“Yes, I’ve already regained my memories. If Grandfather doesn’t believe me, you can ask me questions,” Yu Yunxi said calmly.
“It’s not that I don’t believe you, but… back then, your grandmother clearly said that there’s no way. The entire Xiao family didn’t have a way to break the amnesia curse,” Chu Ruishi muttered to himself.
Yu Yunxi said firmly, “Everything depends on yourself. There’s nothing absolute in this world.”
Upon hearing this, Chu Ruishi seemed to have thought of something. He smiled bitterly and said, “That’s right. Everything depends on yourself. All these years, I, your grandmother, and everyone in the Xiao family failed to understand this. If we had understood this earlier and found a way to break the curse, perhaps your grandmother and mother wouldn’t have died.”
Chu Ruishi’s expression became even more pained and guilty.
Yu Yunxi walked over and supported Chu Ruishi as she said helplessly, “In fact,
I don’t know why I regained my memories as well…”
Chu Ruishi shook his head and said with a smile, “It’s fine. I just need to know that you were able to break the curse. If the Xiao family sends more people, I’ll tell them about this. It’s because they always thought that the curse couldn’t be broken so many people died tragically. I want to prove to them that they’re wrong!”
Chu Ruishi took a deep breath to calm down before he looked at Feng Yili. In just an instant, his gentle gaze turned piercing as he asked, “You orchestrated the matter with the Mu family, didn’t you?”
“Yes, I did,” Feng Yili replied honestly and nodded.
Chu Ruishi slapped the table next to him and scolded, “How dare you!”
“Emperor Emeritus, I don’t think I did anything wrong. The Mu family isn’t innocent in the matter regarding the King of Youshan’s Residence. Of course, the real culprit who murdered Li Cheng’an is still safe and sound,” Feng Yili said. His tone turned sarcastic nearing the end of his words.
“You, you know that Mu Zhongwei acted on behalf of…”
“I know that Mu Zhongvvei acted on behalf of the Emperor. The Emperor was the one who wanted Li Cheng’an to die. However, Emperor Emeritus, don’t worry. I have no intention of taking the Emperor’s life,” Feng Yili said coldly before he continued to think to himself, ‘At least not for now.’
“Grandfather, Feng Yili also knows that we can’t force the Emperor to admit his mistakes. Moreover, you were also protecting the Emperor earlier, weren’t you?” Yu Yunxi said.
Chu Ruishi pursed his lips, and his expression was solemn. No matter what,
Chu Zai was his son and the ruler of Xichu. It was impossible for him to help an outsider deal with Chu Zai even if Chu Zai once forced the King of Youshan into a desperate situation.
Chu Ruishi said, looking extremely tired, “The only thing I can do for the King of Youshan’s Residence is to let Mu Zhongwei die and atone for his sins.”
Yu Yunxi felt very depressed when she saw the state Chu Ruishi was in. She understood that he had many things to consider, and more often than not, he had no choice.
Chu Ruishi looked at Feng Yili again and asked coldly, “So you were the one who tried to assassinate the Emperor tonight and framed the Seventh Prince and Changlin? Not only that, but you also injured yourself?”
Unsurprisingly, Feng Yili nodded again.
Chu Ruishi sneered. Then, he said through gritted teeth, “No wonder. Although the Emperor of Tianxia is muddle-headed, Tianxia has not fallen. After all, it has such an extraordinary Prince Regent. You planned so meticulously just to reveal your identity and expose the truth. You even bet on your life. I really have to look at you in a new light.”
Despite his sarcastic tone, it could still be seen that Chu Ruishi admired Feng Yili.
‘Why isn’t such a talented kid part of Xichu’s imperial family? Those useless people raised by the Emperor are getting worse and worse. Sooner or later, they’ll destroy Xichu…
At this moment, Yu Yunxi asked nervously, “Grandfather, now that you know what Feng Yili has done, will you… expose him?”
Although Feng Yili was very powerful and capable, they were still in Chu Zai’s territory after all. She was afraid that Feng Yili would come to harm.
Chu Ruishi scoffed and looked at Yu Yunxi with dissatisfaction as he said, “If I really wanted to expose him, I would’ve done it earlier. Why would I wait until now to question him?”
‘Look at her siding with an outsider…’
Chu Ruishi could not help but feel jealous seeing how concerned Yu Yunxi was about Feng Yili.
After hearing Chu Ruishi’s words, Yu Yunxi smiled and said, “Grandfather, you’re indeed a righteous person!”
Chu Ruishi pursed his lips, looking unhappy.
‘Does she think I don’t know that she’s praising me because of Feng Yili?’ However, the corners of Chu Ruishi’s lips could not help but curl up.
‘Forget it. Changning only has one daughter. If I don’t dote on her, who else can I dote on?’
Chu Ruishi glanced at Feng Yili and said nonchalantly, “Alright, get up. If you get injured again, won’t my Eldest Princess be angry with me?”
Seeing that the matters had been resolved, Li Xu was extremely happy. He quickly ran over and helped Feng Yili up, saying, “Prince Regent, let me help you.”
Feng Yili was very skilled. He quickly said, “Thank you, Grandfather.”
Chu Ruishi let Yu Yunxi help him to sit down before he said, “Changlin doesn’t know her limits, and Old Seventh and Consort Mu are ambitious. If I don’t teach them a lesson, they’ll make a huge mistake sooner or later. Hence, I won’t interfere in this matter. You can do what you want, but you cannot harm
Xichu. ”
Chu Ruishi had already made a huge concession with this.
Yu Yunxi sighed in relief. At this rate, her grandfather should acknowledge Feng Yili and the little bun soon.
At this moment, there was a commotion near the window. With a loud thump, the window opened, and Luo Xiuran fell into the room with the little bun in his arms.
“Assassins!”
The secret guards in hiding appeared immediately, pointing their swords at Luo Xiuran and the little bun.
“Don’t hurt them!”
Yu Yunxi quickly walked over and carried the little bun.
The little bun called out softly, looking very obedient, “Mother.”
“He is…”
Chu Ruishi looked at the little bun.
The little bun was not intimidated. Before Yu Yunxi could introduce him, he called out obediently, “Great-grandfather.”
Li Xu’s heart almost melted when he saw the cute and obedient little bun. However, he was also worried that Chu Ruishi would dislike the little bun because of Feng Yili. Hence, he quickly said, “Emperor Emeritus, don’t you think the little prince looks like the Eldest Princess? In fact, if you look closely, his eyebrows and eyes are also similar to those of Princess Changning and Empress Emerita Xiao.”
‘Heh, it seems like this old servant of mine is getting old, and his eyesight has gone bad. This little guy’s eyes are exactly like those of Feng Yili. Does he think I’m blind and can’t see?’
However, Chu Ruishi also knew that Li Xu only said those words because Li Xu was worried that he would make things difficult for the little bun..
