Yu Yunxi was very calm when Ying Siyuan questioned her. She said, “Young General Ying, before I answer your questions, I have a question for you. How does Nanyue know about our original plan?”

Ying Siyuan’s expression changed drastically upon hearing these words. He said angrily, “County Princess, do you suspect that I leaked the news to Nanyue? But I’ve been with you the entire time tonight!”

“That’s not true. When we were guarding that place, you said you wanted to observe the surroundings. You were away for the time it took for half an incense to burn,” Yu Yunxi said. Her voice was slightly cold.

Ying Siyuan’s expression was slightly strange when he heard these words.

Yu Yunxi continued to ask forcefully, “Young General Ying, can you explain this matter?”

“I, I…” Ying Siyuan stammered for a long time, but he did not say anything in the end.

Yu Yunxi walked past the other party and said, “When you’ve thought of an answer, you can come and look for me.”

Qian Ji, who was standing not far away, hurried over when he saw Yu Yunxi. He could not help but ask in a low voice, “County Princess, Young General Ying is very suspicious. Why don’t we capture him immediately and interrogate him?”

“Sometimes what we see may not be the truth,” Yu Yunxi said cryptically.

What does it mean?’ Qian Ji wondered inwardly, puzzled.

Yu Yunxi did not explain herself and quickly left the military camp. She wanted to find out how and why Feng Yili appeared in Lucky Moon Valley after meeting with Shen Si.

‘What did he say to Godfather?’

Since she did not want to speak to Feng Yili, she could only ask Shen Si.

When Yu Yunxi returned to the King of Xinan’s Residence, she discovered that not only Shen Hezhi was present, but Feng Yili was present as well.

Yu Junjin, the little bun, was in a daze. When he came out from his room earlier, he saw Feng Yili standing in the courtyard.

‘Father? Why is Father here?’

The little bun’s eyes lit up immediately, and he ran toward Feng Yili with his short legs. However, he suddenly stopped in his tracks when he remembered that his father had let his mother down again. He frowned and quickly retreated.

Seeing this, Feng Yili’s gaze darkened.

Meanwhile, Luo Xiuran and Liu Xiaolan, who were standing behind Feng Yili, looked like they were watching a show.

Liu Xiaolan made a gesture and asked Luo Xiuran with his eyes, “Whose child is Luo Xiuran only looked at him with a shrug.

At this moment, Shen Hezhi coughed slightly and waved at the little bun.

“Junjin…”

Without any hesitation, the little bun ran toward Shen Hezhi and threw himself into Shen Hezhi’s arms. When he saw Xu Zhiyan standing behind Shen Hezhi, he even obediently called out, “Brother Xu..

Although the little bun was not in the capital for long, he had grown very close to Xu Zhiyan.

Feng Yili’s expression was very complicated as he watched his son greet everyone with a smile and only showed him a cold expression.

At this time, Yu Yunxi ignored everyone’s gaze and walked straight toward Shen Hezhi and the little bun.

“Brother.”

“You’re back,” Shen Hezhi said warmly.

“Where’s Father?” Yu Yunxi asked directly. She wanted to know more about Feng Yili.

Shen Hezhi frowned slightly and said in a low voice, “I went to look for Father earlier, but he refused to see me. He said he wanted to discuss the battle with the other deputy generals…”

Both Yu Yunxi and Shen Hezhi knew this was not the case. The truth was Shen Si did not want to see them. After all, there was no reason for them to not be present if Shen Si was discussing the war. In fact, if there was a meeting or a discussion, Shen Si would take the initiative to call them over.

Both of them could not help but wonder what secrets Shen Si and Feng Yili had.

“Yunxi, your body…” Shen Hezhi was very worried about Yu Yunxi’s health.

At this moment, Xu Zhiyan took the initiative to say, “Miss Qian Jiao is still brewing the medicine. I’ll go and take a look.”

Xu Zhiyan was naturally aware that his identity was awkward. It was already good enough that Yu Yunxi allowed him to enter Xinan on account of their old relationship. The Emperor did ask him to be a spy, but he did not want to betray his friend. For this reason, when Yu Yunxi and the others discussed anything, he decided to avoid them.

“Junjin, you should go too,” Yu Yunxi said warmly. She did not want the little bun to be implicated in the grudge between her and Feng Yili.

The little bun pouted, but he still obediently followed Xu Zhiyan away.

After that, Yu Yunxi ignored Feng Yili’s burning gaze and said to Shen Hezhi, “Brother, I want to speak to you about Nanyue…”

“But your injuries…’

“Qian Jiao is already brewing the medicine. I’ll drink the medicine when it’s done. Let’s talk first,” Yu Yunxi said calmly. Seeing that Shen Hezhi was not convinced, she said helplessly, “Brother, it’s normal to get injured in times of war. How many times did we narrowly escape in the past and almost lost our lives? Today is nothing compared to those times…”

Upon hearing these words, Feng Yili, who was standing not far away, clenched his hands. He was in an extremely bad mood. Although he had led troops to war many times and was covered in scars, he could not bear to hear about her getting injured.

At the same time, Shen Hezhi could only give in to her and said helplessly, “Alright. Come with me.”

Feng Yili wanted to follow them, but Jiang Ru brought Jian Xin over at this moment and said with a faint smile, “Prince Regent, His Highness told me to entertain you.”

Feng Yili nodded. “Thank you.’

Feng Yili was very modest and acted like a junior.

Jiang Ru was slightly stunned by his behavior. She wanted to stand for Yu Yunxi, but she was at a loss when faced with Feng Yili’s humble attitude.

At this moment, Luo Xiuran tried to show his sense of existence. He stepped forward and greeted Jiang Ru. “Xiuran greets the Lady of Xinan.”

After all, Luo Xiuran had heard that Jiang Ru doted on Qian Qing very much.

“Young Marquis Luo?” Jian Xin was slightly surprised when she saw Luo Xiuran. However, thinking about how close Luo Xiuran and Feng Yili were, Luo Xiuran naturally would not stay in the capital if Feng Yili was here.

“Sister Jian, ” Luo Xiuran greeted Jian Xin politely.

“You’re Young Marquis Luo?” Jiang Ru looked at Luo Xiuran.

“Yes.”

“When I visited the capital in the past, I remember you were holding your father’s hand. You were only Junjin’s age at that time…” Jiang Ru said with a sigh, looking in the direction of the capital. So many years passed in just a blink of an eye. After a moment, she said slowly, “Prince Regent, Young Marquis, please come with me. I’ve already arranged a place for you. However, the King of Xinan’s residence is nothing like the capital. I hope you don’t mind.”

Luo Xiuran said sincerely, “It’s already an honor that the King of Xinan’s

Residence is willing to take us in. How could we be picky?”

Suddenly, Jiang Ru turned to Liu Xiaolan and said, “Oh, right, there’s also this young lady…’
