“The Imperial Preceptor? He also has connections with the Wei family?” Yu Yunxi was shocked. The Imperial Preceptor’s web of connections was more vast than she had expected.

Feng Yili held her hand and stroked it with his calloused fingers as he asked, “Yunxi, have you ever considered that perhaps your mother’s identity wasn’t simple?”

Yu Yunxi fell silent when she heard these words. In fact, she had thought about this matter before. She lowered her gaze and said helplessly, “Back then, I already had my suspicions when the Crown Prince and the Empress spent so much effort to obtain my mother’s warm jade. Perhaps my mother really had a lot of secrets…

Alas, her mother had already passed away, and her secrets were buried with her.

Yu Yunxi muttered softly, “The enemy is hidden while we’re out in the open…

We’re indeed in a passive position. Fortunately, we’re not completely helpless.”

She suddenly thought of something and quickly walked out. She said to Qian Jiao, who was at the door, “Qian Jiao, find Qian Mei for me. I have something to tell her.”

“Princess Consort, Qian Mei is brewing medicine now,” Qian Jiao replied.

‘Brewing medicine?’

Yu Yunxi frowned. She did not ask Qian Mei to brew medicine at all.

Sensing Yu Yunxi’s confusion, Qian Jiao explained, “Feng Zixiu fell sick so Qian Mei is brewing medicine for him.”

“Feng Zixiu is sick?” Yu Yunxi was even more puzzled.

“Yes. I heard that he threw a temper tantrum earlier and refused to eat. He even soaked himself in cold water for a long time and caught a cold as a result,’ Qian Jiao said, shaking her head.

‘How can he be so stubborn?’

Yu Yunxi’s expression was grave as she said in a low voice, “Bring me my silver needles.”

“Yes.”

Qian Jiao quickly left.

Meanwhile, Jiang Ying was still standing nervously at the side. He had no idea Yu Yunxi was also in the study. Did this mean that she had heard him earlier?

He stammered, trying to think of an excuse, “Princess Consort, about Wei Medical Hall…”

Yu Yunxi calmly said, “His Royal Highness has already told me about it. Tell the people from Wei Medical Hall to leave. As long as I’m around, they won’t be able to threaten His Royal Highness.”

Jiang Ying almost cried tears of joy when he heard this. Before he hurried away, he said, “Yes, Princess Consort. I understand. I’ll tell them to leave now.” Jiang Ying’s light footsteps betrayed his joy and excitement.

When Qian Jiao returned with the silver needles, Yu Yunxi returned to the study. She asked worriedly, “How are you feeling now? Are you still in pain?” “I’m fine.

Feng Yili had heard what she had said earlier. He revealed a weak smile and comforted her gently.

Yu Yunxi was slightly dazed when she saw Feng Yili’s smile. She had always known that he was good-looking, but at this moment when he smiled, the candlelight seemed to dim considerably. When she returned to her senses, her ears were slightly red. She averted her gaze as she walked toward him and said softly, “I’ll perform acupuncture on you now. It’ll suppress the remnant of the Springwood Separation poison in your body.”

“Okay,” Feng Yili replied hoarsely, trusting her to perform acupuncture on his head.

After a long time, Yu Yunxi finally sat down next to Feng Yili and said, “We’ll have to wait for two hours before removing the needles…”

Yu Yunxi could not help but yawn as she spoke. She had been busy the entire day and was tired. It did not take long before she fell asleep on the table.

Seeing this, Feng Yili could not help but feel distressed. He picked her up and went behind the screen. There was a bed behind the screen in the study. He took off her shoes and placed her on the bed before he covered her with a blanket. After making sure she was warm, he slowly walked out.

He said in a low voice to Jiang Ying, who was guarding outside the study, “In two hours, find me a doctor to remove the needles.

“Yes, Your Royal Highness.”

Early in the morning.

When Yu Yunxi woke up, she found herself lying on the bed in the study. She frowned slightly and when she recalled what happened yesterday, she quickly got up.

“Oh, no. I forgot to remove the silver needles for Feng Yili!”

She did not put on her shoes and ran out barefoot. However, as soon as she ran past the screen, she bumped into a person.

“Be careful,” Feng Yili said as he reached out to stabilize her.

“Feng Yili, the needles…” Yu Yunxi said, slightly anxious.

“I asked Jiang Ying to find me a doctor to remove them,” Feng Yili said gently.

“That’s good..

Yu Yunxi heaved a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Feng Yili noticed her bare feet. His gaze darkened as he asked, sounding slightly stern, “Where are your shoes?”

“Oh, I, I was a little anxious earlier so I forgot to put them on,” Yu Yunxi explained awkvvardly as she scratched her head. She thought that Feng Yili found her sloppy.

Unexpectedly, Feng Yili carried her back to the bed.

“Feng Yili, what are you doing?” Yu Yunxi asked nervously.

Feng Yili did not say anything. He kneeled on the ground and silently helped her put on her shoes.

“Feng Yili, you’re a prince. This kind of thing, you…”

However, he said calmly, “It’s true that I’m a prince, but I’m also your husband. Isn’t it only right for a husband to help his wife put on her shoes?”

Looking at his side profile, Yu Yunxi’s heart began to beat wildly. After a moment, she whispered, “Don’t you have to go to morning court?”

“I’ll go in a while. There are still a few days left before the imperial palace sends off the people of Nanyue. You have to be very careful during this time. I feel like Nan Xun won’t just leave without doing anything…” Feng Yili reminded her seriously.

“I understand.”

“Is my hat crooked?” Feng Yili suddenly asked.

“Hmm? Crooked? I don’t think so.’

Yu Yunxi looked at the black hat on Feng Yili’s head with a frown before she shook her head.

“But I feel like it’s crooked. I’ve been away from the capital for too long, and this is the first time I’m attending court after such a long time. I have to look my best. Can you help me take a look again?” Feng Yili asked as he lowered his head slightly so Yu Yunxi could have a better look.

Yu Yunxi tiptoed and raised her hand to adjust Feng Yili’s hat. However, in the next moment, he grabbed her shoulder and pulled her forward slightly. Following that, she felt warmth on her head, and she stiffened slightly. He had kissed her forehead.

“Princess Consort, I’m going to court now,” Feng Yili said with a soft chuckle.

Yu Yunxi looked at him in a daze. When she returned to her senses, she could only see his back.

‘So this is what it’s like between ordinary couples…’ Yu Yunxi touched her cheek. It was burning..
