Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Feng Yili whispered into Yu Yunxi’s ear, “Go to sleep. I’ll wait until the day you’re willing. ”
Feng Yili’s voice was low and hoarse with a hint of longing.
Yu Yunxi felt the blood in her body heat up. She did not dare to move at all. Fortunately, Feng Yili kept his word and did not do anything.
The room fell silent again, and Yu Yunxi could clearly hear their breathing. For some reason, all her feelings became very clear at this moment. She lay in his arms stiffly for a long time before she finally fell asleep.
Feng Yili slowly opened his eyes after Yu Yunxi fell asleep. He exerted a little force and pulled her closer to him. His heart, which had been still for a long time, finally came back to life now that she was in his arms.
He murmured, “It’s good that you’re by my side.”
The next morning.
When Yu Yunxi woke up, the space next to her was already empty. She touched the other side of the mattress and found that it was still warm. It seemed like Feng Yili had only left not long ago.
“Eldest Princess, are you awake?” Qian Qing asked from outside.
“Yes,” Yu Yunxi replied.
Soon after, Qian Qing and Meng Xia came in to help Yu Yunxi wash up.
“Eldest Princess, let me help you wash up,” Meng Xia said.
“No need. I can do it myself,” Yu Yunxi said, shaking her head.
Yu Yunxi dipped the towel in the basin and wrung it before she quickly wiped herself down. Suddenly, there was a tingle in her mind, and she vaguely saw a woman in the army. The woman wore armor, and she looked carefree.
Seeing that Yu Yunxi’s expression was not right, Qian Qing asked worriedly,
“Eldest Princess, what’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing,” Yu Yunxi said, quickly shaking her head. However, her gaze darkened. Recently, her headaches were becoming more frequent. As a doctor, even she could not figure out the reason.
‘Is it really because of the curse? Perhaps Grandfather knows something about
it… ‘
Although Meng Xia said there was no chance to recover her memories due to the curse, Yu Yunxi inexplicably felt that there was a way to recover her memories. With this thought in mind, she said, “Meng Xia, prepare the carriage. After breakfast, follow me into the palace to meet Grandfather.”
“Eldest Princess, you’re going to meet the Emperor Emeritus?” Meng Xia’s eyes lit up.
Yu Yunxi knew why Meng Xia was so happy. After all, Meng Xia often nagged her, telling her to try her best to please her grandfather. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for her to survive in the capital. She knew that Meng Xia had a point. After all, apart from the Emperor, there were also many others who wanted to kill her. Her greatest protection now was her maternal grandfather. However, she really did not want to please him.
Not long after Meng Xia left the room, Zhou Liang; the steward of the King of Zhenbei’s Residence, arrived. He bowed to Yu Yunxi before he said with a smile, “Eldest Princess, the Old Madam wants to have breakfast with you in the dining hall. ”
Upon hearing Zhou Liang’s words, Yu Yunxi recalled that Old Madam Zhou had returned to the residence yesterday. She completely ignored Zhou Liang and asked Qian Qing, “Qian Qing, there’s a small kitchen in the courtyard. Do you know how to cook?”
“Yes, Eldest Princess,” Qian Qing quickly replied with a nod. She was smart after all and could instantly guess Yu Yunxi’s intentions. She quickly added, “Eldest Princess, please wait for a moment. I’ll go and prepare breakfast for you now.”
Zhou Liang braced himself before he said again, “E-eldest Princess, the Old Madam and the others are still waiting for you..
Old Madam Zhou failed to suppress Yu Yunxi yesterday so she was filled with anger. She had nowhere to vent her anger, and in the end, she could only make things difficult for the servants. She woke up early today, thinking that Yu Yunxi, a junior, would come and pay her respects. She planned to make things difficult for Yu Yunxi and vent her anger. Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, Yu Yunxi did not come. Hence, she decided to wait in the dining hall. Yu Yunxi could refuse to pay respect to her, but Yu Yunxi had to eat, right?
Zhou Liang was Old Madam Zhou’s distant nephew so he was very familiar with her personality. If she did not see Yu Yunxi today, he knew he and the other servants would be the ones to suffer. Therefore, he had to persuade Yu Yunxi to go to the dining hall no matter what.
Zhou Liang said earnestly, “Eldest Princess, the Old Madam specially asked the kitchen staff to prepare your favorite food. Why don’t you go to the dining hall?”
Yu Yunxi could not help but chuckle when she heard these words. She raised an eyebrow and looked at Zhou Liang.
Zhou Liang was stunned when he met Yu Yunxi’s gaze.
‘The Eldest Princess is so beautiful. She’s even more beautiful than the Commandery Princess…’
However, immediately after that, Zhou Liang shivered when he sensed Yu Yunxi’s chilly aura. It felt as though his flesh was being cut by knives. Frightened, he quickly lowered his head.
‘The Eldest Princess is so terrifying…’
At the same time, Zhou Liang also understood that Yu Yunxi was definitely not someone he could afford to provoke.
“Steward Zhou, you’re a relative of the Old Madam, right? Go back and tell her to behave herself if she still wants to stay in the King of Zhenbei’s Residence. If she has any thoughts that she shouldn’t have, don’t blame me for being rude,” Yu Yunxi said icily.
Zhou Liang wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and hurriedly replied, “I understand. I’ll take my leave first.”
However, after leaving the room, Zhou Liang slapped his own face in frustration. If he returned like that, he knew he would not be able to explain himself to Old Madam Zhou. However, compared to Yu Yunxi, he felt it would be better to face Old Madam Zhou’s wrath. He sighed before he hurried back.
Meanwhile, Qian Jiao and Qian Mei approached Yu Yunxi with serious expressions on their faces.
“Eldest Princess, that Old Madam Zhou has ill intentions. I’m afraid she’ll make things difficult for you…”
“She won’t be able to cause much trouble for the time being. How’s the preparation for the Revival Hall going?” Yu Yunxi asked nonchalantly.
Since Qian Jiao and Qian Mei arrived, Yu Yunxi had handed over the matters of the Revival Hall to them.
“Eldest Princess, everything is almost ready. We just need to choose an auspicious day to open the door,” Qian Jiao quickly replied.
“Alright, I’ll leave this matter up to you,” Yu Yunxi said with a nod. She was
very assured with Qian Jiao and Qian Mei handling all these matters.
Initially, she only had Meng Xia so Meng Xia was always very busy. However, with the addition of Qian Qing, Qian Jiao, and Qian Mei, things became much more convenient.
At this time, Qian Qing brought the breakfast she prepared over and served Yu
Yunxi.
After breakfast, Yu Yunxi prepared to enter the imperial palace.
As the carriage from the King of Zhenbei’s Residence passed through the bustling street, Yu Yunxi, who was resting with her eyes closed, suddenly overheard a conversation outside.
“Hey, did you hear? His Majesty wants to bestow a marriage to the King of Youshan and the Sixth Princess!”
“You heard about it as well? I heard about it too! I heard that the imperial edict has been sent out from the palace to the King of Youshan’s Residence!”
