Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Little fellow, this matter is very serious. Don’t cause any more trouble,” Jiang Ying said sternly and even reached out to pull the child to a corner. He thought the child was just making trouble.
Yu Junjin’s eyes reddened and he said tearily, “No, this medicine really works!”
‘I just want to help Father, but no one believes me…’
Feng Yili coughed again at this moment. Blood could be seen on the corners of his lips. He looked up with great difficulty and saw the little bun curled up in the corner of the carriage.
The little bun’s face was wet with tears, and he looked very pitiful.
Feng Yili took a deep breath and softened his tone as he said, “Jiang Ying, send this child back to his mother. Remember, don’t let the Twelfth Prince find him.’
Feng Yili was very familiar with the Twelfth Prince and the Fifth Prince. They, especially the Twelfth Prince, were both extremely petty. If the Twelfth Prince was unhappy, someone would definitely suffer. Hence, he knew the little bun was in a bad situation.
“Your Roval Highness…” liana Ying was verv anxious.
‘The Prince Regent is already in such a state. How can he still care about the child?’
“Jiang Ying!” Feng Yili’s voice was extremely cold when he sensed Jiang Ying’s reluctance.
Jiang Ying gritted his teeth and said, “I’ll send him back now!”
Feng Yili’s expression eased upon hearing this. He was also surprised by himself. He was never a kind person. There was no need for him to spend so much effort on a strange child of unknown origin. However, for some inexplicable reason, he felt an affinity with the child. Moreover, when he saw the child crying, he felt extremely upset.
“Come here! I’ll bring you to your mother,” Jiang Ying said expressionlessly.
“My mother isn’t in the capital. She has something to do, and she’ll only pick me up when she’s done,” Yu Junjin said. He was unwilling to leave seeing that his father was not feeling well. He quickly ran under Jiang Ying’s arm and ran straight into Feng Yili’s arms. He tugged at Feng Yili’s sleeve softly as he said tearily, “I don’t have any relatives in the capital. I-I… want to stay with you. I don’t want to leave!”
Yu Junjin’s pitiful expression really made everyone feel distressed.
Luo Xiuran also inexplicably felt a bit of affection for the child. He leaned over and said softly, “Little fellow, why don’t you follow me first? This brother isn’t feeling well..
Yu Junjin hurriedly brought out the pill again. His eyes shone with anxiety as he said, “I have medicine. Trust me! This medicine is really effective!”
“This isn’t the time to joke around,” Luo Xiuran said helplessly.
Yu Junjin grew even more anxious. He kept shaking his head as he said, “No, this is the medicine my mother gave me! It can extend one’s life. My uncle was seriously injured by an arrow before, but this medicine saved his life!”
Yu Junjin’s tears fell again, and his shoulders shook as he said, “Why don’t you believe me?”
At this moment, a large hand reached out from behind and took the medicine.
“I believe you.”
Feng Yili took the medicine and swallowed it without thinking.
“Yili, you…”
Luo Xiuran and Jiang Ying were very anxious when they saw this.
“Even if you’re desperate to get better, you shouldn’t do this,” Luo Xiuran said, feeling speechless. He was worried that Yu Junjin’s medicine would aggravate Feng Yili’s condition or that the medicine was poisonous. At that time, even if the immortals came, it would be useless. He really did not understand why Feng Yili, who was usually very cautious, would be so impulsive today.
Feng Yili only pursed his lips. His expression was unreadable. In fact, he also could not believe his own actions. When he saw the child crying, he instinctively reached out for the medicine.
‘Forget it… I’m already in such a state anyway. It can’t be any worse.’
Yu Junjin was naturally unaware of the adults’ thoughts. The corners of his lips could not help but curl up into a smile as he thought to himself, ‘Father believed me! Father really believed me!’
“County Princess, the carriage has entered the residence.”
Yu Yunxi, Qian Jiao, and Qian Mei looked at the residence with complex expressions on their faces.
Yu Yunxi massaged her temples, feeling a headache coming on. “My heart will never be at ease as long as Junjin is by Feng Yili’s side.”
“Master, it’s my fault for not watching over Little Master properly. I’ll go in and rescue him now!” Qian Mei said, looking as though she was about to charge into the Prince Regent’s Residence.
“No,” Yu Yunxi stopped Qian Mei and said, “It was Junjin who was greedy. He had ordered you away to buy food for him. Moreover, no one of us could have predicted that he would meet Feng Yili. You’re not wearing the human-skin mask now. If you rush in now, our relationship with Junjin will be exposed. At that time, Junjin will be in even more danger.”
Qian Mei frowned and said apologetically, “It’s my fault for not thinking carefully.”
“Then, what should we do now, County Princess?” Qian Jiao asked worriedly.
“I can only go in personally,” Yu Yunxi said helplessly.
After saying that, Yu Yunxi told Qian Jiao and Qian Mei to find a place to hide outside before she walked up and knocked on the door.
In the Prince Regent’s Residence.
The resident doctor had arrived, helping Luo Xiuran to send Feng Yili into the room.
Jiang Ying, Jiang Chuan, and the other secret guards paced around the courtyard anxiously.
Jiang Ying, who was anxious, was naturally in a bad mood. When he heard the knocking on the door, he quickly walked over, intending to scold the other party. However, when he saw Yu Yunxi, his expression became respectful immediately. He asked, “Princess Consort, what’s wrong? Did you come to save the Prince…’
Halfway through his words, Jiang Ying suddenly remembered that Feng Yili had issued a gag order. They were not allowed to reveal anything to Yu Yunxi.
Initially, he thought that it would be great if Yu Yunxi could treat Feng Yili since she had very high medical skills. However, with the gag order, he could
only swallow his following words.
Seeing the awkward expression on Jiang Ying’s face, Yu Yunxi frowned.
‘What happened to Feng Yili?’
“Princess Consort, why did you come?” Jiang Ying asked, carefully probing.
Yu Yunxi’s eyes darted around as she thought of an excuse. “I… I want to buy this house. I came over that night and found that it was not bad. I just want to have another look again.”
‘That night was so unpleasant, but the Princess Consort is still interested in this house? It seems like the Princess Consort really likes this house!’
Jiang Ying’s expression lit up, and he quickly came up with an idea. Since Feng Yili did not allow them to tell Yu Yunxi about the poison acting up, he would lure her in and let her discover the situation on her own. After making up his mind, he quickly opened the door and said happily, “Princess Consort, please come in.”
Yu Yunxi only wanted to see Yu Junjin now so she did not think too much about
Jiang Ying’s eagerness and excitement. She walked in with big strides and saw Yu Junjin sitting in a daze in a pavilion in the courtyard. Even from a distance, she could see that his face was wet, clearly having just cried.
‘Why is he crying? Did they bully him?’
Yu Yunxi clenched her hands as her breathing quickened and her killing intent surged..
