After a moment, Xiao Shici added, “Although Feng Weizhou is useless, sinister people always have many vicious schemes. Please be careful.”
Yu Yunxi chuckled. “Alright, thank you for the reminder. I’ll remember it. I can’t let the sinister villain succeed after all.”
Xiao Shici’s expression turned solemn as he said, “I heard that Princess
Changlin arrived at the capital yesterday.”
“I didn’t expect you to know about this,” Yu Yunxi said with a sigh before she recounted what happened with the three Kang sisters.
“I didn’t expect there to be so many monsters in your King of Zhenbei’s
Residence,” Xiao Shici said as he raised an eyebrow and sighed exaggeratedly.
Yu Yunxi did not expect Xiao Shici to joke. She did not board the palanquin and continued to walk with Xiao Shici instead. She said in a low voice, “I don’t know what deal the three Kang sisters made with Princess Changlin, but she interfered with the matters of the King of Zhenbei’s Residence as soon as she arrived. She must not be a good person. I’ll be careful.”
Xiao Shici nodded. “Alright. Let me know if you need help.”
Xiao Shici thought of something and said again, “I heard that the Eastern Palace sent a letter to the Shang Residence. Tonight, people from the Shang family will also be entering the palace.”
Yu Yunxi’s eyes flashed upon hearing this.
Due to the incident at Full Moon Pavilion, some people must have grown suspicious and targeted the Shang family. If the matter continued, it would not be long before the deal between the Eastern Palace, the second branch of the Yu family, and the Shang family was exposed. There were many consequences to that, but the most grave one would be if Chu Yuefu and Empress Qin aroused the Emperor’s suspicion.
Yu Yunxi frowned slightly and said, “I’m very curious. Now that things have developed to this stage, the Eastern Palace still asked people from the Shang family to enter the palace. Isn’t this tantamount to showing everyone the connection between the Eastern Palace and the Shang family?”
‘What is Chu Yuefu planning?’
“We’ll find out tonight, ” Xiao Shici said faintly.
‘Indeed…
Yu Yunxi nodded before she looked around.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Shici’s gaze darkened slightly. He asked, “Are you looking for… Feng Yili?”
Yu Yunxi quickly looked ahead and replied in a relaxed tone, “No, I’m just looking around.”
Xiao Shici did not ask any more questions, and the two of them continued to walk in silence.
While Feng Weizhou was still thinking about Yu Yunxi’s matter, Chu Yuemu appeared in front of him.
“You are…”
Feng Weizhou looked at the other party inquisitively.
Chu Yuemu suppressed the displeasure in his heart and calmly said, “The Crown Prince of Tianxia is really forgetful. I’m the Seventh Prince of Xichu. When you arrived at the capital, I was the one who received you. Have you forgotten?”
Feng Weizhou quickly came out with an excuse, saying, “So it’s the Seventh
Prince. I didn’t see you clearly earlier so I didn’t recognize you.”
Inwardly, Feng Weizhou sneered and thought to himself, ‘You’re just the Third
Prince, a consort’s son. Why should I care about you.’
Chu Yuemu could tell that Feng Weizhou did not take him seriously, but he still smiled as he asked probingly, “Crown Prince of Tianxia, I saw you chatting happily with the Eldest Princess earlier. Could it be that the two of you are… old acquaintances?”
Yu Yunxi’s actions and behavior lately were unlike those of a country bumpkin. This made Chu Yuemu and his mother very uneasy. Hence, they sent someone to investigate her. However, all the clues were cut off when they reached Tianxia. In the end, they only knew that she lived in Tianxia before she returned. They did not know the details at all.
For this reason, when Chu Yuemu saw Yu Yunxi and Feng Weizhou talking earlier, he quietly observed them. Based on the duo’s interaction, it was clear that they were familiar with each other.
Feng Weizhou’s eyes flashed upon hearing Chu Yuemu’s words. He could roughly guess why he and his father failed to find out about Yu Yunxi’s identity in Xichu. It had to be the work of Feng Yili and the Emperor Emeritus of Xichu.
‘The former Princess Regent of Tianxia, who was forced to marry the Prince
Regent, is the Eldest Princess of Xichu who had been missing for many years.
The concubine of the former Prime Minister of Tianxia was Princess Changning of Xichu. If news of this matter spreads, it would deal a blow to the reputation of the imperial family of Xichu.’
‘Yu Yunxi is also now the fiancee of the Third Prince of Beixiao. Based on how protective he was of her earlier, he clearly intends to marry her. However, Ninth Imperial Uncle’s feelings for Yu Yunxi are obvious to all. If Ninth
Imperial Uncle and the Third Prince of Beixiao were to fight, who would win?
Will both sides suffer?’
The more Feng Weizhou thought about it, the more excited he became. However, he controlled his expression very well in front of Chu Yuemu. He feigned ignorance and said, “Seventh Prince, she’s the Eldest Princess of your Xichu, and I’m the Crown Prince of Tianxia. How could we be familiar with each other? We were just exchanging greetings earlier. Anyway, the banquet is about to start soon. Seventh Prince, you should hurry to the venue as soon as possible.”
After saying that, Feng Weizhou sat on the palanquin and left.
‘Ha, don’t I think I don’t know that he was testing me earlier… It seems like the imperial family of Xichu doesn’t know about Yunxi’s time in Tianxia. The Emperor Emeritus is really good to her. He actually kept all those matters a secret for her… I can’t reveal this matter easily. After all, it’s a good bargaining chip. Xichu, Tianxia, Beixiao… Ha! This mess is getting more and more interesting!’
Meanwhile, Chu Yuemu gnashed his teeth and clenched his hands tightly as he watched Feng Weizhou leave. He muttered to himself darkly, “The Crown Prince of Tianxia doesn’t take me seriously at all. He actually tried to fool me with his words…
Upon hearing this, the guard behind Chu Yuemu asked, “Third Prince, do you want us to take action?”
In the past, if anyone made Chu Yuemu unhappy, Chu Yuemu would definitely take action.
“No need. No matter what, he’s still the Crown Prince of Tianxia. He’s not so easy to deal with. Let him go for now,” Chu Yuemu said faintly.
In the next moment, Chu Yuemu quickly added, “Compared to teaching the Crown Prince of Tianxia a lesson, it’s more important to investigate Yu Yunxi’s past now.”
Chu Yuemu had a strong feeling that Yu Yunxi was related to the imperial family of Tianxia.
‘If I find anything damning, then I can deal with that b*tch once and for all!’
“Yes, Your Royal Highness.”
At this time, Yu Yunxi and Xiao Shici finally arrived at Fuyang Hall, which was the venue of the banquet.
When the two of them walked into the hall together, countless pairs of eyes looked at them.
‘Isn’t that the Eldest Princess with the Third Prince of Beixiao?’
‘As expected, they’re already so close.’
‘It seems like the marriage between Xichu and Beixiao is on the agenda…’ At this moment, someone said slowly, “This must be Sister Changning’s daughter. What a beauty.”
Immediately after, a woman dressed in tribal clothes but looked like she was from the Central Plains walked over with a group of people..
