During the journey back, Jiang Ying drove the carriage at an extremely fast speed. Before sunset, they had already arrived at the capital.
Yu Yunxi pinched the little bun’s cheek and said, sounding a little reluctant, “Junjin, can you follow your father back to the King of Youshan’s Residence for now?”
Yu Yunxi naturally wished that the little bun could stay with her. However, the state banquet of Xichu was about to begin, and she did not know how many people were watching her. It would be dangerous for the little bun to stay by her side.
“Mother, I understand,” the little bun said seriously as he nodded and patted his chest.
Yu Yunxi looked up and found a certain Prince Regent looking at her with a burning gaze. She hurriedly said, “You don’t have to worry about anything. You just have to take good care of Junjin. As for my engagement with the Third Prince of Beixiao, I’ll explain everything to Grandfather.”
Initially, Yu Yunxi planned to take a wait-and-see approach. However, now that the envoys of Beixiao had arrived in Xichu, she knew this matter could no longer be delayed. She was married with a child. If she delayed it any longer, a certain Prince Regent’s jealousy might overflow. Moreover, this matter was also unfair to the Third Prince of Beixiao.
“Alright, I’ll listen to you,” Feng Yili said with a nod, looking like a meek wife.
After Yu Yunxi left, Feng Yili was still in a daze, carrying the little bun in his arms.
In the end, Jiang Ying could not help but ask, puzzled, “Your Royal Highness, what do you want to do next?”
Feng Yili returned to his senses and asked coldly, “When will the envoys from Tianxia arrive?”
“They should be arriving at the capital in two hours,” Jiang Ying hurriedly replied.
“Make preparations then. I don’t want my nephews to be scared to death when they see me,” Feng Yili said coldly.
Jiang Ying looked at Feng Yili in shock and asked, “Prince Regent, you mean…
“It’s been a long time since the Prince Regent of Tianxia appeared in public. With this, some people can’t suppress their wild ambitions anymore,” Feng Yili said. Despite the faint smile on his face, his gaze was cold.
‘I hope my nephews won’t be too frightened when they see me…’
Feng Yili continued to say, “Moreover, if I don’t use my original identity, how can I compete with the Third Prince of Beixiao for her?”
Although the status of the King of Youshan was not bad, it was still inferior to the status of the Prince Regent of Tianxia who held great power in the imperial court.
‘So in the end, it’s all for the Princess Regent…’
Jiang Ying understood quickly. He nodded and said, “I understand, Your Royal Highness. I’ll make the preparations now.”
Meanwhile, Yu Yunxi was not in a hurry to return to the King of Zhenbei’s Residence. Instead, she went to the medical hall first. Feng Sheng was supposed to come for a check-up today.
Everyone stood up and bowed when they saw Yu Yunxi.
“Greetings, Eldest Princess.”
Yu Yunxi said nonchalantly, “There’s no need to be so polite. Has Young Master Feng arrived yet?”
At this time, a gentle voice said from behind, “Are you looking for me?”
Yu Yunxi turned around and saw Feng Sheng striding in. He looked much better than he did before. She said, “Brother Feng Sheng, please have a seat.”
‘Brother Feng Sheng?’
Feng Sheng paused in his tracks and looked at Yu Yunxi with a probing gaze.
“You’re my godbrother’s older brother so you’re naturally my godbrother as well,” Yu Yunxi calmly explained.
Feng Sheng narrowed his eyes. A thought appeared in his mind, and he quickly asked, “Did you regain your memories?”
“Yes. Please sit down first, Brother,” Yu Yunxi said.
After Feng Sheng took a seat, Yu Yunxi began to check his pulse. His pulse was stable, and he was recovering as expected. With this, the frown on her face finally eased, and she said, “You’re recovering very well. Just take the medicine I prescribed you, and you’ll be back to normal in a few days.”
“Thank you. Without you, I might have lost my life,” Feng Sheng said as he shook his head and smiled.
“There’s no need to be so polite. If anything, I’m the one who owes you a life-saving favor. You saved my life five years ago, and you saved my life again a few months ago, ” Yu Yunxi hurriedly said.
After a moment, Yu Yunxi said seriously, “By the way, Xichu will be holding a
celebration tomorrow. Various countries have sent their envoys to attend the state banquet. People from Tianxian will also be in attendance. The main envoy is Feng Weizhou. I don’t know if he recognizes you, but you should still be careful.’
Yu Yunxi did not know what Feng Sheng and the Eldest Princess of Tianxia experienced back then. Feng Sheng was the Eldest Princess’ son. For a mother to bring her child, flee all the way north from the capital, and hide her identity for so many years, Yu Yunxi did not believe the imperial family of Tianxia had nothing to do with it.
Seeing Yu Yunxi’s concern, Feng Sheng’s gaze softened considerably. He said, “I understand. However, even if I were to stand in front of Feng Weizhou, he wouldn’t be able to recognize me…”
Yu Yunxi thought that Feng Sheng must be wearing a human skin mask now so his current appearance should not be his true appearance. With this, she sighed in relief.
Feng Yili stood up and said, “Alright, I’ve taken a lot of your time today. I’ll take my leave first.”
“Alright,” Yu Yunxi replied with a nod.
Feng Sheng walked to the door, but he suddenly stopped in his tracks. He turned around and looked at Yu Yunxi with an unfathomable gaze as he said, “In fact, our relationship is more than you think. You don’t have to be so polite to me?”
‘Huh? What other relationship do we have?’
Yu Yunxi frowned, perplexed.
At this time, Feng Sheng raised his hand and removed the human mask on his face, revealing his true appearance to Yu Yunxi.
When Yu Yunxi saw Feng Sheng’s face, she thought he looked like a celestial being. He was as elegant and graceful as jade. His appearance was the complete
opposite of that of Feng Yili.
The two men were extremely handsome. One of them possessed a cold beauty while the other was as gentle as jade. When one looked at the latter’s face, one could not help but feel as though the spring breeze was blowing.
Yu Yunxi quickly returned to her senses. She said jokingly, “No wonder you’ve been wearing a human skin mask. You must be worried that your face would attract too much attention.”
Feng Sheng smiled slightly when he heard these words, and he did not refute the words. Before he walked out, he said meaningfully, “Yunxi, we’ll meet again soon. ”
Yu Yunxi’s eyelids twitched, and a strange feeling rose in her heart.
‘His injuries are almost healed. Why would he look for me again? In any case, he’s my savior and can be considered my godbrother as well. It’s not strange for him to look for me without a reason…
Yu Yunxi frowned as she muttered under her breath, “However… Why does his back look so familiar?”
