“Imperial Preceptor, you mean.. ‘ Feng Yijin said, narrowing his eyes. He did not quite understand Qi Ye’s intentions.
Qi Ye said unhurriedly, “Everyone, tell me, is the Princess Regent a lucky star? Back then, when the Prince Regent almost died, he survived after marrying her. Later, she even gave birth to a son for him… There were several unrests in Xinan, and Xinan was almost conquered. However, the Princess Regent led the troops and managed to drive the enemies away. Also during the war with Nanyue, she managed to capture Nanyue’s Crown Prince. She’s a lucky star to the Prince Regent’s Residence, the King of Xinan’s Residence, and also Tianxia. ”
With this, the other ministers chimed in one after another.
“That’s true. At that time, we all thought the Prince Regent was going to die.
We didn’t expect him to survive after he married the Princess Regent.”
“During the war between Xinan and Nanyue, we also managed to gain a lot of benefits because of the Princess Regent!”
On the other hand, Luo Xiuran frowned and muttered under his breath, “Although what he said is not wrong, why do I feel like something is wrong?
What does he want to do?”
It seemed like Qi Ye was praising Yu Yunxi for being a lucky star, but for some reason, Luo Xiuran had an ominous feeling.
Meanwhile, Yu Yunxi and Feng Yili’s expressions had turned grim because they understood that Qi Ye had to be plotting something.
Feng Yijin thought about it for a moment before he smiled and said meaningfully, “The Imperial Preceptor is right. It’s all because of the Princess Regent that Tianxia gained many things…”
Qi Ye said, “That’s why you don’t have to worry, Your Majesty. No matter what, as long as the Princess Regent is around, everything can be resolved.” Feng Yijin stroked his beard and laughed, seemingly in a good mood.
Yu Yunxi’s eyes glinted coldly. It seemed like they had guessed Qi Ye’s intentions wrong. He did not intend to use the commoners to deal with her.
Instead, he intended to deal with her using another way.
Without giving them a chance to speak, Qi Ye said to Feng Yijin with a smile, “Your Majesty, don’t worry. Leave everything to me and the Princess Regent. All of those who intend to harm Tianxia will be eliminated.
“Alright. I can rest assured with the Imperial Preceptor’s words,” Feng Yijin said happily as he stroked his beard.
Soon after, the sound of music rang in the hall again.
Feng Yili and Yu Yunxi looked at Qi Ye and saw the expression on Qi Ye’s face. It was as though Qi Ye had something planned for them.
When the banquet ended, Yu Yunxi and Feng Yili led the little bun out.
However, just as they stepped out, they heard Qi Ye’s voice from behind.
“Prince Regent, Princess Regent, why are you in a hurry to leave? Don’t you want to catch up with me?”
Feng Yili stopped in his tracks and said in a low voice to Yu Yunxi, “Yunxi, you and Junjin leave first.”
‘He’s going to face the Imperial Preceptor on his own?’
Yu Yunxi could not help but worry.
Qi Ye said again, “Prince Regent, don’t be nervous. I’m not a fierce beast. I won’t do anything to the Princess Regent.”
Then, Qi Ye walked over to them.
Yu Yunxi looked at Qi Ye and said bluntly, “Imperial Preceptor, let’s get straight to the point. What do you want this time?”
Qi Ye asked in a low voice, “Do you want to find the real antidote for Springwood Separation?”
Under the night sky, Qi Ye’s eyes shone brightly.
Yu Yunxi’s heart sank when she heard those words. She had not been able to find the antidote for Springwood Separation. She could only use other means to suppress the poison and numb Feng Yili’s pain.
‘Does he have the antidote?’
“Could it be that I was poisoned by the Imperial Preceptor? Otherwise, how could the Imperial Preceptor know the antidote?” Feng Yili asked coldly.
Qi Ye chuckled. “Prince Regent, if I want someone to die, I have a thousand ways to do it. Why would I use poison?”
“Oh, so it seems like I should thank you that my Princess Consort and I are alive after so many years,” Feng Yili said stonily.
Qi Ye let out a long sigh and said regretfully, “It seems like you have a very big misunderstanding about me. I have never… thought about hurting you.”
Qi Ye looked like a wise Daoist priest, but Feng Yili and Yu Yunxi did not believe a single word he said.
Soon after, Qi Ye said again, “As long as you help me find that demon, I’ll definitely give you the antidote for Springwood Separation. What do you think?”
Then, Qi Ye added, “Don’t worry. I won’t harm you. Think about it. After you’ve thought things through, send someone to my residence. However, I have to remind you that the best time to eliminate the demon is within these three days. I hope both of you can come to a decision as soon as possible.”
Looking at Qi Ye’s back, Luo Xiuran, who was standing at the side, could not help but say puzzled, “What exactly is he plotting?”
‘Is it possible that he only wants to eliminate the demon? However, is it possible that such a monster exists in this world?’
At this moment, the little bun tugged at Feng Yili’s sleeve and asked worriedly,
“Father, is the poison very serious?”
The little bun had always known that his father was poisoned, but he did not know the severity of it.
“I’m fine,” Feng Yili replied as he gently patted the little bun’s head.
Yu Yunxi’s heart ached when she saw the little bun’s red eyes. She comforted him softly, “It’s okay. Mother is here. Your father will be fine.”
The little bun sniffed and said obediently, “Okay. I believe in Father and
Mother. Everything will be fine.”
Feng Yili carried the little bun and reminded Yu Yunxi gently, “Let’s go. Don’t pay attention to the Imperial Preceptor’s words.”
Yu Yunxi nodded in agreement, but her thoughts were contradictory to her actions. She could not help but wonder if Qi Ye truly had the antidote. If so, where did he get the antidote?
Back at the residence.
Qian Qing and the others were waiting, worried.
“Princess Consort, did everything go smoothly in the palace?”
“It’s alright,” Yu Yunxi said lightly. When she lowered her head, she saw the little bun yawning so she asked softly, “Junjin, are you sleepy?”
“A little.”
“Alright. I’ll bring you to your room to sleep,” Yu Yunxi said gently as she patted the little bun’s head. She wanted to explain what had happened in the palace tonight so that he would not worry.
Yu Yunxi held the little bun’s hand and walked for a long time.
In the end, Qian Qing could no longer endure it so she stepped forward and whispered, “Princess Consort, the little prince’s courtyard is on the left… not the right…
Only then did Yu Yunxi return to her senses. She pinched the bridge of her nose and said helplessly, “I went the wrong way…”
After she went on the correct path, even Luo Xiuran, who was usually quite obtuse, walked to Feng Yili’s side and asked, “Why is Yunxi acting so weird these past two days? What’s wrong?”
Feng Yili did not say anything, but his gaze was dark.
At this moment, Jiang Ying walked over and said, “Your Royal Highness, the
Imperial Preceptor specially sent someone over to deliver a letter.”
‘A letter? We just met in the palace. Why did he send a letter here?’
Feng Yili’s expression was cold as he took the letter and read it.
The letter read: Prince Regent, aren’t you afraid that the Princess Regent will forget your existence one day?
