lightning when she heard the voice. It was impossible for her not to recognize this voice. Before coming to the capital, she had coaxed the owner of the voice to sleep every night.

On the other side of the screen, the little bun rubbed his neck awkwardly. Although he had spoken in a low voice to make himself sound more mature, his voice was still very childish; it did not sound mature or domineering at all. Moreover, the human skin mask he wore made his face very uncomfortable.

Before coming to this place, he and Qian Mei had put on human skin masks. After all, his face was too recognizable.

Meanwhile, when Feng Yili saw the little bun, he narrowed his eyes slightly. A hint of surprise could be seen in the depths of his eyes.

‘It’s really a child? He looks about four to five years old…’

Little Bun Yu felt slightly intimidated by Feng Yili’s piercing gaze. He said, “What are you looking at? It was me who sent you the letter of challenge!”

The little bun spoke loudly, trying to cover his nervousness. No matter what, he was a little tyrant in Xinan. He wondered why he lost his momentum when facing Feng Yili.

Meanwhile, Qian Mei, who was watching from the side, could see her little master’s short legs trembling slightly under his robe.

‘Little Master, weren’t you very imposing before you came in? Didn’t you say you were going to make the Prince Regent die tragically? However, now that you’ve met him… it seems like your plan is going very well…’

“Why are you looking for me?” Feng Yili asked as he raised an eyebrow. He naturally noticed the little bun’s trembling legs, and his interest was piqued. At the same time, his imposing and overwhelming aura seemed to have subsided quite a bit.

If anyone else dared to speak to Feng Yili in such a manner, blood would definitely spill. He did not know whether it was the child’s cowardly but arrogant personality or eyes that caught his attention.

Feng Yili’s eyes flashed briefly when he looked into the little bun’s eyes. He wondered inwardly, ‘Why do his eyes look familiar?’

“I want to challenge you! Whoever loses… has to agree to the winner’s request!” Little Bun Yu said as his voice grew weaker and weaker.

Originally, the little bun wanted to say that the loser had to die to atone for his sins, but when the words were about to come out, he felt extremely uneasy and could only change his words.

“Who are your parents?” Feng Yili asked, curious about the child’s background.

‘Parents?’

Little Bun Yu froze for a moment before an awkward expression appeared on his face. He fidgeted his fingers for a long time before he gritted his teeth and said, “My mother has something to do so she’s not with me. As for my father… he… he was a heartless person so he was hacked to death!”

Qian Mei, who was standing at the side, was speechless.

‘Little Master, is it okay to say such words in front of your father?’

Similarly, Yu Yunxi, who was hiding behind the cabinet, was speechless.

‘It’s definitely Junjin. What should I do now? Does Feng Yili recognize him? Would he hurt Junjin?’

All kinds of emotions surged in Yu Yunxi’s heart at this moment. She could not help but panic. She wished she could rush out and carry her son away at this moment.

“Dead?”

Upon hearing the little bun’s words, Feng Yili’s grip around the teacup tightened, and his eyes darkened. After a long time, he said in a deep voice, “I’m sorry I mentioned your father.”

‘The ruthless Prince Regent actually apologized?’

The other three people in the room were silent.

The little bun frowned and said, “You, don’t change the topic. You haven’t accepted my challenge!”

The little bun strode forward with his short legs as though he was going to argue with Feng Yili.

Suddenly…

A group of men dressed in black broke through the window. They did not bother to conceal their murderous intentions at all.

“Feng Yili, die!”

“Little Master!” Qian Mei exclaimed as her expression changed drastically.

Qian Mei rushed over to protect the little bun, but it was too late. He was standing too close to the men in black and the men were too fast.

Just as the men lifted their swords, Feng Yili’s killing intent surged. The cup in his hand flew out, saving the little bun.

“Annoying! With this shoddy ability, you dare to become an assassin?” the little bun muttered in disgust as he easily dodged one of the men in black. Then, he swiftly kicked the man’s shin.

Feng Yili was stunned by the little bun’s movements.

‘This child’s mother is definitely not simple…’

Meanwhile, Yu Yunxi, who overheard the commotion, was naturally anxious and worried. She could not hold back and quickly rushed out.
